Corruption is the abuse of power by a
public official for private gain or any organized,
interdependent system in which part of the system is either
not performing duties it was originally intended to, or
performing them in an improper way, to the detriment of the
system's original purpose. The abuse of public offices for
private gain is paradigmatic of corruption.
A common
belief is that corruption is a judge taking bribes. The
definition exceeds this theory.
Corruption describes any organized,
interdependent system in which part of the system is either
not performing duties it was originally intended to, or
performing them in an improper way, to the detriment of the
system's original purpose.
Corrupt judicial
systems not only violate the basic right to equality before
the law but deny procedural rights guaranteed by the United
States Constitution.
While corruption may facilitate criminal
enterprise such as drug
trafficking,
money
laundering, and
mail fraud.; it is not restricted to these activities. In this
country, corruption is so common that it is expected when
ordinary businesses or citizens interact with government
officials. The end-point of political corruption is a
kleptocracy,
literally "rule by thieves".
America's Corrupt Legal System - A
Danger to All
by Dr Les Sachs (This
article may be freely reproduced and republished in full by
anyone, anywhere.) The tragic reality of the
world's biggest corrupt legal system -America's rigged courts,
bribed judges, fake and phony trials, extortion by lawyers,
and over 2 million prisoners in the USA gulag. Why USA
"justice" is not like in Hollywood movies, and why YOU could
be the next victim on USA territory - innocent and sent to
prison, or strapped to a table and put to death; or robbed of
your life savings by American lawyers. Why YOU can be
tortured, have your freedom and rights taken away, and why
people in America are afraid to help you, or even tell what
happened to you. The recent pattern of American violations of
international law are ultimately based in the corruption of
the USA domestic legal system. Phony USA courts are very
dangerous even for travellers and visitors to America, who can
easily wind up among the USA's more than 2 million prisoners,
or lose all their family's possessions to corrupt American
lawyers. All world citizens should know how the corrupt USA
legal system, is a danger to every traveller, visitor, and
guest worker from overseas, and to every individual who takes
the risky step of entering upon American territory. Just ask
the overseas families of prisoners who were put to death
inside the USA, with their embassies never even being informed
that they were arrested - or the many foreign people serving
hugely long prison terms in America, after they were jailed on
flimsy tainted "evidence" from criminal snitches. The reality
is that the United States of America, which proclaims itself
the "land of freedom", has the most dishonest, dangerous and
crooked legal system of any developed nation. Legal corruption
is covering America like a blanket. The corruption of the USA
legal system is well-known, but also well-hidden, by the news
services of America's corporate-owned media. The US media
companies are afraid both of reprisal, and of the social
revolution that would come from exposing the truth. Here is
what the US media companies know, but are afraid to tell you
about American "justice".
Concentration camps with concrete
walls
America has the largest prison
gulag in the entire world - yes, right there in the USA, the
self-proclaimed "land of freedom". The starting point for
understanding anything about the USA, is to digest the fact
that just this one country, the United States of America, has
twenty-five percent of ALL of the prisoners in the entire
world.
More than 2 million prisoners - more than 1 out
of every 150 people in America - are behind bars in the
American gulag. This is now the world's biggest system of what
are effectively concentration camps, though most of these
prisoners are behind masonry walls and inside prison
buildings.
For minorities, the statistics are even more
brutal. For example, the USA is now imprisoning about 1 out of
every 36 people in its black population. American "justice" is
especially focused on jailing young black males.
Quite
amazingly, Americans and the American government, continually
criticize the legal systems and so-called "political" legal
proceedings in other countries such as China, Russia, and even
Belgium among many other places. Yet, for example, the
proportion of prisoners is 30 times higher in the USA than in
China, even though China is a country regularly criticized and
denounced by the USA government.
No one imprisons
people as readily, or casually, as does America. As you learn
more about America's horrifying legal system, you find out how
easily and carelessly America arrests people, and tosses
innocent people into prison. It is estimated that America has
at least 100,000 completely innocent people in jail, but the
statistics of innocence may well run far higher. The number of
people known to be innocent, and yet who were actually
sentenced to death in recent years in America, is already
running into the hundreds.
The USA jailing of more than
2 million people is also, quite literally, a revival of
slavery and slave labor, on a scale not seen since the days of
the Nazis. USA business corporations are using these prisoners
as a giant slave labor pool. Prisoners are forced to produce
goods and products while earning mere pennies per hour, which
they sometimes have to pay back to the prison for their own
upkeep. The expanding system of USA prison slave labor is not
only a major source of business profit, but also a wedge to
drive down the wages of workers outside the prison
walls.
This USA policy, of using mass casual
imprisonment as a way to revive slavery, is targeted
particularly at minorities, but ends up affecting all working
people. Supervised by malicious judges and corrupt lawyers,
this culture of mass prisons and slave labor is sold to the
citizens by creating a psychology of fear among USA residents.
This climate of fear is nourished in the USA by both the media
and the government, who work together with the judges and
lawyers to maintain the whole crooked game.
Of
America's more than 2 million prisoners, about 50,000 are
known to be foreign citizens. This proportion might seem
small, but remember that 50,000 prisoners is more than the
entire prison population of many other countries. It only
appears as a small percentage, because of America's obsession
with jailing its own people, who have had more time to get
caught in America's web of legal horror.
The USA is
extremely casual about the jailing of foreigners, and not
honouring their rights under international law or treaties and
agreements. Often, foreign citizens have been sentenced to
death, while the USA didn't even bother to notify the foreign
government that their citizens were arrested.
Several other governments are working hard just to try
and obtain even the most primitive judicial rights for their
own nationals, who have been seized and held in abusive
conditions by the USA empire. And yet, the United States of
America somehow still brags about its own legal system, while
criticizing other countries. Understanding that America has
such a huge percentage of even its own people in prison, is to
start to understand the subconscious fear behind much of
American life. Before you set foot in America, you should have
a clear picture of the terror of America's legal system - the
judges and lawyers and money and bribery, that have made this
system of fear so pervasive. There is not yet enough public
media information about America's domestic legal horrors,
horrors which have been rapidly increasing. And the American
public, even the victims of its legal system, have a hard time
realizing why it is so hard to fight legal corruption there.
The situation is so bad, that a social explosion is beginning
inside America. You can read some news stories - about people
murdering judges, or attacking the families of judges, or
people setting fire to courthouses in the USA - and see the
pattern that is emerging, even though the news media are
afraid to connect the dots and suggest what might be behind
all these events. America is trying to maintain its myths
about its legal system, even while the desperate reality of
life inside the USA is starting to blow back into escalating
social upheaval.
USA torture and illegal
jailing overseas, starts with USA domestic torture and illegal
jailing at home
The world press has documented
clear violations of human and legal rights by America in its
overseas jails, such as the infamous situations in Guantanamo
and occupied Iraq and Afghanistan, and the even more secret
network of prisons in places like Diego Garcia or on board
American ships.
But the problem is much bigger, than
America's legal abuses under its military invasions and "war
on terrorism". These USA violations of international law, are
consistent with the corruption in America's home legal system
within its own borders, and have partly evolved from America's
legal abuses against its own citizens and
residents.
American prisons are often horrible, with
lots of torment of prisoners, like you would expect in some
petty dictatorship. Conditions are brutal in USA jails; rape
and beatings are common, and there is little help for abused
inmates. In addition to the many official USA executions,
numerous people are also illegally killed in jail cells,
"mysteriously" said to have hanged themselves or "found
stabbed to death".
Scandals of overseas prison abuse,
as in the USA-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, have arisen from
sources much deeper than America's foreign policy. These
scandals are in part replications of inmate abuse inside of
America's domestic prison gulag. Without diminishing the
brutality of the crimes committed by Americans in Iraqi
prisons, it is also true that such crimes are consistent with
the brutality of prisons inside America.
In the regular
functioning of the USA courts, America's domestic lawyers and
judges, threaten people with illegal jailing, and rape,
torture and murder in jail, just like the threats used by
Americans against Iraqi subjects of the American occupation.
America will play the song about "just a few bad apples in the
barrel" whenever an abuse scandal gets exposed, either
domestically or abroad, but the cover-up of such abuse is more
the routine response.
Theoretically, torture and abuse
is totally outlawed by America's Constitution, but some of the
nice words in America's Constitution hold little power
anymore, despite how often people quote them. The Americans
who still believe the Constitution protects them, are mostly
those people who haven't yet dealt with the judges and lawyers
of America's corrupt legal system.
America's
Constitution and Bill of Rights are nearly dead, not just
because the judges will no longer enforce them, but even more
because America's lawyers will not even fight for them. The
two American "political parties" are not fighting for them,
either, and America's news media are also very passive. If you
look at America in depth, you can see there has been a
widespread moral collapse in America's legal and political
structures. This means that America's legal system has become
largely a tool of government terror, and of bribery for the
rich and the powerful. The average person is just fodder for
the meat-grinder of America's courts.
America's lies
and sleazy arguments to make excuses for torture, or to deny
people the rights of the Geneva convention, or holding people
for many years without charges, are also just an extension of
the deviousness in America's domestic legal system. Inside
America, neither its laws nor its Constitution nor the facts
nor evidence nor anything else, no longer have real authority
inside the American courts. All that's left is what
American lawyers and judges call "the game". As part of
playing this game, USA lawyers and judges just twist words
around, in order to produce any excuse, however flimsy, to
achieve their objective, whether that be to jail an innocent
person, or give the verdict that was sought by the big company
that paid the big bribe through its law firm.
It is an
endlessly devious manipulation of words and phrases to get the
desired result, just devious falsehood and lies backed by the
naked power of the judges. The only "real" part is the power
that the judges and lawyers hold in America, to jail you and
take away your property. The words of the law don't protect
you in the USA, because American judges and lawyers have no
scruples about bending them to mean the opposite of what they
say.
America's lawyers are controlled by
the judges, and don't really work for you - that's why they
sell you out to the government, or to the big companies that
pay bribes
There's some very special aspects
about the way American lawyers are controlled by American
judges, which is central to why America's legal corruption is
so much worse than any other advanced nation. Even if you are
paying an American lawyer huge amounts of money, he or she
doesn't really work for you, and in fact may sell you down the
river to the jailhouse.
American lawyers are directly
under the thumb of the judges and the government, and must
submit to the culture of bribery and perversion of justice, or
else face terrifying revenge. Lawyers, just like you, can be
instantly jailed by an American judge on flimsy pretexts, and
American lawyers can be quickly stripped of their right to
practice law, and personally and financially destroyed, if
they dare to criticize legal corruption. Lawyers who try to
fight the system can find themselves not only dis-barred, but
also criminally charged and jailed, and no other lawyer will
help them. It is a horribly crooked system in
America.
This is different from other advanced
countries, where lawyers are usually a professional guild,
whose status and right to practice law, is under the control
of only their fellow lawyers. This means that, in other
countries, the judges and the government cannot easily ruin or
attack the lawyers for purely political reasons. This is also
part of why, in other developed countries, outside of America,
you really do see brave lawyers fighting for un-popular
clients, or challenging the government, and asking for
justice.
But in America, it's different. Over the past
century, the American lawyers lost the right to regulate
themselves, and instead fell under the power of the judges. So
American lawyers are afraid to do things in court, that the
judges don't want them to do. America's army of nearly 1
million lawyers, is almost totally under the control of a few
thousand judges, with their entrenched culture of bribery and
fraud and miscarriage of justice.
Some USA lawyers
don't like this, but they are helpless and can't fight it.
Most lawyers in America have, to one degree or another, signed
up with the devil, to do things the way the devil wants them
done.
That means that any time you hire an American
lawyer, he already is in a conflict of interest. He has to
make the judge happy first. And if the judge wants to make the
government happy, or make somebody else happy who is paying a
big bribe, then guess what? You are destroyed. It doesn't
matter what you paid the lawyer. He works for the judge, first
and foremost. So a totally unique factor in USA legal
corruption is the amazingly dishonest profession of American
lawyers, these lawyers who "play the game" with America’s
judges and politicians and police. It is a savage culture of
legal fraud, where lawyers work with judges to rob and terrify
people, especially minorities, but also foreigners, and above
all those who dare to question the system. People accused of
serious crimes have the "right" to a lawyer, but this may mean
only a crooked lawyer who is stage-managing the victim to help
the government and prosecutors. If the lawyer does not help
the government, he can be put out of work and not "assigned"
to any more cases, or treated badly the next time he is in a
courtroom. This legal fraud is the core of the danger to those
who visit America. A lawyer who is "representing" you in the
USA, whether the government is paying him, or even if you are
paying him yourself, may just be a stooge who is helping the
prosecutors to put you in jail, even though you are innocent.
The judges of America gave every accused criminal the "right"
to a lawyer, not because they cared about the rights of the
accused, but because it helps stage-manage the victim, with a
lawyer who has to do things the judge's way. In America, such
government-appointed lawyers are the means by which hundreds
of thousands of poor people are railroaded into prison. Some
of these people were just foreign tourists, in the wrong place
at the wrong time, and wound up rotting in an American prison.
Some lawyers are fairly subtle about it, and their victims
never realize the lawyer has sold them out to the judge and
the government. Most American court cases never go to trial,
never see a jury; it is the job of the victim's lawyer to
"sell the deal" that the judge has decided will happen, or
else. This is how people accept a "plea bargain" so they
accept going to jail for 3 years even though they are
innocent, instead of going to trial before a jury. Because of
the corruption of lawyers under the thumb of the judges,
there's a very fake and phony aspect of court proceedings in
America. They are really fake "show trials" in many cases,
sometimes very obviously so, where both purported "sides" of
lawyers are actually working together for the government, or
for the big corporation or rich person that is bribing the
judge.
You will also find, in the American legal
system, that you essentially have no recourse whatsoever
against wrongdoing by your own lawyer. A lawyer can sell you
out, betray you, steal your money, engage in malpractice, help
out the other side, hide the evidence that proved you were
right, or commit felony crime against you, and there is
nothing you can do about it, so long as the lawyer made the
judge happy, and the judge got his cut of any money the lawyer
stole from you.
Innocent and being arrested
- they don't like to admit a mistake in
America
Yes, lots of people live their whole
lives in America and never get arrested. And yet, some poor
foreign visitor comes to America for a short holiday, gets
arrested by mistake, and gets sentenced to death by lethal
injection even though he is totally innocent. Well, that's the
lottery of life for those who visit or live in America. The
police and prosecutors in America have no concern at all
whether they have arrested someone who is innocent. They just
don't care. When a crime is committed, they try to arrest
somebody, anybody, just to say they got the bad guy. And they
never like to admit they made a mistake. Once they arrest you,
they will try to make up and plant false evidence, to help try
and convict you. A common trick is to take other criminals
they know, who are facing jail on other charges, and get those
criminals to be false witnesses against you. The cops justify
this kind of thing by saying to themselves, "Well, if you
didn't commit this crime, you probably committed some other
crime we don't know about." If they do arrest you in America,
they like to pile on all sorts of criminal charges. The idea
is to charge you with 10 crimes, because it makes you sound
bad, and maybe convict you on 3 of them or you will accept a
plea bargain on 1 or 2 of them. Any kind of guilty plea, and
they call it a success, even though you were totally
innocent.
For the police and prosecutors, it's all a
kind of sporting game, so they can bring about their "high
conviction rate". Perhaps part of the reason America has so
much crime, even with more than 2 million people in prison, is
because the people who actually committed the crimes were
never arrested. Also, some poor people may feel that the odds
are high they will be arrested someday anyway, so they may as
well be criminals and enjoy life in the meantime.
The
system is extremely racist, of course, and white people are
arrested less than many minorities. But no one is safe. Any
innocent person can get railroaded to death in
America.
Multi-millionaires and big
corporations, vs. everybody else
The only
people who really can get expect some fairness in American
courts are multi-millionaires and big corporations. Nobody
else really matters to American judges and
lawyers.
There is a huge amount of bribery in America,
perhaps even more than in the courts of any other country in
the world. Even some American ex-judges have admitted the
near-universality of bribery there. Nearly all bribes are
given to the judges by lawyers; this is considered the safe
way to bribe a judge. Bribery is rarely spoken about, just
understood. Rich people pay huge amounts of money to law firms
with connections, the lawyers walk around with a certain
amount of cash in their jacket, and they pass it to the judges
in their quiet moments together. It is mostly all cash of
course. Sometimes the bribery is blatantly obvious, because of
the other crimes that lawyers and judges commit in broad
daylight together. In the courtrooms you can see the judges
being extremely friendly to their rich lawyer friends who pay
big bribes.
As an average person, there's no real way
to out-bribe a big corporation, regardless of what your lawyer
promised you. That's why the big companies win so
often.
American judges are very devious, and use all
sorts of techniques to prevent a victim from getting justice.
Lots of judges issue gag orders, and bans on freedom of
speech, to help prevent other people from finding out what is
going on. Judges set up a trial in all sorts of ways, giving
orders that all sorts of evidence be hidden from a jury, for
example. The judge may declare, for example, that the evidence
that proves you are innocent or right, will not be allowed at
the trial.
Jury trials are actually very rare in
America, unlike what you see in the movies. Most cases are
settled through some deal or extortion or intimidation, before
there is an actual trial. If there is a jury trial, they tend
to stack the jury with un-educated idiots who will tend to
believe whatever lies they are told by the judge and the
government. If you are trying to fight a rich person in court,
the judge might let the fancy lawyers for the rich person say
anything they want, while he tells you to shut up as soon as
you start talking. The judges have a thousand ways to rig a
legal proceeding, to benefit rich people or the
government. It's no wonder so many innocent people go to
prison. With the fundamental brutality and harshness of life
in America, American citizens are confused and fearful, and
gullible to propaganda. So, a jury in a courtroom, these
people who tend to be poorly educated, will tend to go along
with any lies presented by government prosecutors. In this
environment of fear, the feeling of safety for the jury, comes
from following the "strong" government in sending various
"suspected criminals" to jail.
Yes, there are appeals
courts, but these are just more judges, who are often friends
with the lower court judge who originally sold you out. The
appeals judges tend to go along with the lower court judge,
unless you have suddenly acquired some politically powerful
backing on your side.
Americans love to talk about
"taking it all the way to the Supreme Court!", but this is a
nearly empty hope. The U.S. Supreme Court simply refuses to
consider most cases that are presented to it. If you are a
little helpless nobody, the appeals judges often barely reply
to you, and sometimes don't reply at all. Sometimes people
have been strapped to a table and given the lethal poison and
put to death in America, with the victim's appeal never even
answered by the judges.
What about when
people win millions of dollars in a lawsuit against the big
company?
Every now and then, there is
worldwide news of how some average person in America has won a
lawsuit for $25 million or some other huge sum of money, from
some company or other. What's going on here - if the American
legal system is so crooked, how can people be winning such big
money?
Such cases are indeed real, but they are
actually somewhat rare, numerically - rather like winning the
lottery - and it's important to see why they take place, and
how they fit into the big pattern. Such cases are typically
after someone has been seriously injured or died due to some
defective product or prescription drug or hospital treatment
or accident.
These cases have a certain "place" in the
American legal framework, accepted by the judges. They are
also very important for maintaining the bribery culture. A lot
of the money won in such cases goes into the lawyer's pockets,
and is a major source of bribery money for the judges. As
regards big companies and the judges, such cases are viewed as
a kind of "tax" on the big corporations, part of the cost of
doing business in America, part of the price of being able to
otherwise make huge profits.
Such cases, as well, have
the same function as in a gambling casino, when the casino
proudly announces that one customer has just won a huge
jackpot. The hype about the one jackpot winner, hides the fact
that most everyone else is losing money. The person whose
husband died from the defective prescription drug, and won
millions of dollars (one-third of that to the lawyer, of
course), is the person who is shoved forward to prove that
"the legal system works - it's the greatest legal system in
the world!"
The small handful of such personal-injury
cases, are intended to distract the public from all the
innocent people sentenced to prison, from all the families
destroyed by bribed judges in divorce cases, and from all the
people whose lives are destroyed by big companies, companies
who cheerfully pay bribes to win their routine cases in
court. Big companies know that some big "injury" cases will
be lost, in order to supply money for the lawyers and judges
who otherwise take good care of the big company's interests.
When you are making hundreds of millions of dollars, the loss
of a few million here and there is just another expense of
business. In the end, the companies just raise their prices to
cover the costs of lawyers and lawsuits. The whole world pays
for the millions earned by American lawyers, they are the
ultimate parasites.
There are other casualties here,
too. America's health care system has been destroyed from the
inside by the legal culture of constant lawsuits against
doctors and hospitals, with huge amounts of money being given
to the lawyers in these cases, driving up the cost of medical
care and putting it out of reach of many people. America is
the only economically advanced nation without a national
health plan, with tens of millions of Americans having no
health coverage. USA lawyers joke openly about how, when the
courts make big money awards to pay a lawyer, the lawyer often
gives the judge a bribe by way of gratitude. Some lawyers grow
rich, and doctors are afraid to continue practicing
medicine in the US, and many Americans die from lack of health
care. But while America's lawyers will very casually file
legal charges against doctors, hospitals, or ordinary people,
for any flimsy reason, to try and squeeze some money from the
situation, they are extremely afraid to take any legal action
against another lawyer or judge engaged in misconduct. That's
where fear takes over, and lawyers are suddenly too timid to
file any lawsuits.
The Hollywood image,
versus the grim reality
Once you have digested
the fact that America has the world's largest prison gulag,
another major thing to digest is the USA government, and much
of America, is primarily a sales organization, whose chief
tool is hype and propaganda and outright lies. America is a
culture built on sales and advertising; it focuses on
portraying an image, not the reality beneath it.
This
is why America was so casual about inventing and selling the
lies about "weapons of mass destruction" to help start the
Iraq invasion. It was just a question of whatever lies needed
to be told, in order to sell the product; there was no concern
about afterwards, when the lies were exposed. America just
figures it can later send out more salespeople with more lies,
in an endless cycle. Tomorrow is just another day, when
America will try to sell another product, the "war on terror",
the "spread of freedom", or whatever. The selling never
stops, in Washington or Hollywood. America sells political
lies like Hollywood sells movies. When the USA President talks
about "advancing the cause of freedom", he basically means
freedom for big corporations to do business. He's not really
talking about actual personal freedom for real people. But he
grins when he talks about "freedom" because it's a good word
of salesmanship, people hear him and some of them can be duped
into believing that America cares about personal or political
freedom. Hollywood movies and American television are a major
element of political myth-making. Around the world, people
derive an image of America, and its legal system, from these
fictional creations on film. America's propaganda about having
"the greatest legal system in the world" is one of those phony
stories that Hollywood is helping to sell. It is also a
myth sustained by the few trials about which there is a lot of
publicity, like with the celebrity trials of Martha Stewart or
Michael Jackson. Judges behave very differently when the
cameras are rolling, or the media is reporting everything that
goes on, and millions of dollars are being spent on lawyers.
But in the 98 percent of court activity that does not have big
media coverage, the judges of America provide a bizarre
sideshow of horror.
In the Hollywood version, the
judges in American courts are like kind uncles, smiling and
being wise and calmly dispensing justice. But in reality,
American judges sometimes scream at people like disturbed
perverts, and show off their bribed corruption right there in
the courtroom. Sometimes judges engage in flagrant extortion,
where you have to agree to pay money to the judge's lawyer
friends as the price to stay out of jail. It is really that
bad. You can find no end of documented horror about American
judges behaving like criminal lunatics, and it is getting
worse all the time.
In the Hollywood version, there are
brave lawyers who will fight for your rights, to win justice
for you in the American courts. In reality, you can't find an
American lawyer brave enough to fight judicial corruption,
even if you are innocent and the judge's friends have
threatened to murder you, or to send you to jail for the rest
of your life. The lawyers who used to be brave, were destroyed
or intimidated, and nearly all American lawyers now submit
themselves to the culture of corruption and bribery, and
betraying and abandoning the people who need legal
help.
In the sad reality, American lawyers line up by
the dozen to help the government or the big corporations, and
regularly betray the average person, even if they are
supposedly representing you. Even the lawyers who don't want
to be wicked themselves, are too timid to really fight the
system. At a certain point, nearly all American lawyers will
hold back and abandon their clients, because they are trying
to survive themselves and avoid revenge by the judges. In the
Hollywood version, the average person is also helped by the
"brave investigative reporter" at some newspaper or television
station, who shows great courage in exposing the truth, and
bringing powerful wrongdoing to face justice. However, the
brave "investigative reporter" in America is now as fictional
and non-existent as the "brave lawyer" who will fight for your
rights. This is especially true on any topic pertaining to
corruption by judges and lawyers.
In America today,
reporters are little timid people who are afraid of getting
fired, and who almost never write a story on government
corruption, unless some other part of the government is
officially investigating or prosecuting. That goes triple when
judges or lawyers are involved. The owners of the newspapers
and television stations are afraid of revenge by the judges if
they have to go to court, and the nervous little reporters who
work for them understand the rules of the game. If you look
closely at a modern newspaper or news magazine in the USA, you
will see how almost all stories originate with the government
itself. When the media "investigates", they are usually just
adding more details on a situation already being targeted by
the government. Every news media and television station in
America is swamped with people begging them to report on
stories, that they totally refuse to cover. The reporters are
too scared, and they know the stories wouldn't get printed or
broadcast even if they were written. America is the land of
fear, as regards the legal system and the culture of
corruption. Everyone involved with the USA legal system is
afraid, very afraid, of stepping on the wrong toes. Even
American judges themselves get driven out of office, if they
don't participate in the bribery
culture.
No recourse against crime and
fraud by judges and lawyers in America
In
reality, there is almost nothing you can do against
misconduct, and even open felony crime, committed against you
by American judges and lawyers. All of the official complaint
procedures you find on the internet, or at the courthouse or
in the law books, turn out to be a joke, a farce and a
fraud. Complaints about lawyers in America, usually go to
the "Bar", which is itself run by the judges who are involved
in bribery with the lawyers. And complaints about judges go to
other judges, their friends. Nearly all the complaints about
lawyers and judges - tens of thousands of them - are kept
secret. Nearly all are dismissed or ignored. They are
generally only used if the judges or politicians want to
specially destroy someone - some radical minority lawyer,
someone who is not playing the bribery game, somebody who has
dared to expose wrongdoing. Otherwise, even criminal acts by
lawyers and judges get a smiling cover-up.
You will
almost certainly not find any lawyers to help you sue another
lawyer for wrongdoing. They are too scared of revenge by the
judges. Even the lawyers who are broke and unemployed and
desperate for work, are too scared to sue another lawyer.
(Special caution: Lawyers may make false promises to you about
suing another lawyer, cash your checks and steal your money,
and then refuse to help you. And then you will have another
lawyer who wronged you.) The police and FBI almost certainly
will not help you, either. They all know the bribery game, and
they rely on the same crooked judges to help send innocent
people to prison after they have been arrested. The more
crooked the judge, the more eager the judge will be, to help
the police or FBI do a dirty deal and convict an innocent
person. And, of course, the newspapers and television and
media won't help you. They hear stories like yours all the
time. If they publish or broadcast your story, then they will
have problems the next time they get sued in court. Or they
might find themselves arrested on false charges, and end up in
an even worse situation than you.
The newspapers are so
tied into the establishment of judges and lawyers, that the
newspapers sometimes help the judges and lawyers to commit
their crimes, and to unfairly smear and attack their victims.
The big media newspapers have even helped to plant false
"evidence" in court cases, and help the legal establishment to
destroy innocent people. But even if not harming you, the USA
media is afraid to help you, afraid of revenge if they expose
judicial corruption. These fears are just as big, if not
bigger, with America's radical and alternative media, and
bloggers and internet sites. Such people will criticize
American foreign policy and so on, but everybody is scared of
talking about specific cases of corruption by lawyers and
judges. The independent media has even more reason to be
afraid, because they are even more vulnerable if the lawyers
start to file false charges against them in the
courts.
Of course, America's politicians will not help
you, either. Many politicians are themselves lawyers, very
used to the whole game of bribery with judges and other
lawyers. The politicians accept the crooked courts as the way
that America is run, and as helping the two big parties to
monopolize the political scene and prevent alternative
political movements. America's two big political parties, the
Democrats and Republicans, can be seen as another phony game
like America's courts. The two parties actually get their
hundreds of millions of dollars in money from the same people
at the same big corporations who own the rest of America.
These two American parties pretend to argue with each other
over emotional issues like gun control and abortion rights,
but in the end both of these parties serve the big
corporations. Half of Americans are still fooled into thinking
that these parties represent them, the other half sense it is
phony but feel helpless and don't know what to do. This is why
people don't vote very much in America; they feel it is
hopeless and useless.
You can also forget about
America's human rights and civil liberties groups, even though
it looks, at first, like there are many such groups on the
internet. Many such groups are just money-raising groups which
don't help victims, or are tied to the two main political
parties or some narrow agenda. They are all scared of the
legal system, too, and there is no one with any significant
funding or money, who is out there helping the victims of
legal corruption. They can't find lawyers to help them,
either. There are some overwhelmed and struggling projects
here and there, doing worthy work for a few of the innocent
people in prison, but they function in an environment of
timidity and fear, and without the resources or clout or media
access to expose or change what is happening. It's getting
worse and worse in America all the time. As the judges and
lawyers can get away with committing crimes, they are getting
more open and blatant, committing felony crimes in broad
daylight, because they know no one will stop them or bring
them to account. It is also important to know, that once you
have started complaining about, or exposing, judicial and
legal corruption in America, you become a kind of outlaw
there. You are in a very dangerous situation, and you are
considered fair game to be either arrested and jailed on false
charges, or to be totally robbed and betrayed by America's
lawyers. Once you have spoken out about legal corruption, you
may find that no other lawyer will then help you for any
reason, even if it is un-related to your complaint about
judicial wrongdoing. You may be trapped in a nightmare from
which there is no escape unless you can leave America
altogether.
Dealing with American lawyers,
if you have no other choice
Perhaps the
statistical chance of getting arrested in America as an
innocent person, and then being sent to prison or put to
death, is relatively small. But think of how you will feel if
you end up as one of those 2 million American prisoners,
including 50,000 foreign citizens. Or perhaps even one of
those several thousand people on Death Row, waiting for the
lethal poison to be injected into your arm.
Visiting
America now, is probably similar to visiting or doing business
in 1936 with Hitler's Reich, or Mussolini's fascist empire. If
you did such a thing in 1936, you might have visited and had a
wonderful time, maybe even have done some business with
companies in those countries. You might have seen some
beautiful sights, and met some very friendly individual
people, perhaps drunk a beer or two, or a nice glass of wine,
maybe attended the 1936 Olympics. Very likely, you wouldn't
have seen any concentration camps, in the places where you
travelled. You might have had a very pleasant trip. But
nonetheless, you were in a dangerous place, where horrible
things were going on. That's true of the United States of
America today, the land of 2 million prisoners in a giant
gulag. With America's corrupt legal system, it's certainly not
the wisest place to keep money or assets, which can be easily
grabbed by American lawyers in legal proceedings. Many smart
Americans have opened overseas bank accounts, and it is wise
to not keep too much money where American lawyers can seize
it. There is no bigger group of thieves in the world, than
American lawyers.
If you are in a lawsuit situation in
America, get all your money out of the country, fast, before
the USA lawyers can put any kind of hold or freeze on it. But
you shouldn't keep substantial assets in the USA in the first
place. Sell any USA real estate and rent instead, get that
money out where it is safe. Certainly,
don't ever expect any justice from American courts. Expect the
judges and both sides of lawyers to tilt toward the
government, or toward the big company that can pay bribes on a
regular basis. All that most people get out of American
courts, is grief, and lawyers stealing their money. Best not
to approach American courts unless absolutely necessary.
Despite the commonplace fraud and dishonesty of American
lawyers, it's still important to have one if you must be in an
American court. The reason is that American judges absolutely
hate people who come to court without lawyers, especially if
they have any money at all. The judge takes it as a personal
insult if you are not giving some money to one of his lawyer
friends, and will tend to take revenge on you unless you hire
a lawyer, even a very stupid one, to stand by your
side.
What American lawyers love to do, is to steal all
your money, tell you a bunch of false promises and lies, and
then do nothing for you, while they sell you out to the other
side. That is a perfect scenario for an American lawyer. A
lawyer's goal is to squeeze as much money from you, while at
the same time doing as little as possible to rock the judge's
political boat. Some lawyers even make money by the "research
and review" scam, where they don't even agree to represent
you, but just steal your money to "research" your
case.
Accept in advance that an American lawyer will
rob you and betray you, and everything will go more smoothly
if you quietly understand this. Never actually trust an
American lawyer, but don't let on that you know he's a crook.
Don't tell the lawyer how much money you really have, he will
try to get all of it. Try to pay a lawyer very slowly, in
small chunks, that will keep him more interested, and prevent
some of the bigger robberies and betrayals, and will leave you
some money to try another lawyer if things get too awful.
Remember, once you give a USA lawyer any money, it's almost
impossible to get it back. Lawyers will almost never sue
another lawyer, and if you go to court, the judge will almost
certainly protect the lawyer who defrauded you (and get a
share of the money, of course). Lawyers and judges in America
like people to appear to be submissive and stupid and easily
manipulated. They like to feel superior to you. By letting
them think that you are weak and falling for their lies, you
may give yourself some breathing room. This tactic has even
enabled some people to stay alive and not get murdered, and to
escape from America back to safety.
The
growing American nightmare
It is just getting
worse and worse in America's legal system. For some years now,
the USA judges and lawyers have gotten used to denying people
justice, to the great flow of bribery money, and even to
committing felony crimes in broad daylight and getting away
with it. It just keeps on escalating. Though a social
explosion is lurking beneath the surface - with judges
starting to get murdered, and people lighting courthouses
ablaze - the people who run America are letting the current
system chug along as it is, justice be damned, and to hell
with the people who seem to have no way to fight back. It
can't go on like this forever, but it may get a lot worse
first, despite the fair internet visibility on documented
American legal corruption. One should note a brave and
promising grass-roots attempt at judicial reform in the USA
called (Jail 4 Judges -
www.jail4judges.org), which attempts to place onto American
ballots, a referendum for a new procedure to give citizens a
real right of redress against corrupt judges. It is a
wonderful and beautiful idea that deserves success, and will
help transform America if it moves forward. Regrettably,
though, for all the usual reasons of fear, there is no one
with any big money or media clout, yet making a foray against
the real-life nightmare of America's courts and prisons. It
remains a taboo subject for the American media, and the media
silence feeds and encourages the whole machine of bribery and
repression.
Perhaps, though, it will not be until after
America has had a major economic or social cataclysm, that the
big American machine of legal corruption finally comes to be
reformed. Sociologically speaking, it's astonishing how
disgraceful American lawyers have become - they are now both
the mafia and the gestapo of American life. America's lawyers,
as a whole, have had little to say about America’s recent
international crimes of prisoner abuse, and violation of
international human rights agreements. American lawyers, as
always nowadays, are "playing the game" with America's
government and its judges. America, indeed, does not have the
rule of law at all. Instead, it is just the rule of lawyers,
lawyers who crave money and power. And, in America, it can be
jail or worse for anyone who tries to fight these lawyers. The
reality of the United States of America is that Americans,
despite their overall wealth as a nation, are now a people
living in a society of great fear. Their fears are
complicated, and many Americans cannot even put their fears
into words. They are afraid of lawyers and the prison system,
afraid of losing their jobs in a brutal society with no social
safety net, afraid of needing health care in a disastrous
system with no health plan. And Americans are afraid of what
will happen if they try to question the system and the way
things work. They often feel helpless and powerless against
the great forces dominating their country. American citizens
are confused and fearful, and gullible to propaganda. Because
Americans have difficulty in sorting out their many fears,
they have become ripe candidates for racial and religious
hatreds, and for following their government into war. The
issues of "terrorism" and war distract the emotions of
Americans from the terrible problems in their own society at
home. The foreign "enemy" gives Americans a face on which to
project their fear and their anger. The result is the
horrifying misconduct of some Americans in these wars; while
back inside the USA, there is increasing corruption and
repression in the legal system. Americans desperately would
like to believe that they still live in a "free" country, as
it is so horrifying to them to face the ugly truth, that their
freedom is already largely lost. Americans can imagine they
are "free" because they can still choose among different
products to buy, or quit their job, or buy a gun at the store.
And the Americans most likely to imagine they are still "free"
are the ones who have not yet been trapped in the halls of
America’s legal system. They have not yet seen the lawyers and
judges who smirk and laugh as they deny victims the most basic
human rights. The truth is that, inside America, a nightmare
has begun. The lawyers and judges and courts, "playing the
game", regularly trample upon the freedoms that Americans
thought they had. It is people like myself, escaped from the
USA, living in kinder and gentler places, who are now the
lucky ones. No one should ever again be fooled by USA
propaganda about being the "land of freedom". Those who are
thinking of travelling to, visiting, or working in America,
should think again. It might not be worth the risk of being in
a country that has one of the most crooked legal systems in
the world.
