10-12-30 Broadening coalition: Capital's war against WikiLeaks // Coalición en la Guerra Contra WikiLeaks // 维基解密联盟发动战争


Opinion
Capital's war against WikiLeaks
Can the leak phenonomen sustain the continued assault by the corporate sector to prevail in the first ever cyber-war?

Mark LeVine Last Modified: 29 Dec 2010 13:47 GMT

In the words of Thomas Friedman,"the hidden hand of the market will never work without the hidden fist. McDonald's cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas..."[EPA]

When your Swiss banker throws you overboard, you know you've made some very powerful enemies.

Long famed for hiding money for everyone from Nazis and drug lords to spies and dictators, the Swiss government's banking arm has decided that WikiLeaks and Julian Assange are just too hot even for it to handle.

And so the PostFinance, which runs the country's banks, declared in early December that it had "ended its business relationship with WikiLeaks founder Julian Paul Assange" after accusing Mr. Assange of - gasp! - providing false information about his place of residence.

This move followed similar moves by credit card companies MasterCard and Visa, as well as PayPal and Amazon.com, to no longer process WikiLeaks payments and, in Amazon.com's case, to cease hosting its data.

As I write this, Bank of America has joined the crescendo of corporations taking aim at WikiLeaks, refusing to process payments for it any longer because of "our reasonable belief that WikiLeaks may be engaged in activities that are, among other things, inconsistent with our internal policies for processing payments."

And soon after, none other than Apple joined the chorus, pulling the plug on a WikiLeaks app only days after it went on sale on its iTunes website. Every sector of the corporate economy, it seems, is out to get WikiLeaks.

Hi []:

Thanks for providing the case number.  I will take a look at the docket.

Given the nature of the case you are describing, it is likely that you are victim of invalid/ pretense litigation by the court.  Your comment "DAMN CLERK" misses the point.  In such conduct the clerks are operating in tight collusion with the judges.

We are back at square one:

Do you have the NEFs (Notices of Electronic Filing) for any of the papers issued by the Clerk or the Judge/Magistrate in your case? 

Of particular significance are the NEFs of: i. Summons, ii. Assignment Order of a Judge, iii. Referral Order to a Magistrate, iii. Minutes, iv. Orders, v. Judgments.

Needless to say, if the NEF of the summons is invalid, which is likely, your litigation was designated by the court as invalid, albeit, without your knowledge, from the start.  Similarly, if the Assignment Order and Referral Order are invalid, the Judge and the Magistrate are acting with no judicial authority. Their conduct should under such circumstances be deemed extrajudicial conduct, with no immunity.
  • If you have the NEFs, I would be grateful if you forward copies for my archive.
  • If you do not have the NEFs, you can see detailed instructions on how to get them at the link below. [1]
  • You may also wish to ask the Clerk of the US District Court to certify a copy of your PACER docket.  The response would be telling.
  • I also highly recommend that you read the Motion to Intervene in Log Cabins Republicans v USA et al. [2] 
The intervention in Log Cabins Republicans v USA et al deliberately avoided any discussion of the matter of "Don't Ask Don't Tell".

Instead, the focus of the Intervention is the conduct of litigation in Log Cabins Republicans v USA et al, which  was deliberately void from start to finish, with two judges appearing with no assignment orders, with no summons and no complaint docketed, with no execution or waiver of execution of service of the summons and complaint, and with the publication of two opposing judgments: one in 2006, which was published as "entered" in the Judgment Index, and was never overturned, and the second, opposing judgment, which was published as "entered" in 2010, but fails to appear in the Judgment Index, and is now subject to appeals.

Today, the Clerk of the Court is refusing to certify the PACER docket, and also refuses to provide copies of the electronic certificates (NEFs) of the two judgments.

The only way to describe such conduct, is the way the US Courts were described in the US congress a century ago - "a burlesque". [3] Both a century ago and today, central to orchestrating the "burlesque" are the clerks, through refusing to file papers and through the publication in the PACER dockets of summons, minutes, orders, judgments as "entered", while they are not deemed by the court itself as valid. 

Needless to say, such conduct should be deemed in violation of the Clerks' Oath of Office.

Most important from your perspective in the Motion to Intervene is a collection of sample NEFs, showing you both valid and invalid NEFs, so that you can review you own NEFs, once you get them.

The Motion to Intervene also includes discussion of the NEF as a Certificate of Authentication/Attestation, as held by the US Courts.

The Motion to Intervene asks the US Court of Appeals 9th Circuit to enter two Declaratory Mandates:
a)  that the NEFs, as drafted,  are invalid Certificates by the Clerk, and
b) that implementation of the NEFs by the US District Court as replacement of the Certificates of Service by the Clerk amounts to Deprivation of Rights under the Color of Law

Several reasons are provided. One pertains to the language of the NEFs, which includes no certification.  The other main reason - denial of access to pro se litigants and the public at large.

The Motion claims that the US District Court in fact established two classes, separate and unequal, in access to essential court records:
a) Authorized counsel and the US District Court, and
b) The public at large and pro se litigants.

The Motion to Intervene alleges that such conduct violates First Amendment, Due Process, Access to the Courts, and Equal Protection rights.

The former class is permitted to know, which records are valid and which are void court records, the latter is deliberately kept in the dark.

Although the entire discussion pertains to the US District Court, Central District of California, the discussion, and also the sample NEFs apply just as well to any US District Court across the nation.  I have similar samples from other US District Courts across the US.

The Motion to Intervene was alternatively construed as Notice to Reliably Inform The Court of Unprofessional Conduct, and it called upon the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, to initiate corrective actions pursuant to the Code of Conduct of US Judges - through entering the requested Mandates.

Therefore, it is claimed that any ruling on the matter would be of significance, including refusal to permit Leave to File.  I consider even refusal of the Clerk of the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, to docket the Motion - with no authority - as significant in this matter. 

In sum: It does not make sense to participate in litigation where you are denied the ability to know which of the court records in your PACER docket are valid and which are void, unless you are fond of being abused. The conduct of litigation under such circumstances falls in my opinion under what is called in fraud lingo "Shell Game Fraud" or "Confidence Trick".

Lane assaulted Halena Lewis and me on a county road and drew a knife on the water commissioner.  That's described in our complaint.

Very weird and bad things have gone on in the federal court since Jerry and I sued Lane, as well.  (He's one of 21 defendants in 10 CV 1850.)  I moved for entry of default and default judgment, because he didn't answer, and the clerk denied entry of default, saying various things about the return of service not showing that service was properly made, when on its face the server's affidavit provided every piece of information she said wasn't there.  I submitted a supplemental affidavit from Jerry Lewis, and renewed the motion for default--and same thing.  We are just held up by the clerk.  She did the same thing with our motion for default of Bob Swenson.

HELD UP BY THE DAMN CLERK.

So I moved the judge/magistrate to overrule the clerk, showing that everything was there which she said was not, and of course my motion has not been ruled on.  NONE of my motions have been ruled on except those for extension of time.

Well, the answer is twofold:

2) To put those I correspond with on notice, that all such email correspondence is likely to be monitored.

10-12-29 US refuses cooperation with Poland’s CIA ‘black site’ probe // EE.UU. se niega a cooperar con Polonia en la investigación de tortura de la CIA en Polonia // 美国拒绝与波兰合作调查美国中央情报局在波兰酷刑

US refuses cooperation with Poland’s CIA ‘black site’ probe

28.12.2010 13:40
A giant billboard has appeared on Ulica Żydowska in Poznan, designed by theAbnormals.org artistic group declaring “Welcome to Poland – where they torture people.”
The U.S. Department of Justice has rejected a request from prosecutors in Warsaw for assistance in the investigation into the alleged CIA prisons in Poland, where captives claim they were tortured.

On 18 March, the Prosecutor’s Office of Appeal in Warsaw filed a motion for legal assistance from the US Department of Justice into the probe. 

On 7 October, reports the PAP news agency, the US informed prosecutors that the motion had been rejected on the basis of the international Agreement on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters and that the U.S. authorities consider the matter “to be closed”.

According to the agreement, a country has the right to refuse to provide legal assistance if the execution of the request would encroach on this country’s security or another interest of this country.

The revelation that the US will not be cooperating with the investigation into the alleged black site, thought to have been in northern Poland near the Szymany air base, comes after a second man followed al-Qaeda suspect Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri in asking prosecutors in Warsaw to look into his case.

"According to the information we have, Abu Zubaydah was one of those people detained and interrogated by the CIA somewhere on the territory of Poland," Polish lawyer Bartlomiej Jankowski told journalists in the Polish capital earlier this month.

Both Zubaydah and Nashiri are both currently being held at the U.S. military jail at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

Despite denials from former president Aleksander Kwasniewski and former prime minister Leszek Miller that they knew of the CIA activity in Poland, air traffic control in warsaw published a report stating that at least six CIA flights had landed at a disused military air base in northern Poland in 2003.

Two aircraft, a Boeing 737 and a Gulfstream V, were US-registered and previously known to be part of CIA operations. (pg/mg)

Several investigations are currently underway of alleged corruption of the courts and the legal profession in Florida.
In one of them, the Florida Attorney General is investigating alleged "deceptive practices" through filing of fabricated legal records by a large Florida law firms as part of foreclosure proceedings, in order to obtain judgments against homeowners.
In a recent ruling by Judge Cox, the Florida Attorney General was prohibited from investigation such alleged corruption, under the rationale that pursuant to the Florida Constitution, only the court has authority to regulate admissions to the bar.
In business terms the model would be called vertical integration or synergy.

In organized crime terms such business model would be called protection.

10-12-28 Most Popular Publication in 2010: Countrywide, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), and its President Brian Moynihan - Compilation of Records - Evidence of Racketeering // Extorsión por Bank of America: Los más populares en 2010 // 2010年最热门:敲诈勒索被美国银行



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]

Hallelujah: Jeremy Marks is Out of Jail!

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the case of Jeremy Marks.
Jeremy, a high school senior, was arrested and charged with “attempted lynching” for using his cell phone to capture an altercation between a police officer and one of his classmates. For over 8 months now, young Jeremy has been behind bars because his family could not afford to post his bail.
Thankfully, a good Samaritan posted Jeremy’s bail last week so that he could spend Christmas with his family.
A Google engineer from San Francisco heard about Marks’ plight, in an exclusive story by Katharine Russ for LA Weekly that created widespread outrage. Here’s why the Google engineer, Neil Fraser, posted $50,000 to get the 18-year-old out of the tough, adult, Pitchess Detention Center:
Neil Fraser is tentatively slated to appear Sunday, Dec. 26 on MSNBC to talk about why he helped a stranger — a boy with a troubled background whose parents transferred him to Verdugo Hills to help him get a fresh start. Fraser also put $1,500 toward Marks’ defense, which was matched by Google.
In Mr. Fraser’s own words:
Short version of the story:
1. Cop catches 15 year old kid smoking at a bus stop in LA.
2. Cop beats up kid, slams his head into the bus and uses pepper spray.
3. More cops arrive. Kid is released without charge.
4. During the incident, several bystanders start recording videos of what the cop is doing.
5. Cops pick Jeremy Marks, a 17 year old student, and arrest him at gunpoint (destroying the evidence on his phone in the process).
6. Since photographing police is still legal in California, they charge him instead with “attempted lynching of a police officer”.
7. The prosecutor makes an offer: plead guilty and he’ll only serve seven years. He declines.
8. Jeremy is thrown in jail, bail is set at an extortionate amount his family can’t afford.
9. He sits in jail for seven months awaiting trial.
10. I hear about the case on Reddit and provide the collateral to get Jeremy out of jail and back to his family for christmas.
First a word to Mr. Fraser… God Bless...
