Religious Freedom

Client Attorney Privilege ... and communication that helps win this one for Faithful Citizens, the US Constitution, the Penal Code and Civil Law !

· February 2009 : I am being warned that since the pastor did not cave to pressure to bar me from Mass, the Sacraments and devotions last year at St Therese church; that those same individuals are now threatening the Pastor with "going to the Bishop" to get a restraining order to bar me from Mass, the Sacraments and devotions at St Therese church ... I contact canon lawyers to see what can be done to end the ongoing character assassination

· Mar 3, 2009 5:30PM I receive a list of [false] allegations for the first time in writing in a private correspondence hand delivered by the author that was not copied to (or typed by) anyone else; the author is a direct witness to the falsity/deceit of most of these allegations

· I had over 5 weeks of legal consultation (between March 3 and April 9, 2009 during which I did not return to STC for my daily Masses) while a Constitutional attorney in contact with Roman Catholic Church Tribunal and Canon lawyers, etc researched and wrote a memo and letter highlighting my Constitutional and legal protections and the prohibitions that protect my/our ... entry to a Place of Religious Worship, etc.

· I whispered to the APD (Alhambra PD) police when they came into my pew on either side of me in the church to arrest me on Holy Thursday night that I would continue praying with the rest of those in Adoration at the Altar of Repose (put my head down and continued praying as I had been); when they persisted I whispered that the Pastor was not there; they did not know the people calling them, or how their pattern of intimidation involved the police in unnecessary calls and wasted time, and that I was protected by law

· I was not permitted to call or contact my attorney until after I was arraigned (and I was told "your attorney will NOT be at your trial on [Easter] Monday" by Watch Commander Rodriguez) between my 5PM April 10 arrest on Good Friday and until the officer in the court jail hold allowed me to use his desk phone [Douglas Kirk's office does not accept collect calls] at 5PM on April 13 (after Judge Ruiz' clerk found and gave me Doug Kirk's phone number as I left the court and after the Apr 13 arraignment at 4:30 PM and a CPO was issued [even tho I was clearly the one person who really needed the protection of the law from these "private persons" and trusted that I had it] to "protect" the "private persons" who used the CIS to call police and arrest me, based on nothing -- and nothing more than hearsay from DA prosecutors and 2 arrests made by "private persons" on Holy Thursday and Good Friday; and their demand that the Pastor be included in this "protection" even tho the Pastor was absent during the arrests; could have no legal or canonical involvement in excommunicating me; and none of those listed had "cause" to need "protection" as I did not have any social contact with these "private persons" in or out of the church)

· I had gone to the APD police station on the morning of April 9 to show the Police Chief (but was intercepted by Watch Commander Rodriguez) David Llewellyn, Esq's letter of April 1, 2009 to Fr Jan Lundberg, OCD and to remind the police of the pattern of harassment, intimidation, injury to church property that I'd already reported for the record over the last year, including all the incidents dismissed in my favor or simply reported (i.e., the Protect Marriage sign slashings, mutilations, and thefts in Oct 2008; some months later, I rec'd an email form APD police records asking who the "owner" of the church was, which seemed strange at the time -- God is the "owner" of His House; we who are the "Living Stones" and who practice our Faith and support the Church are the "owners" and builders both spiritually and materially, and the Archdiocese holds a property deed donated and specified by a devout donor -- the Carmelites have Vows of Poverty and reside at the invitation of the Bishop and my CA Driver's License still shows 510 N El Molino Street as my original mailing address and "residence" since I received mail at the Church Office from the time Fr Jan Lundberg moved me from Costa Mesa to Alhambra and into the old Convent on Oct 15, 2007 -- so the matter of "ownership" of the church when I was reporting vandalism and property loss seemed an odd, irrelevant and a curious question in late Dec 2008/early Jan/Feb 2009 coming from the police records archive -- not that the gang members bused in from East LA into our Parish and neighborhood or the "private persons" doing the busing were ever tracked down -- but maybe someone knows where a fellow named "Mucous" is these days and could subpoena "Mucous" as a defense witness -- Jim DeTardo and I had a wonderful chat with these 9-10-12 year-old gang members on Oct 19, 2008 while I was registering voters for the election deadline on the STC church steps during our Parish/Alhambra Family Festival).

· Sep 13 -- I went to the APD station to ask for the badge number and name of a police officer that tried to intimidate and harass me while I was praying the Rosary in my locked, parked car on a public street at c. 8:50 PM while waiting for a friend to leave the last Benediction inside St Therese church; other witnesses saw this officer outside his patrol car watching the Eucharistic Procession through the neighborhood sidewalks of Alhambra; Watch Commander Rodriguez gives me the name and badge number on the station phone and then comes out to threaten me with 3 weeks in prison for violating a "restraining order" for St Therese church which, I reminded WC Rodriguez, "never existed" (prior to my arrests on Apr 9 & 10). A week later Rodriguez initiates "conversations" and issues a bench warrant and I am arrest on Oct 13 praying the Rosary in my locked car at the same location where I have parked since July 13 c. 8:22PM because it was pouring rain and the "Fatima Eucharistic Procession/Benedictions" remained inside St Therese church that one night in the 6 months between May 13 and Oct 13.

· I was not permitted to call my attorney after my arrest on Oct 13, 2009. The DA Prosecutors/Judge Ruiz had contacted Kirk and told me in court Kirk was not taking this case ! Kirk had no contact with me until 5:15 PM Oct 14 after the court arraignment ended, when I was allowed to call Kirk from the court jail hold desk once again. The officers cut off our conversation after a few minutes and Kirk had to call them back and tell them that he had the right by law to talk to me, etc. We were given 15 minutes. Since there was no "restraining order" for the first 2 arrests; this was clearly an attempt to eliminate the first 2 cases and my private attorney, and invent another case with an illicit CPO (Criminal Protection Order) against A PRACTICING CATHOLIC and LAW ABIDING CITIZEN (and against a PASTOR/Priest of the Church) with no prior criminal history or arrests despite the fact that I have been involved in Pro Life prayer and counseling at abortuaries since June 6, 1970 and whose presence with Christ at Mass and in/during the reception of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament or while in Procession with Christ in the Blessed Sacrament is being barred and made CRIMINAL because "private persons" use the Criminal Informan System to further their own political and/or personal agendas.

· I was placed in Maximum Security Isolation; straight jacket chained and isolated for court transports for 12 days of the 19 days served without trial or sentence; prison guards forgot I was in the cell and forgot to feed me; muttered that I had been cleared for General Population so what was I doing there(?); and finally during my last hour prior to my release on $45,000 bail ($10,000 for arrests 1 & 2 and $35,000 for arrest 3) ordered me to wear the Orange terrorist prison uniform (my intake uniform had not been changed for 12 days) and guards repeated questions during that last hour : what color uniform was I wearing; why I was in that section of the prison for the criminally insane and suicidal; and why I was wearing Orange. [On the last, I simply replied I did not know because I had not been tried or sentenced and I expected release on bail shortly. I was escorted away and released about 15 minutes later.].
