Media Is An Accomplice To BAR Attorney Totalitarianism

Twenty-five years ago, I got out of jail after a 64 day stint. A massive judgment was awarded against me as I got out. That was not the only unfortunate thing that awaited me. In the Associated Press article covering this in the Roanoke Times, imagine my disappointment when the account of my matter was basically incorrect.

When certain facts are incorrect, people invariably will get an incorrect impression. To set the record straight, I never denounced the acquittal of that teenager I mistakenly accused only to the authorities. I exercised my right to peacefully protest three months after the acquittal and after I was in receipt of the lawsuit of $200,000. The sole reason for that protest, other than pleading for genuine legal reform, was to get my own videotape back that the Commonwealth Attorney unlawfully kept in his possession for three months. I needed to review that tape to determine how I made a mistake in identifying the shoplifter, if a mistake was indeed made.

After two months of desperately trying to get the tape back after the teen's family's attorney verbally committed to suing me, I exercised my right to protest peacefully. This is not the case of taking my word for it. The Virginian Review, in late June 1996, published my photo and a brief article headlined "One Man Demonstration" about my protest just one day prior. I believe it cited my reason for that event was to get the tape back that had been unlawfully kept from me for several months.

I did circulate letters throughout the Alleghany Highlands and S.W. Virginia 2.5 months after the acquittal of that teen for a minor shoplifting incident. I did indeed cite the young man's name as an individual who was acquitted and was now having his mother's attorney verbally committing to sue me.

With attorney totalitarianism, the words of that "profession" are treated as sacrosanct when it should not be. The AP did not have an independent office in Covington. They obviously did not get their information from the Virginian Review otherwise their story would not have such factual flaws. It is pretty apparent they got their "facts" from the individual they interviewed, the plaintiff's attorney himself. They neglected to interview me.

Attorney totalitarianism means the media co-opts this Ruling Class as a totally credible source in all legal matters. Therefore, a narrative is created that is often filled with distortions and inconsistencies.

Many of my contacts were not even adults when these events took place. Quite a few were not even teens. The sad part is that a quarter of a century later, people are as dumbed down as ever as to the true nature of the tyrannical BAR Attorney-at-law associations.

I am and will be eternally grateful to all the wonderful people who supported the legal reform cause back then and even now. I personally will always be in their debt. I truly believe it was my ongoing critique of the BAR monopolized legal system and their hegemonic control for the last five years that was really the motive behind the legal action taken against me. People come and go but institutions and systems remain the same. That is the moral of the story.
