NUJ Club JournoScam - Politics of Deceit - Introduction
Facts that Jeremy Dear, NUJ General Secretary and NUJ Lawyers do not want Members to know.

International Federation of Journalists
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.
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.

Judge James A Doerty, Washington Superior Court claimed (in a decision later reversed by WA Supreme Court) that interviews by journalists with willing sources defined as harassment and news gathering constituted illegal surveillance and stalking. He then conspired with David C Broom, then British Consul, to ratchet up coercion for removal of EU hosted web sites by transferring an NUJ journalist to incommunicado solitary confinement among murderers and rapists. The journalist languished in jail for 111 days of an indeterminate sentence before a public defender had him released on a writ similar to habeas corpus.
Jeremy Dear, NUJ General Secretary and Claire S Kirby (then NUJ in-house solicitor) neglected to act under Vienna Convention, United States First Amendment, United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the United Kingdom Human Rights Act. Roy Martin Mincoff (present NUJ in-house solicitor) has since covered up their dereliction by negotiating an illegal 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. Investigation has revealed a distinct conflict of interest which denied due process under international laws.
[Quid Pro Quo] [John Pilger - New Statesman] [The Journalist]
Reginald (Tim) Gopsill, Editor, Journalist (NUJ magazine) ordered an absolute media blackout which has lasted for seven years which prevented NUJ members from offering solidarity to a union member of sixty years standing. By that, Dear, Gopsill, Thomas, and NUJ in-house lawyers neglected to provide constituent or member support guaranteed by parliament and Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (the Act). [Media Blackout]
If union members maintain a conspiracy of silence about illegal acts, then eventually the reputation of the whole trade union movement suffers. The public identifies the innocent with the guilty when details of corruption eventually surface. Members cannot improve the public perception of trade unions while union officials and members of parliament abuse the overriding rights and welfare of members.
Ethical members do not conceal abuse of office to give the appearance of justice. They voluntarily reveal what they know to insure due process and freedom of expression through solidarity - union of fundamental interests, purposes, and sympathies based in law.
NUJ cabal (clique), an exclusive circle of officials and officers, clandestinely usurps power and performs illegal acts for political expedience and personal gain after arrogating trade union power in violation of the Act. Cabal members, jointly and severally, have denied member rights and due process of law. By that, they have obstructed justice.
Jeremy Dear attended a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting (26 Oct 01) at which NEC announced his election as NUJ General Secretary (effective 01 Feb 02). Constituents returned 6,402 papers out of 24,872 issued and Dear received 3,427 votes. Following his election LFB newsletter proclaimed: Hail to the chief Jeremy Dear, General Secretary of the NUJ. . . . pledged to “protect journalists and journalism; tackle copyright grabs and improve freelance rates”. Dear returned unopposed in 2006 for an additional five-year term. An NUJ general secretary has not previously returned unopposed in over a century.

During his first term, Dear surrounded himself with sycophants that insured his reelection unopposed as often occurs in despotic regimes. Jubilation about that reelection seems ludicrous. Essentially, nobody wished to run and take the chance of inheriting an oligarchy which had misappropriated executive authority.
The present anarchy points up a real need to actively promote opposing candidates to insure that incumbents do not retire in place. Members must learn from the current situation and overcome the extant apathy to insure that multiple candidates run for all elected positions: essential to maintain democracy and dispose of recalcitrant cabals.
A general secretary who abuses and humiliates members upon whom he relies for his livelihood, manifests stupidity. To extend that behavior into a coordinated campaign based upon an apparent antisocial personality disorder ranks much more seriously.
Dear’s alleged dysfunction has made him a prime target for unscrupulous or incompetent lawyers whom he religiously parrots: a generally acknowledged psychotropic pattern. The present situation warrants impeachment proceedings to rectify the undemocratic imbalance; otherwise, Dear will remain as general secretary until (31 Jan 12), if not jailed in the meantime.
On his watch as general secretary, Dear has supervised two legal officers both members of the Law Society (UK): Claire Susan Kirby SRA #21078 (21 Oct 99 through 01 Sep 05) and Roy Martin Mincoff SRA #112029 (03 Aug 05 through present). Each of them has allegedly committed gross professional misconduct and unsatisfactorily completed a Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) resolution procedure; consequently, SRA now has them under investigation.
They both provided false and misleading information during several mitigation opportunities. Like foxes that hear the sound of barking, they have gone to ground which makes them subject to disciplinary action by SRA.
Mincoff has set up yet another merry-go-round which amounts to nothing more than "bait and switch". It is quite obvious that he has no intention of complying with SRA regulations and NUJ rules; instead, in a consort with other officials he continues to compound the problems.
He consistently prepares outrageous comments which Dear parrots and Kirby has remained incommunicative in Thompsons Solicitors, Cardiff Office. They have both coerced proxies (straws) to handle their correspondence in an attempt to distance themselves from the issues. In a consort with other officials, Mincoff has used proxies, pseudonyms, and email aliases fraudulently. A check with sources found neither the people nor the addresses that he referenced.
Officials continue to try to confuse the issues by using false and misleading aliases and Mincoff continues to contact the author despite several requests to Dear for him to keep him on a leash while SRA investigates the issues which effectively classify as sub judice. Law enforcement agencies also have Dear and Mincoff under investigation which means that any provocation interprets as harassment.

Politics of Deceit - NUJ Freelance Rights Month - July 2009 |
||||||||
When NUJ Commissar Jeremy Dear announced Freelance Month he disingenuously said: Club JournoScam intends to let freelance members know what they really face and how Dear and a team of sycophants repeatedly scam them for political expediency. Readers can write to the editor about their experiences. If requested, names will be withheld to avoid retaliation by NUJ officials which evidently occurred when a member spoke his mind.

Although oligarchy and anarchy do not normally share the same political space, Jeremy Dear has managed to cultivate coexistence (a fertile ground for despotism) which portends another trade union disaster reminiscent of the 1980s. NUJ now consists of a strange political mix which has resulted in a system of leadership based upon fear, discrimination, and harassment that results from coercion, intimidation and propaganda.
NUJ officials deny civil and human rights to members despite international laws to the contrary. Dear emulates Pooh Bah, Lord-High-Everything-Else: a pompous, ostentatious administrator employed to perform many job functions and who fulfills none of them. Instead of addressing issues, he relies upon pathological lying and transference of his own dysfunction onto others.
NUJ members need to make up their minds on issues without indoctrination by officials following secret political or financial agendas. Independent thinking goes hand-in-hand with the right to come to conclusions independently. Anything less smacks of neo-fascism. Democracy means individuating then application of critical inquiry to achieve compromise.

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. The author's professional and academic credentials and curriculum vitae (about fifty pages) can be accessed from the menus at the top of each page. Anyone with an ethical reason can ask for verification and validation of any of the claims made on those pages.
