Your note on CIA and drug money was of interest to us, who live in LA under the plight of the LA-JR (alleged LA-Judiciary Racket) of the LA Superior Court.
In tracing the history of corruption of the justice system in LA county, one must note that for over a decade, starting in the early 1980's, CIA was involved in the trafficking of drugs to LA County, for sale, as part of the "Iran Contra scandal". Special Report of the U.S. Department of Justice Inspector General was published on the matter in 1997.
The report focused on claims that the CIA caused the Crack Cocaine epidemic of those year. However, the report entirely ignored to explore what experts on criminal justice profess to be the worst damage of a failed drug policy -- corruption of the justice system.
One cannot ignore the fact that the Federal Government therefore had a major role in creating what one organization tracing performance of the justice systems in various parts of the country called a "hellhole" for justice. It established a connection between federal agencies, local agencies and the courts, which had drug profiteering as its cornerstone.
A decade later, during the Rampart scandal (1998-2000) - it was still the same story - local law enforcement and federal agencies, connected with the courts in cover up of the worse corruption scandal in the history of the U.S. - and based on drug profiteering.
In the aftermath - the First Rampart Trial (2000) was derailed, and with a Federal failure to enforce the law - thousands of victims - the Rampart FIPs - who were documented in the investigation - which was the largest in the history of the U.S (200 investigator for two years) - were allowed to remain falsely imprisoned to this date. in what is a Human Rights Disgrace of historic proportions.
Regarding the Justice System of LA County, the following was written in 2000 by local legal scholars:
judges tried and sentenced a staggering number of people for crimes they did not commit. How could so many participants in the criminal justice system have failed either to recognize or to instigate any meaningful scrutiny of such appalling and repeated perversions of justice?
we felt a particular obligation to ensure that no aspect of the Los Angeles criminal justice system, including the lawyers and judges, escaped scrutiny.
Any analysis of the Rampart scandal must begin with an appreciation of the heinous nature of what the officers did. This is conduct associated with the most repressive dictators and police states.
and judges must share responsibility when innocent people are convicted.
These words were written before the victims were allowed to remain falsely imprisoned for another decade..
In 2001 - a Federal Overseer was appointed for LA - we were in the same league with 1) Guantanamo Bay, and 2) the Prison system of california, all three of us had Overseers for Civil Rights, and in all cases, I believe it would be fair to say - ti was meant only as a fig leaf - nothing more.
By 2006 - the Blue Ribbon Review Panel Report described corruption of the justice system in LA as worse than it was during the 1920's Water Wars, reflected in movie Chinatown. The report concluded that the decision in 1998 to allow LA county to investigate itself was ludicrous, and it recommended an "External Investigation". That never happened.
In 2009 - a few weeks ago, the Overseer terminated its office. To the best that I could ascertain, not a single one of the Rampart-FIP's was released through the work of that office, but it was not part of its charge either. However, a key provision in the Consent Decree that was the foundation for the office of the Overseer - periodic financial disclosure by narcotic officers - was never implemented either.
Therefore, one may assume, that the connection of federal agencies, local agencies, drug money, and the courts, continues to this very date.
Another key provision - involved access to computerized databases - I doubt that it was implemented either. In any event =- the denial of public access to public records, false jailing, and corruption of the justice system, with Federal approval - are still the core problems described below... now focused in the false jailing of Atty Richard Fine.
With that in mind, I am seeking comments on the draft below.
