This writer finally released a couple of videos, in hopes that she can again feel comfortable moving around in her neighborhood again.  Read USDC Court Docket item # 22

Hear this NPR Radio interview by a former Cochran Firm attorney.

IT IS FRIGHTENING to have news so censored that it is hard to DIGG!  Mainstream media will not carry it, and now this writer is being chased by folks in several cars at a time.

Is The Cochran Firm a Covert Government Agency?

I have come to believe that The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm may be a pseudo governmental agency now.  The Cochran Firm being a government agency is the only way I can explain the forces that came to save it from our fraud suit, i.e., the Court which allowed the firm to represent itself under an alias name in court, the State Bars that are charged with keeping lawyers honest, mainstream media's refusing to cover these events, the FTC and FCC refusing to force the law firm to identify itself plainly in advertising - allowing the Atlanta law office to be presented to the public under a given identity, while denying that same identity when caught doing lawyer fraud.  The Better Business Bureau (BBB) even refused to take a complaint against The Cochran Firm.  Traditionally, all consumer reports are recorded by the BBB, although they may later be held to be unfounded.  Why was no consumer report even allowed against The Cochran Firm? 

I know of no other entity that has the protection of the Court, the State Bars, the FTC, FCC, BBB, the USDOJ.  I have lived as an African American for 53 years, and it is highly unlikely that any firm of and for black people would enjoy this type of protection and support from these sources.

See FBI Deputizes Businesses - http://www.progressive.org/mag_rothschild0308.

America suffered its last major civil unrest (riots) after Los Angeles police beat Rodney King in 1992, and it was caught on tape.  The injustice Mr. King suffered was followed by widespread looting, assault, and arson, and murder.  A total of 53 people died during the riots that errupted in LA following the police brutality against Mr. King.  From 1992 until today, there have been no other such disturbances. 

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_King

What has happened to change this?  Have the police stopped beating and killing African Americans?  No.  The only change that I can see has been the advent of The Johnnie Cochran Firm as African American's legal saviors.  It is of course preferable for citizens to use the courts to address grievances, but if any law firm is being used to redirect the anger of the masses, it should treat its clients fairly.  The Neal family and some other families that I have come to know about since beginning our justice quest were not treated fairly behind the wrongful death and abuses of our loved ones when represented by this law firm.

On November 21, 2006, just six months after Georgia State Superior Court Judge Wendy Shoob dismissed our lawsuit against The Cochran Firm, saying that such a firm did not exist in Georgia, Atlanta Police gunned down 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston in her home.  Crowds of people converged outside her home following her murder.  Ironically, Ms. Johnston lived on Neal Street.  The people were angry.  Neighbors, relatives, and people from nearby towns and cities gathered.  The next day, the crowd and anger were growing. 

On November 22, one day after Ms. Johnston's murder and six months after the law firm was declared not to exist in Georgia, it was announced that The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm was undertaking the representation of Ms. Johnston's family in a civil action against Atlanta police.  The news immediately calmed the crowd.  African Americans came to trust Johnnie Cochran over the years when he was the attorney for numerous victims of police abuse and wrongful death, and this trust was transferred to the firm that still bears his name.

See:   http://rwor.org/a/072/altanta-en.html 

I watched on TV how this law firm, which had defrauded our family by actually working to protect the police and Shelby County Jail behind Larry Neal's secret arrest and wrongful death, undertake the representation of another African American family.  I imagined that this was done to calm the crowd of angry African Americans and to perhaps to keep their settlement low and minimize damages to the City of Atlanta -- all under the same identity that Georgia State Court had six months earlier declared nonexistent.

I called all the major television networks and told them of my concern for that family, which appeared to be falling into the same position as mine -- about to become clients/victims of The Cochran Firm Fraud.  I demanded that the television stations and Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transportation Association (MARTA) immediately desist from carrying ads for the Atlanta office of The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm, which ads were serving to mislead consumers, or else, the firm had been allowed to commit perjury in Georgia State Court.  To my knowledge, advertising for the Atlanta office of The Cochran Firm is no longer aired on Georgia television and MARTA trains.

This writer's belief that The Cochran Firm is a covert government agency is based solely on the lack of media exposure, lack of discipline from the State Bars, denial of justice in court, refusal by the FCC and FTC and BBB to censure the firm for false advertising, and information by certain agencies and individuals that the Neals are not the first victims of fraud by The Cochran Firm in cases such as ours.  However, if the government is using The Cochran Firm to keep African Americans calm after incidents of police violence against its members, it should also ensure that the law firm deals with its clients fairly.

Some may choose to keep a misguided loyalty to the memory of a man who would probably be repulsed by the way we were treated by a law firm that operates in his name.  However, this writer has done her duty to warn blacks and to let Americans of all races know that what if one "private company" can be turned into a covert government agency, then so can others.

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.  Matthew 11:15

This writer believes it is to protect the "cover" of this law firm that her family has been denied justice against The Cochran Firm and the wrongful death of Larry Neal is denied coverage in mainstream media.

At least our ordeal may help to raise awareness on behalf of other acute mental patients, such as are addressed in most of these articles:

http://my.nowpublic.com/search?fulltext=1&type=story&keys=mary+neal

It is unlikely that I would have told the public about concerns for saftey had it not been true that guards have witnessed people hiding in vehicles parked next to mine late nights when I left work.  Knowing how easily people ignore such accounts, I would likely bear it in silence, were it not also for the Docket entry at 22 on our present federal lawsuit against The Cochran Firm.  The security log at my place of business and the slip on the court docket entry gave me freedom to publish these truths, knowing they are proven.

THE DOG IN THE PHOTOGRAPH HAS A MESSAGE FOR AMERICA, but when she tries to deliver it online, it often gets erased.  She believes there is safety in disclosure.  That is the only reason for the videos being released.

I was able to digg it  via this page (link), though it showed some strange potential duplicates (Wolfman posters?!) at the last step.


Also the source video (the first one). Digg autofilled it as Education, which seemed to choke it. I switched it to "political opinion" and it worked OK.

Thank you, Jordan.  Tomorrow or next week, if you are like me, you might check back and see it has only one (1) DIGG.  I'll send you a printout of my attempts to DIGG some day.  They all -- even exciting stories -- have only my one note.  I do not believe that articles that get from 300 to 2,500 hits on Now Public would realistically raise no interest on DIGG.  Therefore, I take it that the powers that be are setting them aside somewhere in the filing system.  I don't know how they do it, but  DIGG does not have to know anything about it.  Just like NowPublic does not know about a lot of things that happen to me here, or Care2, where my articles are sometimes not allowed to accept "notes" which elevates articles to the cover page.  

Most irritating is the fact that the microphone stays on on my computer, and I never use the microphone.  The "administrators" of my computer will not allow me to turn the microphone off, either, or even to change the language to something obscure.  I suppose that may be how folks know when I plan to leave home and send the followers.  When I try to clean off spyware, Microsoft sends me a message that I cannot - I am not the administrator.

Tag lines sometimes are changed on my submitted articles, deleting references to The Cochran Firm, Shelby County Jail, etc., and sometimes typing disappears on articles I write when I hit "Submit."  Even a minister with whom I correspond stopped receiving emails that I wrote.  I found them months later in my Outlook folder on the computer, and I don't use Outlook. 

Of course some of this is normal technical trouble, but not all of it, I believe.

Thank you, CJaye.  It is quite amazing.  I fear that folks still want to keep this quiet in hopes of catching me at the grocery store one day and hopefully silencing me permanently.  That is ridiculous, because over 2,000 people each month visit our website, many thousands of people read my articles, my entire family of 130 adults have a copy of the court files  regarding http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com, and I make sure that all the readers at NowPublic.com, Care2, and YahooGroups know facts as I learn them. 

This determination to quiet our justice quest is why we will start streaming live on the Internet, likely using BinkoTV.  We will break this shroud of secrecy surrounding Larry's death and expose how 1.25 million other mental patients in America are treated  - incarcerated rather than given adequate health care - via that webcast.  So keep your eyes on my family and me for the next couple or few days. 

Tell me your thoughts - Can law firms be federal agencies?

Mental patients often suffer from a condition I wrote about in another article that keeps them from recognizing their own illness and agreeing to treatment.  How silly is it to wait until a patient is shot or Tasered to death or until 32 bodies are strewn about as happened at Virginia Tech before we recognize that a patient required help?  Withholding treatment until some tragedy occurs is how prisons stay full and prison profiteers make money.  Did you read the article about the Oregon man who murdered his sister?  He has a condition that is very common among psychiatric patients called "anosognosia," and that is why Theresa died.  http://my.nowpublic.com/health/oregon-man-murders-his-sister

CJaye, thank you for posting my comment to LA Times.  As you know, I was not allowed to register for that news service.  Most mainstream news sites on the Internet prevent my registration.  The owners of the media may want to either protect The Cochran Firm or they may be prison profiteers.  Neither is pleased with my message.
