It looks like I can stay licensed as an attorney through my appeal so I will be directly helping Jim Traficant with his appeal. Many of you have volunteered to assist and I will be taking you up on that offer, and look forward to working with many of you who have taught me many new ideas. I greatly appreciate it.
The purpose of this email is to update everyone on what happened last night in the expulsion of Traficant, to give Traficant's position, to update you on what is happening around America that is not being reported by the biased media, and to give ideas and ask for suggestions on what we can do about it (your legal, nonviolent ideas are welcome).
First, we all need to remind others that this Traficant issue is not about political views, and not even about guilt or innocence. How can anyone decide guilt or innocence if the courts are so unfair, politically and financially motivated, or just plain corrupt, that the truth cannot be determined? That is the issue, friends, and that is why we rally around this public figure. In addition, we have a public figure who was elected by the people of his district, who was speaking out against the IRS, the Department of Justice (hello), against the Ruby Ridge and Waco government debacles (Reno), etc., who now appears to be targeted for total destruction and is to be silenced in spite of documented corruption in the courts (there have been admissions).
I spoke to Jim's office yesterday and then again early this morning. Let me summarize what happened and also tell you what the biased media is not reporting. First, before the vote for expulsion occurred, there was a motion to stay all proceedings until September, in order to look into the alleged corruption by the judge and prosecutor in his case. TRAFICANT WON the oral motion! However, Hefly put the pressure on Congress by asking for an electronic count, and amazingly, not one Congressman was willing to record a vote for Traficant. Does this tell anyone else anything? Isn't it apparent that someone(s) or something(s) has pressured Congress to vote against Traficant? By time the expulsion vote came to the floor, every Congressman in the room knew that no matter what they did orally, there would be the same intimidative electronic recording of their vote. The best Traficant's hard-core supporters could do was to write their name as a no-vote. And then of course you have Condit who had his own reasons for supporting Traficant, which the media is jumping all over to further discredit Traficant. Who or what is intimidating Congress, friends? Who or what is making our leaders total wimps on national TV, afraid of their own shadows? Doesn't this tell us something very important about who/what is really in control of this nation--and even more-- who is not (the people)?
Secondly, some have asked me why Traficant did not take more of his 45 minutes to discuss the corruption with the judge and questionable adverse witnesses who had financial interests with the Judge and the Judge's husband. Jim was told before the hearing that the Congress DID NOT CARE what type of trial he had. His witnesses were excluded both from trial and from the Ethics Hearings. So Traficant had to concentrate on the Congress's use of hearsay transcripts when Traficant was willing to produce live witnesses stating that they were threatened by the prosecutor and the IRS to lie against Traficant. CONGRESS DID NOT CARE WHAT KIND OF TRIAL HE HAD? Isn't it Congress's job to oversee the judges? But they did not care?
And of course there are the issues of the jury. Not only was there a Congressional rush to pass a bill disallowing TRAFICANT to have jurors from his own district, but jurors are now coming forward who were not even in his district, with stories which are bringing to light that the fix was on. Exposed on JAIL's Hotseat for Judges radio show last night, was the story of one juror who with only one week left in a 2-3 month trial, had a death in the family. He received special permission from the judge to attend the funeral. He was assigned a U.S. Marshall to make sure he would get back to the hearing fast. As indicated, the Marshall raced the juror back to the hearing. The juror, however, found out upon his arrival, that he was replaced and dismissed by the prosecutor. This was without Jim's agreement. Since his dismissal, it has been learned that this juror was very pro-Traficant. Not only is this unlawful, but how did the court and prosecutor know that this juror would damage their push to injustice against Traficant? Were there ears in the jury room? Were some of the jurors on the take and sent a message to the prosecutor and Judge informing them of this man's pro-Traficant position? What exactly happened here? This juror has agreed to help Traficant in any way he can because he knows that something is very wrong. There are other jury stories that I have put out before you earlier that I will not repeat here, which further stated that something was not right and that even these jurors who are not trained as many of you, were seeing it.
Ok, so what do we do? What do we do when Congress is not listening to the people? What do we do when the majority of Congress was willing to stay the proceedings until they were intimidated into recording an electronic vote, and then ran for cover, selling out Traficant on national TV? What do we do when the Courts are being bombarded with 372 complaints and in spite of it, Judge Wells, who has a financial interest in this matter (among other conflicts) just dismissed some of Traficant's motions in spite of her exposed conflicts of interest? What do we do when Elsebeth Baumgartner, suspended Ohio attorney who was trying to get the government to investigate major corruption in Ohio, is now going through a criminal proceeding today and tomorrow, which could put her in jail for 6 months (which is not even lawful)? I hope many have shown up for her hearing today and will show up tomorrow in Port Clinton, Ohio Municipal Court. She has spoken for us and we need to be there for her too. I am open to suggestions friends, as long as they are nonviolent and legal. Let's put our heads together, friends. Here are some things that we must do:
1) Is there any doubt that we need JAIL to be passed friends? We have to get the people back over this rogue leadership. We have no more time to talk about it. We must be led to act now.
2) If you believe that there has been judicial and prosecutorial corruption, then continue to file complaints. You can get directions and forms, and see samples, including 4 new ones on: http://www.mikebrownsolutions.com/traficant/drywells.htm as well as some other great sites.
3) There is an election coming up and we need to not just feel good about putting in our vote, but we need to get others who usually do not vote, registered and to the ballot box (drive them there), and get them to vote against ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS who acted so cowardly as they did yesterday, to vote out an elected official without first investigating documented claims of corruption. In particular, we need to vote out the Congressmen in the following states if they are up for a vote: Missouri, California, Ohio, Colorado, as they showed extra venom in their speeches and their reliance on obvious tainted court proceedings. Additionally, at least one (Jones from Ohio), whose own character and honesty has been brought into question in Ohio, told Congress to ignore all the evidence and expel Traficant anyway--WOW!
4) We need to rally around Ohio and help Dan Charles (National Director) and John Francis (Ohio Director), of the American First Party in any way we can, to help Traficant get re-elected. Web site for the American First Party is: http://www.americafirstparty.org . Remember that this is not about being loyal to one party or another, it is about taking back America and we need to put up a great effort to show Congress and the Courts that they cannot continue to do this without repercussions from the people. What better message than a very strong showing for Traficant. Just because we are not all Ohioians we can still help.
5) We need to fight against any electronic voting. The ballots are corrupt enough. With electronics, whoever controls the hard drive controls the election. This election is going to be very big and those opposing Traficant will do anything to stop him from being reelected.
6) We need to continue to rally together. We need to be activists in action and not just in words. We have not lost until we decide we have lost. This is not over unless we decide it is over. If we do that, then all we have left is to lick our own wounds and admit defeat. No way, friends! No way!
Important article. Thanks for posting this.
James Traficant, meet James Forrestal. And this is Jim McDougal. The fellow over there is Jack Ruby.
The tax evasion charges were dropped from the original indictment. There is another explosive story behind that (that you will never, ever see reported in the mainstream media).
Traficant was in possession of some questions about the income tax that he submitted to the Congressional Research Service. Once the government got wind of the content of those questions they realized that, had the CRS gone ahead and responded to them, it would have blown the lid off the income tax hoax that Traficant's been railing about for years.
The feds were in a jam because the CRS cannot ignore a request coming from a member of Congress. So they dropped the evasion charges to "keep the cat in the bag" and the American people perpetually in the dark.
Have you stopped beating your husband?
Wow.
Bean me up.
Got tinfoil?
Middle Man howled at the moon thusly:

Given that, would you like to change your story? ;>)
And I do not mean just at the Federal level, on big things. They reach down right into the payrolls and employment of surprisingly little and mid-level people, and destroy those whom they think are politically unreliable or who know too much.
I read an account some time ago of someone who was a prisoner at the same time as McDougal and reported of prisoners seeing a helicopter land, of persons who came to see McDougal and when they left McDougal was dead.
Congressman Traficant is not the first. Check out Google Advanced Search for keywords: Congressman George Hansen and "Diesel therapy
George Hansen is a former twelve-term Republican congressman from Idaho who knows. Here is an excerpt from WINDS - U.S. Gets Blood on its Beak:
"... The description of Congressman Hansen's ordeal and that of Susan McDougal as they were "ground under the heel of a ruthless justice system run amok", most clearly depicts the methods of those charting the course of the New World Order. They will brook no departure from their purposes nor obstruction to them. They are startlingly reminiscent of the biblical description from the pen of the prophet Daniel when he described such a "ruthless" power:From another site: http://www.sierratimes.com/archive/ray/nuggets/nuggets101700.htm [dead link]After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it. Daniel 7:7" WINDS - U.S. Gets Blood on its Beak:
"Political prisoners and those who are considered trouble makers are given what prisoners call "diesel therapy". "Diesel therapy" consists of being put on diesel buses or airplanes and being transported from prison to prison for weeks and months at a time. On the surface it sounds benign. What could be the problem with making a prisoner ride in a bus for hours at a time?Congressman Hansen was one of the first members of Congress to point a finger at the IRS. In the late 70s he wrote a book called "To Harass Our People". He was the first to get a full scale investigation into the crimes of the IRS against the American people. His outrage over what he discovered caused him to write and help pass the "Taxpayers Bill of Rights." Without George Hansen, the IRS would be the American equal to the Gestapo by now.
Congressman Hansen was set up by the federal gov't. for taking on the New World Order, sent to prison and tortured. The conviction was later vacated, but the judge who heard the case took his time getting Hansen released - FIVE WHOLE MONTHS. It was during this period of incarceration that Hansen was treated worse than raw meat." Source
The way you spell his name reminds me that the stock market is crashing and "traffic" can't! Now we see why all of those trains, and buses were derailing and crashing and going over cliffs. We are seeing the Black Horse of Rev. 6 ride. Traffic (the commercial exchange of goods/trade) can't!

Tax evasion charges were in the original indictment of the Traficant trial that just ended. Those charges were dropped. So he was tried in the early 80's as well, so what? Did you forget your medication?
He was hoping for some jury nullification this time, but the change of venue scotched that.
