Letter to Mary Neal's Terrorists

(30 links, 2 poems, 9 photographs, 3 embedded videos, 80+ paragraphs including four more cases of abuses and murders of mental patients by police and prison guards in Memphis. Stalkers try to hide the embedded video at this link:  http://youtu.be/ROkthmx1Dlc   )

Disallowed Tweets 3-13-11 - @Twitter U say "Sorry! We did something wrong. Send tweet to @etruth @worldwideprayer in a minute” A min, is up already-Pls help net freedom

@etruth @worldwideprayer U mean #Christian persecution like this? VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znJS-6qw__8

Part of the reason I am terrorized is because I initiated a nonviolent protest everyone can engage in without leaving home: The BOYCOTT4JUSTICE initiative. When America gets fed up enough to stand up, Boycott 4 Justice! See http://youtu.be/ROkthmx1Dlc  - REFUSE TO BE THEIR SLAVES. REFUSE TO BE QUIET ABOUT ABUSE. SILENCE IS AGREEMENT. NOTHING SPEAKS LOUDER THAN SILENT CASH REGISTERS. Timid, elderly and handicapped people need a protest, also. There is no law against not shopping. Everyone can support a shoppring moratorium without leaving home. Participate in a  24-hour No Shopping Day once each month no matter what you protest. Let us all boycott shopping on the 9th day of each month. Marching, holding rallies and signing petitions is not enough to promote civil and human rights. Those measures are important, but they give decision makers zero financial incentive to change. During the civil rights era and when unions were born, Americans understood that justice is largely a business decision. Make injustice unprofitable. Boycott 4 Justice. Say 'no' to slavery.
Please see the letter to my terrorists and March 2012 update at the end of this post.  Stalking online and in person is done to  interfere with my advocacy for justice.  Criminals want to prevent my publishing information proving the United States Government believes minorities as well as  handicapped and poor people of all races have no right to life that is worthy of protection.  Until 2003, I believed that America had "overcome" its bigotry to a much greater degree than it has.  Then  my mentally and physically handicapped brother was secretly arrested and murdered. The Government aligned itself with Larry's murderers and helped cover up his death instead of rendering justice.  In fact, the United States Justice Department  allowed Memphis Shelby County Jail to submit known perjury during the jail's 2006 release hearings in federal court.  The feds accepted testimony and records from the jail that deliberately omitted Larry's arrest and murder so  that the jail could escape accountability.  The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm (under new management that ousted most of Cochran's attorneys after his death) was then sent to contract with and defraud my family by pretending to represent us in a wrongful death civil action. The firm's real job was stall during the statute of limitations to prevent us from getting an attorney who really would sue the jail. 

Tue. Nov. 22, 2010 - Cyberdogs prevented my tweet to @reoassetsnow, so I posted it below.  Try to follow me at Twitter, where I am Koffietime, and I will try to follow you back - http://twitter.com/koffietime
@reoassetsnow Thx 4 following. I tried 2 follow U back, but was prevented. I'm censored 2 hide crimes against humanity in the USA.

The world was alarmed about inmate torture and deaths in offshore War on Terror camps, but most Americans may be unaware that people in correctional facilities within our boarders are also abused and some die.  The Department of Justice is just as committed to preventing disclosure and justice for abuse and wrongful deaths of Americans who perish inside the nation's jails and prisons as the federal agency is regarding  horrors  at Gitmo and Guantanamo.  I am censored, stalked, and terrorized because I write about my handicapped brother's murder under secret arrest in Memphis Shelby County Jail and other crimes against humanity in a country where secrecy about inmate abuse is treated as law.  ABC News' Jason Ryan reports:  No Charges in CIA Videotape Destruction Inquiry

November 09, 2010 4:11 PM - The Justice Department disclosed on Tuesday that no one will be charged in the long ongoing investigation into the destruction of 92 CIA videotapes that showed enhanced interrogation techniques being used on terrorism detainees.  Federal prosecutor John Durham had been investigating the destruction of the CIA tapes, which are believed to have shown sessions that included waterboarding and other harsh tactics being used on detainees.

DECISION: GANGSTALK PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT MISSING OR MURDERED RELATIVES.



I discovered that tragedies such as Larry's murder and my family's deprivation of legal remedy are usual circumstances for America's minority families and poor whites. Who killed Mitrice Richardson, a beautiful, young, bipolar black woman, a recent college graduate, who went missing after being arrested in California and whose bones were found a year later? Who killed Timothy "Bulldog" Allen, a brain damaged man who was last seen with police officers in St. Joseph, Michigan? How was Larry killed, and why is that information treated like a national secret? Are medical experiments happening with black mental patients? Was he killed in a restraint chair like Sean LeVert? Did Larry expire on a restraint table, dehydrated like Tim Souders, the subject of a 60-Minutes documentary? Are mental patients being used for torture training for enhanced interrogation experts? Why are mental patients going missing in or right after police custody, and why is my family deprived of information about Larry's fatal, secret arrest for eight years and counting?

Sick and poor citizens are regularly sent to prison with and without proof of crimes, and some are executed - with or without death sentences.  Ordinarily, authorities  at least lie to families after their loved ones are murdered by prison guards or police officers, but as a black family, they did not even bother to lie.  The DOJ just said, "We are not telling you jack.  Go sit yourselves down!"   You can see the Freedom of Information Act request with the questions our Department of Injustice refuses to answer about Larry's murder online.  Just Google "Mary Neal USDOJ."  We also learned about other cases where The Cochran Firm was used to defraud disenfranchised people who sought justice in civil courts, particularly after police violence.  It is sinful to know people are being abused, killed, and defrauded and not warn them.  Therefore, it is not only my right to free speech cyberstalkers violate, but religious freedom. Officials and lawyers involved show no remorse for secretly arresting and murdering Larry, or for defrauding, censoring, and intimidating  his family members to cover up his death.   Instead of becoming just when caught, responsible parties ordered me to stop talking and writing about such abuses of power.  Former Wallacy, Texas prosecutor Juan Guerra said he also suffered persecution for bringing indictments against high officials in 2008  regarding inmate abuse in county jails (link:  http://www.mahalo.com/juan-angel-guerra ). Apparently, there is some agreement among DOJ officials not to investigate abuses and murders of inmates inside America or in offshore prison camps. I did not know that, of course. Until all of this happened to my family,  I thought the feds were the good guys. (My political experience was limited to civics classes, watching movies, and voting for democrats on the lists some organizations mail.  Now I try to help others to please wake up). 

My brother was secretly arrested and murdered during the Bush Administration.  The same DOJ that ordered prisoner torture in the War on Terror camps decided to ignore Larry's murder and allow Memphis Shelby County Jail to enter fraudulent records and testimony in the Jail's release hearings in 2006.  The jail was allowed to simply omit reporting the death it could not explain except by admitting to the secret arrest and murder of a harmless, handicapped black man.  We were cautiously optimistic when the new administration arrived in Washington in 2009.  I had hoped that Eric Holder, as a black U.S. Attorney General, might uphold his responsibility to investigate Larry's lynching, end my family's persecution for exposing the crime and pursuing justice, and that Holder would terminate the government using a COINTELPRO law firm to defraud other minorities.  But nothing changed.

A white friend of mine was appalled at my brother's lynching and wondered why my family could be terrorized for asking for records and accountability about his secret arrest and murder, especially since we live in Atlanta, birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and home to notable people and organizations that fought for equal rights during the civil rights movement.  She said she was writing and calling Amnesty International and the NAACP (organizations she supports), Operation Push, the SCLC, and others about Larry's death and crimes against his family to keep his murder covered up.  I did not tell her she was wasting her time.  I wanted her to see for herself that civil and human rights organizations have either sold out or they recognize the futility of standing for justice in the New America, particularly regarding crimes by the injustice system itself.  They know that people are persecuted for attempting to free the wrongly convicted, decriminalize mental illness, or eliminate capital punishment in this prison nation where 2.3 million Americans are behind bars and millions more are on standby as parolees and probationers.  Northwestern journalism students suffered persecution by the District Attorney's office in November 2009 for working on behalf of wrongly convicted persons, as reported in the SunTimes.com article at the link below:  
Prosecutors seek Northwestern journalism students’ grades

People who protest America incarcerating more people than any nation in world history, including 1.25 million of our most vulnerable citizens who are mentally ill like my brother Larry was, are targeted for gangstalking, censorship, and harassment by authorities, but people who facilitate or ignore human rights abuses in the USA are rewarded.  Like slaves who were forced to gather and sing happy songs for visitors on Southern plantations a century ago, my family is intended to ignore Larry's secret arrest and murder while our children put their hands over their little hearts and say the Pledge in school every morning, proclaiming this to be a land of "liberty and justice for ALL."  Like German citizens who pretended not to smell burning flesh as bands played lovely classical music to cover the screams, terrorists insist that I ignore cries from other families whose loved ones are wrongly imprisoned for mental illness and slave catchers who roam minority neighborhoods arresting nonviolent young men to become prison laborers.

Americans are regularly abused and murdered behind bars and during arrest attempts, especially the mentally ill.  Memphis Shelby County law officers and jail guards did such inexcusable cruelty that in 2000, Shelby County Jail was sued by the USA and placed under Department of Justice overview.  Unfortunately, the Department of Justice seems to enjoy prisoner abuse.  Larry is not the only physically, mentally disabled man to be murdered in Shelby County, and other people who attempt to expose the violence are persecuted like I am.

Former Shelby County, Tennessee Deputy Jailer Sergeant Earley Story reports that he was fired and victimized by malicious prosecution because he refused to go along with an intended coverup regarding the Shelby County Jail death of a mentally ill inmate in 1995 - Mr. Gregory.  When Story came on duty, he found Gregory dying of injuries in his cell.  Gregory told Story that he had been severely beaten by another mentally ill inmate on a cell block where all the prisoners were in isolation cells and no two were supposed to be outside their cells at the same time.  Story believes that Gregory and his murderer were deliberately allowed into the hall together so that guards could enjoy watching a human dogfightAfterward, the dying inmate was tossed into his cell without any medical attention.  Story has no way of knowing how many hours Gregory lay bleeding to death before Story arrived and called for medical help, but it was too late to save Gregory.  Story's thorough report about Gregory's attack and injuries, including photos, prevented the jail from going forward with a lie about Gregory falling in the shower.  One might wonder how officials expected Gregory's injuries to pass as a simple slip-and-fall, but Shelby County had a very special medical examiner during that time, Dr. O.C. Smith.  Read about him in this article:  DID TENNESSEE EXECUTE AN INNOCENT MAN - PHILIP WORKMAN? http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/did-tennessee-execute-innocent-man.html   Story was later prosecuted on marijuana charges and fired.  Story and his family suffered embarrassment when the story about his arrest for drugs was aired on television news.  The charges against Story were false and were later dismissed in court by a judge who demanded that Story be reinstated on his job, but he never was.  Story thinks it is unfair that his charges were dismissed off camera in night court, unlike the media bonanza that announced Story's prosecution to his neighbors and co-workers.

Story's quest to get his job back led him to seek legal counsel at The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm.  However, The Cochran Firm was unable to represent Story in a lawsuit against Shelby County.  Story was told that it would be a conflict of interest, because Julian Bolton, Esq., who was managing partner of the Memphis office of The Cochran Firm, was also a Shelby County Commissioner, and the Commission owns and operates the jail Story planned to sue.  That happened during Johnnie Cochran's lifetime and before he entered partnership with an Alabama firm that now uses his name to defraud minorities.  When Larry was murdered in Shelby County Jail in 2003, The Cochran Firm hurriedly contracted to represent his family in a wrongful death lawsuit against Shelby County Jail.  The COINTELPRO law firm is not bound by Rules of Professional Conduct that govern other lawyers; therefore, the Neals were not told about the firm's blatant conflict of interest. Bolton was still managing partner of the Memphis Cochran Firm office and still a Shelby County Commissioner, but that information was hidden from the firm's clients. The object was to have the Neals rely on The Cochran Firm as legal agents who did nothing while Tennessee's statute of limitations passed but send the Neals false status updates (through U.S. Mail fraud) in order to prevent us from actually suing Shelby County Jail.

More murders and abuses that occurred after Larry's death was covered up by the DOJ, Shelby County Jail, and The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm include the following three cases.  Unfortunately, many mentally ill people may have no one to search for them when they go "missing" or file suit after their abuses or murders.  Therefore, one cannot assess how many mentally ill patients have actually been abused or killed in Shelby County.

THREE FEDERAL LAWSUITS RELATING TO ABUSED/MURDERED MENTALLY ILL IN SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE  -- Posted on the web at by Friends of Braxton Moore

Braxton Korvacea Moore, by his next friend and mother, Janie Moore, and Janie Moore, v. County of Shelby, et al. Filed 12/5/2006. -- This case involves the treatment, or lack thereof, of Braxton Moore, a 13-year-old mentally ill retarded boy, while he was housed at the Juvenile Court Detention Facility, and at the Shelby County Jail. The lawsuit claims Braxton was not properly treated, cared for, and supervised while he was incarcerated. The lawsuit also claims that Braxton did not receive his proper medications while he was incarcerated. [This sick boy who was barely a teenager was jailed as an adult in a dangerous correctional facility that was nicknamed "the jail from hell."  One can imagine what he endured.]

Jannie J. Williams, surviving mother of Kelvin A. Williams, Deceased v. City of Memphis, et al. Filed 12/5/2006. -- This case involves the death of a mentally ill adult while in custody. The lawsuit claims, in essence, that Kelvin Williams was assaulted by police officer(s) before after being taken into custody.  The man's abuse continued while in the back of an ambulance. Williams subsequently died of his injuries. [Onlookers saw the police brutality and an ambulance was called.  But police officers got into the back of the ambulance with Williams and continued beating him to death.]

Willie Hester, Jr., by his next friend and mother Joyce D. Hester, and Joyce D. Hester v. City of Memphis, et al. Filed 7/3/2006. -- This case involves the shooting of a mentally ill adult by Memphis police. Hester was shot 21 times, some of the bullets entering his body from the bottom of his feet, and some from his buttocks. The lawsuit also alleges that Hester was not properly treated and medicated while at the Shelby County jail; Hester was transferred to the jail after three months in ICU. [It is a miracle Hester lived.  One can picture the mentally ill man balled into the fetal position on the ground while several officers unloaded their pistols into him, hitting his buttocks, feet, and back often, but his head was protected with his arms.]
 
Neither of the three cases above went to trialThat seems to be a common outcome regarding injustices in America for disenfranchised persons.  The plaintiffs were all represented by the same attorney who happened to have a heart attack after filing suit, and the cases stalled - indefinitely.  Another noteworthy lawsuit against Shelby County Jail that never went to court was planned by Duanna Johnson, a black transgender Memphis resident who was brutalized  in February 2008 by two police officers when she refused to respond to "Hey, he/she, come here."   A video that was aired worldwide showed one Memphis policeman holding Johnson down while another put on rubber gloves and brass knuckles, beat her severely in the jail's intake area, then sprayed her with gas.  Johnson planned to file a $1.3million law suit for the brutality she endured, but she was mysteriously EXECUTED by unknown assassins as the end of her statute of limitations approached.  Johnson's plans for a civil action against Shelby County Jail terminated when she was.  Incidentally, former Cochran Firm attorney and Shelby County Commissioner Julian Bolton worked in the law office with Johnson's lawyers who did not her lawsuit.


In June 2010, I went downtown Atlanta and held signs in front of the court-declared "nonexistent" office of The Johnnie Cochran Firm - pronounced nonexistent by Georgia Superior Court in 2006 to allow The Ccohran Firm to escape facing a jury trial for it fraud against the Neals to protect Shelby County Jail from our lawsuit.  Two black Atlanta police officers were dispatched to threaten me with arrest if I continued to tell the public about Larry's murder, my family's persecution, and ask that the justice quest regarding 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston's murder by police be treated fairly in court.  A month ago, I wrote Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed about the violations against my freedom of speech and press.  No one should be threatened with jail for revealing crimes and asking for help from the public.  Mayor Reed has yet to respond to my letter about the abuse of power that occurred in the district that is represented by Congressman John Lewis, a historic civil rights leader.  While my family's plight is ignored and many human and civil rights leaders remain silent about the proliferation of the prison industrial complex, Mayor Reed had an audience with the Queen of England last week, and Congressman Lewis was named one of 15 people to receive the President's Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.  Circumstances and people change in four decades.  Congressman Lewis never responded to any of my attempts to communicate with him about Larry's lynching and the persecution (like burning crosses) my family faces for asking for justice.  President Obama also announced plans to award the same honor next year to ex-President George H.W. Bush. Fitting.

While many American industries are in decline, the prison industrial complex experiences tremendous growth, helped in large part by a worsening economy.  There are people and organizations one might expect to protest such heinous crimes as my brother's secret arrest and murder in a Deep South jail and the fact that I was threatened with arrest for telling people about Larry's murder and wrongs against other people.  I wondered at their acquiescence to these and other crimes against humanity, such as acute mental patients living as criminals in conditions that would not be tolerated for animals. 

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. . . Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all. ~Elie Wiesel, Nobel Prize for Peace, 1986

America's return to slavery through the prison industrial complex is meant to continue quietly, although millions of families are affected.  Incarcerating 2.3 million people (two-thirds for non-violent offenses) costs taxpayers roughly $50 billion per year.  Over half the inmates are mentally ill people who should either be in hospitals or treated in community care programs.  In addition to tax monies, billions of dollars annually flow into the prison industry by using inmates' youth and vigor as prison laborers - workers who have no minimum wage and few worker safety protections.  Indeed, many of the jobs Americans believe went overseas are actually being done by prison slaves.  The Center for Research on Globalization carried an article by Vickie Palaez on March 10, 2008, which stated:

According to the Left Business Observer, the federal prison industry produces 100% of all military helmets, ammunition belts, bullet-proof vests, ID tags, shirts, pants, tents, bags, and canteens. Along with war supplies, prison workers supply 98% of the entire market for equipment assembly services; 93% of paints and paintbrushes; 92% of stove assembly; 46% of body armor; 36% of home appliances; 30% of headphones/microphones/speakers; and 21% of office furniture. Airplane parts, medical supplies, and much more: prisoners are even raising seeing-eye dogs for blind people. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8289

Some might expect so-called black leaders to be particularly vocal about the growing modern slave trade. However, regarding the proliferation of the prison industry in America, there has been an ELITE INTEGRATION, which I wrote about in an article at this link:  http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/mary-neal-responds-to-dr-watkins-re-bcc.html

It is illegal and decidedly unAmerican to secretly arrest and murder a mentally and physically disabled man, use lawyer fraud to prevent a lawsuit, then censor and terrorize the dead man's survivors to keep the murder from being publicized.  After my computers were taken over repeatedly, I took the matter directly to the public to inform people about Larry's murder and coverup and The Cochran Firm fraud.  As a response, City of Atlanta police threatened me with arrest.  Six months after being pronounced "nonexistent" in Georgia Superior Court to dodge my family's lawsuit for fraud, The Cochran Firm became plaintiffs' attorneys in a lawsuit regarding the police murder of 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston in 2006.  Besides helping to hide Larry's murder, the City of Atlanta did not want me bringing the peculiarities in the Johnston case to the public's attention.  Freedom of speech is trampled to hide criminal conduct and more lawyer fraud.  I plan to sue the City of Atlanta.  Interested attorneys should try sending me smoke signals.  My phone is monitored and controlled - 678.531.0262.  There may be some judges in Georgia who are not dedicated to keeping such cases from juries.  We will see.

If Mayor Reed, Hezekiah Sistrunk, Esq., Eric Holder or any of their close relatives were kidnapped and murdered like Larry essentially was, the media would not censor the reports.  Contrarily, there would be a media frenzy of information, a massive manhunt for those responsible, and the criminals would lose their freedom and perhaps their lives.  President Obama was angry and vocal when his friend, Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., was arrested for no good reason.  But the Neal family is censored, gangstalked, and threatened with arrest for asking WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?  We are practical people.  No one expected for the Army to help find Larry when he went "missing" (actually, secretly arrested), as happened when John Kennedy, Jr.'s plane was lost  - http://alturl.com/7tdrh - but neither would one expect a disabled American to be held under secret incarceration for weeks while police lie about his arrest and deprive him of his vital heart drugs, Taser him to death, kill him in a restraint chair, or use him for to train prison guards in "enhanced interrogation techniques" such as waterboarding.  We do not know which way the government killed poor Larry, because officials refuse to say.

I am concerned about this country and all working class Americans whose "inalienable" rights are equal to the Neal family's.  Everyone who is told a relative died unexpectedly asks, "How?"  Is that an unreasonable question?  Is the right to know how relatives were killed a privilege reserved for the elite in America now?  Why should our 88-year-old mother have suffered seven years of continuous nightmares about the circumstances that led to Larry's death in a publicly-owned correctional facility where he never should have been in the first place?  We endure pain and suffering not only because the Department of Justice helped Shelby County Jail hide Larry's death, but because it still refuses to uphold the law and protect the rights of (1) Americans with disabilities and (2) institutionalized persons, or to obey President Obama's 2009 Executive Order to respond promptly and trufully to Freedom of Information Act requests.

This article is about the terrorism and censorship used to prevent my disclosing this information, and it ends with a letter to my terrorists.  (I hate calling them "my" terrorists, but that's who they are.  Maybe they are assigned to terrorize others, also.  I don't know.)   Below is a picture of the huge pile of fresh earth that showed up this week in a neighbor's yard.  The house is listed in DeKalb County, Georgia's Tax Assessor's office as "public utility-government."  Police took ownership of that house a few years ago when the owners were convicted as drug dealers.  Like many houses around mine, the house with the mound of fresh earth was vacant for months until shortly before/after United States District Court dismissed our lawsuit against The Cochran Firm during which The Cochran Firm claimed it has no offices in Georgia or Tennessee.  There may be a reasonable explanation for the huge pile of fresh earth in this neighbor's yard, but I thought I would show it to you.  This neighbor says she works at home.  I have numerous new neighbors living in homes owned by the government or banks, and they also claim to work at home.  These residents drive late model or new vehicles (which they generally back into their driveways to prevent revealing the license plates), and they live in houses that are valued  $100,000+.  (Google "citizens police")


I became curious about our new neighbors because they seemed so curious about my family. I checked addresses at DeKalb County Tax Assessors Office to learn what the public records show about the houses around mine that had stood vacant for months without any "for sale" or "for rent" signs, then were occupied around the time of Judge Batten's ruling in our Neals vs. The Cochran Firm  case that once again deprived us of the opportunity to take The Cochran Firm fraud before a jury.  Employees at the Tax Assessors Office could not explain  why so many houses around me are owned by the government.  They said the government and banks ordinarily sell foreclosed homes. The neighbors are not Section 8 participants, or they could not be driving Mercedes-Benz cars and other expensive vehicles, some of which were parked in the driveways for long periods unused.  The white truck in the photo above had sat in that spot for over a year.  The below list does not include all the "public utility - gov" houses on my entire street, only those directly across from and beside my home:

Public Utility - Gov
5301
5286
5322 (sold to TX resident)
5328

Bank-owned
5295
5294
5302

Surprisingly, new neighbors who moved in within weeks of each other seemed to already be friends.  Whenever I published an article at NowPublic.com where I wrote as "duo," all the lights would go on at each of the houses even at 4:00 a.m.  See some of my articles there at this link:  http://www.nowpublic.com/user/51620/assignments - I'd watch the new residents go back and forward to each other's homes, and other cars would come and go from these houses.  It was strange.  My family can scarcely open our front door without one of these "work-at-home" neighbors coming outside and remaining in their yards until we leave or go back indoors.  Sometimes, I make their work hard.  One day last month, I sat on my porch in the heat for 2.5 hours.  The woman in the yellow house across the street actually swept her driveway with a broom  the entire time I sat there - not leaves, dust!  She probably had the cleanest driveway in Georgia by the time I finished my book and went in the house. 

I do not assert that all of the new neighbors in government and bank-owned homes are citizens police placed in proximity to our home to interfere with my Internet access and hamper our phone calls, but someone nearby is.  I don't think the government is actually doing the gangstalking we experience, because my stalkers are too amateurish. The government participates by withholding investigation and prosecution. During our lawsuit against The Cochran Firm in federal court, Cochran Firm attorney Angela Mason filed a pleading denying that any Cochran Firm attorneys hired a Caucasian man in a WHITE vehicle to stalk me.  I pointed out in my responsive pleading that I never made that accusation and furthermore, I never told anyone the color of the vehicle the man drove who followed me home most nights when I left my employee's offices (a Midtown law firm). Therefore, Mason should not have known the color.  A relative said, "Mason won't get any donuts at future firm meetings after this."  After her obvious error, Mason removed herself as an attorney in the case.

Black and white people in authority agree that Mary Neal shall not have net freedom. She shall not have freedom of press and free speech, because she uses it to challenge mass incarceration, executions, and prison profiteering. Either the gangstalkers are amateurs, or they intend for me to know they are following me.  Certainly, when 15 vehicles drove to our ordinarily quiet circle and turned around in our driveway within 10 minutes, that was intentional intimidation.  The phone tapping seems very amateur, also.  Surely if the government was tapping our phone, calls we place from our home would not show up on the recipients' caller ID as being from some GlobalTel number that we don't recognize.  That is tacky and very obvious.  However, it makes sense that there would be no attempt to hide the gangstalking if the aim is intimidation.  Neighbors and family saw our yard after it had been outlined in paint and saw the helicopters that were sent to stand over our rooftop for 30 minutes, probably using the paint as an aerial marker.  See the video at this link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znJS-6qw__8 GANGSTALKING MARY NEAL RE PRISONER ADVOCACY.  Thank God for choosing me for this advocacy.  My background as a legal assistant taught me the importance of having video proof and/or affidavits from witnesses for each allegation that I levy, and I share them liberally. 

My videos include proof of the psychological terrorism the cyberdogs engage in, such as the lethal injection bed with my name underneath that was programmed to appear on Care2 pages I visited, and the hungry, diseased dog that was for months the one and only advertisement on view when I used my Yahoo email box.  I captured the dog photo and put it in my Google Docs, hoping to share it with interested persons.  The cybercensorship staff is very committed to preventing my free speech in my Yahoo email box, because I joined hundreds of human/civil rights groups, African American groups, and prisoner activists groups there.  Because The Cochran Firm is meant to continue defrauding minorities to reduce or eliminate government payouts after police violence, intense censorship is used to prevent my communicating with black and brown people.  Some of my own relatives who elected to follow me at Twitter were not permitted to do so.  They joined my "follow" list but were deleted the next day.  Some of my followers have to re-follow me repeatedly.

Although our gangstalkers and the phone tap are unsophisticated, the computer sabotage is first rate.  No one can do the things that are done to censor me online merely by taking over my own computer.  The cyberdogs do things that can only be done by having control over the Internet sites where I publish.  I have films showing my Twitter tweets posting from one to three hours back.  That minimizes exposure to my followers, because it is doubtful that anyone looks at tweets that posted hours before. That is only one example.  I have hundreds of other examples of Internet censorship that could not have been accomplished merely by taking over my PC, but evidencing control at major Internet companies.  I film cyberstalking against other human and civil rights advocacy groups online, also.  For instance, when I visited Veterans Against Police Abuse, the website had no tabs visible.  Because the tabs were invisible, people who visited that website were unable to access information about the group's mission, share information, or contribute to the cause.  Visit the group at this link:  http://veteransagainstpoliceabuse.org/  - Of course, I contacted Veterans Against Police Abuse and reported Larry's secret arrest and murder by Memphis police and our denial of human rights and justice, but the enemies against justice in Larry's murder coverup are perceived as being too powerful for the group.  I do not blame them.  Larger organizations than that one are also afraid of those who persecute my family.

Someone takes control of my computers via remote access and interferes with our use of telephones.  I believe the cyberstalking must be done by someone physically close to our home since my laptops used to resume normal functioning once I took them away from our neighborhood. Then Michael Moon invaded our home in February 2010 on the pretense that he was the computer technician sent by the computer repair company I called to remove spyware.   My phone call was intercepted by people who monitor our calls, and Moon came instead of a rep from the company I called.   When he settled down to my PC in the living room, I left my iced tea unattended to go upstairs and help my elderly mom.  When I returned to where Moon was supposedly cleaning/re-installing my laptop and drank more of the tea, I instantly fell asleep.  When I woke up several hours later, Moon had sabotaged three computers, including the laptop.  The laptop actually had an icon which said, "To go online, call this phone number: XXXXXXX."  Who ever heard of anyone having to phone a computer tech to go online?  Online access from my other computers was also destroyed while I "slept." Naturally, I called the police and made a report, but nothing was done to Moon.  I was told it was because I admitted him into my home.  But surely, there ought to be a law against people who gain access to our homes under false pretenses then extort citizens of money.  Moon charged my mother and me $80 for the computer "repair." The business card he presented after being paid had the name of a company I discovered later had gone out of business four years prior to our home invasion.  For details, please read HOME INVASION, by Mary Neal in my blog at http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/

Below is a photo of another house in my neighborhood.  It is on Biffle Road at the corner of Panola Road.  After Michael Moon presented himself as a computer repair person and destroyed Internet access on my computers in February 2010, I had to start using computers  in public facilities, such as libraries and FedEx Kinko's. I had not left home much since September 27, 2008, when my young grandson and I were followed and waylaid by a USDOT truck leading four other vehicles at a neighborhood Chevron station.  We waited there terrified for an hour for 911 police, but none came.  Who has the power to arrange for police to ignore emergency phone calls from citizens being stalked?  Finally, my family arrived in two cars to help us get home without being accosted.  After Moon's visit, I had to overcome my fears and leave home to continue my advocacy for justice and human rights.  The house at Biffle and Ponola Roads has not be occupied in years.  As I passed this house the first week I mustered the courage to leave home, a dozen police officers came out of the house just as I passed and lined themselves up across the center of the street.  They all stood there facing me as I waited at the bus stop, and they stayed there until my bus came.  At first, I thought the police officers were protecting me, because I had taken many cyberstalking videos and other evidence of terrorist acts  to government officials at the U.S. Attorney's Office, DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, DeKalb CEO's Office, and Georgia Department of Health, plus I mailed and hand-delivered videos to numerous pastors, students and civic leaders.  But now I realize that over a dozen police officers would not be sent to stand in that vacant house (probably without heat) until I passed by in order to protect me.  Even former First Ladies do not have that much security. 

Oops!  They won't let me add the picture of the house which all the police exited and watched me until I boarded my bus in February.  I'll save this space and do it later.  I still do not know why police did that, but at the time, it made me feel safe. 

People tell me I am stupid for calling the police when threatened or wronged.  After all, police killed Larry, the DOJ is over all the police in the USA, and that federal agency  helped cover up Larry's murder and refuses to investigate his death, and police ignored my 911 call when stalked and waylaid in September 2008. One relative told me, "Mary, you don't get it.  Officer Tim is NOT your friend!"  When I went to Atlanta in June 2010, two Atlanta police officers violated my civil rights by threatening me with arrest if I did not immediately leave the public sidewalk in front of The Cochran Firm where I was telling passers-by about the firm's new agenda:  defrauding its clients to lessen or eliminate payouts by government entities.  (See how they defrauded my family at the link about Larry Neal's secret arrest and death - http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/ )  Although all of these horrible things happened, I KNOW there are plenty of honest, righteous police officers.  Therefore, I rely on them when people commit crimes against my family to punish us for asking "What happened to Larry Neal?"  Human rights advocates are not against police, but police brutality.  I advocate for police officers to get fair wages and improved benefits.  I recognize that police officers and prison guards are also considered to be "slave class," along with everyone who depends on paychecks or fixed income rather than interest income.  Consider the prison guards who were poisoned right along with inmates to earn prison investors $878million per year bursting computers to retrieve gold in the article at this link:  http://www.nowpublic.com/health/prisons-earn-878-million-annually-poisoning-inmates-and-guards-lawsuit-alleges

The best ways to eliminate overuse of force by police officers may be to make sure officers are screened carefully before hiring, trained well for the situations they encounter, not fatigue from working two jobs so that they can react appropriately in stressful situations, and keep morale high by paying officers salaries and benefits that show society appreciates them: free rent in foreclosed homes, free college for them and their dependants in state universities, rotate them to less stressful positions for brief periods if they show signs of fatigue, reward officers bonuses who perform without citizens' complaints, and make their lives less stressful by eliminating criminals among them. NO MORE COVER-UPS.

Cyberstalkers sometimes follow me to public libraries to censor my Internet input, unless they do it from some central locale. I find that I am able to continue taping  cybercensorship videos when I work at DeKalb Libraries, because Moon or someone has nearly the same control when I am in the library as he had over computers at my home. For instance, see the DOS at Care2 News Network when I tried to publish an article regarding Hank Skinner's imminent execution. - Mary Neal Censored at Public Library re: Hank Skinner on March 23, 2010 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaTiBU43-Mk  - Whoever the cyberdogs are who interfere with my publishing news about The Cochran Firm Fraud against my family and other minority families, they also work against publishing articles that negatively impact prison profits, such as anti-capital punishment advocacy articles (each death row inmate costs taxpayers approximately $90,000 more per year than inmates in the general prison population). Perhaps Johnnie Cochran knew about an alliance between The Cochran Firm's new owners and the prison industrial complex.  Cochran was firmly against the firm doing criminal defense work, according to former Cochran Firm attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, during her NPR interview. Prison owners/investors profit when people are incarcerated.  Listen to Holley's interview "CONTROVERSY AT COCHRAN LAW FIRM" at this link: www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=12171473 - People who rely on legal traitors for criminal defense risk more than we who were defrauded in civil cases.  Criminal defendants' freedom and lives are at stake.

Since cyberdogs are paid to prevent me from going online at my house and wait to attack any computer where I sign in at my email boxes or at sites where I publish, I have to pay to use rental computers, which gets expensive.  Library computers are available to patrons only a couple of hours a day.  As you may know,  I  gave up having computers at home after spending thousands of dollars replacing and repairing them.  I finally realized  that no matter what anti-spyware protection my technicians install, the cyberdogs take over my PCs via remote access in less than an hour.  It was a waste of money and effort for me to keep trying. Family members are scared for me to touch their computers.  They know they would also be attacked - it already happened a few times. My niece wanted to see what would happen if I used her computer, so she brought her laptop over to our house.  First we surfed the web for a while visiting different major news sites.  That worked fine.  Then, I went into my Yahoo email box and WHAM!  We were immediately  kicked offline and her computer could not go back online at my house. Cyberdogs must have a way of knowing when I sign in at major sites with my passwords.  This summer, another niece and I gave up trying to access the Internet from my home and went to McDonald's on Panola Road in Stone Mountain.  We were able to go online and work without any problems for about 40 minutes.  Then the entire McDonald's restaurant loss its Internet access.  None of the patrons were able to go online although the signal was excellent.  The staff said that had never happened before.  We went to another McDonald's on Evans Mill Road, and we were able to stay online.  But the next day, my niece's hard drive crashed.  She had to replace her computer.  My relatives know that their computers will be destroyed like mine if they try to use their "free speech" to reveal what happens to my family.

Free speech and freedom of press depend on what one says or publishes.  If I wrote about movie stars' divorces in my blog instead of reporting injustices like my brother's secret arrest and murder and the fact that 1.25 million mentally ill Americans are imprisoned for prison profits, you would see ads on my blogs from which I would derive income.  Instead, I am punished with extreme poverty for my human rights advocacy work.  Cyberdogs were hired to click AdSense ads on my articles so excessively that Google terminated my account to protect its advertisers.  My employer offered to move me to a safe position before the firm's layoffs, but I was so nervous about being followed home from work every night during our lawsuit against The Cochran Firm that I decline.  I did not know then that the judge would rule that The Cochran Firm's fraud against my family was OK or that cyberstalkers would be hired to prevent my emails and phone calls to and from potential employers from delivery. But God makes everything Satan's children do work out for my good.  Since my car was repossessed, I walk at least four miles most days and have lost 30 pounds. Because I cannot afford steaks any longer, I eat more vegetables and my collesterol level dropped.  With God, it's all good!

The next embedded video is on YouTube at this link video http://youtu.be/ROkthmx1Dlc . It is amazing that people are on alert 24/7 to monitor and censor my online input. Before they prevented my Internet access from my home altogether, I used to publish articles at different times of day, hoping to catch the cyberdogs sleeping, but they never were.  Hopefully, the cyberdogs have other people they are assigned to at the same time, or I might get the bighead.  I hoped the cyberattacks would stop when I proved to authorities that my First Amendment rights were being violated.  That is why I took officials DVDs with over 20 videos of real-time Internet censorship.  I have security reports by security guards and business owners who witnessed my stalking events as well as ample video proof of the cyberterrorism and censorship. Lack of proof is not the problem, but it was silly of me to think the same people I write about would bring remedy regarding my free speech/freedom of press violations, I suppose. It must have felt like this for Jews before WWII.  They had no one to call for help after Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. When the authorities who one would ordinarily rely on for assistance are themselves against justice, what can citizens do?  I recently read that America helped Nazi war criminals escape after WWII.  I would not have believed that a few years ago.  The story is at this YNet link: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3984028,00.html   - You can see more of my censorship videos at my YouTube channel jkempp703 - but they even hide some of my videos on YouTube.  All of the videos available at the link below should be at my YouTube channel, but some are not visible to the public who access the channel.   I guess they are too convincing:  SIX VIDEOS PROVING MARY NEAL'S TERRORISM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCACY-   http://groups.google.com/group/coalition-the/browse_thread/thread/4ade9d661daff268 - We will include a disc with hundreds of videos of real-time cybercensorship in the book jacket when my manuscript is published. Everyone needs to know about Internet censorship, the 21st century equivalent of Nazi book burning.

I am a Georgia grandmother who thought at first that my brother fell through the cracks and justice would prevail.  I did not know mentally ill Americans were being imprisoned to secure the national debt.  My goodness! And I suck at espionage or whatever it is we're doing.  I publish articles, then they sneak and delete or redirect the links therein.  Sometimes they delete the entire article if  they are really scared of the public reading it.  People want to keep calling this "land of the free" and using phrases like "liberty and justice for ALL" without my publishing news about my brother's secret arrest and murder and the denial of due process of law that followed it.  Authorities who invest in private prisons do not want to discuss alternatives to incarcerating 1.25 million mentally ill Americans who deserve treatment, although treatment is much less expensive to taxpayers.  They do not want to hear about the need to abolish capital punishment, although obviously, murder does not really repulse them or they would investigate Larry's death.  I have to re-publish the data cyberdogs delete and ask  people to pay particular attention to it because cyberdogs consider it important information.  For instance, cyberdogs deleted my Human Rights for Prisoners March article repeatedly.  It is at this link:  http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/human-rights-for-prisoners-march-by.html -

I discovered this week that cyberdogs deleted the taglines to one of my Thomas Arthur articles in this blog, and of course, they deleted tag lines for my article "Mary Neal's Job Application."  They may have deleted an important article that covers Arthur's wrongful conviction for murder (proved by DNA test results in 2009) and Cameron Todd Willingham's wrongful execution.  In the article, I revealed that my Care2 ecards about those men arrived to addressees stripped of data and that Google's gMail, which is the email box I use for prisoner advocacy, suddenly went down on October 1, 2009 - the day I reported Alabama's plans to execute Arthur despite his DNA test results.  If whites in this injustice system are treated like those men, what chance do Troy Davis and Darrell Lomax have?  Original Thought Magazine republished my article, but even that link leads nowhere now - Try this link for yourself:  http://www.originalthoughtmag.com/mag/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1428&Itemid=1428 - Thomas Arthur is one white slave class man they plan to kill regardless of innocence, and cyberdogs get tired of my publishing news about it.  Mainstream media kept quiet when the Alabama judge sealing Arthur's DNA test results that eliminated him as contributor of any crime scene evidence tested, just as the media also censors news about my brother's secret arrest and murder, The Cochran Firm denying in court that it has any law offices in Georgia or Tennessee (and getting away with it), and many other injustices.

True Lies, by Mary Neal (all rights protected) 
Lawyers lied, "No Cochran Firm in Memphis
None in Atlanta, too."
I said, "Hold on, Brotha - Let me fix that for ya
Tryin' to make yo lies come true!"

There will be a run-off election in Georgia on November 30, 2010.  As I travel, I pass by many people holding political signs on public sidewalks.  When Mayor Reed was running for office, his supporters held signs on public sidewalks saying, "Vote for Kasim Reed for Mayor!"  But I am threatened with arrest for holding signs on public sidewalks saying, "Wrongful Death of Larry Neal.com" and "COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD." 

We are living in the beginning stages of Revelation, the final book of the Bible, which foretold that governments and commercial kingdoms would unite and enslave the masses worldwide.  My family experienced the collusion between murderous police, a fraudulent law firm, and unjust courts under a federal government that renegs on its oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America for all citizens regardless of race, socio-economic distinctions, or health status.  I knew citizens' rights would be nullified like my family's has in America, because the Bible says that ALL people will become subject to this New World Order that will be presided over by the Anti-Christ.  If God's Word is true, there will be no such thing as a country that honors individuals' rights to life and liberty.  I believe God and see it happening - for the disenfranchised first, of course.  My articles to warn people about the End Game are attacked online also, especially those exposing suspicions about the H1N1 vaccines and planned FEMA centers under congressional bill H.R.645.  Apparently, all the subjects I write about are precious to New World Orderlies.

The next embedded video is on YouTube at this link video http://youtu.be/ROkthmx1Dlc . I discovered this week that my Voting Central polls disappeared off the Internet.  My polls ask whether inmates should have post-conviction DNA testing rights to avoid execution or lengthy incarceration for crimes they never did, whether Thomas Arthur should be executed despite his DNA test results ruling him out as a murderer, whether the Neal family should try again to get justice in court regarding The Cochran Firm Fraud, and whether Americans should be forced to accept H1N1 vaccines at the threat of internment in concentration camps.  Oppressors hated my polls, which were read by thousands of people.  The polls had been attacked before in December 2009, but now they are gone altogether.  See this link - http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/cointelpro-at-voting-central-against.html  - If my Voting Central polls weighed whether people liked a new pop song, they would not have been attacked.   Americans' attention is diverted to television reality shows while our own reality merits immediate attention, lest liberty die here years before it must.  Just because the Bible says freedom will be lost worldwide is no excuse for apathy.  I believe if people who care about human and civil rights work together now, we can delay them perhaps for decades or even several generations.  Otherwise, why am I censored, and why are the human rights abuses and miscarriages of justice that I publish censored by your government-controlled media?

See the embedded video below, called Boycott 4 Justice at this YouTube link video http://youtu.be/ROkthmx1Dlc I wanted to attend Atlanta's Veterans Day parade and warn veterans that while they have demonstrated their willingness to protect America from foreign enemies, they should give a care to domestic threats to freedom.  Slavery is a greedy enterprise, and growth is planned.  In January 2009, an ousted federal judge from Florida, Rep. Alcee Hastings, introduced H.R.645 into Congress - proposing to erect six concentration camps (FEMA centers) in America.  The Massachusetts Martial Law Bill, passed in October 2009, provides that citizens who commit such "offenses" as refusing to submit to H1N1 vaccines are to be "quarantined" in FEMA camps if an "emergency" is called.  White separatists should take no joy that such an evil bill is before Congress - there are no plans for segregated housing.  Just as whites like Cameron Willingham and Thomas Arthur died or await execution for unproved crimes, all races are eligible for the new slave trade through imprisonment.

WE ARE POWERFUL, RICH, AND FULL OF DEMONS. WILL YOU BE OUR SLAVE? "NO, NEVER!" I REPLIED TO THE CYBERSTALKERS AND THEIR BOSSES. "I WILL NEVER BE YOUR SLAVE. I AM A CHILD OF GOD. IN GOD WE TRUST." The video embedded below is on YouTube at this link http://youtu.be/ROkthmx1Dlc



I wanted to hold signs asking the veterans and their families to support H.R.619, a censored federal bill that was introduced in Congress in January 2009 by Rep. Eddie Johnson (D-TX).  H.R.619 proposes resuming Medicaid for mental hospital insurance.  Many people do not know that the national health care bill Congress passed omits any provisions for mental hospital coverage.  Their ignorance is intentional - the media will not publish anything about H.R.619 although that mental health care bill impacts millions of American families.  The 1.25 million inmates incarcerated for inappropriate conduct arising out of mental illness include many veterans who suffer PTSD.  They essentially become prisoners of war after transitioning home from battlefields from Viet Nam to Iraq.  I also want veterans to know that the Constitution is being violated so severely that I am not allowed to tell about my brother's secret arrest and murder or ask for fairness and compassion for other domestic prisoners.  I do not intend to get arrested until someone is on hand to film my arrest, and the videographer I chose had to work on Veterans Day.  Another time.  Students of journalism, sociology, and law might be interested.

I am very grateful to all of our supporters.  Many people signed our petition for justice for Larry and petitions posted online by Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill to help other people in their justice struggles.  Hundreds of Care2 members wrote comments to my articles that supported and encouraged victims of injustice whose stories I reported at Care2 News Network over the years. I write partly because it is therapeutic.  Hopefully, most Americans will never know what it is like to have a family member die in secret government custody and then become a victim of lawyer fraud, censorship and gangstalking to prevent justice.  Some individuals and groups help us overcome censorship by sharing links to my blogs and articles on their websites.  Hundreds of people who care about these issues joined our advocacy group at http://www.Care2.com/c2c/group/AIMI to show that they disagree with imprisoning sick people to enrich prison investors rather than treating mentally ill people in hospitals or under mandated outpatient treatment programs, depending on their offenses and functionality.  It is a blessing to meet online friends with an interest in human rights and share information to help condemned people, sick prisoners, and others.  I especially thank everyone who prays for my safety and for a just resolution regarding my family's quest for truth and equal justice. 

When I promised my elderly mother to find out what happened to Larry and demand justice, I did not expect more would be required than to place the wrongful death matter with attorneys who would subpoena records, take depositions, and file suit - all the things that The Cochran Firm promised to do at our contract meeting, then wrote us and said were being done during 10.5 months of Tennessee's one-year statute of limitaitons.  However, at the end of the statute of limitations, our file at The Cochran Firm was empty. It was all a trick to help the jail and the DOJ keep Larry's death a secret and a part of a nationwide scam against minority families. My censorship is also intended to limit exposure for other families' plights. Many people of all races suffer needlessly because mental illness is criminalized in America, as illustrated in this article:  "Am I a Bad Person?" http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/am-i-bad-person.html  - Medicaid denies coverage to individuals who would otherwise qualify for Medicaid but are treated in a psychiatric hospital.  That decision alone closed mental hospitals across America, although incarceration is expensive and does not delete the obligation to render treatment. Although no money was saved by criminalizing mental illness, it is a matter of who gets paid the money.  Congressional bill H.R. 619 is censored so that voters will not know to ask their congressional representatives to support the bill to resume Medicaid for inpatient psychiatric care for those who need it.  People should insist that government officials and their immediate families, especially lawmakers, judges, and Department of Justice personnel, sell their prison stock so that America can again become a land that God can bless.

God is against waterboarding, execution, and all manner of prisoner abuse. The Bible says:
Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, as though it were your own body.~ Hebrews 13:3

MANY PEOPLE NEED DOG JUSTICE IN THE USA -

NOTE:  I believe it is important to inform my readers what messages, links, and articles the cyberstalkers delete. They deleted Hebrews 13:3, the passage from my page at Care2 at this link - http://www.care2.com/c2c/people/profile.html?pid=513396753


Here is the letter to my terrorists.
GREETINGS, TERRORISTS:

God told me to forgive you; for you know not what you do. Therefore, I forgive you. We are living in the last days, and Satan has deceived you into thinking that there is no God. By the time you learn different and feel remorse for how you treated my family, it will be too late for most of you. Some day you will recognize how wrong you prison profiteers were to reduce this once proud nation into a place that sells its own citizens, even our sick people, on the Wall Street auction block. In the meanwhile, I trust God to protect me.  The Bible assures me of His protection as I ask people to care for the least of these, His brethren.  The Lord said "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent. For I am with you and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city." (Acts 18:9-10)

I wrote this poem: Gangstalking, by Mary Neal (all rights reserved)

Censorship and gangstalking are not the way
And violence would make it far worse
Try justice, lawyers; that's what I say
Like you should have done at first

I am a gardener in the Master's employ. I read His Word and look for evidence of its truth in current events. I use the Internet to plant seeds, because the people perish for the lack of knowledge. But the harvest that comes from my thousands of articles and emails about injustice is His business. It is for us to work and for God to bring about the results He chooses; therefore, I am not dissuaded by your terrorism and censorship. Although censorship and stalking are distressful, I should have anticipated these reactions. Jesus was also mistreated by those in governance who tried to silence Him. The same is true of other Bible prophets as well as advocates for human and civil rights throughout time. I cast all my cares on Him, for He cares for me.

I am praying for wrongdoers to repent and be saved in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord.  As for Atlanta police and Mayor Reed, get your jail cell ready, because my response to your threats to arrest me is the same as another Christian, Bishop Tutu, gave regarding South Africa's Apartheid.  My response to you is the same as Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr.'s was to Whtie Supremacists in the 1960's.  Until justice comes, I WILL continue to do the work of my Lord, who instructed Apostle Paul:  Rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee (Acts 26:16).

I esteem one "Well Done" from my Lord as being worth all the days you have stalked me, interfered with my telephone and computer usage, and kept me in poverty by denying us justice in court against The Cochran Firm and preventing my communication with potential employers for the last two years.  Yes! Give your empty, worldly awards to those who earned them by ignoring injustice toward America's downtrodden minorities, poor whites, and mentally ill citizens - slave class people who are traded on Wall Street.  As for me, I am blessed by your persecution because I shine a light on human rights violations like the secret arrest and murder of Larry Neal, a harmless disabled American, and the wrongful imprisonment of other sick people.  For my Lord said in Matthew 5:10-16:

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.


Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.


Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.


Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.


Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.


Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

I am strongly impressed that God says to you regarding America's mentally ill prisoners and wrongly convicted inmates, "Let my people go."  I will also continue advocacy against the death penalty. It is wrong to execute men and women for murder while America's injustice system continues to cover up Larry Neal's murder and threatens to arrest his family for telling people about his secret arrest and murder.  It is particularly unacceptable to execute people whose crimes are not proved, like Georgia death row inmate Troy Davis.  Even regarding the guilty, my God advocates mercy, not retribution by hypocrites (Psalm 102:19-20). 

I do not look forward to being jailed for free speech.  I love laughter, sunshine, and freedom.  However, when clay says to the Potter, "Use me, Lord," it is not for God's servants to dictate limitations.  If Jesus plants me behind bars for revealing the unjust caste system in America, or even under a mound of earth like the one in my neighbor's yard, I pray that my sacrifice raises a bountiful harvest of like-minded people to insist that this nation stop victimizing minorities, whites who lack wealth, and especially the mentally ill - sick, naked prisoners like those Jesus spoke of in Matthew 25:36-40.

I will not attempt to plea bargain and have no money for bail when Mayor Reed sends Atlanta police to arrest me for exposing my brother's secret arrest and murder, The Cochran Firm fraud, and the cruel victimization other people endure.  I insist on standing trial before a jury where I will plead guilty to believing for over 50 years that the Constitution of the United States of America actually applied to my family - even to my unfortunate handicapped brother.  I plead guilty of being a gullible, black, middleaged woman who believed America really strives to be one nation with liberty and justice for all. I am guilty of learning the truth and trying to make the nation's creed a reality. 

Not everyone will accept slavery, Terrorists.  As the world spirals downward into the final dictatorship, I determined to obey God and fear not.  Regardless of censorship, gangstalking, and threats of arrest, I refuse to watch Liberty go quietly into her goodnight.  Jesus Christ is a human rights advocate, and so am I.

Blessings!

March 2012 Note: Cyberstalkers have not allowed Mary Neal to sign in at Care2 and advocate there for human rights for prisoners during the month of March. This is a violation against my rights to free speech, freedom of press, peaceful assembly with my group members, the right to bring grievances before government officials on behalf of the Neal family and other inmates and their families, and my right to religion. My advocacy for human rights for prisoners is a direct order from God the Father in Prov.31:8-9, which cyberstalkers have been paid to prevent through criminal conduct that authorities refuse to address according to state and federal laws. As the Bible says, "Help is on the way." Jesus Christ will punish sinners in His way in His time. Today, Cochran Firm fraud partners in the Los Angeles office are in court against each other over payments to staff for sex and Johnnie Cochran's name, which the law firm has defamed by defrauding its own clients for years to benefit elitists in government entities and certain corporations. Vengeance is God's. He will repay crooked lawyers, judges, government officials, and other decision makers. Meanwhile, His children can rest in His promises because He lives. See the video below. Angela Neal sings to comfort my elderly mother who was defrauded by The Cochran Firm to cover up Larry Neal's murder, which has become America's biggest NON-SECRET. Enjoy the video, and God bless you!

MaryLovesJustice Demonstrations Begin May 25, 2010


Mary Neal pickets Georgia Superior Court on May 25, 2010, regarding Cochran Firm fraud
The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm disclaimed it had a Georgia office and Judge Shoob ruled the Neal's lawsuit was therefore wrongly served in the lawsuit regarding The Cochran Firm defrauding the Neal family after Larry's wrongful death. Picketing for injustice to hide the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal will continue throughout spring and summer 2010 at courthouses and media in Atlanta and at USDOJ headquarters in Washington.  (The media censors The Cochran Firm fraud: perjury in court or false advertising.  The DOJ participates in Larry Neal's murder cover-up). See http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/ - See my cyberterror and online censorship videos at YouTube http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jkempp703&aq=f


Beginning Tuesday, May 25, 2010, I plan to STAND FOR JUSTICE in front of Fulton County Georgia Superior Court from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m.  I plan to continue to do that on a weekly basis each Monday throughout spring and summer 2010, except the week (to be announced) when I plan to go to Washington, D.C. to STAND FOR JUSTICE in all day every day in front of the unrighteous United States Department of Justice.  This week I am one day late and will begin on Tuesday.  Peaceful persons who demand change in the unjust justice system and wish to stand with me are welcome to join me.  Approximately 1 in 30 Americans are currently imprisoned or face the threat of incarceration as probationers and parolees.  Over 2/3 of them are imprisoned for non-violent offenses.  Approximately 1 in 9 African American males between the ages of 18 and 34 are prisoners.  I especially invite family members of the 1.25 million mentally ill inmates who are wrongly imprisoned in America rather than treated in their communities or in mental hospitals, depending on their mental states and offenses.  I protest slavery being moved from America's plantations to its prison system.  I protest prison profiteering, unrighteous judges, nation-wide cointelpro law firms (The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm), the death pentalty, excessive sentencing, wrongful convictions, trying and sentencing children as adults, prisoner torture and murders, police brutality, denial of justice to poor and minority families, and other human rights offenses regularly practiced in, through, and by the United States "justice" system. My sign says "WRONGFUL DEATH OF LARRY NEAL" on the front and "COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD" on the back.  Anyone who is interested or who becomes interested in joining me over the spring and summer should bring nonviolent descriptive signs without profanity that convey they are fed up enough to stand up. 

I protest being stalked online and in person and having six computer systems destroyed because illegal, mercenary canines in government and others wish to hide my handicapped brother's murder by police and The Cochran Firm Fraud. I protest being censored in a country where my male relatives fight and have fought for freedom of speech and freedom of press and other democratic ideals. I will not watch mutely while Liberty goes quietly into her goodnight.

DYING LIBERTY, by Mary Neal

Rights you declare are over now
Beginning with sick folks
We arrest and kill who we want
The Bill of Rights' a joke

When it comes to certain Americans
The Constitution's dead
Especially for the black and poor
Get that fact through your head

Damn the Freedom of Information Act
An act is all it is
We answer only what we choose
Which is zero for Larry Neal

We have a terrific asset
In the Johnnie Cochran Firm
Cointelpro lawyers from coast to coast
Many secrets they do learn

Lawyers can hold down settlements
And eliminate a few
When policemen kill minorities
That is what they do

In Nazi Germany, the mentally ill
Were the first to go
It still seems a good starting place
Any reason to change it?  No.

We've started with the least
And will work up the social chain
We hesitate during election time
Then resume again

When the camps are ready
Everyone will know our plan
Until they're built and fully staffed
Can't let you tip our hand

So we remove your emails
And prevent you loading your films
Americans who learn what we did to Larry
Preview our plans for them

We take over your computers
And control your telephones
To limit the number of people you tell
Their civil rights are gone.

Civil rights are gone.

America's Judicial Caste System and DNA Testing


(14 paragraphs and 7 links before the CBS article) I wrote an email to principals among several political parties and suggested that candidates for elected office who make justice reform a party platform would enjoy good support from voters. People are more aware than ever before about denial of justice in criminal and civil courts, and fair-minded Americans want change. Ironically, wrongful verdicts in civil cases are automatically VOID if the evidence used to reach the verdict or judgment was false. Such judgments are not merely voidable, but already void. Civil court cases are ordinarily about money. Why does the justice system prioritize fairness regarding money matters above justice for innocent Americans who are wrongly incarcerated? Could it be that money is deemed more important than citizens' lives to those who make our laws? Apparently, that is exactly the case.

My family experienced two void judgements regarding our civil lawsuit against The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm. When we sued the firm for fraud, the law firm claimed in court not to have any office within the State of Georgia where our lawsuit was served, although the Atlanta law office is open and conducting business every day. That perjury was used to have our lawsuit dismissed without the necessity of either settling with my family or facing a jury. Surprisingly, the Superior Court judge agreed that there is no such thing as a Georgia office of The Cochran Firm and dismissed our lawsuit, and The Cochran Firm never even paused its prolific advertising for new clients and continues to accept high-profile cases in its Atlanta office. We then sued The Cochran Firm in United States District Court under the diversity rule based on the law firm's fraud on the court. Since both judgments were rendered based on The Cochran Firm's perjury about its Georgia office, both are VOID judgments. See information about the case at this website and view some of the evidence under the DOCUMENTS tab: http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/

How would you like it if days after such perjury was allowed in court to cheat you out of millions of dollars in a righteous lawsuit, your defendant issued a commercial like the one at this link? YouTube Commercial for Atlanta Office of The Johnnie Cochran Firm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlcolpUzckU. The Cochran Firm published that YouTube commercial admitting its Atlanta office within a week of the USDC judge ruling that my family is too "immaterial" to matter, and that judge also dismissed our lawsuit and prevented the case from going to jury, WHICH WE PAID TO DO. No one should leave a lawsuit against billionaires in the hands of a single judge to decide. Money is too important to some people. "JURY TRIAL DEMANDED" should be respected in the United States of America - that is supposed to be a Constitutional right, also. Unfortunately, "justice" in civil courts as well as criminal courts depends on who you are - being a citizen is not nearly enough, especially if your case is against someone in the "protected class." Perhaps The Cochran Firm hurried and published the YouTube commercial for its Atlanta office to prevent class action lawsuits against for false advertising against media companies that continued the law firm's Atlanta ads after being notified of the court's verdict. Media companies may suppress everything to do with Larry Neal's murder and The Cochran Firm's fraud against his survivors for that reason, or it could be because they are interested in hiding government corruption in the expectation of a bailout for censoring your news. Now my family is expected to just go somewhere and eat our chicken and join Larry's wrongful death cover-up, or we are harassed, stalked, and practically imprisoned in our own home to avoid harm! See "Black Relatives Killed by Police? So? Just Eat Yo Chicken and Shut up!" http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/blacks-relatives-killed-by-police-just.html

Working class and indigent people have no protected rights, whether they are black or white, especially if the people who wrong us are in a higher caste. During both court cases regarding The Cochran Firm having used its position as Larry Neal's wrongful death attorneys to work for Shelby County Jail behind our backs, Larry's survivors experienced cyberterrorism, censorship, and actual stalking. All of those crimes continue today in violation of U.S. Code 18, sections 242 and 245 and other laws, but police and the U.S. Department of Justice REFUSE to investigate the terrorism, just as they refuse to investigate Larry Neal's murder. At the link below is a two-minute example of illegal cybercensorship my advocacy for justice for Larry and other wrongly incarcerated inmates is met with every day (I have a library of such video proof): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icRD77mugaI As a poor black woman who has been deprived of a comfortable income as a legal assistant by stalkers who followed me from home from work each night and deprived of a righteous settlement or jury award by unscrupulous people - criminals! - in the "justice" system, I can do nothing about the censorship and harassment my family and I endure. However, people will NOT treat us this way and proclaim "equal justice" and "American values" and issue much-belated apologies for slavery that are believed. Larry was killed and discarded like a slave. Like families in the 1940's who awoke to burning crosses on their lawns, there is the intention to intimidate Larry's survivors into silence about the crimes we face.

How much do you think my censorship video library is worth? Cyberstalkers prevent me from being able to collect advertising income off the hundreds of articles I write about wrongful incarcerations, the need to eliminate the death penalty and decriminalize mental illness. People were hired to continually click ads at my articles and force Google to cancel my AdSense account to protect its ad customers from paying from false clicks. Cyberstalkers are particularly zealous to ensure that my articles reach a minimum of African Americans and Christians. I feel pressed to hurry and tell people how little citizens' rights are respected for whites like Hank Skinner as well as Africans like the Neals - before the FEMA camps under H.R. 645 are ready for tenants. Because I do so, it is apparently dangerous to go out to work since I am allowed to be stalked by vehicles full of men wearing bluetooths led by a USDOT truck. Google "Mary Neal 911" to see the actual police report about one horrifying ordeal that police also ignored. I urge Americans to wake up and smell the koffie in my articles and at Twitter, where I am KoffieTime - http://www.Twitter.com/KoffieTime

Perhaps the plan is to starve Larry Neal's family for daring to ask the justice system to tell how they killed him and because we sued their very useful law firm, The Johnnie Cochran Firm, for its fraud. (These events transpired after Mr. Cochran was no longer available to prevent his name and reputation from being used to mistreat minorities, as stated by former Cochran Firm attorney Shawn Holley, who sued the firm for racial discrimination after Mr. Cochran died and African American lawyers were reportedly dismissed or forced out of the law firm.) Such intense censorship is applied to my publishing government crimes that people could learn much from my videos. I would upload a couple at this article, but people are hired to watch my computer input and see that I do cannot publish them. Someone else posted the "Prison Labor Profits" sample video at YouTube for us. Being African American and having African Americans in high positions over justice has not mattered regarding my family's persecution, and neither has Larry Neal been elevated above the dog caste in America - canines' deaths are investigated and prosecuted.

After it became obvious that mainstream media would not report to unsuspecting consumers (like Kathryn Johnston's family) that The Cochran Firm denied its own famous law office in Georgia to further defraud the Neal family, I began publishing the news myself in articles such as this one. I also founded an online advocacy to RESIST OPPRESSION on behalf of other inmates like Larry Neal, who died on August 1, 2003. My physically and mentally handicapped brother was secretly arrested for nearly three weeks and returned to his family as a naked corpse without any explanation as to why he was arrested, why police lied and kept the lifelong schizophrenic man for weeks in order to deny him his heart medicines, and under what exact circumstances Larry died. Did police Taser him? Kill him in a restraint chair? Was Larry assaulted to bring on his heart attack? Was he used for waterboarding training?

AND WHERE IS MITRICE RICHARDSON, ANOTHER AFRICAN AMERICAN MENTAL PATIENT WHO HAS NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE HER ARREST IN CALIFORNIA LAST SEPTEMBER? I hope her family finds her alive and well or is able to learn what happened to Mitrice. Memphis/Shelby County Jail never had to answer my family's questions about murdering Larry thanks to The Jonnie Cochran Firm, which signed contract to represent us in a wrongful death lawsuit against the jail but the lawyers secretly held our lawsuit inactive while the Tennessee statute of limitations passed. One good turn deserves another, so the justice system rallied around to protect the traitor law firm from paying damages for its horrible fraud against our grieving elderly mother and my family. Our advocacy group to help others who are wrongly treated in or by the justice system is called Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI), a/k/a, The Dorothea Dix Group, at this link - http://www.Care2.com/c2c/group/AIMI - AIMI's 240 members are involved in a HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS MARCH across the Internet to support H.R.619, a congressional bill to help decriminalize mental illness. We also advocate to repeal capital punishment and end wrongful convictions, juveniles being prosecuted as adults, and other injustices. A list of justice concerns is at this link: http://3.vu/5hdEl

When witnesses present false testimony that leads to wrongful convictions or DNA tests could make determinations about inmates' guilt or innocence, criminal laws shoud be as fair as civil laws. Such convictions should be just as VOID as wrongful judgements are in civil court.

Over 400 convictions have been overturned after new trials, hearings, or DNA tests. This proves that many prisoners are truthful when they protest "I Didn't Do It, Your Honor!" Thousands more convicted persons seek DNA tests through the Innocence Project, but will they get them? How much does innocence matter in criminal justice? Do Americans want to continue paying around $60,000 per year for each innocent inmate's incarceration? (NY rate for inmates in the general prison population. Rate increases substantially for death row inmates, the incarcerated mentally ill, and inmates with severe health problems like cancer. The amount varies by state.)

In 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that convicted persons have no constitutional right to DNA tests, although most Americans thought they had a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Wrongful executions and incarcerations certainly impact citizens' rights.

The High Court's disappointing ruling in 2009 regarding post-conviction DNA tests, the battle rages on. Each state can still deteremine how much innocence matters for residents. On March 24, the U.S. Supreme Court stopped the execution of condemned Texan Henry Skinner with only one hour to spare. Unfortunately, numerous inmates who won stays of execution were nevertheless deprived of re-trials or DNA tests. Georgia death row inmate Troy Davis has been granted three stays; Alabama death row inmate Thomas Arthur has also been granted three stays. After Arthur's last stay of execution that prevented his July 31, 2008 execution, he was finally allowed a DNA test. Arthur's DNA was found not to match any of the crime scene evidence tested. The forensic lab results were released in July. Amazingly, the judge sealed Arthur's DNA test results, and he remains on death row nearly a year later. A hearing is planned in his case.

Millions of people agree that it is important to give new trials with substantial new evidence like Troy Davis has and give people like Hank Skinner DNA tests. It would be unfair to have Hank Skinner wait years on death row for a test he never actually receives after his stay of execution. Thomas Arthur received stays, but he kept being prepared for execution with DNA tests denied. Troy Davis received stays, but no new trial so far. Furthermore, it seems terrribly unjust to have a man pass his DNA test and STILL be on death row almost a year later like Arthur is. God help!

Since all the ads on this article have turned into ads about 9mm guns and home security, I will post the CBS article now. The CBS news below is about wrongful convictions. Please note that although 47 states grant post conviction DNA testing rights as CBS reports, some states only grant the right to test for condemned inmates - not those facing life in prison for rapes or other crimes that testing might prove the convicted person did not do. Furthermore, there should be a national mandate on how long evidence is maintained and under what conditions. Unfortunately, many of the thousands of hopeful inmates who expect to some day have the right to conduct DNA tests on the evidence that was used to convict them might be disappointed to learn that forensic evidence was not maintained in their case files.

Case Renews Wrongful Conviction Debate

Laws Granting Right to Post-Conviction DNA Testing on Books in 47 States, But Advocates Push for Change in Holdouts

(CBS) Henry Skinner was an hour from death last week when the Supreme Court stayed his execution. At issue: could DNA testing prove his innocence? Three [states] remain without laws allowing post-conviction DNA testing, and some advocates are touting this turn of events as a victory that may bring about legislative change, as CBS News correspondent Manuel Gallegus reports.

Dennis Maher spent 19 years in a Massachusetts prison for a series of rapes he did not commit. But he's not angry. "If I am angry then I am going to be bitter and dwell on what I lost," he said. Maher was falsely identified by an eye-witness and was sentenced to 20 years to life in 1984. He was 26. After his conviction, he tried for years to have the DNA evidence in his case tested. But, for convicted felons in Massachusetts, that decision rests with the judges and prosecutors - the same people who sent the convicts to prison.

"The judge thought I was guilty so he didn't have to allow DNA testing," Maher said.

Massachusetts, Alaska and Oklahoma are the only states that don't have a standardized law granting convicted felons a right to test DNA evidence in their cases. Advocates for DNA testing have tried at least three times to push the issue through the state legislature, but it's always failed. Critics found it too vague and prosecutors fought back.

As Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz put it, "At what point do we say no?" Cruz insists DNA requests should still be handled case by case and says that any new law would overload the system.

"We'd have individuals who will just say, 'I want this, I want to test,' this and it really would open up the flood gates," Cruz said.

Even without the law, nine prisoners in Massachusetts have been exonerated though DNA. But they spent a combined 117 years locked up for crimes they didn't commit. Former prosecutor David Meier leads a Boston bar association task force now urging Massachusetts to change its law.

"These cases strike at the heart of criminal justice system," Meier said and "the bill recommended by the task force would create uniformity and consistency."

Dennis Maher was released in 2003 and since then has been outspoken about the system that locked him up. "The others who are still in prison - they are just looking for a chance, a chance to prove they didn't do what happened to them," Maher said - a chance to begin a new life.
