RE: 1) Notice of Zernik v Melson et al 1:09-cv-00805, petition filed May 1. 2009, U.S. Court, Washington DC; 2) Request to guarantee voting rights of the Rampart-FIPs & former U.S. Attorney, Richard I Fine, in elections on May 19, July 14, and November 3, 2009, and 3) Request for action that would allow to withdraw the petition.

Att O’Brien and Attorney General Holder:

I am writing to notify you of the petition to compel U.S. officer to perform his duties, filed May 1, 2009 in DC, referenced above, summons yet to be served, hoping that you take action that would allow it to be withdrawn. The petition named KENNETH KAISER and KENNETH MELSON, Assistant Director, FBI and Director, USDOJ, respectively, as Defendants. The petition stems from responses provided by KENNETH KAISER and KENNETH MELSON to inquiries in my case by the Hon DIANNE FEINSTEIN, Senator, and the Hon DIANE WATSON, Congresswoman. Both responses, the petition claims, were fraud by U.S. Officers on U.S. Congress and on the U.S. tax-payer, and part of cover-up of wide-spread corruption in Los Angeles County. Such corruption is alleged to have given rise to the sub-prime crisis as we know it today, on the one hand, and civil rights violations of historic proportions, on the other.
.
I did my best to communicate with your offices, first, through Assistant U.S. Attorney MICHAEL WILNER in the Los Angeles office, throughout 2007 and 2008, later – directly to the office of Attorney General MICHAEL MUKASEY. My initial complaints, in January and March 2007, to the FBI office in LA, presciently alleged fraud by Countrywide on the U.S. government, and even gave estimates of the scope of the heist – at the hundreds of billions of dollars, which ended up being on target.
.
In 2007 my complaints were assigned to Special Agent VALLESE, and in 2008 –so I was indirectly informed – to Special Agent L.J. CONNOLY. I was also in regular contact with Chief of White Collar Crime Squadron, STEVEN GOLDMAN. However, throughout 2007-8, the FBI and USAO refused to take action, and allowed continued abuse of my civil rights. Such abuse included forcing me to leave my home under the threat of force, the taking of my property with no compensation at all, gag orders to benefit large corporations, issued through extreme abuse of due process, and various other frauds in the courtroom, mostly engineered by Judge JACQUELINE CONNOR. As alleged in the petition, my case is not unique at all. It is only unique in its meticulous documentation of the alleged perversion of justice by the judges, none of whom even held an assignment order…
.
KENNETH KAISER and KENNETH MELSON’s responses were issued under the administration of President George W Bush. Under the administration of President Barack Obama, one hopes for a change of heart and a change of mind. Obviously, I am no attorney, and I would rather have your offices accord me and others in LA County the equal protection we are entitled to, rather than go to Washington DC to petition for the restoration of my civil rights and the civil rights of others.
.
First among others abused in LA County are the overwhelmingly black and latinos who are the
RAMPART-FIPs (Falsely Imprisoned Persons). They were left falsely imprisoned in the aftermath of the massive, 2-year, 200-investigator corruption probe (1998-2000), which was dropped with no final report ever being written. Such absurd practice of law-enforcement was largely attributed as the outcome of the First Rampart Trial (2000), where Judge JACQUELINE CONNOR reversed jury verdict. In its wake, a Consent Decree (7/2001), was framed by U.S. Attorney ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS, and the Office of the Overseer for civil rights was instituted in LA. However, in retrospect, such office must be viewed as merely a fig-leaf, as was the case with the office Overseer in Guantanamo Bay. The continued large-scale false imprisonments, and the failure to enforce even the provisions of the Consent Decree itself are to wit.
.
In short, only combined review of the civil and criminal courts in LA reveals the true scope of the alleged wide-spread corruption, and in both - Judge JACQUELINE CONNOR played a prominent role!
.
Unfortunately, review of the facts in this matter would lead a reasonable person to conclude that
Judge JACQUELINE CONNOR was a protégé of FBI and the USDOJ under previous
administration(s). In fact, the petition alleges that the deliberately misleading statements by KAISER and MELSON to U.S. Congress were part of a long-term pattern, where U.S. agencies patronized the corrupt justice system of LA County. We, who live in Los Angeles County, have our hopes high, that the historic surge that brought us the first self-identified Black President, and first self-identified Black Attorney General, would also bring an end to such discriminatory practices. As stated in the petition: no U.S. officer had or has the authority to trade our civil rights, not for cash, not for drugs, and not for weapons…
.
I followed the petition with an ex- parte application for an order to compel FBI, USDOJ to guarantee the First Amendment rights of Att RICHARD I FINE, former Assistant U.S. Attorney, by ensuring that he has paper and pen available, to file petitions in court. His jailing, and the alleged dishonest manipulations and adulteration of court records related to of his Habeas Corpus petition, still pending (filed April 19 (?) or 20(?) 2009 - the “Filed” stamp was manually altered), brought the corruption of the justice system in LA County to yet a higher mark.
.
His indefinite jailing is the most recent episode in a courtroom farce going on for several years now, where Att Fine tirelessly struggled to stop the $45,000 per judge, per year, payments which were and are accepted by ALL judges of the LA Superior Court. Such payments, which would be called by a lay-person “bribes”, were finally ruled in October 2008 “not permitted”… only to be written and signed in January 2009 into a law that is unconstitutional on its face. USAO in LA is surely aware of all of that, but opts to take no action, in fact allowing the LA justice system to institutionalize its corruption.
.
Prior to the November 2008 elections, I also filed with Attorney General MICHAEL MUKASEY a request to guarantee the voting rights of the Rampart-FIPs, regardless of their false imprisonment.
.
The request like all others, was ignored. Please accept this notice also as an advance, early request to guarantee the voting rights of the RAMPART-FIPs and Att RICHARD I FINE in the May 19, July 14, and November 3, 2009 elections, regardless of whether their false imprisonments continues at that time.
.
If there is any chance that your office would take action allowing me to withdraw my petition before summons are even served, please do not hesitate to contact me ASAP. Present conditions in LA I believe fully justify international monitoring of Human Rights, and appear in stark contrast with all that this administration stands for.
.
As always, I am eager to cooperate with your office.
