injunction. On March 23, the governors of Texas, Louisiana,
New Jersey, and South Dakota filed their brief and offered
as their reasons: “First, the injunction protects the executive
branches in the Governors‟ States from irreparable injuries.”
And, “Second, the Amici Governors have an interest in
rebutting the arguments offered by the State of Washington
on behalf of 13 other States.”
The brief stated:
The question presented is whether the President can
unilaterally legalize the presence of millions of people
and unilaterally give them myriad legal benefits,
including work permits, Medicare, Social Security, and
tax credits. This is not a debate over “national
immigration policy.”
The decision by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to add
his state to the brief surprised many political observers,
since New Jersey was not one of the plaintiffs in State of
Texas et al v. United States of America et al. Furthermore,
there has not been as much public opposition to the Obama
immigration actions in New Jersey as in many other states.
Some see Christie‟s action as an attempt by the middle-of-
the-road governor to improve his image among party
conservatives and help his faltering efforts to seek the 2016
GOP nomination.

Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of
the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see
the sepulcher. And
behold,
there was a great
earthquake; for an angel
of the Lord descended
from heaven and came
and rolled back the
stone; and sat upon it.
His appearance was like
lightning, and his
raiment white as snow. And for fear of him the guards
trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to
the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek
Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has risen, as
he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly
and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and
behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see
him. Lo, I have told you." So they departed quickly from the
tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they
came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then
Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my
brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."

peace in heaven, and glory in highest."

US Declassifies Report Detailing Israel's Nuke Program By Jason Devaney, March 26, 2015, newsmax.com
The U.S. government has chosen to declassify a top secret
document that pulls the lid off Israel's nuclear weapons
program.
According to Israel National News, the document written in
1987 was released in early February. It is believed to be the first
time the U.S. has publicly acknowledged Israel has nuclear
arms.
The 386-page document provides a detailed breakdown of how
Israel developed nuclear weapons in the 1970s and 1980s.
Israel is "developing the kind of codes which will enable them
to make hydrogen bombs. That is, codes which detail fission
and fusion processes on a microscopic and macroscopic level,"
reads the report, called "Critical Technological Assessment in
Israel and NATO Nations."
The document, paraphrases Israel National News, says Israel
was "reaching the ability to create bombs considered a thousand times more powerful than atom bombs" in the 1980s.
The document also says Israel's nuclear research laboratories "are equivalent to [the United States'] Los Alamos, Lawrence
Livermore and Oak Ridge National Laboratories."
"As far as nuclear technology is concerned the Israelis are roughly where the U.S. was in the fission weapon field in about
1955 to 1960," reads the document.
Courthouse News Service obtained a copy of the document, which was released in the weeks leading up to Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's March 3 speech in front of Congress, in which he warned the world about Iran's nuclear
program.
The document's release stems from a legal battle started by Grant Smith of the Institute for Research: Middle East Policy. The
Pentagon, according to Israel National News, initially was slow to respond to Smith's request. Smith then filed a lawsuit, and
the document was released in February.
Notably, sections of the report that discuss Italy, France, West Germany, Germany, and "Other Nato Countries" are redacted in
the unclassified version.
In the section about Israel, the report details the nation's several weapons programs, complete with charts and pictures that
depict weapons systems.
The report was written by the Institute for Defense Analysis, an agency working in tandem with the Pentagon.
Tensions have run high between Netanyahu and President Barack Obama in recent months, and the White House was opposed
to Netanyahu's Congressional speech — which neither the president nor Vice President Joe Biden attended.
Netanyahu was not even invited to the White House during his visit to Washington, D.C.
Netanyahu is skeptical of any deal cut between Iran and a group of six countries that includes the U.S. over Iran's nuclear
program.

Orwellian nightmare unleashed on schoolkids
Teachers now thought police with extreme new spy 'tools' By Leo Hohmann, March 15, 2015, wnd.com
Technology is increasingly being used by schools to gather data on students, testing not just their knowledge of subjects like
reading, math and science but subjective “social skills.”
Parents and students have been “opting out” of high-stakes testing in record numbers over the past year, saying the
standardized tests waste valuable instruction time, cause undue stress and often measure “skills” that have nothing to do with
academic knowledge.
Rather than merely asking for a right or wrong answer to a math, history or science question, the new assessment industry is
capable of boring into a child‟s attitudes, values, opinions and beliefs, all of which parents and privacy advocates say is no
business of the government‟s.
The pushback has led some state education systems to recommend a reduction in the amount of high-stakes testing in public
schools.
But, parents beware, the sudden realization that maybe too much testing is going on is not going to lead to less data being
collected. Quite the opposite.
In fact, traditional testing may no longer be needed. Schools have found they have better, more efficient ways to collect even
more data on your child, without resorting to paper and sharpened No. 2 pencils.
Oregon‟s Gov. John Kitzhaber, for instance, assigned a task force to this problem recently and after a year of private meetings,
the group is ready to unveil its recommendations which are expected to include replacing standardized tests with high-tech
“observation” tools.
Fewer tests might sound like a relief to stressed-out students and wary parents.
But what if your child‟s teacher could have access to a software application that allows her to collect data on your child in real
time, without ever rolling out a test?
Enter the BOSS app. It is just one of countless new data-collection products available to school systems looking to collect data
on the sneak.
BOSS stands for Behavioral Observation of Students in Schools. The app was designed to “enable psychologists to observe”
patients but is now being marketed to schools interesting in tracking students‟ behavioral patterns.
Created by the British-based textbook giant Pearson, the BOSS app can be loaded onto a smartphone and used to secretly
monitor every move of targeted students in the classroom.
Does little Johnny fidget in his seat a bit too much? Does he socialize with the students around him in an appropriate manner?
Does he tend to stare aimlessly out the window when he should be paying attention to the teacher?
All of this information can be pulled in and stored in an individual dossier for later analyzing and assigned an intervention and
remediation that will deal with Johnny‟s shortcomings, whether they be laziness, lack of assertiveness, over-aggressiveness or
whatever psychological problem the app may discover.
BOSS app can be downloaded from iTunes for $29.99 and comes in age-appropriate
versions from pre-K through 12th grade. The product description boasts that BOSS is
able to “record students‟ behaviors in real time. The BOSS software uses interactive
buttons labeled to a particular behavior for the observer to press while observing a
student during a given duration. The software keeps track of the amount of times a
behavioral button is depressed during an observation.”
The app tracks “a student‟s active or passive engagement in activities” and will collect
data and email it to the teacher “for future use to help support a disability diagnosis,” the
Pearson promotional material states.
The BOSS app is not the only new technology percolating in the education industry that
has the ability to invisibly assess students in real time without their knowledge, or the
knowledge of their parents.
Below is a small sampling of other apps being marketed to educators:
9
• “You Can Handle Them All”: This app, produced by Master Teacher, describes 124 behaviors that teachers may encounter
in their students and identifies the primary cause of each. A teacher using this app places each student into a category, with
options that include “The Blabbermouth,” “The Blurter,” “The Boss,” “The Bully,” “The Complainer,” “The Disengaged” and
“The Class Clown.” It then prompts the teacher with suggestions on how to remedy each unwanted behavior.
• “Pearson Dash”: Another product by Pearson, Dash, according to the iTunes product description, enables teachers to
“Organize and track your students” according to classroom seating charts, to “record, edit, and e-mail observational notes on
your students,” to “View student performance and mastery of skills with SuccessTracker data.”
• “What Would You Do at School If”: This app focuses squarely on social skills. Put out by Super Duper Publications, it
seeks to elicit answers to sensitive, revealing questions that help schools develop a psychological profile on each student.
Instead of a test, this app is presented to a young child as a fun “game” while
collecting data on the child‟s parental upbringing and personality.
“Select the cards you want students to see, and have them work on solving
problems and practicing good social skills as they discuss situations in and
around school,” the product description says. “The prompts include
questions like, „What would you do if … you forgot your homework?‟ and,
„What would you do if … your classmate teased you about the new shirt you
wore?‟”
Students are then graded based on how many “right” answers they give in
what is clearly a test of one‟s attitudes, behaviors, values and beliefs. The
problem with such questions, say privacy experts, is that the “right” answer
is clearly subjective and has nothing to do with a student‟s ability to acquire
and retain objective academic knowledge.
For instance, a parent may teach a boy to defend a weaker boy or a girl who
is getting beat up by a bully. But what if the “right” answer in the role
playing game is to go and tell a teacher or principal? Will the child get
marked down if he answers that he would intervene and physically stop the
bully‟s attack? What will the remediation for this “wrong” behavioral skill
be?
According to promotional details on iTunes, the “What Would You Do at
School If” app lets teachers:
• Track correct and incorrect responses for an unlimited number of players.
• Receive feedback for incorrect and/or correct responses
• View results in a graph and see which questions a player missed during a
session.
• Print, E-mail and share your results.
The same vendor, Super Duper Publications, puts out a separate app called “Super Duper Data Tracker” that allows teachers to
“increase the accuracy and efficiency of your data collection” on each individual student.
There are literally dozens of these apps out there being downloaded by teachers, often at the behest of administrators, and many
of them come tailored to the Common Core national education standards.
One teacher who reviewed the Super Duper Data Tracker on iTunes said he liked it but wished the data came with increased
portability and could be more easily integrated into other platforms.
“It would also be great if this was tied to a website where teachers had an account and could input large amounts of data on
something other than the small screen or tempermental (sic) keyboard of an iPad/iPhone,” the teacher said. “Then everything
would be backed up, we could share data with other team members (especially in situations where many people see one
student!). It is a great app, I just think in the day of icloud and spreadsheets it is BEGGING for a big overhaul.”
Playing video „games‟
Another hot trend is using role-playing computer games to assess students. The games would be programmed to scoop up data
based on every reaction the child has to the challenges presented in the game. The questions could then be changed “on the fly”
to probe areas of weakness and collect more data.
10
One of these games, called the MineCraft Behavioral Improvement Plan, can be programmed to pose a series of ethical
dilemmas to which students are asked to respond. It has the ability to adjust the line of questioning depending on the student‟s
answer to the original set of questions.
“How is it legal or even remotely ethical for untrained teachers to be expected to use devices like these to assess the
psychological status of your child?” asks Charlotte Iserbyt, a former aide to President Ronald Reagan‟s Education Department
and now a blogger on education issues at The ABCs of Dumb Down.
Iserbyt calls the replacement of high-stakes testing with high-tech data-collecting a “bait and switch” tactic that many parents
won‟t pick up on.
As one YouTube instructional video cited by Iserbyt explains about the personified video games, “We know whenever you
click. We know how long you stood waiting to make a jump. We can take in vast amounts of data and if we want, dynamically
alter the experience [of the student] based on that data.”
The New York Times recently reported that MineCraft is highly addictive and can quickly become an obsession for many
students. Schools around the world are taking advantage. Schools in Stockholm, Sweden, for instance, made the game
mandatory for 13-year-old students to learn about sustainable city planning and environmental issues.
While these games might have some value if programmed to build and evaluate students‟ knowledge of math equations or
science principles, they could be dangerously invasive when used to gauge students‟ personalities, ethical responses, political
views and emotional makeup.
All of the above apps and games are marketed for use on students in general-instruction classrooms, not just students in
special-ed classes with known, serious behavioral problems.
Privacy advocates say technology meant to collect data on a student‟s academic knowledge is one thing, but they question
whether teachers should be acting like psychologists and collecting data on a student‟s “social skills” and personality traits?
Some critics are sounding the alarm that schools will be building a psychological dossier on their students through the use of
this technology, and they are starting to ask questions.
Who will have access to this data besides the teacher in the classroom who is collecting it? Where will the data ultimately be
stored and for how long?
Who ultimately owns a child‟s private data? The school, the school system, the state or the parents? And who has the right to
view it?
Will this data be made available to any third-party contractors outside the school, the school district or the state? President
Obama took executive action to weaken the FERPA (Family Education Rights and Protection Act) in 2011 giving third-party
contractors access to some student data, lending more reason for concern among parents.
And what rules will be set to make sure these new tools are transparent for parents who actually want to know what their
children are being taught or tested on?
Iserbyt poses a chilling question:
“If parents can‟t even get a hard copy of the current high stakes assessments that their children are taking now, how are they
EVER going to get evidence, much less be aware of, the assessments given to their children via computer games or teacher
smart phone apps based on a child‟s experiential or project-based work, or any of the other invisible assessment model coming
down the pike?”
So far, at least, the jury is out on all these questions.

THE FDLE POLITICAL WEAPON The accusations of using the FDLE as a political weapon against opponents of the Governor Scott administration may not be limited to the incident involving interim Orange County Clerk of Courts Colleen Reilly. It appears another case involving retaliation, document suppression, conspiracy and unlawful imprisonment of a Grand Jury Foreman Whistleblower may have occurred as local and state officials, including Governor Rick Scott, were accused of bribery for the implementation of Common Core just before Gov. Scott’s re-election in November.
Introduction Corruption in our state, county, and local governments goes very deep and wide. According
to the Department of Justice (see attached chart), Florida ranks highest in Number of Convicted Public Officials.
Additionally, according to a report card from State Integrity Investigation at http://www.stateintegrity.org/florida, Florida received an F for Ethics Enforcement Agencies, a D- for Judicial Accountability, and an overall grade of C- for Corruption Risk Report Card.
Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that our state government will put on a show when appearing to be concerned about cleaning up corruption in all branches of government. The 2010 Interim Report of the 19th Statewide Grand Jury shined a light on many issues which needed to be addressed. Instead of implementing straightforward action to clean up the criminality clearly identified by the report, the leadership of both the law enforcement community and the judiciary have successfully buried the statewide grand jury’s findings.
Clearly, outside observers can see a widespread culture of corruption throughout Florida in many of our government departments, agencies, and especially our courts, across the state.
Criminal Activity Suspected The People of Dixie County were very concerned when the Dixie County School Board
(DCSB) accepted about $1M from Race to the Top Federal funding scheme as arranged by the State to implement a new, unproven, controversial and undefined curriculum called Common Core, later renamed Florida Sunshine Standards. The People had many concerns at the time about the suitability of switching from a proven design to an untested and undefined curriculum. Their biggest concern, however, was that by accepting the $1M from the State, the DCSB was committing Dixie County taxpayers to an additional $5M incremental spending requirement once the Race To The Top funding expired.
As of result of these concerns, in July of 2014, the People of Dixie County asked their local Grand Jury to investigate these expensive decisions.
Per his responsibility, the Foreman of the Dixie County Grand Jury, Terry Trussell, once aware of these allegations, began the process of convening the Dixie County Grand Jury to look over evidence and hear testimony of witnesses as to whether or not criminal activity occurred.
Throughout the process, however, he was met with resistance from Clerk of Court Dana Johnson and State Attorney Jeffrey Siegmeister.
Grand Jury Foreman Whistleblower Comes Forward - Obstruction of Justice Reported
Details of the infringement upon the grand jury’s right to peaceably assemble and independently initiate investigations of possible criminal activity are detailed in a letter and Bill of Information by Grand Jury Foreman, Terry Trussell. As required under Florida’s Grand Jury Instructions, Trussell sent his report to Judge Munkittrick on August 4, 2014. When the Judge failed to respond to the report, Trussell filed with Dixie County Clerk of Court Dana Johnson in the public record, and gave a copy to Dixie County Sheriff, Dewey Hatcher.
The letter referenced violations by State Attorney Siegmeister of Florida Grand Jury Instructions as well as edicts stated in United States Supreme Court case U.S. vs. Williams (1992) that discusses the required independence of the Grand Jury.
The Whistleblower, Dixie County Grand Jury Foreman, Terry Trussell, listed a series of accusations exposing State Attorney Jeffrey Siegmeister’s egregious actions, including Obstruction of Justice, Jury Tampering, Contempt of Court and Deprivation of rights, among several other charges.
In conclusion of the 7-page document, the Grand Jury Foreman Whistleblower stated, “Therefore, as the Grand Jury Foreman, I, Terry G. Trussell, have no confidence in the Grand Jury Process under these rules and as corrupted by State Attorney, Jeffrey Siegmeister. I, Terry Trussell, therefore declare this Grand Jury in Dixie County, Florida, un-lawful, Null and Void ab initio. Nothing has been done by State Attorney Jeffrey Siegmeister which complies to the Grand Jury Process as is demanded by the 5th nor 7th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution nor the explanation of Justice Scalia in U.S. v. Williams.”
Oddly enough, this letter and Bill of Information exposing criminal activity has been buried by the Clerk’s office and is not visible by the public. Copies of the official letter stamped received by Dixie County Clerk of Court Dana Johnson on August 5, 2014, at 4:27pm is attached. (Dixie County Document #201415006137).
Conspiracy, Cover-up & Retaliation Once the letter and Bill of Information by the Whistleblower was filed, a series of communications must have taken place that involve conspiracy to cover up what was filed, and retaliation against the Grand Jury Foreman. To this date, it is not known how the Clerk of Court was instructed nor by whom, to hide these documents from public view. The public can still see the documents posted online but all pages are “Intentionally Left Blank”, according the website. In addition, the presiding Judge, Cynthia Munkittrick, was mysteriously replaced by Judge Parker without appropriate notification to the Grand Jury Foreman.

Page 3 of 12
As protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution and as the Dixie County Grand Jury lacked the public’s trust, the ‘People’s Grand Jury Under Common Law in Dixie County’ met on August 14, 2014 at the Dixie County court house to elect 25 jurors, in accordance with Common Law, hear testimony and look at evidence of criminal activity affecting Dixie County.
On the 15th of August, Foreman Trussell filed two True Bills of Presentment with Dixie County Clerk of Court, Dana Johnson. These documents were stamped received at 4:30pm, Documents #201415006245 & 6256.
These documents are also “Intentionally Left Blank” as they have been removed from public view.
The Fifth Amendment states that “No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime unless by a presentment or indictment of a grand jury.” An indictment is initiated by a state attorney or prosecutor while a presentment is derived by a grand jury’s own initiative, unobstructed by the institutional branches of government.
A True Bill of Presentment is a report, resulting from a grand jury investigation of an issue which lists informal recommendations for corrective actions, and has no weight of law. True Bills of Presentment can cover the complete range of government or non-government issues and include criminal and non-criminal activities by public officials and results when a grand jury decides the evidence is sufficient to decide probable cause does exist. See attached Manatee County Grand Jury Presentment from 1901.
True Bill of Presentment 1 - Charges State Attorney Siegmeister with Obstruction of Justice, Jury Tampering In a lengthy list of accusations and charges, the first True Bill of Presentment by ‘The People’s Grand Jury Under Common Law in Dixie County’ targets the actions taken by State Attorney Jeffrey Siegmeister as he obstructed the rightful independence of the Dixie County Grand Jury leading up to and including the meeting on August 1, 2014.
True Bill of Presentment 2 - Charges Local School Board, State Board of Education and Governors Crist and Scott with Bribery for Implementation of Common Core As justice was not served upon requesting the Dixie County Grand Jury look into criminal activity surrounding the acceptance of “federal” money in exchange for the implementation of the controversial common core standards and curriculum, the People of Dixie County assembled as ‘The People’s Grand Jury Under Common Law in Dixie County’ and petitioned their government for redress of grievances in the form of a second True Bill of Presentment. Terry Trussell, the Foreman of the Dixie County Grand Jury who exposed the criminal actions by State Attorney Jeffrey Siegmeister, was elected as interim foreman and volunteered to sign
Page 4 of 12
and file the paperwork issued by The People’s Grand Jury under Common Law of Dixie County as an effort to protect members of the assembly of People.
Enter Bailey’s FDLE - Election Season Cover-up - Intimidation & Retaliation
As the People of Lee County gathered by the hundreds to demand their school board stand up against state and federal encroachment in their children’s education, and as their vote was mysteriously reversed just a week later, the People of Dixie County were fighting the same battle. Once Governor Scott was mentioned in the True Bill of Presentment, however, suggesting Bribery for the Implementation of Common Core, the FDLE apparently got word and inserted themselves into the case.
FDLE is supposed to be a law enforcement agency whose mission is to investigate internal government corruption. Although they still may uncover internal corruption, it seems under Bailey's watch, they became attack dogs used to protect government officials against any charges of corruption. FDLE was somehow notified of alleged corruption with two True Bills of Presentment filed at the Dixie County Clerk of Courts as submitted by The People’s Grand Jury Under Common Law in Dixie County and instead of investigating the alleged criminal activity, FDLE launched a full blown attack against the courageous Grand Jury Foreman Whistleblower, Terry Trussell.
To this date, it is not known how the FDLE was notified of the local activity in Dixie County. Two FDLE agents met with “investigators” of ‘The People’s Grand Jury under Common Law
in Dixie County’ in two separate meetings. The agents showed zero interested in looking at the alleged criminal activity surrounding the obstruction of justice, jury tampering or bribery. Instead, they seemed more interested in investigating who was involved in making those accusations.
Since the activity during grand jury proceedings are to remain confidential to protect witnesses and members of the jury, Terry Trussell, the one who filed the paperwork on behalf of the People, quickly became the target.
None of the paperwork filed by Terry as the Foreman of the Dixie County Grand Jury, or the filings on behalf of ‘The People’s Grand Jury under Common Law in Dixie County’ has been acted upon or released to the public. The Grand Jury’s filings have been ignored by all local and state officials and buried from public view.
Retaliation Conspiracy Begins - Siegmeister Petition to Remove Trussell as Grand Jury Foreman, Granted
State Attorney Jeffrey A. Siegmeister, in an obvious retaliation against Grand Jury Foreman Whistleblower, Terry Trussell, petitioned Judge Parker to remove Terry from the Grand Jury.
The petition was granted by Judge Parker, Chief Judge Third Judicial Circuit Florida, on August 25, 2014.
Page 5 of 12
Further Retaliation - Grand Jury Foreman Whistleblower Arrested On September 2, 2014, Grand Jury Foreman Whistleblower, Terry Trussell, was arrested and taken into custody, charged with violating an obscure statue 843.055 - Criminal actions under color of law or through use of simulated legal process.
Conflict of Interest – Gov. Scott Appoints Judge Hankinson to Case in Dixie County On September 3, 2014, 24 hours after being incarcerated, Terry Trussell’s first hearing is with Judge Hankinson who admits to being appointed by Governor Rick Scott to the case. Hankinson is a Second Circuit judge, which does not include Dixie County. As defendant in the Grand Jury’s True Bill Presentment, Gov. Scott had a direct conflict of interest in initiating Trussell’s prosecution. Additionally, this move by Scott breached Florida Constitution Article 1, Section 5 (right to assemble); Article 1, Section 9 (due process); and Article 2, Section 3 (separation of powers). Anyone breaching a Constitutional provision is committing treason against the Constitution. Any person, once made aware of credible charges of treason, has an obligation to take appropriate corrective actions. No action after awareness is a felony called misprision of treason.
Gov. Scott Executive Order - State Attorney Removed from Case - Replaced with State Prosecutor Willie Meggs On September 4, 2015, still weeks away from his re-election bid, the full weight of the State of Florida via Governor Rick Scott zeroed in on Grand Jury Foreman Whistleblower Terry Trussell as the Governor signed an Executive Order removing State Attorney Siegmeister from the case and was replaced by experienced heavyweight Second Circuit State Prosecutor Willie Meggs, a long-time friend of Scott’s (at the time, now former) Chief Counsel, Peter Antonacci. In naming Meggs, Scott again breached Constitutional provisions.
Steamrolled - Grand Jury Foreman Whistleblower Appears in Court - Gets Arrested On the Spot for “Failure to Appear” - Released 21 Days Later
Page 6 of 12
On October 9, 2014, Grand Jury Foreman Whistleblower, Terry Trussell, was taken away in handcuffs arrested for “Failure to Appear” while at his arraignment. Upon being asked if Terry George Trussell was in the room by Judge Hankinson who met Mr. Trussell on September 3rd at his first hearing, Terry stood up and responded that he was there to speak on the matter. Judge Hankinson, in a bizarre move that left the courtroom attendees from all over the state in absolute shock, acted as if he did not know Terry and ordered him arrested for “Failure to Appear.” Sheriff deputies, in an act of sheepish capitulation, while knowing full-well who Terry was, refused to assist the judge in identifying the defendant, walked a mere five feet to where Mr. Trussell was standing and arrested him and took him away. More than 25 people witnessed this treason against our Constitution by a judge who has taken an oath to support and defend our Constitutions. This move by Hankinson breached many laws, the U.S. Constitution and Florida Constitutions, including but not limited to the People’s First Amendment Right to Assemble, Speak, and Petition their Government for Redress of Grievances. Terry then spent the next 21 days, including his 71st Birthday, in jail — minus one night in the hospital for injuries as a result of being drugged. Why?
Reporting a Crime is Now Considered Criminal Activity Since the True Bill of Presentment issued by The People’s Grand Jury Under Common Law in Dixie County regarding Common Core included Gov. Rick Scott as a target, and because Scott was in a tight reelection campaign, something had to be done to protect Siegmeister and Scott from the public scrutiny that would occur if the public became aware of these True Bills. Under Scott’s direction, FDLE under Gerald Bailey, three judges, and two State Attorneys, a county sheriff, numerous FDLE Agents, and a Clerk of Court, (at minimum) started an effort to execute a complete cover-up, trying to protect Scott from bad press during his important reelection effort. This began a serious criminal conspiracy to cover-up criminal acts by government officials. To implement the cover-up, they simply had to suppress the evidence and retaliate against the innocent Grand Jury Foreman.
Suppressing Evidence Once the True Bill Presentments were handed down by the People's Grand Jury with Terry Trussell’s signature on them, these documents became clear targets. First, they had to suppress all the evidence that had been properly placed into the public record. POOF!! The True Bills in the Dixie County Public records somehow disappeared. Removing documents from the public record is a felony. Who committed this felony? Who ordered this felony to be committed? Why would a True Bill of Presentment be so important that Scott would risk felonies to get it removed from the public records, launch a cover-up of criminal acts by government officials, and seek retribution against the innocent grand jury foreman? Scott was in a tough re-election
Page 7 of 12
campaign which was expected to be a close election. In order to obtain Jeb Bush's support, and especially gain access to Jeb’s donor network, Scott had to make a deal with Jeb to support the deployment of Common Core curriculum across the public school system Florida. So the True Bill Presentment, which alleged bribery of the Dixie County School Board, had to be hidden from public view because if it became public knowledge, it probably would have meant the defendants would have to stand trial, thereby hurting Scott's chances for re-election. In preparation for deploying Common Core, the state Dept. of Education held meetings to solicit public opinion feedback. In a meeting in Orlando, approximately 80 people from all over the state showed up and got a chance to speak. Only about 3 people spoke positively about Common Core and the vast majority spoke negatively. So Scott knew that there was strongly negative public sentiment, but he had to ignore it and continue forward with his support of deploying Common Core in order to maintain Jeb's support for his re-election campaign
Further Retaliation against Grand Jury Foreman Based upon Linton's defective affidavit, Hankinson signed a defective warrant for the arrest of the statutory Grand Jury Foreman Terry Trussell, who is a veteran and an honest citizen with NO criminal record (see bio attached). Like ALL members of the grand jury, unless he perjured himself or trampled on a witness's rights, Trussell has complete immunity according to Florida Supreme Court rules, and the all judges and State Attorneys know about this immunity. Trussell is now under false charges by Willie Meggs for 14 felony counts totaling 70 years in prison if convicted on all counts. All he did was his sworn duty as Foreman of the Dixie County Grand Jury, and the Foreman of the People's Grand Jury under Common Law in Dixie County. He had the courage to sign the True Bills produced by the People’s Grand Jury. He followed every law and statute that applied to him doing his job as foreman of the Grand Jury. In return, he has been targeted by a concerted effort of malicious prosecution to cover up the corruption that the People have found in their public servants.
Investigation Launched by statewide Unified People's Grand Jury Clearly in the Trussell case, the Reilly case, and who knows how many more cases, the corruption reaches into the Governor’s office, FDLE, and our Florida judicial system. Therefore, no state official can effectively investigate these issues because Scott is the highest ranking officer in the government of our State. This means no existing state attorney nor Inspector General, or any other officer can impartially investigate these issues. Instead they all have a conflict of interest and must therefore recuse themselves. There is only one independent grand jury which can and will investigate these issues, the statewide Unified People's Grand Jury in Florida. This is a Grand Jury that is completely compatible with US Supreme Court decisions as well as both the Florida and the US Constitutions while at the same time being completely independent of government manipulation.
Page 8 of 12
One reason why Florida is ranked so poorly is because the government has unconstitutionally taken over complete control of the grand jury system. State Attorneys select the jurors they want, only give them the evidence they want them to see, and tell the jurors they can only judge the facts, not the law. This is how overzealous prosecutors unconstitutionally and illegally convicts innocent people of victimless offenses, which by definition are not crimes. Our Founders designed our system so that juries are to be completely independent, acting as a sword and a shield for the People to keep our public officials centered under our Constitutions. [See US Supreme Court decision US v Williams (1992)]. No authority has ever been delegated to any branch of the Florida Government to impanel or control our grand jury. Even more clearly, there are no laws, statutes, or rules prohibiting the People from forming their own grand juries to investigate any public body, if for no other reason to assure there is no corruption. Instead, it has been a powerfully retained by the People. Both the First and Fifth Amendments to our US Constitution, the Supreme Law of our Land, protect the people's right to impanel and run their grand jury any time and place they want to. Article 1 Section 5 of the Florida Constitution clearly states “The people shall have the right peaceably to assemble to instruct their representatives, and to petition for redress of grievances."
