		<description><![CDATA[Mary Beth Buchanan not only is a political tyrant but also a criminal of the highest caliber. While protecting George Bush and Dick Cheney in a coverup over 9/11 she also committed the serious crime of kidnapping and obstructed justice in the Abramoff scandal.  Not only did she act in a persistent manner through six kidnappings she also knew the identity of those behind the Anthrax and failed to prosecute them.  She in turn furhtered the coverup with FBI director Mueller an former heads of the CIA while being part of an illicit drug selling scheme for the CIA and tossing people in jail along the way and making even more money from it.

This lady is dirty all the way and even went so far as to coverup non payment of income taxes for individuals such as H. Ross Perot.

Insofar as to furhter coverups she even committed the crime of attempted murder in the coverup of the gangland style slaying of Konstantinos &quot;Gus&quot; Boulis in Florida.  This also involved former exim Bank President Phillip Merrill who was also involved with the illegal gambling with Abramoff and associates.  She needs to go to prison.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Martin Niemoeller, a Dachau concentration camp survivor, wrote these haunting words after his release: 

&quot;I didn’t speak up!
In Germany, the Nazis? came? for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then, they came for me? and by that time there was no one left to speak for me.&quot; 

It is the belief of many within society and the justice system that poor and working class  black, brown and yellow people aren&#039;t committed enough to make a difference.&quot; Lets prove them wrong. Get involved, act  today. If you are not doing something to change the system and the process, you have no right to complain. So, let&#039;s get to work.

 State of Texas v. Lakeith Amir-Sharif 
F0525061, F0559639, F0600180,MA0521971,MA0425257


This letter is an update by MTWT-Texas Chapter, about the case of Lakeith Amir-Sharif (“Sharif“) who is currently awaiting trials April 21, 2008 on trumped up charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, to wit: a car, and stalking; the latter charge is 3 year old and has not been reset for trial as of this date due to the fact the indictment obtained by the racist and corrupt administration of former D.A. Bill Hill is unlawful and statutorily invalid because the requisites for charging Sharif with Stalking don‘t exist. Newly-elected District Attorney Craig Watkins has been made aware of all of these facts prior to and since his election, but nothing has been done to uphold the law and U.S. Constitution by ending this miscarriage of justice, and thus prevent another innocent man from being railroaded to prison like so many others have been done. 

These charges against Sharif lack a lawful or factual foundation because they’re based on lies, revenge, police, prosecution and judicial misconduct, yet with the complicity of various other court officials, local and state politicians (many of whom are defendants in federal civil right lawsuits filed by “Sharif” filed over the horrible conditions and treatment of prisoners while he was in the Dallas County jail during the past 16-months) the Dallas County DA’s Office, headed by Craig Watkins, the first African-American elected to this position, continues to pursue this malicious prosecution at a cost to taxpayers that now exceeds a quarter of a million dollars, and counting. 

It is becoming more and more obvious with each passing day that Sharif’s prosecution has nothing whatsoever to do with him supposedly having broken the law, but rather he is being persecuted for his constitutionally protected activities (i.e. his free speech found on numerous web sites &amp; blogs, plus his federal civil right lawsuits that exposes and challenges the injustices within the Dallas County judiciary, the County Commissioners Office, the Dallas Sheriff’s Department, and the Dallas County Jail). 

Few, if any, Texas media outlets or elected leaders in Dallas County or the Texas State Legislatures in Austin, have not heard about the persecution of Sharif and the wasteful spending of  taxpayers money, the unethical acts and abuses of power by the judges, police, and others involved in Sharif’s cases in order to carry out this travesty of justice, yet none of them have had the courage nor decency to take a principled stance in the name of truth and justice and demand answers and an end to this egregious injustice. 

To find some of the answers as to why there was a Fake Drug Scandal in Dallas, and why 15 recently exonerated citizens were railroaded to prison and why 400 plus others imprisoned citizens from Dallas County alone are claiming they were railroaded and that DNA testing will prove their innocence, you need to look no further than the case of Sharif and the many things we’ve pointed out to the world via MTWT’s website at:

		<description><![CDATA[I recommend you all read the &quot;Wecht Files&quot; written by Charlie Dietrich of the Pittsburgh City Paper.  Like Radley, Charlie also covered the Rottschaefer case in an article named &quot;Bitter Pills.&quot;  The links are attached below.

There are a lot of issues with the Wecht case.  

First, the allegations amount to what the defense attributes are less than ~$1,800 worth of errors in billings during a time when Wecht billed roughly ~$9,000,000 in revenue.  In case you are wondering, the prosecution has yet to provide an estimate on the amount of errors in billings after over five years worth of investigating.  Not sure, but wouldn&#039;t this info be prudent before you file an indictment on these types of charges.

Second, the prosecution appears to be clearly political in nature and is now falling apart.  Mary Beth Buchanan had to drop half the charges because they can&#039;t be substantiated.

Third, the prosecution utilized a corrupt investigator to head the case up.  When Wecht&#039;s lawyers found out about the issues relating to the investigator being charged with tampering with witnesses and falsify evidence receipts, they requested that the information be made public.  The prosecution of course attempted to hide this information from Wecht, the court, and the public.  The investigator was moved to a desk job where he quote has no responsibilities at all.

Lastly, Wecht appears to be targeted because he went against the local DA in Allegheny County in relation to a homicide.  Wecht ruled that the actions of multiple police officers resulted in the death of an innocent person.  Wecht requested that an investigation be open, instead DA Zappala refused to open any such investigation.  When Wecht testified in support of the victim&#039;s families in a civil suit, DA Zappala threatened Wecht that he would charge him with misusing his office for private gain.  Many in Pittsburgh know that Zappala referred the case to Buchanan and now you have this huge waste of money.  Millions have been spent on trying to go after someone for a less than .01% mistake in billings that no one has complained about.  Wouldn&#039;t these actions be considered misuse of government resources on part of the prosecution?

Many in Pittsburgh know that Zappala referred the case to Buchanan and now you have this huge waste of money.  Millions have been spent on trying to go after someone for a less than .01% mistake in billings that no one has complained about.  Wouldn&#8217;t these actions be considered misuse of government resources on part of the prosecution?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The law or stater and federal constitutions need to be changed to allow for private prosecution of government officials who commit malicious or wrongful prosecution or who violate the constitution (state or federal). In addition, there needs to be mandatory minimum sentences and concomitant civil liability. Also, governmental bodies themselves should be subject to prosecution, just as are private groups.&quot;

You would simply need a constitutional amendment revoking the common-law concept of sovereign immunity.  In addition, make it so that any wrongful prosecution, once proven, means that everyone involved -- law enforcement, prosecutors, false witnesses, judges, everyone, gets exactly the same punishment served by the innocent person.

If the poor guy was in for 25 years before the miscarriage of justice was corrected, that&#039;s what they get.  If he was executed, line &#039;em up on their knees in the prison courtyard and bill their families for the bullet.  And the wear-and-tear on the gun.  And make sure that no honors are rendered at their funerals.  In fact, just burn the bodies and hand the urn to the innocent person they railroaded, no funeral, no honors.  Let the families beg the person they wronged for their loved one&#039;s remains.

If it were me, I&#039;d piss in the urn and post the video on YouTube.

Never happen, of course.  Not until Claire Wolfe time.  But I can dream, can&#039;t I?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John,

I disagree with the notion that these prosecutors in these cases are not partaking in criminal actions.  Take Mary Beth Buchanan, it is clear to anyone with half a brain that reads the letters from the prosecution witness that the DEA Agents planted the false testimony.  Additionally, the fact Ms. Buchanan chose not to run a polygraph when the witnesses altered their testimonies to support the government&#039;s case is telling.  

The issue in this case and in others is the issue that the fox is guarding the chicken coup.  Obviously, Ms. Mary Beth Buchanan is not going to investigate the allegations against her and her staff.  Obviously, she is not going to revoke this witness&#039; get out of jail for testimony deal.  In doing so, the whole house of cards would fall.

So in sum, calling these actions such as coercing false testimony, tampering with witnesses and evidence, and letting rampant perjury go unchallenged in a court of law legal is absurd.  These prosecutors are criminals in suits.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It occurs to me that these prosecutors are not the worst. In fact, they are the best. They know to build their careers by enforcing the law to its limit. They have no incentive for fairness, justice, compassion or balance. The problem is the law that allows them to do that. So don&#039;t look to any prosecutor for &quot;justice&quot;. The word has lost its meaning in our growing police state.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The word at the Pinellas County courthouse is that Andringa left the prosecution business probably because FL doesn&#039;t pay much. No one knows for sure, but EVERYONE wants to believe he was advised to leave after he discredited the FL State Attorneys Office by the national publicity after he hounded Paey for 7 years and 3 trials to finally get him. I voted for Andringa.]]></description>

Of course, we&#039;ll never see this short of a revolution. The root problem is the people themselves. They tend to be false-righteous and self-righteous, and tend to identify with the prosecution and government. Sad but true.

The next time there is a revolution, what will be needed in the new structure is provision for prosecution of government officials for their official actions, and for legislators for enacting and the executive for enforcing wrongful laws. There needs to be a separate &quot;meta-government&quot; with the limited jurisdiction of prosecuting government officials and elected politicians for their wrongful official actions. The should be no legislative nor sovereign immunity.]]></description>
