Critical Mass posts that the academic humanities stink, ethically speaking

I agree. The silliest, most Marxist views on the planet are often parroted the most in the various humanities departments in the various institutions of higher learning. It's also my opinion that the least amount of actual scholarship occurs in the humanities departments.

Cato the Youngest brings up that view that the best air forces come from free cultures

In this post it is also brought up that the majority of successful 3rd world coup attempts are launched from inside the air force.

I think many of the points brought up in this post are probably true.

XRLQ and the Shark Blog are taking the Seattle Post-Intelligencer to task

It looks like we have a newspaper that is rewriting the constitution. It would seem to me (and I'm not a lawyer) that if you can get enough politicians in Washington, DC and the President of the U.S. to agree to go to war for any reason, it would be constitutional.

I was sentenced to death in absentia

I'm probably the only blogger out there who has been sentenced to death in absentia by a white supremacist "common law court".

More lunacy from crazy, racist Roger Weidner and his followers. This time they have a crazy plan to assassinate government workers. One of the craziest is Jim Bell, author of "Assassination Politics".

They commit all sorts of crimes and get away with it. Many of the crimes they commit are violent. They even have a Praetorian Guard that protects them while they are committing their crimes.


These idiots join email lists they know I'm on and then send private emails to the list members falsely accusing me of all sorts of evil stuff. They also send slanderous emails to anybody I link to. Sort of reminds me of "internet terrorism" at its sleaziest.

There seems to be a lot of white supremacist sympathizers in the neighborhood around where I live.

Jim Bell is the author of Assassination Politics, a lonely cry for help in a world gone mad. Bell's plan is where people bet on the date of the death of a public official, giving assassins a motive to make the kill.

Bell sat on the King's Bench, presided over by Chief Justice Charles Stewart of the Multnomah County Common Law Court (MCCLC), with such luminaries of the common law as Roger Weidner, the deputy district attorney for fraud, the man who discovered it in the system and went mad, forcibly interred at the state hospital for the insane by Judge Dorothy Baker, of the Multnomah County District Court, who, 13 years ago was in the same office Bell is suspected of bombing.

And on the other side of Bell, on the King's bench, sits Lunch, Dick Lancial, who the editor met in the back of a donut shop, magnificent guy, clerk for the MCCLC, charged with simulating court process, rousted from bed in his underwear and his computer seized by Portland city police the same moments the Feds were kicking in the door of Bell's elderly parents in their sweet Vancouver, Washington home to seize his computer.

A document found on Bell's computer reportedly bragged about bombing the
editor's office 13 years ago.

Twelve angry men. Some quiet, reserved, others open and talkative. Some
with grievances. Some with quieter agendas.

All of them white men. Calvinist Jeff Weakly, pastor for the court, who
the editor met in a bookshop, standing behind a counter expounding on the
true lost tribes of Israel.

After I divorced the psycho ex-wife, Faye Marie Oekerman, in 1980, her divorce lawyer (Roger Weidner), Victor Oekerman and some other psychos had a "common law court" and found me guilty of homosexuality, Satanism, pedophilia, the practice of Black Magic, and some other nonsense and sentenced me to death in absentia.

Of course, the particular "common law court" that found me guilty in absentia never notified me of the super secret proceedings because the people involved were and are cowards, liars, thieves, bigots, dangerously mentally insane, and just plain morons.

Over the years, since 1980, this group of morons have tried to carry out the sentence. They've even bribed people (including bribing women to become my friend and then lover) to carry out the sentence.

Common Law Courts
(Information about Northwest militia-type groups)
By Amy Minervini

University of Idaho journalism student

Vigilante justice is not just a pastime of cowboys in the Old West. Modern-day patriots are using their own court systems to threaten, harass, and even murder their opponents.



Militia members in more than 30 states use these alternative courts to further their itineraries. Common law courts, also known as citizen grand juries, operate outside of the judicial court system. They are self-elected members of a community who serve as officers, jurors and court clerks.



The committee hears cases and uses the court to propel paper attacks on local and federal officials.



"When these sovereign citizens bring a charge, the court claims power of investigation and calls accused parties to appear," said Devin Burghart and Robert Crawford, investigative journalists on militias.



"If they refuse, the court generally finds them guilty in absentia and issues punishment liens and threats of arrest, jailing or death to be enforced by the militia or constable."



According to their article "Vigilante Justice: Common Law Courts" in the Covert Action Quarterly, common law courts have issued numerous death threats to judges and jurors in the Northwest.



The Montana Freeman have been instrumental in developing this court system. "In the year that the Freeman remained fugitives, they became an inspiration to common law court groups nationwide," the writers stated.



In Southwest Oregon, a recent scuffle erupted between a civilian and a deputy sheriff. The civilian, Ted Davis, was shot and killed in the shoot-out, and friends of the deceased formed a militia in Davis' memory. "The Ted Davis Brigade would monitor the activities of the police, as in a civilian review board and serve as a kind of well-armed neighborhood watch," said a spokesman for the Brigade. "We don't expect any help from anyone except ourselves to solve and resolve law enforcement problems in Curry [County]. We want security and our rights. One comes with the other."



According to research by Burghart and Crawford, common law courts are deep-seated in the white supremacist movement. Their article shows some common law activists as having bigoted and racist agendas. "These courts are, at their core, a tool for furthering the supremacists struggle to construct a white, Christian republic on US soil. They weave conspiracy theories that scapegoat Jews and promote racist notions of citizenship."



Instead of common law courts and militias being antigovernment organizations, these journalists believe their primary goal is "replacing existing governing institutions with their own."



This same idea is echoed by Western States Center Researcher Jonn Lunsford who has noticed the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing resulted in militias in Oregon going underground. "Militias have metamorphosed into common law courts. You can think of the militia as the Department of Defense and the common law courts being the judicial system," said Lunsford. "The militia enforce the decisions of the common law courts."



The common law courts use liens, or stake legal claims, on local and federal public officials. The liens are issues of punishment and may even come in the form of death threats. According to Burghart and Crawford, activists in California face felony charges for veiled death threats to judges and jurors. Also, judges and prosecutors in Idaho and Montana have been issued arrest warrants by these courts.



With militia groups in the wary public eye, vigilante justice seems to have gotten the attention of lay and law enforcement alike. They call themselves Patriots, but will their system prevail? And if not, who will bring them down? These are questions only patience and awareness can answer.

Some of my relatives, John McClelland Hays, Neta Hays, and Chris Andrea Hays and some members of their church thought the white supremacist movement was so cool they decided to join...secretly, of course. How low can you get?

There's more of this nonsense.


EX MULTNOMAH COUNTY PROSECUTOR CLAIMS WIDESPREAD CORRUPTION

from the Oregon Observer, Nov. 1994 (re-published with permission)

The Oregon Observer is printing this story as presented by
Roger Weidner, an ex-prosecutor with the Multnomah County District
Attorney's office.

Investigators with the Oregon Observer have searched for denials
from the principals in this case to no avail. We would urge any of
the parties involved to come forward with any evidence that disputes
the validity of the claims in this story.

As a hard-hitting investigative newspaper, the Oregon Ob-
server wishes to expose the truth, unconver the facts, and present
them to the People of the entire State of Oregon. It is with this
mission in mind that this story appears in our pages.

To lend some credibility to the claims which Roger Weidner has
made in many courts, on the record, we add the following quote
from Martha Hicks, a prominent attorney at the offices of the
Oregon State Bar:

"I am prosecuting Milton Brown and have been for quite some time."
This quote was made to investigative reporter Ed Snook with
the Oregon Observer from her office on October 25, 1994.

CLAIMS OF CORRUPTION ON A GRAND SCALE
Exposed in the Oregon Supreme Court by Roger Weidner, Governor Barbara
Roberts, Attorney General Ted Kulongowski, Multnomah County District
Attorney Micheal Schrunk and other Federal, State and local officials
subpoenaed to appear before a special Grand Jury convened by Roger
Weidner on October 14, 1994 to inquire into the cirminal conduct of
attorneys and judges covering up the alleged murder of attorney Don
Kettleberg by his business partner, attorney Milton Brown and Dr.
Charles Hahn, and the conversion by Brown and Hahn of $35 million in
Kettleberg estate assets. None of the above appeared before the Grand
Jury.

Roger Weidner, an attorney on inactive status with the Oregon
State Bar and while serving on jury duty in Multnomah County on
October 14, 1994, subpoenaed not only the public officials
mentioned above but also the following:
* All justices of the Oregon Supreme Court
* All Judges of the Oregon Court of Appeals
* The entire Oregon congressional delegation
* Portland Mayor Vera Katz
* City Attorney Jeff Rogers
* All City Commissioners
* Clackamas County Commissioners and Counsel
* Mr. Teitsworth with the FBI
* Caroline Leonard, Director of the local IRS office
* Ray Taylor with the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS
* Robert Skipper, Multnomah County Sheriff
* James O'Leary, Clackamas County District Attorney
* Charles Moose, Portland Police Chief

They were all to appear to show cause why Roger Weidner,
as a member of the Multnomah County Juror Panel, should not
convene a special Grand Jury to investigate the alleged ongoing
criminal conduct of attorneys and judges in Multnomah
and Clackamas County Oregon.

The ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE and the SUBPOENA sent to those public
officials appears at the end of this article.

Weidner appeared before the Oregon Supreme Court with 40
of his supporters including Dal Ferry, editorial writer with the
Oregon Observer.

The attentive and courteous Justices sat in stunned silence as
an animated Weidner described in detail his allegations that:

1. Portland Attorney Milton Brown and Dr. Charles Hahn
murdered their business partner Don Kettleberg by writing "do
not resuscitate" on his hospital records to cause his death before
Janette Kent, Kettleberg's fiancee, returned to Portland.
Weidner contends it was necessary Kettleberg be dead when Kent returned
so Brown and Hahn could execute their forged buy-sell agreements.

2. How Brown placed his secretary Caroline Brune in as personal
representative of the Kettleberg estate while she was still on
Brown's payroll and had her prepare an estate inventory
showing the $21 million estate assets worth only $1.6 million.

3. How Brown and Hahn, with the aid of Brune and her
attorney Michael Gentry, through a series of sham transactions.

4. How Weidner has been repeatedly ordered arrested in the
presence of 40-50 supporters, when he has appeared in the
courts of Judges Lee Johnson, Don Londer, Philip Abraham,
James Ellis, Joseph Ceniceros, Gregory Milner and Steven
Mauer to make a record of the scandalous criminal conduct of
attorneys and judges in stealing all the Kettleberg estate assets
and $1.5 million in preperty belonging to New World Ministries.

5. How Weidner was violently arrested on orders of
Judge Philip Abraham when he attempted to appear in
Multnomah County Presiding Court and make a record of the
fact that he had been subpoenaed into that court by Milton
Brown and believed that a trap was being set to take his life.

6. How Weidner has been arrested 6 times in Multnomah
County Circuit Courts and 3 times in Clackamas County Circuit
Courts and incarcerated a total of 112 days on the orders
of Judges Lee Johnson, Donald Londer, James Ellis, Phillip
Abraham, Joseph Ceniceros, Steven Mauer and Gregory
Milnes when he has attempted to appear in their court and
make a record of their criminal behavior in aiding and abetting
attorneys Brown, Schmit and others in looting the Kettleberg
estate and New Wine Ministries.

7. How real estate salesman Linn Springer with the aid of
Lake Oswego attorney Ken Schmit and Kathy and George
Mason enticed pastors Helen and Chet Jones to purchase a
farm in Beavercreek, Oregon on which the debt exceeded the
value of the property.

8. How Clackamas County Judge Alan Jack ordered the
pastors off the property after they had made over $200 thousand
dollars in improvements.

9. How Clackamas County Sheriff Sergeant Terrence
Schaeffer ordered the pastors off the property at gun point and
refused to allow them to remove over $1 million in store fixtures
and inventory stored on the property. How all property
belonging to New Wine Ministries, valued in excess of $1.5 million,
was looted by Kathy Mason, Ken Schmit and others.

10. How Don Calkins, former husband of Kathy Mason and
the true owner of the property, sold his interest in the property
to Weidner in an attempt to block Schmit and others' attempt
to steal the property.

11. How Weidner was arrested by Sgt. Schaeffer when
he walked on the property, was tried and convicted of criminal
trespass by Judge Mauer and sentenced to 10 days in jail and
two years of probation.

12. How Weidner was forcibly arrested in front of 40 supporters
by Captain Sherwood Stillman and 6 armed deputies when he attempted
to appear before Judge Gregory Milnes to set aside the order
dismissing the complaint he had filed against Judges Alan Jack,
Patrick Gilroy, Sid Brockley, John Lowe, and Ken Schmit, Linn
Springer, Kathy Mason, George Mason, Capt. Stillman, Sgt.
Schaeffer, Clackamas County counsel Miles Ward and Martha
Hicks with the Oregon State Bar for racketeering.

13. How Captain Stillman locked the courtroom doors and
shuttered the windows on the doors to seal Weidner and his
supporters in the courtroom prior to forcibly arresting
Weidner.

Jane Angus was prosecuting Weidner for the Oregon State
Bar. During her 5 minute presentation tot he court, she did
not refute the truthfulness of the charges being leveled against the
attorneys and Judges named above. Nor did any of the Justices
hearing the charges question Weidner about the charges
he was making.

"It is simply intolerable that this condition in our courts and
government be allowed to continue," states Weidner. "As the
state director of the Constitutional Defenders I am asking that each person
reading this paper make it available to at least one other person.
I am also asking that each person reading this paper make a
demand on Senators Hatfield and Packwood, as well as the newly
elected members of the U.S. House of Representatives from
Oregon to compel a congressional investigation of this massive
corruption in our courts."

Our children and posterity will surely and rightfully condemn
each of us if we let it be said, that we were born free but
because of our apathy, timidity or indifference we let our Rights
protected by the Bill of Rights, that our fore-fathers fought so
hard to secure, to be taken from us without a fight.

We must all act immediately to restore adherence to the state
and U.S. Constitutions!

And there's more


PORTLAND - In a ninety minute stand off, Oregon activist Lon Mabon and his wife Bonnie confronted Multnomah County "judge" RONALD CINNIGER about the fact that Cinniger has not sworn the same oath as mandated in the Oregon Constitution in order to be a lawful judge or to proceed
against Mabons.


An overflow crowd of supporters were kept in the hallway, as a packed
courtroom watched Cinniger and Mabons discuss the challenges before the
court. The following is from personal notes taken at the trial today.

The thirteen or more media representatives were seated in the jury box
in the crowded courtroom. In the crowd were Lons father Myron Mabon,
supporters Lou Beres, with the Oregon Christian Coalition; Bob
Eckstrom, director of the Constitution Party of Oregon; Paul DeParrie,
long time advocate and Right to Life spokesman; Milt Mitcheck,
Constitutional Researcher and Court Advocate; William Mayhar,
Constitutional Scholar and advocate; Roger Weidner, Republican Governor
candidate, Republican Party; Jesse Lott, political advocate and
courtwatcher; Michael Marsh, Salem TV producer; Yvonne Heinrichs,
peoples rights advocate, and many more.

Upon entering the courtroom, Cinniger ordered that all beepers be shut
down and that if anyone spoke in the courtroom besides the parties they
would be removed. Cinniger announced the case, "Stauffer v OCA, Scott
Lively, OCA Educational Foundation, and OCA, Inc. Plaintiff CATHERINE
STAUFFER and representative BRENT FOSTER were present at the table, and
Cinniger acknowledged that Lon and Bonnie Mabon were present for the
Record.

Mabons stayed behind the bar in the court, appearing by "special
appearance" Sui Juris, retaining their own Rights and without
representation and told the court on the Record that they were
challenging the jurisdiction of the court, and did not want to enter
into a false or fictitious jurisdiction. Lon tried to speak but
Cinninger talked over him. Lon stated that he expected the judge to
uphold his rights in the courtroom, and Cinniger told Mabons that they
would not be recognized unless they came into the bar.

Bonnie Mabon stated that they were insisting on a court that
"guarantees my rights", and was ignored by Cinniger.

Attorney Foster stated that they had been trying to collect a judgement
for nine years, that on November 14 there had been a judgement debtor
hearing, and again on November 26, and that Mabons did not appear in
either of those hearings. The attorney described how a judge Ellis had
ordered a December hearing for contempt for the failure to appear at
the previous hearing.

Foster stated that on the December 12 court date the case had been
moved to federal court ( and was remanded the same day!). The attorney
stated that the hearing was rescheduled for February 7, 2002, that
there had been an error in time and then was rescheduled for today.

Cinniger asked Lon and Bonnie repeatedly to cross the bar to "respond"
to the court, which Mabons refused to do. Cinniger had Governor
candidate Roger Weidner removed when Weidner tried to suggest to Mabon
to cross the bar and make the Record against the judge for violating
Mabons rights.

Lon Mabon again told the court that he would be glad to participate if
Cinniger would sign a simple contract that stated that Mabons rights
would be upheld in the courtroom and that Cinniger in fact was a lawful
judge. Cinniger replied "I TAKE IT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE", ignoring
Mabons responses.

Cinniger turned to attorney Foster, and stated "they have challenged
the jurisdiction of the court. What is your response to this?" The
attorney stated "we think they are frivolous, this has been ruled on by
you...."; Cinniger interrupted the attorney and said " NO I HAVE NOT
RULED ON THIS OATH CHALLENGE. I ASKED YOU TO RESPOND WHY THE NAMED
DEFENDANTS SHOULD BE HELD IN CONTEMPT - THEY HAVE CHALLENGED THE
JURISDICTION".

Attorney Foster stated "that the court has ample jurisdiction under
Oregon Revised Statutes 33.015, 33.025, to issue contempt is clear".
The attorney stated "the challenge to the oath is not an issue that has
merit".

Mabon stated "your intent to uphold my rights faithfully and
impartially". Mabon asked again "did you take an oath?" Cinniger kept
ignoring Mabon.

Cinniger asked the bar representative "are you aware that the oath is
missing some words?" The attorney said "the court feels the oath is
appropriate. Cinniger said "it is appropriate for a litigant to
challenge the jurisdiction or authority of an individual acting as a
judge.... I think it is NOT frivolous.... it IS an issue. Comparing the
oaths, I found another way to look at it."

Mabon kept trying to say CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, CINNIGER, CONSTITUTIONAL
LAW !!!, but Cinniger kept ignoring Mabons accurate responses.

Cinniger said "if it even applies".

Mabon said "Taswell v Smith states ALL circuit judges MUST take the
original Constitutional oath. Cinniger stated that he had decided that
the false oath was OK, and told the bar representative "I believe Ms
Stauffer that the challenge is to be denied", and continued to proceed
against Mabons, refusing to allow any redress on the merits or the
lawfulness of his acts.

Lon Mabon said "twelve different times we have challenged this
jurisdiction. As you even stated, a legitimate challenge. Mabon said
"the court has to appreciate our reluctance to proceed without a
contract. I want you to sign my contract before these people and the
press".

Again Cinniger said "I take that to be you refuse to cooperate".
Cinniger said "the law provides for a way for disputes to be resolved"
..... "when a decision is made" ......(Lon said "IF THEY ARE A
QUALIFIED JUDGE" WITH A CONSTITUTIONAL OATH") Cinniger continued
"requires the representatives to come to court (Lon stated "WHEN YOU
ARE UNDER OATH I WILL")...

Cinniger said that the court has the power of contempt to force people
to "remedy the situation" (even though civil judgements are not
jailable offenses and jail cannot be a penalty in a civil case !)

Cinniger stated "in this case the Plaintiff is asking the court to hold
two citizens in contempt as directors of the corporation to apear at a
judgement debtor hearing. The Corporation could have appeared by other
persons. Plaintiff has made a showing that the corporate entitities and
two individuals did not appear. A remedy includes confinement. Before
we get to that, this hearing is to show why they should not be held in
contempt. Plaintiff's attorneys have asked for jail as punishment or to
induce payment to comply - until Mabons agree to participate or up to 6
months."

Cinnniger then told Mabons about their right to an attorney since they
were "unrepresented". Mabons are Sui Juris before the court and do not
waiver their rights over to any bar member "representative", but claim
their Inherent rights, demanding a constitutional court.

Lon stated "MY RIGHTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED IN THIS COURT".

Cinniger asked attorney Foster "what remedy is the Plaintiff seeking?
Foster replied "all is designed to encourage and require Mabons to pay
the judgement. We are seeking confinement until they submit to a
judgement debtor hearing. $500.00 $$ a day sanctions against each of
them, as well in the courts power. Lon as director, Bonnie as
Secretary/Treasurer, control both of the (corporate) entities. They are
high managerial agents. ORS 33.025 (3), 33.025 (d). They have failed to
recognize the jurisdiction of the court. Hold them jointly and
severally liable for attorney fees and time specific order to pay - we
have no belief they intend to pay. Original judgement 30,000, now with
interest and attorneys fees federal and state, more than $40,000.00."

Attorney Foster continued "We want a $500.00 sanction on every pleading
or motion filed by Mabons and found to be frivolous. We want the court
to strike all future motions and to strike all answers filed and that
are frivolous in this case".

Lon spoke "you are acting under an amended Article VII, NOT the lawful
constitutional Article VII, original, the lawful jurisdiction I have
claimed".

Cinniger stated "there are two kinds of persons. Here today we have a
Plaintiff, two citizens, corporate entity, and the citizens not created
by law, but as individuals. It is appropriate for the court to consider
when the corporate citizen is created, the offices have responsibility
to the corporation. Like you can't create children without
responsibility to them. A fiduciary interest. Corporate interest is
inconsistent to individual interest. A citizen who represents a
corporate body has a responsbility."

Bonnie Mabon stated "How can you say the issues are an issue but not in
this court' .... but I ruled against it' ...I don't think the issues
are frivolous." Mabon stated "if they have merit don't you have to
abide by your oath?"

An unidentified attorney appeared before the court Amicus Curiae, and
asked for time to brief the case. Cinniger denied the attorney request,
saying it was "untimely".

Cinniger proceeded to state that he found Mabons to be in contempt
"beyond a reasonable doubt", that they had not appeared nor had the
corporate entities appeared. Attorney Foster reminded Cinniger that the
Mabons "willfully" refused to comply, and Cinniger used the word
"willfully" in his finding.

Cinniger stated that he did not believe that Mabons would comply with a
disposition (compelled contract and admission of guilt), and so ordered
Mabons to jail, Lon immediately from the courtroom, Bonnie ten days
from now (March 1, 2002). Cinniger ordered the sanctions of $500.00 a
day each, on one corporate name until the amount of the original debt
is paid. Then Cinniger stated that on the second corporate name the
sanctions would be in place until double the original amount was paid.
Mabon told Cinniger that that particular corporate entity had been
closed for ten years. It was unclear to observers exactly whether
Cinniger changed that order or not. Cinniger told attorney Foster that
"all other sanctions I am denying," except attorney fees.

Cinniger stated "I find no alternative Mrs Mabon, also in contempt, and
impose six month sentence in jail, suspended for ten days.

The front row of the courtroom was cleared and Lon Mabon was led from
the courtroom in handcuffs before a crowded roomfull of angry
courtwatchers.

As Cinniger was moving to arrest Lon in the courtroom, courtwatcher
William Mayhar rose and left the room, stating loudly on the Record to
the court "I am not going to sit here and watch any more of this
treason" and left the room.

As Mayhar left, the judge ordered the sheriffs to remove Milt Mitcheck,
researcher and advocate, who affirmed that the judge had no oath to
proceed, and had stated so.

After Mitcheck was "escorted" out, Wilbur Gaston, founder of A Voice
For Children, rose and on the Record to the judge stated "I charge YOU
with treason and misprison of felony" for your acts.* Gaston was
assaulted in the hallway by Sheriffs McHenny and Greathouse, as he was
leaving, who told Gaston he had to leave the building and was being
"evicted". The sheriffs attempted to force Gaston to allow his picture
to be taken, yet said he was "not" arrested. Gaston told the sheriffs
in no uncertain terms that if they were going to take his picture they
were going to arrest him or he was leaving now. And Gaston left without
the Sheriffs following on their threats.

Courtwatchers reported that the sheriffs were confronted after Gaston
charged the judge, to arrest Cinniger. The courtwatchers asked the
Sheriffs how they were protecting a man who refused to take his lawful
oath, and that the sheriffs had just seen this confirmed for
themselves. The Sheriffs told the courtwatchers that they were unsure
what to do and said possibly after the hearing they would be arresting
Cinniger. (The paperwork to arrest Cinniger had been served on Sheriff
Dan Noelle by process server yesterday to arrest Cinniger for treason;
additional paperwork moving for prosecution and sanctions is being
filed at this time.)

In the courtroom, after Mabon was led away, courtwatchers told the
press DID YOU SEE THAT THE JUDGE REFUSED TO TAKE HIS OATH? YOU SAW IT
FOR YOURSELF NOW - THIS IS TREASON AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS AT ALL."

The sheriff directing the courtroom security said "pretty soon what you
are doing will be criminal" When asked who was "we" and what he meant,
he replied "your common law courts". The courtwatchers assured him that
when he is on trial for committing unlawfull acts against the citizens,
and that it is NOT "just doing my job", and accountability is reached,
and SOMEONE HAS TO ANSWER, then he will enjoy the same kind of court, a
rendering, where he will have no rights and no lawful judge and no
court will go to the lawfulness of the court, the bar member judges and
attorneys or the violations of lawful process.

The courtwatchers assured the sheriffs that their families are as
vulnerable as the rest of the "people" to these rights violations,
fraud, extortion and racketeering being openly operated now in Oregon.

The STATE OF OREGON corporate entity, bar representative had no defense
today in court on the Record that the judges in Oregon have NO OATH -
NO BOND - NO CONTRACT with the constitutionally sovereign Oregonians.
NO AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER.

When Cinniger told Attorney Foster "I want you to respond to this" in
court that means RESPONSE ..... as in - GIVE ME THE SUPPORTING
ARGUMENTS FOR THIS NOW TO DEFEND MYSELF WHILE I AM HANGING OUT HERE AND
EVERYONE KNOWS THE OATH I AM UNDER IS NOT CONSTITUTIONAL.

AND, JUST AS IN THE SENATE HEARINGS LAST YEAR ON THE FRAUD OF THE
AMENDED VII COURTS, THE COURT/BAR/STATE HAD NO DEFENSE. The attorney
and Cinniger discussed that this issue DOES have merit, IS important,
is NOT FRIVOLOUS, and did not allow the "vexatious litigant" filing
against Mabons to stop them from ever defending themselves again in any
court in America, federally and state.

The false oath issue has been openly reported and admitted by Oregon
Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace Carson, new information at this
time revealing more knowlege of the false oaths and that the courts
have known for twenty years that they were taking color of law "oaths",
not binding to the constitutional rights of the sovereign people. That
is how they violate every Inherent Right provided in the Bill of
Rights, and as in todays hearing, the attorney said they were
"upholding the law" and making the Mabons "follow the law".

The truth is, as is so clearly revealed in this case and in our own,
that the legislature are the perpetrators of the extreme process
violations in the non constitutional courts. This is the justice 2020,
the new rules where the bar members are ALLOWED to conduct malicious
prosecutions and lie, cheat and steal (just passed last month !) But
you go to jail. Like Lon and Bonnie. And Will and I next week, next
Thursday, if the STATE has its way with us again (sixth sham jury trial
in more than five years now !!!)

So everyone sees the REAL PICTURE is they willl NOT go to the
lawfulness of what they are doing.... it is always "that has been heard
before, we are not going to talk about what happened before, and deny
all evidence of injury or state liability. They are creating a class
immune from prosecution, are doing this NOW, where these pervert
profiteers are exploiting the people and our children by force, and NO
ONE WILL ANSWER. The governor has been subpoaened to our trial, and
once again will not appear, even though he IS the "STATE" of Oregon
face.

There is no human so far who is accountable. The feds are moving in
Oregon now and no one is stopping them. The prostitutes to the
corporate state act in the interest of the corporate state.

You heard it yourself in this article Cinniger trying to compare a
corporation to having a child, and fiduciary interest. They are NOT
acting in your "interest" and "interest" only means how much money they
make. Enron is a "department" of this fraud, the whole government is
the "criminal enterprise for profit", the banks, title companies
insurance, etc are all the same money going aroung and around (or
illusion of money !) OPERATING THROUGH THE COURTS WHO ARE PROTECTING
THE FRAUD......

SYSTEMIC colluding and conducting FRAUD against the people no level of
law or court at any level .... the federal takeover and global agenda
..... in Oregon the Pioneer police State...... Enron broke open in
Oregon after being exposed in the Western Electric grab, stealing the
Klamath property, among other exploitations..... watch Capitol
Investments in Oregon next and in Washington and New York.... they are
liquidating all their assets now, our children, our homes, our
lives..... we are slaves in their new non constitutional world .....
only "sustainable" according to what we "contribute" to the "system",
in the "interest"/money for the corporate socialist state.

PANDORAS BOX HAS BEEN OPENED and the corruption is systemic. Mabons are
standing firm in the TRUTH, have never committed any crime against
anyone, and are even "charged" and in jail for an "unarrestable"
offence. We PRAY that people see how YOU ARE NEXT as this "outreach"
claw grasps our freedom - it already proceeds as though it owns our
children and property, and as Mabons are so clearly exemplifying, we
have at this time only TYRANNY and NO REDRESS at any level of court,
and in fact NO lawful court, outside of the sovereign court we held in
Marion County on June 20, 2001, a court of Law and credible evidence.

THIS IS SERIOUS FOLKS ..... EVERYONE BETTER PAY ATTENTION AND TELL EACH
OTHER WHAT IS GOING ON AND DO IT FAST ...... THE FEDS ARE MOVING AT
THIS TIME IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS AS WE HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM, THE
COLLUSION LIKE RABID DOGS, MULTI JUDICIAL SCHEMES AT EVERY LEVEL, COVER
UP AND FRAUD.

IT WILL ALL END WHEN WE CAN GET ONE ANSWER, PROSECUTION AND
ACCOUNTABILITY, AND COURTS WITH LAWFUL OATHS TO PROTECT US.

THESE SAME UNLAWFUL OATHS APPLY TO LEGISLATORS, WHOSE OATHS ARE
NOTARIZED BY OTHER FALSE OATH JUDGES, AND GOVERNOR KITZHABER SIGNED HIS
FALSE OATH ON THE TALMUD, THE ANCIENT BABYLONIAN SLAVE CHATTEL CODE,
NOW CALLED THE U.C.C., THE "BIBLE" OF THE CULT OF THE NEW CORPORATE
SOCIALIST STATE, WITH WHOM WE HAVE SLAVE STATUS AS "US CITIZENS" WHICH
WE ARE NOT. WE ARE SOVEREIGN STATE CITIZENS IN A REPUBLIC, NOT A
DEMOCRACY. GUARANTEED THESE RIGHTS UN A LIEN ABLE.

Mabons excercised their birthright, Inherent Constitutionally protected
Rights today in the courtroom. Tonight it is seen widely on the news
that the court did NOT ANSWER THE PEOPLE.

WE ASK - WOULD NOT A JUDGE OF INTEGRITY BE PROUD TO STAND AND SAY YES -
OF COURSE I HAVE TAKEN MY CONSTITUTIONAL OATH, AS I AM BONDED AND
SWORN", but in fact, they have been playing another game in there for a
long time. Chief Justice Wallace Carson told a group of courtwatchers
in private one day "yes - I am a public servant and proud of it", yet,
the courts recently taken "new" oaths are as big a fraud as
before.....still not the right words, not to say of all the VOID
decisions that have to be dealt with, and the people injured and in
jail who have committed no crime ..... like Mabons and ourselves and
you next........ NO judge is yet under the lawful oath in Oregon.

TIME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY IN OREGON TODAY.

Subject: Court corruption

Mr. Sussman--I am an historian and former attorney and public
prosecutor who has been fighting the
pervasive corruption in the Oregon court system for the past l2 years.
For attempting to speak, in court on
the record, about the criminal conduct of attorney and judges involved
in covering up the murder of attorney
Don Kettleberg and the theft of his 80-l00 million dollar estate
I have been repeatedly arrested and to date jailed a total of 290 days.
Seventy of those days I spent in the maximum security unit of the
Oregon Insane Asylum on orders of Judge
Dorothy Baker. Judge Baker, before she ran out of the court, said I
could not aid and assist in my own defense
because I had a persecutorial delusion. The delusion was that I thought
that many of the judges in Multnomah
County were corrupt. Ed Snook with THE OREGON OBSERVER said that at
least l0,000 other people in
Oregon had the same delusion.
Until a month ago the only time I could speak in court, on the
record, was when I was being tried on
groundless criminal charges for contempt of court. Not one of the
charges I have made against the thieving
attorneys or corrupt judges, in open court, about their involvement in
stealing the Kettleberg estate, has been
denied or otherwise refuted. What I have come to realize is that the
court system in Oregon is completely
corrupted. What the Gastons and I and hundreds of other citizens around
the state are doing is what Art. I
Sec. I of the Oregon Constitution gives us an absolute right to do,
namely reform the corrupt government to
force observance of the
citizens rights to equal protection of the law and due process of law.
I don't know if you have enough backbone
to identify yourself and hear personally the horror stories about the
corruption in our courts here in Oregon. If
you do please contact me at l-503-232-669l or write me at 3526 SE

Since I was sentenced to death in absentia by one of Roger Weidner's and Victor Oekerman's white supremacist "common law courts", I find the following notice from the Washington State Patrol to be even more relevant today that it was when it came out.

Of course, if you live in loony, homophobic, racist Washington County, Oregon then don't even bother calling the local authorities because they won't do anything. I mean, after all, Washington County is one of the major areas of activity for Roger Weidner's and his buddies' loony, homophobic, white supremacist "common law court" activities.

Organized Crime Advisory Board

SUBJECT: Paper Terrorism

It has been brought to my attention that anti-government
organizations have been utilizing a tactic called "paper
terrorism" to effectively disable government. Commonly, public
officials are personally targeted. This widespread practice is
accomplished by overburdening our communications, business, or
judicial systems with frivolous or repetitive petitions, property
liens, and small claims court actions.

Enclosed is a brief explanation of this process. If you feel you
are a victim of "paper terrorism," I encourage you to contact the
Washington State Patrol, Organized Crime Intelligence Unit, in
Olympia at (360) 753-3277, for assistance.

PAPER TERRORISM

Introduction

Since the early 1990's there has been a noticeable increase in
the number of people across the country who have joined and
continue to participate in the anti-government movement. These
individuals view themselves as victims of a government conspiracy
to take away their individual rights and liberties. They do not
recognize most forms of county, state, and federal government and
therefore create their own self-styled government. National
speakers in the anti-government extremists or "Patriot" movement
conduct recruitment and information seminars across Washington
State, as well as the entire country. These seminars and
recruitment meetings fuel bizarre conspiracy theories and
communicate new trends within the anti-government movement.
Paper terrorism has grown from a trend to a full scale tactic
used upon businesses, private individuals, government services
and elected officials.

Background

Paper terrorism is designed to clog government services with
meaningless requests which consume time and disrupt schedules.
In the private sector paper terrorism is an attempt to extort
money, goods or services. Some examples of paper terrorism
activities:

* Bogus liens placed upon personal property of government
officials and private individuals.

* Frivolous lawsuits filed in state and federal courts against
businesses and government entices [sic].

* Drafting and passing counterfeit bank checks and other
fraudulent negotiable instruments aimed at defrauding the
financial community and businesses.

* Common Law Courts that issue homemade subpoenas to citizens,
businesses and government officials.

* Challenging judges in an effort to disqualify them on a
current case and to repeat their motions to disqualify these
judges from hearing future cases by referencing the prior
challenges.

* Scheming to avoid paying state sales tax during a purchase
by declaring to be a non resident and then filing claims
with the state's risk management section if refused.

* Disrupting the court system by persuading fellow jail
inmates to defend themselves as Patriots, thus tying up more
of the courts and prosecutors time.

* Distributing the extremist Citizens Handbook to foster jury
nullification.

* using the Internet to promote extremist ideas such as
"Assassination Politics" or predicting the date of death of
a law enforcement officer or government official to win a
cash price.

* Filing bogus claims in small claims court.

* Requesting information from courts, government agencies,
elected officials and businesses in the form of frivolous
questions in an effort to consume employee's time.


Tell-tale signs of Patriot extremists can often be found in their
conversation or written documents. Common indicators are
biblical passages, referring to the state as a "republic",
calling zip codes a "postal zone", refusing to acknowledge direct
questions, separating their middle and last names with a comma or
colon, placing a thumb print on a document, claiming the court
has no authority, or using the phrases: all rights reserved,
without prejudice, UCC 1-207, pro se, sui juris, united states,
Black's law.

Analysis and Trends

These anti-government extremists and supporters are convinced
citizens are being systematically oppressed by an illegal,
totalitarian government. They believe the time for traditional
political reform has passed, that their freedom will only be
secured by resistance to the law and attacks against the
government in several forms.

Members of these groups bond to one another and lose contact with
other people who hold different opinions. The isolation works to
reinforce their views, which in turn gives them new purpose.
This new purpose may take ordinary ideas to extremes, rationalize
their problems into blaming government, and cause members to
compete with each other to make stronger statements.

Trend and Incident Reporting

If you become victimized by paper terrorism, contact the
Washington State Patrol Organized Crime Intelligence Unit at
(360) 753-3277, extension 121. All acts reaching a criminal
level should be referred to your local law enforcement agency or
prosecutor's office.

The following, which deserves to be copied again, certainly explains some of the angry outbursts and ridiculous accusations some of my relatives, John McClelland Hays, Neta Hays, and Chris Andrea Hays have directed towards me since I came back from active duty in 1984.

It also explains some of the idiotic accusations against me about being evil, a homosexual Satanic pedophile, etc., and their weird statements that I have to be destroyed for this or that reason, most of which I could never figure out.

It's absolutely amazing to me that for about twenty years (that's how long they've been secret members of the white supremacist movement) they've been spying on me for Roger Weidner's and Victor Oekerman's white supremacist group AND helping them carry out the vendetta against me.

Roger Weidner, the Victor Oekerman clan, and their buddies were, with the help of some of my relatives and some of the world's stupidest Navy JAG officers and various white supremacist contacts in Florida, able to stalk me even while I was on active duty from 1980 to 1984. This would explain some of the mysterious assaults I suffered in Florida and Rota, Spain.

Members of these groups bond to one another and lose contact with
other people who hold different opinions. The isolation works to
reinforce their views, which in turn gives them new purpose.
This new purpose may take ordinary ideas to extremes, rationalize
their problems into blaming government, and cause members to
compete with each other to make stronger statements.

M E M O R A N D U M- Police Department


M E M O R A N D U M

Police Department

To: All Personnel

From: Larry J. Todd

Subject: Growth of Anti-Government Militia: Local Threat Analysis

Date: May 1, 1996

Several recent events have lead the Police Department to conduct a local threat analysis of potential militia activity in Santa Clara County and specifically in Los Gatos. There are four known organized militia units in the greater Santa Clara County area which includes the mountain regions between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz.

The members of these militia units, also known as the Patriot movement, are a mixture of the American far Right, from members of the Christian Coalition to the Ku Klux Klan -- people united by their hatred of the government. These individuals come from all walks of life. Among them are real estate agents, preachers, ranchers, electricians, computer technicians and retired military officers. They include tax protesters, millenialists, survivalists, populists, freemen, constitutionalists, militant abortion foes, radical anti-environmentalists and gun enthusiasts.

They all share a few common characteristics: they are overwhelmingly white, almost exclusively Christian and predominantly male. And they are bitterly disappointed in what they view America has become. While many Americans believe that government is cumbersome and inefficient, those in the Patriot movement are convinced that government is evil. As a result, any government agency, particularly local government which has the highest level of contact with citizens, is a potential target of Patriot attacks. The recent pipe bombing of the Tacoma, Washington, City Hall complex is an example of the extreme measures members of these groups will take.

The ongoing events involving the Freemen Militia group in Montana, combined with the Oklahoma City bombing and the Ruby Ridge and Waco incidents, have heightened the fears of the paranoid individuals who belong to these various groups and increased the possibility that additional attacks will occur. Of particular concern is the Patriots re-interpretation of the Second Amendment fueled by the high profile efforts of the NRA to over-turn the assault weapons ban and the Brady Bill. This has been further reinforced by Pat Buchanan during his effort to win nomination as Republican candidate for President. His pledge to repeal the assault ban and his repeated call for his supporters to "lock and load" has added more fuel to the Patriots belief that armed confrontation is justified. Not only do Patriots ignore the original intent of the Constitution and the U.S. Supreme Court's rulings, they ignore numerous state laws that forbid ownership of these weapons and the formation of private armies.

The Militia of Montana Field Manual, which has been widely circulated, recommends that Patriots purchase weapons with cash and never give their real names. Among the assault weapons recommended are the IN9 .45-caliber, "the ideal machine gun for urban guerrilla warfare against the police and public officials." The Militia of Montana also likes the Rugar Mini-14 because, "It uses the .223-caliber cartridge which packs a high muzzle velocity of over 3,000 feet per second and is therefore capable of penetrating most Kevlar body armor." The manual also gives step-by-step instructions on how to wage urban guerrilla warfare against the police and public officials.

Many Patriots live outside the law, openly evading income taxes, driving without licenses, refusing to register their vehicles, failing to appear in court and opening a vigilante "justice" system that only recognize the first ten amendments to the Constitution, which they believed to be God-given, not man-made. Under this common law theory, a citizen must declare himself "sovereign" to exercise his God-given rights. Women and minorities are excluded from full participation in the democratic process and are excluded from voting or holding office.

One of the primary tactics wielded by common law reactionaries is their version of the commercial lien. Patriots are increasingly filing fake liens against law enforcement officers, elected officials, district attorneys, city attorneys and judges. They will also file against anyone they perceive to be interfering with their common law rights or any other perceived injustice, according to their religious or political beliefs.

The target of such action usually has no idea that a lien has been filed against him. Although the liens have no legal affect, they often sit in court records and credit bureau files like a time bomb waiting to go off. Government officials across the country have been surprised to find such a lien against them on their credit report when they applied for a mortgage or a car loan. Although these liens have no legal standing, it can be a nightmare to have them removed and a credit record cleared.

Since "sovereign citizen" Patriots believe they are not required to pay taxes, obtain driver's licenses, or register their vehicles, they place themselves on a direct track for head-on collision with law enforcement. These patriots believe that if a police officer or some other government official should try to enforce a law in violation of their perceived rights under the common law, they have a right to defend themselves. This includes the use of deadly force.

Scores of local, state and federal officials have been indicted by "common law" grand juries. While most of these indictments remain little more than curious documents of protest, some of the more extreme common law courts take them seriously and have implemented the means for their enforcement. In a number of states, including California, militia units and other parliamentary Patriots have been empowered to "arrest" indicted officials and bring them before the common law court.

While the Police Department periodically receives letters, faxes and phone calls from individuals expressing rather bizarre beliefs, there has been a marked increase particularly regarding firearms and tax issues. Many of these communications expresses high levels of anger and are threatening in tone. Although no formal link has been made to any known militia groups, if these individuals are angry enough to communicate their feelings, those associated with the local militia groups may be equally as angry. Given the history of militia groups to convert their anger into action, it is reasonable to take these threats seriously.

Therefore, all employees should take reasonable precautions and be alert to possible threats. Appropriate caution should be exercised when packages or unusual-looking letters are received. If in doubt, leave it alone and notify the on-duty Sergeant. Document all threats. If someone claims to be a "freeman" or renounces the need to possess a drivers license, etc., make every effort to properly identify the individual. This includes making a right thumb print on a citation or FI card and taking a photograph of the individual.

There is no need to be overly concerned. The information is being provided to simply raise awareness of an evolving problem facing our society. On the other hand, it would be even more foolish to ignore this problem and adopt an attitude that these kind of activities could never happen in Los Gatos. The vast majority of militia activities have targeted officials in smaller communities in, or adjacent to, rural areas. We fit that profile perfectly.

Attached for further information is a recent bulletin from the FBI which provides the text of a memoranda from the Constitutional Militias of the United States. In addition, an overview of a recent publication by the Southern Poverty Law Center's Klan Watch Project entitled "False Patriots: The Threat of Anti-Government Extremists" is provided.

The following is more info on Roger Weidner's white supremacist, "common law court" buddies.

Jewish man who has attended gatherings of group says, "These guys are very smart" St. Louis Post-Dispatch/March 5, 2000 By Carolyn Tuft And Joe Holleman Ten years ago, a middle-aged Jewish man walked down the driveway of his house near Springfield, Mo., to get his mail. Among the bills, he found a troubling pamphlet.

It was from Gordon Winrod, a Christian Identity preacher from Gainesville, Mo. Winrod is one of the most radical of the white-supremacist Identity leaders. He is the son of the late Rev. Gerald B. Winrod of Wichita, Kan., a pro-Hitler propagandist so notorious in the 1940s that he earned the nickname "Jayhawk Nazi."

Winrod's pamphlet told of how Jews were the devil's offspring, out to kill white Christians and drink their blood.

"I couldn't believe it," said the Springfield man, whose name has been withheld at his request.

He spoke to the Anti-Defamation League and began researching the Christian Identity's racist, anti-Semitic beliefs.

At first, the man said, he thought the Identity movement was a tiny group of racist malcontents who had no intention of acting on their beliefs.

But then came the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.

The bombers, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, were linked to the militia movement, which has many members who follow the Identity doctrine.

"I said, 'Hey, these people have a plan, and they've already started working on it,'" the man said.

Increasingly troubled, he infiltrated the Identity "Superconference" last spring in Springfield. To the man, a Marine who served 2 1/2 years in Vietnam, the thought of entering a world where he was considered the offspring of the devil was not overly frightening.

"I figured these guys were goofs," he said. "But these guys are very smart. I found them offensive and dangerous."

At the conference, the man talked with Identity followers and heard diatribes about blacks, homosexuals, mixed races and -- most of all -- Jews.

"I just schmoozed them to find out whether they were planning to shoot someone or blow something up," he said. "They laid out an apocalyptic plan to get rid of all the minorities and Jews."

He also heard of a plan to make the Bible Belt of Missouri the Identity's promised land.

Last weekend, he tried to get into the "Songs for His People" conference at the Lodge of the Ozarks in Branson. He said he was quickly surrounded by organizer Norm Farnum and other Identity members.

"They'd been waiting for me," he said. "Norm said I was with the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) in St. Louis and told me, 'You're not welcome here.' "

At that time, the man said, he felt threatened and left.

David Waren, director of the ADL's St. Louis office, said the league did not ask the man to attend the meeting. The man agreed he had attended the conference on his own.

He said he doesn't know if he'll go to another but adds that someone must watch the movement. "They look for the disenfranchised, those white people who have a grievance with the world," he said.

"Then they just pick, pick, pick at the sore until they have them hooked into Identity."

----------------------------------------

The following from the Southern Poverty Law Center mentions Oregonian Robert Wangrudon, who is quoted often by Leonard Henderson of americanfamilyrightsassociation.com and Roger Weidner. Roger Weidner and Leonard Henderson communicate with each other a lot and share the same "common law court" jive philosophy.

White Nation

Basis of Freemen’s philosophy is racism

By Leonard Zeskind

"This is in the family," Schweitzer instructed his students, "Israel, the lost sheep, the select, the elect, the peculiar treasure, the royal priesthood, the Aryan, the battle axe." These were the white men who would people his common-law courts.

Schweitzer’s ideology is based on the white supremacist Christian Identity religion just as surely, then, as Richard Butler’s Aryan Nations and Thom Robb’s Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. His importance lay in his particular mix of racism, the Constitution, religion and common law.

"The connection between the Bible and the Constitution is the common law," one Freemen apologist wrote. "The common law is Biblical law applied."

The Freemen’s commercial liens, their phony checks, the threats against local officials all derived from this cosmology, and particularly its distinction between two types of citizens, one blessed with God-given superiority over the other.

AP Wire | 06/04/2003 | LA police sergeant suspended for allegedly tapping computers for personal use

LA police sergeant suspended for allegedly tapping computers for personal use
Associated Press

LOS ANGELES - A police sergeant was suspended for allegedly accessing confidential databases on behalf of a Hollywood private investigator who is facing felony weapon charges, authorities said

Sgt. Mark Arneson, a 29-year veteran of the force, was placed on inactive duty but will continue to receive a paycheck unless he is charged criminally or administratively, police Chief William Bratton said. Arneson's gun, badge and police identification also have been seized.

Authorities said Arneson is the focus of a joint investigation by the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department. Search warrants served on Hollywood private investigator Anthony Pellicano found financial records that led to Arneson. The documents showed Arneson was receiving money in addition to his LAPD salary, sources told the Los Angeles Times.

Police logs monitoring computer databases show a pattern of connections between people Pellicano was investigating and Arneson, law enforcement sources said. Federal and state law allow officers to use the computers only for official business. Failure to do so can result in criminal prosecution.

The logs indicated that Arneson had accessed personal information about Anita Busch, a Los Angeles Times reporter who was investigating actor Steven Seagal and his ties to an alleged Mafia associate. The records Arneson had access to included Busch's driver's license, car registration and driving record, police sources said.

Pellicano, 59, has been under investigation for alleged involvement in an effort to threaten Busch. He faces two felony weapon charges and one misdemeanor count of unlawfully storing C-4 explosives. If convicted, he faces up to 21 years in prison. He is free on $400,000 bail.

Pellicano was arrested in November as part of a probe into an alleged threat against Busch. An ex-convict, Alexander Proctor, has been charged with threatening Busch through such actions as planting a dead fish, a rose and a sign reading "Stop" on her car.

Proctor allegedly told an FBI informant he had been hired by Pellicano to carry out the threat on behalf of Seagal. Pellicano and Seagal have denied involvement, and neither has been charged with trying to threaten the reporter.

Chávez, Totalitarianism, and the fecklessness of the opposition

It's such a beautiful country that this should not be happening.

Here in Washington County we have people from various countries, including countries in South and Central America. What happens in those countries is important to them, and, because I'm curious about a lot of things, to me.

At first I hesitated to post anything on this but I received an email that included an opinion that I agree with. Since I don't have the complete picture of what's really happening, I'm offering the following link to a blog that has more information.


While I make fun of the globalization of economics of multinational corporations, I believe that if each nation puts in environmental and social laws that protect a nation's citizens from the excesses of multinational corporations (and man, just like governments, you gotta watch multinational corporations all the time so they don't become too sleazy) then a nation's citizens will benefit from a somewhat free market system.

The thing is, once an industry becomes powerful enough to influence local politics, many times that industry will try to effect monopolistic policies instead of free market policies and shut out all competition, either real or imagined.

In any event, here's the link.

Caracas Chronicles - Chávez, Totalitarianism, and the fecklessness of the opposition.

These days, it seems to happen alarmingly often. And it makes me shudder each time. It's a poor substitute for a proper argument, but it's murderously easy to do, so it seems to be happening more and more often. Totalitarian. Antichavistas keep describing the Chávez government as a totalitarian regime. Like nazism or Stalinism, or Pol Pot's Cambodia.

But do they stop to think about what that actually means?

To my mind, it's a charge that lays bare the incredible, fantastic level of laziness that reigns over political debate in Venezuela these days. I hear Carlos Ortega speak in these terms and I don't know whether to laugh or cry. These people wouldn't know totalitarianism if it bit them in the arse.
