ARE WE HAVING FUN YET? I allege the Minnesota Judiciary is pulling out all of the Stops to deny my allegations of Obstruction of Justice, RICO, etc.&amp;nbsp; This series of letters allow the average Minnesota Citizen a Glimpse into the workings of the Corrupt and Criminal Minnesota Judiciary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the last six years the Minnesota House and Senate Judiciary Committees would not allow hundreds of Minnesota Citizens to present evidence and testimony of corruption in the Minnesota Judiciary.&amp;nbsp; The Right to Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances is guaranteed by the 1st Amendment of the Federal Constitution, but apparently not in Minnesota.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, any time the Judges wanted a hearing on their bill to take aware our Constitutional Rights to vote for Minnesota Judges in meaningful, contested elections, the Minnesota Legislature betrayed WE THE PEOPLE and invited the Judges in for a Mutual Admiration Society Session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Minnesota Judiciary has unlawfully retaliated against me by using a case that I am a Plaintiff in to exact their revenge.&amp;nbsp; They fixed this case against me by using Simulated Litigation and Fact Shaping...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But enough background, I think the series of letters is more entertaining and insightful.....&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Hello:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Due to the 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of July, &amp;nbsp;3 day weekend, I did not receive you letter until today. I called this morning only to find out the that Minnesota Judiciary is punishing Minnesota Citizens for not paying enough taxes by not answering phones on Tuesdays until the afternoon.&amp;nbsp; And then in the afternoon the phone was busy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;I begin by asking 9 questions that I expect answered to so I can share them on the internet with my fellow citizens:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 1.0in;

mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;2)&lt;span style="font: 7pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Does the Minnesota Judiciary Subscribe to an absolute standard of morality or a relative moral standard of “Plausible Deniability”?;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;3)&lt;span style="font: 7pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Is it a standard ploy of the Judiciary to avoid phone calls from Pro Se litigants so they can lose by missing deadlines or not filing forms?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;4)&lt;span style="font: 7pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Are you going to tell me what alleged form I am missing regarding appeals or at least cite the Rule so I can find it.;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;5)&lt;span style="font: 7pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Is it true that you judges like to trip Pro Se Litigants up on the rules so they can’t win?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;6)&lt;span style="font: 7pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Is it true that once a year, usually at an expensive resort on Lake Mille Lacs, that the Minnesota Judiciary has a seminar essentially on “How to screw Pro Se litigants?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;7)&lt;span style="font: 7pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;After reading the undeniable true facts, please explain how you could get the facts in this matter so wrong;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;8)&lt;span style="font: 7pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Is the delay caused by the Court not returning my calls and in the Court Reporters not producing the transcripts, a strategy to allow the Appellate Court (or any other Court) to Rule against me for missing deadlines, overwhelming me so I make legal mistakes and/or to allow me to get tripped up on technicalities?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;9)&lt;span style="font: 7pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Is it your intention to aid and abet the criminal obstruction of justice (RICO) which is happening to me personally through unlawful, Simulated Litigation?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;7)&lt;span style="font: 7pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;YoYour bogus facts are far off base.&amp;nbsp; For months now, I have asked for the transcripts in question.&amp;nbsp; Judge Yunker’s recorder and her legal aid would not return my calls.&amp;nbsp; I made a motion to the lower Court for an IFP of the expenses for the transcripts.&amp;nbsp; When that remained unanswered, I made a motion to the Appellate Court to compel the lower Court to Rule on the IFP and to provide me with the transcripts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Past transcripts that I had paid these same 2 Court Recorders to provide took 10-14 days.&amp;nbsp; I see no reason, except graft, corruption and cover-up, why these transcripts should take twice as long or more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Further, you misstate that I was not told when I could expect the transcripts.&amp;nbsp; Both Court Reporters told me&amp;nbsp; 10 -14 days.&amp;nbsp; I have the voice mail recording of one of them saying just that.&amp;nbsp; So which one of them lied to you?&amp;nbsp; Isn’t that the basis for immediate termination?&amp;nbsp; Or do you reward court personnel who know when its time to lie?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Further, on June 9&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 2011 the Court issued an order approving the IFP request for the transcripts.&amp;nbsp; Are you still saying that despite said Court order I have to not complied with some Appellate Court Transcript Notice?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Are you telling me I cannot expect these transcripts anytime soon?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Are you telling, that despite the lower Court order, I will not be receiving these transcripts until I say the legal equivalent of “Simon Says” by submitting this Appellate Transcript Request form?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
What punitive actions towards will you be taking against the Court and the Judicial Personnel who have obviously lied to you?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please answer all the questions I have posed in writing, within 24 hours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I want to be fair.&amp;nbsp; I will post your response next to this letter on the letter on the internet, and let the rest of Minnesota Judge for them selves.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And I will treat your failure to answer any of my questions in this letter the way you Judges do.&amp;nbsp; Your failure to respond will be interpreted to mean that your truthful answers to these questions would be detrimental to your position and reflect poorly the public’s perception of the Integrity of the Minnesota Judiciary. Is this clear to you?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is a letter I received back form MN 10th Judicial District Assistant Chief Judge Hoffman.&amp;nbsp; This is in response to the letter, just previous to this letter on this blog, demanding the transcripts that I say demonstrate Obstruction of Justice.&amp;nbsp; I allege our Minnesota Judiciary is participating in a Coverup. When these transcripts are finally made available, they will demonstrate what I call fixing cases by "fact shaping" and others call "Simulated Litigation" Please read the letter that comes before and after this letter so you get a flavor of the criminal conspiracy and coverup our Minnesota Judiciary is participating in.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt;"&gt;THIS IS A DEMAND FOR IMMEDIATE POSSESSION OF THE 2 TRANSCRIPTS REFERENCED IN THE EARLIER COMMUNICATION TODAY.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt;"&gt;Ms.  Wilde told me 10 days to 2 weeks. That would have been on or before  6/23/2011. The previous transcripts I have requested from her in this  same manner were produced in that similar time frame.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt;"&gt;Ms. Wilde now has some excuse why she cannot produce the document in a timely fashion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt;"&gt;Based  on that conversation, my perception of reality is that this is anther  elaborate simulated litigation ruse… A furtherance of the original fraud  and conspiracy. I have dealt with crooked courts enough to sense when  some back door screwing is coming to me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt;"&gt;I need the transcripts for pleadings and responses, IMMEDIATELY.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt;"&gt;No more excuses. No more Weasel suits. No More Lies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt;"&gt;I WANT THE TRANSCRIPTS NOW… DON’T CARE WHAT EXCUSES YOU MAKE… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt;"&gt;THEY ARE ALL JUST SOME PRETEXT TO UNJUSTLY SCREW ME BY THE RULES OR SOME OTHER LEGAL CHICANERY. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt;"&gt;THIS SHOULD BE A CRIMINAL MATTER.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt;"&gt;I WILL NOT BE SCREWED YET ANOTHER TIME BY THE COURTS, BECAUSE I WRONGFULLY TRUST ANYTHING ANY OF YOU SAY.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Thank you for your time and prompt response to this request.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;On  or about June 8, 2011, the Sherburne Court granted my IFP request for 2  transcripts, one or about 12/29/2010 and the other on or about 1/9/11,  for use in the appeal and related litigation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;On that same day I contact the two involved Court Reporters Brenda Wilde and Jennifer Sati.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Both indicated it would be a couple of weeks before they would have the transcripts in about 2 weeks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;When I recently called to inquire where they were, I got voicemail for both and left &amp;nbsp;messages.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Today  I listened to an incoming voice mail from Brenda Wilde, time stamped  5:39pm yesterday, indicating she would not have the transcript she was  responsible for until July 18, 2011. And indicating she would be out of  the office until July 8, 2011.By my calculations, 2 weeks from on or  about June 8, 2011 would be June 22, 2011, certainly not July 18, 2011.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;This appears to be a deliberate delay. 40 days to get a transcript?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;This is unacceptable.&amp;nbsp; I have pleadings and responses to prepare under deadline.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;I respectfully request that I have said transcripts by the end of this week and move the Court to so order.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Thank you for your time and prompt response to this request.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is a teaser for an article I wrote on Examiner.com:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SioCQbQQNbQ/TggIJCBGBOI/AAAAAAAAChQ/I4hueOaVpQA/s1600/driverslicensewithMNGovernmentShutdown230x170.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SioCQbQQNbQ/TggIJCBGBOI/AAAAAAAAChQ/I4hueOaVpQA/s1600/driverslicensewithMNGovernmentShutdown230x170.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;"WE THE PEOPLE of Minnesota have this to say about our State Government’s latest proposed Government shutdown hit list.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Hey you tyrannical #Minnesota #Politicians - If Drivers licenses,  Fishing licenses, Hunting Licenses and Motor vehicle plates are not  essential, by your own admissions, then lets take this opportunity to  repeal all those laws requiring them.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;How dare you follow Edward Bernays style Propaganda techniques &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/hkXgr0" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://bit.ly/hkXgr0&lt;/a&gt; to terrorize #WETHEPEOPLE into agreeing to more taxes by morbidly instilling fear in all of us? &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/kbdJgO" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://bit.ly/kbdJgO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Who are you people? You cannot be my countrymen? Nor are you  patriots;&amp;nbsp; You are acting like selfish, ruthless, non-compassionate  tyrannical Monsters.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND that you dirty, rotten tyrants of both major  political parties and bureaucrat apparatchik accomplice henchmen stop  playing politics on the backs and emotions of WE THE PEOPLE, your  constituents.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;WE THE PEOPLE are not your subjects! WE THE PEOPLE are the Sovereigns  of our State and Country.&amp;nbsp; You are supposed to be our Public Servants  representing us, not Ruling Class Tyrants terrorizing us into  subjugation.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Why are WE THE PEOPLE so enraged? How many cuts are you proposing  that are counter-intuitive to common sense? How darn ignorant is it that  you shut down "user fee" backed portions of the government?..."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Thank you for taking the time to read and reflect upon what i have written.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write this article with the same intentions as Thomas Paine &lt;a href="http://ushistory.org/paine" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://ushistory.org/paine&lt;/a&gt;. I seek no leadership role. I seek only to help the American People find their own way using their own “Common Sense” &lt;a href="http://amzn.to/kbRuar" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://amzn.to/kbRuar&lt;/a&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those were my thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;

This is a teaser to an article i wrote on Examiner.com"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"Proverbs 23:7a, "As a person thinketh in their heart, so are they." &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/lOnOzU" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://bit.ly/lOnOzU&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DxNQWtSvGCM/Tge5cGKpW-I/AAAAAAAAChM/LytH8_6_wmU/s1600/HobbesvsLocke.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DxNQWtSvGCM/Tge5cGKpW-I/AAAAAAAAChM/LytH8_6_wmU/s1600/HobbesvsLocke.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;On Twitter.com, there is an atmosphere of constructive intellectual  exchange that challenges and causes each of us to think about why we  believe what we believe.&amp;nbsp;The internet represents a similar component of  technological advance as Movable Type did to the First Enlightenment*  (1650AD-1800AD). &amp;nbsp;Twitter.com, Facebook.com and MySpace.com are  analogous the coffeehouses and debating clubs of First Enlightenment.  Through these electronic forums, Information and Ideas are being freely  exchanged at a rate too fast for most governments to adapt to (for the  purpose of maintaining their own power and the status quo)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;One of my fellow Citizens and Patriots, responding to one of my  “tweets” suggested that a split was occurring amongst WE THE PEOPLE in  general and, in particular, those of us who take a greater interest in  Liberty, Freedom and Politics.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;My fellow citizen and cohort described this perceived split as  "Libertarian" vs "Conservative". Before I say more, I thank my said  cohort for bouncing their ideas off from me, so I would be inspired to  reflect upon what causes me to believe what I believe in this regard. I  hope that each of you are enlightened by our exchange of ideas...."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Thank you for taking the time to read and reflect upon what i have written.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write this article with the same intentions as Thomas Paine &lt;a href="http://ushistory.org/paine" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://ushistory.org/paine&lt;/a&gt;. I seek no leadership role. I seek only to help the American People find their own way using their own “Common Sense” &lt;a href="http://amzn.to/kbRuar" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://amzn.to/kbRuar&lt;/a&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those were my thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;CHILDHOOD MYTHS AND FANTASIES&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MqIJTgfQLJs/Tf34ls9DqRI/AAAAAAAAChA/oy8GaZK7-hw/s1600/reality-check.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MqIJTgfQLJs/Tf34ls9DqRI/AAAAAAAAChA/oy8GaZK7-hw/s320/reality-check.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"We  have a tradition in America of imparting to our children seemingly   harmless, fanciful perceptions of reality. The Tooth Fairy, the Easter   Bunny and Santa Claus are all fanciful myths aka manufactured false   perceptions of reality. &amp;nbsp;Almost all of us Americans fervently believed   at least one of these fantasies in our early lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Parents  and teachers and other people in our lives imparted to us  a belief in  these myths as being true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, we believe these stories  basically for  4 different reasons:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;At that age, we are less sophisticated and less able to discern truth from fiction.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And, regardless of our age, more likely believe something we  are told  when it told to us by people we trust and/or love.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Circumstantial evidence – Money replacing the teeth. Easter  Baskets on  Easter Morning.&amp;nbsp; Easter egg hunts at Church. The cookies and  milk we  set out for Santa were gone the next morning.&amp;nbsp; Jingle bells  outside of  the house at the appropriate time. Children’s Books dedicated  to the  subject. TV ads and programs espousing the existence of said  Santa  Claus, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The fictional perception of reality is more  desirable than  the alternative. In short, we want to believe because we  benefit or  perceive benefit from going along with the myth.&amp;nbsp; e.g.  money, candy,  gifts. And these myths also give us a nebulous, warm  fuzzy feeling and  sense of security. They made the world seem less  harsh and friendlier.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If we are honest with ourselves, we will  acknowledge that our  youthful “perception of reality” incorporated  unquestioning and absolute  belief in the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny  and/or Santa Claus.  Regardless of how easily we can disprove that  reality now, and how  ridiculous our belief in them seems on  retrospection, &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;we believed in  these myths at one point in our lives.  We accepted these myths as the  truth and they were our Reality.&amp;nbsp;  Through these myths, almost all  Americans share the experience of  believing in a perception of reality  that was never real, despite our  once fervent belief that they were.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And we did not easily give up  our beliefs in these myths. Even when  harsh reality was brought to our  attention some of desperately clung to  the fantasy...&amp;nbsp; I can remember  some kids in the school yard fighting  their peers who were the bearer  of bad news.&amp;nbsp; Others were more  restrained in their responses, waiting  to go home and check with a  trusted and reliable source, their  parents.&amp;nbsp; I did not want to believe  that my parents would believe me.&amp;nbsp;  And for those that clung to the myth,  there was the peer pressure of  being ridiculed and being called  immature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But once the  individual overcame their desire for their false  perception of reality  to be true, they very quickly came to realize the  discrepancies in the  myth.&amp;nbsp; For example, the impossibility of one single  person such as  Santa Claus delivering gifts to every household in one  night…&amp;nbsp; Or the  impossibility of reindeer and a sleigh defying the law of  gravity.&amp;nbsp;  They all seem so obvious in retrospect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, other myths and  mysteries of life don’t offer the same  absolute proof and closure as  the false perceptions of reality involving  Tooth Fairy, the Easter  Bunny and Santa Claus. And these myths,  fantasies, deceptions,  delusions and duplicities are far more injurious  than our childhood  fantasies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;PERCEPTION IS REALITY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Essentially,  each person’s perception of reality comes only from  their daily  interactions and cumulative inputs to their senses of sight,  sound,  smell, taste and touch. &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/8c3u" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://bit.ly/8c3u&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/aUAj3s" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://bit.ly/aUAj3s&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
With  that in mind, I ask you each to go back to that period of your  life  when you fervently believed in the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny  and  Santa Claus...."&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In their own words - Part 1 of 3</title><content type="html">This is a teaser from an article I wrote on Examiner.com:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OpjM5FIEt5w/TcnMYj64KuI/AAAAAAAACg0/Qv-2zkTT7ko/s1600/hear-no-evil_see-no-evil_speak-no-evil_monkeys300x225.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OpjM5FIEt5w/TcnMYj64KuI/AAAAAAAACg0/Qv-2zkTT7ko/s320/hear-no-evil_see-no-evil_speak-no-evil_monkeys300x225.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;From Public School, to church, to the movies and the major media and  elections themselves, the American public is induced to believe that the  Judges of America are men of integrity beyond reproach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So with all of those credentials and long years of propaganda and   censorship one faces a mighty steep mountain of  indoctrination,  propaganda and goodwill in exposing the true nature of  Minnesota and  the Country's Judiciary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the Judiciary's reputation reputation for integrity and honesty firmly  embedded in the minds of WE THE PEOPLE, what standing do I have to  challenge their reputations. In my estimate, what ever I might say would  be easily dismissed, for what is my word to the word of these  prestigious Judges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To overcome this handicap, I will use the American Legal Systems own words to expose the true nature of their character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us begin with the words of former FBI director J Edgar Hoover:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;"The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.''&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Whatever could the former director of the FBI, with all of the  domestic intelligence information at his disposal, have meant by such a  statement? I leave it to the reader to reach their own conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next, I am going to use the words of Judges themselves.&amp;nbsp; Judges have a  strange little way of reaching conclusions allegedly using case law and  jurisprudence. This effectively means they theoretically use the  findings of previous judges to base their decision on the current case.  Most of these rulings are reduced to short citations of a single  sentence or a paragraph along with the case caption and where it is  publicized (When judges do bad things and don't follow the law, they  just don't publish their rulings - You see the secret is, Judges just  censor from the general public most of the bad, unjust things they do.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I recently had cause to research various rulings on immunity for  Judges and State Governments.&amp;nbsp; And I was astonished and devastated to  learn the liberties they had taken and leaps of logic they had used to  write the rules in their favor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using their own words, the first case I will cite is Wiggins v Hess  (1976, CA8 Mo) 531 F2d 920 and Harley v Oliver (1976, CA9 Ark) 539 F2d  1143&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Judicial immunity applies &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;even when judge acts maliciously and corruptly&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;;  judge loses his immunity from liability for damages in violation of 42  USCS &amp;amp;1983 ONLY if he acts in clear absence of jurisdiction."...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;To read the rest of this article for free, please click here-&amp;gt;; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Government Corruption Video - So what have you learned as a legal intern?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/i2zfx3E4uyU" title="YouTube video player" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This video offers rare insight into the Systemic Corruption the pervades the American Legal System.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rather than force your children to learn this life lesson the hard way, perhaps it would be worthwhile for you to have this discussion with them. The perception of reality taught in Public Schools and the major media does not reflect reality and makes your children vulnerable to the Duplicity of our Government. May I humbly suggest that upon graduation or matriculation from High School or college, you watch this video with them and discuss your perception of reality with them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find more such videos on Government and Judicial Corruption on &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/USGovCorruption"&gt;YouTube.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find more information on Government and Judicial Corruption at &lt;a href="http://lawlessamerica.com/"&gt;Lawless America.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are interested in becoming involved in a non-partisan organization aimed at restoring &lt;a href="http://donmashaksanokacountymnfreepress.blogspot.com/2011/03/first-principles-people-are-equal-under.html"&gt;Transparency and Accountability&lt;/a&gt; to our Government, join us here on most Sundays from 4p-6p CT you can watch &lt;a href="http://shovio.com/"&gt;Government Reform and Integrity Platform TV&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lastly, if you still are not moved to action, I remind you that the rise of tyranny generally proceeds incrementally. More than a decade before he begain WWII, &lt;a href="http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/hitler-sent-to-landsberg-jail"&gt;Hitler was jailed and had no power to stop it&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Had the German people realized what was evolving, do you think they would have made sure he did not rise to power?&amp;nbsp; Hitler did not tell people his true intent.&amp;nbsp; Through &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0OrT-8gXMs"&gt;Progressive Edward Bernays&lt;/a&gt; style Propaganda and Censorship he treated treated the German people as a herd by appealing to their &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ8ZvYNlxiM"&gt;feelings, fears and desires&lt;/a&gt;. And through various methods, Hitler consolidated his power and eventually, an almost invincible strangle-hold on the German empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tyrants do not generally reveal their true nature until they have consolidated their power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The point being, the time in now to act is before the rising tyranny in America has the time and opportunity to consolidate its power and establish its own seemingly invincible strangle-hold on WE THE PEOPLE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In closing, I write this article with the same intentions of &lt;a href="http://www.ushistory.org/paine/"&gt;Thomas Paine&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; I seek no leadership role, I seek only to help the American people find their own way using their own "&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Common-Sense-Thomas-Paine/dp/1936594218?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=dmashak@aol.com&amp;amp;link_code=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969"&gt;Common Sense&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/independent-in-minneapolis/don-mashak"&gt;Those were my thoughts&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The intention  being to get a lackadaisical or incompetent soldier to shape up and in  this particular case to get them the subject soldier to quit whining and  complaining over the heads of his superiors.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;In "A Few Good Men", the Code Red goes wrong because the target of  the Code Red dies of an undisclosed underlying pre-existing medial  condition...&amp;nbsp; And the cover up, is on until....&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Colonel Nathan Jessep roars "&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;You can't handle the truth&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;" [&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hGvQtumNAY" rel="nofollow"&gt;video clip&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;As you watch the video clip, please take note of the arrogant  attitude Colonel Jessup has in ruthlessly rationalizing and justifying  his actions and perspective of reality. If you get a chance to watch the  movie, pay heed to duplicity, machinations and subversive methods the  film portrays.

Your Corrupt  Minnesota Judiciary displays the same sanctimonious attitude and  utilizes the same heavy handed tactics when law abiding citizens  confront them about their corruption and abuse of power.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;That having been said, "&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Can YOU Handle the Truth?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;For a couple of years now, I have espoused the existence of a &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Minnesota Judicial Code Red&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Have you ever wondered why all those Incumbent Judges in Minnesota almost never have an opponent?...&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

And it may also be helpful in allowing the rank and file Citizens of other Countries in understanding the problems in theirs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;The fundamental understanding our US Founding Fathers had in drafting our constitution, is People under Natural Law have free will, and are not virtuous by nature. Therefore, governments must be constructed in anticipation of the nature of man. Acting on this knowledge, our Founding Fathers built into our Government and Constitution, various checks and balances.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amongst these checks and balances were transparency and  accountability. All of our problems today emanate from the slow,  persistent rolling back of the checks and balances, transparency  and accountability our Founding Fathers built into our Government  and Constitution.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; An explanation of the who, how, what and why  can be found in the attached email that I fortuitously recently received.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The attached email and its included links, are another example of someone else saying  something better than I could myself... I encourage the reader to follow the links to  that email author's website for a fuller understanding of the underlying principles and  out of respect for the author. It is important that we give credit where credit is due.  Such free thinkers are likely undercompensated for giving us insight into the roots of  the actual problem confronting our society and intuitive resolution there from.  &lt;br /&gt;

Subject: First Principles, Men Are Equal Under God &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What Would The Founders Think? has posted a new item, 'First Principles, Men Are&lt;br /&gt;
Equal Under God'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cato letter Nos. 59-60 argue that man’s freedom is given by God, and that all&lt;br /&gt;
men are equal in His sight.&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; Men, having been given free will, are not virtuous by nature and, acknowledging their imperfections, create governments so that they may live in safety and harmony together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the American Republic, the Founders said, that being the case, all men must &lt;br /&gt;
likewise be equal under the laws government creates.&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;However, governments, being&lt;br /&gt;
creations of men, are also imperfect.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Cato prescribes a way to keep government&lt;br /&gt;
from exceeding its mandate and trampling on the liberties of the governed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vId0qLpABT0/TXpr3L3m3bI/AAAAAAAACZs/Sa1jTN3g5wA/s1600/unprecedentedbudgetdeficits.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vId0qLpABT0/TXpr3L3m3bI/AAAAAAAACZs/Sa1jTN3g5wA/s400/unprecedentedbudgetdeficits.jpg" width="391" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"From now until the 2012 elections, I am going to write a series of  articles with the express purpose of trying to get the average reader to  "think outside of the box"&amp;nbsp; At the same time, I hope I am up to the  task of keeping the subject matter entertaining.&amp;nbsp; Before the next  election occurs, it is my hope to get WE THE PEOPLE aka the Common  person aka the General Public to experience a paradigm shift in their  thinking with regard to politics and voting.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Ultimately, I want to change your perception of reality to one that reflects &lt;u&gt;your own true thought processes&lt;/u&gt;.&amp;nbsp;  This as opposed to the your current perception of reality induced by  the propaganda, censorship and duplicity of America's Major Media,  Entertainment Industry, Big Business and our own alleged political  leaders.&amp;nbsp; All this with the goal of having you vote your own mind,  rather than vote in the manner your Government and major media have  manipulated you to.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;That having been said....&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;I was first introduced to Chaos theory in college.&amp;nbsp; It was one of  those hazy late night philosophical discussions we often had in  college.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rationality.net/freewill.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;b&gt;FREE WILL vs CHAOS THEORY&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;In America, during our youthful years of public education we are  indoctrinated with a belief that everything we choose to do is a matter  of free will.&amp;nbsp; If I choose to turn left,&amp;nbsp; kick a can, drink water, blow  off class, cast a vote or any act you can think of, we are taught to  believe we had the ability aka free will, to choose to do something  else.&amp;nbsp; Turn Right, not drink, not skip class, not vote. We are taught  that every action we take is fully within our personal control and we  make our choices of our own free will.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Chaos Theory (Determinism) states that no matter what we do, we have  no choice... we have no free will.&amp;nbsp; According to Chaos Theory, so many  external factors have acted upon you that you have no choice but to do  what ever action you have done. Your choice has been predetermined by a  multitude of previously occurring, external influences.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Being much younger then, of course I knew it all and immediately  dismissed this proposed Chaos Theory as psycho-babble. Yet, almost half a  life time later, I am willing to consider chaos theory as a viable  explanation of certain political events and attitudes.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;WISCONSIN PUBLIC EMPLOYEES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;My personality is that of an analytical driver.&amp;nbsp; I gather facts and  make decisions. It has been my life’s presumption that the vast majority  of people also act out of reason and logic.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;It escapes me by what logic Rank and File Wisconsin Public Employees do not recognize..."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s8XXlN_cCbQ/TWYuikJ0DSI/AAAAAAAACY0/i809NZhiWb8/s1600/cointelproTHEUSGovernment%2527sWaragainstPoliticalDissentjpg.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s8XXlN_cCbQ/TWYuikJ0DSI/AAAAAAAACY0/i809NZhiWb8/s1600/cointelproTHEUSGovernment%2527sWaragainstPoliticalDissentjpg.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;It is the strategy of many governments to demonize and discredit political dissent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Should you doubt this I encourage you to read about the FBI, COINTELPRO and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. &lt;a href="http://www.icdc.com/%7Epaulwolf/cointelpro/cointel.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 24 years I have of attempted to bring reform and transparency to the Minnesota Judicial System. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Minnesota State Government and Court System consider this an act of Political dissent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am the target and victim of an operation to demonize and discredit me because cause of my exercise&lt;br /&gt;
of my Constitutionally protected 1st Amendment Right to Petition our Government for Redress of Grievances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To demonstrate one method our Government has used to demonize and discredit me, I provide to you this transcript of my Motion to Remove Judge Mary Yunker for Bias.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am one of the Plaintiffs in this matter.&amp;nbsp; I have been denied full, fair, equitable, unbiased and just adjudication of the matter at hand.&amp;nbsp; After almost 2 years of litigation and the expense of more than $16000 dollars, I have been denied all depositions and the ability to amend my complaint to reflect additional claims.&amp;nbsp; Only on the last day of discovery, did I receive the most insignificant answers to some discovery. I fear this litigation will end in another exercise of "Might Make Right" and "How much justice can you afford?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The long and the short of this is that 2 former employees quit my employment while I was out of the country on vacation. They stole company property with the intent of starting their own repossession company. They embezzled money, destroyed records and made up stoies in an attempt to steal my clients. 3 times after they said they had no company property in their possession, they returned company property, the last time to an attorney.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon being caught, the defendants made various wild allegations of a sexual nature against me. I am told that such allegations are pretty common as a means to try to assert a defense and muddy the water. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This litigation should have been a straight forward, done and over matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I took and passed a polygraph.&amp;nbsp; I demanded the opportunity to deposition my accusers.&lt;br /&gt;
I wanted to amend my complaint to include claims for the false allegations, but was not allowed to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the Courts have decided to use this allegation to demonize and discredit me to thwart my efforts at judicial reform and to punish me for daring to believe in the Right Provided to me in the Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, the adjudication of Justice is boring.&amp;nbsp; Points i think demonstrate the Courts Bias and Inconsistency may be too nuanced for you to understand. All I can do is simply demonstrate the Courts inconsistencies and failure to follow its own rules. I can only hope that the reader comes to realize the court has not operated fairly and justly.&amp;nbsp; And then hope that you can deduce from this that I am the victim of our governments deliberate attempts to demonize and discredit me.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps if you consider the following point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 1) Why would I be denied the opportunity deposition the Defendants if they would repeat the allegations under oath?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 2) Why would I not be allowed to subpoena the identies of persons that posted duragatory information on the internet, if the allegation were true and would serve to corroborate the allegation?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 3) Why would 4 different attorneys that I hired refuse to Notice the Defendants for Depositions?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 4) Why would the last attorney wait until 10 days after the Discovery period to try to amend the complaint to add the additional causes of action I requested from the beginning;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 5) A September 16, 2010 hearing was canceled.&amp;nbsp; I say it was to prevent reconciling discovery issues and amending the complaint.&amp;nbsp; The Judge says my attorney canceled it without my permission.&amp;nbsp; My attorney says the Judge canceled the hearing. If nothing untoward happened why are my former attorney and the Judge passing the buck?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 6)&amp;nbsp; Why did Judge Yunker invent the term "Suspensed Motions" which is not a term that i have found any attorney to be familiar with nor does it occur in MN Rules of Civil Procedure nor the MN Rules of General Procedure in an attempt to keep evidence off the Record?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 7) Is it fair and equitable that Judge Yunker refused to set any hearing in person or by teleconference to resolve discovery issues and/or amend the Complaint for the last two and a half months of discovery?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I encourage you to read the attached transcript so that you may know all the injustices i have suffered at the hands of the Minnesota Judiciary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I allege the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Because the Minnesota Judiciary controls the discipline and licenses of Minnesota Attorneys, Minnesota Attorneys are more loyal to the Judges they appear before than they are to you their client (Why do you think they call Public Defenders, Public Pretenders?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Judges in Minnesota are allowed to take tips which common persons like you and I would call bribes.&amp;nbsp; In many case, the outcome of your case is decided by the Judge, before the first time you are in Court.&amp;nbsp; The Judge "telegraphs" to the attorneys what outcome they want and the attorneys use the equivalent of smoke and mirrors to allow the judge to reach the conclusion the judge wants.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The method of fixing cases is generally achieved by attorneys by either controlling what evidence gets on the record or my making "legal" mistakes which allow the judge to rule against you.&amp;nbsp; Because most of us trust the attorney that we pay lots of money to and because most of us are unaware of the law, we don't even realize our case is being fixed.&lt;/blockquote&gt;I have been fighting to understand how the corruption takes place for 24 years.&amp;nbsp; For the last 4 years, I have been fighting to put forth reforms to bring transparency and accountability to the Minnesota Judiciary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In reading the attached transcript, I hope to expose the nature of much of the corruption that exists in the Minnesota Judiciary.&amp;nbsp; At the same time,&amp;nbsp; hope that I enlighten each of you as to the as to the absolute&lt;br /&gt;
necessity of Judicial Reform in Minnesota.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iq5-FR0VoZ0/TWYu2N_nzrI/AAAAAAAACY4/bbAN12SH1Xs/s1600/JusticeScalesCorruptions475x357nosymbol.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iq5-FR0VoZ0/TWYu2N_nzrI/AAAAAAAACY4/bbAN12SH1Xs/s200/JusticeScalesCorruptions475x357nosymbol.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I have paid the price for speaking out against Judicial Corruption in Minnesota.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Minnesota Judiciary have chose to use the false accusations of my former employees to destroy me to maintain their own power. At every opportunity I could expose the fraudulent nature of my former employees accusations, I have been thwarted.&lt;br /&gt;
. &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
My business is in ruins. My house is in foreclosure.&amp;nbsp; My health is devastated.&amp;nbsp; After spending $16000 on attorneys I cannot afford to be represented at the trial.&amp;nbsp; A trial at which my maximum award by the jury can be $101.00. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is representative of the evil nature of Minnesota's Judiciary.&lt;br /&gt;
The Powers that be in the Minnesota Judiciary laugh smugly behind closed doors at the destruction that they have brought to my life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have no criminal record save a speeding ticket and my life has been laid waste for daring to speak of corruption in the Minnesota Judiciary. If they can do this to me, they can do this to any of you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3HFbHucSzdc/TWYxXqeFgSI/AAAAAAAACY8/bPUZmp25_Fs/s1600/TheAmericanJudicialsystemisthebestappearanceofjusticemoneycanbuywithquote.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3HFbHucSzdc/TWYxXqeFgSI/AAAAAAAACY8/bPUZmp25_Fs/s320/TheAmericanJudicialsystemisthebestappearanceofjusticemoneycanbuywithquote.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The failure of your elected officials and the Minnesota Judiciary to act swiftly to address and correct the injustice I have suffered should be the final bit of evidence you need to render your judgment of the Minnesota Judiciary. I assert that your elected officials endorse and support the Judicial Corruption in Minnesota and recognize the problem of corruption in Minnesota Government is systemic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I urge you to contact your elected officials and demand reform of the Minnesota Judiciary before&lt;br /&gt;
you or someone you care about finds themselves in front of the evil, corrupt and unaccountable Minnesota Judiciary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I have educated you as to the nature of corruption in the Minnesota Judiciary.&amp;nbsp; The price for doing so has been exacted upon me by the powers that be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I humbly and respectfully ask that you not let all the life dreams that i have sacrificed to bring you this enlightenment, not go for naught.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;DEMAND JUDICIAL REFORM IN MINNESOTA.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;DO NOT LET THEM TAKE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTED FOR JUDGES IN MEANINGFUL, CONTESTED ELECTIONS AWAY FROM YOU.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4 THE COURT: Good afternoon, Mr. Mashak. You&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 may certainly step to counsel table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 MR. MASHAK: Could I have the bailiff give you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 this? You had asked for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 THE COURT: Certainly. Please feel free to be&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 seated, Mr. Mashak. Mr. Mashak, are you prepared to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 proceed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 MR. MASHAK: In just one moment, Your Honor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 Okay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 THE COURT: We will call Don Mashak and First&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 National Repossessors, Incorporated, Plaintiffs, versus&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 Dannette Meeks-Hull and Michael Hull, Defendants. This&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 is a motion hearing brought pursuant to Plaintiff's&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 motion to remove this Court from these proceedings for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 bias.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 Present in the courtroom today is Mr. Mashak.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 to appear at this hearing but were given notice of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 today's scheduling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 Mr. Mashak, you will note on counsel table to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 your right a laptop computer. It is realtime reporting,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 and it is displaying in written fashion in realtime the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 proceedings that are being conducted here today. It is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 placed on counsel table for your use. And the Court&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 reporter will be happy to instruct you regarding its&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 You may review the written transcript during&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 the course of breaks, which the Court intends to take&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 during these proceedings, so that you may be assisted in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 processing this information as time goes on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 What I'm going to do at this point is stop&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 these proceedings so that the court reporter can step&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 down and can instruct you into the use of the laptop so&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 that you can access these written proceedings, if you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 choose to do so during the course of the proceedings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 (Discussion held between Mr. Mashak and the court&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 reporter off the record.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 THE COURT: Mr. Mashak, if you need additional&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 assistance with the operation of the laptop, please let&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 us know that and we will accommodate you during the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 course of the breaks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 Mr. Mashak, are you represented by counsel in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 these proceedings?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 MR. MASHAK: No, I'm not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 THE COURT: Do you intend to proceed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 representing yourself in these matters?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 MR. MASHAK: I guess I have no choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 4 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 THE COURT: Additionally, as I have previously&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 indicated, these proceedings are not to be recorded,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 either audio or visual, in contravention of the rules of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 the Court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 So I am informing those who are in attendance&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 here, Mr. Mashak -- and there is one person in the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 audience, who I think has been at previous hearings --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 that video or audio recordings are expressly prohibited&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 by the rules of Court and there will potentially be&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 sanctions if you violate these rules of Court by&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 recording these proceedings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 MR. MASHAK: May I address that point?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 THE COURT: Yes, sir, you may.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 MR. MASHAK: I'd like to understand, because&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 it's my understanding that pursuant to Minnesota&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 Statutes, tape recording of conversations is lawful as&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 long as one party to those conversations are present,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 and I'd like to know how Court rules over --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 understanding the hierarchy of laws, how court rule can&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 over -- supersede a Minnesota statute?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 THE COURT: Mr. Mashak, I'm not able to give&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 you a legal opinion that would answer your legal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 question with regard to the application of other&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 Minnesota statutes, which do talk about tape recording.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 (Phone ring tones in courtroom.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 5&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 THE COURT: I'm assuming, Mr. Mashak, you just&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 turned your cell phone off?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 MR. MASHAK: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 THE COURT: Appreciate that. Thank you, sir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 I am not able to give you legal advice with regard to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 interpretation of Minnesota statute which does control&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 the tape recording of conversation between two private&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 parties. However, I have informed you in the past and I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 will re-inform you today that court rules prohibit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 recording in the court, absent express authority by the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 court which can be given under limited circumstances,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 and which has not been given in these proceedings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 So I reiterate: Recording is prohibited and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 there are potential sanctions for those who violate this&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 court order and this court rule. With regard to these&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 proceedings today, the realtime reporting and frequent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 recesses will be granted in order to accommodate the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 request under the Americans With Disabilities Act&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 request that you have made, Mr. Mashak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 And I note that prior to today's hearing you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 did give me some additional information. We will&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 discuss that at the conclusion of these hearings in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 private, if you choose to do that. The Court may have&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 some additional questions on that issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 MR. MASHAK: Okay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 6&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 THE COURT: Now, with regard to the motion&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 which is pending today, Minnesota Rule of General&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 Procedure 106 requires that this Court conduct a hearing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 on your motion and that is why we are here today. This&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 is like any other civil motion. The Court can and will&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 consider the affidavit that you filed in support of your&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 motion, which was received by the Court January 20,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 2011, and was submitted to the Court under oath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 It is your affidavit which has the information&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 that you wanted the Court to review with regard to this&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 motion. Your opportunity today is to argue your motion&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 or to submit other written information, if you wish to,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 for the Court to consider this matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 Mr. Mashak, the rules require that it is your&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 responsibility to demonstrate an affirmative showing of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 prejudice on behalf of this Court in order to receive&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 the relief that you are requesting. And that is defined&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 in the rules as such bias as a juror might have excluded&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 from consideration of the action should the juror have&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 the same opinions. You may proceed, sir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 MR. MASHAK: Okay. Well, first, I'm going to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 say that a lot of this stems from the unconstitutional&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 transference by the Minnesota Legislature to the Supreme&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 Court of oversight of the Minnesota Judiciary. And&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 further, in having the Minnesota Lawyers Board overseen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 7&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 by the Supreme Court effectively makes lawyers be more&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 loyal or answerable to judges than they do the clients&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 that pay them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 In this case, which should have been a simple&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 case, this was a nothing case that has been turned&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 upside down and my life has been turned upside down&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 because of my exercise of my First Amendment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 Constitutional right to petition the government for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 redress of grievances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 For the past five years, a group of hundreds&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 of us have been trying to submit evidence and testimony&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 of corruption in the Minnesota Judiciary before the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 House and Senate Judiciary Committees and we've been&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 unconstitutionally and unlawfully denied that right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 And I feel that the way that this matter has&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 been handled is a retaliation, an unlawful retaliation,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 for my exercise of my right to petition the courts and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 that had the Minnesota House and Minnesota Senate&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 Judiciary Committees heard the testimony and evidence&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 that I wouldn't even be in the position to having to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 bring this motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 Simply, the Board of Judicial Standards is a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 farce. It's a black hole. I've received numerous, and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 other people have shown me, where they can only deal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 with things like judge or attorney doesn't show up on&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 8&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 time, doesn't file papers timely, if they steal from an&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 escrow fund or something like that, that's about the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 closest to criminal they can get. But everything else&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 is subject to appeal. And most citizens of this country&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 simply are not capable of paying all the expenses, nor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 understanding all the intricacies of filing the appeal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 So the courts have used this to punish those that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 dissent from the majority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 In this particular matter, I've had four&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 attorneys. The first attorney, Diana Longrie, failed to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 show up for court, failed to give me the documents I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 needed when she didn't show up, refused to submit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 discovery, refused to notice depositions. And we had&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 agreed on 50 admissions and related interrogatories and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 document production requests and she never sent them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 She received a Rule 11 motion from the defense back a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 year ago November. Never notified me. Never notified&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 the second attorney that I hired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 The second attorney, Joe O'Brien -- and,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 again, there's no complaint from Longrie that she didn't&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 get paid. The second attorney, Joe O'Brien, worked on&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 my case for a couple months, got paid money, and, in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 fact, then he stopped returning my calls. I went with&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 another attorney to pin him down, and he admitted that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 he had just been a little bit lax and he'd get right on&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 9&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 it. Then we couldn't find him. So for three months I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 couldn't get him to return my file to me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 Two months after I notified the Lawyers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 Professional Responsibility Board that he hadn't&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 returned my files so I couldn't proceed with my case, he&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 left me a text message that he had left the file on the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 seat of an open car on my property.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 I fail to understand how the Supreme Court nor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 anybody could foresee that they should have some teeth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 in the law that requires an attorney to return the file&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 upon demand. You guys have this implied consent for us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 drivers in regards to taking DUI tests, but there's&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 nothing for an attorney that says: Hey, this is the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 litmus test. Either you produce files within, I don't&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 know, five, ten days, whatever you think is reasonable,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 or we jerk your license. I don't understand why that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 doesn't exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 He missed deadlines, made me scramble to do&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 things pro se. And I got it back on 6-15, and I had a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 hearing on July 9. I showed up on July 9 ready to go&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 with another attorney and the defense didn't even bother&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 to show up. We requested summary judgment; weren't&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 granted it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 And then there was supposed to be a new&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 scheduling order entered. And for two months I bugged&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 10&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 the attorney about when are they going to answer the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 discovery that I had to serve? Because at the time I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 didn't have any and the deadline was coming up and I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 didn't know what was going to happen on July 9. I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 served admissions and I served requests -- or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 interrogatories, et cetera, et cetera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 And in any case, we never got an answer. All&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 my attorney kept saying to me is the other side said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 they weren't at the July 9 hearing so they don't have to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 answer because as far as they're concerned the deadline&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 to respond to your discovery passed after the deadline&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 for discovery to be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 And so I kept telling the attorney, you need&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 to be sending -- having the court get that scheduling&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 order so they can't keep telling you this. This went on&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 for months. I kept saying: Can't they just call the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 court themselves? Can't you set a hearing? Can't you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 compel discovery? And he said no.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 I'd like to enter this e-mail between my&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 attorney and myself on August 17, and I'll give this to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 you in just a moment. I'll give it to you right now&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 because I have another copy of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 THE COURT: Mr. Mashak, I'm assuming it's not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 in the form of a sworn affidavit?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 MR. MASHAK: No.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 11&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 THE COURT: Are you willing to swear under&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 oath today that it's a true and accurate copy --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 MR. MASHAK: Certainly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 THE COURT: -- of the document that you're in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 possession of?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 MR. MASHAK: Yes, Your Honor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 THE COURT: I'm going to ask you to stand,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 raise your right hand and be sworn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 (Mr. Mashak was sworn in by the Clerk of Court.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 THE COURT: Be seated again. I'm going to ask&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 the deputy to hand the document back to you, and I'm&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 going to ask you to identify for the record what it is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 and indicate whether it's a true and accurate copy of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 the document in your possession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 MR. MASHAK: This is an e-mail from -- between&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 myself, Jack Gram, and Mark Olson, dated August 17. And&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 it describes the problem they were having with the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 THE COURT: Authored by whom, sir?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 MR. MASHAK: It was -- it was sent to me and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 it was between me and Mark Olson, my attorney at the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 THE COURT: Authored by Mr. Olson?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 MR. MASHAK: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 THE COURT: And you're swearing on the record&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 12&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 today it's a true and accurate copy of what you have in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 your document possession?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 MR. MASHAK: Absolutely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 THE COURT: You may hand it to the deputy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 I'll receive it as information for this hearing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 MR. MASHAK: And here's the essence of this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 Here's the problem, Jack, my office has called the Court&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 four times. I've sent two letters. She is chambered in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 Sherburne County and the case is in Isanti. I asked her&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 if I should copy her with submissions to her chambers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 and she said no. She explained that without a file it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 would be in no man's land. I also explained to her that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 I could e-mail her the documents. She again said no.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 Just send them forward. I don't want to become a pest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 I have a paper trail here. I'm sure that Don is anxious&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 since his prior counsel dropped the ball," et cetera, et&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 cetera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 And this went on for weeks where he was -- I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 was on his case saying this needs to come to an end&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 because at that point in time this had been going on for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 more than a year. And he was indicating that he was&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 having problems contacting the Court. And that the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 Court wasn't responding to sending him a scheduling&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 order. And along the line, I finally said I'm going to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 get a copy of the transcript from July 9 and you can&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 13&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 send that to them. And then all of the sudden when&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 everybody was aware that I did that, there was a flurry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 of activity. And my recollection is that the scheduling&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 order was produced by you on or about August 28th but&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 somehow got lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 And in that same time frame, I got served a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 motion for -- Rule 11 Motion for Summary Judgment that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 was to be heard on September 30th. In the meantime at&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 the July 9th hearing we had specifically said the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 original court date was supposed to be September 16th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 And we just left it as September 16th because we figured&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 there would be discovery issues that would be dealt with&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 at that point in time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 So when we can't compel discovery, we can't&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 get the other side to answer discovery, we're not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 getting responses from the court, I am reasonably&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 annoyed and irritated that this is not proceeding the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 way it should proceed. I'm being denied the opportunity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 to collect evidence. I'm being denied the opportunity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 to get evidence on the record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 And then I started having debates with my&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 attorney about whether we should put evidence on the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 record. Because he's trying to tell me: Well, they&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 filed it two days late. They didn't allow enough time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 I'm, like, if you give me assurance the judge can't rule&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 14&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 any other way, then I'll go with that. Otherwise, we've&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 got 30 exhibits we need to put on the record because the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 defense is saying not one scintilla of evidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 I said on the 9-16 hearing we need to be&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 compelling in taking care of all this fact that the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 other side is saying they don't know that there's not a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 -- that the discovery didn't end because there's a new&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 scheduling order, et cetera, et cetera. And suddenly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 I'm told that the Court canceled the hearing on the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 16th. And I started making inquiries of various people&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 in the court system about how could this date get&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 changed? And I believe you've seen the photo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 previously, and the computer screen says that my&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 attorney agreed to change the date so that the defendant&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 -- defense's motion for summary judgment would be&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 timely, which would be completely contradictory to my&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 best interest, in light of the fact that we hadn't been&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 able to get discovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 Now, I know you say you didn't do it. But&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 here is an e-mail, which again I'll swear is true and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 correct, copy of what I received on September 8th. And&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 it's got me saying, "Darnit --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 THE COURT: Excuse me, who's the author of the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 e-mail?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 MR. MASHAK: Mark Olson. I want my discovery,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 15&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 I want to get evidence on the record. I want to get the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 amended complaint in. This is all going to happen on&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 September 16. We're not giving up September 16. You&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 can't give up September 16 without my consent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 And this is, in short, his response to me is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 You don't get it. The judge had a conflict. Now, I've&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 since made a complaint to the Minnesota Lawyers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 Professional Responsibility Board asking -- again&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 asserting that the screen says that my counsel agreed to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 move this date, which was clearly not in my best&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 interest. And in response to that, with the Lawyers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 Board, he once again wrote back that the judge changed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 the date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 And at the September 30th hearing, you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 indicated that you had nothing to do with changing the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 date. So something someplace along the line is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 Doesn't matter to me, because to me it's consistent with&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 my entire perspective that the Minnesota Judiciary and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 the Minnesota legal system is retaliating against me for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 trying to bring forward and testify about evidence and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 give evidence of corruption in the Minnesota judicial&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 And that, again, that is a violation of the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 First Amendment right to petition the government for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 redress of grievances. So in any case, I get in an&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 16&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 argument with Mr. Olson about: You will put these&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 exhibits on the record; you will file the amended&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 complaint as we agreed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 And he's saying: No, no, no, we're not doing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 any of that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 I'm telling him we need to compel discovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 We need to get the amended complaint. And again he's&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 telling me there's nothing to be done. We just got to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 go to this hearing. I'm, like, you will file, because I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 understand that if you don't have it in -- evidence or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 testimony in an official form, it's as though it didn't&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 exist and you make your findings directly from only the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 evidence in the crucible of justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 No matter how many times I tell my attorney,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 no matter how many times I tell my friends, no matter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 how many times I post on the Internet or put it in the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 paper, if you don't see it officially, it don't count.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 And that was the basic conflict with Mr. Olson&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 was he was refusing to put the exhibits in and he was&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 refusing to compel discovery. And then he was refusing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 to set -- or saying the Court wasn't willing to set a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 hearing in order to get past the scheduling order deal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 Now, so then I went out after the September&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 30th hearing in which I said we are going to, you know,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 continue these motions until I can find an attorney and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 17&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 I went out and found an attorney and I told him -- every&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 attorney I went to, because it took me about three weeks&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 to find one. I said: I'm going to tell you this is a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 horrible case. It's messed up. Not through any fault&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 of my own, but because there's been too many fingers in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 the pot. And I believe the judicial system is corrupt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 And they're retaliating against me because I didn't want&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 somebody telling me, well, you didn't tell me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 So it took me, like, three weeks to go through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 20, 30 attorneys before one said that they would take it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 and that they understood what the issue was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 And, again, this is extremely distressful to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 me that this defense just made up some story, some&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 scandalous story, of accusations about me. This has&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 went on for two years; it should have been nipped in the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 bud immediately. Justice delayed is justice denied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 In any case, so then I told Mr. Wolfgram --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 and I believe I don't have to give you this because this&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 is already included in the documents that I've given&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 you -- you see there's a series of e-mails between&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 Mr. Wolfgram and myself where in October 28 I'm telling&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 him: You need to notice depositions. You need to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 compel discovery. You need to get the amended complaint&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 And I'm getting double talk from Mr. Wolfgram&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 18&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 saying: Don't worry. We'll -- we have plenty of time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 I don't have to notice these right away. You've noticed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 a month before for the depositions, so I don't have to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 give them the full 30 days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 And he assures me, he says on top of this --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 by this point in time, I, you know, I was suffering from&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 the disability that we've discussed due to all these&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 bizarre occurrences happening with this court case and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 that I couldn't simply get a quick and speedy trial to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 get this resolved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 And so I remember saying to him: I have to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 trust you because this is killing me to question every&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 single thing that every single attorney does. And if&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 you look at those e-mails, you can see that I clearly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 told him you need to have these filed -- do this stuff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 immediately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 The judge isn't going to move the hearing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 date. She's not going to do anything. And he's&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 assuring me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 And I told him: You go down to the court file&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 and you look in the court file because I don't want to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 hear at some point in time you say I forgot to tell you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 something. I will pay for that. You go down there&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 because that's the record. I don't want to ever hear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 that something I forgot -- because I don't know what's&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 19&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 important. I'm not an attorney. Something I think is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 unimportant might be important. Didn't occur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 And during this whole time, he's telling me&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 the Court is refusing to set a hearing because you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 demanded that it be in Isanti County. And I said:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 That's a gross misrepresentation of what was said and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 specifically I was asked which county do you want to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 have it in?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 And do you have copies of the transcript?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 THE COURT: No, sir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 MR. MASHAK: Okay. So do you need me to swear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 that these are true and correct? Or is it enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 that --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 THE COURT: Any evidence that you want me to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 consider must come in through affidavit or having you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 swear to correctness on the record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 MR. MASHAK: Okay. So I swear that this is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 true and accurate copies of page 1, page 5, page 4, and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 page 31 of the September 30, 2010, hearings in the -- in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 this matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 And I draw the Court's attention to page 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 And there's a typo here, but, as we had said, Isanti,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 not Sherburne. But in any case: All future count (sic)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 hearings will be scheduled in Isanti. I'm just simply&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 telling you it's more difficult, scheduling-wise, but we&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 20&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 will accommodate it, and all future hearings will be&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 held in Isanti County.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 And the important word there is accommodate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 But on top of that -- and so this is all going on in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 early November. And as soon as Attorney Wolfgram says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 to me, Hey, they're saying that you refused to have them&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 heard in Sherburne County. I said, You know, that's not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 the way it was. I was offered a choice. I made the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 choice. And of course if we can't have these heard&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 before the December 17, if I insist on having them in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 Isanti County, by all means let's have them in Sherburne&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 County, but make sure the trial is still held in Isanti&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 County.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 And for another 30 days I got to hear the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 Court won't schedule, the Court won't schedule, the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 Court won't schedule. And he's telling me don't worry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 about the depositions, don't worry about the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 depositions, don't worry about the depositions. And&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 this is consistent with --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 THE COURT: Mr. Mashak, I said at the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 beginning of this hearing that I would accommodate you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 with reasonable breaks if you need them. Do you need a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 break or --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 MR. MASHAK: Yes. Yes. Yes. That would be&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 very, very helpful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 21&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 THE COURT: 10 minutes enough, sir?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 MR. MASHAK: I think so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 THE COURT: We'll stand in recess for 10&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 minutes. At 20 minutes to 4 on the clock, we'll&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 recommence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 MR. MASHAK: Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 THE COURT: You're welcome, sir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 (A brief recess was taken.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 THE COURT: We're back on the record on Mashak&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 and First National Repossessors versus Meeks-Hull and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 Hull. Mr. Mashak returns, all Court personnel have also&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 returned. Mr. Mashak, you may proceed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 MR. MASHAK: Okay. I want to first correct a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 typo on the motion papers on page 2. It says "for two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 weeks now." It should actually say "for three weeks."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 And that's consistent with the Exhibit 39 from that same&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 -- from the affidavit of 12-29. That's an e-mail of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 December 9, 2010, and it's from me to Attorney Wolfgram.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 And the relevant portion is -- again, dated&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 December 9 -- for three weeks or more now Judge Yunker&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 has refused to set any hearing date for us before the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 December 17, 2010, discovery and dispositive motion&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 THE COURT: I'm sorry, which e-mail are you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 referring to?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 22&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 MR. MASHAK: If you look, there's an affidavit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 that's the 12-29 affidavit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 THE COURT: Yes, sir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 MR. MASHAK: Attached as an exhibit. It will&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 say at the bottom "E-39." I believe it's the very last&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 page of that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 THE COURT: I have that, sir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 MR. MASHAK: You see me writing to Attorney&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 Wolfgram for three weeks now or more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 THE COURT: I see it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 MR. MASHAK: Okay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 THE COURT: Also, sir, I note that document&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 has a lot of X's in it. Was that an alteration of the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 original document?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 MR. MASHAK: Yes. I just redacted stuff that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 was attorney-client privileges. I'm sorry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 THE COURT: That's all right. Go ahead, sir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 MR. MASHAK: And so I've -- the Court&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 obviously knew that I needed to bring motions, the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 motion to amend the complaint, the motion to compel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 discovery, motion for punitive damages, all those&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 continued motions from September 30th, but my attorney&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 kept saying that they wouldn't set one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 In the meantime, I'm saying what about the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 depositions? And he's saying, don't worry, there's&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 23&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 plenty of time, I'll get them noticed. And I'm becoming&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 extremely frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 THE COURT: Mr. Mashak, allow me to ask --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 MR. MASHAK: Okay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 THE COURT: Is there evidence in the record or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 do you have evidence of communication between&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 Mr. Wolfgram and the Court attempting to set motion&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 hearings during this time period?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 MR. MASHAK: I'm sorry, Your Honor, I'm&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 thinking somebody I'm paying the big money to is doing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 the job, and I didn't think that I had to question my&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 attorney about whether he was actually contacting the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 Court or not. I assume as heated as the arguments got&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 and as much as he believed the defense of "the Court&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 just won't set one" that he's telling me the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 THE COURT: There's no written document that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 you have or that you filed with the Court that documents&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 Mr. Wolfgram's request to the Court to set a hearing and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 request denied?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 MR. MASHAK: Right. And, in fact, I've asked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 him for all my court files back and he's playing this&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 game of Simon says: You have to tell me when; and the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 time I say, it won't work. And just again yesterday I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 said I want to send somebody down between 8:30 and 10&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 today to pick up my court files. And I sent somebody&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 24&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 down with a copy of my driver's license and a sheet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 saying this person is authorized to pick up the records,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 you say they're available to pick them up, and nobody&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 was in his office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 He called to tell me he didn't know when&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 somebody would be available to give me a file. In fact,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 I don't have any of my court files as of this hearing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 But -- and I asked him for documentation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 regarding contacting the Court and he hasn't given me&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 that, either. So in rapid succession, we get to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 December 29 because I'm upset that -- and he's telling&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 me, don't worry, because the Court didn't make time&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 before December 17, it's your order, she's got to change&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 the scheduling order. She has to. Don't worry. This&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 is fine. She'll change it. It just would be grossly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 unfair for you that because she didn't have time you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 don't get to have your motion to compel, amended&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 complaint, et cetera, et cetera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 And, in fact, he said that in trying to set up&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 the deposition of Defendant Meeks-Hull, Dannette Meeks,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 that she was saying because of the harassment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 restraining order I couldn't even be in the deposition,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 needed to talk to you about how that could be worked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 out. Clearly there are ways to do that, electronically,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 or behind a window or whatever it was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 25&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 And they asked to have a teleconference with&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 you, and you refused to have a teleconference. And that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 was the last week before the discovery deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 I'm sure you're aware then came December 29&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 where you said: Nope, I'm not changing any deadlines,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 I'm not taking the amended complaint, I'm not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 entertaining the motions to compel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 And then we came up with this -- and this is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 difficult for me to say, but I've just got to say it,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 this notion of suspense motions. And I've asked several&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 attorneys if they've ever heard of suspense motions from&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 the 9-30 hearing. I've looked in the Minnesota Rules of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 General Practice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 I might not have it quite right, but I'm sure&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 you know what I'm talking to. I looked in the Minnesota&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 Rules of Civil Procedure and could find no reference to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 suspense motions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 And it was my sense that my own attorney,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 acting on behalf of the legal fraternity, understood&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 that what you were trying to do was to prevent some of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 those motions from being heard. And so that is when he&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 took me in the back room and said: No, you shouldn't&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 enter any of this other stuff. You shouldn't enter your&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 motion, the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 And there was yelling and screaming and he was saying he&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 wasn't going to represent me anymore if I insisted on&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 doing this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 And here I'm sitting between I know that if&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 it's not on the record, it's as though it didn't happen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 as far as the judge is concerned. And I have my&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 attorney telling me something completely different that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 I know to be wrong. And he's threatening to withdraw,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 and I'm not capable of knowing all the nuances of the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 And because of this idea suspense motions and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 because of all of this, I had said: Okay; if you're&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 telling me that this is just a bad idea. And his story&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 was something about, well, what you're arguing is that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 there's no material issues of fact. And if you go in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 there and say that your side is there's no material&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 issues of fact, you're saying there is material issues&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 of fact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 And, of course, that is completely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 wrong-headed thinking that doesn't even make any sense&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 because we're saying there's no issues of material fact&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 for us, not that there are not any material issues of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 fact for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 But in any case, you know all the rulings you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 made there, and it denied me the right to get any --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 $16,000, almost two years, I get a smattering of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 27&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 discovery on the very last day. And it just can't be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 Nobody could figure out to serve discovery 10 months&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 earlier, 12 months earlier, 13 months earlier? Nobody&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 could -- and then we have Olson saying for two and a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 half months, from 7-9 to early September, that the judge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 won't return my calls, the judge won't set a hearing,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 which is consistent with what Wolfgram was saying was I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 can't do anything, the Court won't set a hearing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 And clearly the Court knew that if I can't&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 compel discovery, if I can't amend my complaint that it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 prejudices my case because I can't get evidence on the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 record and I can't even say in the course of the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 independent discovery that we did we discovered these&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 other causes of action and that we want to amend our&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 claim for that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 And worse, then I have my attorneys&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 blackmailing me, not just that they're going to quit by&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 doing something their certain way, but I have Wolfgram&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 telling me that if I don't sign something that says that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 I am satisfied with his representation that he's going&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 to quit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 Now, I only got so much money and this has&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 damaged my business terribly. I can't -- I'm trapped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 I'm being exhorted that -- I've invested all this money&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 into this and every time you change attorneys, you've&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 28&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 got to pay for them to relearn the case. Now I've got&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 Wolfgram saying: You need to sign a document that says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 you're satisfied with my representation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 By this time I'm so absorbed with the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 document, the issues in the document that I handed to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 you just prior to us beginning this hearing, that I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 don't know anymore. I'm just blown away that I even&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 have to deal with any of this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 This is a straightforward case of an employee&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 quit while I was out of the country, stole money,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 embezzled money, stole company property, and then&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 purposely trashed a vehicle that I cosigned for her and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 let it get repossessed. And suddenly two years later,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 I'm the one whose life is destroyed. And I say it's by&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 deliberate machinations of the Court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 And, again, after the July -- January 9th&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 hearing, Wolfgram was, again: If you want me to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 represent you, you need to sign a document that says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 you're happy with my representation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 And all these things primarily instigated by&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 the fact that the Court from 7-9 to early September&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 wouldn't allow me to -- allow my attorneys, and wouldn't&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 respond to their correspondence, wouldn't set hearings,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 that the December -- or the September 16 hearing, which&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 was reserved at 7-9, was mysteriously canceled. And the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 29&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 attorney insists, in multiple places that I have&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 documented and with Lawyers Professional Responsibility&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 Board, that the Court canceled that hearing, not him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 And then we have Wolfgram saying for several&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 months -- or for six weeks: She won't set any hearings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 despite -- and you have the e-mails where right from the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 beginning I made it clear to him what your instructions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 were -- you aren't changing nothing, nothing was going&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 to change, that this had to be done, that he needed to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 notice the depositions, that all these things had to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 And he said he couldn't make them happen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 because the Court wouldn't set a hearing. The Court&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 wouldn't entertain the amended complaint. The Court&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 wouldn't entertain the motion to compel discovery. That&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 the Court wouldn't work with them to resolve this issue&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 of Ms. Meeks saying she wouldn't want to be in the same&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 room with me, even by teleconference. This went on over&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 the course of two months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 I'm just going to go through and -- if it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 please the Court, if we could take, like, 10 minutes so&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 I could gather my thoughts to make my final statements,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 I'd appreciate that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 THE COURT: Certainly, Mr. Mashak. Can we&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 agree top of the hour? Is that enough time?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 30&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 MR. MASHAK: Yes, thank you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 THE COURT: You're welcome, sir. We stand in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 recess until 4:00.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 (A brief recess was taken.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 MR. MASHAK: Could I have one minute to look&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 at this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 THE COURT: Certainly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 (Mr. Mashak reviewing realtime.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 MR. MASHAK: Okay. Your Honor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 THE COURT: We are back on the record on&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 Mashak and First National Repossessors, Incorporated,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 versus Meeks-Hull and Hull, defendants. Mr. Mashak, you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 may proceed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 MR. MASHAK: Okay. I'm just going to take a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 few minutes to go through anything I might have missed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 along here and make some points in closing, and then I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 should be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 We've discussed the fact that by the Court not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 setting hearings or allowing teleconferences it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 prevented me from having motions and communications with&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 the Court to advance my case in terms of getting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 discovery evidence on the record and amending my&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 complaint, punitive damages, et cetera, et cetera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 We talked about the cancelling of the 9-16&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 hearing. We talked about the suspense motions. And&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 31&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 then I want to comment on the unusual efforts to prevent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 recordings of proceedings on the December 29 hearing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 Law enforcement were used to do unlawful searches and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 seizures of people at the direction of this Court to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 prevent any recording, any possible recording. People&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 were required to take any recording devices and their&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 cell phones out to the cars, which is something I've&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 never experienced in my 52 years previously. Not that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 I've been in Court that much, but that was unusual to me&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 and many people that I spoke to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 And then at the 1-9 hearing, apparently there&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 had been discussions between law enforcement and the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 Court, and instead of having people take their cell&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 phones and their recording devices to their cars, the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 Court merely asked myself and other people in the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 gallery if they were recording and unusually asked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 people in the gallery their names and indicated there&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 would be some kind of consequences for anybody recording&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 these hearings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 And, again, I hate challenging the Court on&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 this, but that would seem to indicate the Court had&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 something to hide that they didn't want documented.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 Again, I refer to the Minnesota statute that I believe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 supersedes any court rules that say anybody -- at least&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 one person party to a conversation they have the right&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 32&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 to record it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 And then, oh, at the last hearing when you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 made me only speak through my attorney and my attorney&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 was refusing to say the things that I wanted to say and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 make the arguments I wanted to make, and I was&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 substantially stifled in getting things on the record&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 for appeal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 And then I'm going to touch on that the Court&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 refused to continue the hearing to deal with the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 accommodations required by the Americans with&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 Disabilities Act. And go back to -- it just is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 manifestly unjust that the Court would take months and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 refuse to have hearings and then on December 17 --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 before December 17 and then on December 29 say, well,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 too bad, so sad, we set December 17, when the Court&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 effectively acted to prevent me from prosecuting my case&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 and getting discovery by refusing to have hearings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 because the defense wasn't cooperating in the discovery&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 as the defense should have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 And had we had the 9-16 hearing or any hearing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 between now and 9-17, I would have had -- the Court&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 would have been able to accept my amended complaint, the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 Court would have been able to compel discovery, I would&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 have been able to work out the issues that the defense&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 brought up regarding the depositions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 33&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 All these things demonstrated bias of the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 Court. And I'm going to go back and say that while I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 don't -- I have two different attorneys saying that the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 Court wasn't returning their communications, wasn't&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 setting hearings, wasn't -- in the first instance, also,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 you weren't putting out the scheduling order agreed to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 on July 9.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 And then the second case we have the attorneys&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 saying she won't set any hearings and just briefly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 allegedly because I refused to have them heard in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 Sherburne County when -- and even when that possible&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 communication happened, in short order, I said of course&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 if we can't have the hearing before December 17 unless&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 we have them in Sherburne, I'm not stupid, then we'll&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 have to have it in Sherburne, just make sure the trial&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 ends up being in Isanti.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 And the other thing is, judges are aware that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 all of this extra communication that I have with my&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 attorneys and changing attorneys costs money and most&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 people don't have unlimited resources. So by the very&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 act of making this litigation stall out farther and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 farther, the Court knew that eventually I would run out&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 of money. And the Court knew that the allegations of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 the defense were having an adverse impact on my income.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 And, you know, this failing to set hearings so&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 34&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 that the thing could quickly move to resolution, the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 defense knows that they're lying. And once they're&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 forced to put things in writing and once they're forced&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 to depositions, I believe settlement happens quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 But when the Court's acting in this manner, it gives&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 them the belief that the Court's on their side. And I'm&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 sure that's what their attorney is telling them. You&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 don't have to settle nothing because basically what I'm&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 seeing, the Court's made up their mind how they want&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 this to come out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 You know, and along those lines, I'm just&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 going to say it's just not satisfactory that there's not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 some policing of the court. The board of judicial&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 standards and the lawyers professional responsibility&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 boards are just jokes. They're black holes. Nobody&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 ever gets to know what goes on with those. Unless they&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 have a finding that somebody actually did something,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 people don't know if there was ever any investigation at&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 all done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 And then all that information should have been&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 public record. The founding fathers said that all men&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 are fallen, and the only way to keep men from&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 temptation -- the best way to keep people from&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 temptation is transparency and accountability. And the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 courts, by making the Board of Judicial Standards and&lt;br /&gt;

1 making the Lawyers Board black holes, they've ended the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 transparency, which gets us to the situation where you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 have citizens being denied their right to petition the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 government for redress of grievances to make it clear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 that there is corruption in the Minnesota Judiciary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 In this particular instance, again, I believe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 that the Minnesota legal system and the Minnesota courts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 are retaliating against me for my lawful and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 constitutionally specified right to petition the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 government with grievances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 The courts in this case -- this woman just had&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 to make an allegation, in my opinion, and the Court said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 we can use this, we're going to use this to demonize and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 discredit this guy who's been making efforts to reform&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 and make accountable and transparent the Minnesota&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 Judiciary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 I want to go back to on either December 29 --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 or January 9, you should have said, you know what, it's&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 not your fault we couldn't get you heard before the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 deadline. Even though I set the hard deadline, it's&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 just not right, fair, just, equitable, unbiased for me&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 to say you don't get discovery, you don't get to amend&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 your Complaint, you don't get to amend for punitive&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 damages, you don't get to have depositions because the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 Court knew that that biased my ability to collect&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 36&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 evidence and to put evidence on the record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 And I'm going to close by saying that judges&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 and lawyers have full control over people's lives. The&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 rules are too complex for the average citizen to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 understand. And the lawyers -- and us citizens come&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 forward and we trust lawyers that we pay big money to to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 represent us. Unfortunately, in my opinion, what's&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 happened is some of them know how to -- know what the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 court wants as a result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 And because most people -- most people&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 wouldn't even have -- average citizens wouldn't have the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 ability to come before this Court like I have and say&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 this, this, this, this. To them, it's just a big black&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 box and they just know they got screwed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 And when people just know they got screwed,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 then you have stuff like happened in Egypt where the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 people just say: We know we're getting screwed. We&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 don't know exactly how we're getting screwed, but we&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 know we're getting screwed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 So these attorneys, they either willingly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 betray their clients because that's the easy way, not to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 make judges upset and be part of the judicial&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 fraternity, or they are just afraid to cross judges that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 they appear in front of because the judges can destroy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 their law practices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Page 37&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 They've invested thousands of dollars in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 getting an undergraduate degree, getting a law degree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 and establishing a practice and the judicial fraternity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 has the ability to destroy a person's law practice if a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5 lawyer crosses a judge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 But just in summary, all the things that I've&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7 said here I believe constitute the bias -- demonstrate&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 the bias of the Court that the evidence that I've been&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 denied and the discovery that I've been denied&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 absolutely influenced the outcome of this case. And,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 therefore, I believe that I have established that bias&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 has occurred and I believe that the Court should remove&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 itself from this matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14 And unless you have any questions, that's all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 I have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 THE COURT: I have no questions, Mr. Mashak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17 Thank you. We will recess this hearing at this time. I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 will issue a written order on your motion. If you wish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19 to address the ADA concerns, I will go into a private&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20 session so that we can privately communicate about that,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 if you wish to do that, Mr. Mashak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 MR. MASHAK: I would wish to do that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23 THE COURT: All right. That means we're going&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24 to close the courtroom, ma'am, if you wouldn't mind&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 stepping out.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div id="AOLMsgPart_2_d72df3be-26bf-4d5a-9184-653a6bf0c467"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;   &lt;div&gt;Hello&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just to document the recent events:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 3 weeks or more now Judge Yunker has refused to set any hearing date for us before the December 17, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
Discovery and dispositive motion deadline?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Opposing Counsel has not returned your calls for discovery and depositions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because of how late this is all happening it will be more expensive for me, expedited transcripts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And it is likely Yunker will rule against us based on her being corrupt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And we can appeal but that will be expensive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the otherside will not settle because Judge Yunker has telegraphed to them that the fix is in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, As I understand it this is one way that fixes are done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will not be allowed to do discovery so I cannot introduce evidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is evidenced by Yunker cancelling the 9/15/2010 hearing and promoting a summary judgment hearing&lt;br /&gt;
by the Defense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You understand that I want a Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment heard.&amp;nbsp; I have already done one&lt;br /&gt;
that has already been submitted but I would expect it to be updated with new evidence....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;portion attorney="" client="" for="" privilege="" redacted=""&gt; &lt;/portion&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Minnesota Judges want to take away our right to vote for Judges in  meaningul, contested elections and we are not going to let them.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The next meeting of the TEA Party Transparency, Accountability and  Reform Judicial Reform Committee will be held Sunday December 26, 2010  at 2:00PM.&amp;nbsp; We will meet at Perkins Restaurant, St. Paul Midway area,  1544 University Avenue West, near the intersection of Snelling and  University Avenues (about a block North of Snelling and I-94).(&lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/place?oe=utf-8&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;um=1&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;q=perkins+1544+university+st+paul+mn&amp;amp;fb=1&amp;amp;gl=us&amp;amp;hq=perkins+1544+university&amp;amp;hnear=St+Paul,+MN&amp;amp;cid=12620441594466207367"&gt;map&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In another article, I wrote about some &lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/independent-in-minneapolis/judicial-corruption-suggested-reading-minnesota-usa" rel="nofollow"&gt;suggested readings to understand the extent of the problem of judicial corruption in Minnesota&lt;/a&gt;.  This document represents 5 years of drafting and redrafting of  individual proposals to address specific area of reform, many of which  were contained in the last bienniums bills &lt;a href="http://donmashakjudicialreformaccountability.blogspot.com/2009/12/open-letter-to-citizens-of-state-of.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;HR 1632 Minnesota Judicial Reform and Accountability&lt;/a&gt;. This is the current iteration of one avenue of Judicial Reform that TPTAR's Judiciary committee is pursuing.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is an except from an article I wrote on Examiner.com:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;"&lt;i&gt;These books and literature should be of interest of you, especially if you think you might ever have to appear before a judge..&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;In Minnesota we have Judges trying to take away our right to vote for Judges in contested elections.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;The rational of these judges is that allegedly there is little or no corruption  in Minnesota.They then go on to say that we must protect this allegedly  near perfect system from the corrupting influence of campaign  Contributions and Political parties.(&lt;a href="http://minnlawyer.com/jdr/2010/10/27/im-running-for-judge-and-i-approve-this-message/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;focus on the comments, not the main article propaganda of this link&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;But the Black Robed (redacted for decorum) Judges of Minnesota's  entire premise that there is little or no corruption in Minnesota has  been fraudulently manufactured. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;For the past 5 years the Minnesota House and Senate Judiciary Committees have &lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/independent-in-minneapolis/true-to-character-minnesota-senate-judiciary-chair-meemoua-d-67-reneges-on-commitment-to-meet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;refused to hear evidence of corruption in the Minnesota Judiciary&lt;/a&gt;. As a symptom of the systemic corruption in Minnesota Government, Hundreds of Minnesota Citizens have been denied their &lt;a href="http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/petition/overview.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;first amendment right to petition the Government with our grievances&lt;/a&gt; without actual or threatened retaliation......&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Overcoming Government Legal Failure (Oakland, CA; 12/9/10)</title><content type="html">!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"If we want to reform the legal system, we must change the rules of  the game so that the individual incentives of judges, lawyers, juries,  and other legal actors motivate them to act in the larger social  interest." So argues &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.independent.org/aboutus/person_detail.asp?id=158" target="_blank"&gt;Edward Lopéz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.independent.org/store/book_detail.asp?bookID=86" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Pursuit of Justice&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;,  a thoroughgoing book on government legal failure--the bureaucratization  and politicization of the U.S. legal system and how the law really  works in practice rather than in theory. From fingerprinting to criminal  sentencing, from lawyer licensing to judicial selection, and from  eminent domain to wealth transfers via class-action lawsuits, how do  perverse incentives impact the law and what reforms would create a more  just and efficient legal system?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Join Professor Lopéz (San Jose State University), &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.independent.org/aboutus/person_detail.asp?id=139" target="_blank"&gt;David Friedman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (Santa Clara University), and &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.independent.org/aboutus/person_detail.asp?id=1512" target="_blank"&gt;Judge Alex Kozinski&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;  (U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit) as they discuss the faulty  incentives at the heart of legal failures and whether market-based  reforms would create a more just and efficient system of law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Speakers:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Edward Lopéz&lt;/b&gt; is Associate Professor of Law and Economics, San Jose State University. He is the editor of &lt;i&gt;The Pursuit of Justice&lt;/i&gt;, a path-breaking analysis of the problems of the U.S. legal system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;David Friedman&lt;/b&gt; is Professor of Law, Santa Clara University.

Everyone interested in law and economics should read it."&lt;br /&gt;
--Tyler Cowen, Holbert C. Harris Chair of Economics, George Mason University, co-author, MarginalRevolution.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"&lt;i&gt;The Pursuit of Justice&lt;/i&gt; does a wonderful job of using  modern methods of social science to examine the actual effects of law,  as differentiated from its apparent intent. This volume offers  substantial insight into the way the legal system works in practice, and  how it can be improved."&lt;br /&gt;
--Randall G. Holcombe, DeVoe Moore Professor of Economics, Florida State University&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Judges, police, prosecutors and lawyers are all people with  their own goals and constraints. They may care about social welfare,  but they certainly care about other things as well. The discipline of  Public Choice has contributed greatly to our understanding of political  behavior by taking this perspective with respect to politicians. &lt;i&gt;The Pursuit of Justice&lt;/i&gt;  begins the very important process of applying this insight to the  functioning of the legal system. The American legal system has many  flaws, and this most insightful book will contribute both to  understanding the source of these flaws and then to fixing them."&lt;br /&gt;

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (September 24, 2010) – North Star&lt;br /&gt;
Tea Party Patriots, a recently announced coalition of Tea&lt;br /&gt;
Party groups in Minnesota, will hold a Judicial Town Hall in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Monticello&amp;nbsp; MN Wednesday,&amp;nbsp; September 29th, 2010&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

council chambers of Monticello otherwise Known at the&lt;br /&gt;
Mississippi Room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Candidates will give brief Biographies and then field&lt;br /&gt;

13 of the 24 candidates seeking election to the open seat in Court 3 of&lt;br /&gt;
Minnesota’s 10th Judicial District have confirmed their participation in the&lt;br /&gt;
forum. The race is the most widely contested judicial election in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
The vast majority of judicial incumbents will go unchallenged this November.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_APEA0yKqYbU/TJ4Jd0vBPEI/AAAAAAAACLE/CzPRLFdGFsY/s1600/GregWersalMinnesotaSupremeCourtJusticeflippedtext800x1066.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_APEA0yKqYbU/TJ4Jd0vBPEI/AAAAAAAACLE/CzPRLFdGFsY/s320/GregWersalMinnesotaSupremeCourtJusticeflippedtext800x1066.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;To the best of our knowledge, this will be the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;first Judicial Forum of this type in the history&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;of the State of Minnesota.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It comes in the wake of several legal victories by&lt;br /&gt;
contested judicial election advocate and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://wersalforjustice.com/"&gt;Minnesota Supreme Court Candidate&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://wersalforjustice.com/"&gt;Greg Wersal&lt;/a&gt;, attorneys seeking election to the&lt;br /&gt;
bench in Minnesota have greater latitude than&lt;br /&gt;
they have in the past to express their views on&lt;br /&gt;
legal and political issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of these suits,&amp;nbsp; the US Supreme Court&lt;br /&gt;
has struck down many restrictions that Minnesota&lt;br /&gt;
previously placed on Candidates for Judge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Minnesota Tenth Judicial District includes the Minnesota Counties of Wright,&lt;br /&gt;
Washington, Sherburne, Pined, Kanabec, Isanti, Chisago, Anoka.&amp;nbsp; These Counties&lt;br /&gt;
respective County Seats are, Buffalo, Elk River, Pine City, Mora, Cambrige,&lt;br /&gt;
Center City, Anoka. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minnesota North Star Tea Party Patriots hopes to provide voters&lt;br /&gt;
in the 10th District the opportunity to cast their ballot as informed&lt;br /&gt;
as possible.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;YOU KNOW THAT LONG LIST OF JUDGES' NAMES AT THE END OF&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;THE BALLOT WITH NAMES OF PEOPLE YOU DO NOT KNOW...&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;u&gt;THIS YEAR, YOU MUST NOT IGNORE IT BECAUSE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;SOMETHING EVIL THIS WAY COMES:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;YOUR LEGISLATORS AND JUDGES ARE CONSPIRING TO TAKE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;AWAY YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO VOTE FOR JUDGES....&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
THEY CAN DRESS IT UP AND PITCH IT ANY WAY THEY WANT BUT&lt;br /&gt;
JUST REMEMBER ONE THING.... OUR GOVERNMENT WANTS THIS,&lt;br /&gt;
OUR GOVERNMENT IS PROMOTING THIS...&lt;br /&gt;
DO YOU THINK A CHANGE THE GOVERNMENT IS PUSHING WILL&lt;br /&gt;
BENEFIT THE AVERAGE CITIZEN OR THEM?.&lt;br /&gt;

MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT JUDGE.  &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;GREG WERSAL VIGOROUSLY&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;OPPOSES THE GOVERNMENT TAKING AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;FOR YOUR JUDGES.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
GREG WERSAL BELIEVES JUDGES ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS NOT ROYALTY.&lt;br /&gt;
SUPREME COURT CANDIDATE GREG WERSAL BELIEVES JUDGES SHOULD&lt;br /&gt;
BE HONEST AND ACCOUNTABLE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GREG WERSAL HAS TAKEN ON, FOUGHT AND BEAT THE STATUS QUO.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WITH MULTIPLE RULINGS HE HAS WON AT THE US SUPREME COURT LEVEL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WHO DO YOU THINK WILL REPRESENT YOU BETTER?  JUDGES THAT GO&lt;br /&gt;
ALONG WITH THE STATUS QUO OR THOSE PERSONS WHO HAVE&lt;br /&gt;
DEMONSTRATED BY DEED THEIR WILLINGNESS TO HOLD THE STATUS QUO &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ACCOUNTABLE TO THE CONSTITUTION AND THE RULE OF LAW?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;THIS TYRANNICAL ATTEMPT TO TAKE AWAY&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO VOTE FOR&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;JUDGES DEMANDS WE TAKE ACTION AND PAY&lt;br /&gt;
ATTENTION TO THOSE JUDICIAL RACES ON&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE BACK PAGE OF THE BALLOT THIS FALL. &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
AGAIN, PLEASE SUPPORT GREG WERSAL&lt;br /&gt;
FOR MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT JUDGE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still not convinced....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would you like the ability to talk to Judicial Candidates just like talking to you next&lt;br /&gt;
door neighbor?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Go to "&lt;a href="http://justiceinmn.com/"&gt;Justice in Minnesota&lt;/a&gt;" and click on Events.&lt;br /&gt;
Most Sunday nights they have "Judicial Teleconferences" with Judges from all over the state&lt;br /&gt;
calling in.  They is always a portion of each teleconference that is kinda "over the back fence"&lt;br /&gt;
laid back in nature. Ask those questions that those "black robed Royalty" smugly and&lt;br /&gt;
arrogantly refuse to answer.  I think a willingness to take questions "without a net" is a pretty&lt;br /&gt;
good measure of a Judge's Integrity and attitude toward common citizens. Please join us.&lt;br /&gt;

Many of our Founding Father's are noted as important figures in the Enlightenment Movement.( Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, Paine [ &lt;a href="http://digg.com/d31Wu82?t%20"&gt;http://digg.com/d31Wu82?t &lt;/a&gt; ] ) And these same Founding Fathers incorporated many of the principles developed during The Enlightenment into our Constitution and Bill of Rights.  Among these then radical thoughts were "Natural Law" , "Uncircumscribed Rational Thought", "Consent of the Governed", "Equality of Citizens and Sovereigns", "Self-Determination",  "Public Sphere (Opinion)", "Property Rights" and "Absolute Truth". &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Minnesota Legislature wants to take away your right to vote for  judges.&amp;nbsp; They want the Governor to appointment them to prevent citizens  from voting crooked judges out for outrageous behavior. Enough said on  that topic for now.&lt;br /&gt;
Those of you that have been following my writing know that I have been involved with a group in pursuing Minnesota Judicial Reform and Accountability.&amp;nbsp; And you know this group of Patriots has been trying to get Minnesota Judicial Reform and Accountability heard for four years. &lt;br /&gt;
For those of you that have not been following my writing you can read of some of the outrageous antics of the Minnesota Legislature's attempts to prevent Minnesota Judicial Reform and , Accountability from being heard. Here is a list of my related articles on this judicial saga&amp;nbsp; in reverse chronological order....&lt;br /&gt;

I write this articles, as I do all my articles, with the same intent of Thomas Paine.&lt;br /&gt;
I seek no leadership role, I seek only to allow the the American people to find their own way using their own common sense.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This is a Rally to force the Minnesota Legislature to hear testimony on Judicial Corruption in the State of Minnesota. Further, to force the legislature to hear and debate proposed MN HR 1632 and Grand Jury Legislation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WE THE PE0PLE have allowed our Minnesota Judiciary to become corrupt. Instead of the rule of law we now have whim of judges and justice to the highest bidder. The Legislature has abdicated its duty to oversee and discipline judges. Judges have written rules that allow them to take tips, otherwise known as bribes. They have their own rules that say they don't have to follow their own rules. They even have rules that say they don't have to follow state statutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FOR FOUR YEARS A GROUP OF PATRIOTS HAVE UNSUCCESSFULLY FOUGHT TO HAVE THIS TESTIMONY AND LEGISLATION HEARD IN MINNESOTA SENATE AND HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEES.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Chair persons of those committees, Senator Moua and Representative Mullery have successfully prevented hearing of testimony and the legislation by their whim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have been told that if we can put 5000 people on the Capital Steps, the Legislature will be force to hear theses matters by the weight of public opinion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently the following people will be speaking:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Representative Dan Severson = Author of HR 1632&lt;br /&gt;
Jack Graham - Candidate for Minnesota Attorney General&lt;br /&gt;
Tim Kinley - Christian imprisoned for using the bible to teach religion to his own children&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This list will grow as we get confirmations from other speakers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have an interest in speaking, Please let us know.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you think the Family Courts and Divorce should be reformed, this rally is the place to be!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you think minorities are unjustly treated by judges, this rally is the place to be!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you think you should be able to continue to vote for judges, this rally is the place to be!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are dissatisfied with the Minnesota Judiciary for any other reason, this is the place to be!&lt;br /&gt;

Minnesota Legislature Ad Hoc Committee on Judicial Corruption March 2009, Part 1 of 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" id="videoplayback" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=5471301862652514464&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=true" style="height: 246px; width: 320px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The House and Senate Judiciary Committee refused to allow testimony, hence this "Ad Hoc Committee Setting. For 4 years, a coalition of groups and Citizens have tried to have legislation on Judicial REform and Accountability heard in both houses of the Minnesota Legislature. Senator Mee Moua of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Representative Joe Mullery of the House Judiciary Committee refuse to allow testimony to be heard and legislation to be brought forward. Senator Moua and Representative Mullery, do you think 4 years of diligent Citizen lobbying is sufficient to have Committee hearings this year?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
