STATUS UPDATE -- Rev. Edward Pinkney appeared in Berrien County Courthouse regarding two motions today, February 27. A motion requesting re-sentencing was denied, and so was a motion by the ACLU requesting an appeal bond. On April 14, Berrien County Court will hear two more motions, which regard the tainted jury in Rev. Pinkney's trial. The public is invited. 2) Ms. Dorothy Pinkney was disappointed that her husband was not released on the appeal bond today, and she said that Rev. Pinkney was, too. It seemed to her that the Court had already decided how it would rule today. Ms. Pinkney said the system in Berrien County is racist, but even knowing that, she had been so optimistic that justice would prevail that she had packed her husband some clothes to wear home from court. Ms. Pinkney said that she continues to rely on God for justice in this matter. 3) The courtroom and the overflow room were filled with Rev. Pinkney's supporters today, although the court had unexpectedly switched the date of the hearing from February 24 to February 27. Ms. Pinkney thanks everybody who attended today's hearing and all of Rev. Pinkney's supporters who were unable to be there. 4) A Rev. Pinkney Blogtalkradio show is planned for Sunday, March 1, at 5:00 p.m. EST. Rev. Pinkney plans to speak to you from the prison where he has been detained since December 2014 on election fraud charges regarding a petition to recall the mayor of Benton Harbor, Michigan. 5) There is a call to boycott WHIRLPOOL, MAYTAG, AMANA, and KITCHEN AID products until Pinkney is out of jail and cleared of all charges. 6) Conversing with Ms. Pinkney tonight reminded me of innumerable brave spouses and families who have supported their loved one's decision to go into battle through the years, whether in military conflicts or in the ongoing war for basic civil and human rights for Black people in America. May God continue to comfort and strengthen her and us all. The struggle continues. 7) Rev. Edward Pinkney is founder and director of B.H. BANCO Org. Electronic contributions are accepted at the website: http://www.bhbanco.org/ 8) Contributions can also be mailed to: Rev. Edward Pinkney B.H. BANCO, Org. 1940 Union St. Benton Harbor, MI 49022 banco9342@sbcglobal.net 9) Please visit the Coordinating Committee for Rev. Pinkney www.PinkneyCentral.weebly.com Go to "Info" tab at the website to get updates. Media reports are at the website that will explain Rev. Pinkney's wrongful incarceration.
10) Former activist attorney Lynne Stewart said it helps prisoners substantially to receive mail. Please write to Rev. Pinkney at the prison address below: Rev. Edward Pinkney inmate no. 294671 Lakeland Prison 141 First St. Coldwater, MI 49036 11) Justice in America is gagged.

RANDY McMURRAY, ESQ, has a new label for The Cochran Firm's attorneys. I call them "The Cochran Firm Frauds," but he calls them "Cochran Firm Racketeers," and he has plenty of evidence. McMurray is a former partner in the Los Angeles office of The Cochran Firm, who worked with attorneys Brian Dunn and possibly with Daniel H. Cargnelutti. He is suing the fraudulent, unethical, evil, sex crazed lawyers at The Cochran Firm for RICO Act racketeering. Listen to McMurray on the Rev. Pinkney Blogtalk Show February 17, 2013 http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rev-pinkney/2013/02/17/pinkney-to-pinkney McMurray says he was defrauded, also, as well as the firm's clients across the country. Numerous former Cochran Firm associates and partners complained and some sued over the years to get remedy for The Cochran Firm fraud - the honest ones, usually. The Cochran Firm seemingly has no use for ethical attorneys. Shawn Chapman Holley, Esq. exposes The Cochran Firm fraud against its own clients and attorneys to NPR http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=12171473 Vickie Gilliam, Esq. spoke about the Ramapough People's case to Terry Lowry in during a two-part interview (two(2) links): Vicki Gilliam interview Part I http://www.terrylowry.com/audio/110718VickiGilliam1.mp3 Vicki Gilliam interview Part II http://www.terrylowry.com/audio/110718VickiGilliam2.mp3 It is a shame how The Cochran Firm ran over the Indigenous People to save Ford and the EPA. They got rid of Gilliam first - took her off the case that was worth between $2 billion and $3 billion, then settled for only $12.5 million! Poor Mr. Mann and his People. Thank you to all activists and grassroots organizations that helped us to warn some of the people by sharing my articles and tweets about The Cochran Firm fraud, discussing them with friends, and inviting me to speak on your radio and television shows. We are also grateful to Press TV and the "Lawless America - the Movie" producer, Bill Windsor. A special request for abolitionists: PLEASE don't let The Cochran Firm handle any death penalty cases! According to Shawn Chapman Holley, Johnnie Cochran did not want the firm to do any criminal defense work at all. He probably suspected (or knew) that his new partners are prison investors. Prisons earn much more for warehousing condemned inmates than inmates in the general population, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. THE COCHRAN FIRM apparently defrauds other law firms as well as its clients and some of its own partners. See an excerpt of an article in New York Law Journal: October 29, 2012 -- Two prominent civil rights firms in New York are accused by a three-lawyer Washington, D.C. firm of cheating it out of a significant fee as part of a $3.75million settlement in a wrongful death case. Catalano & Plache claims that [Cochran] Neufeld Scheck & Brustin and Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady submitted court documents on settlement terms without naming Catalano as a participating firm. "The defendants engaged in a pattern of conduct to defraud and deceive plaintiff," Catalano argues in the Manhattan Supreme Court suit, Law Offices of Catalano & Plache v. Brustin, 157248/2012. "Defendants are scheming and attempting to avoid their legal, moral and ethical obligations." We should ALL file a RICO Act racketeering lawsuit against the identity-challenged, absent-minded lawyers. They OFTEN forget who they are working for on civil cases - the plaintiffs or the defendants. They forget which cities they "operate" in and swear in court, "We are in no way affiliated with The Cochran Firm or any Cochran Firm offices." The Atlanta office lied in court, saying "We are a wholly owned Georgia corporation," and "We have no affiliation with any law offices whatsoever in Memphis, TN." Judges help them get away with perjury, too, or they simply refuse to hear the case against the frauds. That happened during a class action for race discrimination in California. Clients claimed The Cochran Firm FORGED THEIR NAMES ON A BOGUS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT FOR A MINISCULE SUM, but California Supreme Court shrugged. The Cochran Firm lawyers sometimes use an alias name in court to defend the firm against fraud lawsuits, like Hezekiah Sistrunk, Esq. did. He is the managing partner in the firm's Atlanta office, which is prolifically advertised at 127 Peachtree Street. But its very existence is denied in court in order to falsely claim that the Neal's lawsuit was not served to the "right" party. The Atlanta office came up with a sham name it called a PC, but that alias was never registered with the Georgia Secretary of State as a corporation, PC, LLC, dba, or anything else. See a list in the article at the link below containing names of more people who sued The Cochran Firm for defrauding them. Most of the lawyers' frauds seem to be done to protect their clients' defendants. BEWARE of treacherous lawyers: The Cochran Firm Fraud. McMurray Exposes Racketeering! http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/rico-act-mcmurray-exposes-cochran-firm.html While The Cochran Firm defrauds its attorneys and law firms it partnered with as well as its own clients, poor Lynne Stewart was disbarred, prosecuted, and imprisoned for carrying a letter to the press for her client. The human rights attorney is 72 now, and wrestling with cancer in prison where she has been for years. God is going to have a word or two for our judges one day soon. Visit and write Lynne Stewart at http://lynnestewart.org We seem to need courageous attorneys like Spire Law Group, Juan Guerra, or Alton Maddox at times like these. Maddox admired Johnnie Cochran and probably hates what the prejudice Alabama partners are doing to his name and legacy. Maddox is a civil/human rights attorney, also. He was prohibited from practicing law in any New York court after he missed a single court hearing. "Disparate sentencing" applies to attorneys, too, depending on who they represent and how well they do it. I had hoped that my family's justice quest regarding Larry Neal's lynching and my terrorism following The Cochran Firm fraud would end on a quietly victorious note. But after viewing a movie called "Maafa21," which is available in the next article in FreeSpeakBlog, I recognize that elitists probably would not allow The Cochran Firm to pay damages and apologize for covering up my disabled brother's murder while under secret arrest in Memphis Shelby County Jail if the firm wanted to do so. None of them in that "eugenics/ genocide club" think it is necessary to treat Africans in America like real people. They believe us to be "imbeciles" and "useless eaters" and "the Negro problem" since slavery was declared illegal except for convicts, which is why America has the highest prison population in the history of the world. Upholding human and civil rights is not a popular idea in Washington at this time, either. Access the article and full-length movie about the eugenics/genocide program are available at "BLACK GENOCIDE Maafa21" at the link: http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/black-genocide-maafa21.html
McMurray's documentary proof (if you need more) that The Cochran Firm engages in deliberately false or misleading advertising and does shoddy legal work that rises to the level of RICO racketeering will be published in a subsequent article. After that, please look for "Cochran Firm Fraud" wherever you buy books. (Eight(8) links are in this article - at least they were when I finished. I had to open and repair damages in this article frequently at MaryLovesJustice blog, because cyberstalkers did not intend for my readers to hear interviews by two other attorneys - Shawn Chapman Holley and Vickie Gilliam, regarding previous frauds by The Cochran Firm racketeers. Preventing justice for Africans in America is a part of the Black Genocide program, which sterilized tens of thousands of blacks in the 1960s and continues to abort millions of black children. Murders of black people by police and mass incarceration of blacks during their childbearing years are also part of "ethnic cleansing." See the next article in FreeSpeakBlog, "Black Genocide - Maafa21." If you have been victimized by The Cochran Firm frauds, let us hear from you. Racketeering is unlawful. Blessings!

When a 70-year-old defendant is overly sentenced (10 years for delivering a letter) and reportedly denied cancer treatment while incarcerated, that could be a back door death penalty. This seems to be the plan for Lynne Stewart, a human rights advocate and former activist attorney. Stewart was imprisoned for distributing press releases on behalf of her client, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, a/k/a "the blind sheik of Egypt." She also defended numerous members of the Black Panther Party and other oppressed persons, frequently receiving little or no pay.
Visit her website at http://LynneStewart.org to get updates on her justice quest. She wrote to supporters over the 2012 Holidays, saying, "I have some personal challenges–the newly discovered lymphatic cancer that I believe will now subject me to Chemotherapy. However, I have a strong sense of never allowing any such problem deter me from someday getting released and walking out under my own power to rejoin our struggle."

Lynne Stewart #53504-054
Federal Medical Center, Carswell
PO Box 27137
Ft. Worth, TX 76127
Ralph Poynter, Lynne's husband of nearly 50 years, addressed the
National Lawyer's Guild convention in October 2012, in Pasadena,
California. As his speaking time was running out, before the end of the
speech, Poynter called upon the delegates to stand as a commitment to
support Lynne’s struggle for justice and freedom, at which time the
Guild members provided a thundering standing ovation. The text of his
speech is below.
Brothers and Sisters, Comrades, Supporters and Friends, I hope you’re
not saying Lynne Stewart is just old news. Those of you who know her
personally and remember her at these conventions know she will always be
a vital force among us. Those of you who were still in high school when
she was arrested back in 2002 owe it to yourselves to find out about
her, her career, and her case, which is still crucial to all that the
Guild stands for.
Let me just say that I am Lynne’s husband and a lot prejudiced in her
favor. I have lived with her, fought with her and beside her, and loved
her for almost 50 years. I want her to be out of Prison where she has
languished for the last three years. Did I say languish? – Lynne can’t
languish – she is always the activist, always political, always
compassionate. They can’t jail her spirit. But WE need her out here with
us on the front lines!
The federal government locked her up because they wanted to control her
defense of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and she believed that ethically and
morally she had obligations to her client; and that her adversary should
not, could not, dictate or curtail what strategy a lawyer must adopt.
Maybe you would not have been audacious in the same way Lynne was, in
issuing a press release, but she was representing a man who had been
subjected to a vicious solitary confinement for many years, was ill, and
appeared to be fading. It was “mandatory” to do this to save him. Now
that Mubarak has been toppled and the new President has been calling for
the repatriation to Egypt of that client, Sheik Omar; Lynne was right,
and the lie has been put to the government’s strident and false claims
that her actions somehow contributed to terrorism. And we are still
fighting her case – now in a petition for Certiorari to the US Supreme
Court due in December.
The last thing I want to speak on at this convention of lawyers are the
legal arguments that are available in Lynne’s petition and the chances
that any of them might have before the Supremes.
Many of you are familiar with the trial and have followed her appeal,
and then her re-sentencing, and that appeal. I do want to say that
Lynne’s case should be important to all criminal defense lawyers and
particularly to Guild lawyers because what the Government has done to
her can happen again. And it can particularly happen to Guild lawyers
who regularly take on the cases of people whom the Government despises
and who they believe cannot be permitted to win. In essence, using
regulations promulgated by the Department of Justice and Bureau of
Prisons, Lynne’s adversaries attempted to thwart her campaign to keep
her client alive in Egypt and the world. Her press release, not secret,
to Reuters, mirrored the many that her co-counsel Ramsey Clark had
issued in the face of the same regulations. But they came after her. She
is nothing more, or less, than a smart woman with great politics from a
working class background. But her amazing loyalty and relationships
with her clients were a threat.
Lynne’s case is important for all of you to support because someday you
may be confronted in your professional life with a choice between
conforming to conduct that pleases the “system”, “authority,” and doing
that which you know to be right and just. Lynne chose her client and her
obligation to him, and if you want to increase the safety zone for
lawyers centered as she was, you will support her. To be reminded of
just who Lynne is, she asked me to read a portion of a speech she gave
to the Guild in Minneapolis at the convention there in 2007. It is her
credo:
“I believe we have formidable enemies not unlike those in the tales of
ancient days. There is a consummate evil that unleashes its dogs of war
on the helpless. Our enemy is motivated only by insatiable greed with no
thought of other consequences. In this enemy there is no love of the
land or the creatures who live there, no compassion for the people. No
thought of future generations. This enemy will destroy the air we
breathe and the water we drink as long as the the dollars keep filling
up their money boxes.
We have been charged here, once again, with, and for our quests, … to
shake the very foundations of the continents. We go out to stop police
brutality; to rescue the imprisoned; to change the rules for those who
never have been able to get to the starting line, much less run the
race, because of color, physical condition, gender, mental impairment.
“We go forth to preserve the air and land and water and sky and all the
beasts that crawl and fly. We go forth to safeguard the right to speak
and write; to join; to learn; to rest safe at home, to be secure, fed,
healthy, sheltered, loved and loving, to be at peace with one’s
identity.
“Our quests are formidable. We have in Washington poisonous government
that spreads its venom to the body politic in all corners of the globe.
We have wars – big war in Afghanistan, smaller wars in Palestine,
Central Africa, Columbia, Kashmir …. Now we have those Democratic and
Republican candidates and then an election, with the corporate media
ready to hype the results and drown out the righteous protests.”
I now need to raise to you the plight of political prisoners in the US,
(not just because Lynne is one) – numbering more and more Muslims, Earth
Firsters, veterans of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s defense of minority
communities, resisters, peace activists… brave men and women, held in
the harshest conditions, some for more than 40 years. This is more than a
worthy focus for Guild lawyers, whose opposition to illicit power
should be consistent and militant. Check these folks out at Jericho and
Project Salam websites. And join their struggles. Many have no legal
representation or contact. Even if you correspond, or visit, or join a
defense team, or take on one of their cases, your reward will be great –
the satisfaction of doing the right thing with people who remain the
best among us.
In closing I want to urge you to defend and champion Lynne Stewart, one
of our own! Defend and champion all political prisoners! Set her free!
Set ‘em all free!

Paragraph 1 of 6 -- A FEDERAL APPEALS COURT upheld a ten-year prison sentence for former activist attorney Lynne Stewart. Stewart was convicted in 2005 and disbarred for allegedly providing material support to terrorists during her representation of the Blind Sheik of Egypt, Omar Abdel Rachman. This article about Stewart's appellate verdict has four(4) links and five(5) numbered paragraphs. Stewart's client opposed Egypt's former dictator, President Hosni Mubarak, years before Egypt's 2011 rebellion against oppression when Mubarak was ousted. Stewart allegedly relayed a letter from the Blind Sheik to Reuters while her client was incarcerated. The former civil rights attorney was dubbed "the People's Lawyer" after successfully defending several members of the Black Panther Party and other clients regardless of their ability to pay for her legal services. Many people regard Lynne Stewart as a political prisoner and a hero for human rights.
Paragraph 2 of 6 -- This writer joins Rev. Pinkney and Ralph Poynter, his co-host and Stewart's husband, on Blogtalk Radio most Sundays at 5pm EST. Poynter explained that although his wife's original sentence was 28 months, her sentence was lengthened after she continued to travel and speak boldly to law students about the fight for human rights. Visit Lynne Stewart's website at http://lynnestewart.org/ for more information, and listen to archived broadcasts of the Rev. Pinkney Show. A special segment on Lynne Stewart is included in every broadcast of the Rev. Pinkney Blogtalk Radio Show, where the call-in number is 347-994-3644. Archived broadcasts are available online at this link http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rev-pinkney (If you experience problems using the link, please Google "Rev Pinkney Blogtalk Radio.") The disappointing appeals court verdict will be discussed on the Rev. Pinkney Show on Sunday, July 1.
Paragraph 3 of 6 -- A thorough account of the court case and background information is in an article by Jeff Mackler, the West Coast Coordinator of the Lynne Stewart Defense Committee, at this link http://lynnestewart.org/2012/06/29/court-confirms-ten-year-sentence-for-lynne-stewart-by-jeff-mackler/ Excerpt: "Stewart was convicted at an outrageous 2005 New York frame-up trial on five counts of conspiracy to aid and abet and provide material support to terrorism. Her crime? Representing the 'blind Sheik,' the Egyptian cleric, Omar Abdel Rachman, who had also been convicted on trumphed-up conspiracy charges. Stewart issued a press release from her client stating his views on how Egyptian Muslim oppositionists should react to the ongoing crimes and murders of Egypt’s then President Hosni Mubarak . . . 'Free Lynne Stewart' must remain the rallying cry of all those who cherish civil liberties and democratic rights. Stewart, like so many others, but perhaps among the first tier, was a victim of the government-promoted malicious and murderous 'war on terror' aimed at stifling all dissent and imprisoning the innocent to justify its wars against working people at home and against the oppressed and exploited across the globe."
Paragraph 4 of 6 -- TO SEND LYNNE A LETTER, WRITE: Lynne Stewart #53504-054, Federal Medical Center, Carswell, PO Box 27137, Ft. Worth, TX 76127. Stewart continues her activism while enduring incarceration by helping fellow inmates. She is presently recuperating from surgery.
Paragraph 5 of 6 -- Many people wonder why it is difficult to find lawyers for certain civil and criminal cases even if they have irrefutable proof that they were wronged. Perhaps the answer can be derived by observing what happened to Lynne Stewart, Alton Maddox, Johnnie Cochran, and Juan Guerra (Google my article "Johnnie Cochran's CoIntelPro Murder Theory" for a brief summary about each of those officers of the court). Findlaw reported on May 17, 2012: "New York City has agreed to pay [attorneys] Michael Warren and his wife Evelyn $360,000 to settle accusations of police brutality and wrongful arrest. The couple, both civil rights attorneys, alleged they were assaulted when they tried to help a man they say was being beaten by police officers. The settlement was announced on Monday, just hours before the civil trial was set to begin. Jonathan Moore, a Manhattan injury attorney specializing in governmental misconduct, represented the couple. He believes the settlement represents an 'acknowledgement of misconduct.' City attorneys were quick to point out that no one has admitted wrongdoing. Nonetheless, the couple stands by their story. They were driving through Brooklyn in June 2007 when they saw several officers catch and handcuff a young black man, reports Reuters. It was then they allegedly saw Sgt. Steven Talvy kick the man in the head." Lawyers who care about justice like Stewart are endangered in an unjust system. They are sometimes brutalized like the Warrens, imprisoned like Stewart, disbarred like Maddox, or killed like Cochran probably was.
********* Paragraph 6 of 6 -- Stalkers are attacking paragraph 4, Stewart's address. The next article in this censored blog is "I'm a Soldier on the Battlefield for the Lord." Jesus loves justice, and people who fight for justice are His soldiers regardless of their religion or lack thereof. Justice for all is God's ideal. This article about Stewart's appellate verdict has four(4) links and six(6) numbered paragraphs. I will let you know which portion is attacked.

Below are several good news reports from MaryLovesJustice: nine(9) links within eleven(11) numbered paragraphs, two(2) photos. Paragraph no.1 has subparagraphs (A)-(B); paragraph no.5 has (A)-(L). Please read all before opening links.
1. --- THE GOOLSBY FAMILY. In December 2011, Exposed: FreeSpeakBlog published a report about the Goolsby family in Georgia. Ms. Goolsby had two sons who were imprisoned due to mental illness, a teenager and a 22-year-old. Both have had mental health issues since early childhood. In December, Ms. Goolsby reported that her teen was in solitary confinement and had been awaiting transfer to a mental hospital since spring of 2011, but there was apparently no space available for him. Her 22-year-old reported that he was raped and hit in the head with a pipe while imprisoned. His head was bleeding when he talked with his mom, although he had gotten stitches. Ms. Goolsby asked me to present the problems to you, my readers, and I did that over the Holidays, asking that individuals and organizations make it possible for Ms. Goolsby to visit her sons. Since then, things have improved for the family.
(A) Ms. Goolsby's teenage son is now in Georgia Regional Mental Hospital instead of in solitary in jail.
(B) Ms. Goolsby's older son is now in a maximum security prison. That seemed worse to Ms. Goolsby since he has very little time remaining on his sentence. But I told her the new prison likely has better security for her son, allowing someone with his mental disability more protection against being brutalized and raped by inmates without having to be in solitary. I hope I was right.
2. --- ESTEBAN GARCIA. If you listen to the Rev. Pinkney Blogtalk shows on Sundays at 5pm EST, you probably heard Esteban Garcia speak to the listening audience in January and again in February. Mr. Garcia is author of "U.S. Jailhouse Lawyers Manual" and director of the Texas and Missouri Writ Writers Association. He is also director of the U.S. Prison Reform Coalition. Mr. Garcia will be in Atlanta, Georgia on May 20 for a book signing and to meet with individuals and organizations that have an interest in prison reform. His latest book is "U.S. Jailhouse Lawyers Manual - The Unconstitutional Plea." If you live in the area or plan a visit around that time, please save the date and plan to spend that Sunday afternoon with us at Auburn Street Library.
3. --- Former activist lawyer, Lynne Stewart, will get another day in court on February 29, 2012, when her appeal will be heard. At age 70, the renowned attorney was sentenced to prison for 28 months for zealously defending a client. She was arrested and disbarred after defending an activist who stood against Egypt's dictator, Hosni Mubarak, years before the people's uprising in 2011. In July 2010, Judge Koeltl increased Ms. Stewart's sentence from 28 months to 10 years on allegations of perjury during her initial trial. Ralph Poynter, co-host of the Rev. Pinkney Blogtalk Radio show, former teacher and union organizer, invites support for Ms. Stewart. http://lynnestewart.org/2012/01/31/about-the-court-argument-on-the-29th-of-february/ - Please read about her and the appeal at the preceding link and at http://lynnestewart.com/ .
4. --- Rev. Pinkney and residents of Benton Harbor, Michigan face many challenges, but they are fighting back. In 2011, the city's elected officials were essentially removed from office and an emergency manager was appointed in their stead. Residents consider this taxation without representation. Racism and disenfranchisement of the city's residents are oppressive. Numerous people have gone missing, and there have been suspicious deaths. There is a major land dispute regarding a golf course for the elite. You are invited to join Benton Harbor and "OCCUPY THE PGA" on May 23. The fact that people are standing together to resist oppression in Benton Harbor is good news. Google "BH Banco" site for more information.
5. --- Support for the mentally ill in America is growing. Several years ago when my brother, Larry Neal, was killed under secret arrest and my family was denied records and due process of law, I looked online and called mental heath organizations in search of one that was specifically dedicated to assisting the incarcerated mentally ill. I found none specifically dedicated to justice issues although 1.25 million prisoners are mentally ill to some degree. There was also very little information about imprisoned mentally ill people online. Therefore, I founded ASSISTANCE TO THE INCARCERATED MENTALLY ILL (AIMI) to help raise awareness about the fact that 1.25 million mentally ill Americans are incarcerated for behavior that arose out of that common, treatable health condition. Over 300 people joined the organization at Care2 Network. Members include persons who are mentally ill, families with mentally ill members, mental health care professionals, human and civil rights activists, law enforcement personnel, veterans, and others. I published our announcement for AIMI in December 2007 at NowPublic.com. The announcement stopped responding to my online search, so I published it again. Since that time, thousands of emails, at least a thousand online articles and blogs, hundreds of telephone calls were made and letters and videos were published to
(a) help decriminalize mental illness,
(b) dispel the stigma associated with diseases of the mind and brain damage from accidents or war,
(c) save mental patients and others from execution, wrongful convictions, and excessive sentencing, plus object to children being tried and sentenced as adults,
(d) promote assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) programs for mentally challenged persons exiting prisons and hospitals to reduce recidivism, as propounded by Treatment Advocacy Center,
(e) support individual families and patients seeking treatment in areas where community care and hospital beds were reduced,
(f) protest restrictions on enforced treatment until patients prove to be "dangerous to self and others" by committing crimes, including suicide,
(g) reduce homelessness, imprisonment and preventable deaths among acute mental patients, including PTSD veterans
(h) champion congressional bills that give assistance to the mentally ill and notify the public about such bills
(i) fill the news gap regarding tragedies that befall the mentally ill, including police brutality, community brutality, prisoner abuse and wrongful deaths of mentally ill persons,
(j) encourage mentally ill persons to seek psychiatric help timely and continue their prescribed treatment programs,
(k) give a public forum for mentally ill persons and their families and next friends to invite help on petitions, interact with others who share their situation, give and receive advice and practical help from AIMI members and online guests who visit AIMI at http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/aimi and read my articles at MaryLovesJustice, FreeSpeakBlog, Mary Neal on Hub Pages, NowPublic.com, Care2 Sharebook, and social media, like Twitter - @koffietime http://twitter.com/koffietime
(l) honor and emulate Dorothea L. Dix, our predecessor who decriminalized mental illness in the 1900s and was responsible for the nation's first generation of mental hospitals and some in Europe, and serve in other ways.
6. --- At first, there seemed to be little concern about incarcerated mental patients. Although most families have someone who is impacted by drug addiction, alcoholism or mental illness, many families were apparently too embarrassed to be advocates for their relatives. Communities needed help recognizing that there are no disposable people. Some of the world's most gifted people have mental illness. A short list is at my Care2 profile page. Noted scientists, mathematicians, musicians, great writers, actors, politicians as well as plain Janes and regular Joes wrestle with mental illness. Mental illness need not embarrass victims and their relatives or erode community safety. And neither should mental health challenges relegate people in this country to life in prison or permanent entrapment in the revolving door to/from correctional institutions. Psychiatric treatment and medications have improved significantly over the past few decades to the point that most people with mental illness are able to function well and live wholesome lives outside a controlled environment. But that chronic health condition is like heart disease and diabetes, which require monitoring.

7. --- Within the past four years, the quest to assist mentally ill people, especially prisoners, has increased substantially. Assistance to the incarcerated mentally ill has gone mainstream, even though my own efforts are censored to continue the cover-up regarding Larry Neal's unresolved murder which occurred in 2003 while he was under secret arrest in Memphis Shelby County Jail and was followed by The Cochran Firm's fraud against our family. Having mentally challenged people receive help to avoid incarceration is AIMI's purpose. Thankfully, this is happening to a greater extent than before by numerous activists and organizations. The U.S. Department of Justice sponsors more programs and studies regarding this issue in response to public interest.
8. --- Increased exposure brings greater support for persons dealing with mental illness, just as it did for victims of child abuse and family violence two decades ago. Had there never been brave people willing to discuss those issues on television talk shows, in books and articles, we might have fewer safe houses for battered spouses and children, fewer child protection laws, and more covered-up abuse. This brings me to the final good news report in this article and an invitation for you. Please visit our new blog, Dog Justice for Mentally Ill at http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/ . DogJustice is a site for people who need help regarding mental health issues, including but not limited to the criminal justice system, and professionals who wish to make public services announcements offering legal assistance, housing, re-entry programs, counseling, and other services. My own input beyond promoting the site will be minimal, as the blog is for families and professionals to present your issues and services. You are invited to join or follow. Our announcement is at MaryLovesJustice blog: http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2012/02/become-dog-justice-member.html in an article entitled "BECOME A DOG JUSTICE BLOG MEMBER"
9. --- Our first announcements for ASSISTANCE TO THE INCARCERATED MENTALLY ILL were published at NowPublic.com, then carried on the congressional websites of some of my Georgia representatives and made front page at Care2 News Network. That fine beginning made me believe we might have the prisons half empty, mental hospitals reopening, and assisted outpatient treatment programs going all over the country within months. NOT! I did not know at the time the advocacy to decriminalize mental illness was censored, which is probably why my first announcement for AIMI stopped responding to my browsing after a couple of weeks. That led me to make a new announcement, and it has been a rough ride ever since. Please ignore the contact information at the announcements below; it is dated. Try emailing me at MaryLovesJustice@gmail.com or calling 678.531.0262. If I receive your email or message, I will respond within two days. There is still much work to be done to replace punishment with treatment for the mentally ill in America. Both links are below.
10. --- We invite your help giving Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill. Thanks to numerous grass roots organizations, activists, and Internet companies that help to publish AIMI's articles and otherwise participate in advocacy for the mentally ill. This issue can and does affect us all to some degree. We are all neighbors to one another and shop at the same malls. The downside to ignoring this issue are many avoidable conditions, including overcrowded prisons and over $50billion per year for incarceration costs, not counting law enforcement, court costs, and attorney fees for indigent persons. Of course, the most important issue about ignoring the need to treat and not punish our mentally ill family members and neighbors is that discrimination for reason of health disabilities was declared illegal long ago, and it is immoral to punish anyone based on their health status. America can and should do better than this.
11. --- My next good news report regards why the new DogJustice blog will "run itself" and the famous painting below: "He Ain't Heavy." Thank you for your attention to this report from Mary Neal and AIMI.
This article contains 60 numbered paragraphs, 41 links, 1 embedded video. Be sure to hear the NPR interview with former Cochran Firm lawyer Shawn Chapman-Holley at link 13, under Paragraph 50. I often list contents because hackers can render parts of blogs invisible and still may do so even with the numbers. A 2013 update is at paragraphs 52-55, which was added after Edward Snowden revealed that CoIntelPro simply changed names. We now have the National Security Agency (NSA).
PARAGRAPH 1 --- Sometimes, I publish articles before finishing them because of CoIntelPro interference. About a month after publishing a draft of this article, I felt that it was ready for reading by Geronimo Ji Jaga (Pratt). I began using my CoIntelPro-controlled phone and computer to try and reach Ji Jaga to get his opinion, but he immediately died. In fact, ji Jaga died just days after I spoke with Attorney Hanson about Cochran's CoIntelPro murder theory on my CoIntelPro-controlled telephone. My computer is continuously attacked by hackers, and my phones cannot accept calls except those placed by close family members and people on my "saved" list. Atlanta police officers threatened me Tasering and arrest for revealing the facts in this article to people in person, so the system is very concerned about your access to this information. In April 2011, I browsed the Internet to see if other people believe Johnnie Cochran was murdered, as I strongly suspect, and I found an interesting article by Alton Maddox, Esq. entitled "What You Need to Know About Johnnie Cochran." I learned that Dick Gregory and Maddox seem to share my belief that Cochran's life was shortened because he was an activist lawyer. Maddox's law license was apparently suspended in New York for the same reason.
PARAGRAPH 2 --- Some of the following information is republished from "Mary Neal's Black History Month 2011" at HubPages. “COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was/is a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations. COINTELPRO tactics included discrediting targets through psychological warfare, planting false reports in the media, smearing through forged letters, harassment, wrongful imprisonment, extralegal violence and assassination.
PARAGRAPH 3 --- Covert operations under COINTELPRO took place between 1956 and 1971; however, the FBI has used covert operations against targeted individuals and domestic political groups since its inception. The FBI's stated motivation at the time was ‘protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order.’” (Wikipedia and other sources.) The "social order" was and still is dominance by white elitists with a Nazist manifesto. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and many people who protested the Viet Nam War and systemic racism were targeted by COINTELPRO, especially members of the Black Panther Party. Most of COINTELPRO's budget went to suppressing African Americans' quest for civil and human rights. One of the FBI program's main goals was to "prevent the rise of a black Messiah," but whites and Jews were punished and some died for protesting racism and war, also. Consider the Kent State massacre on May 4, 1970.
PARAGRAPH 4 --- Johnnie Cochran was one of the world's most successful and celebrated attorneys. He helped exonerate numerous defendants and won significant victories in civil court for victimized minority clients, including police victims' survivors. As Johnnie Cochran's popularity grew, he manifested signs of being a “black Messiah.” Cochran died of an inoperable brain tumor on May 28, 2005. Tumors are induced in lab rats for medical research and can also conceivably be induced in humans. Cochran apparently angered the FBI when he defended the former minister of defense for the Black Panther Party, Geronimo ji-Jaga (formerly "Elmer Gerard Pratt"). Cochran said that helping to exonerate Pratt was the most satisfying achievement of his career. And he had bigger plans. In 2002, Cochran announced plans to gather a "dream team" of lawyers to sue the United States and major corporations for slavery and Jim Crow reparations. Major corporations used leased slaves and participated in systemic racism. Below are seven (7) of Cochran’s accomplishments (or offenses, depending on one’s perspective) during his final years:
PARAGRAPH 5 --- a. Cochran distinguished himself as a civil rights attorney, beginning with a well-publicized civil action case in 1966. From that time, the attorney's reputation as a "people's lawyer" grew. In 1995, Cochran led the defense team that exonerated O.J. Simpson;
PARAGRAPH 6 --- b. Cochran won numerous other high-profile criminal and civil cases, usually defending blacks, stared in a popular televised justice show; did cameo roles in movies, and became the lawyer of choice for elite blacks as well as the “common man,” especially clients seeking restitution after police violence;
PARAGRAPH 7 --- c. Cochran was on the defense team that exonerated "Geronimo" Pratt in May 1997 after the wrongly convicted man spent 27 years in prison for a murder he did not do, the first eight in torturous solitary confinement. Defense lawyers subpoenaed and received records regarding the covert FBI COINTELPRO program, which was responsible for Pratt’s wrongful conviction. Although the records Pratt’s lawyers received were heavily redacted, there was enough negative information about unethical and illegal actions to prompt a Congressional investigation, and the COINTELPRO program was officially terminated. In 2000, Pratt won a $4.5 million settlement for his wrongful conviction.
PARAGRAPH 8 --- d. Cochran signed a partnership agreement with Southern white attorneys with the vision of taking The Cochran Firm nationwide. Cochran stipulated that The Cochran Firm would dispense with criminal defense and only accept clients in civil action cases, according to Shawn Chapman Holley, a former Cochran Firm attorney who worked with Cochran for 17 years but was among the lawyers who were forced out of the firm after his death (Google “Controversy at The Cochran Firm” and hear her NPR interview, or access the link below). Some former attorneys of The Cochran Firm sued new owners for fraud and race discrimination, including Chapman-Holley.
PARAGRAPH 9 --- e. In 2002, Cochran announced that he and others were organizing a Reparations Dream Team to seek restitution for descendants of African slaves in America.
PARAGRAPH 10 --- f. In 2003, Cochran joined the Tulsa Reparations Council’s legal team pro bono to file suit for the 1921 Tulsa Race Riots. He saw that case as a step toward suing the U.S. Government and corporations that used slave labor.
PARAGRAPH 11 --- g. In 2005, Cochran died, and most of his original lawyers in the California office and the staff were reportedly terminated or forced out of the firm.
PARAGRAPH 12 --- Johnnie Cochran felt compelled to correct injustices, and that may have caused his death. "We have an obligation to fight hard and leave no stone unturned to find justice," Cochran said. "It's been too long coming, so we must act urgently."
PARAGRAPH 13 --- JOHNNIE COCHRAN DISCUSSES THE GERONIMO JI JAGA PRATT CASE at YouTube video http://youtu.be/DbxuyMrGzRk
PARAGRAPH 14 --- THE COCHRAN FIRM'S NEW AGENDA - With the death of Johnnie Cochran, his Southern white partners began to fulfill one of CoIntelPro's mandates. The Cochran Firm seems intent on keeping wealth out of African Americans' hands in order to "maintain the existing social order." The Cochran Firm has been sued repeatedly since 2005 by its former attorneys and clients throughout America who allege fraud, malpractice and racism against the firm; however, there is a determination to keep these lawsuits out of mainstream news reports and consumer protection reports, and to withhold censure of the unethical law firm by state bar associations no matter what The Cochran Firm does. This is grossly unfair to African American legal consumers in particular, but The Cochran Firm saves major corporations and municipalities billions of dollars some years by defrauding its minority clients. See a list of lawsuits and allegations in an article entitled "Beware of Treacherous Lawyers: The Cochran Firm" http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/beware-of-treacherous-lawyers-cochran.html
PARAGRAPH 15 --- Young men close to Johnnie Cochran and Geronimo Ji Jaga (Pratt) were killed in two unsolved murders. Johnnie Cochran's 16-year-old nephew, Anthony Caldwell, was fatally shot as he rode his bike with a friend in December 2001. On September 13, 1996, Tupac Shakur, godson of Johnnie Cochran's client Ji Jaga, also died of gunshot wounds. Johnnie Cochran's brother was also murdered. Johnnie, himself, became gravely ill and died shortly after he announced his intention to sue for reparations and partnered with unethical Southern white attorneys, maybe to raise money for the lawsuit. Cochran's fatal illness and death cleared the way for his name and legacy to be misused to defraud minorities in law offices that opened throughout the nation, some without any lawyers whatsoever. The main function of The Cochran Firm now seems to be to accomplish three main objectives:
1) soothe victims or their survivors and minority communities to forestall riots after police violence;
2) gather information under the client/attorney privilege; and
3) reduce or eliminate payouts to the firm's clients in certain cases to protect government entities and some large corporations while giving the semblance of justice.
PARAGRAPH 16 --- Of course, my family did not know The Cochran Firm had new goals when we were induced to contract with the racist firm following my handicapped brother's kidnapping and murder while under secret arrest in Memphis, and neither do other hapless victims know what they should about The Cochran Firm. From the amount of censorship this writer faces, the new modus operandi of The Cochran Firm is intended to remain secret forever. Because I make online reports, I have also become a CoIntelPro target. My computer usage is curtailed by paid hackers; I am followed by several people, one of whom admitted he was paid well to follow me, and police refuse to investigate the crimes. Our phone is on lock-down, restricted to receiving calls from close family and friends. That is apparently done to prevent me from communicating with attorneys, human and civil rights activists, and potential employers as well as to keep certain information from being widely known. We live like prisoners in this "democratic" nation to hide my brother's lynching and The Cochran Firm CoIntelPro fraud against minorities. My censorship also impedes reports about other crimes against humanity in the USA.
PARAGRAPH 17 --- If Senate Bill 968 passes, the United States Justice Department becomes America's Internet police. The government will be allowed to redirect links, control our browsers, and remove targeted websites. That will enable the government to secretly arrest and murder more Americans without worrying about their relatives using the Internet to report the crimes like Mary Neal has done for six years regarding Larry Neal's murder cover-up. Internet links to YouTube videos that captured police violence like the shooting death of Oscar Grant by B.A.R.T. police on January 1, 2009 may no longer be online. [Internet censorship bills are continuously before Congress, and the worst one yet may be the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which may bypass Congress.]
PARAGRAPH 18 --- As I used my computer to alert America to the latest threat to net freedom (S.968), all my blogs disappeared from three different Blogger accounts, but Google, a free speech champion, managed to get them back online within hours. Roughly 11,000 of my tweets for human rights and justice for The Cochran Firm fraud disappeared from my Twitter account in December 2010, I am grateful that Twitter reinstated them months later. If Senate Bill 968 passes, all websites and blogs that offend the Justice Department by carrying censored news may be deleted in one day.
PARAGRAPH 19 --- Johnnie Cochran's successes and numerous victories by other attorneys made blacks feel that our justice quests might be handled more fairly in courts across the nation. Rioting after abuses of power stopped when minorities came to believe that America was closer to being a place of justice for all, which saved lives and property. Fairness also helps honest police officers have a less volatile work environment and more cooperation and respect from people in the communities they serve. But things have changed. When clients take cases to The Cochran Firm, the lawyers sometimes do what was done to my family. After clients sign contract, the Cochran Firm holds certain cases secretly inactive while the statute of limitations runs. The firm may also send lying status reports to defrauded clients through U.S. Mail fraud, which was done to the Neals. See our "Wrongful Death of Larry Neal" website. See other ways The Cochran Firm tricked its clients in the article, "Beware of Treacherous Lawyers - The Cochran Firm."
PARAGRAPH 20 --- Reference links appear at the end of this article. "They" removed my capacity to have links to open in a new window years ago, which might interfere with your ability to return to the article. The back arrow should work, but one cannot be sure.
PARAGRAPH 21 --- The Cochran Firm contracted to represent my family as wrongful death attorneys immediately after my handicapped brother's lynching in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003, but devious attorneys hid a serious conflict of interest then worked for jail behind our backs. Since The Cochran Firm was "handling" Larry's family, the United States Department of Justice allowed Memphis Shelby County Jail to file fraudulent reports in United States District Court that omitted the mentally, physically handicapped black man's murder, thus becoming an accessory to Larry's murder after the fact. Super lawyer David McLaughlin wrote my mother and me (through U.S. Mail fraud) about a vigorous discovery process being underway while the Tennessee statute of limitations passed and no legal work whatsoever was actually being done.
PARAGRAPH 22 --- Because The Cochran Firm defrauded my family in order to protect the jail and State of Tennessee, Larry Neal's wrongful death and negligence lawsuits were never filed. The Cochran Firm's fraud protected the injustice system regarding Larry's lynching, and the injustice system reciprocated when my family sued The Cochran Firm for its fraud in 2005. Georgia Superior Court Judge Wendy Shoob dismissed our lawsuit against The Cochran Firm, which was served to The Cochran Firm's Atlanta office. She concurred with a false claim that our complaint was served wrong, alleging that there is no Cochran Firm office in Georgia. People marvel at that lie when they learn the court signed an order ruling the most famous plaintiffs law firm in Georgia nonexistent.
PARAGRAPH 23 --- When we sued The Cochran Firm in federal court in 2007 under the diversity rule (requiring that plaintiffs and defendants not reside within the same state), Judge Timothy Batten ruled it was "immaterial" that The Cochran Firm defrauded my family to protect Shelby County Jail regarding Larry Neal's murder while secretly incarcerated. A week after the unjust ruling in United States District Court, Hezekiah Sistrunk, managing partner of The Cochran Firm's Atlanta office, published a YouTube commercial advertising legal services at the court-declared "nonexistent" Atlanta office of The Cochran Firm. The United States Department of Justice refuses to investigate Larry's murder or release records regarding his fatal arrest, although the Department of Justice was already in direct overview of the jail following a lawsuit against it by the USA. Lynching black men is still an allowed sport in America, even under the present administration.
PARAGRAPH 24 --- In addition to withholding legal work to allow the statute of limitations to pass, corrupt plaintiffs attorneys can also mislead their clients to settle civil action cases for substantially less than the value of their claims. I believe this trick was played on the Ramapough People, a tribe of Native Americans who looked black, as well as the survivors of Kathryn Johnston, the 92-year-old Atlanta police murder victim. Johnston was murdered in the world's worst no-knock warrant case in 2006. Her death occurred just six months after Georgia Superior Court pronounced The Cochran Firm nonexistent in Georgia. Being pronounced "nonexistent" did not deter The Cochran Firm from running to the police department's rescue when the elderly black woman was killed. The Cochran Firm supposedly filed a lawsuit on behalf of Johnston's survivors demanding $18million, then settled with the City of Atlanta in August 2010 for only $4.9million. However, neither Georgia Superior Court nor State Court in Fulton County, Georgia had any record of the lawsuit having been filed when clerks checked the courts' records after the lawsuit was settled. Furthermore, the devious lawyers did not try Johnston's wrongful death case before a jury, which would undoubtedly have awarded the full amount of the demand or more.
PARAGRAPH 25 --- Adding insult to injury, the Complaint The Cochran Firm placed on record for Johnston's wrongful death puts forth the already debunked police excuse that an informant reported buying drugs from Johnston's home. Using the victim's Complaint to try and excuse Johnston's murder by police was particularly vile. From the date the media announced that The Cochran Firm contracted to represent Johnston's survivors, I knew that family would be defrauded to help the City of Atlanta save money like my family and others have been. Coincidentally (or not), Judge Marvin Shoob presided over that case in federal court after it was reportedly removed to USDC from State Court. He just happens to be the father of Judge Wendy Shoob, who pronounced The Cochran Firm nonexistent in Georgia six months before Johnston's murder. You could have seen numerous articles I wrote to try to warn Johnston's survivors what they faced by Googling "Mary Neal Kathryn Johnston," but the Examiner merged with NowPublic.com, and my articles were taken offline.
PARAGRAPH 26 --- In 2009, three of the officers in Johnston's home invasion and shooting death were sentenced to prison for her murder, but Johnston's family's lawsuit was still not settled. I became increasingly alarmed about justice for that family. Although I am followed and threatened when I leave home, in June 2010, I went downtown Atlanta to protest Larry's murder, my family's injustice, and the fact that Johnston's family's justice quest was on hold. Atlanta police threatened to Taser and arrest me when I stood outside the court-declared "nonexistent" Cochran Firm office and told people about The Cochran Firm fraud and askedfor fairness for Kathryn Johnston's family. The officers said I have no free speech rights in Atlanta, Georgia, where a Kaseem Reed, a black man, is mayor, and where John Lewis, a former civil rights advocate who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is congressman. Many black leaders were more interested in uplifting the "downtrodden" when that term applied to themselves and their families. Now families of lynched black men are threatened, censored, and stalked but denied police services in municipalities where blacks are elected officials, in a country where a black man is Attorney General.
PARAGRAPH 27 --- Unfortunately, The Cochran Firm now represents clients in criminal cases, which Chapman-Holley reports is contrary to the partners' agreement with Johnnie Cochran. Hopefully, the lawyers do not do like certain Pennsylvania judges who arranged with private prisons to railroad juveniles into incarceration for $2.6 million in kickbacks that one judge called "finder's fees." People resent my reporting these unethical, criminal activities to the public, so I live under threat. Read more and access videos and articles exposing THE COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD in the blog by that name at http://CochranFirmFraud.blogspot.com . See my videos on YouTube: Cochran Firm Fraud 1 and 2 and The Cochran Firm's YouTube video advertising its Atlanta law office which appeared online days after the United States District Court ruled that the firm's fraud against my family was "immaterial" and dismissed our lawsuit that was filed under the diversity rule based on The Cochran Firm's perjurous representation that the firm has absolutely no law offices within the State of Georgia.
PARAGRAPH 28 --- PUNISHING "PEOPLE'S" LAWYERS ~ Former Cochran Firm attorney Shawn Chapman Holley's statement during her NPR interview that none of Johnnie's original lawyers are with The Cochran Firm's Los Angeles office any longer was confirmed during a phone conversation I was honored to have with Attorney Stuart Hanlon, who worked with Cochran on the Geronimo Ji-Jaga (Pratt) defense team. According to Holley, Johnnie Cochran's attorneys were forced out of the firm after he died, which death happened soon after he partnered with the people who I KNOW to be white supremacists, New World Order enthusiasts and black Confederate soldiers.
PARAGRAPH 29 --- Did Cochran die of natural causes? Regarding Johnnie Cochran, Alton Maddox wrote: "When a lawyer simply sits at the defense table and another black man is acquitted, that is too much power for any lawyer to enjoy."
PARAGRAPH 30 --- Before turning The Cochran Firm into a COINTELPRO operation, Johnnie Cochran and his civil rights team of attorneys had to go. Then blatant abuses began that the lawyers and courts and government officials apparently expected to hide forever by censoring and terrorizing people who attempt to expose the program. It is obvious The Cochran Firm is exempt from obeying the Rules of Professional Conduct that govern attorneys by my evidence that it enters into contracts with the intent of working against its own clients. Lawyers who defraud their clients reduce their own income by millions per case. Obviously, someone else is paying them even when they 'lose' cases, probably taxpayers.
PARAGRAPH 31 --- On television shows, undercover police officers get arrested right along with the people they have been surveilling in order to keep their "cover." The Cochran Firm errors by engaging in blatantly unethical and criminal conduct that is allowed by courts while clients' complaints are ignored by State Bars and the Better Business Bureau. The federal government and Cochran Firm attorneys may blame me for revealing who they are, but the truth is The Cochran Firm blew its own cover when it actually had a court deny the firm's existence in Georgia while its prolific advertising for the firm's Atlanta office continued and the firm never stopped conducting business under that identity. Complaints about the apparent false advertising or perjury in court are ignored by the FTC, FCC, and other consumer protection agencies, and the media refuses to report anything about the matter. It makes the mistake of receiving awards by legal agencies, also. Certainly no real "people's lawyers" would be allowed to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct under a cloak of secrecy while receiving awards from Caucasians, especially not lawyers who really uphold civil and human rights for minorities in America. Note that famous African Americans and businesses they head are scandalized throughout the world whenever they get sued, well before the lawsuits go to court.
PARAGRAPH 32 --- Compare the injustice system's tolerance for The Cochran Firm fraud to the punishment delved out to three "people's lawyers" discussed below: Alton Maddox, Lynne Stewart, and Juan Guerra. New York lawyer Maddox was suspended indefinitely for missing a court date. Stewart was disbarred and sentenced to over 10 years in prison for zealously defending a client and for perjury allegations she denies (and almost died of cancer in a Texas prison). Juan Guerra was also charged with criminal offenses that he denies after he prosecuted high-ranking politicians accused of prisoner abuse. The charges caused Guerra to lose his position as prosecuting attorney in Willacy County, Texas. See a brief summary of each lawyer's punishment:
PARAGRAPH 33 --- Alton Maddox's law license was suspended after representing several proven and alleged crime victims, including the family of Michael Stewart, a Brooklyn man who died while in custody of the New York City Transit Police. Maddox also caused controversy by accusing New York Assistant District Attorney Steven Pagones of abducting and raping Tawana Brawley. Maddox represented Brawley. A grand jury exonerated Pagones and suggested that Brawley had concocted a hoax. 1990, Maddox was indefinitely suspended by the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court in Brooklyn after failing to appear before a disciplinary hearing to answer allegations regarding his conduct in the Brawley case. (Wikipedia) After his suspension, Maddox wrote: "I am alive physically but dead civilly. As a fighter, I have had to take left jabs, right hooks, uppercuts, body shots and punches below the belt. So far, I have been able to avoid the knockout punch. New York intends to make sure that I serve Sharpton's sentence like Cochran and [attorney, Arthur] Lewis were placed on death row."
PARAGRAPH 34 --- Another "people's lawyer" was disbarred and imprisoned: Lynne Feltham Stewart. She is a 71-year-old former attorney who represented controversial, and often unpopular defendants, including former members of the Black Panthers Party. In 2005, Stewart was convicted on charges of conspiracy and providing material support to terrorists and sentenced to 28 months in prison. Her felony conviction led to automatic disbarment. She allegedly gave Reuters an article from her client and was convicted of helping pass messages from her client, Omar Abdel-Rahman. He is an Egyptian cleric who opposed the recently exiled Egyptian dictator years before Egyptians rebelled en masse against tyranny in February 2011. Stewart was re-sentenced on July 15, 2010, to 10 years in prison on allegations of perjury during her trial and because of her apparent "lack of remorse" after the initial sentencing (she continued to be outspoken about perceived injustices). Commenting on her case, human rights organization "Front Line" stated that Stewart’s prosecution "has had a chilling effect on human rights defenders who stand between government agencies and potential victims of abuses." (Wikipedia)
PARAGRAPH 35 --- Former Willacy County, Texas District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra suffered persecution after bringing indictments against certain judges, local and high federal officials in 2008 regarding inmate abuse in county jails. The indictments alleged that officials, including former U.S. Attorney General Gonzales, withheld investigations after inmate abuses in order to protect private prisons and county jails in which they held stock or from which they received kickbacks. Guerra is now a defense attorney and can be contacted at this email address: juan@juanangelguerra.com. None of the officials who were indicted by the Willacy County, Texas grand jury stood trial on the charges. There is apparently some agreement among United States Department of Justice officials not to investigate abuses and murders of inmates inside American jails and prisons as well as in offshore War on Terror Camps. For instance, the circumstances of Larry Neal's death after 18 days of secret arrest in Memphis Shelby County Jail are treated like a national secret, and his family is terrorized for asking justice officials to investigate and prosecute his murder like they did for Michael Vick's dogs.
PARAGRAPH 36 --- The Neals requested the records regarding Larry's death under secret arrest before realizing that African Americans and mentally ill people of all races are not considered equal to pit bulls in America. We believed America had advanced beyond racism and class prejudice to a greater degree than it actually has. We erroneously believed the U.S. Constitution was still the law of the land and that all murders were treated as criminal acts. We did not know that slavery was reinstated (if it ever ceased) and that people are not more accountable for black men's murders in 21st century America than in the 1500's. Pardon me for believing we had almost overcome.
PARAGRAPH 37 --- Unlike those "people's lawyers" listed above who were unfairly prosecuted and disbarred, The Cochran Firm is rewarded for disregarding legal ethics to defraud its clients on behalf of government entities and certain corporations. Hezekiah Sistrunk and other Cochran Firm attorneys were recently awarded key positions to represent plaintiffs against BP regarding the 2010 oil spill and against Johnson & Johnson regarding faulty DePuy hip implants. Therefore, thousands of plaintiffs of all races must now rely on the unethical attorneys to represent their claims against Big Business. I recommend plaintiffs to opt out of class action cases where The Cochran Firm attorneys have key positions on the litigation teams. The Cochran Firm loses business because this writer and others expose The Cochran Firm fraud online and in person during protests in Atlanta, but federal judges apparently handed the firm thousands of cases to continue their mission - this time not against black clients only. Will the BP and Depuy plaintiffs be treated fairly, or will their own lawyers work with their defendants behind their backs? Is The Cochran Firm sometimes set loose on companies to win rather than "throw the fight" if a particular company is being punished by the powers that be?
PARAGRAPH 38 --- I experience censorship and stalking because I also advocate for people who are discriminated against, especially the mentally ill of all races. It was interesting to learn about persecution against attorneys for helping people like myself who are unjustly targeted for denouncing oppression in America. I wondered why it was challenging to find an attorney to represent my family after we became Cochran Firm fraud victims and the many illegal attacks against my First Amendment rights - offenses for which we have abundant proof on video and affidavits by witnesses.
PARAGRAPH 39 --- The fates of attorneys like Johnnie Cochran, Alton Maddox, Lynne Stewart, and Juan Guerra made it clear that when attorneys take certain criminal cases and civil action cases, they may risk retribution from COINTELPRO or whatever the program is called now (perhaps the Patriot Act). I was told by one attorney that the justice system's function is to (a) control perceived "lesser" people and (b) hold corporations accountable to each other. It is not intended to make elitists honor the human and civil rights of Americans, particularly minorities. The only way to get the injustice system to do that is to have many eyes watching a civil action or criminal case, and even then justice is often withheld. Consider Troy Davis, who remains on Georgia's death row although his guilt was never proved and hundreds of thousands of people worldwide protest his execution. Little do they know that Georgia courts actually ruled justice for black people such as Troy Davis and my family to be "immaterial."
PARAGRAPH 40 --- When I recognized that the media was determined to withhold reports regarding Larry Neal's kidnapping and murder and The Cochran Firm fraud, I began using the Internet to report these matters to the public. A testament to how strong the New World Order already is in America is the fact that no major so-called human/civil rights organizations have come forward to help me ask these disturbing questions listed below as "a" through "o":
a. "Why does the United States Department of Justice help cover-up the secret arrest and murder of a mentally, physically handicapped man, Larry Neal?
b. What excuse can the USDOJ offer for refusing to release records on Larry Neal's fatal arrest in a facility that was under its direct overview?
c. Why does the federal agency that is charged with protecting the civil and human rights of institutionalized persons ignore that responsibility and help murderers cover-up their crimes instead?
d. Why does the USDOJ ignore censorship and terrorism against Larry Neal's survivors who are stalked online and in person to prevent more people from knowing about the murder cover-up and The Cochran Firm's fraud, which prevented the family's wrongful death lawsuit against Memphis Shelby County Jail from going to court? Why do courts protect the firm from lawsuits when fraud is proved?
e. Why are 1.25 million mentally ill Americans imprisoned rather than being treated in their communities or hospitals (depending on their offenses and functionality) although treatment is cheaper than incarceration and more effective for community safety?
f. Why did the NAACP request that Congress outlaw menthol cigarettes, which is the type that 80% of black smokers use? Why did the NAACP propose such a discriminatory law?
g. Is it to add to the numbers of blacks behind bars, which is currently 1 in 9 among black men under 34 years of age?
h. How many lawmakers and other government officials, including judges, are private prison stockholders?
i. Are prison stocks really used to secure the national debt?
j. Is that why 2.3 million Americans and immigrants behind bars and the reason for immigration laws to remand illegal aliens to prison rather than back to their countries?
k. What is being done to reduce prison costs, currently over $50billion per year ($185 billion annually when factoring in police services, court costs, and indigent defense, etc.)?
l. Private prisons make billions more by enforcing inmate labor on jobs that were outsourced to prisons and are sorely missed by "free" Americans and legal immigrants.
m. Do representatives have any intention of abolishing 21st century slavery, or is mass incarceration proliferated because so many lawmakers, judges, and prosecutors own prison stock?
n. Where are the 37 inmates who reportedly went "missing" from Georgia prisons after inmates' nonviolent labor strike in December 2010? Will America continue to be a country where citizens are reportedly "missing" but are really suffering abuse and some are dying behind bars?
o. My most offensive question for authorities is probably, "What happened to Larry Neal?"
PARAGRAPH 41 --- I commented at Maddox's article entitled "Freedom Is Not Free, Pt. 2" to let him know that I agree with his theory that Johnnie Cochran's life was probably shortened because he was an activist attorney. I also warned him about Internet censorship. I wrote:
PARAGRAPH 42 --- "Your Committee to Reinstate Alton Maddox site is cyberstalked. When I opened the site, it did not look like it should. I called the number provided to find out more about your justice quest and reached a recording saying the number is not in service -718-834-9034. Is the number not working, or is that a ploy to prevent you from having support? If it is a ploy, they also do this to my phone number 678.531.0262 to keep people from knowing about THE COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD against my family, outlined in my website, "Wrongful Death of Larry Neal." My home phone number is cyberstalked to prevent calls to and from human/civil rights activists, attorneys, and potential employers. Economic oppression is one of the main tactics oppressors use. My email box is cyberstalked, too. I have to sign in numerous times before it opens, which gives cyberdogs a chance to delete select emails that I am not permitted to receive. So COINTELPRO is definitely not done. It would appear that you and I are its victims, as well as Johnnie Cochran."
PARAGRAPH 43 --- My family's telephone is controlled by those who prevent incoming and outgoing calls according to their preference. Some callers are falsely told our phone (678) 531-0262 is disconnected. Others hear my voicemail message, but select voice messages are deleted by illegal stalkers and we never actually receive them. Lately, callers hear the phone ring constantly, but it is not really ringing in our home and voicemail should pick up after the fourth ring. Changing phone numbers and service providers has not helped. The Pharisees are determined to prevent our communication. It should embarrass American officials to launch wars against other nations allegedly for human rights violations while allowing this nation's acute mental patients to be secretly arrested and murdered without prosecution, then allowing or facilitating terrorism against survivors to keep it quiet.
PARAGRAPH 44 --- ANOTHER of my computers was destroyed around April 11, 2011, after I again published an article about a peaceful consumer initiative that could slow America's slide into Nazism: "BOYCOTT 4 JUSTICE: No Shopping on May 9 or the 9th of Any Month in 2011." This is a nonviolent protest that should appeal to workers, abolitionists, peace advocates, environmentalists, civil and human rights organizations, and everyone who is concerned about the direction of America. Protesters omit an important component of successful protests during the civil rights era. Every wrong decision benefits some corporate interests. Protest marches, rallies, and petitions should be accompanied by a financial incentive for change. A 24-hour shopping boycott once monthly would inspire respect for Americans as customers and constituents among businesses, and many problems would be addressed.
PARAGRAPH 45 --- If there are any more attorneys like Cochran, Maddox, Guerra, or Stewart who agree that no family should be terrorized for asking for records and an investigation regarding the secret arrest and murder of a handicapped relative or for trying to help other mentally ill Americans avoid Larry Neal's fate, please try to contact us via phone or email - MaryLovesJustice@gmail.com . I respond to all emails, but I have no way of knowing what percentage of emails do not. Some disappear even while I am reading them.
PARAGRAPH 46 --- Terrorists are afraid our family will ascertain legal representation to sue regarding the conspiracy to deny my family's civil rights. The Cochran Firm partner Jock Smith, deceased, won a $1.6billion judgment against an insurance company not because he is brilliant, but because Americans hate fraud and think it is deplorable how big corporations and government agencies trample citizens' rights. Culprits know if the case about my mentally, physically handicapped brother's secret murder and his survivors' denial of justice, including my stalking and censorship, ever goes before a jury, the jury would rule in our favor and the elaborate, expensive Cochran Firm COINTELPRO fraud against Americans would end.
PARAGRAPH 47 --- If other attempts to contact me fail to get a response, please comment at one of my articles at the following web sites: http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/ or http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/ or http://justicegagged.blogspot.com/ . Interested persons are also invited to place a comment at one of my articles at HubPages. Please include a phone number or website for us to contact you. We will use a phone other than our own to make it harder for "them" to know we made contact. I invite everyone to follow me at Twitter, where I am @koffietime at https://twitter.com/koffietime (I am not allowed to have a working "follow me at Twitter" button at my blogs.) Followers should check regularly to see if they are still listed among my followers. Cyberstalkers frequently delete African Americans, media personalities, people who have large lists of followers, and persons from other countries. Even my own family members are deleted from my Twitter followers list because people are so determined that blacks will not know about The Cointelpro Cochran Firm agenda.
PARAGRAPH 48 --- Listen online to the Rev. Pinkney Blogtalk Radio Show of May 8, 2011, to hear cyberdogs interrupt my phone call repeatedly during my interview. On Mothers Day, I attempted to inform the radio audience about Virginia Davis' untimely death. Troy Davis' mother died on April 12, about two weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected her son's final appeal regarding his death penalty for a murder that millions of people disbelieve he did. Ms. Davis was not sick, but Troy's sister, Martina Correia, said stress and brokenheartedness killed their mother. Correia has been a leading spokesperson for her brother and other death row inmates, but she now has stage 4 cancer [update: Martina died, too].
PARAGRAPH 49 --- Many black leaders like Cochran and Correia and Coretta King get tumors and cancer. I saw my own name associated online with the word "epoxy," but most of my family's threats involve house fires, kidnapping, false arrests, and violence against family members, including children. Before cyberstalkers completely took over my Yahoo email account to prevent my communications with hundreds of African American and prisoner rights groups I joined, I used to get threats from anonymous email accounts about induced cancer often. While innocent men like Troy Davis and Geronimo ji-Ja (Pratt) are punished for crimes they did not do, criminals walk among us and some preside over us. We invite your prayers and support.
PARAGRAPH 50 --- Corrupt forces also took over my online advocacy group at Care2, ASSISTANCE TO THE INCARCERATED MENTALLY ILL, and made it very hard for me to publish anything there. Posts that did publish were quickly removed by CoIntelPro. Over half of America's 2.3 million inmates are mentally ill, so our advocacy to decriminalize mental illness is unwelcome. Many posts are deleted, especially those protesting wrongful convictions, capital punishment, Tasers, restraint chairs, and discussion items regarding the abuse and murders of mental patients (please see the link below my signature). See websites at subnumbers 1 through 20 immediately below this paragraph. Exposure is the enemy of Nazism, which is why book-burning was used by Nazi Germany to restrict information. Today's equivalent is Internet censorship. To view a few of our hundreds of videos capturing real-time cyberstalking to prevent open disclosure and justice after my handicapped brother's secret government murder and limit the effectiveness of my advocacy to help other victims in the injustice system, visit my YouTube channel jkempp703 - http://www.youtube.com/user/jkempp703 - Some videos I loaded are still there although CoIntelPro stole some. More links related to the subject of Johnnie Cochran's Cointelpro Murder Theory and prevention of rights declared by the U.S. Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are below.
PARAGRAPH 51. COINTELPRO INITIALLY PREVENTED MY VIDEO UPLOAD TO THIS ARTICLE. I WILL NOT BE THEIR SLAVE OR STAND MOOT WHILE THEY CONTINUE TO DEFRAUD OTHER PEOPLE, SO THERE IS 24/7 SURVEILLANCE ON MY MOVEMENTS AND MY INTERNET INPUT. MY LORD SAID WHENEVER HIS PEOPLE BATTLE SATAN, THE BATTLE IS HIS. SEE THE BLOG INDEX ON YOUR LEFT AT FREESPEAKBLOG FOR MORE SEGMENTS OF JESUS CHRIST vs. COINTELPRO. See some of my censorship videos at http://youtube.com/jkempp703
PARAGRAPH 52. -- UPDATE (July 2013) --- We now know, thanks to a whistle blower named Edward Snowden, that the entire nation, and not the Neals only, are under constant surveillance via the National Security Agency (NSA), which has full access to phone calls, emails and other Internet input, including input in social networks, etc., worldwide. We also learned recently that every piece of U.S. Mail is scanned. Mary Neal's readers should not be as surprised at the government's invasion of privacy as the rest of the world. Some day, an NSA whistle blower may also reveal the Nazi censorship that is done by the secret censorship team. More targeted individuals are publishing information about the gangstalking program than when I originally published this article, also. Persecution against my relatives and this writer continue. Recent crimes include a home burglary during which the only things stolen were boxes containing our original Neals v. Cochran Firm records and evidence we planned to present to a jury, ongoing computer and telephone censorship, retaliatory criminal prosecution, a sexual assault and possible murder attempt on Hattie Neal, at age 90. Stalkers were even moved into some of the homes near mine after I stopped driving to avoid being followed.
PARAGRAPH 53 --- The Cochran Firm continues to defraud its own attorneys and partners, law firms that it partners with on certain cases, and, of course, its own clients. See a partial list of lawsuits against The Cochran Firm at an article in this FreeSpeakBlog called "Beware of Treacherous Lawyers - The Cochran Firm."
PARAGRAPH 54 --- The Cochran Firm seems to be protected from paying damages to most of the plaintiffs who sue it. Some of its attorneys have been disbarred, but not nearly enough. None of the plaintiffs' lawsuits went before a jury as far as I know; and the media refuses to report most of the legal actions brought against the CoIntelPro firm. Public disclosure would, of course, erode the firm's usefulness to government entities and large corporations that rely on its services as frauds. (Please notify this writer if The Cochran Firm actually files suite for the wrongful death of Chavis Carter in Arkansas and takes the case before a jury.) Unfortunately, many other mentally and physically disabled Americans have been killed in extrajudicial violence since Larry's secret arrest and murder in 2003, and Africans in America, like young Trayvon Martin, continue to be killed without censure. In fact, extrajudicial assassinations and incarceration without trials were made the law of the land - for all Americans. I anticipated this development after apathy and persecution followed my disclosure about my brother's murder and The Cochran Firm fraud.
PARAGRAPH 55 --- When I first wrote about being targeted for using free speech rights in 2008, it seemed incredible to some people. Since IRS recently admitted targeting Tea Party members, such actions are no longer hard to believe. When immoral people are ordered by their superiors to disobey man's law and God's, they have no reservations about doing so. If caught, wrongdoers feel justified and say they were "just following orders." Therefore, lawlessness prevails and will continue to spread throughout the world. God said He will allow whatever we allow (Matt. 18:18).
PARAGRAPH 56 -- Pray for God to protect my family and me. I continue to exercise my human right to free speech to help other people to expose and oppose the wrongful incarcerations and murders of their mentally disabled relatives as director of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill, and that is dangerous. Just as former president Jimmy Carter said, "America No Longer Has a Functioning Democracy." http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/17/jimmy-carter-america-no-longer-has-a-functioning-democracy/
PARAGRAPH 57 --- Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. ~Proverbs 31:8-9
PARAGRAPH 58 --- Introduction repeated: This article contains 60 numbered paragraphs, 35 links, 1 embedded video. Be sure to hear the NPR interview with former Cochran Firm lawyer Shawn Chapman-Holley at link 13, under Paragraph 50. I often list contents because hackers can render parts of blogs invisible and still may do so even with the numbers. A 2013 update is at paragraphs 52-55, which was added after Edward Snowden revealed that CoIntelPro simply changed names. We now have the National Security Agency (NSA).
PARAGRAPH 59 --- UPDATE APRIL 2015 --- It is hard to believe, but my family is still being denied any information or records related to the secret arrest and murder of my mentally, physically disabled brother. The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm continues to defraud African Americans throughout the country to "keep wealth out of black hands," a CoIntelPro objective (i.e., the Firm only demanded $75k for the police shooting of John Crawford, III in a Walmart in Ohio). I now know that America has a long history in eugenics, which is the systematic elimination of people who are African Americans, poor whites, and the mentally ill of all races, and keeping the sexes apart through mass incarceration replaced enforced sterilization to deter population growth among people who elitists consider "undersirables." Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI) is preparing to take the USA before the United Nations in International Court to win restitution for up to 100 claimants alleging negligence, police brutality, prisoner torture, and wrongful death of citizens and immigrants with acute mental illness like Larry Neal had. My home has literally been surrounded with citizens police, and my phones and computers continue to suffer attacks. But as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said when attacked by illegal injunctions, dogs and water hoses, and angry, armed police, "We're going on."
The photo is of my brother, Larry Neal, a handicapped American who was secretly arrested and returned to his family as a naked corpse after 18 days with records and accountability denied. That led to my becoming "America's Most Censored: Mary Neal." See this link http://goo.gl/aELp3 - I founded and direct Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI"), advocating for 1.25 million inmates who are wrongly and cruelly imprisoned rather than treated for their mental dysfunctions. I love God and the IDEA of America - a melting pot. Many hard lumps remain in the custard today. AIMI members work to have civil and human rights applied to all, including the mentally ill. We oppose wrongful convictions, prison profiteering, excessive sentencing, police brutality, capital punishment, and inequities in application of the law due to racial and economic disparities. We also oppose crime and recognize crime as being violations against human rights and property rights. Imprisonment is often warranted, but never brutality, torture, or death. We advocate love. The need is for America to "be true to what she said on paper" (MLK).
