Berman University of Pennsylvania Law School May 30, 2010 THE OXFORD HANDBOOK ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE CRIMINAL LAW, Oxford University Press, 2009 U of Texas Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 152 Abstract:      Blackmail - the wrongful conditional threat to do what would be permissible - presents one of the great puzzles of the criminal law, and perhaps all of law, for it forces us to explain how it can be impermissible to threaten what it would be permissible to do. This essay, a contribution to forthcoming collection of papers on the philosophy of the criminal law, seeks to resolve the puzzle by building on, and refining, an account of blackmail that I first proposed over a decade ago, what I termed the evidentiary theory of blackmail. In.
First of all, pls excuse my english.So here it goes, kinda long, but if you are a student hoping to use the service, I encourage you to read this.Up until last week i WAS still a student. I uses writing service alot of the time, usually sticking to 1 or 2 writers only, but there are subjects which the writer felt they are not capable to do so I had to search for other writers.By posting my request on another livechat alot of writers approached me, usually what i do is ask a few questions and narrow down the writers which i think i might work with.I guess with my time zone , most of these writers turned out to be kenya based, and i was stupid enough not to ask in the first place.Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, i received a blackmail email from an email address which i have never seen before. There was an attachment of the assignment brief i provided to some new writers, as well as an email from this blackmailer to my school. I swear i have been so careful not to leak out my school information. But i guess i was not careful enough.Basically the email is to ask for money and this person is from kenya. I panic and paid up to him, stupid i know.After a day, this person provided another email from my school claiming they are willing to provide a generous sum of money of they were to expose me. Once again i was stupid and added more money. The nightmare doesnt end here. This blackmailer will send me msg 24/7 claiming they were threaten and i have told other people of his blackmail, and he will have no choice but to report me in. I swear, those days were the worst ever, i was in sl much fear, i hardly ate nor sleep, just constantly looking at my phone. He also made up emails i send to him, so stupid. Because i kept all email i send to each writers.After discussion with my family, they decided it was best to withdraw from my course and to report in this blackmailer anyway we can. I.
Is China blackmailing the Fed not to hike US interest rates by threatening to devalue its currency, the Yuan? It just might be. It would certainly be a powerful threat. The US will buy nearly 0 billion worth of goods from China this year. A Yuan devaluation would make those imports from China cheaper which would push down the US price level and frustrate the Fed’s efforts to achieve its 2% inflation target. It could cause outright deflation in the United States. China is in a very difficult position. For decades, the country has achieved exceptionally rapid economic growth. Now, however, its growth model of export-led and investment-driven growth has reached the end of the line. The global economy is too weak to allow China’s trading partners to continue buying more and more goods from China every year. Weak global demand is exacerbating China’s crisis of excess industrial capacity at home. After decades of very rapid investment growth, China now has excess industrial capacity across every industry on a massive scale. Producer prices have fallen 43 consecutive months as oversupply continues to flood into glutted markets. Falling product prices are pushing a growing number of Chinese corporations toward bankruptcy. Non-performing loans within the banking sector are rising rapidly, increasing the possibility of a new systemic crisis within the financial sector. Additional investment would only make all these problems worse. Therefore, China has no choice but to invest less. Now that China has begun to invest less, it requires fewer raw materials. Consequently, it is importing fewer commodities. That explains the collapse in global commodity prices over the past year. So now, China is not only buying less from the rest of the world, but it is also paying much less for what it does buy. Therefore, Chinese imports have fallen at a double-digit annual rate all year. All.
Blackmail       The story is about a house detective blackmailing the Duke and Duchess who were involved in a hit-and-run accident.       Ogilvie, the chief house officer, was an obese man with a gross jowled face and piggy eyes. This house detective was a utilitarian man. He had many friends who would like to tell him many secret things about the people living in the hotel, for he used to oblige them. During the days in the town this man had known numerous privacies and paved his way to seek any opportunity to blackmail a big shot, just as the case did, that he, out of his curiosity, noticed the Croydons’ unusual expression when they came in the hotel. As soon as he heard the word about the hit-and-run, he associated it with the Croydons immediately by combining the things he had heard from his friends about the Duke with the unusual performances at that night. It could not be denied that Detective Ogilvie was circumspective enough to find some evidences to prove his guesswork. He was also proficient at counter reconnaissance and when he threatened the Croydons, he was full of confidence to persuade them to seal his mouth with money. But he was so greedy that when the Duchess proposed a project that she would pay him 2500 dollars which was 2.5 times of the amount he asked before if he promised to help them destroy the criminal evidence, he ignored the risk and then agreed. Meanwhile the fair-weather man changed his attitude to the Croydons from arrogance to tameness.       As for the Duchess, she was as nervous as her husband after she knew the house detective came, for she and her husband were just in the hit-and-run. She was so arrogant that at the first sight of the detective, she disliked him. And at the primary conversation, she behaved in an impatient and rude manner. With the talk going deeper, she realized that the detective might know something about that.

Blackmail-blogging, essay 1 of 6 blog entries Once Upon a Time on the Set of Blackmail Introduction:  The Setup The thought of young Alfred Hitchcock as a bright and eager assistant on the set of The White Shadow (1924) reminded me of another precocious kid who haunted film sets.  Just four years after The White Shadow, Alfred Hitchcock played the role of the respected director and Michael Powell (later to direct Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes, Peeping Tom, and other classics) was the kid with his eye on the director’s chair.  Here’s how Powell described the scene in a 1987 interview with Raymond Durgnat: “ Hitchcock heaved himself out of his chair, which was a very difficult operation because he’d just fitted into it, and he said, ‘Mr. Powell?’  ‘Yes, Mr. Hitchcock?’  ‘Mr. Cox and I usually have a few beers after the shooting. Would you join us?’  And we were friends ever afterward. [laughter]” At this very early point in his film career, Michael Powell was employed as the still photographer on the set and the movie was Champagne (1928). Afterwards, Powell continued to work with Hitchcock on The Manxman (1929) and then Blackmail (1929). I like to imagine that Powell continued to join Hitchcock for beer after a full day of shooting.
