12-12-31 PRESS RELEASE New, invisible electronic signatures in the Israeli courts – The courts are naked!


[Hebrew below //  עברית להלן]


Under the case of self-immolated, social protest activist Moshe Silman, Magistrate Avigail Cohen was pressed three times and refused three times to rule on: a) validity, or lack thereof, of court decisions that are purportedly signed using invisible electronic signatures, b) request for certification of her own previous decisions in the same case, and c) request for the appointment record of "Chief Clerk" Kobi Bleich.  Magistrate Cohen's conduct is opined as fraud on the court and on the requester.  It is also part of the fraud perpetrated on the late Silman in the Tel Aviv District Court, and the large-scale fraud on the people of the State of Israel in implementation of new electronic record systems in the courts over the past decade.  According to the 2010 State Ombudsman's Report, two large US-based corporations – IBM and EDS – were involved in development and implementation of the systems in violation of the law of the State of Israel.  The systems mimic key features of the fraudulent electronic record systems, which had been implemented in the state and federal courts in the United States a couple of decades earlier – fraud in implementation of electronic signatures and undermining of the authority and accountability of the offices of the clerks. The 2013 Human Rights Alert (NGO) submission for the Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights in Israel is titled, "Integrity, or lack thereof, of the electronic record systems of the courts of the State of Israel", and subtitled, "A court, which refuses to certify its own decisions, is certified corrupt".  Corruption of the courts is central to the socio-economic crisis in the United States.

Jerusalem, December 30 – in the opening lines of his last letter, the self-immolated, social protest activist Moshe Silman levels serious charges against the Tel-Aviv District Court and Magistrate Hagai Brenner.  The latest request and decision in this case have been released today by Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO). [1,2]  In her latest decision, [2] Magistrate Avigail Cohen refused to rule, for the third time, on a) validity, or lack thereof, of court decisions that are served, purportedly signed using invisible electronic signatures, b) request for certification of her own previous decisions in the same case, and c) request for the appointment record of "Chief Clerk" Kobi Bleich.

The December 13, 2012 request in part says:

1.   In her November 27, 2012 Decision, Magistrate Avigail Cohen failed to rule on any of the matters that were brought before her:
a.   Request for Due Process
On this matter, the Magistrate said:
"It is unclear to me why the Requester holds that there is a need to request 'Due Process'.  This is a self-evident matter, and I have no reason to believe that the Requester's matters are not handled through Due Process".
In proceedings, pertaining to the Request to Inspect in instant court file:
- The Court continues to serve on the Requester1 decision records, which are purportedly signed by the Magistrate, accompanied by authentication records, which are purportedly signed  by the Clerk, using invisible electronic signatures.
- The Court continues to serve on the Requester1 decision records, which fail to appear in the online public access system under the "Decisions List".
- The office of the Clerk of the Court continues to deny the Requester1 access to the "Requests List" of his own requests under the claim that such list does not exist.  The title of the Magistrate's Decision, "Request #9 in file 1752-08", demonstrates that the Court indeed maintains a "Requests List", but denies access by the public and the Requester1 to such list.
The Requester1 claims that conduct of the Court, outlined above, falls short of reasonable standards of Due Process. Therefore, the Requester1 asks for Due Process, relative to his own Request to Inspect the court file.
b.   Request for Certification by the office of the Clerk of the Court of the Magistrate's October 25, 2012 and November 19, 2012 Decisions
The Magistrate failed to rule, or say anything on this matter.
c.   Request for an Order by the Court on Mr Kobi Bleich to produce to the Requester1 and the Parties to the case his appointment record
            The Magistrate failed to rule, or say anything on this matter.
2.   The Requester1 claims that continued refusal for the Magistrate to rule on matters a-c, above, pertaining to the fundamentals of Due Process, should be deemed violation of judicial ethics.  Therefore, the Requester1 again asks that the Magistrate rule on these matters.
3.   Relative to the service of unsigned records by the Court, the Magistrate's November 27, 2012 Decision says: "There is no fault in decisions, which are signed by electronic signatures".  Such saying is meaningless, does not address and does not rule on the Request.  Obviously, there is no fault in judicial records that are signed, using visible and detectible electronic signatures.  Requester1 claims that that the service of judicial decision records by the Court, which are purportedly signed using invisible and undetectable, is similar in its essence to the fraud that is at the foundation of the fable "The Emperor's New Clothes", where the tailors pretended to sew for the emperor invisible new clothes.  In case the Magistrate faces technical difficulties in producing records that are signed using visible and detectible electronic signatures, there is nothing preventing her and the Clerk from signing the records, produced by the electronic system, using visible and detectible hand signatures.
4.   In her November 27, 2012 Decision, the Magistrate also says, "It is recommended that the Requester focus on his original request – to inspect the court file".   Requester1 is not an attorney, and has no legal education, but his understanding is that such saying is not valid and inappropriate: A judge should rule on requests duly filed.  Moreover, requests pertaining to competency and validity of the Court supersede other matters currently before the Court in this matter.  The requests, filed herein for the third time, all pertain to the competency and validity, or incompetency and invalidity of the conduct of the Court, pertaining to the Request to Inspect.

The December 13, 2012 Decision was served as usual in paper form, and is of the electronic "Post-it Decision" type.  The Decision fails to name the court, and is unsigned.  The decision record was accompanied by an unsigned authentication letter by an unnamed "Clerk".

The decision says:
My decision, dated November 27, 2012, stands.  It is possible to appeal my decisions, pursuant to the law.  There is no room to file additional requests in the same matter, since I will repeat my decision once again.

Magistrate Cohen's latest decision should be deemed fraud on the Requester: An unsigned judicial record, which fails to name the originating court, and which is accompanied by an unsigned authentication record by an unnamed "Clerk" cannot possibly be deemed an appealable judicial record.

The latest episode is part of the fraud perpetrated on the late Moshe Silman in the Tel Aviv District Court, where the original complaint was filed under a court file number, which now the Court claims never existed, where Magistrate Hagai Brenner denied the original complaint, and Pro Tem District Judge Hagai Brenner denied the appeal from his own decision. [3]

The falsification of electronic court records in the Tel-Aviv District Court is not unique to the case of Silman either.  Last year Deputy Presiding Judge Vardah AlSheikh was caught falsifying her own court records.  Judge AlSheikh handles some of the largest cases of default by financial corporations in Israel in recent years.

Conditions in the Tel Aviv District Court, where Mr Kobi Bleich has been occupying the office of the Chief Clerk for over two years with no lawful appointment record, are matched by the Supreme Court of the State of Israel, where Ms Sarah Lifschitz has been occupying the office of Chief Clerk for over a decade with no lawful appointment record. [4]

The case of the late Moshe Silman is also part of a large-scale fraud on the people of the State of Israel in implementation of invalid electronic record systems in the courts over the past decade.

According to the State Ombudsman's Report 60b, two large US-based corporations, IBM and EDS, were involved in development and implementation of the systems in violation of the law of the State of Israel. [5] Indeed, the fraudulent systems, which were implemented in the Israeli courts, mimic the invalid, fraudulent systems, which had been implemented in the state and federal courts in the United States a couple of decades earlier – invalid implementation of electronic signatures and undermining the authority and accountability of the clerks of the courts. [6,7]

The 2013 Human Rights Alert (NGO) submission for the Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights in Israel is titled, "Integrity, or lack thereof, of the electronic record systems of the courts of the State of Israel", and subtitled, "A court, which refuses to certify its own decisions, is certified corrupt". [5]

Corruption of the state and federal courts in the United States has been increasingly recognized as central to the current socio-economic crisis. (see quotes below)

בבית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב משה סילמן וכתבים אלקטרוניים (נט המשפט)
         
הרשמת אביגיל כהן התבקשה שלוש פעמים, וסירבה שלוש פעמים לפסוק על: א) אמינותם, או חוסר אמינותם של חתימות אלקטרוניות בלתי נראות ובלתי גלויות על החלטות בית המשפט, ב) בקשה לאישור על יד המזכיר של החלטותיה הקודמות של הרשמת, ג) בקשה להמצאת כתב מינויו של ה"מזכיר ראשי" קובי בלייך.  התנהלותה של הרשמת כהן היא בבחינת מרמה על המבקש ועל בית המשפט.  התנהלות זאת היא גם חלק מן המרמה בבית המשפט המחוזי בתיקי משה סילמן בכללם, ומרמה רחבת היקף ב"נט המשפט" ומערכות אלקטרוניות דומות שהוטמעו בבתי המשפט בעשור האחרון.  על פי דוח מבקר המדינה לשנת 2010, שתי חברות אמריקאיות – יבמ ו- אי.די.אס – היו מעורבות בפרויקט בניגוד לחוקי מדינת ישראל. המערכות שהונהגו בישראל גם מחקות את המרכיבים המרכזיים במרמה במערכות דומות שהותקנו בבתי המשפט בארה"ב כעשרים שנה מוקדם יותר – חתימות אלקטרוניות בלתי אמינות, וערעור סמכותם ואחריותם של מזכירי בתי המשפט. כותרתו של דו"ח סייג לזכויות האדם לשנת 2013 למועצת זכויות האדם של האו"ם היא "אמינותם, או חוסר אמינותם של מערכות הכתבים האלקטרוניים בבתי המשפט בישראל".  כותרת המשנה היא "בית משפט המסרב לאשר את החלטותיו הוא – הריהו מאושר כמושחת."
