DAILY VOICE - GREEN CARD MARRIAGE RING: OSSINING WOMAN CHARGED IN 1,000+ SHAM WEDDING SCHEME

Back in 2020 or so, local social media was rife with rumors about this; most commentary was dismissed as conspiracy (or worse) and conversation was essentially driven underground. This, however, popped up at the DAILY VOICE today:



Eleven New Yorkers have been charged in an alleged international immigration fraud scheme that arranged more than 1,000 sham marriages and collected tens of millions of dollars, federal prosecutors said.

The defendants were arrested on Wednesday, Aug. 12, after a two-count federal indictment was unsealed, according to the US Department of Justice. The network operated for more than a decade and arranged sham marriages between foreign nationals, primarily citizens of China, and US citizens to fraudulently obtain immigration status, prosecutors allege. Those indicted include---read more at Green Card Marriage Ring: Ossining Woman Charged In 1,000+ Sham Wedding Scheme, Feds Say - NewsBreak

MORE ON FLORENCE LABADIE, HER CROTON CONNECTION

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

We were reminded of this early film actress, who had achieved quite a bit of fame in her time, when we stumbled upon this 1915 ad for the Mutual production of Mons. Lecoq.  Click on the photos and links.

(For those who don't know, Monsieur Lecoq was a fictional detective created by Émile Gaboriau, a 19th-century French writer and journalist.)

But back to the very beautiful Labadie.

On August 28, 1917, La Badie was driving near Ossining, New York, when she swerved on Sope Hill in Croton-on-Hudson to avoid a collision with several trucks at 6:30 PM and went down a steep embankment. She was taken to the hospital in Ossining and died from septicemia (blood poisoning) as a result of injuries from the accident....

All this is related in a detailed and extensive article in  the YORK, PA DAILY RECORD---MYSTERY WOMAN IN THE YORK BUILT COUPE---Florence La Badie was a famous silent firm star that received a customized York built Pullman Deluxe Coupe in 1916. 

La Badie’s publicity photo, via Pinterest, is from the height of her career in that same time frame.....

The article remains available at

AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY... FAUCI... YET AGAIN...

Six and a half years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and after years of most in the media and the political class pretending it never happened, our response to the spread of the coronavirus is back in the news. All thanks to the not-so-fearless leader of our pandemic policy making, former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Anthony Fauci.

Fauci spent years, starting in early 2020 and beyond, as the center of attention in the United States and beyond. And boy did he know it and revel in it. Promoted by the media as a star "expert," an unbiased keeper of all scientific knowledge, and made into a celebrity thanks to his obvious political leanings and anti-Trump messaging, Fauci became beloved. Just ask him.

The release of his diaries though, revealed some thoroughly discrediting and upsetting details about Fauci's private beliefs.

He knew that lockdowns weren't working, saying that cases seemed to rise and fall regardless of what was closed and when. He knew that there was no justification for masking other than "everyone else is doing it already," and a desire to fit in with the CDC. He knew that COVID-19 vaccines weren't stopping the spread, and even worried about getting infected at an event that required proof of vaccination to attend.
