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!

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE

THE PRICE OF JUSTICE IS ETERNAL PUBLICITY

FIJA DEMONSTRATION OF 11/02/09

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 2, 2009. The weather was sunny, but a little cooler than the wo precious weeks. I stood in the middle of the plaza in front of the courthouse. I did not have my JURY INFO sign, because I did not have the time to replace the one that was seized the previous week.

I started to pass out the FIJA pamphlet entitled “A Primer for Prospective Jurors” along with my handout (see below). At 12:00 noon, a Homeland Security police officer approached me and asked for a copy of the brochure, which I gave to him. He informed me that I could not pass out literature on federal property. I assured him that I could. He left without identifying himself.

At 12:21 pm, two other Homeland Security police officers approached me. I requested them to identify themselves, but they refused. We had a disagreement about my right to pass out literature. they ordered me to stop, but I continued. Then one of them said that I was under arrest, get his hands behind his back and handcuff him. Immediately, I fell to the ground face down. I remained in that position for over an hour, before I was lifted onto a gurney and strapped securely. I was never handcuffed nor received a citation or summons. It was an out and out kidnapping.

I was taken to Bellevue Psychiaytric hospital and arrived at about 2:00 pm. Again I gave no response to any questions of either the police or the hospital personnel. All my personal belongs including sneaks and a belt were taken from me.

At about 3:00 pm, I received a telephone call from Chris Goldstein, a radio reporter, who said that he would start the publicity rolling.

After about 4:00 pm, I made a fuss to see someone in charge, so that I could either be released or brought in front of a magistrate. My requests were ignored, and became more persistent. Against my wishes four attendants grabbed me and gave me a shot of thorazine to calm me down. It worked, I got an excellent night’s sleep.

Dr. Lowe is the head psychiatrist for the Bellevue unit in charge. He made it a point to see that I ws not interviewed the first day. On Tuesday morning I was interviewed by psychiatrist Dr. Striker and social worker Kari Wolf. After a calm discussion with them, I was released at 11:55 am. A set of follow-up instructions was given to me.

During my stay, I was treated well by the staff, received 3 full meals, and extensive medical tests of the usual variety were done. It was a thorough medical exam.

On Tuesday morning, I was given a NOTICE OF STATUS AND RIGHTS C.P.E.P. EMERGENCY ADMISSION. In principle I had rights, But it would not be convenient to exercise them.

I signed all documents John Galt. I was released at 11:55 am and voted for Ken Kaplan for Governor of NJ on my way home.

Warning:You should know that The Federal Protective Service is intercepting my e-mails. Another violation of our civil liberties.

Picked Final Fantasy: Dissidia for PSP up over the weekend. Had read about it a bit prior to buying it, but I'm still not really sure I know what it is yet. It had the words "Final" and "Fantasy" next to each other on the cover, though, so that was enough for me. I used the visual search app SnapTell for the first time to dig up some reviews and competitive pricing while deciding whether to purchase it or not. What a great experience. Definitely a game changing app. Much respect to the fact that the folks that make SnapTell are confusingly owned by Amazon,but still prominently display competitor pricing, as well.

Although I'm pretty well-taken care of games-wise for awhile, I'll probably be giving iPhone Doom a download within the next few days, as well. I thoroughly enjoyed (and still continue to enjoy) the Wolfenstein 3D port that id did for iPhone, and expect that Doom will be even better. I'm now reminded that id was kind enough to add Spear of Destiny to the Wolf 3D app for free over the weekend. I've gotta check that out, as well.

hello kids. find myself struggling to find sleep, here in the afterglow of daylight savings and 6mg of buprenorphine.

gorgeous full moon tonight. bathes everything in a blinding wintry light. cool clear sky. orion a hunter among the stars. what else could you want? something you ask as you grow older, what more could i possibly want?

looking forward to hearing of julian's antics tomorrow. would really like to make it into the city by 11:45 am, the time he plans to be protesting. i really enjoyed the video of the last protest, what little of it there actually is. i think derek did a really good job of handling his nerves in front of uniformed federal marshals. its easy to forget you actually have certain rights when there is someone waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye.

mummy returns and the mummy variants seem to be all over encore and starz recently. and goddamn if rachel weisz is not one of those women that just have that super feminine energy. source type shit. and it is trivial but how about the movies she is in? there is the mentioned mummies, the fountain, constantine... well i havent seen constantine but you could go to imdb yourself. i guess the will to create some mystique overrides actuality. either way, she really is gangbusters. certain chicks have it, right rosie?

so curious if artie lange will make it into work tomorrow if he watched all of the yankee game. what a boringly spectacular game 4. philly had the right idea to throw at a-rod. there is no better way to get in the head of a team. especially if you are at home and have rowdy, raving fans behind you. makes you feel strong. but nothing makes you feel stronger than overcoming those loud listless lunatics. and when the yankees went up 7-4 or some shit in the top of the 9th, and that whole fucking stadium sounded like a mortuary, it was the sound of the series ending. it was the sound of a beaten city. i dont want to get ahead of myself so thats all i will say. at least you fucked the giants right in the A, eh! eh!? ... oh

i forgot this link. if you remember back in the day of PC gaming there was a game called trespasser. it was super ambitious but a mega failure. this is some sort of "lets play" series where they play entire games with interesting commentary. this ones dang good.
