Dereliction and Collusion - City of Seattle
Alleged Dereliction and Unlawful Collusion among
Thomas A. Carr, Seattle City Attorney,
his assistants Michael J. Finkle, Robert W. Hood, and
T. Sean Sheehan (an apologist for Mayor Greg Nickels),
in consort with
Stephen A. Mitchell, Council House directors, and their lawyers.
Seattle Jewish Mafia (SJM), a faith-based initiative similar to Al Quaeda, has destroyed Contra Cabal web site three times. It attempted to silence the author and to cover up elder abuse by Council House directors using unlawful means to prevent constitutionally protected speech. [Seattle Jewish Mafia] [The Mob] [Kill the Messenger - WIP]
With similar intent, Seattle City Attorney Thomas A. Carr, has issued six criminal indictments against the author. He has attempted to intimidate, silence, and return the author to jail on trumped-up charges - charges similar to those used by Judge James A. Doerty to jail and place him in solitary confinement (27 Feb 02).
Washington Supreme Court reversed both the trial court finding (Doerty) and the appellate court affirmation (Becker) (30 Mar 06). [Washington Supreme Court - Decision]
Carr’s behavior, as an elected official, ranks as truly kafkaesque. In an attempt to preempt the Supreme Court decision, he has evidently tried to pervert the course of justice. Fabricating or interfering with evidence and threatening or intimidating witnesses both classify as criminal offenses punishable by a jail sentence.
SJM has shown a pattern of racketeering (defined by the Civil Rights Act and RICO statute). 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. Instead of challenging the perpetrators, Carr and his team of lawyers have colluded with them by indicting a victim.
Michael J. Finkle (a judge wannabe and lawyer employed by City of Seattle), in consort with Jeaneen Watkins (responsible for harassment and elder abuse complaints), has ignored legitimate Council House tenant complaints for several years. Watkins failed to follow City procedures for harassment complaints that would have shown the falsity of contentions by Stephen A. Mitchell.
If Watkins had followed procedures, then she would have found that Mitchell choreographed them in order to harass and intimidate the author to prevent him revealing a plethora of crimes that he and his directors have committed. Willfully accepting a false report and filing it with a law enforcement agency classifies as a serious criminal offense. [RCW 9A.76.175] [RCW 40.16.030]
City of Seattle lawyers and police have denied due process of law. Instead, they have colluded with Mitchell in a vicious vilification and blackmail campaign against elderly people who have reported crimes to government oversight authorities. They have consorted with Mitchell in recording myriad false reports and accepted false and misleading statements made to them at face value.

Offering False Instrument for Filing or Record - RCW 40.16.030
|
|
Every person who shall knowingly procure or offer any false or forged instrument to be filed, registered, or recorded in any public office, which instrument, if genuine, might be filed, registered or recorded in such office under any law of this state or of the United States, is guilty of a class C felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in a state correctional facility for not more than five years, or by a fine of not more than five thousand dollars, or by both. [RCW 40.16.030]
|
|
|
Making a False or Misleading Statement to a Public Servant - RCW 9A.76.175
|
|
A person who knowingly makes a false or misleading material statement to a public servant is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. Material statement means a written or oral statement reasonably likely to be relied upon by a public servant in the discharge of his or her official powers or duties. Every person convicted of a gross misdemeanor shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for a maximum term fixed by the court of not more than one year, or by a fine in an amount fixed by the court of not more than five thousand dollars, or by both such imprisonment and fine. [RCW 9A.76.175]

City of Seattle, Offenses Against Governmental Order - SMC 12A.16.040
|
|
A person is guilty of false reporting if he makes, files or causes to be filed with a public officer of the City a written report, statement, application, citation or complaint which he knows to contain a misstatement of a material fact. [SMC 12A.16.040]

Council House has repeatedly not complied with Seattle Municipal Code to the detriment of elderly people. The directors have allowed Mitchell to incarcerate four tenants on trumped-up charges and have colluded in two cases of alleged homicide by abuse. City attorneys have willfully supported them in these unlawful practices. They continue to keep false and misleading reports as non-conviction data without processing them until they have a political use for them. Then, they file trumped-up criminal complaints using the fabricated reports as "evidence".
[Elder Abuse - Abstracts] [Homicide by Abuse]
Finkle claims: In accordance with RCW 42.17.260(1) and RCW 10.97.080, we are prohibited from providing you with a copy of non-conviction data, even though you are the subject of that non-conviction data.
Finkle willfully classifies manufactured records as non-conviction data. He does not process them according to municipal codes which afford accused persons an opportunity to refute the content. Carr and Council House directors use those documents, and false and misleading police reports, to either blackmail or indict dissenters and reporters.
Mitchell and his thugs boast publicly that they have dozens of similar reports ready to file if they do not succeed in obtaining convictions punishable by imprisonment. Mitchell also claims that if any judge finds against him the directors have the political power to reverse the decisions ex parte (behind the scenes).
Mitchell's filings form part of a retaliatory pattern or practice. He has filed similar complaints with federal agencies. They all smack of political expediency and blackmail. Officials have accepted at face value (and entered into evidence) false and misleading documents written by a hysterical, pathological liar. They then denied the subjects of those lies an opportunity to refute them. [Thespian Liar] [Histrionics and Narcissism]
Finkle has on file a Council House letter and supporting documentation that forms part of an official complaint. He will not allow the first party to have a copy of those documents or to respond to the accusations contained in them as required by municipal codes. US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and City of Seattle, the oversight authorities for Council House, regularly practice willful blindness and silently withhold these documents. HUD has similar letters on file. [Silent Withholding]
The author obtained copies of several letters from journalism sources that prove a pattern or practice of libel, manufactured evidence, and suborned or perjured testimony, designed to spawn malicious, criminal prosecution in kangaroo courts. Taxpayer funded agencies have refused to provide copies of documents under the Public Disclosure Act or FOIA in order to cover their tracks. [SM-01-1207-0000] [SM-00-0000-0000 - WIP]

Perjury and Subornation by Council House Directors, Staff, and Tenants
|
|
Perjury classifies as a class B felony punishable by
a maximum of ten years in a state correctional institution
and/or a $20,000 fine. [RCW 9A.72]
|
|
|
A unanimous decision by Washington Supreme Court has reversed trial court prior restraint findings by Judge James A. Doerty. It allows publication of the names of those Council House directors, staff, and tenants who allegedly suborned or filed perjured testimony. The prior restraint has existed for more than five years which has allowed many of the people listed, and others outside the ambit, to commit perjury and subornation on a grand scale. A plethora of law suits at Council House probably shows a pattern or practice of malicious criminal intent, ostensibly, to cover up crimes. Doerty granted impunity by frustrating legal representation and disallowing a discovery process also cross-examination of witnesses.

Stephen A. Mitchell and his violent enforcers* [Kapos] coerced many of the listed people to commit perjury. The courts have refused to allow the people whom they defamed to cross-examine witnesses or to conduct discovery. Mitchell's victims have suffered imprisonment, incarceration in mental institutions, unlawful arrest, eviction, ostracism, and physical assault as the result of impunity granted by Judge James A. Doerty. Jackie Nations died allegedly as the result of homicide by abuse directly caused by the actions of Mitchell, Mullen, Dunbar, and Barrie [her mother] and Vilensky died directly as the result of abuse and dereliction by Mitchell with help from Jacques. [Who Killed Jackie Nations?] [Last Cruel Days. Homicide?]
|

Even the disingenuous and biased Judge Mary Kay Becker, Court of Appeals, tacitly admitted the possibility of an organized campaign of subornation, perjury, deceit, and railroading, during oral argument:
“. . . what about the possibility that justice will go awry . . . if there is no opportunity to cross-examine people who are making complaints . . . to ferret out if these are really true allegations as opposed to being perhaps some kind of a campaign against an unpopular person.” [The Scab Family]
|
|
US Congressman James McDermott sponsored the election of Thomas Aquinas Carr, Seattle City Attorney. Carr has conspired to issue criminal charges against the author using false and malicious reports filed with police and government agencies by Stephen A. Mitchell and Audrey F. Dunbar. Roseanna McDermott, McDermott's mother signed a declaration against the author. [Dereliction and Collusion - City of Seattle]

A reasonable person reading the linked examples will interpret them as the rants of a mentally disturbed and subliterate individual who transfers his fantasies onto others. However, City officials have recorded that information and bring criminal charges if they think that they can get away with them. They defer to a mafia that employs Mitchell and his thugs to terrorize tenants and reporters to cover up its own criminal activity.
Finkle continues to stonewall public records requests under Washington Public Disclosure Act by using fatuous exemptions. For example, to a request for a copy of Watkin’s job description he replied:
After conducting a search of our records, we have determined that no document exists in our office that describes Ms. Watkins' job functions. [Emphasis added].
If he does not have a copy in his office, then he has a responsibility in law to refer the matter to the public records officer for his department. Anything less ranks as a manipulation of the statute. If Watkins does not have a written job description, then she cannot work for City of Seattle, let alone handle harassment complaints.
City of Seattle, Personnel Rule 2.1.1(G). “Classification specification” shall mean a written description of a classification . . . that includes a title, a description of distinguishing characteristics, a statement of typical duties and responsibilities, and a statement of minimum qualifications.
Carr, Finkle, and Hood have known for several years that Mitchell filed (and continues to file) false and misleading reports with government agencies yet have neglected to prosecute him. Instead, they have trumped-up more politically expedient criminal charges against the subject of his elder abuse. [SMC 12A.16.040]
These city officials apparently feed at the same trough with Judges Wartnik and Doerty and Council House directors. They have knowingly allowed a cover-up as part of the campaign of lies and deceit now contested on First Amendment grounds in a review by Washington Supreme Court. City officials have tried to preempt that decision in a municipal court by conspiring to bring fraudulent, frivolous, or capricious criminal charges based upon false and misleading reports by mobsters. They have participated in a major corruption scandal.
The public prosecutor received information relating to the death of Jackie Nations - the suicide that Mitchell mentions in his letter. The Jackie Nations abstract appeared in the elder abuse section of Contra Cabal more than twelve months ago. Carr also received a personal advice yet he made no attempt to investigate the alleged crimes. Instead, he has brought criminal charges against the informant for blowing the whistle about homicide! [Who Killed Jackie Nations?]
Officials must, by law, follow up reports of elder abuse and forward details to the public prosecutor. Appropriate authorities receive information upon publication of each Contra Cabal case study. Those officials must take action to insure that no more incidents occur yet they do nothing; instead, they cover up the crimes and harass the reporter.
Council House directors and their straws must accept responsibility for their dereliction and lack of response to complaints instead of consistently trying to kill the messenger. They have taken part in a kafkaesque charade to cover up elder abuse which involves criminal liability. Their neglect to act benefits the perpetrators. [Straw-Man Stratagem] [Kill the Messenger - WIP]
The letter that Mitchell wrote to Watkins typifies hundreds of other letters that Mitchell, Jacques his confederate, and Council House directors have sent to third parties (mainly government agencies and professional associates of tenants). The letters retaliated for filing complaints with government oversight authorities. Mitchell has for more than five years character assassinated tenants and blackmailed them into submission after they dissented or complained about elder abuse by his thugs. Three articles provide an insight into his psychological condition.
[Thespian Liar] [Histrionics and Narcissism] [Ravening Sociopath]
Any “surveillance” of Council House and its staff took place as part of thorough investigations of elder abuse using proven techniques and within journalism codes of conduct. Information in documented case studies, some already published, shows the falsity of what Mitchell has written and filed with government agencies.
Seattle City Attorney Thomas A. Carr received prepublication notices but neither acknowledged nor responded to them - a common practice in the mayor’s office. Consequently, the situation has deteriorated. Carr has used "evidence" scripted by a professional actor and acknowledged sociopath to orchestrate a convoluted scenario, then brought politically-motivated criminal charges against the person who reported the crime. Carr will need a team of attorneys and psychiatrists to unravel the convoluted legal problem that he has helped create with his attempts to give anonymous mobsters impunity. [Impunity]

Brad A. Meryhew, formerly Society of Counsel Representing Accused Persons (SCRAP), a public defender appointed by Judge James A. Doerty when media pressure became too hot for him to handle, obtained the author’s release from solitary confinement (2002). Ironically, Meryhew succeeded without a purge of the alleged contempt that Doerty contrived in an ex parte relationship with Judge Anthony P. Wartnik.
|
|
Meryhew, now in private practice as a partner in the Law Offices of James Newton, Auburn, Washington, will defend against the new criminal complaints filed in an alleged retaliatory compact among Thomas A. Carr, Seattle City Attorney, Council House directors, and lawyers exposed in Contra Cabal.
|
|
Meryhew visited the author frequently while in jail and after transfer to solitary confinement. He inspired the author to undertake extensive research into institutionalized racism during and after his release.

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.

About the Author
|
|
Paul Trummel, published since 1944, uses the pseudonym Nmesis and openly declares personal or conflicting interests. These conflicts may relate to topics or to opinion, especially when the content draws upon advocacy, experience, conclusion, or interpretation. As an accredited journalist, he conforms with the code of conduct and ethics of the journalism profession, tested by courts in both Great Britain and the USA.
|
|
Since 1947, he has worked as a journalist, an editor (commercial and academic peer-review), a technical communicator, an associate professor (visual communication and rhetoric), and as a university administrator at several leading universities.
|
|
He has held international press credentials since 1959 and holds two elected international graphic arts fellowships. He earned professional letters in the UK that translated into two baccalaureate degrees and a terminal graduate degree in the US. He has also earned a Rensselaer graduate degree and two US PhD degrees (now ABD).
|
|
He taught graduate level students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Northeastern University, Fitchburg State College, San Jose State University, Massachusetts Bay Community College, and a private institute of graphic design. He held an administrative post at University of Massachusetts, Boston, and has lectured at universities in US, Europe, and Japan.
|
|
In 1957 (London), he founded and operated the first full-service technical communication organization, a group of publishing and technical/graphic communication companies where he held the position of chief executive officer.
|
|
In 1973 (Connecticut), he designed and marketed the first typesetting system driven by a minicomputer, the precursor for today's desktop publishing systems.
|
|
He has won an international silver medal for his satire and a US city award for his educational programs for disadvantaged people.
|
|
Since 1992, he has investigated and written several hundred articles on bureaucratic and elder abuse. 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.
|
|
Contra Cabal has now published for almost fourteen years. Earlier, it published as email for six years. The hits/month now range between 100,000 and 150,000 with more than a million hits during the past twelve months.
|
|
Articles cover ongoing criminal activity by bureaucrats and elder abuse. 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 outline how managers use unlawful retaliatory measures and propaganda to destroy the reputations of people who report illegal activity and racism.
|
|
Washington Supreme Court unanimously reversed a lower court decision that effectively allowed prior restraint and defined journalism inquiry as surveillance and harassment. Repeatedly, lawyers who could find no fault with content instead personally attacked the author or his genre.
|
|
A corrupt judge imposed prior restraint and jailed him for contempt when he challenged the court decisions as a basic violation of constitutional and human rights. To further coerce him, in consort with other jurists and Seattle Jewish Mafia, the judge then arbitrarily transferred him to solitary confinement.
|
|
His published work in the print media for more than sixty years has received no challenge relating to accuracy. People, among them elected judges and lawyers upon whom the public should be able to rely, have tried to stop him publishing information on politically sensitive issues. The prior restraint and restrictions on personal mobility have now become a matter of international concern.

|
These organizations have filed amicus curiae briefs with Washington Supreme Court in support of his First Amendment stance:
