For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.
Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.
But it's not over.
A thread.
For 5 decades, police officer Roger Golubski sexually assaulted Black women and forced to give false testimony that he used to send Black men to prison while he ran a sex trafficking and drug cartel in Kansas City Kansas
While this may seem like an end... There are still too many unanswered questions, including:
What about the KCK officers who used "Golubski's Girls" to imprison Black men like Lamonte McIntyre and WATCHED Golubski sexually assault a woman AT THE POLICE STATION
What happens to Terra Moorehead, the District Attorney who teamed up with Golubski?
After serving as DA, she became a federal prosecutor in the justice department.
What happens to Niko Quinn, who was forced to choose between testifying against that an innocent man killed her family member or losing her children?
What happens to the woman who testified under oath that Golubski came to her house "once a week or once every two weeks" to sexually assault her after putting BOTH OF HER SONS IN PRISON.
*TRIGGER WARNING
We know what happened to Golubski's partner, the cop who allegedly sat in the car while Golubski committed his weekly sexual assault:
Terry Ziegler became chief of police
What happens to the GOOD COPS, like the special agent who warned his superiors that Golubski was a racist and a sexual abuser
What happened to the girls Golubski imprisoned at the apartment complex used for sex trafficking that was owned by the drug dealer he protected?
And there is one other part that every one knows but no one seems to want to talk about.
Roger Golubski is probably a serial killer.
For years, there has been a string of unsolved homicides of Black women in Kansas City.
Many of them were last seen with Roger Golubski
Many of these women's bodies were dumped in the QUindaro Park neighborhood Golubski patrolled
I've actually mapped the route while walking it with the survivors
I am in constant contact with the survivors.
But no one wants to tell their stories.
I know. For 4 years, I've met with your favorite networks and streaming services. I've talked to TV executives and news outlets. They DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS STORY
To them, it's just another story about a corrupt cop. They told me they aren't interested in "social justice" stories after "The George Floyd era."
To me, this is a story about the cops, prosecutors, judges and the SYSTEM that allowed it to happen.
It's about the Black women who WOULD NOT STOP until Golubski was brought to justice.
But no one wants to tell that story.
Even if they did, now that Golubski is dead, the story is over to them.
So I'm going to tell it myself.
This is why I'm building a ContrabandCamp.
Although we debut on Jan 20, 2025, you can subscribe for Cyber Monday for 60% off.
Now, the first thing we have to acknowledge the inherent whiteness of your question.
You don't get to define the idea of freedom. For instance, there is a reason why most countries don't allow everyone to own guns carte blanche; it's stupid.
Had it not been for slavery, 2nd Amendment wouldn't exist in the federal constitution. Only 4 of the original 13 state constitutions contained a "right to bear arms'
According to @Grok, Apartheid Elon is literally the biggest spreader of misinformation on Twitter. But I'm willing to give the literal Grammar Nazi a pass on this one because he doesn't know much about HIS OWN history.
It began before America existed, when the Favres, a white family (Yes, an ancestor of Brett) moved to the Mississippi Valley to start a family business. They initially worked for France. Then, Spain. They eventually secured a lucrative contract with the US government.
The scam was simple. They would move near a indigenous people to trade guns in exchange for allowing white people to live in peace.
Now, EVERY CULTURE fought over territory, including the Choctaw & other natives. So having more guns than a rivals meant more territory.
In the days before WebMD, an enterprising scammer could make a fortune promoting ANYTHING as a health product. If you wanted to stay healthy, you needed to include gin, a few cigarettes and some tonic to your health routine
But if a scammer REALLY wanted people to trust a product, they would sell it straight to a pharmacy. Like the dude who couldn't sell his tonic named after Dr. Joseph Lister (who had nothing to do with it). He made a deal pharmacist, & the pharmacist sold it as a health drink
I've seen SO MANY ppl use the shutdown as an opportunity to demonize people who receive SNAP benefits, WIC and any kind of government assistance.
Here's the thing:
I agree with those people.
We need to end the WHITE welfare state
BECAUSE welfare works.
A thread:
The original welfare program began when the government decided to help the lazy, uneducated Jamestown colonists who didn't want to work. In exchange for bringing carpenters, farmers & indentured servants who knew how do stuff, colonizers received 50 free acres in "headrights" or "patents."
Virginia even recorded names of the migrant workers. On Apr 19, 1638, George Menefie received 3,000 acres for 60 "servants." But there's only 37 names.
What happened?
He received 1,150 acres, an area about the size of Harlem, for 23 unnamed "negroes..."
I’m sure you think I’m gonna mention Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, the Black fur trader who is known as the first non-indigenous resident of Chicago.
But du Sable was not enslaved when he moved to the mouth of the Chicago river in 1790.
So who TF was buying furs?
Well, remember all that was French territory. In 1719 French entrepreneur Philippe François Renault hopped in a boat in the South of France, stopped in Haiti to purchase 200-500 humans beings & headed to “Upper Louisiana”
By 1760, 900 ppl were enslaved in “Illinois Country”
