Murdaugh's Crimes "Only the Tip of the Iceberg" - Jason Ryan "Swamp Kings" Author Full Interview
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 май 2024
- "In Swamp Kings, Jason Ryan reveals Alex’s evil actions are only the tip of the iceberg. When it comes to the Murdaugh family of Hampton County, history has a way of repeating itself. For every alleged, headline-grabbing crime associated with Alex Murdaugh, mirror-image incidents have played out within his family’s past, including parallel instances of fraud, theft, illicit trafficking of babies and booze, calamitous boat crashes, and even alleged murder. There were some crimes committed by Alex’s kin that even he would not dare mimic.
Covering a century of depravity in an impoverished and isolated stretch of the Deep South, Swamp Kings weaves together the jaw-dropping narratives of generations of Murdaughs before culminating in the telling of a murder trial for the ages. Page after page the family’s legacy is laid bare as a spotlight is finally trained on the Murdaugh men who have long lorded over the South Carolina Lowcountry."

The sad thing is, even though the light has shined on how cruel these people to the downtrodden, nothing is going to change. Power will shift to others just as unscrupulous.
I believe otherwise , as the People awaken they will choose not to give their power away to these energies. We will have a choice to make , to evolve or stay in the same old tired patterns. Those who choose to find better solutions will not support this corruption, those who choose to, will remain stuck in the same loop.
Only the LIGHT can conquer darkness!

Here in the deep south, there is always a rat/ rats in a hen house. The swamp will never be completely drained. Corruption, power, money and greed. Old men, deep pockets, run deep
Y’all have done an amazing job reporting on the corruption, etc in SC.
I live in the Tidewater region of VA, very similar to the low country. VA is also the only other state in the union where our legislature appoints our judges. They are not elected.
I worked in the legal community here for many years starting as a clerk for a local judge and then retiring from a law firm.
I was born and raised here as were my grandparents, great grandparents, etc Went as far away to Richmond to school and returned, married and raised my children here. I can certainly relate to these “good old boys” clubs, the corruption and the entitlement.
While I have watched things change here so much for the better, it emphasizes to me that it happened, and still happens in many small towns and regions in this country.
You have done an amazing job bringing awareness to these issues!
Kudos! Y’all rock!
It a corporation everything and its bankrupt out of business take all fake state city county and federal flags and leave. Amoorica was here before the freemason came and built 51 Burger Kings
I always thought that the Murdaugh corruption went back to the foundation of the dynasty. Corruption became instinctual, they knew no other way of working.
agreed
Same
Great interview. I have a question… . I’ve always wondered about the ties Dick Harputlian and Jim had to the dynasty bc of their voracious defense of Alex. After a while u have to let ur client go….bc of unpaid legal fees etc…but they stick by him. Why? What does Alex have on him/them? Worked in law firms for 30 yrs and this attorney/client relationship seems unnatural. There is more there. Curious if u have thoughts on this?
I did not feel their defense of him was voracious or well defended at all …if I was Alex , i would have asked for a refund. If they want to know what voracious and hard work is, they should have asked the late, great Vincent Bugliosi ….lawyers today are lazy as sh-. These lawyers didn’t work hard.
Maybe some lawyers work hard, but very few
We don't believe they're unpaid. The family certainly has enough resources to continue funding Alex's defense should they choose to.
Please don't insult alligators and snakes. They only act to survive. Only homosapiens acts so blatantly cruel when living in comfort. I prefer to take my chances with "dangerous" animals, they don't smile and shake your hand while taking from you.
Great interview! I can’t wait to read this 😊
Any new information on the investigation into Stephen Smith's death?????
Not much to report beyond what we've previously stated. Our interview with PI Steve Peterson laid out the case very well. If you haven't watched it please check it out.
Heavenly Father, open blind eyes and deaf ears, soften hard hearts, set captives free, and stop the tyranny. In Jesus name, Amen.
Amen 🙏 📖 Psalm 35: 1-28 kjv
SO LET IT BE
The lack of opposition is something I'm very familiar with where I live.
Great interview. Thank you.
I just finished listening to this book. Great historical listen!
Great interview. You got me! I was out walking and had to pause and order off Amazon right now. I knew when listening to the trial that I wanted descriptions of the low country akin to my love of Pat Conroy’s works. This will not disappoint: intelligent discourse. I also pray a lot for the low land and it’s people, may the swamp change to benevolence to match the sweet people!💕🙏
Being a come ye to Hampton area, I'm looking forward to reading this. I find it remarkable that most people I talk about this to in the area are still fairly tight lipped.
Sad😢
I bought the Audible book, running it at 0.7 speed to catch everything. The narrator’s voice is good (not annoying or distracting), albeit without a low country accent.
Excellent interview Ms Jen ! Thanks to U both. A Must Read
Congratulations on your book
Was the family respected or feared? Both, I guess.
Just ordered the book. Great great interview. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! You'll enjoy the book too.
Congratulations on the book
Can't wait to get his book. Sounds fascinating! Thank you both!
I wish pat Conroy was alive to write this saga
The swamp is being drained.
I cannot wait to read this
I wish I could see the whole painting behind Jason Ryan
@gagagoose2878 I noticed it as well. Looks like a large wading bird -- judging by the feet!
Excellent interview, thank you. Off to purchase the book.
I will definately read this book!!
I can’t wait to read his books! Thank you.
Just when i think im out
They pull me back in lol
If you believe in reincarnation, people continually reincarnate into their same families. Beliefs and behaviors are carried in the DNA and are also learned.
Yes, I once heard a medium state that Alex is the reincarnation of his grandfather.
@@colleenflanagan5225 pretty cool thanks
Very intrteresting train of thouht....
Life loop one time your male next female back and forth loop after loop
Yep
Wow! I loved this insight. I ordered the Audible book.
You look great!!
I am also fascinated by shipwrecks or sea journeys or ordeals so I look forward to the next book.
Oh the airstrip @ Mozelle - Alex recorded instructing them to sell industrial bagging & sealing machine @ Mozelle.
Does this book help to make sense of what Alex did with all that money?
Just the money that we know about.
Wow...nothing about Murdock! Great job with the title.
They did talk about Murdaugh… not a great deal in detail but I suppose they want us to buy the book.
His epic fall was ingratiating to the rest of us who play by the rules.
Not the correct use of the word “ingratiating”, did you mean gratifying?
@@bonafide1015 yes. Ypu are correct! Gratifying was the word!
@@bonafide1015 yes. It's particularly frustrating to play by two sets of rules. The rules that are announced to the public is one thing, but the rules that you find later on were made to be broken by the friends and followers of the shot callers...Politicians have become shot callers. They ruin people and sometimes families as well.
Ah, the swamplands of South Carolina...just like I pictured it. Thanks for filling out the picture. The Murdaughs oozed 'respectability' and power but a lot of it was from ill got gains.
Just ordered a hardback copy. We lived in the SC low country for much of my life. The Murdaugh’s were/are not alone in corruption, by any means. But, everything began to change after Paul’s drunken boat crash. Hopefully their curse has ended.
I was excited to go get this book but have reservations. Is it full of facts and examples or more speculation and innuendo as to what has occurred with the corruption?
I havnt seen you in over a year
"Swamp Kings"...SWAMP RATS! SWAMP PREDATORS!!!! dang...stay safe; they ruthless.
I bought his book and realized it had several errors - very important yet small details that make we wonder if he knows anything at all or just has a bunch of "facts" he used to put a book together and get it sold during the trial. I dunno these days who in the hell has integrity anymore if anyone.
Fits News! ❤
Are any of the other Murdaughs (brothers)being investigated?
Where can I get this book???
Walmart
Amazon, Books A Million, Barnes & Noble...all of your major book stores have it.
@@ValerieGriner thank you!
I downloaded it from my local library.
@@palmettonana78 great idea!
Thanks!
It's as if some of you didn't watch various people from Murdaugh's law firm testifying. Jean Seckinger, Randy Murdaugh, Ronnie Crosby and others acted honourably.
Any comment about Mrs becky
alligators can run as fast as a horse!
👍
What the hell is this guy talking about? Lol
wo
what a terrible interview just a fluff piece and fits news is so much bette than this No substance
Lots of blatant accusations from this interview. Lots of deceased people they are talking about. How heroic. I’d have a lot more respect from someone who wrote a book that is a long time native to the area.
@@starfireiii2536I thought this author did say that he’s from the low country. Did I hear it wrong?
@@leeprimeau7912 That accent doesn’t sound like a “long time resident”.
@@starfireiii2536 oh I didn’t think of that… you’re right!
Fits has been milking this teat for years now.
Please discuss what the title states. Tip of the iceberg. That leads people to believe you know more about the cast! Not 100% about your book. Not fair!!
It means that the most recent trials for the Murdaughs is the “tip of the iceberg“ because the entire ancestry through four generations were doing the same things and worse, but not exposed, hidden metaphorically under the ice.
FROM THE BOOK'S DESCRIPTION ON AUDIBLE... "Yet even more remarkable is the fact that none of this bad behavior is unprecedented. In Swamp Kings, Jason Ryan reveals it is only the tip of the iceberg, and that when it comes to this family, history has a way of repeating itself. For every alleged, headline-grabbing crime associated with Alex Murdaugh, mirror-image incidents have played out within his family’s past, including parallel instances of fraud, theft, trafficking, calamitous late-night boat crashes, and even murder."
It's actually titled swamp kings
