FIJA DEMONSTRATION OF 11/23/09

I arrived at he U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, 500 Pearl Street in Manhattan at 11:45 am on Monday, November 23, 2009. The weather was cold and windy. I stood in the middle of the plaza in front of the courthouse.

I passed out 10 of the FIJA pamphlet entitled “True or False: Factual Information about Jury Service” along with my flyer (see below). At 12:10 pm three Homeland Security police officers approached me. I asked them to identify themselves, but they did not. Instead they asked me who I was. I responded that I did not have to identify myself, but that they did. One of them grabbed my arm and placed me under arrest. I fell to the ground and lay still on the cold ground for about 1/2 hour and said nothing. I was not handcuffed.

The police confiscated my ‘JURY INFO” sign and my pen, but not my remaining pamphlets.. I was not issued a property receipt or a citation.

While on the ground, some individuals were taking pictures of me. They were informed by the police that they could not take pictures on federal property, but at least one of them continued. I do not know what happened to them. I overheard one of the police officers say that he saw my web site and himself on youtube.

Medics from the fire department arrived. They asked me questions, but I did not respond. They pounded on my chest and shoulders to try to get me to respond, but to no avail. Then they searched me for identification, which I do not carry. While doing this they put a 3-inch rip in my pants.

Soon an ambulance arrived, I was lifted onto a gurney, and placed in the ambulance. The ambulance attendants also punched me in the chest and shoulders to get me to talk, which did not work. They also gave me a medical exam.

I arrived at New York Downtown Hospital and was treated by 4 nurses, who stripped me naked and gave me the most thorough medical exam of my life. This included two intravenous injection, blood withdrawal, an electrocardiogram, stethoscope, blood pressure, pulse, eyes, and temperature. I was found to be in excellent health. However they did not give me a colorectal exam. Fortunately, my urologist had done that on November 11, 2009.

The nurses called two people listed in my cell phone to identify me, but they refused to identify me or themselves, as I had instructed them. Finally Dr. Cho came to see me at about 2:15 pm. I asked her if I was still under arrest. She said no and did not know why I asked. The hospital was told that the police found a man lying unconscious in the street. I talked to her, which greatly relieved everyone else. She tried to learn my identity, but I would not give it to her. I asked to be released, and she agreed.

The hospital wanted my name, address, and medical insurance information. I refused to give any information. I was released at 2:35 pm and signed the release form “John Galt.”

new julian info, this guy will not quit:

FIJA DEMONSTRATION OF 11/16/09

I arrived at he U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, 500 Pearl Street in Manhattan at 11:45 am on Monday, November 16, 2009. The weather was perfect: warm and sunny. I stood in the middle of the plaza in front of the courthouse.

I started to pass out the FIJA pamphlet entitled “A Primer for Prospective Jurors” along with my handout (see below). Two photographers, whom I do not know, were present At 11:48 am, I was approached by two federal marshals, who informed me that I had to leave. I demurred. They said that they would have to report me and left.

I passed out about 8 flyers, when three police officers from the Department of Homeland Security approached me at about 11:58 am. The leader was my friend Officer Barnes from previous encounters. After we exchanged the usual pleasantries, he placed me under arrest, and I fell to the ground. He confiscated my remaining brochures and my JURY INFO sign. He left a receipt and a citation 41 CFR, Sub C Section 102 #74.415(c), the same as previously (see below). He unarrested me at 12:05 pm, and the police left the scene.

The Homeland Security Police also approached the photographers. Apparently one left, but the other would not. He was taking pictures of my arrest. He was placed under arrest. However, he apparently had a permit to photograph a trial, which was the reason he was there. He identified himself as a photographer for the “Post.” He was not cited nor any of his property confiscated.

Another pedestrian was standing about 20 feet away observing events. The police approached him nd told him that he had to leave. Apparently standing on federal property is also an offense. However, apparently he left and was not cited.

After spending a week doing wine tastings, this Wall St. Journal article served as a nice reinforcement of my hunches about some of the snobbishness around wine drinking. Luckily, I know little about which varietals yield which kinds of wines or which regions are better than others, etc. I simply know what I taste, which so far has served me well.

Didn't make it to Gamespot early enough yesterday to pick up my copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Not sure what their policy on holding games is, but hopefully it'll still be waiting for me when I get there after work today.

I'll try to write-up a California vacation wrap-up and post it up over the next few days, but otherwise I'll probably be pretty quiet as I try to catch-up on a week of being out of the office and skipping class.

happen to catch the atmosphere the other day? after years of bugging dr. tony from spaceweather he has finally featured me in a news item. check the nov. 11 post

FIJA DEMONSTRATION OF 11/09/09

I arrived at he U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, 500 Pearl Street in Manhattan at 11:45 am on Monday, November 9, 2009. The weather was perfect: warm and sunny. I stood in the middle of the plaza in front of the courthouse.

I started to pass out the FIJA pamphlet entitled “A Primer for Prospective Jurors” along with my handout (see below). A freelance reporter form Free Talk Live was present. At 11:48, I was approached by two federal marshals, who identified themselves as Musumeci and Sullivan. They would not give first names and said that they had no badge numbers. They informed me that I had to leave. I demurred. They said that they would have to report me and left.

I passed out about 15 flyers, when three police from the Department of Homeland Security approached me at about 12:20 pm. The leader was my friend Officer Barnes from two weeks ago. After we exchanged the usual pleasantries, he placed me under arrest, and I fell to the ground. He confiscated my remaining five brochures and my JURY INFO sign. He left a receipt and a citation 41 CFR, Sub C Section 102 #74.415(c), the same as two weeks earlier.

During the exchange with the police, the Free Talk Live reporter videotaped the event and interviewed me until he was stopped and cited by the police under 41 CFR, Subsection C, §102–74.420 for photographing without a permit. They confiscated his film.

At about 12:30 pm, while I was still on the ground, Joel Kupferman, a lawyer and Executive Director of the New York Environmental & Justice Project appeared and observed. Then the police left at 12:35 pm. I stood up and the event was over.

We noticed that an NBC reporter was present, but we did not interact with him. Joel and I went to a Chinese soup shop and had hot and sour soup. I arrived home at about 3:15 pm.

Julian's latest email:

My Fellow Americans:

I love my country very much, but I am ashamed of it, very ashamed. It was the best country that was ever created on this earth. It is a federated constitutional republic with separate branches of government and a Bill of Rights intended to guarantee personal freedom. People from all over the world came here and were absorbed into the body politic.

Our country was imperfect at first, but we continued to improve. The institution of slavery was abolished in 1865. Peace was made with the Native American population. Workplace conditions were improved. Women suffrage was introduced with the 19th Amendment. Racial segregation was ended in the 1960s. Women's’ rights have been expanded continually. We are making progress on opportunities for the disabled and rights for homosexual persons.

In the foreign sphere, we saved the world from Nazi fascism, Japanese imperialism, and Soviet communism. We have led the human struggle against poverty, hunger, and disease.

We became the richest and most powerful nation the world has ever known. We had many reasons to be proud.

But about 30 years ago, we began to lose our way. We decided to become the world’s number one prison state. Harmless people were imprisoned for owning plants, vegetables, and flowers. Our prison population expanded enormously. Now we have 25% of the world’s prisoners, but less than 5% of the world’ population. Our prisons have become hellholes. About one in every 25 adult males currently is on probation or parole. 1.6 million of our children have a parent incarcerated.

On September 11, 2001, our country suffered the most devastating attack on its soil in our history. Two of our spectacular buildings were destroyed. Thousands of people died, including my next door neighbor.

We undertook the noble task of ridding the world of Jihad and restructuring Afghanistan and Iraq. Instead we just have killed and maimed thousands of our young men and women. We incarcerated suspected enemies without trials and introduced human torture. We established our own Gestapo with the pseudonym of Department of Homeland Security.

The Gestapo, in collusion with our courts, has stripped away our constitutional rights. We have lost the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 14th Amendments to the U. S. Constitution. We have become a subservient population.

Our economic system collapsed in 2007 because of the greed and recklessness of the business community. We elected Messiah Barack Obama as our President in 2008, because he promised us change we can live with. This change amounted to hiring the people who destroyed our economy to fix it. Their solution has been to indebt the American people of its remaining money and giving the money to the culprits who caused the problem. It is the largest Ponzi scheme in human history, and our progeny will pay dearly.

If this is the legacy you do not want to leave for your children, then join me in the struggle to recover the great country we once had. Otherwise your progeny will hate you forever.

Come stand with me on the U. S. District Courtyard at 500 Pearl Street in Manhattan!
