“Click here for a Killer.” The dark internet web is filled with anonymous people who are very dangerous. A man named “Yura” had built an organization online where anyone can hire someone to murder for money. Many “Hit-men” audition for “Yura” who receives requests to kill around the world. He has changed his organization name numerous times. So that he can stay hidden from law enforcement. He has no name identity and no physical address.

Internet technicians have found “Yura” on the dark web. Peter Van Sant asked for an interview, but “Yura” thought the law was following the CBS crew. He claimed that he wanted to help innocent people. So, he gave “48 Hours” names of individuals who were gonna be killed around the world. Peter and his working colleagues called local police in each country. They stopped multiple planned “contract hits” on people. Unfortunately, they couldn’t stop the murder of Amy in the United States. Her husband went onto “Yura’s” website and hired a killer. “Yura” had taken too long and the husband may have decided to kill his wife himself. 

After 6 months on the “Yura” investigation. Internet technicians believe that he is con-man for money. “Yura” says that his clients are the dangerous ones who want to kill. Who is telling the truth?

20 million tune into 'Kavanaugh and Ford' US Senate hearings 2018

Hello everyone. I usually don't do this, but America is at a crossroads of intense politics. The mid-term elections is approaching in November 2018 and the fight against the current Donald Trump "White House" administration. He nominated judge Brett Kavanaugh for the supreme court. He is controversial over his support of a sitting President not being prosecuted while in the "White House." Trump has been accused of collusion with "Russia" who had interfered with the 2016 Presidential Election. The Robert Mueller investigation continues over this collusion as we speak.

It has been reported that more than 20 Million viewers tuned into the U.S. Senate hearings on Thursday Sept. 27, 2018. Christine Blasey Ford testified over several hours with her accusation against Brett Kavanaugh. She claimed that he sexually assaulted her back in 1982. He denies this claim. Millions of Americans believed Christine to be a credible witness. Many do not believe Brett as credible after he became angry and belligerent during his own testimony. 

The US Senate floor vote on Brett Kavanaugh has been put on hold. The Republicans have the majority of seats in the Senate. The FBI will have one week to re-open the background investigation on Brett. The Republican Senate judiciary committee would not let the FBI re-open Brett's background check as they rushed to get him into the supreme court. 

Below is a comedy monologue from Bill Maher on the latest news with the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

MAKING A MURDERER (Part 2) on NET-FLIX. I cannot wait for this sequel to premiere. The first 10-part series was absolutely riveting. It also made me angry over the injustice of these two men convicted. The evidence on this conviction is just laughable and the prosecuting lawyer was a buffoon. I hope this next 10-part unearths the truth and frees these two men. "Netflix" has just released a teaser trailer for "Making a Murderer" Part 2. Check it out.

Spoiler Alert 'Elementary' Season Finale was kind of a shocker

ELEMENTARY on CBS. The TV crime show has been renewed for a 7th TV season by the network. There has not been any announcement yet on when that season will begin. Let's hope they keep it on Monday night's in 2019.

SPOILER ALERT. If you haven't watched the season finale episode, "Whatever remains, however improbable." Stop reading....

There was a shocker in the finale episode and I couldn't believe it. Joan Watson became the main suspect in the murder of Michael who was a serial killer. The FBI wanted to throw her into prison. Sherlock did everything he could to keep his partner out of jail. He uncovered the truth involving Captain Gregson. It turns out that he covered up Michael's murder because it was his daughter who killed him. Gregson wouldn't help Watson either and was willing to let her go to prison. 

Watson empathized with Captain Gregson's feelings and decided not to go to the FBI with his cover up. Sherlock was furious and confessed to killing Michael himself. He got the gun that killed him from Gregson's daughter and handed it over. The FBI took the confession and couldn't arrest Sherlock because he fled to London. They won't extradite him back to the U.S. He said an emotional goodbye to Watson. Their consultant work under Captain Gregson is over, who will soon retire anyway. Detective Bell is also leaving the police department to train as a U.S. Marshall. Their time in New York City is over.

The surprise here is when Sherlock returned to London and 221-B "Baker Street." He continues his work as a consultant detective. Watson had followed him to England and moved in next door to Sherlock. They will now solve murders in London. It will be an interesting season 7.

The FBI questions Watson whom they believe was overly obsessed with Michael. They think she wanted him dead. He leaves a phone message and makes it sound like Watson is attacking him in his home. Michael tries to frame her and Watson asks for a lawyer. Sherlock and Joan ask each other if they killed Michael. They both deny it and decide to search for the killer themselves. The FBI ordered them off the murder case and Captain Gregson cannot help them. Can Sherlock and Watson’s partnership survive this?

It was ten days later when police found his dead body in a field that was decomposed from the summer heat.

Ad Agency argues with SAG-AFTRA over signatory contracts

SAG-AFTRA sent a letter to all union members.

Dear Roscoe,

"Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH), an ad agency owned by Publicis Groupe, publicly announced this week they are no longer signatory to the SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contracts. In an open letter to actors, BBH claims their reason for trying to illegally abandon their obligations to you, the commercial performer, is because our union contract is outdated and we haven’t evolved with the ad industry."

"That is simply not true."

"If BBH had been paying attention, they would know SAG-AFTRA negotiated the Social Media Waiver into the contract two years ago. Even more noteworthy, the union launched the popular Low Budget Digital Waiver a year ago. These and other changes allow significant flexibility in the creation of social media and digital ads. The industry loves them. These changes have helped top agencies successfully adapt to an evolving ad industry."

"BBH says '…this decision does not change our commitment to fair wages and working conditions.' Isn’t that interesting? In one of their recent non-union ads, they paid performers $150 to audition with a live bear. Other performers were paid $350 for a session fee and way under industry norms for residuals. Sorry, paying pennies on the dollar doesn’t sound like fair wages to us."  

"A SAG-AFTRA contract protects you from dangerous conditions and unacceptable rates. It stops employers from doing whatever the heck they want at the expense of their workers. (Did we mention the live bear?)"

"Don’t believe the lies. BBH is just trying to exploit talent so they can undercut their competition."

"Faced with this, we will now use every tool at our disposal to bring BBH back to the table to negotiate a fair contact for our members."   

In unity,

Gabrielle Carteris, SAG-AFTRA President

David White, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director

(Names were actually signed with their signatures. They didn't translate.)

'Sharky's Machine' Burt Reynolds passes away at age 82

Burt Reynolds starred in the classic film "Deliverance"(1972) that earned critical raves and was a breakout performance from him. He also starred in the prison football film, "The Longest Yard" (1974) that still holds up to this day. (Adam Sandler later remade the movie which didn't measure up). Burt also starred along side Dolly Parton in "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" (1982). He moved onto television with "Evening Shade" (1990-94).

My favorite movie of Reynold's is "Sharky's Machine" (1981). I noticed that it was an updated version of the classic murder mystery "Laura" (1944). Rachel Ward appeared as a high-priced call girl. (It was a few years before her major role in the TV mini-series "The Thorn Birds"). What I love about "Sharky's" is the movie soundtrack filled with great R&B music. The songs of that era is long gone. Burt is also hilarious as this vice cop. Rest in peace Mr. Reynolds...,

'Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood' could be absolute tabloid trash

If anyone knows me. I love classic films from the 1920's, 30's, 40's and 50's. I've read most autobiographies and biographies written on the movie stars of that era. Those written by the "stars" themselves are the most interesting and compelling.

The new documentary "Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood" is about a man who supposedly pimped for the "stars" and claims he slept with several leading ladies including Lana Turner. I just watched the movie trailer and it looks like this man wants to cash-in on the names of movie stars who are long gone from this earth. They are not here to defend themselves. 

Scotty claims that he "set" Katherine Hepburn up with 150 women. For over 50 years. I don't believe this claim because there are more than 40 biographies written on Hepburn. Wouldn't you think that the writers who have done extensive research, would've at least, mentioned this guy's name? They did not. I don't believe he was ever met Hepburn.

The outrageous claims about sex in this documentary sound ridiculous. The reason is because Scotty has no proof in "audio" or "video" recordings of such acts. Especially in this Internet Age where everything is uncovered. I don't believe for a minute that he had three-some "sex" with Lana Turner and Ava Gardner. Prove it or Show it or Keep Quiet. This documentary is based on the book Scotty had written which is popular because of salacious gossip.

Movie stars are public figures and gossip has followed them most of their lives. 99% of that gossip are lies. Look at Marilyn Monroe. She's been dead since 1962 and people are still creating lies about her in 2018. Many of those liars want the "limelight" themselves and they will do anything or say anything to cash-in on dead celebrities.
