LANCASTER COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS

CIVIL DIVISION

In Re: STANLEY J. CATERBONE


and ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP,
PLANTIFFS
Case No. 08-13373
v.
DUKE STREET BUSINESS CENTER, et.al.,
of Lancaster Pennsylvania
DEFENDANTS

APPEAL FOR RECONSIDERATION for IN FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS


AND NOW, on this 16th day of October, 2015 I, STANLEY J. CATERBONE and ADVANCED
MEDIA GROUP, Petitioners, appearing pro se, do hereby file the Appeal for Reconsideration
pertaining to the REJECTION NOTICE with the Transaction ID:57985968 filed on October 8 th , 2015
DENYING the Praecipe to reinstate claiming the following Praecipe to reinstate requires a filing of
$8.75.

PA State Rules require a party to inform the court of improvement in financial

circumstances. Your most recent IFP was denied. The IFP granted in this case is from 2008.

If the Court and or the LANCASTER COUNTY PROTHONOTARY OFFICE would consider the
legal circumstances surrounding my Whistleblowing activities and the Federal False Claims Act
filing of the Petitioner as it relates to the past 28 years and the myriad of violations of the
Lancaster County District Attorney, the Petitioner will argue that it is wholly unfair and
unconstitutional not to grant the Petitioner In Forma Pauperis Status. The Petitioner has filed
ample evidence of a pattern and relentless cycle of earning and accumulating capital and assets,
as well building substantial worth through his business interests, only to have it all extorted
through an elaborate civil and criminal scheme to defruad. Therefore any attempt to subject
the Petitioner to more court related fees is only a continuation of that same said fraud.

The above captioned case contains all the said evidence needed to support my
claims. If need be, there are several cases in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania, such as 05-2288 and 06-4650 that will suffice.

In

addition I am claiming that this rejection was also in retaliation for my recent appeal to
the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in regards to Lisa Lambert v. Superintendent
Framingham MCI, et al.

I am only several weeks away from a decision by a Panel of Third Circuit Judges
that may set Lisa Michelle Lambert FREE for the rest of her natural life!

In addition,

before the same said panel is an argument to grant me SUMMARY JUDGEMENT in all
federal and state court cases of which I am the PLAINTIFF seeking redress.
Consideration should be given to Pederson v. South Williamsport Area School District,
where the courts interpreted due process, as Essentially fundamental fairness is exactly what due
process means. Furthermore, the United States District Courts in Perry v. Coyler (1978, 524 F
2d. 644) have concluded the following:

Even the probability of unfairness can result in a

defendant being deprived of his due process rights. The focus of these claims are recorded in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, 05-2288 and 06-4650. In
addition the Petioner is the MOVANT in the Lisa Michelle Lambrerrt Case and recently filed a
Motion for Summary Judgment, 04-2559, which was recently appealed to the Third Circuit Court
of Appeals.

The preceding cases have been preserved by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in

case no. 07-4474, see attached.

The prosecutorial misconduct the the Petitioner has been subject to has violated his
constitutional rights, but more importantly the abuse or process has prevented the Petitioner from
completing a wealth of claims in both state and federal Courts. 1983 Civil Rights Acts and 18
U.S.C.A. Acts state the following: The underlying purpose of the scheme of protecting
constitutional rights are to permit victims of constitutional violations to obtain redress, to provide
for federal prosecution of serious constitutional violations when state criminal proceedings are
ineffective for purpose of deterring violations and to strike a balance between protection of
individual rights from state infringement and protection from state and local government from
federal interference, 18 U.S.C.A. 241, 242; U.S.C.A. Const. Art. 2, 53; Amend. 13, 14, 5,
15, 2: 42 U.S.C.A. 1981-1982, 1985, 1988, Fed. Rules Civil Proc. Rule 28, U.S.C.A.

A case can be made for a RICO violation as defined in the case of United States v. Holck,
389 F. Supp. 2d. 338, criminal responsibility defines single or multiple conspiracies by the
following: Governments, without committing variance between single conspiracy charges in an

Page 2 of 90

Friday, October 16, 2015

indictment and its proof at trial may establish existence at continuing core conspiracy which
attracts different members at different times and which involves different subgroups committing
acts in furtherance of an overall plan. This illustrates the legal analysis of the 1987 conspiracy to
cover-up my International Signal & Control, Plc., whistle blowing activities.

The attached 29 False Arrests, which under Pennsylvania Law, constitute a conspiracy that
may be proved by circumstantial evidence that is by acts and circumstances sufficient to warrant
an inference that the unlawful combination has been in front of

facts formed for the purpose

charged. See Walcker v. North Wales Boro, 395 F. Supp. 2d. 219. In the same case the following
was supported: Arrestees allegations that the township (Conestoga) and its police officers were
acting in concert and conspiracy and with the purpose of violating arrestees constitutional rights
by subjecting him to unreasonable force, arrest, search, and malicious prosecution and the two
(2) or more officers acted together in throwing arrestee to the ground (April 5th, 2006 and August
4th, 2006) and forcing him to take two (2) blood tests and holding him in custody. The preceding
pleaded civil conspiracy claims under Pennsylvania Law.

In order to state a claim for civil conspiracy and a cause of action under Pennsylvania Law, a
plaintiff must allege that two (2) or more persons agree or combine with lawful intent to do an
unlawful act or to do an otherwise lawful act by unlawful means, with proof of malice with
intent to injure the person, his/her property and or business. In the case of United States v.
Holck, 389 F. Supp. 2d. 338, criminal responsibility defines single or multiple conspiracies by
the following: Governments, without committing variance between single conspiracy charges
in an indictment and its proof at trial may establish existence at continuing core conspiracy
which attracts different members at different times and which involves different subgroups
committing acts in furtherance of an overall plan. 1983 Civil Rights Acts and 18 U.S.C.A.
Acts state the following: The underlying purpose of the scheme of protecting constitutional
rights are to permit victims of constitutional violations to obtain redress, to provide for federal
prosecution of serious constitutional violations when state criminal proceedings are ineffective
for purpose of deterring violations and to strike a balance between protection of individual
rights from state infringement and protection from state and local government from federal
interference, 18 U.S.C.A. 241, 242; U.S.C.A. Const. Art. 2, 53; Amend. 13, 14, 5, 15,
2: 42 U.S.C.A. 1981-1982, 1985, 1988, Fed. Rules Civil Proc. Rule 28, U.S.C.A.

Under RICO, a person or group who commits any two of 35 crimes27 federal crimes and
8 state crimeswithin a 10-year period and, in the opinion of the US Attorney bringing the case,
has committed those crimes with similar purpose or results can be charged with racketeering.
Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and/or sentenced to 20 years in

Page 3 of 90

Friday, October 16, 2015

prison. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business
gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity." The act also contains a civil component that
allows plaintiffs to sue for triple damages. When the U.S. Attorney decides to indict someone
under RICO, he has the option of seeking a pre-trial restraining order or injunction to prevent the
transfer of potentially forfeitable property, as well as require the defendant to put up a
performance bond. This provision is intended to force a defendant to plead guilty before
indictment. There is also a provision for private parties to sue. A "person damaged in his business
or property" can sue one or more "racketeers." There must also be an "enterprise." The
defendant(s) are not the enterprise, in other words, the defendant(s) and the enterprise are not
one and the same. There must be one of four specified relationships between the defendant(s)
and the enterprise. This lawsuit, like all Federal civil lawsuits, can take place in either Federal or
State court.

Where RICO laws might be applied1


Although some of the RICO predicate acts are extortion and blackmail, one of the most
Successful applications of the RICO laws has been the ability to indict or sanction individuals for
their behavior and actions committed against witnesses and victims in alleged retaliation or
retribution for cooperating with law enforcement or intelligence agencies. The RICO laws can be
alleged in cases where civil lawsuits or criminal charges are brought against individuals or
corporations in retaliation for said individuals or corporations working with law enforcement, or
against individuals or corporations who have sued or filed criminal charges against a defendant.

Anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) laws can be applied in an attempt
to curb alleged abuses of the legal system by individuals or corporations who utilize the courts as
a weapon to retaliate against whistle blowers, victims, or to silence another's speech. RICO could
be alleged if it can be shown that lawyers and/or their clients conspired and collaborated to
concoct fictitious legal complaints solely in retribution and retaliation for themselves having been
brought before the courts.

These laws also apply to victims of clergy abuse where statute of

limitations has run out.

Court Appointed Amicus Curiae on Behalf of the Court
Duane Moms LLP
1940 Route 70 East
Cherry Hill, NJ 08003
OPINION OF THE COURT
BARRY, Circuit Judge
This case involves an lUltimely notice of appeal to the
District Court after the Bankruptcy Court's dismissal, for
cause, of a Chapter 11 petition. The question before us is
whether, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 158(c)(2) and the Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, an lllltimely filing such as the
one at issue here deprives subsequent reviewing courts-here,
both. the District Court and this Court-of jurisdiction over
the appeal. We conclude that it does. Accordingly, we will
dismiss the instant aj>peal and remand to the District Court
with instructions to dismiss the appeal to it from the
Bankruptcy Court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

I. Background
Appellant Stanley J. Caterbone filed a Chapter 11
bankruptcy petition in May 2005. The United States Trustee
subsequently moved to dismiss the petition for cause, and the
Bankruptcy Court granted the motion on October 3, 2006,
citing various substantive and procedural deficiencies. See 11
u.s.c. l l 12{b).
The order of dismissal was mailed to Caterbone by
first class mail on October S, 2006. On October 16, he sent a
notice of appeal by first class mail and electronic mail.
However, the notice of appeal was filed with the District
Court on October 19; rendering it lllltimely because it
occurred outside the ten-day window, then in place, for filing

Case: 072151

oocu&~~:~3q\04&1~9 ~abl: 3

Date Filed: 04104/2011

a notice of appeal. See Fed. R. Banlcr. P. 8002(a) (2006).1 It


is undisputed that Caterbone did not file a "request to extend
the time for filing a notice of appeal ... by written motion ...
before the time for filing a notice of appeal ha[d] expired,"
nor did the Bankruptcy Court grant such an extension
following "a motion filed not later than 20 days after the
expiration of the time for.filing a notice of appeal .. upon a

showing of excusable neglect" Id 8002(c)(2).


Despite its untimely ftling, Caterbone's appeal was
docketed in the District Court on November 14, and the
Trustee did not argue that it was untimely. On March 15,
2007, the Court sua sponte dismissed the appeal, citing
Caterbone's failure to comply with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8006,
which requires that a petitioner designate "items to be
included in the record on appeal and a statement of the issues
to be presented" Caterbone appealed to this Court. Shortly
thereafter, the Trustee moved to dismiss the appeal, citing, for
the first time, Caterbone's initial lllltimely notice of appeal,
and arguing that, as a result of the untimely filing, the District
Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction.
Following various intervening events, including the
appointment of amicus curiae, the case is now before us. The
Trustee argues that, consistent with Bowles v. Russell, 551
1

In amending Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8002(a), effective


December 1, 2009, to expand the time for filing a notice of
appeal to fourteen days, the Supreme Court's accompanying
Order provided that the amendment "shall govern in all
proceedings in bankruptcy cases thereafter commenced and,
insofar as just and practicable, all proceedings then pending."
Supreme Court of the United States, Order Amending Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (Mar. 26, 2009). The Trustee
argues that the "just and practicable" rationale is inapplicable
here. Moreover, the Trustee notes that Caterbone's notice of
appeal was dated, but not filed, on Ociober 16, and argues,
persuasively in our view, that even if the expanded period
were to apply, the notice of appeal was still untimely because
it was filed the sixteenth day after entry of the Bankruptcy
Court's order.

Case: 07-2151 Docu~ei~~lRF.J.1~04- 4 q\/Je: 4 Date Filed: 04/04/2011

U.S. 205 (2007), Section 158(c)(2) established a mandatory,


jurisdictional deadline that statutorily encompasses Rule
8002(a)'s specified timeline for. appealing the judgment of a
bankruptcy court, such that the timeline is not. akin to a
freestanding, waivable "claim-processing rule'' within the
meaning of Kontrick v. Ryan, 540 U.S. 443 (2004). Amicus
argues similarly. Caterbone, on the other hand, elides the
Bowles analysis and argues, inter alia, that his untimely filing
should be addressed, and excused, under the standard of
"excusable neglect" set forth in Pioneer Inv. Servs. Co. v.
Bnmswick.A.ssocs. Ltd. P'ship, 507 U.S. 380 (1993).
For the reasons explained below, we hold that the
prescribed timeline within which an appeal from a banktuptcy
court must be filed is mandatory and jurisdictional, thus
affirming, in light of Bowles, the rule that we applied in
Shareholders v. Sound Radio, Inc., 109 F.3d 873, 879 (3d
Cir. 1997).
Il. Jurisdiction and Standard of Review

Jurisdiction is the threshold issue in this case, and we


must address its relevance both to the decision rendered by
the District Court, and to our review of that decision. Thus,
as an initial matter, we note that we have jurisdiction over the
final decision that the District Court rendered on Caterbone's
appeal from the Bankruptcy Court. 28 U.S.C. 158(d)(l).
Our authority includes reviewing whether the District Court's
own exercise ofjurisdiction, per 158(a}, was proper. That
is because "subject-matter jurisdiction, because it involves a
court's power to hear a case, can never be forfeited or
waived[, such that courts] ... have an independent obligation
to determine whether subject-matter jurisdiction exists, even
in the absence of a challenge from any party." .Arbaugh v. Y
& H Corp., 546 U.S. 500, 514 (2006) (internal quotation
marks and citation omitted).

Ordinarily, we apply plenary review to final orders of


a district court sitting as an appellate court reviewing the
decision of a bankruptcy court. In re Carnegie Ctr. .A.ssocs.,
129 F.3d 290, 294 (3d Cir. 1997). However, following from

our obligation to detennine the threshold issue of subject


matter jurisdiction, see Arbaugh, 546 U.S. at .514, and where,
as here, a party "contest[sl our jurisdiction and that of the
District Court, ... (w]e exercise de novo review over [the]
question[] of subject matter jurisdiction." Great W. Mining &
Mineral Co. v. Fox Rothschild LLP, 615 F.3d 159, 163 (3d
Cir. 2010). This is the case even where, again as here, a
district court "exercis[es its] jurisdiction" and dismisses a
cause of action for some other reason. Id If our independent
review yields the conclusion that the District Court lacked
subject matter jurisdiction over an appeal from the
Bankruptcy Court, the appropriate.disposition is dismissal of
the appeal. In re Caribbean Tubular Corp., 813 F.2d 533,
S3S (1st Cir. 1987) (holding that where it is found that a
district court lacked appellate jurisdiction over a bankruptcy
court order, the court of appeals must dismiss the appeal to it,
and remand to the district court with instructions to vacate its
order and to dismiss the appeal from the bankruptcy court).

ID. Discussion
An appeal from a decision of a bankruptcy court is
subject to the requirements of 28 U.S.C. 158(cX2), which
provides that appeals "shall be taken in the same manner as
appeals in civil proceedings generally are taken to the courts
of appeals from the district courts and in the time provided by
Rule 8002 of the Bankruptcy Rules." When Caterbone filed
his appeal, that rule provided, in relevant part, that "notice of
appeal shall be filed with the clerk within 10 days of the date
of the entry of the judgment, order, or decree appealed :from."
Fed. R. Banlcr. P. 8002(a) (2006).

Although Kontrick affmned as "'axiomatic"' the


proposition that requirements contained in a bankruptcy rule
alone are not jurisdictional (and, hence, are waivable), 540
U.S. at 453 (citation omitted), Section 158 provides the
statutory basis for the courts' jurisdiction over bankruptcy
appeals.
See 28 U.S.C. 158(a) & (d) (specifying
circumstances of "district courts['] . . . jurisdiction to hear
appeals" and the "courts of appeals['] . . . jurisdiction").
Because Section 158 also specifies the time within which an

appeal must be taken-i.e., "in the time provided by Rule


8002"-that requirement is jurisdictional.
As Bowles
clarified, both acknowledging and distinguishing Kontrick,
''the taking. of an appeal within [a statutorily] prescribed time
is mandatory and jurisdictional." 551 U.S. at 209 (internal
quotation marks and citations omitted). Accordingly, "failure
to file [a] notice of appeal in accordance with the statute
therefore deprive[s] u [courts) of jurisdiction[, and bars a
party from) ... rely[ing) on forfeiture or waiver to excuse [a]
lack of compliance with the statute's time limitations." Id. at
213 (citation omitted).
Here, even though it is a bankruptcy rule that specifies
the time within which an appeal must be filed, the statutory
incorporation of that rule renders its requirement statutory
and, hence, jurisdictional and non-waivable. As the Supreme
Court recently observed, while "the distinction between
jurisdictional conditions [i.e., a la Bowles) and claimprocessing rules [i.e., a la Kontrick] can be confusing in
practice[,] ... Bowles stands for the proposition that context,
including th[e] Court's interpretation of similar provisions in
many years past, is relevant to whether a statute ranks a
requirement as jurisdictional." Reed Elsevier, Inc. v.
Muchnick, 130 S. Ct 1237, 1243, 1247-48 (2010).
Beyond the fact that the statutory text of Section
158(cX2) incorporates a time condition, historical context
also supports our holding. Prior to Kontrick and Bowles, we
regarded Rule 8002(a)'s time limit for filing a notice of
appeal as jmisdictional. See Shareholtkrs, 109 F .3d at 879;
Whitemere Dev. Corp., Inc. v. Cherry Hill Twp., 786 F.2d
185, 187 (3d Cir. 1986); In re Universal Minerals, Inc., 155
F.2d 309, 311 (3d Cir. 1985). Kontrick-and, later, Eberhart
v. United States, 546 U.S. 12 (2005}-arguably provided the
opportunity to question whether this rule remained correct.
That being said, a careful reading of Kontrick, Bowles, and
Reed Elsevier confirms that the rule we affirmed in
Shareholders, Whitemere, and Universal Minerals remains
the rule today.
In holding that time constraints for objecting to a

discharge in bankruptcy are non-jurisdictional "claimprocessing rules," Kontriclc noted that Congress's statutory
grant of jurisdiction to the courts to adjudicate discharges in
bankruptcy contains no reference to a time condition. 540
U.S. at 452-53 (citing 28 U.S.C. 157(b)(l), (b)(2)(1), and
(b)(2)(J)).2 To the contrary, in holding that the statutorilyprescribed time provision for filing an appeal in a federal
habeas corpus proceeding is jurisdictional, Bowles expressly
stated: "Today we make clear that the timely filing of a notice
of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictionalrequirement." 551
U.S. at 214. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that .Arbaugh
could be read to state that a clear statement rule applies to
Congress, s identification of a statutory limitation as
juri$dictional, see 546 U.S. at 515-16,3 Reed Elsevier more
recently clarified that, again ala Bowles,
the relevant question . . . is not . . . whether [a
particular statutory provision] itself has long
2

Likewise, in Eberhart, 546 U.S. at 16, 21, the Court


concluded that time provisions in the Federal Rules of
Criminal Procedure were non-jurisdictional, and thus
waivable. In Arbaugh, 546 U.S. at 515, the Court concluded
that a numerical provision affecting Title VII claims, but
which was separate from Title Vll's jurisdictional provision,
thereby was not jurisdictional.
3

As the Court stated in Arbaugh:


[W]e think it the sounder course to refrain from
constricting 1331 or Title VIl's jurisdictional
provision, and to leave the ball in Congress'
court. If the Legislature clearly states that a

threshold limitation on a statute,s scope shall


count as jurisdictional, then comts and litigants
will be duly instructed and will not be left to
wrestle with the issue. But when Congress does
not rank a statutory limitation on coverage as
jurisdictional, courts should treat the restriction
-as nonjurisdictional in character.
546 U.S. at 515-16 (internal citations and reference
omitted).

been labeled jurisdictional, but whether the type


of limitation that [it) .imposes is one that is
properly .ranked as jurisdictional absent an
express designation. The statutory limitation in
Bowles was of a type that we had long held did
"spetilc in jurisdictional tenns" even absent a
"jurisdictional" label, and nothing about [that
provision's) text or context, or the historical
treatment of that type of limitation, justified a
dep~ from this view.
130 s. Ct. at 1248.

It is evident,. in light of Shareholders, Whitemere, and


Universal Minerals, that we "ha[ve] long held" that Section
IS8{c)(2)'s incorporation of the filing timeline specified in
Rule 8002(a) "speak[s]injurisdictional terms[,] even absent a
jurisdictional label, and [that] nothing about [its] text or
context, or [its] historkal treatment ... justifie[s] a departure
from this view.'' See Reed Elsevier, 130 S. Ct. at 1248.
Because it was both prior to and shortly after Reed Elsevier
that we affinned in non-precedential opinions that the time
requirement for filing a bankruptcy appeal is jurisdictional,
we now take the occasion to so hold in a precedential
opinion.4 Doing so comports with the fact that, unlike the
rules that Eberhart and Kontrick held were non-jurisdictional,
Rule 8002(a)'s time limit is rooted in a congressionallyenacted statute. Se.e Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8002, advisory
committee note (noting that ''th[e] rule is an adaptation of''
Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)); see also Bowles, 551 U.S. at 212, 213
("[A] statute-based filing period for civil cases is
jurisdictional. . . . Because Congress decides whether federal
courts can hear cases at all, it can also detennine when, and
wder what conditions, federal courts can hear them. Put
another way, the notion of subject-matter jurisdiction
obviously extends to . . . when Congress prohibits federal
courts from adjudicating an otherwise legitimate class of

cases after a certain period has elapsed from final judgment."


(internal quotation marks and citations omitted)). Taking all
of this into consideration, we conclude that the rule we
enunciated in Shareholders remains good law.5

Given the fact that subject matter jurisdiction over


Caterbone's appeal to the District Court was, and is,
lacking-and that jurisdictional defect also bars us from
reviewing the merits of his appeal to us-we need not address
the Court's dismissal of his appeal for failure to prosecute.
Nor need we address Caterbone's argument that his
"excusable neglect" saves his untimely filing, given the clear
text of Rule 8002 and the guidance of Shareholders:
Rule 8002(c) ... requires that even in cases of
excusable neglect, the issue must be raised and
the appeal filed within the ... window of Rule
8002 (Rule 8002(a)'s [timeline] for the appeal+
8002(c)'s [timeline] for the extension). The
rule does not allow a party to claim excusable
neglect after the [time period] ha[s] expired.
109 F3d at 879 (internal citations omitted). Finally, we
decline to address Caterbone's remaining arguments, because
they do not pertain to the threshold issue ofjurisdiction.

IV. Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, we will dismiss the instant
appeal and remand to the District Court with instructions to
dismiss Caterbone's appeal from the Bankruptcy Court for
lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

Our conclusion is consistent with the holdings of our

sister circuits that have affirmed that the filing timeline for
bankruptcy appeals is jurisdictional. See In re Latture, 605
F.3d 830, 837 (10th Cir. 2010); In re Wiersma, 483 F.3d 933,

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"RICO" redirects here. For the Better Call Saul episode, see RICO (Better Call Saul). For other uses, see RICO (disambiguation).
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the
RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal
penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal
organization. The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows the leaders of a
syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they ordered others to do or assisted them in doing,
closing a perceived loophole that allowed a person who instructed someone else to, for example,
murder, to be exempt from the trial because he did not actually commit the crime personally.[1]
RICO was enacted by section 901(a) of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 (Pub.L.
91452 (http://legislink.org/us/pl-91-452), 84 Stat. 922 (http://legislink.org/us/stat-84-922),
enacted October 15, 1970), and is codified at 18 U.S.C. ch. 96 (http://www.law.cornell.edu
/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-96) as 18 U.S.C. 1961 (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode
/18/1961.html)1968 (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/1968.html). G. Robert Blakey, an
adviser to the United States Senate Government Operations Committee, drafted the law under
the close supervision of the committee's chairman, Senator John Little McClellan. It was
enacted as Title IX of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, and signed into law by Richard
M. Nixon. While its original use in the 1970s was to prosecute the Mafia as well as others who
were actively engaged in organized crime, its later application has been more widespread.

Summary
Under RICO, a person who has committed "at least two acts of racketeering activity" drawn from a list of 35 crimes27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes
within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering if such acts are related in one of four specified ways to an "enterprise". Those found guilty of
racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and
interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity."
When the U.S. Attorney decides to indict someone under RICO, he or she has the option of seeking a pre-trial restraining order or injunction to temporarily
seize a defendant's assets and prevent the transfer of potentially forfeitable property, as well as require the defendant to put up a performance bond. This

provision was placed in the law because the owners of Mafia-related shell corporations often absconded with the assets. An injunction and/or performance bond
ensures that there is something to seize in the event of a guilty verdict.
In many cases, the threat of a RICO indictment can force defendants to plead guilty to lesser charges, in part because the seizure of assets would make it
difficult to pay a defense attorney. Despite its harsh provisions, a RICO-related charge is considered easy to prove in court, as it focuses on patterns of behavior
as opposed to criminal acts.[2]
RICO also permits a private individual "damaged in his business or property" by a "racketeer" to file a civil suit. The plaintiff must prove the existence of an
"enterprise". The defendant(s) are not the enterprise; in other words, the defendant(s) and the enterprise are not one and the same.[3] There must be one of four
specified relationships between the defendant(s) and the enterprise: either the defendant(s) invested the proceeds of the pattern of racketeering activity into the
enterprise (18 U.S.C. 1962(a)); or the defendant(s) acquired or maintained an interest in, or control of, the enterprise through the pattern of racketeering
activity (subsection (b)); or the defendant(s) conducted or participated in the affairs of the enterprise "through" the pattern of racketeering activity (subsection
(c)); or the defendant(s) conspired to do one of the above (subsection (d)).[4] In essence, the enterprise is either the 'prize,' 'instrument,' 'victim,' or 'perpetrator'
of the racketeers.[5] A civil RICO action can be filed in state or federal court.[6]
Both the criminal and civil components allow the recovery of treble damages (damages in triple the amount of actual/compensatory damages).
Although its primary intent was to deal with organized crime, Blakey said that Congress never intended it to merely apply to the Mob. He once told Time, "We
don't want one set of rules for people whose collars are blue or whose names end in vowels, and another set for those whose collars are white and have Ivy
League diplomas."[2]
Initially, prosecutors were skeptical of using RICO, mainly because it was unproven. However, during the 1980s and 1990s, federal prosecutors utilized the law
to bring charges against several Mafia figures. The first major success was the Mafia Commission Trial, which resulted in several top leaders of New York
City's Five Families getting what amounted to life sentences. By the turn of the century, RICO cases resulted in virtually all of the top leaders of the New York
Mafia being sent to prison.

State laws
Beginning in 1972, 33 states, as well as Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, adopted state RICO laws to cover additional state offenses under a similar
scheme.[7]

RICO predicate offenses


Under the law, the meaning of racketeering activity is set out at 18 U.S.C. 1961 (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/1961.html). As currently amended it
includes:
Any violation of state statutes against gambling, murder, kidnapping, extortion, arson, robbery, bribery, dealing in obscene matter, or dealing in a
controlled substance or listed chemical (as defined in the Controlled Substances Act);
Any act of bribery, counterfeiting, theft, embezzlement, fraud, dealing in obscene matter, obstruction of justice, slavery, racketeering, gambling, money
laundering, commission of murder-for-hire, and many other offenses covered under the Federal criminal code (Title 18);
Embezzlement of union funds;
Bankruptcy fraud or securities fraud;
Drug trafficking; long-term and elaborate drug networks can also be prosecuted using the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute;
Criminal copyright infringement;
Money laundering and related offenses;
Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);
Acts of terrorism.
Pattern of racketeering activity requires at least two acts of racketeering activity, one of which occurred after the effective date of this chapter and the last of
which occurred within ten years (excluding any period of imprisonment) after the commission of a prior act of racketeering activity. The U.S. Supreme Court
has instructed federal courts to follow the continuity-plus-relationship test in order to determine whether the facts of a specific case give rise to an established
pattern. Predicate acts are related if they "have the same or similar purposes, results, participants, victims, or methods of commission, or otherwise are
interrelated by distinguishing characteristics and are not isolated events." (H.J. Inc. v. Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.) Continuity is both a closed and open
ended concept, referring to either a closed period of conduct, or to past conduct that by its nature projects into the future with a threat of repetition.

Application of RICO laws


Although some of the RICO predicate acts are extortion and blackmail, one of the most successful applications of the RICO laws has been the ability to indict
and or sanction individuals for their behavior and actions committed against witnesses and victims in alleged retaliation or retribution for cooperating with
federal law enforcement or intelligence agencies.
Violations of the RICO laws can be alleged in civil lawsuit cases or for criminal charges. In these instances charges can be brought against individuals or
corporations in retaliation for said individuals or corporations working with law enforcement. Further, charges can also be brought against individuals or
corporations who have sued or filed criminal charges against a defendant.
Anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) laws can be applied in an attempt to curb alleged abuses of the legal system by individuals or
corporations who utilize the courts as a weapon to retaliate against whistle blowers, victims, or to silence another's speech. RICO could be alleged if it can be
shown that lawyers and/or their clients conspired and collaborated to concoct fictitious legal complaints solely in retribution and retaliation for themselves
having been brought before the courts.

Although the RICO laws may cover drug trafficking crimes in addition to other more traditional RICO predicate acts such as extortion, blackmail, and
racketeering, large-scale and organized drug networks are now commonly prosecuted under the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute, also known as the
"Kingpin Statute". The CCE laws target only traffickers who are responsible for long-term and elaborate conspiracies; whereas the RICO law covers a variety of
organized criminal behaviors.[8]

Famous cases
Hells Angels Motorcycle Club
In 1979, the United States federal government went after Sonny Barger and several members and associates of the Oakland charter of the Hells Angels using
RICO. In United States v. Barger, the prosecution team attempted to demonstrate a pattern of behavior to convict Barger and other members of the club of
RICO offenses related to guns and illegal drugs. The jury acquitted Barger on the RICO charges with a hung jury on the predicate acts: "There was no proof it
was part of club policy, and as much as they tried, the government could not come up with any incriminating minutes from any of our meetings mentioning
drugs and guns."[9][10]
During the many trials of many Motorcycle Clubs the one that garnered the most attention of the US Government was the Hells Angels case in San Francisco
starting from 1979 to 1983. The US Government had a secret team known as BET= Biker Enforcement Team. It started with the DAGO Chapter of the Hells
Angels, the team whose members included FBI, ATF, DEA, BNE and other agencies. The members were highly secretive and were able to break the law
without recourse as long as they targeted the Hells Angels USA. Some of the members were hand picked from, OCCIB, LEIU, CNIN, PDID and the Organized
Crime Intelligence unit of the San Diego DA's office under the command of DA Ed Miller and his top associated Richard Lewis, others were Ron Dowen OPI
(BET) Scott Barnes (BET-Intelligence records Keeper) J. Kennedy, Fred S. OCCIB and over a dozen others never to be made public.
This unit was so secretive and had access to everything and everyone many who are now deceased, it started in mid 1976 in San Diego and quickly spread
Nationwide until it was exposed in approx. 1980, what was learned was 4 BET members wanted to start a Biker War between the Hells Angels and the
Mongols. It started in San Diego and quickly spread Statewide and beyond. The plan was hatched in a small town in Calif. Santee near San Diego. What the
BET agents did was had 7 Mongol Colors made with the California Rocker on the bottom, knowing the HA's could only have California Rocker, several U/C
agents rode bikes wearing the Mongol Colors around HA's did some bombing aganist them, shootings, kidnappings, gun and dope deals all making it appear the
Angels were doing this and not the Mongols.[11]
When they decided also to have several HA's Colors flying and doing crimes against the Mongols, and vise a verse then both Clubs would think War was on,
and indeed it was starting in San Diego, El Cajon and Statewide the ploy worked and the war became a reality, setting the HA's into a war with the Mongols the
first blatant act was the killing of two Mongols Redbeard and Jingles while they were riding near Escondido. The BET team was the original group to start the
war and it worked.[12][13][14]

Frank Tieri
On November 21, 1980, Genovese crime family boss Frank "Funzi" Tieri was the first Mafia boss to be convicted under the RICO Act.

Catholic sex abuse cases


In some jurisdictions, RICO suits have been filed against Catholic dioceses, using anti-racketeering laws to prosecute the highers-up in the episcopacy for
abuses committed by those under their authority. A Cleveland grand jury cleared two bishops of racketeering charges, finding that their mishandling of sex
abuse claims did not amount to criminal racketeering. Certain lawyers and abuse advocates have openly wondered why a similar suit was not filed against
archbishop Bernard Law prior to his getting reassigned to Vatican City.[15][16]

Gil Dozier
Louisiana Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry Gil Dozier, in office from 1976 to 1980, faced indictment with violations of both the Hobbs and the RICO
laws. He was accused of compelling companies doing business with his department to make campaign contributions on his behalf. On September 23, 1980, the
Baton Rouge-based United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana convicted Dozier of five counts of extortion and racketeering. The sentence
of ten years imprisonment, later upgraded to eighteen when other offenses were determined, and a $25,000 fine was suspended pending appeal, and Dozier
remained free on bail.[17] He eventually served nearly four years until a presidential commutation freed him in 1986.[18]

Key West PD
About June 1984, the Key West Police Department located in the County of Monroe, Florida, was declared a criminal enterprise under the federal RICO statutes
after a lengthy United States Department of Justice investigation. Several high-ranking officers of the department, including Deputy Police Chief Raymond
Cassamayor, were arrested on federal charges of running a protection racket for illegal cocaine smugglers.[19] At trial, a witness testified he routinely delivered
bags of cocaine to the Deputy Chief's office at City Hall.[20]

Michael Milken
On March 29, 1989, American financier Michael Milken was indicted on 98 counts of racketeering and fraud relating to an investigation into an allegation of
insider trading and other offenses. Milken was accused of using a wide-ranging network of contacts to manipulate stock and bond prices. It was one of the first
occasions that a RICO indictment was brought against an individual with no ties to organized crime. Milken pled guilty to six lesser felonies of securities fraud
and tax evasion rather than risk spending the rest of his life in prison, and ended up serving 22 months in prison. Milken was also ordered banned for life from
the securities industry.[21]
On September 7, 1988, Milken's employer, Drexel Burnham Lambert, was threatened with RICO charges respondat superior, the legal doctrine that

corporations are responsible for their employees' crimes. Drexel avoided RICO charges by entering an Alford plea to lesser felonies of stock parking and stock
manipulation. In a carefully worded plea, Drexel said it was "not in a position to dispute the allegations" made by the government. If Drexel had been indicted
for RICO violations, it would have had to post a performance bond of up to $1 billion to avoid having its assets frozen. This would have taken precedence over
all of the firm's other obligationsincluding the loans that provided 96 percent of its capital base. If the bond ever had to be paid, its shareholders would have
been practically wiped out. Since banks will not extend credit to a firm indicted under RICO, an indictment would have likely put Drexel out of business.[22] By
at least one estimate, a RICO indictment would have destroyed the firm within a month.[23] Years later, Drexel president and CEO Fred Joseph said that Drexel
had no choice but to plead guilty because "a financial institution cannot survive a RICO indictment."[24]

Major League Baseball


In 2002, the former minority owners of the Montreal Expos baseball team filed charges under the RICO Act against Major League Baseball commissioner Bud
Selig and former Expos owner Jeffrey Loria, claiming that Selig and Loria deliberately conspired to devalue the team for personal benefit in preparation for a
move.[25] If found liable, Major League Baseball could have been responsible for up to $300 million in punitive damages. The case lasted two years,
successfully stalling the Expos' move to Washington or contraction during that time. It was eventually sent to arbitration where the arbiters ruled in favor of
Major League Baseball,[26] permitting the move to Washington to take place.

Pro-life activists
RICO laws were successfully cited in NOW v. Scheidler, 510 U.S. 249, 114 S. Ct. 798, 127 L.Ed. 2d 99 (1994), a suit in which certain parties, including the
National Organization for Women, sought damages and an injunction against pro-life activists who physically block access to abortion clinics. The Court held
that a RICO enterprise does not need an economic motive, and that the Pro-Life Action Network could therefore qualify as a RICO enterprise. The Court
remanded for consideration of whether PLAN committed the requisite acts in a pattern of racketeering activity.

Los Angeles Police Department


In April 2000, Federal judge William J. Rea in Los Angeles, ruling in one Rampart scandal case, said that the plaintiffs could pursue RICO claims against the
LAPD, an unprecedented finding. The idea that a police organization could be characterized as a racketeering enterprise shook up City Hall and further
damaged the already-tarnished image of the LAPD. However, in July 2001, U.S. District Judge Gary A. Feess said that the plaintiffs do not have standing to sue
the LAPD under RICO because they are alleging personal injuries, rather than economic or property damage.[27]

Mohawk Industries
On April 26, 2006, the Supreme Court heard Mohawk Industries, Inc. v. Williams, No. 05-465 (https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/547/05-465/), 547
U.S. 516 (https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/547/516/) (2006), which concerned what sort of corporations fell under the scope of RICO. Mohawk
Industries had allegedly hired illegal aliens, in violation of RICO. The court was asked to decide whether Mohawk Industries, along with recruiting agencies,
constitutes an 'enterprise' that can be prosecuted under RICO, but in June of that year dismissed the case and remanded it to Court of Appeals.[28]

Latin Kings
On August 20, 2006, in Tampa, Florida, most of the state leadership members of the street gang, the Latin Kings, were arrested in connection with RICO
conspiracy charges to engage in racketeering and currently await trial. The operation, called "Broken Crown", targeted statewide leadership of the Latin Kings.
The raid occurred at the Caribbean American Club. Along with Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office, Tampa Police Department, the State Attorneys Office,
the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were involved in the operation. Included in the
arrest were leader Gilberto Santana from Brooklyn NY, Captain Luis Hernandez from Miami FL, Affiliate Celina Hernandez, Affiliate Michael Rocca, Affiliate
Jessica Ramirez, Affiliate Reinaldo Arroyo, Affiliate Samual Alvarado, Omari Tolbert, Edwin DeLeon, and many others, totaling 39.

Gambino crime family


Also, in Tampa, on October 16, 2006, four members of the Gambino crime family (Capo Ronald Trucchio, Terry Scaglione, Steven Catallono and associate
Kevin McMahon) were tried under RICO statutes, found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

Lucchese Crime Family


In the mid 1990s, prosecuting attorneys Gregory OConnell and Charles Rose used RICO charges to bring down the Lucchese family within an 18-month
period. Dismantling the Lucchese family had a profound financial impact on previously Mafia held businesses such as construction, garment, and garbage
hauling. Here they dominated and extorted money through taxes, dues, and fees. An example of this extortion was through the garbage business. Hauling of
garbage from the World Trade Center cost the building owners $1.2 million per year to be removed when the Mafia monopolized the business, as compared to
$150,000 per year when competitive bids could be sought.[29]

Chicago Outfit
In 2005, the U.S. Department of Justice's Operation Family Secrets indicted 15 Outfit members and associates under RICO predicates. Five defendants were
convicted of RICO violations and other crimes. Six plead guilty, two died before trial and one was too sick to be tried.

Michael Conahan and Mark Ciavarella


A federal grand jury in the Middle District of Pennsylvania handed down a 48-count indictment against former Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judges
Michael Conahan and Mark Ciavarella.[30] The judges were charged with RICO after allegedly committing acts of wire fraud, mail fraud, tax evasion, money

laundering, and honest services fraud. The judges were accused of taking kickbacks for housing juveniles, that the judges convicted of mostly petty crimes, at a
private detention center. The incident was dubbed by many local and national newspapers as the "Kids for cash scandal".[31] On February 18, 2011, a federal
jury found Michael Ciavarella guilty of racketeering because of his involvement in accepting illegal payments from Robert Mericle, the developer of PA Child
Care, and Attorney Robert Powell, a co-owner of the facility. Ciavarella is facing 38 other counts in federal court.[32]

Scott W. Rothstein
Scott W. Rothstein is a disbarred lawyer and the former managing shareholder, chairman, and chief executive officer of the now-defunct Rothstein Rosenfeldt
Adler law firm. He was accused of funding his philanthropy, political contributions, law firm salaries, and an extravagant lifestyle with a massive 1.2 billion
dollar Ponzi scheme. On December 1, 2009, Rothstein turned himself in to federal authorities and was subsequently arrested on charges related to RICO.[33]
Although his arraignment plea was not guilty, Rothstein cooperated with the government and reversed his plea to guilty of five federal crimes on January 27,
2010. Bond was denied by U.S. Magistrate Judge Robin Rosenbaum, who ruled that due to his ability to forge documents, he was considered a flight risk.[34]
On June 9, 2010, Rothstein received a 50-year prison sentence after a hearing in federal court in Fort Lauderdale.[35]

AccessHealthSource
Eleven defendants were indicted on RICO charges for allegedly assisting AccessHealthSource, a local health care provider, in obtaining and maintaining
lucrative contracts with local and state government entities in the city of El Paso, Texas, through bribery of and kickbacks to elected officials or himself and
others, extortion under color of authority, fraudulent schemes and artifices, false pretenses, promises and representations and deprivation of the right of citizens
to the honest services of their elected local officials (see indictment).[36]

FIFA
Fourteen defendants affiliated with FIFA were indicted under the RICO act on 47 counts for "racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracies,
among other offenses, in connection with the defendants participation in a 24-year scheme to enrich themselves through the corruption of international soccer."
The defendants include many current and former high-ranking officers of FIFA and its affiliate CONCACAF. The defendants had allegedly used the enterprise
as a front to collect millions of dollars in bribes which may have influenced Russia and Qatar's winning bids to host the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups
respectively.[37]

Drummond Company
In 2015, the Drummond Company sued attorneys Terrence P. Collingsworth and William R. Scherer, the advocacy group International Rights Advocates
(IRAdvocates), and Dutch businessman Albert van Bilderbeek, one of the owners of Llanos Oil, accusing them of violating RICO by alleging that Drummond
had worked alongside Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia to murder labor union leaders within proximity of their Colombian coal mines, which Drummond
denies.[38]

International equivalents to RICO


The US RICO legislation has other equivalents in the rest of the world. In spite of Interpol having a standardized definition of RICO-like crimes, the
interpretation and national implementation in legislation (and enforcement) widely varies. Most nations cooperate with the US on RICO enforcement only
where their own related laws are specifically broken, but this is in line with the Interpol protocols for such matters.
By nation, alphabetically
In Australia the Australian Crime Commission has powers based on similar legislation and regulations.
In Canada the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions enforce rules and regulations that
cumulatively are equivalent to RICO.
New Zealand has a similar arrangement and commission to Australia.
Without other nations enforcing similar legislation to RICO many cross border RICO cases would not be possible. In the overall body of RICO cases that went
to trial, at least 50% have had some non-US enforcement component to them. The offshoring of money away from the US finance system as part racketeering
(and especially money laundering) is typically a major contributing factor to this.
However, other countries have laws that enable the government to seize property with unlawful origins. Mexico and Colombia both have specific laws that
define the participation in criminal organizations as a separate crime,[39] and separate laws that allow the seizure of goods related with these crimes.[40] This
latter provides a specific chapter titled "International Cooperation", which instructs Mexican authorities to cooperate with foreign authorities with respect to
organized crime assets within Mexico, and provides the framework by which Mexican authorities may politely request the cooperation of foreign authorities
with respect to assets located outside of Mexico, in terms of any international instruments they may be party to.
Arguably, this may be construed as allowing the application of the RICO Act in Mexico, provided the relevant international agreements exist among Mexico
and countries with RICO or RICO-equivalent provisions.

Thursday,

The above named defendants did engage in the following:


A. An Act of Malice and Reckless Disregard during the registration process of
Advanced Media Group's membership to the Lancaster Chamber of
Commerce on September 28th and 29th of 2015 by knowingly accepting the
membership application and 1st month fees (check no. 135 for $65.25)
with the intent to libel and slander by workplace mobbing Stan J.
Caterbone out of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
B. Conspiracy and Collusion to Obstruct Due Process in the Lisa Michelle
Lambert Case, No. 5:14-cv-02559 in the U.S. District Court for Eastern
Pennsylvania of which I am named MOVANT, and the APPEAL to the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals, which was recorded on Friday, October 2, 2015.
C. Fraud in the refusal to register Advanced Media Group and Stan J.
Caterbone to the Tech Talk seminar held Wednesday September 30 th at the
headquarters at Southern Market then calling and leaving a voice mail
message that he can no longer attend because he did not attend Part 1,
which was held previously. Kristy Aurand who met with Stan J. Caterbone
had used the Tech Talk Seminar of September 30 th, 2015 as a selling tool.
Stan J. Caterbone was told that first meeting that he would be registered
and Kristy Aurand would call a leave a message regarding the starting
time. Later that day of September 29th after meeting and completing the
application process, a Mathew .. called and left a message not to attend
because it would create a problem since Stan J. Caterbone did not attend
part 1 of the Seminar. Stan J. Caterbone sent an email to the Lancaster
Chamber of Commerce stating that he would be attending. On September
30th, the Seminar was CANCELED, according to the Lancaster Chamber
website.
D. At the early morning meeting at Southern Market on October 6, 2015
Arthur Mann did engage in street theater by placing his finger under his
left eye as Stan Caterbone first entered the room.

After the opening

remarks the MC requested that everyone stand and introduce themselves


to the group, which was about 40. Lancaster Mayor Rick Gray was to to
be the featured speaker with an update on the City of Lancaster. The first
person stood up at the front of the room and did the same as Arthur Mann
and put his finger under his eye while looking at Stan J. Caterbone. Stan
J. Caterbone immediately rose from his seat, grabbed his pink napsack

and left the room. After leaving the room, Lancaster Chamber President
Thomas Baldridge was walking fast toward the room and gave Stan J.
Caterbone a cocky hello, which Stan J. Caterbone ignored and walked past
him and left the building. Stan J. Caterbone and Thomas Baldridge have a
previous relationship from the days of the Conestoga Shark Swim Team.
Thomas Baldridge was President and Stan J. Caterbone produced a video
for the Swim Team with Pam Pflumm and Susan Baldridge, LNP Reporter
and wife of Thomas Baldridge. The year was 1998.

Document filed by Appellant titled "Addendum to Appeal, filed. (CLM)

07/03/2007

ORDER (McKee, Authoring Judge, Fuentes and Roth, Circuit Judges) The appeal is dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction. This Court has jurisdiction of appeals from final decisions of the district courts. 28 U.S.C. Section 1291.
A final decision is one that "ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the
judgment." Quackenbush v. Allstate Ins. Co., 517 U.S. 706, 712 (1996). The order Appellant seeks to appeal merely
established a deadline for the filing of Appellant's amended complaint and denied Appellant's request for an
unspecified deadline. The order does not decide any of the claims in the complaint nor does it determine the rights
and liabilities of any of the parties. Accordingly, the order does not constitute a "final" order for purposes of appeal
under Section 1291, filed. BLD-115 (LWC)

Obama Interrogation Official Linked to U.S. Mind Control Research

A new article at Truthout, by H.P. Albarelli and Jeffrey Kaye, describes how the CIAs Artichoke Project*
was the contemporaneous and operational side of the MK-ULTRA mind control research program. It was not
superceded by MK-ULTRA in the 1950s, as often supposed. Even more, Artichoke-derived methods of using
drugs, hypnosis, sensory deprivation and overload, behavioral modification techniques and other methods of
mind control have resurfaced as a primary component of U.S. interrogation practice.
The Truthout article includes some amazing revelations, including the largest description to date of the roles
of then-Ford administration officials Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld in working hand-in-glove with the
CIA to suppress information on Artichoke from surfacing.
The article also references the November 2006 release of an "Instruction" from the Secretary of the Navy
(3900.39D) regarding its "Human Research Protection Program." While this memo specifically prohibits the
use of research upon prisoners, including so-called "unlawful enemy combatants," waivers of informed
consent for research, or suspension of the protections enumerated in the memo can be made by the Secretary
of the Navy under conditions of "operational contingency or during times of national emergency." It is likely
the latter rests upon the legislative language within the September 18, 2001 Authorization to Use Military
Force, where terrorist acts are said to "continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national

security and foreign policy of the United States."


The waivers allowed for normal human research testing gains further piquancy when one considers the kinds
of research referenced in the Secretary of the Navys memo. Section 7(a)(2)(a) describes the Undersecretary
of the Navy as the "approval authority" for research done upon prisoners, as well as "Severe or unusual
intrusions, either physical or psychological, on human subjects (such as consciousness-altering drugs or
mind-control techniques)" [emphasis added].
This referencing of "mind-control techniques" in a document specifically discussing human subjects
protections by then Secretary of the Navy, Donald C. Winter, is not an anomaly, but a rare instance in which
the actual activities of the government in this area are openly revealed. Some of these activities can be
documented via publicly available materials. This article describes how some of the individuals involved in
U.S. government mind control and torture activities can be tracked and identified.
APA, CIA: "How might we overload the system or overwhelm the senses?"
Another instance in which the curtain was pulled back on mind control research by the U.S. government
involved the online description by the American Psychological Association (APA) of a CIA and Rand
Corporation workshop which it co-sponsored in July 2003 at Rands Arlington, Virginia headquarters. The
event was attended by approximately 40 research psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, as well as
"representatives from the CIA, FBI and Department of Defense with interests in intelligence operations."
One of these workshops, ostensibly on detection of deception, specifically described how participants should
consider "sensory overloads on the maintenance of deceptive behaviors," including the use of
"pharmacological agents. "How might we," the workshop asked, "overload the system or overwhelm the
senses and see how it affects deceptive behaviors?"
The man in charge of "recruiting the operational expertise" for the workshop was Kirk Hubbard, Chief of the
Research & Analysis Branch, Operational Assessment Division of the CIA. It appears likely that Hubbard
was responsible for the presence at the workshop of SERE psychologists James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen,
who were instrumental in the construction of the Bush administrations "enhanced interrogation" torture
program. Hubbard was also reported (by Scott Shane of the New York Times) to have brought James Mitchell
to an informal meeting "of professors and law enforcement and intelligence officers to brainstorm about
Muslim extremism" at the home of former APA president Martin Seligman in November 2001.
Sometime in the past six months, the APA eliminated all references to the webpage described above, even
going so far as to eliminate linked references to it on other webpages on its site. While the webpage that
described the workshops has been scrubbed, mirrored images of the site remain available at well-known web
archive sites, as I described in a recent article on this attempt to rewrite or hide APAs offensive history. In
one sense, this attempt to hide its history is not surprising, because the kind of activities discussed in these
workshops are exactly like those that involved CIA and military mind control torture programs going back
fifty years or more, and evidently still operational today.
The Role of Government Psychologist Susan Brandon
In a recent article, Scott Horton at Harpers picked up on the unique link between the APA/CIA workshop
and the recent revelations about torture at a hitherto unknown black site prison at Bagram Air Base in
Afghanistan. That link was an individual, Susan Brandon.
Referenced by Horton as working for the Defense Intelligence Agencys (DIA), Defense Counterintelligence
and Human Intelligence Center (DCHC), a recent publication identified Brandon more fully as Chief for
Research in the DCHCs Behavioral Science Program. As Horton notes, a recent column by Marc Ambinder

at The Atlantic described the DCHC as providing "intelligence operatives and interrogators.. [performing]
interrogations for a sub-unit of Task Force 714, an elite counter-terrorism brigade." Interrogations at the
Afghan black site reportedly have included use of sleep deprivation, sensory deprivation, brutality, isolation,
relying on the guidelines of the Army Field Manual, including its Appendix M. Many human rights groups
have criticized Appendix M as including techniques tantamount to torture and/or cruel, inhumane and
degrading and illegal by domestic and international law.
Back in 2003, according to an APA news article, Brandon "jointly conceived" the APA/CIA workshops with
Rand Associate Policy Analyst, Scott Gerwehr. (Mr. Gerwehr reportedly died a few years ago.) At the time,
psychologist Susan Brandon was the Program Officer for Affect and Biobehavioral Regulation at the National
Institute of Mental Health, and worked on the APA/CIA program while also serving as "Senior Scientist" at
the APA.
In the early 2000s, Dr. Brandon served as Behavioral and Social Science Principal at the Mitre Corporation, a
company highly linked to U.S. Air Defense. Subsequent to her stint as APAs Senior Scientist, she went on to
work in for the Bush administration as Assistant Director of Social, Behavioral, and Educational Sciences for
the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy. In addition, she became an instrumental member of
the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBES) Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology
Councils Committees on Science and Homeland and National Security.
Subsequently, as described in an important article by Stephen Soldz that extends many of the points in this
essay, Brandon joined the Defense Departments Counterintelligence Field Activity group (CIFA), which was
later disbanded and reformed as part of the DCHC. Soldz also reminds us that Brandon was "one of the silent
observers at the [APA] PENS [Psychological Ethics and National Security] taskforce described by dissident
taskforce member Jean Maria Arrigo as exerting pressure on members to adopt a likely pre-approved policy
in favor of participation in Guantnamo, CIA, and other interrogations. According to a 2005 article by Geoff
Mumford, APAs Director of Science Policy, Dr. Branford "helped steer much of the associations scientific
outreach relevant to counter-terrorism after 9/11."
One example of such outreach would include the June 11, 2002 meeting between Branford, and other top
APA officials with "two senior staff members in the National Security Councils (NSCs) Office of Combating
Terrorism" (OCT). Since Vice Admiral William McRaven was head of OCT at that time, perhaps Brandons
acquaintance with the world of Special Operations dates to that time, as McRaven was to become
Commander of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).
JSOC is the other Defense Department component, besides DIA, that has been linked currently with the
management of the black site prisons run by the Obama administration, subsequent to President Obamas
apparent closure of the CIA black sites. One reputable source has informed me that there are eight such black
site prisons in Afghanistan alone. A recent report by the BBC corroborated earlier reports by the New York
Times and the Washington Post. The article by Ambinder further elaborated upon this story.
Why is the Obama Administration Still Involved in Torture?
It is not known if Dr. Brandon has been involved in any of the reported abuses of prisoners coming out of
Bagrams Tor prison, or elsewhere. Yet one would think the Obama administration and the Pentagon has a lot
to explain in utilizing as their behavioral chief of research for an agency involved in intelligence operations,
including interrogation. But then, why is the Obama administration involved in torture or operating secret
prisons at all? President Obama has manifestly broken his promise to the American people to end torture and
close all secret prisons. Nor has Congress done their due diligence in investigating these matters. Only when
the American people fully understand the extent to which these activities have occupied the government and
their various collaborators, like the APA, will society be able to take the necessary steps to end these abuses,
and hold those accountable for what amount to crimes against humanity.

As for psychologists, Dr. Soldz rightly notes, "Psychology as a profession is at a crossroads." The same holds
true for other professions involved with this abusive and criminal history, including the activities of
anthropologists in the militarys Human Terrain System teams in Afghanistan, researchers in numerous
academic departments across the country, and the many reports of doctors and other medical personnel
involved in the monitoring of torture activities for the CIA and Defense Department. The use of torture has
suborned U.S. civil society as a whole in activities that are dark and evil, and the society as a whole must
make a tremendous effort if it is to extirpate such evil from its midst.
*For an early document referring to Artichokes history, see CIA, Memorandum for the Record, Subject:
Project ARTICHOKE, January 31, 1975. While this MOR downplays Artichokes history, it represents the
degree to which the CIA was willing to reveal such operations. The Truthout article discusses Operation
Dormouse, where then Ford administration officials Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld worked with the CIA
to limit revelations about Artichoke and other CIA torture and assassination operations.
