RE: Request for an honest and effectual UPR report on the United States by the Human Rights Council of the United Nations

To Their Excellencies, Ambassadors to the United Nations:

I, the undersigned, Joseph Zernik, a resident of the United States of America, read with great hope the news regarding the first ever, November 2010, Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Human Rights in the United States by the Human Rights Council of the United Nations.

Based on my personal experiences and observations, I recognize the widespread corruption of the justice system in the United States, and failure of United States government to uphold its responsibilities and obligations pursuant to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

I read the staff reports of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations, and was invigorated in my hopes that the final UPR report would likewise reflect the urgent need for the United States to address the rampant violations of the Human Rights of its own people. 

I also hope that the final UPR report would call upon the United States to cooperate with observers and rapporteurs that were and would be commissioned by the United Nations, in efforts to monitor efforts and progress by the United States in addressing such violations, following the issuance of the November 2010 UPR report of the United Nations Human Rights Council.   

We, who live in the United States, suffered substantial deterioration in our Human, Civil, and Constitutional Rights, particularly in the past decade. The UPR process of the United Nations is a unique opportunity for the truth in this matter to be finally heard – loud and clear.

I believe that the UPR process could reflect the United Nations at its best, and trust that on November 5, 2010, you would vote for an honest and effectual UPR report on Human Rights in the United States of America.

Sincerely,

Joseph Zernik, PhD

10-10-13 High level financial management fraud at the Los Angeles Superior Court, Sheriff's Department - A call for action by US law enforcement

Charles McCoy, Presiding Judge; _John Clarke, Clerk;_ __  _ _  Leroy Baca, Sheriff

High Level Financial Management Fraud at the Los Angeles Superior Court and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department - A Call for Action by US Law Enforcement
Los Angeles, October 13 - Human Rights Alert (NGO) called for action by US law enforcement regarding mounting evidence of high-level financial management fraud at the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Secret bank accounts, controlled by the judges of the LASC were exposed over a decade ago in a series of reports by the Washington DC Insight Magazine [1]regarding secretive corporations, controlled by the judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court, and inexplicable fund movements in and out of such corporations. 
Regardless, no report of actions by IRS, FBI, or US Dept of Justice in this regard was ever found.
Last time it was checked (around 2009), such corporations were still listed by the California Secretary of State.
Additionally, Human Rights Alert documented the designation of all court fees in certain cases of the Los Angeles Superior Court as "Journal Entry",  whereas in other cases such fees are recorded as "Filing Fees", "Motion Fees", "Stipulation Fees", etc.[2]  Presiding Judge Charles McCoy and Clerk of the Court John A Clarke, denied repeated requests to disclose the ultimate designation of such funds. [3] Accountancy textbook consider the misuse of "Journal Entry" as a cardinal sign of high-level financial management fraud.  Of note, until recently the LASC never permitted public access to its financial reports, and today it publishes unaudited financial reports.
The online publication of false records pertaining to bail amounts, which were collected from prisoners by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, was likewise documented by Human Rights Alert. The Sheriff's Department refused to this date to answer on complaints on the matter, which alleged corruption and large-scale financial fraud in bail/bond operations of the Department. [4] 
United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) staff report, [5] which was recently issued as part of the 2010 Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Human Rights in the United States, referred to: "...corruption in the courts and the legal profession, and discrimination of US law enforcement in California. 69"... "69 HRAlert, pages 1-5. See submission for cases cited."  The statements were based on the April 2010 submission by Human Rights Alert.  The evidence provided by Human Rights Alert pertained to large-scale false imprisonment at the criminal courts, and real estate fraud in collusion with large financial institutions and law-firms at the civil courts.  The submission was based on media, expert, and official reports from the last two decades, as well as analysis of court records in a series of cases opined as fraud and perversion of justice by the courts.
The reference in the HRC report to "discrimination of US law enforcement in California", pertained to documents provided by Human Rights Alert showing discrimination by US law enforcement for at least two decades against Los Angeles County, California, through refusal to address overwhelming evidence of racketeering by judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court. In its report, Human Rights Alert called upon the US Congress to enact Federal Rules for Public Access to Electronic Court Record, Case Management, and Electronic Court Fling, as quintessential for restoration of integrity of the courts in the United States, for restoration of the Rule of Law, and for the safeguard of Human Rights in the digital era.   
Human Rights Alert also called upon the United States to effectively engage in a cooperative effort with internationally charged observers and rappeurtors, as part of the ongoing UPR process from 2010 to 2014.
Human Rights Alert is dedicated to discovering, archiving, and disseminating evidence of Human Rights violations by the justice systems of the State of California and the United States in Los Angeles, California, and beyond. Special emphasis is given to the unique role of online public access and computerized case management systems in the precipitous deterioration of integrity of the justice system.
Human Rights Alert expressed its confidence that the outcome of the first ever international review of Human Rights in the United States, would be a landmark event, and that the United Nations HRC would vote on an effectual Human Rights report on the United States in its November 5, 2010, UPR session in Geneva, Switzerland.

BOB SCHULZ RESPONDS TO TIME MAGAZINE

WTP Chairman Bob Schulz is featured in the cover story of the Oct. 11, 2010 issue of TIME magazine titled, ""Locked and Loaded: The Secret World of Extreme Militias." NOTE: The TIME article is volatile and highly misleading. What follows is Bob's response. Please send it to as many people as you can. Thank you.  Links to the TIME article and an online interview w/ Bob Schulz are at the bottom of this update.

Dear Editor:

I am featured in your cover article, written by Barton Gellman, though I cannot understand why.  You have wholly mischaracterized me and the works of my Foundation, in order to shoehorn me into a piece that may work for TIME, but has no relevance to what Gellman and I discussed. The information I provided to Gellman, through more than six hours of face-to-face interviews, plus e-mails and written documentation, has been twisted and wholly taken out of context, rendering it inaccurate, misleading and libelous.

There are so many falsehoods in what was attributed to me that I cannot address them all in this letter. I will take them up with TIME management. 

For the record, I have never advocated violence, I do not and have never belonged to any militia, nor do I communicate with militias or influence militias in any way that I am aware of.  However, I do fully support the Constitution's guarantee of well-regulated militias in every State. To quote the mandate of the second Amendment, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the Right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Therefore, the absence of well-regulated Militias in every State is repugnant to the constitution. 

This article serves neither the truth nor the People of this nation. While it wastes thousands of words regurgitating the intricate details of militia activities, their confrontations with government officials, and a handful of blatantly criminal acts, the article fails to address the fundamental "secret" re-invigorating the Patriot consciousness of Americans across the land. 

The "secret" that the mainstream media appears to have an extreme aversion against putting forward or openly discussing, is that over many administrations, with the support of both Parties, the federal government has all but abandoned our Constitution.(Continued...)

10-10-05 LA Times - UC study showed prosecutors commit misconduct with impunity in California

Report finds many prosecutors in California have committed misconduct

A law school study discovers 707 cases in which state, U.S. and appellate courts found misconduct in opinions between 1997 and 2009. The authors criticize the State Bar for disciplining only 6 prosecutors.

la-me-prosecutorial-misconduct-20101005

Hundreds of prosecutors in California — including many in Los Angeles County — have committed misconduct with near impunity as authorities failed to either report or discipline them, according to a report released Monday.
The misconduct ranged from asking witnesses improper questions during trial to failing to turn over evidence that could help a defendant and presenting false evidence in court, according to the report, which was issued by an innocence project at the Santa Clara University School of Law.
The researchers discovered 707 cases in which state and federal courts and appellate courts found prosecutorial misconduct in opinions issued between 1997 and 2009. Of those, 67 prosecutors committed misconduct in more than one case, including three who committed misconduct four times and two who did so five times.
The authors of the report said most prosecutors follow the law and act ethically, but they criticized the State Bar for disciplining only six prosecutors during the period covered by the study.

"Prosecutors aren't held accountable," said Maurice Possley, an award-winning journalist who worked on the study by the Northern California Innocence Project. "Absent that, why should they change their habits?"
The researchers called for legal reform to require that courts forward all findings of misconduct to the State Bar, which investigates allegations of attorney misconduct. Courts are not currently required to forward cases in which they decide the misconduct was harmless.
Scott Thorpe, chief executive of the California District Attorneys Assn., criticized the report for exaggerating the scale and severity of prosecutorial misconduct.
He noted that courts found that prosecutorial misconduct was serious enough to reverse a case or take some other significant action in 159 instances — a small fraction of the more than 4,000 appeals that alleged misconduct. In the remaining cases where misconduct was found, appellate courts concluded that the prosecutor's actions did not undermine a defendant's right to a fair trial.
Thorpe said his association and district attorney's offices around the state put on regular ethics training seminars for prosecutors.
"I'm not in any way implying that prosecutors have not been guilty of misconduct," Thorpe said. But he said the report was "just not an accurate reflection."
In response to the report, State Bar officials said discipline is not always appropriate when appellate courts find misconduct. Misconduct can occur when prosecutors act unintentionally or where their errors were relatively minor, Russell Weiner, the agency's deputy chief trial counsel, said in a statement.
The agency also has the option of sending prosecutors warning letters or private reprovals for first-time offenders in cases that are not egregious, Weiner said.
But the report's authors said that district attorneys and the State Bar should be more open with the public about the actions they take — if any — against prosecutors who commit misconduct.
"Transparency is critical," said Cookie Ridolfi, a Santa Clara University School of Law professor and executive director of the innocence project.
She and Possley faulted appellate courts for frequently omitting the names of attorneys found to have committed prosecutorial misconduct. The innocence project researched the names of prosecutors in 600 cases and has included them with summaries of the cases on its website, veritasinitiative.org.
The report said courts found misconduct by Orange County prosecutor Mike Flory on five occasions. In one case, an appeals court ruled that he improperly used race as a criteria for selecting jurors. In another, he was criticized for noting in his argument to the jury that the defendant was not present in court — despite the judge telling Flory not to.
Flory said he never intended to exclude jurors based on their race and regretted his comment about the absent defendant, which occurred more than a decade ago. He noted that the appeals court found that four of the five cases involved "harmless error."
"I am an aggressive prosecutor," Flory said. "Does that mean that I purposely set out to conduct misconduct? I don't think so."
The report singled out Los Angeles County Deputy Dist. Atty. Grace Rai as "a striking example of repeat prosecutorial misconduct that has not been publicly disciplined."
In 2008, an appeals court overturned a murder conviction after finding that the prosecutor disobeyed a court order, asked improper questions and committed other misconduct. Two years earlier, an appeals court concluded that Rai probably intentionally violated a court order in another murder case but that the conduct did not prevent the defendant from receiving a fair trial.
Rai did not return calls for comment Monday.
The report found that prosecutorial misconduct has far-reaching consequences, including the conviction of the innocent, new trials for the guilty and a large cost to taxpayers who foot the bill for new trials and legal settlements.
Among the cases the report's authors highlighted as egregious was that of Mark Sodersten, whose 1986 murder conviction in Tulare County was overturned in 2007, months after he died in prison. An appellate court ruled that the prosecutor, Phil Cline, failed to give the defense audiotapes of interviews he conducted with a 5-year-old witness that could have shown her testimony was unreliable.
The appellate court found that "those whose duty it was to see justice done neglected or ignored that duty." The innocence project faulted the State Bar for not taking action against Cline.
Cline, now the district attorney of Tulare County, said the courts never found he intentionally withheld the tapes. He insisted he did provide them to the defense but was unable to prove it because he had not kept records of doing so.
"Hooking us into prosecutorial misconduct is just wrong," he said.

The Los Angeles Jewish/legal community again asked to assume accountability for conduct of Bet Tzedek -”The House of Justice” Los Angeles, October 05 – following recent reports of questionable transactions having been conducted under the label of Bet Tzedek - “The House of Justice” - Human Rights Alert (NGO) re-issued its June 11, 2010 release, which already then called upon the Los Angeles Jewish/legal community to assume accountability for the conduct of Bet Tzedek -”The House of Justice”.[1] Combined, concerns must be heighten that Bet Tzedek, “The House of Justice”, has evolved into a mixed use organization. While it may still be an effective provider of free legal services, it also doubles as the seat of various other enterprises. Human Rights Alert also called attention to the Human Rights Alert April 2010 submission to the United Nations, which was recently been given a note and a reference in the United Nations Human Rights Council staff report of corruption of the courts, the legal profession, and law enforcement in Los Angeles County, California.

10-10-02 Human Rights Alert's report pertaining to corruption of the courts, the legal profession, and law enforcement in Los Angeles County, California, was noted by the United Nations Los Angeles, October 2 - Human Rights Alert (NGO), a young organization, with no resources at all, got a mention and a reference in the report staff report of the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations, [1] as part of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Human Rights in the United States. Page 8: HRAlert referred to corruption in the courts and the legal profession, and discrimination of US law enforcement in California. 69 Notes: 69 HRAlert, pages 1-5. See submission for cases cited. The evidence provided by Human Rights Alert pertained to large-scale false imprisonment at the criminal courts, and real estate fraud in collusion with large financial institutions and law-firms at the civil courts. The HRC report reference was somewhat cryptic regarding "discrimination of US law enforcement in California." It pertained to allegations in the Human Rights Alert report of discrimination by law enforcement against Los Angeles County, California, for at least two decades, through refusal of US law enforcement to address overwhelming evidence of racketeering by judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court. Discrimination against a region of the country is a violation of Human Rights, in and of itself. The Human Rights Alert report to the United Nations provided evidence of such discrimination through conduct of KENNETH KAISER -FBI Assistant Director for Criminal Investigations, and KENNETH MELSON - former Director of US Department of Justice Office of US Attorneys. The report also provided evidence of patronizing of the conduct of the Los Angeles Superior Court by the United States courts - National Tribunals for Protection of Rights pursuant to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - from the US District Court, Central District of California, through the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, to the Supreme Court of the United States. Much larger organizations, and even Joint Reports of consortia of organizations got no mention at all. The HRC report was issued as part of the UPR process, established by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 2006. In April 2010, over 100 organizations filed reports as "stakeholders" as part of the review process. In August 2010 the US State Department filed its response. Albeit, the State Department report simply ignored the reports of stakeholders and the HRC staff, and was largely self-congratulatory. Review session regarding Human Rights in the United States is scheduled for November 5, 2010 in Geneva. Human Rights Alert (NGO) is dedicated to discovering, archiving, and disseminating evidence of Human Rights violations by the justice systems of the State of California and the United States in Los Angeles, California, and beyond. Special emphasis is given to the unique role of computerized case management systems in the precipitous deterioration of integrity of the justice system.

10-10-05 The Los Angeles Jewish/legal community again asked to assume accountability for conduct of Bet Tzedek -”The House of Justice”

  
The Los Angeles Jewish/legal community again asked to assume accountability for conduct of Bet Tzedek - "The House of Justice"Los Angeles, October 11 -  following recent reports of questionable transactions having been conducted by Holly Fujie, Board Member of Bet Tzedek - "The House of Justice", Human Rights Alert (NGO) again called upon the Los Angeles Jewish and legal communities to assume accountability for the conduct of Bet Tzedek, since the evidence showed that Bet Tzedek had evolved into a mixed use organization. While it may still be an effective provider of free legal services, it also doubles as the seat of various other enterprises, which must be deemed contrary to both its mission and the law, and were alleged as racketeering. [1]The recent reports [2] involving Holly Fujie, included, but were not limited to the transfer of funds from the Foundation of the State Bar of California to Bet Tzedek.
Three former senior officers of Bet Tzedek,  Sandor Samuels (then President of Bet Tzedek and Chief Legal Officer of Countrywide Financial Corporation), David Pasternak (former President of Bet Tzedek), and Terry Friedman (former Executive Director of Bet Tzedek and Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court) were previously involved in conduct that was initiated on the grounds of Bet Tzedek, and was alleged in complaints filed with the US Attorney Office as racketeering. [3]
Combined, Bet Tzedek is therefore directly involved in conduct that was documented in Human Rights Alert's April 2010 submission to the United Nations Human Rights Council, and which has recently been referred to in the United Nations Human Rights Council staff report as "corruption of the courts and the legal profession... in Los Angeles County, California." [4]Mitch Kamin, President of Bet Tzedek, refused to respond on repeated requests to address conditions at Bet Tzedek, and so did the Los Angeles Jewish Federation, with whom Bet Tzedek is affiliated. [5]

10-10-02 Corruption of the courts and the legal profession in Los Angeles County, California, was noted by the United Nations // La corrupción de los tribunales y los abogados en Los Angeles, California, fue señalada por las Naciones Unidas

Los Angeles, October 10 -  United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) staff report, [1] issued as part of the 2010 Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Human Rights in the United States noticed: "corruption in the courts and the legal profession, and discrimination of US law enforcement in California. [69]"... "[ 69]: HRAlert, pages 1-5. See submission for cases cited."  The notice was based on the April 2010 submission by Human Rights Alert (NGO).  The evidence provided by Human Rights Alert pertained to large-scale false imprisonment at the criminal courts, and real estate fraud in collusion with large financial institutions and law-firms at the civil courts.  The submission was based on media, expert, and official reports from the last two decades, as well as analysis of court records in a series of cases opined as fraud and perversion of justice by the courts.
The reference in the HRC report to "discrimination of US law enforcement in California", pertained to documents provided by Human Rights Alert showing discrimination by US law enforcement for at least two decades against Los Angeles County, California, through refusal to address overwhelming evidence of racketeering by judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court.   Discrimination against a region of the country is a violation of Human Rights, in and of itself, pursuant to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Human Rights Alert report to the United Nations provided evidence of such discrimination through conduct of KENNETH KAISER - FBI Assistant Director for Criminal Investigations, and KENNETH MELSON - former Director of US Department of Justice, Office of US Attorneys. 
Human Rights Alert also provided evidence of patronizing of the conduct of the Los Angeles Superior Court by the United States courts - National Tribunals for Protection of Rights pursuant to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - from the US District Court, Central District of California, through the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, to the Supreme Court of the United States.
While the report by Human Rights Alert (NGO), a young organization with minimal resources, got a notice and a reference by the HRC, reports by much larger organizations, and even Joint Reports of consortia of Human Rights organizations got no mention at all.
The HRC report was issued as part of the UPR process, established in 2006 by the General Assembly of the United Nations.  In April 2010, over 100 organizations filed stakeholders' reports as part of the first ever review of Human Rights in the United States. In August 2010 the US State Department filed its response.  Albeit, the State Department report simply ignored the reports of stakeholders and the HRC staff.  Instead, the US State Department issued a report that was largely self-congratulatory. Review session regarding Human Rights in the United States is scheduled for November 5, 2010 in Geneva, Switzerland.
In its report, Human Rights Alert called upon the US Congress to enact Federal Rules for Public Access to Electronic Court Record, Case Management, and Electronic Court Fling (PACER & CM/ECF), as quintessential for restoration of integrity of banking regulation and the courts in the United States, for restoration of the Rule of Law, and for the safeguard of Human Rights in the digital era. [2] [3]  Human Rights Alert also called upon the United States to effectively engage in a cooperative effort with internationally charged observers and rappeurtors, as part of the ongoing UPR process from 2010 to 2014.
Human Rights Alert (NGO) is dedicated to discovering, archiving, and disseminating evidence of Human Rights violations by the justice systems of the State of California and the United States in Los Angeles, California, and beyond. Special emphasis is given to the unique role of computerized case management systems in the precipitous deterioration of integrity of the justice system.LINKS[1] 10-01-10 United Nations Human Rights Council Records for 2010 Review (UPR) of Human Rights in the United States:
