Chapter 361, Concern
While public opinion is in complete chaos and people are arguing whether Orvis is a victim or a self-inflicted one, the situation is quietly changing.
The momentum of the NYPD and the District Attorney's Office, which had previously been investigated with great fanfare, is quietly waning, and people's attention is focused on the war of words between non-profit organizations and the media, without noticing that the NYPD and the District Attorney's Office are lowering their presence.
As the topic continues to heat up, the focus of controversy has risen from Orvis itself to the degree of more demanding sexism against women in the public.
The NYPD and the District Attorney's Office successfully became invisible. Pence Norton may have sensed it, but he was powerless to stop it.
His public opinion position is under fierce attack by public welfare organizations, and he has no time to pull the NYPD and the District Attorney's Office.
Due to the capital nature of the Federation, many people often have a misconception that in the Federation, if you have money, you can reverse black and white and do whatever you want.
Actually, this perception is problematic. In the Confederation, money can do whatever it wants, but only if capital is supported by power at the same time.
The constitution of the federation states that the power of the federation belongs to 'democracy', and its essence is not different from the perception of power in another ideology, except that the power structure of the federation was initially built with the support of capital, which naturally established rules in its favor to ensure that power remained in its own hands.
Thus, in the Federation, capital often coincides with power. In other words, the essence of capital that does whatever it wants in the Federation is still power.
It's just that in most cases, capital and power go hand in hand, which gives people the illusion that capital can do whatever it wants.
But that's not exactly the case. In rare cases, when capital and power are opposites, power becomes a shackle that restricts capital.
They can fight back and forth. Brooklyn has taken advantage of this to create this 'very rare' situation.
If Pence Norton represents capital, Brooklyn + Frank + Winston represents power.
In fact, the confusion between capital and power did not arise from the founding of the Union. This phenomenon has only slowly emerged in the nineties of the last century after the Federation defeated his biggest opponent and was invincible in the world.
The early federal capital and power support and restrain each other, which will form a good and benign development.
As the biggest opponent collapsed, the Federation drew its sword and looked around, and after finding that there was no more opponent, capital and power began to move closer to each other, mixing together, making it difficult to tell the difference.
In essence, it is not wrong to say that federal capital is equal to power today, and the situation in New York is just an accident.
Perhaps even Frank, the 'initiator of chaos', did not realize that the current and upcoming conflict in New York is essentially a rebellion against the erosion and control of capital by government power.
Brooklyn realized this, so he jumped on the bandwagon and made sure he got something out of it while helping the power get back on track.
Ray was also aware of this, so he was interested in this conflict. He didn't rush into it.
The Ray era of CPUSA changed the high profile of the Lyleigh Crewe period, they did not publish propaganda or public advocacy, did not organize speeches or participate in hot events, they just existed in a low-key manner, silently developed, silently watching everything that happened.
Ray is intrigued by the collision of the Brooklyn + Frank + Winston combo with Pence Norton + former allies + former allies.
Ray's companions were also interested in the collision. There is even a voice within them that the outcome of this collision will determine their future course.
If the combination of Frank + Brooklyn + Winston wins, it means that in the land of the Union, capital has not yet developed to the point where it can do whatever it wants, and the country can still be saved.
If Pence Norton + former allies + former allies are victorious, it means that capital has become invincible in the land of the Federation.
The opponent of the CPUSA has never been the federal government, not the federal state, but capital.
CPUSA never intended to upend the federal state. The state, the government, the regime, the people who hold the power, the people, are different concepts.
……………… Monday, May 7th. At the regular meeting, Brooklyn put forward suggestions for simplifying procedures and improving office efficiency, and invited everyone to speak.
His proposal, however, did not arouse much interest. A judge is a job, a job that earns the same salary as a businessman, a doctor, a policeman.
This is the perception of the vast majority of people. Not that many people are proud to be a judge in itself.
Therefore, everyone is not enthusiastic about improving office efficiency, and in their opinion, it is not a day to improve or not, and there is not much difference.
Due to the ethical requirements of the profession, they need to be conscientious, but that's about it. Their due diligence is a professional requirement, and failure to do so they may be removed from office.
In a way, politicians are the purest group of people in the Commonwealth – they love their profession, and it is their heartfelt love that drives them to choose their profession, not for their pay.
Moreover, the courts in New York are experiencing the onslaught of a litigation frenzy, and people are usually too busy to think about improving office efficiency.
Faced with such a scene, Brooklyn was not too surprised, he just glanced at Clement with some regret, and then spoke
"If you have ideas or comments, you can come to me at any time, and I will also summarize them to ensure that the process is simplified without affecting the normal operation, and the office efficiency is improved, and the burden is also reduced for everyone to improve work efficiency." With that, Brooklyn declared the meeting closed.
Back in the office, waiting for the computer to turn on, Brooklyn summoned Joseph Jr. and asked with a smile
"How's it going to be like testifying?" Joseph Jr. recalls last week when he stupidly took an invalid vacation.
Instead of looking embarrassed or annoyed, he asked with a grin
"Saturday is a holiday, Judge Brooklyn, can you move my vacation to today?" Brooklyn laughed dumbly.
Little Joseph shrugged. He just saw that Brooklyn was in a good mood today, and he was just joking.
Brooklyn is in a good mood. Pence Norton's public opinion offensive was blocked by public welfare organizations, and the NYPD and the District Attorney's Office withdrew from the whirlpool of public opinion as planned and began to 'reduce the burden' for Pence Norton, but Pence Norton seemed to be running out of donkey skills, and he did not show new moves except for constantly winning over allies.
But Brooklyn hasn't let its guard down completely. He still remembers Pence Norton's speech that day, and remembers that he co-opted a 'brain' from the past.
Turning on the computer, logging into the mailbox, and browsing through the pages of unread emails, Brooklyn subconsciously frowned.
He worked diligently for two days last weekend, and as a result, the number of indictments that needed to be processed not only did not decrease, but increased.
Brooklyn was manipulating the mouse and was just about to get to work when a new email was sent to his mailbox.
When I clicked on the email, Brooklyn came to the spirit. This is an indictment against Edward Norton!
The plaintiff signed the name of a number of public interest organizations. So fast? Brooklyn was a little surprised. You know, they were only pulled into the game last Friday, and they officially took over the 'main battlefield' on Saturday, and it was only less than two days before they found enough evidence to prosecute Edward Norton?
Brooklyn patiently looked down and found that their indictment was similar to Chandler Kane's, and even Chandler Kane's spelling mistakes were copied in the description of the story.
The only difference is that they additionally submit a list of banquet company attendants as evidence.
According to the indictment, the succubus banquet company is a company that specializes in banqueting events, providing customers with venues, drinks and dishes, service staff and entertainment.
Such companies are common in the federal government. Perhaps in the ancient, elegant and noble continent of Europa, people will hold banquets by the butler Zhang Luo, who has his own servants to provide services, but in the Federation there is no such thing, the Federation people prefer to spend money on services, the organizer is only responsible for paying for the money, and the other matters are handled by the organizer.
Importantly, Brooklyn saw the name of Ovis De Silva Velázquez in the list of service personnel at the Succubus Company.
Orvis used to be a waiter for a succubus! Succubus ...... Brooklyn didn't think the name was a good thing to hear.
However, this does not detract from the weight of this new evidence. One of the key factors in the dismissal of the last time Chandler Kane sued Edward Norton was that they simply failed to produce evidence pointing to Edward Norton.
Even if Orvis did be assaulted, they could not produce evidence that the person who assaulted her was Edward Norton, and they could not even produce evidence that pointed to Edward's suspicion.
Edward Norton, like the other people Orvis has met and crossed paths with, is on an equal footing with them.
Doubt Edward Norton, why not doubt everyone else that Orvis has met? It's good now.
The non-profit organizations came up with a list of succubus companies, and they only needed to find out Edward Norton's connection to the succubus company.
Brooklyn didn't blame Frank and Chandler about why they hadn't found the idea of the Succubus Company.
As a serious government agency, neither the NYPD nor the District Attorney's Office is likely to send undercover agents to a company like Succubus.
There are so many banquet companies in New York, even if they have the spare energy to investigate one by one, when will they have to investigate?
Even if they find the succubus company, on the premise that it is not involved in criminal activities, what can they ask the succubus company to show the company's personnel list and customer list?
Isn't it true that non-profit organizations don't get a list of customers?
"Bob." Thinking so, Brooklyn shouted loudly. It wasn't Bob, it was Joseph Jr. who came.
Brooklyn raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down.
"Mr. Bob was busy picking out the indictment, and he asked me to come over." Joseph Jr. said. Brooklyn nodded, gesturing to the computer screen
"Give them a summons, go through my schedule, and schedule a hearing as soon as possible."
"Arranged in court." Brooklyn gave another admonition, clicked on the acceptance, and flipped to the next email.
Joseph Jr. was craned his neck to write down the name and address of the original defendant, but before he could even finish the first line of the plaintiff, he was turned the page by Brooklyn.
He looked at Brooklyn dumbfounded.
"What do you see me doing?" Brooklyn said without looking back
"Go find it in the server yourself." It's no wonder that little Joseph is slow, but the indictment alone has three lines for the plaintiff, and he can write it down at once...... Five minutes later.
"Bob!" Brooklyn shouted again. No echo was heard, and Brooklyn shouted again
"Little Joseph!" Still no response.
"Little Joseph!!"
"He's going to help you issue a subpoena." Nelly said outside. Brooklyn looked up at Nelly
"How long does it take to fill out two subpoenas?" Nelly shrugged, bowed her head and continued her work. Brooklyn said it was good at the meeting in the morning, and when she came back, she dumped the work of simplifying the office process to Nelly.
"What about Peter?" Brooklyn asked again.
"Went to jail with Ray." Nelly replied without looking up. Brooklyn then remembered that Ray had left with Peter as soon as the morning meeting was over.
He pursed his lips, dissatisfied with little Joseph's work efficiency. Just check the address, fill out two summonses, and replace Bob with a long time ago.
Bob had only been away from him for less than half an hour, and he was already missing Bob. After muttering a word, Brooklyn marked the indictment in his hand, clicked on acceptance, and continued to look through the next one.
On the other side, Ray was driving Peter Adams to the Metropolitan Correctional Center. There was a problem with an inmate in the Metropolitan Prison, and they went to deliver the verdict.
Judgments can be read and produced in court, but the courts have been busy lately, and judges have to choose to read them out in court and serve them after post-production.
It could have been by mail, but this prisoner is dying, and if the mail is continued, at the speed of FedEx, and when the verdict is delivered, I am afraid that the prisoner's funeral will be completed.
Ray explained the work to Peter while driving, and he was very dedicated to Peter, so to speak, teaching by hand.
But Peter was not satisfied. To be exact, he was not satisfied with the Brooklyn arrangement. He came to learn to be a judge, not a bailiff.
Originally, it was nothing, and I followed the bailiff to familiarize myself with the process first, and then slowly learned how to be a judge.
But everything is afraid of comparison. He was one of the first to join Court No. 9, where he was still learning how to be a bailiff, and Joseph Jr., a latecomer, came from behind and was personally taught by Brooklyn.
This made Peter feel very unbalanced. He felt that this was Brooklyn's revenge, revenge for his 'speaking out' in the first place.
So there was a lot of rambling on and on, and Peter just listened in silence, with his left ear in and his right ear out, leaving not much left.
Ray rambled a lot, but when he finished speaking, he didn't get any feedback, he glanced at Peter, sighed, and said no more.
The two arrived at their destination in silence.
