Hi Shirley:
The only way I could describe the situation as a whole, was that the US somehow, unnoticed, slipped back into the Medieval Era, with certain guilds, fiefdoms, and principalities assuming tyrannical powers over professions, territories, properties, and persons' liberty.

The widespread false imprisonments in Los Angeles County, California, were prototypical. Such false imprisonments were facilitated by alleged fraud in public computer systems (case management systems - CMSs) ranging from the one logging in jail and prison inmates, to the ones running the Superior Court, the US District Court, and the US Court of Appeals, 9th circuit, combined with denial of access to public records, which were the records on the very same computer systems...

Such evidence suggested that slipping back into the Medieval Era was in fact tied to the switch from the Paper Era to the Digital Era. Whoever was first to get control of the critical computer in a particular domain assumed tyrannical powers in that area by creating secret records and concealing public records, denying access to what had been established as public records in the Paper Era.

In contrast - consider the power of the Press in bringing the Medieval Era to an end. Prior to that, control of manuscripts was essential to the repression of freedom. The concept of Public Records, in and of itself, appeared in the late Medieval Era. Computers, when abused, had the opposite effect.

Therefore, this new era should be recognized as the "Digital-medieval Era."

Correct diagnosis of the problem also pointed out to the cure. I offer that the following were the critical diagnostic and treatment procedures:
1) Identifying and publicizing the list databases and servers that held public records of interest.
2) Identifying records and databases, where public access to such public records was denied.
3) Publicizing the lists of public records, which were no longer available for public access.
4) Fighting to restore public access to such public records.

The question remained for legal experts to answer, whether such records remained valid and effectual, if they were public records by law, but public access was denied to them.

I would be grateful for any insights from Texas and the TMB on the subject.

Truly,

Joe Zernik
