11-06-20 Abuse of former US prosecutor, who protested corruption of the courts // El abuso de la ex fiscal de EE.UU., que protestó la corrupción de los tribunales // 美国前检察官滥用,谁抗议法院的腐败

Request for investigation/impeachment, in re: Conduct of Alleged Simulated Litigation in Richard I Fine v State Bar of California et al (2:10-cv-00048), in the US District Court, Central District of California

The case originated in Fine's individual case, alleging conspiracy by California judges and others, as part of intimidation, harassment, and retaliation. The case also reflects conduct of a racketeering enterprise, the LA-JR (alleged Los Angeles Judiciary Racket), its patronizing by certain US judges in the US District Court, Central District of California, and the large-scale fraud in the design and operation of the electronic record systems of the US courts, PACER and CM/ECF.


Former US prosecutor Richard Fine
Los Angeles, June 20 - Joseph Zernik, PhD, and Human Rights Alert (NGO) filed complaint with the US Congress and with the US Attorney Office, Los Angeles, against US Judge JOHN WALTER, US Magistrate CARLA WOEHRLE, Clerk of the Court TERRY NAFISI, and others in the US District Court, Central District of California, alleging public corruption through the conduct of simulated litigation [[i]] in Richard I Fine v State Bar of California et al (2:10-cv-00048). [[ii]] 


Dr Zernik has gained substantial experience in analyzing fraud in state and US court records in recent years. His opinions were repeatedly supported by highly reputed experts. [[iii]]

Richard I Fine v State Bar of California et al originated in Fine's complaint pursuant to Deprivation of Rights under the Color of Law (42 US §1983), alleging the circumstances, where California Judges illegally conspired against him at the behest of the State Bar officials, Los Angeles County government officials, and lawyers for the developers, who opposed him in the courtroom. [[iv]]

However, the affair as a whole should be deemed part of the intimidation, harassment, and retaliation against the former US prosecutor Richard Fine. Following his protest of the corruption of California judges, he was held in solitary confinement for 18 months, starting March 2009, with no warrant ever issued, and no judgment/conviction or sentencing ever entered in his case. Eventually, he was released with no valid court order, either. [[v]]

The complaint further alleged that the case reflects conduct of a racketeering enterprise, the LA-JR (alleged Los Angeles Judiciary Racket), which undermines the rights of all 10 millions, who reside in Los Angeles County, in particular, and residents of California, in general.  Conduct of the Los Angeles courts in both the civil and criminal divisions was the core evidence, submitted by Dr Zernik to the United Nations, which the 2010 Human Rights Council report, which noted, "corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California". [[vi],[vii]]

The complaint also provides further evidence of the large-scale fraud in the design and operation of the public access and case management systems of the US courts, PACER and CM/ECF, [[viii]] and patronizing of the LA-JR by certain US judges in the US District Court, Central District of California. [[ix],[x],[xi]]


A pattern of false and deliberately misleading court records is found in the case of Richard I Fine v State Bar of California et al (2:10-cv-00048):
  • Clerk of the Court TERRY NAFISI refuses to certify any of the PACER dockets of the court;
  • No valid summonses are found in the docket, in alleged violation of Duties of the Clerk pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;
  • No Civil Cover Sheet is found in the docket, which is required for the opening of a civil docket;
  • No valid Assignment Order for Judge JOHN WALTER is found in the docket;
  • No valid Referral Order for Magistrate CARLA WOEHRLE is found in the docket;
  • Numerous entries in the docket are by Ms DONNA THOMAS, who upon information and belief is not a Deputy Clerk, and Clerk of the Court TERRY NAFISI has denied numerous requests to confirm or deny DONNA THOMAS's authority as a Deputy Clerk;
  • The Clerk of the Court routinely denies access to the electronic authentication records (NEFs - Notices of Electronic Filing), and in similar cases, where the same persons were accused, all NEFs were eventually discovered to be invalid;
  • Attorney KEVIN MCCORMICK, who appears in this case on behalf of the Defendants, falsely appeared on behalf of related defendants in a related case, with no authority at all, and
  • No declaration or any other record signed by any of the Defendants is found in the pleading filed on their behalf, consistent with conduct of simulated litigation, and appearance by an unauthorized attorney.
The case should be deemed of the highest public policy significance, since it holds at bay the prospect of any honest court services in Los Angeles County, in particular, and in California, in general.  Of note, the 2010 official Staff Report of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations referred to "corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California".

The case also reflects the fraud inherent in the design and operation of PACER and CM/ECF, the public access and case management systems of the US courts.


The complaint was copied to the US Congress Judiciary Committees and the Human Rights Council of the United Nations.

RealtyTrac is out with the total foreclosure numbers for 2010. On the whole things are getting worse.
72 percent of major metro areas saw an increase in foreclosure volume. Although some of the worst hit areas in Nevada, California and Florida improved from 2009, the foreclosure rate in these areas remains shockingly high. If not for foreclosure suspensions due to the robosigning scandal, these numbers would have been higher.
For a frightening way to visualize the foreclosure crisis, we're borrowing a Google maps technique described by Barry Ritholtz.

11-06-14 US Housing Crisis - Worse than Great Depression! // Peor que la Gran Depresión // 更糟糕的是比大萧条

Comment:

Corruption of the US courts has reached levels not seen for a century and is one of the fundamental causes of the current financial crisis. Unless reform of the US courts is initiated, civil society and socio-economic conditions in the US are unlikely to be restored, leaving other nations as unwitting collateral.

US Housing Crisis Is Now Worse Than Great Depression

Foreclosure Sign
Published: Tuesday, 14 Jun 2011 | 12:04 PM ET

By: Jeff Cox
CNBC.com Staff Writer


It's official: The housing crisis that began in 2006 and has recently entered a double dip is now worse than the Great Depression.
Prices have fallen some 33 percent since the market began its collapse, greater than the 31 percent fall that began in the late 1920s and culminated in the early 1930s, according to Case-Shiller data.
The news comes as the Federal Reserve considers whether the economy has regained enough strength to stand on its own and as unemployment remains at a still-elevated 9.1 percent, throwing into question whether the recovery is real.

Friendship of Justice and Magnate Puts Focus on Ethics

Kamenko Pajic/Associated Press
Justice Clarence Thomas was given a $15,000 bust of Lincoln in 2001 by a group for which a friend is a trustee.
The code says judges “should not personally participate” in raising money for charitable endeavors, out of concern that donors might feel pressured to give or entitled to favorable treatment from the judge. In addition, judges are not even supposed to know who donates to projects honoring them.

Call off the global drug war

  • Article by: JIMMY CARTER , New York Times 
  • Updated: June 17, 2011 - 6:22 AM


In an extraordinary new initiative announced earlier this month, the Global Commission on Drug Policy has made some courageous and profoundly important recommendations in a report on how to bring more effective control over the illicit drug trade.
The commission includes the former presidents or prime ministers of five countries, a former secretary general of the United Nations, human rights leaders, and business and government leaders, including Richard Branson, George P. Shultz and Paul A. Volcker.
The report describes the total failure of the present global antidrug effort, and in particular America's "war on drugs," which was declared 40 years ago today. It notes that the global consumption of opiates has increased 34.5 percent, cocaine 27 percent and cannabis 8.5 percent from 1998 to 2008.

Bahrain�s Dictatorship and the Pentagon

By Jacob G. Hornberger

June 17, 2011 "fff" -- -Sometimes
it�s good to look at foreign dictatorships to see what the president and the U.S. military have done to our country. Consider, for example, the trial of 20 doctors that is currently taking place in Bahrain.

As most everyone knows, Bahrain is ruled by a brutal dictatorship, just as many other countries in the Middle East are. Bahrain is also besieged by anti-government demonstrations, just as other countries in the Middle East are. Like other dictatorships in the Middle East, Bahrain�s dictatorial regime is using brute force to suppress the protests.

What distinguishes the Bahrain dictatorship from, say, the Libyan or Syrian dictatorships, is that the U.S. government supports the dictatorship in Bahrain while opposing the Libyan and Syrian dictatorships. Thus, not only does U.S. foreign aid flow into the Bahrain dictatorship, the U.S. military also has a major base there.

The Bahrain dictatorship is accusing those 20 doctors of participating in anti-government protests in Bahrain. Guess what type of court the doctors are being tried in. You got it: a military tribunal, just like those employed by the Pentagon at Guantanamo Bay.

It probably won�t surprise you to know that the doctors are accusing Bahrain�s military of torturing them while in custody and forcing confessions out of them � and that the military is denying it.

The tribunal is actually a special national-security court that was established last March as part of the emergency rule that the dictatorship imposed on the country to deal with the anti-government protests. Emergency rule essentially means martial law, with the military wielding the power to protect �national security� by establishing �order and stability� within the country.

Not surprisingly, in previous prosecutions in Bahrain�s national-security court, defendants have been charged with �terrorism.� Moreover, since the trials pertain to �national security,� some of the proceedings have been held in secret.

Sound familiar?
