Dr William S Epps, Pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Los Angeles, Endorsed the Petition: Stay the Execution of Kevin Cooper, Impose a Moratorium on the Death Penalty in California

Los Angeles, December 21 - Dr William S Epps, Pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Los Angeles, endorsed  the call upon California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to stop the execution of Kevin Cooper and impose a moratorium on the death penalty in California.

The petition was also endorsed by Rabbi Michael Lerner, of Beyt Tikkun, Berkeley, Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller, UCLA Hillel, and 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.

Moreover, corruption of the justice system in Los Angeles County, California, has been repeatedly documented for over a decade in official, scholarly and media reports.

Thousand of Rampart-FIPs (Falsely Imprisoned Persons) - victims of court corruption in Los Angeles County, which was uncovered in the Rampart scandal investigation (1998-2000) - mostly black and Latinos - remain imprisoned to this date, and judges of the Los Angeles Court were documented as objecting to their release, since it would lead to "collapse of the justice system".

"Corruption of the courts and the legal profession" in California was also noted in a recent report of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which called upon the US to abolish the death penalty.

Therefore, the petition called upon California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to stop the execution of Kevin Cooper and to impose a moratorium on the death penalty in California.

Given the widespread corruption of the State of California justice system, religious leaders were asked to call upon the Governor of California to initiate corrective actions.

WikiLeaks Has the Goods on Bank of America, So Bank of America Helps to Try and Shut It Down

Submitted by BuzzFlash on Sat, 12/18/2010 - 1:15pm. 

• Guest Commentary

STEPHEN PIZZO FOR BUZZFLASH

You know, some days the news writes this column itself. This is one of days. Bank of America announced yesterday that it would stop processing transactions related to WikiLeaks. Why? Well, of course, because BofA doesn't want to be part of illegal activity, that's why. Well, unless they're getting a cut, that is. In the case at hand, they are not only not getting a cut, but are about to be cut and by WikiLeaks itself. Accounting to numerous knowledgable sources, WikiLeaks is sitting on a pile of BofA internal documents showing the bank may have been the biggest banking racketeering enterprise since BCCI.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange revealed that his whistleblower website intends to publish a trove of secret documents exposing the corruption of a major American bank. "At the moment, for example, we are sitting on 5GB from Bank of America, one of the executive's hard drives," Assange told the technology site Computer World in an article published on October 9, 2009.

Now, I'm not saying that BofA's decision to try to starve WikiLeaks of cash to prevent them from being able to make those documents public. I mean, that would cynical. But, from what is already known about BofA's part in the mortgage scams that played a key role in throwing the US economy into a near-depression, well, one could be cynical about the bank's motives.

Then there is the issue of states suing Bank of America for mortgage fraud. According to the New York Times:

In withering complaints filed in state courts in both states, the attorneys general accused Bank of America of assuring customers that they would not be foreclosed upon while they were seeking loan modifications, only to proceed with foreclosures anyway; of falsely telling customers that they must be in default to obtain a modification; of promising that the modifications would be made permanent if they completed a trial period, only to renege on the deal; and of conjuring up bogus reasons for denying modifications.

"Bank of America's callous disregard for providing timely, correct information to people in their time of need is truly egregious," Catherine Cortez Masto, the attorney general of Nevada said in a statement.

Just as a side note, this behavior by BofA stands in stark contrast to the what the bank's founder, Amadeo Giannini, did during the last Great Depression when homeowners fell behind in the mortgage payments. Giannini told them to pay what they could and to at least make the interest portion of their payment. That move alone saved the homes of tens of thousands of San Franciscans, including my immigrant grand parents.

Todays leaders at the bank turned Giannini's actions on its head. Instead of helping home owners, BofA pocketed $37 billion of the $45 billion in federal bailout funds then led delinquent borrows straight to the slaughterhouse.

What we have here, when you take in the whole landscape, is Bank of America and the US Justice Dept. on the same side. Both want WikiLeaks shut down and shut up -- and both for the same reason -- WikiLeaks is giving average folk a rare peek into exactly what these two giants are up to.

And now that we've seen some of their documents, we can see why they want WikiLeaks out of business, and out of mind.

Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz Endorsed the Petition: Stay the Execution of Kevin Cooper, Impose a Moratorium on the Death Penalty in California

Los Angeles, December 19 - Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz of Uri L'Tzedek - Orthodox Social Justice Movement - endorsed  the call upon California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to stop the execution of Kevin Cooper and impose a moratorium on the death penalty in California.

The petition was also endorsed by Tikkun's Rabbi Michael Lerner and UCLA Hillel's Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller.

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. 

Moreover, corruption of the justice system in Los Angeles County, California has been repeatedly documented for over a decade in official, scholarly and media reports. 

Thousand of Rampart-FIPs (Falsely Imprisoned Persons) - victims of court corruption of the courts in Los Angeles County, which was uncovered in the Rampart scandal investigation (1998-2000) remain imprisoned to this date, and judges of the Los Angeles Court were documented as objecting to their release, since it would lead to "collapse of the justice system".

"Corruption of the courts and the legal profession" in California was also noted in a recent report of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which called upon the US to abolish the death penalty.

Therefore, the petition called upon California Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger to stop the execution of Kevin Cooper and to impose a moratorium on the death penalty in California.

The Jewish community is vastly over-represented among judges and attorneys in California, and the Jewish community historically held itself committed to Human and Civil Rights in the United States. Therefore, Human Rights Alert repeatedly asserted that the Jewish community must deem itself accountable for the conditions of the justice system in California and the United States.

Asking leading rabbis of the day to voice their opinions on current issues has been a Jewish tradition for some 1,500 years.

1. Reasonable doubts remain regarding the guilt of Kevin Cooper

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.
