EDITORIAL

Another black eye for Sheriff Baca

The Justice Department says that deputies assigned to the Antelope Valley Sheriff's Station repeatedly violated the civil rights of African Americans and Latinos.

By The Times editorial board
5:00 AM PDT, July 3, 2013

The latest insight into the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is as dispiriting as it is familiar. For years — decades, even, for those who remember the Kolts Commission in the early 1990s — one outside group after another has concluded that lax discipline, poor supervision and inattentive management have allowed problems within the department to fester, sometimes erupting in violations of civil rights. And here we are again.
After a two-year investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice has concluded that deputies assigned to the Antelope Valley Sheriff's Station repeatedly violated the civil rights of African Americans and Latinos, especially those in federally subsidized housing. The report describes how deputies subjected residents to unconstitutional stops and seizures, relied on racial profiling and resorted to excessive force. In one instance cited, a deputy "punched another handcuffed woman in the jaw while three other deputies held her down."
Sheriff Lee Baca's responses to this and previous critiques have been revealing and disturbing. In 2011, he criticized the FBI for failing to notify his office about a cellphone "sting" in the Men's Central Jail, and instead of helping federal agents investigate wrongdoing, he suggested that they had committed a crime. Later that year, when confronted with reports of violence in the jails, gang-like deputy cliques and inmate abuse, he blamed his underlings for failing to inform him of the problems. Now, as he insists that his deputies do not discriminate or engage in excessive force in the Antelope Valley, it's hard to believe him.
Baca knows better than to resist calls for change. In the jails, for instance, he has implemented three dozen of the 60 recommendations made last year by the Citizens' Commission on Jail Violence, including hiring an expert to run those perennially troubled facilities. And he has agreed to reorganize the department, created a separate custody career track for deputies who want to work in the jails, and installed cameras as a way to track and deter excessive use of force by deputies. What remains troubling, however, is his ongoing failure to address serious problems before they are publicly pointed out to him. The department was repeatedly warned by Special Counsel Merrick Bobb that something was very wrong in Antelope Valley, yet Baca did nothing.
The problems identified by the Justice Department, like those in the jails, are fixable. They require better supervision, as well as a willingness to discipline, fire and prosecute deputies who violate rules and laws. And they demand a response from Baca.

13-07-04 More on criminality in the Los Angeles Superior Court and Sustain - its fraudulent case management system


From a discussion board

3)  me (Joseph Zernik, Human Rights Alert (NGO)

Examples of fraudulent features in Sustain - the CMS, developed by the Los Angeles Superior Court
1) From a Register of Actions (California civil docket) in a case of simulated litigation from start to finish, the disposal (purported entry of judgment in this case) is listed as 00/00/00.
 
2) From the Register of Actions (California civil docket) In litigation in the LA Superior Court, Countrywide appeared with no party designation at all. Countrywide's first appearance was fraudulently listed prior to the date of filing of the complaint in this case [see filing date in 1), above], under a fraudulent party designation.
3)  Numerous examples were found of simulated minutes in Sustain, with fraudulent, invalid date of entry.

Above, I provide some examples of simple fraudulent practices in Sustain, the CMS developed by LA Superior Court, now used in 11 states and 3 nations, according to Sustain Corporation (control of which is still a mystery).

In Sustain, judges can enter simulated, void minutes, which appear to the public valid and effectual.

The trick is that in the last page (but not in other pages), the date of entry is registered as 00/00/00, 33/33/33, or other similar invalid dates of entry.

And if you leave it to the judges to develop, implement, and maintain the CMSs of the courts, you can bet they would create such back doors every day of the week...

Bob:

You make here an enormous error. There are numerous ways to create a Case Management System (CMS) that would address the issues at hand. United Nations reports, pertaining to Crime Prevention and "Strengthening Judicial Integrity" routinely recommend the implementation of CMSs to increase court transparency and integrity.

But it all depends on how it is done. If fraudulent systems are implemented, the effect is the opposite of that intended.

The development, implementation, and maintenance of CMSs (Case Management Systems) for the courts, must never be left under the authority of the courts themselves, likewise, CMSs for the jail/prisons must not be developed, implemented and maintained by the Sheriff, and the development of CMSs also must never be "privatized".

The wrongful implementation of Sustain in Los Angeles County in 1984 (probably under Ronald George and the main culprit) was a landmark event in making the County as lawless and as corrupt as we see it today.

In fact, wrongful conduct relative to development and implementation, was the primary finding of the Israeli State Ombudsman Report 2010, regarding the unlawful CMSs, which were implemented in the Israeli courts by IBM, EDS in the 2000s. In case services of non-government entities were to be used for such a project, the State Ombudsman Report listed a whole set of safeguards that should have been triggered, pursuant to the law of the State of Israel, in order to safeguard the integrity of such systems, but were deliberately ignored by the office of Administration of the Courts.

The fundamental issue is "validation", or "logic verification" - to be distinguished from "verification" as used in the legal context.

Simply put, in computer science, "validation", or "logic verification" refers to the process, by which one ensures that a computerized system actually performs what it is supposed to perform.

For example: If your state of law says that a person must be imprisoned only pursuant to a valid court order (as is the case in California), the CMS of the prison must not permit the imprisonment of persons, based on booking records that list non-existent courts.

It is exceedingly easy to secretly program the CMSs so that they would permit numerous prohibited practices, both in the courts and in the prisons.

Therefore, such systems should be subjected to extremely rigorous "logic verification", under accountability to the legislature. The development, implementation, and maintenance of such systems must not be left under the authority of the courts, the same way that the courts are not permitted to promulgate Court Procedures.

13-07-04 US and Egypt: Thoughts on the general draft for Independence Day

Celebrations of the July 3, 2013 Revolution in Tahrir (Independence) Square, Egypt

Occupy Tel Aviv Encampment, July 4th - the news from Egypt - the Egyptian military has deposed President Morsi, avoided any conflict with demonstrators.

This is the second revolution in Egypt in as many years. And both times the military was careful not to suppress popular demonstrations on behalf of the government that be. And in the latest round, the military is collaborating with the demonstrators.

The Egyptian military is also built on general draft.

Could one even imagine in the United States demonstrations of a scope, such as in Egypt, without brutal suppression?

With a standing army of professional, paid soldiers and no general draft, what is the chance of conduct by the US armed forces during civil unrest in the United States, similar to that of the Egyptian military?

So, on this July 4th, who is more "independent"? The Egyptian people, or the people of the United States???

"From the FBI's interception unit on the premises of private companies, the information is passed to one or more "customers" at the NSA, CIA or FBI."

Each target is assigned a case notation

The PRISM case notation format reflects the availability, confirmed by The Post's reporting, of real-time surveillance as well as stored content.
Depending on the provider, the NSA may receive live notifications when a target logs on or sends an e-mail, or may monitor a voice, text or voice chat as it happens (noted on the first slide as "Surveillance").

Searching the PRISM database

On April 5, according to this slide, there were 117,675 active surveillance targets in PRISM's counterterrorism database. The slide does not show how many other Internet users, and among them how many Americans, have their communications collected "incidentally" during surveillance of those targets.

Empire's Useful Idiots: Tom Friedman and Other Pundits Sucking Up to the State

Why, our pundits wonder, should we be disturbed by our state's desire to know everything that everyone does?
 

It's a fine thing to see mainstream American media outlets finally sparing some of their attention toward the cyber-industrial complex – that unprecedented conglomeration of state, military and corporate interests that together exercise growing power over the flow of information. It would be even more heartening if so many of the nation's most influential voices, from senator to pundits, were not clearly intent on killing off even this belated scrutiny into the invisible empire that so thoroughly scrutinizes us – at our own expense and to unknown ends.
Summing up the position of those who worry less over secret government powers than they do over the whistleblowers who reveal such things, we have New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who argues that we can trust small cadres of unaccountable spies with broad powers over our communications. We must all wish Friedman luck with this prediction.

New NSA Leak Censored: Read It Here!

Sunday, June 30, 2013 21:07

A new NSA spy scandal story has been released by the Guardian and nearly immediately taken down; however, we have embedded it here below in its entirety for you to read courtesy of pastebin. Why did the Guardian put this story out and then take it back down? Are there secrets revealed here that even the Guardian doesn’t want their readers to know? 


The Guardian released another shocking NSA scoop on Saturday, revealing collusion and mass harvesting of personal communications among the United States and at least six European Union countries — only to delete it from their website hours after publication.

The article, titled “Revealed: secret European deals to hand over private data to America,” was written by Jamie Doward, who reported information from Wayne Madsen, a former Navy Lt. and NSA employee for 12 years.

Madsen said the countries had “formal second and third party status” under signal intelligence (sigint) agreements that compels them to hand over data, including mobile phone and internet information to the NSA if requested.

Under international intelligence agreements, confirmed by declassified documents, nations are categorised by the US according to their trust level. The US is first party while the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand enjoy second party relationships. Germany and France have third party relationships.

U.S. Surveillance Is Not Aimed at Terrorists

...
People concerned with online privacy tend to calm down when told that the government can record their calls or read their e-mail only under special circumstances and with proper court orders. The assumption is that they have nothing to worry about unless they are terrorists or correspond with the wrong people.
The infrastructure set up by the National Security Agency, however, may only be good for gathering information on the stupidest, lowest-ranking of terrorists. The Prism surveillance program focuses on access to the servers of America’s largest Internet companies, which support such popular services as Skype, Gmail and iCloud. These are not the services that truly dangerous elements typically use.
...
The Netherlands’ security service, which couldn’t find recent data on the size of the Undernet, cited a 2003 study from the University of California at Berkeley as the “latest available scientific assessment.” The study found that just 0.2 percent of the Internet could be searched. The rest remained inscrutable and has probably grown since. In 2010, Google Inc. said it had indexed just 0.004 percent of the information on the Internet.

FISA Judge Who Approved Massive NSA Spying Identified?

By  (about the author)     

Headlined to H1 6/30/13

 
The Washington Post has a new article out, 

And the article does report that the judge was annoyed that the idea of collaborating with the government was an inaccurate portrayal. 

But it seems that the bigger story is that this judge is THE judge, who, all alone, decided that it was okay for the NSA and whoever else had access, to spy on ALL Americans. Her name is Colleen Kollar-Kotelly. 


Colleen Kollar-Kotelly by Wikipedia
Here's the excerpt from the WaPo article that is most significant:
On July 14, 2004, the surveillance court for the first time approved the gathering of information by the NSA, which created the equivalent of a digital vault to hold Internet metadata. Kollar-Kotelly's order authorized the metadata program under a FISA provision known as the "pen register/trap and trace," or PRTT.
The ruling was a secret not just to the public and most of Congress, but to all of Kollar-Kotelly's surveillance court colleagues. Under orders from the president, none of the court's other 10 members could be told about the Internet metadata program, which was one prong of a larger and highly classified data-gathering effort known as the President's Surveillance Program, or PSP.
But the importance of her order -- which approved the collection based on a 1986 law typically used for phone records -- was hard to overstate.
"The order essentially gave NSA the same authority to collect bulk Internet metadata that it had under the PSP," the inspector general's report said, with some minor caveats including reducing the number of people who could access the records.
On May 24, 2006, Kollar-Kotelly signed another order, this one authorizing the bulk collection of phone metadata from U.S. phone companies, under a FISA provision known as Section 215, or the "business records provision," of the USA Patriot Act. "

A 2006 Washingtonpost article also mentions Kollar-Kotelly, so the news is not a first time revelation of her tie to the authorization. The older article also refers to her predecessor,  Royce C. Lamberth and suggests that they had serious concerns about the legality of the program, instituted when George W. Bush was president;
" Both judges expressed concern to senior officials that the president's program, if ever made public and challenged in court, ran a significant risk of being declared unconstitutional, according to sources familiar with their actions. Yet the judges believed they did not have the authority to rule on the president's power to order the eavesdropping, government sources said, and focused instead on protecting the integrity of the FISA process.
It was an odd position for the presiding judges of the FISA court, the secret panel created in 1978 in response to a public outcry over warrantless domestic spying by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. The court's appointees, chosen by then-Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, were generally veteran jurists with a pro-government bent, and their classified work is considered a powerful tool for catching spies and terrorists."

Perhaps this judge has been portrayed unfairly, as collaborating with the government. But more important, it seems to put a face-- THE face-- on the American who decided it was okay to spy on every other American. 

Regardless of her raising of concerns, she went ahead and, with her unique power, as head of the secretive FISA Court, made an even more secret decision to approve the worse spying in the history of America. In spite of evidence of abuses, that the 2006 WaPo article reported, she went ahead and approved further, more egregious and aggressive spying. It looks like she never said no, when asked. 

She should be called before congress and questioned. And she should be more worried about what she DID than what is said about her so far. There is  no question that she did approve the horrific level of spying we now know the NSA engages in.

The question is, how did any protector of the citizens-- the duty of every elected and appointed government official, ever allow a single person to make such an important decision-- and who decided to keep it secret? Because they violated their oath and should be punished to the full extent of the law.

13-07-01 Israel: Major flaws in authentication and verification of the biometric database

Israel has initiated a biometric database, regardless of adamant objections by Israeli computer science experts, who are leading world authorities in the field of electronic data encryption and data security.
Now it turns out that major flaws are found in the pilot project.
Major flaws were previously found in the Israeli government implementation of the Electronic Signature Act (2001), which enable the falsification of court records. The Human Rights Alert (NGO) submission was incorporated into the United Nations Human Rights Council Periodic Review of Human Rights in Israel (2013), with a note: "Lack of integrity in the electronic records of the Supreme Court, the district courts and the detainees courts in Israel".
Lack of integrity in the electronic records of the California courts was part of the Human Rights submission, which was incorporated into the United Nations Human Rights Council Periodic Review of Human Rights in the United States (2010), with a note: "Corruption of the courts and the legal profession... in California".
Papers, published in peer-reviewed international academic periodicals also detail lack of integrity in the electronic records of the US courts - PACER and CM/ECF.
Invalid transition to electronic government records with inadequate public oversight presents a major threat to Human Rights.

13-07-01 Occupy Tel-Aviv Encampment - apparent attempts by persons related to Israel Police to infiltrate and control the encampment.

 

Occupy Tel Aviv Encampment, July 1 - Joseph Zernik, PhD of Human Rights Alert (NGO) filed today a letter with Mr Arik Shua, Director of the Neighborhoods and Quarters Department of the Tel Aviv Municipality - requesting information and direct communication between the Municipality and residents of the  encampment.  [1]
With the request, a Declaration was filed, detailing evidence that gives rise to the concern that persons, with whom the Municipality chose to communicate as "Representatives" of Encampment engaged in dishonest conduct, and concerns that they may be related to Israel Police. [2]
The communications were copied to Members of Knesset, Social Protest activists, and media.

13-06-30 Los Angeles County as an extra-constitutional zone...

from a discussion board, sorry for the extra long posting, seeking comments, as detailed below.  jz
 

I planted this big balloon a few messages ago, but there were no bites.

Around 2008, I posted on my blog a piece, with the title above, or something similar.  For me it was the logical conclusion from intensive review of the past 30 years of corruption in Los Angeles, with the historical background from the 1920's:
- Iran-Contra wholesale cocaine trafficking by CIA to LA
- in your face racketeering by California judges, in full view and with full backing by federal agencies (James Wedick was productive in producing that evidence in more ways than one).
- large scale false imprisonment
- extreme corruption in the LAPD
- extreme corruption in Countrywide (then the largest sub-prime mortgage lender and a financial giant.)
- being recognized by the early 2000s by FBI as "the epicenter of the epidemic of real estate and mortgage fraud",
- the US District Court in LA appears to be a clearing house for strange transactions by federal agencies, in numerous "MJ" cases, moving mysterious persons, objects,funds from point A to point B.

My conclusion was: Los Angeles is recognized by federal agencies as an Extra-constitutional Zone.  A couple of nearby GITMOs can come in handy for any good government of the people, by the people, etc.

And then came the anonymous tip, an email from a person that clearly was in some understanding of legal matters, and he quoted a SCOTUS decision that talked about the same very issue, relative to the manner in which the area was acquired by the United States. (kind of GITMO story).

Any bites on this conspiracy?

Subject: [Lawsters:16678] Re: 13-06-30 Los Angeles County as an extra-constitutional zone...

One more piece for the puzzle:
Under Bush II, US judges were appointed as Overseers for Civil Rights in areas of great abuse:
a. GITMO
b. California prisons
c. Los Angeles

GITMO and California prisons are clearly zones of restricted constitutional and civil rights.
Perhaps Los Angeles too?

My 2010 submission to the United Nations was in part supported by government, court, media, and academic records, supporting the conclusion that the level of government corruption in Los Angeles today is higher than in the 1920's (e.g.  government report: Rampart Reconsidered, 2006), and that such conduct is patronized by the FBI and US DOJ.  At the same time, FBI reports, already in the early 2000s identified Los Angeles as the epicenter of real estate and mortgage fraud, and identified such conditions as a national threat.  Los Angeles County now got its claim to fame in history, as the cradle of the Greater Depression...

With all the attorneys on this group, can anybody dig up that SCOTUS opinion on US sovereignty in Los Angeles/ applicability of US law, or do I have to do all the work again?  :)

I love Google, these don't forget don't forgive systems.... So here is the tip as it came, luv to hear commnets.  I never went to see the decision that the tip refers to, since I usually stick to fraud on the face of documents, and this was above my head...  jz

Here is a mega tip for you.
Take a look at the Ruling of the United State's Supreme Court from 1984 in a case called Summa Co. vs. Cal state lands commission.
466 U. S. 198 (1984)
This will blow your mind. Read (especially) the amicus curiae brief filed by the US Solicitor General on the matter:
Brief no. 82-708
It basically said that Calif and/or L.A. never properely paid for the land where Marina del Rey is.
It seems that somebody made a huge mistake and assumed that that land could be taken (from the true owner(s)) as part of the Public Trust Doctrine - lands subjected to tides. However, this land was also once part of a Mexican Land Grant and the High Court had held long before through a series of cases that state could not assert Public Trust servitudes in Mexican Land Grants. The solicitor General asserts that when they realized the seriousness of their mistake they started the lawsuit to try to cover up the fact and confuse the public and the true owners.
It seems that even the Calif Supreme Court did the unthinkable when they ruled for California - a decision that had absolutely no basis in law according to the solicitor general. The High Court reversed the Ca high court.
The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the case remanded back down so that they finish out the matter in way not inconsistent with their ruling. That was in 1984. It seems CA ignored the US Supreme Court Ruling and didn't do anything other than to sweep it under the rug as best they could... The case was remanded all the way back down to the trial court level where it still festers today. They gave the case to a commissioner, Bruce Miller, and as far as I can tell they have still not followed the ruling of the US Supreme Court.
By the way once the US Supreme court ruled that the Hildalgo Guadalupe treaty was the trump card in the case, is you will, I think that this should mean that the case is one of original jurrisdiction and therefore should be in federal court and not even in state court. It seems that the fox had been put in charge of the hen house - a major conflict of interest!

Could the Summa v Cal case have something to do with Richard Fine and way all this always seems to be related to Marina del Rey? I think maybe so.

The summa case is just the tip of the iceburg, but it is all there for you to find if you just look. I gaurantee that if you look at that case your mind will be blown. This is the biggest heist ever - committed in broad daylight, and no one has any knowledge, except those who stole the land in the first place which interestingly is both of the parties in the case.

Stealing land from Mexican Land Grant recipiants was a virtual industry and the best, most cunning, effective way to accomplish this is to start a bogus lawsuit -something about the land. Hence both parties where trying to steal it from an unsuspecting and unnamed and unserved third party - the true owner who BTW lives in Culver City!!! I found him with a couple of phone calls.

Note: the (Summa v. CA) case started in 1965 just as the Marina was being finished and the original name of the case is Los Angeles v. Venice Peninsula Properties.

If you want to pluck this weed once and for all, (I believe) here is where you will find the root.

Good Luck and God Speed
