11-12-31 The Latest from Countrywide's Sandor Samuels/Bet Tzedek Productions: Cynical Holocaust Exploitation
Bet Tzedek's President, Sandor Samuels - former Chief Legal Officer of Countrywide, and former Associate Counsel of Bank of America - a person who was central to one of the largest frauds in the history of mankind, against homeowners, shareholders, and taxpayers, is now being koshered as Mr Jewish Justice...

Los Angeles, December 31 - "Sandor Samuels, President of Bet Tzedek ("The House of Justice") is the Scarlet Letter of the Los Angeles Jewish/Legal community under the current crisis," says Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), "and recently he has been repeatedly, cynically exploiting the memory of the holocaust to kosher himself as Mr Jewish Justice."
In the latest episode, Mr Samuels is sponsoring a symposium, to be held at the University of California, Los Angeles, Faculty Center, under the title "Law, Justice, and the Holocaust".
Indisputable evidence was repeatedly produced of criminality by SANDOR SAMUELS, former Chief Legal Counsel of Countrywide and former Associate General Counsel of Bank of America:
In the meanwhile, Samuels continues to serve on the boards of other Los Angeles Jewish institutions as well:
“Public corruption is properly reserved for describing corruption in full public view. Sandor Samuels is a fine example,” concludes Dr Zernik.

Los Angeles, December 31 - "Sandor Samuels, President of Bet Tzedek ("The House of Justice") is the Scarlet Letter of the Los Angeles Jewish/Legal community under the current crisis," says Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), "and recently he has been repeatedly, cynically exploiting the memory of the holocaust to kosher himself as Mr Jewish Justice."
In the latest episode, Mr Samuels is sponsoring a symposium, to be held at the University of California, Los Angeles, Faculty Center, under the title "Law, Justice, and the Holocaust".
Indisputable evidence was repeatedly produced of criminality by SANDOR SAMUELS, former Chief Legal Counsel of Countrywide and former Associate General Counsel of Bank of America:
- Massive fraud on the US tax payer, on shareholders, and on homeowners - as the key architect of Countrywide's "streamlining" of banking regulation.
- Corruption of the courts and the legal profession - as part of the ongoing epidemic of fraud in the courts in real estate, mortgage and banking matters.
- Starting at least in the early 2000s - key figure in establishing corrupt organization practices in Countrywide, with an unprecedented fraud on the US tax payer, on shareholders, and on homeowners nationwide;
- Starting in the early 2000s – key figure in corruption of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles and the US District Court, Central District of California;
- \Starting March 2007 – central figure in conduct amounting to racketeering in the Los Angeles Superior Court, on the grounds of Bet Tzedek, as President of Bet Tzedek; [[i]]
- In January 2008 – directly responsible for the collapse of Countrywide, following the publication of news of fraud through the filing of “Recreated Letters” as evidence in the US Bankruptcy Court in PA by Countrywide’s attorneys. [[ii]]
- In March 2008 – directly responsible for the fraud in the US District Court, TX by attorneys for Countrywide, and a Memorandum Opinion by the Hon Judge Jeff Bohm, documenting similar conduct by Countrywide in courts throughout the United States. [[iii]]
- Starting July 2008 – directly responsible for implementing similar conduct in Bank of America. [[iv]]
- 2010 – key figure in Human Rights Alert’s report, which was incorporated into the United Nations Human Rights Council Staff Report, with a note referring to “corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California”. [[v]]
In the meanwhile, Samuels continues to serve on the boards of other Los Angeles Jewish institutions as well:
- Adat Ari-El Synagogue
- American Jewish University, Los Angeles
- Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies
- Shalhevet School
“Public corruption is properly reserved for describing corruption in full public view. Sandor Samuels is a fine example,” concludes Dr Zernik.

A Lubbock police photo of Tim Cole's booking in April 1985. Lubbock Police Department, Courtesy Cole Family
During the past 11 years, [Rick] Perry, [Texas Governor] has presided over 238 executions, including the infamous case of Cameron Todd Willingham, who was put to death based on a dubious arson investigation. In a September debate, Perry famously said that he had lost no sleep over the possibility of an innocent man being executed on his watch.
Yet during his governorship, Texas has exonerated no fewer than 56 people. All had served years, sometimes decades, in prison; five were on death row …
Perry made those remarks during an extraordinary ceremony in which he handed down the first posthumous pardon in Texas history. Timothy Cole, imprisoned while a 26-year-old student at Texas Tech University, had been failed by the justice system at every turn. But what makes his story particularly gut-wrenching is that he perished in prison even as the real rapist, Jerry Johnson, tried repeatedly to confess to the crime…
The tale of Tim Cole and Jerry Johnson, which I investigated for more than a year, reveals a system in which an innocent man, once convicted, has virtually no chance of redemptioneven with the guilty man fighting for it. For the thousands of Americans spending years of their lives in prison for crimes they did not commit, the odds couldn't be much bleaker.

11-12-28 Obama's Birth Certificate: Flim Flam in the US District Court, Central District of California, and the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit // El fraude en los tribunales de EE.UU. // 美国法院的欺诈
US judges and clerks with no credentials issue unsigned, unauthenticated judicial records, which the US courts refuse to certify, but the public is deceived to believe are valid and effectual court records.
The United States has developed a fully blown simulated justice system.
Like the Great Depression before it, the current crisis in its core is an integrity crisis of the United States government, and like the Great Depression before it, the current crisis is not likely to be resolved, absent reform of the US courts.
Shell Game The Flim Flam Man
Following is correspondence among Ron Branson, Paul Andrew Mitchell, Gary Zerman, and Joseph Zernik regarding the recent “dismissal” of Birther Orly Taitz case at the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, challenging Obama’s credentials as President of the United States and Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces, on behalf of numerous US citizens and uniformed personnel.

I fully agree, and that is why they absolutely refuse to duly serve and notice any valid paper, and in particular, refuse to certify any record of the court.
See for example, an unrelated case: Log Cabin Republicans v USA et al in the US District Court, Central District of California, and the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit.

28 U.S.C. 1691 requires that ALL such Court "process" must exhibit the Court's official seal
and the Clerk's authorized signature:
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/28/1691.html

http://www.supremelaw.org/stat/62/28usc1691.case.law.htm
http://www.supremelaw.org/stat/62/28usc1691.case.law.2.htm
And, now that the "clerks" and "deputy clerks" have either failed
or refused to produce credentials, THERE ARE NO CLERKS
authorized to sign any such "process".
That also has the necessary result that such a "court" --
where no duly authorized "clerks" can be found with proper credentials --
is rendered totally impotent because it cannot issue any "process"!!!
This conclusion is supported by the law which expressly
designates the "court" as the legal custodian of the
APPOINTMENT AFFIDAVITS required by 5 U.S.C. 3331.
See 5 U.S.C. 2906:
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/5/2906.html
When such "clerks" refuse to produce credentials of which they
are the legal custodians designated as such by 2906 supra,
they render the entire court impotent, and also implicate themselves
in FELONY violation of 18 U.S.c. 1001 (for starters):

where no duly authorized "clerks" can be found with proper credentials --
is rendered totally impotent because it cannot issue any "process"!!!
This conclusion is supported by the law which expressly
designates the "court" as the legal custodian of the
APPOINTMENT AFFIDAVITS required by 5 U.S.C. 3331.
See 5 U.S.C. 2906:
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/5/2906.html
When such "clerks" refuse to produce credentials of which they
are the legal custodians designated as such by 2906 supra,
they render the entire court impotent, and also implicate themselves
in FELONY violation of 18 U.S.c. 1001 (for starters):

1) The "Dismissal" by the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit
"Confidence Trick", "Flim Flam", "Shell Game" - in the terminology of tricks and frauds, it is usually considered a short-term trick. You do it on the street corner, pack and leave. And here we have a person like you fooled for years by simulated orders of the courts ... [1] In fact, a whole nation fooled by a "simulated justice system" for a decade or two.
2) Obama's Birth Certificate
One of the aspects that I find most fascinating in this story, (and there are numerous fascinations here :) (:), is the fact that in my studies of Public Records, and I consider the deprivation of First Amendment right to access electronic records the mother/father (not to be sexist in such nasty context) of all evils, Birth, Marriage, Divorce, and Burial Records were among the first that emerged as Public Records in the late middle ages. Public access to Court Records has been also guaranteed in the Common Law for hundreds of years. Prisoners' Indices followed.
3) The Medieval Digital Era
The pattern we see today, of denial of public access to valid Court Records, Birth Records, and Booking Records, and the publication instead of patently fraudulent electronic records, is one of the hallmarks of what I call the Medieval-Digital Era.
In the Middle Ages the frauds in the courts and in lineages and family records were infamous, not to speak of anonymous, metal masked, castle-basement prisoners. It led to the provision in the Magna Carta (1215) of trial by peers... The "cornerstone of the Constitution of the United States".
It's 2012, and we must fight for the same rights again, to ensure public access to public records!

[1] "Simulated litigation", "simulated decisions", "simulated service" here refer to conduct defined in the Texas Criminal Code as follows:
Texas Penal Code 32.48. SIMULATING LEGAL PROCESS.
(a) A person commits an offense if the person recklessly causes to be delivered to another any document that simulates a summons, complaint, judgment, or other court process with the intent to:
(1) induce payment of a claim from another person; or
(2) cause another to:
(A) submit to the putative authority of the document; or
(B) take any action or refrain from taking any action in response to the document, in compliance with the document, or on the basis of the document.
(b) Proof that the document was mailed to any person with the intent that it be forwarded to the intended recipient is a sufficient showing that the document was delivered.
The practice is widespread in both the state and US courts at all levels.

Joseph, I just looked at my Order of Dismissal filed 12/8/2011, and not only does it not have a signature, it does not even have a printed name of a person or a position. The Oder only "signs off" with the printed word "AFFIRMED" with nothing after it. We are therefore called upon to "pretend" it is verified even though it does not state.
But is not "Affirmed" supposed to be equal to "Oath or Affirmation" according to the 4th Amendment, i.e., "no warrants shall issue but ... supported by oath or affirmation." No one can imagine an oath or affirmation signed by no one. We are asked in court, "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God?" Accordingly, maybe these words should be eliminated prior to taking the witness stand and testifying.

Hi Mr Branson:
I assume that as usual, you received an unsigned order, just like the order dismissing the challenge to Obama's qualifications..
Have you ever tried to ask the 9th Circuit for a certified copy of any of the orders in your cases before the Court?
I have tried, but never got any.
There is no way that I know of to explain the refusal of a court to provide certified copies of its own orders, unless the Court itself does not consider them valid court orders.
In that context, one should consider the data below, which I am asking those familiar with such papers to review and comment on.
In case you decide to ask the 9th Circuit for a certified copies of any decisions in your cases, I would be grateful if you email me PDFs of the requests, and the responses, if any.

Appeals court tosses Obama birthplace challenge
By PAUL ELIAS | AP 4 hrs ago
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The so-called birther movement was dealt another legal blow Thursday when a federal appeals court tossed out a lawsuit challenging President Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship and his eligibility to serve as commander in chief.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that none of the challengers had legal standing to file the lawsuit on Jan. 20, 2009, the day Obama was inaugurated. The three-judge panel cited various reasons for disqualifying six sets of plaintiffs, who included Obama's political rivals, taxpayers and military personnel.
The birther movement has filed multiple lawsuits over the issue, so far with no success. Its leaders have lost similar challenges before the U.S. Supreme Court and the California Supreme Court.
The U.S. Constitution says only "a natural born citizen" may serve as president. The challengers allege that Obama, whose father was Kenyan, was born in that African country, rather than the U.S. state of Hawaii. They claim his Hawaii birth certificate is a forgery.
The appeals court didn't address the authenticity of the birth certificate, instead ruling that the challengers couldn't show "concrete injury" from the allegations.
The taxpayers listed in the lawsuit, for instance, failed to show how the citizenship question affected any federal taxing and spending provisions.
The lawsuit was filed in 2009 by 40 plaintiffs, including conservative activists Alan Keyes and Wiley Drake, who ran for president and vice president respectively as members of the American Independent Party against Obama in 2008.
They alleged they had standing to file a lawsuit because of their interest in competing in a fair election. Libertarian Party vice-presidential candidate Gail Lightfoot was also a plaintiff.
Judge Harry Pregerson, writing for the three-judge panel, said Keyes and Drake waited too long to file their lawsuit. The election was over and Obama was already sworn in when the lawsuit was filed.
"Once the 2008 election was over and the President sworn in, Keyes, Drake, and Lightfoot were no longer 'candidates' for the 2008 general election," Pregerson wrote. "Plaintiffs' competitive interest in running against a qualified candidate had lapsed."
Orly Taitz, one of the challengers' lawyers, said she would ask the appeals court to convene a special 11-judge panel to reconsider the case. If she's turned down there, she said she would ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case.
Taitz said she has filed similar lawsuits in five states and has two other federal appeals pending in Washington, D.C.
