The Absolute Sanctity

Of Property Ownership

"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the law of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence." -- John Adams

J.A.I.L. has been receiving more and more stories about how governments at all levels throughout this country, city, county, state and federal, are inventing ingenious methods of devouring people's property wholesale for private purposes. Even taking without notice property wanted by land developers because they claim that ground cover exceeds twelve inches. Because judges have now become "agents" of an all tyrannical and encompassing government, instead of the system of checks and balances, no man's castle is safe.

While the below is somewhat lengthily, it is a real classic, a keepsake, and we advise that you read and ponder every word and find a place to keep it for future reference. Professor Shaffer probes our minds and challenges or prejudices, and impresses upon us that property ownership is the very essence of all life itself, and he starts with the provocative question, "Do You Own Your Own Self?" Following Dr. Shaffer's exegesis is a news article from the March 4, 2002 Washington Times that illustrates the premise that Dr. Shaffer has just set forth.

Do You Own Yourself?

by Professor Butler Shaffer

bshaffer@...

One of my favorite quotations comes from Thomas Pynchon: "if they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers." Our world is in the mess it is in today because most of us have internalized the fine art of asking the wrong questions. Contrary to the thinking that would have us believe that the conflict, violence, tyranny, and destructiveness that permeates modern society is the result of "bad" or "hateful" people, disparities in wealth, or lack of education, all of our social problems are the direct consequence of a general failure to respect the inviolability of one another’s property interests!

I begin my Property classes with the question: "do you own yourself?" Most of my students eagerly nod their heads in the affirmative, until I warn them that, by the time we finish examining this question at the end of the year, they will find their answer most troubling, whatever it may be today. "If you do own yourself, then why do you allow the state to control your life and other property interests? And if you answer that you do not own yourself, then what possible objection can you raise to anything that the state may do to you?" ....

Every living thing must occupy space and consume energy from outside itself if it is to survive, and it must do so to the exclusion of all other living things on the planet. I didn’t dream this up. My thinking was not consulted before the life system developed. The world was operating on the property principle when I arrived and, like the rest of us, I had to work out my answers to that most fundamental, pragmatic of all social questions: who gets to make decisions about what? The essence of "ownership" is to be found in control: who gets to be the ultimate decision maker about people and "things" in the world?

Observe the rest of nature: trees, birds, fish, plants, other mammals, bacteria, all stake out claims to space and sources of energy in the world, and will defend such claims against intruders, particularly members of their own species. This is not because they are mean-spirited or uncooperative: quite the contrary, many of us have discovered that cooperation is a great way of increasing the availability of the energy we need to live well. We have found out that, if we will respect the property claims of one another and work together, each of us can enjoy more property in our lives than if we try to function independently of one another. Such a discovery has permitted us to create economic systems.

There is no way that I could have produced, by myself, the computer upon which I am writing this article. Had I devoted my entire life to the undertaking, I would have been unable even to have conceived of its technology. Many other men and women, equally unable to have undertaken the task by themselves, cooperated – without even knowing one another – in its creation. Lest you think that my writing would have to have been accomplished through the use of a pencil, think again: I would also have been unable to produce a pencil on my own, as Leonard Read once illustrated in a wonderful, brief essay.

Such cooperative undertakings have been possible because of a truth – acknowledged by students of marketplace economic systems, particularly the Austrians – about human nature: each of us acts only in anticipation of being better off afterwards as a result of our actions. Toward whatever ends we choose to act – and such ends are constantly rearranging their priorities within us – their satisfaction is always expressed in terms inextricably tied to decision making over something one owns (or seeks to own). Whether I wish to acquire some item of wealth, or to give it away; whether I choose to write some great novel or paint some wondrous work of art; or whether I just wish to lie around and look at flowers, each such act is premised on the fact that we cannot act in the world without doing so through property interests. It is in anticipation of being able to more fully express our sense of what is important to us, both materially and spiritually, that we cooperate with one another.

"Property" also provides a means for maximizing both individual liberty and peace in society. For once we identify who the owner of some item of property is, that person’s will is inviolate as to such property interest. He or she can do what they choose with respect to what is theirs. If I own a barn, I can set fire to it should I so choose. If I must first get another’s permission, such other person is the owner. Individual liberty means that my decision making is immune from the coercion of others, and coercion is always expressed in terms of property trespasses.

At the same time, the property principle limits the scope of my decision making by confining it to that which is mine to control. This is why problems such as industrial "pollution" are usually misconceived, reflecting the truth of Pynchon’s earlier quote. A factory owner who fails to confine the unwanted byproducts of his activities to his own land, is not behaving as a property owner, but as a trespasser. Economists have an apt phrase for this: socializing the costs. He is behaving like any other collectivist, choosing to extend his decision making over the property of others!

But not all of us choose to pursue our self-interests through cooperation with others. Cooperation can exist only when our relationships with others are on a voluntary basis which, in turn, requires a mutual respect for the inviolability of one another’s property boundaries. Those who seek to advance their interests in non-cooperative ways, create another system: politics. If you can manage to drag your mind away from the drivel placed there by your high school civics class teacher, and look at political systems in terms of what they in fact do, you will discover this: every such system is founded upon a disrespect for privately owned property! All political systems are collectivist in nature, for each presumes a rightful authority to violate the will – including confiscation – of property owners. One can no more conceive of "politics" without "theft" than of "war" without "violence."

Every political system is defined in terms of how property is to be controlled in a given society. In communist systems, the state confiscates all the means of production. In less-ambitious socialist systems, the state confiscates the more important means of production (e.g., railroads, communications, steel mills, etc.). Under fascism, "title" to property remains in private hands, but "control" over such property is exercised by the state. Thus, fascism has given us state regulatory systems, in which property owners – be they farmers, homeowners, or businesses – have the illusion of owning what they believe to be "theirs," while the state increasingly exercises the real ownership authority (i.e., control). In welfare state systems, the state confiscates part of the income of individuals and redistributes it to others.

As stated earlier, property is an existential fact. Whatever the society in which we live, someone will make determinations as to who will live where, what resources can be consumed by whom (and when), and how such property will be controlled. Such decisions can either be made by individual property owners – over what is theirs to control – or by the state presuming the authority to control the lives of each of us. When such decisions are made by the state, it is claiming ownership over our lives.

It is at this point that I let the students in on the secret the political establishment would prefer not to have revealed: the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution did not end slavery, but only nationalized it! That most Americans acquiesce in such political arrangements, and take great offense should anyone dare to explain their implications, has led me to the conclusion that America may be the last of the collectivist societies to wither away. Most Americans, sad to say, seem unprepared to deny the state’s authority to direct their lives and property as political officials see fit. The reason for this, as my first-day question to students is designed to elicit, is that most of us refuse to insist upon self-ownership.

We may, of course, choose to accept our role as state-owned chattels, particularly if we are well-treated by our masters. We may be so conditioned in our obeisance that, like cattle entering the slaughterhouse, we may pause to lick the hand of the butcher out of gratitude for having been well cared for. On the other hand, we may decide to reclaim our self-ownership by taking back the control over our lives that we have long since abandoned. ....

There is one person who can restore you to a state of self-ownership, however, and that person is you. To do so, you need only assert your claim, not as some empty gesture, but in full understanding of the existential meaning of such a claim, including the willingness to take full control of and responsibility for your life. While your claim will likely evoke cries of contempt from many, you may also find yourself energized by a life force that permeates all of nature; an �lan vital that reminds us that life manifests itself only through individuals, and not as collective monstrosities; that life belongs to the living, not to the state or any other abstraction.

Eminent domain abuses unchecked

Dana Berliner / Scott Bullock
Published 3/4/2002

Most people would be shocked to discover that governments across
the nation are taking individuals' homes only to transfer that property
to a favored business or neighbor. Or that businesses are often being
condemned so another business can take their property and make a larger
profit.

Yet in the last few years, governments across the country have
taken private homes and businesses to replace them with other privately
owned single businesses, malls, industrial developments and upscale
housing.

In New London, Conn., a private organization has been given the
government power to condemn more than a dozen properties, including the home of an 82-year-old grandmother for construction of an office park and other development to complement a nearby Pfizer research facility.

Merriam, Kan,. condemned a car dealership so a higher-profit neighboring
BMW dealership could expand. And in Riviera Beach, Fla., the city is
moving forward with plans to force out more than 5,000 residents for
privately owned commercial and industrial development.

These are a few of the situations described in a report issued today by the newly formed Castle Coalition, "Government Theft: The Top
Ten Abuses of Eminent Domain, 1998-2002." Selected from more than 100 such abuses around the country, the report describes 10 of the most
egregious examples of government taking homes or businesses from their
rightful owners to transfer the land to a more politically or financially powerful private party.

Although both federal and state constitutions forbid takings for
private use, government at all levels ignores this prohibition.

Court battles are long, arduous and often prohibitively expensive,
particularly when the cost is borne by one or two property owners.....

Across the country, there were isolated pockets of dedicated activists fighting to defeat plans to raze their homes and businesses for the benefit of private parties, but now they are uniting. ....

If an elderly widow's house in Des Plaines, Ill., can be condemned
for a Walgreens, no one's home is safe. Under our Constitution, our
property rights are not conditioned on the whim of those with financial
and political influence. Nor should they be sacrificed just so municipalities can put more money in their coffers.

It's time for citizens to tell their state and local governments that enough is enough. The abuse of eminent domain to take property for
other private parties must end. That's what the Castle Coalition intends
to accomplish.

Dana Berliner and Scott Bullock are both senior attorneys at the
Institute for Justice. They currently litigate cases challenging eminent
domain abuses in Connecticut, Mississippi, and New York. For more

What Is "Law"?

The following article is an excellent elucidation on "Law" written by Tony Blizzard which he titles "Commentary on Pundit Error." This article shows that the U.S. Constitution is truly the Supreme Law of the Land-- it is unchangeable and is not answerable to any other form of man-made "law" nor is it overcome by treaties. This article serves as a foundation of principle upon which J.A.I.L. will function. Judges will be held accountable to the People under the Supreme Law of the Land: the U.S. Constitution and laws made in pursuance thereof.

Mr. Blizzard's contact address was not furnished with his article. You'll have to contact "Marda Kirkwood" kirkwood@... or "WGEN" idzrus@... shown below, at the head of the article. We thank Tony Blizzard for this article and Jackie Juntti of WGEN for sending it to us.

"Giving these servants the godlike title "lawmaker" leads psychologically to obeisance to them, sabotaging the citizens' sovereign power of holding them to account for their unconstitutional misdeeds, a direct reason this unlawful reality exits."

"Our republic demands citizen participation to maintain right order. Until citizens are willing to learn and act on these truths they will be the servants and the servants will remain their masters."

COMMENTARY ON PUNDIT ERROR
By Tony Blizzard (Sorry, email address was not furnished)

Political pundits of the media habitually and sloppily refer to members of Congress and state legislatures as "lawmakers." Although one of these bodies' activities is considering and passing on proposed statutes, their role and proper designations are "representative" and "senator." The job of representatives is to represent their constituency, as is that of U.S. senators since a Constitutional change in 1913. Previously, U.S. senators represented their states' governments' interests but an amendment reduced them to a second body representing a whole state's constituency, a practical exercise in
futility and a blow against states' rights versus the federal government.

Congress does not "make law," it may pass bills intended to become statutes if they clear all constitutional hurdles. Statutes must be in agreement to that document of law or they are null and void. Never does the true law, the constitution, have to answer to a statute. Even when a statute passes all its tests it is not a law equal to the Constitution. A statute can be contested at any time as to its constitutionality in the courts. Even when our Supreme Court declares a statute constitutional, the decision applies only to the particular case before the court, although our adversary court system has created the evil called "case law" which has been used to harden statutes, good and bad, into political reinforced concrete.

Not even the courts were meant to be the final arbiters of whether or not the people would accept a statute, that was left to the jury, made up from the common man, who is considered the sovereign under our form of Republic and whom the government was intended to serve, not rule. A statute is not to be included in our "body of law" at any time the people's juries disallow it, but a jury cannot attack the Constitution.

Representatives and senators create changeable statutes, not unchangeable law. They are supposedly under the law themselves. Moreover, they, like bureaucrats, are public servants, and lawfully of less consequence than the plain citizens they are elected to serve.

Such is the ideal for which the Founders strove. Comparing that to the
evolved reality can be depressing. Giving these servants the godlike title "lawmaker" leads psychologically to obeisance to them, sabotaging the citizens' sovereign power of holding them to account for their
unconstitutional misdeeds, a direct reason this unlawful reality exits.

TREATIES
Equally disturbing is the pundit, even patriot, promoted myth that treaties undermine the Constitution, an affront to it that the Supreme Court correctly ruled unlawful. That body stated in Reid v. Covert, (1956) 354 U.S. 1, at p. 17:
"[T]his court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty . . . It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution as well as those responsible for the Bill of Rights - let alone alien to our entire Constitutional history and tradition - to construe Article VI as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement, without observing constitutional prohibitions. (See: Elliot's Debates 1836 ed. pages 500-519). In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by Article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government and they cannot be nullified by the executive or by the executive and senate combined."

Article V of the Constitution contains the provisions for altering that document. Treaties are not mentioned in the article. Article VI, states that all laws must be made "in pursuance" of it, plainly adding that treaties must be made under the authority of the United States, itself under the Constitution.
Furthermore, when a treaty is violated in any part, it is no longer valid by law.

On July 7, 1798, Congress declared a 1778 treaty with France "no longer obligatory" claiming France had violated it. By law, treaties are not poured in concrete or carved in marble anymore than are statutes. If treaties, the highest formal bond among states, cannot nullify the Constitution, it is criminally disingenuous for any to postulate that any kind of lesser "agreement" can.

None of these mentioned corrections of concept matter one wit as long as
citizens wring their hands and tolerate abuses of our law in the mistaken name of lawfulness. Our republic demands citizen participation to maintain right order. Until citizens are willing to learn and act on these truths they will be the servants and the servants will remain their masters.

Patriotic political media pundits must use accurate and responsible terms in order for paradigm changes in commonly accepted political truisms to occur in the popular mind which, in turn, can create an insurmountable populist demand to return to the Republic intended by the Founders.

Judges' Party Time Ends

Audit: Money from 'slush fund' should have gone to court's account

By Troy Anderson

Staff Writer

Party time for Los Angeles judges --golf tournaments, dinner cruises, horse races, baseball games and theater events-- partially funded by fees that should have gone to the court system has finally ended.

For decades, Los Angeles County's judges have treated themselves to the lifestyles of the rich and famous with money in an obscure fund created in 1960....

... the independent audit, ordered by [Los Angeles] Presiding Judge James Bascue in February 2001, found there was no practical way to determine how much money was deposited to the fund... [Ron Branson subpoenaed Jim Bascue to the witness stand when Mr. Bascue was the Chief Deputy of the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office in 1983 in the matter of the dismissal of Barbara Branson from the D.A.'s office without a hearing, cross-examining Mr. Bascue regarding the truthfulness of a document submitted and relied upon by him. This cross-examination regarding the contents of this document became so embarrassing that the hearing officer short-circuited the cross-examination and finally said, "Let's just say the document was submitted for its existence, and not for its content."] It also found the judges were not improperly influenced in legal cases by the money from lawyers. (And why, pray tell, were the lawyers giving money to the judges before whom they stood, deciding their cases? -RB)

The association's board of directors voted 3-0 in December to turn the nearly $60,000 left in the fund over to the court and end the practice of accepting contributions from lawyers and others....

"My gut reaction is very simple," said taxpayer advocate and Beverly Hills attorney Richard I. Fine, "this is a typical misuse of funds case. Should the taxpayers pay for judges to go on (ocean) dinner cruises? Should the taxpayers pay for judges to have golf tournaments?

"Should the taxpayers pay for retirement parties? Should the taxpayers pay for wine and cheese get-togethers?" ....

[Deputy County Counsel Frederick] Bennett said the court made the right decision in December [2001] to ensure the proper separation between the court and the judges' association accounts, but it did not want the money repaid because of the difficulty separating funds commingled for decades....

[Frederick Bennett is the sweetheart of all of the judges of the County of Los Angeles. He has "faithfully" defended every Los Angeles County judge sued by Mr. Branson, and boasts that never in his entire tenure has he ever lost a defense case against a judge.]

In August, state Sen. Sheila Kuehl, D-Los Angeles, called for a state audit into whether judges operated the special account partially supported by child custody and support cases as a slush fund for their own benefit. [Both Attorney Gary Zerman (the National J.A.I.L. Lt. Commander-In-Chief) and Mr. Branson testified at the inquiry on the conduct of these Los Angeles judges prior to the senator calling for this audit.]

The state auditor questioned whether she had authority to conduct the audit of a private judges association. On March 19, Kuehl wrote a letter to Bascue asking for a copy of the independent audit he ordered. The Daily News obtained the audit last week.

Among its findings was that judges' fund records showed a large number of checks from judges were made out to "Cash." ....

The National Organization for Women had asked Kuehl to call for the inquiry because of concerns that funds from attorneys and clients involved in child custody and child support cases were improperly influencing cases before the judges.

The fund, which the audit by the Los Angeles accounting firm of Simpson & Simpson showed... operated under the County's tax identification number without filing tax returns until the association incorporated in 1997. (In other words, these judges didn't file tax returns on this money from 1960 to 1996

--36 years-- and started filing only after the heat was on them. RB)

Details of the fund, supported by lawyer contributions, court monitors and legal seminar fees put on by judges, emerged out of a legal battle between the judges association and a group of parents who claimed they were victimized by the family court system because of the financial interests of the judges.

La Crescenta resident Marvin Brier, a 63-year-old retired bank computer analyst who spent several years and $100,000 investigating the fund while helping his daughter regain custody of her 13-year-old son, said the audit shows collusion between lawyers and judges in family court cases. [Marve Brier in 1996 called Mr. Branson and told him he had photocopies of checks that proved judges were getting money under the table, and that he was going to go to the District Attorney's Office with his evidence. Mr. Branson advised him not to turn lose of his original evidence because he is sure to find that the District Attorney is in on this scam and will seek to cover it up. Since that time, Marve Brier has taken his evidence to every government agency and to the media, all shunning or covering up the matter. Marvin has spoken on his experiences on various occasions at the invitation of Mr. Branson.]

"I'm stunned," Brier said. "Basically, the lawyers bought this stuff for the judges and then they got favorable judgments. The judicial canons and state bar ethics strictly prohibit this.

"I think all the people who lost children in the family court system have a right to go back and look at who gave money to the association in their cases. My daughter lost local custody of her son and we attribute this to the money. We regained custody by using this evidence in various court cases."

Irene Jensen, 47, who maintains residences in the San Fernando Valley and Salt Lake City, said she hasn't seen her daughter in 19 months. [Irene was one of the first members of JRA (JAIL's predecessor) in 1996-- before the members became known as "JAILers."]

"We are paying for these judges to have a good time on our misery," she said. "Where is my money going? In the last nine years, I've spent well over $100,000 fighting for my daughter's life. Does this mean my money helps these judges go on cruises?" ....

Fund expense records for 2000 showed money was used for golf tournaments at El Caballero Country Club, Brookside Country Club, and Braemar Country Club, Fantasea Charters & Event Production ocean dinner cruises out of Marina del Rey, Los Angeles Turf Club Inc., horse races and tickets for L.A. Dodgers games and the Lion King theater production....

We are proud that J.A.I.L. has played a part in the history of the development of this judicial scam of Los Angeles County. Our special thanks to the Daily News for boldly publishing the above article, and to Marve Brier, Irene Jensen, Attorney Gary Zerman and others not specifically named who also contributed in exposing this scandal.

USA Courts Worse Than USSR!

So many times I have been told that our justice system may not be perfect, but it is at least the best there is in the world. Below is the testimony of a Russian born citizen comparing our USA judicial system with that of Communist Russia. Due to his foreign heritage enforcing his point, we are not correcting his English language or enunciations, but we are taking editorial liberty in publishing his testimony.

Raping of Constitution!

Judicial Tyranny in the USA.

What is difference between judicial tyranny in former USSR and in the USA? NOTHING! Same judicial tyranny, abuse power, violation constitutions. When political prosoner in former USSR went on hunger strike, the KGB said that this prisoners went on diet (in prisons there gave a little food and hard work). Here in the USA same lie: I files a lawsuits against US District Judges for violation US Constitution for abuse power, for judicial misconduct, for raping this constitution, same judges dismissed ally cases without any Jury Trials and saying that I demand money from judges and they are immune against any damages, crimes.

The US Constitution and the Code of Ethics say that public service is public trust, put loyalty to country above loyalty to person, party or Government department.

This country belongs to the PEOPLE, but not to a few corrupted politicians, judges, lawyers who should be in prisons up to 2 years.

In 1998 I was terminated by TRI-MET, a public transportation company, Portland, OR. This company is on federal funding (it got $257M+). I worked there about 2 years. I spoke many times that this company is abusing this system, waste taxpayers money, it remind me Communist Russia. I said that a few employees are lazy, overpaid. It turned union ATU 757 against me. One guy all times harassed me during working hours. I many times wrote Complaints to management and union to stop it, but they did nothing. Shortly: this company with cooperation of union fabricated case against me, did witnesses tampering and terminated me as a Dangerous For Public Safety (this definition is in union book).

Company hired and paid to two Indep. Investigators, they did a Final Report, on basis of which I was terminated, but didn't sign it. On my demand of Report with signa-tures- I got denial. The TRI-MET attorneys fabricated it. It is fraud. And my Attorney Mr Harris refused to demand it. I do not know why- it looks like conspiracy. I paid him $10,000.00. And I dismissed him (I lost money) and started to do myself (ProSe).

The Oregon Bureau Of Labor and the EEOC in Seattle didn't investigate my Complaints. It is a violation of US Constitution and my civil rights. Oregon Employment Department found my termination unconstitutional, but Judge Panner, didn't allow me to give to the Jury this evidence, Judge didn't allow me to give to the Jury the Letter of Counselor in my favor, Judge didn't allow me to give to the Jury the many articles in newspapers about me. Judge didn't allow me (I was ProSe) to include in the verdict form the Retaliation Claim. It is abuse power, judicial misconduct. Judge Panner did it attentionally, willfully. Someone in Court gave an Order.

I suing TRI-MET and union ATU 757 for discrimination in termination on bases of age (I was 61 and 65 now), national origin (Russian) and retaliation. And Jury decided that I was not terminated on basis of national origin. So, on what?

Yes, I filed an Appeal in US Court of Appeals for 9th Circuit, but, it is same as was in former USSR, cover up, protection of criminals in US District Courts. Some of these judges should be in prison up to 2 years.

I suing 6 Federal Judges: Panner, Jones, Stewart, Ashmanskas, Aiken, Haggerty, and going to sue Chief Judge Hogan, Oregon. They are violated US Constitution (no one is above the law), they did judicial misconduct, they broke the oath that they gave to the PEOPLE and the Code of Ethics and Prohibited Personnel Practices, they dismissed all my cases. And it is not surprise for me that 6 cases were dismissed.

I do it from my heart not for myself only, but for US. I want to remind them that they are not honest. During naturalization 21 years ago I gave the oath to defend our country and Constitution, and it I'm doing now.

I complained many times to our Senators Wyden, Smith, Congressman Wu, Governor Kitzhaber, members of US Judiciary Committee, etc- useless. Political mafia.

I filed a Lawsuit against Governor Kitzhaber for violation of State and US Constitutions. I have an evidence of bribery of Kitzhaber, I demanded a jury trial, but US Judge Haggerty dismissed my case. Why? He said that state is protected by Eleventh Amendment. It is a lie! I may sue state where I live, and the crime is federal.

Public office is the public trust. How we can trust the public officials? I filed a Lawsuit against BOLI (Oregon Bureau Of Labor and Industries) for violation of Constitution: this state agency must investigate my Complaints of violations of Constitutions, but did NOT do it.

Commissioner of BOLI Jack Roberts is corrupted: he accepted money from companies during his election campaigns and then dismissed Complaints against these companies. I demanded a jury trial, but US Judge Aiken dismissed my cases against US Judges saying that they are immune from damages. It is a lie: I demanded jury trials. And the State is not protected by Eleventh Amendment.

In the Courthouse the Marshal started to excort me. Next time I will ask the Red Carpet for me (you see, I got popularity, Marshal said that I'm dangerous for judges). Same the KGB did to me.

I looked on the Internet if someone is suing judges, but didn't find. It looks like I'm a Pioneer in this. I informed about it the press, media, but it does not want to tell to the people about my lawsuits. Do not tell truth is same as to lie, fraud.

I lost money, but the our judicial system lost a lot: the TRUST of THE PEOPLE! So many people are hurt by this Judicial Tyranny. How this injustice may hurt the people, who made this country so great? Where we are going to? To war?

This judicial system is worse then was in USSR!

Enforcing the testimony of the above Russian, the judges of this country have thrown a many more Americans per capita in our USA prisons than in Communist Russia, or in any tyrannical or terrorist nation on the earth, by far. In fact, aside from General Motors, USA's chief business is the prison industry. USA has the most tyranical and oppressive judges on earth -- while operating under the flag of "Liberty and Justice for all."

It is for this reason that it is inevitable that JAIL4judges is sure to capture the hearts and minds of all good Americans at the polls, for when the Russians start saying, "This judicial system is worse then was in USSR!" we are in bad trouble.

J.A.I.L. Is The Way

To Restore Self-Ownership As Individuals

Based on the JNJ of March 31, 2002 titled "The Absolute Sanctity Of Property Ownership" and the article by Professor Butler Shaffer bshaffer@... "Do You Own Yourself?"

For the first time, I read the above-referenced JNJ regarding Property Ownership that Ron put out last week. He told me what a powerful JNJ it was. I asked him what did it have to do with J.A.I.L. and he said I would have to read it to find out. Well, I did, and I found out! I discovered that we no longer have Government. A "usurping force" has taken over our government, and J.A.I.L. is the only way we can stop it.

Before I continue, I wish to thank Professor Shaffer for the inspiration he gave me by his meaningful article. I especially appreciate articles that are basic to Nature, because that's where everything begins. It requires close study and scrutiny of the "basics" of Life to properly evaluate developments that have taken place over time. I find Professor Shaffer's writing to be an exegesis of basic Truth which cannot be denied because it is basic to Life itself.

It is imperative, if we are to restore our Constitutional Republic, that the People go back to the "basics." Forget what you've learned from the powers that be and the media. Start from the point in life that can be proved by Nature which is Truth, Natural Law. Put out of your mind words, phrases, sayings, that you have been told means thus and such. Deal only with existential fact which is what Professor Shaffer's article "Do You Own Yourself?" deals with. If any of you haven't read it, I heartily recommend that you do. If you have read it, it deserves being read again and digested well because it is as basic a truth in life that exists, and it illustrates how far afield from truth we, as a nation, have strayed. Professor Shaffer's article is yet another way to remind us how urgent it is that we, the People, wake up to what has, and is happening to us-- ALL of us-- DAILY! And WHAT we can and must do about it!

The first thought that came to my mind about "property ownership" was ownership of land. Then I thought of ownership of any material item, such as a car, boat, house, farm equipment, --whatever. But in reading the article, I realize that "property" includes much more than material objects, and perhaps the most important aspect of all, is our rights --unalienable/inalienable rights that cannot be alienated.

I explained in an earlier JNJ in discussing our unalienable (I'll use that spelling as used in the Declaration) rights, that an individual possesses those rights by birth --call them "birthrights"-- and they are as much a permanent part of his person as is his physical body --whether or not he/she allows them to be

overtaken by a "usurping force."

It is at that point of usurpation where the People depart from Life according to existential fact --according to their birthrights --according to Truth, by automatically accepting as true and genuine, through brainwashing since childhood with tons of lies and propaganda, a counterfeit "life" which is not the Life to which each of us is by Nature entitled. That entitlement still exists nevertheless, however it has been overtaken by this "usurping force."

I don't find any justification in calling that force "government" because it has gone way beyond the function of government. Government's function is to protect and secure our rights. However, the force currently in place has turned 180 degrees from that role and is now trespassing upon us and stealing our birthrights, and has been doing so for decades and has gotten by with it!

That force may just as well remove an arm, a leg, a hand, or a foot, and claim it as "theirs" to do with as they see fit. The truth is, we DON'T HAVE A GOVERNMENT any more, regardless of what the current usurping force calls itself. "Government" as was instituted by the People no longer exists! Obey the government?? --we no longer have one!

And what makes this usurping force possible? Where does this force get its lifeblood? FROM THE JUDICIARY! Judges are the final say in all of this propaganda which they pass off as "law." Judges head up this usurping force that is destroying the People on a daily basis!

To those of you who have been involved in the "legal" system, how many times have you heard or read "government's overriding interests"? And where did that term originate? By the usurping force calling itself government, and more particularly, by the courts-- the judiciary, the head of the "collective monstrosities" as Professor Shaffer calls them, controlling our lives, giving the lifeblood to those "monstrosities" by the tyrannical rulings they make daily, keeping those "monstrosities" alive and well on Planet Earth.

What interest does government have in controlling anything without the owners' (the people's) permission-- without the "consent of the governed"?

Absolutely none! But remember, we longer have a "government" in place!

The conditions people are forced to live under are FOREIGN to American government.

Because of the brainwashing we've been through, causing many to believe that the power in force today is "government," people have come to believe the twisted theories, masquerading as "law," saying "Oh, you GAVE permission when you signed "the contract." The fact is, ladies and gentlemen, you didn't GIVE permission-- the usurping force TOOK it from you by fraud and deception, by twisting meanings of words (verbicide). It is not within the province of government to do that. Therefore, what is being done is NOT by government at all, but by a counterfeit power under the guise of "government."

And where does that "contract" idea originate? Yes-- again by the usurping force, of course, and ultimately by the JUDICIARY --that unaccountable tyrannical usurper of power!

Entering into a contract is for the purpose of receiving a benefit that will improve a currently existing circumstance. The decision to do so is up to the individual before entering into the contract. It isn't up to the government to make that determination regarding an individual's circumstances. When it happens, however, it is not an action by government, but by a usurping force that has taken over power. As Professor Shaffer states, "Such decisions can either be made by individual property owners – over what is theirs to control – or by the state presuming the authority to control the lives of each of us. When such decisions are made by the state, it is claiming ownership over our lives." The "state presuming the authority to control the lives of each of us" is NOT the authority of government.

And how is that state presumption of authority made possible? By the state itself, of course, which has become part of the "collective monstrosity" described by Professor Shaffer, and ultimately by the JUDICIARY who backs up this "presumption of authority" at any cost, with impunity, by its daily tyrannical rulings.

How many times have you heard "I'm jes' doin' ma' job" when someone wearing a badge trespasses against you in one form or another? This scenario takes many forms. In the name of "doing his job" he trespasses upon an owner's property and takes whatever action he deems necessary, according to his own dictates and not according to the owner, who hired him to protect his (the owner's) interests in the first place. The "job doer" does his job in HIS own self interest-- in pleasing his superiors, the usurping force, which is being paid for by the property owner. This is done in the name of "just doing his job" which, if it were a government job, would be protecting the owner's interests, not violating them. Take the matter to court-- redress (due process of law) is not given. The scenario is repeated time and time again. Is that the role of government?

Think of the court system when reading the following by Professor Shaffer: "But not all of us choose to pursue our self-interests through cooperation with others. Cooperation can exist only when our relationships with others are on a voluntary basis which, in turn, requires a mutual respect for the inviolability of one another’s property boundaries. Those who seek to advance their interests in non-cooperative ways, create another system: politics. If you can manage to drag your mind away from the drivel placed there by your high school civics class teacher, and look at political systems in terms of what they in fact do, you will discover this: every such system is founded upon a disrespect for privately owned property! All political systems are collectivist in nature, for each presumes a rightful authority to violate the will – including confiscation – of property owners. One can no more conceive of "politics" without "theft" than of "war" without "violence."

Yes, our judicial system has evolved into a POLITICAL MACHINE that allows such usurpation of power over our property, reducing our rights under absolute despotism. This is done by saying "jes' doin' ma' job."

The Professor states: "the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution did not end slavery, but only nationalized it!" The 13th Amendment still exists as written, as are all Amendments. It is the usurping force, not the Amendment, that has "nationalized" slavery. This is a violation of the Constitution which J.A.I.L. will remedy when such violation is enforced by a judge.

The problem is "most of us refuse to insist upon self-ownership." As the Professor says, "We may, of course, choose to accept our role as state-owned chattels, particularly if we are well-treated by our masters. We may be so conditioned in our obeisance that, like cattle entering the slaughterhouse, we may pause to lick the hand of the butcher out of gratitude for having been well cared for." Yes, as another existential fact, there will always be those who run from the Truth-- choosing to keep their heads buried in the sand, giving heed to the propoganda they have been fed. Sadly, they would rather "lick the hand of the butcher."

But that shouldn't stop those of us who know better. The following portion of Professor Shaffer's article describes the basic principle underlying the purpose of J.A.I.L. "... we may decide to reclaim our self-ownership by taking back the control over our lives that we have long since abandoned. .... There is one person who can restore you to a state of self-ownership, however, and that person is you. To do so, you need only assert your claim, not as some empty gesture, but in full understanding of the existential meaning of such a claim, including the willingness to take full control of and responsibility for your life. While your claim will likely evoke cries of contempt from many, you may also find yourself energized by a life force that permeates all of nature; an �lan vital that reminds us that life manifests itself only through individuals, and not as collective monstrosities; that life belongs to the living, not to the state or any other abstraction."

As the Declaration points out, it is our DUTY to "throw off such government" and "provide new guards for our future security" which we must do to restore ourselves "to a state of self-ownership." The way to "assert your claim... in full understanding of the existential meaning of such a claim" is by doing whatever is necessary to get J.A.I.L. passed in every state. Through J.A.I.L., the People will be able to realize the existential fact that "life manifests itself only through individuals" and not through "collective monstrosities" headed by our corrupt judicial system.

Thus, the very apt question, "Do you own yourself?" To me, it is a very insulting thought that we are responsible for caring for our bodies-- food, clothing, shelter-- and yet another entity, a usurping force, is able to control what our bodies do -- how we provide for those necessities of life --how we live. And even more insulting is the fact that we are forced to PAY for that usurping force to take control over our individual lives.

Just ponder that thought for a moment...........

Take the time to THINK about it.........

How absurd can it be?

Do you choose to "lick the butcher's hand"?

WHAT CAN WE DO? Join forces with a deliberate focal point and common name that is nonpartisan -- free of political party identification and participatory control!

Composed April; 8, 2002 as my response to three issues that I relate to each other. Part I reprints the stimulus messages .
Part II relates the issues to my own personal experiences
in the state and federal courts which have aided and abetted criminal theft
of two parcels of real property that I own but do not freely possess because of
usurped powers of jurisdiction that the judges did not and do not possess under law.
My knowldege of law gained as law student for 33 hours of study
in 1964-1965, Bates College of Law, University of Houston
and legal research and writing since 1984 when I was
forced to continue cases pro se after being duped
and dumped on by retained attorneys
gave me the experience to plead
my point that our courts
are bastions of
treason.
When a federal judge can do what Kenneth M. Hoyt is currently doing
in consert with the local United States Attorney and United States Trustee
in conjunction with the Clerk of the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
for the intent and prupose to obstruct appeal by right 28USC1292 prosess
there is no constitutional protection from this abuse and that is active treason!
I write responsive to the three issues to express my opinion
on complaceny of voters and to validate the repeat of fascist Germany Nazism
as current fascist American Nazism cultivated in our legal system
by judges and lawyers
who have given themselves the powers to discipline themselves.
Federal legislators created 28 USC �372 which puts appellate judges
in disciplinary authority over judicial misconduct,
The Texas legislators gave disciplinary power over judges and lawyers through the State Bar Act superceded by Order of Texas Supreme Court
under doctrine of "inherent power", a doctrine created by the judiciary itself!
This, I call madness in the context of insanity, devoid of sound logic and reasonablness in the mind of the ordinary person.
I share this to learn, inform and educate.

       BRAVO, RAY, for keeping public enemy #1 enemy dead-center in the cross-hairs. History is just repeating itself.
       Speaking about the tyranny of his day, FDR said on 29 December 1940, "The
experience of the past two years has proven beyond doubt that no nation can
appease the Nazis. No man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it. There can be no appeasement with ruthlessness."
       A few months earlier, on 13 May 1940, while speaking about that same tyranny, Winston Churchill said to the House of Commons, in his first address as prime minister: "You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war ... against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, What is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory---victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be..."
       FDR added on 6 January 1941, "As a nation, we may take pride in the fact that we are soft-hearted; but cannot afford to be soft-headed. We must always be wary of those who with sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal peach the 'ism' of appeasement."

        It hit me during the night, and I started checking out the Federal bench
in Houston, and also Nowlin in Austin. All are card carrying active members
of the State Bar.
       Once a federal judge is appointed, he/she must resign from the Bar,
because it is a State agency. A Federal judge cannot be a member of any agency of government after appointed to the Federal bench. Only Ken Hoyt is in compliance and Lee Rosenthal is on "inactive" status. All the rest are "eligible to practice law in Texas" per the Bar.
       This means that all Federal Judges in Houston are "OFFICERS OF THE TEXAS
SUPREME COURT", and GOVERNMENT AGENTS, while sitting as Federal judges.
How in hell can you be an Officer of the Texas Supreme Court, an agent of the
Bar, and be a so called independent judge ? Worse yet, how can these #@%*
rule on a suit for declaratory judgement, or Habeas for Harry, when they
are INFERIORS of the Texas Supreme Court ??
       This means of course that the Federal bench is under direct control of the
S.Ct. and the Bar. Cliff should also know about his Federal judge being a member of the S.Ct. and the Bar, while sitting in judgement. He should recuse due to conflict, etc
       You should circulate this to everybody, and if ever a protest was called for, this sure qualifies.

J.A.I.L. Status Report

Our thanks to Henry Nicolle (who introduced himself in the first paragraph) for responding to Doug Hampton, a new Kansas JAILer, who has kindly offered some extensive assistance for J.A.I.L. Henry's response is so excellent that we deemed it worthy of informing everyone on our list of the current status of JAIL4Judges.

The downside is, Ron and I (his sidekick), just cannot keep up the pace of the growth we're experiencing. Ron has in his computer well over 200 people waiting to join, not only our regular list, but quite a few as JAILers as well.

I have about 100 waiting to join in my computer. Ron's Inbox has over 2,000 waiting for attention, and there are over 1,200 in my Inbox. We are hopelessly snowed under, and the load is only going to increase-- and it does by geometric proportions, exponentially-- the rate of increase explodes weekly.

You may notice that the JNJs aren't coming out as often as they used to-- now you know why. We have to split our time between the Add/Removes and the regular emails from which we put together the JNJs. Thanks for everyone's patience! -Barbie-

Hello Doug, (Douglas R. Hampton doug@...)

This is Henry Nicolle, (JAIL4Judges in Ventura, California. (Warden for Ventura county, California Associate JAILer-in-Chief and National Webmaster-General) staff@...

I apologize for my delay in responding. In any case, here we are - let's get started!

As you know, Ron Branson has asked that I respond to your kind and concerned offer to help JAIL4Judges bring structure to our growing organization. I made a quick visit to BSSI on the web and I have read your resume' summaries. (Nice balance of talent and experience.)

I'll start at the beginning, so that we'll both have the same fundamental understandings. This may be a little long. Please bear with me.

JAIL4Judges is a national advocacy group without formal statutory status, composed of individuals across America, with Canadian and Australian members in an auxiliary capacity. We have delegated leaders and members in about 47 of the states of the United States.

JAIL4Judges does not provide individual services or advocacy.

JAIL4Judges has only one purpose. The sole purpose of JAIL4Judges is to bring direct personal accountability by our judicial officers to the Citizens in the states, directly, without the intervention of their representatives. We expect to perfect this goal by Citizen initiative for constitutional amendment or statute in each state, depending on the processes available in the several states.

The amendment or legislation provides for Special Grand Jury review and initiation of prosecution or discipline, if necessary, of individual judicial officer acts which are alleged to have been made in violation of constitutionl law and ethics. Special Grand Jury membership eligibility is restricted to Citizens who are not government officers or public employees. Except in cases of exceptional urgency and necessity, Special Grand Jury deliberations are exclusive of individual court activities and ordinary remedies in law and process. The Special Grand Juries do not substitute for Commissions, BARs or other bodies entrusted with securing ethical and lawful compliance by judicial officers. The JAIL4Judges (Citizens) Special Grand Jury authority is invoked by Citizens when criminal, unethical, prejudicial or other judicial misconduct is ineffectively managed by traditional, representative remedies.

We believe that judicial self-discipline, imposed and enforced with personal accountability, will have a desirable remedial effect across our governing institutions generally. If our courts obey our constitutions and enforce our laws with strict observance of law and process, legislative intent and judicial ethic, then the customary exercise of faulty policy and usurpation by our representatives, officials and public servants will find little favor in opposition to the justified demands for accounting and redress by the Citizens.

JAIL4Judges was founded for this purpose several years ago by Ron Branson and it is due to his continuing spirit of purpose (and his first-class sidekick, Barbie) that we are now discussing the logical transition from an ad hoc association of independent intellects to a formally structured entity which can act with the influence and efficiency of formal association.

Here is a short list of what we need:

1. Well-considered recommendations for statutory structure and alternate structures including formal and quasi-formal organizations. We believe that a properly organized JAIL4Judges will consist of multiple entities with appropriate severability for discrete functions of law and administration. Considerations in this aspect of planning are fundraising, initiative sponsoring, obligations and liabilities of law, public relations and media relations, physical and financial infrastructure and finally, general management and operations.

2. In-depth study of membership development.

3. Review of traditional and eccentric funding methods. (Several funding experiments have been considered, or are under consideration, but JAIL4Judges funding has never developed beyond T-shirt sales and the personal out-of-pocket generosity of its members, leaders and supporters.)

4. Talent search for key administration and support personnel, and the means for their acquisition and support. Among the JAILers roster are many very capable individuals. Many of these have devoted unselfishly of their professional and personal time and resources. But the administrative core of JAIL4Judges will require and probably draw upon professional resources for day-to-day business. This core will enable the political energies of JAIL4Judges to be devoted to ordinary political activities of exposure, education and persuasion instead of the skilled drudgery of telephones. printing presses and furniture dusting.

In short, Doug, we have a good and achievable idea... lots of people agree. Our recognition and exposure factors are growing nicely and our membership is increasing faster than Ron can keep up on the books.

Without belaboring the point, JAIL4Judges needs resources and structure. We have little of either. What we have accumulated to this point I think is a good reflection of the merit and acceptability of the JAIL4Judges concept. But we do need professional assistance.

Here you are then, I have filled in some of the blanks as a talking list. Our other leaders will have other ideas and perspectives. Most of them have more experience and knowledge of our past activities than I do, so we will very likely benefit from their participation and advice as we explore the opportunities of JAIL4Judges and the potential for your personal and professional attention.

If, for some reason I am not immediately responsive, I must ask your forbearance. I will respond. As is the case of most JAILers, my personal time and resources are at a premium. We all must keep our local JAIL4Judges activities in motion, plus keep body and soul together, and in many cases, deal with our own crop of judicial and prosecutorial misconduct. We do pretty well, all things considered.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. Please copy Ron when you correspond.

Thanks for coming on board! Welcome to JAIL4Judges.

Best regards,

Henry

Motivation in New Hampshire

March is Planned (Wear J.A.I.L. T-shirts!)

The following email was forwarded to J.A.I.L. by our newest JAILer of New Hampshire, Charles R. Johnson at nhvoiceofliberty@..., and now appointed J.A.I.L. Warden for Sullivan County NH. We of course have added Carmen to their team. The spirit she expresses below is something to be shared with all our people. -Barbie-

Look up, and make copies of J.A.I.L, as I have been doing, and have meetings with your friends and neighbors. Tell them what you know, the problems, illegal activities, and show them the solution. "J.A.I.L."

Subject: I second the motion

I am in total agreement, statutory law, when passed by tyrants and despots,... while totally ignoring the limitations of our Bill of Rights, are to be considered null and void laws. The Rights of personal security, and the rights of property, are God given Rights, (inalienable rights), not to be legislated away. Mr. Johnson, You name the date to march on the Statehouse, or the court, and I will be there. I can get many people to join me, (probably in the hundreds) with enough time to plan this....

We have tried petitions, calling and mailing our representatives, and voting in
this manufactured democracy, all to no avail. It is time for we in the know to start educating our neighbors, and taking matters into our own hands. It has become blatantly apparent, our representatives believe that we live in a democracy, where the majority rules, and it doesn't matter who's rights get trampled, as long as the laws they pass appear on their face to be for the common good.

Unfortunately for them more and more people are becoming aware that we ARE a Constitutional Republic of Law, and the law we are referring to is the law that limits what laws they are allowed to pass! Look up, and make copies of J.A.I.L, as I have been doing, and have meetings with your freinds and neighbors. Tell them what you know, the problems, illegal activities, and show them the solution. "J.A.I.L."

With enough people at one time marching on the Capitol, we will have a better chance of being heard. You are not alone, people ARE angry, they just don't know why, or how this could happen in our country. And they are right, it shouldn't, it takes criminal activity, usurpation of power, and over-stepping the authority delegated them through the Constitution to create the problems we have today.

They didn't happen all at once, but we CAN eliminate ALL UNConstitutional Law with the J.A.I.L. initiative. If we focus on one individual, the big cheese,(right now that would be Miss Shaheen) and accuse her of illegal activity, and force her to address the issue by reminding her that we are willing to march again and again, peacefully, at first, until they begin to obey the laws that
govern their actions.

The U.S. Constitution, and our State Constitutions are not to be ignored. They are there for a reason; and that reason is to prevent the messes we are stuck with today. Now is the time to do something. I'm sure if we put our heads together, and invited the heads of some organizations like, Caire, NHMRO, the NHLP, the Elks, Moose, VFW, etc) we can get thousands organized for a march in no time! It will take work, but it can be done!

We must remain optimistic. Pessimism is what we have run on for over 70 years, and look at where we are now. I invite you now to be a taker! Let's organize our best speakers and go over presentation material. The ball is in our court. Do we run with it or drop it? The choice is ours. I will take the fight to the inside as well if and when I'm elected to NH Senate, dist.2. It just takes the dedication of a few to light the fire of many. What do you say?

Yours in Liberty,

It's The BAR! It's The Bar!

"This is for your perusal and comment. I believe we must WHIP the BAR, first and foremost. At the root of all evil and oppression lies the (U.N.) American BAR Association, whose members are Conspirators on a grand
scale. As a matter of fact, I state emphatically that the BAR is THE prime
and most pervasive Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization ever to infest American soil."

- Wayne Blanchard, Sui Juris wayne_rb@...

J.A.I.L. constantly receives pronouncements such as the above, encouraging us to refocus our efforts at BAR members as the prime target. Some of our otherwise allies have forsaken J.A.I.L. because "we just will never learn."

One of our own, Henry Nicolle, a J.A.I.L. Warden, and a California Associate JAILer-In-Chief, and the National J.A.I.L. Webmaster General, likewise has been bombarded with this outcry, and he responds as per below. (Slight editorial liberty has been taken.) -Ron Branson

~~~~~~~~

I receive a lot of notes asking that I endorse, comment on, or study theories explaining why we are in the mess we are in today. Since I've been in a JAIL4Judges writing mode for a couple days, I am taking this opportunity to address the "BAR" conspiracy message, because my answer is the same for most of the conspiracies that can be conjured from the dregs of American history, commerce and politics. The final answer is that the claims of conspiracy may as well all be true. So What? Our individual and social self-determination starts, continues or ends with us... and so with each new generation.

The errors of the past end with corrective actions by us, personally and individually, today; or they will continue unabated by our personal inaction. This is what we pursue with JAIL4Judges... correction and action.

Regardless of the influence of members of the BAR or their association
with our governing institutions, they do not make the law, nor do they
judge the law. These duties fall within our sole authority as the Citizens who
have created our governments. We merely delegate power to exercise authority in these matters to our institutional representatives and courts. The various BARs are subordinate legal entities, the creations of some law or other.

The problem attributed to the BAR (which could be equally applied to any
professional or political association) is not properly laid at the feet of the BAR, but should rightfully be placed on the heads of corrupt public officials. Any personal association they may have with the BAR is
insubstantial.

The BAR is the beneficiary of corrupt officials, not the origin of the crime. BAR and other associations are therefore paper tigers.

JAIL4Judges advocates have studied these problems and we believe that at
the core of our Constitutional Republic foundation, we omitted the critical
control feature of Citizen control. Once we authorize representation, we
have little control over its exercise. The JAIL4Judges proposal attacks
the root of the problem, which is lack of personal accountability by judicial
officers.

I will explain.

The JAIL4Judges advocates contend that at the heart of our numerous
governing problems, we have a sound foundation for self-government, but
that our government actors have used the two hundred-odd years of our common complacency to subvert our presumptions of self-governing and to presume powers not granted to them.

In our concept of self government, there are several distinct and fundamental features:

1. The People are the true sovereign. The "People" are the Citizens of the
states.

2. Our governments, without exception, are constitutional republics. There
is not a true democracy among the lot of them.

3. The functions of our governments are defined and the lawful powers for
their exercise are limited by the terms of our constitutions. What powers we
have not delegated, we have implicitly withheld or positively denied.

4. Representatives, some laws, some taxes and some policies are selected
and directed by the People.

5. If the individuals who represent and act for the People abuse their
delegations of authority, the People have various institutional remedies for
discipline or removal of the offenders.

6. If, in the opinion of the People, institutional remedies are insufficient, the sole direct remedy by the people is to select another candidate for that office at a periodic election, or in some local instances, to stand a special elective recall to remove or replace a specific official.

7. Misconduct by the great majority of government actors is separated from
any direct ability of the People to intervene.

8. All executive, legislative, judicial, criminal, civil, commercial, private and political controversies find their final institutional conclusions in our courts.

9. Our judicial officers, to maintain judicial independence, are unaccountable directly to the People.

Item 9 is where the rubber meets the road.

If judicial actors (as we know from our practical experience) are immune from political accountability, they are also immune to personal accountability for misconduct. This we now observe to be the fact. We also note that petty opportunists, such as the BAR and various other "professional" associations are be quick to exploit the personal weaknesses and failings of judicial officers.

Therefore, we propose to strike at the root of the problem. JAIL4Judges
proposes that we bring judicial officers to account directly to their constituents for perceived misconduct when institutional remedies fail. If the judges are forced to obey the standards as enforced by the People, the offenders of the BAR and other abusers of the public authority cannot stand. The judiciary will not condone them. Improper political and institutional influence must fail when the People judge the judges. If the judiciary is properly instructed and well disciplined, it is inevitable that the remainder of governing actors will be so managed and obedient to the People's will and guidance.

When office holders betray their public trust, when they act under the color of law, or otherwise engage in misconduct in the exercise of delegated powers, it is the individual who must be disciplined. Government can harm no person, except by the acts of people acting in government. It is the duty of the People to act to preserve their ultimate authority by removing Rebellious or inept servants.

The essence and function of the JAIL4Judges proposal is to bring the
efficiency of direct Citizen review to controversial behavior in the judiciary, and by this direct review, provide a final and powerful review of all government acts, regardless of machination for circumvention of the
Citizens by our representatives, officials and employees.

It is my hope that the citizenry will reconsider their focus of discontent and place the onus where it properly belongs. Criminals are opportunists. Where there is power without personal repercussion, there is opportunity for corruption. Where there is corruption and power there is opportunity for exploitation. Remove the corrupt actors from our institutions and there will remain little opportunity for questionable behavior by the BAR or any others who may be tempted by corrupt opportunity.

Henry Nicolle
staff@...

Not in a spirit of boastfulness, but in the spirit of humility in propagating truth, J.A.I.L. is the only political organization that strikes a single blow at the heart of the problem -- accountability of the judiciary to a pure open citizenry body.

It is for this reason we say, "J.A.I.L. is self-evident truth which cannot be denied!" It is for this very reason that J.A.I.L. is destined to become the organization of all organizations, the summation of all causes, and the standard of maintaining all standards! "It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it."

Tension Rises In Hawaii!

A Man's Home is His Castle

Where The Bill of Rights May Be Enforced:

"NO TRESPASSING"

April 11, 2002

WAILUA BEACH, HI. -- George Peabody, the libertarian candidate for governor of Hawaii, said "NO Trespassing" to the fascist State government

when they threatened to force entry onto his home property at Waialua Beach last week.

Attorney John Rapacz, working on contract for the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) with at least three others, did not notify Peabody that he had arrived from Maui and Honolulu that morning. They suddenly appeared in many vehicles, including three police cars, DLNR trucks, several unmarked cars, with at least three uniformed males carrying guns, and two plain-clothed police officers, plus two other unknown men, apparently in an effort to force entry onto Peabody's property.

Peabody was ready for anything since being threatened with home invasion by the DLNR. However, apparently the "No Trespassing" signs he and his wife Susan posted on the gates earlier, convinced them to abort their threatened invasion of private property, and to stay on the public areas. Tension was high for Peabody facing the unknown actions with nearly a dozen people with surveillance cameras on the highway side. None

attempted to contact Peabody or identify themselves, or to inform him of their intentions.

Peabody said he believes the state's DLNR is trying to terrorizing him, and is seeking to extort $2.5 million in accumulated fines for the past three years. They want to take his home under what he says is "color of law."

He is being threatened by the Board of Land Natural Resources, who has been imposing fines upon him at the rate of $60,000 per month since

1999. "We have been illegally and unconstitutionally persecuted by the

despicable racketeering, corrupt and criminal executive, judicial, and legislative officials and agents of the State of Hawaii," he said, "government has a moral obligation to obey the Constitution and the Bill of Rights which

all government agents must respect, or are guilty of treason." Where this tension will end is anyone's guess.

Because our judicial system is not working, everyone's property is now potentially at risk. All governments are finding a windfall profit in coming up with all kinds of contrivances to take properties from the owners by pretext. Accounts are coming into J.A.I.L. about every kind of means being used to grab property. Right now another hot issue is a church congregation in Cypress, CA. being faced with the city council taking their church property for a Costco store, arguing they can make more revenue from a Costco business than they can a church. (For further info, contact Pastor Wiley Drake, wileydrake@....

J.A.I.L. will stop all government land grabs in there tracks, once passed. It is time for everyone to realize that passage of J.A.I.L. is an emergency measure, and like a fire, it cannot be afforded delay!

J.A.I.L. News Journal

The Ripple-Down Effect of J.A.I.L.

(by Henry Nicolle, warden@...)

THE CAUSE:

The JAIL4Judges proposal does not address collateral problems directly. But the effect of JAIL4Judges Special Grand Juries is poison to misconduct and shackles on malfeasance in every office, judicial or otherwise.

JAIL4Judges addresses only the unlawful, unethical and inept acts of judicial officers, holding them personally accountable where our existing remedies fail.

In a Special Grand Jury action, accused judges are presumed to have absolute immunity so long as they act fully within the constraints of the Constitution, the laws and ethics. When judges are called before a Special Grand Jury, that immunity is in question.

If a complainant can document the misconduct to the satisfaction of the Special Grand Jury, the individual judge is now personally accountable to the Citizens, without the benefit of the state's resources, without the benefit of a friendly county counsel, Attorney General, or district attorney, and without the benefit of his robe and personal bailiff. He stands before the Special Grand Jury AS A CITIZEN BEFORE HIS PEERS! At the pleasure of the Special Grand Jury, the individual who has been accused of abandoning his immunity as a public officer may face civil or criminal trial in the ordinary way. He has been stripped of his former "good ol' boy" assembly of veiled protections.

Now, ...regardless of the outcome of this particular encounter between a sitting judge, a complainant and a Special Grand Jury, consider the personal revelations of the remaining sitting judges, commissioners, magistrates, acting judges and judge pro-tems, ad nauseum.

What do you suppose their reaction will now be? What will be on their (now personally accountable) judicial minds when a former co-deputy District Attorney approaches in chambers or in the restroom and suggests that a particular defendant is a real problem and should be given the short-shrift at the next session, or at court when a prosecutor falsely claims a civil citation to be a "verified criminal misdemeanor complaint" (or it's equivalent)?

Will they consider the ramifications of being held to personal account for their acts before the Special Grand Jury? They know we won't be rehearing the case or second-guessing any particular opinion, that is for the existing institution to deal with. They know that what will be judged, is their conduct in obedience to the law, not their discretion; it will be their compliance with the canons of judicial ethics, not mere singular indiscretions.

The judges will know their traditional institutional friends cannot help or protect them or shield them when personally appearing before the Citizens review. In their minds and the minds of their judicial and prosecutorial peers, they now wear the aegis of suspicion of disgrace, the robeless exposure of the defrocked and the accused, just as those who have come before their bench in the past... damaged goods, regardless of the validity of the charges or the purity of the prosecution.

I do not think most judges will seek to test their ability to challenge a Special Grand Jury investigation or invite a possible prosecution for misconduct or corruption, alone, without their institutional companions. Under J.A.I.L. a judge cannot be defended at public expense. This indicates that the judiciary will become more cognizant of the Constitution, the law, and ethical appearance.

THE RIPPLE:

All other government actors will understand that they no longer can presume the protection of their institutional allies when their personal acts are challenged by a Citizen and the issue taken to court... where all of a sudden, the judges seem to be turning an unkindly eye to marginal arguments and implausible presumptions for fear of later facing personal accountability for acting outside their authority or beyond the law. The rational fear of the opinion of the Citizens is now a contending force, and no longer a chimera to be faced only at the ballot box in odd years.

Then, the ripple-through upsets the BAR association, and the police commission's internal investigations because these issues too will be ultimately taken to a court. There the good ol' boys protective associations and glee clubs will find still friendly, but now selfishly unsympathetic, ears of the prosecutors and the judges.

The magic stone is the return of the personal and direct touch of the opinion of the Citizens' panel which excludes elected and appointed state officials, members of the Bar, prosecutorial, judicial and law enforcement, and their employees. The final decisions of judicial conduct are exercised by the true sovereigns, the Citizens. Judicial good conduct then regulates the conduct of executive and legislative conduct and ensures the good operation of the bureaucracies. The circle, finally, is closed. The Citizens create their terms for governing, select and instruct their representatives, and, in the closing of the control loop, judge the judges who judge the rest. It is in this manner that everyone's life, limb, and property are made secure, hence providing "new guards for their future security."

It is enough to understand that the circle of Citizen self-government must be closed. If it remains broken as it is, at the judicial link, we will find that we are condemned to eternal consumerism and taxation.

Representation by election, but unrestrained between elections, is an invitation for rebellion by representatives against their constituents' instructions. The exercise of judicial power without personal accountability encourages collaborations of executive and legislative pretense, at the sole expense of the constituents.

The bureaucracies ebb and flow with the times, knowing that elected and appointed officials come and go like foreign marks at a cathouse... but with JAIL4Judges at work, who knows? Could it be that unlawful policies and bureaucracies can be challenged and... well, I didn't write this essay to frighten my friends down at the county center with concern for their careers and mortgages... but, maybe there is something to think about there. How far do ripples go, anyhow?

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: In 10 sentences or less, give me your best judge joke (please submit to me by Saturday at noon to assure it being aired and label it "HOTSEAT JOKE").

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

If you have any announcements, or regional or national organizational meetings which would benefit the listeners, let the people know on HotSeat4Judges (submit to me by Saturday at noon to assure it will be aired and label it "HOTSEAT ANNOUNCEMENT").

Saturday-Week, April 20, 2002:

Hold on to your Hotseats folks because our own Ron Branson will be interviewed. Need I say more? For those few who may not know Ron, he is the founder of JAIL4Judges. Needless to say, this should be a very interesting hour! Hear Ron's story and his vision for the judicial reform movement now and in the future.

Next Saturday, April 27, 2002:

We had technical difficulties so this is a rescheduled interview. I have the privilege of interviewing Ed Truncellito, former attorney in Texas (on suspension) and one of our own standing up for justice in spite of the consequences. Ed is a Texas Bar victim due to his stand against the system and the bar. Ed uncovered the Litigation Vortex Machine in an extraordinary way at his own peril. Hear how Ed petitioned the Texas "Supremes" on the no-fault divorce farce (opps--I mean law). Because of Ed's actions, he was fined several thousand dollars by the vortex. Then, Ed sued the Texas Bar for Rico violations for their part in the revenue-concious legal industry's abuse of the no-fault law. At that point, the Bar decided to get rid of Ed 's litigation against them by spinning Ed in the Litigation Vortex's "Double B-Triple C" (make him busy and broke, and labeled him as either a Criminal, a Conman or just plain Crazy). As some of you know, "Paranoid Delusional" is one of their favorite diagnoses for those who expose the truth. This is classic Vortex folks. See how it works and hear what Ed is doing now in his continuous fight for justice for all!

Following Week, May 4, 2002,

Caroline Douglas, attorney extraordinaire from New Hamphire will be my guest. Caroline Douglas has been a dynamo, exposing the corruption in the N. H. system. Caroline's story was the basis for the first episode of the popular TV series, "Family Law." Caroline, like Ed Truncellito, is paying a heavy price for her actions. Hear what Caroline has done and what she is doing for the movement now. I will be asking Caroline questions on her perspective of the "system" and how she has seen it work from the inside out.

Mark you calenders and join in on our own interactive radio program for the people. This is our voice! Let us be heard!

Thanks. Kennedy

"Give Me Liberty!"

It is so often that we are confronted with the argument that those of us who are JAILers just don't know how to use the legal system to acquire justice, and that if we will only say certain magical words, the judges will hear our pleas, and grant our redresses of grievances. To them we say, "The definition of insanity is to repeat the same tried actions, but expecting a different result."

The below is taken [and slightly altered] from Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty" speech.

Shall we try argument? We have been trying that for years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to continued entreaty and humble supplication in our courts? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted?

Let us not deceive ourselves. We have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the system, and have implored its interposition to arrest these tyrants. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded.

If we wish to be free-- if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable rights to which we have been so long contending-- if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long accustomed, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it sir, we must fight!

The only way to fight the system is from without the system, for to do otherwise is but a futile act. Any fool can learn from his own experience, but a wise man will learn from the experience of others. Absolutely ever forum of redress was touched upon prior to the creation of JAIL4Judges. Don't be a fool by trying to re-invent the wheel. Learn your lesson from the experience of another.

Protecting Our Liberty

(It is our DUTY)

[In response to Bruce Olley, Mississippi JAILer]:

Dear Bruce: bruceolley@...

Regarding what Liberty should mean to us

I believe that the People in this country should rely on the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence regarding what Liberty means to us. It is necessary, in an ordered society, for the People to establish a centralized national guardian to see that our Liberty is respected and protected against all evildoers, whether foreign or domestic. As a matter of nature, such protection cannot be accomplished on an individual basis in an ordered society-- meaning that we, the People, must live under a standard that is common to all. "With Liberty and Justice for ALL."

That national guardian is called a "government" in the Declaration. It has a specified purpose for being: To secure (protect) our rights --nothing else.

Among those rights is Liberty. Everything has a beginning point, and regarding Liberty we must accept the following premise set forth in the Declaration:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident [i.e., existential fact]

that all men are created equal
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights
that among these [rights] are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
[t]hat to secure [protect] these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...."

You quoted a definition of Liberty which states "It is a state of exemption from the control of others, and from positive laws and the institutions of social life. This liberty is abridged by the establishment of government." [Emphasis added] That definition indicates that it is impossible to have pure Liberty in an ordered society. Someone (it may have been Jefferson) said "Government at its best, is but a necessary evil." Another common saying is "That is the cost of civilization." As I recall, I've read that latter statement in court decisions, referring to the necessity of taxation.

The Declaration even covers the fact (truth) that the governed must forever be a guard over the guardian of our liberty, because government IS inherently evil and cannot be left entirely on its own (i.e., unaccountable to the People):

" ...that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [to secure our liberty], it is the right of the people ["the governed"] to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its power in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.... "

That portion brings out the truth that the governed have the right (indeed the DUTY, shown infra) to be a check on government of "any form," i.e., on all government, whatever it calls itself or claims itself to be. While this right is not to be exercised for "light and transient causes" and that "mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable," there does come a time when it becomes the DUTY of the governed to act, to wit:

".... But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them [our rights (Liberty)] under absolute despotism, it is their right, IT IS THEIR DUTY, [emphasis added] to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." [future protection of Liberty]

The proper exercise of that DUTY is conditioned upon:

1) A long period of time of abuse of government power (when evils are no longer "sufferable")

2) The same object invariably pursued by that abuse

3) A showing that such abuse is designed to reduce [indeed eliminate] our protected rights [e.g. our Liberty] under absolute despotism [i.e., unlimited power].

The People designed a set of rules for the purpose of limiting government power. It is titled the Constitution of the United States (small "u" or not, "of the" or "for the")-- the purpose is the same. As the Declaration states, "Whenever ANY FORM of government becomes destructive of these ends..."

That means whenever "the powers that be" operating AS government becomes destructive. Such power, whatever it calls itself, is limited by law-- the Supreme Law of the Land. "Let no more be heard of confidence in men, but rather bind them down by the chains of the Constitution." (Thomas Jefferson).

Going back to the conditions for the People to act upon their DUTY:

1. Long time (train of abuses) -- now more than 100 years

2. Pursuing invariably the same object -- disregarding the Constitution and laws made in pursuance thereof. (Most common- disregarding Due Process)

3. Violating our rights under absolute despotism -- ultimately by judicial

abuse of power.

In conclusion, Bruce, yes-- Liberty is abridged by government, but as long as the People keep a check on government and see to it that it protects our Liberty (and other rights) for which it is instituted to do, that evil or abridgement, will be "sufferable." The powers that be MUST be limited by the established Constitution, and the People have the DUTY to see to it that it operates within those limits. The conditions necessary to act upon that duty have certainly been met. The People now must "provide new guards for their future security."

J.A.I.L. meets that requirement!

Thanks for writing.

Greetings,

...

In the 1828 Webster's Dictionary there are 10 definitions of the word liberty
but one of them is peculiar:

"2. Natural liberty, consists in the power of acting as one thinks fit,
without any restraint or control, except from the laws of nature. "It is a
state of exemption from the control of others, and from positive laws and the institutions of social life. This liberty is abridged by the establishment of
government."

If we don't know what the right "Liberty" means to us personally, how can we proceed forward? How can we judge the judges? How can we inform the jury? How can we convince the electorate that a representative has breached the trust? How can we stop the creation of offices and officers sent to eat out our substance? Lord knows, we have National, State, and County legislative, executive, judicial, and martial powers all operating to the 3134 Counties of our nation of people! About 20 million of our brethren serve as
administrators, facilitators, intimidators, and incarcerators! There are 60
million statute laws but Counties enact no laws for a very specific reason.
If you don't know then you are a "Subject," as intended.

Subject: Jury Veto Power!

jail4judges@...

J.A.I.L. News Journal
____________________________________________________
Los Angeles, California April 25, 2002

The below is fundamental information in email form that every citizen should have, keep and pass on to others regarding their power as citizens when they are called upon to serve jury duty.

No citizen is obligated to follow, and indeed, quite the contrary, is duty-bound to ignore any judge's imposition of an oath to follow the law only as expounded to them by himself. This is jury tampering pure and simple, and leads to tyranny.

Such judicial oath must be treated precisely as if the judge ordered you to swear to become his permanent personal slave and be at his whimsical beckoned call whatever and whenever he wanted, no matter what, and then ordered you to abide by his forced oath upon you. An oath is a contract. Can one force you sign a contract and then order you to honor that contract? No, it is null and void by any theory of law. -Ron Branson

Jury Veto Power

America's Founders worried that the government they created might someday grow too powerful, and begin to pass laws which would violate the rights of the very people it was intended to protect: ordinary, peaceful, productive folks. But they kept an "ace in the hole", a trump card they believed citizens could use to hold this new, experimental government in check. That ace was the right to a trial by a jury of one's peers.

How a jury can restrain a government? The key is that juries can say "no" to
bad laws and to arbitrary and unjust prosecutions. It's true!

The Founders realized that the temptations of power and corruption would
eventually prove to be too much for any of the three branches of our
government to resist, let alone check and balance the other branches. They
knew that government "of, by and for the people" meant that the people would every so often have to roll up their sleeves and exert their authority, to act as the final check and balance on the whole system. Since law is the
main tool by which a government exerts its control, trusting juries of
ordinary citizens to veto the use of bad law was the logical choice.

So they provided for trial by jury--once in the Constitution, and twice more
in the Bill of Rights. In those days, it was part of the definition of the word "jury" that its members could judge the law as well as the evidence, and the judge would often remind them of this power. For example, if jurors found the law to be unjust or misapplied, or that the defendant's rights had been violated in bringing the him or her to trial, they would acquit for those reasons, despite good evidence.

In addition to veto power, our common law legal traditions also provide that
if a jury decides to acquit, its decision is final. A verdict of "not guilty" cannot be overturned, nor can the judge harass the jurors for voting for acquittal, or punish them for voting their consciences, even after making them swear to follow the law as given by the judge! And jurors may be asked, but cannot be obliged, to explain their verdicts.

These principles were subject to contention for centuries in England and the
British Empire as citizen jurors fought to assert their rights against the
power interests of the crown.

In 1670, William Penn was arrested in London for preaching a Quaker sermon, which broke a law establishing the Church of England as the only legal church. His jurors, led by Edward Bushell, refused to convict him, despite being held for days without food, water, tobacco or toilet facilities--and then fined. The most defiant four of them refused to pay the fine and were then put in prison for nine weeks.

The highest court of England, upon releasing them, both acknowledged and
established that trial jurors could not be punished for their verdicts.
Recognition of our freedoms of religion, peaceable assembly and speech thus all trace to the exercise of jury power, wielded by a jury unintimidated by government judges.

In colonial America, the sedition trial of John Peter Zenger established
another landmark case. Zenger, a publisher, was arrested for printing news
critical of the Royal Governor of New York Colony and his cronies, accusing
them of corruption. His accusations were all true, but the court informed
his jury that under the law, "...truth is no defense".

"Philadelphia lawyer" Andrew Hamilton then told the jurors the story of
William Penn, and argued that as judges of the merits of the law, they
should not in good conscience convict Zenger of violating such a bad law.
The jurors agreed. Zenger was acquitted in about fifteen minutes, and his
case spawned recognition of our right to a free press.

Cases like these therefore were part of the political heritage of the
Founders, which may explain why they so appreciated jury power.

John Adams said it so well in 1771 that the Fully Informed Jury Association
(FIJA) put his words on a coffee mug: "It is not only...[the juror's] right,
but his duty... to find the verdict according to his own best understanding,
judgment, and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of
the court."

First U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay, writing in Georgia v.
Brailsford, 1794, concluded: "The jury has the right to judge both the law
as well as the fact in controversy".

President Thomas Jefferson in 1789 told Thomas Paine: "I consider trial by
jury as the only anchor yet devised by man, by which a government can be
held to the principles of its constitution."

And Noah Webster, who wrote his original 1828 dictionary in order to
preserve the integrity of the language of the Constitution, defined "petty
jury" as "...consisting usually of twelve men [who]...attend courts to
decide both the law and the fact in criminal prosecutions".

A detailed historical analysis of jury veto power, also called jury
nullification of law, appeared in the Yale Law Review in 1964. It held that
"The right of the jury to decide questions of law was widely recognized in
the colonies. In 1771, John Adams stated unequivocally that a juror should
ignore a judge's instruction on the law if it violates fundamental
principles: There is much evidence of the general acceptance of this
principle in the period immediately after the Constitution was adopted."

However, during the next century, judges began chipping away at this vital
and fundamental right of free citizens, thereby transferring citizen power
to themselves. The biggest "chip" or usurpation took place in 1895, when in
Sparf and Hansen v. U.S., a bitterly split decision by our Supreme Court
held that failure of the judge to remind the jurors of their powers was not
a basis for mistrial or appeal. That was the green light for trial judges to
go mum on the topic, and they did.

That is why very few lawyers or law professors, only some judges, and
practically no school teachers know about jury veto power: it's "not part of
the curriculum". Few history books give juries the credit they're due--for
stopping the Salem witch trials, for overturning slavery in state after
state before the Civil War, and for ending Prohibition--all by refusing to
convict because they thought the law itself was wrong.

These days, trial by jury often doesn't accomplish all that it should. And
the usurpation continues: trial judges now falsely tell jurors that their
only job is to decide if the "facts" are sufficient to convict, and that if
so, they "should" or "must" convict. Defense attorneys can face contempt of court charges if they urge jurors to acquit if they think the law is
unconstitutional or unjust. And self-defenders are usually stopped and
rebuked if they even mention their motives, or why they disagree with the
law, to the jury.

Yet to this day, trial jurors retain the right to veto, or "nullify" bad
laws, though they are rarely told this by the courts. Prosecutors and judges
try to exclude people from serving on juries who admit knowing they can
judge the law, or who have doubts about the justice of the law. This
destroys the protections jurors were supposed to be able to invoke on behalf of fellow citizens against unjust prosecutions: how can our right to a trial by an impartial jury be met if those with any qualms about the law are
excluded from serving?

The fact is, it cannot. Jury selection has degenerated into a jury-stacking
contest between the attorneys and judge involved. And then, if those who
survive the selection process bring in a verdict that the community does not
like, who gets the blame?

Worse, after enough verdicts have disappointed or angered enough people, the politicians move in for the kill, arguing that the "jury system needs
reform". By that they mean stripping even more power from the jury, using
juries in fewer and fewer kinds of cases, allowing verdicts to be reached by
a super-majority instead of a unanimous vote, replacing ordinary citizens
with government-licensed professional jurors, etc.

Beware! All such reforms will lead only to a still more powerful government,
and a less powerful citizenry. Justice would come to mean whatever the
government says it means, and the people would be left with no peaceful
method of controlling government tyranny.

That is why it is time to act. It is time to share what you now know about
the real role and power of the jury, especially with someone who has been
summoned for jury duty. Show that person this article, or invite him/her to
visit the Jury Power Page--before visiting the courthouse.

If you want to speed up this vital national educational effort, download one
or more of the camera-ready documents available from the Jury Power Page,
duplicate them, and get them into the hands of prospective jurors. This can
be done by handing them out in front of your local courthouse on jury
selection days. Or, they can be mailed to the local jury pool.

Or, you can focus all your effort on one day--the jury selection day nearest
to September 5. Several state governors have already proclaimed this date to be "Jury Rights Day", in honor of the jury acquittal of William Penn. And
you can join the organization which started the modern jury power movement, the Fully Informed Jury Association [FIJA], by phoning its toll-free information line, 1-800-TELL-JURY.

If you really want to get active, post one or more trials on the Jury Power
Page Trial Directory. List the trial or trials that you know about in which
you think the jury is going to need to know about its veto power if justice
is to be served. When a trial is posted, others will learn about it, and
perhaps show up to leaflet, or help you with a mailing, or demonstrate, or?

The farther and faster the truth about jury veto power spreads, the more
likely are you and your children to enjoy the American promise of "liberty
and justice for all".

On Becoming a JAILer

Good tips from Sherree Lowe, Florida JAILer-In-Chief

sherree@...

Becoming a JAILer will be an experience, and you will know what is going on all over the country, and you will be part of history in the making.

--Sherree Lowe--

[Excerpts from Sherree, welcoming a new Florida JAILer]:

Form your own group, get friends, relatives involved with you. I will send you the J.A.I.L. flyer and business card format; just add your name, and contact information. Get the flyers and cards out, pass them out at court houses, churches, businesses, shopping centers, where ever people are. We want J.A.I.L. to be familiar to every man, woman and teenager in this state!

Get people to talk to you, find out about the judges in your county, who is suspected of corruption, who is a good judge, bad judge....watch the papers for articles on the judiciary in your county, start collecting cases, and media articles. If you have questions, ask me, or Ron, we will get back to you ASAP.

When you get into this, you will find, "I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet!" --meaning, you have no idea how deep the problem extends. But if one person does what he can, and is joined by another doing what they can, it is like a puzzle. First you find the outside edges, separate the colors, and begin putting the sections together. After a while you are down to a few pieces, and think you have got missing pieces. Then you look on the floor, and wow! some had slipped off the table. Ron has put the edges together, now we separate the colors, and put the counties to work, and before long we will have J.A.I.L. ready to show these corrupt judges who they have to answer to, when they choose to be GODS in Black Nighties!

This is a do-able thing, if we all get busy and do it, it is not too late. At the present time, J.A.I.L. is known to many of the representatives and senators, and even more of the judges, --they know we are out here.

I have been in front of many courthouses, and as long as we carry the bill of rights, and let them know that we know we have the right to peaceful assembly, and freedom of speech, as long as we are polite, well mannered, and go about our business handing out flyers and chatting in small groups, carrying our posters, walking and not obstructing entrances and driveways, or stopping traffic, we have had no problems. In fact, we have been met with respect from courthouse employees and police officers. They have even taken our flyers into the courthouses.

I have taken flyers to the town hall meetings and left them in the information areas; and to places where they have brochures for tourist attractions, and placed them there. We also go sit in the court rooms and sit in on cases; but we never discuss the cases, unless the parties ask us to listen to them. Then we question, to try to understand what is happening.

...

Our group does not give legal counseling, but we do try to support each other, and there are members of J.A.I.L. who [as individuals] will try to answer questions of legal nature.

The primary goal is to get this Amendment passed in every state. Once this comes into being, we will see the system change, and have a shot at justice again in our court system. Becoming a JAILer will be an experience, and you will know what is going on all over the country, and you will be part of history in the making.

...

Perhaps because of us, others may be spared the grief, heartache, loss of property, family, false imprisonment and the fraud will be stopped.

We support honest judges, and go after the bad ones!

A Simple Solution Called J.A.I.L.

Although the following article was sent to J.A.I.L. by Ron Loeber, Lt.JIC, New York J.A.I.L. last January, it is still as true today as it was when written. Sorry for the delay, however we are under an avalanche of emails and it's only getting worse as J.A.I.L. continues to grow by geometric proportions. We don't complain about the growth, only about our inability to keep up with it.

We're doing our best. Thanks for your patience Ron.

-Barbie-

Isn't all of this just more reason for a simple solution called J.A.I.L.?

--Ron Loeber, valortoo@...

the censure of Judge Recant

Below is the NY Law Journal report, sent to us by one of our JAILers, of the censure of a Manhattan Criminal Court Judge. Read it carefully. What do you think would happen to you or me if, in our dealings with persons appearing as government, we conducted ourselves in a manner that was "coercive" and against the law? When is the last time you coerced a judge or a cop... or your legislator?

Below the NY Law Journal report is the direct link to the website of the Commission on Judicial Conduct's actual censure of Judge Recant. Please take the time to open the link and read carefully what it says. When you do, please take particular notice of the paragraph which says, "...the Administrator of the Commission, respondent and respondent's counsel entered into an Agreed Statement of Facts... stipulating that the Commission make its determination based upon the agreed facts, jointly that respondent be censured and waiving further submissions and oral argument". [Emphasis added]

Look up "stipulation" in a law dictionary. Then look up "agreement" and other related "legal words". Then think about it. Didn't the accused (the judge) and our supposed watchdog (the Commission) admit to us that they entered into a contract for their own mutual benefit? Isn't that what they are telling us with their fine fancy words and the use of sophistry? What about all the facts upon which there was no agreement? Why didn't they try those facts? Didn't the accused, by contract, fix her own punishment? Or do we misunderstand and this is simply a case where not only do judges, and those protecting them, enjoy the Divine Right of Kings... but also have the Divine insight and wisdom of a Deity?

If the Commission on Judicial Conduct only disciplines a judge for those facts upon which the judge agrees in a Complaint made by a citizen and does not pursue the facts upon which the judge and citizen disagree, then why does a judge agree to anything? Does any of this make sense? Anyone got any ideas?

Well... the answer is real cute. We're not sure what the name of the game they are playing is called, but we have discovered some of the rules. Believe it or not, if a judge agrees with a factual allegation in a complaint to the Commission on Judicial Conduct but does not agree with the rest of factual allegations in the complaint, the case is closed with a slap on the hand and there is no appeal... BY ANYONE. Do you understand what we are saying folks? Do you understand the implications?

Applying that same unique principal to history, if Butch Cassedy and the Sundance Kid had merely admitted to the fact that they were in a bank at the time it was robbed and the teller shot... they would have been okay. Think what someone could do with that who was absent integrity and honor. They wouldn't have to work for a living and their enemies would be dead.

What do you think would have been the outcome if the people adjudicating the Complaint and making the decision were those who "...have attained to the age of thirty years, and have been nine years a citizen... and have been an inhabitant... for two years immediately prior to having his/her name drawn. Those not eligible... shall include elected and appointed officials, members of the State Bar, judges (active or retired), judicial, prosecutorial and law enforcement personnel, without other exclusion except previous adjudication of mental incapacity, imprisonment, or parole from a conviction of a felonious crime against persons."

Isn't all of this just more reason for a simple solution called J.A.I.L.?

Judge Recant Censured for Abuse of Judicial Power
By Tom Perrotta ~ New York Law Journal ~ December 13, 2001

Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Donna G. Recant was censured Wednesday by the Commission on Judicial Conduct for abuse of judicial power and attempting to coerce guilty pleas.

The commission said that in numerous cases in 1998 and 1999, Judge Recant, 45, "violated well-established ethical standards" and "acted in a manner that was coercive, discourteous and contrary to law." The commission also found that the judge had a private conversation with a prosecutor's supervisor and improperly dismissed attorneys from her courtroom. Judge Recant's attorneys, Michael S. Ross, a private practitioner, and Milton Mollen, of Herrick, Feinstein, said the judge would accept the commission's ruling. The attorneys said the judge had no further comment. The commission noted three instances in which Judge Recant tried to use bail to coerce defendants to plead guilty to crimes.

In one case, she set bail at $500 although the prosecution had not requested it. When the defendant's attorney objected and asked why the judge was setting bail, Judge Recant replied: "Because the way I see it is because he won't plea. That's why."

On another occasion, the judge called the supervisor of an assistant district attorney into her chambers and explained in private that the attorney had erred in the way he tried to introduce evidence into a case. The supervisor later asked the attorney how his case was going and arranged for a more experienced attorney to review some rules with him.

The supervisor did not tell the attorney about her conversation with the judge, and the commission found that the judge was not aware that the supervisor later approached the attorney. The attorney was later allowed to introduce evidence of a defendant's prior conviction.

Two times the judge ordered an attorney out of her courtroom, one time saying: "You're excused. Leave the courtroom as soon as we are done with this. Don't come back." The attorney, a member of the 18-B panel that represents indigent defendants, had declined a plea offer made to her client
because she said she had not been given enough time to consult with the client.

The commission illustrated Judge Recant's mistreatment of those who appeared in her courtroom by recounting a conversation she had with a defendant whose children were causing a disturbance. After telling the defendant that her courtroom was not a place for children, the judge told the defendant that she did not like the defendant's attitude, and said, "I don't want to hear anything out of your mouth."

When the woman objected to the judges language, the judge had her moved to the bench where prisoners were seated until the woman's lawyer arrived. The woman was handcuffed while sitting on the bench, but the commission said the judge did not witness the woman being handcuffed because she had gone to call the woman's lawyer.

The judge was also cited for her treatment of a defendant's mother, who was chewing gum in the courtroom. When the judge told the woman to "stop with the gum," a defense attorney told the judge that the woman did not speak English.

Judge Recant replied this was not her "problem," and that if the woman wanted to come to an American courtroom, she could learn to speak English or leave.

Other Incidents
Judge Recant has had other altercations with defendants and defense attorneys that were not raised by the commission in its opinion. In April 1999, the judge sentenced a Legal Aid lawyer to 10 days in jail for contempt of court, after the lawyer failed to apologize for a rude remark. The lawyer was handcuffed to a bench for more than an hour and held in custody for four hours until the judge's sentence was stayed (NYLJ, April 5, 1999).

About 75 Legal Aid lawyers gathered in the judge's courtroom after the incident. A week later the Office of Court Administration began to investigate threatening remarks made about the judge by unidentified Legal Aid attorneys (NYLJ, April 12, 1999).

Judge Recant's term in the bench expires in December 2005. Seven members of the commission concurred on the censure ruling. One member did not participate and two others were not present for the proceeding. The finding marks the second time this week that the commission has reprimanded a judge. On Tuesday, the commission also recommended censure of Westchester Supreme Court Justice John P. DiBlasi.

'Living in a police state'

By JOHN WISELY and STEPHEN W. HUBER,

The Oakland Press,

Pontiac, Michigan

The state Legislature has given police power to search your home without telling you why. Two new laws, which took effect Monday as part of anti-terror efforts, also shield from public scrutiny the reasons for police searches. Defense lawyers and civil libertarians are outraged at the laws, which make search warrants and supporting documents such as affidavits non-public records. "If you think the police did secretive work before, just wait," defense attorney William Cataldo said. "It gives more power to the ignorant and more power to those who would take your rights." Defense lawyer Walter Piszczatowski said: "This is nuts, this is beyond nuts. "What happened to the Fourth Amendment? We're living in a police state."

That means the public, the press, and in some cases even the person accused of the crime, can't know why the police entered a home without permission. Under previous laws, the records were public, unless a judge ordered them sealed for a specific reason. In federal courts, that remains the case. But now, search warrants in state courts are automatically closed to public view.

"I think this is absolutely unconstitutional," said Dawn Phillips, a First Amendment lawyer with the Michigan Press Association. "We objected to it at the time. This thing passed like greased lightning."

The House portion of the bill passed unanimously and the Senate version passed 27-8. The chief sponsor of the bill in the state senate was Shirley Johnson (R-Royal Oak) while Bill Bullard (R-Highland Township) was a cosponsor. In the state House, Nancy Cassis (R-Novi) was among 20 sponsors. ....

Legislature Responds

Lawmakers defending secret warrants

By JOHN WISELY,

The Oakland Press

April 25, 2002

Local legislators are defending two new laws that limit public access to court documents.

The laws, which took effect this week, stop the public from gaining access to search warrants and affidavits. It deems them nonpublic records.

Lawmakers - who unanimously voted for the measures in the Senate and House of Representatives - said the laws protect crime victims, informants and witnesses from criminals and the media. ....

The bills were part of an anti-terrorism package that passed the Legislature after the Sept. 11 attacks. ....

Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

You have indicated you are interested in cases where there has been
injustices committed by a corrupt judge. The judge in this report is
notorious for his bad decisions and has a pattern history. Not only has he
further, "Victimized repeatedly the victims" but in his, infinite wisdom
Court Ordered the Violence Victim to pay (garnished) her S.S. Disability to
the Perpetrator. Worldwide in many Cultures, there is no judge who would
accept such a cruel situation!! And furthermore this devoted Sole caregiver
Mother is now, neither allowed to visit nor to see her Beloved child!
"Guilty of no crime law compliant". That's an inhuman situation!!! This case
should give you a lot to write about. J.A.I.L....please help this vital cause.

Mother and Child abused by the power of a Judge!

Nicholson vs Nicholson
Cook County Illinois #92-D18247, 92CO 00410
FL# Appeals #97-2003

Sila Hernandez Nicholson and her minor daughter were treated unhumanly in the
Court of Florida by Judge Lawrence Korda. He has perpetrated fraud upon his
Court as evidence to obstruct justice of her Constitutional rights.

Either he was not aware of the severity of abuse to this mother, and child
or, he took advantage of a young lady who was born in Colombia and was not
aware of all the legal ramifications of the laws of our country. One reason
that he was blind to the abuse is the fact that he refused to review her
ex-husband's domestic violence history from Illinois, Regardless, he should
be held accountable for all the heartache and agony, the destruction of lives
and financial ruin, he has put this mother and child through. As of this
date, they are still separated, absolutely innocent of any crime, but have
been victimized by the Court.

Sila Hernandez Nicholson lived in an abusive marriage with a man who not only
abused her but their daughter as well. And yet, this judge awarded full
custody of child to him after knowing all he had done to them. The daughter
was taken from Sila, who had primary custody since birth. While, Sila held
Active Order of Protection against husband's violence, on Mother's day 1997,
the police, forcibly broke into Sila's house and forcibly kidnapped her 7
years old child. Police failed to protect domestic violence victim, per VAWA
Act. Mother was ordered to pay this able bodied man 70% of her Disability SS
check for child support, which was further punishment unwarranted.

I trust that you may be able to see some justice restored in the state of
Florida by exposing this judge and his cruelty to a helpless law abiding
innocent mother and child.

Sincerely,

Victim Advocates
Fallbrook, CA 92028

TIME   LINE

The Nicholsons were married August 31, 1990 then on May 11, 1992, Mr.
Nicholson abandoned mother and daughter after abusing them both. Mrs.
Nicholson was given extended order of protection by Court and filed for
divorce December 1992 for mental, emotional cruelty and physical abuse and
was awarded primary custody of daughter.

However, she reconciles with her husband, after he pleaded with her. She
felt compelled to try again for the daughter's sake and didn't want to deny
her of a father's relationship.

December 1995, they moved to Florida and August 1996, the abuse started all
over again. Mr. Nicholson removed $80,000 from their joint bank account,
leaving only $60.00 for mother and daughter, with no explanation.

September 1996, Mrs. Nicholson got order of protection and filed for divorce
because of assaults and threats from husband and girlfriend. In October, her
doctors requested "emergency out of state relocation" in the best interest of
Mrs. Nicholson and her daughter. Judge Lawrence Korda denied this request
and locks mother and daughter (violence victims) into the same city and state
with perpetrator.   This is a grave violation of the VAWA Act Protection of
Survivors, Mother&Children, of Domestic Violence Incorporated May 8, 1958,
and honored by the Justice Department.

Judge tells mother, "Tough, get over it, learn to live homeless and destitute
in Florida. Guess what, you aren't going nowhere. And get use to seeing
your husband with his new lovers and teach your daughter to see her father
with his new significant others because as of today, I am awarding the
respondent weekend visitations at his girlfriend's house. I am warning you,
if you don't take the child to the police station to hand over to the
respondent today, I will imprison you and take your child away. Am I clear
on that? --- Motion is denied."

Mrs. Nicholson and her daughter are forced to live in a drug and
violence-infested apartment complex; however, she sold all her personal
assets and bought a house in a family oriented community for her daughter's
sake. On November 1996 she presented deed of newly purchased 3 bedroom home
to Judge Korda. He was not, pleased with Sila's goodfaith action.

November, 1996, Thanksgiving - husband returns child from visitation and
commits assault and battery "hit and run" on mother while child witnessed in
car. Still with, "Active Order of Protection", nothing was done about this.

November 19th to May 10, 1997, Mrs. Nicholson obtained a new lawyer who
proved gross negligence by a previous attorney who was handling the case.
All court rule procedures required in a divorce proceeding were ignored,
including pre-trial equitable distribution and final hearing with absolutely
no notice, service or response to petitioner. As a direct consequence, on
Mother's Day, 1997 at Court Hearing, the guardian ad litem declares husband
an "unfit father" and there is no emergency to the child who is with her
mother, and states that she is not ready to go to trial , because she had
not visited husband's girlfriend's home yet. Judge Korda denied motion and
trial proceeded without the presence of Mrs. Nicholson. This would not have
prejudiced the respondent at all if a Continuance had been granted.

On the same day, 9 policemen forcibly broke into Mrs. Nicholson's home. They
didn't knock, have warrant, no Miranda rights but ransacked her home,
handcuffed guests visiting from abroad, and forcibly and illegally abducted
her daughter, while she screamed in sheer terror for her mother. No notice,
service nor right to disclosure appeal for re-hearing or appeals court was
given Mrs. Nicholson by Judge Korda. This was a violation of due process and
family court procedures.

Judge Korda awarded custody of daughter to Mr. Nicholson, a known abusive
father and husband, along with 70% of Mrs. Nicholson's SS Disability income
for child support. This left Mrs. Nicholson, who couldn't work because of
her disability, "below poverty level" to face foreclosure.

June 3, 1997, Mrs. Nicholson filed a timely Appeal with the West Palm Beach
Appeals Court for "gross violation of due process" of mother's and child's
rights.

October 1997, Mrs. Nicholson appeared in Court with 13 neighbors who
testified that the child had been inflicted with physical abuse, neglect and
parental alienation while living with her father for 8 months. This is a
cause for change of custody. However, Judge Korda becomes hostile --
overwhelmed by the Witness evidence and denies her an opportunity to show
evidence. This was in retaliation because Mrs. Nicholson filed an appeal
against Judge Korda. He orders Mrs. Nicholson to bond with your child for 1
hour a week in the "Sexual Pedophile Program" in supervised visits". This
was a ridiculous order the judge required of Mrs. Nicholson. Mrs.
Nicholson's attorney objected to this grotesquely, inappropriate, restrictive
visitations which was not supported by any evidence. Judge Korda denies
motion for relief. Therefore, on December 13, 1997, Mrs. Nicholson starts
her one hour visitation, where all criminals go to see their children when
they are released from prison. Even the Director of the program couldn't
understand why the judge had sent her there. Later, Mrs. Nicholson was
thrown out of the program because she and daughter were crying and praying in
Spanish. They were threatened, "you can only speak English."

January 1998, new guardian ad litems were assigned and who were less than
compassionate. They were verbally and emotionally abusive to mother and
daughter and threatened that they "would never be together again". In their
reports of Mrs. Nicholson and her daughter's visits, they belittled and
devaluated Mrs. Nicholson's maternal values of religious, Cultural and
traditional differences which were a vital part of her child's rearing since
birth - now 100% prohibited, including their native language.

February 1998. In collusion, Judge Korda and the guardian ad litem coerced
Mrs.Nicholson, who was under great stress, into an overnight court hearing
for a psychological evaluation. This was against court rules and procedures.
A court cannot force a victim of violence to a psychological evaluation in
order to use it against them to impede child visitations or determine
custody. Mrs. Nicholson's rights were violated and she was prohibited from
obtaining competent legal council. She was told if she did not comply, she
would not see her daughter again. Why should Mrs. Nicholson have to go
through an evaluation and the Respondent husband Mr. Nicholson, who was
abusive, did not? Judge Korda said, "The respondent would not be bothered
with none of this, Nonsense". However, a court procedure requires that a
respondent with an established abuse history and "any parties that the minor
child is exposed to should be psychologically evaluated" in the child's best
interest. This did not happen. Mrs. Nicholson's rights were again violated.

February 1998, Overnight Court appointed psychologist did a hostile character
assassination of Mrs. Nicholson, not supported by any evidence. This was
needed in collusion with the guardian ad litem and Judge Korda to violate a
law abiding devoted mother's parental rights.

June-Oct. 1998, Mrs. Nicholson files a motion to enforce parental rights.
Judge Korda denies motion.

September 9, 1998, Mrs. Nicholson Wins Appeal court ruling for gross
violations of due process and abuse of discretion and power by Judge Korda.
A trial proceeded. The guardian ad litem informed the court she was not
prepared to testify and there was no emergency to the child. The court
denied and the trial proceeded.

Final Appeals Mandate, case is reversed and remanded, all parties go back to
prior status quo and all relief is awarded to Mrs. Nicholson including
lawyer' fees. Mrs. Nicholson tried to enforce the mandate for a new trial
with a new judge.

October 9, 1998, in retaliation, Judge Korda, railroaded Mrs. Nicholson into
a second fraudulent divorce without her presence. At the time, she was in
Chicago, at the FBI Building, seeking help and her right to Enforce Final
Mandate of Appeals diligently seeking, competent legal counsel.

Mrs. Nicholson's attorney filed 18 page "Emergency Write of Prohibition"
motion of Violations, which was denied by Judge L. Korda.

Mrs. Nicholson's attorney filed "Motion to Recuse", denied by Judge Korda.

Mrs. Nicholson has been unlawfully prevented from seeing or contacting her
daughter for 5 years (May 1997 to present). She lost her only
home(foreclosed) which she purchased sacrificially for her daughter's
security and safety, because of expenses entailed in her effort to regain
custody of her child. Judge Korda further placed additional financial
pressure on Mrs. Nicholson when the court ordered her to give up 70% of her
SS Disability benefits, which put her "below poverty level - displaced".
Judge Korda did this "willfully knowing the financial destruction" that it
would cause Mrs. Nicholson life.

One of the biggest problems that new patriots face is not the array of
municipal corporations that masquerade as governments. It is not the IRS, or
the state police, or the bankers or the lawyers. The biggest problem we face is the attitude of the people in our lives that love us.

Whether it is the fact that folks just don't want to know that they are slaves to the Beast, or whether they cannot face the fact that they have been betrayed by a nation that they love, the people in our lives would rather think we have become insane than to see the real problem at hand.

I get this from time to time: "If you don't like it here, go somewhere else." Sorry, but this is the land of my birth, and it is not the fact that I do not think it is the most free nation on the face of the earth, rather it's a question of how free could the people of this nation be?

Stumpy has been trying to work with her family, but her family cannot come
to grips with reality. They refuse to believe that Stumpy can be right and
everything that they learned since kindergarten in the indoctrination centers that masquerade as public schools is wrong. I realize that her family is disraught over the prospect of Stumpy ending up in prison over this matter in Maryland. They see this as my fault. Perhaps they are correct. It is my fault that Stumpy has seen the true color of the Beast and has decided to do something about it.

I saw a statistic last week that says that 87% of the people would line up for a national ID card. This is without regard to the fact that no national ID card could have possibly prevented 9-11. The fact that so many of our loved ones are ready to accept the mark of the beast into their lives is staggering.

However, it is the growing of the other 13% into something a bit more on
the order of critical mass that concerns me. You see, Stumpy once thought I
was insane and wanted nothing to do with me. I told her that her disassociating herself from me would be MY loss, not hers. Eventually, she
opened her eyes and saw the Beast for what it is and took up the challenge
to battle the Beast in her own life.

Now if our loved ones could just let us get on with it. They can either lead, or follow, or get out of the way.

[Below] please find the kind of message that all of you will eventually read from the ones you love. [Below] also please find Stumpy's response.
Hopefully, the response demonstrates her love and affection for her dear
friend, and perhaps the dear friend will eventually see that she lives within the Matrix, and that she needs desparately to take the red pill.

My best to you and yours this day, B (Brad)

Bonnie:

I appreciate your concern, and I know that your thoughts stem only out of
love and concern for my well-being and happiness. I am grateful that you care enough to express your concerns to me openly.

However, I have to say that I am very dismayed by your naivety and lack of appreciation for our country's patriots--past and current--who have fought and are still fighting to protect what liberties we might have remaining today. Our government officials are trying to take away the rest of our liberties with such
despicable things as a national ID under the guise of this fabricated "War
on Terrorism," and it is people with your outlook who *allow* my liberties
to be taken away without regard to the consequences.

You despise law-abiding Citizens such as Brad, without ever having exchanged a word with him. What could you possibly hold against a person who has done you no wrong? I forgive you for being an American and not having the courage to stand up to Comrade Napoleon. Most do not. I am a patriot, and I will not be ruled in a totalitarian form of government when our predecessors sacrificed their lives and blood for my independence and to establish a republic.

Perhaps you do not understand from where I find 99% of my information. It
is not from Brad; it is from law books. If you feel that reading law is a bad influence on me, perhaps you should point your blame on the lawmakers
and judges of this country who write the laws and cases that go into the books, as Brad does not write any of this. I do not quote Brad when I talk
about laws. I quote law CITES and CASE LAW.

Were I going to law school, my family would be so proud of me. You and the Befords would be proud of me as well. But you change your tune because I am not attending law school. They change their tune again when I tell them I refuse to become those whom I abhor. Therefore, my deductions on law surely are wrong, as only a lawyer could understand such a complex subject. Isn't that correct? For, if it weren't, you would be proud of the research and studying I have done, and you would be proud of me for abiding by the laws of which I have immense knowledge, but of which you are reluctant to let me share with you. Why do you not let me share what I have learned? Are you afraid or are you in denial? Perhaps the law books have brainwashed my thinking?

Would you suggest to every law student in this country right now that they
should drop out of law school because they should accept society as it is?
Maybe discourage all the politicians from running for senate or the house
because our system is just fine and needs no changing? Why do you not
protest to stop all new legislation--after all, the flaws in our government are just minor ones, and we'll get along just fine without fixing or exposing the flaws? If all these lawyers, judges and politicians don't like our laws the way they are, why have you not suggested that THEY move out of the country? Is that really a solution anyway, or is it just a cowardly and disrespectful response?

In 1765, William Blackstone demonstrated in his commentaries (which
delineated the legal principles of the common law) that the integrity of the
judicial system depends upon the participants' belief in God. One cannot be
a judge until he is first a lawyer. I wonder why it is that I cannot find a single lawyer anywhere I've searched in this country who will uphold the Bible in court. Oh, they SAY they will, but when I ask them to sign an affidavit saying they will, they refuse to talk to me anymore. Do they have no honor? I cannot even find judges in this country who have respect for God's laws anymore. They are as much deceitful as the lawyers who haven't yet become judges. Do you think it's alright if our officials who have sworn to uphold the Constitution blatantly violate it? Do you condone that?

You completely misconstrue the purpose of why I research law. How am I
supposed to know what laws apply to me if I don't read them? I follow all the rules and regulations of our current system that apply to me, even some that haven't been lawfully enacted. The difference is I have READ and STUDIED a lot of these laws and regulations, and you have not. Eric hasn't read barely any of them. My mother has read even less and doesn't even know where to look to find them.

I do not fault you or them, for you and they do not care or do not have time to do what I do. But I am quite surprised that anybody but myself knows what extracurricular activities are best for my "mental health." I am not a stupid person; I frankly am intelligent enough to understand what I read. I am also a lawful person, and I follow all laws that apply to me. This is more than I can say for our public servants who cover up their illegal activity with lies and deceit. And you, whom I deem part of my family, condone it by your attempted suppression of my learning and display of brave patriotism.

Heaven forbid I should learn the real truth and expose all the perverted lies I was taught by the loyal slaves of "the system." We have been taught all the laws on taxes and social security by whom? Our parents? But they never read the law. I never remember my mother showing me the Social Security Act of 1935 or any of the United States Code or any corresponding regulations for enforcement in the Parallel Tables of Authorities and Rules. I never remember my mother showing me any Supreme Court cases when I was growing up. In fact, I don't remember any family member showing me a single case from any tax court--either supporting that federal income taxes were voluntary or compulsory!

But my mother told me only what she was taught. And from whom did she learn about taxes and social security? Her mother, who depended on the government to survive? My mother learned the same way as everyone else--from those who don't bother to discover things for themselves--they believe a changed story, which over years turns into a big lie. It's a little like the phone
game from elementary school, isn't it? By the time the "truth" gets to the
people at the end of the telephone line, the final story has grossly changed
from the original. Why? Because people don't bother to check it out to see
if the story has even changed.

Sounds a little like Animal Farm. There used to be 7 Commandments, but
after awhile it narrowed right on down to 1. But most of the animals couldn't read so they didn't know any better. Oh, but maybe it was their memory that must have been failing them. They THOUGHT they remembered there were 7. They must have been mistaken because Napoleon was always right. They didn't remember that they all agreed that "All animals were equal, but some
are more equal than others," but Napoleon was always right. Wasn't that how
it was all along?? Surely, the animals were remembering wrong, and Comrade
Napoleon had nothing to do with their failing memories. His 9 growling guard
dogs had nothing to do with it either. Just like the loaded weapons that the
IRS criminal investigators carry has nothing to do with it either.

If you think that I'm doing something unlawful, I challenge you to PLEASE
present to me exactly which law(s) you believe I am willfully violating, and
I guarantee you that I can prove you wrong. PLEASE show me the statute(s)
from the USC and the corresponding regulation(s) required to be published in
the PTAR that you think proves my federal income tax liability. And by the way, make sure that your list does not encompass regulations that point back
to Title 27 of the CFR, because I give you my word of honor I've no tax
obligations that have anything to do with Alcohol, Tobacco, or Firearms (ATF).

If you cannot present me with a single law that I am violating, you are no better than the IRS who refuses to substantiate their unfounded opinions, even when not in front of a camera. But they turn their heads from the cameras, too, because they have so much to hide. And it's not just the IRS. It's government, in general, who has so much to hide from all the slaves. For, if the slaves discovered they actually were slaves, they might want to break the chains. And Jesus weeps for these deceivers of truth.

When I wrote to you last fall, I asked that you write to me about the laws
which you do not understand so that I could show you case laws and citations
that support my so-called "unpopular beliefs." You refused. I do not know if
you refused because you might be intimidated by law (as I was when I first
started reading it); if you are afraid that I might be right; if you are simply in denial; or whether it was some other reason.

If you looked for the truth, you might find it to be contrary to what you were taught all your life. Only then, will you feel government's betrayal--not only upon you but upon your children and family. If you refuse to face the truth, I cannot help you. Only God can help you help yourself. Those who refuse to search for and face the truth are minions of Satan, and they only stand in the way. "If ye love... the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands of those who feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you. May posterity forget that ye were our countrymen" (Samuel Adams).

Every day I ask God for His guidance in my life. God has called me to
spread the truth. I have not the time to expend on people who are not willing to help themselves. As a lawful person, I live my life honestly and without harm to others. If I should happen to accidentally cause harm to another, I provide sufficient retribution such that I make that person whole again. I stand for what is just, according to God's laws, as did our predecessors druing the formation of this country and the Revolutionary War.

Was it wrong for them to fight for liberty, or should they have submitted to
the King of England and be ruled by a tyrant who trampled for years on their
God-given rights? Should they, too, have moved out of the colonies and found another place to live? Weren't the King's flaws just minor ones?

The colonists had over 2 dozen grievances against the tyrant King who refused to assent to laws; who tried innocent Citizens for pretended offenses; for depriving Citizens trial by jury; for imposing taxes without their consent; for establishing an arbitrary government and absolute rule; for abolishing their most valuable laws and altering their fundamental form of government; for quartering large bodies of armed troops amongst the Citizens; for subjecting Citizens to a jurisdiction foreign to their constitution and giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation.

These are not just "minor flaws." This is massive corruption. The King's power corrupted him. It's not much different today, except it's not ONE
tyrant king. It's an army of tyrant politicians, lawyers, and judges who all
belong to the same fraternity. They trample on our rights every single day, and I will not let my response be 'So what!' In every stage of my oppressions thus far I have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: my repeated petitions have only been answered by repeated injury. They will not force me to give up. Is that the kind of government you condone--one who quashes your every valid grievance?

Even the co-president of the Women's Law Student Association asked me not
to contact anybody in her organization again concerning attracting public
attention on my rape case in Michigan to force the case to be taken. As soon
as I exposed all the wrongdoing of the judge, prosecutors, and the clerk, the law students turn their backs and hide. Not even the Assistant Deans of Law Students are willing to help me. Not even the law professor who taught the "Concept of Consent" has enough moral courage to step to the plate to say how ludicrous it is for a prosecutor to say that consent can be given while unconscious, yet he must have said it just about every Monday in class
last fall.

The law STUDENTS are corrupted by the system even before they graduate! Isn't that sad?! Their investment in time and money seems to be so great at that stage that the graduates (now lawyers) forge onward into worse corruption. What a huge setback it would be at that point to change careers,
huh? Still, I'm only answered by repeated injury with every door I open. And the injury is a wound to the head every time. Should I respond 'So what!' or
continue to expose their evils? Would you not rather fix what is wrong or
aid in their concealment of the wrongdoing?

During the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the signers were not throwing a fantastic and loud celebration of their newly-declared Independence. This was not their mood, as we were taught in public school.
The signers felt as if they just signed their death warrants. But their liberty was far too important to let a tyrant a thousand miles away rule them unjustly. Yet they were still in fear of death in fighting for their liberty that they so rightly deserved. Don't you remember Patrick Henry, who stood up in St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia, on 23 March 1775 and asked "Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God -- I know not what course others may take; but as for me -- give me liberty or give me death!" Their fight for liberty was "nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery" (Patrick Henry).

Patrick Henry addressed the President: "...it is natural for a man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts... There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free; if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending; if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon, until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained; we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight!! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!" But Patrick Henry feared not man that can destroy only the body -- he feared God who can destroy both body and soul. Liberty burned in his heart and flowed through his veins. Death was to be preferred before cowering in fear before the British leviathan. Patrick Henry was the archetype Southerner whose motto "Liberty or death," exhibited a bravery and patriotism seldom seen today.

Why do Americans today exonerate patriots like Patrick Henry, but suppress
patriots like myself and Brad? I don't believe it's any type of double standard; I believe it's simply out of pure ignorance, but mostly fear.

Read Benjamin Rush's letter to John Adams (written 2 August 1811) regarding his reflections on their mood at the time of their signing the Declaration: "Do you recollect the pensive and awful silence which pervaded the house when we were called up, one after another, to the table of the President of Congress to subscribe what was believed by many at that time to be our own death warrants?

The silence and the gloom of the morning were interrupted, I well recollect, only for a moment by Colonel Harrison of Virginia, who said to Mr. [Elbridge] Gerry at the table: 'I shall have a great advantage over you, Mr. Gerry, when we are all hung for what we are now doing. From the size and weight of my body I shall die in a few minutes, but from the lightness of your body you will dance in the air an hour or two before you are dead.' This speech procured a transient smile, but it was soon succeeded by the solemnity with which the whole business was conducted."

You may see me as an unhappy person, one not at peace. I am far from that.
I used to be a slave, and I am now free. But that freedom unfortunately comes at a price nowadays--not because I make it or want it that way, but because the people have been ignorant enough to elect the criminals into their offices. (I am ashamed to say I voted in the last election without understanding who I was electing into office. How ignorant I was!) But I am now a very happy person, proud of my achievements in the last 14 months.

However, I am gravely saddened to witness the immoral and unethical persons
in our government who have no decency to curtail their blatant violations of the rights of innocent victims such as myself merely because it will prosper
their careers to follow the wicked. I cry when I think about all those who have strayed from God's laws. For, if they simply returned to obeying the Laws of Nature and of God, we would have little, if any, corruption in our government.

I cry for every slave who doesn't realize he is a slave. Yet, I find myself to be quite at peace with myself, knowing I have made a conscious and self-educated choice of freedom over slavery. I will not be a slave to a totalitarian government. Problem is that most people don't truly understand that they are slaves. They simply think it's people like me, who must be scofflaws, and that's why the IRS (unlawfully) takes their property and seizes their bank accounts. But when the alleged "scofflaw" wants to prove his point, the slaves close their eyes and cover their ears.

At first I was in denial. This lasted for quite some time. Months later, I figured I should probably start looking up some of these citations and case cites to find if there was any truth to them. When I did, I realized how awfully my country has betrayed me and my entire family; I could do nothing but direct my anger at the messenger. The only thing that could possibly bring people to such a realization that I had, is to learn for themselves. It doesn't come any other way. And it pains me to see people paying thousands of dollars that they don't even owe. It pains me to see both parents working just to sustain the family, when they wouldn't need to if they only knew. It pains me to be insulted by those who aren't willing to listen. It's not my changed "way of life" that causes me unhappiness; it's people like my mother who will defend deceitful and lying government to the very end. I pray she will not deceive herself any longer as well. None are more hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free...

This is the land of my birth! Why should I leave? Why do you even suggest
I leave? I'm quite insulted and disconcerted that you would suggest a
PATRIOT leave this country. I forgive you.

"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man and brave, hated, and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, or then it costs nothing to be a patriot" (Mark Twain). I do not know of a better place in this world to be than the land of my birth, but that does not give a free ticket to government officials to assault, rape, search, kidnap, imprison, and inject
unknown chemicals into me and then commit perjury several times over in a
court of law to cover up their own crimes and sentence me to jail to take
away my liberty. And for what? I just happened to be traveling in someone's
car that didn't have a registered plate on it, even though the state refuses to issue him one (even though he's not even required to have one in the first place)?

Even if my friend was required to have a license plate on his car, and even if the state was willing to issue him one and he willfully refused to put it on his car, does that excuse 3 state troopers from committing perjury to sentence me to 6 months of jail for being in someone else's car? Does that excuse 3 state troopers from fabricating a story to cover up their illegal search and seizure so they could fabricate a lie for the reason for arrest? I should have never been involved not having been the driver or the owner of the car. I want to know why the slaves of this country refuse to admit where the real problem is?

The slaves protect those who enslave them. If they are not part of the solution, then they are part of the problem. The people of this country are slowly waking up, and one day they may have the courage once again to return back to God's laws and the Constitution. Until that day, I will be a hated person, scorned, asked repeatedly to leave this country, because the weak know not what they say.

But even if they unlawfully throw me into jail, I am still free. God knows that, and my soul will not be destroyed. Perhaps you feel it better to submit like the Jews in Nazi Germany. I am not as willing. That's alright; "...It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds" (Samuel Adams).

You may not see the evil in our system or do not want to admit to yourself what you see. Or maybe you are too scared to do something about it. I don't know. Before I lay my feet on this journey, I knew the system was corrupt. I had no idea that it was to the extent that it was, but that's because I had no
personal encounters with the system. In the past, I was merely on the outside looking in, and all seemed fairly ok. But when personal tragedy hit, all the evil spilled out everywhere. "The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it" (John Hay). Do you think it wrong for me to thwart the tyrants in our country or should I simply submit and condone their crimes before God?

I am unsure of where you get the idea that I would listen to Brad over any one of my family members. Frankly, I do not weigh Brad's opinions over yours, and I do not weigh Eric's opinions over my mother's. I either prove one's opinions to myself or disprove them to myself. If you or Brad or my mother or my brother or a government official is speaking the truth (with regard to law), I will find that truth (in law). If he or she is not speaking the truth, I will find that, too. By their fruits I will know them (Holy Bible). Just because somebody loves me does not make that person knowledgeable in laws. It's true that my elders can provide me great wisdom. However, knowledge in law is another story. I don't trust even what a judge or lawyer tells me the law is. I'm intelligent enough to learn for myself.

I don't mean to say I don't need any help along the way, because the laws are intentionally written so as to deceive one with word games. Did you know that some definitions of "United States" in the Internal Revenue Code pertain only to the territories and possessions of the United States, but none of the 50 states themselves? Comrade Napoleon played the same word games on Animal Farm as well. Bed blankets are not the same as bed sheets, even if the original intention was to not sleep in a bed at all. Did you know that the Louisiana Constitution forbids gambling in the state of Louisiana, yet Harrah's Casino is in the heart of New Orleans? That's because it's not gambling inside the casino--it's GAMING. Think these aren't word games? That's how law is written; intentionally to confuse the person who hasn't the patience nor the time.

Even with the time I have on my hands to invest doing the research that I
do, why would I want to waste my time being led by the blind? Would I go to
a chemistry professor to learn history? A math professor to learn theology?
A law professor perhaps to learn French or Spanish?... Then why would I
approach you or my family, who is quite unfamiliar with law, to learn law?
Would that not be foolish of me? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to surround
myself with those whom I can trust and know a little about the subject I'm
trying to learn? And then go verify everything for myself? They'll at least
point me in the right direction rather than being completely directionless.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Brad is better than you or any member of my family. I never said that. And I never intend to imply such a silly thought. I learn about many things from lots of different people. But your expertise is not in law, and I would not rely on your direction unless I knew you, at the very least, studied it diligently.

I never had an overall mission in life. I didn't really know what I wanted from life. I have thought about that immensely over the last year--it's a topic that confronts me on a daily, if not hourly basis. I have changed--for the better. I am still the same cheery, happy, giving person you once knew. I'm just more knowledgeable and not quite so naive and trusting. Trust needs to be earned. When that trust is broken, especially by those holding offices of trust, such as police officers and judges, one cannot help but to be forever on guard. I never thought I would see the day that I witnessed police intentionally lie in court to sentence me to jail. That day has come, and I do not doubt that I will see it again. And if I sit by and say 'So what!', they'll continue to try more and more innocent people for pretended crimes.

The question is: am I going to allow them to do it or do everything within my power to hold them accountable? The bigger question is: what are we, as society, doing to stop this from occurring all over the country? Because I find
it hard to believe that all these so-called "isolated incidents" somehow
always seem to find me wherever I go.

May you have the courage to listen to the angel who asks that you not
deceive yourself anymore, Bonnie.

The Judge Who Never Was!

Have you ever given thought about becoming a judge? If so, the below official document from the California Secretary of State, Bill Jones, seems to establish that one may just simply "think" themselves into actually becoming a judge. It is the old adage, "I think, therefore, I am."

The below January 10, 2002 document certifies that California Government Code 1363 was not complied with by "Superior Court Judge" Paul Bernal of Santa Clara County. I, Ron Branson, have been asked to comment on this failure by this "judge."

What can anyone say in defense of these so-called judges such as Paul Bernal? Are "judges" above the law? And perhaps an even more basic question is, "Are they really judges?" Does the system really care? I think not. But what they do care is when someone raises a public stink.

This implies that it is alright to lie, steal and cheat as an elected official holding an office of public trust, but just don't get caught. But then, if it is alright to lie, steal and cheat, then why is it they prosecute citizens for "violating" such laws?

Have you ever noticed the double-standard of government officials?They openly and defiantly violate, with impunity, the fundamental prohibitions of the U.S. Constitution limiting their powers, such as the Fourth Amendment, yet if you, a citizen, are caught not wearing a seat belt, they will spare no expense in prosecuting you to the fullest. (One time I caught a sheriff's deputy forging a signature to railroad a defendant, a felony act. I reported him to his superiors and to the District Attorney. The response came back that the County of Los Angeles does not have enough money to prosecute this officer.) And so we see exhibited, "straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel."

Oh, just think of the grand day that will be once JAIL4Judges has become the law of this law, and the day of accounting begins.

A Top Fox Assures Us They Are Guarding The Hen House

How are the courts accountable to the public? By fairly and effectively resolving cases before us. --Judith S. Kaye, New York state's chief judge.

If that's true, then Chief Judge Kaye should have no objection to having that claim tested by the People under constitutional principles whenever that claim is challenged in a particular case based on empirical evidence of record of

that case. "Judicial independence in decision making" does not allow judicial independence from constitutional requirements. J.A.I.L. is an absolute necessity as a "new guard for our future security" provided by the People.

State judicial system is accountable to public

Top jurist addresses issues raised in series

By JUDITH S. KAYE, Special to the Times Union ~ Albany, NY ~ First published: Sunday, February 10, 2002

As the state's chief judge, I have naturally followed with interest the Times Union's editorials on judicial misconduct. I would like to address some of the issues raised.

First, like every other member of the public -- including judges -- I am deeply distressed whenever I learn that a judge has betrayed the oath of office. Of course, not every complaint about a judge shows unfitness requiring removal. But when charges of misconduct have merit, no one more than New York's hard-working judiciary wants to see prompt, appropriate measures taken, so that the courts maintain the respect of the public that they need and deserve to have.

Second, as the editorials recognize, both the procedures for disciplining a judge -- who is appointed or elected for a term of years -- and the funding for the Commission on Judicial Conduct are set by the legislative and executive branches. While I would quarrel with several of your statistics and examples, I agree that adequate funding for the commission resolution of misconduct complaints [is necessary], and I therefore support it.

I cannot, however, agree that the tort law should be enlarged to allow damage suits against judges for their official acts, as this proposal threatens the essential quality of judicial independence in decision making. Not unlike the protection of the First Amendment for the press, this protection for public officials assures that they can act fearlessly and vigorously in the performance of their duties.

Greater openness in the disciplinary process -- both for judges and for lawyers -- is surely desirable. I have long supported legislation that would make judicial and attorney discipline proceedings public from the time a complaint has been investigated and formal charges are filed. Opening the proceedings at that point virtually eliminates the risk of undue publicity for baseless complaints. Such legislation would bring New York into line with the other states. And it would give the public greater confidence in the entire process.

Regrettably, with rare exception, courts are in the news only when the news is negative, so the public gets a skewed picture of us. Now that I have your attention, I'd like to fill out some of the picture.

I start with the fact that New York state courts are among the busiest in the entire nation. Amazingly, our 1,221 state-paid judges resolve well over 3 million cases a year. The 2,300 local town and village justices, mainly non-lawyers, bring that number to more than 4 million annually. The cases run the gamut of difficult human problems -- criminal matters, personal injuries, property damage, broken contracts, constitutional issues, family issues and claims against and involving government.

Our objective is to resolve each case fairly and efficiently. Overwhelmingly, New York judges are people of talent, dedication and integrity, and they do an outstanding job with astronomical case dockets -- resolving disputes, protecting rights and punishing wrongs. I think that is an important context for your editorials.

In addition to our primary focus on the fair and efficient resolution of cases, always the New York courts look for innovative ways to better serve the public. I offer a few examples:

• Jury reform. Not all that long ago, the average term of jury service in New York was two weeks at least, with callbacks every two years like clockwork. Today, typically, jury service is one day or one trial, with minimums of four years between callbacks. All exemptions have been abolished, more equitably distributing the benefits and the burdens of this prized democratic institution.

• Drug courts. We now have drug treatment courts in 29 counties, including Albany, to halt the costly ineffective recycling of low-level nonviolent drug offenders through the courts. Since this program began, there have been 13,500 offenders in the drug treatment courts. These courts work. They have now been initiated for juveniles -- an especially vulnerable population -- as well as for substance-abusing parents at risk of losing their children to foster care limbo.

• Family matters. There are many ongoing programs to better serve families in court, including 32 children's centers that last year saw 51,000 children, Model Family Courts in Erie and New York counties that speed permanent placement of children, and matrimonial reforms to improve the processing of those cases.

• Commercial courts. Albany will soon join Erie, Monroe, Nassau, Westchester and New York counties with its own commercial division to better serve business litigants, whose complex matters are too often backlogged, delaying court dockets generally.

• Domestic violence courts. Responding to the scourge of domestic violence, we have for the past several years piloted special domestic violence courts that sensibly attempt to prevent recurring violence. Only months ago, we launched integrated domestic violence courts, to better serve families who today are whipsawed among several trial courts. We hope that the clear benefits of these courts will at long last spark reform of New York's archaic trial structure.

How are the courts accountable to the public? By fairly and effectively resolving cases before us. By looking for ways to do better. By maintaining open courts -- including even family courts -- that invite the public to see and learn about its justice system. Do we have problems? Of course we do. No human institution is perfect. The point is, we try to face up to our problems, and address them.

Finally, while Sept. 11 is unforgettable for many reasons, one is especially relevant. On that fateful morning, my colleagues and I conferred and decided immediately -- almost instinctively -- that the New York courts, including the trial courts in lower Manhattan, should continue their operations. This was an attack on American values, including the rule of law, and we would not capitulate to terrorists by closing the courts.

It was one thing for us to reach that decision, and quite another for the judges, court personnel, lawyers and jurors to implement it. But they did. They were magnificent in meeting the extraordinary challenges of those extraordinary times. This was, I believe, a shining hour for the New York courts and lawyers, not missing a beat in their service to the public, showing the world the high value we place on our system of justice.

As we work to improve all of our institutions, including the courts, let's not lose sight of the great resource we have.

The Farce of Judicial Boards

& Review Committees

by David Donley

The situation is the same in every state. The Boards dismiss complaints against judges claiming they do not have the funding to investigate yet it is the State's Supreme Courts that have repeatedly failed to allocate sufficient funding for investigations even while they allocate themselves pay increases, increased pensions, benefits,....

Another popular excuse is "lack of guiding case law," which doesn't stop them from looking to other jurisdictions or creating new case law when it serves their purpose. The boards policing (protecting) the legal profession are designed to protect the image of the profession not the "public".

The failure to discipline errant judges goes beyond negligence to malfeasance and by rights should be considered a RICO action for all the collusion involved from the Governors office to the legislatures.

Not too long ago I submitted Miss Sassower's article, "Argument Without Merit: The Empty promise of Judicial Discipline" in a court pleading accompanied by an affidavit swearing under pain of perjury to the veracity of my pleadings. I had downloaded the article from her web site (copies have the web address on them). The article is no longer available on the net. A few of us have enquired if this was the result of a court injunction or Elena's free choice? If you read this Elena maybe you could respond. I happen to like the "... Empty Promise Of Judicial Discipline" article as it documents how efforts to create accountability are frustrated by the courts and legislators alike.

The first Amendment was intended to protect speech critical of government and keep the people informed of the character and conduct of their government officials yet the legal profession has totally subverted that major check against government abuse of authority by keeping complaints secret.

If you consider the many groups forming around this country in direct response to the many abuses perpetrated on the populace by an "unaccountable judiciary" it becomes obvious the only ones they have deceived is themselves. A key word search of the NET, "Legal Reform" will bring you to the top 5% most frequented sites on the Net, many of them blue ribbon decorated. The sheer volume of related sites and numbers viewing them indicates there is a growing swell of the population that is concerned with the way our legal system is operating. We the People want the Republic our founding Fathers envisioned, "of, by, and for the People". The only way to accomplish this is to create accountability within the judiciary and make our courts a public domain not the personal money mills for the Bench and BAR that they are. Force judges to abide by the "Supreme Law of the Land" our Constitution and many of the other social problems and injustices perpetrated on the public by corrupt officials will disappear.

When corrupt government officials realize Accountability is for everyone not just the common masses they will act accordingly.

METROLAND ~ 4/26/02

Appeal for Justice

Lawsuit alleges corruption at the state Commission on Judicial Conduct-and seeks to disqualify all members of the Court of Appeals from hearing it May 1 is a fitting day for Elena Ruth Sassower to serve her papers with state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and the state Commission on Judicial Conduct. May 1, after all, is Law Day-a day established by congressional resolution in 1961 to celebrate liberty, equality and justice under the law.

Likewise, the point of Sassower's public-interest suit, a proceeding against the Commission on Judicial Conduct alleging that it is corrupt and has failed to fulfill its mandate to investigate civilians' complaints against judges, is to draw attention to people's rights to "justice under law." Or, in some instances, the lack thereof.

As coordinator for the Center for Judicial Accountability Inc., a nonprofit citizens' organization that for more than a decade has been dedicated to revealing the secretive and insular nature of the commission, Sassower is filing a motion with the Court of Appeals to compel the organization to investigate all complaints against judges, as required by state law. As it stands now, the commission investigates complaints at its own discretion, and critics say that all too often, complaints against politically connected, higher-level judges are dismissed; when a complaint against a powerful judge is heard, the resulting punishment often is little more than a slap on the wrist.

The charges and evidence in Sassower's petition are intensely critical of the commission, its administrators and members, and of Spitzer, whom Sassower says has helped insulate the commission from public accountability and judges from receiving complete investigations. In essence, she has assembled an exhaustive set of legal papers that implicates officials as high up as Gov. George Pataki in what she calls "willful misconduct," and an attempt to subvert oversight of the judiciary-especially members of the judiciary who have friends in high places.

So far, Sassower's case has been dismissed out of hand by lower courts; she points out, however, that her case was steered before judges who had a vested interest in seeing its demise, although the assistant solicitor general Carol Fischer, acting on behalf of the attorney general's office, argued in 2000 that "any question of judicial bias is meritless." Practically no one in state government or the court system is willing comment on it.

This time around, Sassower's case is going to be particularly difficult for the courts to contend with because she is asking that none of the judges sitting on the Court of Appeals be allowed to preside over it.

"What is most dramatic [about this case] is not the fact that I'm going to be serving my notice of appeal on the commission and its attorney, the state attorney general," Sassower commented. "But that I am also accompanying that with an unusual motion to disqualify the judges of the Court of Appeals."

According to Sassower, all save one of the Appeals Court judges have "personal and pecuniary" interests in her case.

Take, for instance, Associate Judge Albert Rosenblatt. In 1998, Sassower made a judicial misconduct complaint against him, charging that he committed perjury when he was being interviewed for his position by the commission in charge of appointing Appeals Court judges, the Commission on Judicial Nomination. Sassower believes that Rosenblatt was not forthcoming with the commission when it asked him whether he had ever been a subject of misconduct complaints. The Commission on Judicial Conduct dismissed Sassower's complaint without investigation in December 1998. It was after failing to receive satisfactory answers to her repeated questions about the dismissal of her complaint-and subsequent related complaints-that Sassower began her legal proceedings against the Commission on Judicial Conduct.

"It's the complaint against him based upon his perjury in his application to the court of appeals which was dismissed by the commission, so he has direct interest," Sassower said. She said that both Judge George Bundy Smith and Judge Victoria Graffeo were involved in the events that gave rise to the initial suit-the "ramming through" of the approval of Rosenblatt despite complaints against his appointment-and should also be disqualified from the case.

As for Chief Judge Judith Kaye, Sassower said that over the past two years, she has provided her with full copies of her complaints and lawsuit against the commission: "I said, 'You need to appoint a special inspector general [to investigate].' . . . But what does she do? She says she has no authority. I say she sure does have the authority to undertake an official investigation. So I filed a misconduct complaint [against her] with the commission based on the ethical rules that a judge must take appropriate action when faced with evidence of violative conduct taking place in front of him."

Judge Carmen Ciparik ought to be disqualified, Sassower contended, because she served on the commission from 1985 through 1993.

Judge Howard Levine should be disqualified, she said, because he sat on a panel hearing a case brought by Sassower's mother, Doris Sassower, which alleged corruption in election laws as it pertains to judges. The case resulted in the abrupt and unconditional suspension of Doris Sassower's law license without a hearing or notice of charges.

The only Appeals Court judge who is not somehow directly involved with the case is Richard Wesley. But Sassower says that he should also be disqualified because of the "appearance that he cannot be fair and impartial" if his colleagues are all implicated in the suit.

"Because virtually every judge in the state is under the commission's disciplinary jurisdiction and because the criminal ramifications of this lawsuit reach this state's most powerful leaders upon whom judges are directly and immediately dependent and with whom they have personal and professional relationships," Sassower's court papers state, "I raised legitimate issues of judicial disqualification and disclosure in the courts . . . Their disqualifying interest is based on participation in the events giving rise to this lawsuit or in the systematic governmental corruption it exposes-as to which they bear disciplinary and criminal liability."

Sassower acknowledged that her suit has already been denied by both the Supreme and Appellate courts in the past, but she said she's not going to be dissuaded, even if Appeals Court refuses her again: "I did not bring this case with the idea that the public's rights would be vindicated in the court," she said. "I brought this case because, if the courts are corrupt from bottom to top, I was going to put it all together in a neat package where it could be presented to the public in a neat form. . . . The public needs to know what is going on with judiciary discipline and judicial nomination."

N.J. Governor Finds

Judicial System Unacceptable

McGreevey: Quality of Jersey's high court is diluted

Governor says his first appointee will come from outside inner circle

Saturday, April 27, 2002
BY JOHN P. McALPIN

Associated Press New Jersey's Supreme Court has been compromised by political appointees who do not have the intellectual capability or legal skills for the job, Gov. James E. McGreevey said yesterday.

McGreevey said during an interview with the Associated Press that his appointee to the state Supreme Court will not be a political insider or have ties to state government.

"We need to restore the intellectual capital, the integrity, the gravitas of the New Jersey Supreme Court. Unfortunately, these past years under the Whitman administration, it became an avenue for patronage for those within the executive branch," McGreevey said.

Everywhere throughout civilization is an unspoken cry for J.A.I.L., and it time McCreevey be introduced to the answer to his problem.

Wonder of All Wonders

Times are a-changin'. What you are about to read will give you reason to ponder the meaning thereof. On this date, Saturday, May 3, 2002, I, Ron Branson, was invited to be among the speakers at a demonstration held just outside the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal in Pasadena, California at the behest of Jacob Roginsky, president of AMOJ (A Matter Of Justice).

There are two highlight events of the day, the first of which was purely incidental. On the way to this demonstration, wearing a JAIL4Judges T- Shirt with my name badge and position attached, I stopped in for lunch at a fast-food restaurant.

A lady in the next booth got up and came and leaned over our table and said, "What does that say? JAIL4Judges?" We quickly flipped her a business card, and briefly outlined what we were about, and that we were on our way to the Ninth Circuit C/A for a demonstration. She praised our endeavor and told us her name, and related accounts about certain judges. She showed great intelligence about the judiciary. I asked her if she had internet, to which she unhesitantly responded, "Sure do, and I am going to look at your website and get back to you."

Now for "bomb-shell" Number One. She said, "My husband's cousin is U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor," and began to talk to me about her. I invited her to become a JAILer, and related that we had a J.A.I.L. Warden position open for the Pasadena area. Whether she will follow through on contacting me, I know not, but if you are two steps ahead of me, you will already know what I am thinking. Should she indeed contact me via the internet, I will try to cinch up my request that she and her husband both become JAILers. And next, ah, yes, now you've got it. "How about your cousin? Would she too like to become a JAILer?"

After that experience, I was off to the Ninth Circuit. I arrived to meet a group of citizens position across the street from the Ninth Circuit. Others spoke before me, and I watched the federal security gathering from different positions here and there, some close by, and others standing in front of the court observing us. One of the speakers related how this court was destroying the lives of 68,000,000 people within the eleven states over which they presided, confirming the message I stated in an article written by me about the Ninth Circuit entitled, "This Godzilla Must Be Destroyed."

Finally, it was my turn to speak. I took my position and began my dissertation blasting the Ninth Circuit based on my experiences with this court and my being in this very building arguing before the appellate judges therein. Then it happened! "Bomb-shell" Number Two!

To my amazement, crossing the street and approaching us with a tray of goodies were two Ninth Circuit Court appellate judges, along with approximately fifteen court employees wearing badge identifications, including clerks and a couple of federal security men. It was Senior Circuit Judge Dorothy W. Nelson who was personally carrying the tray of goodies, accompanied along with Appellate Judge Alex Kozinski who walked up and said, "We want you to know that we approve of the First Amendment, and out of respect, we have prepared some goodies for you," and extended her tray to us. Standing beside her were all these grinning faces.

Attorney Gary Zerman, our National J.A.I.L. Lt. Commander-In-Chief, moved in and engaged in a conversation with these appellate judges on what they were doing to this country. Barbie moved in an gave each and everyone of them a copy of the California J.A.I.L. Initiative and a business card. I was shocked at the effort on the part of these judges' to offer up these "peace offerings," as the demonstrators gobbled them up. I asked myself, "Why would these judges personally walk boldly up to demonstrators on the street in a cordial manner, and offer them sweets?" I will leave you to draw your own conclusions, but all I can make of it is that the courts are beginning to feel the heat of the combined citizenry unrest in this country, and are seeking to appease those exposing them.

If it weren't for my eyes, I would be hard-put to swallow this testimony, but I have beheld it with my very own eyes. I have little doubt that this message will travel to all corners of the earth. Wonder of all wonders.

Judicial Corruption Is Rampant Everywhere--

Not Just in California

Steven E. Grace, WWIIHERO@..., a California JAILer

"with a will to fight back at injustice"

Somebody has to do something and soon, or else there is going to be a

breakdown in the judicial system. People are going to get fed up with these
antics.

Frankly, a separate body of nonlegal investigative committees needs to be
established to add some common sense to the legal issues when a misconduct complaint is brought up.

--Steven E. Grace

[Mr. Grace writes]:

Trying to find any civil justice within the court system of the California Ninth
District is impossible. Non-monetary, Pro Se, In forma Pauperis civil
complaints are far too complex. The fees for filing are way too costly. This
discourages many, which have just complaints to even seek the court's aid.
This is besides the astronomical cost lawyers would charge. That's why most
civil Non-monetary cases are made Pro Se and In Forma Pauperis because they can't afford the expensive system of legal injustice that's practiced in the
Ninth District Courts of California.

The United States Attorney's office in the Ninth District of California runs
roughshod over such cases with complete impunity with such outrageous
misconduct in obstructing justice in Non-monetary civil actions it is
disgraceful what they get away with.

The judges in this state are no better. It becomes more apparent by the fact
that out of 1600 sitting judges on the bench in the state of California,
there are over 2300 misconduct complaints filed every year against these
judges. That's more then one complaint for each judge every year. Yet, the
system in place to watch and correct the misconduct of these judges is the
same as employed by the L.A.P.D in the use of the IAD [Internal Affairs Division]. Nothing is done.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in investigating those complaints has a miserable record. Maybe of that number, only barely ten judges have even had their hand slapped. The rest are whitewashed by this one-sided system. The rules themselves governing the investigation process into misconduct of a Judge is so complex that in reality, it is geared mainly to retain judges to the point that only if they commit murder, you might get the bastard off the bench. Otherwise, don't hold your breath.

Frankly, a separate body of nonlegal investigative committees needs to be
established to add some common sense to the legal issues when a misconduct complaint is brought up. The rules governing filing and the judgment of misconduct complaints of judges is way too complicated. The ordinary citizen can't even begin to follow; although they know inside the judge is being
unfair and not doing the right thing by them. They have nothing to help them
express the frustration they are dealing with in an unjust situation.

[It is the system's goal to confuse the ordinary citizen when he or she looks to the system for relief. When I commented to a deputy district attorney with whom I worked years ago that rules and procedures are so complicated, he responded "Of course! It's designed that way so that we lawyers can get paid to figure it out!" (words to that effect). I'll never forget it. -Barbie]

This is a blow to the faith the people once had in the fairness of the so-called judicial system that once looked out for the common man's rights. The court's place in the scheme of things has fallen apart for the people in this state. Magistrate Judges who are openly biased and prejudiced against a plaintiff refuse to recuse themselves from cases. Magistrate Judges sit on the bench and allow Assistant United States Attorneys to openly slander a plaintiff's family member. If the judge had been knowledgeable of the evidence in the case, the judge would have caught the AUSA on this point and demanded an immediate apology from the AUSA.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, in the face of overwhelming evidence that supports a charge of misconduct, merely whitewashes the magistrate's misconduct. Even the State Bar looks the other way when confronted with the misconduct of an AUSA. There is no justice in the civil courts of the Ninth District of the state of California.

Now in the state of Indiana's Seventh District, if the same evidence in this and other cases of civil non-monetary cases were presented, the judges in that District are very much more enlightened and approach the evidence first and apply the law second in a more common sense manner. [Any Indiana people agree? We have Indiana JAILers that are fed up as well.]

This is sorely lacking in the magistrate judges now on the bench in this state.
Giving a six-figure-salary magistrate's position to some incompetent as a
political favor to be handed out, is a disservice to the citizens of the community to be served of this state. It hardly instills any confidence in
the legal system.

"Our legal system depends on the confidence of every citizen. Americans
strongly support our legal system, but many question whether it dispenses
justice evenly. Too many Americans think that our legal system does not treat
crime victims fairly. Too many think that it favors the wealthy over the poor. And too many lack effective access to the civil legal system because they cannot afford a lawyer. Support for effective civil and criminal representation for the poor, and consideration of the interests of victims and the community, are critical to public confidence in the justice system." Janet Reno, US Attorney General.

It would be refreshing to have a real civil court system that was more
responsive to the needs of the individual citizen. Perhaps the legal
maneuvering of United States Attorneys to get out from righting an injustice
or correcting an error made by some Military branch or the Government
could be reversed.

Somebody has to do something and soon, or else there is going to be a breakdown in the judicial system. People are going to get fed up with these
antics. [I think that has already happened. People must now get J.A.I.L. passed in this country. Let's start with just ONE STATE! -Barbie]

First Amendment Under Siege

Our very own Dottie Lafortune, along with Phil Castora, both long time members of Maine JAIL4Judges, (pcastora@...) are the subject of the below Journal Tribune news articles.

The battle lines for the First Amendment were drawn last year when Dottie decided to go public with her message of local government corruption by public officials on her Public Access T.V. show called "The Maine Forum." Mayor Donna Dion stepped in to close down her T.V. program.

J.A.I.L. strongly applauds the great work done by these two JAILers. By way of background before we get into the main article, we provide the following as a lead in article.

Lafortune's show goes on, and so does her lawsuit

By MEG HECKMAN / Journal Tribune Staff Writer

BIDDEFORD - One night after the City Council banned her from its public access TV station, producer Dorothy Lafortune took to the airwaves and there was nothing the city could do.

The cablecast was made possible by an agreement reached Wednesday afternoon in federal court in Portland. In the "standstill agreement," the city said it would not enforce the sanctions it levied against Lafortune while her First Amendment lawsuit against Biddeford goes forward.

City Solicitor Harry Center II and Maine Civil Liberties Union attorney David Lourie, who represents Lafortune, reached the deal after U.S. District Court Judge D. Brock Hornby told them he had grave doubts, Lourie said, that the city followed its own procedures when dealing with Lafortune.

It was the attorneys' second round in front of Hornby this week. On Tuesday - the day of the scheduled council vote - Lourie asked the court to stop the vote from taking place. Hornby ruled in favor of the city, according to Center, because he felt it was not appropriate to intervene in a city's operations.

After a series of public protests from the podium Tuesday night the council voted 5-4, with Mayor Donna Dion breaking the tie, to ban Lafortune.

But, after Wednesday's trip to the federal courthouse, the cameras rolled anyway.

"We had quite a crew there last night," Lafortune said about her special two-hour "Maine Forum" program. "We had more people than usual."

The lineup included representatives from some of the national civil liberties organizations that have flocked to City Hall during the last few months. They discussed the local and national implications of the pending lawsuit.

The phones kept ringing too, Lafortune said, with residents calling in to voice their support of both the show and the agreement that allowed it to stay on the air.

Tony Alaimo, the city's cable access director, said several "irate" calls came in to the show as well.

The fate of "Maine Forum" was first called into question in July when the mayor pulled an episode featuring Councilor Philip Castora alleging that city officials, bankers and an auctioneer conspired to take property from Lafortune's mother Marion in the mid-1990s.

Now for the main article:

Magistrate issues split opinion on Lafortune suit

By MEG HECKMAN / Journal Tribune Staff Writer / May 2, 2002

PORTLAND - A federal magistrate says the city's practice of previewing tapes and requiring permission from anyone mentioned on public access cable TV is a form of illegal censorship.

But while the 20-page opinion issued Tuesday by Magistrate Judge David Cohen, in the form of a recommendation to the U.S. District Court, supports Lafortune's claim that the city violated her free speech rights, it rejects her claims the City Council acted as an illegal court.

Cohen's opinion follows months of legal and political wrangling in the courts and Biddeford City Hall over the free speech and due process rights of producer and city government gadfly Dorothy Lafortune.

City Solicitor Harry B. Center II today described Cohen's recommendation as "very favorable to the city" because it vindicated the City Council's actions and denounced Lafortune's claims of "foul play."

David Lourie, Lafortune's attorney, called the recommendation "splitting the baby" and said he plans to object to the due process portions of the document. ....

She sued the city late last year for allegedly violating her constitutional rights to free speech and due process when it banned her program, "The Maine Forum," from broadcast after a controversial July 4, 2001 show.

The hour-long program featured Lafortune's friend and former City Councilor Philip Castora accusing city officials, including Mayor Donna Dion, former Mayor James Grattelo and Center of conspiring to take property from Lafortune's mother. An auctioneer was also named by Castora.

Originally, the mayor said she pulled the tape from the rebroadcast schedule because Castora's allegations were libelous. Later she said the tape was pulled because Lafortune did not have permission from the auctioneer to use his name in the broadcast. Dion said Lafortune was in violation of the public access users' agreement, which requires producers to get permission from anyone who "appears" in the program.

Cohen said this part of the agreement, as well as the mayor's request to view the show's tapes, was a form of censorship.

Center said the magistrate's opinion on the user's agreement will most likely lead to some adjustment of the document. "That's why the council needs to look at the ordinance," he said. The case is expected to go to trial in federal court early this summer.

The lesson to be learned here is a case in point when J.A.I.L. states that all issues of corrupt government are ultimately decided by the courts, that it is always a judge at some level in some court that ultimately decides to cover for, and protect the propagation of, all government corruption, no matter what that corruption may be.

We have afore used the illustration of a five year child in a medical waiting room. If the child kicks a waiting patient, and continues in other devious misdeeds, who is the blame - the child, or his mother? Therefore, if you think something just is not right in government - don't look to government - look to the judges. They are the ones responsible.

Autonomy of Grand Juries In Today's System Is A Myth

J.A.I.L. was sent excerpts from the 1982 petition dealing with the Federal Grand Jury in Utah investigating the Federal Reserve. It is quite enlightening of the truth about government control of the Federal Grand Jury and we felt that it should be shared with our readers. The same is true of County Grand Juries. They are used as a tool of the County Prosecutor. Grand Juries are not allowed to exercise their lawful autonomous authority. Things will be different with J.A.I.L. The statewide Special Grand Juries consisting of nongovernment members will be acting in their autonomous capacity without governmental interference.

the form of an informal and humble request, to politely and discretely bring
this matter to the attention of the court that the questions may be answered
and the problems solved quickly and with the least damage to the reputation
and image of the court and all concerned.

    It is my belief that the following is, or may be, true and correct:

    1. The United States Grand Jury has, of its own volition, desired to
investigate the Federal Reserve System to determine whether potential crimes or wrong doing has been perpetrated by persons connected therewith.

    2. This desire and intention has been brought to the attention of Mr.
Brent Ward and Judge David Winder.

    3. Mr. Ward and Mr. Winder have made comments to the Grand Jury of a
type which has had the effect, intended or otherwise, to disuade, discourage, or weaken the resolve of the Grand Jury to make this investigation, believing
that they were doing something that might be viewed as wrong , or improper, or in excess of their lawful authority, when, in actuality, such an
investigation would not be wrong, or improper or in excess of their lawful
authority.

    4. The Grand Jury has believed, correctly or incorrectly, that Mr. Ward
and Judge Winder were designedly thwarting, obstructing, and otherwise
refusing to assist the Grand Jury in this investigation. Believing this, the
Grand Jury has felt the need the meet and discuss this investigation without
the presence of attorneys of the staff of Mr. Ward.

    5. Mr. Ward has not in any significant manner, it is believed, attempted
to help, assist, or carry forward the intent of the Grand Jury in this
investigation, but has given the appearance, the Grand Jury believes, of
dragging his feet, discouraging the jurors, and giving no positive legal help
which would allow the investigation to move forward.

    6. The Grand Jurors feel afraid of Mr. Ward and Judge Winder.

    7. The Grand Jurors feel intimidated because of the actions and comments
of Mr. Ward and Judge Winder.

    8. The Grand Jury does not feel fully informed as to its independent
right to conduct an investigation without being limited and restrained by Mr.
Ward, Judge Winder or other authorities.

    9. It is my understanding that it is improper for a judge an Assistant
United States attorney to limit the scope of a Grand Jury investigation.
(38 C.J.S. Grand Juries, Section 1, note 29)

   10. It is my understanding that the scope of a Grand Jury investigation
is, and always has been, viewed as being very wide, "Its concern being of
things rather than individuals..." (38 C.J.S. Grand Juries, Section 34, note
82), and that the Grand Jury is "...a particularly suitable body to
investigate misconduct of public offices and public evils." (38 C.J.S. Grand
Juries, Section 34b, note 16)

   11. If, accurately or inaccurately, Grand Jurors believe that its

__________

Page 9

investigation of a perceived potential public evil is being thwarted and
resisted by gentlemen who occupy high places in the legal process (i.e., a
district court judge and an assistant U.S. attorney), particularly when other
governmental bodies (such as the Washington and Arizona state legislatures) are, at the same time, questionning and calling for challenges to the same apparent public evil, then the Grand Jurors and many others in society may come to feel, fairly or unfairly, that the system is corrupt, and that conspiracy exists to block the truth.

   12. This Grand Jury has but 3 to 4 months yet remaining to complete its
investigation. The time is short. If the court does not clarify this matter
promptly, there may be very hard feelings and possible lawsuits thereafter,
which could only tend to cause embarrassment to the legal system and a
feeling of distrust for the processes of justice and the officers thereof.

   13. The Grand Jury has twice attempted to issue criminal indictments
against the Federal Reserve system in a crude manner, caused, they believe,
because of the lack of cooperation and assistance on the part of Mr. Ward and Judge Winder. Whereas, if they had received the cooperation and proper instruction from these gentlemen, the investigation would have been conducted with propriety, with dispatch and thoroughness.

   14. The sanctity of the Grand Jury system under the Common Law and the
Constitution is at stake.

WHEREFORE:

    It is prayed that this Court take the following actions:

    1. That the court order an immediate hearing, shortening any time for
notice requirements, concerning this matter.

    2. That the court have in attendance at that hearing, Mr. Ward and Judge
Winder, and the members of the Grand Jury.

    3. That the hearing be of record.

    4. That the court make diligent and open inquiry into the matter.

    5. That the court enter an order clarifying and construing the proper
scope and powers of the Grand Jury to conduct investigation with respect to the Federal Reserve, with such additional comments, suggestions or orders
directed to all concerned as to prevent any further acts of potential
intimidation or "foot-dragging", and with provisions for protection of the
Grand Jury should the problem appear to resurface again in the near future.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED BY
AN OFFICER OF THIS COURT

Lessons To Be Learned

(By Attorney Linda Kennedy)

What has happened to Indiana Baptist Church is now going on all over America. It is not just a church building that is being affected, but around the country it is the Church itself that is being persecuted through use of the judicial system which blatantly refuses to follow the law. Do we wait until it happens to us before we care?

Below is Dr. Dixon's message. It is said that a wise man will learn from the experiences of others, but a fool must learn from his own mistakes. Will Dr. James Kennedy be our next lone victim because he is standing alone with no assistance from the rest of the body? When will we take heed?

Judge Barker Approves Sale Of Indianapolis Baptist Temple Property For 1.5 Million.

(Only $255,478.31 To Be Applied To Alleged Tax Debt)
By Dr. Greg Dixon,

Pastor Emeritus

Indianapolis Baptist Temple

Judge Sarah Evans Barker, Chief Judge Southern District of Indiana,
Indianapolis, signed an order on May 2nd, the 70th birthday of former
Pastor Dr. Greg Dixon, approving the sale of the Baptist Temple property to Christel House, Inc. of Indianapolis for $1.5 million for the purpose of housing a Charter school. The sale was handled by Olympia Partners, Ltd., of Indianapolis, through their agent, Gus Miller. According to the Court Order the purchase price will be divided as follows:

Olympia Partners will receive $80,000 in commissions.

Christel House, Inc. will receive a credit of $140,000 for "the reasonable and necessary cost of remediation of the Property to a level in accordance with the RISC Guidelines established by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management effective February 14, 2002.

$501,946.91 shall be distributed to Bank One, Indiana, N.A., to satisfy its mortgage lien on the Property.

The sum of $89,808.21 shall be distributed to the United States of America for application to the remaining costs and expenses incurred by the U.S. Marshals Service in enforcing the Court's Order to Vacate.

$420,966.57 shall be distributed to the United States of America to reimburse it for the costs of maintaining and preserving the value of the property.

$1800 shall be distributed to the Chicago Title Insurance Company to pay for an owner's policy title.

The remaining $ 255,478.31 shall be distributed to the United States of America for application to the unpaid employment tax liabilities of Indianapolis Baptist Temple that are at issue in this action.

It is hard to believe that we have now come to the place that our government, which was once chained in the words of Thomas Jefferson to the Constitution, has broken those chains and is now free to trample on the very liberties that our forefathers fought and died for in 1776.

It is obvious that the American experiment in liberty and self-government is over. We are now ruled over by tyrants that represent an oligarchy of the rich who are able to buy elections, politicians and judges.

The Bill of Rights that was enacted to protect the weak, defenseless and
poor have now been twisted into a document to destroy the very rights
that they were to protect.

Our government has stolen this church property, destroyed a Christian School and replaced it with a school designed to teach atheism and socialism. All of this while destroying the First Amendment for the paltry sum of $255,478.31. ...

We can only say in the words of the Apostle Paul as he beseeched the Lord, "Reward them according to their works."

Out of every experience, there should be a lesson to be learned. Is there one here? Yes! The lesson to be learned here is best set forth in the words of Chief Justice Marshall, "I have always thought, from my earliest youth till now, that the greatest scourge an angry Heaven ever inflicted upon an ungrateful and a sinning people, was an ignorant, a corrupt, or a dependent Judiciary.'

~ Chief Justice Marshall, O'Donoghue v. U.S., 289 U.S. 516 (1933). [Emph. added]

As I have often said, J.A.I.L. is the Only answer! Can we learn this lesson, or must we stay the course of destruction of this country by the judiciary? -Ron Branson

Our Remedy is J.A.I.L. --Not the Grand Jury

For those of you who aren't aware of John Wilson's initial premise, see the very bottom of this string for the five points he made. It is #4 and #5 that had to be addressed, and after we did so, John seems to have come to a better understanding about where our remedy lies-- and it isn't with the Grand Juries as they currently exist and operate. John originally stated:

4. Grand Juries investigate and indict anyone for serious offences and maladministration.

5. Only by Grand Juries, can this wrong be redressed and remedied.

John also stated to FRANKKJV who sent him the Utah Federal Grand Jury petition excerpts,

If Grand Juries "are not what they are supposed to be", then let's educate ourselves.

John Wilson.

That's exactly the stage J.A.I.L. is in right now-- educating the masses. Our job is to educate the People that J.A.I.L. is the only answer to the tyrannical government we now face. Nothing else is going to crack this "Nut" because nothing else approaches the problem from an entirely independent turf. That's the only way it's going to work, People! The chains of slavery are too heavy upon our shoulders as long as we remain in the current imprisoning system under the guise of "government" today, making it impossible for us to move against the controlling powers that be under its current weight of despotism. The chains belong on government by the Constitution --not on the People. And that's the way it must be. Let us cast those fictitious chains asunder and move quickly to the position rightly held by the People (now the Posterity) as sovereign OVER government-- not the other way around. Let's bind our government with the Constitutional chains. To get this accomplished, we must focus on the judiciary, the ultimate oppressor, in the first instance.

Thanks again John. As I said, the all-encompassing "fight" (if you will) is J.A.I.L. "Reclaiming the English Common Law system of justice" or anything else can be effectively accomplished only through J.A.I.L. It won't happen by working (or fighting) in the current system-- it can't. We must get completely out of the current system and "fight" from new territory-- a territory operated by the People with a single focus-- judicial accountability. With that, banks, corporations, etc. etc. will fall in line, since it's only the courts that hold them up by its evil unbridled despotism. Without the support of the black robes and gavels, they're "toast."   Truth will triumph over evil --with J.A.I.L.

Since I had written to you before, Ron Loeber sent you a good explanation on the subject of banks. Bottom line-- the People have the duty to come together to "fight" or work independently of any government influence, to make judges accountable under the Constitution and laws in pursuance thereof-- that's all.

That equates to getting J.A.I.L. passed. That must be done, or nothing will get done. Remember-- focus, focus, focus! The idea is very simple. It's getting people to realize that, that's the hard part.

Dear Barbie,

Thank you for your email.

The cycle you describe is obvious and what jail4judges is doing is correct.

That is why the simple flyer I put together needs to be on every computer scene across America and any country where people "who will not be slaves again" (Les Miserables).

The 5 points can easily referred to by anyone wanting to reclaim the English Common Law sytem of Justice. This is a fight which must be fought and re-fought, time and time again. It is a fight against evil - and evil refuses to go away.

Yours sincerely,

John Wilson.

Dear John:

Your last two points about Grand Juries are correct in theory, but not in practice. The County Grand Juries are under the control of the prosecutor's office (usually D.A.). GJs operate as puppets of the D.A.  Here in Los Angeles County, the Grand Jury's "advisor" is a deputy district attorney. The GJ is, in effect, part of the District Attorney's operation.

Only when the corrupt system is reformed by the People will the Grand Jury operate as it is designed to do. J.A.I.L. establishes statewide Special Grand Juries which are independent of any government official or agency. Banks can only do what judges allow them to do, which is true of any corporation or agency. The judiciary have the final say in everything-- and so the People must hold the judiciary accountable under the Constitution and laws made in pursuance thereof. The Constitution sets the limitations for government, including the judiciary, to operate. And it's the DUTY of the People to hold them within those limitations.

So, it's TIME TO HOLD JUDGES ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE!

If that happens, then the banks and all other corporations and agencies will no longer be covered up by the judiciary and they will be forced to "fly right."

IT'S TIME to "Smash the Banks.":-

1.    Banks have a stranglehold on Governments and the Judiciary.

2.    Banks are guilty of monumental fraud (ie: loan contracts and the creation of money "out of thin air").

3.    The Judiciary consistently conceal the fraud with lies and by dismissing actions.

4.    Grand Juries investigate and indict anyone for serious offences and maladministration.

5.    Only by Grand Juries, can this wrong be redressed and remedied.
