In Illinois there is a core group of whistle blowers who for ten years have been trying to expose the corruption in the state, particularly in the office of Illinois Attorney General and in the Cook County Courts. Battered and beaten down, suffering civil death, we all keep going down standing up as patriots defending the United States Constitution. Read about our stories and help us. It takes a movement, numbers, grass roots, and lots of letters and protests. We are few in number. Help us please! Expose this corruption and it will be wiped out.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor in a dissenting opinion in Williams v. Hobbs t 52 U.S. __ 2010, from denial of certiorari, wrote this week, "[t]oday the Court refuses to review the Eighth Circuit’sconclusion that a State may withhold an objection to a federal habeas evidentiary hearing until after the hearing is complete, the constitutional violation established, and habeas relief granted. Because I believe such a rule en-ables, and even invites, States to manipulate federal habeas proceedings to their own strategic advantage at anunacceptable cost to justice, I respectfully dissent."
In this case the Eight Circuit Court reversed the Federal District court overturning a death sentence on a defendant with extreme mitigating social circumstances that would have justified a life sentence instead of a death sentence as proven by the testimony at the habeas evidentiary hearing. However the Eighth Circuit said that the State's objection after the hearing that the defendant had not proven prejudice at trial was enough to deny the evidentiary hearing. The Eighth Circuit also said that even if there was no objection they could ignore the interests of justice as proven by the factual evidence presented at the evidentiary hearing and instead sue sponte determine that the factual basis for prejudice had not been developed. So technicalities have won over the interests of justice and factual evidence which would prevent this man from receiving a lethal injection.
This is further proof that we no longer have a fair justice system, but a totalitarian police state where even life and death are decided by technicalities instead of facts.
This invites further government corruption. We are swimming in corrupt courts already in Illinois. I wish all criminal attorneys and civil rights attorneys around the country would work harder to fight government corruption, especially in Illinois - help us lead the way to cutting out the corruption tax and to preserving constitutional rights!
I recently by Cook County Judge McHale was denied a hearing on a next-friend habeas petition as a pro se counsel (non-attorney)on behalf of Annabelle Melongo, a whistle blower who was hired as the IT director at Save-A-Life foundation (SALF) a now closed business that Emmy award winning investigative reporter Chuck Goudie in Chicago was investigating. Melongo had discovered fraud at SALF in obtaining government money and reported it to the FBI at about the same time Goudie was investigating the business.
I told J. McHale that his refusal to hear a next-friend habeas petition because it was filed by a non-attorney is a violation of IL law 735 ILCS Art X, a violation of the US Constitution Art I section 9, and a violation of U.S. Supreme Court rulings/dicta on habeas in including Boumediene v. Bush 2008 where Justice Souter in a footnote said even parents of Guantanamo Bay prisoners have a right to file habeas petitions.
I told J. McHale that the U.S. S Ct in U.S. v. Wills 1980 in FN 19 quoted Chief Justice Marshall that a judge who knowingly violated law, US S Ct, or the constitution commits treason.
J McHale then summarily sentenced meto consecutive 120 days + 180 days + 180 days, also denying statutory good time jail credits, for criminal contempt, because I "said he committed treason and interrupted him". He called asking to make a record an "interruption". He called quoting case law and defending myself an "interruption". He called defending myself using the words of a US S Ct Chief Justice (treason) contempt. I made motions because J. McHale violated numerous laws and numerous US Supreme Court holdings in this wrongful and unjust conviction that amounts to at least a dozen counts of violation of his oath of office and therefore treason by J McHale, and McHale folded a little and made two of the sentences concurrent, plus admitted he had no jurisdiction to deny day for day good time statutory jail credits, reducing the time to serve from 14 mo of 16 mo sentence to 6 mo and was released in November 6,2010 after this illegal incarceration of 6 months.
All of you should be informed that this is a totally unconstitutional conviction violating at least 4 US Supreme Court decisions, the constitution, and multiple IL statutes. J. McHale ordered the clerk to make this three separate contempt cases, not three counts in one case. This is how grotesquely unjust, malicious, and treasonous the Cook County courts are against whistle blowers.
I am posting the transcripts and motions on line at my blog Cook County Judges where I expose criminal conduct of judges and have links to other posts documenting in great detail with scanned in documentary evidence of corruption of the Cook County Circuit Court Clerk and Illinois Attorney General. I have a civil rights suit against IL AG and judges who illegally prosecuted me without ANY jurisdiction thus losing their absolute immunity before Judge Lefkkow in Federal District Court in Chicago. Madigan fraudulent prosecutes whistle blowers using money for the IL Medicaid Fraud Control Unit obtained fraudulently from the US DHHS to shut them up.
The IL MFCU admits in an application for recertification to US DHHS that the IL AG has no legal authority to prosecute Medicaid Fraud in IL, and refers all cases to the US Atty, but the IL AG solely, without the US Atty or local States Atty prosecuted me (jury said not guilty after 5 yrs), Dr. Maisha Hamilton,and Naomi Jennings (both wrongfully found guilty) and all of us whistle blowers about government corruption. We have all suffered a civil death and mental health care to Medicaid recipients in the southern Chicago area has been greatly reduced - increasing crime and family disruptions and therefore costing the government more in welfare and justice costs!
IL AG Madigan and her accomplices launder bribery money in IL through their political fund ("Friends of Madigan") - a time honored method of corruption in IL where political funds can be transferred to other political funds to ensure re-election. Funds are raised by forcing public employees to sell tickets to fundraisers, etc. See my posts about IL corruption on my "Illinois corruption" blog and my personal "Dr. Linda Shelton" blog.
All contracts in Illinois and Cook County have required in the past a 10% donation ("bribe") to one of these political funds. That is why a large jail population is needed so that there is a large army of patronage jail officers, patronage cook county court clerk employees, and excess employees in all departments (4 hr lunches, hire two people for each job, fire efficient productive knowledgeable workers, keep workers ignorant - the Chicago Way!) Note this is similar to what happened in the prosecutions of former IL Governors Ryan and Blagojevic.
I need funds and pro bono civil rights attorneys from out of state desperately. If you are willing to help fight corruption in IL call attorey J. Nicolas Albukerk at 773 847-2600 and offer to help or contact me at picepil@aol.com.
Goudie found out that SALF director Carol Spizzirri had conned prominent politicians and the IL AG to direct millions of dollars to her corporation. Her federal applications said she was a nurse, but she was a candy striper. She fraudulently obtained money and can't account for what she did for it.
Melongo discovered this fraud, was fired by Spizzirri, reported it to the FBI and then was arrested by local police upon a complaint by Spizzirri for remotely accessing the SALF computers and "permanently erasing the financial records". Melongo had an account with SBC and an SBC IR address for her computer. Ms Monge, the IL AG's investigator said that the SALF computer was accessed by a persons with an AT&T IR address. Spizzirri's two separate computer consultants say that no data was ever lost, just that the computers had glitches. So there was no probable cause.
Melongo is still in jail 8 mo later awaiting trial on computer tampering. The habeas petition has yet to be heard. She desperately needs funds to pay her attorney J.Nicolas Albukerk 773 847-2600 and expert computer consultants. Albukerk could use pro bono help from a deep pocket large law firm. Albukerk should be given an award for trying to assist those hurt by judicial corruption and treason with great risk to his career (I predict that the cabal of corruption will eventually go after him to shut me up - they've already attacked my family and many friends and fellow whistle blowers). Won't you consider helping Albukerk help whistle blowers including Melongo and I?
Secr. of Education Arnie Duncan admitted to Goudie that the Chicago Public Schools gave her $50,000 per year for several years to train children in CPR and never actually trained even one child.
The FBI is fully aware of the above and has done NOTHING!
Melongo discovered this fraud and reported it to FBI Special Agent Depooter.
If any of you have connections with the justice department in Washington or the FBI please help by informing them of the above. Melongo and I and other whistle blowers in IL are in desperate need of help and would be eternally grateful.
