Petition in DC Court Alleges Widespread Corruption of the Justice System in Los Angeles, California

May 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Washington DC -- petition filed in U.S. District Court - "to compel a U.S. Officer to Perform His Duties" (Zernik v Melson et al 1:09-cv-00805), against Director USDOJ - Kenneth Melson, and FBI Assistant Director - Kenneth Kaiser, who are alleged to have provided false and deliberately misleading responses to inquiries by Congress -
Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congresswoman Diane Watson regarding the case of Samaan v Zernik. The petition alleges that the USDOJ and FBI tolerate conditions in LA County, California, that are contrary to civil rights guaranteed in the Amendments and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Drug sales by law enforcement agencies: The petition alleges that such treatment of this county goes back at least to the early 80's and drug sales for profit by CIA in Los Angeles, as part of Iran-Contra. The petition alleges that such corruption continued through the Rampart scandal investigation - cover-up of further drug sales for profit by various law enforcement agencies. The petition calls for investigation of the conduct of Judge Jacqueline Connor in the First Rampart Trial and elsewhere. The petition alleges that such corruption, continues today, as evidenced by the refusal of LAPD narcotics officers to comply with provision of the Consent Decree (2001) that required annual financial disclosures, and support by LAPD Chief of the refusal of the narcotic officers to comply with U.S. Court orders.
Fraudulent case management systems (CMS): The petition alleges that CMSs introduced in LA courts around 1985, at a time that Ronald George, California Chief Justice, was in leadership positions in LA Superior Court, produced by Sustain, a corporation controlled by the Daily Journal - the largest legal newspaper in California - are massive fraud on the people.
The petition alleges that the elimination of the Books of Court and the denial of public access to court records that accompanied these CMSs, as well as the "local custom" of "waiving" service and notice of court orders, combined - set the court system in LA hundreds of years backwards.
Real estate frauds: The petition alleges judges of the LA Superior court engage in real estate frauds as a racket, through the Enterprise Track - cases that in fact are not part of the Superior Court of California, but appear so to naive parties. In both Samaan v Zernik, and Galdjie v Darwish the Clerk of the Court now refuses to certify that the cases were valid cases of the Superior Court, that the judges were duly assigned (none had assignment orders), and that judgments were valid effectual judgments of the Superior Court of California. Both cases involved Judge John Segal and Att David Pasternak, former president of LA County Bar Association as "Receiver" for real properties. The Grant Deed issued by Pasternak in Samaan v Zernik was opined by veteran FBI agent decorated by FBI Director, by U.S. Congress, and by the U.S. attorney general to be ".. frauds being committed...". The petition alleges that search at the LA County Registrar/Recorder office
revealed numerous similar grant deeds by Pasternak there, and conditions at that office, which allowed filing of such Grant Deeds, facilitated real estate frauds.
Countrywide: The petition alleges that LA County was noted by FBI as the "epicenter of an epidemic of real estate and mortgage frauds" well before the sub-prime heist was noticed, and that conditions of the justice system in LA County were quintessential for the development of Countrywide into a corrupt organization. The focus of corruption was the conduct of the Legal Department, which was headed at that time by Sandor Samuels. Corrupt legal practices were rebuked in January 2008 in the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Court, where Countrywide filed "recreated letters" as evidence, and in March 2008 by the Hon Jeff Bohm, U.S. Judge, Houston Texas, relative to deceitful employment of outside counsel. The petition alleges that both of these deceitful techniques are still utilized today, in LA Superior Court, under control of Bank of America.
Bank of America and the Bailout-Merger: The petition alleges that the failure of FBI to find anything in its investigation, while issuing public statements of an intensive investigation of Countrywide - is deceit on the public and on elected officials. The petition alleges that the merger-bailout of Countrywide with Bank of America, where Bank of America is allowed to grow beyond limits previously set, and where Bank of America agreed to take over a corrupt organization, must have been accompanied by some secret promises or understandings. Such promises, legally valid or not, by Bush administration officials, which amounted to de facto immunities for Bank of America from criminal liabilities are the harbinger of much
greater danger to the U.S. economy.
All LA Superior Court judges took payments that were "not permitted": The petition alleges payments of about $45,000 per judge per year, to ALL LA Superior Court judges, which were ruled "not permitted" in October 2008, would be called "Bribes" by a lay-person. The petition alleges that such payments were signed by the California Governor in January 2009 into law that is unconstitutional on its face.
False imprisonments: The petition alleges that false imprisonments continue today of 10,000 or more Rampart-FIPs (Falsely Imprisoned Persons), mostly black and Latinos, who were left imprisoned after the massive Rampart-corruption scandal investigation. The petition alleges that Att Richard Fine, former U.S. Attorney, is falsely and indefinitely imprisoned for contempt since early March 2009, after leading the fight to expose the payment to LA Superior Court judges that were "not permitted". The petition alleges these are disgraces of historic proportions!
