IL Medicaid Fraud Control Unit & State Police commit fraud on federal government to obtain millions

A state Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) is authorized by federal law to investigate Medicaid Fraud and obtain funding from the U.S. Dept. of Health and  Human Services (DHHS).

There are two different categories of states. In the first (44 states), the state's attorney general under the state's laws has jurisdiction and authority to investigate and prosecute Medicaid fraud. In the other group are states (six) where the state laws do NOT allow the state's attorney general (AG) to prosecute Medicaid fraud alone without approval of charges by another agency or permission from another agency. Illinois falls in the second category.

This is why, in Illinois, the IL MFCU is NOT in the IL AG's office, but is found in the Illinois Police Agency.  IL AG staff, however, are assigned to the MFCU. Asst. AG John Fearon and Murphy are the attached IL AAGs who are knowingly violating federal law and aiding and abetting this felony fraud and retaliation against federal witnesses to corruption.

In Illinois Medicaid fraud can be investigated by the MFCU, but all prosecutions must be done by the county states attorney, in state court, or the U.S. attorney, in federal court. The Illinois AG may consult and with an invitation and good reason may participate in such prosecutions. Only under extreme circumstances, with approval of charges by the county state's attorney and approval by the court, may the IL AG prosecute Medicaid fraud, without the participation of the county state's attorney.

The state MFCUs apply for certification with the Office of Inspector General DHHS (OIG-DHHS) as a MFCU under federal law and for federal funding. Writer/Shelton requested through the federal Freedom of Information Act (Fed-FOIA) a copy of the IL MFCU's applications for recertification from the OIG-DHHS in 2006.  Pres. Bush had actively discouraged government agencies from answering FOIA requests. However, Pres. Obama made an executive order requiring agencies follow the FOIA law. In 2010, Writer/Shelton, therefore, finally received these documents.

In them, the IL State Police Director states that in IL the AG may not prosecute Medicaid fraud and that they refer such prosecutions to the U.S. Attorney.  Yet, the IL AG has indicted Linda Shelton, PhD, MD, Vernon Glass, MS (psychology), Naomi Jennings (a nurse who directed a counseling group) and Maisha Hamilton, PhD (psychologist) for Medicaid Fraud falsely claiming they did not provide services and billed for them anyways.  Shelton was found not  guilty at trial, but financially made bankrupt, illegally thrown in jail during the six-year prosecution four times for contempt of court because she kept telling the court that they had no jurisdiction since the indictment was fraudulent and the AG had no jurisdiction to even bring the charges, and that she had not received ANY evidence from the state that she was involved in Medicaid fraud.  Two of the alleged contempts have already been overturned. Shelton was tortured and abused each time she was jailed.

Glass (Right Frame of Mind, PC) was bankrupted and died due to the stress before trial. He told Writer/Shelton, on his deathbed, impoverished by this wrongful prosecution, that he would stop taking his anti-organ rejection  drugs because he just couldn't take it anymore after Judge Alonso yelled at him that the trial was going to proceed even though he was sick (yellow skin, bloated belly, awaiting a second liver transplant). Judge Alonso was a heartless creep who should be removed from the bench. Glass died two weeks later.

As a person is denied payment from Medicaid for services rendered during the time they are awaiting trial, this essentially bankrupted Glass and Shelton. Although the constitution guarantees that a person may not have property (money) removed without due process of law under the 5th and 14th amendments, obviously this civil right isn't worth the paper it is written on. Our constitution means nothing now! We have to fight to get it back.

Jennings (Youth Empire Services) was wrongfully convicted and is suffering greatly from health consequences due to the stress. Hamilton (Hamilton Wholistic Health Care) was wrongfully found guilty, spent more than a year in jail, is impoverished and unable to work, having suffered a civil death, as has Writer/Shelton. Jennings, Shelton, Glass, and Hamilton were accused of ghost billing. The federal law allows doctors to bill for services of their employees as if they did the services themselves (like a nurse drawing blood or giving a vaccine). Yet AG Lisa Madigan claims that if a psychologist or psychiatric counselor provides services in a doctor's office that this is illegal  billing!  All services were  provided yet Madigan claimed that Jennings and Hamilton did not provide the services! IL AG Madigan has no authority to change federal law!

The IL MFCU application for recertification from 2001 that Writer/Shelton received in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, admits that the IL MFCU is federally funded and that the IL AG has NO JURISDICTION to prosecute Medicaid Fraud and that they refer all such cases to the U.S. Attorney or County State’s Attorney, can be seen here. You can read the application, the indictment against Writer/Shelton and see the forged signatures on documents allowing billing Medicaid under Writer/Shelton's name (not Writer/Shelton's signature and therefore proof of ID theft and proof they knew there was no probable cause to charge Writer/Shelton – Writer/Shelton got these documents from AG Madigan in discovery before trial) here.

This act of telling the OIG-DHHS in writing that the IL AG cannot prosecute Medicaid fraud and then obtaining millions to prosecute Medicaid fraud is an act of fraud upon the federal government, a felony, and proves the state of IL and the IL-MFCU with the attached employees of the IL AG are criminals.

Of note: The IL-MFCU and IL AG ONLY ILLEGALLY PROSECUTE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE OR CONSENT FROM THE COUNTY STATE'S ATTORNEY OR U.S. ATTORNEY alleged Medicaid fraud if the alleged offender is a whistle blower with evidence against corrupt officials, judges, or police. The fact that the IL AG ONLY prosecutes illegally whistle blowers like Jennings, Hamilton, Shelton, and Glass and refers legitimate prosecutions for Medicaid fraud to the U.S. Attorney,Writer/Shelton believes is proof that this is a felony conspiracy to violate rights under color of law; an act of retaliation against whistle blowers. This is a violation of the federal law, 18 U.S.C. sections 241 and 242 (felony violation of civil rights under color of law and felony  conspiracy to violate such rights).

In Hamilton's case, we have proof that the MFCU investigator, William Reibel forged the name of a physician, in Hamilton's handwriting on many bills submitted for psychological services to Medicaid. He cut out handwriting examplars and pasted them on the bills then faxed them to t he IL crime lab. Hamilton was forced to sign a doctor's name 40 times on a sheet of paper for the investigation.

In Shelton's and Glass' case, a year before she worked at Right Frame of Mind, PC, after Glass had given Louise Moore of DataMedical Works (a billing company) Shelton's Medicaid provider number so Moore could register Shelton's new work address with the state for billing purposes in anticipation of Shelton working for the group practice, two women working for Glass and without Glass' knowledge made fake bills and submitted them to Moore, who without Shelton's consent forged Shelton's name on electronic data transfer agreements with state billing agencies and on a power of attorney form. This allowed Moore to send in bills using Shelton's Medicaid provider number as the service provider without Shelton's or Glass' knowledge or consent.

All fake bills using Shelton's  ID number in an act of ID theft, were submitted while Shelton was in neurosurgery or recovering from such for spinal stenosis and spinal cord injury in July 2000 and for the next year! The IL AG and IL MFCU were grossly incompetent and malicious in their prosecution of Shelton. Judge Pantle and Judge Alonso were grossly malicious and incompetent in allowing this illegal prosecution in which the IL AG had no jurisdiction to bring the charges and therefore the court had no jurisdiction to try the case.

The real perpetrators of this fraud, Itadel Shalabi and Nareman Taha, along with Louise Moore of Data MedicalWorks have never been arrested or charged.

The FBI, US. Attorney, IL State Police are fully aware of all this information. They have done NOTHING to overturn the convictions of Jennings and Hamilton and to hold the IL MFCU, Inv. William Reibel, AG Madigan, Louise Moore, Itadel Shalabi or Nareman Taha accountable. Obviously the administration is NOT serious about Medicaid fraud and is allowing fraudulent prosecutions for use as retaliation against whistle blowers who have evidence of corruption among President Obama's friends. This is a disgrace and proves we live in a totalitarian police state.

Destroying the agencies: Hamilton Wholistic Healthcare, Right Frame of Mind, PC, and Youth Empire Services, severely impacted the provision of mental health care to Medicaid recipients on the South and Southwest side of the Chicago area.  Lack of mental health care increases family break-ups, increases reliance on government assistance, increases crime, and hurts the long-term mental health of children.  It is disgusting that the IL AG, Judges Pantle and Alonso, and so many other government officials and police are and have conspired to destroy mental health service providers and their clients, perhaps just to save the state money and decrease the cost to the  state of mental health services. This is penny wise and pound foolish.  Eventually they will be exposed and huge damages will be owed those that suffered from this corruption.

Chief Judge Timothy Evans Asked to Resign

STOP ILLINOIS CORRUPTION
Linda Lorincz Shelton, Ph.D., M.D.
Founder and Director
708 952-0040

April 19, 2009

Chief Judge Timothy Evans
Circuit Court of Cook County
50 W. Washington, Rm 2600
Chicago, IL 60602

Dear Judge Evans:

Thank you for your response letter of April 20, 2009. I understand your concerns not to involve yourself in judicial decisions concerning other judges. However, decisions on indigency petitions are not judicial decisions. They are administrative decisions. As chief administrator of the courts you are responsible for the employees under you including the judges, the clerk, and the court reporters. As you have now willfully refused to do your job and actually are condoning many criminal acts committed by judges under you, the Sheriff’s staff, the Court Clerk, and the Court Reporters, I MUST NOW ASK ON BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS OF COOK COUNTY FOR YOUR RESIGNATION. It is not acceptable for the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County to engage in willful denial of due process on such a large scale, and at the same time to abdicate his responsibility as an administrator. The net result of your crimes is that you are participating in running the Circuit Court of Cook County as a criminal enterprise.

It is clear from your previous responses to my concerns that you have no intention of doing your job as an administrator. Your court reporters have defied and still are defying court orders to prepare and file transcripts in 05 CR 29530 [correction - 05 CR 12718]. The Illinois Appellate Court has also violated their oaths of office and the law by failing to enforce Judge Kazmierski’s order to prepare free transcripts and file them. Therefore, Federal Judge Coar has ruled in 09 C 105, a habeas corpus petition on this case, that the Appellate Court through their actions has waived the right of the State of Illinois to insist I exhaust State remedies with direct appeals and a petition for habeas before the Illinois Supreme Court. He is hearing my habeas petition on this [wrongful] conviction where a Cook County Correctional Officer, Sgt. Anthony Salemi, attacked me, falsified his records, perjured himself in court, and the Judge, Kazmierski, committed gross judicial misconduct and the prosecutors, Andrew Dalkin and John Maher committed gross prosecutorial misconduct resulting in an unfair trial denying me due process. Then Judge Kazmierski illegally sentenced me to two years in IDOC, refused to stay sentence pending appeal, in violation of U.S. Supreme Court Holding in Cunningham v. California, 127 S. Ct. 856 (2007). I fully expect to be vindicated and for the Sgt. to be arrested and convicted of official misconduct and other crimes and for the prosecutors to be charged with prosecutorial misconduct and punished appropriately. Judge Kazmierski should be disciplined and I intend to find a way to hold him accountable in a court of law or before the JIB and press.

Judge Maddux is running a criminal enterprise called the Law Division, which denies pro se litigants in particularly the constitutional rights to redress of grievances and due process. He does this by running an illegal and unconstitutional operation called the “Black Line Trial System” of which you are fully aware and condone. He also illegally denies indigent petition and then violates law by ordering his clerks not to promptly give the litigant a copy of their petition and his order concerning the petition. I have now publicized this misconduct and criminal RICO violation on the Internet. As you know Sheila Mannix has also documented and publicized the RICO operation run by the Family Court Division and its judges, which you apparently also condone. See:

Judge William D Maddux, in collusion with Sheriff Dart and Clerk Dorothy Brown, as well as with approval of Chief Judge Timothy Evans runs the Law Division of the Circuit Court of Cook Count as a Criminal Enterprise in violation of RICO. The following has been provided to the FBI and posted on my blogs:

http://illinoiscorruption.blogspot.com/2009/05/judge-maddux-runs-law-division-cook.html

Circuit Court of Cook County Family Division is Criminal Enterprise and committing RICO violations. See federal RICO suit brought by Dr. Sheila Mannix:

1:09-cv-00103

Dorothy Brown’s Clerk’s Office has violated Supreme Court Rules and failed to transmit a notice of appeal in a criminal case, as well as has refused to pepare a record of appeal in that case, along with permitting and condoning her staff in stealing court files from pro se litigants, extorting money from indigent litigants, and causing false arrest of indigent llitigants, as noted in above Internet blogs. As you are fully aware of these crimes and have failed to act to stop further crimes and remedy the above, you are aiding and abetting in such criminal acts, as well as attempting to cover them up.

You are also fully informed that Judge Schultz, Gainer, Alonso, Pantle, Beibel have blatantly violated law, including Illinois Supreme Court Rules and United States Supreme Court Holdings. I also have evidence of misconduct of at least a half dozen other judges including Judges Kuriakos Ciecil, Brosnahan, Petrone, and Donnelly.

http://illinoiscorruption.blogspot.com/2008/12/lawless-corrupt-incompetent-wacko-cook_04.html

As Chief Judge of the Circuit Court you are responsible for referring judicial misconduct to the JIB and you have failed to do so. You are also responsible for judicial assignments, yet you leave judges who blatantly violate the law in positions of authority and supervision over other judges. Your failure to do you job is not only irresponsible, but I believe purposeful.

I have also fully informed the FBI about the above schemes and crimes, as well as your refusal to do your job. I believe these acts amount to felony theft of honest services, felony conspiracy to violate rights under color of law, felony violation of rights under color of law, obstruction of justice, extortion, fraud, official misconduct, and wire fraud, as well as other crimes including felony RICO violations.

I respectfully therefore, as a citizen on behalf of the people of Cook County ask for your resignation as Chief Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County.

Sincerely,
Linda Lorincz Shelton, Ph.D., M.D.

Dr Shelton NOT GUILTY - IL Attorney General Corrupt, Judicial Corruption, Denial Mental Health Care to Persons on Medicaid

Linda Lorincz Shelton, Ph.D, M.D.
STOP ILLINOIS CORRUPTION
Founder and Director
picepil@aol.com

February 27, 2009
Special Agent Robert Grant
Director Chicago – FBI
2111 West Roosevelt Road
Chicago, IL 60608-1128

Dear Dir. Grant:

I am writing to further inform you about the dysfunctional status and unconstitutional conduct of the Illinois Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, as well as to inform you about the facts pertaining to evidence I have of a crime of Medicaid Fraud including violation of 18 U.S.C. 371 mail fraud, 18 U.S.C. 1341 filing false claims, and 18 U.S.C. 287 fraudulent claims, a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1347 health care fraud. I strongly suggest that your office take over all Medicaid fraud prosecutions and investigations being done by the IL MFCU and the IL Attorney General immediately, as well as review the wrongful convictions of Dr. Maisha Hamilton Bennett and Naomi Jennings by these incompetent corrupt officials.

As you know, I was under indictment for the falsely alleged state crime of Medicaid vendor fraud. Please be informed that I was found NOT GUILTY by a jury. After unconstitutional rulings by Circuit Court of Cook Co Judge Alonso that fixed my trial and made wrongful conviction certain unless there was jury nullification I didn't show up for my State trial on Medicaid vendor fraud for which I am innocent. The jury made a finding of NOT GUILTY and Judge Alonso quashed the warrant for arrest on the basis of jumping bail and disobeying his orders because he said "what's the point." Your office has engaged in defamation against me including claiming that I have a mental health problem and that I am psychotic about corrupt officials being after me. Maybe you should change your tune and take me more seriously as if you don’t eventually your incompetence will be revealed and much evidence I and others have will have been ignored.

Now why don't you read what I sent you and get the Cook County State's attorney to arrest Itadel Shalabi and Nareman Taha for perjury [they are the ones who fabricated bills for Medicaid to get payment for patients they didn't see] and indict Louise Moore of Data Medical Works for Medicaid fraud [she bills for her billing services for the last ten years by percentage (8 %) which amounts to fraud as you know] and also for forgery as she forged my name on a power of attorney form, blue cross/blue shield electronic partner trading agreement, and alternate payee agreement so that Moore could put my name as a doctor and my Medicaid provider number on the invoices sent to Medicaid for services not done and encounter forms fabricated by Shalabi and Taha, and then Shalabi and Taha who were partners of Vernon Glass the CEO , could sign checks to themselves when the money came into the business Right Frame of Mind & Associates.

Why don't you arrest MFCU Inv. Reibel for falsifying his records and take over all Medicaid Fraud investigations in IL before the dysfunctional MFCU mucks up any more? Vernon Glass is innocent too, yet he must also stand trial? I want to talk to you and give you all the evidence which I now have to prove the above. What's wrong with you?

Read my blog: http://illinoiscorruption.blogspot.com/ for more details, as well as all the documents I have sent you in the past five years or so.

Why aren't you going after Lisa Madigan and other members of the real cabal of corruption in Illinois? As I told you, only a "Truth Commission" will really bring the light of day to corruption so it can no longer thrive. Why are you and the U.S. Attorney being so sloppy and ignoring your best witnesses such as Vernon Glass, Maisha Hamilton, me [Dr Linda Shelton] and so many others I can refer you too. The cabal has been destroying us as witnesses by falsely accusing us of crimes or defaming us with false accusation of mental illness. You and the U.S. Attorney are puppets of this cabal by your ignorance and actions ignoring us and feeding these false rumors.

Unbelievably, the jury was a group of well educated individuals who lived primarily in downtown Chicago. They saw through the lies of the prosecutor and the judge's unconstitutional rulings and came back with a verdict of NOT GUILTY. Then the judge gave up, said "what's the point" [of the arrest warrant he issued on 2-18-09 when I refused to come to the trial and disappeared".] He then quashed the arrest warrant.

So now I am home and I will pursue a suit for malicious prosecution, wrongful arrest, conspiracy to violate rights under color of law and violation of civil rights against the sham prosecutor IL Atty Gen Lisa Madigan who had no legal authority to usurp the powers of the State's Attorney and indict or prosecute anyone. The Constitution and laws in Illinois specify that ONLY the State's Attorney can decide charges, indict and prosecute most crimes. The AG is given authority by law to alone prosecute about 8 crimes such as gambling and environmental crimes. Medicaid vendor fraud is NOT one of them.

The SA was never involved in this case. Since the IL AG had no jurisdiction, the court had no jurisdiction. Therefore, the prosecutor and the judge lose absolute immunity. Lack of jurisdiction is the only reason they lose immunity. So I have a suit in federal court now against IL AG Madigan, Judge Pantle, Judge Alonso, and the State Police personal at the IL Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. I wish the US Attorney would get involved as the IL MFCU is so sloppy at investigations that they arrest the wrong people, destroy evidence against the real criminals and allow themselves to be used as a weapon against whistle blowers for political benefit.

I am astonished that you have not interviewed Dr. Maisha Hamilton Bennett, who was wrongfully convicted of Medicaid fraud, Naomi Jennings who was wrongfully convicted, me (Dr Linda Shelton) or Vernon Glass on the issue of wrongfully alleged Medicaid fraud in Illinois and the illegal and unconstitutional actions of the IL MFCU as well as the scheme by IL Government to deny mental health care to patients on Medicaid.

Denial of mental health care to those on Medicaid violates federal Medicaid law. This is a big economic issue as failure to treat mental health care increases crime, welfare costs, and Medicaid costs. You are contributing to economic failure by failing to properly deal with this issue! This is also an act of felony violation of civil rights and ADA violations by IL Government! Why aren’t you acting?

As you know, I am always available and ready to talk with you and discuss the evidence I mention above. Why don’t you do your job? Please share this with U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald.

Thank you for your time in consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,

Linda Lorincz Shelton, Ph.D., M.D.

Criminal Acts IL Attorney General Lisa Madigan & Judge Kathleen Pantle

I believe the following Petitions to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division provide evidence of the felony conduct of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Cook County Circuit Court Judge Kathleen Pantle. Specifically their crimes are as follows and they should be prosecuted:



IL AG Madigan:



1. felony conspiracy to violate rights under color of law in conspiring with Bill Bradley, IL State Police Investigator William Reibel, Patrick Keenan, Nicholas Cozzolino, John Fearon, Patrick Murphy, and Judges Kathleen Pantle, Jorge Alonso, and Lon Schultz, as well as other unnamed or unknown individuals to intentionally retaliating against those who are whistle blowers against government corruption in Illinois and Cook County in that she conspired to illegally prosecute providers of mental health services to those on Medicaid so as to deny care for mental health services to those on Medicaid - this is a gross violation of her oath of office in that prosecutions without personal or subject-matter jurisdiction are forbidden;



2. violation of civil rights under color of law as above;



3. aiding and abetting felony forgery in that she permitted Inv. Reibel to forge the signatures of Dr. Maisha Hamilton on alleged fraudulent bills for psychiatric services used to indict Dr. Hamilton by cutting out the handwriting exemplars produced by Dr. Hamilton and placing them on phony bills which were faxed to the crime lab in Illinois;



4. felony subornation of perjury in that she and her staff assisted Inv. Reibel in making false statements to the grand juries that indicted Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Shelton, Naomi Jennings, and Mr. Glass, including false statements about the law and about evidence;



5. violating her oath of office in prosecuting Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Shelton, Naomi Jennings, and Mr. Glass for Medicaid Vendor Fraud without jurisdiction and in violation of the United States Federal Medicaid Code and the Constitution's Supremecy Clause, as well as prosecuting these persons when she had evidence they were not guilty of the alleged acts;



6. malicious prosecution against Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Shelton, Naomi Jennings, and Mr. Glass in that all these persons were whistle blowers against corruption in Illinois government and these fraudulent and malicious prosecutions amounted to retaliation for exposing the criminal conduct of members of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, as well as officials in the City of Chicago, County of Cook, and State of Illinois;



7. permitting her attorneys, namely AAGs Fearon, Murray, and Nimrod to grossly violate due process in not only prosecuting these persons without subject matter or personal jurisdiction, but also in doing so in a process indicative of gross prosecutorial misconduct in violating many rights required by due process under the Constitution;



8. other unnamed or unknown criminal acts.



Judge Kathleen Pantle:



1. felony conspiracy to violate civil rights under color of law as above;



2. violation of civil rights under color of law as above;



3. violation of her oath of office in blatantly violating the IL Constitution in incarceration Dr. Shelton on December 14, 2005 without legal process and with no bail, without a legal charge, and then repeating this act on January 6, 2006, while snubbing her nose at the IL Appellate
Court order freeing Dr. Shelton and overturning the previous illegal incarceration order, again without legal process and without formal charge or conviction, this time with an excessive and unconstitutional $500,000 bail;



4. kidnapping Dr. Shelton and Mr. Glass in that she held them for trial on fraudulent vendor fraud charges without personal or subject matter jurisdiction;



5. slavery concerning Dr. Shelton in jailing her without legal process in violation of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution;



6. other unnamed or unknown offenses as described by the following documents.

Political Trials (Hits) - Still Alive and Well in 21st Century American [In] Justice

Protecting Defendants Charged for Political Reasons

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE DOUGLAS IN 1970 - "Does the answer to the problem of political trials involve defining the procedure for conducting political trials or does it involve the designing of constitutional methods for putting an end to them? . . . . It will be time enough to resolve those weighty problems when a political trial reaches this Court for review."

THE TIME MAY BE NOW!

The State of Illinois through first Attorney General Jim Ryan and now Attorney General Lisa Madigan along with incompetent, ignorant, and/or corrupt officials in Illinois Medicaid including Bill Bradley, Investigator Reibel in the State Police, and Patrick Keenan in the State Police Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, with tacit approval by many other corrupt officials in the State of Illinois, have perpetrated a scheme for ten years to deny mental health services for persons on Medicaid in violation of the Federal Medicaid Code. See my other posts on Medicaid on

http://illinoiscorruption.blogspot.com/2008/10/criminal-scheme-of-il-attorney-general.html .

In order to falsely advertise that she is "tough on fraud" so that she can advance her personal political ambitions, Lisa Madigan continues to fraudulently and without legal authorization indict outstanding providers of mental health services to Medicaid patients. Judges Schultz, Fox, Pantle, Alonso, and Egan have participated in these void and illegal prosecutions and done great harm to the citizens of Illinois in their illegal acts of violation the United States Constitution, in aiding and abetting this violation of federal law and civil rights.

I have been one of the persons illegally indicted and defamed, presently awaiting trial over a period of four long years. The harm to me, my patients, and my family is immeasurable and painful. I have persistly legally and appropriately through the legal process of at first representing myself and filing scholarly motions proving that higher court precedence (stare decisis) does NOT PERMIT this kind of persecution for political gain, and that my case is null and void ab initio (from the start).

I have been punished for vigorously advocating for my constitutional rights to redress of grievances and due process (including the right not to be tried for something that is not a crime) for four years with four incarcerations for contempt (two thrown out by the Illinois Appellate Court - pepetrated by Dishonorable Judge Pantle), one presently before Hon. Judge Coar in federal district court on a habeas corpus petition (asking the court to vacate and expunge the conviction on the basis of violation of constitutional rights and voidness - pepetrated by Dishonorable Judge Pantle), and one in limbo - dismissed for want of prosecution, but potentially can reinvigorate the appeal later (perpetrated by Dishonorable Judge Alonso).

I have been beaten, tortured, and medically neglected during these incarcerations and when I protested, a correctional officer, Sgt. Anthony Salemi, came into my cell and committed assault and battery against me. He falsified his records and I was charged and convicted of aggravated battery to an officer for allegedly "ramming him with my wheelchair" causing a skinned shin, and "kicking him in the chest with my RIGHT leg" causing soreness. This was impossible for me to do do to a partial RIGHT hemiparesis and extreme weakness secondary to dehydration caused by mendical neglect. I was sentenced to two years despite no criminal record and was released from Dwight penitentiary after being tortured on March 31, 2008. I was punished and placed in solitary confinement for 6 months because I refused to walk (I was unable to due to my disability) and forced to swim in my diarrhea on a 2 inch mattress with no sheets or clothes for days, except for a roughly quilted velcro smock and blanket, without toilet paper, without water (I was too week to get myself up to the water fountain at the sink or the toilet). The United States Attorney has been informed and so far has done NOTHING! My weight dropped from 171 lbs to 127 lbs and by the time I was released I couldn't even sit up because of severe dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. I was immediately taken to an emergency room and treated. The incompetent and barbaric sadists and psychopaths in Dwight's medical department had insisted I was faking my medical problems.

Due to my protests, all reasonable and responsible and polite, I have been illegally and immoraly denied self-representation by Judges Pantle and now Alonso without legal authority in violation of my constitutional rights. I am being prosecuted for political reasons as a whistle blower. I testified against now convict and ex-Governor George Ryan in a class action suit for illegally denying 73 million dollars in funds for the care of handicapped children. I have won suits against Sheriff Sheahan in C[r]ook County for violating the American with Disabilities Act. I have won suits against the State of Illinois for failing to investigate barbaric and illegal abuse of mental health patients/inmates at Cook County Jail, and I have numerous pro se civil rights, mandamus, and injuctive suits pending in federal and state court against these corrupt officials. I am a target of the corrupt cabal in Illinois and C[r]ook County.

Justice Douglas in Illinois v. Allen, 397 U.S.337 wrote the following in a concurring opinion, which is very much on point. My case is ripe for Hon. Juge Coar to address in this manner in the federal district court. It is a political case! This quote, by Justice Douglas in his opinion, about Penn is fascinating and you everyone should enjoy it!.

HOWEVER IT IS SAD THAT IN THE 21ST CENTURY IN ILLINOIS, CITIZENS WHO ARE DOING NOTHING BUT PROVIDING MUCH NEEDED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO THE NEEDY, WHO HAVE DEVOTED THEIR LIVES TO SERVICE, AND WHO VALUE OUR CONSTITUTION, ARE STILL THE TARGET OF POLITICAL ATTACKS IN A MOST VICIOUS AND BRUTAL MANNER!

THIS IS WHY I ASK FOR THE HELP OF THE PUBLIC TO FUND MY DEFENSE AND TO HELP ME CONTINUE TO HELP OTHERS DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION.

See link at the right on this blog if you wish to help.
________________________________________________________________________QUOTED FROM CONCURRING OPINION BY JUSTICE DOUGLAS IN ILLINOIS V. ALLEN, 397 U.S. 337 (1970):

Our real problems of this type lie not with this case, but with other kinds of trials. First are the political trials. They frequently recur in our history, [Footnote 2/2] and, insofaras they take place in federal courts, we have broad supervisory powers over them. That is one setting where the question arises whether the accused has rights of confrontation that the law invades at its peril.

In Anglo-American law, great injustices have at times been done to unpopular minorities by judges, as well as by prosecutors. I refer to London in 1670, when William Penn, the gentle Quaker, was tried for causing a riot when all that he did was to preach a sermon on Grace Church Street, his church having been closed under the Conventicle Act:

"Penn. I affirm I have broken no law, nor am I Guilty of the indictment that is laid to my charge, and to the end the bench, the jury, and myself, with these that hear us, may have a more direct understanding of this procedure, I desire you would let me know by what law it is you prosecute me, and upon what law you ground my indictment."

"Rec. Upon the common law."

"Penn. Where is that common law?"

"Rec. You must not think that I am able to run up so many years, and over so many adjudged cases, which we call common law, to answer your curiosity."

"Penn. This answer I am sure is very short of my question, for if it be common, it should not be so hard to produce."

"Rec. Sir, will you plead to your indictment?"

"Penn. Shall I plead to an Indictment that hath no foundation in law? If it contain that law you say I have broken, why should you decline to produce that law, since it will be impossible for the jury to determine, or agree to bring in their verdict, who have not the law produced by which they should measure the truth of this indictment, and the guilt, or contrary of my fact? "

"Rec. You are a saucy fellow; speak to the Indictment."

"Penn. I say, it is my place to speak to matter of law; I am arraigned a prisoner; my liberty, which is next to life itself, is now concerned: you are many mouths and ears against me, and if I must not be allowed to make the best of my case, it is hard, I say again, unless you shew me, and the people, the law you ground your indictment upon, I shall take it for granted your proceedings are merely arbitrary."

"Rec. The question is whether you are Guilty of this Indictment?"

"Penn. The question is not whether I am Guilty of this Indictment, but whether this Indictment be legal. It is too general and imperfect an answer, to say it is the common law unless we knew both where and what it is. For where there is no law, there is no transgression, and that law which is not in being is so far from being common that it is no law at all."

"Rec. You are an impertinent fellow, will you teach the court what law is? It is 'Lex non scripta,' that which many have studied 30 or 40 years to know, and would you have me to tell you in a moment?"

"Penn. Certainly, if the common law be so hard to be understood, it is far from being very common; but if the lord Coke in his Institutes be of any consideration, he tells us, That Common Law is common right, and that Common Right is the Great Charter-Privileges"

"Rec. Sir, you are a troublesome fellow, and it is not for the honour of the court to suffer you to go on. "

"Penn. I have asked but one question, and you have not answered me; though the rights and privileges of every Englishman be concerned in it."

"Rec. If I should suffer you to ask questions till tomorrow morning, you would be never the wiser."

"Penn. That is according as the answers are."

"Rec. Sir, we must not stand to hear you talk all night."

"Penn. I design no affront to the court, but to be heard in my just plea: and I must plainly tell you that, if you will deny me Oyer of that law, which you suggest I have broken, you do at once deny me an acknowledged right, and evidence to the whole world your resolution to sacrifice the privileges of Englishmen to your sinister and arbitrary designs."

"Rec. Take him away. My lord, if you take not some course with this pestilent fellow to stop his mouth, we shall not be able to do anything tonight."

"Mayor. Take him away, take him away, turn him into the bale-dock. [Footnote 2/3]"

The Trial of William Penn, 3 How.St.Tr. 951, 958-959.

The panel of judges who tried William Penn were sincere, law-and-order men of their day. Though Penn was acquitted by the jury, he was jailed by the court for his contemptuous conduct. Would we tolerate removal of a defendant from the courtroom during a trial because he was insisting on his constitutional rights, albeit vociferously, no matter how obnoxious his philosophy might have been to the bench that tried him? Would we uphold contempt in that situation?
Problems of political indictments and of political judges raise profound questions going to the heart of the social compact. For that compact is two-sided: majorities undertake to press their grievances within limits of the Constitution and in accord with its procedures; minorities agree to abide by constitutional procedures in resisting those claims.

Does the answer to that problem involve defining the procedure for conducting political trials or does it involve the designing of constitutional methods for putting an end to them? This record is singularly inadequate to answer those questions. It will be time enough to resolve those weighty problems when a political trial reaches this Court for review.

ONE THING IS FOR SURE - HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF!
