JUDGE LEWIS FLEES COURT IN GASTON MEZIERE CASE
Mental health exams, restraining orders and stalking claims
have become the weapon of choice for judges, D.A.s and
government agencies involved in cover-ups of corruption and
misconduct. Dr. Sweet, a court appointed psychiatric examiner
reported in the last examination that Mr. Gaston was, "Justified
in believing there is a conspiracy afoot to kidnap Mr. Gaston's
daughter and sell her in the black market."
Gaston and Meziere intentionally admitted that they violated
the court orders because they were sham documents issued in
furtherance of an on going conspiracy to prevent Will and Pamela
from exposing the child pornography and the literal black-market
selling of children by SOSCF employees in Oregon.
Fifty three conspirators have been named in the Racketeering
complaint filed by Gaston and Meziere on behalf of the children
and families who have suffered at the hands of such notorious
and out of control public agencies across the country. Just a
few named in the complaint are Judges Gregory West, Paul
Lipscomb, Don Dickey, Joseph Ochoa, Connie Haas, Pamela
Abernathy, Loraine Anglemeier, Terry Leggart and Silverton
Police officer Gary Robertson and Jack Mattingly, along with
numerous other state employees.
Meziere spoke boldly to the jury with scathing and poignant
questions of witnesses which stunned the courtroom. The shocking
story of abuse and cover-ups began to unfold in Judge
Ertsgaard's courtroom. So many Judges have participated in the
attempt to silence these two people fighting for the release of
Gaston's daughter Melissa, that the list of misconduct, lies,
and felony actions has taken monumental proportions. Officer
Robertson was charged by Meziere with lying, falsifying
documents, sexual abuse of children, perjury and racketeering.
He admitted under oath to these criminal activities. He sat
frozen and red faced as Meziere repeatedly asked him if he did
falsify documents and then use them to take Malissa Gaston from
the care of her father.
Meziere asked hard questions about Hazel Spees and Robinson who
conspired to issue a criminal stalking complaint against Gaston
and Meziere. Robinson admitted he had no authority to issue the
complaint. The complaint was evidently an attempt to silence the
newspaper, A Voice for Children which had published the story of
abuse of Malissa in state foster homes, specifically the story
that referred to Spees as a child pornographer and pedophile for
taking video pictures of 7 year old Malissa nude, who was
coaxed to perform in a sexual manner. The pictures were taken
with the encouragement and instructions from Spees.
When Spees took the stand, Meziere confidently questioned her.
Spees reversed her testimony several times. First she denied
taking the video of Malissa and then when Meziere produced Spees
own report to SOSCF case worker Larry Lawson requesting a letter
to protect her from any liability, knowing that what she was
doing was pornography. Spees admitted that she had lied when she
said she found The Voice for Children tucked in her front
door.
When Gaston first took the stand he was overcome with emotion,
but he soon began to articulate the detailed nightmarish story
he has been forced to live since this all began. He told how
Bruno and Vega had suborned perjury by having Judy Strom falsely
accuse Gaston. Later, under oath in Judge Sulivan's court she
admitted she lied. Gaston told how Judge Leggart had ordered
SOSCF to return Malissa to her father.
Then in October of 1997 Gaston learned of the pornographic
video by Spees and Lawson. SOSCF now needed some way of defaming
Gaston's character and without any evidence made up new charges
against Gaston in hopes that he could be controlled and that a
cover-up could be accomplished. Gaston would not roll over and
go away.
Through the Freedom of Information Act he discovered from
documents he obtained that Malissa had in fact been sexually
molested in three foster homes and burned as punishment in one
of them. He also discovered caseworker Tim Irmen was a
registered sex offender and Hazel Spees was a child pornographer
and pedophile. It was at this point he began to publish A Voice
for Children.
The police and the judiciary aided and abetted in the criminal
persecution of Wilbur Gaston. They sealed records, created
phony stalking orders, delayed due process, obstructed justice,
threatened him and physically attacked him and his supporters on
numerous occasions. Gaston stood up as he finished testifying
and pointed his finger at Spees and said these child
pornographers and pedophiles should be hung. He then walked over
to the jury box asked them, "What would you have done if it had
been your daughter or granddaughter."
Meziere, in her closing arguments, stated, "That this is the
first time in two years that I have been allowed to speak in
court." Meziere, speaking sui juris, joined Gaston in this fight
when he had been exhausted from the relentless attacks. Meziere
who has had to become her own lawyer in the fight for Malissa,
told the jury that in this country they are the sovereign
authority in the courtroom with the right to judge both fact and
law. She said that the good citizens of this country have been
asleep and have allowed corrupt and perverted individuals to
take over our courts and public institutions. She then held up a
copy of the Oregon Observer, February issue, which carried a
front page story of what SOSCF has been doing. Pointing to the
paper she said, "This is the reason we are being prosecuted.
They are trying to shut us up for good."
Judge Ertsgaard, brought out of retirement to hear this case,
repeatedly blocked Meziere's attempts to introduce evidence. She
was not allowed to read to the jury Spees' reports where she
described in detail the sexually explicit language she used over
and over again in talking to Malissa which is a class A felony
(Encouraging Child Sex Abuse). She tried to bring evidence
concerning Officer Mattingly who was sent to jail three weeks
earlier for falsifying police reports and for abuse of power.
Mattingly saved his partner Robertson from going to jail also by
plea bargaining. She was not allowed by Ertsgaard to bring in
most of the evidence of conspiracy, persecution and fraud by
judges, police and state employees. Ertsgaard would not read the
stalking statute to the jury which would have exonerated Gaston
and Meziere. Judge Ertsgaard did tell the jury that they must
find Gaston and Meziere guilty because they had repeatedly
admitted that they violated the court order.
The judge told the jury that even if someone lies to a judge
and falsely obtains the judges order, the order of the judge
must be obeyed. Such rationale is the building blocks of
injustice and tyranny by lies. In a moment of overconfidence the
judge also said that only if the judges were involved in the
conspiracy by a preponderance of the evidence could the orders
be considered of no affect.
On Good Friday, after only four hours the jury, including
several government employees, returned with a unanimous
decision. The judge then asked for the verdict and sat visibly
shaken as he said "Not Guilty" on each and every charge.
On Monday, April 13, l998, employees retaliated with a
vengeance against Gaston and Meziere. They began an
investigation into Mrs. Meziere's ex-husbands life and wrote a
petition with SOSCF to take Mrs. Meziere's 8 year old son.
Tuesday, April 14, l998, Gaston and Meziere planned to
go to Bend to serve tort claim notice and motion of recusal on
Judge Michael Sullivan, Meziere had kept her son home from
school.
Meziere stepped out of the shower to find a dozen or more
police and state officials trying to take her child. Police
showed up at the school where Meziere's 8 year old son attends
where they would have easily taken her child. Bill Howell, the
DA from Family Law Court, had made a request for custody of
Pamela Meziere's son in Judge Guimond's court. With three
Sheriffs cars, one State Police car, Mt. Angel Police cars and
two unmarked state vehicles, officers had surrounded her home,
including two Woodburn SOSCF agents, Rick Puente and Supervisor
Oscar Herrera, and DA Bill Howell who were among the first to
watch the pornographic video made by Spees and then seal it up
along with judge Joseph Ochoa on October 31, l996.
The boy was not in school that morning so the police went to
his home. Meziere was like an outraged Mother bear protecting
her cub and backed them all out to the side walk with the force
of her righteous indignation while her young son hid terrorized
weeping in his bedroom. The child was spared, who knows what,
only by her courage and the grace of God.
These agents of the state had no warrant and no evidence or
documentation to substantiate their order. Mrs. Meziere loudly
stated all of the events that had transpired to the Mt. Angel
Chief Ralph Francisco, who was at a loss to help because of the
court order. Mrs. Meziere accused all of these officers of
their abuse of her family and many others, and of the abuse of
Melissa, and at one point stood face to face with Oscar Herrera,
SOSCF, accusing him of lies and pedophilia at which he remained
silent and would not look her directly in the eyes.
Meziere shouted at these officers that if they came any
closer she would go inside and barricade the door with their
family inside and they could bring an army and there would be
a war right here and now. She told them to, "Bring out their
ugliest attack yet - go for it! We are telling the world every
step you take and exposing you for the criminals that you are."
This confrontation lasted an hour or so and finally ended,
against Mrs. Meziere's protests, when Wilbur Gaston agreed to
leave with Chief Francisco in the patrol car and agree to not
be near Mrs. Meziere's son.
The method and operation of SOSCF in these cases is to
create outrageous accusations with fraudulent hearsay documents
to incriminate without proof and then in a bias court proceeding
without a jury the parents rights are crushed without ever
having been charged with a crime.
This is what judge Sullivan is doing right now with Mr. Gaston
and Pamela Meziere and their children. In 99 out of l00 cases,
SOSCF prevails in court with attorneys who play the game that
the defendant always loses.
On Wednesday, April 15, l998, Pamela Meziere and her
ex-husband Garry Meziere appeared in court for a shelter hearing
about their son. Judge Ertsgaard presided and again gave
Meziere a semblance of a Constitutional court and a fair
hearing. Mr. Meziere gave compelling and sincere testimony
about how he felt that SOSCF had attacked his family and how he
felt like he was on trial and his son terrorized by these agents
of the state. Both Meziere's stated that theirs was a good
relationship and in fact Mrs. Meziere had immediately called her
ex-husband to get their son when and if the SOSCF became
vengeful.
Mr. Meziere described how he felt violated that in one day
they had investigated his family, including the Meziere's adult
daughter, trying to find dirt for incrimination.
Judge Ertsgaard asked for evidence upon which to base this
order issued by Judge Guimond, whereupon the DA asked to
continue the hearing until later in the afternoon.
Mrs. Meziere interrupted "I don't think so" and the judge
stated he did not care
how they run the court at juvenile, but this is a court of
evidence. Mrs. Meziere and Judge Ertsgaard made the point
clear to note that SOSCF HAD NO EVIDENCE upon which to have
issued this order.
Judge Ertsgaard did not give SOSCF anything they wanted,
and Mr. Meziere effectively closed the door on their plans but
the petition by Bill Howell had to still be address at another
hearing. Ertsgaard order was to have been issued that
afternoon, and would in effect be protection from the other
judges order to allow SOSCF to take their son.
On Thursday, April 16, l998, Wilbur Gaston and Pamela
Meziere went into the Marion County Courthouse as they had done
every day all week, to file documents and to get the judges
order from the hearing the day before. After about a half hour
of doing paperwork, they walked down the hall towards the judges
chambers. Sheriff Deputy Dave McMullen came up from behind and
ordered Meziere to immediately leave the building or be
arrested. She said "don't do it Dave" as she knows this man
well. He has been instigating and following her for four months
to many courthouses and repeatedly harassing and threatening her
with arrest in front of many witnesses. This is the same
Sheriff that attacked 50 year old church secretary and Family
Freedom Press editor Dottie Ann Blakemore in the same courtroom
two weeks ago and drug her for forty five minutes through the
courthouse bleeding and tortured with her pants and underclothes
around her knees.
Gaston and Meziere kept walking to Norblad's office
where Ertsgaard was presiding to get help and to get the
document for protecting her and her son. In the doorway,
officer McMullen attacked Pamela Meziere, wrenching her arm
behind her as he pushed her to the floor While Pamela was on the
floor in front of Ertsgaard's office, McMullen maliciously
sprayed her with a chemical agent which made her blind and
gagged her cries for help. Secretary Dale Griffith in Norblad's
office put his hands into the air. He would do nothing to stop
the attack.
McMullen handcuffed Meziere, who staggered with him eyes
blinded and skin burning and bruised past court employees who
know her well and who would not look as she passed by them
calling out - "Look what they are doing here! You just stand
there!" The officers did not give Mrs. Meziere the antidote
spray. An hour or so later he took her to jail for trespassing
and resisting arrest.
Later that night she was released on her own recognizance
after being groped by sheriffs who stated that they could'
"grope all they wanted." She was mocked by ten or more male
sheriffs who came into the room to watch her through this
ordeal. The release officer could not explain why she had been
arrested, only that there was a court order. Corrupt judges
like Paul Lipscomb, the presiding judge of Marion County
Courthouse, write orders at their own whim and often in secret
with no accountability and until now have been getting away with
it.
Attorneys are disbarred for "irritating the court."You must
defend yourself, alone. What you say is "not relevant." And so
you go to jail and lose your children, your home, your property
without the truth ever being heard.
I often hear people talk of the 6,000,000 Jews who died in the
Jewish Holocaust and debate the numbers and cruelties. To begin
to single out groups that died in that epic of man made madness
labeled WWII is the essence of bigotry and does a dishonor to
the 17,000,000 who were exterminated and were not Jews. How
about the 50,000,000 Germans who died in those years? What about
the woman and children of Dresden and Cologne? What of the
untold millions that died and suffered at the hands of the "red
menace" from the Baltics to Beijing. Are we immune? There were
far to many captured German soldiers who died in allied and
American prison camps to be statistically wholesome, but it is
taboo to speak of that.
Nationalities did not foment the Holocaust. It has been
ignorance, apathy, avarice, pride, arrogance, selfishness and
greed that has fed the flames of man made kingdoms of Hell.
Now fifty some years later America has changed and I am afraid
it has been for the worst. Our laurel leaves have wilted with
our freedom and responsible individualism. My Father was an
attorney in several states and wrote law books, I grew up around
the law and the courts. The courts I sit in today are a travesty
of justice and are filled with vanity and corruption. I pursued
a career in law enforcement in the 60's and 70's. Yet today, the
caliber of officers I see in action has shifted to avenues of
abusive power fueled by arrogance and ignorant pride. All this
coupled with an army of sudo-cops operating out of every other
government agency, we have become primed for the worst holocaust
the world has known.
The court order to keep Meziere out of the court house unless
she is called as a witness, which in itself was denying her a
right to due process, was no longer valid. These crimes are
committed because of the gutless cowards who stand around and do
and say nothing.
The modern day Christian good Samaritan, when coming upon a
poor unfortunate soul beat and bleeding in some judicial or
bureaucratic ditch, might kneel down and say a prayer. Then
feeling much better about him or herself, will go their own way.
If the victim dies, maybe they'll name the road after them or
build a shrine or take a holiday. True Christians know that
standing up for Jesus is not just standing up from your warm pew
and singing a song. Raising your hands to the LORD is not waving
your arms over your head behind the secure doors of a state
church building.
At the first sign of danger or personal sacrifice the false
love of the apostate christian waxes cold. They have chosen
these false gods of these modern courts. They would not risk
their lunch or their TV much less their jobs, property or their
lives to stand for truth, justice and their brothers. They are
not like John, Jesus and Peter nor Abraham, Moses and David.
They do not follow in the ways of the LORD. They seek the
comforts not the Christ.
Marion County wreaks with corruption with the attacks on
religious freedom, parental and civil rights. But is that the
only place? No! The Jenkins' family in Klamath County, John Wise
in Lake County, from one end of Oregon to the other the stories
are pandemic. Across the country with the Sweeneys in
Massachusetts as well as atrocities in Florida, Texas, Nevada,
California, Idaho, it doesn't make any difference where you
live. Early this morning I had a call from Iowa where a
gentlemen was trying to tell me that the courts were worse in
his area than anywhere. I could almost laugh at how many times I
hear that if it wasn't so tragic. This tyranny exists throughout
America because Christians claim the name of Christ but deny the
courage of Christ.
The word devil in the Bible comes from the word diabolos which
means, "prone to slander, slanderous, false accuser,
slanderer." If you want to stand up for Jesus, then stand up for
justice, truth and the way of the LORD and stand against the
corrupt, the liars and the wicked.
WAKE UP AMERICA! YOUR SOUL IS ON THE LINE.
Will Gaston
GASTON AND MEZIERE INNOCENT
A GOOD FRIDAY DECISION - CRUCIFIXION TO FOLLOW
To the Editor: The following is submitted as a letter to the
editor
or a guest opinion..
In the Statesman Journal last Tuesday an article
described how a Salem man, William Mayhar, was forced to leave the
courthouse after aledgedly making violent threats, according to the
courthouse spokesman who subitted the story. On Wednesday, another article
described how Mr. Mayhar on Tuesday, had been arrested in the
courthouse. In these articles, Mr. Mayhar described that he is
a constitutional defender and is being attacked for defending his
rights to represent himself.
There have actually been six such incidents in the last
four months whereby constitutional defenders have been attacked and falsely
arrested in the courthouse. Why no report of any of these violent incidents?
On March l9, a fifty year old church secretary and Family Freedom
Press editor was brutally attacked, drug out in shackles on the ground
and drug around the courthouse screaming with her clothes around her
knees for forty-five minutes and taken to jail without probable cause or
evidence of any crime and charged with trespassing . On March 11 and
March 17, Will Gaston was falsely arrested, once in the courtroom with no
evidence of any crime and spent eight days in jail. On April 16, Pamela
Gaston was attacked, maced and arrested in judge Norblad's office doorway,
with no probable cause and no evidence of any crime. Now Mr. Mayhar
is in jail, an innocent man, on 130,000 bail and today, they forced Mr.
Mayhars fellow constitutional defender Gaynor Johnson into a
mental hospital.for "observation" for at least 90 days because Mr.
Johnson hasinsisted on his sovereign right to represent himself in court
and to have a jury trial, which judge Greg West repeatedly denies.
On April 10, l998, Will and Pamela Gaston were in a five
day trial where they were found innocent of breaking judges orders
and the jury decision found that judges, attornys, police and state
agents are committing racketeering by conspiring and retaliating against
the Gastons for representing themselves in court and exposing
the lies and corruption being enacted by state agents against
innocent people.
The Gastons have been going into hearings and trials
describing the intense abuse and retaliation to their children and themselves. The
Gastons had also been ordered to have "mental health exams" which they refused,
and the jury agreed these forced "examinations' are a rendering process
whereby the state takes everything from vulnerable people. Mr. Gaston, 72
years old, does not hear well and Pamela Gaston has been repeatedly
forced to leave the courtroom to cause Mr. Gaston to be at a
disadvantage.
The jury finding established that judges are writing
fraudulent orders and these officials have been thoroughly discredited. Those of
us who are constitutional defenders are being labeled as "radical" for
exposing the reality that in the courtroom you have no constitutional rights in l998
in the state of Oregon and, as the jury determined, the judges and attornies
are involved in an insidious and organized system to render vulnerable victims
with no due process
The people in the state of Oregon are uniting in this
growing awareness that in order for this system to become accountable it
will be only the people's voice that will force the change.
The Reform Party of Oregon is holding rallies on the Capitol
Steps every last Thursday of every month, starting June 25,
through October. The Reform Party platform centers on restoring
constitutional rights to citizens and in the courts and putting
a halt to the growing trends of bloated beaurocracies profiting
with no accountabilty, using tax dollars to destroy families and abuse
children, steal property and send innocent people to jail with no jury
trials and no due process of law.
The public eye is opened and these networks of state
officials who are committing abuses of power are not going to enjoy this
privledge much longer. The Government Oversight Committee has been
holding meetings for months moving toward solutions to this dangerous
"injustice" that the justice system has become in Oregon and how to resolve it.
The people must be told honestly what is going on in the Marion County Courthouse and demand that their Constitutional
Rights are upheld, as these state agents and judges are sworn by oath
to uphold. It is high time for accountability from these elected
officials, and an end to the violations of innocent citizens rights..

WEIDNER FORCIBLY REMOVED BY GUARDS AND CARVER ORDERED OUT OF
COURT FOR INSISTING THAT MEZIERE BE ALLOWED TO MAKE RECORD
On May 22, 1998 Will Gaston and Pamela Meziere appeared in Marion
County Court to be heard on their Summary Judgment Motion.
Gaston and Meziere have filed a Racketeering complaint charging 67
individuals, including 11 judges, numerous police officers and SOSCF workers
and others, with sexually abusing and exploiting Gaston's 7 year old
daughter Melissa. The story has been covered front page in the
February and May issues of the OREGON OBSERVER. None of the
Defendants had denied or otherwise refuted the charges so Gaston and
Meziere were moving for Summary Judgment on all factual issues set forth in
their complaint. Not only had the defendants not denied the charges
but a jury on April 10, 1998 found Gaston and Meziere not guilty of
violating restraining orders because these same defendants had
been conspiring against them for exposing the criminal activity of the
defendants.
At that trial, Judge Ertsgaard instructed the jury that
only if the judges were part of this conspiracy against Meziere
and Gaston could they be found innocent and the original stalking
orders null and void.
On May 20, Gaston and Meziere received a letter from
one of the main perpetrators in the racketeering case, District
Attorney Dale Penn, stating "It has come to my attention that you
believe the stalking order issued against you had been
rescinded. This is not the case. The recent jury verdict meant only that you
were not ound in violation of that court order. You should know that the
order itself remains in effect and if you violate it you will be
subject to arrest and prosecution". The state fully intends to ignore the
truth of the jury's findings in order to keep arresting Gaston and
Meziere
with no probable cause as they have repeatedly done
already.
With Gaston and Meziere were 12 supporters including Roger Weidner,
State Director of the Constitutional Defenders, Jesse Lott Oregon
Senate
candidate, Florence Brown President and Dee Michaels Secretary
of Lane
County Chapter of the National Grandparents Association. Larry
Carver
(Plaintiff in federal civil rights action against 5 state
representatives for attacking him while he picketed outside the
State
Capitol on April 18, 1997) Chairman of the Single Fathers of
Oregon.
Arrayed against Gaston and Meziere at the counsel table were
Asst.
Attorney General Kathleen George, Asst. Marion County Legal
Counsel
Tim Jensen and attorneys Bob Winkler, Joe Trailer and Shirley
Cooper, Barbara Diamond and Thomas Doyle. Also present, for intimidation
purposes, were 3 uniform Marion County Sheriff Deputies Melgard,
Pontius and Barker and two plainclothes deputies Schultz and
Ford. When Judge William 0. Lewis (from Linn County) entered the
courtroom neither Gaston, Meziere or their supporters stood up. Judge
Lewis then
said he was going to insist that the parties stand when they
address the court. He also threatened the supporters that he would not
tolerate any comment from them during the
proceedings.
After all the parties had identified themselves Judge Lewis said he was going
to first hear the defendants Motion To Dismiss because if granted
that would be the end of the hearing. Assistant Attorney General
George said the state planned to take five minutes to defend their
motions to dismiss. It was obvious to Gaston and Meziere that the
defendants and the Judge had already decided how they were going to keep Gaston
and Meziere from being heard on their Summary Judgment.
The fix was in.
Meziere told Lewis that she was insisting on making a record on
her Motion for Summary Judgment. After a heated exchange between
Lewis and Meziere, Lewis, visibly shaking, said he was going to recess the
hearings and quickly left the courtroom. Weidner then stood and
told all those present "these are public courtrooms. In this country
we have an adversary legal system, plaintiff and defendant and
neutral judge. Mrs. Meziere has an absolute right to make a record in
this court". Weidner sat down and after a few moments told Meziere to
go ahead and make her record.
The record in the courtroom where the
hearing was held is kept on video tape. Meziere then stood and
described the horrible ordeal she and Gaston have been subjected
to for attempting to regain custody of Mellissa and expose the
criminal conduct of all the defendants. The abuse has included repeated
arrests, jailing, menacing, assault, battery and macing. Shortly
after Meziere started to speak Lewis re entered the courtroom. He
waited for a minute or two then told Mezier to stop speaking because he
wanted to resume the hearing. Meziere told Lewis it would take only a few
minutes to finish making her record, and kept going about the
criminal behavior of the defendants.
When Lewis insisted in a loud voice that
Meziere stop speaking Weidner said "let her speak!" Lewis
immediately
pointed a shaking finger at Weidner and said "guards remove him
from the courtroom'. Melgard and Pontius then each grabbed one of
Weidner's arms and escorted him out of the courtroom. As Weidner left the
courtroom he told Gaston, Meziere and the other supporters to
leave also. He said that Lewis was conducting sham proceedings as part
of an on going effort to cover up the criminal conduct of the
defendants.
Most of the supporters left. One who stayed behind was J. P.
Strom, a
veteran with a 100 percent medical disability. He stood and said
that
all Gaston's problems started when his daughter lied that Gaston
had
molested his daughter. He said his daughter has admitted in court
under oath that she lied and it was terrible what the state was
doing to Gaston and his daughter. When Lewis started to interrupt
Strom, Strom interrupted Lewis and said "now you listen to me! God is
listening and you can too!"
He told judge Lewis that" these repeated
hearings against Gaston and Meziere are a waste of taxpayers
money "
and said "there is no reason why Mr. Gaston's daughter has not
been
returned to him. Can YOU tell me why Mr. Gaston's daughter has
not
been returned?" The courtroom fell silent as Lewis let Strom
finish
speaking and said nothing as Strom voluntarily left the
courtroom.
Larry carver then stood and told the Judge to let Meziere speak,
that
she was sui juris. Judge Lewis immediately ordered the guards to
remove Carver. As the guards approached Carver said "don't touch
me"
and the guards stepped back as he left the courtroom.
While Gaston and
Meziere were out of the courtroom the attornies told the judge
that
Gaston and Meziere had not filed any response to their motions
and
they were entitled to have the complaint dismissed. Gaston and
Meziere
then re entered the courtroom and showed the judge the answer and
counterclaim they had filed a month before and that the
attornies were
lying. The hearing ended after Meziere again testified that none
of
the criminal charges they have made against the defendants have
ever
been denied and they are entitled to a Summary Judgment on all
factual
issues set forth in their Racketeering complaint.

Today, March 23, 1998, a WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS will arrive on the desk of Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rhenquist for the release of two people being held POLITICAL PRISONERS IN OREGON - two people are in jail and a 7 year old child is being held hostage in a raging court battle to silence a newspaper and cover-up evidence of felonious acts by agents of State Offices for Services to Children and Families. WILBUR RUSSELL GASTON OF MT. ANGEL, OREGON is being held on 20,000 bail for publishing a newspaper, and DOROTHY ANN BLAKEMORE is under 15,000 bail for criminal trespass (in a public courtroom) resisting arrest and disturbing the peace after being tortured and assaulted in the courtroom by a sheriff gone berserk inciting a riot!
On March 19, 1998, Mrs. Dottie Blakemore was a witness in the courtroom with a crowd of forty people. As 71 year old Mr. Gaston was brought into the courtroom in shackles the audience arose to their feet in honor to this man's courage in the fight for parental rights to their children. Sheriff Sergeant Dave McMullen became enraged at the crowd and attacked Mrs. Blackmore..
Several people said hello to Mr. Gaston as well as Mrs. Blakemore. The sheriff roared in her face that she had no right to speak to his captive and she told him that she had freedom of speech in a public courtroom (court was not yet in session) This Sheriff, Dave McMullen grabbed her breast and she started screaming to ARREST THIS MAN - he is assaulting me !!! He violently assaulted the fifty year old woman and shoved her to the ground.
Officer Papenfus, shouted at everyone that they would arrest the whole audience. Papenfus assisted in the assault. Both men put handcuffs on each of her wrists and dragged her through the court house hall to jail as she screamed in pain and terror.
This same Officer McMullen had just received a tort claim notice from Mr. Gaston for abuse of authority by continuously following his fiancee Pamela with the intent to incite situations which would render her vulnerable to arrest.
After receiving service of notice of tort, Officer McMullen stood back, became pale, sat down and then suddenly turned on the crowd, singling out Dorothy Blakemore as a vulnerable target. These agents and judges are hell-bent to somehow get away with misconduct and even criminal conspiracy but thanks to the courageous efforts of many people who show up in court and are willing to speak out about such blatant corruption the public's eyes are being opened.
Mr. Gaston learned by discovery through the Freedom of Information Act that his daughter has been held by SOSCF for two years with no evidence of probable cause. His daughter was originally taken from him on the word of Shirley Baez, a black market baby seller who was arrested in Mexico for child buying.
Under oath, testimony was given last week that his daughter has been in more than 13 foster homes, BURNED in one, SEXUALLY ABUSED IN THREE, and a PORNOGRAPHIC MOVIE was made of her at the instruction of the caseworker by foster parent Hazel Spees, who is also a first grade teacher at Monitor Elementary School.
SOSCF caseworkers, admitted on the stand that they knew all along of this abuse and no report was ever made and nothing was done to any of the foster parents!
Last January, Mr. Gaston filed a $500 million dollar lawsuit against 49 (now up to 53) state officers, agents of the state, 8 judges and counting, 4 sheriffs, et al, the State of Oregon and SOSCF.
WE ASK HOW MUCH IS YOUR CHILD'S LIFE WORTH?
As court actions have been on going since last August to force the release of Mr. Gaston's daughter, an unimaginable picture of corruption has come to light. The evidence of criminal behavior of foster parents, caseworkers, counselors, attorneys, police and sheriff departments and judges all working with practiced and polished methods of deception to terrorize and destroy families who are unable to fight back.
But there is hope. A week ago the families of Monitor School held a protest against Mrs. Spees who for years has abused their first graders. For the last four years they have been filing complaints with the school district. There has been no success in the attempts to have her removed. Mr. Gaston watched from across the street on public property taking pictures for A VOICE FOR CHILDREN. The nonprofit organization is working to pass THE FAMILY PROTECTION AMENDMENT, a Constitutional Amendment to bring due process and accountability to the SOSCF.
Mr. Gaston was ARRESTED and charged with protective stalking order violation number four, 5,000 bail which was raised and he came home. The following Monday., in what was supposed to have been an arraignment on the protest arrest, Judge Loraine Angelmeier, without hearing the charges brought before her, produced a fraudulent warrant signed without documents by Judge Paul Lipscomb, Stalking Protective Order violation number five with 20,000. bail. Unable to raise the money this time, Mr. Gaston languishes in jail.
Mr. Gaston can only afford to defend himself sui juris. The aim of this persecution is to render him defenseless. Incarceration without access to his legal documents and papers he can not present an adequate defense.
Pamela Meziere has been given a memo by this same Judge Lipscomb that she is to be arrested upon entering Marion County Courthouse, also another blatantly illegal tactic to keep the lawsuit from proceeding.
This volatile situation - A POWDER KEG - is shining a light on the methods and operations the state "child protectors" use to instill memories, exploit sexually and terrorize the children taken into their custody. The use of drugs, continuous traumatizing interviews, shifting children from house to house render them "adoptable" with "special needs." The agencies reap huge monetary awards for the more children they can PROCESS !
They have been put on notice now by the families of Oregon who are uniting - to EXPOSE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR CHILDREN !
Mr. Gaston's case against these people has moved it to the center of a FIRESTORM and the judges are unbelievably abusing legislative intent of ORS l63 Stalking ordinance to silence Mr. Gaston's newspaper and to silence and incarcerate Mr. Gaston.
Mr. Gaston and Pamela Meziere have been cited five times and now his arrest on the same charge - breaking a protective stalking order -for writing a newspaper for the last year and for being at an orderly protest.
On Thursday, Pamela Meziere filed the writ of habeas corpus in the Supreme Court to release Will and Dottie from extreme injustice and false incarceration . The whole situation has arisen from Mr. Gaston's tenacity and determination to bring an end to the abuse of his daughter and to pray for relief for his family.
The Senate and Legislature is hearing the testimony now from the families of Oregon who have been abused. Although most are afraid for their lives to talk, and are threatened, that they will never see their children if they "cause any trouble' or participate "in unacceptable activities." The people are calling for indictment hearings to bring accountability to this abusive, out of control, Federally and State financed un-American TERRORISM!
There are upcoming hearings and all of the cases now constantly fluctuate, often leaving two days notice of court.... A jury trial is set for April 6, l998, Marion County Courthouse at 9:00 am. EVERYONE NEEDS TO HELP FIGHT THIS LAWFUL BATTLE TO RESTORE CONSTITUTIONALITY AND DUE PROCESS INTO OUR COURTS AND HOLD OUR Families TOGETHER!!! The stated goals of this agency are to "create families that they can subsidize and control, preying on the vulnerable.
WE NEED YOUR HELP WITH THE FAMILY PROTECTION AMENDMENT. IT IS TIME TO SET THE PRISONERS FREE!

While Will was appearing in Judge Loraine Anglemeier court on an arraignment hearing. He asked her what was the venue. She told him she didn't have to tell him. Judge Loraine Anglemeier pulled out an arrest warrant signed by Judge Lipscomb. The police arrested him saying they were just doing their job. I have seen Judge Loraine Anglemeier in action.. twice, once February 4, 1997 and 15th of May, when she arrested a man for failing to appear while he was appearing. The original charge was a violation which was a non jailable offense..
"We have to go into court on March l9th at 2:00 Marion County Courthouse, Judge Norblad courtroom, Judge Karaman from Jackson County presiding and I know that the plan is to arrest me too! They added a "get a mental health exam" when they upheld the stalking citations for a newspaper and by refusing to submit I am now in contempt!"
WHAT ARE WE TO DO? WHO DO WE GO TO FOR HELP? The Silverton Police Chief sent our documents to the Justice Dept. to get someone to prosecute this RICO act racketeering case against the state.
What needs to happen RIGHT NOW is EVERYBODY to write letters to Senators, as they are in the process of indictment hearings on these judges and state workers, come to the hearings - we need PEOPLE sitting there or the Judge will not be honest (even then) but the people need to see how we are WINNING this battle. No matter what the fearful appearances, we must be of strong and utmost faith that all is really in Father's hands and just keep going about His work.
There is a plan, a Way and
we are walking in it- the Valley of Decision, Jehosophat, you
mentioned - amazing picture there of EXACTLY where we are .....
Please do all you can ...

Dear Gregory and the good people of ekklesia,
This situation that I find myself in with Mr. Gaston
fighting for
the return of his daughter is escalating beyond anything we
could
ever imagine ! Last Wednesday Mr. Gaston was ARRESTED while
taking
pictures from across the street where a orderly (ruly) protest
was taking place
by the families of Monitor, Oregon, trying to force the removal
of
the teacher/foster mother who took the pornographic movie of
Melissa.
These families have been trying to get her out for years with
formal complaints to the superintendent to no avail as she has
terribly abused their first grade children. The newspapers were
there and many witnesses and the sheriff who took him said the
orders
came from "way high up" and that he did not want to be doing
what he
was doing.
The state is relentlessly attacking all of our
Constitutional rights and freedom to protest and to write a
newspaper. I received a "memo" from presiding Judge Lipscomb
that
if I step into the Marion County Courthouse I will be arrested!
This renders Mr. Gaston and myself vulnerable as I cannot do my
paperwork and we are both sui juris and now I cannot adequately
defend myself. We are forced into hearings and trials on three
days
notice and cannot subpoena any of the criminal witnesses that we
need
to hold long enough to shred under oath, with no documents and
continuance denied.
We just came out of a four day "trial" without
charges and without a jury as they practice in juvenile court.
The
testimony we have now is unbelievable from the caseworkers and
counselors we cross examined. Mr. Gaston made an opening
statement
four hours long describing the criminal activities of the state
officers and agents and maybe got half the story on the record.
We
keep going in and making more of the record each time and as
this
keeps going we are compiling evidence under oath of these
people.
We were told in court by the judge that we would get our
transcript of
the testimony, but now that the Judge went back to Bend, this
Judge
Lipscomb is not releasing our transcript. We fight like tigers
to
get our documents - and we DO get them - but always the attempts
to
hold the evidence needed for our defense ! When we get this
transcript we are sharing it with the public, as Public Right To
Know
is paramount and one of the reasons we get our documents, as
what we
are doing is revealing the inner workings of this agency that
steals
children and terrorizes them and the families. Practiced and
polished methods of deception, we call it. You cannot believe
what
has been going on!
Mr. Gaston SAW the pornographic video that was
made of his daughter and it IS definitely pornography and the
foster
mother who did this definitely DID encourage her to do this all
Class A felonies.
The caseworkers who have been holding Melissa for
two years all admitted under oath that, bottom line, there was
NEVER
ANY CREDIBLE EVIDENCE against Mr. Gaston that he never was
abusive to
his daughter in any way ! THERE NEVER WAS ANY PROBABLE CAUSE !
So now we have testimony in their own words that yes - they
take
children without probable cause, and yes they hold and abuse
them in
foster "care" without any credible evidence of abuse! These
caseworkers admitted that they KNEW for all this time that
Melissa
has been sexually abused in three foster homes, burned in one
and
this pornography made of her and NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING
ABOUT IT ! Evidence - not allegations like they used to take
her and
are using to hold her.
The policeman who took her is involved in black
market baby selling and took Melissa based on his own created
documents. He did not testify and the Judge maneuvered the
hearing
so that we only had three days notice and could not subpoena
this
policeman ! Last week another one of the policemen involved in
this
went to jail for abuse of power and fraudulent documents. We
heard
testimony at his sentencing hearing about what bad news this
Gary
Robertson, Silverton police, is and that he cannot be trusted.
At one point in the hearing the DA stood up and said "Mr.
Gaston
would have us believe that you can believe every detail of a
police report!"
everyone groaned - this was when we presented a Silverton Police
report
that stated the caseworker who took Melissa is a "Registered sex
offender - YES."
Then we also presented the confidentially document which
was altered when they cleaned up the record a few months ago, as
this
all came to light.
Since, Mr. Gaston has filed a half a billion dollar
lawsuit against all of these people, including six judges
already and
43 others, all they keep doing is desperately protecting state
interests at all costs and these individuals have sold their
souls
long ago on questions of Right or Morality. Attack, destroy,
desecrate, abuse, intimidate and conceal is all they are capable
of
doing.
Today we filed a demand for arrest with Silverton Police
Chief Rick Lewis on Hazel Spees, the pornographer/teacher/foster
mother and Gary Robertson Silverton policeman. This will now go
to
the Justice Dept. as overseer to the District Attorney and call
for
prosecution of these criminals.
We heard testimony in court that was unbelievable from
these
caseworkers - how they think regarding children and families and
how
anything natural is perverted. If you hold your babies too much
you
are inappropriately touching them and that you are supposed to
"engage in appropriate age and gender related activities" that
are
"acceptable". That if your three year old gets out of the tub
and
runs around the house naked that the child needs to be
"controlled"
and that people must be "trained" to be "acceptable parents"
according to some unimaginable standard that they use to judge
families.
These caseworkers and expert witnesses are soulless
beings with vacant eyes and all talk the same way and act the
same
way and when you get them under oath and they have to answer
piercing
questions the perversion of their "training" is so evident that
it is
scary to watch! We have testimony that reveals the mind control
and
instilled memory behavior modification techniques that they use
to
get any kind of a statement that can be construed as
incriminating
in any way.
They hone in on a piece of a story, or memory or dream
or whatever and create stories around it then tell the child to
tell
the "truth" constantly stating to the child what the "truth" is!
But,
as we said in court, the great thing about liars is that the
left
hand does not know what the right hand is doing and the
"stories"
they have created have elements that are off in timing in place
and
completely fabricated. It is almost impossible to defend
against a
story that is created from pieces of real memories, and the
children
are absolutely tortured by incessant repeated conversations
about
"daddies, sex and vaginas" in that order. A constant assault by
foster parents, caseworkers and counselors!
You will not believe the story that is unfolding ! What
is
being revealed is so HORRENDOUS and INSIDIOUS that it is almost
unbearable to se what we see in the courtroom and that most
people do
not realize that we are living in a POLICE STATE. Not getting
that
way - ARE IN IT NOW ! We have documents now from a meeting in
l986
called Oregon Agenda for the l990's Children and Families... All
of
the "powers that be" in Oregon met, the Governor and all of his
agencies and the gist of this meeting was that "family values
are
part of the problem, not the solution" and plans were made to
enact
programs to control and create families that they can
financially
subsidize. To put a big brother/sister on every child from
kindergarten up that will be their "friend for life" placed
there by
the state ! The decision was made at that time that Oregon
would
be a "Pioneer State" and that after the police state agenda was
in
place and the method of operation established, that this will be
the
national standard.
Now, thirteen years later, we are seeing these exact
programs being implemented RIGHT NOW ! This is not a lunatic
fringe belief anymore and the magnitude of the corruption is
horrific! There is absolutely NO CONSTITUTION in our courtroom
in
Oregon in 1998 and we are getting the signatures on the Family
Protection Amendment right now. We have four or five cases now
against us. All for writing and printing the newspaper for A
Voice For Children
stating the details of this video that this woman has made. For
this they have upheld stalking charges and defamation charges
and
now they have added two charges of contempt on Will and myself
for not
stopping the newspaper and for not submitting to their "mental
health
commitment enforcer" (really his title !) when we were told by
corrupt Judges Haas, Dickey and Abernathy to do so.
As we never had stalked anyone, not getting the mental health
exam renders usvulnerable to contempt. So, we are going into
jury trials
on this part and sui juris. We will make these trials as all
encompassing as
we can, as Mr. Gaston cannot get a jury to hear the case for
Melissas
release. The state rarely charges parents with criminal
charges,
as they never have Mr. Gaston, because it takes it out of
juvenile
court where they can get away with destroying peoples lives and
your
rights are nonexistent and they treat these cases as civil
cases.
The judges believe themselves to be gods in their own domain.
We
found out why attorneys will not fight this battle for familles
when
they lose their children. They are disbarred for "irritating
the
court" !! When you are sui juris, you are a loose cannon and
you can
demand your Constitutional rights and do not care if you
"irritate"
anybody including the judge, who is supposed to be a neutral
party ONLY and you are there to make a record Instead, they
write law
from the bench as they go and anything goes ! Like your freedom
and
all of your rights and your children permanently! We are living
proof that all of this is so - documented in their own words !
There is so much more - we are trying so hard to help people to
SEE
how serious this is and that if this Nazi SS State is not ended
we
are looking at the new world according to the State! It is
frightening to even consider that this will prevail ! Our eyes
have
been opened so wide that we can hardly stand what we see, it is
so
bad ! People have got to charge authorities and agents for
their
abuses of power. That is all there is ! No more "internal
investigations" that keep all these things hidden - no more
unaccountability.
We must strip this agency and start again with
compassion and change the laws that are allowing individuals
within
these agencies to enact their corruption and abuse of power.
They
have an agenda and the bottom line is MONEY - GREED - what else?
Attorneys will not fight this battle for anyone, will suck you
dry
and never once tell the story of your abuse in court or allow
you to
speak. You have to fight this battle sui juris and take a crowd
of
people in with you to make a record of criminal behavior or you
will be
squashed like a bug otherwise.
People have to stand up for what they see
and what they know in their heart is RIGHT and JUST and
people must learn what this concept of sui juris is all about. .
It
is bringing SACRED LAW back into the heart of this country.
When one
uses the term pro se it means that you represent yourself, which
in
itself is an impossibility - you cannot represent yourself YOU
ARE
YOURSELF and sui juris means I AM, before the court, and in all
matters of sound mind and eyes and hands to write to plead my
own
case. Very important difference and when we do this we are not
only
do we begin to bring TRUTH into the court but we are bringing
GOD
back into the fabric of this nation.
WE HAVE GOT TO WAKE UP!
This case is becoming a catalyst for ending this
terrorism in
our own country and state. All of the elements of this case
reveal
the corruption going on in our agencies and courts and police
departments and for a lot of people this creates great fear when
suddenly they cannot trust what they have always trusted. All
of the
authorities become suspect - not just thinking that this might
be so
- this is our daily reality out at the capitol building and at
the
courthouse almost daily in court or related business.
If Mr. Gaston and I had "normal" jobs
(I am an artist and sign maker and Mr. Gaston is retired)
we could never fight this battle. Most of the families
cannot and this agency knows this and they take their children!
Right now a child in the system represents $90,000 in illegally
compelled contracts annually and that is just a part of the
budget
this agency is receiving from every tax dollar you pay to kidnap
and
terrorize and abuse and rape our children! There is so much
more....
We affirm only VICTORY in this war and many people are
praying
for us in this situation. It is our story but it is really
about all
of our children and families. This is the DAY OF CHOOSING and
the
form of the new world is being modeled now - THEY are intensely
at
work forming it in the image of the system/beast. ARE YOU "
'SHOUTING
FROM THE ROOFTOPS WHAT I WHISPER IN YOUR EAR? "We must all do
our
part, after all, this is our posterity and all of our
responsibility.
Light be in and around you and thank you for your prayers.

Thank you for the beautiful article on your web page ....
Things are exploding in this case - one statement was that the
people sent a shock wave through the Capitol at the hearing
last week...We are learning to fight this battle and bring to
light the corruption and terrorism people are enduring at the
hands of the state and judicial system - like sheep to slaughter
we have been at the mercy of this beast and now with one voice
people are overcoming their fear and coming forward demanding
their children, due process and justice to be served. I am
also including the transcript of the omnibus hearing... Thank
you for helping us to raise the consciousness of the trusting
people of Oregon that they are in great danger if this system
is not rebuilt from the ashes..... Roger Weidner,
President of the Constitutional Defenders, opened with
remarks on the corruption in Oregon courts and the lack of
integrity in the judges in Oregon. He pointed out to
those present that a court is a place to make a Public
Record. He further stated that corrupt judges uphold
fraudulent motions and documents and suborn the intent and
constitutionality of Law. Dottie Ann Blakemore, poet,
family activist and publisher/editor of the Family Freedom
Press, spoke of the destruction of peace to families and
peace to children brought about by SOSCF's criminal, cruel
policies hidden and covered from public view. One young man,
Michael Dorson, told of his "raising" in the foster care
system telling of a life of abuse; of SOSCF's lies, deceptions
and criminal abuses. A poignant story that brought tears to
the eyes of many in the hearing room as Mr. Dorson said "They
have stolen my childhood." Mrs. Angela Borovicka told how
they had jailed her husband for 169 days without a hearing
and then SOSCF dismissed the allegations and now SOSCF is
moving to take their parental rights without due
process. Mrs. Sharon Bahler complained of overt threats
by SOSCF to the effect that they would not allow this
grandmother to have her grandchildren if she continued to
associate with members of Grandparents for Family
Justice. Claude Derr, a founding member of Grandparents
For Family Justice and Family Rights Lobbyist, spoke about the
kinship bill passed last legislative session and about SOSCF's
lack of compliance. Ed Johnston, a single man shocked at what
the state allows a state agency to do to families says he
has a great fear in the thought of raising a family in the
shadow of this agency out of control. Johnston, a Lincoln
County candidate for County Commissioners Seat #1, called
for a Senate Indictment hearing for those people who have
been illegally removing children from their homes.
Betty Stenzel, family activist, Lynnett Brokow, Roger
Olsen and others who have been victimized spoke of the
horrors of their involvement with this "Police State"
agency. Will Gaston with A Voice For Children spoke on
the criminal assault made on his family (he has a
$500,000,000.00 lawsuit against the State of Oregon, SOSCF,
et.al. (49 individuals). Pamela Meziere, co-director of A Voice
For Children also spoke about the Gaston vs State of Oregon
case and crimes of the SOSCF. The committee adjourned at
5:37 but Sen. George and a few remaining activists engaged
in conversation until security asked to close the wing at
the Capitol Building.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ATTEND. ALSO: APRIL 6,1998 9:00
AM JURY TRIAL FOR STOCKING DO TO THE PUBLISHING OF THE NEWSPAPER
A VOICE FOR CHILDREN. BE THERE.
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR
THE COUNTY OF MARION
Child, Juvenile Case No.
91J0740
In August, l995, SOSCF caseworker Tim Irmen filed a
paper with the court to establish the fact that Melissa
Ann Maxwell/Philips /Gaston was a ward of the court
residing with me, her father, Wilbur R. Gaston. In this
report he gives his opinion that I am "minimally"
cooperating with the SOSCF service agreement. ( Mr.
Irmen, in the Silverton Police Report, is a registered
sex offender and caseworker). Along with his associate
Shirley Baez, who manages the state housing apartments
where I lived with my daughter, a plan was created to
manufacture evidence through slanderous accusations and
perjured coerced witnesses to kidnap Melissa, to
discredit and destroy my reputation and parental rights
and to personally profit from illegally adopting
Melissa into the underground illegal adoption market with
whom they participate. (Shirley Baez later was arrested in
Mexico illegally buying an infant to sell in the US as
reported in several newspapers. Police reports were written
of two other known incidents in this same apartment complex
of Baez and her associates trying to buy and confiscate
babies. She was turned down from legally adopting because
of a criminal history, the newspaper stated.)
On October 5, l995 a friend and cohort of Shirley Baez
named Mignon Bruno called SOSCF and said that her daughter
Andrea Bruno had heard about a little girl being abused
(when questioned Andrea did not remember what the girl said
and her mother Mignon stated she was not actually present
when the alleged remarks were made.) Two other friends of
Mrs. Baez, Nico Vega and Santiago Reyes, offered lurid
descriptions of things they had alledgedly heard Melissa say
(when questioned in the police reports, Melissa said these
statements were not true and that these were "bad people").
On October 7, l995, Silverton Police officers Jack
Mattingly and Ed Jensen stopped me on a false pretense
(their words) and questioned me about these allegations.
The next day, SOSCF interviewed Melissa and had her
physically examined and found no signs of abuse and there
were no disclosures. Melissa was returned to my care and
the reports officially were closed, according to Judge
Leggert October 7, l995.
On February 12, 21 and 22 three documents were created by
Silverton Police Officers Sylvia Stearns and Gary Robertson
along with a coerced witness Donna Meyer, all reports
written to be slanderous, all without substance and designed
to be used as "evidence" to kidnap Melissa. I was
repeatedly harassed as these individuals waged their attack
in a relentless effort to make sure next time they took her
that I would not get her back. A witness testified they
heard Mrs. Baez describe how she was going to frame me for
sexual abuse of my daughter and how she could make it stick
and "get rid of me one way or another". At this time there
were frequent visits to Mrs. Baez' and Mignon Bruno's
residence by caseworker Larry Lawson, who had replaced Tim Irmen
in this "case" that was officially unfounded and supposed to
have been closed.
On March 20, l996, Officers Robertson and Stearns interviewed
Shirley Baez and her friend Mignon Bruno's niece, Judy Strom,
who told the officers that she saw me inapropriately touch my
daughter. ( When questioned in court she admitted it was all
lies and that she had perjured herself because her aunt said
she should say these things. ) The officers put Melissa into
their patrol car from the yard in front of our apartment
without a warrant and then came to my door, telling me that
they were taking Melissa based on their fabricated "evidence"
(all of which was dismissed in court Nov.6, l996 ).
In the SOSCF reports at the time Melissa was kidnapped, it
is stated that there are no criminal charges pending against
me. In April, l996, another report states there will be no
criminal charges filed against me, yet without any
explanation on April 15, l996 my visitations were stopped by
Judge Joseph Ochoa . and DA William Howell, and all response
to any inquiry by me about Melissa was ended.
At
this time, according to discovery, Melissa was sexually abused
in the foster home of Ruth and Kenneth Miklaucic. SOSCF moved
her and other children from this home and nothing was done to
the foster parents and no public record or police report was
made of this incident. Carla, Melissa's half sister who was
also abused, was shipped to the east coast three weeks ago
to avoid her testimony by SOSCF. As my daughter was abused
and terrorized, my attorney, Jeanean Craig, advised me to
"let it sit for a while" , did nothing to defend me or bring
about reconciliation, and participated in closed hearings of
which I was never appraised.
In May and June of l996,at attorney Jeanean Craig's
instigation, while no communication or response was
forthcoming from SOSCF, a counselor,Shirley Hardwick, and a
lawyer, Richard Condon entered the case. Mrs. Hardwick
began to and has since worked toward getting "disclosures"
of any kind, repeatedly instigating vile discussions of a
sexual nature to Melissa and exploiting her, emotionally
abusing her with coercive therapy and instilled memories and
aiding Mr. Lawson , Diane Rainey and associates in their
attempt to procure Melissa for adoption. Mr. Condon did
nothing and has ever since utterly failed to protect Melissa
and has never been present when she has been sexually
interrogated, physically transported or interviewed in private
unmonitored situations by police officers.
On October 2, l996, according to discovery, caseworker
Larry Lawson told Melissa's then foster mother, Hazel
Spees, to get disclosures from Melissa "by any means" in
order to take parental rights from me at a hearing on
October 28, l996. She was told to exploit the child in a
sexual manner to extract "all she knows about sexual
behavior" and to encourage child sex abuse, and to
influence the child to think of her father in a sexual manner
(by her own words). Mrs. Spees, that night, took a video
camera and encouraged Melissa to strip naked , dance and
masturbate on film and gave the film to Mr. Lawson on
October 3, l996. Mrs. Spees said in her confession this
was pornography and she "felt totally comfortable doing it".
Three months later she allowed Gary Robertson privately in
her home to talk dirty to Melissa asking her "how it felt
when her daddy put straw up her butt and did it feel good".
Within days, new
caseworkers replaced Mr. Lawson, and caseworkers Susan
Syrnek and Kem Sunich , according to the documents, first
knew about the tape and concealed any public knowledge of
this criminal sexual abuse. Another new caseworker was
brought in, Diane Rainey, and on October 25, l996 , State
Police officer Michael Gower interviewed Hazel Spees regarding
the video. SOSCF claimed to have investigated this matter
internally which in reality was that on October 31, l996, the
video was seen by Judge Joseph Ochoa, lawyer for Mr. Gaston,
Jeanean Craig, and DA William Howell, whereupon it was sealed
and all knowledge of this crime was covered up. They had
postponed the October 28 custody hearing until this video
had been sealed, according to Hazel Spees, to keep Will
from finding out about it and getting Melissa back. On
November 4, l996 I aired a video on Public TV charging the
herein named individuals with kidnapping my daughter for
black market adoption and pornography trade. On the
evening of the 4th two men representing Jeannie Vega came to
my door threatening to kill me if I didn't shut up and if I
tried to bring Jeannie Vega into court. The next day, two
unauthorized Silverton Police officers came to my door
threatening to arrest me for verbal harassment for talking
about Shirley Baez . They said they could arrest me and their
chief did not need to know they were there. The next day the
chief knew nothing about this. Two days later an unknown woman
came to my door with a purse she said she had found, trying to
make me take it from her. One hour later Chief Lundsford came
back with the same purse, also trying to make me take it from
him. in an attempt at entrapment. On November 6, l996, Judge
Greg West heard testimony of primary witness who admitted to
perjury and the original motion alleging innapropriate touching
was dismissed.
I was ordered to take a mental exam (for the second time)
which concluded that reunification should be the goal for
myself and daughter. This was completed in December, and in
January a service contract was agreed upon to work toward a
goal of releasing her in March, l997. SOSCF never allowed
this contract to be fulfilled and we now see from the
documents that they never intended to send her home, and were
conducting slanderous coercive investigations in yet a
further attempt to justify their holding Melissa hostage
without probable cause or evidence for over a year, at that
time. (now it has been two years), and concealing the
evidence that will free her.
From February until August, l996, visitations again were ended
with no cause and response to all inquiries was "it is under
investigation" and I continued to be locked out of the
appeals process to force the return of my daughter.
In the course of their "investigations" caseworker Diane
Rainey, officer Robertson, State Police officer Kenneth
Pecyna and DA William Howell have bribed and coerced
witnesses and brought fraudulent, duplicated motions into
court to hold Melissa, and when it was brought out in
October l997 that this same motion had been dismissed in
November of l996, these individuals decided to exploit yet
another sexually abused child, Melissa's half-sister Amanda,
who, according to the documents does not even know my name
and is currently institutionalized and in sex offender
status. The report asks that she be "prepared" a few days
before for the police interview, and Mr. Howell and Mr.
Pecyna have coerced and exploited this child, too..
On August 26, Judge Terry Leggert ordered SOSCF to charge
me or the case would be dismissed.Mr. Howell entered this
fraudulent duplicated motion and by upholding it and not
returning Melissa, the slanderous attack has continued
and so Mr. Howell presented a newly coerced allegation and
added three new words to the duplicate motion in an attempt
to make it legitimate.
On December 9, l997,I printed and had distributed a
non-profit newspaper "A Voice For Children" and printed the
confession of Hazel Spees making the pornographic video of
Melissa. In another attempt to create fraudulent
manufactured evidence and cover up their crimes, Officer
Robertson and Mrs. Spees cited me for stalking. I had never
had any contact with Mrs. Spees before court the citing
officer was not present and three judges - Haas, Dickey and
Abernathy aided these individuals in their attack on me by
upholding this in a court of law to silence all knowledge
of this criminal conspiracy and sexual abuse.
There has been a relentless and desperate campaign of
defamation,coersion and influencing of witnesses in an attempt
to fabricate evidence in this case and this continues as we
speak, the latest investigations opened last month even as
we have been going into court. As more and more criminal
behavior comes to light there has been an ongoing united effort
to silence the discovery and conceal evidence. Judges are
upholding fraudulent charges without understanding what they
are a part of in acting on motions affecting this case.
The individuals named herein have terrorized, exploited,
abused and slandered Melissa and myself. Judge Leggert
denied me the right to pray with my daughter, issuing a court
order forbidding me to talk to her about God. They have
together seriously violated my and Melissa's constitutional
rights and freedoms and have been holding her for almost 2
years in more than 10 foster homes. All the while every adult
Melissa has talked to instigates and encourages child sexual
abuse and exploitation with their repeated discussions of a
sexual nature - vile, disgusting adults immorally exploiting a
little girl with their own pornographic fantasies for personal
gain in concert and conspiracy with others. After all that has
happened, Melissa is not yet freed to the only real loving
home she has ever known and from which she was torn - with her
me - her father... SEND MY DAUGHTER HOME.
DATED this 14th day of January, l998

(submitted by A
Voice For Children) We have an unbelievable
story unfolding in Oregon and we need your help in order to
protect a little girl!! WE ARE OUTRAGED!! She has been sexually
abused and her abusers for a year have covered the evidence of
their crime which now has come to light. A pornographic
video was made of this little girl by a foster mother at the
behest of a caseworker for Oregon Services to Children and
Families. The foster mother was told to and did encourage this
6 year old child to strip, dance naked and masturbate on film.
The enclosed document is the foster mother's words, obtained by
the Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act and Public Right to
Know, revealing the contents of this tape. This video
was sealed on October 31, l996 and only now have we been able
to discover its contents. We are experiencing a major
cover-up at many levels of state agencies, even now the Attorney
Generals Office is saying that they will not nor cannot talk
about it - this in response to Senate inquiries into this
case... The little girl was taken criminally from her father's
custody on false allegations that were recanted and there never
have been any charges brought against him, but THEY KEEP THE
CHILD !!!!! The State caseworkers and associates began a
malicious campaign to create "evidence" to justify their
illegal behaviors and now they have attempted to settle out of
court, an admission of guilt trying to keep this tape
concealed. Now they have once again switched judges and set a
court date for March in order to avoid a two year tort claim
filing period - OUTRAGEOUS!!! THEY ARE NOT GOING TO KEEP THIS
QUIET !!! This child has been in at least ten different
foster homes in two years and we have documented proof of
sexual abuse in three homes and she was burned in one (some of
this is mentioned in the enclosed confession) ... all the while
SOSCF has been repeatedly opening "investigations" and a
malicious campaign of slander against the father - they are
accountable to no one and are acting above the law... THIS
CHILD NEEDS YOUR HELP!!! ONLY THE OUTRAGE OF THE PEOPLE
WHO KNOW THIS IS GOING ON WILL RESCUE THIS ABUSED LITTLE GIRL
AND HER FATHER FROM THE TERRORISM THEY ARE EXPERIENCING!!!
Please read the enclosed documents. We cannot believe we live
in the USA to experience the way the system has locked us out of
any type of grievance process or accountability. You keep
thinking as it goes on that justice will prevail - that someone
will listen and care and that the nightmare will end, but we
are only driven deeper into the jaws of the beast with no
effective overseer for abuses of authority. This
situation is eye opening and it is getting more bizarre and
outrageous every day now - the judge wants to put a gag order on
the tape, so we must get this evidence out into the media - out
into the mainstream, before they can shut this up. Under Oregon
penal code making, having, viewing, reproducing or distributing
of any form of pornography is a class A felony. NO EXEMPTIONS
EXIST FOR THIS. The closest thing SOSCF is legally allowed
occurs in their assesment centers - a therapeutic setting,
gender sensitive doctors, third party witness and lawyer
present. This in no way is what has occured here. In court
last week the DA said that they knew it" could be" criminal
when they viewed it and sealed it a year ago, and the judge
also said criminal. The enclosed article also tells SOSCF's
reply to this - they have admitted everything, that they made
this tape, concealed knowledge of it and are trying to pass
this off as "bad judgement" and ultimately they are making the
child a scapegoat, blaming her for "going too far", for the
perverted, exploitive behavior of the adults around her.
This woman is still a foster mother, and a FIRST GRADE TEACHER
Four years ago families in the local school district wrote
letters and campaigned to remove her for abusing their
children!!(In court she said they were liars.) The caseworker
is still a caseworker. The slander and "investigations" are
continuing as we speak, even as they have attempted to settle
out of court. Bottom line - this little girl continues to
be abused and terrorized by this system - every adult she has
encountered in the past two years has talked to her about her
about vile, pornographic conversations about her private parts
and sexual acts. THIS ABUSE HAS GOT TO BE STOPPED AND ONLY
THE LIGHT OF PUBLIC OPINION WILL END IT. The father is
acting Pro Se, having fired lawyers who allowed this situation
to continue, and who will not fight for the families against
the state. We now go to the Supreme Court level and a Senate
investigation continues to develop into SOSCF on this and other
cases. We ask your help in making people see how serious and
insidious this problem is - what is happening here is an
abomination! Senator Ron Wyden last week told the audience at a
town hall meeting that every county he has gone into he has
heard stories of abuse and terrorism by this state agency
against families of Oregon. HELP US SAVE OUR LITTLE GIRL
and countless others in great despair - INVESTIGATE and see
for yourself the outrageousness we are experiencing - we have
to expose the REAL story here. There is so much more to
this agonizing situation. We hope and pray that you will care
enough about the children and families of Oregon to expose
these lies and cover-up being attempted right now. Please call: Note: Subscriptions to
