Argue and Fight against making “Bullying” a Crime—talk about a new “Wiley Ulysses’” Trojan Horse into our Privacy, our Children’s Privacy, and all of our First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights….

I propose to you: Bullying could never be made a crime without destroying the last remnants of the rights to privacy, the protections for Freedom of Expression and Assembly under the First Amendment, and the right of the people to be free from unlawful searches and seizure under the Fourth Amendment.

There’s a petition circulating IN CANADA to make school-bullying a CRIME—this is EXACTLY what I expected the petitions circulated by young good-looking, redshirted SPLC signature collectors earlier this year (2012) would ultimately lead to—and it’s a disaster, or it would be!   I wish I thought this sort of thing could never happen south of the 49th Parallel—but I see the writing on the wall—for all of us: mene meme tekel upharsin…. http://www.causes.com/causes/797224-stop-bullying-canada-let-s-be-the-change-to-inspire-the-world/actions/1692551?recruiter_id=55421141&utm_campaign=invite&utm_medium=wall&utm_source=fb

Can you imagine what the search warrants would look like to investigate allegations sufficient to raise “probable cause” that the crime of bullying was encouraged or tolerated in a school-age child’s parents’ home?  What are people thinking when they endorse such invasions of the sanctity of our private life?  As if there were not enough unconstitutional excuses based on “terrorism” and the “war on drugs” to breach the Fourth Amendment right of the people to be secure in their persons, homes, and personal effects.  If you make “bullying” a crime, then the schools will be constantly swearing out search warrants for parents homes, parents will lose their parental rights because they allowed their children to “bully” someone at school—or GOD FORBID, that parents even ENCOURAGED their children to think that some ways of behaving are better than others….. GOD FORBID that a parent would inculcate ANY values into his or her child that were not pre-screened and pre-approved by a judge or “diversity counselor” or “sensitivity counselor”—such things exist, and they must be stopped.

“Bullying” is a form of immature expressive activity which can be cruel or injurious—but value-judgments are necessary to civilized society and are bound to hurt SOMEBODY.  Speech which doesn’t hurt anyone is unlikely to be powerful.  Advocating the truth of the Bible or of the Constitution will become categorized as Bullying—MARK MY WORDS!

Don’t you see that to make “bullying” and/or “cyber-bullying” a crime would be to open our children and their conduct growing up to even more intrusive state and federal scrutiny and control over their every day lives than they already are made to suffer? Every time I see these red-shirted agents of the Southern Poverty Law Center passing out anti-bullying material I go up to them and ask them how you can define bullying as anything other than a crime of expression, a crime totally dependent on ONE person’s subjective judgment of the meaning and effect of ANOTHER person’s speech. The very word itself “bullying” suggests an overbroad and extremely vague concept. Defining “Bullying” as a crime would be PERFECT for the Brave New World and New World Order types who want the STATE to substitute GOVERNMENTAL judgment for individual values and opinions. Defining “Bullying” as a crime would lead to daily governmental surveillance of our children’s behavior—and, of course, “OUR” conduct and values as well for having taught our children to be bullies. GOD PROTECT US ALL from such an insane, statist program as to make bullying a crime—any such definition of “bullying” as a crime would be simultaneously overbroad and void for vagueness.

I ask you all, if you consider yourself a supporter of the First Amendment or of Constitutional rights at all, to reflect whether you support for the United States Constitution is really consistent with your endorsement of making “bullying” a crime—I personally cannot think of anything worse in the world that could happen to our children or our schools. It would be another GIANT step towards to TOTAL ABOLITION OF FREEDOM and of Parental control over the education and inculcation of values into their children.

Go Suck a Lemon, Orly: Or whoever it is that keeps writing these Retarded Attacks on me in the Ripoff Reports!

(see Saturday afternoon 5:55 PM update below—this may go on for a while–)

I have no idea anymore what the real purpose of the Ripoff Report is—it obviously has nothing to do with Consumer Protection—I wonder whether Orly and Yosi Taitz have used their ill-gotten wealth and indirectly taken control or is Ripoff Report just too good to pass up for the purpose of content-free anonymous slander?  The latest appeared today at 12:13 High Noon…. when Orly or one of her flying monkeys just wrote on the Ripoff Report:

SUBMITTED: Saturday, October 13, 2012

AN INDICTMENT IS NOT A CONVICTION and I have never been convicted of FORGERY or BANK FRAUD or anything like that.Yes you took a plea rather than face your crimes!The reason why Marcelina Alvarado’s affidavit was in perfect English is that most people DO NOT write there own affidavits they tell there story and a lawyer or legal assistant writes it and they sign it. Even you where not this incompetent as a lawyer, rather than be a man and admit your crimes this is a pathetic attempt to manufacture a “conspiracy” against you.You get no mercy Mr Lincoln, everyone will know of your scams, you are merciless with your victims, you lie and steal until there is nothing left, or you have been exposed, then you file suite or lean their house! You are a disgusting human being inside and out!

(Whoever you are that’s writing all this crap: I love you, I forgive you, but I neither love nor forgive your spelling, grammar, and I think you’re pretty disgusting impersonation of a human being inside and out too—and I think you should be made to stay in time-out in the closet while all of the rest of the class has recess on the playground, OK?  TEACHER!!!!  Will you do what you can, Mrs. Cadwalader?  THIS PERSON’S WHO’S WRITING ALL THESE THINGS ABOUT ME IS A REALLY NASTY BULLY, CAN YOU CALL THE SPLC PLEASE TO PROTECT ME???????)

But to ORLY TAITZ, or whoever this is, I replied within two hours:

(1)  Even if it’s true that most people don’t write their own affidavits or declarations, which I’m not at all sure about, especially in initial reports to the police, it’s true that, to be real, a complaint has to be both signed and understood by the person who wrote it—Marcelina’s complaint against me, as described above, was NEVER signed nor any indication that she gave a statement in Spanish.

And of course, it was NOT Marcelina’s LAWYER or LEGAL assistant who prepared Marcelina’s complaint against her—it was Lieutenant REYES of the Lago Vista Police Department who summoned MY HOUSEKEEPER to the Police Station—and Marcelina NEVER signed that statement.  All the members of the Western District of Texas Admissions Committee who supposedly heard her speak said to me and my lawyer she was “a very credible witness” but since my lawyer and I never got a chance to see how credible (or otherwise) she might have been.  This is the way tyrants have brought false charges against people since the beginning of time, but it was outlawed in the English system after the unjust execution of Sir Walter Raleigh under King James I in

(2)  The Admissions Committee of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas never allowed me (or my attorneys John F. Campbell and Mark Clemens) even to SEE Marcelina Alvarado testify, or provide any actual transcript of her “testimony, “much less allow me the right to cross-examine her—NO—they kept Marcelina and her husband Timoteo in separate rooms to make absolutely sure that they didn’t say anything on the record—except for the Judge-appointed committee’s summary of what they claimed she said.

(3)  Once I saw her from a distance going into one of the admissions committee hearings and Marcelina seemed to look sadly at me and mouth the words “perdoname Mr. Lincoln” (forgive me, Mr. Lincoln).

(4)  The one time anyone of them ever appeared in Court, MUCH later, Marcelina said nothing and Timoteo said only that he thought Marcelina’s story was true—but he had no personal knowlege of anything.

(5)  the Plea I took on the advice of Edwin G. (“Gerry”) Morris—a hero of the Waco Branch Davidian Defense among many others—was for a “strict liability” offense, and Gerry’s advice, and my wife Elena’s advice, was that they wanted me out of the Bar, and so long as I resigned and accepted the stain of a felony, nothing else would happen to me.

More or less this was true.  For all the secret “audiencias” and hearings that took place about Marcelina Alvarado, I didn’t plead guilty to ANYTHING even remotely relating to her allegations (four counts in the December 7 1999 indictment) about counterfeiting and bank fraud—any of which would have had me locked up for years—and Gerry assured me that if I had gone to trial on any of those counts, he would have obtained a Rule 29 Judgment of Acquittal—before anything would have gone to the jury.

But, at least as the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals (of which Texas is a part) had then construed 42 USC 408(a)(7)(B) at that time, the Social Security count had no defense (required not even a scintilla of proof of intent or motive or gain) and Gerry said, and I remember his words I think pretty exactly, “they will do everything they can to poison the jury about you, and so, even if only that one count goes to the jury, even without the original document (which had been lost at Wells Fargo—ONLY fairly bad copies existed)—they COULD find you guilty and give you the maximum penalty on that one count”.

So I am not sure whether it is even right to say I plead guilty to a “crime”—because I neither admitted to nor was any “mens rea” proved.  So this is a warning, my friends and fellow Americans: believe it or not, misstating your social security number unintentionally and/or FOR NO REASON AT ALL is still a Felony in the US.  They do not have to proof that you either gained anything to which you were not entitled nor AVOIDED any debt you owed because ALL THE OTHER INFORMATION WAS COMPLETELY ACCURATE!).

So the simple truth is: I do not need Mercy—the people of the United States need the “Mercy” of genuine legal reform—by the abolition of judicial immunity, prosecutorial immunity, and secret trials and secret agreements fixed without juries or public oversight or insight of any kind.

The illegitimate-state-sponsored monopolies created by the licensure of attorneys and the resultant Judge-Appointed and Approved State Bar Associations create something like absolute power for judges and those attorneys who collaborate closely with them—but I never joined that club and they hated me.  In this modern context of monopoly, the Judges are Corrupt, the Prosecutors are Corrupt—they saw my civil rights litigation and my refusal to join any of the GOOD OLD BOYS clubs in Austin and Central Texas law as a totally viable threat to the status quo.

They saw me as a person who would upset the whole system by arguing against Police Departments, Qualified Immunity, and for the extension of the Civil Rights Laws to all people, even to Middle Class White People for whom those laws were clearly NOT designed.

But the irony is that back in 1997, I thought and considered NOTHING except that I was doing the right thing—I never imagined that filing suit against Police Brutality and abuse in my little soft-living Lakeside Community of Lago Vista, surrounded by golf courses, Lake Travis, and the Balcones National Wildlife Refuge would cause such a ruckus in the news or such a severe rupture in my life.

But ever since then, I have dedicated my life to reform—that was the real result of my indictment—they took a very socially mild conformist conservative and turned him into a radical agains the system—they forced me to see a lot of things I never dreamt I would see, that I never wanted to see, but that, now having seen them, I can never again ignore.

So in my life after my social and professional death at the hands of Judges Nowlin and Sparks, these are my mottos: “IN GOD I TRUST,” “SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS” and “DEO VINDICE.”

What exactly are YOUR mottos, Orly, or whoever keeps writing these stupid little Ripoff Reports?  I suppose EVERYONE KNOWS that former indictments cannot be used in civil cases to impeach a witness after ten years—but on the Ripoff Reports I guess the limit is a hundred or more?

AND AT 2:41 Orly (or whoever) “reported again” and I had to reply (again)—but now this is getting beyond stupid:

SUBMITTED: Saturday, October 13, 2012

How about the hundreds of thousands in sanctions you racked up?Lincoln was kind enough to post a picture of his scam partner Peyton Freiman, when Peyton shows up he will need 2 things a bath and your money! If you put your money in a pile and burn it you will get light and some warmth with is more than you will get from Lincoln and Freiman! Once the money stops get ready to be sued!!

My reply was:

Yes, I suppose I was overly ambitious to try and politically naive to think I might succeed in my attempt to have the Texas Family Code declared unconstitutional in both State and Federal Courts, and to abolish Judicial Immunity on grounds that it is totally unconstitutional, because it is.  I regard the sanctions issued against me by Texas District Judge James F. Clawson in the 395th Judicial District of Williamson County, when I was represented by Attorneys Francis Wayne Williams-Montenegro and Valorie Wells Davenport, and by U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith of Branch Davidian infamy in Waco, to be the brightest of the red badges of courage I wear……

For the Record, Judge Walter S. Smith imposed $150,000.00 on me based on ridiculous hearsay allegations in a case wherein I was never a party or a witness and to hearings in which I was never even invited…..all because I had supported a friend, Daniel Louis Simon, of Liberty Hill, Texas….

PS: This is the second time you (Orly, Yosi—who never met Peyton) or whoever, you have complained about Peyton needing a bath.  You must be writing about a different Peyton from the one I know.  But WHOEVER you are, please SHUT UP and crawl into a hole and just disappear from the internet—you are now repeating yourself and this is really getting BORING!

Fear of Speech, Fear of Life = Loss of Freedom, Loss of Life: SPLC and Federal Government are the “Uber-Bullies” Who Now Want to Outlaw Bullying…. I FOR ONE SAY—ALL FREE PEOPLE SHOULD STAND UP FOR THE RIGHTS OF NON-GOVERNMENTAL BULLIES, AND OTHER PEOPLE WITH BAD MANNERS—especially individual children who need to learn through play, even rough play, trial, and error….

Who could possibly argue against a Federal government project “to develop a national strategy aimed at ensuring a safe, healthy learning environment for students?”  Well, regular readers of this blog know who can: I can, I do, I will.  Especially when this policy involves the assertion that the Federal government sets national norms of behavior regarding what is or is not “bullying.”  Reality check and translation here: “a national strategy aimed at ensuring a safe, healthy learning environment” means that the Federal Government Departments of Education and Health & Social Services are going to start monitoring what your children (or probably you, if you’re an adult student) say to everyone else, how they say it, what they do by way of non-verbal communication, and then they (the Federal Departments of Education and  Health & Social Services, will decide whether your children’s speech, behavior, and demeanor creates a “safe environment” from the standpoint of those who are most politically and socially persnickety, politically correct, sensitive, and snobbish—glass cats with a chip on their shoulder will RULE THE WORLD because every chip on the shoulder knocked off will be an act of bullying.

I am not sure how they want to define “bullying” but I know what it basically means: “somebody pretends he’s better and smarter, better looking, or stronger, than you are and tries to get you to accept and acknowledge his superiority.”  I suppose all sports are really just matters of bullying, aren’t they?  All contests, especially beauty contests, result in and from bullying?  Even a spelling bee is really a kind of bullying, when you come right down to it…. “Bullying” like “Terrorism” means whatever you want it to mean…. kind of like “the unauthorized practice of law”—which basically covers every kind of political argument, every discussion of what the law could or should be, and of course every political argument inevitably also involves “bullying” to a greater or lesser degree…..

Humans are a strange and weak bunch of creatures.   I for one hate to yell and hate raising my voice, but I hate it even more when people attack me and cause me to yell back.  But I learned at an early age, from one of the quietest men I ever knew, specifically, my grandfather, that if you can’t yell back at people who yell at you, you will never know peace or quiet, because you will live in constant fear.

All this year I have been watching on Third-Street in Santa Monica and elsewhere in Los Angeles as bright red  Izod shirted, smiling, clean cut boys and girls, 99% of them white and 100% under the age of 30, solicited signatures for the SPLC’s anti-bullying campaign.  ”Bullying” is such a vague concept.  It was obnoxious, especially when I know what hopeless bullies the SPLC are everywhere, scorning everyone who doesn’t conform with their vision of political correctness, but when I asked them about freedom of speech and due process/void for vagueness prosecution they assured me, as if it were well-scripted, that they were only involved in advocating education and awareness of the emotional harm that bullying can do.  Well, now, the Obama administration (totally predictably) has come out in favor of using the power of the Federal Government to suppress bullying.  This means MORE Federal regulation of school behavior, MORE Federal scrutiny of private family life, and in general, LESS freedom to assuage the fears and trepidations of people, especially children.  Now there will be bureaucracies to decide what “bullying” is and who is a “bully”.  But of course the government must protect who either haven’t learned to ridicule in retaliation or yell back, can’t learn to ridicule in retaliation or yell back, or just people whom the government want to protects from ever having to do anything so arduous as to defend their own rights—from private individuals.  And of course, what this level of protection does is, it lessens the individual’s autonomy and utterly prohibits the notion of individual responsibility for freedom or self-development.   NONE OF US WHOM THE GOVERNMENT PROTECTS FROM BULLYING WILL EVER BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO RESIST GOVERNMENTAL BULLIES.

I cry once again for the demise of “the land of the free and the home of the brave”—if we cannot teach our children the good manners not to be bullies themselves and the strength to fight back when other children try to bully them, then we must consign ourselves to being the most miserable of slaves…. the most miserable of perpetually handicapped children.

When Bullying is outlawed—all the bullies will get GOVERNMENT JOBS—especially in the police who regulate and restrict and PUNISH “bullying”—I cry for my beloved country and its dismal disgrace:

Anti-bullying ad campaign targets parents

Associated PressBy JOSH LEDERMAN | Associated Press – Mon, Aug 6, 2012

WASHINGTON (AP) — Parents are urged to teach their kids to speak up if they witness school bullying in new ads that target an issue that top Obama administration officials vow to make a national priority.

A long-term campaign featuring television, print and web ads was unveiled Monday and will start running in October. The campaign is a joint effort by the Ad Council, a nonprofit that distributes public service announcements, and the Free to Be Foundation, a group that includes entertainersMarlo Thomas, Alan Alda and Mel Brooks.

In one television ad, two girls are seen bullying a schoolmate, mocking her appearance and telling her that nobody likes her. A fourth girl looks on but doesn’t intervene.

“Every day, kids witness bullying,” says a narrator. “They want to help, but don’t know how. Teach your kids how to be more than a bystander.”

Online and print ads will warn parents that their kids regularly encounter negative messages such as “you’re worthless” and “everybody hates you.”

The ads were unveiled Monday at an annual anti-bullying summit hosted by the Department of Education in Washington, where lawmakers, educators and government officials convened to develop a national strategy aimed at ensuring a safe, healthy learning environment for students. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius addressed the summit Monday, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan will deliver a keynote speech on Tuesday.

Once considered an unpleasant but inescapable part of adolescence, bullying has been thrust into the national conversation by a string of high-profile suicides by students who were later revealed to have been bullied.

Of particular concern to education advocates is bullying directed against students perceived to be gay or lesbian — such as Tyler Clementi, the 18-year-old who killed himself in 2010 after allegedly being bullied online by his college roommate, who was convicted of invasion of privacy and other charges for using a webcam to film Clementi and another man kissing.

Sebelius told the summit that suicides by teenagers and children had served as a national wake-up call.

“Bullying is not just a harmless rite of passage, or an inevitable part of growing up,” Sebelius said. “It’s a systematic situation that threatens the health and well-being of our young people. It’s destructive to our communities and devastating to our future.”

Sebelius said school districts and states are aggressively working to quell school bullying, noting that 36 state anti-bullying laws were enacted in 2009 and 2010. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has added bullying to its regular survey of risk behavior in schools.

She added that cyberbullying has become a top concern as students increasingly communicate through social media, text messages and the Internet.

“We are all responsible for our children’s safety,” Sebelius said. “And no one can afford to be a bystander.”
