My arrest by the FBI for writing a petition, clueless professors.
The genesis of this Analysis - my 1999 arrest for writing a petition
I did not expect that I would ever in this country be arrested for writing a petition, but that is what happened to me on 14 May 1999 at my farm in Illinois. FBI agent Timothy Eley and LaSalle County, Illinois, Sheriff Tom Templeton and 3 other armed men were rummaging through my living room and kitchen when my brother Jerry Palaschak and I arrived home from the tractor store at about noon.
I did not ever expect be called to defend myself or anybody for having written a petition, but that is exactly what happened to me in 1999. On 24 September 1999 a jury of 12 of my peers took only 2 hours to unanimously vote me not guilty of the charges. I filed suits in many courts to protest my arrest but the judges all ignored their oath to uphold the 1st amendment. I am proceeding against Agent Timothy Eley and others in Federal Court in Los Angeles.
On my business cards in 1975 were the words of Thomas Jefferson: "The price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance." How true are those words! In 1997 I wrote a petition for my friend Melvin Looser in California. In 1999 I was arrested on my farm in Illinois by the FBI for having written this petition for Melvin Looser. I was held on a bail of $1/ 4 million. I spent 4 months in jail. During that time I reviewed the cases that are listed in this brief. I argued my case before a jury of 12 (plus 2 alternates) which took only 2 hours to deliberate and unanimously vote me not guilty.
"Freedom of expression embraces more than the right of an individual to speak his mind. It includes also his right to advocate and his right to join with his fellows in an effort to make that advocacy effective." - NAACP v Button (1963) 9 L Ed 415 at 429 citing Thomas v Collins 89 L Ed 430, NAACP v Alabama 2 L Ed 1488, Bates v Little Rock 4 L Ed 480.
Court decisions clearly hold that the right to petition includes the right to petition all 3 branches of governments - legislative, executive, and judicial. Oppressive bar rules prompted the bar to send me a letter when I criticized a judge for setting an extremely high bail in the Rick James (She's a SuperFreak, SuperFreak, This girl is funky) case. I don't know if I even replied but I knew then that the 1st amendment protected me. It was only recently that I found the court decision that says so - and I don't recall it now.

The California Bar has attempted to abridge our right to speak and write
The state bar act violates the first amendment. The bar was established in 1927. Prior to 1927 lawyers had more freedom.
Our Law Schools haven't a clue about the bar's oppression because they have some pathetically weak faux professors.
Somebody should have challenged the state bar act in ethics class - but our students are weak and the teachers are weaker. I see now that the word "ethics" is an instrument of oppression that the bar uses to deceive the public into accepting their dogma which is merely the age old oppression of the individual by the group.
Best examples of weak, pathetic faux professors here in Ventura:
#1 Steve Pell. He took the job to make friends and make money. His brain is as dull as his monotone voice.
#2 Mike from Steve Pell's office. An incredibly dull, weak person. Mike copies my advertising script incidentally.
#3 Judge Art Gutierrez. Although the bar exam is based on federal rules of evidence Gutierrez taught the state rules because he obviously did not know the federal rules. Now he is a judge because they needed a Mexican on the Ventura bench. He was also a public defender. He sought 3 positions where brilliance is not required. He says that he was a clerk in a liquor store before law school. He is the epitome of the Peter Principle and an example of the stupidity of affirmative action hiring.
