10-11-25 William Suter, Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States – Evidence of Public Corruption // La Corrupción de la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos

  
William Suter, Clerk
Supreme Court of the United States

Los Angeles, November 25 – Human Rights Alert (NGO) and Joseph Zernik, PhD, released four letters, issued by the Office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States, William Suter, as evidence of public corruption of the Clerk of the highest court of the land. [i]
The four letters are:
1)       Fine v Baca (09-A827) Application for Stay of Execution (of solitary confinement): March 12, 2010 letter noticing denial of the Application, as discovered in the paper court file.  The letter was unsigned,  naming ‘Staff Attorney’ Danny Bickell, who was not authorized as a Deputy Clerk, as the issuer. Moreover, the letter was never stamped ‘FILED’.  No evidence was found in the paper court file of valid judicial review, as the lawful foundation for such notice of denial.
2)       Fine v Baca (09-A827) - Application for Stay of Execution (of solitary confinement): April 29, 2010 letter noticing the ‘return’ of Motion to Intervene, as received by the Motion filer. The letter was issued and signed by ‘Danny Bickell’ – with no title or authority stated at all. No evidence was found in the paper court file of either judicial or clerical review to provide the lawful foundation for such notice of ‘return’ of the Motion, which was duly filed at the Court.
3)       Taitz v MacDonald (10-A56) – Application for Stay of Execution (of serious sanctions): July 15, 2010 letter noticing denial of the Application, as received by the Applicant. The signature box of the letter was deemed false and misleading: Signature of William Suter appeared where signature of Danny Bickell should have appeared, and ‘Staff Attorney’ Danny Bickell was unauthorized to issue such letter.  Moreover, the Applicant’s efforts to gain access to evidence of valid judicial review of the Application were denied.
4)       Fine v Baca (09-1250) – Petition (in re: Habeas Corpus):  July 26, 2010 paper noticing denial of the Petition, as discovered in the Supreme Court file.  The letter was unsigned, with no name of a Deputy Clerk listed at all as the issuer, and the paper was never stamped FILED.  No evidence was found in the paper court file of valid judicial review as the lawful foundation for such notice of denial.
The name of William Suter, Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States, appeared on each and every one of the letters, which are opined as false and deliberately misleading.  The letters are claimed as evidence of wrongful denial of access to justice. Human Rights Alert previously released collection of records from the online public access system of the Supreme Court, which provided additional evidence of contradictory, invalid, false, and misleading records. [ii]  The Supreme Court most likely also operates a case management system, and the Office of the Clerk was requested to permit access to records from the system, pursuant to First Amendment rights. Access was denied.  The Supreme Court also failed to publish Local Rules pertaining to the operation of its online public access and case management systems, like all other US courts, which were inspected, in apparent violation of Due Process rights. Combined, the findings are opined as evidence of public corruption of the Office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States. 
Given the pervasive nature of invalid records found at the Supreme Court, and apparent violations of First Amendment and Due Process rights, it was greatly doubted that the Justices of the Supreme Court were unaware of conduct of Mr Suter.
Human Rights Alert accumulated in recent years similar evidence of corruption at the US courts from coast to coast.  It was difficult to assess the level of corruption at the US courts today from historic perspective, for lack of reliable historic data.  However, corruption at the US courts today, was believe to be similar or greater than that which was seen during the notorious Robber Baron Era, a century ago. 
The clerks of the US courts were claimed as central to such conditions, through abdication of their duties and responsibilities relative to integrity of electronic court records.  The Administrative Office of the US Courts, which implemented the electronic online public access and case management systems at the US courts, was likewise held accountable for such conditions.
Human Rights Alert called upon the US Congress to initiate reform of the US judiciary through:
1)      Placing the clerks of the US courts under the authority of the US Attorney General, similar to provisions of the Salary Act of 1919, which was claimed as instrumental in restoring integrity of the courts a century ago.  In the past half-century the clerks have been placed under authority of the US judiciary, therefore undermining key checks and balances at the US courts.
2)      Enacting federal rules of PACER and CM/ECF – including publicly and legally accountable validation (certified functional logic verification) of the online public access and case management systems of the US courts, restoration of accountability of the clerks for electronic court records, restoration of public access to such records, and publication of all rules and procedures that are embedded in such systems.
In report, published in a peer reviewed, computer science journal, listing scholars from six European nations and Canada, Dr Zernik opined that PACER and CM/ECF amounted to large-scale computer fraud. [iii] Three additional reports on the matter are pending before an international, peer reviewed, top-tier international law journal. [iv]
Conditions that prevail at the US courts today undermine Human Rights and banking regulation, and contribute to disintegration of the frameworks of democratic government in the United States.  Reform of the judiciary in the United States is also essential for addressing the current Depression. 
Human Rights Alert (NGO) is dedicated to discovering, archiving, and disseminating evidence of Human Rights violations by the justice systems of the State of California and the United States in Los Angeles, California, and beyond. Special emphasis is given to the unique role of computerized case management systems in the precipitous deterioration of integrity of the justice system in the United States.

WikiLeaks Release to Feature Corruption Among World Leaders, Governments
By Daniel Tencer
November 25, 2010 "
Raw Story" --  The Obama administration on Wednesday warned that the next release of documents from whistleblower Web site WikiLeaks could damage relations between the US and foreign governments. Now, a report from Reuters offers an explanation as to why that may be.
According to "sources familiar with the State Department cables held by WikiLeaks," the imminent document dump will include reports from US diplomats on corruption within foreign governments and among world leaders.
Reuters reports that governments in Europe and Asia feature prominently in the document release, with Russia and Afghanistan being mentioned by name. However, there were no specifics reported as to the nature of the corruption allegations or which governments are involved.
Three sources familiar with the State Department cables held by WikiLeaks say the corruption allegations in them are major enough to cause serious embarrassment for foreign governments and politicians named in them.
They said the release was expected next week, but could come earlier. The U.S. government has strongly objected to past WikiLeaks revelations, which it said compromise national security and can put some people at risk
The US government, for its part, seems to be aware of the general nature of the material WikiLeaks will be releasing. AP reported Wednesday:
The Obama administration said Wednesday it has alerted Congress and begun notifying foreign governments that the WikiLeaks website is preparing to release sensitive U.S. diplomatic files that could damage U.S. relations with friends and allies across the globe.
"These revelations are harmful to the United States and our interests," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said. "They are going to create tension in relationships between our diplomats and our friends around the world."
Sweden issued an international arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange last week, several months after the country launched, then dropped, then launched again an investigation into claims by two women that Assange sexually assaulted them.
Assange has maintained his innocence, and says all contact between him and the two women was consensual. He says the allegations are a ruse to discredit WikiLeaks, speculating that the Pentagon may have motivated the rape claims.

U.S. warns Ottawa about fallout from pending WikiLeaks release
OTTAWA— The Canadian Press
Published 
Last updated 

The U.S. government has notified Ottawa that the WikiLeaks website is preparing to release sensitive U.S. diplomatic files that could damage American relations with allies around the world.

U.S. officials say the documents may contain accounts of compromising conversations with political dissidents and friendly politicians as well as activities that could result in the expulsion of U.S. diplomats from foreign postings.



U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Jacobson phoned Minister of Foreign Affairs Lawrence Cannon to inform him of the matter, a foreign affairs spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Melissa Lantsman said the Canadian embassy in Washington is “currently engaging” with the U.S. State Department on this matter.
“We are not privy to the full contents of documents which may be leaked,” Ms. Lantsman said in an e-mail to The Canadian Press.
A State Department spokesman said Wednesday the release of confidential communications about foreign governments probably will erode trust in the United States as a diplomatic partner.
“These revelations are harmful to the United States and our interests,” State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said. “They are going to create tension in relationships between our diplomats and our friends around the world.”
U.S. diplomatic outposts around the world have begun notifying other governments that WikiLeaks, a group that bills itself as a website devoted to reforming governments worldwide by exposing their secrets, may release these documents in the next few days.
Many of the cables are believed to date from the start of U.S. President Barack Obama's administration, meaning that the White House will not be able to distance itself from any disclosures.
One concern, for example, is that the documents may reveal the kinds of pressure the U.S. administration has put on various countries to accept the transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees who have been cleared for release but are unwelcome in their home countries.
Canadian detainee Omar Khadr was the subject of discussions last month between Cannon and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Canada has long resisted repatriating Mr. Khadr, the only western detainee remaining at Guantanamo Bay, despite pressure from both American and Canada's federal courts. That position is thought to have caused tensions between the two countries.
The Toronto-born Mr. Khadr pleaded guilty last month to five war crimes, including the murder of a U.S. soldier during a firefight in Afghanistan in July 2002.
On Oct. 31, Mr. Khadr was sentenced to eight years in prison. According to a pre-trial deal, the 24-year-old man will serve one more year in U.S. custody, and after that he can apply to transfer to Canada to serve out the balance of his sentence under Canadian terms.
It remains to be seen if diplomatic cables between Ottawa and Washington regarding Mr. Khadr, the Canadian mission in Afghanistan or other bilateral matters will be among the documents expected to be released this weekend.
