12-10-27 US as "Defendant" and/or "Involuntary Plaintiff" in a case against financial institutions.


Got the below by email (just like Obama's Birth Certificate records arrived by email... :) ).  But here, I provide the email that came with it - from Paul Mitchell (not a party to the case)

* For all I know so far, the papers could be from one of those funny state courts, where attorneys are permitted to issue summonses, not under seal of any court and with no signature of the clerk.
* As they are, the papers should be deemed at least suspect simulated legal records 
* The writing is interesting, regardless, as an act of Civil Disobedience and protest against corruption of government - the United States is listed a "Defendant" and/or "Involuntary Plaintiff", in a case, where people try to gain protection against corrupt financial institutions.

The case is a unique documentation of the essence of the "Robber Baron Revival Era" - financial institutions rob the people, the government refuses to provide equal protection, and it is all conducted under the color of law in corrupt US and state courts, with proliferation of electronic legal records of dubious or unknown validity.

12-10-26 Another inverse show trial in the making - Feds sue BofA

Likely to go to the infamous US Judge Jed Rakoff, to clear the criminals of any accountability...  Civil Fraud law suit, no individual named - the defrauded BofA shareholders are to blame... Even in Stalinist Russia they never staged show trials with such success.  The idea of inverse show trial - to exonerate mega criminals through simulated prosecution, is a unique American invention.
JZ



The federal government has filed another mortgage-fraud lawsuit against Bank of America, contending that defective loans generated by the bank's Countrywide Financial Corp. subsidiary caused mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to lose more than $1 billion. BofA used the Hustle system after acquiring Countrywide in 2008, according to the lawsuit, described as the Justice Department's first civil fraud suit over loans sold to Fannie and Freddie. The companies were seized by the government during the financial crisis in a bailout that has cost taxpayers $137 billion.

press releaseOct. 25, 2012, 2:09 p.m. EDTMajor Banks, Governmental Officials and
Their Comrade Capitalists Targets of Spire Law Group, LLP's Racketeering and Money
Laundering Lawsuit Seeking Return of $43 Trillion to the United States Treasury

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Spire Law Group, LLP's national
home owners' lawsuit, pending in the venue where the "Banksters" control their $43
trillion racketeering scheme (New York) - known as the largest money laundering and
racketeering lawsuit in United States History and identifying $43 trillion
($43,000,000,000,000.00) of laundered money by the "Banksters" and their U.S.
racketeering partners and joint venturers - now pinpoints the identities of the key
racketeering partners of the "Banksters" located in the highest offices of
government and acting for their own self-interests.

In connection with the federal lawsuit now impending in the United States District
Court in Brooklyn, New York (Case No. 12-cv-04269-JBW-RML) - involving, among other
things, a request that the District Court enjoin all mortgage foreclosures by the
Banksters nationwide, unless and until the entire $43 trillion is repaid to a
court-appointed receiver - Plaintiffs now establish the location of the $43 trillion
($43,000,000,000,000.00) of laundered money in a racketeering enterprise
participated in by the following individuals (without limitation): Attorney General
Holder acting in his individual capacity, Assistant Attorney General Tony West, the
brother in law of Defendant California Attorney General Kamala Harris (both acting
in their individual capacities), Jon Corzine (former New Jersey Governor), Robert
Rubin (former Treasury Secretary and Bankster), Timothy Geitner, Treasury Secretary
(acting in his individual capacity), Vikram Pandit (recently
 resigned and disgraced Chairman of the Board of Citigroup), Valerie Jarrett (a
Senior White House Advisor), Anita Dunn (a former "communications director" for the
Obama Administration), Robert Bauer (husband of Anita Dunn and Chief Legal Counsel
for the Obama Re-election Campaign), as well as the "Banksters" themselves, and
their affiliates and conduits. The lawsuit alleges serial violations of the United
States Patriot Act, the Policy of Embargo Against Iran and Countries Hostile to the
Foreign Policy of the United States, and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act (commonly known as the RICO statute) and other State and Federal
laws.

In the District Court lawsuit, Spire Law Group, LLP -- on behalf of home owners
across the Country and New York taxpayers, as well as under other taxpayer
recompense laws -- has expanded its mass tort action into federal court in Brooklyn,
New York, seeking to halt all foreclosures nationwide pending the return of the $43
trillion ($43,000,000,000.00) by the "Banksters" and their co-conspirators, seeking
an audit of the Fed and audits of all the "bailout programs" by an independent
receiver such as Neil Barofsky, former Inspector General of the TARP program who has
stated that none of the TARP money and other "bailout money" advanced from the
Treasury has ever been repaid despite protestations to the contrary by the
Defendants as well as similar protestations by President Obama and the Obama
Administration both publicly on national television and more privately to the United
States Congress. Because the Obama Administration has failed to pursue any of the
 "Banksters" criminally, and indeed is actively borrowing monies for Mr. Obama's
campaign from these same "Banksters" to finance its political aspirations, the
national group of plaintiff home owners has been forced to now expand its lawsuit
to include racketeering, money laundering and intentional violations of the Iranian
Nations Sanctions and Embargo Act by the national banks included among the
"Bankster" Defendants.

The complaint - which has now been fully served on thousands of the "Banksters and
their Co-Conspirators" - makes it irrefutable that the epicenter of this laundering
and racketeering enterprise has been and continues to be Wall Street and continues
to involve the very "Banksters" located there who have repeatedly asked in the past
to be "bailed out" and to be "bailed out" in the future.

The Havens for the money laundering schemes - and certain of the names and places of
these entities - are located in such venues as Switzerland, the Isle of Man,
Luxembourg, Malaysia, Cypress and entities controlled by governments adverse to the
interests of the United States Sanctions and Embargo Act against Iran, and are also
identified in both the United Nations and the U.S. Senate's recent reports on
international money laundering. Many of these entities have already been personally
served with summons and process of the complaint during the last six months. It is
now beyond dispute that, while the Obama Administration was publicly encouraging
loan modifications for home owners by "Banksters", it was privately ratifying the
formation of these shell companies in violation of the United States Patriot Act,
and State and Federal law. The case further alleges that through these obscure
foreign companies, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo Bank,
 Citibank, Citigroup, One West Bank, and numerous other federally chartered banks
stole trillions of dollars of home owners' and taxpayers' money during the last
decade and then laundered it through offshore companies.

This District Court Complaint - maintained by Spire Law Group, LLP -- is the only
lawsuit in the world listing as Defendants the Banksters, let alone serving all of
such Banksters with legal process and therefore forcing them to finally answer the
charges in court. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, nor the Office of the Attorney General, nor any State
Attorney General has sued the Banksters and thereby legally chased them worldwide to
recover-back the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) and other lawful damages,
injunctive relief and other legal remedies.

James N. Fiedler, Managing Partner of Spire Law Group, LLP, stated: "It is hard for
me to believe as a 47-year lawyer that our nation's guardians have been unwilling to
stop this theft. Spire Law Group, LLP stands for the elimination of corruption and
implementation of lawful strategies, and that is what we're doing here. Spire Law
Group, LLP's charter is to not allow such corruption to go unanswered."

Comments were requested from the Attorney Generals' offices in NY, CA, NV, NH , OH,
MA and the White House, but no comment was provided.

12-10-25 PRESS RELEASE – The case of self-immolated social protest activist Moshe Silman – Judge Hagai Brenner steps down


The evidence shows that the case as a whole was conducted as simulated litigation [Halichim LeMar'it A'in]. The original complaint was filed under a case number, which now the Tel Aviv District Court says never existed, and Judge Brenner affected dismissal of the original complaint and also dismissed an appeal from his own decision. Public access to court records in this case is yet to be gained.

Emacs!  []
Self-immolated social protest activist Moshe Silman.
           

Tel Aviv, October 25 – In response to Disqualification for a Cause, filed by Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), Judge Hagai Brenner stepped down from the case of Silman v Social Security Administration in the Tel Aviv District Court.
The August 30, 2012 notice, received from the Tel Aviv District Court says:
The Request is replete with baseless claims, stemming from lack of understanding by the Requester of the manner in which decisions are issued  in Net HaMishpat [the case management system of the Court-jz] and regarding work procedures in the Court. There is not a single valid reason in the Request, which could lead to real concern regarding bias. With it, given changes in the work schedule of the Court, the Request to Inspect and to Copy will be reviewed by the Honorable Magistrate. Therefore, the current Request is moot, and there is no need to address its contents.
It should be noted that the notice was served as an unsigned  "Post-it Decision", and was accompanied by an unsigned authentication record.
The Disqualification for a Cause noted evidence that the case as a whole was conducted as simulated litigation [Halichim LeMar'it A'in]: [2]
  • The original complaint was filed under a case number 13491/2008, which now the Tel Aviv District Court says never existed, and
  • Judge Brenner affected dismissal of the original complaint (in his hat of magistrate) and also dismissed an appeal from his own decision (in his hat of pro tem district judge).
The August 30, 2012 notice by Judge Hagai Brenner also demonstrates the failure of the courts of the State of Israel to establish valid and transparent judicial assignment and re-assignment procedures.
In the meanwhile, the Tel Aviv District Court continues to delay access to the court file records, and also continues to delay decision on a request for copies of decisions in the case, certified by the Clerk of the Court.
The case of the late Moshe Silman was submitted as part of the Human Rights Alert (NGO) report to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations, due for review in early 2013. [3]
The Human Rights Alert report is titled, "Integrity, or lack thereof, in the electronic records of the courts of the State of Israel", and subtitled, "A court which refuses to certify its own decisions, is certified corrupt".

Whistleblower who revealed CIA torture sentenced to prison

Former CIA agent John Kiriakou pleaded guilty Tuesday morning to crimes related to blowing the whistle on the US government’s torture of suspected terrorists and was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison.

The Back Story to Kiriakou's Imminent Guilty Plea

By Jesselyn Radack 

October 23, 2012 "
Daily Kos" -- A change of plea hearing is set for today at 11:00 am in the Espionage Act case against Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) whistleblower John Kiriakou.
Let's be clear, there is one reason, and one reason only, that John Kiriakou is taking this plea: for the certainty that he'll be out of jail in 2 1/2 years to see his five children grow up.
The government is prepared to drop 80% of its case, including all Espionage Act charges (sound familiar, ahem, Tom Drake?). Kiriakou is expected to plead guilty to violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act (IIPA)--there are no reported cases interpreting it because it's nearly impossible to prove--for "outing" a torturer. "Outing" is in quotes because the charge is not that Kiriakou's actions resulted in a public disclosure of the name, but that through a Kevin Bacon-style chain of causation, GITMO torture victims learned the name of one of their possible torturers. Regardless, how does outing a torturer hurt the national security of the U.S.? It's like arguing that outing a Nazi guarding a concentration camp would hurt the national security of Germany.
In the last couple of weeks, it became public that:
 
. . .  The CIA officer listed as "Officer A" in the John Kiriakou complaint has been revealed to be Thomas Donahue  Fletcher. Born in 1953. Fletcher is currently a resident of Vienna, VA. Further - source states journalists have known identity of this person prior to August 2008, when Kiriakou allegedly confirmed the identity in an email to Matthew Cole, formerly of ABC News. . . . Thomas Donahue Fletcher was the chief of the Headquarters Based Rendition Group and was personally responsible for the rendition of Abu Zubaydah (as well as other high-value detainees) to the CIA black site in Thailand and witnessed and played a role in Zubaydah's torture.
An effectively-forced plea from John Kiriakou will be the tragic bookend to the torture narrative: Kiriakou will be going to jail, while Fletcher happily enjoys retirement in Vienna VA, safe with protection from "the most transparent administration in history."
