Rense Steps up to the Plate, Runs Guardianship Interview

by Janet C. Phelan

On June 29, six days after an article appeared on novakeo.com highly critical of Jeff Rense’s avoidance of the guardianship issue, the talk show host broke his years-long silence on the pervasive and problematic issue of adult guardianships and ran an hour interview with reporter and talk show host Marti Oakley.

The interview covered the main concerns of those in the guardianship reform movement, and stressed not only the theft of assets but also the fact that many of the wards are having their lives shortened through actions taken by the guardians themselves, who are ostensibly pledged to protect the wards' assets and well being. Oakley also discussed the legal machinations which are used to separate the ward from family and friends, among other issues which make adult guardianship a disturbing blip on the civil rights radar.

A small firestorm had begun to rage on the novakeo site, following the publication of the article by this reporter, which tied some of Rense’s prior pro-Nazi statements to his avoidance of the guardianship issue. Guardianship has been called a "holocaust on the elderly" and likened to the T-4 program in Hitler’s Germany. T-4, which targeted the same population that are potentially afflicted by guardianship (the elderly and disabled) was the first extermination program launched by Adolph Hitler.

Oakley had rushed to Rense’s defense, denying she had written emails concerning Rense’s pro-Nazi views which were first referenced by this reporter then posted in their entirety in the comments section. In a virtual news black- out on this subject, Oakley had run a number of guardianship interviews on her own blog talk radio show a few of months back.

The purpose of a free press in a democratic society is to watchdog the government and, when necessary, to oversee the actions of other members of the press. The guardianship issue has been woefully underreported in the past and Oakley and Rense are to be congratulated for a fine, although somewhat tardy, show on this controversial subject.

Los Angeles Police Dept. Moves to Further Restrict Police Oversight

Janet C. Phelan Salem-News.com

Oppressive police have been able to disappear people who are politically inconvenient. In Soviet Russia and Pinochet's Chile -- to name a couple of examples in recent history-- have created a reign of fear among the populace.

(LOS ANGELES) -In a startling reversal of an established transparency policy, the Los Angeles Police Department has refused a recent routine records request, citing a 1993 court case, County of Los Angeles v. Superior Court (Kusar).

The Kusar case affirmed the public's right to view contemporaneous records and the LAPD has cited this case in its refusal to release a record which is only nine months old. Coupled with the restrictions contained in Government Code 6254, which inhibits the disclosure of issues under investigation, the PD has effectively locked down information about any and all police records.

The specific issue surrounds a request made by this reporter on March 9, 2011 for the report pertinent to the detention of a Los Angeles resident. Jeannie Tanaka was taken into custody on June 10, 2010 upon an allegation that she had violated a Restraining Order. Tanaka was apparently released prior to being booked, after the West Los Angeles PD discovered that there was no Restraining Order in effect.

Jeannie Tanaka, sixty nine years old, is an attorney with the State of California and was visiting her mother , Jean, who is a conservatee. According to Tanaka, the conservator Linda Cotterman called the police and falsely claimed that Tanaka was under a R.O. According to Tanaka's statement to this reporter, she was surprised by the arrival of the police and was handcuffed and taken away in front of her mother during a pleasant and otherwise uneventful visit.

While the Public Information office of the LAPD has orally confirmed Tanaka was released prior to booking, that office has refused to produce any records concerning the incident. Initially, PIO Karen Raynes stated that no electronic record exists and that this reporter would have to pay for an unspecified number of hours of research, as the clerks physically pawed through storage boxes for the nine month old report.

The Public Information Office later abandoned that response and on March 18 issued a letter which could be seen as stating a policy which effectively locks down all police records. The letter, signed by Martin Bland, states that “in accordance with the California Government Code Section 6254 (F) (2) specific information must ordinarily be disclosed from law enforcement files if it relates to contemporaneous law enforcement activity (See County of Los Angeles v. Superior Court (Kusar).....The information contained in the report does not relate to contemporaneous law enforcement activity; therefore, I am denying your request.”

However, the California Public Records Act specifically prohibits disclosure of records pertinent to issues that are under investigation, which reasonably may be seen as contemporaneous. By now including records that are not contemporaneous in the list of what cannot be disclosed, the PD has potentially sealed off all records from public view. The letter does not specifically define “contemporaneous” and could possibly reference any report that is not active and not under investigation. Logically, this is a perfect “Catch 22.”

The implications of this are unsettling, to say the very least. The citation of the Kusar case could be seen as paving the way for the police to operate under a mantle of complete secrecy. One could easily project into a not-so-distant future where these two legal citations, in conjunction, could be used to create a modern day “Secret Police.”

In other, oppressive regimes police have been able to disappear people who have become politically inconvenient. The effects of such practices, infamous in Soviet Russia and Pinochet's Chile -- to name a couple of examples in recent history-- have created a reign of fear among the populace. America now seems to be creating the legal structure to accomplish precisely the same thing.

Investigative Reporters BEWARE a Sad Day for America!

By Ray Fernandez

In the age of new media when most cell phones are equipped with cameras and video that can turn a regular citizen into an investigative reporter that can be posted on media sites such as YouTube and made available to millions of viewers government has a right to be worried when citizens try to shine a light in the behavior of public servants who are paid with your tax dollars.

Rudy writes

"I am refused court access and threatened if I try to appeal by more court punishment since I was denied access (standing) the last time and I could not pay the $23,000 fine for thinking I have an interest in either my mother or her house, our home. The more we try to bring the truth out the more we are punished for it."

In the recent Gulf Oil disaster Reporters were threatened with arrest. News stories were yanked. Scientific reports buried. And data from the NOAA research vessel—initially sent to the region to take readings of the seafloor—was suppressed and YouTube videos were posted of reporters attempting to talk to workers who where forbidden to do so.

Most elder victims of elder abuse I have talked to are very afraid to talk about the abuse because of retribution,backlash,ridicule and intimidation they receive when attempting to report elder financial or elder abuse and when my own mother attempted to file a report for abuse she was ridiculed, the officer that took the report discredited her because "her hand was shaking when she signed the report" and "there was no signs of abuse" Ps. she was in a wheelchair where she was walking on her own power before the abuse took place, this is the protection you can expect from your law enforcement officials if the system is not reformed.

Others like 25 year old Anthony Graber who tried to report abuse are not so lucky. Graber, a sergeant with the Maryland Air National Guard, is now facing 16 years in prison, not for dangerous driving, but for a YouTube video he posted after receiving a speeding ticket.

Just like many of us who were pushed into elder advocacy when our loves one were abused, Graber never thought himself being an advocate for accountability.

According to the report the video, filmed with a camera mounted on Graber's motorcycle helmet designed to record biking stunts rather than police abuse, shows a plain clothes officer jumping out of an unmarked car and pointing a pistol at the motorcyclist exposing the officer's abusive attitude and putting the citizen's life in danger when he sworn an oath to protect the very same.

After he posted the video on YouTube, police raided Graber's home, seized computers and put him in jail.

Investigative reporters, whether professional or just a common citizen with a cam face a grim future if caught video taping or reporting abuse of any type wether it is grandma getting tazered or a *citizen getting beat in the street by police officials.

It is interesting that the attorney David Rocah representing Graber said "The case is critical to the protection of democracy because I don't think you can have a free country in which public officials are able to criminally prosecute people who film what they are doing."

Graber who had never been arrested before,is being charged with illegal wiretapping and could face 16 years in jail.

"This is about shielding the policeman, a public servant, from journalistic scrutiny," Steve Rendall, a media analyst with Freedom and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), said. But don't expect to read the story on your local media as they are hard pressed to report on elder abuse or other sensitive topics.

I think that we can all agree on is public officers - public officials tasked with protecting the public interest - should not be able to hide behind such rules to avoid scrutiny.

Supporters of abusive behavior will argue privacy laws" but it is interesting to note that you can't walk through Washington Square [a public space in New York] without being recorded by dozens of video cameras run by the police." One might be tempted to ask, "What happens to our privacy then?"

In 2007, police in Florida arrested Carlos Miller, after the journalist photographed the arrest of a woman.The arrest prompted the reporter to start the blog Photography is Not a Crime where he has documented more than eight similar incidents.

Of course we all know just ask Investigative Reporter Janet Phelan, that it is all about intimidation,the ruining of lives and reputations and the silencing of a citizens G-d given right about speaking out against perceived abuses, a sad day for America indeed!

The case that comes to mind as an example of a citizen journalist filming police was arguably the case of Rodney King, a black man in Los Angeles who was assaulted by several police officers. His beating was filmed by a citizen standing at a nearby gas station.

Without video evidence, King, a convicted felon, may have stood little chance testifying against police officers in court.

If you want more information on this story just do a Google search on Anthony Graber

*Denver police officers were caught on video tackling and beating a 23-year-old man who was doing nothing but talking on a telephone.

Elder Financial abuse is a very lucrative enterprise, there are no numbers kept as to the number of financially well off elders in forced guardianship, these figures are so private that they are not even available, and elder abuse stories according to some sources in the business should remain private as well.

The Ficticious Legal Entity Called "a Person"

Crossposted from HenryMakow.Com

February 14, 2010

by Paul Verge

(Col. House,left, puppeteer of Presidents)

A quote, famously attributed to Rothschild agent Col. Edward House, but rarely understood except by "one man in a million" envisages people as collateral on the national debt:

"[Very] soon, every American will be required to register their biological property in a National system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging.

By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a chargeback for our fiat paper currency. Every American will be forced to register or suffer not being able to work and earn a living.

They will be our chattel, and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, forever to remain economic slaves through taxation, secured by their pledges.

They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans and, if by accident one or two would figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability.

After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debt to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges. This will inevitably reap to us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor or to this fraud which we will call "Social Insurance."

Without realizing it, every American will insure us for any loss we may incur and in this manner; every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and, we will employ the high office of the President of our dummy corporation to foment this plot against America."

If you can decipher what this means, you will truly understand a massive piece of the Global Agenda.

Essentially, House's quote illuminates the multiple "need" for imposing Legal Person's status upon us by the Satanic (Ego Worshipping) Elite.

The 'Strawman', also known as the Legal Person or Natural Person is the idea that a Fictitious Legal Entity, called a PERSON, exists for purposes of Law and Commerce.

This PERSON is similar to a Company or Corporation in that it exists as a construct of the imagination - it has no real body, and no soul to save, but for legal purposes, carries similar rights and attributes to that of a Human Man or Woman.

These rights include Ownership of Property, Lobbying the Government, Voting, and other activities related to money. The PERSON allows us to function with Limited Liability (read: Less Responsibility)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_personhood

Our primary Legal Person, or "ID Card" consists of Birth Date, Eye color, Hair colour, Height, Weight, and now Fingerprints and Retina-scans, as if that's all we are. Nowhere on an ID Card are your Soul, or your Personality, or your Hopes, Dreams or Capacity to Love ever mentioned...

The emotional insecurities we have about our Bodies are magnified & exploited through constant propaganda and advertising, while our media hammers away at our psyche, "reminding" us that we are only Bodies, that bodies can only be sexy or ugly, and that Bodies and their Parts must be regarded as Possessions or Objects to be Owned.

In addition, by Registering (signing over to the state) your Biological Property (your body and the bodies of your children), creating a Birth Certificate (a Financial Security Instrument representing proof of parental consent in signing over the child) you are thus Consenting to the State's Ownership of You and Your Children.

The State then creates a child's very first Legal PERSON, with the parental signing of the Birth Certificate, which is given a "commercial value". If you have an older-style Birth Certificate, look on the Reverse side of it, to see 3 points of interest.

1) A 6-10 digit Number that you have never used in your life.

2) The words "Revenue Receipt" on the left side of this number.

3) The words "For Treasury Purposes Only" on the right side of the number.

Incidentally, before the 1900's, people USED to write the evidence of a birth in their Family Bible.

This first Legal Person attached to you, is known as a "NATIONAL CITIZEN" which later becomes synonymous with being a "Government Employee", when you SUBMIT (give in) an APPLICATION (to beg) for REGISTRATION (to sign over your rights) to become a SINner (by signing up for the Fraud called Social Insurance or Social Security).

You then receive your Employee ID # (also known as a SIN #) which creates another Person called a "TAXPAYER". This means you consent to the Income Tax Act, and now makes you liable for the Income Tax, in exchange for the "Benefits" of being a Government Employee.

The Strawman/Legal Person is thus the Evidence of your Signature (an oath) and Consent to Obey a set of Acts or Statutes, usually located on paper contract, or in a card form with your signature.

For example. You sign for a "Drivers License" to create a Legal Person called a "DRIVER", and have consented to follow the Traffic Safety/Motor Vehicle Acts of your state or province.

You sign up for a "Bank Account" to create a Legal Person called an "ACCOUNT HOLDER", usually providing your SIN # as part of your "Identification" which consents to allowing access to your bank account by court order to pay your Income Taxes by force!

You sign up for "Voter Registration" to create Legal Person called a "VOTER", which gets to vote for new Employee's and Presidents/Prime Ministers for the Corporation your PERSON resides in, and thus consent to the actions of your representative and their party, even if it means going to war against an innocent foreign country, or proroguing their own Parliament illegally!

There are literally dozens, if not hundreds of different PERSONS you can be holding, but none of them are YOU.

PERSONS must RESIDE within another Legal Entity, they cannot "Live" anywhere - that is why you are asked if you are a Resident of CANADA or the UNITED STATES. Authorities are not asking you, the Living Man or Woman if you Live in the Country, the are asking if your Legal Person RESIDES (has the right to do business/work) within their Corporation.

We have to know what words mean when people claiming authority try to use Legal words to control us. Legal dictionaries are different than regular dictionaries, because Legal words carry Weight in Law, and are often defined completely differently within various Acts, Statutes and Legal dictionaries. It is literally another language, which is why they call it Legalese.

SOLUTIONS

Only by realizing and discerning WHO we really are : Powerful spiritual beings with unlimited creative potential created by God, can we break the first invisible chain keeping us from freedom.

"You can declare your Rights and stand upon them as a Sovereign Man or Woman by filing "Notices of Understanding and Intent" and "Claims of Right", example of both available on the Web. You must tailor your own Notices and Claims to your own situation. It is not a simple cookie-cutter process.

Standing upon your Sovereignty in court and winning is FACTUAL, but you must not fall for their NAME GAME, where they try to get you to accept your LEGAL NAME, which puts you in their jurisdiction. Doing that, in the eyes of the court, turns you from a Living Human with Human Rights, into a Soulless Corporate Entity with No Rights whatsoever.

The best solution to win against the crooked and corrupt courts is to never go to court and play their fixed game at all. If someone tries to use a Court Order against you, make sure it is SIGNED by a JUDGE or it is INVALID. Most Court Order's aren't actually signed, and officials use unsigned Court Order's as a confidence trick to gain your consent!

There is no silver bullet. There is no lazy way to learn about your rights. You must Research and do your homework to REALLY learn what you are doing. Ignorantly walking into court is like playing carelessly with a loaded handgun."

You are not a PERSON. You are a Living Soul of Flesh and Blood. A PERSON has Privileges that can be Revoked while a Living Human has Rights that are Inalienable!

Knowing THAT, is the first step to stopping the War Against Consciousness.

Freedom of Speech Alert

Be careful about talking about Christianity in public! That is the message being sent out this week as arguments have moved to the appellate court level in a California case in which a man talking to two willing strangers in a shopping mall was arrested because the subject of the conversation was God.

We are all aware of the Christian symbols being removed from public spaces, prayer banned from schools, and that the USA as claimed by its top CEO is no longer a Christian Nation, but when we hear of people being actually arrested because of it, then it is worth mentioning it in the long slippery slope headed to where ever it is that we are headed.

"Singling out religious speech for punishment violates our most basic principles of free expression," said PJI President Brad Dacus. "If anyone can be arrested for wearing a Christian T-shirt or mentioning God in a shopping mall, we have lost not only our freedom, but our sanity as a society."

PJI affiliate attorney Timothy Smith, of the Sacramento firm McKinley & Smith, served pro bono as Snatchko's lead counsel in the trial court and continues to serve as part of the appellate team.

Be Forewarned! You ARE losing your rights.....the right to educate and or discipline your children, the rights to grow old with your parents in a home environment, the right to have rights!

Will Americans wake up out of their lethargy in time to save our civilization as each right is successively stripped away until there are none left?

Letter From the Editor - Does Anyone Care?

Dear Readers:

I try not to stray to far on this blog from the topic at hand, however I recently wrote about a topic that's dear to all of us and that topic being freedom of expression.

I recently wrote a letter to my most loyal supporters that seems to have hit a nerve and I will reproduce it here for you and print some of your responses without the name to protect the identities which is something that has to be done in todays climate of fear and repression.

You in the US are no longer free to express your opinion, as an example military blogger: Blackfive writes "milblogs are facing an increasingly hostile environment " hostile environment as in 'Cuban Blogger' and Iranian Blogger' Hello! I am I the only one to see the connection here?

Blackfives continues " with milbloggers receiving reprimands, verbal and written, not only for their activities but those of spouses and supporters."

Well you might say "no reason for alarm" reprimands are not as bad as beatings , again Hello! anyone paying attention to what is happening in the US ? Does anyone care?

The catalyst has been the treatment of millblogger C.J. Grisham of A Soldier's Perspective (http://www.soldiersperspective.us/).

C.J. is having to raise funds to cover legal expenses to protect both his good name and his career.

Blogger C.J. Ultimately, was forced to sell his blog to help raise funds for his defense in this matter.

Well you might say,"Ray what does this have to do with me 'We are not military bloggers, the campaign is only directed to silence Military Bloggers'

Well again "Hello America!" Does anyone really give a damn that the Constitution and freedom of speech is rapidly becoming a moot point?

The fact that I had to leave my adopted country in order to exercise my right to free speech after having to spend thousands in attorneys fees in order to defend my right to keep my blog and ultimately had to leave to escape persecution, along with Journalist Janet Phelan and countless others is not important, but when an important segment as is military bloggers are forced to sell their blogs to a third parties that will accommodate the party line, 'Should this not be a cause for concern?

If a segment of the blogsphere is being silenced, starting with ElderAbuse and Elder Financial Abuse issues, and now military bloggers, discreetly as it might appear, how long do you think it will be before they come after you?

If you think not then continue to crow about how free you are, and continue to concentrate on how other people don't have the right to free speech while you lose yours and the carpet is being pulled put from under you and go in your merry way........

Yours Truly.

Letters To Editor - No One Cares!

Happy holidays, Ray:

The answer to your question if this: NO ONE CARES

The US has created a hostile environment for us to live in and answers to its GODS-
Business, profit, the rich, corporate greed...finally, however, some people realize it and give up
like me. I battled this for 10 years, went broke doing it, caused myself health ramifications and more

FOR WHAT?

Democracy has never been by and for the people...at least not in the last 50 years...
there are TOO MANY SECRETS, too many corporate alliances (i.e. witness healthcare debate and
the power of the insurance lobby---do you think for a MINUTE this only happens in healthcare
insurance?)

This is what happens to our seniors...they are consumed by probate judges, elder care lawyers, social and protective services. They dehumanize us and our beloved seniors for GREED.

That's the mantra of America...profits before people...and it's always been that way or at least
since the USA knew Pearl Harbor was about to happen and did nothing in hopes of fueling the rich
and powerful corporations.

Viet Nam was the same way....lots of conspiracies say that was true in Kennedy's death (RFK & JFK) and with the WTC...there's plenty of video on the net. Take a look at it.

Ray, you did right by leaving the country. America is not what we were sold...that we were the "bastion" of freedom and yet our numbers suffer because corporate freedom to put profits before people is American domestic policy.

When the will of the people is circumvented by the will of corporate America...you got it exactly right:
NO ONE CARES...everyone is now caught up in trying to survive the joblessness, inflation, the lies,
the media that shoves starlets, weight problems, Tiger's extramartial affairs, etc down our throats rather than the truth.

There is not one person that is safe in this country...this is a police state, a lawyer state, a judge state, a corporate state and you all better accept it or leave this country. Our country is an illusion...things started out idealistic but big business and other countries now own us and there
is no where to hide.

Stay out of the system if you can...trust no one, mind your own business, go into business for yourself
and rebuild the American dream in your community. That's the only way not to be a consumable here in the America we thought was for the people, by the people....we do not matter....nothing does
except how much money you represent to anyone of the bottom feeding entities including the US government and those mentioned above...

it's every man and woman for themselves...use caution with EVERYTHING.

God bless you, Ray....you did the right thing leaving this country...in a place where mental midgets say, "this is America, love it or leave it" leaving it is just plain old good common sense.

-An ex-patriot

Free Speech is Worth Preserving

I light of the recent disclosure in blogs and Radio Shows of how Melody Scott is in trouble, much to the credit of Janet Phelan who published names,details which led up to the de licensing of these yes, I say it and I am not afraid 'Monsters' guilty of crimes against humanity.

People that commit crimes against the elderly do not deserve Restraint while blogging that is unless you think that the offenses are not that bad.

It is refreshing to see Estate Of Denial "Not Afraid" naming names and talking notes.

Many people who get drawn into probate-oriented environments come to feel helpless and victimized by the system.

One trend that I have observed is that the people who brazenly come out and denounce people for what they are doing to us get results while others linger for decades and are reduced to being intimidated complaining in private groups but afraid to go public with their stories.

Please understand one thing, when you bring action against these people only the people who have access to the court files know about your story and what these people are doing. If you are lucky to get your story published in a newspaper it comes out once then the newspaper is discarded and forgotten, however when you put your story up in the Internet on a blog or website it is there forever 24/7 and gets the attention of investigators,regulators and legislators that frequently surf the Internet looking for information and gauging public sentiment.

Is it any surprise that people that are most vocal about their abuse get resolution for their case? Have you heard the saying "Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease"

Well known Probate and Estate attorney Adrian Thomas credited ElderAbuseHelp.Org for Clara Fernandez guardianship being terminated and plans to take over her estate foiled.

Did he NOT know what he was talking about? Or could there be some truth to the fact that these people hate to be exposed when their story is all over the Internet for the future potential clients and the whole world to see that they start looking for a quick resolution and a exit strategy.

I would place my bets for the latter,and agree with Mark Bilk, of CosmicPenguin.Com If you really want resolution and justice , every one should have their own blog, they can call Janet,Mark or me a "fruitcake" but when tens of thousands of stories published on the Internet are available to readers 24/7, causing deep embarrassment to the G'ship system and serves as a warning to others, believe me results follow.

If you are exaggerating and looking for sympathy Do use extreme caution while blogging or better yet "Don't Blog at all"

But if you are telling the truth,have nothing to hide and are fed up having decided you are not going to take it anymore and feel that the culture surrounding the legal industry and associated government entities need todevelop some sense of responsibility toward the “consumers” then my advise is "Let it all hang out" for the whole world to see , above all tell the truth and then let the cards fall where they may.

80 year old retired Military veteran lost 5 years of his freedom: His Civil Rights

As the Jury asked their one question of the court, “Why has it taken Five years to give this man his trial?” And then return their Not Guilty verdict for the 79 Year old Mr. Evans Abington Virginia, Nov. 14th - In a 2nd major crushing loss Government prosecutors which pursued Mr. Evans conviction for five years, a jury in Abington Virginia failed to return guilty verdict Wednesday on a criminal charge against a 79 Year old Military Veteran; an innocent man falsely accused of being a terrorist!!!

In which the Rural Development Agency (RDA) office in Wytheville, Virginia auctioned off in April 2006. Abominable conditions of Evans confinement; Spending 1, 778 days of his life lost in the system!

Evans case was in limbo for 5 years now, awaiting what the last step his freedom; Evans now 79 years and was just released from prison on 26th September 2007, and now finally free on the 14th of November 2007.New River Jail: Mr. Evans placed in a prison Pod (no larger than a court room) with 112 inmates, where sleep on the floor four months and where the Two convicts were working as Government/FBI informants; Conspired with the FBI falsely claiming as well as accusing that a 79 year Old retired Military Veteran Mr. Evans, wanted to kill a Federal Judge, in order for the Two convicts to have their more than 20 year sentences reduced.Bristol Jail, Virginia: Evans has held in isolation at the Bristol Jail, Virginia for most 2004 & 2005 in solitary confinement in his 5 x 8 ft concrete cell for 24 hours a day, where he shredded news papers into 15 inch squares pads woven together and stacks the woven pads on top of each other in order to elevate his swollen feet to reduce the swelling from where he suffers from diabetes, poor circulation, High blood pressure and very little exercise.. Also Evans described in letters from where he was held at Bristol Jail, Virginia of where a young 19 year boy hung himself in his cell which had a 7/24 hr surveillance camera. In letters from Evans, where he spent most of 2006 in solitary confinement at the Roanoke City Jail, VA

Roanoke City Jail, VA: In letters from Evans, where he spent most of 2006 and the first part of 2007, in solitary confinement at the Roanoke City Jail, VA. Where Evans describes mistreatment being like torture, verbally harassed on his cell intercom, scalded, humiliated, brutalized by six guards and showered soaked in his cell, while the guards allowed other inmates to throw water in cell for 4 weeks during Christmas and the new year, as well as Evans reports that he was totally confined to cell in February2007 with out privileges’ to shower nor shave, in a way that sounds (reminiscent of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib.)

Are the erosion of fundamental Constitutional Rights, human rights and the civil liberties occurring in the United States of America, Freedom to Fascism? Psychiatrists were frequently employed by the Communist Soviet Union to forcibly drug any citizen, to cover up mayhem, where dissidents were often declared insane, then drugged and imprisoned in psychiatric hospitals prisons to keep them quiet to silence critics, but Evans an veteran who severed in Strategic Air Command and who fought against the communists in WWII, Korea and Vietnam never expected such tactics to be used by our own government. For speaking his mind “He stated that the United States was heading towards communism and was not a free nation any longer.”

As well as voicing his opinion, could be deemed subversive and mental your condition questioned by the Government. Which now can get you long terns in prison these days as in the sorry methods of our government as it plays games with American citizens., the rightist of the right-wing courts, upheld Evans detention, much as they had done in the numerous case before and increasing case now, as Evans has learned over 5 years of incarceration, the government civics lesion of this present Administration, thinks it can walk all over the Bill of Rights” your rights” and get away with it. When one plot fails, they have another up their sleeves. And when they run out of tricks, they turn their energies to making a criminal case against you, all in the great cause of liberty and justice for all. " AT THE HEART OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH LIES THE RIGHT TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST ABUSE AND TO VOICE UNPOPULAR AND EVEN POLITICALLY IN CORRECT OPINIONS” Evans has already lost 5 years of his life, his Social Security Benefits, his personal property, his home and his savings. Yes Maybe Mr. Evans alleged Comments were right, “the government was out to get him” as well as his comment to the RDA agent “He stated that the United States was heading towards communism and was not a free nation any longer.” Is there no accountability for this type of Bush government and the federal judiciary that enforces the government’s political agenda politics, transgression to Soviet and Nazi Era? Instead of investigating and punishing the real criminals… murderers, thieves, rapists, federal officials are moving heaven and earth to avoid a public trial that should expose the fact that a man has been held in prison so long without a trial for speaking his mind, “United States was heading towards communism.” With blessing of the court, they can force an individual with whatever potion MIND-ALTERING DRUGS the government’s doctors wish to use to experiment with, in an attempt to mold a person’s will to the government’s purposes. Of course, most of us realize that injustice like this happens in third world dictatorships, but this is happening right now in the United States.Apparently, attempting to maintain the appearance of a fair judicial system is more important than the fundamental right to a fair trial. It appears to be an example of an abuse of power and judicial corruption. Is there justice for all in the United States of America, or just courts that do the bidding of the connected?You be the judge.

“America should applaud the real patriotism of public defenders and especially the Jury team “The Public Defenders who delivered there two major crushing losses to the Government prosecutors; The Public Defenders that worked so hard over the past five years to investigate this complex criminal Government conspiracy scheme and uncover the truth of the false imprisonment of Mr. Evans as well as bring the wrongdoers to justice.”

The US and the Reign of Fear

by Janet Phelan as published in the Venice Beachead 11-5-2008

A message of hope in the midst of the darkness.

The story ran on the front page of a major metropolitan newspaper in the states. On the streets of Baghdad, hit teams had become a matter of normal course. A car would pull up and shots would ring out. A man, a pedestrian making his way down a busy midday street, would fall to the ground, dead or deeply wounded.

And the passersby would keep on walking, as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred. No one would stop for the wounded or dying, no one would call out for help.

Beyond the depiction of the violence that has become an everyday event in Baghdad, this article revealed the impact of a reign of terror, the blow to humanity when normal, everyday people fear to even take notice of a fallen countryman.

Every reign of terror has its human cost, far beyond the cost of the fallen. Every reign of terror victimizes also those who know that their countrymen are being attacked and even killed, but who fear to speak up or reach out a hand, thinking that they may be next.

And this is how evil accomplishes its aims. This is how a reign of terror succeeds in imprisoning the spirit of a once free people.

Those who think that the people of the U.S. live now under a similar reign of fear need only surf the web. At elderabusehelp.org, you may read stories of the elderly and disabled, who are being robbed and denied lifesaving medical care, through the guardianship and conservatorship programs, run through our courts. Astute observers have likened this to the T-4 programs in Hitler’s Germany, wherein the “useless eaters,” the elderly and disabled, were sent off to their deaths, after their assets were secured by the Nazi state.

Both journalists and lawyers attempting to address this issue are under attack. Mary Garofalo was abruptly exited from her twenty year tenure at Fox 5 news in New York, the day after the second in her investigative series on guardianship ran on that network. Attorney Margie Mikals has been threatened with revocation of her bar license, after coming up against the conservatorship machine in Southern California.

These tactics have a chilling effect on those who might speak out about the covert, genteel violence being done in our courts, against the most vulnerable of our fellow countrymen. And it has gotten worse. We have journalists and whistleblowers now being imprisoned in our country. Look at the fate of author Fritz Springmeier. Look at what has happened to former reporters and CIA whistleblowers Susan Lindauer and Barbara Hartwell.

And it has gotten worse. Journalist Gary Webb took two bullets in the head in 2004 and his demise was dutifully reported as suicide by his fellow reporters. Over eighty scientists have met suspicious deaths since 2001. Steve Quayle has compiled the following list, which has not been recently updated: www.stevequayle.com/index1.html

And it has gotten worse. Those in a position to realize the ramifications for possessing certain types of information, those with their fingers on the pulse of the nation–this would include journalists, broadcasters, lawyers, medical doctors and others in the scientific field–have certain choices to make. One may skirt around the increasingly obvious fact that people are being killed in this country, murdered by the state. One may maintain a safe distance from people who are being targeted, and, like those unhappy people on the street in Baghdad, to shut one’s eyes to what is daily becoming more apparent.

This choice will ensure the continued and escalating oppression we are now seeing in the states.
The other choice is to continue to speak out, in the face of possible persecution and retaliation. The other choice is to take notice, as loudly as possible, of every person under mortal attack by our government. The other choice is to help those in trouble, not ignore their plight. While this choice may appear more risky in the short term, it is, in fact, the only choice that will give us any leverage to change the future.

This is the choice that I made, back in 2002, when my own mother came under deadly attack. http://la.indymedia.org/news/2006/12/190681.php

Those who know me know that I have paid dearly for my choice. And those who know me also know I have no regrets.

We have an incredible opportunity, right now, to make our voices heard, to stand up and speak out, without fear and with righteousness. We have a window of possibility, before the iron hand comes down, as we have never yet seen in this country. The choices we make today determine the future of our planet.

A Florida Bar committee is proposing a rule that would eliminate access to recordings of court proceedings.

Florida considers blocking access to recordings of court proceedings

A Florida Bar committee is proposing a rule that would eliminate access to recordings of court proceedings.

For decades, many Florida courts have provided recordings of court proceedings to the public. The recordings are available more quickly than a written transcript, and typically cost a few dollars rather than hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a transcript.

Now, the Commission on Trial Court Performance and Accountability is asking the Florida Supreme Court to approve a new rule under which recordings could only be released with explicit judicial approval, and only after editing.

Those proposing the rule say allowing public access to the recordings risks the accidental disclosure of personal information, such as Social Security numbers and off-the-record conversations.

“Saying ‘Hey Joe, how’s that affair you’re having?’ is now part of the record,” Palm Beach County Chief Judge Kathleen Kroll, a member of the commission proposing the rule, told The Palm Beach Post.

But others see the rule as an attempt by Florida judges to prevent behavior they later regret from ending up on television or the Internet.
“They don’t want their public behavior memorialized,” public defender Tony Natale told The Post. “It’s precisely to protect them.”

Final comments on the proposed rule are due Monday, November 3. The Florida Association of Public Defenders says it plans to file comments criticizing the rule change, saying that public defenders rely on the recordings and cannot afford pricey transcripts.

First Amendment advocates also plan to file comments opposing the change. Carol J. LoCicero, a media lawyer and partner at Thomas & LoCicero PL in Tampa, said the new rule violates Florida’s constitution and undermines the ability of citizens “to know what’s going on in their own court system.”

Warning: Free Speech Under Attack

post by Pamela Geller Atlas Shrugs Congressman John Culberson hat tip David

Why wouldn't Democrats want the American people, the folks, to see them at work in Washington. This is an affront to every tenet of AN American government by the people, for the people .... yes, yes the little people.
This is works in tandem with the Democrat's venal Fairness Doctrine that seeks to shut down the few outlets right of center voices have to express their views. No radio station owner is going to run content that no one ants to hear (see Air America for the abject failure of liberal talk radio. Owners will switch formats. Business in business to make money. hello. ) Liberal fascism.

Today House Republican Leader John Boehner issued a statement indicating that Democrats are seeking to quash the right of Members of Congress to have free speech. According to the statement, the Democrats are looking at restricting Member content on websites outside the house.gov domain. Congressman Culberson is quickly becoming a "real time representative" by posting on Twitter.com, where he sends regular updates from the House floor and the halls of Congress, and on Qik.com, where he films and posts video updates on the Internet. This new technology allows him to bypass the mainstream media and shine sunlight into the darkest corners of Congress. If the Democrats strong-arm this rule, he would no longer be able to use these websites and our fundamental right to free speech will be taken away.

The following is Mr. Boehner's statement:

I’m writing to alert you to an attack on free speech that is making its way through Congress. This attack, which should concern activists of all political affiliations across the ideological spectrum, comes in the form of a new congressional rule that would prohibit Americans from viewing content published by Members of Congress on websites that are not “approved” by the Committee on House Administration, the panel that creates rules governing the internal operations of the U.S. House.

Millions of Americans today utilize free, unregulated and uncensored websites like YouTube on a daily basis to not only obtain information from their elected leaders about what’s going on in their government, but to also give feedback and easily share that information with others. The advent of new media technology has empowered American citizens with real-time information about the policy debates and actions being undertaken by Congress. This has increasingly forced Congress to become more transparent and made it easier for American citizens to hold their elected leaders accountable.

The Committee on House Administration is considering a new rule that could bring this trend to a screeching halt. The Committee is considering the adoption of new rules that would require outside websites such as YouTube to comply with House regulations before Members of Congress could post videos on them. Under the proposal, the House Administration Committee would develop a list of “approved” websites, and Members of Congress could post content only such websites.

If the proposed rule is adopted, the free flow of information over the Internet between Americans and their representatives will be significantly curtailed. Americans who currently use free websites like YouTube to obtain uncensored daily information about congressional policy debates will instead be forced to go to websites “approved” by the House Administration Committee in order to continue getting such information. This would amount to new government censorship of the Internet, by a panel of federal officials that is neither neutral nor independent.

House Republicans, led by Reps. Vern Ehlers (R-MI), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and Tom Price (R-GA), have expressed their opposition to this attack on Internet freedom and proposed an alternative solution that would allow Members of Congress to continue posting content at sites of their choosing. I will continue to keep you updated as this situation unfolds.

New Front on Bloggers

Harry’s Place, a UK blog dedicated to promoting the ideals of freedom and democracy, is being sued by Mohammed Sawalha, the President of the British Muslim Initiative, which has been linked to Hamas and the Islamic Brotherhood, both terrorist organizations. The blog reports that Mr. Sawalha, according to the BBC…

“master minded much of Hamas’ political and military strategy” and in London “is alleged to have directed funds, both for Hamas’ armed wing, and for spreading its missionary dawah”.

In their revelation of the impending lawsuit against them leveled by Mohammed Sawalha, they write:

Mr Sawalha claims that we have “chosen a malevolent interpretation of a meaningless word”. In fact, we did no more than translate a phrase which appeared in an Al Jazeera report of Mr Sawalha’s speech. When Al Jazeera changed that phrase from “Evil Jew” to “Jewish Lobby”, we reported that fact, along with the statement that it had been a typographical error.

…Mr Sawalha says that the attribution of the phrase “Evil Jew” to him implies that he is “anti-semitic and hateful”. Notably, he does not take issue with our reporting of the revelation, made in a Panorama documentary in 2006, that he is a senior activist in the clerical fascist terrorist organisation, Hamas.

It looks like Harry’s Place is going up against some pretty top-notch lawyers on this one, and they’ve got guts, but as the post goes on to say:

If Mr Sawalha persists in attempting to silence us with this desperate legal suit, we will need your help.

We won’t be able to stand up to them alone.

This is why we’ve started this blogburst, to get the word out that we won’t let members of Hamas or any radical terrorist group censor us or any of our fellow bloggers.

Then copy and paste this entry into one of your posts. Future posts will be emailed to you. Thanks, and don’t forget to head over to Harry’s Place to show your support of their freedom of speech!
