Separate Rules for the Powerful

When facing overt corruption perpetrated by Attorney Richard Calhoun emanating from a powerful law firm possessing self professed ties to the White House and Congress by the name of Brock Clay Calhoun, who has been aided and abetted by various members of the Georgia (GA) Bar Association, a virtual network of legal deception emerged before my family, that most citizens cannot even imagine, much less comprehend. In that vein, I offer the 'Web of Deceit'.

When Attorney Calhoun filed a lawsuit on behalf of a dissolved corporation (LMHA, Inc.), with whom my family had done NO business, it would have been obvious for a judge to dismiss the action. But Judge Robert Flournoy, Jr., allowed this powerful law firm, whose senior partner was none other than Chuck Clay Head of the GA Republican Party and our State Senator at the time, the same man responsible for the campaign of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney in GA, to 'substitute a Plaintiff'. However in lieu of the judge's edict, Attorney Calhoun added a second 2 part Plaintiff that did not exist (An ACC and LMTHA, Inc.). In legal terms, the story should have stopped there. But former Senator Clay (R) and his partners were able to even obtain assistance from Secretary of State Cathy Cox (D), now a candidate for Governor, running on an education platform

Was it politics, power, money, or influence, that made the impossible, the illegal, the immoral, a complicit and acceptable option which media, judges, attorneys, court clerks, and politicians, freely participated in. Though these groups possessed a public or sworn obligation to uphold the laws of GA and the US, all of the aforementioned worked clearly in concert to afford willful crimes to be perpetrated and converted to case precedence against ALL Georgia property owners to include Appeals Court Judges, Clerk William Martin III, and according to Clerk Sherie Welch the GA Supreme Court, all intertwined via initial discussions with Chamber of Commerce members at organized meetings, land deals, transportation contracts, political debt retirement, appointments/nominations, increased business opportunities, etc., and then the unthinkable occurred. We were the victim of judicial fraud to include theft by deception and theft by taking authored by Judge Adele Grubbs on behalf of Brock Clay Calhoun, using a dissolved corporation along with entities we created following the filing of litigation, so as to reinforce the ludicrous and legal impossibility of the effort!

When my neighbors and I went to DA Pat Head, he told us of the conversations Judge Grubbs had participated in with other Chamber of Commerce members regarding our case, but she would not recuse or disqualify herself. Then Judges Kreeger, Bodiford, Wood, and Fudger aided in the creation of fraudulent documents, altering the court record, and violating the law, from which Judge Grubbs claimed jurisdiction, while Attorney General (AG) Baker's Office defended every illegal act perpetrated. In fact, Kristin Miller, upon leaving the AG's Office, went to work for the Administrative Courts, which govern the only review of judges or lawyers. The (Cobb) County Attorney Dorothy Bishop maintained contact with the AG, while Attorney Calhoun offered influence to further protect Judge Grubbs. The GA Bar Association and Judicial Qualifications Commission refused to take action against Attorney Calhoun or Judge Grubbs, along with federal courts (Federal Judge Beverly Martin), who cited case precedence allowing crimes by a judge to be condoned or simply ignored overt felonies. But let me not forget former US Attorney William Duffey, promoted to a federal judgeship by President Bush, following his acknowledgement of crimes by public officials involving corruption and violations of law. Conversely, his replacement US Attorney Nahmias refuses to hold any meeting or accept evidence.

Then there was Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine, who refused to uphold GA Law, and was shortly thereafter considered for the position of Lt. Governor., ultimately withdrawing in hopes of maintaining his lucrative insurance post. And Governor Sonny Perdue, who spent a holiday in Baghdad on behalf of the White House, now claims via a $30,000 commercial to have "protected our private property". Yet it was Perdue, who when notified of felonies by Attorney Calhoun, appointed Clay and Rep. Ehrhart to committees affecting children, while property and due process were literally stolen as evidenced by the billing records for Brock Clay Calhoun entered into the court record, on behalf of a corporation created by the Defendants. And when Governor Perdue now despite his personal legacy, asserts via a "Sonny Did" Campaign sham to protect property owners, the corruption and violations of law he said, could NOT happen under his watch in GA, go uncovered in local media and unaddressed by his administration. But Perdue's former legal counsel, who stated the verified violations of law were a "separation of powers" issue did benefit. That legal advisor coining the first Republican claim of separating powers from their acts, has since been named to the GA Supreme Court, Justice Harold Melton.

After last week and the disclosure of the FBI efforts to address overt political corruption by Rep. Jefferson of Louisiana (LA) Speaker Hastert, who renewed the initial appointment by former Speaker Newt Gingrich, a contemporary of Clay, for Judge Grubbs to serve on the Council for Juvenile Delinquency Prevention, part of the Justice Department chaired by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, an all too familiar defense. Speaker Hastert stated, it was an issue of "separation of powers" that created opposition concerning any investigation regarding elected officials corruption. More realistically, Hastert's' objections are focused upon elected officials becoming subject to THE LAW! Now there's a concept.

Will the FBI continue to address the excessive crime we as Americans see, smell, suffer from and are becoming known around the world for? It remains to be seen. When reporting illegal activity to our representatives, specifically Representative Earl Ehrhart and Senator John Wiles, both appeared to strengthen their ties to Clay. But don't forget, it's the power that separates, and soon to be no possible semblance or recollection of any separation of powers may be the ultimate legacy of all Americans!
