This experience so far only proves my long held belief that grand juries are simply outdated tools used by the federal government to harass and disrupt political opponents and activists in fishing expeditions. Without committing a federal crime, and after exhaustive testimony at a trial several years ago, I am again ripped from my life by a vindictive and politically- motivated investigation and prosecution. The way I am being treated proves what a corrupt and abusive tool the grand jury truly is. With each passing day my disappointment and frustration grow, but so too do my commitments to doing the right thing and continuing to refuse to submit. My decision not to testify before grand juries is rooted in the study of history and philosophical principles. Many times in this nation’s history, people who speak out or express dissent against the government face disproportionate repression. One of the most common tools to silence dissent, the grand jury, attempts to sow distrust within activists’ organizations and communities through secrecy and compelling exhaustive and redundant testimony aimed at identifying other members of that community. I believe my principles allow me to focus on helping others, and to challenge the use of power to coerce or manipulate people. Such coercive power forms what I define as “violence,” and the “threat of violence” which powerful institutions attempt to accumulate to obtain more power. This justifies my theory that participating in this investigation functions simply to abuse the justice system for political ends. I believe this grand jury seeks to undermine the integrity of public discourse with the aim of punishing those who expose any serious, ongoing, and systemic abuses of power by this government, as well as the rest of the international community. Therefore, participating in this fishing expedition - which potentially exposes other innocent people to the grand jury process - would constitute an unjustifiable and unethical action. I am not willing to compromise for my own physical benefit. Jail, and prison, exist as an archaic institution hiding the basest stream of dehumanizing and humiliating behaviors by the government. I wish to return home. I want to return to my work — writing, speaking, consulting, and teaching. I can either go to jail or betray my principles. The latter exists as a much worse prison than the government can construct. I digress a bit - but the point is, I’m not going to change my mind. Not now, not ever. So be it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxcJW6bs5os https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da9UwkveOqs
