Contra Cabal 101-10-00 - Nmesis - Contents and Abstracts

A tragic irony occurs when an Englishman has to go to jail to defend rights guaranteed under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, especially when an American judge misuses harassment laws to suppress freedom of speech. Personal experiences of fascism and my role models still play an important part in my life. I resolved many years ago to neither accept fascist ideology nor brutalization of people belonging to minority groups.

The term “copyright” protects rights to the intellectual property that Paul Trummel (Nmesis) and other authors have created and published online in Contra Cabal. It includes text, photographs, cartoons, and illustrations. The term “moral rights” refers to attribution (bylines, credits). British law protects authors and artists from derogatory treatment of, or alterations to, original material in any way that prejudices them or their reputations.

Contra Cabal blossomed into an exposé of great size and force thanks to the Machiavellian Weasels and other Mustela rhetorica. They have now spawned and digitally nested within these pages. Accordingly, Nmesis dedicates the web launch of Contra Cabal to a magnificent duo. The idea of publishing essays about academic impropriety would not have developed without their unswerving moral turpitude, ethical ambivalence, and unlawful artfulness.

Paul Trummel uses the pseudonym Nmesis and openly declares personal or conflicting interests. Conflicts may relate to topics or to opinion especially when the content draws upon advocacy, experience, conclusion, or interpretation. An accredited journalist, he conforms with the code of conduct and ethics of the journalism profession, tested by courts in both Great Britain and the USA.

I describe much of the dysfunctional behavior that I have experienced with university administrators and state officials whom I name personally. I do not expect to change anything. Rensselaer and the University of Washington have colluded in the arbitrary removal of my computer access and expropriated all of my academic research and editorial databases. I believe that they did this in an attempt to silence me because I exposed their corruption.

More than five decades ago, Nmesis began a career in journalism and publishing as a Fleet Street contemporary of George Orwell. Today, the threat to intellectual freedom comes from university administrators who act as apologists for totalitarianism. The threat to personal freedom comes from state officials and attorneys general who show a complete disregard for law. These officials have negatively influenced the survival of freedom of expression. They have arbitrarily denied constitutional rights by insisting upon absolutist dogmas enforced through political correctness.

Designers do not have absolute control over the display of web sites because programming criteria and user preferences vary. Pages appear differently on a variety of platform monitors, for example, PC and Macintosh. However, the use of cascading style sheets has reduced the number of variables but may increase problems with older browsers. The web site will eventually contain all new and previously published work. The size and complexity of the overall project determines a practical need to publish in stages. Several hundred essays have reached copyediting, final investigation, validation, verification, or remain under investigation.

The judiciary and government officials connected with Seattle Jewish Mafia have caused a state of lawlessness and disorder by failure to comply with law. David C. Broom, formerly Seattle British Consul took advantage of extant anarchy to manipulate the Seattle political and judicial system to the detriment of a British subject whom he had sworn to assist and protect. During 2002, Judge James A. Doerty, Washington Superior Court and Broom conspired to increase the coercion of a British journalist jailed without benefit of legal counsel by moving him to incommunicado solitary confinement among murderers and rapists in King County Jail, Seattle where prison guards tortured him. Now, a cover-up allows a powerful political and criminal element in Seattle to harass the journalist whenever he enters the US and unlawful restrictions still apply to his movements in Seattle despite a Washington Supreme court finding in his favor.

National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) formed a non-profit corporation then built and later refurbished Council House, 1501 17th Avenue, Seattle, Washington. The corporation rents independent-living apartments to senior citizens. The building does not classify as a nursing home and does not house vulnerable adults. Vulnerability rules do not generally apply to Council House tenants although administrators and their lawyers would have the public believe that they do. The people who legally live there possess all their faculties and have the ability to act independently. Tenants rent apartments in a block governed by landlord/tenant laws. The difference between Council House tenant and other landlord/tenant relationships lies only in economic disadvantage and age eligibility not physical or mental disability.

By unanimous decision, Washington Supreme Court, concluded that the trial court abused its discretion in restraining the author from contacting nonparties and in adding content restrictions to an antiharassment order. It also concluded that the trial court erred in multiple findings of contempt of court. It reversed draconian trial and appellate decisions which resulted in the author spending time in jail. All the contempt motions based upon alleged violations of an original flawed and unconstitutional anti-harassment order. The trial court denied the author the right to counsel and jailed him for 111 days (including 25 days in solitary confinement). Trial court had absolutely no justification to deny the right to counsel. In denying that right, the appellate court did not consider the draconian nature of the order against the author an accredited journalist - prior restraint, constructive eviction from his home, and jail time.

The case concerns a veteran British journalist sent to jail for publishing exposé, also political and satirical commentary, on a European web site. Washington Court of Appeals neglected to address abuse of judicial discretion by affirming trial court decisions. Washington Supreme Court tried to remedy a travesty of justice by Superior Court and refusal by Court of Appeals to hear the case. It unanimously remanded the case to Court of Appeals. Despite the Supreme Court ruling, Court of Appeals affirmed Superior Court decisions now subject to another petition for Supreme Court review. The decisions provoked worldwide outrage among journalists and raised significant questions about state constitutional law in relation to First Amendment rights to free speech. Arguments challenge the improper use of antiharassment orders for prior restraint. State laws specifically exempt constitutionally protected activity as a basis for antiharassment orders. Pleadings also address repeated denial of the right to counsel.

Mary Kay Becker, Chief Judge Division 1, Court of Appeals, State of Washington, wrote an outrageous opinion then her sheep bleated: “We concur”. The court procrastinated and manipulated court rules for three years then waited another seven months after oral argument to make a decision - obvious attempts to delay then deny justice. It then buried its finding as an unpublished opinion which contained deliberately inaccurate statements, smacked of political expediency, and begs a challenge in a higher court. Lawyers for the appellant have filed a motion for reconsideration (05-Jul 04). Unfortunately, court rules allow the court to take as long as it wants to act on that motion. Will the court again drag its feet and take three years to publish another politically expedient and intellectually dishonest finding? The opinion affirmed the trial court decision. It effectively granted Council House directors impunity to continue their elder abuse and to cover up their complicity in alleged homicide. It also effectively declared another open season for violence by their thugs who have consistently used the court orders as a license to stalk, ambush, and violently assault a journalist. They have also sent several death threats to him and to other people connected with the case.

Mary Kay Becker, Chief Judge, Washington Court of Appeals, affirmed all the rants and rambles of James A. Doerty, Washington Superior Court. She has become party to his “evidence” and his ad hominem. She has opened the door to rebuttal using similar rhetorical devices. She reveals her bias by selectively using documents filed with the trial court and by allowing the trial judge to suppress transcripts and other evidence. Powerful people get what they want by deception, distortion, and judicial compromise, they demonize their adversaries to achieve their goals. Becker has shown that she makes an admirable adjunct to the Council House board of directors as do superior court judges Wartnik, Doerty, and Hayden. She has become a real team-player in a team that draws its players from the same jurisprudential cesspool. Washington Commission on Judicial Conduct will have a lot of work to do in the not too distant future.

Becker: "A trial court issued an order restraining Paul Trummel from harassing his neighbors in a high rise apartment building for senior citizens, and then jailed him for contempt of court when he persistently posted their names and addresses on the Internet. Although Trummel vigorously puts forth the First Amendment as a shield, the trial court focused on Trummel's conduct rather than his speech. The court appropriately used the civil antiharassment statute to protect the residents from having to endure aggressive and hostile personal confrontations and surveillance while in the privacy of home; and appropriately concluded that the public posting of personal information violated the no-surveillance provision of the order. We affirm the trial court in all respects."

Motion for Reconsideration addresses the current Opinion which overlooks and misapprehends several important points of fact and law. RAP 12.4(c). Most importantly, however, the current Opinion neglects to decide several issues that require resolution, even if the Court's decision relative to the merits does not change. The current Opinion overlooks the fact that Trummel was found in contempt and spent four months in jail, not for listening at a door, but because of unconstitutional content-based restrictions on his web site.

Becker’s conduct echos and probably replicates Doerty’s judicial misconduct. Her opinion certainly ratifies his biased and draconian decisions. One lawyer called it "a travesty" and another said "the court should be ashamed". Yet another reacted with just one word: "fuck". Other comments support those contentions. Several Seattle attorneys who have appeared before Doerty have variously described him as "running amok", "out-of-control", "unstable", "vicious", and "evil" - that sounds reasonably accurate. Another Seattle lawyer, who claims to have appeared before Doerty many times, says: "He does not strike one as having both oars in the water". Yet Becker supports Doerty without reservation. A former legislator, she acts more like a sleazy politician than a judge. Give her the respect that her behavior deserves. Fear her tyrannical power. Ignore the fact that she tramples the constitutional rights of others. Remember, what your mother told you: "If you cannot say something nice then don't say anything at all”. That's the politically correct way and as basic as apple pie to real Americans. Then judges and politicians can do precisely what they want without accountability.

Contrary to judicial codes, Mary Kay Becker (Court of Appeals) condoned and affirmed ad hominem by Doerty and resorted to using it herself in court of appeals. She used Bimbo Bingo - random selection of evidence - to support her politically motivated opinion. Satire uses invective based upon reason to explore a proposition and state an opinion. Conversely, ad hominem consists of invective without logic that some people use to vent their spleen and to create a violent reaction - a genre proscribed by judicial codes that Doerty has used repeatedly. Ad hominem appeals to personal considerations instead of fact or reason required in judicial proceedings. Doerty and Becker merged definitions to persuade the public that irony incites violence. In a similar way, they commingled legal interpretation and construction to suit similar ends. Becker affirmed the findings of James A. Doerty (Superior Court) despite his constructive recusal when he became internationally notorious. The decisions now await review by Washington Supreme Court. Becker aspires to a seat on that court.

Mary Kay Becker (Court of Appeals) affirmed James A. Doerty (Superior Court) which exacerbated damage to victims of elder abuse by granting impunity to their oppressors. Those decisions have allowed abuse to continue unabated while Council House directors and managers evade prosecution. Becker now aspires to a seat on the Washington Supreme Court. These judges pander to powerful people and grant them impunity to get what they want by deception, distortion, and judicial compromise. In a consort, they demonize adversaries to achieve those goals. Like traditional bimbos they indulge wealthy and powerful people. Becker has shown that she makes an admirable adjunct to the Council House board of directors as do superior court judges Anthony P. Wartnik, James A. Doerty, and Michael C. Hayden. She plays for a team that draws its players from the Seattle jurisprudential cesspool.

Council House directors and employees wrote hundreds of scurrilous letters during a three-year period. They sent them to the appellant, media, his professional associates, his friends and colleagues, also filed them with government agencies as false and misleading reports. Then, ex parte (communicating in secret with bias), they gave copies of undeclared statements and accusations to Judge Doerty who entered selected items, and copied part of what they posted on the Internet, into evidence without allowing cross-examination or a rebuttal. Princess Becky, must feel grateful for such staunch allies. She knowingly affirmed manufactured evidence then validated ad hominem and unfounded accusations. She even used some of it in court. Higher courts with a modicum of ethics will know how to sort the sheep from the goats then reverse the previous decisions. Unfortunately, that will not bring back the people who have died or rehabilitate the elderly people whom Council House managers and their thugs have abused. Any reasonable person can compare the declarations filed with the court with published Council House propaganda. That comparison will show how judges, directors, and administrators used perjury, subornation, and conspiracy in a planned campaign to pervert justice. During oral argument, Becker even mentioned “a campaign” which shows that She Knows you Know.

Princess Becky must by now have realized that she has courted the wrong frog. She kissed him expecting a prince, instead, she awakened the Marquis de Sade. These verbatim comments on the Court of Appeals opinion by the principal spokesman for Council House speak for themselves: "So here you are. Looking stupid. What a loser. And you are not alone. All you[r] admirers here at Council House look the same. You should see poor P---, she looks like a Bulgarian cow wondering about her bareness, intellectual and physical bareness that is. Like you, she has trouble hiding her Euro-trashness. Fakes like you and her, Euro-scum really, in the end are always exposed for what they truly are. Mental deficient morons from the old country. She looks so beaten, poor cow. About an [sic] half-hour ago I had the pleasure to celebrating [sic] your defeat on her face. She threatened me with mace and them called the police. It took all of two minutes for the cops to realize that she, like you, is insane. No they did not fill [sic] a report so don’t waist [sic] your time looking for one. As you can see your commedia buffone still goes on in this geriatric paradise. Ditto for G----, her fatness is weighting on her and as for you[r] Kaffir, he looks really down also. Poor guy, bet on the wrong horse. I understand that. Gambling is my thing."

Public prosecutors must by law follow up reports of elder abuse. Appropriate authorities will receive information upon publication of each case study. They must eventually take action to insure that no more incidents occur. Council House directors must accept responsibility for their dereliction and lack of response to complaints instead of consistently tying to kill the messenger. They have taken part in a Kafkaesque charade to cover up elder abuse that involves criminal liability. US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and City of Seattle (CoS), the oversight authorities for Council House, regularly practice willful blindness. Michael J. Finkle (a judge wannabe and CoS attorney), in a consort with Jeaneen Watkins (apparently responsible for harassment and elder abuse complaints), has ignored Council House tenant complaints for several years. CoS attorneys have also denied due process of law to tenants affected by false and misleading reports filed about them by Stephen A. Mitchell as part of his vilification and blackmail campaign. Allegedly, as a result of Council House abuse and agency dereliction, two people have died.

Council House directors perjured themselves and forged documents to make an author take down his web site which exposed their criminal activities. Lynn C. Wartnik wrote one of those declarations. Superior Court Judge Anthony P. (Tony) Wartnik (Lynn's husband) then arranged his transfer to solitary confinement ex parte (secretly) with Judge Doerty. Doerty issued a sua sponte (on a whim without a hearing) order for solitary confinement. Lynn evidently acts upon the legal advice of her husband. He has committed judicial misconduct by insinuating himself into a case and interceding with a trial court judge in his wife's behalf. Council House directors falsely claimed that he had sent an anonymous communication to them while he languished in jail. They then had him, at age 68, transferred to solitary confinement with 23-hour lock down as a punishment. He spent 25 days among accused murderers and rapists as part of 111 days that he spent in jail as a result of a campaign to silence him. Twenty-one directors and managers organized the transfer campaign in a similar way to a campaign of character assassination they had mounted earlier.

Phil Sutcliffe, chair of a London Freelance Branch, National Union of Journalists (NUJ - UK and Ireland) committee formed to investigate the circumstances wrote to Council House director Donald G. Cohan asking for clemency: "Whatever the rights and wrongs of the argument, we would suggest that practically, the matter will not be resolved while he is in jail - quite simply, the website cannot be changed while [he] is confined. While there may not be an easy or immediate resolution of the issue between Council House and [him], it cannot be resolved unless there is a resumption of due process and/or negotiation between you." Cohan responded: "I am a past president of Council House and have been an attorney for over forty years. . . . You will find that he is not imprisoned for exercising his rights of free speech. He was held in contempt of court for repeatedly disobeying direct orders of the court. The problem he has is a direct result of his actions regarding court orders rather than issues of free speech." Cohan then evidently arranged with Judge Wartnik for a transfer to solitary confinement with 23-hour lockdown.

In his letter to Vicki Richman, a journalist colleague, Mitchell trapped himself several times, in particular by admitting that: "[Doerty] denied his petition with prejudice and suggested that I should file a counter suit". By that, Mitchell confirms the appellantxs contentions that Doerty openly suggested from the bench that Council House prosecute against constitutionally protected speech. He then retained jurisdiction. Doerty committed gross judicial misconduct by giving advise from the bench. He then reinforced his position by admitting declarations into evidence unquestioned. In fact, he initiated the counterclaim. He has since withheld transcripts and hundreds of other documents from that hearing to cover his tracks.

Hon. Robert F. Utter, Retired Justice, Washington State Supreme Court wrote that: "The vibrancy of our Democracy depends upon our willingness to ensure that the fullest range of voices and interests is represented and heard. This is what the fight for equal justice is all about". Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) uses that quotation as a slogan but Washington judges pay little heed to it and repeatedly deny due process of law. Washington State Court Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC) require lawyers to make a full disclosure of their interest. Yet Judge James A. Doerty issued an order that gives The Scab Family protection from exposure and allows them to act unlawfully in a similar way to their clients. By that, he placed a prior restraint upon an author. In effect, he granted The Scab Family a license to kill and sanctioned a conspiracy. The pseudonyms used in this essay differentiate and identify people without violating Doerty’s order. They have his specific authorization which he entered into the court record. This theater of the absurd emphasizes ludicrous folly. SCaB lawyers and captive judges employ disjointed, repetitious, and meaningless dialogue. They create purposeless and confusing situations then write scripts that lack any realistic or logical development.

Transcripts taken verbatim from court tape recordings form part of the public record. They must faithfully describe oral argument. A trial court judge censors attorneys' and directors' names from court transcripts when republished. Should journalists publish court transcripts verbatim and risk going to jail or alter the public record to comply with prior restraint? This transcript, taken verbatim from the court tape recording of the proceedings on 14 November 2003, forms part of the public record. It faithfully represents the oral argument during those proceedings. A competent lawyer proofread the document against the tape recording to insure accuracy. A dilemma arises from the trial court censorship. That prior restraint presents a serious ethical problem for a journalist. It illustrates the catch-22 that Judge James A. Doerty created in the trial court. He sent the author to jail for 111 days (25 days in solitary confinement) for publishing attorneys’ and directors’ names. Kafkaesque as this may seem, the author has tried to comply with an irrational trial court order until reversed by Court of Appeals. If that court orders deletion of the attorney’s name from its own verbatim transcript then the author will comply with that ruling.

National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) formed a non-profit corporation then built and later refurbished Council House, 1501 17th Avenue, Seattle, Washington. The corporation rents independent-living apartments to senior citizens. The building does not classify as a nursing home and does not house vulnerable adults. They obtained federal financial assistance through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the original construction and rehabilitation. Residents have amortized mortgages by paying rent over several decades while HUD continued to subsidize some rents and services. Then they appointed directors who employed administrators mandated to comply with HUD directives. Instead, successive administrators have introduced supremacist policies and enforced them contrary to federal law. They have also obtained restraining orders that banned communication with the directors so that they could not hear about the abuse perpetrated in their name.

Jonathan Swift claimed that people see a reflection of everybody’s face but their own in satirical portrayal - that writing offends only those who recognize themselves. However, writing satire in a politically correct society makes the writer vulnerable to abuse. Some writers fail to expose themselves from fear of retribution for publishing heterodox opinions. Political silence then allows absolute control by those who have power. The First Amendment to the US Constitution protects reporters against prior restraint and prohibitions on genre or content. It should prevent other people from gagging them. The law determines that public officials and the judiciary, whose life and behavior result in public focus or interest, must remain accountable. They must not try to cover up their crimes by unlawfully silencing reporters. Satire and political cartoons also classify as protected speech under the First Amendment even if the targets do not appreciate the humor.

Five justices of Supreme Court of Washington granted motion for discretionary review. Unanimously accepted arguments in pleadings. Court remedied travesty of justice. Journalist prevented from publishing information then jailed for satirical commentary. Broached worldwide outrage in the journalism community. Significant questions of state and federal constitutional law. First Amendment rights to free speech. Improper use of anti-harassment orders for prior restraint. State law exempts constitutionally protected activity as a basis for anti-harassment orders.

The case arises from a dispute between appellant Paul Trummel, a retired freelance journalist, and respondent Stephen Mitchell, the administrator of Council House, Inc., a federally-subsidized housing project. Trummel classified Mitchell as a tyrant who abused his authority and violated various laws and regulations. He investigated various events at Council House then reported his findings and opinions in newsletters and on web sites. Mitchell may dispute the accuracy of allegations but not the right to conduct investigations and publish articles classified as protected speech under the First Amendment. Nevertheless, Mitchell persuaded the King County Superior Court that writing classified as actionable “harassment”. Judge James A. Doerty, Washington Superior Court, held a hearing in which he ignored both First Amendment principles and the statutory elements of harassment. He also violated rights to counsel and to due process. He summarily denied that Trummel held press credentials and claimed he had no First Amendment rights then entered an order of anti-harassment against him. The trial court’s unconstitutional orders led, in rapid progression, to constructive eviction from Council House, to the imposition of punitive fines, and finally to incarceration (at age 68) in the King County Jail for almost four months. Trummel now asks the appellate Court to restore his constitutional rights by reversing virtually every aspect of the trial court’s rulings.

Trummel violated the peace and security of Council House residents and staff through verbal confrontation, unsolicited inflammatory writings, and express and implied threats. Trummel wrote offensive "newsletters" about Council House staff and residents and distributed these writings either by posting the newsletters or sliding them under the door of individual apartment units. Council House enacted a "house rule" prohibiting any person from attaching newsletters or any other written communication to the door of any resident's apartment. Trummel filed an anti-harassment petition against Council House administrator Stephen Mitchell, which was denied after a hearing by Judge James A. Doerty. Stephen Mitchell filed a petition for an anti-harassment order against Trummel. He supported the petition with declarations by forty-three residents who described harassing behavior and the emotional toll that it took on them. The court found engagement in a knowing and willful course of conduct directed at specific persons within Council House detrimental to those people and served no legitimate or lawful purpose. Doerty entered an anti-harassment order which restrained Trummel from contacting Mitchell or Council House, from keeping Mitchell or Council House under surveillance, and from entering or coming within 500 feet of Council House. Further he restrained Trummel from contacting in person, by mail, electronically, by telephone, by writing, or through any third person any resident of Council House and any board member, staff, or employee of Council House at any location.

Mitchell could have brought eviction proceedings against Trummel but he chose a “speedy and inexpensive method of obtaining [a] civil anti-harassment protection order”. That resulted in a series of legal errors culminating in Trummel’s imprisonment for publication of constitutionally protected materials. Trummel was unrepresented during the hearing and was denied his right to have counsel to cross-examine declarants. Mitchell excuses this outrage against human rights on grounds that Trummel was rude to old people. This astonished national and international news media. Appellant urges the Court to review the declarations cited by Mitchell for evidentiary and legal sufficiency and to ignore emotional and conclusory statements. Careful and fair reading of the record leads inescapably to the conclusion that Mitchell’s allegations, even if true, do not establish that Trummel has actually harassed Mitchell or anyone else. Mitchell concedes that the trial court did not make the statutory findings required to ensure that anti-harassment statutes do not violate constitutional rights. He also concedes that an anti-harassment petition cannot be based on lawsuits or complaints to government departments also that content-based restrictions on web sites classify as unconstitutional. The publications did not rank as defamatory and the declarations submitted by Mitchell were not admissible in that he was not the target of any course of harassing conduct. Moreover, he concedes that he is not a “fiduciary” of tenants, that he does not have legal authority to bring an action on tenants’ behalf, and that the tenants are not parties to the action.

Mitchell brought a motion for contempt based on the content of a web site. The trial court found that content violated the "surveillance" provision of a court order, found Trummel in contempt, and imposed fines of $100 per day. The court then issued a new antiharassment order that explicitly required Trummel to remove "personal identifying information" from his web site. Mitchell brought a second motion for contempt based on the web site. Trummel appeared without an attorney at the motion. Despite the well-established constitutional right to assistance of counsel in a contempt proceeding, Judge Doerty failed to appoint counsel to represent him. Trummel argued, pro se, that the trial court had no jurisdiction over his web site and that his speech was protected in any event. The trial court disagreed, found Trummel in contempt, and jailed him indeterminately. His wrongful incarceration has captured the attention of the national and international media. After Trummel had been in jail for more than two months, the trial court, appointed an attorney to represent him in contempt proceedings. Judge Doerty launched a review hearing with invective then conditionally released Trummel pending a hearing to give him an opportunity to purge his contempt by removing "private information" from his publications. Strangely, the court also claimed that Trummel was "not ordered to quit writing or to quit publishing in any way," even though Trummel had just served three and a half months in jail - including several weeks in solitary confinement - for publishing the names of third parties who were not even petitioners. The trial court denied a motion to vacate the finding of contempt, declined to return him to jail, then entered a new antiharassment order with altered geographical restrictions to stay away from hundreds of people who never petitioned the court for relief, and from posting, on his web site, any "identifying information," including the names of any current, former or future staff member, tenant or attorney of Council House.

Subsequent to the entry of an anti-harassment order, Trummel continued to keep surveillance over the staff and residents at Council House. Instead of posting his newsletters to the residents' doors, he broadcast his defamatory publications on the world wide web. The publications alleged that Mitchell and Council House staff engaged in racial, political, and religious discrimination. Council House residents and staff reported that continued surveillance made them fear for their safety. Judge Doerty found that Trummel had violated the "surveillance" portion of an anti-harassment order and ordered him to remove all personal identifying information regarding Council House staff and residents from his web site. He found that the specific posting on the internet of names and home addresses coupled with inflammatory rhetoric violated the antiharassment order in that it caused the subjects to reasonably feel under surveillance. Another contempt motion was brought resulting in a finding that he had again violated the anti-harassment order entered against him. The trial court claimed that lesser sanctions had been insufficient to compel him to obey the authority of that court. Judge Doerty ordered Trummel to the King County jail to be detained until he fully complied with his order. At a compliance hearing the Court found that Trummel had appropriately purged his contempt and removed the personal identifying information from his web site and released him from jail. Based on supplemental declarations presented by Council House residents and staff, Judge Doerty again entered a modified anti-harassment order which designated a specific geographical area around Council House which Trummel could not enter and retained the restrictions on contacting Council House residents and posting personal identifying information to the internet.

One of the most serious errors committed by the trial court was the issuance of anti-harassment orders restricting Trummel's contact with dozens of tenants who were not parties, many of them his friends. This followed Mitchell's frivolous assertions that he had the legal authority to file a lawsuit on behalf of his tenants. The record and Mitchell's own arguments on appeal show that Mitchell never had the "representative capacity" upon which his petition was originally based. The only petitioner in the action was Mitchell himself. Even if Trummel's actions constituted harassment (they did not), the trial court had no jurisdiction to restrict contact with third parties. Mitchell argued that this "fiduciary" relationship gave him the authority to sue on the tenants' behalf. He never mentioned "real party in interest". Mitchell has changed his position 180 degrees and has abandoned his frivolous claims that the tenants are legally "disabled". He now argues that this is an issue of "real party in interest". If Mitchell had not falsely represented to the trial court that he had the "representative capacity" to sue on behalf of the tenants, many of the trial court's errors would never have occurred. The statute clearly states that a person claiming harassment must file a petition. The statute also clearly states that direction of a course of harassing conduct must apply only to the petitioner and not to third parties. The trial court did not have the discretion to determine what "surveillance" meant. No evidence - admissible or otherwise - showed that Trummel engaged in surveillance of Council House or its staff. The trial court relied on "feelings" rather than evidence that Trummel had actually violated the order. That determination had no legal or factual basis. As a threshold matter, there is some confusion as to whether the term "prior restraint" should be used to describe an unconstitutional post publication restriction on speech. But the issue is not whether the use of the term "prior restraint" to describe the trial court's unconstitutional restrictions on the web site is technically correct. Instead, the issue relates more to whether those patently unconstitutional restrictions on speech may be collaterally attacked.

Washington Court of Appeals questioned attorneys for both sides about the draconian and biased trial court decisions that caused a reporter to go to jail for an indeterminate period. The case attracted worldwide interest among journalists when they learned that a Seattle judge had jailed journalist Paul Trummel. He served 111 days (25 days in solitary confinement in the same section as Gary Ridgway, the Green River serial killer) for publishing constitutionally protected information. The appellant published details of senior citizen abuse and misappropriation of federal funds that occurred in a federally-assisted apartment block. He has since alleged homicide by abuse by administrators condoned by directors. He reported the facts to municipal, state, and federal authorities but they have neglected to do anything about the complaints.

Amicus curiae means, literally, “friend of the court”. The process caters to individuals or organizations with a strong interest in, or views about, the issues contained in the appeal. They do not rank as parties to the action. However, they may file a brief suggesting a rationale consistent with their own views and concerns. Amicus curiae briefs commonly address matters of broad public interest and establish the interests of third parties. Amici curiae use their own attorneys licensed in the State of Washington to express professional or ethical concerns based upon the appellate briefs filed with the court. Their briefs support the special interests of the person or organization filing and include supporting case law. The amicus curiae briefs give the appellate court notice of the extraordinary international concern about this case. They also demonstrate how the trial court decision would adversely affect journalists internationally if allowed to set a legal precedent and standard for citation in subsequent cases. These précis relate to amicus curiae briefs filed with Washington Court of Appeals (15 Oct 03) and link to full text briefs.

The First Amendment protects people who publish unpopular political ideas. It also protects journalists who expose corruption from government censorship and judicial misconduct. Judges must not make decisions without due process of law and examination of evidence.

The investigative reporter exposed abuse of residents and misappropriation of public funds at Council House, a HUD financially-assisted residence for senior citizens in Seattle. The court ruling essentially punishes the reporter, precludes further investigation, and allows abuse and fraud to continue unabated.

You are not a bona fide journalist because you do not work full-time for a recognized publisher. Therefore, you have no protection under the First Amendment to the Constitution.

Early seventeenth-century Calvinists tried to suppress political proselytization by their religious and political opponents in favor of their own doctrine. Three hundred and sixty years later, a Jewish constituency in Seattle has acted in a similar way. To support them, Judge James A. (Jiminy) Doerty, Superior Court, Washington State, resurrected the restrictions on freedom of the press imposed by the Press Licensing Order, London 1643. He then arbitrarily incorporated them into findings that bypass US and Washington State constitutions.

First Amendment to the United States Constitution grounds in the belief that individuals have the right to decide for themselves what they read, write, or hear. The US Supreme Court protects freedom of expression. That court defined it as the nucleus of an indispensable matrix that ensures democracy. State courts may not define speech outside federal case law. Judge James A. Doerty does not agree with either federal or state constitutions. He has handed down a draconian decision using disinformation to support it. Civilization has not seen the like since Britain's King George disliked Jonathan Swift's satire so much that he evicted him from his London home. Now Washington's King James behaves similarly. Things have evidently not changed much in three hundred years.

Pending appellate review, this reporter analyzes Trummel vs. Mitchell and Mitchell vs. Trummel, Washington Superior Court, 01-2-04698-5 SEA to help contributors to the legal fund understand what transpired. This article provides neither a legal opinion nor an interpretation of law.

Past Co-President Lynn W. (wife of Judge Anthony P. Wartnik) and other directors paid more than $20,000 in attorney fees to cover-up alleged crimes at Council House, Seattle. Inquiry into the draconian measures that Judge James A. Doerty imposed, and the broad jurisdiction that he claimed, revealed that Doerty holds court in the same courthouse as Wartnik.

Fourth Estate comes into play when the judiciary and legal profession fail to investigate their own people. Judge James A. Doerty must presently rank as the most unethical judge in Washington Superior Court system. Neither the judiciary nor Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) have apparently done anything to remedy or halt his rampage despite world wide media coverage about his judicial misconduct. WSBA has maintained a hypocritical silence and has issued no reprimand although alive to his misconduct for almost three years. An appellate court knowingly drags its feet on a case that documents blatant judicial misconduct. This gives the public a perception that they want to protect one of their own. It gives the impression that it has a vested interest in procrastination for a variety of reasons including reelection. This exacerbates the damage to victims of elder abuse instead of mitigating it. Meanwhile, the people responsible evade prosecution.

Judge James A. Doerty Washington Superior Court has placed the landlords of Council House and their special interests above the law. Doerty ruled against a journalist in a draconian harassment decision that disingenuously redefines the roles of reporter and perpetrator as harasser and victim.

This sequel to Shame Naming and Blaming provides a classic example of how eight months of anonymity, obtained by depriving one journalist of his right to freedom of expression, has allowed abuse of senior citizens at Council House to escalate. Council House managers have taken advantage of the relative immunity from prosecution and anonymity granted by the court order. They have increased their hold over residents using a neo-fascist ideology to the detriment of dissident residents. The majority live in fear of them.

Judge James A. Doerty Washington Superior Court denied a Motion for Reconsideration of a Restraining Order against Investigative Reporter Paul Trummel.

The man sitting next to a delegate at NWU 2001 DA told her: "I'll send a check. I honestly will." That gave the delegate the idea to launch an appeal. The man kept his promise by sending a check for $100.

The elder abuse section of this web site provides examples of how evil and anonymity backed by tyrannical policies and procedures endorsed by a superior court judge have adversely affected senior citizens living in a federal financially-assisted apartment block in Seattle. Administrators and directors have unlawfully manipulated tenant lifestyles and cruelly tried to impose their ideology upon elderly people then denied them recourse. The directors live in affluence and think that laws do not apply to them. Documents show that they organized a deliberate campaign of perjury to cover up alleged homicide and fraud. All-Jewish board of directors allows supremacists to continue behavior reminiscent of Nazi Germany. Authorities must stop them before others die as a result of gross neglect and homicide.

I started to interview and write profiles about Council House tenants during 1999. Their diversity indicated an interesting project covering personal backgrounds and experience among the approximately 150 tenants. This ranged from life in Adolph Hitler’s concentration camps to construction work under Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal. Council House, a federal financially-assisted facility for independent living does not classify as an adult family home, boarding home, or nursing home and must not rent apartments to vulnerable adults. However, administrators have granted leases to people in that category for personal and corporate gain then abused some of them. This resulted in alleged homicide by abuse and the appointment of other vulnerable adults as Kapos (thugs). The individual case studies result from research and investigation using government and other documents, resident interviews, and personal observations. What portended a pleasant project interviewing people between the ages of 62 and 102 to listen to their stories became a nightmare when administrators heard about it.

Abuse of older people has become endemic - it manifests to a greater or lesser degree in people of a certain class or living in a particular location. Elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation has now reached substantial proportions. Although family members form a majority of abusers the problem crosses all geographic, socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic groups. Administrators frequently insinuate themselves as surrogate parents into the lifestyles of elders on the unwarranted assumption that they cannot look after themselves. Elder abuse includes: physical assault (force that results in physical pain or injury); humiliation (threats, harassment, and intimidation); neglect (confinement or restraint either intentionally or unintentionally); and, financial exploitation (misuse or withholding resources for personal advantage). The abuse very often bases upon financial exploitation although more than one type of abuse may occur in any given circumstance. Financial exploitation and emotional abuse rank as the most commonly reported.

Stephen A Mitchell is easy to understand if one looks at him as he sees himself - like a charismatic cult leader, above the law, on a mission from God and in charge of his parishioners, tenants of Council House who are incapable of living a happy life without his input and guidance. He now wants to extend his mission to the neighborhood, creating a response to the “drunks, addicts and homeless” to rid the neighborhood of the unwanted whom he feels have no right to exist in his world.

Elder abuse manifests to a greater or lesser degree in people of a certain class or living in a particular location. Neglect, and exploitation has now reached substantial proportions. Typically, victims classify as widowed, white females over 62 years of age living on a limited income. They usually live with, or under the auspices of, the perpetrator. Elder victims often do not report the abuse. They fear retaliation by the abuser, personal shame for their situation, or worry about having to leave their home. Consequently, they do not make reports. Council House unlawfully inserted nebulous and unconstitutional clauses into lease addenda so that he could control the lifestyle of individual tenants and force them to comply with his own ideology. In particular, it used the ambiguous term “rude and abusive behavior” to threaten or evict a stream of tenants. Pola Doenyas (75) and Gilda Kabbani (70±) challenged the Zionist lines along which directors run Council House. Accordingly, they have decided to ask federal court for declaratory and injunctive relief. That relief will effectively enforce constitutional law at Council House which US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) officials have neglected to do, probably through political affiliation with Council House directors.

Five articles and a letter to the editor cover ongoing criminal activity and elder abuse by Council House directors. They describe the actions of corrupt judges and gross misconduct by their attorneys who have filed frivolous law suits against tenants. Council House directors have used more unlawful retaliatory measures to destroy the lives and reputations of people who testified in, or opined about, the case now under Supreme Court review. The articles describe that retaliation and the carnivals that have posed as legal proceedings. Washington Supreme Court presently considers challenges by the author to prior restraint and other issues that define journalism inquiry as surveillance and harassment. Despite those ongoing deliberations, Council House directors and attorneys continue to harass the author. They now file frivolous complaints to police and the public prosecutor in attempts to return him to jail before Supreme Court decides that First Amendment case.

This case provides one of many examples that show how anonymity, obtained by depriving one journalist of his right to freedom of expression, has allowed elder abuse at Council House to escalate. A manager took advantage of his relative immunity from prosecution and anonymity granted by a court order to increase his hold over tenants. He used a neo-fascist ideology to the detriment of dissidents. With the knowledge and complicity of his directors, and with help from corrupt lawyers and judges who denied due process of law, he obtained restraining orders. For that purpose he coerced or suborned declarations from a team of people willing to commit perjury to gain favor. He then terrorized the remaining tenants for his own benefit. The majority have lived in fear for at least five years. Six of the eight witnesses who filed declarations in Hawk previously filed perjured declarations against other Council House tenants. Directors and their thugs have consistently suborned a tenant elite since 2001. In addition, six directors committed perjury which they used to pervert justice. The manager also tampered with each of the tenant witnesses for the petitioner in the 2001 case. He either unlawfully evicted them, tried to bribe them, or had his Kapos seriously harass them.

For the first time in the history of Council House, a tenant will have the resource to impose her right to face and question her accusers. In a series of other constructive evictions, based upon perjury suborned or coerced by Mitchell and his thugs, tenants did not have the benefit of counsel who could conduct discovery. Discovery, a compulsory process, allows pretrial disclosure. It enables litigants to obtain information before trial through demands for documents, deposition of potential witnesses, and written interrogatories under oath. Attorney Elena Garella will subpoena principal witnesses for examination. Previously, Council House directors and their lawyers denied tenants due process of law and corrupt judges made unjust decisions. When tenants won their cases in more ethical courts, Council House obtained new trials using their tame judges or ignored court decisions and evicted tenants anyway.

I would like to thank all those working to stop my eviction for their diligence and caring. I think it is a huge victory to have Council House offer me $5,000 in that it shows how effective my defense counsel has been. However I have never been in this to gain for myself. Elena Luisa Garella has made it very clear that it would be to my personal advantage to take this offer but I am making a stand to help all the tenants at Council House. It came to my attention that this apartment complex was being mismanaged much to the detriment of the tenants and I had to reject the offer despite the arguments put forth by Elena Garella and Kaustuv Das. They are both eloquent and obviously care for my well-being but I am making a stand to benefit all tenants. No one has been able to stand up to Mitchell and his unfair policies and remain as a tenant. I do not think I should have to be forced to move because Mitchell feels threatened by anyone disagreeing with his policies and course of actions that are harmful to tenants causing much stress and disruption to many tenants’ lives.

In The Trial, Franz Kafka described how Joseph K. did not receive a fair trial and how his tormentors maintained their anonymity. Joseph K. ended up dead and his tormentors continued their abuse without restraint. Directors and administrators at Council House have followed a similar Kafkaesque scenario with their claims to anonymity and impunity with the help of three superior court and three court of appeals judges. Court findings enabled Council House directors to cover up homicide by abuse. Homicide ranks as a class A felony punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in a state correctional institution or by a fine of fifty thousand dollars or both. At least two vulnerable adults have died at Council House from neglect and abuse and the directors have had four other tenants incarcerated thereby putting their lives at risk. The directors have since covered up the deaths which effectively makes them accessories after the fact.

Washington Court of Appeals procrastinated for three years then waited another seven months after oral argument to make a decision. The court then buried its finding as an unpublished opinion. The opinion smacks of political expediency and begs challenging in a higher court. It echos the judicial misconduct of the trial court judge and ratifies his biased and draconian decisions. A lawyer called it a travesty. The appellant’s lawyers, disappointed with the ruling, will seek further review. The opinion affirmed the trial court decision. It effectively granted Council House directors impunity to continue their elder abuse and to cover up their complicity in alleged homicide. It also declares another open season of violence by their thugs upon the writer. It follows the maxim that powerful people get what they want by deception, distortion, and judicial compromise, and demonize their adversaries to achieve their goals. Elder abuse resumed at Council House within hours of the court posting its opinion on the state web site. It involved another violent assault against a dissenting tenant that required police intervention. She reportedly carries mace to protect herself after suffering many similar confrontations and now has a pro bono lawyer.

Judge George W. Holifield in Seattle Municipal Court, Washington (21 Apr 06) dismissed all six criminal charges brought by Thomas Aquinas Carr, Seattle City Attorney, against the author. Carr knew about an impending Washington Supreme Court decision following oral argument (02 June 05). Allegedly in an attempt to preempt that decision, Carr filed legally indefensible criminal charges. Holifield quashed the bench warrant and dismissed all the charges on a motion by City of Seattle. City of Seattle took advantage of a draconian and unlawful finding by Judge James A. Doerty based upon perjury. Carr filed a series of manufactured criminal complaints (28 Sep 05) for ambiguous violations of a “prior restraint” order (19 Apr 01), an order now reversed by Washington Supreme Court (30 Mar 06).

Thomas A. Carr, Seattle City Attorney, an elected official, and Kevin D. Kilpatrick, City Prosecutor, appear more as principal obstructionists in preventing due process of law than advocates. Neglect by them to address issues of harassment and elder abuse, also the withholding of public records associated with those abuses, has allowed Council House directors to pursue racism and elder abuse with impunity. That impunity stands as a contributory factor in at least two cases of alleged homicide by abuse and several cases of violent physical assault upon elderly people by administrators and thugs that they employ. City of Seattle and US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) officials not only tried to cover up allegations but also tried to silence by unlawful means or obstruct tenants who tried to report elder abuse. Moreover, biased straw judges have obstructed lawyers who tried to obtain due process of law for victims of myriad elder abuse at Council House, Seattle.

Mary Selecky, Secretary, Washington Department of Health (DOH), received reports of the abuse and after considerable outside pressure, sent Donald Painter, an investigator, to interview Mitchell about elder abuse and fraudulent credentialing of staff. Selecky and other agencies had notice of that elder abuse prior to and following the deaths of Jackie Rose Nations (59†) and Naftali Nathan Vilensky (72†) yet did nothing. Painter conducted a self-serving and collusive investigation which ended in a finding of no probable cause. Mitchell then used that false premise to persuade US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to drop their ongoing investigation of Council House. Federal officials used the bogus Painter findings to evade their responsibilities which resulted in a monumental escalation of elder abuse at Council House. Federal, state, and municipal authorities hold a mandate to prosecute cases of elder abuse and neglect of disabled people. By law, they must work collaboratively with police, social service agencies, and medical professionals to improve referral, investigation, and, ultimately, prosecute cases of abuse and neglect of elderly people yet they fail to do so. Instead, they have granted impunity to Council House directors and managers.

Dereliction by Seattle Police Department Officer Adam Elias and other East Precinct officers complements the malignance of Stephen A. Mitchell, Audrey F. Dunbar, and Council House directors. Elias and several colleagues act as straw cops for directors and consort with Mitchell and Dunbar in filing false and misleading reports to cover up elder abuse. This syndicate has repeatedly tried to kill the messenger who reports elder abuse by misusing legal process and filing trumped-up criminal charges. Police officers indulged in monkey business - a dangerous real life portrayal of immature, inappropriate, and illegal behavior reminiscent of Keystone Kop farces. A recent trumped-up charge filed by Elias and Mitchell pertains to publication of a cartoon of a “monkey terrorist”. Their behavior would rank as hilarious if not intended to send the cartoonist back to jail. The cartoon classified as pure speech constitutionally protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, a fact later confirmed by a Washington Supreme Court decision. It formed no part of any restraining order. In fact, an unlawful prior restraint that censored the author’s work for more than four years specifically permitted the use of pseudonyms and did not censor anthropomorphic cartoons.

Police stopped Jennifer K. Abelson for a traffic violation. Several days later she filed a complaint against the officer in which she said that he made a sexual advance. The officer (still anonymous) denied the accusation. On the recommendation of Sandra Kay Pailca, Director, Office of Professional Accountability (OPA), City Attorney Thomas A. Carr brought criminal charges against Abelson for filing a false and misleading report. City of Seattle prosecutors filed two charges for making a false statement to a public servant . If convicted on this gross misdemeanor, then Abelson could receive punishment of up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. Hector Castro, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, wrote (24 Jan 04) about a scheduled hearing (26 Jan 04) in Seattle Municipal Court. There the paper trail started and any coherence ended which arouses mistrust in the reporting by both the newspaper and OPA.

A reasonable person finds it hard to believe that forty-five elderly people have knowingly agreed to testify for Council House on complex constitutional issues in two legal hearings when they have no knowledge of the facts, constitutional law, or any background information. However, that becomes plausible when one considers the history. Mitchell and Council House directors have repeatedly lied, committed perjury, and suborned tenants (persuaded them to offer false testimony or sign perjured declarations) in order to deprive others of their civil and human rights. The names of 17 repeated perjurers appear among the 45 witnesses on the list. Those tenants and their guests previously filed perjured declarations or offered false testimony after directors suborned, coerced, or used them as straw men during a five-year period. They left a trail of lies and manufactured evidence instead of truth and facts. In Washington state, perjury by signing false or misleading declarations or offering false testimony classifies as a class B felony. That offense carries a maximum punishment of ten years in a correctional institution, and/or a $20,000 fine, on each count.

Investigations at Council House for more than five years show an extensive pattern or practice of elder abuse and denial of civil and human rights, also due process of law. "Pattern or practice" means an intentional violation of rights granted by the Civil Rights Act evidenced by more than an isolated instance, or by regular repeated conduct in violation of that Act. Legal action can occur under the Fair Housing Act when there is reason to believe that a person engaged in a "pattern or practice" of discrimination against an individual or a group of people that raises an issue of "general public importance." Council House, Seattle, discriminates against both individuals and groups. Courts have found a "pattern or practice" when evidence establishes that the discriminatory actions relate to regular practice, rather than isolated instances. Six of the eight witnesses who filed declarations against in a recent case previously filed perjured declarations against other tenants. Directors and their thugs have consistently suborned a tenant elite. In addition, six directors committed perjury which they used to pervert justice. Corrupt judges have repeatedly disallowed discovery and cross-examination that would have exposed those crimes: instead, they granted impunity. In Washington state, perjury by signing false or misleading declarations classifies as a class B felony. That offense carries a maximum punishment of ten years in a correctional institution, and/or a $20,000 fine, on each count.

A unanimous decision by Washington Supreme Court has reversed trial court prior restraint findings by Judge James A. Doerty. It allows publication of the names of those Council House directors, staff, and tenants who allegedly suborned or filed perjured testimony. The prior restraint has existed for more than five years which has allowed many of the people listed, and others outside the ambit, to commit perjury and subornation on a grand scale. A plethora of law suits at Council House probably shows a pattern or practice of malicious criminal intent, ostensibly, to cover up crimes. Doerty granted impunity by frustrating legal representation and disallowing a discovery process also cross-examination of witnesses.

Council House directors rely upon censorship and propaganda to direct public attention away from dysfunctional behavior, resident abuse, and misappropriation of federal funds. Expression becomes meaningless without freedom to publish ideas and opinion. Directors silence dissenters with court orders for prior restraint then jail them. Judge projects his dysfunction and bias upon an elderly reporter. Unlawful withholding of documents subject to public disclosure laws. Systematic manipulation of symbols, aimed at promoting uniform behavior of a closed society (ghetto) congruent with the religious, racial, and nationalistic imperatives of directors. Creating media news coverage based upon disinformation and racial objectives. Using religious newspapers to pervert legal process and to disseminate false information.

Civil rights proponents have focused upon individual discrimination since the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Generally, they now deny that it exists and paper over that falsity with political correctness. More seriously, a recent US supreme court decision moved to repeal inadequate past reforms by adding an “intent to discriminate” provision to anti-discrimination law making it almost impossible to obtain relief. This provision evidences in a case now on appeal by Lauren Jeanne Hawk. If the directors of Council House, Seattle, with their stated exclusion of people of color at any meaningful level of employment or directorship, thoroughly investigated they would find infinitely more than exclusion. They would find solidified within their Jewish ghetto an anti-black attitude. This has occurred despite pious claims to the suffering of their own race and centuries of anti-Semitism. A tragic irony encompasses Council House directors. They all belong to the Jewish faith and several of them hold prominent positions in synagogues. In their arrogance and disregard for law, they have apparently abandoned Jewish religious morals in favor of a secular commitment to Zionism. That particularly affects people of color because it singles them out for surveillance and harassment based upon the color of their skin.

Stephen (Stefan) A. Mitchell, Council House, Seattle, refers to himself as the “music minister” and uses freedom of expression for that self-portrayal. His spiritual hypocrisy supports neo-fascism in his role as a landlord. Besieged by federal and state lawsuits connected with his elder abuse and racism he responded to them in the only way that he knows how - with lies and deceit. He has for seven years distributed false and misleading information about tenants to cover up elder abuse. Thomas A. Carr, Seattle City Attorney and Jeaneen Watkins, Harassment Advocate have covered up Council House crimes for several years. Instead of prosecuting directors and employees, Carr has maliciously prosecuted their victims. Malicious prosecution classifies as a felony. Any person without probable cause who fabricates reasons to arrest innocent people and attempts to prosecute them commits a class C felony punishable upon conviction with imprisonment in a state correctional facility for not more than five years.

Greg Nickels, Mayor, City of Seattle, Washington, claims that a primary challenge of diversity relates to an ongoing struggle to create a community that values all people regardless of background. He claims that his administration will seek to increase economic opportunity, education, civic engagement, health, and criminal justice relevant to Seattle's diverse populations. After examination of practices rampant in several city departments, in particular, Seattle City Attorney's Office, and, by association, Seattle Office of Civil Rights (SOCR), a reasonable person can only conclude that Nickel’s claims amount to nothing more than disingenuousness. Nickels has known about the situation at Council House, Seattle, for the whole of his term. Although that situation involves multiple elder abuse, and at least two cases of alleged homicide by abuse, he has done nothing to investigate it. Neither has he done anything to alleviate the racial discrimination and elder abuse that runs rampant in that government financially-assisted apartment block.

Seattle Jewish Mafia (SJM) has destroyed Contra Cabal web site three times in attempts to silence the author and to cover up elder abuse by Council House directors. SJM has shown a pattern of racketeering. A RICO pattern means two or more organized criminal acts which indicate ensuant activity. Those acts include conspiracy to commit crimes of coercion by wrongful use of force or fear. Mobsters want the author back in jail to stop him writing. Destruction of Contra Cabal web site forms part of that strategy. City of Seattle officials and police have colluded with them in unlawful activity to protect their political allies from prosecution. The electorate should consider impeachment of City Attorney Thomas Aquinas Carr (reelected unopposed 2005) as more devil incarnate than saint.

Council House directors and spouses suborned perjury and two judges committed judicial misconduct in a conspiracy to organize the railroading of a journalist. Other directors and judges supported them in these unlawful acts. Washington Supreme Court unanimously reversed rulings by Washington Superior Court (Doerty) and Washington Court of Appeals (Becker) that relate to Council House. Seattle Municipal Court dismissed frivolous criminal charges filed by Seattle City Attorney Thomas A. Carr. Both findings vindicated the author of the newsletters.

Council House Directors conspired with judges to place the author in solitary confinement without due process of law or legal counsel. Their unlawful acts caused several near-death experiences which resulted from arbitrary incarceration and solitary confinement as a political detainee. By that, they contravened most of the articles in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Then they retroactively filed perjured testimony to cover up their unlawful acts. Washington Supreme Court unanimously reversed rulings by Washington Superior Court (Doerty) and Washington Court of Appeals (Becker) that relate to Council House. Seattle Municipal Court dismissed frivolous criminal charges filed by Seattle City Attorney Thomas A. Carr. Both findings vindicated the author.

Council House, Seattle, directors rely upon impunity and anonymity to completely disregard law. They feel secure with six judges in their pocket and an unlimited straw-man resource at their disposal. Morally wrong in principle or practice, they use straw men (straws) as a front to cover their questionable activities. Straw judges grant them anonymity and impunity; straw lawyers help them evade their responsibilities and the law through deception, misrepresentation, and arrest or incarceration of innocent people; straw witnesses provide perjured testimony. They all know that evil people wish to remain anonymous and work to achieve that goal. The directors rely upon censorship and propaganda to direct public attention away from dysfunctional behavior, elder abuse, and misappropriation of federal funds. They know that expression becomes meaningless without freedom to publish ideas and opinion. Consequently, they silence dissenters and reporters with court orders for prior restraint, or jail them.

After more than five years of harassment and denial of constitutional rights by their landlord Stephen A. Mitchell (40), Pola Doenyas (75) and Gilda Kabbani (70±) decided to bring his persecution to an end. They filed in US District Court, Western District of Washington, for injunctive relief. Doenyas has now withdrawn as a plaintiff in the action. Doenyas wrote: "I am sorry that I cannot be strong enough to participate in anything. I am worried a lot. I feel my life is coming to an end. I have been suffering from headaches [over court actions] . . . all [this] is ruining my health physically and emotionally. I received numerous calls from people that read about me on the Internet; they reprimand me and I cannot deal with life". Gretchen H-rb-son, Bullshit Harass Bendover (BHB), Seattle, a lawyer acting for Mitchell and Council House, has filed a duplicitous response to a motion set for hearing (30 Sep 05). In a parallel Council House case, Herbison transmitted confidential information to Mitchell who immediately tampered with some witnesses and intimidated others. Those witnesses included Doenyas and Kabbani. Pseudonyms comply with a gag order issued by Judge James A. Doerty that grants Council House attorneys anonymity contrary to Washington State Bar Association Rules for Professional Conduct.

Clients have a right to know about unethical conduct by law firm employees. The article features and exposes alleged criminal activity and professional misconduct by Bullshit Harass Bendover (BHB) lawyers. Instead of addressing the issues contained in a previous article through a continuing dialog between lawyers, BHB decided to try to kill the messenger. The firm tried to close down the Contra Cabal web site using a denial-of-service attack. Although warned about violation of federal laws, BHB has apparently repeated the misconduct by changing the proxy to a foreign country. Violations now exceed the minimum amount set by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for financial damage. This allows FBI agents to proceed with a full investigation and indictment.

Publication of the original edition of Tell it to the Judge, by Jiminy! (28 Sep 05), which featured and exposed alleged criminal and professional misconduct by a Bullshit Harass Bendover (BHB) lawyer, has evidently caused the firm to violate Internet Acceptable Use Policies (AUP). Instead of addressing the issues contained in the article through a continuing dialog between lawyers, BHB decided to try to kill the messenger. The firm has effectively tried to close down Contra Cabal web site using a denial-of-service attack. Having achieved worldwide infamy, BHB has hit the news again by "flooding" the Internet, thereby preventing legitimate traffic to flow. Such attacks can disable a web site and by extension an organization. Generally, denial-of-service attacks attempt to prevent legitimate users from accessing specific web sites. Contra Cabal published a cartoon (28 Sep 05) depicting how a harassed plaintiff had withdrawn from a federal case after intimidation by a BHB lawyer and others. Instead of assuaging racism and elder abuse, that lawyer helped ratchet up coercion to a point where the seventy-five year old witness withdrew from the case in distress.

Lying to get someone else into trouble, or to embarrass them, ranks as despicable and morally indefensible. Lying to get someone jailed for offenses they did not commit ranks as legally indefensible. Lying in a judicial proceeding ranks as criminal. Suborning perjury by procuring others to lie under an oath with the sole intent of jailing someone else, ranks even more grievously. Writing in a satirical genre requires the writer to become completely vulnerable. Jonathan Swift claimed that people see a reflection of everybody’s face but their own in satirical portrayal - that writing offends only those who recognize themselves. Many writers cannot expose themselves through insecurity and fear of retribution if they use their First Amendment rights to state their opinion publicly. Political silence then allows absolute control by those who have power over those who have none.

Interfering in the lifestyles of senior citizens by terrorizing them has become endemic and a common practice in many nursing homes. This ranks even more seriously when neo-fascist landlords classify tenants living in independent-living apartment blocks as vulnerable adults then terrorize them to control them politically. Council House (Seattle) tenants do not require supervision and live independently as do tenants in any apartment block. The only difference relates to age and government subsidy. In effect, the law protects that category of people more than others from landlord abuse. Yet, the directors and their representatives wilfully abuse tenants by misusing supervisory rules that apply only to residents of nursing homes for vulnerable people (people declared incompetent) not to tenants of apartment blocks for independent living. For senior citizen tenants who insist upon their civil and human rights, life becomes a living hell when sociopathic managers subject them to humiliation and abuse. Council House managers employ thugs and an elite to provoke incidents among tenants and to file false complaints of violence. Maniacal administrators think nothing of waging an insane, evil war against people they do not like or with whom they do not agree. They retaliate against people who complain about unlawful and sometimes insane activities to government oversight agencies.

Judith T. Newman (University of Oregon) posed as a social worker to conduct an illegal sting. Steven E. Brown (Evergreen Healthcare) and Dave Frohnmayer (University of Oregon) have not addressed illegal activity by Newman; instead, they condoned a cover-up. Seattle Jewish Mafia has spread its tentacles into Oregon with another cover-up of elder abuse in the guise of geriatric counseling. Dereliction by Evergreen Healthcare and University of Oregon administrators with respect to crimes committed at Council House, Seattle and a subsequent cover-up of behavior by Newman that allegedly violated federal and state laws. Victor J. DeLeon, President, Council House declined several requests by Lauren Jeanne Hawk, a Council House tenant, to speak with him personally. Instead, he allegedly instructed Newman to contact her. Newman’s subsequent actions construe as a deliberate invasion by a landlord on the common law right to privacy of a tenant living independently in a government-subsidized apartment block.

Council House rents independent-living apartments to senior citizens. The building does not classify as a nursing home and may not by law house vulnerable adults. The term “vulnerable adults” means people sixty years of age or older who have the functional, mental, or physical inability to care for themselves. State of Washington authorizes and coordinates state services for persons with disabilities. It cooperates with communities to encourage the establishment and development of services through locally administered and locally controlled programs. Council House does not classify as one of those programs yet rents apartments to vulnerable adults totally incapable of caring for themselves.

A claim by Stephen (aka Stefan) A. Mitchell (40), Council House, Seattle, building manager, that no racism ever occurred in the building ranks as patently absurd and reflects his repeated practice of lying to authorities. A racist, he has employed at least three other racists as his assistants , and uses five racist Kapos (enforcers or thugs) to do his dirty work. Racism condoned and financially supported by an all-Jewish* board of directors has existed for at least ten years in that accommodation for independent living.

The administrator does not allow rational discussion, instead, he quashes complaints. This gives him and his lieutenants absolute power to terrorize residents with whom they disagree. From fear, they decide to cooperate despite inherent ethics or morals. He uses the therapeutic term “feeling” as a weasel word - he equivocates by avoiding an outright assertion. He coerces residents into thinking that others pose a danger to them when they do not. Statements made by him at a tape recorded Coffee with Steve meeting exemplify this ploy. The directors run Council House along Zionist lines which makes peaceful coexistence between Jewish tenants and other races and religions an increasingly intractable problem. Council House directors exclude all other races from board involvement or management of this government financially-assisted apartment block following Zionist exclusionary (racist) principles. Zionism, an organized movement of world Jewry, arose in Europe in the late 19th century with the aim of reconstituting a Jewish state in Palestine. Modern Zionism supports the state of Israel to the exclusion of other races and religions. Currently, Zionism founds upon the support of two principles: the autonomy and safety of the state of Israel and the right of any Jew to settle there to the exclusion of everybody else.

Besieged by federal and state lawsuits connected with his elder abuse and racism, Stephen A Mitchell responded to them in the only way that he knows how - with pathological lying and deceit. During 2006, Council House either lost or had dismissed at least ten frivolous or capricious lawsuits based upon perjury and subornation that they filed against tenants using false and misleading declarations.Several tenants brought lawsuits to protect themselves against sociopathic behavior by Mitchell and his enforcers which Victor J. DeLeon, the current Council House president condoned. They eventually prevailed in courts at all levels to Washington supreme court despite judicial misconduct by several corrupt straw judges who published biased findings to support Council House directors. HUD designated Council House a residence for independent living which makes managers state actors subject to HUD regulations. It offers annual leases for independent living apartments subject to landlord and tenant laws in the same way as any commercial apartment block. HUD involvement relates only to rent subsidies, oversight of eligible tenants, and enforcement of its regulations.

Lily Dubner (68), paid double the approved market rent for a first month occupancy to see whether she liked the location on the understanding that at the end of that month she would receive a regular lease if she wanted it. She had cancer which needed regular treatment and wanted to live near the hospital. Dubner made the unforgivable mistake of associating with another tenant who reads these columns and discusses the content with other residents. On hearing of the association, the administrator rescinded the agreement to grant a lease and backdated a letter of confirmation. He threw her out with nowhere to stay that night and gave her neither notice nor a refund of her money.

Irene H. Hull (89), one of the first labor union organizers to fight for equal rights for women in the workplace, solicited signatures at Council House for a petition about American policy on Iraq. More than fifty of the approximately 150 Council House residents signed it. Hull presented her petition at a residents’ association meeting and solicited signatures. A Council House Kapo publicly ridiculed her before he reported her to the administrator. The administrator told her that he does not allow solicitation inside the building “which is private property” despite federal laws that apply to the building and the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Seattle Municipal Code clearly prohibits landlords from preventing residents from initiating and having contact with other tenants or distributing political or religious tracts.

During a Sunday afternoon, a Latino dumped Nate Vilensky in an apartment at Council House. He neither spoke nor understood English. Vilensky, confined to a wheelchair and naked except for a hospital johnny and a medical ID bracelet needed immediate help. The previous week, administrators and an attorney evidently signed a lease for an apartment to house Vilensky knowing that he classified as a vulnerable adult. Council House does not have administrative staff qualified to cater to the needs of people capable of independent living let alone vulnerable adults. Moreover, staff do not work weekends or holidays. The Latino set up a bed then piled boxes and loose clothing in the apartment and left other items strewn in the passageway before he left the building. Vilensky asked me to help him find his equipment and to hang up some of his clothes. That was my first introduction to the late Naftali Nathan Vilensky (72†) whom I soon recognized as lucid and articulate despite his extensive physical disabilities. Council House rents independent-living apartments to senior citizens. The building does not classify as a nursing home and may not by law house vulnerable adults. The term “vulnerable adults” means people sixty years of age or older who have the functional, mental, or physical inability to care for themselves. Council House must not by law rent to them although it has done so on several occasions for financial gain.

Constructive eviction attempt not harassment. Frivolous anti-harassment orders and police action against senior citizens. Racial and religious motivation. Anti-harassment orders can only apply when a person proves severe emotional distress. Kill-the-messenger techniques. Refusal to use HUD administrative procedures to solve problems. HUD officials unresponsive to complaints by residents. Coercion and perjury by administrator. Judge gives admonition for dereliction and managerial incompetence.

Manager uses absolutist policies to administer senior citizen apartment block. Does nothing when residents use the term "shvarzer" (Yiddish - nigger) in the public rooms. Coercion of elderly residents into writing apologetic letters or confessions used to make false declarations in court. Management Kapo physically attacked two black women. Administrator filed false and misleading documents with the court after suborning multiple perjury. Declarants not cross-examination or deposed. Directors exhibit a large Israeli flag in the dining room which fuels racist fires.

Constructive eviction attempt against senior citizen. Jewish resident looking at black children playing said: “What is this - the planet of the apes?” Ethnic and religious debacle at Council House continued to degenerate until confrontation occurred. Kapo threatened reporter with metal walking stick in court then later ambushed and assaulted him in the street. Judges informally found the Kapo’s conduct obstructionist and indefensible then provided protection of the court. Management has done nothing to resolve racism that has escalated over fifteen years.

Judge denied antiharassment order for lack of proof of severe emotional stress. Broadcast statements may offend but do not cause emotional stress. Harassment describes what people do not what they say publicly. Complainant initiated contact most times. Manager frequently used antiharassment orders unlawfully to evict residents. Conflict of interest because management arbitrarily supported one resident against another. Attorney had pattern of professional misconduct subject to disciplinary censure for advocating or condoning criminal activity. Judge admonished manager for not taking care of problems administratively.

Willie Mae Williams (78), a black woman, lived at Council House for three decades and claimed not to have had a problem with anyone until she suffered a physical assault in the lobby. Virginia D. Lambert, a management Kapo (thug) and stool-pigeon tried to strangle her for no particular reason other than racism. People of color live daily with the effects of both institutional and individual racism. Epithets like “racist” and “racism” have reached a new height of offensiveness through abusive and contemptuous use. They identify the reality that generally applies in a politically correct society which denies that discrimination exists. Council House directors and administrators form part of that constituency and collectively act in similar ways to those of individual racists. After her assault, Willie May Williams moved away from Council House. Whether she left because of the assault, racism, or for other reasons the perception of racism exists supported by ongoing racist administrative patterns or practices. An established elite continues to implement those policies through ostracism.

Jackie Rose Nations (59†), mentally disabled since birth, committed suicide by jumping from her sixth-floor apartment window during the early hours. A healthy and fairly active woman for her size, Nations evidently died a painful, lingering death. She lay dying on a roof for up to three hours without help according to medical reports while a “security guard” slept. According to several witnesses, her niece (35), considered her a burden and constantly abused her. A question whether she committed suicide in despair or as revenge upon her family for the abuse that she experienced, will forever remain unanswered. Her family and Council House directors need to answer many questions.

A reporter investigates indifference and dereliction then challenges the sanity of a board of directors. A judge called a freelance journalist “poseur” because he did not draw a regular salary from a publisher. Landlords terrorize tenants by redirecting the turmoil from the wings of their own madness. Tyranny starts with one unlawful imprisonment and massacre starts with a single death.

Background about how Council House debacle occurred and how the author became involved with it. First Amendment issues have now become a matter of international concern. Management has used racist propaganda to counter allegations of senior citizen abuse and misappropriation of government funds.

For eighteen months, the Council House administrator, harassed a retired professor and investigative reporter living at Council House, by using ostracism and public humiliation. He also encouraged several tenants and one of his thugs to indulge in a campaign of sleep deprivation, blackmail, and threats of physical assault, to try to stop him writing about resident abuse. The administrator and a resident organized a frame-up and perjured testimony from other residents to create grounds for eviction. The reporter obtained a temporary restraining order against the administrator that he repeatedly violated.

Life in a Seattle Squirrel Cage

Council House, Capitol Hill, Seattle, claims to offer first-class accommodations at modest rentals. However, building sickness, noise pollution, lack of security, and a procrastinating administrator have resulted in anarchy and potential disaster. Advertisements claim that the facility has rooms with a view, comfort, security, companionship, and independence. However, Mark T. Mullen (the administrator) does not tell potential residents about the sick building and other problems that disadvantage residents although he knows about them. Instead, he uses Grace Burton (his resident spin doctor) and others to propagandize the benefits and cover up the disadvantages of this squirrel cage.

The Mullen Legacy

Mark Mullen announced his resignation as administrator and director of Council House, Inc. a nonprofit corporation. He sang a heart-rending swan song citing the primary reason for leaving as a need for an increase in salary. This despite receiving a $5,104.00 (10.63%) increase this year and a "generous holiday gift" from the Council House board at the end of 1999. Less than 30% of the residents attended the meeting. Mullen, and incidentally Grace Burton his personal pandering pygmy, subjected the gathering to a one-hour, self-interested exaggeration in keeping with Mullen's normal doublespeak. Mullen has taken a job as administrator, Fred Lind Manor, Seattle, apparently a division of Fairview Baptist Ministries. By his own description, he will become a small cog in a large wheel.

[Print PDF - 801-02-00-0524.pdf]

During the time that Stephen Mitchell spent as deputy to Mark Mullen he frequently received complaints about noise pollution. He responded with empathic anecdotes about his own apartment in a private residential building. He explained that he allowed the noise made by his neighbors to reach a high-decibel level then complained to them. However, he has done nothing to complain to recalcitrant Council House residents about the noise that they make although he receives a salary to perform that duty. Evidently, Mitchell will act in his own interest to reduce the noise in his own apartment but will do nothing to abate the noise at Council House. Now that he has assumed the position of acting administrator he has a greater responsibility to use the authority granted to him by resident leases. He still does nothing. Instead, he apparently plays with his sci-fi toys in a futuristic make-believe world. Residents have rights guaranteed by law. If the directors appoint their court jester as thespian administrator then they cannot expect anything but a comedy of errors. Silverman et al have decided to give an actor responsibilities that he cannot handle: a decision unfair to both Mitchell and Council House residents.

Theater of the Absurd

Unregulated freedom means anarchy and absolute order means despotism. A free society seeks to achieve a compromise between these two extremes. Then a substantial amount of individual liberty may simultaneously subsist with public order. Denying a few anarchistic residents their power and consistently challenging an oligarchic administration will eventually destroy absolutism. Apparently, the spirit and drive of the original gray panthers died. Perhaps the Council House panthers should stop surrendering to an oligarchy and sharpen their claws. They can then democratically reassert their civil rights. The spirit of the original panthers may then return to haunt a new generation of aggressors. Council House policies effectively deprive residents of their right to a quiet and peaceful environment and access to grievance procedures. The board of directors ignores appeals for change while Mitchell neglects to enforce existing rules and laws.

Tall Structure Terror and Reprise

Previous editions of Disconnected have detailed the lack of security that exists at Council House. Both the board of directors and the administrator have continued to ignore security breaches reported to them. This has resulted in a dangerous situation: so dangerous that Nmesis has delayed publication of this essay for five months. Professional ethics require journalists to refrain from publishing details of crimes that would cause harm to innocent residents. Releasing this information could have provoked the people involved and caused death or injury. The danger to residents has probably now lessened which permits publication. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI-Seattle) has not declared that a direct connection between the Ahmed Ressam case and the employment of an Islamic terrorist sympathizer as a security guard at Council House exists. However, parallel time-frames and similar ideology gave reasonable cause to inform FBI-Seattle of his allegedly seditious behavior. Also read the appended reprise which shows how Council House manipulated facts and deliberately committed perjury.

Ethnic Discrimination

Historically, ethnic minority groups have united through their mutual experience of oppression, their fight against bigotry, and their quest for social justice. However, the ethnic relationship between landlord and tenant, or the powerful and the powerless, remains volatile. Latent prejudices have passed from generation to generation until they have become distorted through ignorance and affluence. Ethnic discrimination in housing lingers like a bad habit: it encourages ordinarily neutral people to become bigots.

Benevolent Despotism

That the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) appointed approximately fifteen Jewish directors who in turn employed three supremacist managers to run a residence for senior citizens, sounds truly oxymoronic. However, tyrannical managers run Council House, Seattle, under the guise of benevolence. In fact, the residence management subsists as a benevolent dictatorship. Managers impose a centralized authority using stringent socioeconomic controls. Those controls include suppressing opposition through terror, censorship, and enforced confession for alleged wrongdoing. They exercise belligerent autonomy. They manipulate race, color, creed, national origin, gender, age, and familial status, contrary to federal laws and democratic principles. They enforce an ideology or political philosophy that advocates oppressive, dictatorial control. Collectively, they operate under the aegis of "democratic fascism".

Orthodoxy of Dissent

Two successive administrators and their staff have consistently neglected to comply with HUD directives when managing the building and dealing with residents over a fifteen-year period. They have shown a pattern of violating federal laws and denying residents their civil rights. They deny due process of law and use an aggressive administrative staff and five violent enforcers to silence detractors. Consistently, they use kill-the-messenger techniques and police to destroy any lawful criticism. They use coercive persuasion to cover their incompetence then abuse power to avoid responsibility. They instill fear to try to manage the minds of senior citizens within a predetermined ideology. The directors keep their names and addresses secret and obtain injunctions to restrain journalists from publishing them. However, they use similar information taken from residents' private files to intimidate them. They have agreed not to reveal any information that they have collected under a federal agreement. However, they arbitrarily reveal confidential information that residents have entrusted to them when it suits their "disciplinary" and "zero tolerance" policies.

Thespian Liar

Actors who cannot make a living at their profession live in a manic conflict. A few infiltrate the community at large for economic reasons. They use their acting skills to survive by persuading gullible employers that they can perform the functions for which they receive payment. An examination of their motives leads to a better understanding of their scruples or lack of them. Especially, it explains the art of thespian lying. Astute reporters maintain a balance between reason and good sense. Consequently, they seldom treat actors with respect or believe what they say. If they did then it would affect their objectivity. Believing actors at face value would result in fiction instead of reporting facts.

[Print PDF - 801-09-00-03-1203.pdf]

First Amendment issues affect all journalists. Senior citizen abuse and misappropriation of government funds. Council House classifies as an apartment block with landlords and tenants subject to state, municipal, and federal laws. US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) financially-assisted housing. Council House not a nursing home. Landlords have no right to interfere in tenant lifestyles or politics or to enter their apartments without their permission.

Council House directors and administrators have imposed bizarre psychological cloning techniques upon their tenants. Mindfulness allows individuals to adopt a positive attitude. Mindlessness prevents recognition of universal rights either from ignorance, mental illness, or ideological coercion. Identity advocates rely upon vulnerability and coercion to separate people into religious or ideological groups. They use race, religion, or ideology, to control them. People exhibit symptoms that distinguish the sane from the insane. Normality and abnormality travel with the person and have distinct, easily recognizable attributes.

Federal regulations do not allow people with mental health problems to occupy independent-living facilities let alone manage them. Lunacy means mental illness that destroys individual responsibility through psychotic belief. It manifests in a disordered mind that imagines fiction as fact. Histrionic individuals use excessively impressionistic speech. Self-dramatization and theatricality figure strongly. Sense of entitlement demands favorable treatment and automatic compliance with unreal expectations. Journal of American Medical Association evaluates prevalence, severity, and treatment of DSM-IV mental disorders in fourteen countries. The research documented mental disorders as having greater effects on role functioning than many serious chronic physical illnesses. It showed uniformly that most mental orders remain untreated. Prevalence of mental disorder ranked generally higher than any other chronic condition. Among fourteen countries surveyed United States (26.3%) ranked highest for mental disorder and Italy (8.2%), Germany (9.1%), and Spain (9.2%) lowest.

The true division of humanity lies between those living in light and those living in darkness. Reading a few books on philosophy does not make a person who cannot think a philosopher. Like Marquis de Sade, a Council House resident propounds atheism, claims noble birth, takes violence to the limit, and received a Jesuit education in Paris. Allowing an unstable individual to drive a van full of senior citizens ranks as not only preposterous but negligent and dangerous.

Letter typical of many letters written to draw attention to the violence and misappropriation of funds at Council House. Those letters gave an opportunity to respond to exposé about behavior by thugs. Discrimination had not fully manifested at the time of writing them. Extensive racial and religious discrimination surfaced later. Directors did not respond and begged the question. They appointed attorneys connected with Herzl-Ner Tamid Conservative Congregation to cover up crimes. Special privileges given to thugs who intimidate residents in a violet manner. Court order issued by Judge James A. Doerty (now on appeal) precludes mentioning directors’ and staff names. That order effectively gives thugs immunity to continue to distribute hate mail and to act violently.

Council House allegedly violates HUD rules by charging for in-house services also van trips for shopping. Driver claims to have had a serious heart condition since his first stroke (1991) yet continued to drive a van with fifteen passengers. Washington Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) expressly warns against employing drivers with deteriorating heart conditions particularly drivers who use drugs and have limb impairment. Administrator continues to put residents at risk of death or injury despite repeated warnings. Directors continue to adopt an indifferent attitude. Drivers need to protect senior citizens and those around them. Council House management ignores the dangers in order to make money.

Rugged individualism has died and the law gives no protection as a natural consequence. As public opinion decreases so totalitarianism increases. Those with power and wealth use race to limit opportunities and to create a division that demeans everyone. Landlords have centralized socioeconomic authority and impose a neo-fascist ideology upon tenants of an apartment block.

A consortium of Jews and neo-fascists advocates extremism to achieve similar goals. Separate policies applied equally to the detriment of the multiethnic and impoverished people whom the taxpayer has made it possible for them to serve. From a social perspective they despise each other but have a common need - money. Anti-Semitic Semites hate their Jewishness but fear assimilation - a finality that makes them pariahs among Jews.

Directors employed an out-of-work actor as administrator then condoned his coercion of tenants to behave unlawfully. Several administrators persecuted disadvantaged senior citizens using racial discrimination and other abuse. The all-Jewish board of directors knows about the prejudice and oppression suffered by their forbears yet they allow their administrators to use similar techniques to abuse aged, impoverished, immigrant Jews, and other ethnic minorities. Primarily, they induce individualized evil shrouded by court-ordered anonymity. They employ kapos (thugs) to carry out their orders and enforce repugnant ideologies. Congress has mandated procedures for complaints, a democratic resident association, and administration accountability to tenants. Directors have negated those procedures by appointing tyrants as administrators and condoning neo-fascist policies enforced by thugs. Evil, anonymity, and social terrorism come in all stripes and colors and know no bounds at Council House, Seattle.

Stefan Mitchell receives a high salary as administrator of Council House, a government financially-assisted apartment block in Seattle, yet spends most of his time running theatrical and pseudo-religious enterprises. In his role as administrator he practices neo-fascism while in his acting persona he portrays the attributes of a saint. On stage, he switches to his persona then prays piously. By day, he reverts to tyranny using court-ordered anonymity obtained by his directors. He despises those whom he deceives and has no self-respect when he dupes a board of seemingly educated and principled directors into condoning his evil practices.

Council House, a tragi-comedy with another disaster waiting to happen. Racial policies insure that power and equity participation remains within a distinct group. A former co-president relies on immunity from prosecution through her husband - a judge. Nazis did not glorify themselves as pillars of the temple or as the spirit of truth and freedom.

A judge, husband of a litigant, allegedly intervened through ex parte communication - gross judicial misconduct. Another superior court judge typed his finding before a hearing then disallowed oral argument. Gag orders and the unlawful imprisonment of a journalist. Queer judges should not use children as political propaganda thereby perpetuating a false pedophilic connection.

For identity advocates, the term “diversity” means de facto segregation not acculturation. Federal law forbids religious and racial control in government financially-assisted facilities. It also decries thuggery. Directors allow managers and their resident thugs to use zero-tolerance policies to divide and conquer then enforce neo-fascist ideologies. Devastating influence on all residents. Nazis singled out Jews to head work gangs in concentration camps often chosen from a criminal element. These“Kapos” received preferential treatment and frequently brutalized other prisoners. Neo-fascist Kapos significantly describes a triumvirate that projects its sickness onto others at Council House, Seattle.

Outing queers warns potential victims about intimidation of people with different religious or moral views than themselves. They must not use sexual proclivity as an excuse for violent behavior then avoid repercussion by claiming discrimination. Much queer violence stems from a need to establish masculinity that overcomes the stereotypic world-view of queers as effeminate. It also results from fear of bigoted people. Council House queers and the queer judge that they have in tow, while constitutionally entitled to protect themselves from discrimination and hate speech, must not take out their frustration on heterosexual residents by establishing or supporting a reign of terror.

Several Council House residents signed perjured declarations that directly resulted in the incarceration of another resident. Some of them reconsidered their legal position when they learned that perjury classifies as a class B felony punishable by a maximum of ten years in a state correctional institution and/or a $20,000 fine. They could lessen penalties or try to avoid future legal action against them for perjury through retraction of their testimony.

Journalists, especially investigative reporters, must hold people who administer taxpayer funds to account. This particularly applies when oversight authorities like City of Seattle and US Department of Housing and Urban Development neglect to obey municipal and federal mandates and attack reporters with impunity. Those authorities employ politically-motivated people who make decisions based on self-interest instead of the public good. Deplorably, they then use public relations flaks to deny access to public records in attempts to cover up their unlawful actions.

City of Seattle and US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) act as oversight authorities for Council House, Seattle, yet they regularly practice willful blindness. Michael J. Finkle, in a consort with Jeaneen Watkins (apparently responsible for harassment and elder abuse complaints), has ignored Council House tenant complaints for several years. CoS attorneys have also denied due process of law to tenants affected by false and misleading reports filed about them. Stephen A. Mitchell, a Council House director, filed those reports with several agencies as part of a vilification and blackmail campaign against tenants.

Department of Housing and Urban Development selected Housing Authority of the City of Bremerton (Washington) to become the Contract Administrator for Council House, Seattle. HUD claimed to have developed that initiative to improve its role in the community. Although HUD remained active in the partnership, the Contract Administrator assumed the primary role for liaison with owners and management agents for tasks previously performed by HUD Seattle and HUD Alaska.

The public should care about the availability of open records which make government employees accountable. However, those employees know the personal risk and do everything within their power to restrict access to public records. “Sunshine laws” serve the people. Investigative journalists use them to check on whether officials are complying with law. In Washington state, the Public Disclosure Act (RCW 42.17) codifies access to state and municipal records and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) controls access to federal records.

Council House directors have not complied with federal regulations that relate to Service Coordinators (counselors) that US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has funded for several years. Allegedly, the directors have used federal funds specifically appropriated for that purpose to employ out-of-work stage actors who have variously cast themselves as Service Coordinators, Mental Health Counselors, and Social Workers, all without the required state or federal qualifications.

Elderly people living in assisted housing have social needs that administrators find difficult to resolve effectively. Moreover, unmet needs have a devastating impact on residents and directly impact upon project management. In principle, the service coordinator fills this need and acts as part of the management team, This should make the administrator’s job easier and improve the lives of the residents.

Mental health counseling means the application of principles of human development, learning theory, group dynamics, mental illness etiology, and dysfunctional behavior treatment, for individuals or organizations. It covers the treatment of mental disorders and promoting optimal mental health and functionality. It can also include the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental and emotional disorders, educational prevention techniques, and “wellness techniques.” Counselors sometimes use wellness models to teach good physical and mental health. They contain instruction about proper diet, exercise, and habits.

Social work practice involves counseling using professional social work values, principles, and methods, by individuals trained under accredited social work graduate programs. It requires knowledge of human development and behavior, social systems, and social resources. Practitioners must follow the social work code of ethics and know about sensitivity to ethnic minority populations. Social work includes evaluation, assessment, psychopathology, consultation, psychotherapy, and counseling, it also includes prevention and educational services, administration, policy- making, research, and education directed toward client services.

Administrator consistently overrides medical advice to deny exemption from food program. Council House neither employs a dietician nor does it use a consultant. HUD survey shows that residents found mandatory meals programs detrimental to the quality of life. Residents need to understand their rights and responsibilities and insist upon properly constituted residents’ associations.

Judge James A. (Jiminy) Doerty, Washington Superior Court, controverts the principle and journalism ethic that seeks truth and reports it. Council House directors have obtained court orders and contempt citations to prevent publication of valid exposé. They consistently use kill-the-messenger techniques and misuse police to suppress lawful criticism. Laws protect Doerty’s speech and preserves his rights when he speaks for his own minority group. However, that has no impact upon his interpretation of law or rights when they apply to others.

Zero tolerance policies keep some residents in constant fear. Organized thuggery has caused residents to remain silent and withdrawn. They fear to speak their minds and retaliation for having done so. The mismanagement, misappropriation, and abuse have allegedly resulted in the death of two residents and unlawful incarceration of four others. Keeping a book of tenant mug shots and allowing access to it violates federal privacy regulations and carries a fine of up to $5,000 for each photograph upon conviction.

Misnomer "Christian Identity" has two distinct but conflicting meanings. Identity group meets the social needs and aspirations of a supremacist leader and special interests of directors. Virulent racism directed at black people and anti-Semitism prevail without any restraint by directors. Council House treats the elderly as vulnerable adults without the ability to reason - a coercive tactic used in many cults and identity groups.

Herzl-Ner Tamid and Temple De Hirsch Sinai allegedly support racial discrimination. Rabbi Starr evidently made assertions without proof and without allowing the person he accused an opportunity to refute his allegations. Anti-Defamation League (ADL) allegedly runs kangaroo courts to support journalist harassment. Seattle rabbis do not address issues that affect their congregations. They emulate behavior of rabbis in Germany in the 1930's

A letter to Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum, Herzl-Ner Tamid Conservative Congregation, Mercer Island, Seattle, Washington, drew his attention to some issues that he needed to address concerning Council House, Seattle. The letter gave him an opportunity to respond to exposé on how members of his congregation abuse senior citizens, misappropriate government funds, and practice racism and religious bigotry. His congregation includes several superior court judges, lawyers, and others who have run amok against all Judaic principles. Rosenbaum did not respond although he acknowledged receipt. He continues to harbor alleged criminals and bigots at the highest level of his administration.

A letter to Rabbi Earl S. Starr, formerly senior rabbi, Temple de Hirsch Sinai, Bellevue and Seattle, Washington, drew his attention to some issues that he needed to address about Council House. The letter gave him an opportunity to respond to exposé on how members of his congregation abuse senior citizens, misappropriate government funds, and practice racism and religious bigotry. His congregation includes members of the National Council of Jewish Women who controvert Judaic principles. Starr did not respond. He has since left Temple de Hirsch Sinai after allegedly embezzling trust funds.

Judge projected his dysfunction and bias upon an elderly reporter then jailed him. Unlawful withholding of documents subject to public disclosure laws. Gulag Archipelago or King County Jail? Hornet nest but no virgins at Herzl-Ner Tamid. Sadness about identity relates to skin color - an old white guy among African-Americans, Latinos, and Vietnamese. US constitution guarantees freedom of speech yet local elected judges think they know better. Judicial gangsters arbitrarily decide to ratchet-up coercion putting senior citizens right where they should be - behind bars.

Judge recused himself because he objected to the death penalty Judge Anthony P. Wartnik who allegedly committed judicial misconduct replaced him. MD feels grateful that his duties as a UK prison doctor do not include preparing prisoners fit for execution. Jewish judge volunteers to handle murder cases. Those judges failed to stand up to the Nazis in the 1930's but seventy years later they take out their frustration on minorities. Prison transforms men from the most squalid and litter-strewn parts of inner cities into fanatics of cleanliness but does nothing to stop recidivism. Infliction of excruciating physical pain, mental agony, and suspense through indeterminate sentencing as a coercive means ranks as torture under any definition. Recidivists claim they can show no respect for a system founded on law if judges display contempt for it. The public should know what has happened in the American justice system - it defies comprehension and goes beyond their wildest imagination.

Institutional racism means the collective failure of society in general, and institutions in particular, to provide services and justice to people of a particular color, culture, or ethnicity. Race relates to biology not to sociology. No direct correlation exists between race and political conduct, social thinking, and values. Singling out a biological given rather than paying attention to all the other factors reflects a divisive political agenda instead of sociological fact. Racist practices at Council House covered up by her perjury. Jewish religious ethics abandoned in favor of secular commitment to Zionism. Neo-fascism and extensive social and racial polarization bring new threats to human rights. Identity ideologists use racial identity to define conduct. Racist thought and practices continue to rely upon economic and political subordination. Both Jews and blacks show that they would not break with their past traditions and assimilate even if permitted to do so.

Written in solitary confinement, King County Jail, Washington. (05 Jun 02). Metamorphosis describes a total of 111 days jail experience without due process of law when a Washington judge demeaned and humiliated this elderly man, a writer for almost sixty years, by jailing him for the first time in his life. The reporter wrote the truth and exposed misappropriation of federal funds and abuse of senior citizens (tenants) by a judge’s wife, about fourteen other directors, and administrators (landlords) at Council House, Seattle, a government financially-assisted independent-living complex for senior citizens. Judge James A. Doerty, Washington Superior Court has since thwarted appeal of his decisions. He continues to withhold court documents and public records despite a supreme court ruling that requires the appellate court to hear the case. Doerty has effectively recused himself and a different judge will preside in the trial court to decide any issues referred by the appellate court.

Murder may rank as the worst crime but that does not make murderers the worst criminals - some judges rank much lower. People living in Washington state cannot trust the justice system to operate in an unbiased way because judges have personal agendas that violate the foundation of the legal system. Civil complaints result with indefinite confinement in jail after denial of legal representation. Hypocrisy in decisions by Judge James A. Doerty, Washington Superior Court, based upon ex parte communication with Judge Anthony P. Wartnik. Doerty’s bizarre behavior a matter of international concern after perversion of the legal process and denial of discovery processes. Executive described widespread hypocrisy among the judiciary on his own turf. A republic means allegiance to a country committed to living under the rule of law instead of fear and coercion. Fairness requires choosing a judiciary based upon agreed rules that govern the common good.

Oscar Wilde empathizes with a fellow inmate scheduled for hanging and creates a solemn tone in rhyme. Poem describes conditions that existed a century ago and now replicate in Washington state. It offers limited comfort to the condemned. Minorities still receive biased treatment from recalcitrant judges without regard for law. Notion of guilty until proved innocent persists. Feelings of an imprisoned man towards a fellow inmate who may face execution. Emotions filtered through an uncertainty about the law that has condemned him. Confinement in latrine-like cells undermine a longing for innocence and beauty. Writer’s personal association with an inmate in King County Jail presently awaiting trial and probably a death sentence. Ironically, the same judge who had a hand in jailing the writer presides over that case.

The Secretary of State, State of Washington, requires nonprofit corporations to file an annual report containing names and addresses of all officers and directors. For more than a year, this page listed the names and addresses of the Directors and Administrators, Council House, Seattle. Judge James A. Doerty, Superior Court of Washington, ordered the publisher to remove that information from this web site. That order pends appellate review. It denies use of information contained in public records disclosable under RCW 42.17 (Washington Public Disclosure Act). The Council House directors and administrators have plenty to hide. This court order helps them to hide it.

Bueaucrats involved either positively or negatively in the Council House debacle.

The Council House directors and administrators have plenty to hide. The court order helps them to hide it. The court order allows them to abrogate their responsibility and evade punishment for alleged crimes by censoring their names. Decision now on appeal to the Court of Appeals, Washington State.

Bueaucrats involved either positively or negatively in the Council House debacle.

Pathological lying - lying then believing the lies - manifests in Mitchell’s contradictory statements. He confuses listeners with feigned candor, however, they soon learn not to believe anything that he says. Reporters learn from Council House tenants to humor him.

Contra Cabal will soon publish articles which describe how Jackie Nations died and how her relatives and Council House administrators financially benefitted from her untimely death. The articles will also explain how the administrator choreographed incarceration of at least four residents then used them as examples to intimidate and instill fear into other senior citizens.

During incarceration in general population (86 days), Trummel contacted only three individuals by telephone none of them Council House residents or directors. Neither telephone harassment nor any other harassment occurred at any time before, during, or after incarceration. Council House has since failed to prove anything to the contrary. The administrator offers no proof to support his statements to reporters because he knows that he conspired in a massive frame-up that resulted in eviction and imprisonment.

Council House administrator, with his Jekyll and Hyde personality, has consistently lied about his qualifications and credentials. Instead of performing Council House duties (for which HUD provides taxpayer funds) he runs private theatrical enterprises. He holds no baccalaureate degree in social work (BSW) or other qualifications required by HUD. Boise State University (BSU) did not offer a BSW while he attended that institution.

In the wake of Reporters Without Borders Annual Report, Freedom of the Press Worldwide 2007, it is time that we examined South Africa's situation in relation to the rest of the world with special reference to the United States. It is noteworthy that in the report's color-bar, South Africa is ranked Grey (Satisfactory Situation); the same ranking as the United States of America." In Africa, there are just nine other countries sharing the Satisfactory Situation: Benin, Botswana, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius and Mozambique. According to RSF, fewer than 30 countries worldwide ranked White (Good Situation), of which Namibia is the only country in Africa.

Racial profiling comprises more than data collection about people or ethnic groups based upon skin pigmentation. It also employs stereotyping based on what the profiler perceives as the behavior and appearance of an individual or cultural group, personal prejudice, and political expedience. Negative profiling contains an element of luck (being in the wrong place at the wrong time) conditioned by the personal perspective of the profiler. Profiling accuracy depends almost entirely on the profiler’s class, status, education, and cultural experience which inherently encourages class-based decision-making.

While it is true that electricity forms the basis of almost all of modern society, the electrician’s occupation, as someone who provides access to electricity, is no more fundamental or of intrinsic value than hundreds of other professions. Up until one hundred years ago, the profession of electrician was unknown, but society seemed to function and the human race survived for five million years without it. To claim that it is inherently more valuable to human existence than any other profession, and is therefore worthy of more reward, is illogical and short-sighted. Because he is so bold as to change a light switch without opening the breaker first, does that entitle him to more compensation than I, whose efforts allow my clients to do hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of business and which provides goods and services to millions? Am I supposed to be impressed that some little old lady was shocked that the electrician is smart enough not to touch the red and black wires together while installing a ceiling fan?

As during the WTO Fiasco, Hooterville once again made a Global Ass of itself. And for the same reasons - an adolescent inability to restrain its baser hillbilly instincts. King County Inferior Court judge Jimmy "The Token Twinkie" Doerty threw the law books in the trash and Mr. Trummel in KingCo Jail's ultra-security section for four months. Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, was one of his neighbors. His crime? He refused to censor the part of his web page that contained the publically available names and addresses of the board running a seniors home.

NUJ London Freelance Branch has consistently supported this case and the International Federation of Journalists will shortly file suit in support of the appeal. The trial judge wrote his findings prior to a hearing. Without due process of law, he fined and incarcerated the journalist on trumped-up claims of violation of a previous order and denied him legal counsel. To prevent similar unethical behavior by judges, writers need to carefully define online journalism otherwise it leaves judges free to make their own interpretation. Instead of using existing law to support press freedom, elected judges continue to create legal precedents using laws that do not apply to suit their own political agendas.

Many have criticized Doerty for his unquestionably biased and uncalled for remarks to and about Trummel from the bench. Judges have the right to publicly demean, defame, criticize and insult with impunity and for no logical reason, yet work overtime to restrict others from disseminating their opinions and observations.

Court order prohibits exercise of passions and beliefs in public. Violation of freedom to assemble as well as a hardship for others denied public association and participation. Invidious court order outrageous and unnecessarily intrusive and petty. Unreasonable hardship on Trummel as well as on his union.

Trummel finally released from King County jail after 111 days and told to delete parts of his web page. The original uncensored version remains cached on many search engines for viewing at leisure. Judge Doerty ordered him to do something then made it physically impossible for him to comply - bad faith. Doerty has a weird sense of humor or out of touch with reality. Freelance journalists write most of what one reads in magazines and newspapers.

Threat to reporters everywhere. International Federation of Journalists called for immediate release of former London now Seattle-based journalist jailed by a superior court judge. Imprisoned for breaching an injunction not to write about a senior citizen residence in his own newsletter and on his web site. Judge argued that freelances have no professional status if they edit and publish their own work. IFJ challenges decision. Freelance reporters entitled to same professional rights as those employed by media outlets.

Judge James A. Doerty strikes at the legitimacy of every freelance not attached to a specific publisher or periodical. National Writers Union deplores any judgment that denies freelance writers the status of journalists simply because they publish their own work. The First Amendment applies to all writers regardless of their employment status. Independent journalists help the public to understand daily events. Any erosion of their rights undermines the free flow of information.

Judge James A. Doerty threatens to jail journalist again for a felony that would allow him to instruct the US Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to initiate deportation proceedings. Journalist publishes public information that judge finds embarrassing to Council House. He complains about $30,000 jail costs to taxpayers after he put him there for no particular reason. Seattle attorneys describe him as “running amok”, “out-of-control”, “unstable”, “vicious”, and “evil”. Doerty claims EU judges have less patience with recalcitrant web spinners and stricter Internet laws. With a conspicuous leer he describes dissidents and online journalists as “cyber-creeps”. Messages to Nmesis from readers.

Judge James A. Doerty assumed the powers and responsibilities reserved for the legislature. Civil rules do not allow arbitrary denying all allegations in a complaint. Especially applies when complainant declares a readiness to verify allegations on oath. Procrastination principle that denies or postpones due process of law. Kill-the-messenger techniques that delay justice. Doerty indulges in the same patterns and practice of unethical behavior that the law proscribes. Messages to Doerty from readers.

A faculty chairperson at RPI and an administrator at UW maliciously destroyed or otherwise denied access to databases. Due to the small capacity of personal computer hard drives and accessories of that era no independent backup data exists. Officials also altered or destroyed official transcripts. Reconstructed databases containing all of the required work for two PhD degrees (all of it published and most of it peer-reviewed) will appear in due course. Meanwhile, scanned images will occupy some pages pending retyping or reformatting text and redrawing all graphics. Many illustrations will need replacing which means reestablishing sources.

Some interesting documents selected from probably thousands produced using cutting-edge technology in more than sixty years of writing, graphic design, and systems invention. In some cases, the author developed the technology to meet the need for specialized digital publications. Several of these document paradigms resulted in typographic encoding which later supported desktop publishing systems.

The design of legible typographic images demands that graphic designers consider the diverse considerations of authors, readers, editors, publishers, and many other technological mediators. They must then choose an appropriate medium and devise an efficient plan. Such a plan, with the inherent perceptual attributes, education, and training of the designer, constitutes the first step toward legible output of multivariate typographic or kinetographic images.

This paper appears as scanned Portable Document Files (PDF). They form part of a body of academic work which resided on mainframe computers at Rensselaer (RPI) and University of Washington (UW) as text and graphics. A faculty chairperson at RPI and an administrator at UW maliciously destroyed or otherwise denied access to those databases. Due to the small capacity of personal computer hard drives and accessories of that era no independent backup data exists. Reconstructed databases containing the paper will appear in due course. Meanwhile, scanned images will occupy some pages pending retyping or reformatting text and redrawing graphics. Many illustrations will need replacing which means reestablishing sources.

The principles of the arts relate closely to those in other disciplines. Discrete vocabularies support both experimental discoveries in science and factual analysis in history. Each art has its own vocabulary and organizing mechanisms. Curriculum in art disciplines comprises the principles and methods of the masters and not experimental discovery or factual analysis.

A dynamic form of Socratic method has evolved. Its dialectical attributes, combined with rhetorical and electronic devices, have become a dynamic, creative tool in communication that uses secondary orality and rebus (graphic) techniques. Creativity results from an inherent impulse to create new patterns by changing extant but inadequate patterns. Critical inquiry identifies these inadequate patterns through elenchus (incessant questioning). This technique allows explication by coining unambiguous, universal definitions. Generally, dialectic that coins definitions creates dissonance: a conflict that results from inconsistency between beliefs and actions. Subsequently, the mind overcomes the inherent anxiety caused by the dissonance, balances beliefs with actions, and creates new patterns. Therefore, elenchus enhances comprehension.

For centuries, writing has not substituted for speech, or merely preserved and transmitted knowledge. Instead, it has served as an active and powerful cultural agency in its own right. However, the quintessence of writing does not only exist as a mode of exchanging and storing information but also forms part of a person’s total intellectual capability. Written language differs greatly from speech because it uses a unique comprehension mode that separates form from meaning. It allows writers and readers to think and describe things in a different way from speech. However, new combined modes of communication require new techniques that may now tend more toward a secondary orality or verbal/visible type of rhetoric. Rhetorical devices provide the persuasive means in oral, verbal, and visible language. Consistently, communications techniques have created a need to reexamine the theories that control these devices and adjust them to changing media genres. Now, language organization methods for electronic media also require reexamination and restructuring. Moreover, they must adapt to new comprehension modes created by differing levels of literacy. Hypertextual rhetoric conforms not only to culturally conditioned hierarchical constructs but also connects laterally. Unfortunately, the increase in electronic writing compares with a decrease in rhetorical skills. Electronic styles can help improve writing skills when they include logical rhetorical aids. Therefore, logically controlled rhetoric in hypertextual modes can improve comprehension in both printed and electronic environments.

Motions for Reconsideration form part of the public record. Judge James A. Doerty ordered the publisher to remove all Council House names and links to them from Contra Cabal web sites. Classic prior restraint. He has also gag ordered attorneys' rebuttal statements that mention Council House declarants by name. The public can read online the court documents that contain the same names that Doerty censored. Ironically, he widely publicized on the Internet his legal decisions that contain names subject to censorship by his own orders.
[Washington Supreme Court - Decision 30 Mar 06]

During the millennial year, Contra Cabal published six articles and distributed them as pamphlets at Council House as permitted by state law and municipal ordinances. Stephen A. Mitchell sent a staff member and a tenant Kapo (thug) to try to blackmail the author into ceasing publication. They threatened court action if the author did not comply. The articles later appeared on a web site based in Holland (2001) and Council House directors had the court send the author to jail without due process of law. Several Council House tenants asked the author to voice their concerns (1999) about rampant abuse and denial of constitutional rights. They voiced those concerns privately in fear of further retaliation for speaking their mind despite laws that allow open debate and freedom of speech mandates published by federal, state, and municipal oversight authorities. As a direct result of publishing the pamphlets, Mitchell and his predecessor Mark T. Mullen started to harass the author who brought an anti-harassment lawsuit against Mitchell. Before publication of any of the tenant concerns the writer brought them to the attention of administrators and directors. The directors then trumped-up charges that he harassed tenants although the tenants opined freely and openly to questions and the reporter did not coerce them.
[Washington Supreme Court - Decision 30 Mar 06]

Doerty allowed Council House to misuse antiharassment laws by accepting their claim that newsgathering constitutes "surveillance" and reporting news defines as "harassment". By that, he effectively denied the constitutional right to gather news to a journalist who has held an international press card for many years. Doerty retroactively ordered censoring or deletion of published articles. He has placed a prior restraint on future articles by demanding signed news source waivers and ordering an unconstitutional surveillance prohibition. He arbitrarily censored web sites. He also held the publisher in contempt of court, fined him $100.00/day, and had him jailed for 111 days - all without due process of law. Moreover, he threatened to issue a bench arrest warrant on a felony for "stalking" and deportation for non-compliance with an ambiguous order based upon perjury.
