MOUNT JULIET, TENNESSEE - A Midstate man said a police officer nearly choked him to death during a traffic stop.
The incident was caught on tape.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is investigating how Mount Juliet Cpl. Bill Cosby officer interacted with James Anders, Jr.
Cosby stopped the 26-year-old Wilson County man in April.
Cosby suspected Anders hid marijuana in his mouth. The officer used a vascular restraint technique to keep Anders from swallowing.
On the video recorded inside Cosby’s patrol car, Cosby said he smelled marijuana and handcuffed Anders and his passenger.
The video also showed the officer putting his hands around Anders’ neck. He applied pressure and told Anders to stick out his tongue. This happened for nearly two minutes before Anders lost consciousness.
Photographs released by Anders’ attorney showed injuries he sustained when he fell to the pavement.

CHESTERTOWN, NEW YORK - Disgraced and discredited blogger June Maxam has reported one of her readers to his ISP for searches on her little blog… Obsessed as Her Majesty is with her visitor log files, evidently something popped up that displeased Maxam.
[06/08/08: Another North Country Gazette reader reports being blocked, says she's local (New York), a (now-former) daily reader, and was blocked within a day of searching for "June Maxam" on Google and clicking on a link to the North Country Gazette. The reader says she's never used the search box on Maxam's site. She says that she went back to Google, followed one of the many links to Bad Cop News, and now knows what "...Maxam's all about...", saying that things "...always seemed kind of strange..." with respect to the (failed) North Country Gazette newspaper and website.]
[06-11-08: We just heard that mailfiles identified as containing Maxam's Ez Web server account mail are circulating with 'northco2' appearing in the file name. Sorry, we of course don't have 'em, so don't ask.]
For those not familiar with Maxam’s many missteps on the information superhighway, she’s an internet troll who takes pleasure in attacking and threatening others online. Maxam’s thinks she’s always right and a genius - while everyone else is always wrong and stupid. Maxam’s virtual droppings are scattered across the internet, as is whatever standing and reputation she began with.

CHESTERTOWN, NEW YORK - A Bad Cop News supporter reports that (his/her employer) a large proxy/firewall company protecting the safety and security of many Fortune 1000 firms has permanently blocked blogger June Maxam’s little North Country Gazette website. This action was taken a while ago, but we just found out today.
Supposedly “…it would take at least an act of God at this point..” to remove her blog’s domain and Ez Web’s IP addresses from the list of banned internet destinations.
Our supporter provided legal access to two corporate internal proxy servers with which we verified that their networks cannot access Maxam’s blog. Above is the error screen (identifying information and graphics/logos removed - click for a larger image) visitors see in place of Maxam’s blog. The second company’s server returned the same information in a slightly different format.
At this point 1.38 million (est. by services provider) visitors are blocked. A “trickle down effect” assures that sites on the provider’s ban list generally end up banned in other proxy/firewall company’s products. The number of blocked visitors can only increase as the hours pass…
Considering the extraordinary amount of time and effort June Maxam expends READING her site’s log files and banning visitors based on their domains, search queries, or browsing patterns, maybe she’ll have time to concoct more bogus conspiracy theories (ie: “Google Spoofing“) or investigate “Jack MeHoff“.
Maxam recently (again) “suspended” her little dog and pony show (unable to resist taking a shot at two of her victims including Bad Cop News), while whining about her blog’s lack of advertising revenue. Her posts restarted a couple of days latter, with no advertising visible besides the infestation of pay-per-click spam down the right side.
LOL! No good content = no traffic = no advertisers = no revenue. Its really basic and doesn’t require a degree in Rocket Science…)
Bad Cop News can’t and doesn’t take any credit for the above action.
There is nothing of value on the North Country Gazette blog that wasn’t authored by others and/or previously published elsewhere. Despite this fact, Bad Cop News and/or an interested third-party will soon negate blogger June Maxam’s censorship efforts and provide free unlimited, cached, unblockable, and completely uncensored offshore access to all North Country Gazette blog content.
June Maxam Continues To Make Friends On The Internet (Not!)
Found elsewhere: “[June Maxam] appears to live in her own little wonderland where threats and abuse of others is a major past time because the world of normal people will not conform to her set of laws that she wishes to impose on them.”
And: “The site [North Country Gazette] that had the original stories is very strange. I don’t know whether to classify it as unprofessional or what. I also saw that the original article had no mention whatsoever of the word nationwide. But now it does. The author of the article at ‘North Country Gazette’ [June Maxam] is apparently trying to pull something over on someone. The original has been edited and updated, yet the timestamp on the article has not changed! Very fishy. I guess someone’s ego can’t take responsibility for their own errors and they must reinforce their own self-image of infallibility”
“On top of that the site [North Country Gazette] is just strange. There seems to be no way to publicly comment on anything the site puts out. Everything appears to be behind the scenes without any accountability. And on top of it the place is plastered with copyright warnings that are ridiculous. They want you to tag their articles to social websites, but nothing can be reproduced anywhere without written permission. Yet the very restrictions stated are broken even by Google.”
And: “For one [June Maxam] who sends threats to everyone who disagrees with her. I send an e-mail to June Maxam basically saying that I find her style of “reporting” to be self indulgent, harmful and misleading, and that I would personally research her and her actions as a “journalist” and do some investigative reporting of my own to any and all that would listen in the hopes of keeping innocent sheeple from taking anything she writes as truth without first researching for themselves. I said that in my opinion, she’s a hack, etc. etc.”
“What did she [June Maxam] do? sent a complaint to my e-mail server saying that I had spammed her. I swear to god, I never once tried to sell her a thing. I just informed her without a single obsene word that I am aware of just how full of shit she is, and I was going to let anyone who would listen know, so as to avoid the embarrassment of taking her seriously. And she tattled. Told Yahoo lies about my e-mail. Probably edited it and sent an altered copy. I laughed my ass off. What a freaking narcisist! wow.”
Found elsewhere: “”I’ve had several conversations lately about sociopaths and the law, and [June Maxam] is almost a text book example of that kind of behavior, IMHO. I have no desire to squelch her voice, after all free speech is free speech, but the larger issue of what is news, and the responsibilities of the fifth estate are a huge issue. I would have trouble taking anything her organization publishes seriously.”"

NORTH BERGEN, NEW JERSEY - Internet talk radio show host Hal Turner (Hal Turner Radio Show) stumbled across a chart showing data reported by the Federal Reserve System. He predicts that U.S. banking system will collapse at the end of or soon after the current reporting period. That’s where current period’s data just happens to end.
[Sorry, this is too funny not to post somewhere. RA]

OFFICIAL DATA FROM THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OF GOVERNORS CONFIRMS BANKS WILL RUN OUT OF MONEY TO LEND BY LATE THIS YEAR
OUR “FRACTIONAL RESERVE” BANKING SYSTEM WILL COLLAPSE NOT LATER THAN 2009
Read MoreThe Chart above came directly from the federal reserve. It shows that late this year, “Non-Borrowed Reserves of Depositiory Institutions” will hit zero.
In layman’s terms this means all cash reserves of the banks will have been lent out; there won’t be any more money to lend to anyone. [Rambling continues at the link below.]

CHESTERTOWN, NEW YORK - Disgraced and discredited blogger June Maxam’s recent hosting move from iPower Web to Ez Web put her on a server in GNAX’s Atlanta data center, which placed the operation of her little blog under Georgia statute, and (literally) right into the lap of a BCN friendly attorney in Fulton county.
Maxam posted false and defamatory statements about Bad Cop News on the 25th, and is now going to have to remove them, publish a retraction, or immediately face civil action in Fulton County.

CHESTERTOWN, NEW YORK - Disgraced and discredited North Country Gazette blogger June Maxam again seeks your sympathy and money in her latest spew of textual diarrhea, while blaming others for the total failure of her tiny blog to support her in the lifestyle of the rich and famous.
Readers are left to guess which business model Maxam hoped could have survived the damage she’s sustained amid her online attacks on hosts, sites (including Bad Cop News), and individuals.
Fortunately any reputable advertisers will Google “June Maxam” or “North Country Gazette” and follow the trail Maxam’s blazed across the internet in her continuing online efforts against others.
Considering the growing number of readers Maxam had banned for daring to read her little blog, it is difficult to call her a blogger, she leaves us the impression that she merely masturbating for her own self gratification.
Hopefully June Maxam will finally realize that suicide is the answer to all of her problems, saving future innocent victims from her misdirected wrath.

NCG Suspending Operations
Effective immediately, The North Country Gazette is suspending operations indefinitely
Over the past three months, there has been an attempt by certain individuals to shut down NCG, individuals who have engaged in an orchestrated smear campaign such as badcopnews.com. The NCG website has been hacked on several occasions, files and email accounts stolen and in some instances, republished on other websites.
Steven Ertelt of LifeNews.com and others have engaged in a campaign of defamation on the Internet. Concerted efforts have been made to affect certain advertising revenues. There has been intense harassment, even to the level of death threats which have resurfaced in the last several days. As was the stated intent of these individuals, NCG revenues have been severely impacted.
The individuals responsible have been identified, the matters are currently under state and federal investigation and await resolution.
Efforts to obtain sponsors, advertisers and new subscribers, to replace the lost revenues, have not been successful to date and we continue to encourage people interested in helping to underwrite the operations or advertising to contact us. It has become increasingly exasperating to have bloggers, message boards, and forums continue to steal entire articles without permission such as our series on Pinellas County Corruption, coverage of Troopergate, the Schiavo and Richardson cases. By doing so, they have been directing both readers and potential income away from NCG, further negatively impacting NCG.
We hope that we will be able to resume publishing news and commentary at The North Country Gazette very shortly. Thank you. 5-25-08

Oh my God!! She will summarily shit in her size 53 pants! What a coup!
And she has bitched about e-mail addresses having her “name in them”, without elaborating. Maybe Jail4Junie@whatever.com (after all, she was the self-appointed “Chief Jailer” of NYJail4Judges.com to jail the judges she doesn’t like).
June Maxam, that Intellectual Train Wreck, will hate you for this.

CHESTERTOWN, NEW YORK - Well, it looks like something fishy is going on with a topic that has been in the news for quite awhile now: deaths due to Tasers.

CHESTERTOWN, NEW YORK - The tangled web representing Award Winning blogger, drama queen, conspiracy theorist, and internet troll June Maxam’s mental collapse continues on course in her latest online attacks targeting Google, Steven Ertelt of lifenews.com, Bad Cop News, and others. Unable to confine her spew of textual diarrhea to her failing ad infested North Country Gazette blog, Maxam’s taken her dog and pony show on the road seeking greener pastures and a greater audience on successful sites.
Seeking online recognition and a greater audience, blogger June Maxam hit a virtual goldmine when she chose to harass us.
MAXAM’S GOOGLE SPOOFING CONSPIRACY THEORY

Our inbox was filled with email this morning pointing to a forum post and to blogger June Maxam’s North Country Gazette homepage.
Is June Maxam smoking crack, or has her deteriorating mental state taken a sudden turn for the worst? It is obvious that something is having a serious effect on her judgment.
Yesterday June Maxam was attacking Google, today her target has shifted to individuals supposedly attacking Google (no, we don’t know how she knows this, but bet it is yet another conspiracy theory), and her malfunctioning mind has implicated Steven Ertelt and some “cop hate site.” (Note: Bad Cop News is not a hate site. We publicities bad cops - good cops love the site and nearly half of our contributors are current, former, or retired law enforcement officers.)
Obviously, Maxam’s pulled this one out of her butt:
“Ever hear of Google spoofing? The North Country Gazette has uncovered a serious case of Google spoofing as the attacks, some of which constitute criminal activity, continue on NCG amid demands by Steven Ertelt and a cop hate site that certain articles be removed from NCG’s website. An indepth article coming soon, here at www.northcountrygazette.org”
Above and below image from June Maxam’s blog (Used here without permission).
UPDATE: June Maxam is full of shit. We swapped email and a couple of calls with a Google engineer who happened across this post last night. He ran cached and current content from all of our sites, Steven Ertelt’s site, and Maxam’s blog through tests used to identify exploits and security issues. NO evidence of “spoofing” or other exploit attempts was found on any of the sites. BONUS: At our request he alerted the Google News team to the many questionable “news” items originating from Maxam’s blog.
UPDATE: Blogger June Maxam’s completely bogus “Google Spoofing” conspiracy theory quickly disappeared from her blog when it was discredited here.
Her Maxam’s original rant:

Given the reference to her little blog, we are left to assume that Maxam was caught spoofing Google, or that she’s been hacked yet again.
“Google spoofing“, as far as we can tell from materials indexed by Google, is an ineffective method of hiding a really lame website with no worthwhile content, little traffic, and full of advertising and spam behind content that would be likely to rank highly in Google’s search engine and result in more visitors.
Historically this included a program on the server analyzing the user-agent field passed to a web server, the source IP address, the reverse domain name, owner/tech/admin information returned when looking up the domain, or any combination of those in efforts to spot Google’s web crawlers and hand them bogus content.
Maybe this worked in the stone-age - but employing it now will absolutely guarantee that an entire website will immediately disappear from search results returned by Google. We have been unable to determine the twisted thought process June Maxam has employed to relate this to Steven Ertelt (by inspecting www.lifenews.com and the HTML it produces under varying circumstances) or any specific “cop hate site.” (Bad Cop News runs on a virgin WordPress install and unmodified Super Cache, and Post Teaser plugins, does not employ “spoofing,” and we will make the underlying files from any of our websites available by request for inspection.)
June Maxam continues to attack individuals in her little blog teasers, promising the world some upcoming feature article chock full of details and “documentation” - but Maxam never delivers the goods when D-day rolls around. Instead she’s wasting her time leaving comments on third party’s sites, attacking anyone and everyone with whom she is displeased with (See below).
One email suggested we drive down to New York “…for a little one on one baseball bat action with June.” Another offered to “…take down the bitch’s website with a dDOS attack that will get her booted…” from her current hosting company. There’s also a standing offer from a hacker group to plaster nearly 6 month of Maxam’s incoming and outgoing iPowerWeb hosted email messages on on various websites, forums, and in newsgroups.
While we wouldn’t shed a single tear if someone were to beat June Maxam her over the head with a bat, or take out her website, we do not agree with releasing her email and involving innocent third parties.
Over the last couple of weeks, we have formulated a lawful course of action with the help of a site-friendly attorney, which will soon bear fruit.
PLEASE DON’T FEED THE TROLL!

Several emails alerted us to the fact that Maxam has returned to her previous calling as an internet troll, resurfacing on Digg.com as Scoop2 and URL.com as legaleagle flogging her North Country Gazette blog posts, attacking other’s posts, baiting site users, and being an all-round pain in the ass. Maxam’s previous trolling efforts here and elsewhere exposed her as a total moron.
Maxam was completely discredited when busted using multiple aliases (legaleagle - which she now uses on URL.com, junkie, daydreamer, and Get a life) on a Harvard University law blog while pitting her very minimal legal knowledge against lawyers and a site owner who (a real surprise for Maxam) knows how to read the site’s log files.
Maxam’s (aka junkie) last comment before her identity fraud was exposed below was “You can’t go around attacking people like you did with false accusations and then claim that you’re the ones with the credibility.” The site on which June Maxam perpetrated her fraud had previously not had to deal with “uncivil” comments, at least not until Maxam showed up and started acting like a moron.
Dear “junkie”: Are you by any chance the same person as “LegalEagle” and “daydreamer” and “get a life” — the Commentors responsible for virtually all the critical Comments to shlep’s Fair Use postings? I ask that because my webserver identifies the authors of those Comments in this way:
Author : legaleagle (IP: 24.29.89.151 , cpe-24-29-89-151.nycap.res.rr.com)
Author : junkie (IP: 24.29.89.151 , cpe-24-29-89-151.nycap.res.rr.com)
Author: daydreamer (IP: 24.29.89.151 , cpe-24-29-89-151.nycap.res.rr.com)
Author: Get a life (IP: 24.29.89.151 , 24.29.89.151)
[also note: “nycap.res.rr.com” is the Verizon Roadrunner phone service in the Capital Region and North Country of New York State. Indeed, an email from June Maxam to David Giacalone, dated Oct. 25, 2006, using her editor’s email account at North Country Gazette says “Received: from [24.29.89.151]“. That cpe identification number sure does get around.]
Whether or not you are LegalEagle, a quick look at the lenthy, shrill and highly critical Comments left here by that person should convince other readers that no censorship of Comments opposing myself is going on, despite my clear right to do so. I have not removed any comments that were already posted. I have, however, refused to print some Comments (or portions of them) that I believed were ad hominem attacks on Ms. Maxam. Also, having told LegalEagle above that I might not accept further Comments from “her”, if they did not include useful information, I did not approve a Comment by LegalEagle yesterday that said, in total, “It’s about time you shut your mouth.” (LegalEagle’s Comment coincidentally came in yesterday just a couple minutes after this website had a hit from the northcountrygazette.org domain.)
On the substantive parts of your Comment, please note: (1) there has been only one erroneous statement by me about NCG, and I immediately corrected that statement when I learned I was incorrect, making my correction on the Main Page of this weblog and informing other webloggers, although the claim had been made only in Comments, where it had very few viewers. (2) The “firestorm” is not about my erroneous factual claim (which came after the main wave of interest around the internet, and after Ms. Maxam accused me of defamation and harassment); it is about the incontrovertible position that NCG is using a copyright warning, “Fair Use is not applicable,” which is incorrect as a matter of law.
It has been difficult for me to know how to deal with the uncivil comments left at this weblog. We have not had such Comments before, as our audience up until this week has been coming here to find out information on self-help law. It was a total surprise to me that the Fair Use topic reached an audience outside of “blawgers,” librarians, and pro se practitioners, or the occasional visitor seeking self-help law guidance. [Appears here]
**** INSANITY ****

June Maxam has recently entered some really bizarre and deranged comments, and has gone as far as attacking others under the delusion that they are somehow connected to Bad Cop News. Her efforts are bad enough that we were compelled to add a disclaimer to the comment sections containing Maxam’s rants indicating third-party’s are not associated with Bad Cop News.
Maxam is attacking individuals, trying to start online pissing contests, thinking they are Bad Cop News.
Knowing a lot more about June Maxam than we want to (more than she could even imagine) we realize that her path through life has been from one failure to another, and that whatever sanity currently remains amid her progressing mental collapse is minimal.
Others who happen across Maxam’s comments and posts don’t understand, seeing only a crazed, rabid user attacking everyone in sight.
When Bad Cop News was recently blocked by Road Runner/Time Warner from their subscribers the southwest USA, it made the San Diego Union Tribune. The only newspaper reference to June Maxam we can find is the two times she went to jail… Here’s June Maxam’s latest rant under her infamous “Scoop2″ nickname on Digg.com, we’ll leave it up to the reader to determine who the “nutcase” and “whackjob” is:
“A subpoena to digg should reveal who 5coop2 is. Badcopnews loves to engaged in misappropriations of names, identity theft, masquerade under the names and screen names of other people. Badcopnews calls everyone else nutcases, whackjobs, etc—he/she/it should take a real hard look in the mirror. Good for Road Runner—the anonymous coward at BadcopNews who thinks he can’t be identifed bragged about shutting off visitors to the North Country Gazette website—now he’s whining that Road Runner did it to him. Yeaaaaaaa Road Runner, his hate site should be prosecuted as a hate crime. The one who is about to be exposed is the “wizard” at BadCopNews and his buddy, Steven Ertelt.”
Note: A third party chosen to forward a telecom network’s North Country Gazette traffic to Bad Cop News. It was was not done at our request or direction, and there obviously isn’t much traffic.
While real bloggers and/or journalists seek visitors and readers for their material, June Maxam was recently exposed by Bad Cop News as spending her days reading her site’s log files and banning her blog readers. At that point the list included about 450 IP addresses, many of which are proxy servers that provide access to possibly many thousands of potential readers, and, according to our tests, it has grown in leaps and bounds. Bad Cop News had previously exposed Maxam for banning her readers, as a liar and for reporting one of her readers to the FBI when he couldn’t get to her blog.
We also highlighted the fact that Maxam was trashing her then current hosting company (sorta like shooting one’s self in the foot and certain to result in downtime), and when someone handed Maxam her ass back to her in a box when she attempted a boycott of that same host.
**** NOT NEWS ****

As a consequence of Google not fully vetting June Maxam’s blog, her attacks on her former hosting company, another hosting company, Steven Ertelt of www.lifenews.com, Google, Bad Cop News, and others are being wrongly classified as “news.” Recently they have started to disappear one by one from Google News.
June Maxam’s latest delusions of persecution lead her to target Google, Mr. Ertelt, and others, crying “censorship” when someone at Google News started ditching Maxam’s non-news attack posts. Maxam’s limited legal knowledge resulted in her useless quoting of the 1st Amendment in a context where even she should know it does not apply.
JUNE MAXAM AND JACK MEHOFF

On the lighter side, several of June Maxam’s online comments are really hilarious, resulting in MANY emails to Bad Cop News, and have left her again looking like a total moron. She’s come up with some names, made up ones from years ago under a previous BCN site owner, and associated them with the current Bad Cop News.
June Maxam (As Scoop2) thinks “Jack MeHoff” is a real person (”Frankly, if someone like Jack Mehoff” and “Mehoff under mustbme“) - and somehow connected with Bad Cop News! Everyone who speaks english, except Maxam, can figure that one out: “Jack Me Off.” If she keeps digging she’ll hopefully add to her already substantial online embarrassment when she stumbles across “Ben Dover” and “Eileen Dover“.
We think June Maxam (Called by locals The Queen of Foster Flats Road) and her imaginary adversary “Jack MeHoff” would make the perfect couple :)
(More to come, as a few of us are going to chase down some links and add to this as time allows.)
Bad Cop News - Copy or post freely.
Disclaimers: Bad Cop News has been a victim of Maxam’s continuing attacks and therefore is not without bias. Bad Cop News is “badcopnews” on digg.com, url.com, and elsewhere. No individual or group of individuals connected with Bad Cop News has commented using other nicknames while representing this site on any other site without personally identifying themselves.

CHESTERTOWN, NEW YORK - We’ve exposed blogger June Maxam of the North Country Gazette as a conspiracy theorist and liar, so it wasn’t unexpected when informed yesterday that Bad Cop News is again targeted amid Maxam’s tangled web of mental collapse. Adding to the current mix, Maxam has included a handful of her sworn enemies, Warren County law enforcement, www.lifenews.com journalist, and iPowerWeb, Inc. hosting, in the latest example of her progressing departure from reality.
Maxam’s latest conspiracy theory goes far beyond her previous attempts at defamation, libel, slander, ignorance, and textual diarrhea - and reads like a trashy paperback spy novel. Maxam describes the “malicious involvement of Steven Ertelt, Bad Cop News and several others including a member of the Warren County Sheriff’s Department” in something she probably hasn’t dreamed up yet. Whatever this latest fantasy is, she’s keeping it a secret and only revealing it to her innermost circle of so-called paid subscribers…

“It’s hilarious, but at the same time pretty sad that this woman rattles her saber and hurls legal threats like rice at a wedding. In my opinion she’s a social outcast who has nothing better to do than become emotionally involved and argue with people she doesn’t know.”

Dear Internet Troll,

CHESTERTOWN, NEW YORK - On Thursday, Nov. 10, the father of North Country Gazette publisher June Maxam suffered a massive stroke. He is a patient at Eden Park Nursing Home in Glens Falls. He has not been hospitalized. The nursing home claims he cannot swallow and that they are “maintaining his dignity”. The current plan is to place him in a hospice, withhold all nutrition and hydration and wait for him to die.
Below is a letter written Thursday night to the nursing home administrator who refused to admit the man to the nursing home until and unless the publisher had no role in his health care decisions. Persons wishing to tell the nursing home of their views on altering health care proxies and death by dehydration may call the Eden Park Health Care Center in Glens Falls at 518-793-5163 or send a fax to 518-793-5165.

Dear Ms. Maxam:
I have received your letter of June 20 in which you sought an opinion concerning the Freedom of Information Law.
According to your letter, having made a request to inspect certain records, rather than being shown the kinds of records that were made available in response to prior similar requests, you were given computer printouts, some of which contained minimal information, and the agency has sought to charge one dollar per page. Since you did not request copies and because you believe the fee to be excessive, you did not pay. However, in response to an ensuing request, you were informed that it would not be granted until you made payment on the preceding request.
