Dear Senator Coburn,
Thank you very much for your reply. I am grateful to have both attracted your attention and been encouraged. Oklahoma State officials ignore my entreaties, probably because I can't vote; they consider me a nonentity, an( thus I get no representation despite my retaining my citizenship. Also, the prison officials delayed delivery of your 11-6-07 letter until last night, ostensibly because it did not have my number on it. State-level officials, I suspect, also avoid my case because it is obviously a conviction obtained by fraud, similar to the cases of Officers Ramos and Compean.
The problem with the law system that allows the prosecutor-judge teams to make totally subjective decisions on what the jurors are permitted to know. They work together toward conviction, which benefits them, and against acquittal, which hurts their careers as acquittal is taken as a waste of time, effort and money. The end result is a bias toward concealment of contrary evidence and a bias toward conviction, whether conscious or subliminal, on the parts of all officials involved in obtaining convictions.
Appeals judges likewise have a conviction-preserving bias, which is part of the reason why Columbia University Professor James Liebman uncovered a seven percent false-positive rate among death row prisoners in his 2000 study "...A Broken System", and why Illinois Gov. Ryan shut off his state's death machine after it was uncovered to be no more than 50% accurate through DNA technology.
The judiciary fixed this concealment of evidence problem as best they could 44 years ago in Brad y v MD 373 US 83 (1963). Mere case "law", however, is a very poor substitute for actual statute because it is wide open to creative interpretation by appeals judges, who have this conviction preserving bias. (NO one likes to have their work undone.)
A much better fix would be a federal statute stating Brady vs MD findings and revoking all the caselaw exceptions and time limits added to it later. Brady told prosecutors to volunteer to the defense all exculpatory evidence, A statute to the findings in Brady would re-establish justice and be much harder to circumvent than verbose, nebulous, confusing, often conflicting, serial caselaw opinions.
Senator Coburn, I wrote you precisely because you are not an attorney. Legal professionals all run away from my case at top speed, they all hide their decisions about it in "unpublished" opinions, and they STOLE my escape trial to prevent me from using it as a public forum to expose police records of the frauds used to obtain conviction. Now the FBI has uncensored proof of their conspiracy to prevent the killer's blood from being analyzed. These records, (some enclosed) now prove that the prosecutor deliberately lied to jurors to deceive them into falsely thinking that only one blood sample, (instead of the nine) was collected, and that it was too small to type.
I also wrote you because you already know something about how legal professionals are: they can justify their maintaining a legal practice, yet somehow make it appear wrong for you to maintain a much more important, beneficial and altruistic medical practice.
And, legal professionals despise my next proposal.
You know of functional magnetic resonance imaging brain scanning lie detection. It will eventually improve the administration of justice as much or more than did DNA technology when it finally forced its way into court rooms.
FMRI lie detection is now 90 to 95 percent accurate. The lawyers are fighting tooth and claw to prevent a small fraction of the statistically proven 435,000 innocents in American prisons from desperately trying to obtain our right to this technology, primarily under the "redress of grievances " clause of the Constitution.
We feel we are owed this when we prove deliberate theft of innocence proving evidence by the state. This system-wide problem needs legislative law to fix the flaw for everyone, and it short circuits the process when pardons are given instead of repairs. Persons with no money or influence depend upon the powerful falling in these same traps. E.g, thanks to Pattie Hearst, we got actual speedy trials with an actual time limit, rather than a judge's smug declaration that we had one. Thanks to O. J. Simpson, police manufacture of evidence was exposed and lessened considerably. Thanks to Rodney King, dash cameras protect motorists. Thanks to DNA, fewer innocents die in prisons and are executed. Thanks to Officers Ramos and Compean, and you, evidence chicanery can finally be codified into law rather than suffer capricious interpretation by individual judges as exceptions to Brady v MD.
And, hopefully, you can help us innocents get modern scientific FMRI lie detection technology, already proven accurate by science, past recalcitrant judges to not just free the innocent, but to capture the culprit. (The killer in my case is easily found in police and prison records, were they accessible.) Please get us our right to FMRI,
I hope I have not taken up too much of your time, and I hope this is sufficient to obtain your support. They will not let us access typewriters to address officials, and my hand cramps from writing. Please help. If it weren't for Statesmen like you, Patrick Leahy and others, many of us would have simply hung ourselves, so hopeless is it to try and get reason and/or fairness from the legal monolith.
(The following is a letter from Senator Tom Coburn, addressed to James)
Dear Mr. Bauhaus,
Thank you for writing me again regarding reforming the Oklahoma judiciary system. I welcome the opportunity to respond to your concern,.
I am sorry your Oklahoma officials did not respond to your inquiry. I cannot speak for their offices, but I make it a point to personally read all incoming correspondence and respond to it in a timely fashion. I thank you for recognizing my good faith effort in this area.
I understand your desire for me to make calls on your behalf to several Oklahoma officials and judges. but. in all sincerity, I cannot. My hands are tied on this issue no matter how much I would like to help. Unfortunately, the Senate Ethics Rules prohibit Senators and their staff from providing constituents with legal advice, particularly when it comes to ongoing litigation that is before a court a cases that are ripe for appeal.
With regard to legislation to reign in and reform the judiciary, I stand with you on this issue. However, at the state level, I have no jurisdiction to enact any legislation in Oklahoma. Again, I would refer you to those same local officials I provided in my last correspondence. But on the federal level, I have been a champion on this issue.
Like you, I am interested in returning all branches of government to their original roles as pronounced in the Constitution and intended by our Founding Fathers. I generally supper( restricting the jurisdiction of federal courts, Congress clearly has constitutional authority to define and limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts. Article III, Section 1, gives Congress the power to create all lower courts. Consequently, those courts are subject to Congressional review. Furthermore, Article III, Section 2, Clause 2 states that the Supreme Court shall have jurisdiction in all cases relating to Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and disputes between states, but that in all other cases the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, "with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make:" I believe Congress' ability to limit the courts is not being fully utilized. If Congress acted on this authority, it would send a message to federal judges that Americans will not tolerate decisions that are not rooted in the original meaning of the Constitution.
Again, thank you for your detailed letter. As a strict interpreter of the Constitution, I stand with you in wanting to restrain the both the state and federal judiciary from wrestling away I liberty from the American people. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to write again.
(This is the letter James wrote in response)
Dear Doctor Coburn,
Thank you very much for reading and replying to my letters. This is more than I usually obtain from elected officials in my 36 year long career of trying to remove from my good name the lies of only three corrupt cops and one crooked prosecutor, all long since disgraced, and the actual killer convicted. The fact that you made such a comprehensive reply that took much thoughtful time and effort somewhat relieves the slight sting of my disappointment.
Disappointment is a constant feature among persons branded "criminal". We are daily assaulted with the irony of public servants in charge of specific matters telling us how their hands are somehow tied from affecting these same, exact matters. Please forgive my impertinence in reminding you that I asked for no legal advice, no appeals are pending, and all appeals are long "exhausted" (refused), which is exactly why I bother to try and get a much advertised, yet wildly overrated, and so far, mythical, "Check and Balance" on the judges from you legislators. You knew this from my detailed explanation in my letters and net documents, and your attempt to use this notion to excuse yourself from your duty is disingenuous and exactly like the common and abhorrent judges' tactic of switching the parameters to fit the preconceived conclusion E.g, see "En Banc, "Rule 60 R", Mandamus", etc, on www.jamesbauhaus.org.) My guess is that I would have fared better if I had written McCain and had envelopes of cash and the surname "Keating".
Your average constituent would be briefly appalled to learn that public officials have set up "Ethics Commissions" that somehow prevent them from acting ethically, such as by standing up, forcing the prosecution of a known killer and releasing the innocent, forced, through flagrant, obvious fraud, to take his place in prison decades ago. I, however, have experience enough to expect such ridiculous nonsense. E.g, writing the OK Health Department, US Civil Rights Commission, OK Attorney General, ACLU, Rep. Don Armes, Sen. Don Barrington and countless others over 37 years several times trying to fix multiple, recurring, flagrant malpractice, ("Malpractice as a Goal"), such as fomenting respiratory disease epidemics by routinely locking 34-plus captives in a 10 x10 foot cage, forcing a cancer-causing diet and gouging $45(!) for a pound of salt, resulted in only two replies, both excusing their regulatory function with a lame pretense, and, outrageously, referring us and the letters back to the same, exact persons perpetrating these atrocities, and refusing to fix them, apparently to ensure retaliation. The US Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice is the worst offender in this, apparently having no function at all other than to draw big money and reply to some letters, and then with only anonymous, unsigned excuses and non-sequiturs. This is analogous to having to appeal to hungry sharks to try and get them to ask the piranhas to stop eating us. Another ironic example is the guards here, who, due to long-term, close, daily contact, know us better than most anyone. Occasionally they would write good reviews of us for us to tender to the parole board. Not anymore: Secretive, anonymous officials decreed an end to this through use of policy statements, avoiding both reasonable debate with those affected and dodging the application of facts or simple logic. Apparently govt thinks that the parole board should evaluate captives based solely on disparagement from parties who profit from the conviction and caging industries, carefully expunging any praises, no matter how well deserved. Consequently, the electorate no longer expects much of anything positive or logical from govt, and this is why we have the adage, "There is nothing a public servant abhors more than serving the public."
Also ironic and illustrative of the true nature of govt is its inability to cure its addiction to kidnapping, unspeakable torture and murder, even while shrieking "Human Rights!" to other nations out of the opposite side of its mouth.
Years ago, State Senator James R. Jones would not suffer his hands to be tied. My mother cornered him in church, and he motivated attorney Ed Parks to relay to me a short letter on the impossibility of obtaining justice. Merely the appearance of inquiry caused Warden Wells to send his wife to investigate. They were so moral and ethical that they threw away their lucrative govt jobs rather than obey a bloodthirsty judge's order to murder a captive. Their efforts may have seemed ineffectual and doomed to failure in the face of a powerful, unsupervised, corrupt city apparatchik, but led to the killer's unmasking.
Even more progress was made when I finally got tired of the inane, mealy-mouthed "legal" balderdash and untied my own hands. I crawled out of the state's insufferable torture, harassment and slow-death facility on my belly in the mud, rain and cowshit. I endured years of filth, deprivation and hardship to eventually rip the facts out of the govt's vaults and rub them into the faces of the crooked officials who deliberately helped their pal, drug-snitch and killer, escape punishment. All my efforts were for nothing however, because new generations of corrupt officials had taken over for the original varlots. They, too, chose to coddle the killer and incarcerate the innocent, using new, improved, legal frauds. My honesty and integrity was no match for their perfidy and culture of cronyism. Instead of doing their job and duty to correct injustice and prosecute the criminal I had brought them, they chose to compound the crimes of "Officers" McCullough, Peyton and Johnson and prosecutor Truster by perpetrating new crimes to pave over the old ones. The top criminal, Judge Steven Taylor, who cooked up the scheme to prevent justice by depriving me of my lawful escape trial, was actually rewarded for this with appointment to the state's Supreme Court: (See Pittsburg county transcript F-85-121 and exhibits A-V) and 1 - 12. )
It is extremely nauseating to watch loyalty to a profession and its disreputable clique being tendered as the law and justice, but this is exactly what is occurring. Even with the state's boot on my neck and the obstacles of petty officials arrayed against me. I was able to rise from refugee to relative prosperity. Despite all the govt agencies chasing me and hamstringing me, I didn't do the logical thing and leave this country to the wastrels and Gluttons Of Privilege and Power who are feeding on it and destroying it. Instead, I rose above it and still work hard toward forcing govt to progress. My readers attest to this.
More good news is that decades of misrule, mismanagement and casual, open-air graft and corruption has finally turned its victims into the seats of power. Soon over 150 federal judge seats may be filled by President Obama with persons who know oppression rather than with the usual persons who facilitate and create oppression, injustice, etc. It is my sincere hope that you, in your positions on the judiciary, human rights and law committees, assist this process, or at least allow it to proceed unhindered. For a brief moment in political time America is going to slow, perhaps even mostly stop, being a mass-murder nation. The pendulum is trying to swing away from nation-robbery, mega-looting and super-criminals. We will be receiving a small quantity of relief until the star-chamber, shadow-govt decides differently.
Obviously we disenfranchised slaves (and the working class) are not represented, else we would not be regularly locked 34 to a toilet-sized cage, or forced to create and suffer infectious and respiratory epidemics without treatment, or forced to die of alimentary cancers caused by diets overloaded with carcinogen-laced (long shelflife, designer) scrap "meats" or forced to pay $45 per pound for salt or otherwise unconscionably gouged, raped, abused, maimed and molested in countless, routine ways.
Most of us deserve some or all of our consistently exorbitant sentences. NONE of us deserve these extra malicious and profit-motivated extortion and exploitations. Since authority can't seem to bring itself to police these abuses, morality and "Noblesse Oblige" obligates authority to let its victims move on to more civilized nations. I could be in Mozambique setting up cell towers. Instead, I am forced to rot in your prison torture Hellholes to no higher purpose than to provide a taxpayer subsidy to a blind-trust, kickback corporation and encouragement for numbskulls to vote republican simply because they have been given high-pay, low-work jobs for life.
Govt was once thought to be by and for the people. Now govt functions in the Roman style: to serve itself and excuse itself from its primary function. Because no powerful person possesses the moral fiber and wherewithal to even verbally chastise his fellow public servants when presented with proof of their perpetrating crimes in office, public servants are encouraged to perpetrate crimes in office, or politely turn their heads. This being so, there is now an important race that we of the working class may possibly win: There are the Gluttons Of Privilege and Power racing to corrupt President Obama and make him their own, and there are the victims of the GOPP racing to prevent this and encourage him to become a "Reverse Sonny Bush". You don't have to guess which side is going to try to pretend to "rehabilitate" itself by publicly insinuating itself into this popular perfect storm for the purpose of stealthily hijacking it to their nefarious goals of more international scaremongering, incitation, nation-robbery, tax-herd larceny and mass torture-murder/"war"(attacks).
There is one adage that I will be popularizing. It is the fact that "Nothing so upholds the law as punishment of persons whose rank is as great as their crimes."
As everyone knows of me, I am all for upholding the law!
Thank you very much for reading this. I hope it renewed some of the feedback loops that slipped off during your transformation from respected doctor to mere politician. Thankfully for me, your transformation is not yet complete: e.g, judges do not suffer even to read their mail. They have highly paid flunkies scan it for threats, then trash it without absorbing any feedback at all. This is how American govt got so sorry that reprehensible officials such as Bush/Cheney/Rummry became common enough to cause the current mild social upheaval. President Kennedy wisely said. "Politicians who make change impossible make revolution inevitable" which is why his own govt blew him away. (Try to find the other half of the Zapruder film that shows the second sniper or the piece of his skull that blew back onto the trunk of the car. The mighty gov-media alliance has almost destroyed all the evidence over the passing decades.)
Sitting safely, silently on the sidelines is a fine strategy that guarantees a long, unremarkable, uneventful tenure. No one even notices they who sit idly by and watch as history is made by others. Good luck to you in this.
P.S. Also, can you tell me what the difference is between making calls for an imprisoned innocent and making calls for corporate "lobbyists"? One requires morality and principle; the other requires secrecy and shamelessness.
More irony is that Sen. Stevens can't vote, but he CAN, apparently, be a senator and be re-elected, if enough dupes go for this. What arrogance: Despite this, you are still in the top 4 of 535. I wish you could have Inhofe's job too!
And, let me give you an example why politicians are so reviled. Your media tools sugarcoat this by informing us that "Congress has an approval rating of 14%!" This is really an 86% revulsion rate. Why? Maybe it is because of decades of torture in McAlester that no victim can fix, and that no official wants to fix I.e. in 2000 I found that sadistic, lazy guards regularly torture "F" cellhouse victims with either a scalding hot or freezing cold shower, to induce them to choose no shower at all. (see "Priscrat Shower Tricks", "US DOJ Conspires with Priscrats" and "Crisp Stymies Civil Rights Lawyers 25 Years:" These McGuards have a FETISH about shower torture because it drastically cuts down on their "work" when they condition their victims to "bathe" in the cage with a damp washcloth in a tiny sink that only dribbles water when you keep your hand pressing the button. I made a career out of trying to get humane treatment here. Another innocent, in 1988, complained mightily of this too. Finally, a world-renowned author, John Grisham, noted this casual torture in his million-seller book, "The Innocent Men". (p. 193).
Every one of hundreds of lawyers, judges, Attorney Generals, Wardens, politicians, bureaucrats, regulatory and civil rights agencies, etc, were a complete waste to write
to despite them all being supposedly fine, upstanding "men" with plenty of flag-proud patriotism and church "morals". They usually ignored our cries. If one deigned to answer, it was to vend a lame excuse, or a taunt (Cong. Russ Roach, whose name is fitting of his actions, taunted us, as did the US DOJ civ. rights div.). They were all supposedly powerless to call down the guards, or secretly enjoyed our cries of pain and anguish, particularly the anonymous govt bureaucrats. All their hands were tied when it came to suggesting that some low-life, sadistic guards change their procedure and stop torturing us. However "tied" their hands really were, though, they had no trouble at all grasping envelopes full of cash under the table from private prison "lobbyists" or approving their self-written "legislation" with machine-gun rapidity.
And they call ME a damned criminal:
Merry Christmas: I hope your happiness with your family is inversely proportionalto the happiness I had without mine for the past 37 years:
