- Is a long-time court-reformer/TV reporter supposed to
know about EVERY judge he comes across? I have been a court-reformer since
1958 and part of a weekly non-commercial TV program since 1991. Since 1995,
I have been the moderator/producer of the program called "Broadsides",
a public access Cable TV show. I cannot be expected to know every judge.
After all, in the Chicago-area, for example, there are hundreds of judges.
I came to court on October 29, 2001, in litigation involving an associate
of mine, Joseph Andreuccetti who assists with the production of our show
in Chicago. I was there as his paralegal, to take notes, and also as an
alternative media reporter.
Maybe I should have been immediately suspicious when the Judge, Samuel
Betar III [(312) 603-4371], threatened me, apparently to jail me, if I
didn't stop taking notes. He shouted and hollered at me, demanding I go
to the rear of the courtroom. I was alarmed when the judge threatened to
also jail Joe, and he had a heart attack.
What was going on here? Understand something: I am a paraplegic in a wheelchair
and Joe and his wife Noemi often drive me where I have to go and assist
me at my residence. I tried in court to wheel over to where Joe took ill,
and the Judge hollered at me and threatened me again. I told the Judge
to stop falsely threatening to jail Joe, since I depend on him. The Judge
would not permit me to go over to see what happened to Joe.
Paramedics along with about six armed guards arrived and took Joe away
on a stretcher. I was not allowed to accompany him or to find out right
away what was going on.
My subsequent investigations uncovered plenty about Judge Samuel Betar
III. Later, we filed a Motion to try to force the removal of Judge Betar
from the case, to stop him from falsely threatening to jail me and Joe.
Filed in support of that motion are my signed statements of what I uncovered.
From the court record are verbatim what is stated, numbered as they are
there:
"1. I understand this this instrument under [citing Illinois law],
has the same force and effect as if it were an Affidavit sworn to before
a notary public.
-
- 2. I am a traditional Jew, of the Jewish race and religion.
My associates Joseph Andreuccetti and Noemi Andreuccetti are perceived
by their opponents and enemies as being partly Jewish.
-
- 3. Judge Samuel Betar III is closely aligned, including
financial, with Suhail "Steven" Al-Masri who is the Editor-in-Chief
and Publisher of the Al-Salam Newspaper, which has been circulated in the
Chicago area and elsewhere."
"4. Said Newspaper was operated at 8150 W. 111th Street, Suite 11,
Palos Hills, Illinois, which was the offices of "Steven".
-
- 5. Said newspaper has published what those of the Jewish
race and religion perceive as vicious anti-Jewish and anti-Israel propaganda,
calculated to slander and defame those of the Jewish race and religion.
-
- 6. "Steven" has been the purported owner of
an airplane pilots training school which has likewise been headquartered
at 8150 W. 111th Street, Suite 11, Palos Hills, Illinois. Law enforcement
personnel have been surveilling "Steven" because, they contend,
his school has been used by purported "terrorists" who apparently
had and have been planning to seize U.S. commercial airplanes for the purpose
of sabotage and violence to be inflicted on U.S. persons and properties."
7. Part of law enforcement and other government surveillance of "Steven"
has also included Judge Samuel Betar III, who is financially and otherwise
closely aligned with "Steven" according to such government personnel.
-
- 8. "According to covert surveillance, "Steven"
received numerous calls from topmost officials in the Springfield office
of Ilinois Governor George H. Ryan. Because of the close relationship
of "Steven" with Judge Samuel Betar III and they, in turn, with
Governor Ryan, law enforcement personnel contend they are precluded from
taking any action against either "Steven" or Judge Betar, or
both, jointly. Further, "Steven" has been photographed with Illinois
Governor George H. Ryan."
9. "Steven" has been the owner of Royal Financial Group, Inc.,
headquartered at 8150 W. 111th Street, Suite 11, Palos Hills, Illinois.
Law enforcement personnel contend that said business is, in part, an apparent
front for clandestine dealings with a Foundation in Bridgeview, Illinois[a
Chicago suburb], identified by the U.S. Attorney General and the U.S. Department
of the Treasury, as being a purported "terrorist" linked organization
and enterprise, funneling funds in the U.S. and to the Mid-East and elsewhere
for purported "terrorist" activities directed against U.S. citizens
and properties."
"10. As part of activities to promote their front enterprises, as
aforementioned, "Steven" and Judge Samuel Betar III have two
slide photographs posted on his and/or their, website, http://www.noribahomes.com.
Said photographs appear to have been taken inside the judicial offices
of Judge Samuel Betar III for the purpose of promoting their joint businesses
and financial activities. Copies of said photographs, reproduced from said
website, are attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit One."
[The said website-reproduced photographs are in the court record attached
to my signed statement and show "Steven" and Judge Betar.]
"11. Law enforcement personnel assert they are precluded from taking
action against Judge Samuel Betar III and Suhail "Steven" Al-Masri,
despite law enforcement contentions that "Steven" and Judge Betar
appear to be Chicago-area links to Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda network."
-
- "12. According to those who know him well, "Steven"
went low-profile, if not totally disappearing, prior to the purported "terrorist"
violence on September 11, 2001, directed against lower Manhattan and the
Pentagon. Law enforcement personnel contend they would want to interview
him as to his activities including with Judge Betar and the airplane pilots
training school, as aforementioned. "Steven's" apparent dropping
out of sight tends to support law enforcement contentions that "Steven"
with his aforementioned activities has something to conceal, along with
Judge Betar."
"13. Both Judge Samuel Betar III and "Steven" have been
in a position to note that Sherman H. Skolnick has a popular website where
he often comments on activities in the U.S. for and on behalf of Osama
bin Laden, the bin Laden group, and similar persons and groups linked to
them. Skolnick's website is: http://www.skolnicksreport.com."
"14. As stated in Skolnick's prior [court-filed papers], Judge Betar
impliedly sought to falsely jail Skolnick, a paraplegic in a wheelchair
and to seek to falsely jail Skolnick's close associate Joseph Andreuccetti
who was caused to have a heart seizure in the process of the Judge seeking
to falsely jail Joseph Andreuccetti. 15. As stated herein, the matters
here are to be considered as a supplement to the [prior court papers].
If he thinks he can get away with it, Judge Betar would again, as a reprisal,
seek to falsely jail Joseph Andreuccetti and Sherman H. Skolnick."
"16. As stated in the prior [court-filed papers], Skolnick was the
paralegal accompanying Joseph Andreuccetti on October 29, 2001, for the
purpose of sitting nearby to the proceedings so that Skolnick could hear
what was occurring and take notes. Judge Betar, under the sham and pretense
of law, interfered with and blocked Skolnick from taking notes, which were
necessary since no official court reporter was present. Skolnick understands
that the doings of Judge Betar, to block Skolnick from taking notes of
the proceedings, are offenses by Judge Betar made actionable against Betar
by 42 U.S.C.A. Section 1983 et seq. [The Federal Civil Rights Acts, used
to sue State officials for wrongful conduct.] Judge Betar and "Steven"
harbor a deep grudge and deep prejudice against Skolnick and Joseph and
Noemi."
"17. Under these circumstances, no reasonable person could expect
Sherman H. Skolnick, a traditional Jew, and Joseph and Noemi Andreuccetti
perceived as partly Jewish, to be fairly dealt with in the courtroom of
Judge Samuel Betar III. Judge Betar, under the sham and pretense of judicial
authority, has used his judicial power to terrorize Joseph Andreuccetti
and his close associate Sherman H. Skolnick. This is a reprisal for Skolnick's
comments, assisted by Joseph Andreuccetti, on Skolnick's television program
as well as his website."
"18. It is no answer that law enforcement has the power as aforementioned
to take action against Judge Samuel Betar III and his close associate "Steven";
and that such law enforcement personnel are precluded from doing so because
of political and other considerations permitting Betar and "Steven"
to act with impunity against the public safety and interest, and against
Sherman and Joseph." [End of Court document, in Case No. 97 M1-132033,
pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Municipal Department, First
District].
Notice these further strange connections. Judge Samuel Betar III is an
immediate family member of Samuel Betar once law partner to David Schippers,
former federal prosecutor and Chicago lawyer, and Special Counsel to the
House Impeachment of Clinton Committee. Perceived by some as a long-time
CIA operative calculated to blackmail Clinton and others, Schippers was
assigned to the Impeachment position by then House Judiciary Committee
Chairman, Cong. Henry Hyde (R., Ill.) As we have pointed out in several
previous stories, Hyde at the same time has been secretly head of the CIA's
"Black Budget" for dirty tricks including political assassinations.
By he way, under the Separation of Powers provision of the U.S. Constitution,
it is unconstitutional for Hyde to wear two such hats at the same time.
Called "Uncle Henry", Hyde supervised the CIA's dope importing
into the Southern states, including through the CIA airport at Mena, Arkansas.
He was boss, of sorts, of those running the dope/gun smuggling operation,
including Bill Clinton, George Herbert Walker Bush, and Ollie North.
On talk radio, David Schippers contends that through his close contacts
in the FBI, that he found out there was "terrorist" violence
expected in lower Manhattan. Schippers says he has proof he tried, in vain,
to force prior proper action by the new U.S. Attorney General and likewise
by the Bush White House about a month before September 11, 2001. They
did not want to know, Schippers says, and instead his FBI friends are facing
reprimands for having tried to alert the higher ups at FBI. [Notice the
related item from BBC, reported by the Times of India, 11/7/1, based on
secret FBI documents,"Bush Told FBI to 'Back Off' Investigating bin
Laden Family".
Questions with no immediate answers: Is America's secret political police,
the FBI, supposedly running after "terrorists", going to do anything
about U.S. public oficials apparently linked to "terrorists"?
And what is the head judge of that part of the Cook County Court system
going to do, if anything, about what has been set forth? I brought the
matters, as stated herein, directly to the attention of Judge Jacqueline
P. Cox{(312) 603-6132], head of the Municipal Department, First District,
of Cook County Circuit Court.
It seems like the bench and the bar conduct their dirty business quite
a bit with blackmail and even terrorist-style threats. Are there reportedly
"terrorist" linked judges where you are? If so, WHO, if anyone,
is going to do somehing about it?
