ARDC investigation

On Jan­u­ary 11, 2012 Caseyville, Illi­nois Munic­i­pal Attor­ney Duane C. Clarke made false state­ments to the Vil­lage Board of Trustees and other cit­i­zens present, con­cern­ing my legit­i­mate request for pub­lic doc­u­ments. In the enclosed recorded meet­ing, Mr. Clarke told the Vil­lage Board that I was a recur­rent requester because I had made 21 requests for pub­lic doc­u­ments in a 21 day period. This state­ment is false. Read on… →

When it comes to select­ing a Demo­c­ra­tic can­di­date from this year’s polit­i­cal menu, noth­ing speaks more to flac­cid com­pe­tency than the St. Clair County Demo­c­ra­tic Party. I find all gov­ern­ment to be a man­i­fes­ta­tion of a soci­etal men­tal dis­or­der, but the boots-on-the-ground for this polit­i­cal pro­fun­dity are those served upit gets bet­ter. Read on… →

My one-time  judge, jury, and exe­cu­tioner, Zina Cruse, is run­ning for St. Clair County Cir­cuit Judge.

Judge Brian Babka Dodges the Issue of Issuing Arrest Warrants Against Police. Case 10-MR-212 is Dismissed.….for now.…

On June 25, 2011, I received an Order from Judge Babka which was entered on June 20, 2011, in response to my Mem­o­ran­dum and essen­tially dis­miss­ing the case. Foot­note 7 In his Order, Babka does not address any of the issues pre­sented aside from the hold­ing in Lindquist as being a case from 1937, which he said was still good law, and attempt­ing to dis­tin­guish that hold­ing with one from Peo­ple Ex Rel. Daley v. Moran, 94Ill. 2d 41, 445N.E. 2d, 67, Ill. Dec 790. Foot­note 8 I con­tend that the Daley case is not on point for pur­poses of my argu­ment. I do aver, in my Mem­o­ran­dum, that the State’s Attor­ney has sole dis­cre­tion in whether to pros­e­cute, but pros­e­cu­tion and arrest are two dif­fer­ent mat­ters. Read on… →

It is an unfor­tu­nate fact that the pub­lic views the mag­is­trate as the same as, or as a near blood rel­a­tive to, the old jus­tice of the peace and police mag­is­trate of the pre 1964 era. We have been urged by the rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the Illi­nois Cir­cuit Court Mag­is­trates Asso­ci­a­tion (does not include Cook County Mag­is­trates) to elim­i­nate the title of mag­is­trate. The urg­ing was in fact a plea to the effect that “what­ever else you do or do not do, elim­i­nate the title of mag­is­trate”. Read on… →

Defective Verified Complaint

This arti­cle will deal with Con­sti­tu­tional issues as well as statu­tory require­ments and appel­late court opin­ions on the sub­ject. I think you will find that if you have been charged with a traf­fic or mis­de­meanor offense, maybe even a felony, you have not been law­fully charged with an offense and have vol­un­tar­ily appeared to answer for non-existent charges.

Tell me Ms. Mat­ti­son, what does it mean to be “mostly free”? Spo­ken like a true slave. You take your lesser free­doms and have a nice day. Com­par­ing the tyranny of this gov­ern­ment, loosely speak­ing, with other forms of tyranny does not make this gov­ern­ment just. I have nat­ural, unalien­able rights that are beyond the scope and author­ity of gov­ern­ment. You appar­ently pre­fer men to define your rights. Read on… →

An open letter to Brendan Kelly, State’s Attorney

Since a prin­ci­pal func­tion of police is the safe­guard­ing of demo­c­ra­tic processes, if police fail to con­form their con­duct to the require­ments of law, they sub­vert the demo­c­ra­tic process and frus­trate the achieve­ment of a prin­ci­pal police func­tion. It is for this rea­son that high pri­or­ity must be given for ensur­ing that the police are made fully account­able to their police admin­is­tra­tor and to the pub­lic for their actions. Read on… →

The truth, as I have come to know it, is that the peo­ple, through sloth, indif­fer­ence, arro­gance, greed, igno­rance, and fear have allowed them­selves to be sub­dued by the pathetic joke of “jus­tice” and gov­er­nance they so read­ily sup­port. I sup­port no such sys­tem, and in return, the “State” has spilled my blood and thereby fired the first shot in a war where their dirty secrets and crim­i­nal acts will be exposed; as if any­one cares.

In the beginning.…. A preface to this subject

I’ve been writ­ing and speak­ing about the abuses and fail­ings of gov­ern­ment for some time. Some call me an anti-government zealot. That is like call­ing some­one an anti-Santa Claus zealot. Nei­ther one really exists. Gov­ern­ment is just a con­ve­nient def­i­n­i­tion for an orga­nized crim­i­nal enter­prise used to soothe the con­sciences of its sup­port­ers when sub­du­ing oth­ers with whom it dis­agrees or from whom it demands wealth for its own per­pet­u­a­tion. It may have began as a “good idea”, but there are many good ideas which do not demand alle­giance and obe­di­ence to, what is ulti­mately, a vio­lent expres­sion of power by force. There are places in this world were there is no artic­u­la­ble gov­ern­ing body aside from soci­ety itself. Gov­ern­ment does not rise up from nature. Read on… →

Get­ting the new year off on the right foot, I am embark­ing on a mis­sion to address issues which remain from my arrest and beat­ing by Fairview Heights Police on Feb. 17, 2009 and the crim­i­nal actions of Joshua Ale­mond and Aaron Nyman. Along with those crim­i­nal acts, the refusal of gov­ern­ment “offi­cials” to apply the law against these men for their crim­i­nal deeds. Tak­ing this premise fur­ther, the sys­tem of abuse, mis­fea­sance, and malfea­sance by “offi­cials” in one of the most cor­rupt coun­ties in Illi­nois, St. Clair County. Read on… →
