Bush Supports Home-Bred Terrorists
[President Bush, Alberto Gonzales & Senator Dole support terror
threats and civil rights violations within the U.S..]
The administration and the Bush appointed Justice Department are
so obsessed with a foreign "war on terror" that they have chosen
to look the other way concerning home-bred terror perpetrated by
our own government officials against U.S. citizens.
Below is a quote from an American prosecutor that President Bush
and Alberto Gonzales' Justice Department believe is just fine,
"The last claim involves a statement made to attorney xxxxxxx
warning that the defendant would be charged with additional
crimes if he did not clam[sic] down. The statement is a
reference to the defendant's continued harassment of the victim
and the investigating officer in this case through the court
process. The defendant has filed a civil action against the
victim because of his participation in this criminal case. The
State is currently reviewing a contempt charge against the
defendants because of this activity. The statement was a proper
warning made through the defendant's representative."
This is an actual written quote from a powerful republican
prosecutor filed in court documents. It is a federal crime to
threaten someone for filing civil litigation in federal court or
for their participation in federal civil litigation. Threatening
someone with adverse consequences whether it be breaking their
arm or threatening them with an illegal and frivolous criminal
prosecution is known as extortion and obstruction of justice.
The above open-ended threat also constitutes violation of the
federal racketeering statutes and federal civil rights crimes.
The fact that the criminals in this instance carry government
issued badges and guns heightens the terror, which is now also
approved by the President and Attorney General Gonzales.
A glance at the legal system's own ethical cannons explain very
clearly why threats of this nature against civil proceedings are
forbidden and criminal,
..." The civil adjudicative process is primarily designed for
the settlement of disputes between parties, while the criminal
process is designed for the protection of society as a whole.
Threatening to use, or using, the criminal process to coerce
adjustment of private civil claims or controversies is a
subversion of that process; further, the person against whom the
criminal process is so misused may be deterred from asserting
his legal rights and thus the usefulness of the civil process in
settling private disputes is impaired. As in all cases of abuse
of judicial process, the improper use of criminal process tends
to diminish public confidence in our legal system." ...
Obstruction of federal civil litigation by the government itself
is not only a crime against individual victims, it constitutes
an attack on the integrity of the federal court system signaling
a demise of the rule of law and adversary court process in this
country. This trend is advocated by the current administration
and the Justice Department. The courts have become a powerful
tool for the government to abuse and manipulate.
In correspondence, President Bush failed to respond to this
issue. Alberto Gonzales and his Justice Department indicated
that the conduct was fine and not even a civil rights violation.
Senator Elizabeth Dole had an equally callous and unethical
response to this crime targeting the federal courts.
The above quote constitutes the on-going threat of violent
arrest and incarceration for exercising a right clearly
protected by the first amendment -redress of grievances in
federal court. Government threats of criminal retaliation for a
citizen's pursuit of civil claims in federal court is also an
impermissible coercion tactic violative of Due Process.
Constitutional rights of our own citizenry must be secured
before preaching abroad concerning foreign constitutions, rights
and freedoms.
In the same series of correspondences, the President, Attorney
General Gonzales and Senator Dole expressed no concern about the
threats of violent arrest and incarceration targeting citizens
for merely attempting to exercise the clearly established first
amendment right to attend and observe courthouse proceedings.
Secret courts are not a precept that should be sheltered or
embraced by our President or the Justice Department.
While the above instances reveal how this country is evolving
into a police state with zero concern for rights, liberties and
freedoms, ironically, we hold ourselves up as the example for
others to emulate. President Bush, lets get it right here before
we attempt to impose our system on others. Our military is
risking their lives in foreign lands to protect rights, freedoms
and liberties that currently exist only on paper in this
country. The politicians that have directed our troops to engage
in foreign conflict are the very same individuals who have waged
a war to undermine our constitutional rights within our own
borders.
The willingness of those in power to inspire fear in the public
with threats of political imprisonment for stating a position,
filing a paper in court or merely attending a court proceeding
is terrorism. The President and Justice Department's willingness
to allow these practices supports and encourages further terror
and terrorism.
Alberto Gonzales' Justice Department concludes that the above,
"does not involve a prosecutable violation of federal criminal
civil rights statutes [18 U.S.C.,
