It seems U. S. Attorney General John Ashcroft may have gotten a little closer to the Roger Weidner/Victor Oekerman "cult of the really stupid" than he might have liked. In fact, he seems to have posed for a photograph with one of the loonies in the cult, as this post points out below.
For those in law enforcement, especially here in Washington County, Oregon, the ADL Law Enforcement Agency Resource Network has some info for cops who come into contact with the loonies in the "cult of the really stupid". It is entitled Officer Safety and Extremists: An Overview for Law Enforcement Officers.
As you peruse this post remember the following names: Marcel Roy Bendshadler, Jesse Lott, Roger Weidner. It looks as though some members of the cult may have violated the following law.
ORS 162.355 Simulating legal process. (1) A person commits the crime of simulating legal process if the person knowingly issues or delivers to another person any document that in form and substance falsely simulates civil or criminal process.
(2) As used in this section:
(a) “Civil or criminal process” means a document or order, including, but not limited to, a summons, lien, complaint, warrant, injunction, writ, notice, pleading or subpoena, that is issued by a court or that is filed or recorded for the purpose of:
(A) Exercising jurisdiction;
(B) Representing a claim against a person or property;
(C) Directing a person to appear before a court or tribunal; or
(D) Directing a person to perform or refrain from performing a specified act.
(b) “Person” has the meaning given that term in ORS 161.015, except that in relation to a defendant, “person” means a human being, a public or private corporation, an unincorporated association or a partnership.
(3) Simulating legal process is a Class C felony. [1971 c.743 §210; 1997 c.395 §1]

It seems Marcel Roy Bendshadler likes to play with guns illegally. The following between blockquotes is a news report from the ADL Law Enforcement Agency Resource Network. The URL is http://www.adl.org/learn/criminal_activity/aug_01.asp.
August 24, 2001, Oregon. Portland resident and self-described "constitutional counselor" Marcel Roy Bendshadler is arrested in Klamath County after failing to appear in court on charges of illegally carrying a concealed weapon and two counts of possessing a firearm in a public building. Bendshadler, a sovereign citizen activist, claims that he is a "political prisoner."
The following URL - http://www.oregonfamilyrights.com/Weidner/corruption.htm - will take you to a photograph showing the Gastons, Roger Weidner, Jesse Lott, Marcel Bendshadler and Rachel Bendshadler. The caption is in the below blockquotes
Circa 1999 with the Gastons, Jesse Lott and Marcel Bendshadler, in Salem protesting SOSCF ("Child Services"), ODFW ("Fish and Wildlife") and other instances of government fraud. To Roger's left is now 8 year old Rachel Bendshadler, who has been kidnapped, under color of law, for the second time, this last time in Washington State.
Jesse Lott seems to be friendly enough with US Attorney General John Ashcroft to have his picture taken with John Ashcroft. The following between blockquotes is a letter from Roger Weidner to US Attorney General Ashcroft mentioning the photograph. The letter is on my website at

Attorney General John Ashcroft
United States Department of Justice
Washington D.C., 20515
September 18, 2001
Dear General Ashcroft,
I am a former attorney and public prosecutor who for the past 13 1/2 years has been waging a campaign, along with thousands of other Oregonians, against the widespread corruption in the Oregon Court systems. I was the l998 Oregon Reform Party candidate for Governor and am currently Vice-President of Oregon Judicial Watch, a 1000 member group of concerned citizens determined to restore Constitutional government to the citizens of Oregon. Through the internet we are connected with hundreds, perhaps thousands, of other like-minded citizen groups around the country, that have formed in the past 8 to 10 years to restore constitutional government to the citizens of this country
I have had the help of many, including political activist Jesse Lott, in fighting the corruption problem here in Oregon. Jesse met with you on his last trip to Washington D.C. . I am enclosing the picture of you and he together that appeared on the front page of THE OREGON OBSERVER. Also on the front page of that paper is a my picture taken in Judge Ellen Rosenblum’s courtroom on February 21, 2001. During that hearing I gave undisputed, sworn testimony, of the criminal conduct of the attorneys and judges involved in the corruption I have been fighting for the last 131/2 years. That testimony appears on the backside of the article containing our pictures. I am also enclosing an open letter, describing the corruption here in Oregon , that my mother Frances Weidner sent to President Gordon Hinckley of the Mormon Church and to Utah Senator Orin Hatch and Oregon Senator Gordon Smith, both Mormons. A copy also was sent to Michael Mossman the new U.S. Attorney for Oregon who is also a Mormon.
I am also enclosing for your review a letter I sent in December of l998 to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas describing the corruption problem. Also enclosed is a story appearing in THE SPOTLIGHT describing the abuse I have endured for exposing the judicial corruption here in Oregon . On the back page of that story is the article describing my confrontation with Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace Carson, about the judicial corruption in the Oregon court system, that took place outside a hearing room in the Oregon State Capitol.
I know you are presently consumed by the tragic terrorist attacks on this county September 11, 2001. However General Ashcroft there is a domestic enemy loose in this great land, terrorizing innocent citizens, who poses a threat to the American way of life equal to if not greater than that posed by foreign enemies. That domestic enemy, the one Thomas Jefferson warned against, is the tyranny of a corrupt judiciary.
I have been the subject of numerous arrest, some violent, twice where I thought my life was going to be taken, for attempting to speak in court, on the record, about this corruption. I have been jailed a total of 290 days and subjected to forced medical examinatons while shackled hand and foot. I believe that the only reason that I am alive today, and able to write to you about this most dangerous situation, is because of the large number of people who have been supporting our fight against this corruption. This is a fight we cannot and will not lose.
I heard both you and President Bush say that you will use the full force of our government to bring those foreign terrorist to justice for the crimes they have committed against humanity and this great Nation. So also must you General Ashcroft and President Bush, to restore integrity to our judicial system and public confidence in our institutions of government, use your great offices, with the support of the tens of thousands of us in the Patriot community, to bring these domestic enemies (corrupt, tyrannical judges and public officials) to justice.
By packing the courtroom, with outraged citizens, over the past 11 years, we have finally been able to force these corrupt judges to comply with their oaths of office and sit quiet while a “public record” is made of the criminal abuse innocent people have suffered in this community. What I have repeatedly and personally witnessed, here in Oregon, is innocent people having their children, lands and other property shamelessly stripped from them by corrupt attorneys, judges and bureaucrats in sham, many times “star chamber” type proceedings devoid of constitutionally required “equal protection” or “due process” of law.
I would most appreciate a call from your office, as well as from Senators Hatch and Smith’s offices to U.S. Attorney Michael Mossman directing him to meet with me at his earliest convenience. In that meeting I can discuss the criminal evidence I have generated in my l31/2 year battle with the judicial corruption here in Oregon . Such action would be a giant first step toward restoring integrity in the judicial systems here in Oregon and also in restoring public trust in our government. Thanking you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely
Roger Weidner

Tsk, tsk. It seems to me John Ashcroft should take a closer look at the loonies in the white supremacist, "sovereign citizen", virulent anti-government "cult of the really stupid".
The cops in Ohio had an unfortunate encounter with the loonies that left Massillon, Ohio, police officer Eric Taylor dead. The following is an excerpt from a posting at the Anti-Defamation League Law Enforcement Agency Resource Network.
Traffic Stops Involving Extremists Are Particularly Dangerous to Officers
On August 9, 2002, Massillon, Ohio, police officer Eric Taylor, 31, was shot and killed following a lengthy car chase by Donald W. Matthews, leader of a Stark County anti-government sovereign citizen group. Another Massillon officer was wounded, while Matthews himself died in the shootout. This was the latest in a series of violent confrontations between extremists and law enforcement officers in Ohio over the past few years.
The incident began after an Ohio Highway Patrol trooper stopped Matthews' Ford Taurus for speeding. When the trooper approached the vehicle, Matthews declined to cooperate. Only rolling his window down a crack, he refused to give the officer his drivers license. Instead, he lectured the officer about his 13th Amendment rights and other subjects, before abruptly driving off.
The trooper pursued Matthews and radioed for help. Matthews' vehicle was stopped once more, but Matthews again drove away before any action could be taken. By this point the chase had entered the town of Massillon and several Massillon police cruisers joined the pursuit. Matthews pulled into a gravel lot behind some construction trailers. As police officers approached, Matthews leapt out of the car while it was still in drive and began firing a handgun at the police.
One of Matthews' shots struck Eric Taylor, tearing through a kidney, as well as his pancreas, aorta, heart, and lungs. He died at a hospital several hours later. Taylor was the first Massillon police officer to be killed in the line of duty since the 1940s; he is survived by a wife and two young children.
A Ticking Time Bomb
The killer, Donald Matthews, 61, lived in the Canton suburb of Jackson Township and was active in the extreme right-wing sovereign citizen movement. For a number of years he had been involved with a group called the National Constitutional Academy led by Joe Cosma. After Cosma's death two years ago, Matthews took over the group, which has about two dozen members. Stark County has been a hotbed of sovereign citizen and militia activity since the 1990s. Matthews also taught constitutionalist classes in Cuyahoga County, another area of noted extremist activity. His last known occupation was as a salesman in a sporting goods store, a job he quit to devote himself full time to his cause.
Law enforcement officers had long been aware that Matthews was potentially dangerous. In January 1998, a Jackson Township police officer who had tried to stop Matthews for speeding wrote afterwards that Matthews had made it "very clear" that he would defend "what he believes to be his freedom to the death of himself and anyone violating his rights." Matthews told the officer that it was unconstitutional to make him have a drivers license or to follow speeding laws, that he would not honor a court summons or ticket, and that "if an officer attempted to physically arrest him, he [would] kill that officer or officers to defend his freedom." One week later, Matthews himself filed a court document in which he stated that "anyone who tries to enforce a bogus warrant will do so at their own peril." Matthews claimed that police officers "joined in coercion, intimidation, kidnapping and conduct becoming a military occupation force, and were engaged in warfare against me." An ATF agent who investigated Matthews in 1997 concluded that he was "very potentially dangerous" and should be watched closely.
Nor were law enforcement officers the only ones to consider Matthews dangerous. The owner of a local gun club informed police in 1998 that Matthews had bragged that he would kill officers who tried to serve a warrant or perform a traffic stop on him. Similarly, the owner of a local catering establishment warned police in February 2000 that Matthews threatened to kill any officer who pulled him over without a proper warrant.
Then there's the saga of loony cult member, Ray Karczewski, who has six or seven felony convictions for violating the above mentioned Oregon State Statute. Ray believes that the
vicious, relentless attacks upon my reputation and credibility by cowardly anonymous Government/Media Sponsored/Supported Intelligence Operatives has been stepped up since my last release from jail. These operatives have buried equipment under the surrounding landscape that causesn me to be extremely flatulent. Not only is the noise embarassing, the odor is terrible.
Let's remember members of the loony cult are still stalking people and you can read about it here and here and here.
Don't tell Dr. Ron Turco of Washington County, Oregon about all this, though, because he consults with members of the cult for help with his diagnoses, especially when it comes to diagnoses of the perceived enemies of the delusional cult.
Hide it
