PROGRESS REPORT OF AUGUST 17, 2012

NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT

Federal court ruling barring detention without charges or trial appealed NEW YORK (Reuters) – Federal prosecutors on Monday appealed a judge’s order barring enforcement of part of a law that permits indefinite military detention for those deemed to have “substantially supported” al Qaeda, the Taliban or ”associated forces.” Reported by Reuters on August 6, 2012

However, I do not see how the federal courts could enforce its order if upheld, since the President acts  without judicial review. Urge Congress to revoke the NDAA of 2012 provision which gives the President the  authority to arrest and detain any American citizen on U. S. soil indefinitely without charges or a trial. Sign  the petition at: http://act.demandprogress.org/act/ndaa_reversal/?referring_akid=a6968704.2164404._BTMlV&source=auto-e

Don Sheldon likes the article from the Miami Harold that discusses the terrible dilemma of the pilots that carry out these (illegal) orders, who are putting themselves in jeopardy of future allegations of wrong doing in courts for war crimes, though it is not expressed in exactly that way, The article does say they are
being offered psychiatric treatment.

Excerpt:

Boy killed without trial or due process:

He was 16 years old and an American citizen. He had committed
no crime and was charged with no wrongdoing, but he was
killed without trial or due process — by our military and the
CIA.

Abdulrahman Al-Aulaqi was the innocent victim of an out-of-
control CIA and Pentagon “targeted killing” program. This
shadowy program started by targeting those on secret “kill lists.”
Then, it was expanded to target those who fit a specific “pattern
of behavior” — even if their identities were unknown.

And now, outrageously, the CIA is counting “all military-age
males” in specific areas as targets unless intelligence proves
them innocent — after they’re dead.

There is a warrant for his arrest in Santa Ana, CA  because he distributed pamphlets on the sidewalk in front of the U. S. District Courthouse in Santa Ana.  Also he was arrested for the same offense, but the cases were dismissed, in Springfield, MA, Newark, NJ, and 11 times in Manhattan, NY.  However the Department of Homeland Security refuses to return his confiscated property.

He was tortured 7 times in 3 New York hospitals and once in a Springfield hospital.  He was dragged out of his bed at home  at 6:00 am by 11 law enforcement officers and placed in jail in the federal courthouse in Manhattan.

He was arrested by New York City police for standing on the sidewalk in front of the Isaiah wall across from the UN building in New York City and holding two signs which read STOP HATING JEWS.  As a result he was incarcerated for two weeks in the Riker’s Island jail before his case was dismissed in the interest of justice.  However New York City refuses to return his confiscated property.
He has been convicted for criminal contempt of Court in Orlando, FL and sentenced to 145 days in jail for distributing jury information on the sidewalk connecting the county courthouse to the parking lot. The conviction has been appealed, though Heicklen already has served 22 days in the Orange County (Orlando) jail.

In Manhattan, NY he was on trial based on a grand jury indictment forged by the U. S. Attorney.  Title 18 USC § 3161(c) states: “In any case in which a plea of not guilty is entered, the trial of a defendant charged in an information or indictment with the commission of an offense shall commence within seventy days from the filing date (and making public) of the information…” 

Judge Kimba Wood colluded in the forgery by purposely violating 18 USC § 3161(c) to give the U. S. Attorney time to produce a witness.  On at least 2 occasions, undercover agents posed as jurors to entrap Heicklen into jury tampering.  Both attempts failed.   Heicklen has copies of the recordings.  After 18 months with no success, Judge Wood dismissed the charges on April 19, 2012.

THE PRICE OF JUSTICE IS ETERNAL PUBLICITY

The situation described above is the 21st century version of the Watergate scandal of the Nixon administration.  Yet the U. S. and world press mostly have ignored this story and refuse to publicize it.  Without publicity there will be no justice.

All of the above happened because Heicklen told the truth.  The United States is now Nazi Germany of the mid 1930s.  Hitler is in the White House.  The press is afraid to report the news.  The American people are in denial.    The United States is the number 1 prison state in the world.  The mass executions are still to come. 

Opening with Kasabian’s “Days Are Forgotten”, we delve into the forgotten principle of JURY NULLIFICATION, which stems from the ancient Common Law, and which is not mentioned by most judges in contemporary courts. It’s an important power that the people have to negate bad laws! Check out the news story and our analysis. Then, listen as El G Grande explains why both Arizona and the gubment cats in DC are wrong in their immigration arguments in the Supreme Court! We go into some valuable information for liberty lovers, and stress the economic benefits of unlimited immigration!

Be Seeing You!

A federal judge ordered the dismissal on Thursday of an indictment against a retired chemistry professor who had been charged with jury tampering for advocating the controversial position known as jury nullification while standing on a plaza outside the United States Courthouse in Manhattan.

The former professor, Julian P. Heicklen, had stood outside the courthouse holding a “Jury Info” sign and handing out brochures that advocated nullification, in which jurors who disagree with a law ignore their oaths and vote to acquit a defendant accused of violating it.

The judge, Kimba M. Wood of Federal District Court, wrote in a 27-page opinion that a person violated the jury tampering statute only when he knowingly tried to influence a juror’s action or decision by means of a written communication made in relation to “a specific case pending before that juror.”

The judge wrote that she would not “stretch the interpretation” of the statute to cover speech that was “not meant to influence” a juror’s actions in a specific case.

As a catalyst for an inclusive, tolerant, liberal America, it is a pleasure to note this important civil rights victory, and express our entire global defense team’s proud appreciation for the noble decision of the United States Attorney to in effect nolle prosecui the improvident indictment.

NDAA Demonstation of February 3, 2012

I arrived at the office building of Steven Rothman, Congressman for the 9th Congressional District of NJ, at 25 Main Street, Hackensack, NJ at 12:09 pm on Friday, February 3, 2012 at 12:09 pm. The office building is across the street from the county courthouse. Congress Rothman voted in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which permits the President to confine any persons, including American citizens, on U. S. or foreign soils indefinitely without charges or a trial.

I held a sign which read:

NOW
DESTROYING
AMERICA
AGAIN

The first letter of each word was colored red and stood for National Defense Authorization Act. I distributed Bill of rights pamphlets. There was not much pedestrian traffic, so I only passed out about 20 pamphlets. However, I did sign up a new Tyranny Fighter.

The office building was on a street with heavy vehicle traffic. I stood near a traffic light, so the vehicles had a good opportunity to read the sign when the traffic light was red. I left the area at 1:30 pm.

Demonstrations against the NDAA are nationwide and occur every Friday from noon to 7:00 pm in front of offices of congressmen and senators who voted for the act (the vast majority of them). I intend to be in front of Congressman Steve Rothman’s office at 25 Main Street, Hackensack, NJ across from the Bergen County Courthouse from noon to 1:00 pm. Please join me or go to your own Congressperson’s or Senator’s office.

Federal Censorship

Censorship by the federal government has increased dramatically in recent years. Protesters hoping to hold a rally on Friday, January 13, 2012 at the U. S. District Court at 500 Pearl Street in Manhattan, NY against a Supreme Court decision that removed a ban on corporate political spending sought a permit. The request was denied by the General Services Administration. The group filed a lawsuit. Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled that the plaza surrounding the courthouse was not a public forum and upheld the decision to deny the permit.

Of course the judge’s decision was wrong, since the plaza is the sidewalk connecting Pearl and Centre Streets. Higher courts have ruled and dictionaries have defined that sidewalks are public forums. But the group got what it deserved. Why would anyone request a permit to exercise his First Amendment rights? By doing so, the protesters admitted that they did not possess those rights.

Federal agencies routinely deny” freedom of information” requests. The U. S. Government now is in the process of censoring Google and Wikipedia. The New York Times of February 2, 2012 reports on page A27 that : “…the National Science Advisory board for Biosecurity made an unprecedented request: it asked the editors of the journals Nature and Science not to publish certain details in two papers describing experiments in which scientists created a highly transmissible form of the deadly H5N1 influenza virus in ferrets.”

For years the President and the Democratic Party have been trying to outlaw guns. However they have failed because of the protection of Amendment II of the U. S. Constitution and the vociferous objection of the gun lobby. Now the administration has shifted its attempt to outlawing gun ammunition, which is not explicitly mentioned in Amendment II. If successful, Americans will no longer be able to protect themselves legally against criminals and the U. S. government. The result will be the same as it has been for outlawing narcotics: an increase in crime, prison population, and use through illegal distributions.

Story of John Thompson (reported by the Innocence Project)

In 1984, John Thompson, a 22-year-old father of two, was wrongfully convicted of two separate crimes, a robbery and murder. While facing his seventh execution date, a private investigator discovered scientific evidence of Thompson’s innocence that had been concealed for 15 years by the New Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office. Thompson was eventually exonerated of both crimes and a jury awarded him $14 million, one million for each year he spent on death row. The state appealed and eventually the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision in Connick v. Thompson ruled that the prosecutor’s office could not be held liable for their misdeeds.

Adam Heicklen & Occupy Wall Street

Adam Heicklen was arrested for filming at the occupy Wall street protest in downtown New York for the crime of “Disorderly conduct” for carrying a 16 mm film camera. During the mass arrest, an NYPD cop took the liberty of attempting to expose his film to light. He does not consider humself an “occupier,” but rather a filmmaker who once believed that this country does permit freedom of the speech and would not put over 700 innocent people into a jail cell for committing no crime. Now his opinions have altered, and he is looking to get even more involved in restoring common sense to this nation.

Although the police claimed to have imprisoned all of them for being on the Brooklyn bridge, he has unedited 16mm film proving it was a line of police who led people from the back of the organized line onto the Brooklyn bridge. He does not wish to sound like a conspiracy theorist, because the film proves beyond a doubt that his claims are true. Until now the public has only been exposed to the lies and well-edited NYPD video tape of that day. Since the trial for many of the protesters and bystanders is going to begin shortly, he is looking to get this evidence out into the public in a worthwhile manner.

At the episode Mayor Bloomberg remarked that the police were protecting the identities of protesters by forbidding pictures by a NY Times photographer.

Fund Raising

As you know, both Mark Schmidter and I are involved in legal battles. We need more money to fight these battles.

However , we can use plenty more for both legal and travel expenses.

Suggested Books

“The Non-Trials” by Julian Heicklen, Ishi Press (2011) discusses his arrest at the Isaiah Wall in Manhattan, NY, in 2007 and the subsequent legal activity. It is now available for $25.95 at Barnes and Noble, amazon.com, and

probably other booksellers. Chapter V is a discussion of jury nullification. You should read it and also the Regas brief at: http://1215.org/lawnotes/lawnotes/jurytamp.htm. I am planning on a book tour for 2011 and am available for book sales and/or speeches at any conventions. Let me know if your organization is interested.

“Actual Innocence” by Barry Scheck, Peter Neufeld (co-founders of The Innocence Project), and Jim Dwyer (a writer for the New York times), a Signet book (2001).

“Ordinary Injustice” by Amy Bach, Henry Holt and Co. (2009). Amy Bach is an attorney and journalist who spent eight years investigating the widespread courtroom failures that each day upend lives across America.

Let’s Get Free by Paul Butler, The New Press, New York (2009)

Michael Badnarik gives a course about the U. S. Constitution using his book “Good to be King.”

Mike Benoit has written a book entitled “Sham and Shame of the Federal Income Tax.” You can purchase it directly from him for five dollars. His E-mail address is in the header of this E-mail.

At some unspecified future date each of you will have a quiz by the U. S. courts on the material in these books. Failing that quiz will lead to a long prison sentence.

WARNING

The U. S. Congress has just passed a law by overwhelming majorities of both houses that gives the President the authority to have the military arrest and detain indefinitely, without trial, any person suspected of intention to harm the country. The FEMA camps are being reopened as concentration camps. When they are overloaded, the genocide will start.

Also, you should know that the Federal Protective Service, and possibly the FBI, is intercepting my E-mails. Another violation of our civil liberties. Be prudent if you write to me.

However a U. S. court recently has ruled that: If the government wants to see your emails stored by an Internet service provider, they first will have to get a warrant. See: http://www.allgov.com/Top_Stories/ViewNews/US_Court_Rules_Warrants_Needed_to_Spy_on_Emails_101216

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY IS IMMEDIATE VIGILANCE
