   Virginia and George High spent over 7 years in federal prison (94-2001), after being Framed, Wrongly Convicted, The victims of Prosecutorial misconduct and of a judicial lynching, because they would not "cut-a-deal". After which the U.S.A. stole 1.2 + million from the Highs, gave it to a white snitch (see below) and caused the High Family to lose 4 businesses and 4 + million in assets, ( in 1992 $$$ ) . George High is now 72 years old, nearly destitute and living in a Low-Income Senior Citizen Building, since 2005, and pay $198.00 monthly, including utilities, and his total monthly income is $615.00 Social Security, $79.00 SSI and  $34.00 in Food Stamps ...but, George High affirm that: He will continue this fight until Justice prevail, or hell freeze over...which ever comes first.....

 George and Virginia High are husband and wife, having been married since 1968. When this racist investigation began in 1990, the Highs had assets in excess of 4 million dollars, and had an ownership interest in Georgia Home Improvement Company Inc., High-Five Ltd., Shareholders in Bal, Inc. and owner/operators of Highs Realty Inc. in which George Sr. was Broker and Virginia, Eric and George W. High, Jr. along with 30+ other people were all licensed real estate agents.

See page titled Disfranchised   - - -  Kyle Henry, white boy, snitch, now millionair extraordinaire.  The government agreed not to prosecute him on money laundering (count 13) or drug conspiracy (count 1). On June 8,1992 Kyle Henry and his lawyer made a contract with the IRS (William Salanski & Shelia Whipple), to receive 25 % of the first million collected by them and 10% of the remainder up to one million Dollars. Kyle Henry had already received $50,000 plus $18,000 reimbursement for expenses. Now Kyle Henry also had a second deal with the U.S. Attorneys office (Joe D. Whitley), that says that he gets, 25% of everything that the government gets, not just cars. He gets 25% of Sims Jinks house, 25% of David Wallace's house, 25% of the million + "stole" from the Highs, 25% of all the so called drug money seized and there was no cap on the amount that white boy could get, and he also went in the witness protection program after testi-lying...

Speaking truth to power is perhaps the oldest and, certainly, one of the most difficult of ethical challenges because to do so entails personal danger. From the day humans descended from our ape-like ancestors until only very recently, tribal leaders, clan elders, kings, and just plain bosses were men who ruled by force. To question their decisions was to risk death. The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear. --Herbert Agar, A Time for Greatness (1942) http://www.scu.edu/ethics/practicing/focusareas/business/truth-to-power.html

"Speaking Truth to Power" and what if they had Back Down?

George W. Bush (KKK),  during his six years as governor of Texas presided over 152 executions, more than any other governor in the recent history of the United States. According to statistics, George Bush has executed 9 INNOCENT PEOPLE..! http://www.texecutions.com/.

Albert Pike (December 29, 1809–April 2, 1891) The Ku Klux Klan, the Southern Confederacy, and the pre-Civil War secession movement were a single, continuous project, with Pike’s "Scottish Rite" at its center. Though the Confederacy was defeated, this project lives on today, and now dominates U.S. political life. Look at Baker & Botts, the Houston family firm and power base of Secretary of State James A. Baker III. This law firm was formed after the Civil War by die-hard Confederate and Masonic officials in Albert Pike’s Scottish Rite and military clique. With their British imperial racial notions, Baker & Botts and Scottish Rite freemasonry have dominated the Texas power structure ever since. Secretary Baker’s grandfather, Captain James A. Baker, brought English race scientist Julian Huxley in to supervise the "race purification" study program for Texas, at Rice University. Secretary Baker’s family wealth and power came from their representing Harriman, the international oil companies and George Bush’s Zapata Petroleum, all sponsors of the population control, or ban-dark-babies movement. This movement is synonymous with the Scottish Rite.   http://itwasjohnson.impiousdigest.com/kkkmas.htm

Did Texas execute an innocent man?  FRONTLINE asked the question a year ago when we first aired Death by Fire, which rebroadcasts tonight (check local listings). The film examines whether Cameron Todd Willingham deliberately set a 1991 house fire that killed his three daughters. Willingham was executed for the crime in 2004.

But the question has reverberated over the past year, as Texas Gov. Rick Perry seeks the GOP nomination for president. Perry has defended the execution, describing Willingham as a “monster,” and saying in a GOP debate that he’s never struggled with the thought that an innocent person has been executed during his time in office.

At the heart of the debate over Willingham’s guilt is fire science: “A fire does not lie,” wrote the Texas investigators who originally determined the blaze was a classic case of arson. But more than a decade later, fire scientist Gerald Hurst reviewed the evidence and found that the fire could not have been purposefully set. “One might well wonder how anyone could make so many critical errors in interpreting the evidence,” he wrote questioning the original investigation.   http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/criminal-justice/death-by-fire/did-texas-execute-an-innocent-man-answers-remain-elusive/

  9/7/11   — Texas Gov. Rick Perry is defending the death penalty in Texas and says he's never struggled with whether any of the inmates executed during his time as governor might have been innocent.

When Perry defended capital punishment, he drew strong applause from the scores of people in the audience at the Republican debate Wednesday night at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

As of today, 234 people have been executed in the 10-plus years that Perry has served as governor of Texas. That's the highest number of any American governor.

The audience first applauded when NBC News anchor Brian Williams cited the number of executions in Texas. Perry says he believes that such a response reflects how much Americans support capital punishment for particularly heinous crimes.  http://news.yahoo.com/applause-perry-defends-texas-death-penalty-020621677.html 

Texas prisons end special last meals in executions  Sep 23, 2011 HOUSTON (AP) — It's a tradition with roots that can be traced far back in history: Before being put to death, a condemned prisoner can choose his last meal.   Not so anymore in Texas.  Officials who oversee the country's busiest death chamber stopped the practice on Thursday after a prominent state senator complained about a hefty request from a man executed for his role in a notorious dragging death. Now, inmates get to eat only what the kitchen serves.  http://www.taiwannews.com.tw/etn/news_content.php?id=1716683

  In 1935 attempts were made to persuade Franklin D. Roosevelt to support a Anti-Lynching bill that had been introduced into Congress. However, Roosevelt refused to speak out in favour of the bill that would punish sheriffs who failed to protect their prisoners from lynch mobs. He argued that the white voters in the South would never forgive him if he supported the bill and he would therefore lose the next election...

...Even the appearance in the newspapers of the lynching of Rubin Stacy failed to change Roosevelt's mind on the subject. Six deputies were escorting Stacy to Dade County jail in Miami on 19th July, 1935, when he was taken by a white mob and hanged by the side of the home of Marion Jones, the woman who had made the original complaint against him. The New York Times later revealed that "subsequent investigation revealed that Stacy, a homeless tenant farmer, had gone to the house to ask for food; the woman became frightened and screamed when she saw Stacy's face." http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USACstacy.htm

On June 13, 2005, the United States Senate formally apologized for its refusal to approve any of the 200 anti-lynching legislation bills introduced during the first half of the 20th century, a failure that led to the deaths of at least several thousand African-Americans. http://www.blackpressusa.com/News/Article.asp?SID=3&Title=National+News&newsID=4316

text of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill as it appeared in 1922. ANTILYNCHING BILL. APRIL 20 (calendar day, JULY 28), 1922.--Ordered to be printed.   AN ACT To assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every State the equal protection of the laws, and to punish the crime of lynching.  EC. 3.

Here are the 20 Senators who: 1) refused to co-sponsor the anti-lynching resolution passed and 2) refused a roll-call vote so they would not have to put their names on the resolution as having voted against it. 19 Republicans and 1 Democrat, a real wall of shame for progress in America.

These Senators represent a hate in America and some are still "Proudly" representing their states that (no-doubt) condoned, supported and participated in Slavery & Lynching and  says:  "Keep Lynching dem niggers". If your Senator’s name is on the above list  and you are not a kkk,  then  kindly contact them and let them know you will not tolerate their support of hate in America (Edited)   http://www.nathanielturner.com/lynchingresolution.htm

Dragging Death in Jasper Texas: On June 7, 1998, Byrd, 49, accepted a ride from three men named Shawn Allen Berry, Lawrence Russell Brewer, and John William King . He had already known one of them. Instead of taking him home, the three men beat Byrd behind a convenience store, chained him by the ankles to their pickup truck, stripped the man naked, and dragged him for three miles. Although Lawrence Russell Brewer said that Byrd's throat had been slashed before he was dragged, forensic evidence suggests that Byrd had been attempting to keep his head up, and an autopsy suggested that Byrd was alive for much of the dragging and died after his right arm and head were severed when his body hit a culvert. His body had caught a sewage drain on the side of the road resulting in Byrd's decapitation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Byrd_Jr.

Forty men were executed in the Great Gainesville Hanging in Texas, 1862. As rumors continued of a slave insurrection, it led to the lynching of an estimated thirty to fifty slaves. The entire affair culminated in the greatest mass lynching in the history of the state, in at what is now called "The Great Hanging at Gainesville." http://www.legendsofamerica.com/ah-lynching2.html

A century later, Texas race massacre forgotten by all but a few Feb. 26, 2011 SLOCUM -- In the waning days of July 1910, racial hatred ignited around this East Texas village. Bands of white residents took up rifles and shotguns and hunted down and slaughtered African-Americans. When it was over, estimates of the black dead ranged from eight to 20 or more. All of the known victims were unarmed and most were shot in the back, authorities said at the time.

For 100 years, Bud Porter's kickoff return has stood as a record in this Kansas town. What has not been recognized is that he was also a participant in one of U.S. military history's most violent and disturbing incidents. Bud graduated in 1912 and entered the U.S. Army in the years that followed. In 1917, he was a soldier in the 24th Infantry during WWI stationed at Camp Logan in Houston, Texas.

The 24th Infantry Regiment was one of the Buffalo Soldier regiments. It was organized on November 1, 1869 from the 38th and 41st Infantry Regiments. All the enlisted soldiers were black. From 1898, the 24th Infantry served throughout the Western United States. The 24th was deployed to Cuba as part of the U.S. Expeditionary Force in the Spanish-American War. At the climactic battle of San Juan Hill, the 24th Infantry assaulted and seized the Spanish-held blockhouse and trench system on the hill. In 1899, 1905 and 1911, the regiment was deployed to the Philippine Islands during the Philippine-American War. In 1916, the 24th joined the "Punitive Expedition" under General Pershing to ensure that the Mexican Civil War would not spill over onto U.S. soil. The 24th entered Mexico to fight Pancho Villa's forces.

Just months after America’s entry into World War I, the War Department, taking advantage of the temperate climate and newly opened Houston Ship Channel, ordered two military installations built in Harris County- Camp Logan and Ellington Field. The Illinois National Guard was to train at Camp Logan, located on the northwest outskirts of the city. To guard the construction site, on July 27, 1917, the army ordered the Third Battalion of the 24th Infantry to travel by train from the regimental encampment at Columbus, New Mexico, where they met animosity from whites beyond the everyday insults of Jim Crow law.

The Houston Chronicle reflected the racial tensions of the moment: "Their lenient treatment has led negro soldiers to believe that the government is in sympathy with their arrogance and impudence toward white people … A court marshall, a hollow square and a firing squad will settle the matter once and for all."

Between November 1, 1917, and March 26, 1918, the army held three separate courts-martial in the chapel at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. The military tribunals indicted 118 enlisted men of I Company for participating in the mutiny and riot, and found 110 guilty. It was wartime, and the sentences were harsh. Nineteen mutinous soldiers were hanged and sixty-three received life sentences in federal prison. One was judged incompetent to stand trial. Two white officers faced courts-martial, but they were released. No white civilians were brought to trial.

On November 1, 1917, the first of three courts-martial was convened at Gift Memorial Chapel at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. The trials were held before the only all black general court martial board in U.S. military history. The 63 defendants, all of whom entered pleas of "not guilty" to all charges, were represented by a single defense counsel. In 22 days, 196 witnesses were called and on November 29 the panel of officers condemned 13 men to death, 41 to life at hard labor, four received lighter prison sentences, and five were acquitted. No white Houstonian was ever prosecuted for the day’s events It was the largest court-martial in U.S. military history. Those condemned to die:

Two more mass courts-martial would follow, resulting in six more hangings the following year.

Robinson, Texas May 8, 1916 ...Jesse Washington, seventeen years old, was the chief suspect in the May 8, 1916, murder of Lucy Fryer of Robinson, Texas, on whose farm he worked as a laborer. After the lynching, Washington's corpse was placed in a burlap bag and dragged around City Hall Plaza, through the main streets of Waco, and seven miles to Robinson, where a large black population resided.

Ruby Ridge and the killing of Randy Weaver's dog, then his son, then his wife.

 

Government Gone Wrong In August of 1992 Americans tensely watched as events began to unfold on a remote ridge in Northern Idaho, involving a white separatist family and the FBI. Eleven days after it had begun, a 14-year-old boy, a 42-year-old mother, a federal marshal, and one yellow Labrador retriever had all been shot dead. The incident ultimately led to one of the most intensive and controversial investigations in recent history. The FBI faced widespread resentment and Attorney General Janet Reno established a Justice Department task force to investigate what had happened. National debates on the case were said to have fueled anti-government sentiments, which eventually played a role in the Waco, Oklahoma City, and the Freemen conflict. Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the government building in Oklahoma City is said to be at least partially motivated by revenge for what happened at Ruby Ridge. http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/gangsters_outlaws/cops_others/randy_weaver/1.html

The Justice Department's Other Criminal Cover-Up - by James Bovard, January 1998 Michael Kahoe was sentenced last fall for felony charges of obstruction of justice. He will serve 18 months in prison and pay a $4,000 fine. Kahoe could have received up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. But the real lesson of the Kahoe sentence is this: Cover up a killing, get a pension. Kahoe was permitted to stay on the FBI payroll (at $112,000 a year) for several months after he pled guilty so that he could qualify for a pension of $67,000 per year. If he had been fired at the time that he pled guilty to obstruction of justice, his pension would have been much less. What sort of Justice Department keeps people on its payroll after they plead guilty to obstruction of justice? http://www.fff.org/freedom/0198d.asp

 Federal Bureau of Investigation -  The FBI was established in 1908 as the Bureau of Investigation (BOI). Its name was changed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1935.

Immediately after the FBI began its investigation into the Moore's Ford lynching, these reward posters were posted in and around Walton and Oconee counties. As the weeks passed, the reward for information ballooned to $64,000, thanks to donations from the NAACP, the Chicago Defender, as well as various labor unions and civic and religious organizations.

George Dorsey, 28, and Dorothy Dorsey Malcom, 20, brother and sister, were the first victims of the Moore's Ford lynching to be buried. Many friends and relatives stayed away from the funeral out of fear. George and Dorothy's own mother missed the funeral because she had trouble finding someone willing to drive her there.   At her funeral, the relatives of Mae Murray Dorsey, 23, intimated that she was the "most innocent" of the four lynching victims--that she'd been lynched by association. Many of those who viewed the bodies of the lynching victims in Young Funeral Home agreed; Mae Murray Dorsey's face, unlike the faces of the three other victims, was not destroyed by gunshots.   The funeral of Roger Malcom, 24, drew the smallest crowd--only roughly ten people attended. After the funeral, his grandmother, who had raised him, fled to Chicago. "I can't explain the way I felt when I was notified of his death," she told a reporter there. "But something in me died too. They took my boy away from me like a dog."   George Dorsey was one of a half-million black men from the South to serve in the U.S. Army in World War II. At his death in 1946, he was entitled to burial with full military honors. In 1999, he received those honors in a military memorial service organized by the Moore's Ford Memorial Committee.

9/12/2008 Evidence of false testimony in released Rosenberg transcripts: WASHINGTON (AP) - Newly released grand jury transcripts add strong evidence to the argument that the conviction and execution of Ethel Rosenberg in the Cold War's biggest espionage case (1951) were based on perjured testimony. In recent years, one of the two key witnesses against Rosenberg recanted his testimony. It now appears that the other witness made up her testimony too. The witnesses were Ethel's brother and sister-in-law, David and Ruth Greenglass. Thanks to the work of a team of lawyers and historians, the government released the grand jury testimony that formed the basis for the charges against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-09-12-rosenbergs-perjury_N.htm?csp=34

1976.  Sonia Jacobs & Jessee Tafero - Sonia Jacobs, Florida Convicted 1976; Released 1992 Ms. Jacobs and her companion, Jesse Tafero, were sentenced to death for the murder of 2 policemen at a highway rest stop in 1976. A third co-defendant received a life sentence after pleading guilty and testifying against Jacobs and Tafero. In addition to his testimony, the prosecution also presented the testimony of a jailhouse informant who claimed that Ms. Jacobs had confessed to her. The jury recommended a life sentence for Ms. Jacobs, but the judge overruled the jury and imposed death. A childhood friend and film maker, Micki Dickoff, later became interested in Ms. Jacobs' case and, together with Ms. Jacobs' lawyers, helped uncover the evidence that exposed both of these prosecution's witness as liars. A federal court overturned Ms. Jacobs's conviction on a writ of habeas corpus in 1992. Following the discovery that the chief prosecution witness had failed a lie-detector test, the prosecutor accepted a plea in which Ms. Jacobs did not admit guilt, and was immediately released.

"Up on Ruby Ridge" ... On August 21, 1992, three U.S. marshals ambushed Weaver's 14-year old son, Sammy, and family friend Kevin Harris. Marshal Arthur Roderick shot the boy's dog, and when the boy fired back, a firefight ensued in which Marshal William Degan was killed. As Sammy Weaver was leaving the scene and running back towards the family's shack, Marshal Larry Cooper shot him in the back and killed him.

The next day, FBI snipers arrived on the scene and received official rules of engagement that declared that "any armed male adult observed in the vicinity of the Weaver cabin could and should be killed." Within an hour of the snipers' taking position, every adult in the cabin was either dead or severely wounded, though they had offered no resistance. FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi shot Randy Weaver in the back as he stood outside his shack and then fired a shot that killed Vicki Weaver as she stood in the cabin doorway holding their 10-month old baby.

Michael Kahoe was sentenced last fall for felony charges of obstruction of justice. He will serve 18 months in prison and pay a $4,000 fine. Kahoe could have received up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. But the real lesson of the Kahoe sentence is this: Cover up a killing, get a pension. Kahoe was permitted to stay on the FBI payroll (at $112,000 a year) for several months after he pled guilty so that he could qualify for a pension of $67,000 per year. If he had been fired at the time that he pled guilty to obstruction of justice, his pension would have been much less. What sort of Justice Department keeps people on its payroll after they plead guilty to obstruction of justice?   http://www.fff.org/freedom/0198d.asp

10/19/11 - An Atlanta woman spent 53 days behind bars because she has the same first name as a woman wanted by police for aggravated assault.

Teresa Culpepper says she was wrongly detained in Fulton County Jail because she shares the name Teresa with an assault suspect, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

“Her birth date didn't match. Her address didn't match. Her description didn't match. Other than the name Teresa, nothing matched,” said Ashleigh Merchant, Culpepper’s attorney.

The case of mistaken identity began when Culpepper called police after her truck had been stolen on Aug. 21, according to WSB-TV. When officers arrived, she was taken into custody on an aggravated assault charge.   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/19/teresa-culpepper-jailed-53-days-because-first-name_n_1019730.html

 

 

 

Woman freed after years on death row    NASHVILLE, Tenn. —   10/7/11 - A Memphis woman who spent a quarter century on death row and came within two months of being executed for hiring a stranger to kill her husband in 1985 was freed Friday from a Tennessee prison.  Gaile Owens, 58, was greeted by a small group of supporters outside the Tennessee Prison for Women. She was all smiles as she pushed a yellow laundry cart containing her belongings past the prison's razor-wire fence to freedom.

Owens was sentenced to die in 1986, but her death sentence was commuted to life in prison last year and she won parole last week.  .  http://www.pjstar.com/free/x1038181617/Woman-freed-after-years-on-death-row

Hope & Redemption: The Lena Baker Story A chronicle of the life, trial, and execution of Lena Baker, the first woman to be sent to the electric chair in Georgia for the murder of her employer, who forced her into sexual slavery. Sixty years after her death, Baker was pardoned posthumously by the state Board of Pardons and Paroles. http://www.lenabakerthemovie.com/ Official Site

   HAMPTON -- 1912 was the last time a female was executed in Virginia -- when 17-year-old Virginia Christian died in the electric chair.

Christian, an African-American, got into an argument with her white boss, Ida Virginia Belote, in Hampton.

"Blacks knew if they stepped beyond their expected place in southern society, they could be punished and punished very quickly," said Michael Cobb, historian at the Hampton Museum, as he related the times under Jim Crow laws.

An account of the killing in the New York Times stated "the girl became enraged and felled Mrs. Belote with a poker. Then she pounded her head with a cuspidor and forced a towel down her throat."

Christian was arrested, put on trial and sentenced to death. Then Governor William Hodges Mann was inundated with requests to change the penalty; even Christian's mother appealed to the governor but to no avail.  Christian was executed on August 16, 1912.  http://www.wvec.com/news/local/Virginias-Last-Female-Execution-103560539.html
