Foreword, by Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin


Cochran Firm Fraud, by Mary Neal
Foreword by Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin
Human Rights Activist

This is a dangerous time in history, a time when the U.S. Government is being transformed to an outright corporate fascist regime, even though it has a long history of racial and class oppression of peoples of color and repression of those on the bottom. In today's America, the corporate elite are no longer content with having career political representatives control the government in a political democracy but want corporations to rule in a corporate democracy until there is no government, just corporations.

Hand-in-glove with the rise of a corporate autocracy is the absolute reign of terror by local and national police forces and the racist crimes of white vigilantes is the sellout by civil rights legal groups to prevent the use of the legal system at all by the poor and oppressed racial groups, and when it is used, to ensure that their lawsuits do a minimal amount of damage. There may have been a time when a crusading attorney or law firm, working with civil rights or Black radical movements, would have been willing to raise the claims of those on the bottom or fight injustice in the legal system to seek some form of justice -- and even become a "legal radical." That is no longer the case.

Most of the civil rights firms have gone entrepreneurial and political, and only raise such cases when recovery is assured. It is in their interest not to bring a case at all, and through a variety of methods, prevent plaintiffs from being able to appear in court. This legal sabotage is designed to protect the government and those powerful entities such as corporations with what used to be called a "gentlemen's agreement" but is now known as doing what is in their class interests.

Looked at in this light, the franchising of the law firm of the late civil rights attorney Johnnie Cochran and subversion of his legal mission on behalf of the Black community and the poor is a matter of government and corporate subversion. It is a counter-insurgency to prevent the use of the legal system for radical social change. This is hand-in-glove with the federal government's sparing use of criminal and civil rights penalties against law enforcement agencies that commit murder or engage in egregious civil rights violations, except for instances where there has been a mass community based rebellion ("race riot") or massive publicity forcing the hand of federal Department of Justice officials.

Because of all this, thousands of people were killed by police, jail guards, and other law enforcement officials. These cases are rarely redressed in court with federal criminal prosecutions or civil lawsuits by the U.S. Attorney General's Civil Rights Division. It is as much a scam as the Cochran Law Firm not fighting on behalf of its clients who have had loved ones brutalized or murdered. So, it is becoming more and more obvious that there are no remedies under American law for people who have lost loved ones to police violence in a place like Memphis, Tennessee. Remedy will have to come from protest movements at the grassroots level, but also from pressuring institutions outside of the USA, like an international boycott and the United Nations Human Rights Council's petition system.

The author of this book’s brother was murdered in the Shelby County Jail in Tennessee in 2003. The law firm she trusted for justice sabotaged the wrongful death and negligence cases. She has been spied on and harassed by police agencies, was radicalized and became a blogger and activist. She has seen firsthand the treachery of the legal system in this post-civil rights period. Like many people, she may have had abundant faith in the system in the beginning, but the corruption and injustice of the system has proved otherwise to her. Reading this book will be an eyeopening experience for many people, especially those who have gone through life with blinders on, who think that if you do not commit a crime you cannot be victimized by the government or its police. They simply do not understand the true nature of the system.

Mary Neal's unending quest for justice in her brother's murder in the jail in Memphis as well as her fight against racism, judicial corruption, and political treachery have much to be admired, although her suffering has much to be pitied. But it is not your pity she seeks; she seeks to educate and inspire you to take action against the injustices she describes in this book. She wants to enlist you as a partner in her campaign for justice and a soldier in her war against police repression.

Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin was a member of the original Black Panther Party. He is a revolutionary human rights advocate and a visionary. Ervin is an author and a teacher. He and other Black Panther Party members understood that America is at war with its citizens, particularly Blacks. I became a prisoner of that war after protesting the government's secret arrest and murder of my handicapped brother. Larry Neal died in this race and class war that most people who are Black, poor or handicapped may not know is being waged against us. 

Informing the masses about America's race and class war and exposing collusion against the People by government, the media, and Big Business are my purposes for writing "The Cochran Firm Fraud." Readers will finally realize there is a war being fought against working class and indigent Americans, particularly people of color, as they read about my attempts to obtain justice regarding Larry's murder as well as my endeavors to elevate mentally ill Americans of all races to a point where their right to life and peaceful existence will be on a par with dogs. 

The system is decidedly against giving "justice for all" and is offended by our human rights demands. We must resist evil and fight oppression just as we were taught by persons whose messages were at one time considered "too radical." Otherwise, we will find ourselves enslaved in a system so harsh that even the thought of freedom will be punished. Great care is given to slow the spread of this information through hackers whose salaries may be paid by taxpayers.

"The reason the government keeps old Black Panthers in prison is not because they fear they will engage in violence, and neither is it just to punish them; but rather, they fear their effects upon the youth who are seeking leadership and will fight." ~ Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin

"The Cochran Firm Fraud" is not merely an expose' about a treacherous, racist law firm that defrauds Blacks coast-to-coast by misusing Johnnie Cochran's name. The book exposes America's racist, mercenary system that The Cochran Firm serves - a system that even ignores Black legal consumers' right to know that on May 12, 2015, the United States District Court, Central District of California, ruled that The Cochran Firm has "unclean hands" and does not meet the criterion to be called "a law firm." That federal court order is not broadcast to the public, or the plot against Blacks would fail. Because of secrecy, unsuspecting survivors of police murder victim Sam DuBose rely on Michael White, who works with the law firm that is now a court-declared fraud. 

CoIntelPro did not really end after the Church Committee hearings in the 1970's; it merely changed names but has the same mandate to maintain the status quo (elite white supremacy) and keep wealth out of Black hands.
