Dear Sir or Ms,

These Patriot Act-happy days are very dangerous for law-abiding citizens too, as govt has steadily morphed into an increasingly fascist state that can drag anyone off to a cage for torture and imprisonment til death. No one is safe, and it is common; Fully 7% of all persons on American death rows have been DNA-proven to be completely innocent, (see, "Death Penalty Study of Columbia University" on www(dot)jamesbauhaus(dot)org). Worse, Illinois' death machine was shut down when DNA proved it was only 50% "accurate". Worse still, an 12-98, page 31 issue of Scientific American noted that, since 1904-1974, U. S. death penalty prosecutions resulted in the execution of 23 innocents. So arrogant are these legal officials that, rather than be proven to have executed an innocent man, a southern judge ordered the DNA destroyed rather than tested, (Mr- Barry Scheck's Innocence Project failed to get this O'Dell case DNA tested despite numerous appeals and being right to insist on the fact that knowledge of the quality of judicial processes is much better than letting the perpetrators of "justice" keep us in ignorance of their worth).

If we look back, we find that law officials have been quietly revoking our constitutional rights for 230 years. A landmark onslaught against citizens' rights was Clinton's 1996 Accelerated Death Penalty and Habeas Corpus Time Limit Act. This anti-citizen legislation was written at the urging of activist judges who were seeking to escape much of their workload by making their two most despised tasks diminish precipitously. Persons fighting for their lives simply would not accept death and kept appealing on the many injustices used to convict them. Also, thousands of other captives had managed to read the Supreme Law of the Land while languishing in prison and learned how clever police and cunning prosecutors had trampled their rights--rights so subtle, in many cases, that only lawyers knew they existed. They also learned that prosecutors had treated them VERY unfairly in the courtrooms without them even realizing it at the time. Only after it was far too late did they learn that conviction is a mass-production affair, like skilled corporate ranchers herding, prodding, shocking, then beating their animals down the chutes for milking, castration or harvest, taking maximum advantage of their victims' ignorance of the process. It simply is not fair, and, the deeper you look into it, the more that

this hideous monster becomes readily apparent: (See. Innocent's Guide to Avoiding False Conviction", "Cop Culture and Training", "The Lawswindle of Andrea Yeats" et al.) After reading the actual law and comparing it to the 230 years of cunning addendas, corollaries, adjuncts, modifications, abortions and swindles added to it by lawyers, these victims became outraged enough to try and obtain retroactive, belated fairness that was promised through the appeals process.

Even though Clinton's law served to cause the constitution and citizens' rights to shut off abruptly like a burned-out light bulb after one year of the police and prosecutors successful concealment of evidence or rights,

there were still too many captives who simply WOULD NOT accept cage "life" quietly. (Also, judges seemed to forget that a primary default function of their appeals process is to give false hope to the victims of judicial and police/prosecutor abuse until they adapted to the fact that their fate was to suffer long term captivity) So judges and lawyers again took their needs to the legislators and got the Prisoner Litigation Shut-Off Act. this law was designed to stop lawsuits by prisoners wanting edible food, healthful conditions such as the space to exercize, minimum standards of humane treatment, less abuse/harassment, the right to read, write and communicate as normal persons will and many other wants that ordinary citizens take for granted Most recently, judges have asked for and gotten (or made for themselves), laws, or rules that are commonly mistaken for laws, that prevent re-hearings, en banc hearings and appeals to the Supreme Court. Re-hearings are a necessary right due to the standard practice of judges engarbling the facts in such a way as to support their agenda, which is to preserve convictions, then ruling that the sentence is justified. This denial us usually buried with other "unpublished" opinions, which is one method of concealing the injustice from public view. The victim is sent a copy of the judge's bogus, unfair ruling that depends on garbled, semantical mal-interpretations and is outraged that judges do this AND get away with such fraudulent reasoning, "logic" and prevarications. He writes ANOTHER appeal, attempting to correct what he must assume is an honest mistake ("error"). He finds that it is not any error at all, but that it is a standard practice of ALL judges to give you ONE chance to make a convincing case AND cut off all routes that judges use to indulge their conviction-preserving biases. This is, of course, an impossible task, for there is ALWAYS an escape hatch or trap door of semantical, legal loopholes through which conviction and sentence can be preserved. Proof is all over the daily news that police, prosecutors and judges DO NOT change their minds when faced with the undeniable fact of

DNA-proven innocence. What we see instead is their searching about for ways to justify their actions, no matter what. The legal establishment never admits wrongs, only "errors", if pressed. Mostly they retreat into the fog of undisprovability by claiming, "He's not innocent! he was 'involved' in some fashion, so he's _still guilty!" Similarly, no appeals judge will change his ruling.

En banc hearings are even more necessary than re-hearings, because here is a real, though very slight, chance to find nine or twelve honest judges to over rule a dishonest ruling by one (or three) judges. Unfortunately, judges tend to rule together. In one rare instance when the "banc" of judges ruled against the other judge, it was to curttail an expansive ruling, (see "Apprendi"). The tendency of judges is to ever narrow the scope of their rulings that would otherwise expand freedom and rights to too many, and to enlarge the scope of rulings that pinch off the rights of others. They make a farce of the constitutional prohibition of ex post facto laws by making their favored laws "retro-active". To help safeguard themselves and their bogus rulings, the circuit judges ordered from the legislators an exemption from having their criminal rulings reviewed by the Supreme Court. In this efficient way they cut off appeals from their rulings, making the circuit judges the final stop in the appeals process, with no supervision and no quality control. They use the old method, of obfuscation, to revoke the rule (60 B) that proports to provide for quality control. My own case illusrates these points very well. For detailed analysis of these too-common legal tactics, see "PCR", exhibits 1-5, B and C, "OCCA", "10th circuit", "en banc", "rule 60 B" and "Judicial Corruption: Isolated Incident, or Popular Hobby?" As these legal documents readily show, indisputable facts are no obstacle to too-powerful men who are determined, for the common (privileged) good, to prop up their injustice-packed system with a false perception of infallibility.

Citizens gained a momentary respite from this tragic forced-march into their strait jackets of extra safety from criminals and crime by the advent of DNA technology. Science provided an unexpected answer to the dancing and prattling of prosecutors who use emotion and witness-steering to get the fast, permanent convictions they needed to propel them into the uppermost reaches of society. DNA, when it finally managed to fight its way into court rooms, past police, prosecutors and judges, to jurors, provided to the accusee a double hammer-blow against the unstoppable conviction machine. DNA told, beyond ANY doubt, who DIDN'T do the crime, and, it told exactly who DID do the crime. Since 1987, police and prosecutors have been caught, a minimum of 208 times, falsely convicting the indisputably innocent.

Despite desperate and mostly very successful efforts to conceal the exact causes of these false convictions, and to put them all down to rare, isolated incidents that involved mere errors and mix-ups, intelligent citizens could not miss the fact that things as complex, lengthy, laborious and lucid as convictions do not arise through mere "error". No. They are carefully crafted feats of deliberate legal engineering. they are created by many persons of several professions sharing thoughts, facts, ideas, theories and hypotheses. Out of this many-headed collaboration and bottomless pit of funding they manage, at BEST, to make "errors" enough to cost innocent persons their lives "only" seven percent of the time, (see "Death Penalty Study of Columbia University", "Death Sentences = Lawcrat Crowbars", "Actual Death Penalty Statistics" and "Executing Justice").

It gets worse: DNA proved that some death machines are not even this "accurate". In Illinois , it was proven that the death machine was no more than 50% "accurate", causing gov. Ryan to shut it down and commute every sentence (over 70 persons). Other governors were caught with the same problem of no real quality control in their conviction-generating apparatchiks. Their execution machines had to be shut down as a face-saving measure. Studies were conducted, recommendations were made. Nothing of broad substance changed except that the frauds used to create death sentences were turned to making new, less-permanant-seeming sentences: life without parole. The Ryan commission study was the most thorough, and came up with some of the best ways to slow or stop false convictions. Not one was ever implemented by any police force or prosecution apparatus.

When faced with so large a mass of undeniable proof of dishonesty within the major parts of all police departments and prosecution offices nationwide, politicians had to step in to "restore faith" in the law and justice. Their reply was the DNA Act. It threw millions of our tax dollars at the same police and prosecutor teams who were responsible for creating these false convictions. The FBI lab, caught several times being the evidence-fabrication-to-order arm of the local police, was gotten out of the business of providing lab services for state, county and city police. DNA Act funding was given for them to buy, build and staff their own evidence-handling facilities. Many of these, particularly in OK, TX, IL and VA, were swiftly caught fabricating evidence-to-order, same as had the FBI "lab". Of the token $8 million allocated for the testing of DNA to exonerate the tens of thousands of statistically-proven innocents in in prisons, clamoring for the police to give up thousands of DNA samples, primarily in rape kits, for testing, exactly zero dollars have been spent, (see p. 20, 3-08 playboy). There has been admitted that secret payments of taxpayer funds have been awarded to movie and TV production companies to put out the state's anti-drug message. Gov't got caught trying to assemble a pro-govt propaganda machine for lying to its citizens and foreigners. This was, when word of it escaped into public knowledge, shouted down as an outrage- It quickly went underground. Judging by the extreme number of movie and TV programs that glorify police, lawyers, prosecutors and judges, there is little doubt that secret govt incentives are here, too, awarded for the purpose of restoring a false faith in law and justice. The perception of police crime scene scientists on TV is needed to retouch the reality that real police take the shortest route to any conviction almost every time, (see, "CSI:BS"). Police work, with its computer files on almost every citizen and many foreigners, is more about recycling old criminals than finding new ones. Police have learned to thwart DNA, which is easy for them to do, since they monopolize and control crime scenes, keeping out any and all independent witnesses. Evidence appears and disappears as they wish, and the only records that are kept are their own, which are private and closely held. The innocence projects that sprang up to take advantage of DNA Act funding kept statistics. They found the same as other studies have found; that the two primary methods of false conviction are witness-steering and evidence chicanery. Mark Fuhrman and Phil van Adder got caught planting gloves and blood. Nifong got caught lying about DNA he didn't have. Two border guards got caught, and somehow convicted(!) of evidence chicanery, then cried "evidence chicanery!" on their prosecutor/judge team in their appeals. A parade of politicians, all legislators, contrived to get them pardons from Bush rather than do their OWN jobs of fixing bad law that lets police, prosecutors and judges connive with evidence to obtain their own ends, (see "How Politicians Juke Justice" and letters to/from Senator Tom Coburn). The rule illustrated here is that police rarely get caught though they daily engage in dishonest or unlawful acts. When they do get caught so often that they must, for appearances' sake, be punished, their sanction is very light, when not totally virtual, and they get plenty of special treatment from politicians, (see, "Chilling Effect? Not So Fast, Judge!"). A direct result of this pampering is that it causes police to become more and more aware of their exceedingly privileged station in life. They become more and more vicious. Police in S. Carolina have become so addicted to their power that they have begun driving into persons with their cars! ABC news, on 3-20-08, showed dashboard camera footage of two such instances, one in which police drove into a fleeing, afoot Negro, actually driving into a tenement playground occupied with children in his zeal to make a capture. This outrageous behavior is an outgrowth of previous police belligerence when they decided to test the idea of smashing their cars into the backs of cars of persons they wished to capture. They put a fancy name on this violent, dangerous antic (see;'Precision Interdiction Technique") that puts countless lives at risk and added plausible, soothing propaganda to help the gullible public accept it. Success! The silly citizens loved watching police play bumpercars with peoples' lives! Backsmashing was sold! Now they're selling "Bumping" Negroes. Tomorrow they will be driving over pedestrians. On "COPS" twentieth anniversary show, (45-08), police footage was broadcast nationwide of them actually KILLING a GRANDMOTHER! These are trial balloons, lofted to gauge how swiftly even worse atrocities can be unleashed upon the public as standard police procedure. There are, in America, over 7,380,000 people who realize what is occurring from having firsthand experience in dealing with its consequences. These are the seven million Americans who are currently in prison, in jail, or on probation, parole, deferred sentence or other type of lawful sanction from govt. We were screwed out of our lives, and now endeavor to warn you.

Today's society is much more dangerous for another reason, too. For each innocent in prison, there is a corresponding culprit who got away and is encouraged to commit more, worse crimes in the future. But there is a new, technological shadow on his horizon, should we be able to force the law industries to use it; a shadow that will cause as large a disruption of business as-usual, as did DNA when it proved wholesale corruption in the courthouses and police departments. It is called fMRI brain-scanning lie detection. It is 90 to 95% accurate, and it is not as easy for police or prosecutors to thwart with their usual methods. (See, www.noliemri.com, www.cephoscorp.com and "FMRI Lie Detection=Innocent's Lucky Day!")

We need this technology for our own safety as a quality control mechanism on a demonstrably corrupt legal and political establishment, (see, "Secret Agenda of the DS Millionaires' Club", "Current Politics Explained" and "Dope Fiend Prosecutors"). FMRI lie detection will force another throe of honesty and integrity upon our leaders, especially when we combine it with other measures given us by the US Constitution, (see, "Electronic Voting: the Ferrari of Citizen Empowerment", "Dynamic Citizenship and Pro-active Civil Rights" and "Elementary Civics").

Ordinary ways of obtaining good govt have failed. Our perk-dizzy politicians are more interested in obtaining more privilege and power for themselves and their favorites than in protecting citizens and our interests. If we don't put a leash on our leaders soon, they will continue to lead us over their cliff, (see, "How to Exclude Politicians and Elect Statesmen'" and "Humans Extinct by 2200"). The world will not get any safer with our new tactics- Political business as usual has made education plummet, gullibility skyrocket and the middle class groan under the pressure of supporting both the very rich and the extremely poor. This politician-created emergency is why THINC was founded and set to the task of mending a shattering society. THINC is a free educative resource, in the business of providing little known information since 1999.
