11-03-22 Los Angeles Jewish community should investigate racketeering among its leaders... // La comunidad de Los Ángeles judío debe investigar crimen organizado entre sus líderes ... // 洛杉矶犹太社区领袖应该探讨在其敲诈勒索...

Please sign the Petition: 

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/racketeering-in-LA-Jewish-Community/
___

We the undersigned call upon the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, and leadership of the following Los Angeles Jewish organizations to initiate investigation of racketeering among its leadership:

1) Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles

RICHARD V SANDLER - Chairman of the Board

2) Bet Tzedek - "The House of Justice"

MICHELLE WILLIAMS COURT, Vice President and General Counsel

3) American Jewish University, Los Angeles

Rabbi ROBERT WEXLER, President

4) Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies

Rabbi ROBERT WEXLER, President

5) Shalhevet School

NATHAN REYNOLDS, Interim Head of School

6) Adat Ari El Synagogue, Valley Village
Rabbi JONATHAN JAFFE BERNHARD
___

The petition pertains to the following individuals:

1) SANDOR SAMUELS (General Counsel of Bank of America Home Loans; former Chief Legal Officer, Countrywide)

• President, Bet Tzedek
• President, Adat Ari El Synagogue, Valley Village
• Board Member, American Jewish University
• Board Member, Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies.
• Board Member, Shalhevet School

2) DAVID PASTERNAK  (former President, the Los Angeles Bar Association)

• Former President, Bet Tzedek
• Apparent Board Member, Bet Tzedek (list of Board Members no longer published)

Overwhelming evidence has been produced of racketeering by SANDOR SAMUELS and DAVID PASTERNAK through real estate fraud in the courts.  Some of the evidence pertains to conduct of SANDOR SAMUELS in his capacity as President of Bet Tzedek -
"The House of Justice" - on the grounds of Bet Tzedek.  The evidence is supported by opinions of top US fraud experts.

Such evidence was central to the 2010 report by Human Rights Alert (NGO) to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations. The report was later incorporated into the official Staff Report with reference to "corruption of the courts and the legal profession... in California".

Refusal of the US government to take action does not absolve the Los Angeles Jewish Community from its duties and obligations to itself and to the public at large to safeguard the integrity of its community institutions.

11-03-20 Bank of America continues racketeering in the Los Angeles Superior Court // Bank of America continúa crimen organizado en la Corte Superior de Los Angeles // 美国银行继续在洛杉矶高级法院的诈骗

Lomas v Bank of America in the Los Angeles Superior Court documents:

• Collusion between judges, clerks, attorneys, and financial institutions in abuse of rights of the People continues, while the US Department of Justice refuses to provide protection. 
• The pending settlement by states Attorneys General of fraud by large financial institutions is nothing less than capitulation. 
• The fraud in design and operation of Sustain - the case management system of the court facilitates judicial corruption.
• Installation of Sandor Samuels (Associate General Counsel of Bank of America and former Chief Legal Officer of Countrywide), again, as President of the Bet Tzedek - "The House of Justice" - amounts to adoption of criminality as a virtue by the Los Angeles Jewish Federation.

 

  

Brian Moynihan       Sandor Samuels

In Lomas v Bank of America (KC059379) Plaintiff Susan Lomas tries to protect her rights against alleged fraud by Bank of America and others in foreclosure procedures.  Review of the "Case Summary", published online by the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, would lead a naive reader to conclude that a true litigation is underway, pursuant to the California law. [[i]]

However, when asked to produce the Register of Actions (California civil docket), Ms Lomas reported that the office of the Clerk of the Court repeatedly denied her requests to access the records, in apparent violation of First Amendment and Due Process rights.

When asked if she had been noticed and served any minutes of the proceedings, Ms Lomas reported that none was served and noticed, in apparent violation of Due Process rights.

When asked to produce copies of the minutes from the Office of the Clerk of the Court, Ms Lomas produced copies of minutes, which:

-        Were missing the Certificate of Mailing/Notice of Entry by the Clerk, and therefore were invalid court records, but were incorporated into a fraudulent court file nevertheless, and

-        Repeatedly included comments by Judge Peter J Meeka, "considered ... off of the record". [[ii]]

The case demonstrates that:

-      Judges and clerks of the Los Angeles Superior Court continue to collude and financial institutions (here - BofA and others) and law firms, large and small (here - Attorney Mark V Asdourian) in fraud and alleged racketeering in the Court.  The Court conducts of litigations, which were never deemed valid court actions by the Court itself, but are represented as such to the public at large.

-      The US Department of Justice continues to refuse to address alleged widespread corruption and racketeering by large financial institutions and judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court.  Already in the early 2000s FBI reports concluded that Los Angeles County was the "epicenter of the epidemic of real estate and mortgage fraud..." And already in 2007 complaints were filed with US Attorneys Office and FBI against Countrywide and the Los Angeles Superior Court as the key perpetrators of such fraud.  Later Congressional Inquiries were filed by Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congresswoman Diane Watson. Regardless, FBI and US Attorney General refuse to provide Equal Protection to the 10 million residents of Los Angeles County against alleged racketeering by judges of the Superior Court of California. [[iii],[iv],[v]]

-      The pending settlement by states Attorneys General of fraud by large financial institutions is nothing less than capitulation - abandoning the Human Rights of the People. [[vi]]

-      Sustain and E-court (both products of Sustain Technologies) - the case management and online public access systems of the Los Angeles Superior Court, are essential tools in facilitating judicial corruption.  [[vii]] The systems originated in the Los Angeles Superior Court, but are by now implemented in some dozen states.  The unifying theme of Sustain products, and similar systems in the federal courts (PACER and CM/ECF), [[viii]] is the denial of access to valid court records, and the publication of fraudulent court records online instead.

-      The installation, again, of Sandor Samuels, Associate General Counsel of BofA and former Chief Legal Officer of Countrywide as President of Bet Tzedek - "The House of Justice" - amounts to adoption of criminality as a virtue by the Los Angeles Jewish Federation. [[ix],[x],[xi],[xii]] In addition to Samuels, former President David Pasternak [[xiii], [xiv], [xv]] and former Executive Director Terry Friedman have been previously documented as engaging in the same practices in the courts, in concert. 

The 2010 Staff Report of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations referenced "corruption of the courts and the legal profession, and discrimination of law enforcement in California". [[xvi]]

Paul Krugman summed it up in the New York Times: "a system in which ... bankers especially, can cheat and defraud without consequences."

The current financial crisis is a widespread integrity crisis of the justice system and the US government.  Unless integrity of the courts and the legal profession are addressed, socio-economic development and civil society conditions are unlikely to improve anytime soon.

11-03-19 New computer system in the California courts - looming danger for Justice and Human Rights // Nuevo sistema informático en las cortes de California - peligro inminente para la Justicia y Derecho Humanos // 新电脑在加州法院系统-若隐若现的司法和人权权利的危险

CCMS - the new California Case Management System - a looming danger for Justice and Human Rights, must be subjected to validation by computer experts
Sustain, the case management system, which originated in Los Angeles County under the tenure of Ronald George in the Los Angeles Superior Court, was opined as fraud. It is by now implemented in some dozen states!  CCMS was an initiative of Ronald George as Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court and Chair of the California Judicial Council...
 

Ronald George, former California Chief Justice and Chair of the California Judicial Council

Los Angeles, March 19 - a recent press release by the California Judicial Council [[i]], indicates the looming implementation of the new California Case Management System (CCMS).  In response, Joseph Zernik, PhD, and Human Rights Alert (NGO), called for validation of CCMS by computer experts, subject to legal and public accountability.

CCMS was initiated under the tenure of Ronald George as Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court and Chair of the California Judicial Council. The record shows that Sustain and E-court (both products of Sustain Technologies), were initiated under Ronald George's tenure in leadership positions in the Los Angeles Superior Court. 

Conditions, which were created in the aftermath in the Los Angeles courts, were subject of the report submitted by Human Rights Alert to the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2010. The report was later incorporated into the professional staff report of the United Nations, and summed up as "corruption of the courts and the legal profession... in California". [[ii]]

• Sustain and E-court were opined as fraud, enabling the conduct of pretense litigations, the issuance of pretense judgments. [[iii]]  Nevertheless, Sustain is by now implemented in the courts of some dozen states. [[iv]]
• PACER and CM/ECF, the case management and public access systems of the US District Courts and US Courts of Appeals, were likewise implemented by the Administrative Office of the US Courts without adequate public oversight.  The record shows that the systems similarly permit the conduct of pretense litigations in the US Courts, which are presented to the public as valid court actions. [[v], [vi]]
• The Inmate Information Center, the public access system of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, was shown to enable large-scale false imprisonments under the pretense of legality. [[vii]]
• The Supreme Court of the United States implemented a case management system (name unknown) and denies any public access to valid judicial records. [[viii]]

The common theme to all these systems is denial of public access to valid legal records, and publication of fraudulent records online instead.

Combined, such fraudulent computer systems undermine Justice and Human Rights in the United States and facilitate judicial corruption.

Therefore, Human Rights Alert (NGO) calls for validation of CCMS by computer experts, subject to public and legal accountability, prior to implementation of the system in any California courts.

In Proposed Mortgage Fraud Settlement, a Gift to Big Banks

Wednesday 16 March 2011

by: Jesse Eisinger   |  ProPublica | Report

Lurking in a proposed mortgage fraud settlement with the state attorneys general is a clause that could be worth billions for the big banks.

Yes, I mean the settlement that might extract the supposedly large sum of $20 billion [1] from the banks to settle foreclosure fraud. The one denounced as a "shakedown" [2] by Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama.

Despite such rhetoric, the settlement might let the banks avoid tens of billions of write-downs, thanks to a clause with a biblical flavor: the last shall be first.

Ex-Goldman Banker Behind WSJ 'Smear Campaign' Against Elizabeth Warren

WASHINGTON -- A Wall Street Journal editorial writer who has been closely involved with the paper's recent attacks on Elizabeth Warren is a former Goldman Sachs banker. The same editorial writer, Mary Kissel, is readying another piece critical of Warren and the new consumer agency, according to a source familiar with the coming article.

...

The headline of Thursday's Journal editorial is "President Warren's Empire," which goes on to say, "The consumer bureau is essentially a bureaucratic rogue. We'd like to see Congress kill the agency entirely. But at the very least Congress should remove it from the Fed, make it part of the Treasury and subject it to annual appropriations."

Comment 

by Joseph Zernik:

The true concern should be whether the new agency has a chance at all to act any different than the existing 5 agencies that are supposed to engage in Banking Regulation in the US.

The true problem is two-fold:

• Widespread criminality in US banking operations, most notably at Bank of America. [1-4]
• Inability to prosecute banks and bankers today due to US court corruption. [5-7]

Therefore, no matter what the name or authority of the new agency would be, it is unlikely to be able to enforce the law.
