San Diego Superior Court Seeks New Grand Jury For 2011 / 2012

December 14th, 20105 comments

Each year a new set of 19 San Diego citizens is seated as the San Diego Grand Jury. Applications for the 2011 / 2012 Grand Jury are now being accepted through January 14, 2011. The Grand Jury could be hugely helpful to cleaning up the mess in San Diego’s courts, but despite the evidence of widespread misconduct particularly in the family law courts, the current and past Grand Juries have been stymied from going after judicial criminals. In this article I aim to point out how this could change if the right people get into the next Grand Jury and are willing to take some personal risks to protect the public from the out-of-control abusive judicial system in the county. If you and your family have been harmed by the government and courts of San Diego, I strongly suggest that you consider taking a year out of your life to get a seat on the Grand Jury and use it to pursue the government criminals who are harming and destroying so many families in the county.

Grand Juries Stymied from Investigating Courts

California’s county Grand Juries are tasked with investigating and reporting on problems in county and local governments. However, the San Diego County Grand Jury has been effectively prohibited from investigating the San Diego Superior Court itself for a variety of reasons. Aside from whatever legal technicalities there may be for this, it is clear there is a strong motivation for the government officials who control the county to prevent investigation of the court system itself. The government wants naive citizens to believe that the courts in the county are fair and obey the law when neither is true.

The San Diego Superior Court is filled with abuse, corruption, illegal conduct, and disreputable judges such as drunk driver Lisa Schall, cover-up scam artist Lorna Alksne, abusive Christine Goldsmith with her nepotistic control over the San Diego City Attorney, and TV-star-wannabe DeAnn Salcido (who recently resigned over her misconduct) that the Grand Jury would literally have to investigate most judges for misconduct and eventually verbally eviscerate the judiciary and file criminal indictments against many of them to even get a start on cleaning up the corrupt mess that these judges wish to remain hidden.

Many of these judges and court officials have ties to other “civil servants” such as San Diego City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, Sheriff William Gore, and others who use the courts and government offices as their personal playthings to harm their opponents and critics alike. Consequently, there is every intent by the government to hide the widespread judicial corruption and lawlessness. Aside from keeping secret their illicit plans and connections, they also endeavor to maintain their tyrannical grip on power by attacking and marginalizing their victims. They do this because if the public were to understand how many people have been badly harmed by the lawless tyrants seated in government positions throughout San Diego, there might be a public uprising against them.

Mass. court ruling has potential to void thousands of foreclosures 

By Ariana Eunjung Cha

The Massachusetts Supreme Court on Friday upheld a lower court ruling voiding two foreclosures because the banks failed to show the proper paperwork to prove they owned the loans-a decision that challenges the way mortgages were bundled and sold around the world.

Shares of Wells Fargo and U.S. Bancorp--the banks involved in the case--as well as those of other banks fell following the announcement of the decision. Wells Fargo was down 3.4 percent and US Bancorp 1.1 percent at midday.

Congress quietly prepares to renew Patriot Act

By David Edwards and Stephen Webster

December 14, 2011 "Raw Story" -- Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) has introduced a little-noticed bill that intends to once again renew controversial provisions of the Bush administration's USA Patriot Act that are due to expire this year.

When the act was first signed into law, Congress put in some "sunset" provisions to quiet the concerns of civil libertarians, but they were ignored by successive extensions. Unfortunately, those concerns proved to be well founded, and a 2008 Justice Department report confirmed that the FBI regularly abused their ability to obtain personal records of Americans without a warrant.

The only real sign of strong opposition to the act was in 2005, when a Democratic threat to filibuster its first renewal was overcome by Senate Republicans.

Since the bill introduced by Rogers on Jan. 5 was virtually identical to the extension passed last year, its passage was seen as likely.

"Given the very limited number of days Congress has in session before the current deadline, and the fact that the bill’s Republican sponsor is only seeking another year, I think it’s safe to read this as signaling an agreement across the aisle to put the issue off yet again," the libertarian Cato Institute's Julian Sanchez wrote.

"In the absence of a major scandal, though, it’s hard to see why we should expect the incentives facing legislators to be vastly different a year from now," he added. "I’d love to be proven wrong, but I suspect this is how reining in the growth of the surveillance state becomes an item perpetually on next year’s agenda."

As senator, Obama promised to support reforming the Patriot Act, but voted in favor of extending it in 2005 and 2008. Similarly, he signed last year's extension into law with little fanfare. FBI and Department of Justice officials had consistently argued that restricting their blanket authority to conduct warrantless searches would harm national security.

Candidate Obama said in 2007 that if he were elected president there would be "no more National Security Letters [NSL's] to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime" because "that is not who we are, and it is not what is necessary to defeat the terrorists."

Much like Obama's vow to close the Guantanamo Bay military prison, the use of NSL's has also continued. Most recently, Obama's Department of Justice sent an NSL to micro-blogging site Twitter, seeking information on all 635,561 users who followed secrets outlet WikiLeaks -- a list that included Raw Story.

Obama's campaign website insisted that he has consistently said he would support a Patriot Act extension that strengthens civil liberties.

Action on his campaign pledge had yet to emerge by the start of 2011, and no significant reforms were reflected in Rep. Rogers' proposed extension.

Former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI), perhaps the Senate's strongest opponent of the Patriot Act, was defeated by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) in the 2010 mid-term elections.

A prior version of this article identified the Cato Institute as "conservative-leaning." In an email to Raw Story, they asked to instead be described instead as "libertarian.

Foreclosure Filings in U.S. May Jump 20% From Record 2010 as Crisis Peaks:

The number of U.S. homes receiving a foreclosure filing will climb about 20 percent in 2011, reaching a peak for the housing crisis, as unemployment remains high and banks resume seizures after a slowdown, RealtyTrac Inc. said.

Why does health care in Cuba cost 96% less than in the US?:

Life expectancy of about 78 years of age in Cuba is equivalent to the US. Yet, in 2005, Cuba was spending US$193 per person on health care, only 4% of the $4540 being spent in the US. Where could the other 96% of US health care dollars be going?

11-01-14 Burlesque in the US Courts - Hijacking of the US Government //Burlesque en los EE.UU. Tribunales - Secuestro de Gobierno de los EE.UU. // 滑稽戏在美国法院-劫持美国政府

 

  More on Commonwealth of Virginia v Sebelius, Log Cabin Republicans  USA, SEC v BAC - collapse of the frameworks of democratic government

Careful review of the litigation records in the three cases would lead one to conclude that senior US officers are actively undermining the stated goals of the US government.
______
The press release [linked below] focuses on three specific, high-visibility cases in the US courts:

• Commonwealth of Virginia v Sebelius,
• Log Cabin Republicans  USA,
• SEC v BAC

The press release describes the "burlesque" in the US courts.  However, if one reviews the records carefully, one must conclude that senior US officers are ready, willing, able participants in the "burlesque" in each of the cases.  In two of the cases, US agencies were the Defendants, and in the third a US agency was the Plaintiff.

The three cases pertain to President Obama's central stated policies:

• Prevail in wars that the Armed Services are engaged in,
• Restore honest and effective banking regulation, and
• Implement health-care reform,

Therefore, one must conclude that senior US officers are actively undermining his presidency...

Not that one could conclude that similar officers were loyal to the Bush Presidency; this is not partisan, it is collapse of the frameworks of democratic government.

In that respect, one should recall that Senator Leahy, Chair of the US Senate Judiciary Committee, called already two years ago for a "Truth and Reconciliation Commission". 

However, Truth and Reconciliation Commissions are instituted after tyrannies of various kinds are deposed.  Here, Leahy called for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, while such forces are still in power...  In fact, if one agrees that Senator Leahy is no dummy, one must conclude that Senator Leahy declared that the US government was hijacked...

Tribunal de Justicia en litigios de Obama plan de salud // 据称在美国的欺诈诉讼法院在奥巴马医疗计划

The docket of the case reveals records that are inconsistent with litigation conducted in compliance with the US law.  The clerk of the court and US Department of Justice Freedom of Information Office were requested to provide copies of the electronic certificates of authentication/attestation by the clerk of the records in the case.

US Judge Henry Hudson

Los Angeles, January 13 � Human Rights Alert (NGO) and Joseph Zernik, PhD, have filed requests for records in the litigation of Commonwealth of Virginia v Sebelius (3:10-cv-00188) in the US District Court, Eastern District of Virginia under � the constitutional challenge to the Obama Health Care Law.

Requests were filed with:
�        The Clerk of the US District Court, Fernando Galino, [[i]] and
�        The US Department of Justice Freedom of Information Office.[[ii]]

The requests have been filed, since the litigation records [[iii]] revealed serious defects, which raised serious concerns that the case was conducted as deliberately invalid litigation: [[iv]]
�        No valid summons was found in the case docket, only summons, which was missing the seal of the court. The US law requires that the summons be issued with a signature of the clerk of the court and under the seal of the court. Absent valid summons, the litigation is invalid from its start.=
�        No valid record of execution or waiver of execution of the service of summons was found in the docket.  Absent valid execution within the time prescribed by law, the case should have been dismissed by the court.
�        US Judge Henry Hudson was listed as Presiding Judge in the case.  However, no valid Assignment Order for Judge Henry Hudson was found in the case docket.  Without a valid Assignment Order, a judge has no authority to preside in a specific case.
�        The Minutes, which were found in the case docket, listed no name of a Deputy Clerk, and should therefore be deemed invalid.
�        The case was reported as terminated, and was listed as terminated in the case docket, but no valid Judgment was found in the docket, and no Judgment was listed in the Judgment Index of the Court.

In addition, request was filed with Clerk of the US Court Fernando Galino to certify the docket of the case. [[v]]

The litigation docket, as it appears in the online public access system of the court (PACER) makes it impossible for the public to distinguish between court records and litigation that are valid and effectual and ones that are null and void.  The reason for the ambiguity is that all electronic certificates of authentication/ attestation by the clerks are excluded from the system. Therefore, the requests, which were filed with the Clerk and the US Department of Justice Freedom of Information Office, are primarily for the electronic certificates (NEFs � Notices of Electronic Filing) in the case.

Human Rights Alert (NGO) has recently provided evidence of conduct of invalid litigation in two other high visibility cases:
�        Log Cabin Republicans v USA � pertaining to the �Don�t Ask, Don�t Tell� Policy.  The case is now pending before the US Court of Appeals, 9^th Circuit.  The Clerk of the US District Court, Central District of California, refused to certify the PACER docket in the case, and also refused to provide copies of the certificates of authentication/attestation of the purported judgment in the case.
Human Rights Alert filed a Motion to Intervene in the appeals, claiming that the appeal should be dismissed. [[vi]]
�        SEC v Bank of America Corporation  - pertaining to the taking by bank executives of ~$5 billions in bonuses as part of the Merrill Lynch- Bank of America merger, while providing stockholders false reports in the matter.  Human Rights Alert claimed that the invalid litigation in the case was conducted in the case to cover-up alleged criminality by senior Bank of America and US officers, including BofA President Brian Moynihan and Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke.
Human Rights Alert filed a request for impeachment of Judge Jed Rakoff, who appeared as presiding judge in the case.  [[vii]]

In both Log Cabin Republicans v USA and SEC v Bank of America Corporation the PACER dockets were inexplicable as dockets of litigation conducted in compliance with the law of the United States.

Human Rights Alert has also proposed a three-fold approach for correcting the conditions that are today found in the US courts:
�        Restoring key provisions of the Salary Act of 1919, which placed the clerks of the US courts under the authority of the US Attorney General.
At the time, conditions in the US courts were described in the US Congress as "a burlesque", and the Salary Act was later credited as a key measure in restoring the integrity of the US Courts.  It restored the role of the clerks as checks and balances vis a vis judicial corruption, which was the reason for existence of the clerks since the late middle ages.  However, by the mid 20th century the clerks were again placed under the authority of the judiciary.
�        Enactment of federal rules for electronic court records.
The evidence shows that the clerks of the courts today do not deem themselves accountable for the integrity of electronic court records.  The online public access and case management systems of the courts (PACER and CM/ECF) were implemented over the past couple of decades in both state and federal courts. In the process, a sea change was introduced in court procedures, which had been established for centuries, and were the core of Due Process. However, all courts that were examined, without exception, failed to publish Rules of Courts pertaining to the new procedures, in alleged violation of Due Process rights.  Moreover, all courts that were examined deny public access to various records in the electronic case management systems in alleged violation of First Amendment rights. Therefore, the US Congress should perform its duties and establish the systems by law.  Implicit in such laws should be the requirement for publicly and legally accountable validation (certified, functional logic verification) of such systems prior to their implementation.
�        Keeping a �watchful eye� on the US court.
The public at large and computing professionals, in particular, must assume their civic duties in ongoing monitoring the integrity of electronic court records. The common law right to inspect and to copy judicial records was reaffirmed by the US Supreme Court in Nixon v Warner Communications, Inc (1978) as inherent to the First Amendment.  In doing so, the US Supreme Court said that the right was necessary for the public "to keep a watchful eye on government".  Today, the public must keep a watchful eye particularly on electronic court records.  No other measures could substitute for public scrutiny of court records in safeguarding the integrity of the courts and Human Rights in the Digital Era.

Notice was also provided to the US Senate Committee on the Judiciary.

What U.S. "Justice" Signifies Around The World

We have the spectacle of Julian Assange's lawyers citing the Obama administration's policies of rendition and indefinite detention at Guantanamo as a reason why human rights treaties bar his extradition to any country (such as Sweden) which might transfer him to American custody.

WikiLeaks Founder Said to Fear 'Illegal Rendition' to U.S.:

 

Lawyers acting for Julian Assange, the founder of the WikiLeaks antisecrecy group, said on Tuesday they would argue against a demand for his extradition to Sweden on the grounds that he might subsequently face "illegal rendition" to the United States, risking imprisonment at Guantánamo Bay, or even the death penalty.

Rabbi Susan Leider of Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, Endorsed the Petition: Stay the Execution of Kevin Cooper, Impose a Moratorium on the Death Penalty in California

Los Angeles, January 10 - Rabbi Susan Leider of Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, endorsed  the call upon California Governor Jerry Brown to:

• Stay the execution of Kevin Cooper
• Impose a moratorium on the death penalty in California.

The petition was also endorsed by:

• Rabbi Sharon Brous, Ikar Synagogue, Los Angeles;
• Dr William Epps, Pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Los Angeles;
• Rabbi Michael Lerner, of Beyt Tikkun, Berkeley;
• Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller, UCLA Hillel; 
• Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz, Uri L'Tzedek (Orthodox Social Justice Movement), and Rabbi Sharon Brous, Ikar Synagogue, Los Angeles .

As noted in the petition itself, reasonable doubts remained regarding the guilt of Kevin Cooper, which led five federal judges to take issue with their colleagues' decision to put a stop to Cooper's appeals.

Corruption of the justice system in California has been repeatedly documented for over a decade in official, scholarly, and media reports:

• Thousand of Rampart-FIPs (Falsely Imprisoned Persons) - mostly black and Latinos - victims of court corruption in Los Angeles County, which was uncovered in the Rampart scandal investigation (1998-2000), remain imprisoned to this date.
• The official Blue Ribbon Report (2006) recorded the Judges of the Los Angeles Court objecting to their release, since it would lead to "collapse of the justice system". 
• The official Blue Ribbon Report (2006) concluded that the Los Angeles Superior Court "must be investigated". 
• Widespread corruption of government in general, and the courts in particular, in San Bernardino County was repeatedly reported by media.
• The United Nations Human Rights Council report (2010) referred to "corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California".
• The United Nations Human Rights Council report (2010) also called upon the US to abolish the death penalty.

During his tenure as California Attorney General, prior to his election as Governor, Jerry Brown refused to take action regarding corruption of the California courts. 

One of his first decisions (December 2010) as Governor Elect was to eliminate the state's Office of Inspector General.

The petition calls upon California Governor Jerry Brown to stay the execution of Kevin Cooper and to impose a moratorium on the death penalty in California.

Given the widespread corruption of the California government, religious leaders have been asked to spearhead the call for corrective actions.

Target: California Governor Jerry Brown:
We, the undersigned call upon Governor Schwarzenegger to stop the execution of Kevin Cooper and impose a moratorium on the death penalty in California:

1. Reasonable doubts remain regarding the guilt of Kevin Cooper
The legal effort to prevent the execution of Kevin Cooper has run its course. Unless the governor of California intervenes, Cooper is likely to be put to death next year for the brutal 1983 murders of a Chino Hills couple, their 10-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old houseguest.
Just one eyewitness survived the horrific scene, a 9-year-old boy whose throat had been sliced. His initial account of the attack is one of many disturbing contradictions that led five federal judges to take issue with their colleagues' decision to put a stop to Cooper's appeals.

2. Corruption of the justice system in California was well-documented for over a decade.
Official, scholarly, and media reports have documented the corruption of the justice system in California for over a decade.
Reports of the Rampart corruption scandal (1998-2000) established that thousands of innocent persons were falsely imprisonment for long terms through framing of evidence, extraction of confessions under torture, and perjury of police.  The victims - the Rampart-FIPs (Falsely Imprisoned Persons) - mostly blacks and Latinos, were estimated by various groups at 10,000-30,000.  Regardless, judges of the Los Angeles Court have refuses to free the Rampart-FIPs, and the US Department of Justice refuses to take action either.

3. "Corruption of the courts and the legal profession" in California was noted in a recent report of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which called upon the US to abolish the death penalty.As part of the first ever Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Human Rights in the United States by the Human Rights Council of the United Nations, official report noted %u201Ccorruption of the courts and the legal profession%u201D in California.
The United Nations Human Rights Council also called upon the United States to abolish the death penalty.

4.  Therefore, the Governor of California should stop the execution of Kevin Cooper and impose a moratorium on the death penalty in California.Under conditions that today prevail in the justice system in Los Angeles County and California, it is inconceivable to continue with executions.  California Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger should stop the execution of Kevin Cooper and impose a moratorium on the death penalty in California.
