13-11-22 Tel-Aviv, Friday afternoon at the market square




The weather is close to perfect.  Sunny and cool.
In the front is a football juggler (חנן המקפיץ) behind him, seated, is a local messiah.
And in the back, surrounded by a tight crowd as usual, is Miri Aloni - a 70s flower child singer.  She stood next to Rabin on stage, minutes before the assassination.   The fact that she routinely performs in the street with no security detail is cause for hope.


13-11-22 Origins of Habeas Corpus in the English common law, and US law procedure

As much as I loath Wikipedia, the presentation is interesting, and of particular interest is the Writ of Habeas Corpus, from the 2nd Circuit, Southern District of New York.
As previously suggested, the Writ of Habeas Corpus is indeed originated as a form of Summons, through which the court assumes jurisdiction over the prisoner and the custodian.
The form of the Writ from the NYSD indeed fits this origin.
Has anybody seen any proper Writ of Habeas Corpus in any US court in the recent 20 years?  I have reviewed thousands of cases of Petitions for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, none included a Writ of Habeas Corpus as the commencing record in lieu of summons!

Habeas corpus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A writ of habeas corpus (English pronunciation: /ˌhbiəs ˈkɔrpəs/Latin: "may you have the body") is a writ (court order) that requires a person under arrest to be brought before a judge or into court.[1][2] The principle of habeas corpus ensures that a prisoner can be released from unlawful detention—that is, detention lacking sufficient cause or evidence. The remedy can be sought by the prisoner or by another person coming to the prisoner's aid. This right originated in the English legal system, and is now available in many nations. It has historically been an important legal instrument safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary state action.
A writ of habeas corpus, also known as the "great writ", is a summons with the force of a court order; it is addressed to the custodian (a prison official for example) and demands that a prisoner be taken before the court, and that the custodian present proof of authority, allowing the court to determine whether the custodian has lawful authority to detain the prisoner. If the custodian is acting beyond his authority, then the prisoner must be released. Any prisoner, or another person acting on his or her behalf, may petition the court, or a judge, for a writ of habeas corpus. One reason for the writ to be sought by a person other than the prisoner is that the detainee might be held incommunicado. Most civil law jurisdictions provide a similar remedy for those unlawfully detained, but this is not always called "habeas corpus".[3] For example, in some Spanish-speaking nations, the equivalent remedy for unlawful imprisonment is the amparo de libertad ('protection of freedom').
Habeas corpus has certain limitations. It is technically only a procedural remedy; it is a guarantee against any detention that is forbidden by law, but it does not necessarily protect other rights, such as the entitlement to a fair trial. So if an imposition such as internment without trial is permitted by the law, then habeas corpus may not be a useful remedy. In some countries, the process has been temporarily or permanently suspended, in all of a government's jurisdictions or only some, because of what might be construed by some government institutions as a series of events of such relevance to the government as to warrant a suspension; in more recent times, such events may have been frequently referred to as "national emergencies."
The right to petition for a writ of habeas corpus has nonetheless long been celebrated as the most efficient safeguard of the liberty of the subject. The jurist Albert Venn Dicey wrote that the British Habeas Corpus Acts "declare no principle and define no rights, but they are for practical purposes worth a hundred constitutional articles guaranteeing individual liberty".[4]
The writ of habeas corpus is one of what are called the "extraordinary", "common law", or "prerogative writs", which were historically issued by the English courts in the name of the monarch to control inferior courts and public authorities within the kingdom. The most common of the other such prerogative writs are quo warrantoprohibitomandamusprocedendo, and certiorari. The due process for such petitions is not simply civil or criminal, because they incorporate the presumption of non-authority. The official who is the respondent has the burden to prove his authority to do or not do something. Failing this, the court must decide for the petitioner, who may be any person, not just an interested party. This differs from a motion in a civil process in which the movant must have standing, and bears the burden of proof.

13-11-22 US: Oakland moves forward with plans for Orwellian surveillance complex



13-11-22 ISRAEL: School kids taught that Prime Minister Rabin was NOT assassinated by a lone gunman...

This morning, Haaretz daily finds an outrage in the fact that kids in some schools were apparently taught that Prime Minister Rabin was NOT assassinated by a lone gunman.  (the piece appears neither in the online nor in the English editions).
It is not clear what is so outrageous about kids hearing the truth from time to time... :)


According to the official narrative, the paper was folded in four in Rabin's breast pocket during the assassination.
However:
a) The paper shows only one bullet hole, not four.
b)  According to the official version Rabin was shot in his back, and the hole in the paper appears as an entry hole, not an exit hole.
