Jerusalem, April 7 - Human Rights Alert (NGO) has asked Judge Moshe Gal, departing Director of Administration of Courts, and retired Judge Boaz Okon, former Magistrate Judge of the Supreme Court and former Director of Administration of Court for comments/corrections to draft report, which named them as key figures in corruption of the electronic records of the courts of the State of Israel. [1]
The draft report is primarily based on data mining of decisions of the Supreme Court, and it shows that until March 2002, all decisions of the Supreme Court were certified by the late Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen.  Since his sudden death and to this date, none of the decisions of the Supreme are certified.  Today, all decisions are published unsigned, with a disclaimer, stating that the records are subject to "editing and phrasing changes." [2]

Moreover, the report shows that numerous decisions of the Supreme Court have been falsified, including:

  •  Records that show false certifications by Shmaryahu Cohen, at times years after his death, [3] and
  •  Records that were recently produced, and show false certification by the current Chief Clerk Sarah Lifschitz. [4]
The development of new electronic record systems of the courts was reviewed by State Ombudsman, who describes the "flag project" of the Administration of Courts as one that was conducted in violation of various regulations of the State of Israel - with no bidding (to US based corporations IBM, EDS), with no specifications, with no core supervision by State employees, and with no independent examination prior to acceptance by the State client. [5]

The Human Rights Alert report also shows that following the implementation of the new electronic record systems:
  •  The Supreme Court engages in the conduct of simulated reviews and the publication of simulated decisions; [6,7]
  •  A new apostille certification arrangement was published online, which is opined as fraud on nations, which are party to the Hague Apostille Convention (1961). [8]
"A court, which refuses to certify its own records, is certified corrupt," concludes Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert.

Three Israeli computing/cryptology experts, who reviewed the evidence, expressed concern and alarm.  One of them forwarded a request for a Halachic (Jewish law) ruling by a leading Israeli rabbi, "is the Supreme Court engaged in Gneivat Da'at Ha-Tzibur (large-scale public deception)?
The draft report alleges:
Conditions, now prevailing in the electronic record systems of the national courts of the State of Israel, are in violations of any article of theUniversal Declaration of Human Rights, where integrity of the courts and the justice system is a prerequisite. Conditions, which have been established over the past decade should be deemed a simulated justice system, reflecting corruption of the courts, the Ministry of Justice, and the legal profession.
The draft report concludes:
  •  The validity of any legal public records, originating in the State of Israel, and employed in the UPR process, should be re-assessed;
  •  Nations, including but not limited to those, who are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention (1961), should re-assess any faith and credit, given to legal public records, originating in the State of Israel.
  •  The findings carry far-reaching implications in analysis of socioeconomic trends, stability of local financial markets, and regional violence.
  •  Attempts by the State of Israel to address the crisis would likely be compounded by conflicts of rivaling security, legal, and computing groups.
The draft report recommends:  
  •  Recruitment of all possible civil society agents in effort to resolve a constitutional crisis, in a nation with no constitution.
  •  Institution of a thorough, public investigation of events surrounding the death of Supreme Court Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen in 2002.
  •  Establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Conditions, which have been established in the courts of the State of Israel over the past decade, closely mimic conditions, which had been established in the US courts a decade or two earlier.[9] Corruption of the US courts is tightly linked to the current financial crisis and civil unrest in the United States, and therefore, the State of Israel should be considered at increased risk of the same.

Human Rights Alert report is prepared for the 2012 Universal Periodic Review of human rights in Israel by the Human Rights Council of the United Nations.

The 2010 submission of Human Rights Alert, for the UPR of human rights in the United States, was reviewed and incorporated into the official HRC Professional Staff Report with a note referring to “corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California.”[10]###

12-04-06 US prosecutes torture whistleblower, not the torturers




The Truth About Espionage Act Prosecution Against Whistleblower John Kiriakou



Well-played, Justice Department. Indict former CIA officer John Kiriakou on Tuesday evening, but don't unseal the indictment until 4:59pm on Thursday, right before the holiday weekend, in order to avoid press coverage of the Obama administration's 6th Espionage Act prosecution of a whistleblower.

Before I start deconstructing the Indictment, here's a key to reading the tea leaves:
Officer A = undercover
Officer B = former CIA career & targeting analyst Deuce Martinez (never undercover)
Journalist A = Matthew Cole
Journalist B = Scott Shane
Journalist C = mentioned in original charges, but dropped from Indictment
Facts Not in the Indictment/Kiriakou's Whistleblowing Disclosures:
* Refused to be trained in torture tactics
* First CIA officer to call waterboarding "torture" (2007/ABC News)
* Helped expose CIA's torture program as policy rather than playtime (2009/The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA's War on Terror)
It's outrageous that John Kiriakou, a whistleblower, is the   ONLY INDIVIDUAL TO BE PROSECUTED IN RELATION TO THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION'S TORTURE PROGRAM . 

The interrogators who tortured prisoners, the officials who gave the orders, the attorneys who authored the torture memos, and the CIA agents who destroyed the interrogation tapes have not been held professionally accountable, much less charged with crimes. But John Kiriakou is facing decades in prison for helping expose torture.
The fact that national security and intelligence officials have become the exception to the Obama administration's mantra of "looking forward, not backward" and Bush-era lawbreaking sets a dangerous precedent: if you torture a prisoner, you will not be held criminally liable, but if you blow the whistle on torture, you risk criminal prosecution under the Espionage Act.

12-04-05 Fraud in the Supreme Court of the State of Israel



  • False and deliberately misleading certifications, recently executed by the Chief Clerk on decisions of the Supreme Court of the State of Israel
    The certification statement, used by the Chief Clerk, is not the one authorized by the Regulations of the Courts, and the purported certifications are executed  on unsigned copies of the purported decisions, "subject to editing and phrasing changes". No certified electronic signatures, pursuant to the Electronic Signature Act (2001), have been established in the Supreme Court.  Since early 2003, all the electronic decisions of the Supreme Court been  published online unsigned and uncertified.  A fraudulent, unsigned, undated, apostille certification arrangement has been published online by the "Judicial Authority".  Nations, including but not limited to those, who are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention (1961), should re-assess any faith and credit, given to legal public records originating in the courts of the State of Israel.
    []   []   [] [] Supreme Court; Chief Clerks: the late Shmaryahu Cohen, Sarah Lifschitz; State of Israel
    View as PDF:
    Jerusalem, April 5 - following repeated requests,  Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), has received for the first time purported certifications by Chief Clerk Sarah Lifschitz on three judicial records of the Supreme Court of the State of Israel.  All three records originated in challenges by Dr Zernik to the integrity of the electronic record systems of the Supreme Court. [1,2] All three records are claimed to be simulated decisions of the Supreme Court. [3,4]
    All three certifications are deemed false and deliberately misleading as well, for the following reasons:
    •  If valid original judicial records had existed for any of the three decisions, they would have been the records signed by the respective justices/judges.  However, the Chief Clerk's certifications are executed on unsigned copies of the respective records, which bear the disclaimer, "subject to editing and phrasing changes".
    •  The certification statement used by the Chief Clerk is invalid:
      • The Regulations of the Courts - Office of the Clerk (2004), Regulation 6a explicitly states, that the certification statement, which the Chief Clerk is permitted to execute is “Copy Corresponds to the Original” (He’eteq Mat’im la-Maqor). [5]
      •  The March 29, 2012 cover letter of the records, signed  by Chief Clerk Sarah Lifschitz, also purports the same: that the attached records bear the certification statement, “Copy Corresponds to the Original”.
      •  In contrast, the attached records are stamped “Copying Corresponds to the Original” (Ha’ataqah Mat’imah la-Maqor).
    ____________________________________________________________[]   ____________________________________________________________ [] Excerpt from one of the three records, recently provided by Chief Clerk Sarah Lifschitz, Supreme Court of the State of Israel.  The excerpt says: "Issued today, September 21, 2011", then shows spaces for the signatures of three justices.  The footnote says, "copy subject to editing and phrasing changes", then shows the Seal of the Court, and the invalid, false certification stamp, "Copying Corresponds to the Original," with the hand signature of the Chief Clerk. ____________________________________________________________
    Consequently, request has been forwarded to the  Chief Clerk, asking for new certification of the three records, correcting the deficiencies found in the records at hand. [6]
    The findings, pertaining to the records at hand, are not unique:
    •  Since January 2003, all decisions of the Supreme Court have been published online unsigned, uncertified, and with the disclaimer - "subject to editing and phrasing changes." 
    •  Although the Supreme Court relies on electronic records, no visible certified electronic signatures, pursuant to the Electronic Signature Act(2001), have been established in the electronic record systems of the Supreme Court to this date.
    •  Numerous decisions of the Supreme Court have been falsified, particularly in 2002, following the sudden death of Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen.  Decisions, issued years after his death, bear his purported certifications. [7]
    •  The evidence indicates that Chief Clerk Sarah Lifschitz is not in control of the electronic records systems of the Supreme Court. And given that a valid certification by her on any judicial record of the Supreme Court is yet to be discovered, the nature of her appointment remains unclear.  The Administration of Courts has denied a Freedom of Information request for her appointment record, claiming that it was exempt as a "record of internal deliberations". [8]
    •  The "Judicial Authority" has also published online an undated, unsigned, false and deliberately misleading certification arrangement, relative to theHague Apostille Convention(1961).  The arrangement delegates the apostille certification authority, which is vested in the Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court (or other Deputy Clerks) to outside notaries. The arrangement is alleged as fraud on the courts of other nations, which are party to the Convention.[9]   The Administration of Courts refused to disclose, who authored the arrangement, who authorized its publication on the web, who the Justice Minister was, whose authority was invoked in the arrangement, and what the legal foundation for the apostille certification arrangement was. [9]
    Combined, the evidence shows that the Supreme Court refuses to certify its own judicial records, and when pressed, resorts to false and deliberately misleading certification procedures.

    "A court, which refuses to certify its own records, is certified corrupt," concludes Dr Zernik.

    The requests for certification of the three decisions at hand, were filed by Dr Zernik, as part of preparation of submission for the 2012 Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of human rights in the State of Israel by the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations. The submission is narrowly focused on "integrity, or lack thereof, of the electronic record systems of the courts of the State of Israel."[10]
    The draft submission alleges:
    Conditions, now prevailing in the electronic record systems of the national courts of the State of Israel, are in violations of any article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, where integrity of the courts and the justice system is a prerequisite. Conditions, which have been established over the past decade should be deemed a simulated justice system, reflecting corruption of the courts, the Ministry of Justice, and the legal profession.
    The submission concludes:
    •  The validity of any legal public records, originating in the State of Israel, and employed in the UPR process, should be re-assessed;
    •  
    Nations, including but not limited to those, who are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention (1961), should re-assess any faith and credit, given to legal public records, originating in the State of Israel.

  •  The findings carry far-reaching implications in analysis of socioeconomic trends, stability of local financial markets, and regional violence.

  •  Attempts by the State of Israel to address the crisis would likely be compounded by conflicts of rivaling security, legal, and computing groups. The submission recommends:  
    •  Recruitment of all possible civil society agents in effort to resolve a constitutional crisis, in a nation with no constitution.
    •  Institution of a thorough, public investigation of events surrounding the death of Supreme Court Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen in 2002.
    •  Establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
    Conditions, which have been established in the courts of the State of Israel over the past decade, closely mimic conditions, which had been established in the US courts a decade or two earlier.[11] Corruption of the US courts is tightly linked to the current financial crisis and civil unrest in the United States, and therefore, the State of Israel should be considered at increased risk of the same. The 2010 submission of Human Rights Alert, for the UPR of human rights in the United States, was reviewed and incorporated into the official HRC Professional Staff Report with a note referring to “corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California.” [12]###

    12-04-04 Black-hole prisons established also in the State of Israel?


    []     []   
    US-operated black-hole prisons
    Federal Bureau of Prisons, Communications Management Unit (CMU) in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA; CIA-operated secret prison, discovered in Bucharest, Romania.
    Jerusalem, April 1 - Human Rights Alert (NGO) received a response from the Ministry of Justice of the State of Israel on a Freedom of Information Act(FOIA) request, pertaining to the names, addresses, electronic records of the Detainees Courts.

    The response was considered deficient on several grounds:

    1) The response came as an unsigned email note.  Normally, the responses come as signed paper letters.  In reply, a paper document of the response, signed by an authorized person, was requested.

    2) The response denied the request, providing instead only a link to an undated "Contact" web page of the Detainees Courts, where only two courts were listed. According to media report, the Detainees Court operate in the Detainees Prisons themselves, and various external sources listed more than two such courts.  Needless to say, a link to an undated, unsigned, uncertified "Contact" web page is not a valid legal response. 

    3) The response failed to include information regarding the request to identify those, who hold administrative responsibility for the electronic records of the Detainees Courts.

    "In current US lingo, such conduct amounts to the establishment of 'black hole' prisons," says Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO).

    Human Rights Alert (NGO) filed the FOIA requests as part of preparation of the 2012 submission for the Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights in Israel by the Human Rights Council of the United Nations.  The Human Rights Alert's submission is narrowly focused on "integrity, or lack thereof, of the electronic record systems of the courts of the State of Israel." [1]
    The 2010 submission of Human Rights Alert to the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations was reviewed by the HRC professional staff and incorporated in the official HRC Professional Staff Report with a note referring to “corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California.” [2]###

    12-04-04 Police shooting of another African-American teen shocks US


    Police shooting of another African-American teen shocks US


    19-year-old college student, Kendrec McDade (file photo)

    The killing of another African-American teenager by police has shaken the US, as Americans were already angered over the earlier controversial murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by a volunteer watch guard.



    The 19-year-old college student, Kendrec McDade, was shot and killed by two Pasadena police officers on March 24.

    The incident occurred when a Pasadena resident, Oscar Carrillo, called the police to report that two armed men had robbed him of his computer and backpack and that one of them had pointed a gun at him.

    Moments later, two police officers encountered McDade, who was running on the street at the time. When he made a move at his waistband, one of officers opened fire and killed the student.

    However, no weapons or any of the stolen items were found on him.

    Two days after the shooting, police arrested Carrillo on charges of involuntary manslaughter, blaming his false claim about his assailants brandishing a gun for the police shooting.

    The incident came as public protests continue across the US over the killing of another unarmed 17-year-old African American by an armed neighborhood-watch volunteer.

    On February 26, George Zimmerman shot dead Trayvon Martin outside his father’s house, claiming he killed the teen in self-defense after being severely beaten by Martin. However, the police video footage of Zimmerman’s arrest showed no sign of injuries on him.

    Meanwhile, Human rights groups insist that the shooting of Martin was racially motivated.

    Trayvon's case has once again stirred serious concerns over a growing trend of racial discrimination against African-American communities in the US.
