Without Let or Hindrance - The Sequel

The Rt Revd Graham James, Bishop of Norwich
and the renegade former HM Consul David Charles Broom

Her Britannic Majesty’s Secretary of State requests and requires in the name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance, and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary.

It has taken four years to track down David Charles Broom former HM Consul, Seattle since he flew the coop in Seattle when he anticipated a unanimous finding by nine judges in Washington Supreme Court which reversed Washington Superior Court decisions by Judge James A Doerty. Through Broom’s willful negligence and ex parte collusion with Doerty, the Journalist spent 111 days in jail with 25 of them in solitary confinement incommunicado where (at almost 70 years of age) he repeatedly experienced torture and suffered a heart attack. A recent verification and validation process revealed that Broom has allegedly sought “sanctuary” under the auspices of The Right Reverend Graham James, Bishop of Norwich after a five-year debacle in Seattle, Washington.

The original article (04 Dec 07) contains the full text up to the disappearance of David Charles Broom from Seattle.

[Without Let or Hindrance]

	James		Norwich Cathedral
		A source in UK recently contacted Paul Trummel, Professor Emeritus (the Journalist) after Eastern Daily Press published an article by Victoria Leggett (26 Apr 11) which featured David Charles Broom. The previously unknown source inquired of the Journalist if the person named David Broom in Norwich (who works for The Rt Revd Graham James, Bishop of Norwich) formerly worked as HM Consul, Seattle, Washington, USA.

By allegedly conspiring to kill the messenger and destroy the medium in consort with Doerty, Broom arguably granted impunity to perpetrators of elder abuse. The jail torture of the Journalist formed part of a pattern or practice of elder abuse of tenants at Council House, Seattle, Washington about whom the Journalist wrote (a Jewish holocaust survivor, a Black man punished for speaking out and a White woman retarded from birth).

All three tenants died as a result of homicide by abuse and the Journalist narrowly missed joining them. Judge James A Doerty (a straw judge assigned to the Journalist's case as a result of judge shopping and swapping) remains as the key to the massive cover-up of those deaths after Washington Supreme Court reversed all the decisons that he made in the case. [Until Death do us Part - Case Studies]

Ravening Judicial Psychopath The rage or tantrums that psychopaths exhibit may represent the limit of emotion that they can experience. They watch and mime other people’s emotions then act them out to mask their psychotic tendencies. They often choreograph themselves like stage actors. In fact, Stephen A Mitchell has no social worker credentials. Council House directors appointed him, an out-of-work actor, to the position of administrator whern he played the part and filed a false and misleading curriculum vitae. Judge James A Doerty worked around the courts as a lawyer for many years and mimicked the judiciary enough for former Governor Locke to appoint him to Washington Superior Court (King County) as a token queer judge; a decision based upon sexual proclivity that Doerty could never have achieved standing on his knowledge of law or his ethics. [Queer Connection] Doerty has virtually no knowledge of constitutional law or human rights as he has repeatedly shown in his decisions. He implicated the gay community by outing himself for political expedience. He continues his psychotic judicial rampage without any constraint five years after nine judges in Washington Supreme Court unanimously reversed all his decisions in the Journalist’s case. [Rampant Judicial Delusion] Joe Lamb, Kansas Star reported (19 Mar 06) a few days before that decision (30 Mar 06) the unpublished findings of an investigative journalism class at the University of Illinois which considered appellate court rulings nationwide. Probably the first study of its kind, it showed how computerized records have made court operations more open to the public, lawyers and judges. The students identified Doerty as the nation’s most-often reversed judge with thirty-eight reversals during the first four years after his appointment as a judge. When challenged about his record, Doerty showed no remorse; instead, he showed satisfaction with his reversal rate: a sure sign of his pathological condition. In contrast, two Western Kansas judges, each with five reversals, finished last. That caused C Patrick McLarney, president of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association to say that the study probably will prompt others to examine the issue. “Whether judges like it or not, courts will become more transparent,” he said. “That’s good for the public and good for the courts.” Washington State Bar Association remains silent about Doerty’s reversal record.

The three tenants classified as vulnerable adults and should not have received a tenancy to live in a building restricted to independent living. The term “vulnerable adults” means people sixty years of age or older who have the functional, mental, or physical inability to care for themselves. Neglect of a vulnerable person means a pattern of conduct or inaction by a person or entity with a duty of care that fails to provide the goods and services that maintain physical or mental health or neglects to avoid or prevent physical or mental harm or pain. That definition includes omission and disregard which constitutes a clear and present danger to the person's health, welfare or safety.

Homicide by abuse carries a life sentence on each count in the state of Washington. Stephen A Mitchell, the psychopathic Council House administrator must eventually face trial in Seattle as the responsible party for homicide and elder abuse and make reparation to the Journalist for the malicious and life threatening damage that he caused to him. [Homicide by Abuse] [Vulnerable Adults]

In a related case, Judge James A Doerty, the "psychopathic mentor" who granted Mitchell impunity, currently has a Seattle Federal Court suit in progress against him under The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 and for violation of due process and 14th Amendment rights. [Goldblatt/Baillie vs. Doerty]

Homicide by Abuse Homicide by abuse defines as extreme indifference to human life that causes death of a vulnerable adult through a pattern or practice of neglect. Stephen A Mitchell and his team of thugs terrorized dozens of elderly people for more than five years. Three deaths from neglect and abuse have occurred for which Lynn C. Wartnik (a superior court judge's wife), Stephen A Mitchell and his assistant Audrey F Dunbar must hold ultimate responsibility. Homicide ranks as a class A felony punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in a state correctional institution or by a fine of fifty thousand dollars or both. Neglect means a pattern of conduct or inaction by a person or entity with a duty of care that fails to provide the goods and services that maintain physical or mental health. Thomas A. Carr, City Attorney, City of Seattle, and other government officials covered up the deaths. David C Broom, Consul, British Consulate, Seattle arguably conspired with a judge in that cover-up. By that, he became an accessory after the fact to homicide by abuse despite any immunity granted to him under the Vienna Conventions.

HM Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) appointed David C Broom, Consul, British Consulate, Seattle during December 1999 and removed him during July 2004 prior to the consulate closing (30 Sep 05) when it transferred all documents to San Francisco. The generic term “consul” defines a diplomat or official representative of a government in one state who resides in the territory of another. Most nations maintain consulates in major foreign cities with the primary purpose of safeguarding their resident and traveling citizens while on foreign soil. A secondary duty relates to maintaining commercial interests.

Seattle Consulate represented UK government and British interests in Washington state and promised to provide services to British nationals. Broom neglected to visit the Journalist in jail although repeatedly requested by his friends and colleagues and ignored the basic rights of foreign nationals before interrogation and confinement in a foreign country to receive a visit from their consul under Vienna Conventions.

Instead, Broom accepted at face value the perjured testimony suborned by Maureen Mitchell that Doerty sent to him attached to a letter after two unlawful ex parte (in secret with bias) telephone conversations. Broom denied any contact with Doerty until two years later when confronted with a letter that he had signed in which he admitted ex parte communication. Doerty then sent a copy of his letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in an unlawful deportation attempt. Doerty claimed in that letter not to have sent the attachments to DHS and left Broom to hold responsibility for doing so.

DHS has now commenced an investigation of the harassment of the journalist each time that he enters the US which has occurred for almost a decade based upon the content of those attachments. That harassment has included intensive interrogation after long flights and missed connections each time that he entered the US.

	Harassment

Broom or Doerty sent copies of the perjured declarations to US immigration (a footnote to the letter by Doerty claims that he only sent the attachments to Broom). By that, they jointly or severally harassed the Journalist by placing suborned perjury, later stipulated inadmissable by Washington Supreme Court, on international restricted-travel records. FCO destroyed documents which could indict both Doerty and Broom for filing false and misleading information with a Federal agency.

FCO must take remedial action and mitigate the damage that Doerty and Broom caused. They must have the Journalist's name removed from no-fly or other notoriety lists. Restricted travel and its attendant interrogation has affected his health for over nine years and, considering his age, could construe as another form of torture. The false information in the perjured declarations provoked DHS officers to repeatedly delay and harass him each time that he entered US.

Maureen L Mitchell, Summit Law Group

Maureen L Mitchell (WSBA #30356) formerly attorney for Stephen A Mitchell also his weekend party girl, now with Summit Law Group, Seattle suborned forty-three defamatory declarations from elderly people under duress. She entered that perjury into evidence without any pretrial discovery and the Journalist served an indeterminate jail sentence without trial or legal counsel.

Maureen Mitchell then petitioned Doerty to deny the Journalist a discovery process to challenge the declarations on grounds that the declarants classified as vulnerable adults too frail to face interrogation. When the Journalist objected, Doerty threatened him with another contempt citation.

In a distinct conflict of interest, Maureen Mitchell became a clerk to the appellate court in which Judge Mary Kay Becker heard the appeal of the perjury Maureen Mitchell suborned and the imprisonment that resulted from it.

Four years later, nine judges in Washington Supreme Court unanimously found all the declarations inadmissible by stipulation; however, by then the Journalist had suffered jail, solitary confinement, torture and a heart attack without benefit of counsel or a visit by HM Consul David Charles Broom in violation of Vienna Conventions.

Maureen Mitchell submitted no other evidence to the trial and appellate courts except claims about web site content inadmissible under the US First Amendment to the Constitution and her case fell apart.

Summit Law Group which classifies itself as a cooperative without partners or associates arguably remains jointly and severally liable after the fact for multiple professional misconduct by Maureen L Mitchell and her failure to make reparation.

Summit now effectively provides Maureen Mitchell with a cover in the same way that Graham James, Bishop of Norwich effectively provides “sanctuary” to former HM Consul Broom. Broom clandestinely “disappeared” himself to Norwich after his five-year debacle in Seattle, Washington.

A reasonable person must ask how many attorneys, alleged to have committed gross professional misconduct and criminal offences for which they could be disbarred, has Summit granted sanctuary. Summit members claim: "Summit Law Group rejects the time-honored hierarchy of traditional law firms. No partners, no associates. Everyone contributes. Everyone is an owner of the business and has the greatest possible incentive to devote their best effort on our customers' behalf".

That statement alone supports the Marxist maxim: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. Arguably, Summit Law Group supports an anarchy without a business or management structure and uses risk management policies to prevent filing of complaints against its lawyers or even discussing issues with them. No partners, no associates means no management responsibility.

Does Summit provide refuge to rogue lawyers in a similar way to which Diocese of Norwich has granted sanctuary to Broom? Must the Journalist now treat all Summit lawyers as jointly and several liable after the fact of multiple professional misconduct by Maureen L Mitchell and her neglect to make reparation?

Maureen Mitchell continues to participate in a mafia cover-up that has resulted in multiple elder abuse including at least three homicides. She must face disbarment proceedings for suborning perjury (another form of elder abuse) and tampering with witnesses.

She suborned 20% of the Council House tenants, all of them elderly people, with prescribed statements that defamed the Journalist. Some of them acted in ignorance and all of them perjured themselves under threat of eviction. After nine years of silence she has now opened the door using the Summit email address to disseminate a false and misleading statement that contained a threat and Summit computer technicians have blocked a response to that threat.

	Nothing Succeeds like Excess Freedom of speech, an absolute right not an abstract philosophy, should not subserve political and economic considerations. Moreover, information technology remains a right not a privilege despite technocratic claims to the contrary. A unanimous decision by nine judges in Washington Supreme Court has determined the right of the author to distribute information freely. However, that does not provide much protection when despotic administrators interfere with computer resources because they disagree with the content of messages: a disagreement probably based upon disclosure of their own malfeasance. They fear dissent and have an aversion to controversy. Their addiction to political correctness frequently causes them to invoke censorship of Internet activities. They act upon an irrational expectation that certain categories of email may contain something that they would not wish others to read then arbitrarily reject it. Summit Law Group, Seattle has empowered its systems administrators to return from its server all individually addressed email from specific sources - an invasion of personal privacy which arbitrarily censors the incoming email of all Summit lawyers and denies them their right to know. Interference with email transmission not specifically proscribed by international law classifies as a serious offense which Maureen L Mitchell (WSBA #30356) must understand violates Federal law then instruct her technicians to stop censoring individually addressed correspondence. Bullivant Houser Bailey (Portland and Seattle) has also empowered its systems administrators to return from its server all email from specific sources which censors the incoming email of all BHB lawyers. Douglas G Houser, Senior Counsel (BHB Portland office) is fully aware of the circumstances surrounding that prior restraint also the systems sabotage and Internet denial-of-service attacks during 2005 which cost the author more than $100,000.00 to repair. Former BHB attorneys Thomas D Adams (now with Karr Tuttle Campbell, Seattle) and Gretchen Herbison (now with King County Department of Executive Services, Seattle) caused that malicious damage following Adams's verbal and written threats. Adams verbally threatened the Journalist's attorney William J Crittenden by telephone then confirmed the threat in a letter (28 Sep 05). He said that he would use "other remedies" to stop the Journalist from publishing details of homicide and elder abuse at Council House, Seattle: a BHB client. The sabotage commenced immediately following those threats and no reparation has been made following the unanimous Washington Supreme Court decision (30 Mar 06) in favor of the Journalist. Houser has ignored repeated correspondence that invited him to discuss reparations. Instead, upon publication of this article (06 Jun 11) BHB computer technicians again hacked into the Contra Cabal computer systems, destroyed applications and vandalized mailing databases. Douglas G Houser (OSB #600384) has received notice that if he does not address those issues immediately a full report will go to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Oregon State Bar (OSB) will receive complaints against him for gross professional misconduct. Three articles explain the sabotage. Tell it to the Judge, By Jiminy! [Article] [Open Letter] [Reprise] Censors participate in a cover-up of crime when they exclude or censor material which contains statements that expose criminal activity. A US Supreme Court opinion declared that any system of prior restraint carries a heavy presumption against constitutionality and that censors must bear the heavy burden of justifying prior restraint or censorship of content protected by the First Amendment. Some administrators mistakenly distinguish between speech and electronic communication and wrongly apply different rules. Systems operators may not censor the electronic media any more than bookstore owners may censor books. US Supreme Court agreed with a similar contention on First Amendment grounds in Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union (1997). [SRA Series]

In common with Maureen Mitchell, HM Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has also buried the Broom affair and his use of suborned perjury generated by Maureen Mitchell for nine years. FCO officials have blacked out all information about Broom in a cover-up of his nefarious US activities in a similar way to Summit’s protection of Maureen Mitchell.

This has allowed a powerful political and criminal mafia in Seattle to harass the Journalist whenever he enters the US. Unlawful restrictions still apply to his movements which Maureen Mitchell has used in her recent threat despite the Washington Supreme court finding in his favor and forty-five years as a permanent resident without a blemish on his character or residency.

If congregants of Diocese of Norwich continue to give Broom “sanctuary”, or in any way try to cover up his undiplomatic and allegedly criminal activity, then they should also make reparation. If they assist Broom in any other way to evade his responsibility in law and precedent for what he has done now that he has returned to UK, then they arguably could face charges as accessories after the fact. Summit faces a similar situation in Seattle.

Except for one freedom of information response which claimed an exemption, government departments have prevented release of information on Broom’s whereabouts. The continuing blackout of information and prior restraint on his activities in Seattle by former Labour government ministers and National Union of Journalists has allowed them to obstruct justice. Even BBC imposed a prior restraint relating to the same issues.

Age discrimination has prevented a hearing to receive due process of law against Broom and others in UK. The longer they deny justice the more likely the Journalist will die either from action on the threats of grievous bodily harm (GBH) or by natural causes. The mafia tried to kill the journalist in jail and nine years later he still has to fight for justice hampered by age discrimination while the people who caused the problem (Stephen A Mitchell and Maureen L Mitchell facilitated by David C Broom) enjoy their ill-gotten gains. [Age Discrimination]

	Seattle Mafia 2001 - Conspiracy to Railroad, Harass and Defraud Council House directors and their spouses suborned perjury in a conspiracy to railroad a journalist. Several superior and appellate court judges committed judicial misconduct to support their criminal acts with decisions since reversed by Washington Supreme Court. They railroaded a journalist to deny due process of law; forced rapid litigation; prevented careful consideration of facts and criticism; convicted him using contempt citations without a fair trial; used trumped-up charges; and, dragooned, compelled, subjugated, and persecuted him using coercion, threats, and imprisonment. Richard R. Beresford, (lawyer) warned Council House directors that the journalist had a constitutional right to publish his newsletter, which contained allegations of federal, state, and municipal violations of law, and to "leave him alone". The author obtained a temporary restraining order and filed a harassment petition when the administrator collected and destroyed copies of the newsletter (05 Mar 01). Judge Wartnik had the scheduled judge replaced with Judge James A. Doerty who summarily denied the author's harassment petition. He retained jurisdiction and unlawfully instructed the directors to file a counterclaim. He then retained jurisdiction. By that, Doerty committed gross judicial misconduct and Mitchell ignored cautionary legal admonition by knowingly admitting perjured declarations into evidence. In fact, he initiated a counterclaim in behalf of SJM. Doerty has since withheld transcripts and hundreds of other documents from that hearing to cover his tracks (20 Mar 01). Craig S. Sternberg (lawyer) wrote to Lynn C. Wartnik and her husband Judge Wartnik to apprise them of a planned railroading and lobbied directors to support the counterclaim for which he had already approved funding. He told them that insurance would cover some or all of the legal fees (22 Mar 01). At a hearing on the counterclaim, Doerty denied the author legal counsel, a discovery process, and a motion for continuance. He then granted an antiharassment order designed to address domestic disputes for prior restraint purposes with instant and permanent effect. By that, he caused eviction of the author from his home followed by loss of his possessions and euthanasia for his dog (19 Apr 01). During the ensuing months, having committed judicial misconduct, perverted the course of justice, and violated constitutional and human rights, Doerty then issued a series of contempt orders effectively to silence investigative reporting. He misapplied law by granting a restraining order which deprived the journalist of his constitutional rights to free speech and liberty. In a letter to Vicki Richman, a New York City journalist, Mitchell trapped himself several times by admitting that: "[Doerty] denied his [the journalist’s] petition with prejudice and suggested that Mitchell should file a counter suit". By that, Mitchell confirmed the appellant’s contentions that Doerty openly advised from the bench that Council House prosecute against constitutionally protected speech (19 Sep 01). Washington Supreme Court unanimously reversed rulings by Washington Superior Court (Doerty) and Washington Court of Appeals (Becker) that relate to Council House. Those findings vindicated the author of the newsletters and web sites (30 Mar 06). Seattle Municipal Court dismissed the frivolous criminal charges filed by Thomas A. Carr, Seattle City Attorney (21 Apr 06). Seattle Mafia 2002 - Conspiracy to Jail with Solitary Confinement Council House directors again conspired with judges to place the author in solitary confinement without due process of law or legal counsel. Their unlawful acts caused several near-death experiences which resulted from arbitrary incarceration and solitary confinement involving isolation from all other prisoners for 23 hours each day and denial of contact with his lawyer and any other person except guards effectively as a political detainee. By that, Doerty (and by extension British Consul David Broom) contravened most of the articles in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The author had published reports about Council House elder abuse and other wrongdoing on a web site located in Holland. Indeterminate Doerty jailed the author for almost four months (25 days in solitary confinement among murderers and rapists) using politically expedient contempt of court findings. He again disallowed a discovery process and benefit of counsel. Council House directors retroactively committed perjury and suborned more witnesses to cover up that judicial misconduct. As with their decision on the 2001 findings, Washington Supreme Court unanimously reversed rulings by Washington Superior Court (Doerty) and Washington Court of Appeals (Becker) that relate to Council House. Those findings vindicated the author of the newsletters and web sites (30 Mar 06). Seattle Municipal Court dismissed the frivolous criminal charges filed by Seattle City Attorney Thomas A. Carr (21 Apr 06).

Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) now has threats of GBH under investigation after Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) officers in Lewisham used a time-warp stratagem to delay justice which frequently denies it, especially when the victim has attained 78 years of age. However, new UK laws relating to age discrimination may make the perpetrators think again if the Bishop of Norwich takes action in Westminster to see that justice is served.

Since his release from jail (under a writ similar to habeas corpus) after 111 days, the journalist has received repeated death threats and must remain in hiding while in Seattle. Prior to incarceration, mafia thugs assaulted him five times and Seattle Police Department ignored official reports of that violence. The violence and threats have followed him to the UK where MPS is following a similar strategy of delay and deny instead of mounting a proper investigation. [Di Fabio]

The powerful political and criminal Zionist mafia in Seattle has tentacles that reach into all walks of life and has a complete disregard for law. It has a long record of abusing elderly people and defrauding the federal government of millions of dollars that they should have applied to their welfare. When the journalist first reported the unlawful activity both in the media and to government officials, the mob retaliated.

According to recently published information, The Rt Revd Graham James, Bishop of Norwich worked as Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, from 1987 to 1993. He acted as Bishop of St Germans in the Diocese of Truro from 1993 to 1999. Since 1995, he has held membership in the General Synod of the Church of England and since 1999 has held the position of 71st Bishop of Norwich.

	Graham and David
	Bound together in spiritual and temporal harmony after rooting for truffles, they now have their snouts permanently in the trough.

In 2004, James was appointed to be a Lord Spiritual to sit in the House of Lords. Since 2006, as a member of the Archbishops' Council and Chair of the Ministry Division, Church of England, he chairs the BBC's Standing Conference on Religion and Belief. As Broom’s present employer, James must now start an investigation to address the decade of lying and deception by Broom the Diocesan Pooh-Bar, Lord-High-Everything-Else and the contingent prior restraint by BBC.

Broom, now employed by Diocese of Norwich as Director of Operations, sits on the Bishop's Council; Board of Finance; Diocesan Synod; Mission and Pastoral Committee; Asset Management; Executive Committee; and holds the title Investment Policy Group Director of Operations at Norwich Cathedral as James’s principal layperson. A reasonable person must ask, how could James not know about Broom’s behaviour in Seattle when he held a seat in the House of Lords while ministers in the lower house practiced their chicanery on the same issue.

By that appointment, James allegedly failed to investigate Broom's past behavior either by willful negligence or for political expedience. He has a duty of care to investigate and make reparation for the malicious damage that Broom has done to the Journalist: especially if Broom receives both a government pension and also dips his hand into the diocesan purse while hiding a decade of unlawful behavior.

By employing Broom, James as chair of the BBC's Standing Conference on Religion and Belief has credibility that will stretch to the limit if he does not immediately address the issues from both spiritual and temporal perspectives. BBC censorship and prior restraint about the case places an absolute chill on freedom of expression and has helped pervert justice in UK for a decade.

BBC even failed to report the successful Washington Supreme Court finding while Jeremy Dear, General Secretary, National Union of Journalists gleefully dredged up the suborned and perjured evidence in the case and published it without a mention that the court had thrown it out by stipulation. Dear claimed to have active negotiations with Jack Straw, former Foreign Secretary to support an inquiry into the facts of the case. Instead, of inquiring into the issues, Straw, knowing about the jailing of the journalist without benefit of counsel, launched a new FCO Strategy (March 2006) and hypocritically trumpeted:

	Torture

At the heart of any foreign policy must lie a set of fundamental values. For this Government, the values that we promote abroad are those that guide our actions at home. We seek a world in which freedom, justice and opportunity thrive, in which governments are accountable to the people, protect their rights and guarantee their security and basic needs. We do so because these are the values we believe to be right. And because such a world is the best guarantee of the security and prosperity of the people of the United Kingdom.

A reasonable person must ask, why the general secretary of the journalist’s own union would derogate him in such a way. The answer lies simply in money and power for an NUJ Marxist splinter group from a quid pro quo that NUJ received from the former Labour government allegedly not to proceed with legal support for the journalist. The journalist’s own MP, Gareth Thomas (then Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for International Development) negotiated the grant with NUJ to the detriment of his duty to his constituent to investigate FCO regarding his unlawful jailing and torture. This created a conflict of interest when NUJ had a responsibility to provide adversarial representation on the same issue. [Torture]

British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) considered the case serious enough to place a prior restraint on any mention of it and Press Complaints Commission (PCC) buried a complaint about the BBC media blackout that has lasted for almost a decade. In contrast, nine hundred other publications from Moscow to Madrid published full details of the original jailing of the journalist without trial and later the Washington Supreme Court reversal of all previous findings. Not a word emanated from BBC (with its employment policies infiltrated and controlled by NUJ Marxists). However, money still talks and blackmail speaks even louder when it carries a £262,000.00 quid pro quo for corrupt trade union officials not to support a member.

One of the issues in the petition for a public inquiry to Kenneth Clarke QC, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice involves the alleged pattern or practice of illegal or criminal activity by David C Broom, former British Consul, Seattle, Washington who now resides at Penarth, Cromer Road, Trimingham, Norwich, Norfolk NR11 8DY.

Seattle Police Department, Policies and Procedures -
Section 2-121- Arrests and Detentions of Foreign Nationals

Under the terms of the Vienna Convention and other treaties, whenever Seattle Police officers take into custody a person who claims foreign nationality or permanent residency in US (anyone who does not classify as a US citizen) they must follow additional notification procedures. The convention mandates that all foreign nationals have a right to have their consular officials notified, without unreasonable delay.

Police must notify the foreign national’s nearest consular official of the arrest/detention immediately after arrival at the precinct, jail, or other significant detention center before interrogation or booking. Consular officials are entitled to access their nationals in detention and to provide consular assistance. The consular official must help the foreign national obtain legal counsel and contact his family and visit him in detention.

Law enforcement officers who actually make an arrest or who assume responsibility for a foreign national’s detention hold responsibility for making proper notification using the mandatory advisement statement located in Consular Notification and Access Reference Card: Instructions for Arrests and Detentions of Foreign Nationals and the Officer’s Resource Booklet (Form 39.0).

Seattle Police did not follow any of those protocols. Consequently, friends and professional associates repeatedly contacted Broom who took no action whatsoever. Instead, Broom colluded with Judge James A Doerty, Washington Superior Court who had unlawfully jailed the journalist without benefit of counsel and without police filing any charges. This effectively made the foreign journalist a “political prisoner incommunicado”.

Rosalie Gillman, born in Seattle and a life-long resident, a friend of the journalist, took the initiative to contact Broom several times by telephone but he did not return her calls. Gillman then wrote a letter to him to which he did not respond. [RG-Letter]

Although aware of the circumstances, Broom did nothing to relieve the situation. Instead, he consorted with the judge apparently to protect commercial interests allied to the Seattle Mafia for whom Doerty acted as straw judge. Broom lied in writing about his ex parte involvement with Doerty and withheld official documents. Later, Consulate-General, San Francisco admitted to destroying those records under their “retention policy” probably in an attempt to cover up Broom's dereliction.

When a pro bono lawyer finally had the journalist released from jail under a process similar to habeas corpus he could not find Broom. Broom's secretary told the journalist that she did not know where he had gone. Later, the UK Consulate in Los Angeles closed the Seattle office and now Broom has miraculously appeared in the Diocese of Norwich as the Bishop’s Pooh-Bar.

Broom claimed in Seattle Times: “Britain and Washington state are major trading partners; as British consul general, I am vested in the state's recovery and continued competitiveness and economic success”. In several other articles he also signed himself “Consul General”; however, Robin Newmann, Vice Consul Political, Press and Public Affairs, British Consulate-General, San Francisco refutes Broom’s claim to that title.

Jane Stephens, Open Government Liaison Officer, Human Resources Directorate, Foreign and Commonwealth Office claimed (23 Jan 08):

When open, the post in Seattle was known as the British Consulate. Therefore, the person assigned consular responsibilities within that post would be termed Consul (or HM Consul). As David was the only UK based member of staff at that post, and was de facto, the most senior member of staff there dealing with consular issues, this would have been, and continues to be, the most appropriate job title to use when referring to him. The Diplomatic Service List 2005 does refer to Mr. Broom as Consul (Commercial). However, this reflects the fact that a significant proportion of his job involved handling commercial issues. It is a title, which is mainly used for internal use.

During Broom’s tenure, Judge James A. Doerty committed judicial misconduct, perverted the course of justice, and violated constitutional and human rights of a British subject. Doerty issued a series of contempt orders effectively to silence investigative reporting. He misapplied law by granting a restraining order which deprived the journalist of his constitutional rights to free speech and liberty then imprisoned him indefinitely.
[Cruel and Unusual Punishment]

In its finding, Washington Supreme Court took into consideration amici curiae briefs by:

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU - Seattle)
American Society of Authors and Editors (ASAE - New York)
International Federation of Journalists (IFJ- Brussels)
National Union of Journalists (NUJ - London)
Seattle Weekly (A local newspaper in Seattle, Washington)

However, British Consulate-General (San Francisco) and Washington Superior Court continue to abrogate rights granted under the US Constitution and UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Torture of Imprisoned Journalists - HM Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)

FCO Freedom of Expression Panel claims to raise issues at ministerial level and in high-level exchanges with other governments also to encourage EU to take action. However, it has taken the author nine years to gain the panel's attention notwithstanding EU media coverage in excess of 900 articles.

FCO has neglected to acknowledge that cruel and unusual punishment of a British national took place in violation of UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights in King County Jail, Seattle, Washington, USA despite repeated apprisal of that situation by a National Union of Journalists amici curiae attorney and other interested parties. FCO even ignored a unanimous Washington Supreme Court finding that reversed unlawful trial and appellate court decisions used to incarcerate the journalist ostensibly to protect Broom from serious misconduct charges.

The FCO Panel claims to prepare a list of imprisoned journalists using three criteria: overall severity of restrictions on freedom of the media: severity of the individual case; and, the effect inclusion on the list may have in resolving the issues. Several cases in US, and the author’s case in particular, remain conspicuously absent from that list. [List of Imprisoned Journalists]

Although FCO has received reports on the severity of media restrictions and cruel and unusual punishment for publishing protected information, it has chosen to do absolutely nothing which has allowed the abuse to continue. The statements on the FCO Human Rights - International Priorities web page belie the true situation and amount to nothing more than government propaganda and hypocrisy. The panel claims to support Article 19, Universal Declaration of Human Rights yet blatantly ignores it for political expedience. [FCO Human Rights]

Legal Immunity - Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

In international law, official representatives of foreign governments have diplomatic immunity from liability in criminal and civil actions in the countries in which they serve. Similarly, judges in Washington state have judicial immunity intended to encourage them to act in a fair and just manner without considering extrinsic evidence. Granting these privileges presumes that individuals will act with integrity and within laws that they swear to uphold.

Both Broom and Doerty held immunity which they jointly and severally abused. That abuse will eventually become a major issue for independent investigators and adjudication by UK courts and Washington Commission on Judicial Conduct (CJC) respectively. Decisions by those bodies carry appellate rights to UK and EU parliaments and US Supreme Court.

Those privileges presuppose the individuals who enjoy them have an ethical foundation, a knowledge of law, and concern for the human condition - all conspicuously absent in this case. Arguably, Broom cannot now enjoy immunity due to his false claims to the title “Consul General” and the outrageous neglect to perform his duties as consul.

Due process of law calls for absolute adherence by judges to ethical codes and to restrict themselves to interpret law, not legislate it. A reading of court documents filed by Doerty shows absolute ignorance of law and arbitrary decisions blatantly published for political expedience, mostly aided and abetted by Broom’s dereliction.

Defendants can recover monetary damages from a judge for intentional tort if they prove that he acted ultra vires - beyond the scope or in excess of his legal power or authority which applies in this case. That equitable relief would require a ruling by another judge to establish constitutionality, or lack of it, which to a reasonable person constitutes a certainty because WA Supreme Court has already reversed Doerty’s decisions. However, an intimidated legal system in Washington prevents or persuades lawyers not to take cases that challenge judges.

Broom must now explain to HM Parliament why, after receiving several requests from a variety of people to visit the jail, he instead met with Doerty ex parte. By that he allegedly committed gross misconduct and misuse of diplomatic privilege. He effectively assisted incommunicado solitary confinement and torture of a British national through dereliction of his duty "to afford the bearer [of a British passport] such assistance and protection as may be necessary".

Reprise

Maureen L Mitchell (Summit Law Group, Seattle (WSBA #30356) suborned the declarations used by Doerty in behalf of Stephen A Mitchell, Council House administrator. Maureen Mitchell even harassed Rosalie Gillman (the woman who wrote to Broom asking for his help) by repeatedly telephoning her and even went to her apartment to persuade her to drop her support for the journalist: blatant intimidation of a witness.

Thomas A Carr, City of Seattle Attorney repeatedly ignored complaints of elder abuse and reports of at least three cases of alleged homicide by abuse. In retaliation, and in a further attempt to stop the journalist reporting malfeasance, Carr issued six trumped-up criminal charges and arrest warrants. Seattle Municipal Court dismissed all those charges following the Supreme Court decision.

Broom had a duty of care to visit the journalist in jail; instead, he exacerbated an already outrageous situation. He must now account not only for lying and destroying records but also for his collusion with Doerty.

Parliament must order a public inquiry of the consular/judicial collusion and address the resultant incommunicado solitary confinement and torture of a British national which has already been found unlawful by unanimous decision of nine judges in Washington Supreme Court. Otherwise, the issues must go to EU Parliament for resolution. Broom must be brought to account for his behavior in Seattle. [Public Inquiry]

To mitigate damage, HM Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) must instruct its embassy in Washington DC to work with US authorities to restore constitutional and human rights by removing the perjured and defamatory documents from the journalist’s record. US Department of Homeland Security must allow the journalist to pass freely without let or hindrance (without anything hindering or preventing action or progress) and the UK Embassy must afford him necessary assistance and protection.

During interrogation of the journalist upon entering the US (16 Oct 07), the DHS officer mentioned a new complaint (in addition to those unlawfully recorded by Doerty to effect deportation) filed by a "Michelle Stefan" - one of the aliases used by Stephen A Mitchell. Unlike officers previously encountered, this one had a polite and helpful demeanor; however, he would not reveal details of the complaint. When asked if the new complaint related to previous issues the officer silently acknowledged the implication.

Doerty warned that stalking classified as a federal offense carrying punishment of two years in a Federal penitentiary and deportation then placed perjured documents on Federal files to effect Federal action. Consulate-General San Francisco has now admitted destroying those records. HM Foreign and Commonwealth Office and its US Embassy remain fully cognizant of the circumstances but continue to do nothing to mitigate them.

In another bizarre case, a Sudanese court sentenced Gillian Gibbons (54) to 15 days in jail and deportation for insulting Islam. She had allowed her pupils to name a teddy bear after Islam's prophet Muhammad. The designation was part of a class project for her 7-year-old students at a private school in Sudan. British Embassy, Khartoum went to extraordinary lengths to free Gibbons and two British peers traveled to Sudan to meet with the Sudanese president in a successful attempt to have her released. Demonstrators had called for her execution for allegedly insulting the prophet. Concern for Gibbons's safety was intensified after thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and swords, beat drums and burned pictures of her during a rally in Khartoum the nation’s capital.

David Miliband, British Foreign Secretary immediately took time out to write:

No one believes she [Gibbons] set out to insult anyone; everyone wants to see common sense prevail. . . . I have asked to see the Sudanese Ambassador to London as a matter of urgency to discuss the case. Consular contact has been maintained but obviously we want to see the case sorted out as soon as possible.

Miliband spoke for Gibbons at the same time that he deliberately covered up the Journalist's case and Broom's involvement with it.

Remedial Action

FCO must take remedial action to mitigate the damage that Doerty and Broom caused, jointly and severally, which has resulted in international and US domestic travel being subjected to unlawful restriction for more than nine years. Doerty knowingly placed suborned documents which contain false and misleading information on international travel records which provoke DHS officers repeatedly to delay and harass the journalist when entering US.

Broom's statement about not knowing ranks as an obvious lie when one studies various documents obtained from other sources. A reasonable person must ask how Broom could have known to contact Doerty if he had not received telephone calls for help from Rosalie A Gillman (which she later confirmed with her letter) and other people. Broom contacted Doerty who dissuaded him from visiting the journalist in jail. If Broom had visited the Journalist, then he would have learned the truth about Doerty and how he framed the Journalist then manipulated the Consulate.

If Broom has "no written documents", then what happened to his notes on the verbal communication, the Gillman letter, the letter from Doerty with its attachments, and other correspondence their copies of which SF admits destroying? Moreover, sending the letter and attachments to DHS defined as a malicious and vindictive act not supported by any known legal precedent. Destroying documents knowing that an open request for them exists and removal of the same documents from court records in Seattle supports the allegation of collusion and a cover-up by Broom and Doerty (also Chief Administrative Officer Paul Sherfey).

Doerty placed an unlawful prior restraint on reporting and publication of a web site in Holland and denied an appeal. He then jailed the journalist indeterminately without trial or benefit of counsel on contempt of court for reporting serious crimes allegedly committed at Council House by its administrators.

Doerty then entered the perjury suborned by Maureen L Mitchell and politically motivated propaganda into the court record and sent a letter to Broom with those declarations as attachments. Doerty also sent copies of the letter which he addressed to “Her Majesty’s Consul” to DHS allegedly in an unlawful attempt to effect deportation. Both San Francisco Consulate-General and Washington Superior Court have removed those documents from the record; however, sources have provided copies to Contra Cabal and the addresses of both Maureen L Mitchell and David C Broom.

Conclusion - Anarchy and Seattle Government

The judiciary and government officials connected with Seattle Mafia have caused a state of lawlessness and disorder by failure to comply with law. David Broom took advantage of extant anarchy to manipulate the Seattle political and judicial system to the detriment of a British national whom he had sworn to assist and protect.

Anarchy results from a failure of government to control lawlessness and disorder. It manifests in an absence of political authority and cohesive principles that predicate upon a common standard or purpose. In Washington state, that condition stems from Christine O Gregoire, Governor (a former Attorney General) who has tentacles spreading through a multicultural society consisting of special interest groups with Seattle Mafia and University of Washington (UW) predominant among them.

The Seattle people involved have consistently shown a pattern of racketeering (defined by the Civil Rights Act and RICO statute) for at least ten years. A RICO pattern means two or more organized criminal acts which indicate ensuant activity. Those acts include conspiracy to commit crimes of coercion by wrongful use of force or fear. Recent activity at Seattle airport reinforces that pattern.

By David C Broom's involvement with that mafia and his present employment by Diocese of Norwich, he remains part of the problem until he mitigates the damage to both journalist and diplomatic corps satisfaction. Little sympathy exists for The Rt Revd Graham James, Bishop of Norwich who has evidently allowed himself to become embroiled in an international situation for commercial reasons. He now has an opportunity to redeem himself by practicing what he preaches without playing a shell game between his spiritual and temporal responsibilities.

	National Union of Journalists International Federation of Journalists Distribution Proviso The author and publisher has restricted content of this series of articles to National Union of Journalists (NUJ) and International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) members (also named parties, police officers and solicitors who colluded with them) pending investigation of alleged criminal activity and legal action under: Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992; Fraud Act 2006; Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006; Equality Act 2010; Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The author reported police officers for dereliction of their duty in accordance with the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) guide for handling complaints pursuant to Section 22 Police Reform Act 2002. Complaints against solicitors for professional misconduct referenced: Solicitors Code of Conduct 2007; Solicitors Act 1974; Administration of Justice Act 1985 and Courts and Legal Services Act 1990. Law enforcement investigations involve an alleged pattern or practice of joint and several illegal or criminal activities by: National Union of Journalists (NUJ) executives, lawyers, and staff; National Executive Council (NEC) officers; and London Freelance Branch (LFB) officers. Other branches and chapels do not form part of intended civil and criminal complaints; therefore, the author has no opinion on their activities. Adverse comments, all verified and validated to insure accurate reporting, meet legal requirements. This proviso in no way restricts NUJ and IFJ members from releasing excerpts (with accreditation) to interested third parties including news media. Prepublication Information All individuals featured in Contra Cabal received prior notice in accordance with international codes of ethics agreed among journalists. They had an opportunity to mitigate damage and to refute statements that could negatively affect their reputations or cause investigation or prosecution of them for alleged illegal acts. Several of those codes have international legal precedent. The notices gave them an opportunity to challenge with substantiated evidence any charges affecting their ethical or moral character. For public accountability, the author encouraged them to respond in open exchange before a deadline. Individuals mentioned incidentally received a copy of the notice as a courtesy. Journalists must report the truth no matter whom they offend and with disregard for the consequences of publication. Accurate reporting predicates a higher purpose and the common good. The author did not solicit personal opinions and informed individuals that they should address only matters of fact. The notices declared personal or conflicting interests that related to topics or to opinion especially when the content drew upon advocacy, experience, conclusion, or interpretation. They advised of a responsibility to gather information and develop public awareness about wrongdoing and violation of codes of conduct. Primarily, the articles expose malfeasance and misuse of public funds also abuse of members by trade union officials and officers and law enforcement agencies. Named individuals neglected to adhere to their duty of care. Some maliciously damaged others and their reputations by libel, slander, assault, or other unlawful acts. No person received immunity from investigation. Anything published results from investigation, verification and validation which took into account violations of law or breach of established rules and ethical practices.

	About the Author NUJ/LFB Member Paul Trummel has written hundreds of articles on corporate, union, senior and academic abuse, and institutionalized racism. He founded Contra Cabal (one of the first electronic magazines to appear on the web) for which he develops the site, writes articles, designs pages, and produces graphics. Published in print since 1944 and on the web since 1992, without a single challenge to the authenticity of his reporting, he has spent sixty years as a trade union member and elected delegate, twenty years as a new media industry CEO and systems designer/consultant, and thirty years as a post-graduate professor teaching computer industry executives and students of journalism, law, and graphic design working on masters or doctoral degrees. He has attended or chaired hundreds of faculty and trade union committee meetings including national conventions. The web sites contain articles and descriptions of unlawful prior restraints and abrogation of journalism rights also details of imprisonment and ongoing Internet harassment using denial-of-service attacks. Probably one of the first sites of its type to appear on the web, Contra Cabal has published since 1992. Club JournoScam - Academic Corruption - Elder Abuse - Archives - Contra Cabal Foundation Ltd. Articles cover criminal activity by bureaucrats, union officials, and abusers of elderly people. They describe the actions of corrupt judges and gross misconduct by lawyers who file frivolous law suits against tenants in government financially-assisted housing. They reveal how people in authority use retaliatory measures and propaganda to destroy the reputations of people who report illegal activity and racism. Details of academic credentials and professional qualifications counter record falsification, withholding, and destruction, also forgery by registrars at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and University of Washington. Some articles challenge libel/slander maliciously circulated as part of an international campaign of character assassination, personal vilification, subornation, and perjury to effect prior restraint. Jeremy Dear, NUJ General Secretary recently joined in that defamation. He muckraked to find and extract libelous statements and used them out of context. That suited his purpose to defame the author and to cover-up his eight-year neglect to support him on issues that affect all journalists. NUJ media blackouts cover up his dereliction. Roy Martin Mincoff (NUJ in-house solicitor) negotiated a £262,000.00 quid pro quo between NUJ and the author's member of parliament, Gareth R Thomas MP (Harrow West), Minister of State, Department for International Development in a distinct conflict of interest. Both Mincoff and his predecessor Claire S Kirby (Thompsons Solicitors, Cardiff) are under investigation by Regulation Authority for professional misconduct. Criminal complaints are pending against NUJ officials and NEC officers for fraud and neglect to provide member services.

Letter to David C Broom HM Consul, Seattle April 14, 2002 Her Britannic Majesty's Consul General 900 Fourth Avenue #3001 Seattle, WA 98164 Dear Sir/Madam: Re: Professor Paul Trummel My colleague and friend, Paul Trummel, is incarcerated in King County North Rehabilitation Facility, because he has courageously taken a stand for truth and justice; because he writes it, speaks it, publishes it; because he exposes corruption and upholds freedom; because he thoroughly and tenaciously researches and because he is willing to put his personal freedom on the line. His incarceration reveals the power of class, position, and politics to silence truth by bending law, by falsely accusing, and denying due process. Paul refused the option to exchange his personal freedom for removal of his European website. But then, why should Paul do that when the European website does not come under the jurisdiction of the US courts? He chose jail, not to be heroic, but to live his life with integrity and to make his bid for free expression, the most precious gift of all. In doing this, he has provided a rare opportunity for reporters and journalists around the world to expose the forces that would stifle that freedom. The letter to you from judge James A Doerty and its enclosures contained disinformation. Please read the enclosed news releases then send a representative to interview Paul Trummel in the North Rehabilitation Facility regarding his unlawful incarceration. Sincerely, Rosalie A Gillman

Letter to the Editor It looks to me like a series of internal institutional corruptions where the victim ends up in solitary confinement without a trial and with his life at risk. When a child errs, he/she is usually instructed by the parent responsible for the child’s emotional and spiritual well-being, as well as the basic health of the community as a whole, to "admit and make restitution". What does an institution do when it errs? In these cases each has instituted a series of cover-ups and it appears the only way any of the people involved believe they can extricate themselves is to hope that the victim dies, try to kill him overtly, apply continued pressure, or act illegally to wipe him out of existence. These are not healthy institutions. It is incredible that the characters in this play consist of two presidents of universities, a falsely qualified dean of a university graduate program, directors of apartments for independent living, a phony UK consul general, and officials of National Union of Journalists who are supposed to be public gatekeepers, yet all evidence points in that direction. None of these institutions follow the advice given even by a responsible parent to a child. By any means, each institution has felt it necessary to exchange one man's life and reputation in order to cover up it's own institutional failure. Not only that, but as time goes on and harassment continues, each has increasingly involved more and more innocent people in their machinations, thus producing more victims. Obviously, in the minds of these administrators, the institution takes precedence, no matter who dies, who goes to jail, or who becomes innocently and illegally involved. It is an appalling scenario for vulnerable citizens who depend upon the ethical behavior and honesty of their institutions - the elderly for security of person as in the independent living scenario, or in the instance of the universities, the students for faith in honesty for the tuition they pay, the governments for security of persons for whom they are accountable, or for the journalist unions for preserving the integrity of the fourth estate. These are institutions who have behaved irresponsibly, yet they are responsible for hundreds of people temporarily under their care. They are institutions that have been corrupted and in need of reform. Inasmuch as they refuse to reform themselves, for the sake of the people they serve, it seems that a combination of exposure and legal action in a real court of justice or an independent public inquiry, complete with a real investigation, is the only recourse.

Letter to the Editor A friend recently told me she was studying comparative religions and the subject matter came around to Judaism. My friend wrote: "Wow, you people are really something to be admired. You must be very proud of your Jewish heritage." The response to that statement is two-fold because it poses two questions: What has been done to Seattle Jews from a historical perspective? What history are Seattle Jews making today? After reading how the Jewish Mafia operates in Seattle at Council House, an apartment block for senior living, I cannot help contrasting it to my own experience growing up Jewish in Seattle. On the one hand it was being "done to". On the other it has become "doing to", “it” being hate-mongering at its worst. The answer to my friend then, on the subject of proud, or not, to be Jewish is this: Regarding my Jewish heritage, I don't know what you mean but I am happy you find it fascinating. For the most part for me it has meant mainly prejudice, fear, Nazism, cultism, and patriarchy. It has never served me positively. On the other hand, Jungian psychology/philosophy has been my course and continues to support my psyche's conscious development - my "religion" of sorts. There has been a renewed interest in Judaism among some of my other non-Jewish friends as well; however, I don't agree that it is anything in particular to admire. History shows that being Jewish is to be feared, profiled, and done away with. Jews have had to fight to survive but that doesn't make them somebody to be admired. Survival is a built-in human feature. Then of course it is necessary for a discussion to decide if we are talking about a religion (orthodox, conservative, reform, Zionist), a race, or what. I frankly do not relate to any of it. It served me well when Hitler was in power, when my Mt. Baker neighborhood where I grew up was mostly Christian, and anti-Semitic. Consequently, I developed some close Jewish friends outside of my neighborhood, but that was long ago. We ran together for safety. Thank God I do not have to do that now and can live in relative peace. I will end this piece by saying that my father was against all religions claiming that they were the cause of all wars. I strongly agree. I claim to live a strong spiritual life relying on the source of energy that I find within. That same energy I believe is available for all of creation. Name withheld by request.

Letter to the Editor "Let us Assume" says Judge Mary Kay Becker As an American citizen I would hate to think that justice is as poor in the rest of the United States as is reflected in this hearing in Seattle, WA. As a former secondary teacher, I am equally appalled at the quality of education as reflected by Judge Becker’s comments. Somebody in her teacher training missed the axiom: this is the problem, what is the issue. Becker herself introduced and kept insisting on the “merits” of the case when there were, as Mr. Crittenden pointed out, no merits, as none had ever been allowed. She presses on - “Let us assume,” says Judge Becker, “that it is true that Mr. Trummel was wandering around, etc.” Why not “assume” otherwise? How can you “assume”, jail someone without discovery or legal representation, then place him in solitary confinement? She goes on to say that it “appears” that what Mr. Trummel would have done in response to a 3 am prohibition would have been to start knocking on doors at 2 am. Once again, she “assumes”. It is conjecture, never taking into consideration that possibly Professor Trummel was not an elderly pamphlet happy senile person without a reason for walking the halls and distributing pamphlets. She goes further to say that Mr. Trummel was an “unpopular person” - unpopular with whom, possibly unpopular with the right people? Now that the “non merits” of the case have been insinuated into the hearing by Judge Becker, Mr. Somerville feels free to state that Mr. Trummel was posting pamphlets on doors which personally harassed the tenants behind those doors. I never read any indication that was the case – more that the writing and distribution of the pamphlets were encouraged and approved by some tenants who claimed they were being abused. Professor Trummel is also a journalist. The six pamphlets were legally distributed to every tenant who, given the opportunity, did not “opt out” of receiving them and they were critical of Council House management in regard to some tenants’ welfare. The court completely ignored the possibility that it was tenants, in particular the subsidized tenants, who were being harassed by the administration; some were ostracized, some evicted, some illegally incarcerated, others died. [Full Text]

Another Jim Jones? Stephen A. (aka Stefan) Mitchell is easy to understand if one looks at him as he sees himself - like a charismatic cult leader, above the law, on a mission from God and in charge of his flock, tenants of Council House who are incapable of living a happy life without his input and guidance. Stephen A Mitchell ADMINISTRATOR and RESIDENT PSYCHOPATH He now wants to extend his mission to the neighborhood, creating a response to the "drunks, addicts and homeless" to rid the neighborhood of the unwanted whom he feels have no right to exist in his world. Rebuffed by the police who told him to leave them alone as they were not breaking the law, he requested the Quest phone company to install a no loitering sign on their building, making it impossible for them to warm themselves on the vents on the side of the building. The neighbors have no idea they are responding to the request of a sick person. Mitchell presents himself (his words) as a "musical minister" who tours to share God and happiness with others with his singing. He believes he is not interfering with our lives; he is "saving" us. He speaks derogatorily of the shelters and halfway houses in the area and thinks they should move. He says he wants to be surrounded by happy people and he will be "happy" to move anyone who isn't satisfied with his leadership. Today (17 Aug 05) he wanted to build a fence around the property. When the tenants objected, he became very angry. Everything in his environment must be controlled and his environment is growing by leaps and bounds. He twists the law so that it supports his premises. The "rude and abusive" terminology, which he has managed to get by HUD and put into our leases, has never been defined; he alone decides who is to be punished. There is no appeal; he is always "right", anyone who disagrees with him is "wrong" and deserves his punishment. This morning he announced that people have to learn there are penalties for their behavior. He now wants more jail time for Paul Trummel who spoke out about his management of Council House. He has no internal controls. Today's sermon was a repeat performance: "if you don't like it here, leave" and anyone who is uncomfortable, write a complaint and we will rid ourselves of that person. People have asked me why I don't just get out - it is mind boggling, as if everyone should leave him to run his little piece of controlled hell and not mind who he hurts. Do they think instead of trying to correct the situation, I should run away? I hold degrees in psychology and behavioral science and have worked with psychologically and emotionally distressed persons in many arenas (my resume will show that). I diagnose Stephen Mitchell as having the same profile as Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Jim Jones and the like. He is a sociopath with no conscience about whom he hurts in order to meet his ends. He has destroyed people's lives with his policies and that is the focus. A tenant approached me following today's meeting to tell me she hoped I could do something as Mitchell had destroyed the lives of two of her friends by his unfair eviction process. I hope this helps you understand the terror of Mitchell's psychosis - that he can affect so many people and is expanding. Remember how Jim Jones started in San Francisco? The authorities thought he was terrific and he had widespread support. Whenever Mitchell talks about people who have resisted him, his face distorts and his anger pours out. He says it is a chance to be kind, by having people take him to court, "but it is so hard because they are making so much trouble and costing the tenants money". He never takes responsibility for the cost of having to defend him in court and the problem is that "he" disregards others' rights. Lawyers argued before Washington Supreme Court that he misrepresented himself in speaking for the tenants yet he insists he has that right so that we, the tenants, have to foot his legal bills. Now he complains the patio can't be completed until next year as the court costs have eaten up the tenant money. According to him, if everyone would leave him alone, everyone would be happy. Many people have told me they support me fully but can't take the chance to go to the authorities for fear of retribution from Mitchell. The sadness I feel for their fear and stress keeps me going. Lauren Jeanne Hawk, Tenant Council House, Seattle, Washington. Editorial Reprise Having survived a sting and now in fear of her life with progressive health complications and continued harassment, Hawk abandoned her case before the mandate to pay the lawyers became final and made a decision to leave the state after accepting a substantial bribe. Her retreat prevents her from testifying in pending and future Council House lawsuits for damages that could amount to eight-digit settlements. In view of other alleged homicides by abuse, Hawk has probably saved her own life by moving to California. Before she left Washington state, Hawk said: "I have been very ill and am in danger of dying from heart complications if I don't relieve my stress. So I signed off on the appeal before the mandate was done and I am packing to leave now. . . . I can no longer deal with this situation. . . . I need to disconnect from Council House or I will be another death by elder abuse by Mitchell et al. . . . I cannot discuss the settlement and I received no money for the lawyers as I withdrew the appeal. I withdrew the appeal so that there will be no further action. . . . they didn't have to pay [the lawyers]. It is over and I really need rest and that is why I withdrew." Previously, Mitchell physically assaulted Hawk who, confined in a wheelchair, could not defend herself. Mitchell also disposed of another potential witness by bribing him to leave Washington state. Don Patrick worked as a paralegal for Tenants Union of Washington State and testified in several successful lawsuits against Mitchell. He lived at Council House for about a decade and acted as a tenant advocate. He received many threats of eviction for his advocacy and in bad health has eventually capitulated to constant harassment by Mitchell and his enforcers. A source said that Patrick called from California to say that he needed an attorney in Seattle to address other Council House tenant issues. [Witness Tampering]
