  3. Please be careful when withdrawing cash in Czech regime - in my opinion (IMO), the Czech regime falsely accuses and publicly slanders people of taking more money than belongs to them and the police are searching for them:

    First, she is IMO falsely accused by the regime police and media of leaving with money which doesn't belong to her and is searched by the regime police:
    -------------------------------------------------

    "The elderly woman left the branch with extra money, the police are looking for her"
    idnes.cz/plzen/zpravy/plzen-po

    "An elderly woman left the branch with extra money, the police are looking for her" -- a photo of the woman with a visible face -- "an elderly woman left a few thousand CZK richer" -- "she didn't return the money that didn't belong to her. The police are looking for the woman."
    media24.cz/article/kuriozni-ch

    "The police are looking for the woman from the photo" -- "the Pilsen police are investigating" -- "she took several tens of thousands CZK from the Pilsen post office, which did not belong to her"
    novinky.cz/clanek/krimi-na-plz

    Then the media and the regime police IMO confesses that the woman did not take the money:
    ------------------------------------------

    "she doesn't have the thousands paid by mistake" -- "the police found out that this woman took only her money from the branch, and that's why we're canceling this search," the police spokeswoman explained.
    idnes.cz/plzen/zpravy/plzen-po

    "the police found that this woman only took her money from the branch, and therefore we are calling off this search," said the police spokeswoman" -- "the woman did nothing wrong"

  4. You don’t get much more official than executing a #judicial #warrant. Concealing #evidence after the fact is a separate offense that also fits what is publicly known about both the #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti cases. The resulting #criminal penalties would attach to anyone who conspired in that concealment. This could reach more senior figures in the #Trump admin who acted to hinder #justice by using #lies & #slander to deflect responsibility &—worse—to score political points from the deaths.

  5. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    The cruelest lies are often told in silence. A man may have sat in a room for hours and not opened his teeth, and yet come out of that room a disloyal friend or a vile calumniator.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1879-05), “The Truth of Intercourse,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 39

  9. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    “Censure,” says a late ingenious author, “is the tax a man pays for being eminent.” It is a folly for an eminent man to think of escaping it, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution. There is no defense against reproach but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness, as satires and invectives were an essential part of a Roman triumph.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-06-26), The Spectator, No. 101

  10. A quotation from Moliere

    MME. PERNELLE: The tongues of spite are busy night and noon.
    And to their venom no man is immune.
     
    [Les langues ont toujours du venin à répandre,
    Et rien n’est ici-bas qui s’en puisse défendre.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 5, sc. 3 (1669) [tr. Wilbur (1963)]

  11. A quotation from Moliere

    DORINE: Those who have the greatest cause for guilt and shame
       Are quickest to besmirch a neighbor’s name.

    Sont toujours sur autrui les premiers à médire.]

  12. A quotation from C. C. Colton

    The two most precious things on this side the grave are our reputation and our life. But it is to be lamented that the most contemptible whisper may deprive us of the one, and the weakest weapon of the other. A wise man, therefore, will be more anxious to deserve a fair name than to possess it, and this will teach him so to live as not to be afraid to die.

    Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
    Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 555 (1820)
