Creation myth, white Supremacy
SOA Watch, Elizabeth Martinez

Every nation has a creation myth, or origin myth, which is the story people are taught of how the nation came into being. Ours says the United States began with Columbus's so-called "discovery" of America, continued with settlement by brave Pilgrims, won its independence from England with the American Revolution, and then expanded westward until it became the enormous, rich country you see today.

That is the origin myth. It omits three key facts about the birth and growth of the United States as a nation. Those facts demonstrate that White Supremacy is fundamental to the existence of this country. Read

The Lawyer-Judge Bias in the American Legal System

Professor Benjamin H. Barton author of The Lawyer-Judge Bias in the American Legal System, writes that virtually all American judges are former lawyers, a shared background that results in the lawyer-judge bias. Barton argues that these lawyer-judges instinctively favor the legal profession in their decisions and that this bias has far-reaching and deleterious effects on American law. Overlawyered, Larry Ribstein, Glenn Reynolds, and Cato’s Dan Mitchell. Barton submitted a brief with Darryl Brown, Turner v Rogers. Docket.

60 Minutes' Steve Kroft Talks To Carl Hiaasen In a little less than a century, the state of Florida has been transformed from a largely uninhabited swamp to the fourth-largest state in the union. And no one has written about that transformation more successfully than Carl Hiaasen.

Carl Hiaasen on Florida:

"The Sunshine State is a paradise of scandals teeming with drifters, deadbeats, and misfits drawn here by some dark primordial calling like demented trout. And you'd be surprised how many of them decide to run for public office."

Nearing influenced generations over his century-long life by advocating what he believed to be a back-to-nature lifestyle of economic and social purity.

"If I am rich and you are poor," Nearing wrote, "both of us are corrupted by inequality."

The politics, economy, and technology today provides a new foundation for his message.

John Brown, 1860 portrait

A John Brown for Today?

John Brown, the abolitionist of Harpers Ferry fame, sought to free slaves bound by chains and involuntary servitude. Brown’s raid in October 1859 with 22 men played a major role in starting the American Civil War. David S. Reynolds hails him as the man who "killed slavery, sparked the civil war, and seeded civil rights." That was 155 years ago. The Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 freed slaves, and in December 1865 the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude.

Economic Slavery Today

Today economic slavery has many people in debt chains. Economic or debt slavery is more efficient for its masters than the slavery of the Old South. Debt slaves must feed, house and clothe themselves. The debt slave masters, the banks, credit card companies, and even student loan providers, all rely upon the courts and justice system for enforcement of debt. When economic slaves can’t pay back their debt, they are told to get a second job. Or a third job.

Meanwhile, when the well-connected masters of economic slaves get in a financial bind, and bring our economy to the brink of collapse, they call on politicians in Washington, DC for bailouts. Bankers don’t get second or third jobs, they get million-dollar bonuses.

The economic slave masters have access to the best lawyers, sympathetic judges, and sheriff’s deputies ready to haul the debt slave to court, or throw him and his family out of their home and into the street. Does anyone see a problem with this scenario? Where is the John Brown for today’s debt slaves?

Justice by Luca Giordano

Justice Wikipedia

Justice is the concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, fairness, or equity, along with the punishment of the breach of said ethics.

According to most theories of justice, it is overwhelmingly important: John Rawls claims that "Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought."

NATIONAL CENTER for PTSD

Beyond PTSD to "Moral Injury"

"I really don't like the term 'PTSD,’” Department of Veterans Affairs psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Shay told PBS' "Religion & Ethics Newsweekly" in 2010. "He says the diagnostic definition of "post-traumatic stress disorder" is a fine description of certain instinctual survival skills that persist into everyday life after a person has been in mortal danger — but the definition doesn't address the entirety of a person's injury after the trauma of war. "I view the persistence into civilian life after battle," he says, "... as the simple or primary injury." Dr. Shay on YouTube

Dr. Shay has his own name for the thing the clinical definition of PTSD leaves out. He calls it "moral injury" — and the term is catching on with both the VA and the Department of Defense.

Moral injury, Dr. Shay says, can happen when "there is a betrayal of what's right by someone who holds legitimate authority in a high-stakes situation." read more

14 Year Anniversary - YouSue.org to NoSue.org

Fourteen years ago I started the Justice Network with the domain name YouSue.org. This name was chosen in the spirit of YouTube, the video-sharing website that empowered ordinary people to produce and share video.

Through this website I have met folks from all over the country. Some of their stories are profiled here. Many have reached the conclusion that America’s justice system is broken.

The official Justice Network Internet address is now NoSue.org. This reflects the sad truth that for most Americans the justice system is broken, just a parody of justice. Reform American courts or avoid them. Your life, health and wealth is at risk. But don’t just take my word, listen to the experts on this site.
