Most Popular Publication in 2010
Countrywide, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), and its President Brian Moynihan - Compilation of Records - Evidence of Racketeering
Los Angeles, December 28 - a paper that is largely a compilation of records produced by or on behalf of Countrywide, BofA, and its President Brian Moynihan, continues to gain in popularity. [1] Published in May 2010, it is by far the most read record on the Human Rights Alert Scribd site, with over 12,000 readers. The paper alleges that combined, the records provide sufficient evidence for indictment of Countrywide, BofA, and Brian Moynihan for racketeering in the Superior Court of California and the US District Court, Central District of California.
The paper claims that Moynihan's direct involvement in the racketeering started on his first day as General Counsel of BofA in December 2008.
On December 10, 2008, Mr Timothy Mayopoulos was summarily dismissed as General Counsel and was escorted out of the BofA headquarters by security in the midst of negotiation of the BofA merger with Merrill Lynch. Brian Moynihan, with little or no experience in the practice of the law was immediately appointed as his successor.
The matter was later subject of probes by the US Congress, by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, and by the US District Court in New York. All of these probes seemed to lead nowhere. In contrast, the paper, which was published by Human Rights Alert, produces evidence that Mayopoulos objected to the alleged racketeering in the California courts, as practiced by Countrywide, and brought it to a halt following the July 1, 2008 takeover of Countrywide by BofA. Such conduct was renewed in full force within 24 hours after Mayopoulos's dismissal and Moynihan's appointment in December 2008.
In second place among papers published in 2010 on the Human Rights Alert Scribd site (with over 11,000 readers) is a letter to the Chairs of the US Congress Judiciary and Banking Committees, asking them to join Inquiries by California Senator Dianne Feinstein on the Controller of the Currency and on the US Department of Justice Inspector General, pertaining to the conduct of Bank of America in the California courts. [2]
In January 2011, WikiLeaks promised to release records of a major US bank, believed to be BofA, which would provide evidence serious violations of the law. The Human Rights Alert publications have already provided clear and abundant evidence of such conduct by BofA and its senior executives. US mainstream media appear reluctant to report on the matter. Of note, a New York Times editorial this week also expressed concerns of retribution by BofA against the New York Times, if it publishes the WikiLeaks banking papers in January 2011.
In third and fourth places (with over 8,000 readers each) among Human Rights Alert 2010 publications are two papers providing evidence of large-scale false imprisonments in the Los Angeles jails. [3, 4]
Combined, the papers paint a picture of serious violations of Human Rights by the justice system and refusal of the US government to enforce the law in California.
A short report, regarding the California justice system, produced by Human Rights Alert in April 2010, was incorporated into an official United Nations report with reference to "corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California." [5]

Moynihan looks amazingly like Robin Williams in that photo! Here’s a story for you about Moynihan and BOA: “Bank Of America Buys Up Nasty Domain Names In Defensive Move.”
The company seems to be buying up scores of domain names that portray the financial behemoth and CEO Brian Moynihan in a negative light.

ReplyDeleteComment by Joseph Zernik, Los Angeles, CA just now
Hi P.M.:
The editorial of the NYT this week was a moment of clarity, showing the distribution of power today among the four branches of government:
a) The Judicial
b) The Legislative
c) The Executive
d) Large financial institutions
The NYT was not afraid to publish the WikiLeak paper on the US gov, but it is afraid to publish the WikiLeaks papers on BofA...
BofA already has the other three branches in its pocket:
a) The Judicial: I filed with one US Judge (Virginia Phillips), one US Magistrate (Carla Woehrle) and one California Judge (Terry Friedman), requests to file statements on the record pursuant to the California Code of Judicial Conduct - Whether they or family members living with them got financial benefits from Countrywide or BofA.
All three refused to file such statements.
b) The Legislative and the Executive - are up for sale, following the 2010 "First Amendment" decision in the matter by SCOTUS.
So the only venue left if the internet. Therefore, the need to control it as well.
