Criswell Predicts 1966! (Tonight Showwith Johnny Carson)
||| || «
( ||| || ). | |||| ||
the date is 1965 (New Year's Eve, 1966), as Criswell's appearance consumed the final 15-minutes of New Year's Eve before 1966 rang in.
The whole episode sounds amazing, the other guests included Woody Allen and the Muppets, both soon to become major figures in pop culture.
As for Criswel, he milked this shtick for all it was worth for decades, but his appearances in films by Edward D. Wood Jr. (a close friend and drinking buddy) would ultimately cement his legend.
Here is a clip of Criswell predicting the future on the Johnny Carson show.
Criswell Predicts 1966 IS BACK!
One of my favorite characters has to be Jeron Criswell King, a pop psychic who was active in the 1960s and '70s.
Most of you probably know that he was in schlock director Ed Wood's stable of "actors," and appeared in many of his disastrous films.

The Amazing Criswell, Tonight Show, Johnny Carson, Edward D. Wood Jr, Ed Wood, Bride of the Monster, Plan 9 from outer space, Glen or Glenda
The simple truth of it is . . . that Criswell was inimitable! None that came before or after were anything like him.
Criswell was possessed of a most likeable personality of singular, potent style but having little substance predictionally, although he did score a few nice 'dings' on occasion.
It was that there was just something about his delivery and presence that fascinated.
When young I used to watch him on 'live T.V.' and was suitably entranced, never bothering to find out if any predictions came true, as just watching him operate was enough to satisfy.
He appeared with Carson a number of times., and I think maybe even with Parr? Those appearances should be found and made available to the YouTube family of Criswellian Loyalists.
One day in the summer in Hollywood way-back-when, I saw him watering his Selma house lawn. This place consisted of two parts, each having in large letters painted on their sides: "Criswell Predicts - Unit 1 - Unit 2" !?! We waved and he waved back. I was too star-struck to do anything more. Then it was on to Johnny's Steak House for a cheap but good one. At that time I'd no idea that he'd done all that work with Ed Wood and Bela only a few years before.
Without any doubt, in terms of relative entertainment power in their respective areas, he was The Liberace of Predictions just as Lee was The Criswell of the Piano.
Criswell looks like Jeffrey Jones, the actor who was in many Tim Burton movies until he got in trouble for the last major sin you can commit in Hollywood that gets you an absolute ban -- and no, that isn't getting drunk and making anti-Semitic and other racist comments!
Seriously, the resemblance is close.
I can't believe that a smart entertainment like johnny Carson who would invite a fakester like him.I even read one of his stupid books at the school library in 72.I almost believed in his predictions them.As you know years later Johnny would make fun of him in a skit.It was good to see the late Ed Mcman in his dark hair as well as johnny.When i saw the tonight show the first time in 64,Bill Dana was taking Johnnies place for the moment.Today the show stinks! It's no longer a variety show which introduces new talent.No more Doc Severn type performers.Lower Budget.I avoid watching the show

All aboard the 'Lolita Express': Flight logs reveal trips
Bill Clinton and Alan Dershowitz took on pedophileJeffrey Epstein's
private jet with anonymous women
Palm Beach multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein is
a free man, despite sexually abusing dozens of underage girls according
to police and prosecutors. His victims have never had a voice, until
now.
Virginia Roberts was working at Mar-a-Lago
when she was recruited to be a masseuse to Palm Beach hedge fund manager
Jeffrey Epstein. She was lured into a life of depravity and sexual
abuse.

The girls who were abused by Jeffrey Epstein
and the cops who championed their cause remain angry over what they
regard as a gross injustice, while Epstein's employees and those who
engineered his non-prosecution agreement have prospered.

For years, Jeffrey Epstein abused teen girls, police say. A timeline of his case
March: A 14-year-old girl and her
parents report that Jeffrey Epstein molested her at a mansion in Palm
Beach. She said a female acquaintance and classmate at Royal Palm Beach
High School had taken her to the house to give him a massage in exchange
for money.
Jeffrey
Epstein repeatedly engaged in sexual activity with underage girls at
his waterfront Palm Beach home on El Brillo Way, according to police in
the Town of Palm Beach. Epstein also owns residences in New York City
and the U.S. Virgin Islands, among other locales.
Emily Michot emichot@miamiherald.com
April: Palm Beach
police begin trash pulls at Epstein’s home, discovering a telephone
message for Epstein with the girl’s name on it, and a time that matched
the time that she told police she was there. They find the names and
phone numbers of other girls on message slips in his trash.
October: With the
police probe in full swing, one of Epstein’s assistants calls one of the
girls just as she is being questioned by police. Investigators begin
interviewing more girls, as well as Epstein’s butlers, who tell them
that Epstein had frequent visits from girls throughout the day. On Oct.
20, they execute a search warrant at his house on El Brillo Way in Palm
Beach.
2006
May: Police sign a
probable cause affidavit charging Epstein and two of his assistants with
multiple counts of unlawful sex acts with a minor. The Palm Beach state
attorney, Barry Krischer, instead refers the case to a grand jury.
Town of Palm Beach police were unhappy with the handling of the Epstein case by then-State Attorney Barry Krischer.
June: The grand jury, after hearing from
only one girl, returns an indictment of one count of solicitation of
prostitution. The charge does not reflect that the victim in question
and others were minors.
July: Epstein’s
powerhouse legal team tries to negotiate a deal with the State
Attorney’s Office. Lawyers discuss a deferred prosecution in which
Epstein would enter a pretrial intervention program and serve no jail
time.
July: After pressure
from the Palm Beach police chief, the FBI opens a federal investigation,
dubbed “Operation Leap Year.’’ Documents list the possible crime as
“child prostitution.’’
November: The FBI begins interviewing potential witnesses and victims from Florida, New York and New Mexico.
2007
May: As the U.S.
Attorney’s Office prepares to present the case to a federal grand jury,
Epstein’s attorneys request a meeting to discuss the investigation.
June: A 53-page
indictment is prepared by the U.S. Attorney’s Office as, simultaneously,
plea negotiations are initiated with Epstein’s legal team.
July: Grand jury
subpoenas are issued for Epstein’s computers, which were apparently
removed from his Palm Beach home prior to the police search.
August: The U.S.
attorney in Miami, Alexander Acosta, enters into direct discussions
about the plea agreement; a motion to compel production of Epstein’s
computers is delayed.
September: Federal
prosecutors draw up several federal plea agreements that are rejected by
Epstein and his attorneys. Epstein signs a non-prosecution agreement on
Sept. 24, but his attorneys continue to delay his court appearance.
Alexander
Acosta has been criticized for his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case
as U.S. attorney. He later became the dean of Florida International
University’s law school and, later still, President Trump’s secretary of
labor.
Miami Herald file photo
October: With the
non-prosecution agreement still being debated, Acosta meets with Epstein
lawyer Jay Lefkowitz at the West Palm Beach Marriott on Okeechobee Road
to discuss finalizing a deal. Among the terms agreed upon: that the
victims would not be notified, that the deal would be kept under seal
and all grand jury subpoenas would be canceled.
The
Marriott hotel in West Palm Beach, at 1001 Okeechobee Blvd., is where
U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta met with Jeffrey Epstein’s attorney to
work out a plea arrangement.
November: Epstein’s lawyers object to an
addendum to the agreement. The provision called for a special master to
appoint an attorney to represent Epstein victims’ rights to civil
compensation.
December: The two sides
continue to debate the addendum. Epstein attorney Kenneth Starr asks
for a review of the agreement by the U.S. Department of Justice in
Washington, further delaying its execution. Victims are told the
investigation is continuing.
2008
January: Epstein
attorney, Lefkowitz, calls Acosta, telling him his client will not go
through with the agreement because it requires him to register as a sex
offender.
February: With the plea
negotiations and the Justice Department review still in limbo, the FBI
continues its probe, locating more witnesses and evidence.
March: Preparations are
made for a new federal grand jury presentation. In court documents, the
U.S. Attorney’s Office notes that Epstein’s victims are being harassed
by his lawyers, who are not specifically named.
May: The Justice Department issues finding that, if a plea deal is not reached, Epstein can be federally prosecuted.

June: Epstein’s lawyers revisit plea
negotiations, and on June 30, Epstein appears in a Palm Beach County
courtroom. He pleads guilty to state charges: one count of solicitation
of prostitution and one count of solicitation of prostitution with a
minor under the age of 18. He is sentenced to 18 months in jail,
followed by a year of community control or house arrest. He is
adjudicated as a convicted sex offender who must register twice a year
in Florida.
July: Epstein’s victims
learn about his plea in state court after the fact. They file an
emergency petition to force federal prosecutors to comply with the
federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act, which mandates certain rights for
crime victims, including the right to be informed about plea agreements
and the right to appear at sentencing.
August: Epstein’s
victims learn that he has already been sent to jail, and that the
federal investigation is over. They seek to have his plea agreement
unsealed, but federal prosecutors argue against releasing the agreement,
commencing a yearlong court battle to learn the terms of Epstein’s plea
bargain.
October: Epstein begins
work release from the county stockade. He is picked up by his private
driver six days a week and transported to an office in West Palm Beach,
where he accepts visitors for up to 12 hours a day. He returns to the
stockade in the evenings to sleep.

2009
July: Epstein is
released from the Palm Beach County stockade, five months early. He must
register as a sex offender and is on probation for a year, confined to
his Palm Beach home except to travel to his office in West Palm Beach.
However, records show he frequently makes trips to Manhattan and to his
home in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
August: Palm Beach
Police Capt. George Frick finds Epstein walking along A1A in the middle
of the afternoon, when he was supposed to be at work in his office in
downtown West Palm Beach. Epstein says he is walking to work, even
though the location where he is found is not a direct route to his
office. His probation officer says Epstein has permission to get some
exercise.
September: The federal
non-prosecution agreement is made public. By September, at least a dozen
civil lawsuits have been filed by women who allege they were molested
by Epstein when they were underage. Epstein begins the process of
settling them out of court.
Jeffrey
Epstein never went to federal prison but his butler/houseman, Alfredo
Rodriguez, did, for obstruction of justice. He was busted for hiding
Epstein’s journal and trying to sell it. He has since died.
November: One of Epstein’s former butlers
tries to sell to an undercover FBI agent a black book filled with the
names of hundreds of girls and young women that Epstein allegedly
procured for sex and massages. The butler tells FBI agents he witnessed
nude underage girls at Epstein’s pool and had known that the millionaire
was having sex with them. He also said he saw pornography involving
underage girls on Epstein’s computers. The butler/houseman, Alfredo
Rodriguez, is later charged with obstruction of justice and sentenced to
federal prison. He dies in 2015. The contents of the black book become
public as part of several civil lawsuits.
2010
April: Flight logs
obtained as part of civil lawsuits against Epstein show an assortment of
politicians, academics, celebrities, heads of state and world leaders
flying on Epstein’s jets in the early 2000s. Among them: former
President Bill Clinton, former national security adviser Sandy Berger,
former Colombian President Andrés Pastrana and lawyer Alan Dershowitz.
2011
March: Two of Epstein’s
victims file a motion in federal court accusing the government of
violating their rights by failing to notify them about the plea deal and
keeping it secret. Among other things, they want the plea deal
invalidated in the hopes of sending Epstein to prison. They accuse
federal prosecutors of deceiving them with “false notification
letters.’’
September: U.S.
District Judge Kenneth Marra rejects the U.S. Attorney’s Office argument
that it was under no obligation to notify victims prior to striking a
non-prosecution agreement with Epstein because there were no federal
charges filed against him. The decision marks a victory for Epstein’s
victims, but the case will drag on for seven more years.
November: Epstein must
register in New York as the highest and most dangerous level of sex
offender, despite efforts by him and the New York District Attorney’s
office to lower the classification. A Level 3 status means “high risk of repeat offense and a threat to public safety exists,” according to the state’s guidelines.
2012
March-December: Calling
himself a “celebrated philanthropist’’ and a “renowned educational
investor,’’ Epstein undertakes a public relations campaign to counter
bad press about his sexual exploits. His foundation donates millions to
scientific research and sponsors global conferences on ways to achieve
world peace and save the planet. He funds cancer and educational
research projects around the country.

January: Virginia
Roberts files court papers in Florida claiming that she was forced by
Epstein to have sex with Prince Andrew and lawyer Alan Dershowitz when
she was underage. In a sworn affidavit, she provides photographs of her
with the prince and with Epstein’s close associate, British socialite
Ghislaine Maxwell. She claims Maxwell worked as Epstein’s madam, which
she denies. Dershowitz and the prince deny her claims as well, setting
off a series of legal actions between Dershowitz and Roberts’ attorneys
that are later resolved in an out-of-court settlement.
April: A federal judge
rules that Roberts cannot join the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act
lawsuit and that her affidavit — accusing Prince Andrew and Dershowitz
of having sex with her when she was underage — be stricken from the
case. Dershowitz said the ruling meant he was vindicated. However, the
judge does not address the veracity of Roberts’ claims, writing: “The
factual details regarding with whom and where the Jane Does engaged in
sexual activities are immaterial and impertinent to this central
claim.’’
September: Roberts sues
Maxwell in federal court in New York, claiming that Epstein’s alleged
madam defamed her in public statements in the media. The lawsuit is
widely viewed as a vessel for Epstein’s victims to expose the scope of
Epstein’s crimes. Several civil lawsuits filed the same year allege that
Epstein and Maxwell operated an international sex trafficking
operation.

Epstein. Her life had already been marred by sexual abuse even before
she met the multimillionaire.

2016
June: A lawsuit is
filed in Manhattan by a woman who once used the name Katie Johnson,
claiming that she was raped by then-presidential candidate Donald Trump
at a party at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion in 1994 when she was 13 years
old. Trump and Epstein both categorically deny it ever happened.
‘How
in the world, do you, the U.S. attorney, engage in a negotiation with a
criminal defendant, basically allowing that criminal defendant to write
up the agreement?’ said Bradley Edwards, shown here, who is
representing some of the victims of serial sex abuser and Palm Beach
multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
Emily Michot emichot@miamiherald.com
November: Johnson backs
out of a press conference just days before Election Day, saying she had
been threatened and was fearful. She later drops the lawsuit.
2017
February: President
Trump nominates former Miami federal prosecutor Acosta as U.S. secretary
of labor. Acosta is compelled at his confirmation hearing to briefly
address questions about the deal he approved for Epstein. One lawmaker
requests more records from the Epstein case. Acosta is confirmed.
June: Roberts settles her lawsuit with Maxwell for an undisclosed sum.
2018
December: Civil trial
is scheduled in Palm Beach County Court on Bradley Edwards’ allegations
that Epstein sued him to punish him for representing several of his
victims. The malicious-prosecution lawsuit is set to begin Dec. 4.
Epstein has indicated he will not appear in court for trial.

Dershowitz’s finest moment, however, has to be his legal defense of
Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire financier who was investigated by the
FBI for trafficking underage prostitutes in his mansion and on his
private jet, dubbed the “Lolita Express.”At least 40 women, some of
them as young as 12, alleged that Epstein knowingly solicited sex from
minors and lent his underage harem to a host of high-profile perverts.
Prior to his mid-2000s downfall, Epstein had ties to big names like Bill
Clinton, whose name appears 11 times in Epstein’s flight logs; Kevin
Spacey, now a disgraced pedophile in his own right; and Trump, who told New York
in 2002 that “[Epstein is] a lot of fun to be with. It is even said
that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on
the younger side.” Dershowitz jumped to Epstein’s defense during the
initial federal investigation in 2005 and 2006. According to a contemporaneous account in New York,
Dershowitz sought to sully the reputations of the underage accusers: he
“provided the police and the state attorney’s office with a dossier on a
couple of the victims gleaned from their MySpace sites — showing
alcohol and drug use and lewd comments.” With the help of Dershowitz,
Epstein was able to negotiate the federal government down to a single
charge of soliciting prostitution, to which he pled guilty and served a
total of 13 months in prison. Epstein was released in 2011.
Despite
Dershowitz’s best efforts, the Epstein scandal resurfaced. In 2014, a
lawsuit was filed in Florida by Virginia Roberts alleging that Epstein
had recruited her from her prior employer — Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
resort, where she worked as a towel girl at the age of 15 — and
trafficked her as a sex slave to Prince Andrew and Dershowitz himself,
both of whom appeared many times in Epstein’s flight logs between 1997
and 2005. The purpose of this lawsuit was to have Epstein’s 2008 plea
agreement thrown out. Prince Andrew and Dershowitz both vociferously
denied the allegations. Andrew, who had been photographed with Roberts during the period in question and openly partied with Epstein
to celebrate the Level 3 Sex Offender’s 2011 release from prison,
denied through his spokesperson that the two "had any form of sexual
contact or relationship.” No explanation was offered for why a
17-year-old girl of no familial relation to any of these men was present
in their social circle. Dershowitz maintained on the Today Show that he “was never in the presence of a single underage woman” and “never saw [Epstein] doing anything improper.”
Dershowitz
countersued and referred to Roberts’ lawyers as “villains,” accusing
the court of treating him unfairly by accusing him of sex crimes in a
lawsuit in which he was not a party. In 2015, Dershowitz had the
accusations stricken from the record, and in 2016 both parties dropped their suits
after a settlement that included an undisclosed financial arrangement.
During this ordeal, Dershowitz emphatically denied having been close
with Epstein, telling The American Lawyer in 2015 that their
relationship was “entirely professional” and mainly centered on
encouraging Epstein’s multi-million dollar donations to Harvard. This
contrasted with Dershowitz’s past comments about Epstein, like when he
told Vanity Fair
in a 2003 Epstein profile that “I'm on my 20th book... The only person
outside my immediate family that I send drafts to is Jeffrey.” From that
same interview with The American Lawyer: “People know that I
won't argue a case or give a speech unless my wife travels with me. This
is not the profile of someone who screws around.” This seems to
contradict the flight logs, which show Dershowitz traveling without his wife every time his name appears.
Whoops!
Flight logs for Jeffrey Epstein's private plane dubbed the 'Lolita Express' were published for the first time on Thursday
They
show that former President Bill Clinton boarded the plane with women
believed to have been involved in creating underage sex slave ring
Alleged
victim Virginia Roberts says she was recruited as a slave when she was
15, and that she was forced to have sex with both Prince Andrew and
Harvard law profession Alan Dershowitz
The latter, she says, molested her mid-flight on the private jet
Both the Duke of York and Dershowitz have fiercely denied their involvement in the ring
just released flight records show Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz has been flying with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on the financier's private jet dubbed the 'Lolita Express' since as early as 1997, despite public statements that they were only acquaintances.
The high-profile lawyer has been distancing himself from Epstein ever since a young woman named Virginia Roberts filed a lawsuit claiming she was recruited to work as a 'sex slave' for Epstein when she was just 15, naming both Dershowitz and Prince Andrew as two of her molesters.
The flight records, obtained by Gawker, also show former President Bill Clinton rode on Epstein's jet at least 11 times, and often with two of Epstein's female associates believed to have provided the dozens of underage girls to their boss and his well-connected friends.
CNN allowed Dershowitz to whine on the air about being snubbed at Martha’s Vineyard as recently as July 7.
Having
had a decade-long friendship with a serial child molester who was
publicly known to like his women “on the younger side” — and then
working to ensure that he got off with a slap on the wrist once the
allegations were made public — was apparently not enough to soil
Dershowitz’s reputation. Neither was his decision to join Harvey Weinstein’s defense team
in April, an association that should, at the very least, make it
impossible to appear on cable news. But because Dershowitz is somehow
still considered a selfless crusader for justice, whose predilection for
defending high-profile rapists and pedophiles (the personal lives of
whom mysteriously overlap with his own) is purely coincidental, none of
this seems to matter. Tucker Carlson, who lambasted Democrats for taking donations from Weinstein and said in 2017
that lawyer Lisa Bloom — who temporarily defended Weinstein in the
early stages of the scandal — “took the side of the predator over the
prey, likely because the price was right," continues to give Dershowitz
endless fawning interviews about Trump’s innocence and Martha’s Vineyard
without so much as mentioning the disgraced movie producer. CNN, which
covered the Weinstein allegations in great detail, allowed Dershowitz to
whine on the air about being snubbed at Martha’s Vineyard as recently
as July 7. His recent activities outside the dinner-party circuit were
left unmentioned here, just as they were on Carlson. For the
cable-news set, Dershowitz isn’t “Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer,” as anyone
else on Weinstein’s legal team would surely be described on the CNN
chyron, or a lifelong ally of violent misogynists and child rapists. He
is a lovable contrarian scamp whose complaints about his social life are
a pleasant diversion from more serious news. In
a just world, Dershowitz would be snubbed not only in Martha’s
Vineyard, but everywhere he goes. His associations, not just with Trump
and Fox News, but with Epstein, Weinstein, and the rest of his celebrity
clients, should be more than enough to blackball him from every news
network, Harvard, and any future legal team, given that hiring him is a
virtual admission of guilt. Even if he had never jumped to Trump’s
defense in the Mueller investigation, he would still be a jowly,
liver-spotted bag of bones who has devoted his career to ensuring that
the ultra-rich are not held accountable for their crimes. Now that he
has added Trumpism to his vast array of nauseating qualities, it is
utterly unfathomable that anyone not personally invested in seeing Trump
exculpated in the Mueller investigation is even willing to consider a
position on Alan Dershowitz, the world’s shittiest man, other than that
he should never be heard from, anywhere, ever again.
