SOAPBOX: The “JENA 6″ Saga; Warrens Jeffs and LDS; The Futility of Silence & Disregard; URGENT APPEAL FOR CONGRESS PROBE!
*edited on 4/25/2009* The salient thing that the unfortunate turn of events which escalated into a worldwide outcry about the JENA 6 controversy in Louisiana reveals is that long ago, AN OPEN DISCUSSION of the issues could have remedied or likely prevented things from becoming out of hand. However, the majority of White residents in Jena wanted no media there, and too many saw no reason for uproar. The same sentiment of no discussion is being conveyed by members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of LDS with no questions about polygamist, Warren Jeffs. Jeffs is the, president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, who has been indicted as accomplice to rape for his role in a marriage of 14-year-old and 19-year-old cousins. In the both situations, there is an unwillingness to take into consideration that harms have been done –and some apparently very serious.
Similarly, prior to Hurricane Katrina, I have lived in New Orleans all my life. Like thousands of evacuees, I am now exiled; and have had to remain in Shreveport. I grew up in foster homes, was a teenage parent, had various personal baggage I have and am yet dealing with to the best of the ability I have. I obtained a college degree after age 40; I’m a seminary graduate and a published author, etc. I am what would be called a “Have Not,” in the sense that I don’t have any connection to the CRONY or ELITE establishment.)
More than 4 years ago my failed marriage caused me to require judicial solutions, especially because I was fastly heading to financial ruin in New Orleans. However, I became educated about JUDICIAL CORRUPTION, CRONISM, and REPRISAL for attempting to challenge political oppressive social conditions for myself and others. In addition to those things, I also discovered Louisiana White Collar REAL ESTATE and MORTGAGE FRAUD schemes. I am now an UNPROTECTED WHISTLEBLOWER, who is also blacklisted; and I have been trying to maintain my own litigation –as well as BLOG on my site about corruption, point attention to political things I feel strongly about, and clear my name to hopefully reverse what all has happened to me.
*IN LIGHT OF THE INCREDIBLE UNLAWFUL & ABUSE-OF-POWER ACTIVITIES BY LOUISIANA STATE DISTRICE JUDGE HERBERT CADE (whom the facts demonstrate Cade should go to jail) THERE NEEDS TO BE PUBLIC ALERT & AWARENESS ABOUT APPALLING, OPPRESSIVE, CORRUPT ACTIVITIES BEING CARRIED OUT AT THE NEW ORLEANS CIVIL DISTRICT COURT involving people like Judge Herbert Cade, Judge Lloyd Medley and Medley’s law clerk, Neisha Lange, and Clerk of Court Dale N. Atkins.) Moreover, not only is unethical Judicial Personnel misconduct and fraud disastrous to certain litigants, it is explicitly conducive to New Orleans’ crime, social apathy, poverty, vice, substance abuse, and domestic violence.

It is a well-known fact that corruption and cronyism thrive in New Orleans, and the State of Louisiana is entrenched. For Jena, the LDS, or even Louisiana admitted philanderer,Senator David Vitter (who adamantly refuses to answer questions or discuss his well-documented dalliances with prostitutes while in public office), or any other entity which repeatedly incurs accusations or raises social concern, it would appear that the obvious intelligent thing is DIALOGUE; and the unintelligent thing would be to disregard and try to COVER UP matters. Yet, mainly due to cronyism, instead of fair discussion and exposure of any evidence, in Louisiana Courts Systems coverup and swift dismissal of cases involving minorities is the rule of thumb. Or, if swift dismissal is not expedient for corruption agendas, dragging out a case or various other ‘abuse of process’ proceedings are employed to enable successful concealment and prevention of accountability.
Pertaining to the JENA 6, it is astonishing –and I feel certain the average layperson could have told the Jena 6 prosecutor(s) that minors are not to be charged under the same laws as adults! It boggles the mind how the higher court did not speak up sooner! But so does are other things astonishing about that situation; in like manner as is the LDS forcing a minor to marry someone, especially a relative. As such, when the EFFECTS from those kinds of CAUSES reach a point where public policy becomes offended or aroused, wanting things to be hushed, or wanting the media to go away is no longer an option.
The Criminal Judicial System in Louisiana has repeatedly been in the national spotlight. Due to prolonged outcry, there was once even a juvenile jail ordered shut down became of inhumane things being done. Succinctly, the State and Federal Civil Judicial Systems in located Louisiana NEEDS to be as much in the national spotlight as the criminal system, for both the federal and state courts here have been means for horrendous afflictions upon certain classes of people. Hence, correlation between A PROBE into what happened or did not happen surrounding Warren Jeffs, and what happened in Jena is synonymous with the reality that when specific conditions exist for a long time, and the EFFECTS reverberate in public view, such merits being looked into. It will not suffice to demand that no one asks questions, nor will it do much good to want the media to go away.
By use of this blog, I hope NOT to subtly insert my personal agenda. However, I have remained unrelentingly in trying to raise awareness of the very issues and topics I’ve stated here. Like anybody else, I would prefer my personal embarrassing life to not be on the Internet. (I would prefer things to have remained quiet; and had it not been for what happened to me AFTER being exiled I would have probably kept quiet, AND I want my life back!) The bottom line is that the social union to which all Americans belong requires examination into underlying factors that have or has the potential to wreak havoc on society -even if those are such things as sleep deprivation, medical matters, inability to find suitable life partners, or financial dilemmas –not to mention government corruption and foreign soil issues.
Again, I call attention to facts which demonstrate that for Louisiana, the Criminal justice is no worse than Louisiana’s Civil justice system, except for the harshness of being jailed. Also, proven from the criminal justice systems’ prosecution of Mychal Bell, the Louisiana appellate system has the greater authority (and could have thrown out Bell’s conviction long ago).
Because of the seriousness of the matter, every chance I get I announce / point out the fact of the destructiveness of the Federal as well as State CIVIL court system in Louisiana, and its counterpart, the local United States Justice Department headed by Mr. Jim Letten. And I assert that injusitce will continue if it remains uninvestigated by NON-LOCAL quid pro quo cronies –especially Senator David Vitter cronies! Also, I have published on my site the facts and proof of the repeated ‘VIRTUAL RAPE’ to which I was subjected within the Louisiana court system as evidence of the depths and horrific conduct of judicial tyranny and corruption and revenue waste here! In plain view are quiet Mychal Bell situations waiting to happen, or that have happened and nothing was done about it; and the rampant social oppression which is linked to Louisiana poverty and crime and violence, and continues to erode the quality of life for Louisiana people. Not until the REAL QUESTIONS became asked, and the persons responsible are made accountable for their actions, racism and disparity and poverty and oppression and corruption will thrive.
Please, members of CONGRESS, FULLY INVESTIGATE the Louisiana CIVIL and CRIMINAL Judicial Systems, as well as this Louisiana Division of the Federal Justice Department headed by U.S. Attorney Jim Letten.
