<h3>

While my priority remains as it should as to the very large and substantial RICO action venued in the Second Circuit, District of Connecticut, involving far more egregious wrongful and unlawful conduct than that involved in the relatively small california case, plaintiff/appellant does not intend to roll over in what remains of this californiamatter (although plaintiff/appellant has substantially compromised the amount demanded to the sum-certain reduced amount requested herein to facilitate resolution hereof).

</h3>

<h3> As a show of good faith and in the interest of comity toward resolution of the federal RICO action and even this simple and relatively small action, I had refrained from updating and disseminating my site [interestingly, Sam Alito, who has committed RICO violations in burying inculpatory RICO related documents while u.s. attorney, is apparently being "rewarded" yet again for his protective complicity (see RICO documents in U.S. Files herein:

I wonder what FBI Agent Barndollar (sent documents) is thinking (FBI are the only federal employees that don't take bribes, one way or another, and whom I based upon experience, and others should, trust)]. Polling suggests the people trust neither republicans (11% approval) nor democrats (15%) with 73% saying there's little difference (note democrat senate minority leader harry reed refuses to return the abramoff money. What about u.s."top gun", "The Duke" - aptly played by mental case scientologist cruise). I wonder about the probably unanimous vote of a raise (congress) for jobs poorly done; ie., deficits, trade and budget, $2 trillion price tag on the illegal, criminal war in Iraq (including prospective vet.admin. payouts, etc.), etc. That $21.5 billion in bonuses (plus profits, costs, expenses, salaries, etc.) to the wall street frauds (that money) has to come from some place [Only A Small Fraction Of What wall street Does Is A Net Positive For The Economy (New Investment Capital), The Rest Is Tantamount To A (Economically) "Wasteful Tax" (On The Economy) via 'churn and earn' computerized programmed trades]. Note the

<H3> With All the Talk and Focus on "Homeland Security", the Fact is that California is the Lawless 'Homieland' (negroe, hispanic gangs/criminals, radical jews/criminals(ie., irv rubin, etc.), that is Neither Fit for Life, Investment, Nor Business (new jersey and other parts of the northeast are similarly bad). California, like the aforesaid denizens, is obscene; that is, utterly without redeeming social value (legal definition).

Gang Crime and Law Enforcement Recordkeeping

by G. David Curry, Richard A. Ball, and Robert J.

Fox

-------------------

EXCERPT

'Of the police departments reporting gang crime

problems, almost all said they recorded the race or

ethnicity of gang members. As with other types of

data noted above, there was a difference between

recording information and being able to report that

information in summary form. Of the 72 large city

police departments reporting gang crime problems,

only 25 (35 percent) provided statistics on the

ethnicity of identified gang members; of the 38

smaller cities, only 12 (32 percent) provided

statistics on ethnicity. The ethnic

composition of gang members in these cities

remains predominantly black (48 percent) and

Hispanic (43 percent). The black groups were made

up primarily of African-Americans but also included

Jamaicans and blacks of other countries.'

The Color of Crime: a report on 1994 crime statistics, the most recent available.

Major Findings:

<ul>

<li> There is more black-on-white than black-on-black violent crime. </li>

<li> Of the approximately 1,700,000 interracial crimes of violence involving blacks and whites, 90 percent are committed by blacks against whites. Blacks are therefore up to 250 times more likely to do criminal violence to whites than the reverse.</li>

<li> Blacks commit violent crimes at four to eight times the white rate. Hispanics commit violent crimes at approximately three times the white rate, and Asians at one half to three quarters the white rate.</li>

<li> Blacks are twice as likely as whites to commit hate crimes.</li>

<li> Hispanics are a hate crime victim category but not a perpetrator category. Hispanic offenders are classified as whites, which inflates the white offense rate and gives the impression that Hispanics commit no hate crimes.</li>

<li> Blacks are as much more dangerous than whites as men are more dangerous than women.</li>

</ul>

Conquest of the Southwest (California) by Any Means.

The ravings of Al Quaeda or other terrorists? No. Should you be alarmed? A resounding YES!

"They (MEChA) stand for Chicano power, the 'reqonquista' for Aztlan that's their little phrase for the Southwest United States and that the United States was stolen from Mexico, and they're going to reconquer it."

"General membership shall consist of any student who accepts, believes and works for the goals and objectives of MEChA, including the liberation of AZTLAN, meaning self-determination of our people in this occupied state and the physical liberation of our land."

California politicians who have never renounced their membership in the organization include Lieutenant Governor and current ex-officio UC Regent Cruz Bustamente, former State Assembly Speaker and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Antonio Villaraigosa, State Assemblyman Gil Cadillo and State Sen. Joe Baca.

'PRAVDA POT CALLS AMERICAN KETTLE BLACK'

"Great Lies of the American free press - 05/23/2005

The Bush dictatorship often uses Adolph Hitler's "great lie theory" - the political tactic where a leader fabricates "great lies"

The Bush dictatorship also discovered a residual benefit of the "great lie theory": People are often so myopic or so embarrassed by their gullibility that, even after the "great lies" are exposed, they would rather reward the liar than acknowledge the lie....." While I too Appropriately Disparage the american Press/Media, It Should Be

Emphasized to the Pathetic/Dumb Russkies That the american Press/Media Is Not Free, Is Censored/Controlled Implicitly (Pressure, Economic and otherwise) and Explicitly, But that the Russian "Press/Media" Is Even More A Joke and A Fraud, If That Can Even Be Fathomed, With The Failed Communist Years, Which Cost the Entire World Substantially, Living Testament to that Reality!

I also agree that the dictator/war criminal(s) bush and company must be prosecuted and removed from office!

3-3-06: As a show of good faith and comity (prior to the typical abomination of a ruling contrary to clear law) I briefly set forth the following optimal u.s. course and care little whether same is followed:

<ul>

<li>the criminal state of israel formerly led by king of the jews/terrorist sharon/ now vegetable as he should be, is not the ally of any nation but israel </li>

<li> by merely enforcing international law as to the Christ-killing jews, america would cut the anti-american sentiment in half; by enforcing the oslo accords and finalizing the palestinian nation state, an additional 25percent reduction; by eliminating israel, (ie., for killing 34 american sailors, illegally stockpiling nuclear weapons, spying on america, contriving america's anti-Arab conflicts, etc.), america's future in the most positive sense would be secured </li>

<li>as incompetent as the republicans are, the democrats (who voted for the war, etc.) were, are, and would fair worse for the nation if they were majority in congress (the terrorists/criminals within would love it - no position on presidency yet and premature) as they conveniently forget the very source of China's economic preeminence/surplus as payback by clinton for financing clinton (ie., John Huang, communist Peoples Party, etc.), squandering the cold war victory (peace dividend) and consequent goodwill/surplus, made u.s. a global laughing stock, covered up numerous crimes and even (had them) killed americans to do so, gave "terrorists" raison d'etre with 'wag the dog' bombings, etc..</li>

<li> Cheney should be forced to resign immediately and be replaced by George macacawitz Allen, VA ( latest reports indicate he is part jewish which makes his positions relative to the mideast highly suspect, thus disqualifying him from consideration 10-5-06), or Mitt Romney, MA, in that precise order of preference.</li>

<li>After the mid-term elections, bush should be forced to resign - he's a war criminal, brain damaged and excessively and embarrassingly dumb, incompetent, and never really wanted to be president in the first place (global criminal cabal daddy hoover bush's idea).</li>

U.S. troops kill pregnant woman in Iraq

By KIM GAMEL, Associated Press Writer

Wed May 31, 11:03 PM ET

BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. forces killed two Iraqi women one of them about to give birth when the troops shot at a car that failed to stop at an observation post in a city north of Baghdad, Iraqi officials and relatives said Wednesday. Nabiha Nisaif Jassim, 35, was being raced to the maternity hospital in Samarra by her brother when the shooting occurred Tuesday.

Haditha inquiry finds false reports: Washington Post

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. military inquiry into whether Marines tried to cover up the killings of Iraqi civilians in Haditha will conclude that some officers gave false reports to their superiors, who then failed to scrutinize the information, according to a newspaper report on Thursday.

The Washington Post, citing an unidentified Army official, said the three-month investigation was also expected to call for changes in how U.S. troops are trained for duty in Iraq.

The investigation is one of two ongoing military probes into the November 19 killings of 24 men, women and children in the town of Haditha, 125 miles northwest of Baghdad in an area that has seen much activity by Sunni Arab insurgents.

The newspaper reported that the Army official said there were multiple failures but declined to say whether he would characterize it as a 'coverup' as alleged by Rep. John Murtha (news, bio, voting record).

The Pennsylvania Democrat, a decorated retired Marine, is a vocal critic of the war in Iraq.....

US lawmaker John Murtha, pictured 22 May 2006, said that US Marines tried to "cover-up" the killings in November of some 24 unarmed civilians in the Iraqi town of Haditha.

Probe finds Haditha killings unprovoked Reuters - Wed May 31, 4:41 PM ET

A video provided to Reuters on March 21, 2006 by Hamourabi Human rights group shows bodies being loaded onto a truck, which Hamourabi says is of bodies of a family of 15 shot dead in their home in Haditha, in western Anbar province.

Report: False testimony in Haditha probe By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer

Military investigators have evidence that points toward unprovoked murders by Marines in the Iraqi town of Haditha, a senior defense official said last week.

A U.S. military investigation will conclude that some officers gave false testimony to their superiors, The Washington Post reported on its Web site Wednesday night. The superiors then failed to scrutinize reports adequately, the Post reported.

bribe Iraqis and line contractors' pockets.<span style='font-family:

by Philip Giraldi

When the final page is written on America's catastrophic imperial venture, one

word will dominate the explanation of U.S. failure?corruption. Large-scale and

pervasive corruption meant that available resources could not be used to

stabilize and secure Iraq in the early days of the Coalition Provisional

Authority (CPA), when it was still possible to do so. Continuing corruption

meant that the reconstruction of infrastructure never got underway, giving the

Iraqi people little incentive to co-operate with the occupation. Ongoing

corruption in arms procurement and defense spending means that Baghdad will

never control a viable army while the Shiite and Kurdish militias will grow

stronger and produce a divided Iraq in which constitutional guarantees will be

irrelevant.

The American-dominated Coalition Provisional Authority

could well prove to be the most corrupt administration in history, almost

certainly surpassing the widespread fraud of the much-maligned UN Oil for Food

Program. At least $20 billion that belonged to the Iraqi people has been

wasted, together with hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars. Exactly

how many billions of additional dollars were squandered, stolen, given away, or

simply lost will never be known because the deliberate decision by the CPA not

to meter oil exports means that no one will ever know how much revenue was

generated during 2003 and 2004.

Some of the corruption grew out of the misguided neoconservative agenda for

Iraq, which meant that a serious reconstruction effort came second to doling

out the spoils to the war?s most fervent supporters. The CPA brought in scores

of bright, young true believers who were nearly universally unqualified. Many

were recruited through the Heritage Foundation website, where they had posted

their r鳵m鳮 They were paid six-figure salaries out of Iraqi funds, and most

served in 90-day rotations before returning home with their war stories. One

such volunteer was Simone Ledeen, daughter of leading neoconservative Michael

Ledeen. Unable to communicate in Arabic and with no relevant experience or

appropriate educational training, she nevertheless became a senior advisor for

northern Iraq at the Ministry of Finance in Baghdad. Another was former White

House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer's older brother Michael who, though utterly

unqualified, was named director of private-sector development for all of Iraq.

The 15-month proconsulship of the CPA disbursed nearly $20

billion, two-thirds of it in cash, most of which came from the Development Fund

for Iraq that had replaced the UN Oil for Food Program and from frozen and

seized Iraqi assets. Most of the money was flown into Iraq on C-130s in huge

plastic shrink-wrapped pallets holding 40 cashpaks, each cashpak having $1.6

million in $100 bills. Twelve billion dollars moved that way between May 2003

and June 2004, drawn from accounts administered by the New York Federal Reserve

Bank. The $100 bills weighed an estimated 363 tons. Once in Iraq, there was

virtually no accountability over how the money was spent. There was also

considerable money off the books, including as much as $4 billion from

illegal oil exports. The CPA and the Iraqi State Oil Marketing Board, which it

controlled, made a deliberate decision not to record or ?meter? oil exports, an

invitation to wholesale fraud and black marketeering. Thus the country was

awash in unaccountable money. British sources report that the CPA contracts

that were not handed out to cronies were sold to the highest bidder, with

bribes as high as $300,000 being demanded for particularly lucrative

reconstruction contracts. The contracts were especially attractive because no

work or results were necessarily expected in return. It became popular to

cancel contracts without penalty, claiming that security costs were making it

too difficult to do the work. A $500 million power-plant contract was reportedly

awarded to a bidder based on a proposal one page long. After a joint commission

rejected the proposal, its members were replaced by the minister, and approval

was duly obtained. But no plant has been built. Where

contracts are actually performed, their nominal cost is inflated sufficiently

to provide handsome bribes for everyone involved in the process. Bribes paid to

government ministers reportedly exceed $10 million. Money also disappeared in

truckloads and by helicopter. The CPA reportedly distributed funds to

contractors in bags off the back of a truck. In one notorious incident in April

2004, $1.5 billion in cash that had just been delivered by three Blackhawk

helicopters was handed over to a courier in Erbil, in the Kurdish region, never

to be seen again. Afterwards, no one was able to recall the courier's name or

provide a good description of him. Paul Bremer, meanwhile, had a slush fund in

cash of more than $600 million in his office for which there was no paperwork.

One U.S. contractor received $2 million in a duffel bag. Three-quarters of a

million dollars was stolen from an office safe, and a U.S. official was given

$7 million in cash in the waning days of the CPA and told to spend it ?before

the Iraqis take over. Nearly $5 billion was shipped from New York in the last

month of the CPA. Sources suggest that a deliberate attempt was being made to

run down the balance and spend the money while the CPA still had authority and

before an Iraqi government could be formed. The only certified public-accounting

firm used by the CPA to monitor its spending was a company called North Star

Consultants, located in San Diego, which was so small that it operated out of a

private home. It was subsequently determined that North Star did not, in fact,

perform any review of the CPA's internal spending controls. Today, no one can

account for billions of those dollars or even suggest how the money was spent.

And as the CPA no longer exists, there is also little interest in re-examining

its transparency or accountability. Bremer escaped Baghdad by helicopter two

days before his proconsulship expired to avoid a possible ambush on the road

leading to the airport, which he had been unable to secure. He has recently

been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an honor he shares with ex-CIA

Director George ?Slam-dunk? Tenet. Considerable

fraud has been alleged regarding American companies, much of which can never be

addressed because the Bush administration does not regard contracts with the

CPA as pertaining to the U.S. government, even though U.S. taxpayer dollars

were involved in some transactions. Many of the contracts for work in Iraq were

awarded on a cost-plus basis, in which an agreed-upon percentage of profit

would be added to the actual costs of performing the contract. Such contracts

are an invitation to fraud, and unscrupulous companies will make every effort

to increase their costs so that the profits will also increase proportionally.

Halliburton, Vice President Dick Cheney?s former company,

has a no-bid monopoly contract with the Army Corps of Engineers that is now

estimated to be worth $10 billion. In June 2005, Pentagon contracting officer

Bunny Greenhouse told a congressional committee that the agreement was the

?most blatant and improper contracting abuse? that she had ever witnessed, a

frank assessment that subsequently earned her a demotion. <span

class=body>Halliburton has frequently been questioned over its poor record

keeping, and critics claim that it has a history of overcharging for its

services. In May 1967, a company called RMK/BRJ could not account for $120

million in materiel sent to Vietnam and was investigated several times for

overcharging on fuel. RMK/BRJ is now known as KBR or Kellogg, Brown and Root,

the Halliburton subsidiary that has been the focus of congressional, Department

of Defense, and General Accountability Office investigations. Defense Contract

Audit Agency auditors have questioned Halliburton?s charges on a $1.6 billion

fuel contract, claiming that the overcharges on the contract exceed $200

million. In one instance, the company charged the Army more than $27 million to

transport $82,000 worth of fuel from Kuwait to Iraq. Halliburton has also been

accused of billing the Army for 42,000 daily meals for soldiers, though it was

only actually serving 14,000. In another operation, KBR purchased fleets of

Mercedes trucks at $85,000 each to re-supply U.S. troops. The trucks carried no

spare parts or even extra tires for the grueling high-speed run across the

Kuwaiti and Iraqi deserts. When the trucks broke down on the highway, they were

abandoned and destroyed rather than repaired. Responding

to complaints, Halliburton refused to permit independent auditing and inspected

itself using so-called Tiger Teams. One such team stayed at the five-star

Kuwait Kempinski Hotel while it was doing its audit, running up a bill of more

than $1 million that was passed on to U.S. taxpayers. Another U.S. firm well

connected to the Bush White House, Custer Battles, has provided security

services to the coalition, receiving $11 million in Iraqi funds including $4

million in cash in a sole-source contract to supply security at Baghdad

International Airport. The company had never provided airport security before

receiving the contract. It also received a $21 million no-bid contract to

provide security for the exchange of Iraqi currency. It has been alleged that

much of the currency replaced by Custer Battles has never been accounted for.

The company also allegedly took over abandoned Iraqi-owned forklifts at the

airport, repainted them, and then leased them back to the airport authority

through a company set up in the Cayman Islands. Custer Battles reportedly set

up a number of shell companies in offshore tax havens in Lebanon, Cyprus, and

the Cayman Islands to handle the cash flow. Two former company managers turned

whistleblowers have charged that the company defrauded the U.S. government of

at least $50 million. The Bush administration?s Justice Department has only

reluctantly, and under pressure from a Newsweek expos鬠supported the

rights of the plaintiffs in the case. The White House has indicated that it is

not interested in assisting other investigations of fraud in Iraqi contracting,

preferring to regard the CPA as a ?multinational entity? and thereby limiting

its vulnerability in American courts. Another

American contractor, CACI International, which was involved in the Abu Ghraib

interrogations, was accused by the GAO in April 2004 of having failed to keep

records on hours of work that it was billing for and of routinely upgrading

employee job descriptions so that more could be charged per employee per hour.

Both are apparently common practices among contractors in Iraq, and audits

routinely determine that there is little in the way of paperwork to support

billings. The GAO report also confirms that many private security contractors

in Iraq have been charging the U.S. government exorbitant fees for their

services, frequently because the contracts allow security costs to be rolled

into the overall cost of the contract without being itemized. In one case,

contract security guards were effectively being billed at $33,000 per guard per

month while the average rate for a security specialist worked out to between

$13,000 and $20,000 per month. The CPA also

spread its largesse around the U.S. armed forces, distributing over $600

million in cash to four regional commanders to fund reconstruction projects as

part of the Commanders' Emergency Response Program. An audit of one region

disclosed that 80 percent of the funds could not be accounted for, and more

that $7 million in cash was missing. It is widely believed that many of the

contracting agents working under the regional commands literally stole the

money. In one reported instance, an American contracting officer doubled the

price of a multimillion-dollar contract and brazenly explained that the extra

money would be for his retirement fund. Unfortunately,

the corruption of the occupation outlived the departure of Paul Bremer and the

demise of the CPA. A recent high-level investigation of the Iraqi interim

government concluded that the corruption is now so pervasive as to be

irreversible. One prominent businessman estimates that 95 percent of all

business activity involves some form of bribery or kickback. The bureaucrats and

fixers who live off of bribery are referred to by ordinary Iraqis as ?Ali

Babas,? named after the character in The Thousand and One Nights who was

able to access riches from a treasure cave by saying ?open sesame.? For the

average Iraqi businessman, there was formerly only one hand out, that of

Saddam?s designated minion. Now every hand is out. The educated and

entrepreneurial are leaving the country in droves, as is most of the

beleaguered Christian minority. Huge government appropriations are approved by

Iraqi lawmakers and then simply disappear. Meanwhile, life for the average

Iraqi does not improve, and oil production, water supplies, and electricity

generation are all at lower levels than they were when the U.S. took control in

2003. The only thing that everyone knows is that all the money is gone and

daily life in Iraq is worse than it was under Saddam Hussein. <span

class=body>The undocumented cash flow continued long after the CPA folded.

Over $1.5 billion was disbursed to interim Iraqi ministries without any accounting,

and more than $1 billion designated for provincial treasuries never made it out

of Baghdad. More than $430 million in contracts issued by the Petroleum

Ministry were unsupported by any documentation, and $8 billion were given to

government ministries that had no financial controls in place. Nearly all of it

disappeared, spent on payroll, wages for ghost employees in the Ministries

of the Interior and Defense. In one case, an Army brigade receiving money to

support 2,200 men was found to have fewer than 300 effectives. 602 actual

guards at the Ministry of the Interior were billed as more than 8,200 for

payroll purposes. Iraqi Airways carried 2,400 employees even though it had not

operated for over a year and had no planes. The airline itself was sold to an

unidentified buyer without any paperwork to show for how much it was sold and

what assets were included. It has been alleged that the buyer might well have

been Pentagon favorite Ahmad Chalabi. Nearly all payrolls in the national guard

and national police were also inflated, leading to uncertainty over how large

the security forces actually were?still an open question. Absentees from the

nominal rolls of police and soldiers provided by government ministries are

believed to number in the tens of thousands, and as the United States Congress

has figured out, frequently cited figures on available trained manpower are

largely imaginary. Even the ?coalition of the willing? partners have been quick

to cash in. Polish helicopters purchased as part of a $300 million deal with

arms maker Bumar Ltd. were found to be obsolete, largely unflyable, and were

actually rejected by the Iraqis. Bullets purchased from Poland by the Defense

Ministry cost three times the normal international price. Five Polish

peacekeepers have been arrested for demanding $90,000 in bribes. Both British

and American soldiers have also demanded bribes from shopkeepers and travelers.

In yet another instance of take-it-while-you-can, a senior

Interior Ministry official flew to Beirut in a helicopter accompanied by $10

million in newly printed Iraqi dinars. He has yet to return. Interim Iraqi

President Iyad Allawi's Defense Minister Hazem Shaalan transferred $500 million

to a bank account in Lebanon, allegedly to buy weapons, in a case that continues

to be murky. Shaalan is reportedly vacationing abroad and has not returned to

Iraq. A Bremer favorite at the Defense Ministry, Ziad Tareq Cattan, was

responsible for a number of shady arms-procurement deals. A warrant has been

issued for his arrest, an unusual occurrence, and he is avoiding detention by

staying with family in Erbil in Kurdistan. Countless billions will never be

accounted for, and the full cost of corruption has yet to be tallied. Sources

report that much of the money that was designated for the development of a

national army and police force is actually going to units that are exclusively

Kurd or Shiite in expectation of a day of reckoning over the country's oil

supplies. The Kurds have made no secret of their desire to continue their autonomy-bordering-on-independence

and have stated that they regard Kirkuk as their own. The Shiites have

possession of the oil-producing region to the south and are using their control

of the Interior Ministry to fill police ranks with their own pro-Iranian Badr

Brigade members as well as militiamen drawn from radical cleric Moqtada

al-Sadr's Mehdi Army. The Sunnis are the odd men out, virtually guaranteeing

that, far from becoming the model democracy the U.S. set out to build, Iraq

will descend deeper into chaos aided in no small part by the culture of

corruption we helped to fortify. <o:p></o:p>
