THE ICONIC MIAMI HERALD BUILDING IN RUINS AFTER DECLINING PUBLIC TRUST IN WEAK INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM DUE TO STAFF AND BUDGET CUTS.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The newspaper, in its 300-year-long history, was the primary source for news and events. American society depended on newspapers to let them know what was happening and how to prepare for things to come. Since the advent of the Internet, a number of major metropolitan dailies have been shuttered or drastically pruned. This massive decline in Newspaper circulation has led to a Rebirth of Journalism. The way news is transmitted, shared and read have all been transformed.<\/p>\n

What Victor-Hugo Vaca II has manifested, for public consumption, is modern-art-gonzo- journalism. By fusing the style of Salvador Dali\u2019s cryptic artwork, containing hidden messages and clues, with Hunter S. Thompson\u2019s gonzo journalism, he has created a diary of the world on canvas, to tell the untold story of an, alleged, serial-killer spinal-surgeon using money, lawyers and influence to perpetuate his, alleged scheme, of becoming the most prolific serial-killer in history and to warn masses of a small group of home-grown terrorists, disguised as lawyers, judges and lobbyists, who have infiltrated the U.S. Justice system, Congress, Senate and The White House, to undermine the Constitution, in order to actualize the death of democracy and herald a New World Order.<\/p>\n

\"MIAMI<\/a><\/p>\n

THE INFAMOUS MIAMI HERALD VICTOR- HUGO VACA II U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY ARTICLE THAT EXPOSED WEAK INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM OVERLOOKING THE DANGERS OF ENABLING TOXIC LEADERSHIP AND ITS FUTURE IMPACT ON SOCIETY.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On May 24, 1990, The Miami Herald published a story by staff writer, Mike Wilson, titled, \u201cDIARY OF A YEAR IN HELL: The Navy called it \u2018plebe year\u2019. Midshipman Fourth-Class Victor Vaca called it harassment.\u201d Besides getting his name wrong in the headline, his birth certificate reads, \u201cVictor-Hugo Vaca Jr.\u201d, The Miami Herald whitewashed the front-page world news story by understating the dangerous impact of breeding toxic leadership at the world famous United States Naval Academy, by training young officers to torture suspects and sexually assault female officers in an elite, powerful, clandestine community. It is no wonder that, recent news headlines indicate, U.S. military leadership problems persist, at the U.S. Naval Academy and other tactical training institutions.<\/p>\n

SEE SOMETHING; SAY SOMETHING:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Victor-Hugo Vaca II felt it was his patriotic duty, to expose the horrors he witnessed, as a United States Naval Academy Midshipman. He saw leadership training, that eventually led to Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse, as acceptable practice by U.S. military command and he knew that what he had witnessed, was not proper instruction for future commanders of the free world.<\/p>\n

Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II was a whistleblower, trying to warn mankind, of the dangerous butterfly-effect, abuse of power would have on the future that now exists, in the age of Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton, where lies are acceptable as truth and honor has all but disappeared, but The Miami Herald chose to present the story as a personal account of hazing instead of focusing on the big picture.<\/p>\n

\"VICTOR-HUGO<\/a><\/p>\n

SUNDAY MAY 27, 1990 VOL. 90 NO. 21 THE BALTIMORE SUN FRONT PAGE ARTICLE FEATURING USNA MIDSHIPMAN OFFICER VICTOR-HUGO VACA II. \u00a0(REPRINTED FROM MIKE WILSON AP NEWS WIRE MIAMI HERALD KNIGHT RIDDER\u00a0ARTICLE.)<\/u><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

When Victor-Hugo Vaca II gave The Miami Herald his diary, he trusted editors would see the big picture and focus on the potential global impact of his unique experience; instead, they chose to spotlight minor incidents, like upperclassmen teasing his name. Teasing is a lot different than torture and shortsighted journalists failing to differentiate between the two in foreseeing the long term impacts on society is one example of why public trust has plummeted in news outlets.<\/p>\n

\"USNA<\/a><\/p>\n

USNA Midshipman Officer Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fast-forward to November 30, 2005, when The Miami Herald published a story by staff writer, Elinor J. Brecher, titled, \u201cARTIST SAYS CONDO WORKERS DESTROYED HIS ART PROJECT: An artist complained to police that his Hurricane Wilma-related art installation was damaged by somebody making repairs after Hurricane Wilma.\u201d Besides getting Victor-Hugo Vaca II’s name wrong, again, the article failed to mention the fact that the 2005 Miami Art Basel week exhibit, was created to bring worldwide attention to allegations, that Baltimore spinal-surgeon, Dr. Charles Edwards, was more than just a slumlord, he was also, an alleged serial-killer.<\/p>\n

\"MIAMI<\/a><\/p>\n

When Victor-Hugo Vaca II confronted Elinor J. Brecher about this, she said Dr. Edwards legal team had sent a letter to The Miami Herald editors reminding them that he was a long time advertiser with the newspaper and that her series of investigative reports about the notorious Doctor and his trouble plagued North Bay Village monolith, The Grand View Palace, were creating potential harm to there longstanding business relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought newspapers were about reporting news?\u201d Victor-Hugo Vaca II said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWake up!\u201d Elinor J Brecher answered. \u201cNewspapers are a business.\u201d<\/p>\n

She went on to tell Victor-Hugo Vaca II how Miami Herald staff had been worried about losing their jobs based on rumors of a Knight-Ridder buyout by McClatchy and that the newspaper industry, would be decimated by the Internet. In March of 2006, McClatchy assumed about $2 billion in Knight Ridder’s debt when they purchased The Miami Herald and Brecher\u2019s prediction about mobile technology and the Internet transforming newspapers came to fruition.<\/p>\n

Fast forward, to February 17, 2011, when a Miami New Times article by Michael E. Miller, titled \u201cSHOCK NIGHTCLUB OWNER SKIPS TOWN WITHOUT PAYING HIS BILLS\u201d revealed that Julien Manival nicknamed, \u201cThe French Bernie Madoff\u201d, had bragged to El Nuevo Herald, The Miami Herald\u2019s Spanish language sister- publication, that he wanted his patrons’ heads to spin for days from all the special effects in his new nightclub, located at the former address of the legendary Liquid Nightclub.<\/p>\n

For reasons unknown, CBS News producers never aired the footage they obtained from inside of Shock Nightclub but Jenny Scordamaglia (Miami TV, VidBloggerNation), dared to air the following segment on the first season of her show, “Off Limits”, featuring the infamous censored and stolen paintings and 7,000 square foot fine-art-graffiti mural by Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, intended to raise awareness about economic terrorism and the epidemic of economic fraud impacting the global economy.<\/p>\n
