12-07-01 First ever - Corpus Separatum Jerusalem passport stamped

Corpus separatum is a Latin term referring to a city or region which is given a special legal and political status different from its environment, but which falls short of being sovereign, or an independent city state. The term may refer to:

• Corpus separatum (Jerusalem), the 1947 UN proposal for Jerusalem
• Corpus separatum (Fiume), the historical status of Fiume between 1776 and 1918
• Pordenone, a corpus separatum between 1378 and 1514
• Novi Pazar, a corpus separatum between 1878 and 1912

[edit]Compare

• Enclave and exclave

For interested parties, passports can be stamped "Corpus Separatum Jerusalem" in Zion Square for a donation...

12-07-01 Protest Renewed - Thousands protested in Tel Aviv

The protest in Jerusalem is smaller scale, but daily now.  The protest in Jerusalem hinges on freedom of assembly in public space.  Zion Square has been for decades the main public space and protest location in Israel.  This year, permits to protest in Zion Square were denied.  The reason - without any public notice or debate, the municipality of Jerusalem decided to "privatize" the space, and it was sold to the light train company.  The protests in Jerusalem this year often started in a nearby space, then proceeded to Zion Square, and ended in blocking the trains.  Police were violent in Tel Aviv, but in Jerusalem they were very careful not to get into any confrontation.

Separately, a government committee on "Capital-Government Connections" published today its report and recommendation.  One of the recommendations - public officials should not be permitted to meet certain business people in private...

Separately, Judgment (conviction/acquittal) of former Prime Minister Olmert is expected this week in three separate cases of public corruption and bribes.

In the meanwhile, former President Katzav is serving his seven year sentence on rape in office.

July 1, 2012- More than 400,000 took to the streets in Hong Kong Today! Solidarity with our brothers and sisters!

More than (400,000) Hong Kong citizens later hit the streets in an annual mass July 1 protest, sending a defiant message to China's leader that the city cherishes its freedoms in the face of perceived Beijing meddling in its domestic affairs, and calling for unfettered democracy in 2017. "Hong Kong's human rights record has backtracked," said one of the demonstrators, Theresa Cheng, a 20 year-old university student. "Freedom of speech is shrinking and reporters are facing more obstacles."

12-07-01 Imprisoned Court Watcher David Schied - The Judicial House of Cards and How it is Falling Down at the Expense of the People

David Schied protested judicial corruption.  David Schied was booked and is held under false records. The habeas corpus petitions are going up and down, repeatedly denied by the courts.  The case increasingly resembles that of the 70-year old, former US Prosecutor Richard Fine, who was held on false records in solitary confinement for 18 months, while his habeas corpus petitions, up to the Supreme Court, were routinely subjected to simulated review and fraud on the courts. The court system is corrupt beyond repair.
 
Anonymous recommends flying the flag upside down, a traditional signal of distress...
Los Angeles, July 1 - "How many cases like David Schied in Michigan, [1] Jeffery Baron in Texas, [2] Richard Fine in California, [3] and many others from coast to coast, of obvious ridicule of the rule of law by judges, do we need to realize that the system is broken beyond repair?," questions Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO).

David Schied, who has been protesting judicial corruption, was held and confined, and silently watching open court proceedings.  David Schied was booked and is now held under false records, stating that he was imprisoned by the authority of Clinton Court, where he had never sat foot.  The writs of habeas are going up and down, repeatedly denied. 

The case increasingly resembles that of the 70-year old, former US Prosecutor Richard Fine.  Richard Fine showed that all judges in Los Angeles County, California, have been taking "not permitted payments" (called by media "bribes") for over a decade.  His protest eventually required the signing of "retroactive immunities" (called by media "unlawful pardons") for all such judges. Soon after the "immunities" were signed, Richard Fine arrested and imprisoned in solitary confinement for 18 months. 

The Sheriff of Los Angeles County insisted on producing booking records that stated that Richard Fine was arrested and booked on locations and by authority of the San Pedro Municipal Court, which did not exist. Richard Fine's habeas corpus petitions, up to the Supreme Court, were routinely subjected to simulated review and fraud on the courts.

The court system is corrupt beyond repair.

Cases like this do NOT happen in civil societies.  Surely they do not pass unchallenged and patronized by the higher courts, as is the standard in the United States today.

Many things have transpired since the last I've talked to you all. The
corruption within  the Wayne County Clerks office working in collusion
with the courts are apprehensible! Wow details to follow.

The only good news is that David is going to be released at 5am in
Midland on Monday the 2nd. However they will not disclose if they have
added any time to his sentence after throwing him in the hole after he
submitted a hand written Writ of Habeas to a sheriff which was
returned to him. (illegal)

me to reference at todays public forum.

A GRAVE miscarriage of justice has happened the test case for NDAA has

Court Observer Jailed
30 days for alleged contempt of court

Wayne and Midland Counties Michigan ­ June 27, 2012 -   After four
petitions (Writs of Habeas Corpus) to gain his release, David Schied
remains locked up in the Midland County jail.  On June 8th the Novi
Michigan man was committed by Judge Karen Khalil of the Redford
Township 17th District Court to spend up to 30 days in jail on a
charge of  “contempt of court” for sitting quietly observing a court
proceeding of which he was not a party.  There have been 4 separate
requests for the “Record of Action”, a transcript and an audio/video
record of the hearing at which David was abducted. All requests have
been denied.

Question:  Can someone be legally convicted of “contempt of court” and
sentenced to 30 days in jail without a hearing or case number, without
a transcript, without due process, without an audio/video, or any
proof whatsoever of having committed “any act which is calculated to
embarrass, hinder or obstruct court in administration of justice or is
calculated to lessen its authority or its dignity”?   Is an observer
of a proceeding, a party to the proceeding and would such an observer
be considered as “under the court’s authority”?

On June 16, David handed a guard (sheriff deputy) an “Inmate Request
Form” in which he crossed out “Inmate” and wrote “Captive” and asked 5
questions to which the answers were totally inane:
Why am I being held in jail?  Ans: You are sentenced to 30 days No Bond

What is the criminal charge?  Ans: Contempt of Court

What act did I allegedly commit?  Ans: Contempt ­ Write the prosecutor
for report & details

Who is the harmed party?  Ans: Clinton County court

Who is my accuser?  Ans: Clinton County court

What makes these answers so despicable is that besides there being no
evidence of “Contempt” as defined by the law dictionaries or
otherwise, David has never set foot in Clinton County court.

With access to only paper and pencil, David was able to draft his own
Writ of Habeas Corpus and submit it to a guard, who is supposed to see
that it gets to the proper authorities.  The guard later returned it
to David and told him that it was refused with no explanation,
whereupon David filed a formal complaint against the prison
administration, which was answered with more time in isolation (the
hole) and a threat of extended jail time.

David has several law suits filed against various administrative and
judicial actors who have committed various crimes against litigants
and the courts, several of which name the judge who ordered his
apparent kidnapping.  He had two deadlines to file court papers and an
appearance hearing scheduled for the time period of his incarceration.
 An attorney who has been helping David with his legal endeavors filed
a request for an extension of the deadline for his appearance hearing
and it was denied.

A fifth petition for a Writ was filed yesterday with the Federal
District Court, Eastern Division of Michigan and a hearing is
scheduled for tomorrow, June 28th.  In none of the previous hearings
was David brought to the court to make his case of unlawful detention
as is required by law.  Will tomorrow’s court hearing obey the law?

Those working to free David believe that due to David’s history as a
crime victims’ rights advocate, exposing judicial corruption and
naming Judge Khalil and Redford Township officials as defendants in
several law suits, as well filing with the Judicial Tenure Commission,
that the evidence is overwhelming that this judge is using her
judicial powers to retaliate against him.

Mr. Schied has earned a high degree of respect and achieved many
praiseworthy accomplishments as an educator, advocate and entering his
doctoral program in the fall.

Cooling of the spent fuel-storage pool was switched March 27 to seawater injection from water spraying by trucks, and the cooling system still wasn't functional. On April 12, a small fire was extinguished at a battery unit outside the reactor. The basement of the reactor building was found flooded with five meters of water April 18. The water is likely radioactive but the degree isn't clear.

_______________________________________________________________________________Natural News Reactor 4 Status UpdatesFukushima reactor 4 requires urgent intervention; coalition calls for emergency UN action to halt catastrophic release of radiation
Sunday, May 06, 2012
by Mike Adams

Kyoto, Japan -- On 30 April, seventy-two Japanese NGO organizations lead by Shut Tomari and Green Action send an urgent request to the UN and Japanese government urging immediate action to stabilize the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Unit 4 spent nuclear fuel. The letter was endorsed by experts from Japan and abroad.

The letter warned that the seriously damaged Unit 4 spent nuclear fuel pool contains Cesium-137 (Cs-137) that is equivalent to 10 times the amount released at the time of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. If an earthquake or other event were to cause this pool to drain, this could result in a catastrophic radiological fire.

The letter urged the United Nations to organize a Nuclear Safety Summit to take up the crucial problem of the Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4 spent nuclear fuel pool. The letter stated that the United Nations should establish an independent assessment team on Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4 and coordinate international assistance in order to stabilize the unit's spent nuclear fuel and prevent radiological consequences with potentially catastrophic consequences.

Letters were sent to both UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, the latter asking that Japan ask immediately for the UN's help.

Fukushima reactor No. 4 vulnerable to catastrophic collapse; could unleash 85 times Cesium-137 radiation of Chernobyl; human civilization on the brink

Sunday, May 06, 2012
by Mike Adams

The news you are about to read puts everything else in the category of "insignificant" by comparison. Concerned about the 2012 U.S. presidential election? Worried about GMOs? Fluoride? Vaccines? Secret prisons? None of that even matters if we don't solve the problem of Fukushima reactor No. 4, which is on the verge of a catastrophic failure that could unleash enough radiation to end human civilization on our planet.

Fukushima Reactor 4 Release Would Doom Western USA

Author: Stephen Alexander
Published: May 07, 2012 at 8:58 am


If Reactor 4 at Fukushima becomes unstable and releases 10 times the amount of Cesium-137 (CS-137) released at the time of the Chernobyl nuclear accident, then the prevailing winds could carry it all the way to the Western USA – that means California.

On April 30, 2012, 72 NGO organizations sent a request to the United Nations and the Japanese government urging fast-action to stabilize the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant Unit 4 spent nuclear fuel. Experts in the nuclear field from both Japan and the world endorsed the letter.

The letter contained warnings that the damaged Unit 4 spent nuclear fuel pool contains Cesium-137. If that pool were exposed to an earthquake or other event that drained that pool, then the result could be a catastrophic radiological fire. The letter urged the United Nations to create a Nuclear Safety Summit to find a solution to the problem of the Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4 spent nuclear fuel pool. The proposal stated that the United Nations should create an independent assessment team on Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4 and organize international assistance to stabilize the unit's spent nuclear fuel and prevent the impending catastrophe. The letters were delivered to both the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda. The second letter asked that Japan officially ask for the United Nations' help.

Numbering in excess of 10,000, the spent fuel assemblies at the Fukushima Daiichi plant lie in pools vulnerable to future earthquakes. The radioactivity is around 85-times more long-lived than the radioactivity released at Chernobyl.

12-06-30 Big Banks Have Become Mafia-Style Criminal Enterprises, and Regulators Have Become “Cops On the Take”

Posted on June 29, 2012 by WashingtonsBlog

   

Banks Conspire to Fleece the Public

Two stories this week prove once again that the big banks are literally criminal enterprises.

Initially, all of the big banks have engaged in Mafia-style “bid-rigging” of municipal bonds, to bilk money from every city in the nation … to the collective tune of tens billions of dollars.

And Barclays and other large banks – including Citigroup, HSBC, J.P. Morgan Chase, Lloyds, Bank of America, UBS, Royal Bank of Scotland – manipulated the world’s primary interest rate (Libor) which virtually every adjustable-rate investment globally is pegged to.

And see this. That means they manipulated a good chunk of the world economy.

Other recent stories also show criminal fraud as well. For example, the big banks have been cheating homeowners … especially veterans.

And as Max Keiser explains, banking giants Mellon and State Street shaved money off of virtually every pension transaction they handled over the course of decades, stealing collectively billions of dollars from pensions worldwide:

(Details here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here.)

Indeed, the entire business model of the big banks is fraud. See this, this, this, this, this and this.

Fraud caused the 1930s Depression and the current financial crisis.

Regulators Have Become “Cops On the Take”

There’s no recovery because the government made it official policy not to prosecute fraud (and see this,this, this, and this).

Unfortunately, the cop is on the take … and the government’s only actions are to cover up the fraud and to leave the people holding the bag.
