A Reader’s Letter to Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III

Editor’s Notes:  The referenced article on Orly Taitz’s website contains a letter from another citizen concerned for Fitzpatrick’s welfare.  Taitz had made a statement about Fitzpatrick’s last incarceration, which ran from September 23 to December 3, 2011.  He was rearrested on December 7, 2011.

Fitzpatrick had brought a criminal complaint of treason against Barack Hussein Obama to the Monroe County grand jury during the fall of 2009, following his attempt to have it reviewed by U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth. Fitzpatrick’s complaint identified Obama as a “foreign born domestic enemy,” and, while not focusing on whether or not Obama qualified as a “natural born Citizen” as required by the U.S. Constitution to serve as president, accused Obama of “fundamentally changing our form of government” by allowing U.S. Army troops to deploy and act as law enforcement in Samson, AL following a shooting.

[It is interesting to note that the link under the word “complaint” in the first paragraph of our July 7, 2010 report which originally linked to the complaint document filed by Fitzpatrick now leads to a generic Google search box.]

Subsequent complaints were filed by Fitzpatrick to the FBI, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, and the two federal grand juries in Knoxville.

Several sources have reported that the alleged short-form and long-form birth certificates which Obama has presented to the public are forgeries and that he is using a stolen social security number.  One source has stated that he has committed identity fraud and that his entire background has been fabricated to conceal his real identity. The state of Hawaii has refused to release the documentation on Obama’s birth which it allegedly has on file despite a U.S. District Court subpoena for it.

Recently, Obama stated that capitalism “doesn’t work…it has never worked.”

Following a series of delays and denials from the local grand jury, Fitzpatrick discovered that Gary Pettway, the presumed foreman, had been serving in that capacity for at least 20 consecutive years.

After approaching all local and state law enforcement entities about what he perceived to be a violation of state law, Fitzpatrick attempted to make a citizen’s arrest of Pettway on April 1, 2010 but was ordered arrested by Judge Carroll L. Ross.  A transcript of Fitzpatrick’s June 28, 2010 arraignment at the Monroe County courthouse was posted on the internet long before Fitzpatrick himself was able to obtain a copy, said copy of which was obtained first by The Post & Email.  The transcript obtained from the court reporter and that which was published on the internet do not match.

Grand juries are authorized by the Fifth Amendment to act as a check between a potentially overzealous government prosecutor and a criminal defendant.  Their gradual takeover by the government has jeopardized the guarantee of a trial by an impartial jury of one’s peers because the jury is not impartial.

Fitzpatrick discovered that Monroe County grand jury and trial jury members are hand-selected by either the “jury coordinator,” Chief Court Clerk Marty Cook, or by one of the judges, contrary to TCA 22-2-314, which states that jury selection must be completed by automated means.  Cook has claimed that a judge “may pick the foreman from wherever they choose,” but the law states that the foreman must meet all the qualifications of a juror, which presumably would include a ban on serving twice within the 24-month period.

Acting as s a citizen reporter, Fitzpatrick observed Judge Amy Reedy allow a defendant to be convicted of murder after no forensic testing was done on the evidence and the prosecutor asked the jury to convict based on a new theory presented during closing arguments.  The Post & Email has heard from other members of the Monroe County and McMinn County communities stating that Reedy is guilty of judicial misconduct on several fronts.

Through an open records request, Fitzpatrick was informed by Cook that no appointing orders exist for Pettway or any other grand jury foreman for at least the last 27 years.  The Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts did not respond to The Post & Email’s inquiry as to the legality of Pettway’s having acted as foreman without having been duly appointed and sworn in.  Fitzpatrick has described Pettway as “a play-actor…a puppet” and that power must be restored to the people by forming constitutional grand juries.

On December 1, 2010, Fitzpatrick was convicted of two misdemeanors arising from the April 1, 2010 citizen’s arrest.  The indictments arose from a tainted grand jury, as at least two of the members had served a second consecutive term contrary to the law.  However, the judges refused to correct that deficiency and allowed the charges, trial and convictions to stand.  It is unknown how many other defendants have been accused, tried and convicted by compromised grand juries and trial juries in Monroe County alone.

Earlier this month, The Post & Email contacted three other Tennessee counties to ask about the manner in which they select their jurors.  All three said that names are chosen by computer from the state driver’s license list.  The clerk from Stewart County stated that he would provide a written summation of the jury selection process, but we never received anything.  Knox County and Franklin County stated that after automated means are utilized, potential jurors’ names are checked against previous records to ascertain that no one serves twice within the period mandated by the law.  The clerk in Knox County stated that the law mandated “three years.”

It has been reported that corruption is widespread throughout the Tennessee Judiciary but that impeachment of a judge has not occurred in that state since 1958.  The Court of the Judiciary, created by the Tennessee General Assembly to be responsible for reviewing complaints about judges, is composed mainly of judges and attorneys.   At least one of the judges who sits on the Court of the Judiciary, Christy R. Little, has been accused of wrongdoing regarding her decision to place a young child in the custody of a father who admitted to being a drug dealer instead of with the mother, whom witnesses stated was an outstanding parent.

Complaints against judges are kept private and have been reported to be dismissed in almost all cases.

The Tennessee General Assembly will reconvene for the 2012 session on January 10, 2012.  Members can be reached here.  The Post & Email sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee members on December 21, 2011.  U.S. Congressman Jimmy Duncan has refused to respond to reports of corruption within his district.

The Executive Branch of Tennessee government was contacted last year as well as recently.
