Was Albert Einstein Secretly Racist?

Albert Einstein’s private travel logs from the 1920s have been  translated into English. They reveal that the champion of civil rights had a xenophobic and racist attitude to people he met while travelling in Asia.

Einstein wrote that the “Chinese don’t sit on benches while eating but squat like Europeans do when they relieve themselves out in the leafy woods. All this occurs quietly and demurely. Even the children are spiritless and look obtuse.”

“It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races.”  “For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.”

“I noticed how little difference there is between men and women; I don’t understand what kind of fatal attraction Chinese women possess which enthrals the corresponding men to such an extent that they are incapable of defending themselves against the formidable blessing of offspring.” 

What Involvement Did al-Qa'ida Have With The Oklahoma City Bombing?

Terry Nichols took many trips to the Philippines in the years before the bombing and raises the possibility that he received explosives training from Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

Yousef and Nichols were in Cebu City, a hotbed of activity by the radical Filipino group Abu Sayyaf, on the same days, and that Nichols continued to make phone calls to Cebu for some time afterwards.

This was pursued at the time by McVeigh's trial lawyer, Stephen Jones. He was hoping to prove that Nichols was the true mastermind behind the bombing. Evidence that has emerged since then actually tends to indicate the opposite. Nichols was not in Oklahoma City on the day, may not have been involved in assembling the bomb, and may not have carried out a crucial robbery that prosecutors say financed the operation.

There is a possibility that US investigators missed a valuable opportunity to pursue leads that could have helped them prevent the September 11th attacks, since at least two of the suicide-hijackers were based in the Philippines.

Founding member of Abu Sayyaf, Edwin Angeles, turned informer in February 1995 after being arrested in the Philippines. He told a local investigator that he had met an American nicknamed "The Farmer", who strong physical resemblance to Nichols. Yousef was also at the meeting.

Supposedly, there are similarities between the Oklahoma City bomb and the devices used in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and in the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia in 1996. Does this mean that Nichols's true purpose in visiting the Philippines repeatedly during the early 1990s was to obtain explosives training?

After the judge in the McVeigh trial turned down Jone's request to admit Angeles' evidence, a Filipino prosecutor told a judge in Manila he had insufficient evidence to keep holding Angeles and he was released.

Angeles was beginning to give plenty of embarrassing information about officials in his own country and challenging the FBI's theory of the Oklahoma City bombing when he disappeared.

Nichols says that he was in Cebu City to visit the home of his mail-order bride. He spent a lot of time in the Philippines without her though and after he returned to the US he made 78 phone calls to Cebu City in the months before the Oklahoma bombing.

Convicted Pedophile Claims He Killed JonBenet

54 year old Gary Oliva, a convicted pedophile and long time suspect in JonBenet's murder case, has allegedly confessed to “accidentally” killing the six-year-old in a series of letters sent to a former high school classmate, Michael Vail. Olivia is currently serving a 10-year sentence in Colorado for possession of child pornography. He is up for parole in 2020.

“I never loved anyone like I did JonBenét and yet I let her slip and her head bashed in half and I watched her die. It was an accident. Please believe me. She was not like the other kids.”

“JonBenét completely changed me and removed all evil from me. Just one look at her beautiful face, her glowing beautiful skin, and her divine God-body, I realized I was wrong to kill other kids. Yet by accident she died and it was my fault.”

Vail has suspected Olivia for the last 22 years, ever since he received a disturbing phone call from him shortly after the murder.

“My suspicions began when Gary called me late at night on December 26, 1996. He was sobbing and said, ‘I hurt a little girl.’ … I tried to get more information out of him. The only other thing he told me was that he was in the Boulder, Colorado area. On December 27 I read on the front page of my local newspaper ‘Girl, 6, slain in Boulder, Colorado’. … I immediately called the Boulder Police Department and told them what I knew about Gary and what he had told me just days earlier. They didn’t get back to me. Three months later I called the police again to find out what was going on in its investigation of Gary, but instead I was sent to a police answering machine set up for tips on the JonBenét case. I left a message on the recorded line and again I never heard back from investigators.”

Despite receiving several tips from Vail, Boulder Police didn’t consider Oliva a suspect until 2000, when he was arrested on unrelated charges.

Police found a photo of JonBenét, a poem he’d written titled ‘Ode to JonBenét’, and a stun gun among his possessions.

Several investigators had theorized that a stun gun may have been used to subdue JonBenét the night of the murder.

New DNA testing methods failed to match Olivia's DNA to the crime scene evidence, but the Boulder Police department has since acknowledged that the crime scene was mishandled.

In 2002, Lou Smit, a retired homicide detective hired by the Boulder District Attorney, told 48 Hours that he still considered Oliva a suspect.  

Vail thinks that Boulder police have placed “too much emphasis on DNA matches” when it’s well known that “the crime scene and evidence in the case was compromised.” Vail has maintained contact with Olivia for years in hopes of coaxing  a confession out of him.

"I have now sent these letters to Boulder police in the hope it will get Gary to provide them with firm proof and to name who else may have been involved in JonBenét’s death. … Now they have this, a written confession, the police need to charge him with her murder.”

What Happened To Natalie Woods in the Dark Water and Did Ronald Reagan Help Cover It Up/

Dr. Phil Thinks O.J. Simpson Should Clear His Conscience Before He Dies.

Dr. Phil says that he wants to interview O.J. Simpson to interrogate him about the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

Dr. Phil has new podcast “Phil in the Blanks,” where he has conversations with people he admires and finds interesting. He's previously spoken to stars like Dolly Parton, Shaquille O'Neal and Jay Leno. 

"There are people I want to talk to before they die,” 

 "I wanna talk to O.J. before he dies. I wanna know. I’ve worked very closely with the Goldman family. I respect them so much. I respect them so greatly. I wanna talk to him because he can’t lie to me.”

The Goldman family won against Simpson in civil court, forcing the former football star to pay more than $33 million to them over his wrongful death. 

Dr. Phil believes that if he could sit across from O.J. Simpson, he’ll succeed where a Los Angeles court and countless interviews have failed by proving his guilt or innocence.

"If he’s telling the truth, then going through the interrogation that I would give him, it would be obvious to everyone in America, to everyone in the world that he is innocent,” 

"And if he’s not, it would be obvious to everyone in the world that he’s not, and he should unburden before he goes to his grave.”

Who Was Caylee Anthony's Father?

Some people think that Casey's own father was Caylee's dad. 

And some people believe that this man, Michael Duggan, was Caylee's father. He died in a one-car accident in Falmouth, Massachusetts, in October 2007.

Casey Anthony, according to testimony and first-person accounts, often told her family and friends that Caylee’s biological father died in a car accident in 2007.

Michael's mother, Donna MacLean, is certain he was Caylee's dad.

Donna is willing to take a lie-detector test and a DNA test to prove it.

Michael had a colorful family history. His parents divorced and his father had a sex-change operation, from Wilfred to Wendy. Wendy now in jail in Florida for serious DUI violations. After high school, Michael went to  to an uncle’s home in North Carolina, and then on his own.  Supposedly He was living in Tennessee, working for a moving company when Caylee was conceived. He was traveling all over the region moving furniture. And he would routinely visit Florida. His paternal grandparents had regularly taken him to visit friends who lived near Disney World in Orlando.

According to Michael's mom, Michael always stayed in touch. In late summer of 2007 during a telephone call, 

“we were talking about the upcoming birth of my other son’s baby boy,

I said I had really hoped for a baby girl grandchild, and that’s when Michael told me that he already had one.

I asked him about the circumstances… who is the family? He said the parents were George and Cindy Anthony. I asked who she was and he said her name is Casey. He told me her dad was a cop."

Donna MacLean also claims that her son told her that Casey wasn't pressuring him for child support and they were possibly putting the child up for adoption. He never mentioned the city in which the child and her mother lived. Testimony at Casey Anthony’s murder trial has revealed she talked to others about the possibility of putting Caylee up for adoption.

“All I want is to know the truth,” 

Donna says

“I’ve grieved for my son and now I want to grieve for my grandchild.”

Will We Ever Find Out Who Killed JonBenet?

Oh JonBenet, will we ever be able to prove who killed you? 

Everyone has their own beliefs on happens after death.

I don't know if it matters to you.

For all of us left down here on earth, there are some of us that are obsessed by you what happened to you. You captivated us with your beauty and light with your life and with your death we hunger for justice.

I hope one day that someone out there will make a deathbed confession to try to save what little soul they have left if any.

If this tragedy to have happened in your house and not yet be solved, there is someone covering up something somewhere out there.

We can not, or at least i can not, prove beyond a reasonable doubt who killed you. i like everyone else have my theories.

#1. The Famous Burke Theory
I use to believe that maybe he hurt you by accident and your parents covered up what he did, trying to protect him. Your parents probably thinking you were a goner all ready strangled you to make it look like a kidnapping.
With all their obvious loyal friends, money and influence, why would they do some of the stupid things they did?
Why not say she fell down the stairs while they were running, or something like that. Wouldn't that be a lot easier than all this elaborate kidnapping nonsense?
Wouldn't Burke have blurting something out to people by now, if he was involved. He was only a kid when it happened.

#2. The Christmas Party Theory
This one i believe more than i believe the Burke theory now.
There was fluid found on you and trauma as well, but they said it wasn't rape. That makes me confused. You got hit down there before or after death and someone got their jollies off on you? Maybe no one new about that part, except for who did it to you?
Maybe it isn't related to your death? Were you sexually assaulted at the party and threatened to tell and someone bashed you in the head? Was it a friend of your dad's. Did your dad try to help cover it up and carry you out to the car. drive you home, put your jammies on you and put you to bed without anyone that wasn't involved catching on? Then, hours later, noticing you were still alive, were you strangled and your kidnapping staged by your parents?

#3. Stranger Theory that some people(I find this ridiculous) believe.
Did some stranger break into your house, without really leaving any evidence or waking anyone up? Make there way through your dark house and get you out of bed without a struggle or drugging you? Then take you stealthily down the first flight of stairs, then down the other stairs to the basement, with it being pitch black, open the latch up top of the door with you in their arms? Then hit you in the head with something that they took with them, or hid so well they never found the evidence? Then they went upstairs and spent 4 hours writing the ransom note rough draft, throwing that in the garbage, writing the final draft of the long ransom note. Then put the ransom note on the stairs. After that they go down to the basement to get you or whatever and decide to strangle you. Then they leave as silently as they came?

I read the evidence, the interviews, all the information over and over again, and i don't think i will ever get it figured out for sure.

There is some things i think are weird. 
In my other articles, i have lists of suspects and evidence. 
In one of those articles, i have a supposed comment from the house keeper about you being wrapped up in a blanked that was taken from the dryer. That it was your favorite blanket and no one new it was there except for the housekeeper and your mom. Also the housekeeper says that the knife that was used to help make the thing that strangled you with, was supposedly one that the housekeeper kept hiding from Burke. And that, Burke, your mom and the housekeeper were the only ones that knew they were there.

Another thing that is not weird, but makes it hard to narrow down a suspect is, that there were so many people that had keys to your house. There were also so many people that had access to your parents bank statements that would know how much your father's bonus was, so they could put that in the ransom note.

Something that i think is weird is that 911 call. Like a lot of people, your mom sounds like she is kind of acting. She did seem upset and like she missed and loved you though. 

Your dad in my opinion, seemed like he was being deceptive in his interviews. I'm not a professional of any kind though. Maybe he was in shock, but why did he move you and tamper with evidence. And why, allegedly, did he disappear for a while the day you were kidnapped, before your body was found?

Did Michael Helgoth kill you or know who killed you and then someone killed him? An accomplice or someone of some sort? 

Whatever happened, it seems that Burke has had really rough life. 😟 

It's too bad this couldn't have been prevented and who ever did it, hopefully they never did or will do it again.

One day maybe the world will know what happened.

Marian Anderson was the first African American to perform with the New York Metropolitan Opera.

Marian Anderson was one of the most celebrated American singers of the twentieth century. She became an important figure in the struggle for black artists to overcome racial prejudice in the United States. She was recognized and adored for her talent as a recitalist and for the warmth, grace, and dignity that she embodied professionally and personally.

Marian Anderson was born on February 27, 1897, in Philadelphia, to John Berkley Anderson and Annie Delilah Rucker. Her father died when Marian was only ten. He had been accidentally struck on the head while at work at the Reading Terminal, just a few weeks before Christmas of 1909, dying of heart failure a month later at age 34.

Marian's mother went to work cleaning and doing laundry to support her three daughters. Marian was determined to give something back to her mother and began with the very first $5 she earned singing. 

The Union Baptist Church in Philadelphia, her family belonged, gave Marian her start as a singer in the choir, and continued to support her throughout her early career. Marian could not afford lessons with a professional voice teacher, so the church gave a concert to raise the money for her lessons. Her early career as a soloist grew from her performances at the invitation of other churches and church groups who had heard her sing at her church in Philadelphia.

Marian won first prize in the New York Philharmonic voice competition in 1925, and was immediately signed by a concert manager.

In 1939, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), refused permission for Anderson, to sing to an integrated audience in their Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. Thousands of DAR members, including First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, resigned from the organization because of this.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Walter White, executive secretary of the NAACP, helped arrange an open-air concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for Anderson. The concert had a crowd of more than 75,000 people and a radio audience was in the millions.

During World War II and the Korean War, Anderson entertained troops in hospitals and bases.

Later in 1955, she became the first African American to perform with the New York Metropolitan Opera. This was the only time she sang opera on stage.

In 1957, Anderson sang at the inauguration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who later made her a goodwill ambassador. Anderson worked for several years as a delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Committee giving concerts all over the world.

She participated in the civil rights movement in the 1960's. Anderson sang at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The same year, she was one of the original 31 recipients of the newly re instituted Presidential Medal of Freedom. Anderson began her farewell tour at Constitution Hall on October 24, 1964. It ended at Carnegie Hall on April 18, 1965.

Anderson died of congestive heart failure on April 8, 1993, at age 96. She had suffered a stroke a month earlier. She died in Portland, Oregon, at the home of her nephew, conductor James DePreist. She is interred at Eden Cemetery, in Collingdale, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia.

The Dating Game Killer: Pt. 3 Long Rode To Justice

With the trial in 1984, the jury found Alcala guilty of first-degree murder in Robin's death. He received the death penalty, which was overturned by the California Supreme court. They felt, by learning of Alcala’s past sex crimes, that the jury was prejudiced. It took six years put him back on trial.

After after Alcala's first was overturned, he was tried and convicted a second time in 1986. He was sentenced to death, but once again, the verdict was overturned by Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel in 2001.

31 years after the murder, Orange County Senior Deputy District Attorney Matt Murphy, who in 1979, was about the same age as Robin Samsoe, had the task of putting together the case again. 

“The ’70s in California was insane as far as treatment of sexual predators. Rodney Alcala is a poster boy for this. It is a total comedy of outrageous stupidity,”

Murphy said in 2010.

Alcala announced that he would be his own lawyer in his third trial.

He asked himself questions, referring to himself as “Mr. Alcala”, in a deep voice, which he would then answer. This would continue for five hours. He used an Arlo Guthrie song as part of his closing argument.

This time investigators had concrete evidence against him on four different murders from decades past, thanks to the prison’s DNA swabs. The prosecution was able to combine these new murder charges along with Robin Samsoe.

There was also a surprise witness at his sentencing,Tali Shapiro, the girl that Alcala had raped and beaten within an inch of her life about 40 years before.

The court handed Alcala the death penalty again, for the third time. Justice for Robin Samsoe, 12; Jill Barcomb, 18; Georgia Wixted, 27; Charlotte Lamb, 31; and Jill Parenteau, 21, had finally been achieved.

Investigators have continued to link the “Dating Game Killer” to many other cold case murders.

Rodney Alcala has not been executed and sits on death row in Corcoran State Prison, California, planning an appeal for his third death sentence.

"I want it carried out," 

Robin's mother says.

"I wanna live one day longer than him. I wanna live one day without feeling or hearing the name Rodney Alcala in my mind. I could die a happy woman."

Will the third time be the charm?

The Dating Game Killer Pt. 2: A Killer Is Born

Rodney Alcala was born Rodrigo Jacques Alcala Buquor in San Antonio, Texas, to Raoul Alcala Buquor and Anna Maria Gutierrez. In 1951, Alcala's father moved the family to Mexico. He abandoned them there three years later. His mother then moved Alcala and his sister to suburban Los Angeles.

In 1960, at age 17, Alcala entered the Army as a clerk. After a nervous breakdown, he went AWOL and hitchhiked to his mother's house. He was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder by a military psychiatrist and discharged on medical grounds. 

Then Alcala, with an IQ of 135, went on to attend UCLA School of Fine Arts.

It wouldn't be long before Alcala dove into a dark path.

At his first known attempt at killing, the victim was Tali Shapiro, an eight-year-old girl he’d lured into his Hollywood apartment in 1968. Shapiro barely survived her rape and beating with a steel bar.

Her life saved by a passing motorist, who’d reported a tip to police on a possible abduction. Alcala had fled and moved to New York where he used the alias John Berger to enroll in film school at New York University.

In June 1971, Cornelia Michel Crilley, a 23-year-old TWA flight attendant, was found raped and strangled in her Manhattan  apartment. Her murder went unsolved until it was connected to Alcala in 2011.

In 1971, he obtained a counseling job at a New Hampshire arts camp for children using a slightly different alias, "John Burger". After being recognized by kids from the arts camp, from an FBI poster, Alcala was finally identified and arrested in 1971,  only sent to prison on charges of assault due to Shapiro's parents not letting her testify. After spending three years behind bars, he soon spent another two years in prison for assaulting a 13-year-old girl identified in court records as "Julie J."

He was paroled again and flight risk Alcala traveled to New York to “visit relatives.”

This is where he killed a college student named Elaine Hover who was the daughter of a popular Hollywood nightclub owner and goddaughter of both Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin.
Her remains were found buried on the grounds of the Rockefeller Estate in Westchester County.

Soon after, Alcala got a job at the Los Angeles Times as a typesetter, in 1978, under his real name. At night he lured in young girls and boys to be part of his professional photography portfolio. Some of them were never to be heard from again. 

“The best time is at night.” 

Alcala told Cheryl on "The Dating Game."

A year after his Dating Game appearance, 17-year-old Liane Leedom walked away unscathed from a photo shoot with Alcala. He showed her his portfolio. Police have since released parts of it  to the public to aid in victim identification. The photos are still available to view HERE.

During this time, he was interviewed by members of the Hillside Strangler task force, but was later ruled out.

The case that would finally put an end to Alcala’s killing spree was that of 12-year-old Robin Samsoe.

Robin Christine Samsoe was a 12-year-old girl from Huntington Beach, California. She was born on December 13th, 1966. Robin loved ballet, she loved dancing and gymnastics.

"She was probably the most loving child a mother could have. Everything she did, she did to please me," 

her mother said.

"I loved her warmth."

Robin's friend, Bridget, said that a stranger approached them on the beach and asked if they’d want to do a photo shoot. Bridget recalled,

"And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, pops up Jackie Young, my neighbor. She goes, 'Bridget, is everything OK? Are you girls alright?' And man, he took that camera, turned his head down, and you could almost see, like, smoke comin' off his dress shoes. He just - he was gone." 

Shaken, Robin borrowing Bridget's bike, hurried to get to ballet.That was the last time anyone saw Robin alive. When her ballet teacher called to say she hadn't made it to class, her family immediately called 911.

Nearly 12 days later, a fire crew conducting routine fire prevention maintenance, had found Robin Samsoe's animal-ravaged remains in a remote location more than 40 miles from where she was last seen.

The pressure was on to find the killer.

Upon questioning Bridget, a police sketch artist drew up a composite.

Alcala’s former parole officer recognized the face. Between the sketch, Alcala’s criminal past, and the discovery of Robin’s earrings in Alcala’s Seattle storage locker, police felt confident that they had the right guy.

It had been nearly 11 years since Alcala had left 8-year-old Tali Shapiro for dead. Alcala was easy to find this time. He lived with his parents in Monterey Park, close to the mountains where Robin's remains were located.

Beth Kelleher was Alcala's girlfriend at the time. She said that,

"Rodney Alcala is an intelligent - well-mannered, pleasant, fun, outgoing, great individual."

She also talked about how much she loved him.
