There seems to be an increased interest in this letter from around the web.
Letter to District Attorney Risa Ferman
The DA ignored it completely. A clear demonstration of no protection of the law.
The judges neglected and failed to enforce my wife to comply with ANY court order. Usually where compliance would reveal her private telephone, the private investigator, the surveillance software company, provide medical benefits, permit me to see my children.
The alternative was aggressive enforcement of EVERY court order, where I proved the fraud of Angst & Angst each time. They would lie about statements on court orders and then attempt to enforce their fiction.
Their intrusive technology was detected and reported and recorded... BUT there was no way to end the terror. It still continues to affect my devices and those of my friends.
There were indications that the page had been hacked and was not being displayed. Hopefully I have corrected the issue.
The May 2009 letter had a wide distribution. I never imagined I would still be battling these idiots for the remainder of my life.

Cease & Desist - ABA undermines US Constitution
The Cease And Desist letter sent to the ABA is not a joke or prank or goof.
Once the Model Rules of Professional Conduct were enacted into law by a state supreme court, your constitutional rights were no longer available to you. You would not know this until you discovered they were unavailable... IGNORED... HUH? No lawyer or judge could help you. Friends would think you turned into a radical or went crazy. Unaffected people would not believe it could happen.
Everyone has Constitutional Rights up until they don't. And then, there's nothing you can do about it. No where to turn. No politicians to help. The lawyers are mandated to ignore you. The non-lawyers ask their lawyers what it's all about... and are misinformed into ignoring you.
Deliberately rolled out from 1984 through 2009. (ABA Site)
IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING EVIL... DO IT INSIDE SOMETHING BORING.
One Law - Rule 1.6 referred to by cross reference in comments throughout the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Laws which applied only to lawyers but could leave a litigant without their constitutional rights. The mandate for Confidentiality of Information IS the needle in a haystack of injustice and corruption nationwide.
The question remains... What motivated each state supreme court to do this?
Why make a change where the only actual effect is
- to prevent the ability to prosecute a judge for judicial corruption and injustice
AND
- to deny and prevent constitutional rights to litigants who were victims of judicial corruption and injustice in the court.
No Legislature. No Governor.
No Reason to make the change from code to LAW. Except, the Silence of the lawyers was no longer discretionary. It was a lawful mandate. An aggressively enforced MANDATE of silence.
The lawful mandate was unconstitutional to the victim denied and prevented from any explanation for the injustice.
The victim is left without any recourse. The local state Rules are used in Federal District and Appeals courts.
The ABA has undermined the US Constitution.... and concealed it for years while their members were paid to perform a task which they were prevented by law from ever accomplishing.
The Judiciary in whom the public placed their trust and granted judicial immunity has allowed their independence to be undermined and their integrity to be sacrificed and their authority to be silenced.

This Week's Correspondence
Don't say you were not informed. Where Republicans are continuing to block the web site, that doesn't seem very productive. There's quite a bit of information they are ignoring.
You would have to wonder how they expect someone made homeless and destitute would be able to write, respond, and send hundreds of letters, emails, faxes and tweets and all that litigation paperwork.
Annihilate the target. They failed at obtaining my suicide... EPIC FAILURE.

Governors Updated and Informed
The Governors of the United States have received a letter updating them on the effort and asking for their assistance where their Attorneys General were not permitted to default in the Constitutional Challenge of Rule 1.6.
Many Governors are NOT lawyers obligated to follow Rule 1.6. As such, they are not involved in the conspiracy to prevent this issue from being presented.
The NON-LAWYER Governors have the power to lawfully address the situation and take immediate action in their state.
Governor Robert Bentley of Alabama
Governor Lolo Letalu Matalasi Moliga
Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona
Governor John Hickenlooper of Colorado
Governor Jack Markell of Delaware
Governor Eddie Baza Calvo of Guam
Governor Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii
Governor C.L. Butch Otter of Idaho
Governor Terry Branstad of Iowa
Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana
Governor Paul LePage of Maine
Governor Martin O'Malley of Maryland
Governor Mark Dayton of Minnesota
Governor Phil Bryant of Mississippi
Governor Dave Heineman of Nebraska

Governor Eloy Inos of Northern Mariana Islands
Governor John Kasich of Ohio
Governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma
Governor John Kitzhaber of Oregon

Governor Bill Haslam of Tennessee
Governor Rick Perry of Texas
Governor Gary Herbert of Utah
Governor Peter Shumlin of Vermont
Governor John deJongh, Jr of the US Virgin Islands
Governor Earl Ray Tomblin of West Virginia
Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin
The following Governors are lawyers OBLIGATED under Rule 1.6 to ignore the Constitutional Rights of citizens while ignoring judicial corruption, crimes and misconduct, and the failure to prosecute crimes of the judiciary and of the legal professionals who might implicate the judiciary.
Governor Sean Parnell of Alaska (Puget Sound School of Law)
Governor Mike Beebe of Arkansas (University of Arkansas)

Governor Denis Daugaard of South Dakota (Northwestern University)
Governor Terry McAuliffe of Virginia (Georgetown Law School)
Governor Jay Inslee of Washington (Willamette University)
Governor Matt Mead of Wyoming (University of Wyoming)
Having a lawyer for a governor places a state under the control of the American Bar Association's Rule 1.6 with all branches of the state government - executive, legislative and judiciary - under the mandate of Rule 1.6 - Confidentiality of Information.
It makes the unconstitutionality of the rule IMPOSSIBLE to lawfully address.
It makes judicial crimes and corruption ILLEGAL to lawfully address. PREVENTING THOSE WHO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO IT AND HAVE TAKEN AN OATH TO THAT EFFECT.

It makes judicial crimes and corruption ILLEGAL to lawfully address. PREVENTING THOSE WHO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO IT AND HAVE TAKEN AN OATH TO THAT EFFECT.

Rule 1.6 Rollout and the rise in Judicial Complaints
The graph demonstrates the dramatic increase in judicial complaints as Rule 1.6 was enacted in each state. Most complaints are dismissed without review or investigation.
Ronald Reagan Years (enacted in 30 states/jurisdictions)
1984 - New Jersey, Arizona
1985 - Minnesota, Montana, Washington, Missouri, Delaware, North Carolina, Arkansas
1986 - New Hampshire, Nevada, Maryland, Connecticut, New Mexico, Florida, Idaho, Wyoming, Indiana, Louisiana
1987 - Mississippi, Utah, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, South Dakota
1988 - Kansas, Oklahoma, Michigan, West Virginia, Rhode Island
George H.W. Bush Years (enacted in 8 states/jurisdictions)
1989 - Kentucky, Texas

2006 - Ohio

2008 - New York
Barack Obama Years (Enacted in 1 state/jurisdiction)
2009 - Maine
* It is within the realm of possibility that the involvement of the US Supreme Court in the Presidential Election was leveraged using Rule 1.6. The US Supreme Court could have been instructed to give the election to George W. Bush, or face charges of sedition and treason based on Rule 1.6.
That sedition would demonstrate how Rule 1.6 undermined the judiciary in every state which had enacted Rule 1.6. The revelation that the United States Courts had undermined the constitutionally protected rights of the people AND IGNORED THE INJUSTICE could cause civil unrest throughout the country.
The US Supreme Court caves to the pressure giving George W. Bush the presidency. Al Gore quietly accepts their ruling for the sake of the entire country. Tennessee is the next state to enact Rule 1.6 into law - this would mandate Al Gore's silence.
The Foreclosure Crisis in the US which became a national issue during the Bush years is demonstrative of Rule 1.6 undermining the rights of the people by the Courts with the mandate of confidentiality of lawyers and judges assured by the law.

False Allegations... JUSTICE IS COMING
CONCERNING DISNEY's ONCE UPON A TIME:
FALSE ALLEGATIONS TO POLICE is an all too common occurrence. The victim of the false allegation suffers while the LIAR gets away with it. Had Hook hurt Emma there would have been a PSA.
Emma committing the crime of falsely accusing Hook being accepted as a goof or a prank only encourages THIS CRIME AGAINST MEN.
This action did not occur in the fictional town of Storybrooke or any of the other 'realms' where the show takes place. It happened in 'the real world' in New York. It involved New York Police arresting a man, keeping him overnight, and releasing him when the charges were dropped. The police got played. This is not activity which should be encouraged, endorsed or accepted.
The good guy gets hurt and the damage is ignored. False allegations to police destroy lives. Emma is the hero of the show - "The Savior". Resorting to illegal dirty tricks are not the traditional qualities of a hero. Also, Emma never even apologized before she reconnected with the victim and drove off to Storybrooke. Emma knew she was in the real world because she referred to her victim as Killian, and not Hook.
If you think it is a small matter you have no idea how terroristic divorce has become. Take it from the victim of A TERRORISTIC DIVORCE, you have no idea what goes on once you head down the rabbit hole of the American Judicial system. Eight years of injustice left me homeless and destitute with no future while under constant litigation.
It lead to a constitutional challenge which exposes why the US Constitution has been ignored since the late 1980's.
Once Upon A Time has been advertising that WICKED IS COMING. Maybe that's right in Storybrooke, but in 'the real world'...
The Constitutional Challenge of Rule 1.6 is currently in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia...

Kids for Cash
Kids for Cash happened because Rule 1.6 of the Rules of Professional Conduct prevented lawful action. With all of the injustice, there is one thing which it seems no one bothered to do. Point to the cause and present a solution. The Constitutional Challenge to Rule 1.6 is the solution which ends lawful injustice.
The story behind Rule 1.6 is more frightening... it was deliberate. it was intentional. It was executed by the American Bar Association.
When you consider the holocaust, people often indicate the world learned important lessons. It seems the American Bar Association learned how to do it better - pulling this off under the noses of 300 million Americans and enacting a law in every US State - - severe punishment to any lawyer who revealed it.
When thirteen-year-old Matthew appeared in front of Judge Mark Ciavarella for throwing a piece of steak at his mother’s boyfriend, he was sentenced to seven weeks at PA Child Care, a private, for-profit juvenile detention center in northeastern Pennsylvania. Angelia was fourteen when she and a friend scrawled “Vote for Michael Jackson” on five stop signs. Charged with vandalism and defacing public property, Angelia was sent by Ciavarella to PA Child Care without her epilepsy medication and suffered a grand mal seizure her second night. Fifteen-year-old Charlie, arrested for unknowingly purchasing a stolen motorbike, was convicted of a felony and sent to PA Child Care for six weeks.
Matthew, Angelia, and Charlie are just three children among the thousands who appeared in Ciavarella’s courtroom between 2003 and 2008 and were sent away—often with no attorney present and after only cursory hearings—to a detention facility in which, it later came to light, Ciavarella had a personal financial stake. As Kids for Cash reveals, this miscarriage of justice underscores a multitude of problems with our juvenile justice system, which too often criminalizes standard adolescent behavior, treats adolescents more harshly than if they were adults, and denies them their most fundamental constitutional rights.
William Ecenbarger, a Pulitzer Prize and George Polk Award–winning investigative journalist who covered the case for the Philadelphia Inquirer, now gives us the first book-length account of this shocking story. In the tradition of true-crime legal thrillers from The Executioner’s Song to A Civil Action, Ecenbarger exposes a deeply corrupt and broken system that ruined the lives of many children and ultimately led to the judge’s conviction on charges of racketeering, fraud, tax violations, money laundering, extortion, and bribery. Fastidiously researched and utterly propulsive, Kids for Cash takes us deep inside a profoundly flawed legal system, revealing the twisted and haunting realities of America’s juvenile justice system.
Review
"A harrowing tale, lucidly told by a journalist with a good eye for detail. . . . [Kids for Cash reveals] the deep gap between cherished ideals and harsh reality in a country addicted to incarceration." —The New York Times Book Review
"The story is incredible: Thousands of children wrongfully sentenced to juvenile detention centers, many without legal representation and after cursory hearings, by two rogue judges in northern Pennsylvania who received millions of dollars in bribes from the private institutions’ owners. . . . William Ecenbarger, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, has brought this stunning story to book form in a deeply researched, compelling tale." —The Boston Globe
"The worst stain (so far) on Pennsylvania, a state with more than its share of stains, is that of the Luzerne County judges who sent thousands of children to private prisons in exchange for millions of dollars in kickbacks. . . . Bill Ecenbarger offers a detail-packed, sickening account of the scandal and its impact. Anyone caring about courts, justice or children should read it." —The Philadelphia Inquirer
"If only this were fiction. William Ecenbarger deserves our gratitude for shining the brightest of spotlights on a tragic, scandalous situation that brought pain and devastation to the lives of countless children and their families. Kids for Cash demands the attention of everyone who cares about justice." —Bob Herbert, Distinguished Senior Fellow at Demos and former New York Times Op-Ed columnist
"A chilling account of how two Pennsylvania judges traded children's freedom for personal profit while the rest of the Commonwealth looked the other way. Parents will tuck their children in a bit tighter after reading this true-crime heart-stopper." —Nell Bernstein, award-winning journalist and author of All Alone in the World: Children of the Incarcerated
"William Ecenbarger exposes Pennsylvania’s recent juvenile justice disgrace wherein thousands of youth were illegally sentenced to a private detention facility in exchange for millions in kickbacks for the judges who sentenced them. His heartfelt, articulate outrage raises disturbing and critical questions about the destructive power of greed in our criminal justice system, and the legal and social systems that support it through silent acquiescence."—Tara Herivel, attorney, author and co-editor of Prison Profiteers: Who Makes Money from Mass Incarceration and Prison Nation: The Warehousing of America's Poor
"A gripping and inspirational 'must read' for anyone concerned about the health and well-being of children." —Liz Ryan, President and CEO of Campaign for Youth Justice
"A gripping story of judicial incompetence, a system that ignored it, and the thousands of kids scarred for life—a story that begs for juvenile justice reform across America." —Steven C. Teske, Chief Judge, Juvenile Court of Clayton County, GA, author of Reform Juvenile Justice Now
"An unimaginable story of abuse, greed, and corruption that also reveals the broader problems with our society's failure to protect some of its most vulnerable, powerless, and at-risk members—a critically important book." —Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, New York University Professor of Clinical Law
"This exposé of judicial indiscretion, greed, and money laundering reads like a thriller. The setting is the Luzerne County, PA, juvenile court system between 2003 and 2008, when two judges mishandled the criminal cases of thousands of children. After presenting a rather unflattering history of the region, citing a ‘culture of corruption,’ Pulitzer Prize—winning journalist [William] Ecenbarger describes the background and criminal activities that form the heart of the case. The book is based on 200 interviews and reflects the author’s insider knowledge of the scandal, which he covered for the Philadelphia Enquirer. . . . A solid, shocking work of investigative journalism, recommended for civic-minded general readers and students of juvenile justice issues."

"The invasion of privacy has gone too far" - Former President Jimmy Carter.
Oh, President Carter you have no idea of the damage they have done. Not just in the surveillance, but in the efforts to prevent their unconstitutional and unconscionable actions from being exposed.
I've had a few chances to speak with Former President Carter in the past. He was always a friendly and sincere man. No matter where the encounter took place Jimmy Carter was personal and genuine. Whether at Independence Hall in Philadelphia or an early morning in Chicago's O'Hare Airport, he was just himself.
A truly respectable quality. A truly respectable leader.
And in an age of political slander and dirty tricks, I am reminded of what was done to President Carter on his last day in office. They negotiated with terrorists in an attempt to humiliate the man. They failed.
You can never take away the quality of character demonstrated by President Carter. They only demonstrated how low they would venture using innocent people as political tools.

And in an age of political slander and dirty tricks, I am reminded of what was done to President Carter on his last day in office. They negotiated with terrorists in an attempt to humiliate the man. They failed.
You can never take away the quality of character demonstrated by President Carter. They only demonstrated how low they would venture using innocent people as political tools.

| NSA affair: Ex-President Carter Condemns U.S. Snooping By Gregor Peter Schmitz, from Atlanta 17.07.2013 – 13:59 Uhr Ex-President Carter: "The invasion of privacy has gone too far" The Obama administration has tried to placate Europe's anger over their spying programs. Not so ex-President Jimmy Carter: The Democrat Carter sharply criticized U.S. intelligence policy. The disclosure by the whistleblower Snowden was "useful." Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter was in the wake of the NSA spying scandal criticized the American political system. "America has no functioning democracy," Carter said Tuesday at a meeting of the "Atlantic Bridge" in Atlanta. Previously, the Democrat had been very critical of the practices of U.S. intelligence. "I think the invasion of privacy has gone too far," Carter told CNN. "And I think that is why the secrecy was excessive." With regard to the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, Carter said his revelations were "likely to be useful because they have informed the public." Carter has repeatedly warned that the moral authority of the United States has declined sharply due to excessive curtailment of civil rights. Last year he wrote in an article in the "New York Times" that new U.S. laws have allowed "never before seen breaches of our privacy by the government." |

MAGLOCLEN - How the Gov't shares that surveillance data.
Agency best kept secret in law enforcement
Shrouded in anonymity, a crime-fighting government agency has had its headquarters in Newtown Township for nearly 20 years.
By LAURIE MASON
Prosecutors in Michigan and Kentucky know about it. So do police officers from Canada, New York and Ohio.
Detectives from more than 700 law enforcement agencies from all over the Northeastern United States journey to Newtown Township to use it every day. Its employees have helped solve some of the highest profile crimes of the past two decades.
Yet MAGLOCLEN gets none of the credit.
And that's just the way the agency, located in a nondescript brown building in the far, far back corner of an industrial park off Newtown-Yardley Road, likes it.
MAGLOCLEN stands for Mid Atlantic-Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network, a little-known arm of the federal government. It has quietly played a part in some of the most infamous crime investigations in recent memory.
The agency's walls are lined with photos, charts and graphs used at the trials of convicted killers. They include millionaire eccentric John DuPont, who murdered Olympic wrestler Dave Shultz on his estate in Delaware County, and Arthur Bomar, who raped and murdered co-ed Amy Willard during a carjacking on the Blue Route in 1997.
Reports detailing the inner workings of Jamaican and Russian organized crime sects, as well as the latest statistics on prison gangs and satanic cults, lay in neat piles on countertops.
In super cool, air-conditioned laboratories, 6-foot tall computers - including a database stuffed with the names of the most-wanted criminals in the United Sates and beyond - beep and whir behind locked glass doors. In every office, tall dividers block desks from view as hushed voices discuss unsolved crimes.
A massive conference room can be glimpsed from the hallway. It contains hundreds of chairs ready for one of the 60 training sessions that MAGLOCLEN hosts for police officers each year. Topics covered at these member-only conferences include computer forensics, money laundering, and the proper use of surveillance devices.
Visitors from the media are rare - and most rooms are off-limits. The agency's written reports, with tantalizing titles such as "Domestic Threat Groups" and "Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs" are not public record and therefore not furnished to reporters.
MAGLOCLEN's secrets are shared only with law enforcement officers from the agency's list of members, which include the Bucks County District Attorney's Office and most local police departments.
MAGLOCLEN holds no press conferences and will not answer questions from the general public. It is there solely to serve its members, says spokesman James Gallagher, the agency's first deputy executive director.
"We like to keep a low profile. It's our member agencies who do all the work, so they deserve all the credit when a crime is solved. We're just a service agency," he said.
One of six in nation
Founded in 1981, MAGLOCLEN is one of six government-funded Regional Information Sharing System agencies that share a $20 million annual budget. Eight states - Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Maryland, Michigan and Indiana - as well as the District of Columbia and two Canadian provinces, are served by MAGLOCLEN.
There are five other regional RISS offices throughout the nation.
RISS began in 1974, following a crime wave by a group called the Dixie Mafia, Gallagher explained. The gang, a band of Southern-bred armed robbers, was terrorizing victims in several states. Unable to catch the robbers on their own, a group of law enforcement officers from different agencies took the unprecedented step of sitting down together to share clues.
"That wasn't really done back then, and to some extent is not done today. It was and still is a very parochial business." Gallagher said.
But the Southern cops' efforts paid off, and the Dixie Mafia was shut down. Soon after, Congress mandated that an information-sharing network be created and RISS was born.
Newtown Township was chosen as the MAGLOCLEN site because of its close proximity to I-95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, as well as its centralized location between New York City and Washington, D.C.
The agency's executives are former law enforcement officers, and the FBI and the U.S. military trains much of the staff. Security is nearly as tight as the Pentagon, and staff applicants must pass a battery of background checks.
"It's quite extensive," Gallagher said of the checks. "We go way back into their lives."
HELPING LOCAL POLICE
MAGLOCLEN employees assist law enforcement agencies nationwide.
Much of MAGLOCLEN's services are handled by phone and computer. Members from all over the nation call the office daily seeking information on suspects and crime trends. Information and updates also are sent out over an Intranet, a secure e-mail system shared exclusively by member government agencies.
MAGLOCLEN agents also hit the road each week, assisting at crime scenes or gathering information to share with members.
The agency's work can be seen every day in Bucks County courtrooms. Aerial shots of crime scenes and accident reconstruction sketches are refined and drawn to scale at MAGLOCLEN, then made into huge posters. The posters, photo montages of suspects and hierarchical charts that organize drug gangs from the kingpin on down, are designed to make evidence more easily digestible to jurors.
"You can have a wealth of evidence, but it's of no use if the jury doesn't understand it. That's where photos and charts come in handy," said Steve Tori, MAGLOCLEN's analytical staff supervisor.
But by far the most requested service of MAGLOCLEN staff is help with computer crimes, Gallagher said.
"There's been a great surge in these crimes over the last decade," said Gallagher, "but our staff has been able to keep up. It's a very technical and legally complicated issue."
So complicated that the slightest mistake can ruin a case.
In a child pornography investigation, for example, police must be careful to make a mirror image of the computer hard drive and not touch the actual information because it is evidence.
Since a computer can't be cross-examined, prosecutors come to MAGLOCLEN to learn the legally correct way to glean information from the machines. One wrong move, Gallagher explained, and a computer case could be thrown out of court.
MAGLOCLEN staffers also teach technical nuances, like the proper way to seize a suspect's computer.
"We once had a case where the officers picked up the machine and carried it out the door, not knowing that there were magnets lining the doorway. All the information was erased," Gallagher said.
MAGLOCLEN employees won't discuss specifics of local cases they've helped solve, but Gallagher said the agency has been involved in many high-profile Bucks County cases. Staying out of the limelight helps its staff do the job better, he explained.
"We don't want the headlines. In fact, we try to stay out of them," Gallagher said. "We do our best work behind the scenes."
