Book Illustrator Wanted for Cochran Firm Fraud

WANTED: Illustrator for my book, "The Cochran Firm Fraud." A Christian ex-prisoner or prisoner activist is strongly preferred. Try out for the position. We need a mural depicting the mentally ill being mass arrested, tortured, and killed under the color of law, including the homeless and drug/alcohol addicts. Mural should include restraint chairs, Tasers, police shootings, abusive corrections officers, news reporters, distraught family members being pushed aside by government officials, and treacherous lawyers and judges who are prison investors. A picture of my murdered mentally and physically disabled brother, Larry Neal, and my aged mother, Hattie Neal, somewhere in your drawing or watercolor would be appreciated.

The mural could also have icons from corporations that use prison labor and/or invest in prisons, like Microsoft, Boeing Airlines, Starbucks, the U.S. Government, Victoria Secrets, McDonald's, or others who remove jobs from "free people" and use prisoners to avoid paying minimum wages and benefits. It should at least hint at the return of slavery in the USA and imply the rise of Nazism. Nazis isolated and exterminated roughly 300,000 people labeled with mental illness before beginning to exterminate over six million Jews, Blacks, homosexuals, and dissidents. Subjects in your mural should be all races.

Whether or not your mural wins the position of illustrator for "The Cochran Firm Fraud," your art will be seen by thousands of online friends and followers of MaryLovesJustice blogs and radio programs, including the United Nations, the U.S. Supreme Court, law schools, U.S. veterans, and many human and civil rights organizations and activists. The exposure should help you. Send your murals to my email account (in the signature block below), and label the email "Art Contest." Please also call or message me at Facebook to notify me of your submission. My communication suffers CoIntelPro attacks.

Art contest submissions must be received no later than April 30, 2015. That will allow time for you to complete 20 drawings for the book that relate to mass incarceration, prisoner abuse, executions, government cover-ups and conspiracies, oppressive surveillance, and censorship. Two illustrators may be selected. I suggest that you consult articles in my "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" blog or my "FreeSpeakBlog" for ideas. The index for FreeSpeakBlog is at http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/freespeakblog-archive-june-2007-to.html Thank you. ("They" would not allow the FreeSpeakBlog link to be active at first.

Caves and Chains for Mentally Ill Chinese; Bullets, Tasers and SHU for Americans

People in the UK and America are aghast at reading this headline in the Daily Mail: "Chinese father chains his blind, mentally ill son in a cave after losing their home (while he goes to live with his daughters)". People criticize the father for taking such drastic steps to protect his son, Cheng Xiangtao, 26, after losing their home. How is America better, since mentally ill people suffer 23 hours a day in solitary confinement in 9 ft x 6 ft cells? Sixty percent of inmates in SHU are mentally ill, and 1.25 million of America's prisoners are mentally challenged. Hypocrites should remove the beam in their own eye before criticizing the Chinese dad's mote. Cheng Yuanchao, 70, visits his son three times a day, does not Taser him, gas him, or let him die of starvation or brutality like some American mentally ill inmates do.

Yuanchao did not fracture his son's larynx like Maryland police did to Ethan Saylor, beat him to death like police did to Kelly Thomas, kill him through dehydration and neglect on a restraint table like Tim Souders, starve him to death behind bars like Carlos Umana, leave him to die in his own urine like Xavius Scullark-Johnson, Taser him to death like Inman Morales, or fatally shoot him like Christian Freeman, Brian Claunch, Mohamed Bah, Idriss Stelley, and many others. Yuanchao did not murder his son under secret arrest like Memphis police did to Larry Neal, or kill him through medical neglect like Anna Brown and Kathia Casseus. Yuanchao did not execute Cheng like Texas plans for Scott Panetti. Furthermore, Yuanchao does not use Cheng to enrich himself like American prison investors do to Rodriquez Nelson, who was sentenced to 56 years in prison for a domestic altercation that resulted in no lasting injuries.

"I have no home of my own now and nowhere to house my son," said Yuanchao. "This is the best I can do. I visit him three times a day with food and water so he is never hungry or thirsty. The chain is there only so he doesn't run off and hurt himself." Cheng is chained to the cave, which may seem cruel. Cheng is not free to roam alone and be murdered like Mitrice Richardson was, and her bones were found in the desert after a year's search.

Perhaps indigent and working class Americans would also seek ways to safely contain their mentally disabled relatives during heath crises when treatment is denied in order to save them from murderous police officers and ravenous private prison investors if such containment would not result in their own arrests. Humane and less expensive alternatives are offered in "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill Blog Welcome" at
http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2013/07/dogjusticeformentallyill-blog-welcome.html
Corrective measures include: 1. police officers trained to make lunacy arrests without violence; 2. increased inpatient hospital space and reinstatement of Medicaid insurance for inpatient care; and 3. assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) programs for continuous psychiatric treatment and subsistence (food and housing). Providing adequate care for America's mentally dysfunctional citizens is significantly less expensive than fighting wars for human rights abroad, yet many families in the United States have even fewer choices for their mentally challenged relatives than Yuanchao has.

See the Daily Report article about Yuanchao's distress and love for his son at the link below:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2406853/Chinese-father-chains-blind-mentally-ill-son-cave-losing-home.html#ixzz2diH9oIyH

Cheng Xiangtao, blind and mentally disabled, enjoys the sun and wind and visits three times daily from his dad, unlike American mentally challenged inmates who are cruelly imprisoned in tiny solitary confinement cells 23 hours per day, some for decades.

DOG JUSTICE NEEDED FOR AMERICA'S MENTALLY ILL

Stop the Prison Profiteering Pandemic

PRESS RELEASE (wide spaces are courtesy of my cyberstalkers. They won't let me move them right now.)

"The Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice at Harvard Law School released a policy report today entitled: “Three Strikes: The Wrong Way to Justice.” The report describes the likely long-term impact of the state adopting the proposed changes to the Habitual Offender Law contained in Senate Bill 2080 and House Bill 3818.

Professor Charles J. Ogletree, Jr., Executive Director and Founder of the Houston Institute, stated: “This report makes clear that, if enacted, the proposed changes will cost state taxpayers millions of dollars by needlessly locking up too many low-level offenders for too long a time, and depriving the state of funds it desperately needs for education, infrastructure, and jobs. It will further burden our severely overcrowded prisons, and risk the safety of employees and prisoners. Our communities of color will suffer the most from these changes. Other states recognize that “tough on crime” is not working, and it is time that Massachusetts adopts a more balanced approach to public safety.”

The report highlights the most problematic sections of the bills, estimates likely financial costs to taxpayers, and their almost certain disparate racial impact. It concludes with a recommendation for a “better” approach to improving community safety by investing in proven strategies to reduce violence and crime, and by undertaking a data-driven Justice Reinvestment project aimed at safely reducing the state’s prison population over time."

MARY'S COMMENTS:  Americans object to mass incarceration. We are aware of the tremendous financial burden of mass incarceration, which erodes funds for health, education and the general welfare of communities. Americans also understand that prisons compete with other industries for jobs. A million inmates work up to 72 hours a week on jobs that were removed from "free" people. So-called "tough on crime" laws are simply too tough on the nation's economy and unfairly tough minorities and working class whites. No thanks, prison investors. America has had enough of your "three strikes" laws that make slave plantations and nursing homes out of correctional institutions across the nation. No more playing sports games with people's lives and Americans' dwindling resources. For three or four decades, the world has watched prison profiteering spread like an airborne disease throughout the USA where 2.3 million people are incarcerated. The greed is outrageous. A recent study showed that 5,000 to 10,000 people are wrongly convicted every year. Many other people are excessively sentenced at a substantial cost to taxpayers. Roughly 1.25 million mentally ill Americans are imprisoned rather than being treated in hospitals or their communities, according to their offenses and functionality. We the People object. Invest in something humane for a change. EVERY JUDGE, PROSECUTOR, AND LAWMAKER SHOULD BE FORCED TO REVEAL HIS/HER STOCK PORTFOLIO, especially those in Massachusetts. Better yet, lawmakers should divest of corporate stock or resign from public service. No man can serve two masters, according to the Word of God.

Massachusetts lawmakers are addicted to mass incarceration. We did not forget that in 2009, Massachusetts planned to intern citizens in concentration camps for not taking the swine flu vaccine. Thank God that pharmaceutical scheme was exposed in time to stop millions of Americans and world citizens from being vaccinated with God knows what! Under the terms of the Martial Law bill Massachusetts passed in October 2009, a fine of up to $1,000 per day was to be assessed against each person who refused to take the H1N1 vaccine. That guaranteed the working class would have no choice but to surrender their bodies to the State or go to FEMA camps. See the video about the threat to intern Massachusetts residents in FEMA camps who could not or would not pay lawmakers to remain vaccination-free at this YouTube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBEDszBaguc  - Please, Americans, demand to see your justice officials' and lawmakers' investment portfolios and tell them to divest of prison stock or resign from their positions. Stop the prison profiteering pandemic.

I am thankful that more Christians are getting involved in the struggle to contain America's prison profiteering pandemic. More information about the Center for Church and Prison is at their website: http://www.churchandprison.org/

Occupy Wall Street Protest Demand - DIVEST or RESIGN!

(10 numbered paragraphs, 10 links, 2 photos)  

1.  Occupy Wall Street protesters should demand that conflicts of interest among decision makers be eliminated. The main issue is that corporations got tax breaks and bail-outs while Americans got left out.  To reverse that, only one change is necessary:  DEMAND THAT ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS DIVEST THEMSELVES OF CORPORATE STOCK. Officials are not inclined to vote against their own wallets and stock portfolios. Three main reasons for America's economic woes are wars, mass incarceration, and outsourcing jobs to prisons and overseas. Officials with stock that performs best during wars or because of high incarceration benefit by continuing those conditions.  That is why wars escalate, environmental protections suffer, and corporate interests are prioritized over Americans regardless of what political party is dominant or the races of decision makers.  Simply put, our representatives and other decision makers ARE the 1%.   

2.  Most Occupy Wall Street protesters at this point are white.  Many working class whites have come to realize that elitists do not have their best interests at heart.  Americans of every race and educational level are financially challenged.  This is happening because globalization involves flattening the U.S. economy so that corporations can pay equivalent wages in America, Africa, China, India, and other markets.  Rather than bringing workers throughout the world up to American standards, elitists attack collective bargaining in the United States.  Corporations outsource jobs to prisons and overseas to avoid union wages, minimum wage laws, benefits, and worker safety laws. Companies that do not outsource work have difficulty competing, and many are forced to downsize or close.

3.  Many middle class voters championed the laws and policies that created the nation's problems.  The middle class were last to feel the negative effects, but poverty trinkles up. Tough on crime laws and the war on drugs led to 2.3 million people being incarcerated in America, and over a million jobs (including union jobs) disappeared behind bars to be done by prison laborers.  Secondly, the never-ending war on terror means never enough money for Americans. Imperialist wars on borrowed money have a devastating effect on domestic programs.  Money for education, social security and health care is depleted by military spending.  Finally, citizens' apathy regarding police brutality leads to increased aggression among abusive police officers.  During Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, police overuse force on people who probably never expected to be attacked by law enforcement personnel.  They may never have protested police violence such as the murder of my mentally, physically disabled brother who died under undisclosed circumstances 18 days after he was secretly arrested in Shelby County Jail, TN - http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/ .  We must remember that as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

4.  Michigan is a good observation point for the corporate takeover of America. Duly-elected officials in Benton Harbor were effectively fired and replaced with a city manager with ties to Whirlpool Corporation.  This happened because of a budget deficit that residents claim was caused in the first place by Whirlpool's tax breaks.  Hundreds more city managers are currently in training.  Roughly 41,000 needy Michigan families reportedly lost their welfare benefits in October.  Welfare recipients ordinarily spend 100% of their incomes every month.  The decrease in consumer spending will have a negative effect not only on indigent families with dependent children who rely on that income, but also on the state's businesses, crime rate, and quality of life for all residents.  If other states follow suit and enforce four- or five-year term limits on welfare recipients during what is essentially a depression in minority communities, it will only worsen America's financial situation.  Hundreds of thousands of indigent children going homeless and hungry will not reverse the downward spiral America is in primarily because of military spending, but abandoning the poor will make this nation like third world countries where war is constant and life is cheap. The BH BANCO website chronicles the corporate takeover of an American city at this link:  http://bhbanco.blogspot.com/ .  I usually join Rev. Edward Pinkney, director of BANCO and the Benton Harbor chapter of the NAACP, on his one-hour Blogtalk Radio show each Sunday from 5:00 p.m. EST.  The show's call-in number is (347) 994-3644. Taped broadcasts are available online at http://t.co/UNpfYWY .  We discuss initiatives to combat the corporate takeover of America and reverse the loss of civil and human rights.  

5.  Another clear example of corporate profits overriding the interests of society is the criminal justice system.  Few officials are willing to curtail their own financial growth for righteousness sake.  Therefore, Americans pay $50 billion annually to imprison millions of nonviolent offenders, and prison companies earn billions more every year through work projects. Two tragedies are that guilt and innocence are not as relevant as they should be and that prisons have become America's mental hospitals as well as the nation's new slave plantations. Inmates produce 100% of military uniforms and other essentials except for weapons.  Inmates fish, make eyeglasses, assemble computers, provide customer service, manufacture office furniture and more for the government and Fortune 500 companies. Judges and defense attorneys who own prison stock should RECUSE THEMSELVES from all criminal investigations and trials or be prosecuted for antitrust violations. The nation's prosecutors and Justice Department personnel and their spouses or minor children should not be prison investors. Prison investors earn for every person who is sentenced to a private jail or prison and are in the position to earn in the future by placing people on probation. Cleansing the criminal justice system of prison investors would reduce prison costs and eliminate the main reason for wrongful convictions and excessive sentencing.  There can be no justice in a courtrooms where judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys benefit financially when defendants are found guilty.

6.  Occupy Wall Street is an opportunity for all Americans to come together without regard to race and socioeconomic backgrounds and protest corporate greed and government misdeeds. However, every protest needs clearly stated demands to be effective. Divesting representatives of corporate stock is the only way to make a significant change in the way decisions are made in America.  It is a big goal, but Occupy Wall Street is a big protest and much is at stake.  As Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz stated, "Globalization’s advocates are right that it has the potential to raise everyone’s living standards. But it has not done that."

DIVEST OR RESIGN!  DIVEST OR RESIGN!

7.  "Occupy Wall Street Protest Demand" is an advocacy article by Mary Neal, director of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill at http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/aimi   - I am now placing ads on my articles, complimentary for human and civil rights orgs and activists for 30 days or indefinitely. Try to contact me at MaryLovesJustice@gmail.com and let me know on which article you would like to place a link or ad, or use the comment section below this blog or my other two Blogger blogs - FreeSpeakBlog at http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/ and Justice Gagged http://justicegagged.blogspot.com/  - People cannot care about situations they do not know about.  It is time for everyone to wake up and help others to also awaken.  Try to follow me at Twitter where I am @koffietime - http://twitter.com/koffietime - and I will try to follow you back.   

8.  My complimentary ad for this article recommends writing by Joseph Stiglitz to present his ideas regarding globalization gone wrong:  (1) Joseph Stiglitz's website: http://www.bigspeak.com/joseph-stiglitz.html  and (2) Joseph Stiglitz on Project Syndicate - A World of Ideas:  http://www.project-syndicate.org/series/unconventional_economic_wisdom/description

9.  Occupy Wall Street protesters recognize that in addition to the U.S. economy being flattened, so are Americans' civil and human rights.  My experience with The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm and the United States Department of Justice after Larry Neal's secret arrest and murder and the ongoing cover-up affirms that government officials are not committed to the level of fairness required to move America forward. Censorship and retaliation are fascists' response when their sins are uncovered.  Over 800 Occupy protesters have been arrested in different cities, and some were brutalized by police.  News regarding Occupy Wall Street that was initially stifled in mainstream media reports was widely published online, including videos that captured police brutality against Americans peacefully using their First Amendment rights. It is therefore important to fight elitists' plans to put the Internet in America under the Justice Department through Senate Bill 968, the IP Protection Act, a/k/a "Internet Censorship Bill." Freedom of assembly, free speech, and freedom of press are enemies of fascism and are under attack in America.
 
10.  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. ~ 1 Timothy 6:10. We are in this grievous position because of decision makers who serve their bank accounts rather than constituents.  As corporation owners and investors, they have a serious conflict of interest.  Only removing the conflict will eliminate the problem. "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other" ~ Matt. 6:24.  Move big business out of government. Tell elected and appointed government officials to DIVEST OR RESIGN.
