MaryLovesJustice Publishes Three Books: New Year's Resolution

New Year's Resolution - Publish my three books. All three are described here. The first and last book in this article are ready for the press. "The Cochran Firm Fraud" chronicles Mary "Loves Justice" Neal's 10-year justice quest regarding the secret arrest and unrequited murder of her mentally, physically disabled brother, Larry Neal. The fraud was not an act by a single law firm, but it includes many other parties who forsook justice and joined in the Neal family's denial of due process of law, terrorism, and persecution for asking, "What Happened to Larry Neal?" Website http://WrongfulDeathofLarryNeal.com/main.html

A middle age Georgia woman is plunged into intrigue when her brother - a harmless schizophrenic black man - is secretly arrested in Memphis Shelby County Jail for 18 days and murdered there under circumstances that neither the jail nor the United States Department of Justice will reveal . . . Writing as "duo," then as "MaryLovesJustice," she set out to resolve her brother's murder mystery while also helping countless other people in America who are also treated unjustly. She founded "Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill" to help decriminalize mental illness and stop police aggression against sick people in the USA. Her advocacy is viciously attacked by cyberstalkers, and people follow her in-person wherever she goes. On one occasion when she was followed by four vehicles led by a federal government vehicle, she called 911 and police did not respond. That is when she began to realize how deep the rabbit hole goes . . . Years later, she learned about organ thefts from African Americans and companies that sell body parts . . . [The book will include an access code for photographs, court documents and police reports, and to play cyberstalking videos that were filmed as I worked online with stalkers (maybe NSA) editing my work as I typed.]




My second book, "Extreme Punishments: DP and SHU," will include interviews with inmates and former inmates who were subjected to death row and solitary confinement, and their relatives or survivors. Dr. Jean Kennedy will co-author the book. She is an organizational psychologist who will offer a psychological analysis of the effects extreme punishments have or had on victims and their families as well as prison personnel and society as a whole. Listen to some interviews with impacted persons on my "Human Rights for Prisoners March" broadcasts on Blogtalkradio at 




My third book is justice poetry, called "21st Century Slave Songs, by Mary Neal." Please Google the title. Some of the poetry is already available online, including America's most censored poem, "Dog Justice."


RED is the color theme for all three books because the People actually have no choice but to wake up. The blue pill offered in the Matrix is actually a time-release capsule filled with hundreds of red gelcaps for people who cannot face waking up all at once.


Red gelcaps inside the blue capsule: Time-released truth
for cowards.


"The Cochran Firm Fraud" and "21st Century Slave Songs" (books 1 and 3 above) will be published shortly, and I will let you know how to purchase them. Part of the purchase price will help finance advocacy to decriminalize mental illness in the United States and stop police violence and executions of our most vulnerable citizens. The second book, "Extreme Punishments: SHU and DP" will be published before Independence Day 2014. Inquiries from agents and publishers are welcome.

I hope you will make it your 2014 New Year's resolution to help give ASSISTANCE TO THE INCARCERATED MENTALLY ILL.

Justice Denied, a 21st Century Slave Song




JUSTICE DENIED, a 21st Century Slave Song
by Mary Neal (all rights reserved)

One day Larry went missing
We looked for him high and low
For 18 days while he died in jail
“Have you got him?” The Jail said “NO!”

On August 1, police came
A dreaded knock on the door
“We have Larry’s body. He died in jail
Sorry. We won’t tell you more.”

“Well, tell it to our lawyers!
The Johnnie Cochran Firm!
Lynching is illegal!
You might get prison terms!”

“Over that sick coon? We doubt it!
But give it your best shot
We told him to stop singing loud; move on
But he would not!”

Mama cried silently as she signed her name
On the Cochran Firm’s contract
“Don’t let them kill other sick sons
Nothing can bring mine back.”

Lawyers gave us their assurance
And lots of tissues, too
Saying, “Dry your eyes, old Mama
We’ll get justice for you.”

But The Cochran Firm tricked us
Their promises were only lies
They held Larry’s case inactive
And never asked how he died

The letters David McLaughlin sent
Were false, every one!
The Cochran Firm worked for the jail
Nothing was being done

Too late to hire other attorneys
When we discovered the fraud
Larry’s case file was empty
How could they do this? Oh, Lord!

“We’ll sue you for defrauding us
You can’t treat clients like this
Larry Neal was a person
The life he had was his!

We’ll tell the Bar about your fraud
The jury will make you pay
You deserve to lose your license
New clients won’t come your way!”

“Over that sick coon? We doubt it
But give it your best shot!
Police told him, ‘Stop singing loud; move on!’
But he would not!”

Tennessee Bar said, “No biggie”
Georgia Bar ignored our complaint
Judge Shoob said, “What Cochran Firm?
There is none in this state”

“But judge, look out your window
The Cochran Firm’s right there!
On TV every few minutes
Your Honor, please be fair!”

“Get out of this courtroom!
Johnnie Cochran’s dead
We’ve got his firm and got his name
Now don’t you make us mad!”

“We’ll take you back to court again
You have a poor defense!
Your office is just blocks away
You can’t say you don’t exist!”

“We said it; judge signed it
Now get out of our face
Plead for justice all you want
You are the wrong damn race!”

“Look Media - A court order!
No Cochran Firm in Georgia!
Please tell the people to watch out
I’ll send some copies to ya!”

“Don’t bother; not interested.
Their clients are mostly blacks
Who cares if lawyers trick those folks?
It’s time you learn the facts!”

“But Larry was a human being!
He had a right to live!
The Cochran Firm worked for the jail
His death’s a secret still

We’ll write letters to Congress
And report you on the Web!
Jails and lawyers are not allowed
To conspire to hide the dead!

Georgia courts can’t protect you!
Nor the media or BBB!
We’ll tell the public what you did
And civil rights groups – you’ll see!

We’ll sue in federal court for your fraud
The jury will make you pay!
You deserve to lose your license
New clients won’t come your way!”

“Over that sick coon? We doubt it
But give it your best shot!
Police told him, ‘Stop singing loud;
move on!’ But he would not!”

“Judge look at this fraud; listen to lies
They told right in this court!
They helped the jail hide Larry’s death
While under contract with us!”

“We disclaim our Georgia office
Our Memphis office, too
Dismiss this case right now, Judge Batten
We all depend on you.

Wherever Larry’s family sues us
We claim we don’t exist
Can’t let this case ever go to jury
Sick black folks won’t be missed

Judge, don’t honor their subpoena
To Shelby County Jail
Can’t let this family ever know
What happened to Larry Neal!

This family is ridiculous
To think federal court would care
that lawyers lie to evade justice
It’s an immaterial affair!”

“The Cochran Firm is right!”
Judge Batten did agree
“Case dismissed! Immaterial!
Don’t come here bothering me!”

“But Judge, they tricked us!
Helped police hide Larry’s death
He had a right to live his life
Regardless of his health!

Thank God! Here comes CHANGE!
We’ll tell Mr. Holder
He’ll investigate Larry’s murder
This cover-up is over!

Mr. Holder, they killed him
Under secret arrest in jail
Thank God, you’re here now
And justice cannot fail!”

“Were you waiting for me? Don’t be absurd!
Johnnie Cochran is Dead
We’ve got his firm and got his name
Now don’t you make us mad!

You don’t want to make us mad!”

GOOD ENUFF, by Mary Neal

(Poem w/ ten (10) stanzas followed by 15 paragraphs, 13 links, 1 video "Prison Labor Profits," four photographs, and a signature block. MaryLovesJustice blog used to open links in a new window, but cyberstalkers are busy. Please read all before using links, or use your back arrow to return to the blog.)
GOOD ENUFF
I work for the U.S. Government
Worked five years for the state
Now I make military uniforms
Sho miss my good friend, Jake

His idea sounded real fine to me
Worker strike for human rights
Most of us agreed to stay in our cells
Got real cold in there at night

They turned off the heat ya know
And no food came at all
Guards said “Freeze Nigga or go to work!
Oughta hang you by yo balls”

But all of us stuck together
Thousands of black men, Latinos and whites
Put aside all our rivalry
Gonna make ‘em treat us right

We expected opposition
But nothin’ like what went down
Guards went crazy beatin’ on folks
And Jake, he can’t be found

I tried to get on with the government
Back before I started gettin’ high
They said there was a hiring freeze
And now I sho see why

I applied with the State, too
But didn’t nothin’ came of that
I guess I just wasn’t good enuff
‘Til they caught me with that crack

Finally got me a government job
Problem is, I don’t get no pay
A big company got my first five years
After laying off a thousand in one day

Our labor strike changed nothin’ ‘round here
Still can’t afford phone calls
Now they expect plenty mo black workers
Heard they outlawing menthol

We had high hopes for the labor strike
But things didn’t turn out great
All day I work ‘til my back is sore
All night I worry ‘bout Jake

Americans signed a zillion petitions and marched in inclement weather to protest abuses at Guantanamo and Gitmo, but there is an eerie silence among civil and human rights organizations and some activists about prisoner abuse that occurred during the largest prison rebellion in United States history that occurred from December 9-15 in Georgia.  I live in Georgia; yet, I only heard the nonviolent prison labor rebellion mentioned on one televised newscast, which was aired long after the uprising in connection with a brutalized prisoner.  My own efforts to publish news about the labor strike and 37 missing inmates are censored.  Prison profiteering has spread through America like an airborne disease, and many average citizens have stock in the growing 21st century slave trade.  Questions:  Is the First Amendment still viable, or has it been reduced to an arbitrary privilege that elitists grant or withhold depending on whether citizens say "yessa, boss" in deferential tones as suits the "slave class" in America?  How far along are we in the End Game foretold in Revelation?


On April 4, 2011, the 43rd anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s death, I met with a thousand people who demonstrated for workers' rights.  Members of various unions and other workers and supporters marched from the King Center to the Georgia Capital and held a rally.  The demonstration honored Rev. King's legacy of uniting for nonviolent social change.  He was not like many pastors who are satisfied to merely teach about the great human rights advocate, Jesus Christ, and courageous exploits by His disciples.  Rev. King obeyed James 1:22 - "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." 


Rev. King would not ignore the fact that in Georgia, 37 prisoners are missing after peacefully protesting human rights abuses as unpaid slave laborers in December 2010.  Thousands of inmates refused to work from December 9 - 15 on jobs that were removed from the public sector in order for the government and Fortune 500 companies to avoid unions, minimum wage and worker safety laws.  The prisoners hoped to win a more humane incarceration; instead some were brutalized, placed in solitary, and 37 are still missing.  Over one million prisoners across the country work jobs that most Americans believe were outsourced overseas. The prison industrial complex is one of the most thriving businesses in the nation, and growth is planned by prison owners and investors moonlighting as elected officials. As more able-bodied people are imprisoned, increasing numbers of free people lose jobs.  Proposed laws to incarcerate more Americans and immigrants for nonviolent offenses include the following:


~ immigration laws that require illegal aliens to be jailed, not returned to their countries


~ the NAACP asked Congress to outlaw menthol cigarettes, the kind that 80% of black smokers use


SanFranciscoBayView.com carried this report among others about the Georgia prison labor strike:
Arrested Georgia correctional officer oversaw vicious beating of prisoner ‘in his capacity’ as supervisor - March 17, 2011 - Three months after inmate protests at multiple Georgia prisons, public records have emerged to document the vicious assault and battery committed upon handcuffed prisoner Terrance Dean by correctional officers and supervisors of Macon State Prison.


Rev. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, defending workers' rights.  He was killed after he began speaking against the Viet Nam War. War is profitable to prison owners and investors.  There is a close connection between the prison industrial complex, war, and Americans' job losses.  Prison laborers make 100% of military uniforms, tents, and other essentials.  I have found that if one sues lawyers who have been hired to defraud clients to protect the prison industrial complex, or if one protests the privatization of prisons, outsourcing American jobs, or if one speaks out against war,  major investors in all of those industries combine their strength to censor, persecute, and terrorize the protester, because THEY are ONE.


My censored article called "HOW IMPORTANT IS INNOCENCE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE" (at the following link) carries a report about many other products and services by prisoners who work jobs they were denied when they were free men with no jail records and eager to work, like the protagonist in my poem "GOOD ENUFF." http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-important-is-innocence-in-criminal.html  - Parolees cannot pass background checks to get the same jobs on the outside that they worked in prison.  Felonies also exempt parolees from necessary social services in order to keep recidivism rates high, despite the toll on public safety. 


Workers must understand and address causes of unemployment in the United States.  While Americans are laid off, unions are attacked, and unemployment benefits run out for millions, over one million inmates work up to seven days a week for minuscule sums or zero.  There are third-world countries in every state where slavery is alive and well. Companies that pay workers full salaries plus benefits, especially union scale, find it hard to compete with slave masters' low prices for supplying goods and services.  In addition to prison labor profits, taxpayers are forced to pay prison owners up to $60,000 per year per prisoner and substantially more for sick or condemned inmates (totaling $50 billion per year; roughly $185 billion annually when factoring in police services, court costs, and attorneys for indigent defendants). That is why nonviolent Georgia prison labor strikers were treated like revolting slaves in the 1700s and the perceived leaders are missing.   


People who are uninterested in prison reform for humanitarian reasons should demand Change for their own self-preservation, lest millions more Americans and illegal immigrants convicted for nonviolent offenses find themselves working overtime in orange jumpsuits while "free" citizens and legal immigrants lose their incomes.  People march and hold rallies like freedom fighters did in the 1960s, but that is only part of what it took to seriously wound Jim Crow.  Boycotts were a vital component, because they impacted profits. It is time for everyone who is fed up to stand up together in a peaceful protest:  BOYCOTT 4 JUSTICE - No Shopping on April 9, May 9, June 9, or the 9th of any month during 2011.  Link:  http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/boycott-4-justice-no-shopping-april-9.html  - Join the People's 9/11 emergency response to corporate greed and government misdeeds.  


Pray for me.  Like Rev. King, I honor my pledge to be a doer of the Word, not a hearer only.  I am censored, persecuted, and terrorized, even Watchlisted, for writing about injustices in America, especially (1) civil and human rights violations that benefit elitists financially, (2) the ongoing, elaborate cover-up regarding my mentally, physically handicapped brother's secret incarceration and murder in a publicly-owned correctional facility in 2003, and (3) my advocacy to decriminalize mental illness in America where 1.25 million prisoners have mental illness.  See the Wrongful Death of Larry Neal website (link available at the signature block below). America has digressed to become another of those countries where citizens go missing and die in government custody with investigations denied.  Compared to what happened to my family, merely losing your jobs is only step #1.  This country is losing something more vital than jobs: the right to call itself a democracy.


The thousand "We Are One" demonstrators in Atlanta joined hundreds of thousands across the nation in simultaneous protests.  Atlanta Jobs with Justice at this link http://www.atlantajwj.org/ reports that television coverage is at this link:  http://www.wsbtv.com/news/27409815/detail.html - NPR also covered the event in Atlanta.  Although reporters snapped my picture as I stood with the sign "Wrongful Death of Larry Neal.com," that will be censored in all reports.  Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) reported "Unions Mark MLK's Death with National Protests" on April 4.  The online report features four pictures of the wreath-laying ceremony but none of the workers' march and rally.  Google for my article entitled "Excuse Me . . . The Dogs Got Your Newspaper."  If readers can find photographs from the We Are One demonstrations across the nation on April 4, please post a link in the comments section below.  Americans spend trillions in borrowed funds to "spread democracy" in foreign countries while our own struggles are censored and people like Mary Neal are Watchlisted for reporting the issues. See real-time censorship applied to my reports at the YouTube video "Prison Labor Profits" at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icRD77mugaI and more should be running in the YouTube widget across the top of my blog at MaryLovesJustice.blogspot.com





My prevented tweet today:
@stayentertained Thanks 4 listing w/ Top Writer Blogger Social Media News to Follow Online | StayEntertained.com http://j.mp/ibVhF7 -  This happens frequently.  I hope Stay Entertained realizes that the cyberdogs prevented my thanking them at Twitter for listing @koffietime 


In case the censorship team redirects the short link for StayEntertained's list of interesting bloggers to follow, which is posted in my disallowed tweet above, the full link is http://www.stayentertained.com/2011/03/18/top-writer-blogger-social-media-news-to-follow-online/  - News reporters and Internet companies like StayEntertained can probably command cars, homes, and more for ignoring my advocacy, so people who bring attention to censored news to help improve human rights in America deserve our appreciation.


I planned to publish "Good Enuff" in my poem book, "21st Century Slave Songs," but it seemed time to put the problem before you right now.  My human rights poetry will be published soon, and I hope you help give Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill and stand up for equal justice for all by purchasing a copy.  Recognizing that our children will inherit the America we make for them, we need to stand together; for we are one.   The next article in this blog is "MARY NEAL'S MARCH 2011 TWEETS."  Unfortunately, I have to announce my next article or cyberstalkers may cause your browser to skip censored news that is presented in all of my articles in MaryLovesJustice blog and at FreeSpeakBlog.  Please feel free to comment below, follow this blog, copy and share links and data presented herein (crediting the author and linking back to the source).  Thanks for your support for justice and human rights in America. Destiny's Child sings, STAND UP FOR LOVE on this video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyW-SnO7jk4&feature=related
