Wikileaks: Release
Assange and Manning HA-31-1-12
As of January 30, 2012 WikiLeaks website reports that the organization has
undergone 423 days of banking
blockade - no process; Julian Assange has been subjected to 420 days detainment no charge. Bradley Manning had been subjected to 617 days incarceration in a U.S. military prison - no brief. I was first asked to take the case of
Julian Assange in December 2010 around the time Interpol issued a warrant for
his arrest and released him on bail a week later. I declined to take the case at the time
because he was not actually in prison and I felt my actions were more likely to
jeopardize his life than help his case.
In 2011 An Open Letter from the
Members of the European Parliament expressed concern for the human rights
of Bradley Manning. U.S. Congress
responded by abolishing the death penalty in espionage and censorship statute
that now provides victim compensation at 18USC(I)(37)§793(h)(4) and 18USC(I)(37)§794(d)(4). When I was reminded of Bradley Manning’s
unlawful detention in November 2011 by the courageous work of Deb Van Poolen
who sponsored a candlelight vigil with a coalition of advocacy organizations
before going to Washington D.C. on hunger strike for Bradley Manning, in the
New Year, I resolved to cover Wikileaks, as one of two cases for “Jail January”
2012. The Supreme Court of Sweden
quickly moved for a February 2012 ruling on Julian Assange. Charges against Bradley Manning must be
dismissed under Rule 907 of the Manual for Courts Martial. Mercy, No
further action need be taken to investigate or prosecute the European arrest
warrant of Julian Assange under Chapter 11 Article 13(2) of the Constitution of Sweden. N.A.T.O. may pay victim compensation for
the Collateral Murder Video released 5 April 2010
Medford
6 and Bend 8: Trespassing on a Conflict of Interest HA-11-1-12
I ran the Medford Marathon, around 17 miles, in
two-and-a-half hours from 8:30-11:00 am, to the Occupy rally on Jan. 5th at
1:30 pm at Medford City Hall in support of the "Medford 6" and “Bend
8” who had been arrested and fined $1,000 for trespassing in the offices of
Republican U.S. Representative Greg Walden in Medford, Bend and a third
location where they weren’t arrested in the second district of Oregon on Dec.
5, 2011. All
told, the Medford 6 pled no contest and each paid a $150 fine to Medford Muni. The
betrayal of the People by the Progressive Democrats to the 8% approval ratings
of Congress enabled Republican Majority Leader Rep. Boehner (OH) to pass a $10
billion, 2 month extension of the 2% OASI tax Middle Class Tax Relief Act
(MCRTRA) of December 2011. Not enough to
cause net loss of employment like the $90 billion MCTRA of 2010. This economic damage to the Happy New Year is
more than offset by the deficiency judgment in TARP Winter Shelter Closeout.
The federal government has two weeks to repeal this bill. Occupy is a revolution of
the 99% against the 1%. The past 30
years under the tyranny of the Baby Boomers’ majority experiment with birth
control has been non-supportive. Elders
are led astray, homeless rights advocates leave town. In general,
Occupy Baby Boomers, as Elders, the natural born leaders of any organic
leaderless grassroots movement, need to be reminded of the lobbying
restrictions on former officers, employees, and elected officials. The day of
the trial of the Medford 6, James “Jimmy” Georgeson (20) was shot and killed by Federal
Marshalls on Jan. 5, 2012.
Jackson County may impose a $250,000 fine on the Oregon Federal
Marshalls to better protect the Rogue Valley against the Use of the
Interstate Commercial Facility in the Commission
of Murder for Hire. However the Jackson
County Clerk Chris Walker and Sheriff Winters face federal investigation under
bribery of public official and witness statute.
The international rate of compensation for families of civilian death
casualties of military operations run from $2,500-$10,000.

6 Judicial Delinquency (JD)
To amend Chapter 6 Freemen’s
Hospital §261-270.
Freeman’s Hospital and Asylum cared for freed slaves in the Washington
DC area during the civil war era. In
2005 a record 7 million people, one in every 32 Americans, were in prison or
jail, an increase of 2.7% over the previous year. In 2009 the state prison population declined
for the first time since 1973.
Reductions in the prison population is a priority for the U.S., lawyers
and judicial officers must focus on achieving this monumental task and cease
corrupting political and commercial power with their negligence. The prison population quintupled from 503,586
in 1980 (220 per 100,000) to 2,085,620 in 2004 (707 per 100,000). The U.S. has the most and densest
concentration of prisoners in the world comprising 24% of the 9 million global
prisoners, more than Russia, the runner up, and more than China. For the U.S. to achieve the legal limit of
250 detainees per 100,000 the total number of local jails and state and federal
prison beds must be limited to less than 740,000. One million is a good goal. Nearly 650,000 people are released from
prison to communities each year. Each
year the nation’s 3,200 jails release an excess of 10 million, 3% of the
population back into the community.
Nearly two thirds of released State prisoners are expected to
re-arrested for a felony or a serious misdemeanor within three years. In 2005 7% of all prisoners were women, the
number of women prisoners increased 2.6% while male prisoners rose 1.9%. Racial disparities among prisoners persist,
particularly in the 25-29 age group, 8.1% of black men, about one in 13, were
behind bars, compared with 2.6% of Hispanic men and 1.1% of white men. To
enforce a legal limit of 250 prisoners per 100,000 residents, create an SSI
financed halfway house system of renters to achieve the legal limit over 10
years at a cost of $1.3 billion (2012) or up to 7.7% of SSI program costs, to
transfer the entire federal Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) and other
extra-jurisdictional judicial financing to community corrections programs, to
purchase 59,000 halfway houses from foreclosure auctions over 10 years, retrain
207,090 trained, full-time parole and probation officers and social workers…856
