An Incompetent Defense and a Conspiracy Against Rights

In the complex and often harsh world of the legal system, the importance of competent legal representation cannot be overstated. Unfortunately, in my case—State of Arizona vs. Ewing Samuels—the very cornerstone of justice was undermined by the ineptitude and incompetence of my attorney, Dwane Cates. His ineffective assistance did not just fall short of acceptable legal standards; it actively contributed to a miscarriage of justice, supported by evidence of collusion with Lori Eidemanis and the Maricopa County Attorney Office.

Dwane Cates: A Breach of Duty

When I was accused of a crime I did not commit, I placed my trust in Dwane Cates, hoping for a robust defense that would uphold my rights and deliver justice. However, throughout the trial, it became evident that Cates failed to meet the basic obligations of his role:

  1. Lack of Preparation: From the outset, Cates demonstrated a severe lack of preparation. He failed to investigate crucial evidence that could have proven my innocence and neglected to interview key witnesses whose testimonies would have been pivotal.
  2. Inadequate Legal Strategy: His legal strategy, if it can be called that, was riddled with errors and glaring omissions. He did not file necessary motions that could have challenged the prosecution’s evidence or highlighted procedural errors, thereby failing to protect my constitutional rights.
  3. Poor Communication: Throughout the proceedings, Cates maintained poor communication with me. Important decisions were made without my input or understanding, leaving me uninformed and unable to participate meaningfully in my own defense.
  4. Criminal Conduct: Dwane Cates had personally asked me to ask JTC’s mother Alisa Michelle Hudson for him to ‘go away’ or leave the State until after the case is over when I met with him at his office on 1747 E. Morten, Suite 205. Phoenix, Arizona 85020 in 2016. I was shocked and looked at him like he lost his mind.
  5. Absolutely No Investigation Into The Facts Thereof: A simple background check into the state’s witness would have shown:

The State’s case was built on the word of an individual, JTC, who was arrested 10 times before this case, with at least 25 Phoenix Police Department Incident reports of residential burglary, aggravated assaults, dui, domestic violence, criminal damage, disorderly conduct, 5 arrest warrants, and a pending investigation into the death of Royce Emmett Walker on May 21, 2015. None of these items were even mentioned in trial, yet the prosecution did its best to impugn my background, even though I was never arrested nor had any criminal history prior to this so called ‘criminal case’. Dwane Cates representation is questionable all around.

The State of Arizona’s case against me was largely constructed on Detective Marchele Miller‘s report, which was rife with omissions and deliberate falsehoods. Despite possessing facts that could have demonstrated my innocence, Miller chose to suppress this crucial information, thereby distorting the narrative and fabricating evidence to fit a predetermined conclusion of guilt. Her actions not only tainted the integrity of the investigation but also played a significant role in the wrongful conviction that followed, highlighting a grave miscarriage of justice. Marchele Miller was arrestedon February 23, 2012 by the Chandler Police Department.

This report is filled of her racism, deception, propensity for dishonesty, violence, and immoral behavior.

“The Sixth Amendment right to counsel is the right to the effective assistance of counsel, and the benchmark for judging any claim of ineffectiveness must be whether counsel’s conduct so undermined the proper functioning of the adversarial process that the trial cannot be relied on as having produced a just result.”

Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984)

Evidence of Conspiracy

What is more alarming than Cates’ incompetence is the emerging evidence suggesting a deliberate conspiracy against my rights (18 U.S.C. § 241). The records indicate that Cates did not merely fail to defend me adequately but actively collaborated with the prosecution Lori Eidemanis and the Maricopa County Attorney Office to ensure a guilty verdict:

  1. Collusion with the Prosecution: There is substantial proof that Cates engaged in backdoor communications with the State Attorney’s Office, discussing strategies that were against my interests and designed to weaken my defense.
  2. Deliberate Sabotage: Specific actions taken by Cates, such as the deliberate suppression of exculpatory evidence and failure to cross-examine key prosecution witnesses effectively, strongly imply that his ineffective assistance was not merely due to incompetence but was a part of a concerted effort to ensure my conviction.
  3. Violation of Constitutional Rights: This conspiracy against rights is a severe violation of my legal and constitutional protections. The right to effective counsel is enshrined in the Sixth Amendment, and the deliberate denial of this right constitutes a grave injustice.

“The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office has a long history of paying witnesses to testify and commit perjury, nondisclosure, and collusion with defense attorney’s, as they call it give me the case and I’ll throw you a bone here and there.”

Ewing R. Samuels III

The Path to Justice

The wrongful conviction and subsequent imprisonment were a direct result of Dwane Cates’ incompetence and the malicious collusion with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. This case is not just about one individual’s failure but a systemic abuse that requires accountability and redress.

Moving Forward

  1. Legal Action: I am committed to pursuing all legal avenues to overturn this unjust conviction and to hold those responsible accountable for their actions. This includes filing for post-conviction relief based on the ineffective assistance of counsel and exploring civil actions for the conspiracy against my rights.
  2. Public Awareness: Sharing my story is crucial. By exposing the details of this case, I aim to shed light on the broader issues within the justice system, advocating for reforms that will prevent others from suffering similar fates.
  3. Advocacy for Reform: My experience underscores the need for systemic changes. Advocacy for stricter oversight of legal counsel performance and greater transparency within prosecutorial conduct is essential to protect the rights of all individuals.

Conclusion

The ordeal I faced due to Dwane Cates’ incompetence and the malicious conspiracy against my rights is a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities within our legal system. My fight is not just for personal justice but for a more equitable system where such injustices cannot occur. Through continued legal action and raising public awareness, I am determined to seek justice and ensure that my case serves as a catalyst for necessary reforms.

To reiterate, these are not just Sixth Amendment violations, but are criminal violations under Federal laws. As they say, “no one is above the law”.

For more details about my case and ongoing efforts, please stay tuned as I dissect my case from beginning to present. Join me in advocating for justice and accountability.

Invisible Scars: The Toll Of Imprisonment And Its Lifelong Impact

Introduction

Imprisonment is a harsh reality for many, but its effects extend far beyond the prison walls. The psychological trauma endured during incarceration can have profound and lasting impacts on an individual’s mental health, life outcomes, and overall outlook on life. This blog explores these effects, supported by statistics from reputable government agencies, and underscores the urgent need for reform and support for those reentering society.

Mental Health Effects of Imprisonment

Imprisonment often exposes individuals to a range of stressors, including isolation, violence, murder, torture, and a lack of autonomy. These conditions can lead to various mental health issues, such as:

  1. Depression and Anxiety: According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than half of all prison and jail inmates in the U.S. have a mental health problem, with depression and anxiety being among the most common issues.
  2. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that 21% of prisoners have experienced PTSD, stemming from traumatic events during incarceration.
  3. Substance Abuse Disorders: Many inmates struggle with substance abuse issues, which are often exacerbated by the prison environment. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) found that around 58% of state prisoners and 63% of sentenced jail inmates meet the criteria for drug dependence or abuse.

The Adverse Impact on Life Outcomes

The effects of imprisonment are not confined to the time spent behind bars. They extend into every aspect of an individual’s life post-release, influencing their social, economic, and psychological well-being.

  1. Employment and Income: Former inmates face significant barriers to employment. The Bureau of Justice Statistics indicates that two-thirds of released prisoners were not employed within five years of their release. Those who do find work often earn significantly less than their peers, perpetuating a cycle of poverty.
  2. Education: Imprisonment can disrupt educational pursuits. Data from the U.S. Department of Education shows that only 14% of prisoners have some college education, compared to 48% of the general population.
  3. Recidivism: Mental health issues and lack of support can lead to high recidivism rates. The National Institute of Justice reports that within five years of release, about 76.6% of released prisoners are rearrested.

My Personal Journey

As someone who has experienced the full brunt of the prison system, I can attest to the deep and lasting impacts it has on one’s mental health and overall life. My name is Ewing Redmond Samuels III. Born in Belize City, Belize, in 1978, I emigrated to the United States as a child and built a life there, only to have it upended by a wrongful and unlawful conviction. After serving 6.5 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections and additional time in federal custody, I was deported back to Belize in 2023.

The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) defines deportation or forcible transfer of a population as a crime against humanity. The ICC is located in The Hague and prosecutes individuals accused of crimes against humanity, which are serious violations committed against a civilian population. Deportation is defined as the displacement of people across an international border. Forcing people to leave their place of residence through expulsion or other coercive acts for reasons not permitted by international law could be a crime against humanity, a war crime, or both. The 15 forms of crimes against humanity listed in the Rome Statute include offences such as murder, rape, imprisonment, enforced disappearances, enslavement – particularly of women and children, sexual slavery, torture, apartheid and deportation.

Rome Statute of The International Criminal Court

Even though I now live in the paradise of the tropical Caribbean, the shadows of my incarceration linger. I struggle daily with a multitude of personal and professional challenges. The trauma has not only affected me but has also profoundly impacted my son, leaving us both grappling with lifelong scars.

Despite my 20 years of experience as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, and my extensive background as a business consultant and music and film producer, reintegration has been an uphill battle. The stigma of my past and the psychological toll of my experiences continue to pose significant hurdles.

Outlook on Life

The psychological toll of imprisonment can fundamentally alter an individual’s outlook on life. Feelings of hopelessness, mistrust, and social withdrawal are common among former inmates.

  1. Hopelessness and Despair: Prolonged exposure to the harsh conditions of prison life can lead to chronic feelings of hopelessness and despair, which can hinder reintegration efforts.
  2. Mistrust and Social Withdrawal: Many former inmates develop a deep-seated mistrust of others and often withdraw from social interactions. This isolation can prevent them from building the social support networks necessary for successful reintegration.
  3. Stigma and Discrimination: The stigma associated with a criminal record can lead to social and institutional discrimination, further alienating former inmates and diminishing their sense of self-worth.

The Need for Reform and Support

Addressing the mental health needs of inmates and providing comprehensive support post-release is crucial for improving life outcomes and reducing recidivism. Here are some steps that can make a difference:

  1. Mental Health Services: Increasing access to mental health services in prisons and jails can help mitigate some of the adverse effects of incarceration.
  2. Educational and Vocational Training: Providing inmates with educational and vocational training can improve their employment prospects post-release.
  3. Support Networks: Establishing robust support networks, including counseling, mentorship programs, and community support, can aid in the reintegration process.

Conclusion

The mental health effects of imprisonment are profound and far-reaching, influencing every aspect of an individual’s life post-release. By understanding these impacts and advocating for comprehensive reform and support, we can help former inmates rebuild their lives and contribute positively to society. I have seen more than I care to admit in the United States and the American criminal justice system, and now question the so called authorities in control of”law and order”.

Until Next Time…

The Phoenix Police Department: Abuse of Power

The Dark Underbelly of Phoenix: Uncovering Police Misconduct

In the sprawling metropolis of Phoenix, Arizona, a city known for its desert landscapes and vibrant culture, there lies a darker underbelly—a system marred by corruption and abuse of power. At the forefront of this injustice stands the Phoenix Police Department (PPD), an entity entrusted with upholding the law but often found guilty of violating it.

22 Arizona Police Officers Punished So Far In 2024

In a year marked by heightened scrutiny of law enforcement, Arizona’s Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST) has taken action against misconduct within the state’s police force. With 37 investigations opened since August, including cases of officers asking suggestive questions to minors and threatening individuals with deadly force, the board has suspended or revoked certifications for 22 officers. Notable cases include Mesa officer Clinton Bertola’s inappropriate interrogation of high school girls and Gilbert Police Officer Andrew Neves’ use of excessive force. These actions underscore AZPOST’s pivotal role in holding officers accountable and safeguarding public trust in law enforcement, emphasizing the need for ongoing reform and oversight.

On a personal note, I wrote a letter to AZPOST and sent them the evidence needed of an arrest record and criminal history of Detective Marchele Miller in 2019, at present still I’ve heard nothing yet.

Arizona’s Law Enforcement Accountability: AZPOST Probes 20 More Cases of Police Misconduct in 2023

Arizona’s law enforcement watchdog, the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST), has intensified its scrutiny of police conduct, opening investigations into 20 new cases of misconduct since March. Allegations include excessive force, bungled investigations, and instances of domestic violence, reflecting a disturbing trend within the state’s police force. Notable cases involve a trooper ordering his police dog to bite individuals and a Tempe officer tasing an unarmed man 13 times. AZPOST’s role in holding officers accountable underscores the importance of transparency and oversight in maintaining public trust in law enforcement.

Arizona Police Misconduct: 17 Officers Under Investigation for Various Offenses in 2023

Marked by a string of troubling incidents, the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST) has opened investigations into 17 cases of police misconduct. Among the allegations are excessive force, DUIs, reckless driving, and instances of dishonesty. These cases shed light on internal investigations often kept from public view, ranging from a state trooper’s controversial TikTok videos to a small-town police chief’s DUI arrest. Despite heightened scrutiny, AZPOST’s decisions on disciplinary actions remain pivotal, with some high-profile use-of-force cases resulting in no further action taken.

Concealed Crimes: Detective Marchele Miller’s Hidden Past

One even more outrageous example of this misconduct is the case of Detective Marchele Miller, whose own criminal history and arrest record were conveniently concealed from both the public and the defense in a court of law. This deliberate act of deception not only undermines the integrity of our justice system but also raises serious questions about the credibility of those tasked with enforcing the law. Obtaining indictments and testifying in trials, with a known criminal history and arrest record of deception and lying, this kind of officer is a clear and present danger since February 23, 2012.

Operating Under the ‘Color of Law’: The PPD’s Abuse of Authority

The concept of operating under the ‘color of law‘ is not unfamiliar to the PPD. It refers to the misuse of power, typically by government officials, to deprive individuals of their constitutional rights under the guise of enforcing the law. In the case of Detective Marchele Miller, her actions epitomize this abuse of authority, as she exploited her position to suppress vital information that could have potentially exonerated innocent individuals. Ironically, the federal statute requires a 5-20 year prison sentence for this kind of violation.

Phoenix’s Police Oversight Agency Struggles Amid City Interference

The Office of Accountability and Transparency (OAT) in Phoenix faced internal challenges as city officials undermined its independence, leading to the resignation of its director, Roger Smith. Despite public claims of robust oversight, documents reveal city officials’ efforts to control OAT’s operations, including blocking the hiring of an experienced attorney, Catherine Bowman. Smith’s departure highlighted ongoing tensions between city leadership and efforts for meaningful police accountability.

Phoenix Police Chief Defends Force Amidst Fatal Shooting

Amidst an orchestrated media campaign by Phoenix Police Chief Michael Sullivan defending the department against federal oversight, officers shot and killed a man, marking the second fatal police shooting in six days. The city’s pushback against a Justice Department investigation into use of force highlights ongoing tensions between law enforcement and calls for accountability. Yet, interesting that a so-called Law Enforcement Officer in leadership does not recognize the ‘supreme Law of the Land’ of the Federal Government, but believes that he and the PPD can subjugate those in the City Of Phoenix to local laws with severe pains, penalties, and punishment inducing a life of trauma and tragedy.

DOJ Launches Investigation into Phoenix Police Misconduct

The U.S. Department of Justice initiates a comprehensive probe into the Phoenix Police Department and the city of Phoenix over allegations of misconduct, including excessive force and retaliation against protesters. Attorney General Merrick Garland and Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke announced the investigation, which will scrutinize various aspects of police conduct, including use of force, discriminatory policing, and treatment of individuals experiencing homelessness. The probe follows a series of controversies, including a crackdown on protests and a high number of police shootings, raising concerns about civil rights violations and accountability within the department.

Just recently the FBI arrested a Phoenix police officer on April 5 for allegedly receiving and possessing thousands of images and videos of child pornography. Gilbert resident Alaa Robert Bartley, 41, was indicted three days later by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona. He was charged with one count of receiving child pornography and one count of knowingly possessing child pornography.Bartley faces a sentence of five years to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on the receiving charge. The possession charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years, or 20 years if the pornography depicts a minor who is not yet 12, as well as a fine of up to $250,000.

Pursuing Justice: Advocating for Reform

But my pursuit of justice does not end with exposing the misconduct of the PPD; it extends to holding those responsible accountable for their actions. Through my legal human rights advocacy, Premise GSE, I aim to shed light on the injustices perpetrated by the PPD and advocate for meaningful reform within the department.

Join the Fight: Standing Up Against Injustice

Transparency and accountability are the cornerstones of a fair and just society. By shining a spotlight on the actions of Detective Miller and others like her, we can begin to dismantle the culture of impunity that has long plagued the PPD. It is time to demand accountability from those sworn to protect and serve, and to ensure that justice is truly blind. As I continue to fight for my own rights and seek redress for the injustices I have endured, I invite others to join me in holding the Phoenix Police Department accountable. Together, we can strive towards a future where the law is upheld with integrity and fairness, and where no one is above the law, not even those sworn to enforce it.

Until next time,

I Am,

Belizean Government’s Failures: A Call for Accountability

Introduction: Recognizing the Pattern

As a proud Belizean, it pains me deeply to witness the continuous neglect and incompetence displayed by our government in fulfilling its responsibilities to protect and serve its citizens. From the tenure of George Price, our first Prime Minister, to the present day, the pattern of leadership failures remains apparent, leaving many of us disillusioned and frustrated.

Healthcare Crisis: Lives Hang in the Balance

One of the most glaring examples of this negligence is the state of our healthcare system. Despite promises of improvement, many Belizeans still lack access to adequate medical care, leading to unnecessary suffering and loss of life. Basic infrastructure, equipment, and staffing shortages plague our hospitals and clinics, leaving citizens vulnerable and underserved.

On a personal note, I suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns to both my legs about 2 months ago. I was taken to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital and treated at the Emergency Room. Maybe because it was a Saturday night, I was treated immediately and taken care of with such great hospitality that I was overwhelmed with gratitude. My E.R. bill was $0, other than the prescriptions. I myself could not believe it. I know if I was in the United States, my bill would have been around $25,000.00 USD. Below are the images of my legs.

I suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns and was rushed to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital.

Treatment of antibiotic, ibuprofen and lots of aloe vera. (No Opiates)

My skin color is even coming back as if I never had a burn injury.

Education System: Failing Our Future Generations

Furthermore, the education sector has been a victim of chronic underinvestment and mismanagement. Our children, the future of Belize, are deprived of quality education due to inadequate resources and substandard facilities. It’s disheartening to see the potential of our youth stifled by a system that fails to provide them with the tools they need to succeed.

Economic Stagnation: Opportunities Lost

Economic opportunities are also limited for many Belizeans, particularly those in rural areas. Despite our abundance of natural resources, unemployment rates remain high, and poverty persists. The government’s failure to implement sustainable development initiatives and support small businesses exacerbates these socioeconomic challenges, leaving many families struggling to make ends meet.

Corruption and Trust Deficit: Undermining Democracy

Additionally, concerns about corruption within the government persistently undermine public trust and confidence. Allegations of bribery, embezzlement, and nepotism tarnish the integrity of our democratic institutions and hinder progress towards a more just and equitable society.

As a response to this pressing issue, my company, Skyview A.I. GSE, has developed an innovative artificial intelligence technology called Oversight. This groundbreaking application utilizes advanced algorithms and data analytics to monitor behaviors within government agencies, identifying potential instances of corruption or unethical conduct among public officials.

Oversight serves as a vital tool in holding government employees accountable for their actions, promoting transparency and integrity within our democratic processes. By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence, we aim to combat corruption and restore public trust in our institutions, paving the way for a more accountable and ethical governance framework.

Conclusion: Demanding Change

It’s time for accountability. We cannot continue to accept mediocrity from our leaders while our country languishes in neglect. As citizens, we must demand transparency, integrity, and genuine commitment to the common good from those in positions of power.

While the road ahead may seem daunting, I remain hopeful that Belizeans will come together to demand the change we deserve. By holding our leaders accountable and actively participating in the democratic process, we can strive towards a brighter future for Belize.

Let us not forget the words of George Price himself, who famously said, “Independence is not a gift. Independence is a challenge.” It is time for us to rise to that challenge and demand better for our beloved Belize.

“Independence is not a gift. Independence is a challenge.”

Embracing China’s Ascent: Navigating the 21st Century’s New Landscape

“No amount of media propaganda can change the reality that the 21st Century belongs to China.”

Ewing r. samuels III

The 20th Century: America’s Era of Dominance

Reflecting on history, it’s evident that the 20th century belonged indisputably to the United States. With its economic prowess, military might, and cultural influence, the U.S. dominated the global landscape, shaping the world in its image.

China’s Meteoric Rise

As we stand on the precipice of a new era, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the dynamics of power are shifting, and the winds of change are blowing in China’s favor. China’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. In just a few decades, it has transformed from a primarily agrarian society into an economic juggernaut, boasting the world’s second-largest economy.

Challenging the Media Narrative: Myth versus Reality

But what about the media narrative that often portrays China’s rise as a threat to the established world order? Let’s call it what it is: propaganda. Yes, there are legitimate concerns and challenges that come with China’s ascendance, including issues of human rights, geopolitical tensions, and economic competition. However, it’s crucial to put these concerns into perspective. And remember the ‘established world order‘ is not for the benefit of all, but a chosen few.

A History of Hypocrisy: Lessons from the Past

When we examine history, it’s essential to acknowledge that no nation is without fault. The United States and the United Kingdom, for example, were never initially feared as threats, yet they introduced slavery (Afrikans), genocide (Native Americans), torture (prisoners), wars with nuclear bombs (Hiroshima and Nagasaki), and nefarious activities against sovereign peoples. In contrast, China has no history of such actions on a global scale.

Personal Reflection: My Experience in the Global Context

As someone who has experienced the complexities of global power dynamics firsthand, I can attest to the fact that neither I nor my family have ever been violated by any Chinese individuals in my entire lifetime. My case serves as a reminder that geopolitical tensions should not overshadow the shared humanity that binds us all.

In the I.C.E. facility (CORE CIVIC) in Eloy, Arizona, I witnessed hundreds of Chinese, Afrikans, and Middle Easterners being violated, only because of being from ‘elsewhere‘. I became friends with a Chinese man, named Mr. Shue, only because I speak a little Mandarin-Chinese, and the facility for the U.S. government provided him no translator for assistance. I told the facilities supervisor that Mr. Shue had diabetes numerous times, and they ignored him countless times, until he had a ‘code red’ on the recreation field, dealing with 115 degree Arizona heat.

Mr. Shue died in Eloy, Arizona in 2023.

Embracing Change: Opportunities for Collaboration

Instead of succumbing to fear-mongering and xenophobia, we should recognize the inevitability of China’s rise and seek to understand its implications. Embracing China’s emergence as a global powerhouse opens up a world of opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and progress.

Shaping a Collective Future

As we look ahead, it’s essential to acknowledge that the 21st century is not a zero-sum game. China’s rise does not automatically spell the decline of the United States or any other nation. Rather, it signals a shifting paradigm in which multiple powers coexist and cooperate on the world stage.

Conclusion: Building a Harmonious World

In conclusion, the 21st century belongs to China, just as the 20th century belonged to the United States. No amount of media propaganda can change that reality. But instead of fearing this change, let’s embrace it as an opportunity to build a more interconnected, prosperous, and harmonious world.

Thank you for joining me on this journey of exploration and discovery. Until next time…

The Purpose of Government: Upholding Integrity in the Face of Corruption

 150 150 vprxncte
By:

Introduction

As citizens, we entrust our governments with the solemn responsibility of safeguarding our rights, ensuring justice, and promoting the common good. However, what happens when those entrusted with power betray that trust? When corruption festers within the corridors of authority, it not only erodes the foundation of democracy but also undermines the very purpose of government itself.

The Core Purpose of Government

Throughout history, governments have been established to serve the people, to provide for their welfare, and to maintain order in society. The social contract between citizens and their government is based on the mutual understanding that power will be wielded responsibly and in the best interest of all.

The Impact of Corruption

Yet, when officials succumb to the temptations of corruption, when they prioritize personal gain over the well-being of their constituents, the fabric of society begins to unravel. Corruption breeds mistrust, cynicism, and disillusionment among the populace. It perpetuates inequality, stifles economic growth, and undermines the rule of law.

The Tactic of “Divide and Conquer”

Moreover, when corruption is allowed to thrive unchecked, it often employs the insidious tactic of “divide and conquer.” By pitting communities against each other, by sowing seeds of discord and resentment, corrupt officials seek to maintain their grip on power. They exploit divisions along lines of race, class, religion, or ideology, weakening the collective strength of the people.

Demanding Accountability and Transparency

In the face of such challenges, it falls upon the shoulders of conscientious citizens to demand accountability and transparency from their government. We must hold our elected representatives accountable for their actions, and we must insist on reforms that strengthen democratic institutions and root out corruption at all levels of government.

Upholding Values of Governance

Transparency, accountability, and integrity must be the guiding principles of governance. Only by upholding these values can governments fulfill their true purpose: to serve the people, protect their rights, and promote the common good.

A Case of Institutional Betrayal

Consider the recent case in Phoenix, where the former Maricopa County prosecutor, April Sponsel, falsely indicted innocent protesters with gang-related charges in 2020. This egregious abuse of power not only resulted in the wrongful persecution of individuals exercising their right to protest but also tarnished the reputation of the justice system.

Sponsel’s actions, characterized by a “disturbing pattern of excessive charging,” led to her dismissal from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in June of 2022. Her failure to review available evidence and her refusal to acknowledge any wrongdoing demonstrate a blatant disregard for justice and integrity. And yet, it was the Maricopa County Attorney Office who bred, nourished and trained her how to do what she was doing, until caught red-handed.

This is the same exact office that obtained an indictment, took me to trial and convicted me on hearsay, fabricated evidence, perjury, subornation, covered-up the kidnapping of my son, covered-up the murder of Royce Emmett Walker on May 21,2015, fraudulent concealment of impeachment and exculpatory evidence and deliberate and intentional violations of due process, and way too many to list here. People’s lives are being damaged by corrupt officials in the State of Arizona.

Where is the federal government in all of this when a state authority commits state abuse of power?

Below is an ORDER of what April Sponsel did and the “sanctions” delivered by the Judge:

sponsel-decision-and-order-imposing-sanctions-pdj-2023-9018Download

The suspension of Sponsel’s law license for at least two years is a testament to the far-reaching and deleterious consequences of her actions. As noted by the presiding judge, her misconduct damaged morale within the office and painted it as lacking integrity. This betrayal of trust not only undermines the public’s faith in the justice system but also perpetuates a culture of impunity among those in power.

Conclusion

As we navigate the complexities of the modern world, let us remain vigilant in our commitment to justice and democracy. Let us strive to build a society where the purpose of government is not overshadowed by corruption, but rather, where it shines brightly as a beacon of hope and progress for all.

Navigating the Herd Mentality: The NEED For Critical Thinking & Logical Reasoning

 150 150 vprxncte
By:

Introduction

Today I want to delve into a topic that’s been weighing heavily on my mind: the decline of critical thinking in today’s society. In an age where information bombards us from every angle, it’s more crucial than ever to sharpen our ability to think critically and reason logically. Yet, it seems that herd mentality often prevails, leading many astray like sheep to the slaughter.

Understanding Herd Mentality

What exactly do I mean by herd mentality? It’s the phenomenon where individuals tend to conform to the behaviors, beliefs, and opinions of the majority, often without questioning or analyzing them. It’s also known as the bandwagon effect. This conformity can be comforting, as it provides a sense of belonging and security. However, it can also be dangerous, as it blinds us to alternative perspectives and leaves us vulnerable to manipulation and misinformation.

The Challenge of Information Overload

In today’s hyper-connected world, we’re inundated with information from social media, news outlets, and other sources. While this abundance of information can be empowering, it also presents a challenge: how do we separate fact from fiction, truth from propaganda?

The Role of Critical Thinking

The answer lies in cultivating our critical thinking skills. Critical thinking involves actively and skillfully evaluating information, arguments, and evidence to make informed decisions. It’s about questioning assumptions, challenging beliefs, and approaching issues with an open mind.

Obstacles to Critical Thinking

Unfortunately, critical thinking seems to be in short supply these days. Instead, we’re bombarded with sensationalist headlines, echo chambers that reinforce our existing beliefs, and soundbites designed to manipulate rather than inform.

Implications in Real-Life Situations

Take, for example, my own case. In my experience, I’ve seen firsthand how the absence of critical thinking and logical reasoning can lead to serious consequences. When individuals blindly follow the herd, without questioning the validity of the information presented to them, it can result in grave injustices. Not only does this impact the individual directly involved, but it also implicates the entire system that failed to uphold principles of fairness and justice. Below is evindence of FRAUD, KIDNAPPING, and CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY committed by the State of Arizona and its legal authorities. Under universal jurisdiction and both federal and international laws, the crimes committed are subject to 20 years to life in prison. The State of Arizona cannot be taken serious when it covered up the death of Royce Emmett Walker on May 21, 2015 and the very same murder suspect Jamil Trevon Curd was given immunity to testify against me. While Detective Marchele Miller the case manager went to grave lengths to push a narrative that was based on deception. And increasing the errors a thousandfold was the deliberate violations of ommitting material facts, concealing impeachment and exculpatory evidence,perjury, subornation, and too much to list…conducted by William Montgomery, David Foster and Lori Eidemenis of the Maricopa County Attorney Office in a ‘court of law’. Then the Court itself, of George H. Foster, Jr. and the Superior Court of Maricopa County is allowed to continue intentional violations to cover up State authorities crimes, with ORDERS from the court with no real adequate investigation into the facts thereof, but to attain, maintain, and sustain convictions on technicalities rather than merits.

Strategies for Improvement

So, what can we do to combat this trend? First and foremost, we must become more mindful consumers of information. This means taking the time to verify sources, cross-check information, and seek out diverse perspectives. It also means being willing to admit when we’re wrong and adjust our beliefs accordingly.

The Importance of Education

Furthermore, we need to teach critical thinking skills from an early age. Education systems should prioritize teaching students how to think, not what to think. By instilling a foundation of logic, reasoning, and skepticism, we can empower the next generation to navigate the complexities of the modern world with clarity and confidence.

The Power of Independent Thought

But perhaps most importantly, we must be willing to think for ourselves. It’s easy to succumb to the pressure of the crowd, to follow the path of least resistance. But true wisdom lies in forging our own path, even if it means standing alone against the tide.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the rise of herd mentality in today’s society is a cause for concern. But it’s not too late to turn the tide. By prioritizing critical thinking and logical reasoning, we can reclaim our autonomy, challenge the status quo, and build a brighter future for generations to come.

Until next time,

I am,

U.S. Human Rights Landscape: Insights from the 2023 GRIP Annual Report

Introduction

In an era where the narrative of American exceptionalism often pervades, it’s imperative to scrutinize the nation’s performance on a global scale, especially concerning human rights. The recently released 2023 GRIP Annual Report, a collaborative effort between the Global Rights Project (GRIP) and the CIRIGHTS data project, offers a sobering evaluation of the United States’ commitment to human rights.

Assessing America’s Standing

The report, which evaluates 195 countries across various human rights metrics, paints a nuanced picture of America’s standing in the world. Divided into four categories—physical integrity, empowerment, worker rights, and justice rights—the assessment aims to provide a comprehensive overview of each nation’s adherence to fundamental human rights principles.

A Closer Look at Challenges

Regrettably, the findings reveal a widespread disregard for human rights globally, with 60% of countries receiving failing grades. In this landscape, the United States narrowly avoided a failing grade, scoring a 64 and ranking 59th overall. While this may seem favorable compared to some nations, it underscores significant room for improvement within America’s human rights framework.

One of the report’s focal points is the discrepancy between America’s perceived strengths in civil and political rights and its shortcomings in other areas. Specifically, issues such as torture, extrajudicial killings, and labor rights highlight areas of concern. Law enforcement’s use of interrogation techniques bordering on torture and the disproportionate use of lethal force against black Americans underscore systemic issues that demand urgent attention.

Connecting Personal Experience to the Larger Context

As we absorb these findings, it’s essential to reflect on how they resonate with individual experiences. In my case, as someone who has faced egregious and flagrant violations of fundamental rights and due process within the U.S. legal system, this report strikes a particularly poignant chord. I have endured due process violations, fraud against me, the kidnapping of my 5 year old child, state authorities engaged in perjury in courts against me, deception to paint a picture that never existed and still doesn’t exist, overt racism, poisoned while incarcerated, denial of medical care while incarcerated, assaulted by correctional officer while in Florence, Arizona, placed in a dog cage all day, deplorable living conditions, torture, witnessing law enforcement smuggle drugs and phones in prison, and witnessing multiple murders while I was in prison. And NO, I will never help any law enforcement with what I have seen.

My wrongful and unlawful conviction served as a stark reminder of the imperfections within America’s justice system. It exemplifies how individuals can become ensnared in a system that, despite its professed commitment to human rights, can perpetuate injustice and deny individuals their fundamental rights.

A Call for Vigilance and Accountability

In light of these revelations, it becomes evident that the U.S. government cannot be trusted with more significant matters if fundamental human rights are not safeguarded at home. The need for transparency, accountability, and a steadfast commitment to upholding human rights cannot be overstated. Only through collective vigilance and concerted efforts can we hold our institutions accountable and ensure that justice prevails for all.

Finding Hope Amidst Challenges

Despite these challenges, the report offers a glimmer of optimism by positioning the United States favorably compared to other populous countries and geopolitical rivals. While not without flaws, America’s relatively stronger performance in certain human rights indicators serves as a testament to the enduring values enshrined in its founding principles. Yet the country is seeing a downward spiral with clear knowledge of violating human rights on account of race, color, sex, religion, and national origin.

Moving Forward Together

As we reflect on these findings, it’s crucial to recognize that human rights progress is not linear. The report’s insights serve as a call to action for policymakers, activists, and citizens alike to redouble their efforts in upholding and advancing human rights both domestically and globally.

In closing, let us heed the words of Skip Mark, director of the Center for Nonviolence and Peace Studies, who aptly remarked, “There’s a lot of work to do in terms of ensuring that all people have a chance to live a life of dignity and respect.” Together, let us strive to build a world where human rights are not just an aspiration but a lived reality for all.

The Hidden Truth: When Love Conceals a Sordid Past

Unveiling Deception: A Betrayal of Trust

In matters of the heart, we often find ourselves entranced by the allure of love, drawn to another soul in a way that feels almost inevitable. We open our hearts, share our vulnerabilities, and believe in the promise of a future intertwined with our beloved. However, what happens when that future is built upon a foundation of secrets and unspoken truths?

The Shattering Revelation: A Personal Journey

In my own experience, I found myself entangled in a relationship where the surface appeared pristine, but beneath lay a web of deception. My romantic partner, whom I trusted implicitly, failed to disclose a past marred by a criminal history and an arrest record. It was a revelation that shattered the illusions I had constructed, leaving me reeling with disbelief and a profound sense of betrayal. Theft, criminal damage, domestic violence, alcoholism, interference with judicial proceedings, aggravated assault was all overwhelming as I learned of this information 2 years after my incarceration, while in prison. Nowhere in our 4 year relationship did this Jezebel mentioned any of this, yet she was 10 years older than I. Maybe I was naive?

Prior to meeting these two individuals, I have never had any criminal history nor arrest record.

Hidden Histories: The Impact Beyond Ourselves

But perhaps even more distressing was the discovery that my partner’s 24 year old son, Jamil Trevon Curd, shared a similar, if not more troubling, history. His own journey was fraught with challenges and poor choices, yet this crucial information remained concealed, casting a shadow of doubt over the authenticity of our relationship. It is even more disturbing that his own mother wanted to press charges on him for criminal conduct in her home.

The Ripple Effect: Community Perception and Self-Reflection

The ramifications of such revelations are far-reaching and deeply impactful. Trust, once broken, is not easily repaired. It erodes the very foundation upon which love is built, leaving behind a sense of insecurity and doubt that lingers long after the truth has been revealed. Moreover, the repercussions extend beyond the confines of our personal lives, affecting those around us in ways we may not fully comprehend. In my case, the implications of my partner’s hidden past reverberated through my community, tarnishing reputations and eliciting judgment from those who had once held us in high esteem.

Embracing Truth: A Journey of Resilience

But amidst the turmoil and heartache, there lies an opportunity for growth and introspection. It is a chance to reassess our priorities, redefine our boundaries, and reclaim our sense of agency in navigating the complexities of love and relationships. For me, this journey has been one of self-discovery and resilience. I refuse to be defined by the actions of others or constrained by the limitations of my past. Instead, I choose to embrace the truth, however painful it may be, and forge ahead with a renewed sense of purpose and determination.

Moving Forward: Honoring Authenticity

To those who find themselves grappling with similar circumstances, I offer this advice: Trust your instincts, honor your worth, and never compromise your integrity for the sake of love. True happiness lies in authenticity, transparency, and the unwavering commitment to living a life guided by truth and integrity.

Conclusion: Embracing Love’s Light

In closing, let us remember that love, though fragile, possesses the power to heal and transform even the most broken of hearts. But it is only when we confront the shadows of our past that we can truly embrace the light of a brighter tomorrow.

Defamation, Libel, and Slander: Unveiling the Truth Behind Injustice

Exposing the Deception: The Impact of Selective Publications

Today, I want to delve into a topic that strikes at the core of justice and integrity: defamation, libel, and slander. As a victim of these injustices myself, I stand firm in shedding light on how state authorities can misuse their power to tarnish reputations and undermine credibility. Yet it must be understood that these very same state authorities deliberately, knowingly, and intentionally engage in routine active fraudulent concealment and the omission of material facts, denying due process, not some of the time, but ALL OF THE TIME!

Unveiling the Truth: A Closer Look at Incomplete Narratives

In my case, I have faced a barrage of challenges stemming from a wrongful and unlawful conviction in the State of Arizona. Despite being released after 6.5 years of incarceration, the ordeal did not end there. Upon my return to Belize, I discovered a web of publications scattered across various websites, each presenting fragments of the case without the full truth. These publications were not only misleading but also intentionally crafted to harm my reputation and credibility.

Standing Against Injustice: The Power of Accountability

The dissemination of incomplete and biased information has profound consequences. It not only erodes trust but also perpetuates misconceptions and prejudices. As someone deeply committed to upholding truth and justice, I refuse to let these falsehoods stand unchallenged.

Shedding Light on the Facts: Holding the Responsible Accountable

Let’s address the facts:

  1. Wrongful Conviction: On February 2, 2017, I was convicted under circumstances marred by injustice. Despite evidence pointing to my innocence, the legal system failed to deliver a fair trial.
  2. Incomplete Publications: Multiple websites have hosted documents related to my case, yet they only present partial information. This selective sharing not only distorts the narrative but also serves to defame my character.
  3. Damage to Reputation: The repercussions of these publications extend far beyond personal grievances. They impede my ability to rebuild my life and pursue justice for the injustices I’ve endured.

Advocating for Truth and Justice: A Call to Action

It’s crucial to hold accountable those responsible for perpetuating these falsehoods. By exposing the truth and demanding accountability, we pave the way for a more just and equitable society.

Utilizing Technology for Justice: Skyview A.I.’s Groundbreaking Contribution

In this pursuit of truth, my company, Skyview A.I. GSE, has developed a groundbreaking artificial intelligence application called Oversight. Oversight aids in uncovering blatant disregard of facts, assisting prosecuting attorneys in charging those ‘cloaked under color of law’ with crimes and human rights violations under universal jurisdiction. This innovative technology is a beacon of hope for those seeking accountability and justice in the face of systemic injustices.

Seeking Justice: Taking a Stand Against Injustice

Here are some of the websites hosting documents pertaining to my case:

  1. Website 1: https://casetext.com/case/state-v-samuels-72
  2. Website 2: https://law.justia.com/cases/arizona/court-of-appeals-division-one-unpublished/2018/1-ca-cr-17-0225.html

  6. Website 6: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-9th-circuit/2112631.html

While these publications may attempt to distort reality, I remain steadfast in my pursuit of truth and justice. With irrefutable evidence and unwavering determination, I am confident that justice will prevail. It is clear that the “authorities’ listed in these cases are armed with the power of a government with unlimited resources, and most people with this kind of power commit atrocties under the cloak, guise and color of law.

One must remember that even Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in power in Germany in the 1940s were arresting, detaining, imprisoning, deporting and executing individuals under the “color of law“. It was all deemed Legal. at that time. It is also very disturbing that some of these JEWISH descendants (prosecutors, judges, attorneys) in the courts are committing the very same atrocities against black and brown people with the power of their offices in the United States of America, that they constantly claim occurred to their own grandparents in Nazi Germany in the Holocaust. They know what racism is. They know what white supremacy is. They know exactly what they are doing!

Together We Stand: Uniting Against Falsehoods

In closing, I urge you to remain vigilant against misinformation and to stand with me in the fight against defamation, libel, and slander. Together, we can strive for a world where truth triumphs over falsehoods and justice prevails for all.

Thank you for your unwavering support,

Ewing Samuels
