12-05-05 The Israeli "Constitutional Revolution", Presiding Justices Aharon Barak and Dorit Beinisch, and corruption of the Supreme Court of the State of Israel

The time has come to reassess to impact of former Presiding Justices Aharon Barak and Dorit Beinisch on Human Rights, the justice system, and the rule of law in the State of Israel.
[]  [] []
Supreme Court of the State of Israel, Presiding Justices Aharon Barak  (1995-2006) and  Dorit Beinisch (2006-2012)
Jerusalem, May 5 - the State of Israel has not established a constitution to this date.  In the early 1990s, two “Basic Laws” were enacted by the Knesset, [1] in effort to establish fundamental Human Rights by law. Moreover, under the tenure of Presiding Justice Aharon Barak  (1995-2006), and to a lesser degree under the tenure of Presiding Justice Dorit Beinisch (2006-2012) the Supreme Court purportedly led a “Constitutional Revolution” in the State of Israel. [2]
Various additional "Constitutional Rights" were purportedly construed by the Supreme Court. (See for example – Israeli Civil Rights Association v Minister of Justice [3])
On the other hand, the 2012 Human Rights Alert (NGO)  submission for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Human Rights in Israel by the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations documents precipitous corruption of the courts of the State of Israel.  The report specifically documents corruption of the Supreme Court, during the very same years that the Supreme Court’s rhetoric regarding “Constitutional Revolution” and "Constitutional Rights" reached its zenith. [4]

[]
The decision, in Judith Franco Sidi et al v Authority pursuant to the Persons Disabled by Nazi Persecutions Act (1582/02) in the Supreme Court says:
Issued this date, February 14, 2007
Boaz Okon
Registrar
_________
This version is subject to editing and phrasing changes.
Shmaryahu Cohen – Chief Clerk
In the Supreme Court an information center is operated, Tel: 02-6750444
The Court is open to comments and suggestions: pniot@supreme.court.gov.il
The courts’ web site: www.court.gov.il
By February 2007, Boaz Okon was no longer Registrar of the Supreme Court, and Shmaryahu Cohen was dead for about five years. Numerous other records of the same nature were discovered.

[]
 
Excerpt from one of the three records, provided by Chief Clerk SARAH LIFSCHITZ, Supreme Court of the State of Israel.  The excerpt says: "Issued today, September 21, 2011", then shows spaces for the signatures of three justices.  The footnote says, "copy subject to editing and phrasing changes", then shows the Seal of the Court, and the invalid, false certification stamp, "Copying Corresponds to the Original," with the hand signature of the Chief Clerk and the date of March 29, 2012.  Both the Administration of Courts and Sarah Lifschitz refuse to produce the appointment record of Sarah Lifschitz as Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court, and the Administration of Courts refuses to disclose, who holds the ultimate administrative authority over the electronic records of the Supreme Court. No visible electronic signatures, pursuant to the Electronic Signature Act (2001) were implemented in the electronic records of the Supreme Court. Criminal fraud complaint was filed with the Israel Police relative to her conduct in issuing the false and deliberately misleading certifications, such as the one above.

Critical events, relative to corruption of the electronic records of the Supreme Court took place under the tenure of Barak and continued under the tenure of Beinisch.

The Human Rights Alert submission is narrowly focused on Integrity, or lack thereof, of the electronic record systems of the Supreme Court, District Courts, and Detainees’ Courts of the State of Israel. 

The submission alleges that conditions, now prevailing in the electronic record systems of the national courts of the State of Israel, are in violations of any article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, where integrity of the courts and the justice system is a prerequisite, as is the rule of law.  Conditions, which have been established over the past decade, should be deemed a simulated justice system, reflecting corruption of the courts, the Ministry of Justice, and the legal profession.

The underlying research was inspired by data mining and zero knowledge proofs. Serious deficiencies were identified in all systems, which were inspected. Three senior Israeli computing/cryptology experts expressed their concern and alarm.  In the Supreme Court, on or about March 7, 2002, with the untimely death of Supreme Court Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen, integrity of the electronic records was seriously compromised. IBM and EDS, two large, US-based corporations were involved.  Around that date, increased irregularity is seen in certification authorities and numerous falsified decision records were discovered.  Today, all electronic records are published with no certification at all, “subject to editing and phrasing changes”. 

As part of the preparation of instant report, current Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court Sarah Lifschitz provided false and deliberately misleading certifications of decisions of the Supreme Court. 

At the time of signing the submission, a crisis is ongoing, resulting from refusal of the government to obey a purportedly “final” decision of the Supreme Court, pertaining to demolition of a settlement, unlawfully constructed on Palestinian land.

The findings of the submission hold serious implications relative to socioeconomic trends, banking regulation, and the Israel-Palestinian conflict:
1.       The validity of any legal public records, originating in the State of Israel, and employed in the UPR process, should be re-assessed;
2.       Nations, including but not limited to those, who are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention (1961), should re-assess any faith and credit, given to legal public records originating in the courts of the State of Israel;
3.       Attempts to address the crisis would likely be compounded by conflicts of rivaling security, legal, and financial groups.

The Human Rights Alert submission recommends that major efforts be made to address what amounts to a constitutional crisis in a nation with no constitution.
1.       Examination and repair of the electronic records systems by Israeli computing/legal experts, under accountability to the legislature.
2.       Establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission relative to events surrounding the 2002 death of Supreme Court Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen and implementation of the current electronic record systems in the courts; 
3.       No court of any nation should be permitted to develop and implement its own electronic record systems.

"The time has come to reassess to impact of former Presiding Justices Aharon Barak and Dorit Beinisch on Human Rights, the justice system and the rule of law in the State of Israel," concludes Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert.

The 2010 submission of Human Rights Alert for the UPR of the United States focused on conditions in Los Angeles County, California.  The submission provided documentation of large-scale false imprisonment and real estate and financial institution fraud by California state judges, and refusal of the US federal government to initiate corrective actions. The submission was incorporated by reference into the official HRC Professional Staff Report with a note referring to “corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California.” [5]

Joseph Zernik, PhD, the primary author of both submissions, has specialized over the past decade in analyzing the electronic record systems of courts, prisons, and banks.  His reports on these subjects were peer-reviewed, published and presented in international computer science and criminology conferences. [6]

Students pepper-sprayed at Santa Monica College protest [Updated]

About 100 students protesting a plan to offer high-priced courses at Santa Monica College this summer tried to storm into a meeting of the college's Board of Trustees on Tuesday evening.

A handful of protesters suffered minor injuries as campus police tried to prevent dozens of students chanting, "Let us in, let us in" and "No cuts, no fees, education should be free," from disrupting the meeting during a public comment period.

[Updated, 10:06 p.m.: Campus police confirmed late Tuesday that two people suffering the effects of pepper spray were taken to a hospital. It was unclear if they were students.]

Several were also overcome when pepper spray was released just outside the meeting room as officers tried to break up the crowd. Police are investigating the circumstances of when the pepper spray was used and by whom.

Cameron Espinoza was outside the board meeting in the back of the crowd when she heard screams. "I saw all these students rushing and they were crying," said Espinoza, 19, who is director of outreach for the student government. "I couldn't stop coughing."

No arrests were made.

The meeting room was cleared and trustees adjourned to another room. Santa Monica police were called in to secure the perimeter of the building.

President Chui Tsang said the small boardroom wasn't able to accommodate all of the students who wanted to speak and that an adjacent room had been provided for the overflow.

"We expected some students, but we didn't expect that big of a crowd with such enthusiasm," Tsang said.

[Updated, 10:06 p.m.: When the meeting resumed, most of the students were allowed to address trustees from an adjoining room. Many urged the board to find other solutions to maintain access.

"This is a Band-Aid on a gushing wound and will not be a sustainable solution," said Parker Jean, 19, a political science major.

Board Chair Margaret Quinones-Perez announced at the end of the comment period that the college would pay medical bills for any students who suffered injuries during the disturbance.]

12-05-04 Avaaz reprots attack on its web site.

AVAAZ.org: The World in Action


Avaaz Attacked: Cyber-war vs People Power



Update: 4 May 2012
Wow! Unbelievable response to this, and after 44 hours the attack has abated. They could come back stronger, let's be ready.
Posted: 4 May 2012
Right now, the Avaaz website is under massive attack. An expert is telling us that an attack this large is likely coming from a government or large corporation, with massive, simultaneous and sophisticated assaults from across the world to take down our site.

We were expecting this. Our people-powered campaigning has been fearless, and we've taken on the world's worst actors head-on, in ways that genuinely hurt them - from the Syrian and Chinese regimes to Rupert Murdoch, Big Oil and organized crime. The Syrian dictatorship called our campaigner 'the most dangerous man in the world', and a UK inquiry recently revealed emails between Murdoch's news corporation and top levels of government saying the Avaaz campaign against Murdoch was their biggest concern. Many wondered when these people would come after us.

And it's begun. We have urgent campaigns on oceans, forests and Syria we need to run, but the attack has been going on for 36 hours straight, threatening our ability to keep campaigning.Because of top-notch security, our site is still up, but it's not enough. We need to show these actors that when they attack Avaaz, they're messing with people. And people-power can't be intimidated or silenced, it only grows stronger. 
Use the tool to the right to donate to an Avaaz defence fund to take our security to the next level, and show our attackers that whatever they throw at us only makes us stronger.
