Nov 19 2004 From: Terry Henry (NEXTIS3100{at}aol.com): Just a little over 4 years ago I went to my first pagans day pride festival at Lafayette Indiana, it was at the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds. I seen some people there that I work with. When I went back to work, I seen them and we started talking about pagans, one of the supervisors came walking by and heard us talking about it. The same supervisor is all so on the Attica water works town board. Okay, a few days later the police start following me around. Not long after that I lost my job. I took the place I worked to unemployment court, the judge said they had know [sic] reason to fire me. The job I really don't care about. Everything that I am about to tell you I do care about.

My son was out in the front yard playing, my son came running inside crying, I asked him what happened, he just said, “that man pulled his gun on me“. I went running outside to see what he was talking about, I witnessedpolice officer Darnel out in front of my house. I went over to him and asked what happened and officer Darnel told me he pulled his gun on my son. As soon as he said that he took off. I went to the Mayor about this and He just smiled and said he would look into it. Nothing was done about it. The next day I when to the store to get food, I keep hearing some of the people saying there goes that pagan thing and I looked around to see who it has. I did not even know these people, but I did see Joe Harrison standing there with them. About a week after that police officer French came to my house and told me he is taking my cars, I told him he needs a warrant to take my cars and he put his hand on his gun and said I don't need a warrant. So I stepped back and let them take my cars. I called the Indiana State Attorney General about this and he told me he doesn't deal with stuff like that.I had opened up a computer fix-it shop and a little pagan shop.

The same day that I opened up my pagan shop I was told to close it. After seeing everything that has been going on I did not fight it and I closed my pagan shop right away.

I saved up just enough money to put a down payment on a car. My kids and I where driving through town on are way home and the police saw us and pulled me over. I asked them why? I did not do anything wrong. The police officer looked at me and said you don't have a drivers license any more. I looked at him and said your joking. He was not joking. My children witnessed me being put in a police car while the police look through the trunk of my car and in the glove compartment. My children and I ended up walking home. I called the State drivers license branch and they told me I have had my drivers license taken away. I needed about $1,000 to get it back.

I started selling stuff on E-bay. There were not to many people coming into my computer shop anymore.
There is also another consideration.

I need to take you back to about 5 years ago, when I was still married. My wife and I made a sex video tape of us and some other people in the bed room. Not long after that she ran off leaving my children and I. The only thing that she took with her is that video tape. We got a divorce and I got full custody of my children. About 1 month after we got divorced she came up to my children and I and in front of my kids she told me if I do not give her money she will show my kids that video tape and to anyone else who wanted to see it. So I paid her and she keep coming back wanting more money. I knew I could not keep paying Her, so about one year ago I made a tape recording of her blackmailing me and I made a copy of the tape recording and took it to the Indiana Fountain County Sheriff. His name is Bobby Bass. I told him what was going on. He said he wouldn’t do anything about it. I then wrote to the Indiana State Senator Joe Harrison about the blackmail and my ex-wife giving my children beer and cigarettes and some of the things that she is saying to them. He writes me back saying that he doesn't enforce the laws he just makes them. I then wrote to the Indiana Governor about all of this. I received a letter back from the Indiana Superintendent of the State police,( his name is Melvin J. Carraway), which reads” This is about your recent letter to Governor Joseph Kernan, he says that the local police are in the best position to deal with situations like these.

About 6 months ago my ex-wife decides she wants her children. She takes me to court for custody. Well, by now I have no money left for a lawyer. My children wanted to talk to the judge, (his name is Robert M. Hall) but the judge didn‘t want to listen to them. I tired to give him the tape recording of my ex-wife blackmailing me and he just looked at me and smiled.

My children tell me they are being abused. I heard they’re mom tell Daniel he is why we got a Divorce and I heard her tell my kids they will never amount to anything They being exposed to drugs and alcohol. I called the local office of Family and Children about this and all that they can say to me is,” Yes we know about the situation”. So I wrote to the Indiana State Director of Family and Children. He wrote me back saying, “That he is confident the local office of Family and Children will respond“. I wrote the Senator another letter telling him about all of This and he writes me back this time saying” I’m not sure what letter you are referring to“. Not one of them will do they’re job.

One year ago my oldest son Johnathan was stabbed. Some little 12 year old kids ran up and stabbed him. I took him to the local hospital, but they didn’t want to treat him,they were just going to let him die. The doctor looked at the police officer standing there and said it is not that bad. I got Johnathan out of there and took him where no one new that I was Pagan. The hospital took Johnathan right into surgery. He was in surgery for hours, I stayed in the hospital with Johnathan for a week. The kid who stabbed Johnathan got a lawyer and tried to get out of it. My ex-wife then used that same lawyer to get custody. By the way the kid who tried to kill my son was not charged with any crime. I can prove everything. I have the tape recording of my ex-wife blackmailing me, I have the letters from the Senator, Governor, the head of the state police and the head of family and children. Not to many people will stand up and say anything. There are some that will stand up and tell about my cars being taken away and about being told to close my pagan shop.

This is Senator Joe Harrison's home town, he comes into town about 2 or 3 times a month and he is not only the Senator but he is also the Senate Majority Leader. He comes into this town because there is the Harrison Steel Casting Co. and Harrison Hills Golf & Country Club. He owns most of this town, in this county and this state what ever he says goes.

Right now the prosecutor is telling people that she smelled pot on me. My kids even heard this. I do not smoke pot. I do not do drugs. I will take a drug test willingly as long as it is in another State. I’m afraid to be tested in this state for fear of being “set up”. I’m cut off from going anywhere, I have no money and I can't drive anywhere. Its a small Town, there is only about 3,500 people in this town. I can't get any help for my children. I’m scared I’m going to be set up or killed. Please help my children.

Sincerely

Terry Henry

Oct 12 2003 From: trishie (trishie{at}atlantic.net): For your administrator:

As you say you are the Freedom activist network and are an activist in the right to own property you should know that the right to own certin [sic] legal property has changed.

Several months ago Directv satellite company mailed 100,000 letters to Americans demanding under threat of lawsuit they turn over there legally owned private property. The property they owned was smart card technology used in the programming of smart cards. They also demanded under threat of being fined $100,000.00 or being civilly sued that $3500 be handed over.

They felt they could make this demand because they presented a hypothetical situation that because they owned this legal technology, they must have stolen there [sic] satellite signal. They have publically stated they have no evidence to that effect however. So what it boils down to is that they demand the legally owned private property be turned over to this private company or else.

Now this is clearly a departure from the past where people were permitted to own legal private property free of threats and demands from private persons comendeering [sic] there property through use of threat. I say change because the US congress has been asked to protect this right and has said the right to own property is a legal dispute. The US attornies [sic] office, Department of justice have all taken a position of non-protection of this right.

Tens of thousands have been forced to turn over there [sic] programmers, boot loaders, and such to Directv now. For those who have not they are being sued in federal court. There are currently 11000 suits in the federal court system at this time. Because they didn't turn over the property to directv has brought rise to the suits. The suits demand damages for the hypothetical theft of signal because of the device owned. The suit also demands the private property be given to directv.

The devices in question have many uses for many different things. The devices are sold at Target, they come installed on Dell computers, and can be purchased in most electronic and computer stores.

As you can see the landscape has changed. If a private company thinks you have done something illegal to them, even though they cannot prove it, they can now demand your private property. If you don't turn it over the suit will cost thousands to try to keep your property. It is easier and less expensive to give it up.

FAN: Interesting intellectual property rights vs. real property rights issue. Hypothetically, if equipment is used in the commission of a crime, it could be considered contraband, and judges have been unwilling to protect any property right to own contraband. This issue is akin to radar detectors and clean drug paraphrenalia in that sometimes it is difficult if not impossible to prove they have been used for illegal purposes. However, this is a civil case, and to legally lose ownership of the equipment would first require a legal determination of signal theft, copyright or patent infringement. Perhaps similarly situated defendants should band together and find and/or hire an attorney to defend their mutual interests. Any attorneys interested?

Sept 11 2003 Ken Hawkins (kenah{at}comcast.net): I am looking for cases addressing the issue:

Per In RE. Haas (11th Cir.)- Bankruptcy - which held in part "a creditor is a creditor" and the IRS is treated no differently than any other creditor..

Given above - looking for further cases on the issue of "intentional" failure to pay a past due tax bill, vs. "unintentional" failure to pay (ie. insufficient income, hardship, disability, etc.).

June 25 2003 Larry Timmins(coyote{at}matnet.com): Fellow Patriot:

My name is Larry L. Timmons and I am the Alaska Director of the Committee of Correspondence. We are a small group from all over the United States with a common goal that binds us together. We are all firm believers in the U.S. Constitution and strongly feel that our great nation is moving farther and farther away from our Constitutional roots. One day, if we continue down the current path, the Constitution as we know it will be little more than a memory. Our objective is to see that that never happens.

Before we can begin to take our country back, we must first put a halt to the unconstitutional laws which are being enacted on a daily basis. We have therefore written a petition, demanding that Congress pass and the President sign, a law mandating that all future laws, regulations or budgets contain the article and section of the Constitution which authorizes said law. We are realists and understand full well that getting Congress to pass this bill will be next to impossible, but at the same time, we would like the opportunity to publicly ask each Congressman why they refuse to honor the very Constitution that they swore to uphold and why they continually pass legislation that has no Constitutional basis.

Our Constitutional Muster Petition can be viewed and signed at www.petitiononline.com/CoC/petition.html. Please, send this link to every individual and every liberty minded group that you can think of. The only way that this will ever succeed is with the help of freedom loving people across this great land.

Yours in Liberty,

Apr 14 2003 James L. Schadler (slsalive{at}tcc.on.ca): 14 April 2003

Dear Sir or Ma’am,

My name is James L. Schadler. I am a retired U.S. Navy Petty Officer. I was previously employed as a broadcast engineer by a radio station in Kalamazoo, but was dismissed after six weeks and was given no reason for my termination. I since discovered that I had not been dismissed for misconduct, yet they have refused to give me any reason for termination. Moreover, my final paycheck took 23 days to arrive, after contacting them several times on the matter, and my tax papers or any kind of separation papers have still not arrived . I am seeking an e-mail contact for someone that I can correspond with at the state or federal level that can help me with this matter. Steve Jackson, Veterans Employment Representative, Michigan Department of Career Development, suggested this avenue. I have a detailed time-line of the events of my employment and termination available on request when someone can be located to assist me in this matter. Would you be able to help me or direct me to someone who can? It would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Very Respectfully,

James L. Schadler

Dec 18 2002 Sean Lee (hardwaylee{at}hotmail.com): My name is Sean Lee
I was wrongfully convicted for 1st degree murder in the province of British Columbia. I spent 5 years behind bars for a crime that I did not commit! Before finally being released on bail after my conviction was overturned by the court of appeals. I was tried not once but twice more before finally being aquitted at the end of the 3rd trial.(almost 8years of litigation). I have had local lawyer Lyle Harris trying his best to atain some kind of justice - we reqested public enquiry but were summarily dismissed by the AG. I addressed the AG live on the Peter Warren show asking for compensation or even some kind of recognition but never received any response. I intend to write a book seeing as nobody seems to want to listen, and don't know where to begin - agent - publicist and such. the entertainment world seems to be my only avenue. I'm still young and have seen many things death, gangs, and the debacle we call a court system in Canada. I could tell you so many things.... but where to begin. I'm really looking for some feedback an opinion or two or 50 on where to start. Maybe you can help me and maybe you can't but this is my first real contact with anyone in this regard, and one thing I won't do is quit now that Iv'e started so I guess no matter what you've helped me.

Looking for justice

Feb 21 2002 Marlene Schultz (diamax{at}midwest.net): January 14, 2002

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter to give you information regarding my son’s case.

To begin, my son was convicted of charges that not only had no basis in fact, but the F.B.I agent admitted under oath they had no physical evidence to support the charges levied against my son. The only type of evidence they presented, which was really none, was the testimony of previously convicted drug dealers and current drug users. They didn’t subpoena key evidence and witnesses. They went around town threatening and intimidating people, in order to force perjured testimony from them. One witness stated under oath that the two F.B.I. agents involved with his case told her if she did not testify against my son and say what they told her to say, they would take her children away from her and turn them over to Children and Family Services. She stated this on the witness stand.

The defense attorney, who was a discrimination lawyer, not a criminal lawyer, did not gather evidence or contact witnesses. Very in apt, inadequate defense.

The local law enforcement approached my son and asked him to sell drugs for them. Yes, they are involved in drug distribution themselves. When my son refused, they proceeded to arrest him. The fact that they had no evidence to support the charges, made no difference to them. The FBI and prosecution stated under oath that they had NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE against my son and did no understand why he was arrested. Their rationale for this travesty of justice was, “He dresses too nice and has too nice a car to not be doing something illegal, even if there is no evidence to support this charge.

The jury was made of people not my sons peers and not one black was on the jury. The judge said to my son if you come up with anything new let me know right away. His lawyer was no good and quit right after the trial, so how was my son to come up with something new? That tells me the judge knew he was not guilty. There was no warrant for his arrest, they got a warrant two days after he was arrested. The document that required signatures of the judge and the prosecutor was signed by one person; not two different signatures. The court gave him 37 ½ years and he has never been convicted of any crime before now. He is non-violent.

As I mentioned, there needs to be an investigation. The F.B.I. Agent involved with the conspiracy against my son has retired, and still he continues to harass the young people of Cairo. Now, remember where Cairo is located, between two rivers. Who would you say has access to the boats needed for transporting large quantities of drugs and receiving them? Definitely not young black men fresh out of high school looking to start a life for themselves.

Sincerely,

Marlene Schultz

Dec 31 2001 Joe and Marcia Sanford (blessingranch{at}juno.com): Good morning....I am hoping you can help us find a pro-gun lawyer. We live on just over five acres of unrestricted property in Garden Valley, Idaho (Boise County). We are outside of the town limits of Crouch. We bought this place three years ago so we could raise our children and animals in peace and they'd have room for their various activities, dirt bike riding, snowmobiling and target shooting. We have a small shooting range set up on our back property...against a bank....our 18 year old (who is pursuing a career in law enforcement) was out target shooting with a friend on the 15th of December. Nearly TWO WEEKS later...a deputy (Darla) with the Boise County SHeriff's Dept. showed up and issued my son and his friend with MISDEMEANOR citations (at the request of a "neighbor" up the hill quite a ways) for DISTURBING THE PEACE with their target shooting. We have been told that disturbing the peace is for the hours after 10 p.m. and before 8 a.m. Our son has a clean record and was recently approached by an EMT in town to take EMT training and serve out here....now this is going to be on his record...even if it's thrown out. However....we do intend to file a civil lawsuit against the "neighbor"...there has been ongoing harrassment up here for the entire three years we've been here...we have finally had enough.... and we would like to know if we have any legal recourse against the Boise County Sheriff's Dept. or that particular deputy for issuing such a bogus citation...which, by the way, has the wrong year on it for the court date! This same neighbor was cited for criminal trespass on our place over a year ago... We have everything documented....and would like to get a restraining order also... We will sure appreciate any attorney referrals you can provide....

Thankyou,
Joe and Marcia Sanford

Dec 6 2001 T Casey Brennan (tcaseybrennan{at}yahoo.com): Dear CALMM:

I am T. Casey Brennan, local author who has been trying to book Rene Emry on a radio show which just; interviewed me. She invited me to her home, twice, I gave her print-outs of emails between myself and the nationally syndicated X ZONE radio program, provided her with phone numbers and told her to use my name.

I was just told this afternoon (which she has since verified) that, after all this, that I stole money from her home. Is this MS affecting her mind? I would not under any circumstances steal from anyone, much less a crippled girl that I was trying to woo politically. Is there anyone rational at the CALMM offices that would like to smooth this over? I am an internationally known author and activist -- I just did appearances at the May & November Motor City Comic Cons, and, quite foolishly, I was trying to come up with an angle to get Rene in THERE also. If she simply does not like me, that's fine; I won't call her any more, but this business of slandering me after I tried to use my contacts to do something nice for her has me perplexed.

The URLs below are all fan pages about me or my work.

I can't imagine why she is circulating this account of me, and I wish someone would enlighten me on this matter.

Sincerely,

T. Casey Brennan

Vatican Bank Top 10 Money Laundering Destination

According to one global source, the Vatican is the main destination for over $55 billion in illegal Italian money laundering and the number 8 destination worldwide for laundered money, ranked well ahead of such offshore havens as the Bahamas, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein.

In a recent report by the London Telegraph and the Inside Fraud Bulletin, the Vatican was named as a top "cut out" country along with the offshore banking centers of Nauru, Macao, and Mauritius. A "cut out" country is one whose banking secrecy makes it is all but impossible to trace laundered funds back to their source.

The Vatican Bank is desperately resisting a legal action for an accounting of stolen World War II assets in a San Francisco Federal court (Alperin v. Vatican Bank) filed by Serb and Jewish Holocaust survivors. Contrary to the above reports, a declaration filed under penalty of perjury by the Vatican Bank’s attorney, Franzo Grande Stevens, states in part that the Vatican Bank’s "fundamental purpose is to promote pious acts" and that its depositors "are essentially limited to Vatican state employees, members of the Holy See, religious orders, and persons who deposit money destined, at least in part, for works of piety." Stevens also declared to the court that the Pope controls the Vatican Bank and that bank records are not retained after ten years.

It seems that the Vatican Bank, a major illegal money laundering operation, is hiding behind the benign image of John Paul II. Given the Vatican Bank’s alleged involvement with Nazi loot and current links to organized crime, a reckoning cannot be far off. The accumulating evidence points to a more piratical than pietical Vatican Bank
