I agree with your assessment.  But, of the many mistakes they made,
   the big one is that they underestimated my ability to observe and
   deduce what was going on at the time.  Shortly after the time I was
   first arrested in mid-April 1997, I concluded that they must have been
   spying on me from 7302 Corregidor.  I had a right to have any such
   evidence admitted in court, and they couldn't allow that to happen.
   They had to exercise the collusion of corrupt lawyer Avenia to see that
   stopped.  Then, when I continued to demand evidence in July 1998, they
   had to further use the next corrupt lawyer, Judith Mandel, to ensure
   that I could not have evidence entered into the record.  Then, when I
   demanded the appeal that I didn't know I already had (99-30210) they
   had to employ yet another corrupt lawyer, Jonathan Solovy, to continue
   to conceal facts from me.  Etc.  It was an ongoing battle that still
   isn't over, and won't be over until I have completely won.
         A major place in the "Hall of Shame" must go to Declan McCullagh,
   who failed and refused to work with me to expose this material in 2001
   and 2002.  Indeed, I sent a "visitor's form" to him about March 2002,
   as he said he was visiting San Francisco for some event, and he said
   that he would visit me at Atwater California.  (USP Atwater).  In fact,
   he lied to me:  Weeks later, when he  hadn't shown up, I called him and
   he said he couldn't find the time to visit.  But I pointed out that in
   order for him to visit me, he would have had to fill out and mail in
   the visitor's form at least two weeks prior to the visit.  In other
   words, by failing to fill out the form, that proved that he didn't
   intend to visit me at all:  Therefore, his claim that he "couldn't find
   the time to visit" wasn't really true.  At THAT point, he got really
   upset!  He didn't respond to any of my letters after that.
         Another place in the "Hall of Shame" should go to a "60 Minutes"
   producer named Adam Ciralsky.  (He was ex-CIA in 1999, and in fact had
   a lawsuit against the CIA for religious discrimination
   [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Ciralsky   ).  Ciralsky sent me an
   Express Mail letter in December 2000, claiming to want to interview me
   on video.  I smelled a rat, and it turned out I was right.  He tried to
   lure me by saying that Mike Wallace wanted to talk to me.  Ciralsky's
   downfall was the fact that I had been watching "60 Minutes", on and
   off, since its beginning in 1970.  I knew, from his failure to ask
   questions, that his only interest in getting video was to do a sabotage
   piece on me.  I took advantage of the fact that Seatac FDC had a policy
   apparently denying video media visits, and basically told Ciralsky,
   "Put as many questions as you'd like on paper; I will answer all of
   them".   That would appear to be a very friendly position on my part,
   right?  Not the typical hard-to-interview behavior usually displayed by
   the 'bad guys' when '60 Minutes' cameramen drop by.    But, think about
   it:  If they had put such questions on paper, that would have been
   analogous to giving them a 'Rorshach test':  That would have exposed
   the position from which they were coming.  I wanted to take advantage
   of this written communication to, in effect, force them to actually
   investigate the story, rather than put on a hit-piece.  Turns out that
   I never got as many as a single question from Ciralsky!

   Jim, correct me if i am wrong, what happened sounds like
   a criminal or conspiratorial prosecution occurring outside or
   beyond known law, a secret operation perhaps, that was a
   precursor to rolling-out this type of prosecution program at
   the larger scale in the present day, perhaps tied into NSA
   surveillance of populations- a canary in coalmine situation;
   same tactics, more empowered, nothing to stop it legally,
   and removing dissidents and unwanted viewpoints bit by bit
   i think you said this already though wanted to reiterate it
   in the expanded context, to see if it is an accurate summary
   (the mental illness trap ubiquitous, if not own families turning
   on children or each other, then teachers on students, etc.
   a different approach to forced censorship, silencing, and of
   reeducation, retraining, reprogramming. the perfect setup
   for takedown in unaccounted for parameters. labeled crazy
   without recourse to logically reason viewpoints: doomed.)
