Lawless America Interviews Mary Neal (2 videos)

Government murders of mentally ill people should be loudly protested worldwide. Murdering one's own citizens should not be contested only in totalitarian countries. From now on, whenever you hear that America will attack a country for killing its own citizens, please think of the secret arrest and Wrongful Death of Larry Neal http://WrongfulDeathOfLarryNeal.com  and the deaths of Kelly Thomas, Tim Souders, Sean LeVert and all the other emotionally and mentally disturbed people who were killed in the USA by police. When you hear that Americans have freedom of speech/press, consider my videos at http://youtube.com/jkempp703 that show real time cyberstalking to keep Larry's murder covered up and prevent my advocacy for other prisoners. Thank you.

Herbert Overton, Jr. - Sick, Homeless Veteran

HERBERT OVERTON, JR. was a college student who decided to volunteer for military service primarily for the college benefits. In 2001, he went to basic training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. About the third week, there was an incident involving Private Overton's drill sargent, according to Overton's mother.  Rose reports that the sargeant choked her son to the point of unconsciousness, and Overton awoke in a locked room. He was reportedly kept there for three or four days, then transferred to a military hospital. Overton's family was allowed to transfer him to a private hospital in Virginia - a mental hospital. Overton was emotionally distressed and cried a great deal after his experience. There may have been a lack of oxygen flow to the brain that caused Overton permanent damage. That began his mental illness, which continues today.

Dog Justice for the Mentally Ill

Overton could no longer function as he did before going into the military - before his alleged attack by the drill sargeant. He applied for and received veterans benefits. He would cry often and say, "They're putting voices in my head." For numerous years, Overton was in and out of mental hospitals. Rose said he also attempted to self-medicate with marijuana. He was married for a year or two, but the marriage failed. Overton would do well for extended periods, then he would experience another crisis.

In 2008, Overton's life changed for the worse. Rose reports that Overton's grandmother gained guardianship over him through fraud. Rose's mother presented a Power of Attorney to the Department of Veterans Affairs and started receiving Overton's monthly disability benefits. Overton's grandmother also used the Power of Attorney to gain access to Overton's bank account, but she did not use his VA benefits or his savings for his care, according to Rose.

With his income stopped, Overton reportedly stayed with his mother from September 2008 until June 2009, then he went to New York to speak with someone in the Veterans Administration about his benefits. Rose reports that she received a phone call from the VA while Overton was there, and a man told her that he would not help Overton, who disclaimed ever signing a Power of Attorney to his grandmother. After that, Overton was basically homeless. Rose reports that Overton's grandmother collects roughly $2,300 per month for his care, but Overton receives none of the funds and has not since his grandmother was assigned his benefits.

In August 2010, Overton was arrested following a confrontation with a nurse at a VA hospital and wound up in a mental hospital again. The case is/was U.S.A. v. Overton, case number 11-7728, in the United States 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. Overton's attorney is/was Stacy A. Phipps, Esq. It is difficult for Rose to help her son, since her mother has his Power of Attorney.

It is unfortunate that people can gain Power of Attorney over veterans and leave them homeless. If you can help, please email Rose at ImaniVictory@gmail.com

Police Victims Mostly Mentally Ill

An investigation by the Portland Press Herald and Maine Sunday Telegram has found that a disturbingly high percentage of individuals shot by police suffer from mental health problems. There are no federal statistics on police shootings of mentally ill people, but according to the investigation published this week, “a review of available reports indicates that at least half of the estimated 375 to 500 people shot and killed by police each year in this country have mental health problems.” Read the balance of the story in this article: http://www.africanglobe.net/headlines/people-shot-police-mentally-ill-investigation-finds/

The Mentally Challenged in Solitary

Over 60% of the inmates in solitary confinement in America are mentally ill people. More than 80% of prisoners in "shu" are black. Solitary confinement has made some sane people "crazy." Now there are lawsuits over the loss of sanity by persons who are tortured this way. See an excerpt from an Atlantic article below about an inmate, Jack Powers, who lost his mind and started self-mutilating after being sentenced to solitary confinement.

Dog Justice for the Mentally Ill

An American Gulag: Descending into Madness at Supermax, by Andrew Cohen
A detailed new federal lawsuit alleges chronic abuse and neglect of mentally ill prisoners at America’s most famous prison.

... [Inmate Jack Powers] sits today in Supermax. Powers had amputated his fingers, a testicle, his scrotum and his earlobes, has cut his Achilles tendon, and had tried several times to kill himself. Those tattoos you see? Powers had none until 2009, when he started mutilating with a razor and carbon paper. He did much of this — including biting off his pinkie and cutting skin off his face — in the Control Unit at ADX while prison officials consistently refused to treat his diagnosed mental illness. Rules are rules, prison officials told him, and no prisoners in that unit were to be given psychotropic medicine no matter how badly they needed it.



Jesus Christ's Christmas in Solitary
At Christmastime it seems so cold
to lock sick people in the hole
Mental illness is their crime
Over a million doing hard time

We sing carols about Emanuel
and His blessed Mother Mary
But Jesus' left the manger now
He's locked in solitary

"Whatever you do to the least of these,
you do also to me"
Christ shivers in His lonely cell
Every sick prisoner is He

What will we do to rescue our Lord
and save Him from His plight?
God gave His Son to restore us all
Let's treat His brethren right

My poem, "Jesus Christ's Christmas in Solitary," is published at this HubPages link http://goo.gl/9xbPQ . The poem and article regard the horror of solitary confinement and was published in  December 2010 to urge your help to decriminalize mental illness and end the loneliness of prison isolation, particularly for sick people. Many prisoners are physically sick, also. The governor of Mississippi released the Scott sisters from their long incarceration in 2010 because one sister needed a kidney transplant that the other sister could provide (the state had denied them the surgery as prisoners). The Scott sisters were serving double life sentences for a theft conviction they denied having done and had already served 15 years. God said the merciful shall inherit mercy, and the governor was kind to release them. I wish he had pardoned the Scott sisters or that the new governor would. You may be able to access more of my poetry by browsing Google for "Mary Neal's 21st Century Slave Songs."

I am America's most censored person because I advocate to decriminalize mental illness and expose the murder of my mentally, physically disabled brother who was killed while under secret arrest in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003. I also expose The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm fraud against its clients (usually blacks) who the law firm often pretends to represent after police violence while working to reduce or eliminate any payout by government entities. When I went to HubPages to retrieve a link to my JESUS CHRIST'S CHRISTMAS IN SOLITARY poem, I discovered that my profile page says I only have five articles printed at HubPages instead of the 16 articles I actually published there. Recently, HubPages was merged or was bought by Glam, and it only shows the articles with high ratings. My "Jesus Christ's Christmas in Solitary" is a seasonal piece, which affects ratings. I hope you will access it and share it with others this Season. I also hope that HubPages will change the status on my profile page to say the five articles that show represent  "a selection of" my articles instead of  "all." That is misleading.

See all 16 of my HubPages articles listed at this JUSTICE GAGGED blog link
http://justicegagged.blogspot.com/2012/08/mary-neals-hubpages-archive.html  - There would be 17 if HubPages editors had not unpublished my article that reveals the decrepit state of the juvenile justice system, called "Juvenile Justice: Kids 4 Cash" at this lin http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2011/03/juvenile-justice-kids-4-cash.html  which I republished in my MaryLovesJustice blog.

I started my EXPOSED: FREE SPEAK BLOG because CoIntelPro took over my Care2 website called Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill at http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/aimi    First, the cyberstalkers would surreptitiously remove posts that my 300 members and I published. Then it became a struggle to publish anything that exposed prison profiteering, wrongful executions, child abuse in correctional facilities, and brutality and murders of mentally ill persons, whether incarcerated or not. Visit "Exposed: Free Speak Blog" at this link http://FreeSpeakBlog.blogspot.com  - One thing I noticed since becoming an advocate for the mentally ill is that Caucasian patients are killed and brutalized as prisoners or by police during lunacy arrests just as blacks and others are. However, when it becomes impossible to cover up Caucasians' deaths, their families are awarded wrongful death compensation. As a black family, the media helps to hide Larry Neal's murder. The Cochran Firm, which we contracted with as our wrongful death attorneys, helped to cover up Larry's death. It appears that even the federal government became an accessory after the fact. I am so disappointed. Racism is like a mental disease.

Double Murder/Suicide in CA Senior Home

Three people died recently in double murder/suicide in California at the Golden West Tower, a senior home. Residents and the staff had complained about the elderly shooter, saying that Chuck acted strange, but no one acted on their complaints. People who suffer from mental diseases are much more likely to be harmed than to do harm, but ignoring mental illness endangers the entire community. Tragedies often happen when mental illness goes untreated. Sometimes, soldiers on the battlefield experience a mental meltdown like Sgt. John Russell did in May 2009. Should signs of PTSD be ignored and soldiers remain armed in combat zones, endangering our troops? Sgt. Russell shot five of his fellow servicemembers in Baghdad and was charged with murder. Cho Seung-Hui, the Virginia Tech shooter who killed 33 people, including himself, had a history of mental illness. But nothing was done when Cho's college professor warned about Cho's apparent mental state. America's list of avoidable disasters is lengthy. People die because of the "danger to self and other" rule that usually bars enforced psychiatric treatment in the absence of a dripping knife or smoking gun. See an excerpt from the news report about the avoidable tragedy at Golden West Tower below.

 Dog Justice for the Mentally Ill and Their Communities

Three Dead in Murder/Suicide in California Senior Center (AP) -- Three people died Tuesday in what appears to be a double murder-suicide at a senior citizens' high-rise south of Los Angeles, police said.A man in his 80s apparently shot two women shortly after noon before turning the gun on himself. Police are still investigating the man's motive, but residents and staff from the senior center told NBC4 that the man had been behaving erratically, and many of them were seeking to have him kicked out of the complex.

"People knew that he was a little bit off," Golden Tower employee Alex Galindo told the TV station. "People were warned, but nobody did anything, so I know there's going to be blood on a lot of people's hands. That's all I can say at this point."

In the video at the link below, Chuck was described as being an "unstable, violent, angry man who was feared by residents and staff members alike." More information about the senior center shootings is at the second link. See also links below that carry news about the Virginia Tech Massacre and about Sgt. Russell's mental meltdown in Iraq during his third consecutive tour of duty.

Save Sgt. Russell Petition Launched by AIMI
http://www.nowpublic.com/health/save-sgt-russel-petition-launched-aimi

Fairness for acute mental patients means making timely treatment available. However, it is unwise to rely on people to make rational health decisions while experiencing psychiatric crises. A condition called Anosognosia makes it impossible for acute mental patients to recognize their own illness and seek or willingly accept treatment. When in crisis, family members or authorities must be allowed to help keep sick people and communities safe by authorizing involuntary commitment. One of the main reasons why acute mental patients revolve in and out of jails and prisons is because Anosognosia makes patients feel they do not need to stay on their psychiatric medications and keep appointments with their health care providers once they are freed from incarceration or hospitalization. In 2012, the U.S. Department of Justice certified assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) programs, which combine mandated psychiatric treatment and subsistence assistance. Learn more about AOT programs and Anosognosia at the website for Treatment Advocacy Center http://www.treatmentadvocacycenter.org/ . Treatment for mental illness must stop being withheld until after crimes. If people in crisis do commit crimes because their symptoms were ignored, they do not deserve to be imprisoned for behavior that arose out of their disability. Society can avoid tragedies like the three deaths at Golden West Tower by (1) making it easier to commit people in crisis to inpatient hospitals for evaluation and treatment, and (2) using mandatory AOT programs to maintain mental health for acute patients upon release from hospitals and prisons or jails.

Most stories in DogJustice blog are about brutality against acute mental patients. Please see the blog's index for titles. Thanks for your interest in creating safe environments for America's most vulnerable citizens and for communities at large.

Mentally Ill Man Freed after 30 years Wrongful Conviction

Police hid evidence to wrongfully convict a mentally ill black man for murder. George Allen was freed after 30 years in a Missouri prison. Some police officers and prosecutors are content to close cases by lying on minorities and mentally ill Americans. It is relatively easy to extract false confessions from children and mentally ill people. See the VIDEO at this link http://goo.gl/icdfG   

Dog Justice for the Mentally Ill
Dogs have more advocates and better protection under the law than
mentally challenged Americans.

George Allen was incarcerated 30 years for a rape and murder, but thanks to hard work by the Innocence Project, he is a free man today. The prosecutors sought death in Allen's case, but a juror had to leave jury duty on an emergency. Otherwise, Allen might be DEAD  http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/old-st-louis-police-cases-need-scrutiny-lawyers-for-released/article_c6985f47-74df-521c-9c33-dc29bb1d2f9c.html



There should be two links above this line. Censorship is applied to stories of wrongful convictions, especially with the factors that such as George Allen faced: (1) deliberate falsification by police and prosecutors; (2) wrongful death penalty; (3) racism; and (4) a mentally or physically challenged victim.

After Allen was freed, he had lunch with his mother, Lonzetta Taylor (pictured below). More cases may be examined that were investigated by the same detective who withheld information to win Allen's wrongful conviction.
  
Repeat of Paragraph 1 -- Police hid evidence to wrongfully convict a mentally ill black man for murder. George Allen was freed after 30 years in a Missouri prison.

Mitrice Richardson: Another Police Cover-up?

MITRICE RICHARDSON - a beautiful 24-year-old college graduate disappeared after her release from jail custody near Los Angeles, California in 2009. Who can prove she was ever really released? Mitrice's story was on "Disappeared" on Mon. Nov. 20, 2012, at 10:00 p.m. ET on ID. Larry Neal's family was told he was not incarcerated in Memphis/Shelby County Jail for 18 days. His social worker and family were continuously told lies: "Larry Neal is not in custody." The morning Larry died, August 1, 2003, police finally admitted to Larry's family that he had been in jail during his entire time "missing." Nine years after Larry Neal's secret jail death, the government REFUSES to say how they killed Larry Neal, but his sister is stalked and censored to prevent disclosure about his murder under secret arrest. Timothy "Bulldog" Allen disappeared after talking with police on a bridge in St. Joseph, Michigan in November 2011. Police refused to drag the lake when Allen's family and community searched for him, but his body surfaced in the lake a month later. What is happening to black people who experience mental health problems? Mitrice Richardson's bones were found in the desert a year after her "disappearnce." Police claim they released her on foot at 1:30 a.m., a few hours after her arrest, but is that the truth? Mitrice Richardson's disappearance in or after police custody is far from being an isolated incident. See "Patrick Toney - Death in Custody After Mental Breakdown" http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2012/04/patrick-toney-death-in-custody-after.html Are mentally ill black people being treated as expendable like the 300,000 mentally challenged people who were Nazi Germany's first Holocaust victims?

Hear a recording at this link of Mitrice Richardson's mother asking police not to release her daughter until morning when she could come and get her (Huffington Post): "WOMAN KILLED AFTER RELEASE FROM POLICE CUSTODY" http://goo.gl/IXAE0 . Mitrice Richardson's mother is heard telling police that Mitrice did not have her car and should not be released in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar area. Police claimed that is exactly what they did, but did they really? The censorship force that was hired to contain my advocacy for justice for America's mentally ill people fought me about publishing news about Mitrice Richardson's disappearance. They refused to let her photographs show on the link to the petition for a federal investigation that was launched after her "disappearance." Cyber stalkers prevented my posting news about Mitrice Richardson at Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI) site at Care2 several times, but I was persistent and finally got the news to post. Why did [government?] cyberstalkers want to interfere with my posting news about Mitrice and her missing poster? I captured much of the interference I encountered reporting Mitrice's disappearance on videotape.

Mitrice Richardson's post kept disappearing from AIMI like this video that proves cyberstalkers prevented my right to advocate for Medicaid to be resumed as insurance for mentally ill inpatients H.R.619 Advocacy Censored at AIMI   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTnBUYoJtk4  At Care2, Mary Neal's video captured censorship regarding H.R.619 - the congressional bill introduced by Rep. Eddie Johnson in Jan. 2009 to resume Medicaid for mentally ill Americans to have hospital insurance. Medicaid was removed as a funding source for mental hospitalization decades ago, and it led to 1.25 million sick people being incarcerated today. H.R.619 has zero news coverage despite its relevance to milions, and Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill members are censored when we post info about the bill online. I am usually censored no matter what human rights issue I write about at Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI) at http://www.Care2.com/c2c/group/AIMI  - It often takes many tries before posting news, especially advocacy for H.R.619 and anti-death penalty reports.

Mitrice Richardson's parents received a $900,000 settlement after suing police for negligence. Was it really negligence or wrongful death? Did police murder Mitrice Richardson? Listen to the tape, and make your own decision http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/20/disappeared-killed-after-police-custody-video_n_2163838.html

Officer Sentenced: Beat Mentally Ill Man to Death

All he wanted was a Snickers bar. Instead, the mentally ill janitor (pictured) was beaten to death by police. Officer Karl F. Thompson Jr., 65, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Fred Van Sickle to four years and three months for his role in the 2006 death of Otto Zehm, a mentally disabled janitor who was killed after being erroneously suspected of stealing money from an ATM.

George Allen: Wrongly Convicted Mentally Ill Inmate in Missouri

Police hid evidence to wrongfully convict a mentally ill black man for murder. George Allen was freed after 30 years in a Missouri prison. Police withheld evidence that indicated Allen's innocence, and the prosecutor went for the death penalty. Allen might have been killed if a juror had not had an emergency and could not finish the trial. Some police officers and prosecutors are content to close cases by lying on minorities and mentally ill Americans. It is relatively easy to extract false confessions from children the mentally ill.

SF Mental Health Board: No Tasers for SFPD

On Wednesday, November 14, 2012, The San Francisco Mental Health Board passed a resolution urging the San Francisco Police Commission and San Francisco Police Department to oppose the adoption of electroshock weapons, or Tasers, for SFPD Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) officers. See the video on YouTube at this link http://youtu.be/5br06cJ3QBw In public comment, 99-1/2 percent strongly opposed Tasers in cops hands. Mesha Irizarry, of Idriss Stelly Foundation, wrote the proposal with final edits by MHB secretary, David Elliot Lewis.



Mesha Irizarry's only child, Idriss Stelly, an college honor student, was killed in a hail of 46 bullets during a mental health crisis in 2002. He suffered from bipolar disorder.

People on the video make reference to the Memphis Crisis Intervention Program. My schizophrenic brother, Larry Neal, was secretly arrested for 18 days and murdered in Memphis, Tennessee in 2003, but care is given to censor the story about Larry Neal's murder by his government. Therefore, the San Francisco Mental Health Board may not know about the many police shootings and jail deaths that happen in Memphis to mentally ill people. The latest such killing happened in summer 2012 to Christian Freeman, a 19-year-old schizophrenic youth, whose story is included in an article in this blog called "Don't Become 'Nazi America.'" See an excerpt below:


MPD continues to kill the mentally ill. The most recent of nine people killed by Memphis police so far in 2012 was Christian Freeman, 19, a paranoid schizophrenic. He was shot to death on June 12 about 1:40a.m. behind FedEx Forum near Fourth and Beale. Police claim Freeman charged at two officers with a knife and they shot him to death. That was Freeman's second encounter with police. He spent a month in a mental health ward after allegedly yelling and making obscene gestures at police officers in April 2012. Freeman's uncle in Texas, Todd Jones, said police should have tried to incapacitate and restrain Freeman rather than shooting him. Memphis Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) is used as a model for intervention services regarding arrests of mentally ill people, but Memphis police do not use it. If his mother tries to sue the police department, will she become a gangstalking target, too? See the article at the "MEMPHIS POLICE BODY COUNT" link

Re: Secret Arrest and Wrongful Death of Larry Neal and Subsequent Cover-up


I have read with interest how police departments all over the country are modeling their police departments after the Memphis CIT model. I suppose it may be partly to protect this image that my family is the only American family in the 21st Century to have a member secretly arrested and returned to his family as a corpse with no explanation, apology, excuse, arrest records, inquest, or investigation. At least, I certainly hope this is an uncommon tragedy and denial of due process of law.

The Memphis CIT has never explained how Larry Neal, a life-long mentally ill heart patient, could be secretly arrested in mid-July 2003, incarcerated for 18 days while his family and social worker looked for him as a missing person while Shelby County Jail repeatedly and falsely denied having him incarcerated, until he died of a fatal heart attack.


The Memphis CIT has never explained why The (Johnny) Cochran Firm, which was managed by Julian Bolton, Esq., 20+year Shelby County Commissioner and past Chairman, would then contract with my family to act as our wrongful death attorneys against Shelby County Jail, withholding from my family information about Bolton's position with our intended defendant, the jail where Larry died.


The Memphis CIT has never explained why Shelby County Jail neglected to send the Department of Justice an inmate fatality report regarding Larry Neal's death, when the jail was already under suit by the USA for previous violations of inmates' civil rights, and was required to send such inmate fatality reports under the terms of its Agreement with the USA.


Larry's family believes that his death was actually a euthanasia followed by an elaborate cover-up between The Cochran Firm and others to keep his wrongful death case out of court. Interested parties have also managed to keep his death and his family's quest for justice out of mainstream media, which likely would have led to investigation and closure for his family.


For years, I have written to

Shelby County Government officials,
the U.S. Justice Department,
Tennessee representatives,
including the governor,
United States Senators and Congressmen,
mental health organizations,
civil rights organizations,
and civic leaders about Larry's death,
the denial of any investigation and accountability.

No one has come forward with any investigation or reports to date -- over four years after Larry's death. At this point, the shroud of secrecy seems impenetrable to the point that Larry's family would be skeptical of any reports that ensued from an investigation.


We have sued The Cochran Firm twice to recover damages for tricking my family while under contract as Larry's wrongful death attorneys (secret conflict of interest, fraud, malpractice),
and we are hopeful of getting answers during discovery of our present suit in USDC, Northern District of Gerogia. On our first attempt to sue The Cochran Firm, we served the suit to the firm's advertised Atlanta office, the law office that conducted our initial client intake interview the day Larry died.

Strangely, this law office which was widely advertised as The Cochran Firm's Atlanta office on television, MARTA, Internet, Bell phone books, etc., had our suit dismissed in May 2006 by claiming it is no part of The Cochran Firm. Larry's family certainly hopes that nothing so fantastic will happen in our pending USDC case against this law firm.


CIT is a good idea, and I hope it benefits mentally ill citizens in the Memphis area and around the country. However, when there is a failure in the system, as evidenced by Larry Neal's secret incarceration and wrongful death, that failure should not be covered up at the expense of justice.

My comment at YouTube that was prevented at the video about the SF Board of Mental Health's resolution:

Why does the video on SF Board of Mental Health praise Memphis Crisis Intervention (CIT) program? Don't they know about the continuous police shootings of mentally ill people in Memphis and the murder of Larry Neal while under 18 days of secret arrest? See http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2012/11/sf-mental-health-board-no-tasers-for.html . That is why it is important to expose police violence on PressTV, Lawless America, and my book Cochran Firm Fraud. Hiding deaths reduces security.

Terrorism to Stop Lawless America Filming Mary Neal

Bill Windsor, they killed another mentally ill inmate like they murdered my brother, Larry Neal, after 18 days of secret arrest in Memphis Shelby County Jail. This one was in Tulsa, and he died of untreated blunt force trauma to the head and/or starvation and dehydration. Incarcerating the mentally ill for prison profits is the most corrupt practice in America's penal system, and they kill some without accountability OFTEN. Former Vice President Chaney and Attorney Gen Gonzales were indicted for ignoring prison abuse in 2008 in Willacy County, Texas. They did not go to trial, but the D.A. who brought the indictment did. (Google Juan Guerra, now a Texas defense attorney).
 

Paragraph 2 of 11  -- I know it is frightening to expose officials in the highest echelons of government who may be misusing their positions to make money from corrupt police departments and prisons by withholding investigations after murders and abuses, but I hope Lawless America will carry the story of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill for the sake of 1.25 million mentally ill inmates who should be in hospitals or community care programs, depending on their offenses and suitability to live outside a controlled environment. Yes, they send stalkers to harass you and send death threats via cyberterror. But no story about corruption in America is complete without telling about the secret arrest and murder of Larry Neal and his family's gangstalking and terrorism after asking for accountability and lawsuit against The Cochran Firm frauds. Americans deserve a consumer report regarding the law firm that operates in Johnnie Cochran's name and defrauds its own clients to help police and jails escape accountability after murders of black people. When I told mainstream media companies The Cochran Firm had Judge Wendy Shoob in Georgia Superior Court to declare falsely that there is no Cochran Firm office in the state of Georgia, the media companies said, "So what?" They will never warn people about this CoIntelPro operation.

Paragraph 3 of 11 -- I write this because of your announcement, "LAWLESS AMERICA MOVIE IS CHANGING ITS SCHEDULE FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY REASONS" http://goo.gl/RRKoE . I had hoped my nightmare of being stalked and censored to contain my advocacy would end on November 22, when I was to be interviewed for "Lawless America - The Movie." Now they have you going into hiding for security. Another documentary I was interviewed in regarding the secret arrest and murder of Larry Neal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=584tgKJwobY was recorded by PressTV in June 2012, but it has not yet been released. See the short promo film on systemic racism that continually victimizes Africans in America, especially those who have other issues like poverty or mental illness. The mentally ill comprise 60% of those inmates who awakened in solitary confinement today, and 80% of inmates who are tortured in 9 foot x 6 foot solitary cells are blacks. What is particularly tragic is that America has between 5,000 and 10,000 wrongful convictions every year, according to a recent study. Inmates earn prison investors the same fee, whether innocent or guilty.

Paragraph 4 of 11 -- No movie about injustice is complete without telling about mental hospitals being closed across America to leave sick people homeless and later arrest them for crimes from vagrancy to murders in order to get the nation's first generation of private prisons started. They are kept full today by victimizing other mental patients over the next 40 years. Municipalities contract with private prisons to maintain prisons at a certain occupancy level, and incarcerating the mentally ill in America is the main way this contractual obligation is met.

Paragraph 5 of 11 -- I spoke with a distraught mother last night - Ms. Goolsby. She has two sons, both are mentally ill inmates who were incarcerated as teens. Police told her that some thugs took advantage of her oldest son's mental illness and used him as a lookout during a robbery. He is in prison now being raped and beaten by other inmates when he should have been sent to a hospital. Her youngest son was arrested for masturbation. He was visiting his dad, who Ms. Goolsby said has always been ashamed of his sick son and grew tired of paying child support for him. Her ex had another son who was younger than the mentally ill teen. The youngster walked into a room where Ms. Goolsby's son was masturbating and watching a sex tape his dad had left in the VCR. The dad pressed charges, saying his mentally ill son exposed himself to his younger child. Both of Ms. Goolsby's sons are in Georgia prisons. Like many mentally ill inmates, they face abuse from inmates and guards, and their sentences may be lengthened for failure to follow prison rules because they are sick and not always in control of their actions (especially when not medicated) and are slow to understand instructions.  

Paragraph 6 of 11 -- The oldest son should have been released in 2012, but now the prison told Ms. Goolsby he has to stay until June 2013. In June, they may say another year - and another. One mentally ill youth in Los Angeles who was arrested after he threw a chair through his mom's window may get life in prison because he threatened the judge and a prison guard with light rays from Mars. They called it a "terrorist threat." This is how prison investors make money off the mentally ill. Even if they are arrested for misdemeanors, they may end up in prison for life.  

Paragraph 7 of 11 -- My testimony is about Larry Neal's murder under secret arrest and the elaborate government cover-up that has lasted nine years by lawyer fraud, censorship, cyberterror, gangstalking, cooperation from the sold-out media companies, and payoffs to public officials who joined the conspiracy to deny my family's civil rights and became accessories to the murder after the fact. But it is also about all the mentally ill people who are wrongly victimized in and by the injustice system - Kelly Thomas, who was murdered by six Fullerton, California police officers who beat the homeless mentally ill man to death before witnesses; Tim Souders, who was died of dehydration on a Michigan jail's restraint table where he was left for four days without food or water; Sean LeVert, the entertainer who was killed in a restraint chair while arrested for child support, and many others.

Paragraph 8 of 11 -- Today George Allen, a mentally ill inmate from Missouri's death row, will be released from prison, where he has languished for 30 years for a crime that the DNA test he was finally allowed to take proved he did not do. Thank God for the Innocence Project and all of its financial supporters. The Missouri District Attorney challenged Allen's right to go free even after proving actual innocence. That shows how corrupt our justice system is more than anything - the fact that courts are under no obligation to consider post conviction evidence to stop executions or release inmates who lose their youth behind bars working as prison slaves for crimes they did not do. It is wrong for the inmates, their families and communities, and wrong for taxpayers to pay to execute or rehabilitate innocent people. I am an abolitionist who has big problems communicating with the world about wrongful executions. Every execution that happens without irrefutable proof of guilt is wrong, and no state should ignore the law and execute mentally ill people and those with low I.Q. scores, but they do. Consider the case of poor Andre Thomas who is literally eating his own body parts on Texas death row. So far, the poor mentally ill man ate both his eyes.  

Paragraph 9 of 11 -- Three minutes on "Lawless America - The Movie" will not be enough time to tell about the denial of civil and human rights that my family endured after Larry Neal's secret arrest and murder or adequately explain the corruption that victimizes mentally ill Americans and their families, but I would like to try. Most Americans are decent, compassionate people. Therefore, testifying about these crimes may do more than merely expose corruption in government and the judiciary, which is the stated goal for "Lawless America - The Movie." I believe that once the public realizes these crimes against humanity are happening in their names and with their tax dollars, many innocent lives will be saved - maybe my own.

Paragraph 10 of 11 -- I am a non-violent Christian who would never hurt anyone. But I am not above taking a basket of pine cones from my backyard and throwing them at the windows of the court-declared "nonexistent" Cochran Firm law office in downtown Atlanta if it will end my terrorism and censorship - even if cops Taser and arrest me like they threatened to do in 2010 for exposing my brother's lynching and The Cochran Firm fraud against black families after police kill their mentally disabled or elderly relatives. They won't let me before a jury in civil court, but throwing pine cones should get me before one in criminal court. I am just that sick of the FEMA camp they have made of my home - taking over my computers, telephones, and sending stalkers to follow me to monitor and control computers I access at Kinkos or the public library. I cannot let it continue. I say with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Patrick Henry, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" I will have someone to follow me while I enter a building with a metal detector and trail me to the Cochran Firm building so they cannot lie and say I threw something else. Still, the Taser might kill me if Atlanta police do what they threaten, because I have a heart murmur. If they kill me, publish my work, and continue to give ASSISTANCE TO THE INCARCERATED MENTALLY ILL. Family, publish my book manuscripts right away, and don't worry about me. Jesus is my Lord.

Starving Mental Patients in U.S. Jails

Elliott Williams, 37, a mentally ill black man, died in a Tulsa, Oklahoma jail cell where he was kept for days without food or water. He was dead within five days of his incarceration.
Dog Justice Is Needed for America's Mentally Ill Citizens

In a horrific story out of Oklahoma, lawyers representing the estate of a prisoner who was found dead in the Tulsa Jail have sued the local sheriff’s office and the jail’s private health care provider. In a motion just filed in federal court, attorneys have asked a judge to release a video made of the man’s final two days, during which he allegedly languished in an isolation cell without food, water, or medical attention.

Elliott Earl Williams, 37, was pronounced dead in his cell at 11:21 a.m. Oct. 27, 2011, after allegedly going days without food and water.

According to the motion seeking release of the video and related documents, Williams–who had exhibited signs of mental illness–tried to hurt himself and ran into a steel door head-first after being placed in a booking cell upon arrival at the jail October 22.  Read more about Williams' murder at this link http://solitarywatch.com/2012/11/05/mentally-ill-man-dies-injured-and-alone-in-a-tulsa-jail-cell/


This writer does not know if Williams died of an untreated head injury caused by running into a steel door or by dehydration and starvation. Another mentally ill man was arrested in October 2011 and emerged from incarceration in a body bag. Carlos Umana, a schizophrenic youth, starved to death after four months in a Utah jail. See the excerpt below from an article I published in my MaryLovesJustice blog about his demise:

The Salt Lake City Tribune reports that a young prisoner who apparently suffered from serious mental illness died of starvation and dehydration after spending four months in the Salt Lake County Jail, much of them in solitary confinement. Carlos Umana, 20, weighed at 180 pounds when he entered the jail in October 2011; when he died on February 27, 2012 he weighed just 77 pounds (see photographs below). Tests showed that none of his prescribed psychiatric drugs were in his system at the time of his death.

after starvation in jail

As a teenager, Umana was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. According to the Tribune, his mother, Tammy Martinez, said that Umana had stopped taking his medication in the fall. Then he started hearing voices and thinking people were poisoning him. "Umana was so concerned about people poisoning him," she said, "that he started preparing all his own food." (Continue reading about Carlos at "Mass Incarceration and Murders of America's Mental Patients - Utah Story" http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2011/06/mass-incarceration-and-murders-of.html  )

My mentally ill brother, Larry Neal, died after 18 days of secret arrest in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003 http://WrongfulDeathofLarryNeal.com . Our family does not know if Larry was starved to death, Tasered, brutalized, or killed in a restraint chair, because his death is a government cover-up, and my family is denied any release of records. Since that time, I have endeavored to alert the world as to how mentally ill people and their families are mistreated. Homelessness, prison, and death must cease to be our response to mental illness, a common, treatable health condition. Please see more stories in this blog and also visit Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill at http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/aimi . America presently has 1.25 million mentally ill people incarcerated. I would especially appreciate it if someone would check on and please help Rodriguez Nelson, who was given a 56-year sentence for having a fight with his girlfriend. http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2012/03/rodriguez-nelson-56-yr-sentence-for.html

Williams, Umana, and Larry all had documented mental health issues, but not every person who experiences a mental health crisis does. Some people snap under the strain of economic hardships and other life-changing stresses. Unfortunately, many people who break under pressure do not live through a lunacy arrest. Police should apprehend mentally challenged persons without resorting to deadly force. Consider the case of Dejuan Eaton. Fremont police shot Eaton as he allegedly chased his wife with a knife from their apartment while he was naked on November 4. See an excerpt of a news article about his death:

DEJUAN EATON, 37, had just received the news that his 18-year-old brother had accidentally shot himself in the head while handling a loaded firearm earlier that evening, according to his father, Alonzo Eaton. It was at that time that Dejuan Eaton, described as a loving, family man, was pushed to his limit.

"He had just lost his grandfather last Thursday, then to hear about his brother, it blew him over the edge," Alonzo Eaton said Tuesday. "I lost two sons within an hour of each other." (Read more at this link http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_21940151/fremont-authorities-identify-naked-san-jose-man-shot )
 
Our condolences to the families of Umana and Williams. Both these deaths resulted in lawsuits that burden taxpayers for brutal treatment under the color of law. Luckily, the families found attorneys who filed their lawsuits, unlike the Neal family. We contracted with The Cochran Firm, which pretended to act as our wrongful death attorneys but held Larry's wrongful death case secretly inactive while the Tennessee statute of limitations passed in order to help the jail escape accountability. Google "Cochran Firm Fraud." Condolences for Alonzo Eaton and his family, also.

Mentally Challenged People on Death Row


 
John Errol Ferguson Case: Daniel T.K. Hurley, U.S. District Judge, Grants Stay Of Execution

MIAMI -- A federal judge on Saturday granted a stay of execution for a convicted mass killer in Florida, who is mentally ill and was scheduled to be put to death on Tuesday, October 23, 2012.

U.S. District Judge Daniel T. K. Hurley granted the motion for a stay in the case of John Errol Ferguson, who was to be executed Tuesday after 34 years on Florida's death row ... Ferguson's attorneys maintain he is insane and that the Constitution prohibits the state from executing him.

"The issues raised merit full, reflective consideration," the court said.
.
See the entire article at this link http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/20/john-errol-ferguson-case_n_1994917.html

Many people object to Ferguson being executed because of his schizophrenia. The National Lawyers Guild Disability Rights Committee issued an "Emergency Resolution in Opposition to the Execution of John Ferguson, a Mentally Ill Florida Death Row Inmate" that helps us understand the issue of mental illness and capital punishment. The Committee wrote in part:

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD, MEETING AT ITS OCTOBER 2012 CONVENTION IN PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, condemns in the strongest terms the scheduled execution of John Errol Ferguson, a severely mentally ill African American man who has spent the last 34 years on death row, on the ground that it would be cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution and would also violate international conventions on human rights to which the United States is a party, including the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment; and urges officials in the State of Florida to stop the scheduled execution and commute Mr. Ferguson’s death sentences to life imprisonment.
.
There have been numerous executions of mentally incompetent persons despite the constitutional law against unusual punishment. Jonathan Green, a mentally ill Texan, was killed on October 10. See a report from Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) below:
.
MENTAL ILLNESS: Federal Court Stays Texas Execution Because of Inadequate Hearing

Jonathan Green was scheduled for execution in Texas on October 10, but a federal judge issued a stay because the state did not afford him due process in examining his mental competency. UPDATE: The U.S. Court of Appeals overturned the stay of execution and Green was executed on Oct. 10 as planned.

Don't Let This Become "Nazi America"

Before Nazi Germany started isolating and killing Jews, blacks, political dissidents, and homosexuals, the nation exterminated roughly 300,000 people who were labeled as being mentally ill. Then they killed the physically handicapped and elderly who were not useful to an "efficient nation." Don't become "Nazi America." When dogs are harmed, there is a huge outcry. But when mentally ill people are imprisoned rather than treated in hospitals or community care programs, isolated in solitary confinement torture, subjected to police brutality, or left to fend for themselves and wind up homeless and destitute, too few voices rise in protest. Disregard for human life spreads quickly. Stop crimes against humanity before this becomes "Nazi America."

Don't Become Nazi America

During this week in 2008, I stopped driving. My brother had been kidnapped and murdered by police. I was being followed by up to four vehicles everywhere I went, including government vehicles. My mother and I had sued The Cochran Firm, not knowing it was some pseudo-government agency in place to defraud blacks in Johnnie Cochran's name. We sued the lawyers for pretending to represent us in a wrongful death civil action after Memphis Police secretly arrested and killed my mentally, physically disabled brother, Larry Neal. Since the lawyers tricked us to save the jail where Larry was killed, we sued them for fraud. I started being followed right after our lawsuit was served in January 2008. On September 27 around 9:30 p.m., they trailed my grandson and me from Kroger grocery store for six miles to the neighborhood Chevron station. I pulled in there, thinking they would go away like they normally did when I reached a business with lots of people. But this time, they followed me into the station parking lot and parked. I called 911 from inside the service station, because I had already stopped carrying a cell phone. I discovered months before that night that if I carried a cell phone, I could not lose them. We waited for emergency responders for over an hour, but police never came. My relatives had to come in two cars to rescue us. After I stopped driving, stalkers were moved into homes nearby ours in Stone Mountain, Georgia. I didn't hear the term "gangstalking" for another year. I stayed home after the terrorism and advocate online for acute mental patients to be treated justly and humanely. We planned a lawsuit against conspirators against justice for Larry Neal's murder. They burglarized our house in August 2012 and stole only two boxes of Neals v. The Cochran Firm files from our lawsuits against the CoIntelPro lawyers. There are eleven links in this article.

People who are "different" are in danger in Memphis and elsewhere in the USA. The mentally ill, like my brother was, are killed regularly. People in the GLBT community are also mistreated. Duanna Johnson, a transgender woman, was beaten and sprayed with pepper spray by a Memphis policeman while another officer held her still for the beating in February 2008, because she refused to respond to derogatory commands. No police officers in the intake area protested the brutality. She contracted with attorneys to sue after the video evidencing her brutality went viral, but she was killed several months before the end of Tennessee's statute of limitations, and no lawsuit was filed in her case. Her murder remains unsolved. One attorney who worked in the office with Johnson's lawyers was Julian Bolton, the former managing partner of The Cochran Firm and a Shelby County Commissioner. A few weeks after Duanna died, the U.S. vice president and former attorney general were indicted in Willacy County, Texas for using their government positions to withhold investigations and prosecution in jail deaths and abuse cases. They never went to trial. Every time I post this video, it is removed from the source. See Duanna Johnson's beatdown at this YouTube link and embedded below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IAPTk69XPo




MPD continues to kill the mentally ill. The most recent of nine people killed by Memphis police so far in 2012 was Christian Freeman, 19, a paranoid schizophrenic. He was shot to death on June 12 about 1:40a.m. behind FedEx Forum near Fourth and Beale. Police claim Freeman charged at two officers with a knife and they shot him to death. That was Freeman's second encounter with police. He spent a month in a mental health ward after allegedly yelling and making obscene gestures at police officers in April 2012. Freeman's uncle in Texas, Todd Jones, said police should have tried to incapacitate and restrain Freeman rather than shooting him. Memphis Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) is used as a model for intervention services regarding arrests of the mentally ill, but Memphis police do not use it. If his mother tries to sue the police department, will she become a gangstalking target, too? See the article entitled "MEMPHIS POLICE BODY COUNT" at this link 
http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/memphis-police-body-count.html


Very rarely does a week go by without police killing a mentally ill person somewhere in the United States. Houston police killed a mentally ill double amputee at his care home last week. Police were called to the East End personal care home around 2a.m. after Claunch became agitated because his caretaker refused to give him a soda and a cigarette. Matthew Marin, a five-yr HPD veteran, shot and killed Brian Claunch. Marin, who had fatally shot another suspect in 2009, felt the double amputee who was confined to a wheelchair threatened his and his partner's life. According to police reports, Claunch was armed with a silver writing pen. Continue reading about Brian Claunch and other mentally ill people at "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill. See "Houston Police v. Schizophrenic Amputee" at 
http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2012/09/houston-police-v-schizophrenic-amputee.html


Another mentally ill person was killed by police before I could finish editing this article. New York Police Department gets credit for this death. The mother of Mohamed Bah (left) called 911 on September 26, 2012, after the 27-year-old cab driver and student refused to open the door to his Harlem apartment. Police came, and apparently Bah tried to attack the police officers with a knife. He was shot once in the chest. A tranquilizer gun might work for cases like this. Charging animals are shot with tranquilizers, but sick human beings get live ammo. See a poem I wrote and published online that is probably America's most censored poetry, called "DOG JUSTICE." It was written one night as I watched the news and saw federal agents and police officers comb Michael Vick's ranch regarding dog abuse while the same justice system was working to keep my brother's death covered up. Thousands of people, including this writer, were outraged about the dogs' deaths, but excuse me for thinking people's deaths should count as much or more. (Mohamed Bah's mother and another relative are pictured above on the right). See more information at this link 
http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/09/nypd-fatally-shoots-disturbed-man-after-attack.html

NYPD killed another man who was experiencing an emotional crisis and threatening suicide a few weeks before shooting Mohamed Bah in Harlem:  Walwyn "Smiley" Jackson. On September 7, 26-year-old Jackson was shot by police in Queens. His family had called 911 when they found him holding a kitchen knife to his own throat. Jackson was distraught at being unemployed and unable to provide for his 2-week-old son, Landon. Jackson's grandmother, Gloria Cameron, said in an interview:

"We called 911 because we wanted an ambulance to come to take him to the hospital. He was no threat or harm to anyone but himself. When [the police] came to the door, I didn't want to let them in. They told us to get out of the way and stay downstairs. One of them went for his gun as they went upstairs. I tried to tell them he's sick. I started to cry and then I heard the shot. He never even made a sound." Continue reading the article at this link 

Before Nazi Germany began killing minorities, around 350,000 people who were labeled as mentally ill were first to be isolated and terminated, even children as young as age 2, whether they were Aryan or Jewish. There are currently 1.25 million mentally ill inmates in America. When mentally ill people are killed in public like Kelly Thomas, who was beaten to death by Fullerton, California police officers, those deaths are impossible to cover-up, but cops try. They demand the cameras from people who film their brutality. But people who are arrested first, like Larry Neal was, are not surrounded by people carrying cell phone cameras who will load the videos online. Therefore, Memphis Shelby County Jail returned Larry's dead body and refuse to say how they killed him. Officials at the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ), which was in overview of the jail after a lawsuit to prevent more brutality to inmates, helped the "correctional" facility cover-up Larry's murder, and I am gangstalked and censored to prevent Americans from knowing about the mass arrest and extermination of the country's mentally ill citizens. Nazi Germany had problems hiding the extermination of its mentally ill citizens, also. Nazi officers discussed the problem, and their communication around this issue was saved for posterity. See a selection of letters regarding the huge extermination campaign at my article, "NAZI EXTERMINATION OF MENTALLY DISABLED CITIZENS" in this FreeSpeakBlog at this link

Letter from Dr. Wurm, of the Wuerttemberg Evangelical Provincial Church, to Reich Minister of Interior Dr. Frick, September 5, 1940 ( Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression - Washington, U.S Govt. Print. Off., 1946, Supp. A, p. 1223).

Dear Reich Minister,
On July 19th I sent you a letter about the systematic extermination of lunatics, feeble-minded and epileptic persons. Since then this practice has reached tremendous proportions: recently the inmates of old-age homes have also been included. The basis for this practice seems to be that in an efficient nation there should be no room for weak and frail people. It is evident from the many reports which we are receiving that the people's feelings are being badly hurt by the measures ordered and that the feeling of legal insecurity is spreading which is regrettable from the point of view of national and state interest.

Notice that the letter came from a church. Christians in Germany were acquiescent to the murders just as they are in America today, or there would be protests against police killings of our mentally ill people and their mass incarceration for prison profits. God looses in heaven what we loose on earth, and He binds in heaven what we bind on earth. Silence regarding the victimization of America's mentally ill has loosed a spirit of Nazism in this country. Once the sanctity of human life was disregarded by the government in its exterminations of the mentally ill, Germans began to kill everyone who was handicapped or elderly and therefore not useful to an "efficient nation." Next, Germany exterminated Jews, homosexuals, blacks, and political dissidents in its Final Solution, and a culture of fear and government suppression engulfed the nation for a period of 50 years until the Iron Curtain fell in 1989. Nazism, the spirit of Antichrist, was not only responsible for millions of deaths but also the virtual enslavement of the entire nation, which continued for decades. See how oppressed East Germans lived in a Wikipedia article called "Fall of the Iron Curtain" at this link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Curtain#Fall_of_the_Iron_Curtain . Instead of sending people to concentration camps like Nazi Germany did and the United States plans to do under NDAA, the entire nation was eventually made into one huge camp, and no one was free.

Disregard for human rights in Nazi Germany began with the mass arrest and extermination of the mentally ill just as it did in America, where 1.25 million mentally ill people are prisoners, and many are killed under the color of law on our streets, behind bars, and even in care homes. A concentration camp bill was signed into law December 31, 2011, and biomass incinerators are being erected on or near prison grounds and in African American communities. See an article about the ovens in my article entitled "BIOMASS INCINERATORS FOR BLACK COMMUNITIES" at this link
http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2012/06/biomass-incinerators-for-black.html . Ignoring encroaching Nazism will not make it go away. The Bible says we must submit ourselves to God, RESIST the devil, and he will flee from us (James 4:7). We determine what type of society we live in, for God permits us to choose. It is written:

I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven." 
~Matthew 16:19

Mentally challenged children are also brutalized. At Baldwin South Intermediate School in Quincy, Illinois, a 9-year-old Autistic child was taken from his special needs classroom with bruises all over his face and incarcerated after he was beat up by police. See a report by CopBlock.org  http://www.copblock.org/21538/officer-assaults-and-arrests-9-year-old-boy-with-autism-in-public-school-classroom/  - When this young Autistic child was beaten by police before his classmates and Brian Claunch was shot to death in front of other residents in the Houston care home, it undoubtedly traumatized everyone there and sent a message about their own security in a system that often treats the mentally challenged as "useless eaters" (Hitler's term).

I love America and do not want to see her turn Nazi. If you feel that way, also, please share this article and join the struggle to reinstate the constitutional protections for human rights that Congress, the White House, and our courts have eliminated. No one escapes oppression by being silent about encroaching Nazism. That did not work for the people in Germany, and it will not work in the United States or anyplace. For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

Blessings from Mary Neal, director of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI), sister of slain mentally ill heart patient Larry Neal (See "Wrongful Death of Larry Neal" at this link http://WrongfulDeathOfLarryNeal.com . I am censored, gangstalked, and burglarized in the United States of America to prevent advocacy for human rights for the least among us, His brethren (Matt.25:40), while fascists in police departments and the USDOJ allow, or do, these crimes. There are eleven links in this article. Please select "go to page 1" if you use a cell phone, or saboteurs may prevent your access to paragraph 1. Thanks for your interest in justice issues as relayed by this Christian human rights advocate. My condolences to every bereaved family discussed in this article.
