In support of HJR 15, honoring U.S. Sen. Stevens

The Alaska Legislature is considering House Joint Resolution 15, a resolution honoring U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, and condemning the Department of Justice’s decision not to punish his case’s two federal prosecutors. This resolution is well crafted and to the point. And that point is that judicial system and government corruption needs to be heavily rejected publically.

However, if by the power of God our Sen. Stevens could arise to speak to us, I believe he would have this to say: “If such injustice could happen to a prominent citizen like me, what horrid suffering must my fellow citizens be enduring?”

Put plainly, this public servant’s fate screams the desperate need for Alaskans to take action against government, judicial, and “protective agency” corruption.

Consider this: like all human beings, Uncle Ted made mistakes. But he also did some good work for Alaska, and helped curb some irrational U.S. government conduct. Wouldn’t he believe such good works should continue? Yes, he would. Here are some examples of how to do just that:

• Legislatively subpoena relevant officers of the court within Alaska’s Judicial System. Ask them why, practically, a police officer’s testimony is automatically presumed true, unless vigorously proved false only at trial beyond a reasonable doubt. Ask them why police witnesses are rarely held accountable for their “fibs.” What has this to say about honoring the American justice principle that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty?

• Legislatively subpoena the attorney general, selected members of the judiciary, and principle officers of the Office of Children’s Services (OCS). You will find that OCS never has to obtain a warrant to take children. Their opinions and prejudices rule supreme — as they never have to provide non-hearsay evidence of probable cause for their so-called “emergency” actions. What makes OCS immune to the reason why obtaining judicial warrants for cause is relevant to long-standing limitations on government power? Have Alaskans agreed that government has elitist power to selectively tax families a child? Or that legally selling children by OCS “professionals” in the adoption market is a public duty of government? Does this have any grounding in our political heritage?

• Legislatively subpoena our Alaska Supreme Court Chief Justice as chairman of the Judicial Council, the Executive Director of the Alaska Commission on Judicial Conduct, selected past and present judges, and the head of the Alaska Bar Association. Ask them why the above corruption has been allowed to exist when the Alaska Constitution and Alaska Court Rules specifically charge them all to prevent such corruption.

Have the Chief Justice in particular try to explain away my documented Report of Dereliction of Duty by Alaska’s Judicial Branch (given the Legislature’s Judicial Committees last year). We must realize that making the Judiciary effectively self-policing — in repudiation of the checks and balances principle of U.S. government design — has allowed them to become aloof from public accountability. This condition is exactly what the Alaska Constitutional Convention was warned would happen, and that they ignored. What has this to say about honoring our Constitutions and political heritage?

• Publically ask why Alaska government doesn’t make holding the U.S. Countermand Amendment Convention (the subject of concurrent resolutions currently before the Legislature) a top priority. Rampant evidence of manipulated interpretation of the U.S. Constitution — so that the federal government illegally centralizes authority, police power, and access to truth through secrecy — can be seen even by children. The U.S. government is so dishonest that common words we have used to express our country’s values are now acronyms — just to paper-over lawbreaking and citizen betrayal.

Consider the following: LIBERTY — Lousy Ideas Bringing Effective Restrictions To You; DEMOCRACY: Deceptive Empire Making — Overthrowing Central Rights And Controlling Y’all; FREEDOM: Faulty Reasoning Ensuring Everyone Dies Over Money; PEACE: Police-Enforced Aggression Controlling Everyone; RIGHTS: Restricted Independence Governed Heavily Through Suppression.

• Publically ask why the honor and willingness of our military personnel are being abused through deployments manipulated by special interests. These bums literally have had the U.S. government covertly (now overtly with corrupt “moderate Islamic insurgents” funding) pay, arm and supply our current enemies (Al Qaida, ISIS, etc.) — or have made America pick fights simply to have enemies. U.S. militarism has become a gigantic welfare program for the military-industrial-homeland security-foreign espionage complex. Why should anybody ever wonder about skyrocketing PTSD and suicides in our armed forces?

In conclusion, please don’t make Sen. Stevens’ suffering — and your own, for God’s sake — be in vain. Make our form of government really work.
