Tell it to the Judge - Reprise
Publication of the original edition of Tell it to the Judge, by Jiminy! (28iSepi05), which featured and exposed alleged criminal activity and professional misconduct by a Bullshit Harass Bendover (BHB) lawyer, has evidently caused the firm to violate Internet Acceptable Use Policies (AUP).
Instead of addressing the issues contained in the article through a continuing dialog between lawyers, BHB decided to try to kill the messenger. The firm has effectively tried to close down Contra Cabal web site using a denial-of-service attack.
Having achieved worldwide infamy, BHB has hit the news again by "flooding" the Internet, thereby preventing legitimate traffic to flow. Such attacks can disable a web site and by extension an organization. Generally, denial-of-service attacks attempt to prevent legitimate users from accessing specific web sites. [Seattle Jewish Mafia] [Tell it to the Judge - Open Letter]
Contra Cabal published a cartoon (28 Sep 05) depicting how a harassed plaintiff had withdrawn from a federal case after intimidation by a BHB lawyer and others. Instead of assuaging racism and elder abuse, that lawyer helped Stephen A. Mitchell ratchet up coercion to a point where the seventy-five year old witness withdrew from the case in distress. [Tell it to the Judge, by Jiminy!]
On day of publication, Bertie Bullshit, Bullshit Harass Bendover (BHB), a Seattle law firm, called William C. Crittenden, a lawyer handling matters connected with Contra Cabal, to complain about the cartoon. Crittenden told him to put any complaint he had in writing.
Bullshit faxed a letter (28 Sep 05) questioning the author’s emotional stability, probably a psychological transference of Bullshit's own irrational and illogical behavior - behavior commensurate with the sociopathic dysfunction of Mitchell. Mitchell repeatedly fails to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behavior giving grounds for arrest while BHB and SCaB cover up his crimes. [Ravening Sociopath]
Bullshit demanded that the cartoon be removed from the web site within twenty-four hours or he would seek “other remedies”. Crittenden responded the same day that the cartoon represented pure speech and that the web site classified as a public forum fully protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. He informed Bullshit that his complaints about the web site had no legal merit in light of constitutional protections.
The author refused to comply with a demand which violated his constitutional right to publish. In response to the unwarranted assault on his mental state and integrity, he published a follow-up article entitled Tell it to the Judge, by Jiminy! (30 Sep 05). That article further explained the involvement of Bullshit Harass and Bendover (BHB) in professional misconduct during several inquiries into racism and elder abuse at Council House, Seattle. The author also published a media release (02 Oct 05) in accordance with normal publishing practice.
[Tell it to the Judge, by Jiminy!]
Evidently, one of the “other remedies” BHB threatened involved a criminal denial-of-service attack. The culprit violated federal law by transmitting data designed to harm network services. Unlawful flooding of the web site with hits commenced the following day (03 Oct 05) and continued for nine days.
Primarily, denial-of-service attacks consume limited network resources which can eventually crash the site and/or the server. Several investigative reporters, systems analysts, and Internet service providers helped to determine the type of assault and to identity the perpetrator.
A complaint to Qwest Internet service provider (11 Oct 05) brought no reply; however, Qwest system operator responsible for network abuse immediately took action. After nine days flooding, with almost 250,000 malicious hits, the flow ceased.
The attack interfered with third party systems and services by “flooding” the web site. The attack could have resulted in denial of service to the site by a third party network provider if it had not received immediate attention, probably the intent of the attack.
The author intends to inform federal and EU authorities who will hopefully investigate and press charges. The conduct will also form part of a future complaint under Washington State Bar Association Rules for Professional Conduct. [RPC Rule 8.4 Misconduct]
The attack followed a pattern established by Stephen A. Mitchell, Council House, Seattle, when he tried to persuade a Seattle service provider to destroy the same web site. He has since closed a computer lab evidently to prevent tenants accessing Contra Cabal.
Judge James A. Doerty also tried to coerce removal of Contra Cabal by sending the author to jail and solitary confinement. Doerty gave Council House lawyers a cloak of anonymity and impunity which has since encouraged other wrongdoing. Doerty’s finding now awaits the result of a review by Washington Supreme Court. [Supreme Court Review] [Impunity]
BHB recently joined the nefarious cabal internationally known as the Scab Family. That cabal follows an established pattern by using straws to perform its dirty work by proxy. SCaB not only condones but actively encourages professional misconduct among its lawyers. BHB lawyers consort and assist them in several federal and state law cases that address elder abuse and racism by Council House administrators.
[The Scab Family] [Straw-Man Stratagem]
Quest may suspend or terminate service to any user that it determines has violated any element of Internet AUPs by indulging in prohibited conduct. BHB deliberately and maliciously caused havoc with statistical analysis of Contra Cabal web site which could have caused closure of the site. BHB used a computer-driven device to increase hits to a point beyond acceptable ISP limits. By that, it violated Qwest AUP terms to which it specifically agreed, also international AUPs.
Quest users must operate the network only in a manner consistent with its intended and lawful purposes. They may not transmit, distribute, or otherwise use products or services that violate any Internet AUP or applicable laws and regulations. In particular, they must not adversely affect other Qwest customers such as Contra Cabal.

Harassed Plaintiff Withdraws - US District Court
After more than five years of harassment and denial of constitutional rights by their landlord Stephen A. Mitchell (40), Pola Doenyas (75) and Gilda Kabbani (70±) decided to bring his persecution to an end. They filed in US District Court, Western District of Washington, for injunctive relief. Doenyas has now withdrawn as a plaintiff. [Constitutional Rights Initiative] [Lawyer - Open Letter]
Doenyas wrote: "I am sorry that I cannot be strong enough to participate in anything. I am worried a lot. I feel my life is coming to an end. I have been suffering from headaches. . . . [This] is ruining my health physically and emotionally. I received numerous calls from people that read about me on the Internet; they reprimand me and I cannot deal with life". [Pattern or Practice]
Gretchen H-rb-s-n, Bullshit Harass Bendover (BHB), Seattle, a lawyer acting for Mitchell and Council House, has filed a duplicitous response to a motion set for hearing (30 Sep 05). [Complaint] [Motion for Preliminary Injunction] [Response] [Lawyer - Open Letter]
In a parallel Council House case, H-rb-s-n transmitted confidential information to Mitchell who immediately tampered with some witnesses and intimidated others. Those witnesses included Doenyas and Kabbani. [Racial Prejudice and Civil Rights]

Tell it to the Judge, by Jiminy!
Contra Cabal welcomes Gretchen am Spinnrade, Bullshit Harass Bendover (BHB), to the nefarious Silence Censor Beleaguer (SCaB) group of lawyers (internationally known as the Scab family) which acts as counsel for Council House, Seattle. Gretchen ranks as the latest of more than a dozen incompetent and corrupt lawyers whom Stephen A. Mitchell (40), a Seattle building manager, and his directors have employed during the past five years.
[The Scab Family - BHB Joins]
That number does not take into account other lawyers and straw judges whom Council House used for their ex parte dirty work. They all protected Mitchell while he abused elderly people and deprived them of their constitutional rights. [Constitutional Rights Initiative]
[Straw-Man Stratagem] [Seattle Office of Civil Rights] [Racial Prejudice and Civil Rights]
Silence Censor Beleaguer classifies as a rogue law firm. It employs inept, scabrous tyros straight out of school to handle dirty work for its clients. The partners apparently have a revolving door employment policy.
Gretchen has evidently got her panties in a twist over a constitutionally protected cartoon published in Contra Cabal. Like the traditional Gretchen, she sits singing at her spinning-wheel while thinking of her next Faustian move. Meanwhile, Bertie Bullshit watches admiringly, then insinuates himself into situations that he neither understands nor properly researches.
Gretchen has shown that her legal strategies mimic the spinning-wheel, speeding up and slowing down at certain parts of the proceedings always with an eye to evasion and duplicity - a perfect companion for Mitchell who has become an idol to a stream of female attorneys (and a few queer lawyers and judges). The time fast approaches when they will all receive poetic justice.
Now, the gallant and chivalrous Bertie Bullshit has jumped to protect his protégé and castrated himself in the process. He wrote to William J. Crittenden (a lawyer who does not mind his name being mentioned) to complain about a cartoon.
Bullshit had the impudence to demand removal of that cartoon from Contra Cabal website. A satirical composition, the cartoon fully complied with an order handed down by King County juvenile Judge James A. Doerty - a prior restraint that now awaits reversal after oral argument in Washington Supreme Court (23 Jun 05). Bullshit chose to defy a Superior Court order then preempt a Supreme Court decision with threats. [Supreme Court Review]
The cartoonist employed pseudonyms in compliance with specific court direction. They may or may not refer to individuals. However, Bullshit demanded that the author remove the cartoon from the web site within 24 hours and threatened undefined "other remedies". Typical of SCaB lawyers, Bertie used his first contact with the author to threaten and demean him. Threatening a satirist with legal (or illegal) "remedies" for publishing his work compares with prodding a sleeping tiger with a pitchfork.
Bullshit neither stated with particularity which statements he found defamatory nor cited an authority supporting his demand. He merely claimed that he found statements in a cartoon offensive and assumed that they applied to an employee of his firm. He claimed that he feared the author would contact employees of BHB. However, Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) does not list a firm under the name Bullshit Harass Bendover so how would one know who to contact?
Bullshit then cast arbitrary doubts on the emotional stability of the author which opens the door for doubting Bullshit's mental competence. For an "attorney" to write 160 words in a letter containing threats that he will remove constitutional rights without any legal foundation whatsoever, boggles the mind. It also indicates that he may have psychological problems.
It seems that Bullshit and Gretchen have come under the pernicious, charismatic shtik of their client. Many people have recognized Mitchell as a raving sociopath like several other members of the dysfunctional Scab family and their queer straw Judge James A. Doerty. Bullshit and Gretchen apparently fit right into the family with their irrational comments and unprofessional behavior. [The Scab Family]
In the last five years, Mitchell has incurred liabilities and expenditures on frivolous law suits that probably exceed what most large companies would spend in twenty or thirty years. Most of the complaints that he has filed he has fantasized. It seems that Bertie Bullshit has accepted Mitchell's lies and deception and joined his followers in believing his fantasies and projection. Psychological transference has certainly become endemic in Seattle legal circles.
Transference, defines as a psychoanalytical process whereby a person passes or displaces his own emotions to another person. During psychoanalysis the displacement of feelings toward others (usually the parents) passes to the analyst. In rhetoric, the emotional displacement of people who recognize themselves in satirical exposé passes to the satirist. Bullshit should probably contact his shrink, not the author's lawyers.
Like other members of the Scab family, Bullshit apparently deals with his own emotional conflict (internal or external stresses) by falsely attributing to people he does not know his own unacceptable feelings, impulses, or thoughts through projection, and transference to sate his need to control. This manifests in a pattern or practice of retaliating against people in violation of their civil and constitutional rights when they report wrongdoing - definitely a sign of derangement in a lawyer.
Similarly, Mitchell bases most of his actions upon transference or projection which classifies not only as illegal but also as immoral. In his denial, he has now ludicrously introduced sensitivity training for staff probably to try to correct his own emotional problems which he projected onto them in the first place.
It seems from his letter that Bullshit remains perfectly aware of his own affects or impulses then deliberately misinterprets them as justifiable reaction to other people. He mirrors the behavior of his client, an out-of-work actor, who uses his thespian skills to choreograph and project his own sociopathic traits onto others which makes it difficult to know who did what to whom first.
Evidently, Bullshit missed Rhetoric 101 in law school in which law students learn the basics of argumentation and the use of satire. If he had attended that course, then he would have learned, perhaps from this professor, that one never attacks a satirist first. That rule has prevailed since Aristophanes and Juvenal. He really should prepare an abject apology before the rhetorical guns really open up on him and his firm. However, his arrogance will probably not allow him to do that. If Gretchen had not behaved unprofessionally or illegally, then nothing would need satirizing to draw attention to her wrongdoing. [Racial Prejudice and Civil Rights]
[Seattle Office of Civil Rights]
Jonathan Swift claimed that people see a reflection of everybody's face but their own in satirical portrayal - that writing offends only those who recognize themselves. Apparently, Gretchen has recognized herself.

Lawyer Games

Washington State Bar Association [RPC Rule 8.4 Misconduct]

One of life’s primal situations; the game of hide and seek. Oh, the delicious thrill of hiding while the others come looking for you, the delicious terror of being discovered, but what panic when, after a long search, the others abandon you! You mustn’t hide too well. You mustn’t be too good at the game. The player must never be bigger than the game itself.

First Amendment to the US Constitution protects reporters (and cartoonists) against prior restraint and prohibitions on genre or content and prevents people from gagging them. Moreover, WSBA determines that lawyers, whose life and behavior result in public focus or interest, must remain accountable.
Lawyers must not try to cover up their own crimes or those of their staff by unlawfully trying to silence reporters. Satire and political cartoons classify as protected speech under the First Amendment even if individuals assume the role then do not appreciate the humor.
Contra Cabal web site contains pure speech in a public forum. First Amendment to the United States Constitution fully protects that speech. Consequently, Bullshit's complaints have no legal merit.
Washington State Court Rules of Professional Conduct [RPC] require lawyers to make a full disclosure of their interest. Those rules contain nothing that allows lawyers to remain anonymous and unidentifiable. Yet Judge James A. Doerty issued an order that gives the Scab family protection from exposure and allows them to act unlawfully in a similar way to their clients.
[RPC Rule 8.4 Misconduct] [Impunity]
By that, Doerty placed a prior restraint upon an author. In effect, he granted the Scab Family a license to kill and sanctioned a conspiracy - a confederacy among lawyers and judges supporting unlawful or criminal acts. [Court-Facilitated Terror]

It is important to understand SOCR’s role of neutrality during the filing, investigation and resolution of your claim. SOCR does not take sides in a case. We do not "speak for" the Charging Party; nor do we "represent" the Respondent. Our job is to enforce the City of Seattle’s anti-discrimination laws. We strive to be fair, honest and impartial.

BHB has not explained its involvement in professional misconduct and interference in a civil rights inquiry by one of its lawyers. That inquiry by Seattle Office of Civil Rights (SOCR) into a complaint by a tenant addressed multiple instances of racism at Council House. The current BHB stance in that inquiry mocks its statement that “BHB fosters a workplace culture of inclusion that respects and values the diverse backgrounds, beliefs, differences and life experiences of each individual”. [Seattle Office of Civil Rights] [Racial Prejudice and Civil Rights]
[Whitewash]
Bullshit and his protégé Gretchen have joined the dysfunctional Scab family and shown that they fully qualify for membership. New clients should start to wonder whether Bullshit has reported his mental condition before giving him any assignments. Existing clients probably already know the situation from painful experience. If Bullshit has any more nightmares about Contra Cabal, then perhaps Mitchell, Gretchen, and Jiminy should go with him for dream analysis. They could probably get a group rate if they all see a shrink at the same time.

Editorial Note
|
|
Targeted individuals initially attacked the author and maliciously discredited him by libel and slander. They also committed unlawful acts or professional misconduct that further damaged him. Prior to publication, all individuals mentioned had several chances to mitigate damage and to refute statements that could negatively affect their reputations. Pseudonyms may or may not refer to real individuals or firms. The author has to comply with a specific court direction and will consider replacing them with names if people who identify with the characters waive Doerty's prior restraint.

Civil and Human Rights Violations
|
|
Fourteen articles describe racism and civil rights violations by Stephen A. Mitchell, directors, lawyers, staff, Kapos (enforcers), and some tenants at Council House during the past five years. They contain evidence of dereliction by government officials and their investigators which has resulted in unlawful evictions of physically and financially disadvantaged elderly people.
|
|
Council House directors have shown indifference to tenant abuse by managers and their thugs. They have denied tenants their right to complain in violation of their constitutional right to freedom of expression. They have also either threatened them with eviction or evicted them for filing legitimate complaints with government agencies.
|
|
Fully researched and documented, the articles allege that government officials have not dealt with complaints in accordance with law. They have consorted with Council House directors and their lawyers to conduct a whitewash of multiple instances of elder abuse and racism. By that, they violated Civil Rights Act Title VIII and Seattle Open Housing Ordinance.
|
|
Investigation revealed an extensive pattern or practice of elder abuse, violation of civil and human rights, and denial of due process of law. The term "pattern or practice" means an intentional violation of rights granted by the Civil Rights Act evidenced by more than an isolated instance, or by regular repeated conduct in violation of that Act.
|
|
John W. Meyers, US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); Thomas A. Carr, City Attorney, City of Seattle; Germaine W. Covington, Director, Seattle Office of Civil Rights (SOCR); Norm Maleng, King County Prosecuting Attorney; and their employees, have neglected to investigate allegations of racism, elder abuse, and homicide by abuse. Evidently, they covered up those crimes for political expediency. Consequently, two Council House tenants filed in US District Court, Western District of Washington, for injunctive relief.
|
|
Prior to publication, all people mentioned had a chance to refute statements that could negatively affect their reputations or cause investigation or prosecution.
