Today's DEPOSITION returns to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG infrastructure---both people as SEXUAL PREDATORS and REVENUE streams from illegal streaming surveillance pornography.  In advance my case against NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG I look for LEGAL PRECEDENCE which often shows crimes different in nature but similar in structure.  For example, I described how each NOSY NEIGHBOR, whether tag team living inside an apartment building being CAPTURED/HARD-WIRED----or those NOSY NEIGHBORS actually owning a building as a home.

I want to equate the structure I call ORGANIZATION BLACK MARKET RICO RACKETEERING PORNOGRAPHY ---as I do calling the structure similar to DRUG DEALING----FEEDBACK this past week created a stucture looking much like that in inner city where small business owners were 'BULLIED' into being 'PROTECTED' by  a local criminal gang with PAYMENT MONEY-----being placed on A LIST------with that business-owner being 'PROTECTED' having that business space open to THE GANG coming and going---having meetings----all while that SMALL BUSINESS OWNER made fearful----feeling he/she could not escape this capture---not wanting to be part of ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES tied to THIS GANG----were left to PAY THE CONFIDENCE MEN.


Confidence man - definition of confidence man by The Free ...

www.thefreedictionary.com/confidence+man confidence man - a swindler who exploits the confidence of his victim. con artist, con man. chiseler, chiseller, defrauder, grifter, scammer, swindler, gouger - a person who swindles you by means of deception or fraud.

My building owners-----LANDLORDS have 40 years in Charles Village a generation of community members dedicated to making CHARLES VILLAGE -----a MODEL COMMUNITY filled with ALL-AMERICAN values----including keeping the community clean, crime-free, and safe.  Today's NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG once being thought a small presence in my community now being those ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE SEXUAL PREDATORS who are capturing the building of OWNERS spending those few decades making the community a MODEL COMMUNITY.  This week FEEDBACK from NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG tells me more about the STRUCTURE AND REVENUE tied to this organization criminal cartel pornography network.

When I here FEEDBACK in my building constantly saying that THE CURRENT LANDLORDS/BUILDING OWNERS have no power to stop this building's capture by HARD-WIRING being done by NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG living inside the building or allowed inside.......I'm hearing from 3rd fl apartment -------

THEY HAVE TO MAKE HER LEAVE----her being me-----THEY KNOW THIS BUILDING IS TOTALLY CAPTURED AFTER I HARD-WIRE THIS THIRD FLOOR.

I spoke about this same conversation from 2nd floor where the intent now is to HARD WIRE all apartments in my building so next tenets will face same conditions I am fighting from this HARD-WIRING of first floor apartment.  The use of the word 'THREATENED' when used by NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG-----always takes what I described in CRIMINAL PROFILING OF SEXUAL PREDATORS------the idea that the THREAT is not to the next tenet to be made illegal PORNOGRAPHY constantly illegal surveilled-------that THREAT is not to the BUILDING OWNERS who make clear they are a HARD NO in wanting to be PIMPS making tenets PROSTITUTES.

THE USE OF THE WORD 'THREAT' AS THE WORD 'TROUBLE' ALWAYS MEANS SOMEONE WHO THREATENS THE REVENUE STREAM OF NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG.

The third floor NOSY NEIGHBOR says I THREATENED  when I responded to the statement my building could not be made SAFE-----that I will come in and remove all illegal surveillance in third floor apartment after tenets leave.  KNOW WHAT?  I AM NOT THE THREAT to what was called a CHARLES VILLAGE as MODEL COMMUNITY free of crime, a safe community and not SATURATED with NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal black market criminal pornography network.

NOSY NEIGHBORS love to send FEEDBACK making it seem I am the problem-----the building would not be HIT ----the LANDLORDS would not be made PIMPS----if I moved out.  That would be FAKE NEWS.


When I hear a NOSY NEIGHBOR saying I need to be FORCED OUT OF MY APARTMENT----because I interrupt a criminal revenue stream------CONFIDENCE MAN----YOU BETTER SIT DOWN BOY/GIRL!




Charles Village:

Baltimore, Maryland

Summary


Recognizing the limits of their authority to address safety concerns, residents, citizen groups, and alliances from Baltimore's Charles Village neighborhood turned to the Maryland State Assembly for help. They proposed establishing a benefits district so they could collect a small levy from property owners for additional security and sanitation services. At the time such districts had been established for U.S. downtowns and commercial zones only and not for residential areas.

The neighborhood's proposal was approved, enabling the Charles Village Community Benefits District to be formed in 1994. Funded by a minimal levy on property values, the district has successfully managed to cut crime in half since its inception while serving as a model for three additional service districts in Baltimore.


Given the neighborhood's strong and dedicated activist community, economic and social diversity, and memorable character enhanced by designs from the renowned Olmsted Brothers firm, APA has named Charles Village as one of 10 Great Neighborhoods in America for 2008.




'Deviant sexual arousal, interests, or preferences

For decades, researchers have found that some sex offenders have interests in—or are aroused to—things that are considered to be outside the realm of healthy or appropriate sexual interests or behavior, including, but not limited to, the following:6
Engaging in sexual contact with young children or adolescents;
Having sexual contact with others against their will or without their consent;

Inflicting pain or humiliation on others;
Participating in or watching acts of physical aggression or violence;
Exposing oneself in a public setting; and/or
Secretly watching others who are undressing, unclothed, or engaging in sexual activities'.


Below I show how the prevalence of these illegal surveillance structures have been reported these several years with the idea that a PHYSICAL PEEPING TOM looking in a window is more likely the illegal surveillance structure I detail inside and outside my house.  Notice, much of these article identify BATHROOMS WITH CAMERAS-----because these BATHROOMS ARE WIRED-----and designed for easy HACKING FOR TOILET CAMS.  The prevalence of FEEDBACK/CHATTER on what are major INSTITUTIONAL CAMPUSES ----open admission to being SEXUAL PREDATORS I show how this saturation will make it impossible to bring a SEXUAL PREDATOR ASSAULT LEGAL LAWSUIT in this jurisdiction-----

This one man is typical of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG----he might work independently but likely he is channeling his PORN to THE NETWORK for revenue.  This man is TYPICAL of my case of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance shouting inside and outside my building that THE BUILDING IS CAPTURED-----WE CONTROL THIS BUILDING......say THE CONFIDENCE MEN AND WOMEN.

'Mall Bathroom 'Peeping Tom' Sentenced To 10 Years In Jail, All Suspended

Thursday, August 23, 2018
Jenny Fulginiti, WBAL-TV 11'



Technology aids 'peeping Toms,' makes trauma worse for victims

A man charged with installing a video camera that filmed people using the family bathroom at the White Marsh Mall has been sentenced.


Mussawwir Sterrett, 40, was sentenced Thursday in Baltimore County Circuit Court to 10 years in jail, with all of it suspended, and five years of supervised probation, said Lisa Dever, of the Baltimore County State's Attorney’s Office. He will have to register as a sex offender.
The state asked for 18 months in jail.
Police said in January that Sterrett put a motion sensor camera inside a family bathroom at White Marsh Mall. Sterrett ran a business installing cameras in people's private homes at the time.



A person using the family bathroom Dec. 23 at the White Marsh Mall food court made the startling discovery.


"A patron walked into the family bathroom and noticed that there was a small black box above the partition between two of the stalls in the family bathroom, and then realized there was a small camera that was attached to that," said Baltimore County police Officer Jennifer Peach.


Police said that camera was set up by Sterrett. They said he caught himself on the video, which they released to the public.

_____________________________________

NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG as I detailed love to create a DELUSIONAL structure of this building capture by illegal surveillance and pornography.  They create all kinds of VOICE-OVERS, all kinds network streaming sharing of parts of videos geared to make it seem the TENET/BUILDING OWNER captured by this SEXUAL PREDATOR RING----are ENSLAVED----are SEX SLAVES----it is a BUSINESS ---PIMP/PROSTITUTE with all involved KNOWING/CONSENTING/LIKING IT when in fact NONE OF THAT EXISTS.  The building owners are being MUSCLED BY CONFIDENCE MEN/WOMEN----while the tenets are simply left unaware until NOSY NEIGHBORS want to bring in NEW STUFF as the next victims/new tenets are called.


This is why all that FEEDBACK/CHATTER surrounding my needing to move---surrounding the fact other apartment in building have been HARD-WIRED with cameras and microphones ------making it appear ANYONE choosing to remain in this building will be CONTRACTED EMPLOYEES PIMPS AND PROSTITUTES.

'I. The U.S. Experience in Cartel Enforcement

Our Supreme Court has accurately labeled cartels "the supreme evil of antitrust." Verizon Communications Inc. v. Law Offices of Curtis V. Trinko, LLP, 540 U.S. 398, 408 (2004). The fixing of prices, bids, output, and markets by cartels has no plausible efficiency justification; therefore, antitrust authorities properly regard cartel behavior as per se illegal and a "hard core" violation of the competition laws.

The United States has long experience prosecuting cartels, and its efforts have yielded solid results. Some of those results are quantifiable: in fiscal years 2004 and 2005, and so far in 2006, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice has obtained fines of $360 million, $338 million, and $473 million, respectively, and has brought criminal cases against 69 firms. Some of the results are less tangible, but no less real: the Division has uncovered evidence that some cartelists choose to compete in the United States, even while continuing cartel behavior in other nations, due to the fear of U.S. prosecution'.



As I say often------these unknowing victims are not the ones SHAMED AND HUMILIATED----as I use examples of ABU GHRAIB and other SEXUAL PREDATOR profiling to identify where SOCIETAL NORMS place SEXUAL PREDATORS outside of CIVIL SOCIETY.

Supposed from yesterday's FEEDBACK my building owners are literally being forced onto CONTRACT status as PIMPS and any tenets should be ready to serve as PROSTITUTES for NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG.

Below I share what will be used as MY LEGAL STRUCTURE in pursuing justice from continuous illegal surveillance to include PORNOGRAPHY.

So, my building owners over several decades spent FIGHTING these criminal structures now being BULLIED BY CONFIDENCE MEN/WOMEN to become those SEXUAL PREDATORS in NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG NETWORKS.



So, now I have CONFIDENCE MEN telling me my building is UNDER CONTRACT for exclusive rights to illegal streaming video and PORNOGRAPHY----

CRIMINAL SANCTIONS FOR CARTEL BEHAVIOUR
ANTHONY GRAY 


Vol 8 No 2 (QUTLJJ)
Criminal Sanctions for Cartel Behaviour

QUTLJJ - Queensland University of Technology Law and Justice ...www.acronymfinder.com/Queensland-University-of...QUTLJJ stands for Queensland University of Technology Law and Justice Journal (Australia).

INTRODUCTION



The Trade Practices Amendment (Cartel Conduct and Other Measures) Bill 2008 (Cth) controversially proposes the introduction of criminal sanctions for certain cartel behaviour. These measures were recommended by the Dawson Committee in its 2003 review, and not surprisingly have the support of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).



In this article, I will introduce the proposed new rules, before assessing whether cartel conduct should be criminalised, in terms of traditional conceptions of what behaviour should be considered to be criminal in nature, as well as the likely effectiveness of the new regime in terms of deterring cartel behaviour, and enforcing cartel provisions more generally.


II

OUTLINE OF PROPOSED NEW RULES

Proposed new s 44ZZRF of the Trade Practices Act 1974
(Cth) will make it an offence  for an individual

to:


(a) make a contract or arrangement, or arrive at an understanding, with the intention of dishonestly obtaining a benefit, where


(b) the contract, arrangement, or understanding (‘the contract etc’) contains a cartel provision.


It is also an offence to give effect to the cartel provision with the intention of dishonestly obtaining a benefit.

This provision, but not the above provision, applies retrospectively. In the absence in either case of evidence that the individual intended to dishonestly obtain a benefit, the conduct can be punished by the civil penalty provisions.

Today's DEPOSITION will update on making my apartment and building safe.  I am making progress but it does take time to understand the extent of capture by hacking and illegal surveillance cameras outside and inside an apartment/building.  These few months I have taken the time to understand just that.  I want to emphasize again, the illegal activities of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG black market streaming video PORNOGRAPHY has not only the NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG as criminal, but those giving the continuous chatter tied to having WATCHED ME in these illegal surveillance.  Both groups meet the definition of SEXUAL PREDATOR------

CRIMINAL PROFILING OF SEXUAL PREDATORS ALWAYS START WITH THAT PERSON OR PERSONS WATCHING AND FOLLOWING A VICTIM-----FROM OUTSIDE TO INSIDE.


'Young (2001) stated that “computer-enabled fantasies are highly reinforcing and the addict’s preoccupation with sexual arousal stems from his own imagination and fantasy history.”'

As I am successful in removing or blocking these illegal surveillance devices I notice NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG----with the FEEDBACK turn to ILLUSION OF SURVEILLANCE to make victim seem they have not been successful-----that they will not escape surveillance.  It is true I am not finished making my apartment/building safe so, I understand there still may be some capture inside my apartment.

I want to discuss in THE DEPOSITION the use of ILLUSION in this black market RICO RACKETEERING online pornography network.  I stated yesterday how NOSY NEIGHBOR uses THE UNIT----the computer operating the video stream capture and processing------to generate VOICE-OVERS------ making it appear someone else is involved----making it appear victim is saying things that victim is not. 

THIS IS THE ILLUSION-----I CALL IT 'DELUSION' OF NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG-----STOCKHOLM SYNDROME MODEL MAKING PEOPLE CONFUSED TO INTIMIDATE AND MAKE FEARFUL.


'For example, law enforcement agents may have the expectation that if there is a profile of the typical sex offender, it might be easier to identify suspects when incidents of sexual assault are reported and the perpetrators have not yet been caught'.

Since indeed, SEXUAL PREDATORS come from all population groups-----I do need to do exactly what the above statement says---------I must identify suspects when incidents of sexual assault are REPORTED while the perpetrators have not yet been caught.

I state often in my DEPOSITION that NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG of SEXUAL PREDATORS come from every population group------that they are MONSTERS, INC-----and lots of times those SEXUAL PREDATORS were VICTIMIZED at some themselves----and we are pretty sure they are STILL BEING VICTIMIZED-----MADE ILLEGAL PORN.



“The Sexual Offender: Monster, Victim, or Everyman?”

The illusion being used today directed at me as a victim is that EVERYBODY DOES THIS------meaning WATCH ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE STREAMING VIDEO PORNOGRAPHY -----this is a DELUSION of societal norms in US that has MOST US citizens against SEXUAL PREDATION---whether child or adult.



Section 3: Common Characteristics of Sex Offenders

TOPIC: COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF SEX OFFENDERS


Introduction

In this section, we’re going to spend some time considering what the research and practice literature tells us about sex offenders, in terms of some characteristics that they may share as a group overall, as well as some ways in which they differ. Researchers have invested a great deal of effort in exploring these issues so that we may begin to understand or explain why some individuals engage in sexually abusive behaviors, and so that we are better able to make decisions about the kinds of interventions that may be most effective for certain aspects of this population. This has proven to be much easier said than done, however.


The Myth of the “Sex Offender Profile”


Oftentimes, the public wants to know who sex offenders are—or who potential sex offenders might be—based on certain personality characteristics, demographics, or other variables, perhaps because of their understandable desire to be able to “spot” these individuals and take protective measures. In fact, for those who are operating under myths or misperceptions about sex offenders and victimization, they may even believe that all sex offenders fit a certain “profile” that makes them easily identified. For example, you might remember the myth that the typical child molester is a “dirty old man” who hangs out at a park or playground waiting to lure a child away with candy. Or that the typical rapist is a masked knife–wielding man lurking in a dark alley or hiding behind a bush waiting to jump out and grab an unsuspecting woman who is passing by. Those and other similar myths are based on the assumption that sex offenders all “look the same,” so to speak, or that they fit a certain profile.


And for a variety of reasons, even some criminal justice professionals may seek to identify such a profile for sex offenders. For example, law enforcement agents may have the expectation that if there is a profile of the typical sex offender, it might be easier to identify suspects when incidents of sexual assault are reported and the perpetrators have not yet been caught. Some judges and other court actors may hope that a “sex offender profile” exists because it will make decisionmaking easier when these cases are brought to the courts. Still others, such as some treatment providers or some supervision officers, may hold onto the belief that there is a profile of a sex offender, because it will make it simpler to treat and supervise them. And finally, some professionals may believe that if there truly is a profile, we can identify persons who might be at risk of becoming a sex offender and therefore be able to prevent sex offenses from happening to begin with.



In reality, however, the research has consistently shown that there is no such thing as a “sex offender profile.” That’s because time and time again, despite attempts to identify a finite and specific set of characteristics that fits for all sex offenders, researchers continue to find that they are a diverse and heterogeneous population.1 So, although the label of “sex offender” might seem to suggest that individuals who commit these crimes are all alike, that is simply not the case. In fact, because they are such a heterogeneous group, it is sometimes difficult to discern how they are uniquely different from other types of criminals or from those of us in the general public, other than the fact that they have engaged in sexually abusive behaviors.


Do you believe that sex offenders are more similar to other community members than they are different?

Why or why not?


Some people have a hard time considering the “similar to us” notion, because it may be easier—or even preferable—to believe that sex offenders are completely and totally different from anyone else, especially from “us.” But let’s remember what the victimization data told us about who these perpetrators tend to be: people we know, including our acquaintances and family members.


Dr. William Marshall, a leading expert in the field of sex offender management, highlighted this very issue in a piece entitled,

“The Sexual Offender: Monster, Victim, or Everyman?”


He suggests that in an attempt to separate themselves from sex offenders, people tend to overlook the other qualities and attributes of these individuals and define them only in terms of their abusive and harmful acts. He goes on to provide a brief review of the research literature, which suggests that sex offenders are a diverse group of individuals who may in fact be more similar to us than they are different.

To illustrate that point, let’s talk about just a few variables:
  • As you have likely experienced in your work, there is no usual age that represents the sex offender—some are young, some are middle–aged, and some are more elderly. It does appear that, within samples of adult sex offenders, older sex offenders recidivate at lower rates than younger adult offenders.3 But we know that people of all ages commit sex offenses, and that a person’s age really doesn’t provide us any insight into whether they might be a sex offender.
  • Nor can any generalizations be made about where they are most apt to fall along the socioeconomic spectrum or social achievement spectrum. This is different from other types of crime, in which socioeconomic status or level of social achievement seems to be a risk factor.4
  • In terms of intellectual functioning or other functional status, we know that some sex offenders are exceptionally bright, others are “average,” and still others may have significant intellectual limitations. You are probably aware that professionals are challenged considerably to “keep up” with those offenders who are intellectually sophisticated and particularly skilled at manipulation and linguistics. In fact, you may have found yourself having a hard time trying to stay just one step ahead of an offender who seems to have great skill at outsmarting others. At the same time, these same professionals may be equally challenged with respect to how to best tailor strategies and interventions for those offenders whose level of intellectual functioning falls well below the average.
  • Although people might argue that an individual must be “crazy” to commit a sex offense, the reality is that most sex offenders are not psychotic or crazy in the truest sense of the word. Some sex offenders have mental health difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, or other disorders, just as many people in the general public do. But that certainly doesn’t cause them to commit a sex offense.
  • What about gender? As you saw, although we know that females do commit sex offenses, the vast majority of sex offenders that come to the attention of the authorities are male.
The bottom line is that none of these variables really shed any light on who is more likely to be a sex offender (with the possible exception of gender). People who commit sex offenses come from all walks of life, and in many instances, they often “look” very much like you or me.

Deviant sexual arousal, interests, or preferences


For decades, researchers have found that some sex offenders have interests in—or are aroused to—things that are considered to be outside the realm of healthy or appropriate sexual interests or behavior, including, but not limited to, the following:6
  • Engaging in sexual contact with young children or adolescents;
  • Having sexual contact with others against their will or without their consent;
  • Inflicting pain or humiliation on others;
  • Participating in or watching acts of physical aggression or violence;
  • Exposing oneself in a public setting; and/or
  • Secretly watching others who are undressing, unclothed, or engaging in sexual activities.

Keep in mind that my case with FEEDBACK on what is called a PUBLIC NETWORK of surveillance with FEEDBACK constantly forcing people TO SAY IT-------people say I SEE HER------forcing people to say----I WATCH HER -----forcing people to say-------I LIKE IT-----I define this CHATTER BEHAVIOR as STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.  The goal of this CHATTER is to make illegal surveillance and pornography seem THE SOCIETAL NORM.



Common Characteristics of Sex Offenders


At this point, given the known heterogeneity of sex offenders, some of you may be wondering whether sex offenders share any common characteristics that can be helpful for understanding their behaviors. The answer is a qualified “yes.” Researchers have examined multiple factors, traits, and characteristics of large samples of sex offenders, and they have found several issues that seem to be common, at least to broad groups of these offenders.


It is important to remember that not all of these issues are present in every sex offender. Nor does it mean that the presence of any of these variables—either alone or in combination – “makes” an individual a sex offender or necessarily causes them to commit sex offenses. Keep in mind that some of these features or characteristics can also be found in samples of other criminals, or within the general population, or even among some of the people in this room! But because these characteristics have been found in samples of sex offenders, experts believe that they may somehow be related to why individuals begin engaging in sexually abusive behavior, particularly when these factors interact with other variables and circumstances. And some, but not all, of these characteristics also predict reoffending among known sex offenders.

Deviant sexual arousal, interests, or preferences


For decades, researchers have found that some sex offenders have interests in—or are aroused to—things that are considered to be outside the realm of healthy or appropriate sexual interests or behavior, including, but not limited to, the following:6
  • Engaging in sexual contact with young children or adolescents;
  • Having sexual contact with others against their will or without their consent;
  • Inflicting pain or humiliation on others;
  • Participating in or watching acts of physical aggression or violence;
  • Exposing oneself in a public setting; and/or
  • Secretly watching others who are undressing, unclothed, or engaging in sexual activities.


Either through self–report or through the use of certain types of physiological assessment instruments, the presence of some of these and other types of deviant sexual interests or arousal patterns can be identified. Some sex offenders may even prefer one or more of these types of behaviors over healthy, consenting sexual relationships with age–appropriate partners—hence, the term deviant sexual preferences. Because these types of interests, urges, arousal, or even preferences can be so strong, it is believed that they are a significant driving force behind the initial onset of sexually abusive behaviors for some sex offenders. Additionally, researchers have found that deviant arousal, interests, or preferences are linked to recidivism.7


Remember, though, not all sex offenders actually have evidence of these deviant interests, arousal patterns, or preferences. And there may also be people in the general public who have some types of deviant interests or preferences—but they may not ever engage in sex offending behaviors. Nonetheless, it is an important risk factor for sex offenders.

The FEEDBACK from NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG constantly saying they are not HARMING ME------

'I work for them you know----they feed me well you know'


NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG like to say SHE MUST LIKE IT ---SHE DOESN'T LEAVE.


'What happens is that sex offenders may tell themselves (and even tell others) that the behavior is not harmful or that it is less serious, or claim that the victim enjoyed the behavior or initiated the sexual contact, or they may come up with justifications for engaging in sex offending behaviors, such as believing that women deserve to be treated in these ways'

All these SECRET WATCHING behaviors work as long as the VICTIM of illegal surveillance is UNAWARE/UNCONSENTING----when this happens the FEEDBACK becomes intimidating, illusions of surveillance is amplified to heighten disorientation/feeling one cannot escape it.

The DELUSION in FEEDBACK continuously refer to my LIKING IT-----my HAVING CONSENTED-----my benefiting from all this illegal surveillance PORNOGRAPHY.  Top of the list of EXCUSES ------she's not ONE OF US-----she fights against US------as though saturated illegal black market racketeering in pornography has MEMBERSHIP PROTECTION--------

Once I started to identify illegal surveillance cameras------started to understand when the FEEDBACK from NOSY NEIGHBOR may be real or illusional----I now can distinguish the ILLUSION of my image capture-------while FEEDBACK insists I am making no progress and because I am simply pretending to address this issue -----I MUST NOT CARE THAT I AM ILLEGAL SURVEILLED.




Victim empathy deficits


A specific interpersonal problem that is believed to be common to many sex offenders is that of empathy deficits.



Cognitive Distortions or Pro–Offending Attitudes


Those who work in this field generally agree that sex offenders are aware that acts such as rape and child molestation are not only illegal but also harmful to others. Yet they engage in this behavior anyway. This is likely the result of cognitive distortions, or pro–offending attitudes. What happens is that sex offenders may tell themselves (and even tell others) that the behavior is not harmful or that it is less serious, or claim that the victim enjoyed the behavior or initiated the sexual contact, or they may come up with justifications for engaging in sex offending behaviors, such as believing that women deserve to be treated in these ways. In so doing, these self–statements give the offenders “permission” to do something that they know is wrong, and therefore they may not feel as badly about themselves for doing it.


The reality is that we all use different types of cognitive distortions to some extent. For example, we may make excuses for driving beyond the speed limit, for “cheating” on a diet, for smoking when one is trying to quit, or for engaging in any other behavior that is problematic, illegal, or otherwise unhealthy. That way, we, too, can avoid feeling guilty or badly about what we are doing. Put simply, the process of using cognitive distortions is not unique to sex offenders.

The types of cognitive distortions that sex offenders use, however, are often related specifically to their own problem behaviors, including general antisocial behaviors or sex offending behaviors.


Not surprisingly, researchers have attempted to measure these kinds of cognitive distortions among samples of sex offenders, and have found that they are fairly common—and oftentimes to a much greater extent than they are found in other samples of criminals or the general public. Intuitively, it would seem that these kinds of self–statements that condone or support sex offending behaviors would increase the likelihood that someone would engage in this type of behavior. It also seems logical that cognitive distortions would be related to continued offending. And the research seems to indicate just that—pro–offending attitudes have indeed been found to be associated with recidivism among sex offenders.


Social, interpersonal, and intimacy deficits


Another cluster of characteristics that seems to be fairly common among sex offenders involves problems in the social or interpersonal realm, with issues such as ineffective communication skills, social isolation, general social skills deficits, or problems in intimate relationships; and some experts believe that these characteristics have some role in the development of sexually abusive behavior. And a few of these issues, such as problems establishing and maintaining intimate relationships, are also associated with an increased risk for sexual recidivism.


Victim empathy deficits


A specific interpersonal problem that is believed to be common to many sex offenders is that of empathy deficits. This concept is about putting oneself in another person’s shoes, so to speak, or the ability to feel what another person may be feeling. For some time it was believed that sex offenders lacked the ability to be empathic in general, although later it was suggested that their deficits were more specific to their victims. While it may not surprise you that victim empathy deficits are common with sex offenders, and that it may be related in part to how individuals are able to engage in sexually abusive behavior, you may be surprised to learn that this specific factor has not been found to predict recidivism among sex offenders.

***************************************************************

The COMPULSION of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG committed all day long to this SEXUAL PREDATION----to constant FEEDBACK tied to WATCHING and sexual activities is indeed a profile of HIGH IMPULSIVITY and they have no idea of CONSEQUENCES.  These urges are expressed OPENLY-----FREQUENTLY----and done with the aura of IMPUNITY.




'For example, some offenders have difficulties managing their emotions appropriately, and some are highly impulsive and tend not to think carefully about the consequences of their behaviors before they act—or they may have difficulty resisting their urges from time to time'.


I discuss often in this DEPOSITION the HARM done to CHILDREN whether victims of NOSY NEIGHBOR illegal surveillance CHILD PORN, or whether NOSY NEIGHBOR is GROOMING a child to be that next SEXUAL PREDATOR------this network places great operational value on use of CHILDREN as VICTIMS/AND OR FUTURE SEXUAL PREDATORS.



'But there does seem to be a relatively high prevalence of sexual or physical abuse among samples of sex offenders'.

Below I see what may be the passion in NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG-----illegal surveillance and pornography using a MODEL OF STOCKHOLM SYNDROME taps into those SEXUAL PREDATORS driven by EMPOWERMENT/CONTROL.  This profile of SEXUAL PREDATOR does not have to involve PREVIOUS sexual abuses-----POWER ISSUES----


'Based in a deep 'moral panic' about the savagery of 'others', a tension is exposed between envy and disgust that oscillates from the lust for the power to control Indigenous 'others' to the desire to 'take care' of the perceived vulnerable by regulating and containing sexual and other 'pleasures' – itself a perversely gratifying experience for the dominant. ...'


The definition of SEXUAL ABUSE varies.  I give example in referring to ABU GHRAIB PRISON TORTURE where those criminally prosecuted tended toward SEXUAL DEVIANCY------likely before they arrived in war zone.  The obsession of ABU GHRAIB torturers, especially the male torturers towards making prisoners commit HOMOSEXUAL SEX ACTS-----------


Poor coping or self–management skills


When looking at other descriptive research or literature about sex offenders, a lack of healthy or effective coping skills is often mentioned. For example, some offenders have difficulties managing their emotions appropriately, and some are highly impulsive and tend not to think carefully about the consequences of their behaviors before they act—or they may have difficulty resisting their urges from time to time. We all know that many people in the general public have difficulties managing certain emotions at times, and many of us can and do act in impulsive ways occasionally. So, although these kinds of problems or features are seen commonly among groups of sex offenders, it does not mean that they are unique to sex offenders. Nor does it mean that these kinds of variables cause people to commit sex offenses. Nonetheless, the research and literature does indicate that some of these factors—specifically emotional and behavioral self–regulation difficulties—may be part of what leads someone down the path to sex offending, and they are also associated with reoffending.



Under–detected deviant sexual behaviors


Do you remember the data that we discussed earlier about the range and extent of deviant sexual behaviors that are previously unknown or undetected until after an offender discloses them during an assessment, polygraph, or through the course of treatment? That, too, is a common characteristic of sex offenders. In other words, the research suggests that the offense for which an individual is apprehended may not actually be the first or only abusive behavior in which he has engaged. I am certainly not suggesting that all sex offenders have hundreds of undisclosed victims and that they all engage in every type of deviant behavior imaginable. Rather, as I mentioned earlier, we need to acknowledge that for many sex offenders, there is often more to the story than initially meets the eye.



History of maltreatment


How many of you have heard that most sex offenders have been sexually abused themselves? This is an area that researchers have been interested in for many years with this population.



Indeed, returning to Dr. Marshall’s work for a moment, there are some who believe that all sex offenders are victims and, as such, they may even suggest that offenders may be less personally accountable for their own offending behaviors. As Dr. Marshall points out, however, the literature does not support the notion that all sex offenders have been sexually abused. Some have been, and some have not.


Among the studies that have examined childhood maltreatment (including sexual victimization) among sex offenders, there is quite a bit of variation. But there does seem to be a relatively high prevalence of sexual or physical abuse among samples of sex offenders. This seems to suggest that there may be some sort of relationship between having been maltreated and later engaging in sex offending behaviors, especially when other kinds of vulnerability or risk factors are present. But in and of itself, there is no research that supports the notion that it actually causes sex offending. And we know that there are many people who have been subjected to physical, sexual, or emotional abuse during their childhood or adolescence, yet they never go on to commit sex offenses. You may also find it interesting to know that when researchers have attempted to explore recidivism among sex offenders based on a history of sexual abuse, no relationship has been found.



Characteristics Associated with Sexual Recidivism



I’ve mentioned several times that some of these characteristics or factors are believed to be related to why individuals begin engaging in sex offending behavior. And I also noted that some of these characteristics have been found to predict reoffending—or sexual recidivism. So that you have a clear understanding of the kinds of factors that are related to recidivism, I will highlight them based on the kinds of factors that are static or unchangeable, and those which have the potential to change over time.



For example, among other factors, researchers have found the following static factors tend to predict sexual recidivism:
  • A younger age of onset of sex offending;
  • Having prior convictions for sex offenses;
  • Targeting male victims;
  • Having unrelated, unfamiliar victims—as opposed to victims who are within the family or who are known to the offender;
  • The presence of deviant sexual interests, or preferences;
  • Being unmarried; and
  • Having an antisocial personality disorder, or the presence of psychopathy.

And in addition, among the kinds of factors or variables that have the potential to change over time, and which predict sexual reoffending, are the following:
  • Problems with intimacy, or conflicts in intimate relationships;
  • Increased hostility;
  • Emotional identification with children;
  • Becoming preoccupied with sexual matters or activities;
  • Lifestyle instability and self–regulation difficulties, such as employment problems, impulsivity, and substance abuse;
  • Attitudes and beliefs that tend to support or justify criminal or antisocial behaviors; and
  • Demonstrating non–compliance with supervision or treatment expectations.

Summary: Interpreting Variability Among Characteristics


So, in thinking about some of these characteristics or traits, do you have a clear image for what a typical sex offender “looks like?”


Well, based on what we’ve covered—and perhaps based on your own experiences with sex offenders—many of you may be having difficulty envisioning the one set of characteristics and features that defines the prototypical sex offender and may be saying to yourselves, “There really isn’t a typical sex offender.” Which is precisely the point that I discussed earlier. Sex offenders are not all alike.


In fact, even though there are some characteristics that many sex offenders share, it appears that there may be more variability—and potential for differences—within the sex offender population overall than there are sweeping similarities. That’s part of what makes sex offender management such a challenge. So although there may be a desire to find the “magic bullet” for treatment, supervision, or even legislation that will fit for all sex offenders, the variability of the sex offender population as a whole makes that impossible.


Does this variability mean that our management efforts are a lost cause?


Not at all! More apt to be the case is that different subtypes, subgroups, or typologies of sex offenders exist. And in the next section, that’s exactly what we’ll review. By attempting to identify these subtypes or typologies and the common characteristics or features within each of these subtypes, it may be possible to develop more tailored and effective approaches to intervention, rather than attempting to use a single, “one size fits all” approach to managing these offenders.

As I remove and or block cameras I have identified NOSY NEIGHBOR ramps up the ILLUSION of camera capture by VOICE FEEDBACK and by using camera to project FLASHES OF LIGHT across rooms---against walls to give the appearance the camera-action is still ALL AROUND THE VICTIM.

I discussed using LIGHT AND SHADOW to determine whether there is REFLECTIVE capture from mirror/glass that could act as camera capture.  The next use of camera to give an ILLUSION is the creation of FLASH AROUND ROOM.  A camera can be BLOCKED----and still used to EMIT FLASHES which look like camera sites.



'What concerns the most is where it is placed—changing rooms, public toilets and hotel rooms are highly known areas where your privacy can be blown out to public, or could lane you in a big trouble'.

As I work to understand what medium works best in covering/blocking cameras for example--------I see NOSY NEIGHBOR using FLASH ACTION to make it appear one medium or another is not working.  My earliest efforts at covering cameras had me using FOAM BOARD---WOOD-----AND METAL.  At this point I am sure the METAL is working----depending upon the grade of camera----the WOOD is working.  Cloth does not appear to block-----

The grade of camera-------those cameras captured in ALARMS like SMOKE/CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS----are a lower-grade of camera then the ones NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG place behind WALLS for example.  I can believe the higher-grade cameras behind walls may indeed penetrate PLASTIC BATHTUB LINERS-----can maybe penetrate PARTICLE BOARD -----not PLASTER.


So, as I work to UPGRADE earlier covering------NOSY NEIGHBOR likes to use ILLUSION OF CAMERA FLASHES to make me feel I am still surrounded by cameras.

How to spot hidden cameras


Published Apr 8, 2015, 7:03 pm IST
Updated Mar 29, 2019, 12:16 pm IST



With technology downsizing to smaller packages, privacy is a big threat
 With technology downsizing to smaller packages, privacy is soon turning into a big threat


The recent news about a camera spying on customers changing their clothes in a well-known boutique in Goa has once again raised the question about privacy. The customer reported that she discovered a camera pointed to the changing room and on investigation, it was found that the videos were recorded on a computer from another room in the same premises.


With technology downsizing to miniscule sizes, the world is changing for good. However, there are certain tech gadgets that are causing a threat to privacy. Cameras, the one piece of technology has shrunk down to a miniscule size from what they were before. Cameras have become portable, battery operated and tiny and almost every smartphone out there has at least two of them.  Micro cameras are also available, are as tiny as a rice grain and can be pushed down through your blood arteries and veins for an inside view to help medical advances. However, the tiny camera can expose one’s privacy with great ease. It just needs to be placed intelligently and hidden into some article in the room or camouflaged into something that can go undetected.


With spy (tiny and camouflaged) cameras easily available online and for as cheap as Rs 500 or even lower, privacy is at a higher stake everywhere. Be it your local store, your commute vehicle, a mall, your boutique changing, public toilets or even your hotel room. What concerns the most is where it is placed—changing rooms, public toilets and hotel rooms are highly known areas where your privacy can be blown out to public, or could lane you in a big trouble. So how would you know if your room is bugged with a camera? How would you detect it?


There are a few simple ways that can help you find a hidden camera in the room you are. However, not all are foolproof methods today. Crooks are getting smarter and mounting cameras in various areas, which are well camouflaged into daily objects that go undetected. It could be mounted into a flower pot, in the ceiling, inside smoke detectors, behind mirrors, inside clothes hangers, wall clocks, switches and switch boards, inside the wall, and many more. You have to think one step ahead and find out where it can be hidden, if it is. Below are a few areas where cameras can be hidden and how you should find out.


Curiously check for any cameras and wires that can be in the room. Check flower pots, smoke detectors, wires hanging around the place for no reason, wires leading around the edges of the wall, unnecessary bulges  and repairs on walls, etc. check if the mirror is a two-way mirror. Tap the mirror for hollow sounds—it could be a two-way mirror, even if it is flush with the wall. If you are in a hotel room check your toilets, bathrooms, bedroom area etc for out of place items. Check every article such as clock, television, cupboards, wall units, etc for possible camera and hidden wires. If you are in a changing room, check the clothes hanger, switches and switchboards, clock, ceiling, smoke detectors, flower pots, chair and tables, almost everything in sight.



There are anti-spy gadgets available in the market, which can help detect hidden cameras. Though they may be a bit pricey, if you are concerned about privacy, you should invest on a piece. Even your smartphone can help you find certain hidden cameras by a simple trick.
Below are a few pictures and videos that can help you with various methods to find hidden cameras.


Two-way mirrors: Check your changing room and hotel room for two-way mirrors. It is difficult to detect whether the mirror is a giveaway at first glance, but you can still find out. Every mirror, even though it is mounted in a frame on flush with the wall, should not have anything behind it. Tap it in all areas to find out if it gives you a hollow sound. If it does, there could be something behind it. Another way to find out if your mirror is a two-way mirror is a fingernail test. Touch your fingernail to the mirror at a 90-degree angle. If the reflection and your fingernail touch each other with no gap in between, it is a two-way mirror. A conventional mirror has the reflecting surface behind the glass and you should see a gap of a few mm between the reflection and the original object. Watch the video below:


PLEASE DO NOT USE SMART PHONE AS DETECTOR-----SMART PHONES ARE TOP HACKING PRODUCT FOR ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE-----BUY A DETECTING PRODUCT.


Use your smartphone to detect hidden cameras: You can use your smartphone to search for hidden cameras too. Surveillance cameras usually use night vision for night surveillance. They make use of IR LEDs to produce infrared light, which can be only visible by a camera. Turn your room completely dark—turn off all lights in the room. The start your smartphone in camera mode and point it around the room. If you see any red or purple lights (bright or dim) you could have spotted a night vision camera. If you don’t know how an infra red light looks like, you can do the following as a test. Turn off all your lights in the room and start up the camera. Now use any television/DVD/AC remote and press the buttons while pointing it to the smartphone’s camera. You will see the infrared light emitted by the IR LED on the remote.


A smartphone with a flash is can also help with spotting regular cameras. Download some flashlight apps which can flash signals (blink at fast rates). Start the flashlight app and set the app to rapidly flash the LED on and off. Now do this in the dark room and flash the light against all the areas and from all possible angles. If there is a hidden camera in the room, you should be able to see a tiny red dot or light reflecting back to you from the camera’s lens. Try this at home if you can. Place any camera, or a smartphone with the camera pointing in your direction (this will act as a spy camera). Now turn off the lights and start the flashlight app on your smartphone. The flashing light will reflect off the ‘spy’ camera’s lens and you will be able to spot it. There are gadgets available in the market that is specially meant for this method of spy camera detection.

DEPOSITION continues as I think back to what FEEDBACK I was hearing BEFORE I knew I was hacked and captured by illegal surveillance------everyone hears a neighbor whether outside or somewhat in row houses through walls not amplified but general activities---before knowing of this capture late Fall/first of year I noticed NOSY NEIGHBOR communicating in ways that seemed strange-----definitely makes one feel a degree mental instability may be behind these FEEDBACK conversations.

For example, while hearing what I call SEX TALK in FEEDBACK one does not immediately think someone is illegal surveilling---it could just be that NEIGHBOR having that right to speak on their own property even if I didn't like the content.  So, at first while able to HEAR this FEEDBACK SEX TALK----VOYEUR discussion of my habits inside apartment, my reaction was still at that point thinking a NOSY NEIGHBOR was simply IRRATIONAL not thinking it threatening.

An example which showed escalation was when I was out back walking down BASEMENT STAIRS and NOSY NEIGHBOR was communicating with what appeared to be me----while acting as though she WAS ME. 

FEEDBACK from NOSY NEIGHBOR-----

I LIKE HER------SHE IS GOOD TO ME--------


What has occurred since January when I recognized I was being illegal surveillance by camera and microphone was the growing use of psychological FEEDBACK CHATTER like described above.  What became apparent at this point in my case was NOSY NEIGHBOR in this illegal surveillance PORNOGRAPHY was trying to create this APPEARANCE that the victim of these illegal captures WERE ENSLAVED-----OWNED AND CONTROLLED by these NOSY NEIGHBOR PORNOGRAPHY groups.  The chatter I share above was simply that.  In VOICE DUBBING these streaming videos which are sold on a BLACK MARKET DARK WEB PORN SITE as we posted yesterday as example from IRELAND -----this attempt to make it appear ORDINARY US CITIZENS black, white, or brown are somehow CAPTURED TO A DEGREE OF HAVING NO CONTROL OVER THEIR LIVES.

I was not saying those words above-----I was not saying I like her-----she is good to me---------it was NOSY NEIGHBOR doing voice dubbing to fit the illegal surveillance videos they were taking inside and outside my building and apartment.



Now, victims of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG as I state over and over DO NOT KNOW THEY ARE BEING SURVEILLED----they DO NOT KNOW THEY ARE BEING MADE PORNOGRAPHY-----they HAVE NOT CONSENTED so, the victims are not the one's saying these statement above----

IT IS NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG saying what is clearly STOCKHOLM SYNDROME psychological structures.  This is why from early on ----in January I have structured my DEPOSITION and understanding of this ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE structure around terms tied to STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.  STOCKHOLM SYNDROME is a term developed during WW2-----and the installation of far-right wing global corporate FASCISM-----via HITLER/STALIN/MAO.  These fascist structures used these VERY SAME psychological 'warfare' techniques on their 99% of citizens back then.

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME MODEL WAS USED AT ABU GHRAIB BY PRISON TORTURERS.


So, this is why I use these terms in advancing my SEXUAL ASSAULT by SEXUAL PREDATORS tied to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG.



There is no universally accepted definition of the Stockholm Syndrome but it has been suggested that it is present if one or more of the following is observed:



positive feelings by the captive towards his/her captor.
negative feelings by the captive toward the police or authorities trying to win his/her release.


positive feelings by the captor towards his/her captive.

It has been found to occur in circumstances where there is:



a perceived threat to survival and a belief that the captor is willing to carry out that threat.
a perception by the captive of some small kindness from the captor within the context of terror.
isolation from perspectives other than those of the captor.
perceived inability to escape.



The following explanation has been put forward for the phenomenon.


The abuser (or captor) terrifies the victim, who cannot escape, by threatening his or her physical or psychological survival. As a result of being terrified the victim needs nurturance and protection. Being isolated from others, the victim must turn to the abuser for this if s/he turns to anyone. If the abuser shows the victim some small kindness this creates hope in the victim, who then ignores her rage at the terror-creating side of the abuser (because this rage would be experienced as overwhelming) and bonds to the positive side of the abuser. With the hope that the abuser will let him or her live, the victim works to keep the abuser happy. In trying to determine what will keep the abuser happy, the victim's own needs, feelings and perspectives must take second place and s/he unconsciously takes on the world view of the abuser. The victim sees the abuser as the "good guy" and those trying to win his/her release (e.g. police or therapists) as the "bad guys", as this is the way the abuser sees things. Over a period of months or years, the victim's entire sense of self may come to be experienced through the eyes of the abuser. The victim may have extreme difficulty leaving the abuser, if the opportunity arises, because s/he no longer sees a reason to do so.

As I discussed these few months of heightened FEEDBACK on THE NETWORK tied to CHATTER meant to scare/intimidate/humiliate me with goals of forcing me to MOVE-----forcing me to feel I had to JOIN with this NETWORK as supporting the NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG system what I saw were indeed the REAL VICTIMS OF STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.

When FEEDBACK says-------SAY IT and people SAY IT----when FEEDBACK says --SAY YOU LIKE US------and people say they like THE NETWORK----when FEEDBACK says ----SAY IT and people say THEY DON'T CARE ------I see what is UNQUESTIONABLY ------people captured in this STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.

Throughout these few months I have DOCUMENTED these FEEDBACK whether from NOSY NEIGHBOR or general chatter because it clearly identifies a CAPTURED mentality------clearly identifies people identifying with what are DEPRAVED ACTIVITIES such as SEXUAL PREDATOR ------ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE PORNOGRAPHY.


In describing who are part of THE NETWORK----I don't everyone in THE NETWORK is tied to CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY SEXUAL PREDATION-----I often use the term 5% GLOBAL BANKING FREEMASON/GREEK players who at this point in US are increasingly the only one gaining employment.  This is why I feel very sure these STOCKHOLM SYNDROME activities are tied to BEING EMPLOYED these days.

 One of the top drivers in being targeted by this part of what we call THE NETWORK is SPEECH.  If someone dares speak out against THE POWER STRUCTURE of a city----against PUBLIC POLICY MOVING FORWARD in these cities deemed FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES-----they become TARGETED with goals to SILENCE that person ------to make them feel they have no ability to escape from societal structures being installed as part of what I call ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE DEEP, DEEP, REALLY DEEP STATE-----nothing more STOCKHOLM SYNDROME than that goal.

Below we see a current article albeit FAKE NEWS global banking 1% media ------discussing this very phenomena.  I as a victim of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG psycho-sexual attacks KNEW IMMEDIATELY what this MODEL of SEXUAL PREDATION was copying.

SERVING 'THE ONE' -----

This article makes one believe THE ONE is a US President for example----CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA --now TRUMP.  What we know to be THE ONE-------is the people at the top of this global movement of ONE WORLD ----I call this OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS ---KNIGHTS OF MALTA---TRIBE OF JUDAH who were behind all these MADMEN of WW2 driving all of what was later defined as STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.

As I develop my lawsuit surrounding SEXUAL VIOLENCE in this case  I am documenting why my case MAY BE suitable for INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT which was created back in this period to HOLD THOSE MADMEN accountable for DEPRAVITY and uses of these TORTURES.


As a US SOVEREIGN CITIZEN I do not need the ONE -----THEM -----or whoever is tied to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG in order to restore a SAFE condition in my residence-----I simply need to use RULE OF LAW----whether US FEDERAL LAW----or LAWS OF NATIONS  tied to HUMAN RIGHTS and several centuries of COMMON LAW/TREATIES stating my human rights as too my US CIVIL RIGHTS.

I WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK JUSTICE AS A SOVEREIGN CITIZEN NOT BOTHER WITH JOINING NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG TO 'ESCAPE' THIS ILLEGAL CAPTURE OF MY LIVING SPACE.


This shows my pattern in developing my DEPOSITION for coming LAWSUITS against SEXUAL ASSAULTS from SEXUAL PREDATORS in my community and each community in BALTIMORE.


The Nuremberg Syndrome: “SERVING ‘THE ONE’” 

by Thomas Pastore

August 15, 2016 The-EditorThomas Pastore

The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held by the Allies after World War II which were most notable for the prosecution of prominent members of the political, military, judicial and economic leadership of Nazi Germany who planned, carried out, or otherwise participated in the Holocaust and other war crimes. The trials were held in the city of Nuremberg, Germany.


   The effects of these trials and the transcripts of “defense” left a residual effect in many countries that allows those in power to lose perspective of who they are there to serve.

   The Nuremberg Syndrome: “…these misdeeds did not happen according to my wishes…Once again I would stress that I am guilty of having been obedient, having subordinated myself to my official duties . . . .  That is what the government did” — Words of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi trying to defend his World War II atrocities at his trial, held in Israel in 1961.


   These are the words of a political criminal who felt his obedience to one man was justified because the “needs of the many” or the country became less important than the selfish needs of the few or, in this case, the “One.” This blind, robotic, worshiping of one man’s dream is what destroyed a most powerful but dangerous country, a country that became divided into two separate nations for many decades and is still feeling the effects of one man’s evil dream.


   This man-made attitude continues to exist today and has infected a country that had great potential as a standard-bearer of real and responsible exercises of freedoms and liberties, the once United States of America. These last 7-1/2 years have shown an administration defying the “rule of law,” ignoring the Constitution, and conducting the business of the people as “ruler” and not as a leader.
___________________________________________

One of the most common FEEDBACK these few months of my fighting NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance and pornography falls within this model of STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.  The goal of this psych-sexual capture is to make the victim---as me-----feel he/she has no connection in community ----with family or friends.  THAT IS THE STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.

I constantly here other people being threatened THE ONE on this NETWORK to be identified---to be 'HIT' which means placed under this illegal surveillance and pornography------to have FRIENDS AND FAMILY 'HIT' if that person, like myself does not embrace this STOCKHOLM SYNDROME structure.

Now, whether one believes any person daring to SMILE at ME------talk to ME------communicate with ME-----will feel a retaliation-----THE THREAT is the goal to induce FEAR AND INTIMIDATION.
 

Supposedly, after some months of this NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG retaliation -----I am being deemed as SUPPORTED BY NO ONE-------no wonder.

I will be using LAWS OF NATIONS in my legal pursuits ---this document tied to international laws/treaties for thousands of years having been modernized over time----because it expresses all those HUMAN RIGHTS I have in many areas ---such as free speech to fight public policy----political POWER in this city-----as well as advancing this LAWSUIT against NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG.  LAWS OF NATIONS also dictate societal norms for OFFENSES to include SEXUAL ASSAULTS/PREDATION as not THE NORM/CRIMINAL


Those I call the global banking 5% freemason/Greek players black, white, and brown who love to say WE DON'T CARE------if EMPIRE ALICE DOES NOT CARE-----are trying to kill all these several centuries of SOCIETAL NORMS under LAWS OF NATIONS.

Looks like both the TENET and the BUILDING OWNER have rights to PRIVACY and property ownership which is NOT CAPTURED by NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance and pornography.



UNITED NATIONS CHARTER
'Article 19.
 
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers'.




'Even the whole UN notion of “human rights” should be viewed for what it is: a tool of tyrants to attack the real rights that have underpinned Western traditions since the Magna Carta. Indeed, unbeknownst to average Americans and humanity as a whole, the UN means something very different when it discusses “human rights” than, say, the unalienable, God-given rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. In the American system, rights such as self-defense, free speech, religious liberty, trial by jury, privacy, and property ownership are endowed by the Creator upon every individual — a truth that America’s Founding Fathers viewed as “self-evident.”'

Below I share what in Baltimore is a typical residential building structure I am quite sure is captured by NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG.  Whether my row house style of residential living or these larger CONDO COMPLEXES----every building in my community as too very likely this building as been subjected to RENOVATIONS/BUILDING REPAIRS which have opened the door to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG installing these illegal surveillance equipment/devices----and/or hacking into a building' electrical circuitry. 

A CITY does not OWN PROPERTY. This is the same THE CITY owning a hotel---THE HILTON.  Our government is not in the business of being private residential building owners.

This area of West Baltimore MOVING FORWARD in next phase of US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE development into a global corporate campus/global factory no doubt saturated with NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG. 

Yes, THE MAYOR KNOWS THIS.


Come to Baltimore and expect your living space will be captured by NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG.

Mayor Pugh’s mover got city-owned condo at bargain price


EXCLUSIVE: Politically-connected mover gets condominium at well below market rate. Pugh fails to abstain from BOE vote.


Above: The city-owned condominium building at 3306 North Hilton Street, facing Lake Ashburton, where Allen Burris purchased a unit at a bargain price. (Fern Shen)


Shortly after moving Mayor Catherine Pugh into her new Ashburton home last summer, Allen P. Burrus was awarded a city-owned condominium at signifiantly under its appraised value.


Burrus gained title to unit 203 of the Hanlon Park Condominium through an agreement of sale authorized by the mayor and the Board of Estimates on September 26, 2018 – approximately two months after Allen & Son Moving & Storage moved the mayor into her new Ellamont Road house.


The mayor’s office has not responded to a request by The Brew for comment on the house move, including documentation showing that she paid the politically well-connected Burrus for the move. Burrus also has not responded to Brew inquiries.


The condo sale was approved by Pugh and three of four board members despite a sales price of $11,500 – or 28% below the unit’s $16,000 appraised value.


City rules require that board members abstain from voting on matters, especially financial matters, that involve friends, family, associates or other potential conflicts of interest.


The only board member who abstained was Comptroller Joan Pratt, who is in charge of disbursing surplus municipal real estate and also runs her own CPA firm.

VIDEO: The September 26, 2018 Board of Estimates meeting in which the condominium sale was approved. Comptroller Joan Pratt abstained. Mayor Catherine Pugh did not. (CharmTV)


Pratt said she abstained because she did accounting work for Burrus more than a decade ago. “It has been my practice to abstain from votes on anything that I may have been involved in personally or professionally,” she said.


City rules further require the BOE to obtain the best price for any city property undergoing sale.
A review of recent sales at the Hanlon Park Condominium, a well-kept brick building on Hilton Street and Liberty Heights Avenue, show prices of equivalent square-foot units from $40,000 to $52,319.
The unit purchased by Burrus is currently assessed at $41,800 by the Maryland Depart of Assessments and Taxation.


Estate Gave Condo to City

The condo unit had been donated to the city in June 2014 as part of a final estate disbursement. In September 2015, the City Council passed an ordinance approving the condo’s sale to the public.


It is not known whether Pratt’s office received prior bids on the property or whether it was ever offered for sale to the public.
The Brew has requested this information from the comptroller and the real estate department, which is run by Walter J. Horton.


[This story incorrectly stated that the Comptroller’s office failed to respond to this request. The Comptroller’s office had not been contacted. Since publication, that office has been queried and is working to respond to the request.]


Yesterday The Brew disclosed that Horton received a $500 campaign contribution from Burrus while running for a state delegate seat in the 41st District.


Horton lost in the June 2018 Democratic Party primary.
Water Damage Lowers Price

By all measures, Horton’s department arranged the condo sale to Burrus in record time.
Usually, such sales take many weeks, if not months, to wind their way to the Board of Estimates, especially if they require approval by city’s property sales review committee.


This sale went from appraisal on August 30, 2018 to approval by the BOE on September 26, 2018.


However, during this time frame an unusual event took place, especially during the mild summer weather of last September:


“Subsequent to the appraisal, the property suffered structural deterioration due to extensive water damage,” the BOE was told by Horton’s office.
As a result, the sale of the unit was lowered from the appraised value of $16,000 to $11,500.


Pugh and the board approved the below-market sale, according to BOE records, not only because it “will promote economic development” by returning a property to the tax rolls, but will be “a specific benefit to the immediate community, as the purchaser intends to create an affordable rental unit upon completion of repairs.”


The condo, located four blocks from the mayor’s new residence, is in a building that is a block from Lake Ashburton.

Today in my DEPOSITION I continue to look at the environmental conditions in Baltimore which allow saturated SEXUAL PREDATORS like NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG to exist.  I spoke yesterday I will be seeking to change COURT JURISDICTION because of extreme PREJUDICE from law enforcement, justice and courts surrounding sexual crimes here in Baltimore.

I say EXTREME BIAS----same as PREJUDICE.


Venue
this comes in after we know we're going to federal court, and this talks about which specific court we go to. P may lay venue in any district where 1) all Ds reside or 2) a substantial part of the claim arose (special rule: if Ds live in different districts but same state then P can pick between either of the districts)


Transfer of Venue

a federal district court may transfer the case to another federal district court. But it can only transfer to a district where the case could have been filed (meaning the venue has PJ over defendant). Exception: can transfer to any district if all parties consent and court finds cause, i.e. 1) original venue proper: based on convenience and justice and other court is better, 2) original venue improper: may transfer based on justice or dismiss------apply the law of the transferor court unless it was an improper venue

Supplemental Jurisdiction
this is not used to get a case into federal court, but works only after a case is already in fed. Court - this is to see if an additional claim that doesn't meet SMJ or FQ supplemental jurisdiction might still get it in. Two steps: 1) the test- the claim must share a common nucleus of operative fact with the claim that got in. (if same transaction or occurence T/O then it always meets the test); 2) the limitation - but in a diversity case the P cannot use supplemental jurisdiction to overcome a lack of diversity

Here we see MARYLAND setting PRECEDENCE over seeking legal actions against ONLINE DARK WEB PORN-----

Extradited: Irish-American man allegedly spread child porn
  • 8:46 am
  • March 26, 2019
  • National news from the Associated Press
GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — An Irish-American man has been extradited from Ireland to the United States on charges that he helped distribute child porn on the darknet.


The Baltimore Sun reports the U.S. Attorney’s Office says 33-year-old dual citizen Eric Eoin Marques has a Wednesday hearing in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland on charges of conspiracy to advertise and distribute child pornography.


Prosecutors say Marques hosted an anonymous hosting service on the darknet that spread the porn for five years. He was arrested in 2013 after a malware attack revealed his identity.


The darknet is a part of the internet hosted within an encrypted network such as the Tor browser, which grants anonymity by rerouting user traffic.


The newspaper says he was extradited Saturday and court records didn’t list an attorney for him.
__________________

When you live in a region of US where NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance and pornography is IGNORED by all pathways of bringing justice, look to take private/class action lawsuit to different VENUE/COURT JURIDICTION.  So, my case is both criminal and civil---it will involve US Federal RICO RACKEETERING laws as well as HUMAN RIGHTS laws tied to INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Prejudice
(legal term)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



This article is about the legal term used in criminal, civil and common law. For the type of decision within European Union law, see Prejudicial question.Prejudice is a legal term with different meanings when used in criminal, civil or common law. Often the use of prejudice in legal context differs from the more common use of the word and thus has specific technical meanings implied by its use.


Two of the more common applications of the word are as part of the terms "with prejudice" and "without prejudice". In general, an action taken with prejudice is essentially final; in particular, "dismissal with prejudice" would forbid a party from refiling the case, and might occur either because of misconduct on the part of the party who filed the claim or criminal complaint or could be the result of an out of court agreement or settlement. Dismissal without prejudice (in Latin, "salvis iuribus") would leave the party an option to refile, and is often a response to procedural or technical problems with the filing that the party could correct when filing again.



**************************************************************

There is also the question of STATUTES OF LIMITATION.  Each state has laws----the Federal government has laws----the INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURTS have laws regarding how long one has to seek justice---this case being SEXUAL ASSAULT----

The difference as I state between one incident of RAPE----one-time crime---and NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG continuous streaming of illegal surveillance PORNOGRAPHY with NO CONSENT from victim is this:

First, it is a FEDERAL CRIME as downloading and sending these streaming PORN VIDEOS is RACKEETING through WIRE/CABLE CRIMES. As I see below MARYLAND has no STATUTE OF LIMITATION on FEDERAL SEXUAL OFFENSES.
  Most US states have NO LIMITATIONS for FELONY SEXUAL OFFENSES.  This is not a ONE TIME misdomeanor sexual offense.

Second, the STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS are tied to how long a victim of sexual assault has ONCE THEY KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN ASSAULTED to file complaints.  In cases with NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG where illegal unconsented surveillance made into PORNOGRAPHY can have occurred over a few years BEFORE victims knows they have been compromised.  So, these statutes start once victim knows and takes legal steps.

On a separate issue of SEXUAL ASSAULT----I am posting examples of CATHOLIC CHILD PREDATOR PRIESTS et al where victims of PRIESTS were not allowed to seek justice because of CATHOLIC JURISDICTION being OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS VATICAN.

When articles say these catholic sexual assaults have exceeded STATUTES OF LIMITATION -----look to move court venue/jurisdiction becausse CATHOLIC CHURCH is FOREIGN ENTITY----with international JURISDICTION.

THINK OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS-----THESE CASES NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG/PREDATOR PRIESTS.



Statutes of Limitations for Sexual Assault A State-by-State Comparison


Current as of 8/21/2013
This chart summarizes the applicable state statutes of limitations for the prosecution of various sexual assault crimes. The chart also highlights states that have a DNA exception to the statute of limitations. Though the specifics vary from state to state, a DNA exception allows for the tolling of a statute of limitations in cases where a perpetrator is later identified through DNA evidence. As of the date of this chart, 27 states have some form of a DNA exception that extends the time limit for prosecuting the offense
.
Additionally, 8 states do not have any statute of limitations for
prosecuting felony sexual assault.


Of these states, Delaware has no statute of  limitations for any sexual offense; Wyoming and South Carolina have no statute of limitations for any criminal prosecution.


States without a statute of limitations would not need a DNA exception.



Maryland
Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. §§ 5-106, 117



Felony sexual offense or misdemeanor punished by imprisonment in a penitentiary ----------None


Other misdemeanor sex offense-------
1 year


*********************************************************

I want to look quickly at the PSYCHOLOGY of SEXUAL PREDATOR/CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ----as tied to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG as well as victims of CATHOLIC PRIEST CHILD PREDATORS.  When NON-CONTACT AND CONTACT SEXUAL ASSAULTS become SATURATED in our US communities we see a STEEP CURVE of what pschology knows well------the victims of SEXUAL ASSAULT/ABUSE as children can, not always become those SEXUAL ABUSERS.

This is why in my case I speak constantly against what are NOSY NEIGHBORS having children while acting as SEXUAL PREDATORS ---AND the fact that many RECRUITED to be NOSY NEIGHBORS or work as WATCHERS are children themselves.

As I said my NOSY NEIGHBOR in FEEDBACK said her parents are NOSY NEIGHBORS----a child grows up in this environment and is made to think all this is LEGAL, OK, EMPOWERING-----they think what is a black market crime is a BUSINESS.  A drug dealer think he/she has a business------SORRY, THAT WOULD BE FAKE NEWS.

When children and or VICTIMS of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG are subjected to what is PSYCHO-SEXUAL TORTURE -----constant FEEDBACK meant to scare/intimidate/make victim feel they are CAPTURED/ENSLAVED not able escape surveillance------when people are TRAINED to be NOSY NEIGHBORS ---when religious leaders as CATHOLIC PREDATOR PRIESTS work to silence victims making their CRIMES seem IMPOSSIBLE TO ATTAIN JUSTICE======

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO MANY VICTIMS OF THESE KINDS OF SEXUAL ABUSE ESPECIALLY IN MY CASE OF NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANGS.

This idea that the SEXUAL PREDATOR is not SHAMED OR HUMILIATED-----but this network works hard to make it APPEAR it is THE VICTIMS who are shamed and humiliated just as ABU GHRAIB TORTURE VICTIMS for example.


The Stockholm Syndrome


The Stockholm Syndrome was originally developed to explain the phenomenon of hostages bonding with their captors. The name refers to a bank holdup in Stockholm, Sweden in 1973 when four people were held hostage for six days by two men. The hostages and their captors bonded with each other and the hostages actually came to see their captors as protecting them from the police. One was even reported as later becoming engaged to one of the captors.
Subsequent research found that such a reaction had occurred in allthe "hostage" groups studied, including cult members, battered women, incest victims and physically or emotionally abused children. Researchers have concluded that this seems to be a universal phenomenon which may be instinctive and thus play a survival function for hostages who are victims of abuse.
There is no universally accepted definition of the Stockholm Syndrome but it has been suggested that it is present if one or more of the following is observed:

  1. positive feelings by the captive towards his/her captor.
  2. negative feelings by the captive toward the police or authorities trying to win his/her release.
  3. positive feelings by the captor towards his/her captive.
It has been found to occur in circumstances where there is:
  1. a perceived threat to survival and a belief that the captor is willing to carry out that threat.
  2. a perception by the captive of some small kindness from the captor within the context of terror.
  3. isolation from perspectives other than those of the captor.
  4. perceived inability to escape.
The following explanation has been put forward for the phenomenon.
The abuser (or captor) terrifies the victim, who cannot escape, by threatening his or her physical or psychological survival. As a result of being terrified the victim needs nurturance and protection. Being isolated from others, the victim must turn to the abuser for this if s/he turns to anyone. If the abuser shows the victim some small kindness this creates hope in the victim, who then ignores her rage at the terror-creating side of the abuser (because this rage would be experienced as overwhelming) and bonds to the positive side of the abuser. With the hope that the abuser will let him or her live, the victim works to keep the abuser happy. In trying to determine what will keep the abuser happy, the victim's own needs, feelings and perspectives must take second place and s/he unconsciously takes on the world view of the abuser. The victim sees the abuser as the "good guy" and those trying to win his/her release (e.g. police or therapists) as the "bad guys", as this is the way the abuser sees things. Over a period of months or years, the victim's entire sense of self may come to be experienced through the eyes of the abuser. The victim may have extreme difficulty leaving the abuser, if the opportunity arises, because s/he no longer sees a reason to do so.
For victims of sexual abuse, their families and therapists, the Stockholm Syndrome is useful in explaining the victim's experiences, current "symptoms" and the relationship between victim and abuser. It can help remove the tendency of the victim to blame him or herself for "allowing" the abuse to continue or for "causing" the abuse. It can also help to make sense of the ways in which the victim's perceptions of themselves and the abuser can be distorted, by explaining those distortions in terms of the Syndrome and making clear their origins as an instinctive survival function.
The following are some common ways in which the victim's view of their situation can become distorted, with the corresponding explanations in terms of the Stockholm Syndrome:
The victim denies the abuser's violence against him/her and focuses on his positive side.Explanation: An unconscious attempt to find hope (and thus a way to survive) in a situation in which s/he would otherwise feel powerless and overwhelmed.
The victim feels shame for abuse done to him/her.Explanation: Reflects the victim having taken the abuser's perspective (namely, that s/he caused the abuse and therefore it was deserved).
The victim resents outsiders' attempts to free him/her from the abuser.Explanation: The victim knows that the abuser is likely to retaliate against him/her for any disloyalty shown, so s/he resists others' attempts to free her or to hold the abuser accountable for the abuse.
The victim identifies with the "victim" in the abuser.Explanation: This represents the projection of the victim's own victim status onto the abuser. It enables the victim to feel sympathetic and caring towards the abuser.
The victim believes s/he deserved the abuser's violence.Explanation: This represents an attempt to feel that s/he controls when and whether the violence/abuse is done and thus permits him/her to believe s/he can stop the abuse.
The victim rationalises the abuser's violence against him/her.Explanation: An attempt to maintain a bond with the abuser (and thus hope of survival) in the face of behaviour (abuse) that would otherwise destroy that bond (hope).
Victim uses abuser-as-victim explanation to account for the abuse.Explanation: This represents an effort to see the abuser in a positive light so as to maintain the bond (since the bond provides the victim with the only hope of surviving).
The victim feels hatred for that part of him/her which the abuser said led to the abuse.Explanation: To improve chances of survival, the victim internalises the abuser's perspective, including the reasons given for the abuse.
The victim fears the abuser will come to get him/her, even if he is dead or in prison.Explanation: The victim knows the abuser is willing to "get" him/her because he has done so at least once before. The victim remains loyal in anticipation of his return.

********************************************************
The knowledge of CATHOLIC PREDATOR PRIESTS tied to BALTIMORE is an OPEN SECRET----this has been known and the fact all this information is surfacing as this NOSY NEIGHBOR ------KEELER------just passed away in 2017.  The Baltimore Sun is quite the far-right wing global banking FAKE NEWS media so the articles below contain FALSE FLAGS.

THE KEEPERS working to find justice for this one nun-----victim of Catholic priest no doubt have done a good job keeping this case active.  I will say this------THE NETWORK in Baltimore with open secret of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG is highly likely to include some or all of these members called THE KEEPERS. 

My question would be to THE KEEPERS------why not fight as hard against NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance and pornography as it is NON-CONTACT RAPE-----and leads to escalation to PHYSICAL SEXUAL ASSAULTS.



The Keepers - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org/wiki/


The_Keepers

The Keepers is a seven-episode American documentary web series that explores the unsolved murder of nun Sister Cathy Cesnik, who taught English and drama at Baltimore's Archbishop Keough High School, and her former students' belief that there was a cover-up by authorities after Cesnik suspected that a priest at the school, A. Joseph Maskell, was guilty of sexual abuse of students


Below we see A GRAND JURY IN PENNSYLVANIA handling a SEXUAL ASSAULT case this being a CATHOLIC PRIEST at the same time a university sports staff was also indicted for SEXUAL ABUSE under TITLE IX.  When looking for a court venue I will consider where courts have precedence in bringing complaints to court and CONVICTING.  So, GRAND JURY IN PA------MAYBE.



Keeler accused of bringing abusive priest to Baltimore archdiocese

Pamela Wood

Contact Reporter
The Baltimore Sun
August 14, 2018



An explosive grand jury report on child sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church in Pennsylvania has called into question the actions — or inaction — of the late Cardinal William H. Keeler, the former archbishop of Baltimore who was once hailed for his transparency in handling such cases.

Keeler is accused of allowing a priest who was accused of having sex with underage girls in Harrisburg to resume his ministry in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.


Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori called the “painful revelations” in the grand jury report “a cause for anger, disillusion and pain among many in our church.”
“These feelings toward the church must be met with more than prayers and promises,” Lori said in a statement. “They must also be met with action by any and all with responsibility for ensuring the safety of children and others in our care.”


Lori said the archdiocese would drop plans to name a new Catholic school in Keeler’s honor.


Keeler, who died in 2017 at age 86, led Baltimore’s Catholics from 1989 until 2007. Before that, he spent much of his ministry in Pennsylvania. He served as bishop of Harrisburg from 1984 until 1989.



The report from Pennsylvania’s Statewide Investigating Grand Jury, released Tuesday, detailed the alleged abuse of more than 1,000 children by hundreds of priests in six Pennsylvania dioceses — and the steps that senior church officials allegedly took to cover it up.

The grand jury said it believes the “real number” of abused children might be “in the thousands,” because some records were lost and some victims were afraid to come forward. The grand jury said more than 300 clergy committed the abuse over a period of decades, beginning in the mid-1950s.



Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said the two-year probe found a systematic coverup by senior church officials in Pennsylvania and at the Vatican.



“The coverup was sophisticated,” Shapiro told reporters in Harrisburg. “And all the while, shockingly, church leadership kept records of the abuse and the coverup. These documents, from the dioceses’ own ‘Secret Archives,’ formed the backbone of this investigation.”


Keeler, in his role as bishop of Harrisburg, was accused of failing to act in the case of two priests who abused children.


The grand jury found evidence that Keeler knew of allegations that the Rev. Arthur Long had had sex with underage girls, but allowed him to come to Baltimore in the early 1990s — where he was accused of “inappropriate behavior.”


Keeler was notified of the alleged abuse in 1987, according to the grand jury. He said he preferred to have Long’s religious order, the Jesuits, reassign Long.

“Keeler was informed that Long had admitted to the conduct,” the grand jury wrote. “In spite of such knowledge, Keeler, now in his capacity as Cardinal of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, returned Long to ministry in a Roman Catholic Archdiocese.”


The grand jury quoted from a 1995 church memo regarding Long in Baltimore in 1991 and 1992: “Shortly after his assignment, reports were again received of inappropriate behavior on his part.”


Long was removed from ministry in 1995.
The Archdiocese of Baltimore said Tuesday it couldn’t immediately provide information on the accusations against Long during his time here.


Archdiocese spokesman Sean Caine said in a statement that church officials were reviewing the grand jury report and their own files “to see what information we might have on Arthur Long, S.J., and any others mentioned in the report that might have had assignments in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.”



In another case, the Rev. Augustine Giella was reported to have abused multiple girls in the same family at one church, including collecting the girls’ urine and menstrual blood and ingesting it, the grand jury reported. The girls — now grown — testified about the alleged abuse in 2016.


The grand jury found that a high school teacher reported the abuse in 1987 and Keeler received an undated memo titled “Report on Gus Giella.”


Giella retired voluntarily in 1988.
“His criminal actions, and the criminal inaction of Keeler, resulted in continued victimization and trauma for the family of girls,” the grand jury wrote.
Both Giella and Long have since died.


Also Tuesday, a former altar boy sued the Diocese of Harrisburg, alleging that Keeler did not protect him from an abusive priest, the York Daily Record reported.
The former altar boy alleges that a now-defrocked priest “leered at, groped and sexually molested” him at a church in Harrisburg. He alleges that the priest was previously reported to Keeler for engaging in inappropriate behavior with boys.


The former altar boy, now an adult living in Maryland, filed the lawsuit as “John Doe.”
The revelations stand in contrast to Keeler’s reputation in Baltimore for transparency on the issue of abuse.
In 2002, Keeler released the names of 57 priests accused of sexual abuse in Baltimore since the 1930s. He also disclosed information about nearly $6 million the archdiocese had paid up to that point in settlements and other expenses related to abuse.


Keeler also publicly apologized to those who had been abused by priests. He said he regretted his decision in 1993 to return the Rev. Maurice Blackwell to his parish after an abuse allegation. Blackwell was shot in 2002 by a man who said he had been molested by Blackwell in 1993.


The archdiocese maintains an online list of accused priests. It has added 14 names since 2002.
Lori said he was “especially saddened and troubled” by Keeler’s “failures.”



Lori recalled Keeler’s 2002 letter on church abuse, which he said was “even more revealing” in light of the grand jury report.
“The simple, painful truth is that the Church did not go far enough to protect children from sexual abuse,” Keeler wrote in 2002. “I humbly ask forgiveness for my mistakes. Please pray for me so that I may better serve.”


Lori said that the grand jury report, on top of allegations of abuse by former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of Washington, “are rightly a cause for anger, disillusion and pain among many.”


“Try as we have, recent revelations have not only proven that there is more work to be done, but also have resulted in the loss of the precious trust of many of those we are called to serve,” Lori said.
Lori did not announce any new actions in response to the grand jury report, other than dropping Keeler’s name from the new school. The archdiocese is reviewing whether there is anything else named in Keeler’s honor that should be reconsidered, Caine said.



The archdiocese announced plans in April for the new school on the site of the former public Lexington Terrace Elementary School in Poppleton. The school, which is scheduled to open in 2020, is to serve up to 500 students from prekindergarten through eighth grade.


Lori said he has prioritized the “healing of survivors” and strengthening child abuse prevention in his six years in Baltimore, including an independent review board and a mediation program for abuse survivors.
But the archdiocese has sustained ongoing criticism over its handling of abuse allegations. Most recently, it has been criticized for how it investigated allegations of abuse involving the late Rev. A. Joseph Maskell, who was featured in the Netflix series “The Keepers.”



Maskell was accused of sexually abusing children, including at Archbishop Keough High School in Southwest Baltimore. “The Keepers” explored possible connections between abuse at Keough and the unsolved killing of Sister Cathy Cesnik, who taught there.


Maskell was never criminally charged and denied the abuse allegations before he died in 2001. Tens of thousands of people have signed an online petition asking the Archdiocese of Baltimore to release Maskell’s files to the public. The archdiocese has declined to release the files.

Survivor Calls For Baltimore Catholic Leaders To Release Files

Baltimore local WJZ TV NEWS


BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A Pennsylvania grand jury report released a 900-page report Tuesday, detailing decades of widespread sex abuse by priests.
The report said Baltimore’s longtime Catholic leader, the late Cardinal William Keeler failed to report crimes against children. The investigation took place in Pennsylvania and uncovered hundreds of priests linked to sex abuse cases.


The statute of limitations has run out on almost all of those crimes. But a survivor of sex abuse said the Archdiocese could begin to right past wrongs by opening their files on similar cases and coverups in Baltimore.

PLEASE DO NOT SETTLE FOR CIVIL AWARDS IN THESE CASES-----GO FOR CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS AS WELL----WE MUST HAVE LEGAL COURT PRECEDENCE OF CONVICTIONS IN THESE SEXUAL ASSAULT CRIMES WHETHER PHYSICAL OR NON-CONTACT NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG.


“Nothing can restore what was taken from me,” Liz Murphy, a survivor of sex abuse, said.
Liz Murphy said she is faithful and forgiving, and seeking change within the Catholic church, and the Archdiocese of Baltimore, decades after a teacher sexually abused Murphy and other students at the Catholic Community School in the 1970s.


While school administrators failed to report the crimes happening in classrooms, then teacher, and now convicted child rapist John Merzbacher is in prison serving four life sentences.


“Those of who worked and knew the Cardinal are struggling, the man we knew or thought we knew with the person we read of in this report,” said Sean Caine, a spokesman with the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
The report named the late Cardinal William Keeler as one of the men of God who was aware of the crimes and failed to report them. He instead shifted predator priests to new roles.


Exactly what Murphy said happened with the school administrators and religious leaders who knew that Merzbacher was attacking students.
She said she’s spent a lot of her life trying to make sure it does not happen again.
“We’re not people whose names are ever going to be engraved in stain glass windows or carved on cornerstones or have buildings named for us, but we will be the people who will be crying out from underneath the bricks and mortar that they built,” Murphy said.


For years, she wrote letters to Cardinal Keeler, finally meeting with the longtime Catholic leader after her rapist’s trial.
She said nothing came of it.


“They need to make amends, and to make amends you have to change your behavior and I don’t see that behavior changed,” Murphy said.
With the files cracked in Pennsylvania, she said she would like to see the same happen here, for the Archdiocese to bring any sins of the past, to the public eye.

“I said in here, is how can you claim so loudly your love for this thorn crown Jesus, and run so cowardly from the cross or hide it in a vault?” Murphy said. “Open up the vault. Open up the vault,”


The Vatican addressed the Pennsylvania investigation Thursday, describing the accusations as “criminally and morally reprehensible,”

Mayor Pugh’s mover got city-owned condo at bargain price

EXCLUSIVE: Politically-connected mover gets condominium at well below market rate. Pugh fails to abstain from BOE vote.

Shortly after moving Mayor Catherine Pugh into her new Ashburton home last summer, Allen P. Burrus was awarded a city-owned condominium at signifiantly under its appraised value.


Burrus gained title to unit 203 of the Hanlon Park Condominium through an agreement of sale authorized by the mayor and the Board of Estimates on September 26, 2018 – approximately two months after Allen & Son Moving & Storage moved the mayor into her new Ellamont Road house.


The mayor’s office has not responded to a request by The Brew for comment on the house move, including documentation showing that she paid the politically well-connected Burrus for the move. Burrus also has not responded to Brew inquiries.


The condo sale was approved by Pugh and three of four board members despite a sales price of $11,500 – or 28% below the unit’s $16,000 appraised value.


City rules require that board members abstain from voting on matters, especially financial matters, that involve friends, family, associates or other potential conflicts of interest.


The only board member who abstained was Comptroller Joan Pratt, who is in charge of disbursing surplus municipal real estate and also runs her own CPA firm.

VIDEO: The September 26, 2018 Board of Estimates meeting in which the condominium sale was approved. Comptroller Joan Pratt abstained. Mayor Catherine Pugh did not. (CharmTV)


Pratt said she abstained because she did accounting work for Burrus more than a decade ago. “It has been my practice to abstain from votes on anything that I may have been involved in personally or professionally,” she said.


City rules further require the BOE to obtain the best price for any city property undergoing sale.


A review of recent sales at the Hanlon Park Condominium, a well-kept brick building on Hilton Street and Liberty Heights Avenue, show prices of equivalent square-foot units from $40,000 to $52,319.

The unit purchased by Burrus is currently assessed at $41,800 by the Maryland Depart of Assessments and Taxation.


Estate Gave Condo to City


The condo unit had been donated to the city in June 2014 as part of a final estate disbursement. In September 2015, the City Council passed an ordinance approving the condo’s sale to the public.


It is not known whether Pratt’s office received prior bids on the property or whether it was ever offered for sale to the public.

The Brew has requested this information from the comptroller and the real estate department, which is run by Walter J. Horton.


[This story incorrectly stated that the Comptroller’s office failed to respond to this request. The Comptroller’s office had not been contacted. Since publication, that office has been queried and is working to respond to the request.]


Yesterday The Brew disclosed that Horton received a $500 campaign contribution from Burrus while running for a state delegate seat in the 41st District.


Horton lost in the June 2018 Democratic Party primary.
Water Damage Lowers PriceBy all measures, Horton’s department arranged the condo sale to Burrus in record time.


Usually, such sales take many weeks, if not months, to wind their way to the Board of Estimates, especially if they require approval by city’s property sales review committee.
This sale went from appraisal on August 30, 2018 to approval by the BOE on September 26, 2018.


However, during this time frame an unusual event took place, especially during the mild summer weather of last September:

“Subsequent to the appraisal, the property suffered structural deterioration due to extensive water damage,” the BOE was told by Horton’s office.


As a result, the sale of the unit was lowered from the appraised value of $16,000 to $11,500.
Pugh and the board approved the below-market sale, according to BOE records, not only because it “will promote economic development” by returning a property to the tax rolls, but will be “a specific benefit to the immediate community, as the purchaser intends to create an affordable rental unit upon completion of repairs.”


The condo, located four blocks from the mayor’s new residence, is in a building that is a block from Lake Ashburton.

‘The Keepers': Here’s What Has Happened Since the Netflix Series Debuted
Docuseries prompts further investigation into Father Joseph Maskell’s past, more victims speak out

Beatrice Verhoeven | July 24, 2017 @ 3:26 PM Netflix
Netflix’s “The Keepers” debuted two months ago, and since then, filmmaker Ryan White has seen positive developments in the case: More victims have spoken out and police are investigating further into Father Joseph Maskell’s past life.
“I am seeing that ‘The Keepers’ is having a positive impact, not just in the sense that more victims have come forward but it is also having a positive impact in showing people that they aren’t alone and that it’s possible to move forward and confront your painful past,” White told TheWrap during a recent interview.
There has also been a lot of movement in terms of investigating Maskell. “The Keepers” explores the murder of Sister Catherine Cesnik, who disappeared in November 1969 and whose body was discovered in January of 1970. The documentary investigates whether Maskell had Sister Cathy killed because she was about to expose him and others for sexual abusing teenage students at Archbishop Keough High School. Maskell died in 2001, and until his death, he had denied the allegations.
According to CNN, Father Maskell’s body was exhumed in February to see whether his DNA matched the DNA from the murder scene. Two days before “The Keepers” was released, Baltimore County Police found that the DNA profile did not

ee More“No one’s prevailing theory was that his DNA would be there,” White added, referring to many people’s idea that Maskell ordered the murder but himself did not orchestrate it. “It’s a huge outward sign that they are taking Maskell seriously as a suspect now, and it definitely begs the question why these tests weren’t done when he was alive and Jean Wehner [Jane Doe] was coming forward. He could’ve been arrested.”
According to White, the documentary prompted a lot of digging into Maskell’s past, specifically when he relocated to Ireland. According to the Baltimore Sun, Maskell worked as a psychologist amid his sexual abuse allegations in the United States. Whether he assessed any children or teens during his time in Ireland could not yet be determined by the agency doing the review.
“We were only concentrating in our documentary for the most part on certain parts of Maskell’s character but he had a long career before and after his time at Keough,” White said. “A predator doesn’t stop abusing so it’s been a sad truth that people from other sides of his career — and from Keough — have come out of the woodwork.”



Moreover, a few days after the documentary was released, the Baltimore Police Department launched an online form for people to report sexual offenses related to the docuseries.
“We have been contacted by victims from the past who want to report the sex offenses that occurred to them,” the department wrote on its Facebook page.
In July, a Change.org petition was launched and has since garnered over 42,000 signatures asking the Archdiocese of Baltimore to release information they have on Maskell. White told TheWrap he had asked for these documents during the making of the documentary, and is “dubious” whether they would even release them now.
Lastly, a few weeks before the series came out, Maryland extended the statute of limitations for victims of childhood sexual abuse, on which the senate voted unanimously. The previous statute of limitations provided that child sex abuse victims could only sue until age 25 — now, they can sue until the age of 38.

“It might be people doing the right thing for the wrong reasons but it’s good news for sexual abuse victims,” White added.
However, the major developments in the case since the documentary’s debut won’t change White’s mind about making a second season. Previously, he had said he wouldn’t want to make a follow-up season given how “painful” the process was for all the people involved.
“I’m still standing behind that, but I’m not going to say never,” White said about a second season. “There is a lot of information coming to us right now and there could be certain developments that I would document. But, at the moment, I’m not dead set on that. I’m still preoccupied with promoting the series and to make sure it has the largest impact that it can have. I’m still very happy where it ended. The series will end up shaking the branches in Baltimore and nationwide to have more information coming out that could lead to justice and murder being solved.”

As I prepare for my lawsuits against NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal black market pornography -----this is the court structure my cases will travel through to some extent.

I must consider COURT JURISDICTION in filing COMPLAINT of sexual predator illegal surveillance and knowing my local police and court structures are fast approaching inaccessibility due to bills being passed by Baltimore City Maryland Assembly pols and failure of our Maryland Attorney and Baltimore City Attorney to protect our pathways to justice-----I will work toward moving to another jurisdiction due to extreme bias against this case----if it is not accepted for GRAND JURY REVIEW.

We see below GRAND JURY is as old as COMMON LAW/AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT/MAGNA CARTA.  It is the #1 route all 99% WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown have for justice from CRIMINAL actions that harm.



The Grand Jury can be said to have "celebrated" its 800th birthday in 2015, because a precursor to the Grand Jury is defined in Article 61, the longest of the 63 articles of Magna Carta, also called Magna Carta Libertatum (Latin: "the Great Charter of Liberties") executed on 15 June 1215 by King John and by the Barons.

Below, is a comment board that indicates how hard it would be to get an IMPARTIAL, RANDOM SELECTED jury pool for these GRAND JURY structures.  The time a prospective jurist must spend on these cases has led to CITIZENS working hard to get OUT OF JURY DUTY, opening the door to hand-picked jury selection.  It takes only the planting of a couple of hand-picked jurists to make sure particular criminal cases will not make it through GRAND JURY.

Our average JOES AND JANES-----are likely those not able to commit to these court structures.

A JURY OF PEERS-----PASSING JUDGEMENT.


Baltimore City Grand Jury

Has anyone ever been called for Baltimore City Grand Jury?


Asking for a friend (really!). Apparently, it's a four month stint, 40 hours a week. You can only get out of it by citing severe financial hardship. Wouldn't that apply to almost anyone? I think that your employer has to keep your job, but they don't have to pay you. Not too many people could go for four months without a paycheck, and only $15/day from the city.



Thoughts and comments?


ACLU accuses Anne Arundel prosecutor, police of abusing grand jury process The ACLU of Maryland is accusing Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney Wes Adams and the Annapolis Police Department of abusing the grand jury process to obtain lists of Annapolis public housing residents after the housing authority director ceased providing them ...


Grand Jury Handbook
Your service as a
grand juror is important
to all of the citizens
of Maryland.

It is an
obligation and a
responsibility which
ensures equal treatment
under the law for all.


**********************************************************

Here is the problem for my case as I work towards private and class action lawsuits.  Not only has Baltimore and Maryland passed laws making it harder or impossible for ACTUAL EQUAL ACCESS to justice, but our MARYLAND BAR of lawyers tend to be grounded in the DARK AGES having no structure that allows those required EQUAL ACCESS to justice structures.  So, our Baltimore City Attorney's Office and our Maryland Attorney General's Office which should be that PROSECUTOR will not be allowing my case to hit GRAND JURY.

I shared last week how our Maryland Attorney General FROSH has stood against any SEXUAL HARASSMENT/SEXUAL ASSAULT lawsuits especially when they are aimed at INSTITUTIONS being held accountable for protecting the public and employees.

So, I will struggle with both attaining that PROSECUTOR in taking my case to GRAND JURY and with who will be chosen to sit on that GRAND JURY -----it only takes a few SELECTED jurors to STOP this lawsuit.




Maryland Federal Grand Jury

The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires that you be indicted before a grand jury before you can be charged with an “infamous” or capital crime.  This amendment has been interpreted to require an indictment before you are charged with any federal felony crime, unless you waive your right to indictment.  While a state prosecutor does not always have to convene a grand jury before charging you with a crime, a U.S. attorney does have to go through this process before you can be put on trial for any federal felony offense.  If you are the subject of a federal investigation, or you are arrested for a federal crime, you need to consult with a Maryland federal lawyer about the process and what your legal options are.


How Does a Federal Grand Jury Work?

Rule 6 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure establishes the requirements for grand jury proceedings. A federal grand jury is made up of between 16 and 23 jurors.  These jury members meet periodically, and when a U.S. Attorney wants to bring charges for a federal crime, the federal prosecutor must book time with the grand jury. At least 16 jurors must be present for the grand jury to convene, and a foreperson and a deputy foreperson must be appointed when a grand jury is impaneled.


The federal prosecutor will present evidence to a grand jury of the crime that was allegedly committed. The proceedings are less formal than a typical court trial and are kept 100 percent confidential in order to allow witnesses to speak freely and to protect the reputation of a defendant who is not indicted.



Typical rules of evidence don’t apply in a grand jury proceeding. Grand juries can subpoena physical evidence, such as videotapes, relevant e-mails and other documents, and guns or weapons allegedly used in the commission of a crime. Witnesses may also be subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury.  DEA agents, FBI agents, and other federal investigators or law enforcement officers frequently testify before a grand jury, as do eyewitnesses.  Witnesses are not allowed to bring an attorney into the grand jury room but can have a federal lawyer present in the hallway whom they can confer with.


Typically, only a prosecutor is present at a grand jury proceeding and the grand jury proceedings are even kept secret from the defendant.  A defendant whom the grand jury was convened to indict may sometimes have the opportunity to testify but is not required to do so. If a defendant testifies at a grand jury proceeding, the defense attorney is not allowed to ask questions. The prosecutor can interrogate the defendant, and the grand jury can submit questions for the prosecutor to ask.



Legal instructions are read to the jurors at the end of the proceedings, and the jury can vote to indict or not.  The decision to indict does not need to be unanimous; only 12 jurors must vote to indict. If the jury chooses to indict, the indictment is called a “true bill.”


What Does the Federal Grand Jury Process Mean for You?


The federal grand jury process can have a huge impact on your life, because an indictment means that a federal case against you can proceed to criminal trial. Unfortunately, you have little actual ability to influence the outcome of the grand jury proceedings, since only a prosecutor can present evidence, and you may not know what information is presented during grand jury proceedings.




*****************************************************************

This article was written by a citizen of Baltimore who may not have same political leanings I do but we both support this GRAND JURY issue.  This shows how our Baltimore City Maryland Assembly pols---far-right wing, global banking 5% freemason/Greek player pols ------have been MOVING FORWARD laws to DISMANTLE this EQUAL ACCESS FOR ALL to GRAND JURY-------we say the goals of global banking 1% OLD WORLD KINGS is to eliminate even MAGNA CARTA----but the goal in short term seeks to end AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT---I AM MAN COMMON LAW------tied to guaranteed access to GRAND JURY for redressing CRIMINAL harm against us.

These are of course the same BALTIMORE POLITICAL MACHINES that I shout out against ---and who like to let me know they are busy being SEXUAL PREDATORS---watching illegal streaming video taken all around Baltimore and including my living space.

So, how will I get this case to GRAND JURY------EXTREME BIAS is legal standing for CHANGE OF JURISDICTION whether in US courts or if case is taken to INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.


This article does a good job outlining how GRAND JURY should work----how Baltimore and Maryland passed laws to make sure it DOES NOT WORK------and even Maryland has legal precendence to assuring 99% of WE THE CITIZENS OF MARYLAND will access this GRAND JURY.


'The Court opinioned that:


 “It is the opinion of this Court that every citizen has a right to offer to the grand jury violations of the criminal law. This does not mean that an individual member of that body may be approached. The citizen should exhaust his remedy before the magistrate and the State’s Attorney, as was done in the instant case, and if relief cannot be had there, he then has the right to ask the foreman of the grand jury for permission to appear before that body.”'

Baltimore's politicians just keep voting statute into place which is illegal and unconstitutional and can and will be VOIDED.

I am being told by police ---WHY DON'T YOU GO TO 'PEOPLE'S COURT'-----for crimes against humanity sexual predatory RICO RACKETEERING case tied to black market pornography and illegal surveillance.



What is the grand Jury?
How we lost access to it and what it means to everyone 


The grand jury has been described as the greatest instrument of freedom known to our form of government and as a bulwark against oppression. It is the last effective tool that the citizen has to hold their government officials accountable for corrupt actions undertaken in the performance of their duties.


"The grand jury is an accusing body, and not a judicial tribunal; and it acts upon knowledge possessed by its members from any source, whether from witnesses brought before it, or from information gained before its sessions. `In this state they have plenary inquisitorial powers, and may lawfully themselves, and upon their own motion, originate charges against offenders, though no preliminary proceedings have been had before a magistrate, and though neither the court nor the state's attorney has laid the matter before them.' Blaney v. State, 74 Md. 153, 21 A. 547, 548; In re Grand Jury Report, 152 Md. 616, 137 A. 370. And their oath requires them to present all things truly as they come to their knowledge, according to the best of their understanding." Id. at 566.




What happened to Baltimore?


The Maryland General Assembly has perpetrated a fraud on the people of Baltimore City by denying us access to the grand jury. Senate Bill 374, introduced by Senator Lisa Gladden in 2011, has effectively been the tool that they use to accomplish this illegal scheme and it is a law that passed without opposition from any other representative in the State. When the State's Atorney refuses to bring charges against corrupt officials and the City Police Department won't do their job and arrest violators of the law, where else can the people turn? Not to the grand jury anymore. 


Who controls it?

In Maryland, the State's Attorney has full discretion over the cases that are presented to the grand jury but that does not mean that is the last word on it. As aforementioned, the People can bring charges to the grand jury by simply knocking on the door and requesting the foreperson for permission to present a matter before the entire panel.


How?


Senate Bill 374 (2011) in the General Assembly eliminated access to the grand jury in just Baltimore City. A provision in the law, for Baltimore City only, had one addtional requirement of the grand jury. That was to do an investigation that no other jurisdiction required them to do, a separate investigation into anything the judge wanted them to. Our lawmakers used that to ban our total access and the courts are gladly helping them.


What is the court's role in it?


The grand jury meets in the courthouse and the administrative judge for the circuit court is responsible for providing security for the members of the panel. This is not just for their safety but to prevent them from being unduly influenced or threatened relating to their deliberations and not returning indictments, as they should. For this reason, you must be authorized to be in the part of the building where the grand jury meets. If not, you will be arrested for trespassing. In order to knock on the door and request the foreperson of the grand jury for permission to present your complaint, you have to gain that access from a judge. Due to the change in the law, the Baltimore City Circuit Court is using it to deny all access to the grand jury. Not only do you have to request permission to access the grand jury, you have to inform the judge of the reason why you need to approach them. Of course, your request will be denied if it alleges any criminal violations of the law that are committed by public officials. This allows their corruption to continue without any oversight at all. This lack of oversight only empowers officials to commit more corrupt acts.



In the wake of so many instances wherein City officials have demonstrated a deliberate indifference to resolving issues that have resulted in people suffering grievous losses of property and lives due to their actions, the right to approach the grand jury is of great importance. As the State’s Attorney has discretion over whether or not the office wants to present those charges to the grand jury on behalf of the State, it is not the last word on the matter. Brack v. Wells has been consistently upheld by the Court of Appeals and as retired Chief Judge Bell for that Court recently reaffirmed, “It is the opinion of this Court that every citizen has a right to offer to the grand jury violations of the criminal law. This does not mean that an individual member of that body may be approached. The citizen should exhaust his remedy before the magistrate and the State’s Attorney…and if relief cannot be had there, he then has the right to ask the foreman of the grand jury for permission to appear before that body.”  With this law as it stands today, a judge has now been put in place to be a further obstacle to gaining that access now.   


I, along with two other individuals, previously requested permission of the Administrative Judge for the Circuit Court, the Honorable Marcella Holland, for authorization to approach the Grand Jury with allegations relating to corrupt acts committed by our elected and appointed officials, in an attempt to commence an investigation into those charges. That request was submitted on September 20, 2013. Judge Holland retired without taking any action on the request. A second request for authorization was requested of the Hon. Judge W. Michel Pierson, the current Circuit Administrative Judge for the Baltimore City Circuit Court. As of this date, no authorization has been received regarding this request. I have been waiting for approximately 2 years for this authorization.


My complaint deals with criminal violations of Maryland law and as the Court has ruled in Brack v. Wells 184 Md. 86 (1944), that Maryland citizens have the common law right to approach a grand jury to make complaints, this law seems clear, straightforward, and is sufficiently detailed. The Court opinioned that:


 “It is the opinion of this Court that every citizen has a right to offer to the grand jury violations of the criminal law. This does not mean that an individual member of that body may be approached. The citizen should exhaust his remedy before the magistrate and the State’s Attorney, as was done in the instant case, and if relief cannot be had there, he then has the right to ask the foreman of the grand jury for permission to appear before that body.”


I have exhausted the remedies, as provided for in the aforementioned cited case. On June 25, 2013, I submitted a complaint to a Court Commissioner who informed me that the complaint would be forwarded to the State’s Attorney. The Commissioner did not indicate whether or not he found that probable cause existed and I was told that he was deferring that question to the State’s Attorney for a determination. As of this date, I have received no correspondence from the State’s Attorney on the matter. I have received a certified mail receipt indicating that the Office of the State’s Attorney had received my request for a status update. I can only assume that because that office did not respond to my request for an update, as to whether or not the State’s Attorney’s Office was going to file the appropriate charges against the defendants, they do not intend to file them.

I am aware that the secrecy of the grand jury process is strictly adhered to and, as well it should appropriately be. In Coblentz v. State, 164 Md. 558, 166 A. 45 (1933), the issue arose because of the presence in the grand jury room of an unauthorized person, an attorney who represented certain plaintiffs in civil litigation against the banking institution of which the defendant was president. The president was accused of accepting a deposit when the institution was, to his knowledge, insolvent. It was pointed out that although then Code (1924) Art. 10, § 27 permitted a circuit court to appoint an attorney to take the place of a State's attorney when necessary because of absence, sickness, resignation or death of the State's attorney, that "section [could] not be involved in the [Coblentz] case, because there was no absence, death, or disability of the state's attorney regularly serving, and it [did] not fit the description of the order passed." It goes without saying that the presence of an unauthorized person in the grand jury room could betray the secrecy of the proceeding. In the course of the opinion Chief Judge Bond made certain observations for the Court relative to the functions of the grand jury:


 

Sheriff John Anderson

Captain Ruebottom
Captain Hughes
Judge W. Michel Pierson
Judge Timothy Doory


The action presented by Senate Bill 374 sought to eliminate a provision in the law for Baltimore City because they had one addtional requirement of the grand jury and that was to do an investigation that no other jurisdiction required them to do and that was to perform a separate investigation into anything the judge wanted them to. In 2011, the grand jury investigated the bias in the media. Click here for a link to the report.

And their oath requires them to present all things truly as they come to their knowledge, according to the best of their understanding." Id. at 566. 


The Maryland General Assembly has perpetrated a fraud on the people of Baltimore City by denying us access to the grand jury. Senate Bill 374, introduced by Senator Lisa Gladden in 2011, has effectively been the tool that they use to accomplish this illegal scheme and it is a law that passed without opposition from any other representative in the State. When the State's Atorney refuses to bring charges against corrupt officials and the City Police Department won't do their job and arrest violators of the law, where else can the people turn? Not to the grand jury anymore. 


In Maryland, the State's Attorney has full discretion over the cases that are presented to the grand jury but that does not mean that is the last word on it. As aforementioned, the People can bring charges to the grand jury by simply knocking on the door and requesting the foreperson for permission to present a matter before the entire panel.

Senate Bill 374 (2011) in the General Assembly eliminated access to the grand jury in just Baltimore City. A provision in the law, for Baltimore City only, had one addtional requirement of the grand jury. That was to do an investigation that no other jurisdiction required them to do, a separate investigation into anything the judge wanted them to. Our lawmakers used that to ban our total access and the courts are gladly helping them.


It is my intent to uphold the integrity of the grand jury process. In furtherance of that, it is my belief that the delays demonstrated by officers of the Circuit Court in failing to authorize requests in a timely manner, is tantamount to obstruction of justice.

The grand jury meets in the courthouse and the administrative judge for the circuit court is responsible for providing security for the members of the panel. This is not just for their safety but to prevent them from being unduly influenced or threatened relating to their deliberations and not returning indictments, as they should. For this reason, you must be authorized to be in the part of the building where the grand jury meets. If not, you will be arrested for trespassing. In order to knock on the door and request the foreperson of the grand jury for permission to present your complaint, you have to gain that access from a judge. Due to the change in the law, the Baltimore City Circuit Court is using it to deny all access to the grand jury. Not only do you have to request permission to access the grand jury, you have to inform the judge of the reason why you need to approach them. Of course, your request will be denied if it alleges any criminal violations of the law that are committed by public officials. This allows their corruption to continue without any oversight at all. This lack of oversight only empowers officials to commit more corrupt acts.

I already anticipate the inability to seek justice through my local GRAND JURY because I cannot even get POLICE DEPARTMENT to acknowledge any crimes of illegal hacking capture producing images of illegal surveillance and pornography---instead all pathways have made it impossible for me to achieve a SAFE APARTMENT AND BUILDING filled with WELL-BEING.

I will be educating and seeking court legal standings and precedence which will take me out of this local jurisdiction looking at both US Federal court and International Criminal Court.


Using one venue to possibly push another-------MAYBE.


What is Court Jurisdiction?


When a suit is filed in a particular court, it must be determined whether that court has authority to hear the case. Usually, this authority is granted by statute, constitution, or a political leader in the country in which the court sits. A court may only adjudicate cases if it has authorization to do so. The term "court jurisdiction" refers to the power of a court to oversee a certain case and to issue any rulings or orders associated with the case.




Deciding whether a court has been empowered to hear a case often involves analyzing whether it has personal or subject matter jurisdiction. Personal, or personam, court jurisdiction is present when a court has authority to adjudicate a case involving certain people or entities. It’s often established when a plaintiff or defendant has a significant connection to the court territory. Connections may include living in or doing business in the territory as well as engaging in a transaction or being part of a controversy that occurred within the territory.


When a court has been empowered to hear the particular type of issue at hand, subject matter jurisdiction exists. For instance, a family law court may be authorized to oversee proceedings relating to child custody, divorce, child support payments, and the like. If a prosecutor tried to bring a criminal court trial before a family law judge, subject matter jurisdiction may not exist. The criminal case would probably need to be brought in front of a criminal court with power to render a decision in the case. It’s possible for two or more courts to have court jurisdiction in one case, a phenomenon known as concurrent jurisdiction.



Court jurisdiction can also be divided into appellate and original jurisdiction. Appellate jurisdiction is granted to superior courts that are set up for the purpose of correcting errors made in lower courts. Their review is generally limited to examining cases for mistakes made by lower courts.


On the other hand, courts with original jurisdiction have been given the power to hear the case in the first place. These courts are often categorized as either general or special courts. A special court has been given authority to hear specific kinds of cases. For instance, a tax court may be designated to hear tax issues and a bankruptcy court may be delegated authority to hear bankruptcy issues. A court with general jurisdiction is a trial court that has been empowered to hear any type of case that isn’t reserved for a special court.

6 of your questions about grand juries, answered


12/05/14 05:21 PM--Updated 12/05/14 06:52 PM

 

When and why does a case go to a grand jury?


When a felony is committed, here is what can happen:



1.  Without an arrest (when you do not physically have the perpetrator or know who he or she is) evidence can be presented​ to a grand jury. The indictment is called a “no arrest indictment,” which forms the basis of an arrest warrant, so when the suspect is found and arrested he or she has already been indicted.
2.  ​After a person is arrested, the case is immediately – within a week, unless time is waived – presented to a grand jury.
3.  After a person is arrested, he or she is not held in jail because the district attorney is investigating and unsure whether the case will be presented to a grand jury, or reduced to a misdemeanor, and a plea offer may be made thereby waiving a grand jury, or the case will be dismissed.
4.  There is no arrest, you know who the perpetrator is and the case is presented to a grand jury. An arrest only occurs if a grand jury indicts.
In the cases of Ferguson and Staten Island, both went to a grand jury because that is standard practice when a case involves a police officer. It’s not the law, just the practice. What is commonly said is that “no one would ever be a police officer if it was otherwise.” I believe these cases went to a grand jury because the accused was a police officer, had qualified immunity and the incident occurred while the police officer was on duty.



What are the requirements for a grand jury to decide to indict someone?

The only requirement is that probable cause exists to support criminal charges against the accused person. In essence, the grand juror must feel there is enough evidence against the person to proceed to trial. It is a very low standard. You could have one witness, a victim, come in and testify without any corroborating physical evidence and get ​an indictment. That is rare but it does occur in some cases of sexual assault with victims who don’t approach authorities until many years after an incident.

This week's DEPOSITION over the weekend NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG activities.  I want to discuss mainly FEEDBACK chatter from THE NETWORK as it is tied to other PUBLIC POLICY------NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG as we state are illegal black market streaming surveillance and PORN with tiered levels of STAFF-----but ultimately this is a global banking/global corporate black market structure.

'Operating under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the FHA sets rules for the loans it insures'.

I discussed last week how FEEDBACK says that NOSY NEIGHBOR if he/she has to move will simply give back the house now in NOSY'S name-------and the PORNOGRAPHY NETWORK will simply put NOSY in another house.  This ties DIRECTLY to subprime mortgage loan frauds full of UNQUALIFIED HOMEOWNERS discussed after 2008 economic crash from MASSIVE BANKING FRAUDS using our FEDERAL HOUSING AGENCY and MERS handing temporary house loans that end in few years FLIPPING back to MORTGAGE LOAN LENDER.

OBAMA-era raised FHA MORTGAGE LOANS to almost $700,000 to destablize MIDDLE-CLASS communities with all this house flipping AND top on list of UNQUALIFIED HOMEOWNERS are --------NOSY NEIGHBORS.

IN MY COMMUNITY THE 5% FREEMASON/GREEK REAL ESTATE PLAYERS KNOW TO WHOM THEY ARE SELLING THESE PROPERTIES WHICH BECOME NOSY NEIGHBOR HACKING AND ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE AND PORN.


What happens when I send NOSY NEIGHBORS' to THE BIG HOUSE? 

That house will go back to the HOSTING SERVER as LENDER for mortgage.  This is why those made victims of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG---whether building owners or tenets MUST take criminal actions CLASS ACTIONS----RICO RACKEERING ----INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT ------for what is basically a ABU GHRAIB-style structure.



The SUBPRIME MORTGAGE LOAN FRAUDS from CLINTON/BUSH still MOVING FORWARD OBAMA/TRUMP being part of NOSY NEIGHBOR illegal surveillance and PORNOGRAPHY network-----BEN CARSON appointed by TRUMP to FHA------here in Baltimore we have BALTIMORE HOUSING AUTHORITY running these FRAUDS---tied to NOSY NEIGHBOR NETWORK.

FHA Loan Requirements in 2018: How to Qualify for an FHA Loan

Learn about FHA loan income requirements before buying a home.


By Daria Uhlig April 5, 2018


The Federal Housing Administration’s mortgage insurance program encourages lenders to make home loans to creditworthy buyers with a modest income or blemished credit. Operating under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the FHA sets rules for the loans it insures. Keep reading to learn about FHA loan requirements for 2018 and find out how to qualify.


What Is an FHA Loan?

An FHA loan is a home loan issued by an FHA-approved lender and insured by the FHA. The insurance reimburses the lender if the buyer defaults on the loan, which reduces the lender’s risk. Read on to learn about FHA loan qualifications.



Related: How to Get an FHA Loan in 5 Easy Steps



2018 FHA Loan Requirements

You can use an FHA loan to purchase a one- to four-family home, a condominium or an eligible manufactured home. The home must be your principal residence. For 2018 loan requirements include the following:



  1. Residency: FHA borrowers must be permanent residents with Social Security numbers.
  2. Down Payment: An FHA loan requires the borrower to have a down payment of at least 3.5 percent of the home’s purchase price.
  3. Credit Score: The 3.5 percent down payment requirement applies to borrowers with credit scores of at least 580. You’ll need at least 10 percent down if your credit score is 500 to 579. Borrowers with scores below 500 typically don’t qualify for FHA loans.
  4. Buyer Income: There is no minimum FHA loan income requirement or maximum income limit, but you will need at least a two-year work history in the same line of work or for the same employer.
  5. Debt-to-Income Ratio: Your home payment, including your mortgage loan, homeowners association fees, property tax and homeowners insurance, can’t total more than 31 percent of your gross income in most cases. Total debt payments, including your home payment, credit cards and other loans, typically can’t total more than 43 percent of your gross income. The FHA makes some exceptions for borrowers with cash reserves and no debt if their credit scores are at least 580.
  6. Loan Limits: The FHA loan limit depends on whether the home is in a low-cost or high-cost area. The FHA loan limits 2018 for a single-family home are $294,515 in a low-cost area and $679,560 in a high-cost area is $679,650. The maximum for a single-family home in Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. territories is $1,009,475.
  7. Mortgage Insurance: Mortgage insurance is required for an FHA loan. The 2018 premium for a 30-year loan is 1.75 percent of the loan amount up front, plus 0.8 percent to 1.05 percent annually, depending on your down payment amount. You can pay the upfront premium at closing or roll it into your loan. Premiums expire automatically after 11 years on 30-year loans with down payments of 10 percent or more, but you’ll pay the premium for the duration of the loan if your down payment is less than 10 percent.
  8. Home Appraisal: Your FHA lender will order an FHA appraisal to make sure the home meets the agency’s standards. Whereas a typical appraisal determines a home’s market value, the FHA appraisal also verifies that the home is safe and secure. The FHA appraiser will check for defects, and if necessary, make their repair a condition for approving the loan.
  9. Bankruptcy or Foreclosure: Following a bankruptcy, you must wait at least two years after the bankruptcy is discharged from your record before applying for an FHA loan. In the case of a foreclosure or short sale, the FHA requires you to wait at least three years after the property is transferred out of your name.
Tips for Qualifying for an FHA Loan

Similar to the qualifying process for other mortgage loans, an FHA-approved lender will look at your creditworthiness and your ability to repay the loan, and then determine whether the home qualifies for FHA backing. Consider the following steps before you apply for an FHA loan.

The second issue heard in FEEDBACK this weekend is tied to recruiting GLOBAL 99% LABOR POOL to US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES to build density preparing for global enslavement via global corporate campuses/factories.

The structure that flips houses and moves people in and out of communities in US CITIES deemed FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES come with a recruitment tool making it appear that BEING A NOSY NEIGHBOR is EMPOWERING-------come to US cities to be that illegal streaming video ABU GHRAIB-style surveillance and pornography making a 99% WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown APPEAR to be WORKERS/CONTROLLED by SEXUAL PREDATORS who are NOSY NEIGHBORS.  Indeed, many of new training for this BLACK MARKET/BLACK WEB PORNOGRAPHY structure has a growing number of new to US 99% of immigrants.

While I educate as to how NOSY NEIGHBORS are victims themselves---hit twice in these global banking black market schemes-----where NOSIES first must pay all costs of having home-----mortgage principle vs interest----that principle never met.  That property reverts back to 'LENDER' ----second, these NOSIES are victims of being HIT as streaming porn themselves whether they admit or not-----'THEY AREN'T HURTING ME' say NOSY NEIGHBORS.

Even as these sexual predator black market structures are designed to enslave-----to bring US 99% WE THE PEOPLE to feeling like we are in DARK AGES----DEEP, DEEP, REALLY STATE------the global banking structure of having PEOPLE thinking they are starting a business ---when they end just being enslaved and losing any wealth gains.

REMEMBER, GLOBAL MILITARY CORPORATIONS CACI---TITAN BOTH WERE HELD ACCOUNTABLE UNDER LAW FOR BEING THE SOURCE OF STAFF AT ABU GHRAIB----THE TORTURERS.

While NOSIES think they are BUSINESS PEOPLE---they are criminal black market cartel member just as drug or gun runners. 
Some of our new to US immigrants captured to becoming NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG---may make some money but it will soon be GONE WITH THE WIND.



Human trafficking around BWI airport is a 'transient crime'
KATE YOON kyoon@capgaznews.com

Jan 4, 2014



A hotel near an international airport makes an ideal setting for human sex trafficking, said Amanda Grant, deputy communications director of Baltimore-based ministry The Samaritan Women.



A pimp can fly in women forced to prostitute themselves and find customers for the night online.
"'And if I find out anybody's tipped off the police, I can set them on a plane and we'll leave,'" Grant said, expressing what traffickers would say.


Hotels surrounding the BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport and a truck stop in the Howard County portion of Jessup are hot spots of human trafficking around Anne Arundel County, Grant said.


A detective with the Anne Arundel County Police Department, who asked not to be named, said trafficking and prostitution "flourishes" around the hotels at the BWI Hotel District.
That's because forced prostitution is a very "transient crime," Grant said.



"It makes it easier for them to transport girls from state to state," the detective said.
In December, six men, including two from this county, were arrested by Anne Arundel County police in a prostitution sting operation at the Extended Stay America hotel in Linthicum.


Nine men were arrested in a similar operation in Hanover hotels in November.
Human trafficking - "modern day slavery plain and simple," she said - includes any forced action whether it be sex, labor or organ harvesting.

"Nobody wants to think that the salon underneath the yoga studio is a front for a brothel. 'This is a nice suburban area, nothing like that will ever happen here,'" Grant said.
In October, two women were arrested at a Glen Burnie home massage parlor police say was a front for prostitution.



"Anne Arundel County has a lot of different contributing factors that really fuel the flames."
Not only does the airport and truck stop provide easy getaways, but this county's affluent, and often naive, residents are a target for traffickers, she said.


Police are beginning to target those seeking prostitutes, rather than the prostitutes themselves. Police use a variety of investigative methods, including scanning websites known for providing escort services.
"That's basic economics. Once demand is gone, supply disappears," Grant said.



As of Oct. 1, prosecuted traffickers not only face jail time, but police can seize any property used for the purposes of trafficking as an additional penalty.
The Anne Arundel County detective said there is a difference between prostitution and human trafficking, but those forced into prostitution are automatically considered victims by county police.



But Grant said human trafficking laws are still too lax, and a "safe harbor" law that protects prostitutes under 18 is not yet implemented at the state level.
"Talk to your lawmakers and ask why aren't we protecting our children?" she said. "Stop referring to this is a victimless crime."
A key to stopping human trafficking is also educating people about the issue, she said.



Jeanne Allert, founder and executive director of The Samaritan Women, will give a presentation about the local issue at Grace Pointe Church of the Nazarene on Saturday morning.
Church member Beverly Russell said she attended a fundraiser for The Samaritan Women last year and since then has wanted the organization to talk to her church and other community members.
"I hadn't even known that this was what the meeting was going to be about when I was invited," Russell said.




She said she knew about the purses they were selling to raise money for a group home for survivors of human trafficking.
No one told her about the broken heart.
"But I was very glad to have been there," she said.
The Samaritan Women's group home in Catonsville currently houses 14 women, some from Anne Arundel County, who were once involved in forced prostitution.
But there are no such facilities for victims of human trafficking in Anne Arundel County, according to the Maryland Rescue and Restore Coalition, a ministry extension of The Samaritan Women. In fact, the Catonsville home is the only long-term care facility of its kind in seven surrounding states, Grant said.



Eleven to 13 years old is actually the average age range for a girl involved in forced prostitution, Grant said.
"The majority we deal with is between 18 and 22 (years old)," the Anne Arundel County detective said.

But county police have recovered several underage girls involved in prostitution - the youngest, an 11-year-old girl, about a year and a half ago.
"Most people see prostitutes and think, 'Oh, she's a whore, she made her choices. Clearly she wants it.' But from what I've seen, somewhere along the road they were forced or tricked into it."



People don't ask about the 12-year-old girl a prostitute used to be before she was influenced by the wrong man, Grant said.
"No girl gets up and says, 'I think I'll sell my body today.'"
"These girls live like this and don't know there's a way out," Russell said as she suddenly choked up in tears. "I think of my grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and it's scary and something needs to be done to help."

The FEEDBACK lately is tied to how NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG keeps the captured victims of illegal surveillance, whether BUILDING OWNERS or TENETS constantly trying to get RID OF THAT ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE CAMERA/MICROPHONE spending more and more of their disposable income to so.  This is tied to global banking 1% MOVING FORWARD the KILLING of US quality of life----breaking apart our civil society-------NOSIES AND THE GANG think being civilized is for LOSERS.

NOSIES next to me constantly chattering about MY BANK ACCOUNT ---how much I do or do not have-----how I have spent this or that amount to FIGHT BACK  with structures covering devices ---removing devices----buying device DETECTORS-----which does indeed add up====as I fight to have a SAFE living space with WELL-BEING.

What NOSIES like to call a 'HOLE' ----I have a studio apartment which is BEAUTIFUL for me if not for ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE CAPTURE by NOSY NEIGHBORS.  They say they are WINNING because they have houses---while I live in a HOLE.  Building owners captured by NOSIES AND THE GANG also losing lots of WEALTH EQUITY -------trying to fix damage to buildings-----losing in energy/BGE costs-----losing with constant lose of tenets because NOSIES force 'used' tenets out every year.  All that moving wear and tear on buildings.

FEEDBACK CONSTANTLY REFERRING TO PEOPLE AND WHO MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE IN THEIR BANK ACCOUNT-----ATM SURVEILLANCE GIVING ALL THAT INFO.



All this IS ORCHESTRATED-----the MASTER PLAN from REAGAN/CLINTON era to bring US to colonial DARK AGES status these few decades of ROBBER BARON sacking, looting, raping, and pillaging.

The end of the middle class: Why prosperity is failing in America


Sky-high rent, second jobs, and wealth-worshipping 1% TV shows—journalist Alissa Quart explains how the American dream became a dystopia, and why it's so hard for middle-class Americans to get by.

'Middle class' doesn't mean what it used to. Owning a home, two cars, and having a summer vacation to look forward to is a dream that's no longer possible for a growing percentage of American families. So what's changed? That safe and stable class has become shaky as unions collapsed, the gig economy surged, and wealth concentrated in the hands of the top 1%, the knock-on effects of which include sky-high housing prices, people working second jobs, and a cultural shift marked by 'one-percent' TV shows (and presidents). Alissa Quart, executive editor of the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, explains how the American dream became a dystopia, and why it's so hard for middle-class Americans to get by. Alissa Quart is the author of Squeezed: Why Our Families Can't Afford America



Alissa Quart: So, we used to think of the middle class as this safe category, it was 40-hour work weeks, pensions, people worked who were teachers, professors, lawyers even. And now it’s a shakier category and that’s why I called it the “middle precariat,” as in precarious.


Now to be middle class you might not be able to have a summer holiday. You might not be able to own your home. You certainly wouldn’t have two cars. What interests me is also we have this idea of the middle class as this solid thing, and now it’s a shaky thing.



We also have this idea in the middle of the 20th century of it as a hum-drum boring thing that we wanted to escape, kind of like Revolutionary Road, Richard Yates; and now it’s everybody just wants to get into it, into the American dream of the middle class that’s now so unstable.


So one of the things that happened was unions weakened. It used to be that 30 percent of employees were in unions in the '60s, and now it’s seven percent in the private sector, and that’s a pretty huge drop-off. And at the same time you’re seeing a lot of workforce become gig-ified or turned into freelance contingent, et cetera, not stable, not with healthcare, not with the promise of security and long-term employment.



There are other reasons why the middle class has been under siege. One is the concentration of wealth. Since 1997 the income of the top one percent has grown 20 times the rest of us.



They’re an “ownership class” so they tend to own many of the corporations that are, say, creating the Uber economy, are hiring people to drive part-time or the companies that employee people at [odd] hours, which means that they can’t take care of their children, hours in the middle of the night or odd hours in the early morning, as I write about that in my book.


So that kind of wealth concentration also empowers people to have multiple addresses and to not really invest in their neighborhoods. The fact that they’re able to pay so much more than the rest of us for houses and apartments raises the rents and the cost of homeownership astronomically in fashionable cities.



Another one was 'one-percent TV', which describes people, including myself, who watch shows like Billions or Downtown Abbey or even Mad Men that sort of extol the wealthiest kind of ethically challenged wealthy people.


There’s something about one-percent television that I find pretty harmful in that we are asked to identify—and we do identify—with the very richest in this country rather than middle-class people or struggling people. And that does show our ethical problems—in Klieg lights, as it were.



And I think one of the things that one-percent television does is it makes a case for the deserving ultra-rich. Like these are people who are brilliant or talented like a show like Empire with the hip-hop mogul, they could have terrible, terrible values, “but they work hard,” and they have some kind of genius so they “deserve” to have this excess and this wealth and be drinking champagne out of flutes.



A lot of reality television shows work on the same principle. Of course, what exactly they’re doing that makes them deserving is always questionable, but the shows are making an argument that yes, they are the deserving ultra-rich.


And in fact our president, I think, is very much a product of one-percent television if we think about The Apprentice, which I think started in 2004, and that was sort of venerating this kind of empty wealth and harsh edicts to employees, “You’re fired!” and that in itself was the beginning of venerating that wealth without any criticism on reality television.



So my book is very much about a divided society where we’re just not in touch with one another. And one of the drivers of that is something I don’t really write about but I work on in the organization I run called The Economic Hardship Reporting Project and that’s spatial inequality, which is that people in cities and in rural areas and all kinds of places are very divided from each other by class, that it’s very stratified, and so you’re very unlikely now to run into people from different walks of life in big cities. You’re far less likely than you were in the past.



I’m optimistic in certain ways because I’ve started having conversations with people, partially around the book about self-blame, about them saying to themselves “what’s wrong with me” and feeling stigmatized.



And I feel like if this book achieves anything or these conversations achieve anything it’s de-shaming people scrambling to stay in the middle class, say “it’s not your fault; this is happening to other people.”



The job numbers may look like they’re up but first of all they often speak to how many jobs people are having, multiple jobs, which is not a great state of affairs for a lot of people. People now have more jobs. Each person has more jobs than they did in 2016 like individuals; it’s up by two percent or something like that so it’s substantial.


You can be looking at these job announcements and you could be thinking what’s wrong with me? Why can’t I figure it out? Why can’t I get that second or third gig? But the point is, why should we have to have all the side hustles? Why should we have to have second acts then we’re 42?


And so I’m optimistic that the conversations people could have can start to bring about self-awareness, solidarity, a better sense of themselves.


And I’ve already heard from people saying “I’ve read your book and it said ‘no stigma,’ and I told my husband when he couldn’t get his second assignment as a freelancer—his second job, not his first job—‘no stigma.’” And to me that could be just, at least, instead of a gloomy revolution, which as I write, kind of an emotional mini revolution where people talk more honestly about their situation.

'Middle class' doesn't mean what it used to. Owning a home, two cars, and having a summer vacation to look forward to is a dream that's no longer possible for a growing percentage of American families. So what's changed? That safe and stable class has become shaky as unions collapsed, the gig economy surged, and wealth concentrated in the hands of the top 1%, the knock-on effects of which include sky-high housing prices, people working second jobs, and a cultural shift marked by 'one-percent' TV shows (and presidents).

Today's DEPOSITION looks back at public awareness of hostile sexual predator environment across US and here in Baltimore -----to show everyone is aware of the need for LEGAL ACTIONS to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance and PORNOGRAPHY.

I want to start by reiterating I still have not received a response from my POLICE COMPLAINT filed over 30 days ago about UMB Medical Library TOILET CAM PORN sexual predatory hacking into wired women's bathroom on 1st fl of library.

As I research for coming LAWSUIT I identify articles and legal rulings/court precedence in same category----IE, SEXUAL ASSAULTS/PORNOGRAPHY/ILLEGAL WIRE FRAUD TIED TO PORNOGRAPHY.

I will share a few articles written with UMMS as the institution tied to all this SEXUAL ASSAULT---but remember, JOHNS HOPKINS has as many complaints about SEXUAL MISCONDUCT----and of course one can easily relate a SEXUAL PREDATOR as GYNECOLOGIST who was found having CAMERA STREAMING VIDEOS of under-the sheet examinations of women being served at JOHNS HOPKINS MEDICAL CAMPUS.



POLICE COMPLAINT UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND BALTIMORE CAMPUS POLICE AND SECURITY

February 15, 2019

To:  Chief Cary
214 N Pine St
Baltimore, MD    21201

COMPLAINT # 190085  Feb 8, 2019
Police information -----PFC T Taylor   Badge # 75


I first contacted CHIEF CAREY of University of Maryland campus police who did indeed find time to meet with me regarding my desire to FILE A COMPLAINT. I spoke briefly about why I felt to be a victim of TOILET CAM PORNOGRAPHY giving the description above to why 1st floor bathrooms were VULNERABLE to these hacking crimes----while others may not. I indicated a desire to both file a COMPLAINT------as well as discuss with SECURITY how to FIX THIS VULNERABILITY to protect from future sexual assaults via TOILET CAMS.


Chief Carey was very attentive----she arranged a meeting for me with both a police detective for FILING COMPLAINT and a meeting with a SECURITY officer to arrange for inspections of UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND CAMPUS womens' rooms not only in that LIBRARY but campus---wide. This facility construction failure could be in many places although POLICE OFFICER assured no other floor plan like the 1st floor women's room exists.


WHEN YOU KNOW A POLICE OFFICER IS MAKING COMMENT NOT TRUE----THEN YOU WORRY ABOUT HOW THIS COMPLAINT WILL BE HANDLED.


Another concern as above was my description of HOW HACKING LIGHTING SYSTEMS works. I have until now not thought about SPYING AND EQUIPMENT but had spent a good deal of time educating on just that and understood how a NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG could sit near this women's room and indeed HACK IT. The police officer tells me 1st floor women's room is not computer accessible---IE supposedly the lighting fixtures are not wired for hacking ---she said for example those bathrooms have MANUAL LIGHT SWITCHES----not the automatic sensor light system as if THAT proves a bathroom lighting system cannot be HACKED. This again was FALSE statement by police officer as a renovation of bathrooms can indeed be wired while maintaining manual light switches.
I left that INTERROGATION with no copy of A COMPLAINT ----but only a COMPLAINT NUMBER. Since that officer has only taken notes -----I assumed a FINAL COMPLAINT would be coming very soon. This occurred on 2/8----I went back police office on 2/12 to access this COMPLAINT having no information telling me to WRITE MY OWN COMPLAINT.



The next problem comes with the fact that INTERROGATION ROOMS are wired----cameras and microphones tape these sessions so I KNOW there is a recorded tape of MY COMPLAINT PROCESS. When I ask police officer how to access that---or if this review process will look at this INTERROGATION ROOM TAPE RECORDING-----I am told there IS NONE.


WE KNOW THAT THE OFFICER IS NOT TELLING TRUTH. SO, AGAIN, I WORRY ABOUT HOW THIS COMPLAINT WILL BE HANDLED.


Continuing my COMPLAINT regarding TOILET CAMS in UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND HEALTH SCIENCES LIBRARY 1st floor women's bathroom-----


I discussed with the two security and police employees sent by Chief Carey to address my complaint why I knew those bathroom light fixtures were VULNERABLE to computer camera hacking-----easy peasy.


I described to SECURITY employee HOLLOWELL------and to the police detective details about how lighting fixtures are hacked and how I am sure it happens to 1st floor women's bathroom. Again, when a LIGHT BULB is exposed from the LIGHT WELL FIXTURE anything visible to LIGHT BULB is vulnerable to CAMERA-CAPTURE. I spoke about the distance one can be with a computer to make those TOILET CAM HACKS. For example, 1st floor computer space one could be within distance to hack ------lot's of personal computer use at these public computers for example maybe having all those SPY CAMERA APPS.


I know that the police are able to take the University of Maryland Science Library surveillance feed both camera and microphone to do a search for these kinds of activities. It can KEY words phrases like SHE KNOWS WHAT I AM DOING------and voila, the search would lead to that 2nd floor computer area and the 1st floor person or persons saying that phrase.


I described how the 1st floor women's bathroom was VULNERABLE to hacking from 2nd floor computer area close enough to that 2nd floor bathroom area. Because the 1st floor lighting fixture and LIGHT BULBS are built into the CEILING-----that CEILING LIGHT is very close to those 2nd floor computers----ergo, easy peasy to HACK. I cannot put date on hearing 1st floor SHE KNOWS WHAT I AM DOING---but, I can place a date on hearing that phrase on 2nd floor----that would the I was investigating 2nd floor women's bathroom after that 2/7/2018 TOILET CAM awareness. Simply searching for that phrase in university surveillance videos will capture that man at the computer doing that hacking and the second man saying SHE KNOWS WHAT WE ARE DOING.


Not knowing a specific date-----I was aware of a 1ST FLOOR BATHROOM renovation I would estimate about 4 months ago-----at the time the university was addressing policies of having to have UNISEX bathrooms for TRANSEXUAL/gender-blending issues surrounding male/female toilet use. Looking for date of building UNISEX BATHROOM on 1st floor will allow an investigation of what renovations happened to all those 1st floor bathrooms---men's and women's ----as well as that UNISEX.


I noticed that the wall having water fountains was torn out with lots of work done on say water pipes and wiring going up through that central access. I know that UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND FACILITIES MAINTENANCE with a director ROBERT RIESNER would have ordered those renovations. Then there are those management tied to ordering the supplies used in this renovation----and then there are the work control assigning workers who install that water piping/wiring tied to this bathroom renovation. I would expect an investigation to look at the records tied to this 1st floor bathroom renovation to attain an idea of what kinds of wiring et al replaced the old. I would wonder if those requisitions may not be accurate, so opens minds on what was installed as wiring. A police officer who says ----the 1st floor bathroom is not computer/wired because it has manual light switches does not understand that a bathroom being wired does not have to have sensor switches.



Upon experiencing this TOILET CAM exposure at University of Maryland LIBRARY I wanted to check what was done at other universities---so, I looked at all of JOHNS HOPKINS EISENHOWER LIBRARY women's bathrooms. Those bathrooms have lighting that can be SENSOR ---OFF/ON SWITCHES and are indeed WIRED-----microphone and camera capture. What EISENHOWER LIBRARY does differently then U OF M Baltimore campus is this: The number of light wells are fewer------those light wells are installed into walls NOT CEILINGS------and those light fixtures are BLOCKED by wooden shade making sure those LIGHT BULBS cannot be hacked and uses as cameras----as well, there was no fixture over toilet giving visual access to a person inside toilet stall---especially SITTING ON TOILET. So, it appears that while EISENHOWER has very likely WIRED those bathrooms to capture images and voices----they had FACILITIES MAINTENANCE install renovations in ways that would PROTECT HOPKINS' STUDENTS FROM VULNERABILITY from hacked LIGHT BULBS used as TOILET CAMS.


I spoke in detail to University of Maryland Security HOLLOWELL about my desire to not only tour the women's bathrooms in U OF M LIBRARY so I could explain how these TOILET CAM hacks are being done---but, I expressed a desire to do an EXPANDED tour of campus women's bathrooms looking for these same VULNERABILITIES. Remember, our MENS' BATHROOMS are equally VULNERABLE----there are people wanting images of MEN as well as women in TOILET CAM PORNOGRAPHY. This is not only a case SEXUAL ASSAULT ON WOMEN in these TOILET CAM PORNOGRAPHY.



I returned to University of Maryland campus Police and Security office 2/12/2019 to follow up on what police detective created as a final draft of my COMPLAINT since I was wanting MY EDITS to anything created from that POLICE INTERROGATION. I made clear I wanted MY WORDS on this COMPLAINT ----I asked if there was a form to assure that MY WORDS were on that COMPLAINT------I also made clear there would be an INTERROGATION VIDEO of all the points made during that COMPLAINT INTERVIEW. I was told my only recourse was to do a REQUEST FOR A REPORT -----given online email----online sights ----telling me how to request a REPORT -------with me saying over and over-----this will not get me a COMPLAINT in MY WORDS. I would expect a review of that encounter keeping in mind----I might appear a bit aggressive because I KNEW this COMPLAINT process was not working---I wanted to get this COMPLAINT PROCESS RIGHT.



I left that encounter being told to go online to request whatever COMPLAINT that original INTERROGATING OFFICER created---that was my ONLY RECOURSE. Not as important, but a civil injustice is this continuous requirement that citizens PAY FEES to attain ordinary PUBLIC POLICE DOCUMENTS so, I was told not only would not have a COMPLAINT IN MY WORDS----but, I would have to pay $20 to attain a copy of a police-written COMPLAINT.



As well, try as I might to reach SECURITY EMPLOYEE HOLLOWELL to discuss how light fixtures are HACKED for TOILET CAMS and to tour campus-wide women's bathrooms for VULNERABILITY-----I have yet to be able to reach HOLLOWELL. I tried on 2/7/2019 to schedule a time convenient to his schedule-----I tried 2/12/2019 by phone to reach his office to schedule that tour. I passed HOLLOWELL on street heading for a meeting on 2/12/2019 being told he did not have time to talk----I repeated PLEASE CALL with a scheduled time. My phone taken------so far, no attempt to address these WOMENS' BATHROOM VULNERABILITIES either in U of M Library 1st floor---or across campus.



KEEP IN MIND----THE KNOWLEDGE OF SPY CAMERA HACKING OF THESE LIGHT FIXTURES IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE----THERE IS NO MYSTERY GOING ON.

AMENDMENT TO COMPLAINT
Cindy Walsh Complaint #190085

I sent yesterday my COMPLAINT case of TOILET CAM in 1st fl women's bathroom U of M Baltimore Medical Library. Today, with more knowledge I would like to make one more point in VULNERABILITY to sexual assault tied to hacking existing wiring to create toilet cam pornography.
While my original complaint identified LIGHT FIXTURES and LIGHT BULB as source of capture by hackers for illegal surveillance I want to include what is called MICRO-USB APPLE CHARGING PLATFORMS. Now, charging platforms can be small for home use---or they can be large for institutional/corporate use. Both large and small platforms have the same capacity to be hacked and made into illegal surveillance both camera and microphone. In this case, U of M Baltimore Medical Library installed a institutional sized CHARGING PLATFORM about the time renovations of 1st floor bathrooms occurred, ie. about 4 months ago. I include the article below because it is an example of that SMALLER CHARGING PLATFORM being used for just what my complaint outlines. Someone can place any laptop, notepad, smart phone inside CHARGING PLATFORM wired connection to Library electrical source---same as bathroom LIGHT FIXTURES/LIGHT BULBS. The charging process for these devices which likely are CAMERA-MICROPHONE-READY allow someone to not even be in those close locations I describe in yesterday's complaint. I know my concerns outlined yesterday are VALID----but now I see further VULNERABILITY with CHARGING PLATFORM placed right against 1st floor bathrooms. Camera functions can be piggy-backed---meaning someone could use another computer to attach to that device inside CHARGING PLATFORM and control image capture same way as described in yesterday's account. This platform is additional to my claims in yesterday's complaint. I am sure both avenues have and will be exploited when these bathroom renovations create VULNERABILITY not only with LIGHT FIXTURES/LIGHT BULBS----but any device inside bathroom being SENSORED-----as fire alarms for example.

***************************************************************


MICRO-USB APPLE CHARGING PLATFORM
"voyeur” porn sites, some of which showed “what appeared to be footage from hidden cameras in bathrooms of women using the restroom.”
'she removed it from the downstairs bathroom at DFR Station 11 to charge her phone upstairs. Her husband was reportedly the one who first realized the charger actually also functioned as a camera'
Below we see where in DALLAS, a DALLAS police department took all this very seriously----they are investigating-----the FIRE DEPARTMENT leaders were pushing this investigation. What is different in this DALLAS----or maybe not-----is that where this article hints this pornography suspect was a LONE-GUN------I KNOW my was not a LONE-GUN and I KNOW my case ended being downloaded onto pornographic internet sites, this making it WIRE CRIMES ----not simply a case of self-enjoyed images.
Please, include in any investigation of this COMPLAINT #190085 all of these points of VULNERABILITY and the knowledge these TOILET CAM PORNOGRAPHY are being found on the internet pornography sites. All these VULNERABILITIES can be solved through FACILITIES CORRECTIONS PROTECTING LIGHT FIXTURES and placement of things like CHARGING PLATFORMS away from BATHROOMS/GYM LOCKER ROOMS/ANY CHANGING AREA.

From these complaints by employees working at UMMS came the announcement that UMMS would continue to investigate these SEXUAL ASSAULTS itself.  SELF-REGULATION------the corporation will be the OVERSIGHT.

The University of Maryland is still investigating their own sexual assault cases

Jazz ShawPosted at 11:01 am on December 28, 2017

The Baltimore Sun is reporting that the University of Maryland at College Park is once again under federal investigation over how they respond to reports of sexual violence on campus. Even with recent changes implemented by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos as to how Title IX cases are handled, many investigations stretch on for months or even years longer than they are supposed to under current rules. This is creating a backlog of campus investigations and raising questions of how seriously the university is taking its obligations.


The U.S. Department of Education has opened a third investigation into how the University of Maryland, College Park responds to reports of sexual violence on campus.


The department confirmed Wednesday that its Office for Civil Rights initiated an investigation on Dec. 6. Two other investigations were launched earlier this year.

The state’s flagship university is one of nearly 250 institutions across the country currently under investigation for possible violations of Title IX, the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex.
“We plan to fully comply and assist in the review process,” university spokeswoman Katie Lawson said in a statement. “Our commitment to a campus free of sexual misconduct remains steadfast.”


While the entire premise of these kangaroo court style tribunals is a farce to begin with, it’s easy to see how students may feel that the system isn’t functioning properly. And the complaints aren’t limited to just College Park. There are similar reports being looked into at Johns Hopkins University, Morgan State University, Mount Saint Mary’s University, Saint Mary’s College of Maryland and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

At College Park, the school’s Office of Civil Rights and Sexual Misconduct has faced complaints of insufficient funding, staffing and resources, leading to huge delays in response to allegations of sexual misconduct. Under Title IX guidelines, a response is supposed to be forthcoming within sixty days, but students frequently wait twice as long. At some Maryland schools, the waiting time has been as long as four years. Can you imagine if you had been raped or otherwise sexually assaulted and the police took four years to get back to you about the status of your case?



That brings us back to the ongoing complaint I’ve had with all of these stories. While it’s good that Betsy DeVos has taken steps to ensure that both the victim and the accused have access to a fair process, it doesn’t answer the question of why colleges are conducting criminal investigations in the first place. The people in charge of these inquisitions are not qualified to handle criminal investigations and, as we’re seeing in Maryland, they don’t have the resources to tackle the job even if they were.



If there’s a report of any form of sexual assault on campus, the first step in the process needs to be a call to the police. Once that’s done and a proper investigation is underway, the school is free to ensure that the student making the allegations has access to medical treatment, counseling and any other resources she may need. But the process of determining guilt and punishing the perpetrator has to be handled by law enforcement and the courts or else the entire farce is pointless. If the school makes their own determination of guilt they have no ability to lock the rapist away in jail. Expelling him from school simply releases a predator out into the community to victimize other women. Is that really so hard to understand?

As I follow pathways from what our US agencies tasked with crime and corruption accountability-----as I write POLICE COMPLAINTS----as I seek to make public my case of illegal surveillance and PORNOGRAPHY at my living space and from TOILET CAM PORN at UMMS women's bathroom-----I want to headline those agents for public justice which not only FAIL to protect in SEXUAL ASSAULT cases-----but actively work AGAINST our US 99% WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown who become SEXUAL ASSAULT victims-------

When I read the Baltimore and Maryland pathways to public justice for SEXUAL ASSAULTS, it is the OFFICE OF MARYLAND STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL as the office having the MOST responsibility in taking these cases to court for CRIMINAL PROSECUTION------but, as I see below in this UMMS case-----the ATTORNEY GEN FROSH-------works to defend UMMS from any LEGAL DAMAGE calling a SEXUAL ASSAULT victim case ------using technicalities to simply seek to DISMISS this SEXUAL ASSAULT lawsuit at UMMS-------

As I educate and advocate against saturated NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance and PORNOGRAPHY----I want all 99% of WE THE PEOPLE, US citizens and immigrants to understand what pathways NEED TO WORK-----and which DO NOT WORK.

In this case a victim of SEXUAL ASSAULT the victim went to IX TITLE ----Title 9 public justice structures tied to university campuses as routes for justice but as I see below she was given the same RUNAROUND as I am receiving when I report this to POLICE/UNIVERSITY/PUBLIC JUSTICE departments.

Lawsuit claims University of Maryland medical school ignored sexual harassment complaints
Talia Richman and Liz BowieContact Reporter

The Baltimore Sun November 13, 2018

Carly Goldstein says the text messages lit up her phone at all hours of the day and night.


“You are smoking hot in the way that I enjoy,” a supervisor texted her in July of 2015.
“I would give a pinky to have you for 24 hours,” he wrote a few months later.


For three years, Dr. Robert Crawford, a vascular surgeon at the University of Maryland Medical Center and a professor at the affiliated University of Maryland medical school, sexually harassed her, Goldstein alleges in a federal lawsuit.


Goldstein, a 31-year-old former research coordinator, is suing the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and its School of Medicine, saying officials ignored her pleas to intervene and failed to take action to stop persistent harassment.



Instead, between 2014 and 2017, Crawford continued to make unwanted advances toward Goldstein that were dismissed by supervisors and disregarded by a university investigative body, according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Baltimore.


Lawsuit alleges culture of covering up sexual assault complaints in Baltimore County, UMBC



An investigation by The Baltimore Sun has found that three other women complained to the university about Crawford’s behavior, saying he harassed them or other women and that superiors failed to take action to stop the behavior. Two of those women provided The Sun copies of their written communications with administrators in the university’s Title IX office, which investigates claims of sexual harassment.


Those women and three others who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation describe an atmosphere where inappropriate comments were accepted as part of the male-dominated vascular surgery department. Among them are two female surgeons who say they eventually left the department because of the harassment.



Attorney General Brian Frosh on Friday filed a response on behalf of the university, asking for the lawsuit to be dismissed. He writes that Goldstein was never technically an employee of the university or on its payroll. Instead, Goldstein worked for a foundation located in the Baltimore VA Medical Center alongside doctors who were also part-time faculty members at the university, his response states.



University officials said they addressed Goldstein’s complaints, and that they had no comment on the litigation.


“The University of Maryland, Baltimore takes allegations of harassment and mistreatment very, very seriously,” Alex Likowski, UMB’s executive director of media relations, said in a statement. “As soon as this matter was brought to our attention we investigated immediately and promptly took reasonable steps to address the complaints. However, since this is a pending legal and personnel matter, I can’t address the specific allegations, the results of our investigation or any actions taken by the university at this time.” Likowski was speaking for UMB, which includes the medical school.


Frosh’s response states that the university’s Title IX office took reasonable steps to investigate Goldstein’s allegations. In the end, officials concluded that Goldstein and Crawford had a relationship that “voluntarily extended beyond that of strictly work colleagues, and that Dr. Crawford could reasonably conclude that his advances were not unwelcome.”



Still, the university determined “Crawford had shown poor judgment, and thereafter the University elected to not renew his faculty contract,” the response states.

Crawford, who left the university last year and now works in Atlanta, declined to comment through his lawyer.


The Sun does not typically name alleged victims of sexual misconduct. But Goldstein said she wanted to speak publicly in hopes the university would be forced to “address the environment that allowed a predator to thrive.”


“I’m proceeding with this and coming forward because I truly hope at some point it will enact change, that they will address sexism” in the surgery department, she said in an interview with The Sun.


The lawsuit, filed in August, alleges Crawford pursued Goldstein relentlessly beginning in April of 2014. It claims he told her he was having difficulty concentrating on his work because he was looking at her body. Goldstein was at the time jointly employed as a research coordinator by the Baltimore Research and Education Foundation and the university medical school, the lawsuit states. BREF is also named as a defendant in the suit.


“The Baltimore Research and Education Foundation (BREF) is committed to maintaining a workplace free of sexual harassment,” Caroline Zink, executive director of BREF, said in a statement. “BREF complied with its obligations under federal and state anti-discrimination and anti-harassment laws with respect to Ms. Goldstein. Because this is a pending litigation, we are unable to comment any further on this issue.”


Among other high-ranking positions, Crawford was an associate professor in the University of Maryland medical school and medical director of the Vascular Surgery Progressive Care Unit at the University of Maryland Medical Center before leaving in 2017. He also conducted federal research at the Baltimore VA Medical Center.


He now works in the Emory University School of Medicine. A university spokeswoman said, “Emory does not discuss hiring decisions."

Goldstein worked for Crawford and other doctors on their research studies from 2014 to 2017. Her lawsuit alleges that when she would ask Crawford to sign off on documents and complete other necessary tasks as her supervisor, he would meet her request with “a demand that Goldstein agree to go to a bar with him.”
The alleged harassment escalated over the next three years, Goldstein said in an interview, even as she says she emphasized she was not interested in pursuing a romantic relationship.



Crawford once took her “to a local bar under the pretense that he was taking her to a cadaver lab for work-related purposes,” the lawsuit states.
In an interview, Goldstein acknowledged that despite the alleged harassment, she sometimes agreed to meet Crawford for dinner or drinks. Now 31, she said she looks back and chides herself for not being more forceful in confronting Crawford about his inappropriate comments as soon as they began. But in her 20s, at a job that she hoped would lead to graduate school and a career in medicine, she said she was willing to put up with it.



“I just saw him as a frat guy that was obnoxious,” she said. “I thought I could manage him.”
In the lawsuit, she alleges that Crawford twice touched her non-consensually, once in November 2015 and once in July 2016.


The two met at the Brewer’s Art bar and restaurant in November 2015, the lawsuit states, and “Crawford reached his arm around Goldstein, touched her legs and thigh and commenced kissing her against her will.” Goldstein’s suit says she repeatedly told him to stop and began sobbing. The suit said the bartender came over to see what was wrong. She said in an interview that she grabbed her purse and ran out of the restaurant, and still jumps when someone reaches out for an unexpected touch.



A flawed, inconsistent police response to sexual assault in Maryland

Shortly after she rejected him at the restaurant, according to the lawsuit, Crawford tried to fire Goldstein from his division.
The lawsuit states Goldstein was called into another doctor’s office and informed that Crawford wanted to remove her from his division. Dr. Shahab Toursavadkohi, another vascular surgeon, said he recognized Crawford’s request as retaliation, according to the suit.


This doctor told Goldstein he would “handle it” but that she should expect to be asked out because she is a “pretty girl,” the lawsuit states.
Asked for comment, Toursavadkohi replied with a brief statement. “This is an unfortunate story and I feel bad for Carly,” Toursavadkohi wrote in an email to The Sun. “I’ve always thought that I protected Carly but it seems that she doesn’t recognize it.”


Though she remained employed after the incident, Crawford would remind Goldstein that his work supported her salary, the lawsuit states.
She says she thought his word had the power to derail or accelerate her career.
“I felt like if I told him no, I’d lose my letter of recommendation to grad school,” she said in an interview. “He always held that over my head.”
Goldstein said Crawford was at times helpful to her career, mentoring her and involving her in projects that were published. The two exchanged roughly 4,500 text messages over the three years she alleges he sexually harassed her, discussing topics both related and unrelated to work.


She said in an interview that she felt she had to “keep him at bay.”


Goldstein’s suit says she reported the incidents to other supervisors in the medical school, but they shrugged off her fears and made dismissive comments about her experiences. She eventually went to the Title IX office, but she alleges investigators failed to dig into some of her most serious claims or interview her witnesses. They appeared biased to Crawford’s version of events, according to her lawsuit.



When she received a draft copy of the Title IX investigative report in April 2017, Goldstein’s suit alleges, it “contained many inaccuracies and key omissions.”



The university ultimately found that no hospital policy violation took place, according to the lawsuit.
“I had trouble processing that. How could anyone look at this and see what he did and say he did nothing wrong?” she said. “I felt like I was being gas-lit.”
In February and March of 2017, Goldstein filed discrimination charges with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In April, she resigned from her position, taking a pay cut of $25,000 for a different job in the same medical system.


Goldstein’s formal complaints against the doctor came months before a series of allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein would set off a national reckoning about the way women are treated in the workplace and elsewhere. It was one of a series of complaints about Crawford.



One woman who used to work with Crawford, who asked not to be named for fear it would hurt her career, shared the university’s draft copy of notes from a 2017 interview with Title IX representatives and the university’s counsel in which she, too, describes inappropriate behavior by Crawford. The notes describe similar types of harassment — sexual comments in the workplace, non-consensual touching and veiled threats that he could derail the woman’s career. The woman now works at another prominent hospital out of state.


She was interviewed by university officials because someone in the hospital reported her experiences to a supervisor, according to the notes.
The medical center and university jointly investigated her case, and ruled — as with Goldstein’s — that no violation of policy had occurred.



Another woman, a vascular surgeon at another hospital in the region, who asked not to be identified because she still works in the field, described inappropriate behavior by Crawford at professional conferences. She said Crawford would talk about wanting to sleep with her, and made her so nervous that she made sure he never saw what floor she got off at on the hotel elevator.
“I should never feel uncomfortable going to my hotel room at a vascular surgery meeting,” she said in an interview with The Sun.


The chief of vascular surgery, Dr. Rajabrata Sarkar, was also told in 2014 that Crawford harassed a female sales representative by “demanding that a female product sales representative spend time alone with him in order for him to consider the products she was selling,” according to the lawsuit.
Sarkar referred questions to the university’s spokesman.


A doctor who was an assistant professor of surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center, who asked not to be named because she still works in the field, said she reported harassment of the sales representative to her superiors and then suffered retaliation. She said her schedule was rearranged in a way that took away much of her work with patients.



“In retrospect, it was an active attack on my practice,” she told The Sun.


During a Title IX investigation of the incident, the woman said she reported the retaliation to the university but says investigators told her it was irrelevant to the case. She said that during her interview with investigators, they were not sympathetic.


“I left that meeting tears in my eyes,” she said.
The doctor shared with The Sun a signed copy of the letter she sent to university investigators detailing her complaints about retaliation and a hostile work environment for women.
In the letter, which she sent after meeting with Title IX representatives, she relates a story about a dinner where she was the only woman present.


“I was informed by Dr. Sarkar that I ‘should just be happy I get to eat at the table with the rest of the men,’” she writes. “I have had many female residents over the years come to me with complaints of gender bias, misogynistic comments and unfair treatment on the service.”


The woman says she left her position in 2017 because of the retaliation, and has taken a new job as a surgeon in another city.
Alexis Smith, who was a surgical resident at UMB and is a pediatric surgeon at an Atlanta hospital, said she witnessed an environment “that protected those who were violators of sexual harassment.”


There will always be men who attempt to harass and sexually assault women, she said, “but it is the institution itself that should provide the backbone of intolerance.”

Women warned top University of Maryland, Baltimore officials about 'hostile work environment' months before lawsuit

Contact Reporters

The Baltimore Sun

Nov 16 , 2018


An anonymous group of women that included faculty and medical residents warned top University of Maryland, Baltimore officials in January that prominent surgeons had inappropriate sexual relationships with subordinates and created a “hostile work environment” in the medical school and its affiliated hospital.


The women wrote a letter on Jan. 7 to UMB President Jay A. Perman, School of Medicine Dean E. Albert Reece and other leaders that described a culture in which it was believed that women would get ahead if they slept with certain surgeons.



“We don't understand why you continue to promote men who abuse their power, fuel a culture of inequality, and further extend a work environment of hostility,” the women wrote in the letter, which was obtained by The Baltimore Sun on Wednesday. They signed it #TimesUp, #MeToo.


University spokesman Alex Likowski said the university responded to the allegations swiftly.


“Very soon after the anonymous letter containing perceptions, rumors and allegations was delivered to UMB and UMMC leadership, they convened and immediately took action,” Likowski said in a statement. “They committed not only to investigate the allegations, but to go beyond them, taking a deep and broad look at the culture and climate of our teams — and to improve them.”


Lawsuit claims University of Maryland medical school ignored sexual harassment complaints


The university hired an outside party to investigate the claims, he said. “There was no evidence that any policies had been violated.”


The anonymous letter was sent roughly eight months before Dr. Carly Goldstein, a 31-year-old former research coordinator, filed suit against the university alleging she was sexually harassed by a vascular surgeon and professor, Dr. Robert Crawford.



She claims in her suit, first reported by The Baltimore Sun, that university officials ignored her pleas to intervene and stop the harassment, which she alleges went on between 2014 and 2017.


The university has said it takes allegations of sexual misconduct seriously. A spokesman said the university looked into Goldstein’s complaints and took reasonable steps to address them.


A university investigative body ultimately ruled that Crawford “could not reasonably conclude that his advances were not unwelcome.”
Still, the investigation determined he had shown “poor judgment” and the school declined to renew his faculty contract. He now works at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.


A Baltimore Sun investigation found at least three other women complained to the university about Crawford’s behavior, saying he harassed them or other women. Those women and others described an atmosphere in which inappropriate comments were accepted as part of the male-dominated vascular surgery department.


The letter sent in January by the anonymous group of women suggests the problems extended beyond that department.


“We are living in a time of heightened awareness of environments where powerful men have privilege and use it to take advantage of and/or benefit the women who surround them,” they wrote. “Our cultures at the [medical school] and the hospital are unfortunately not immune to such behavior.”


Their letter came in the wake of the fall 2017 allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, which set off a national reckoning about the way women are treated in the workplace. Over the past year, stories of alleged and admitted sexual abuse and harassment have been shared using the hashtag #MeToo. Doctors, surgeons, residents and nurses used a more specific call: #MeTooMedicine.


3 women with UMBC ties join sex-assault lawsuit; 1 alleges she was raped by 4 UMBC basketball players


The problem of sexual harassment in hospitals and medical schools is pervasive: A study released in 2016 found that 30 percent of female clinician-researchers had reported sexual harassment.


The anonymous women wrote in the January letter that they spoke for themselves and “women who have not yet found the courage to express their concerns.”
In the letter, they named two surgeons who they alleged had been having open affairs with subordinates. In one case, they said, a surgeon was having multiple relationships with women in his department.


“These relationships have contributed to a culture where both men and women believe that if a woman sleeps with [name redacted] she will benefit financially or by being promoted with questionable merit.”


The letter also described a third surgeon who “continues to make racial slurs and inappropriate sexual commentary.”


In response to the letter, University of Maryland Medical Center President Mohan Suntha, along with Reece, wrote a letter to the university medical community referencing the #MeToo movement and saying they wanted to create a culture of “fairness, respect and inclusion.”


The university hired an outside firm to do 80 confidential focus groups so that employees could speak freely about the culture of the organization. And at the beginning of the fall semester, Perman announced required sexual misconduct awareness and prevention training program for all students, faculty and staff. In addition, the organization has created a joint task force on culture.


The American Medical Association states that “sexual relationships between medical supervisors and trainees are not acceptable, even if consensual” because of concerns about power dynamics.



Roughly four out of five surgeons are male, and that disparity also exists in medical academia. Women constitute 26 percent of assistant professors of surgery, 13 percent of associate professors and 8 percent of professors, according to the Association of Women Surgeons. Of the 25 department chairs in the Maryland medical school, just one is a woman. The university said women represent 19 percent of its medical school leadership, including chairs, directors and deans.

3 women join lawsuit over alleged UMBC sex-assault cover-up


By - Associated Press - Friday, October 19, 2018

CATONSVILLE, Md. (AP) - Three more women have joined a class-action lawsuit accusing prosecutors, detectives and university officials of covering up sexual assault complaints at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.


The Baltimore Sun reports the lawsuit also added new defendants, including UMBC President Freeman Hrabowski III.


One new plaintiff says she was raped by four UMBC basketball players in 2014. Two were later expelled, but county authorities determined there wasn’t evidence a crime occurred. Two plaintiffs, including one of the two women who initially sued, say they were sexually assaulted by UMBC baseball players last year.
Hrabowski recently said the school needed to address Title IX’s “human side.”


Defendants have declined comment on the accusations. Attorney General Brian Frosh filed a motion to dismiss charges on behalf of UMBC and its police chief.

Continuing my DEPOSITION yesterday I hand-delivered those envelops to UNIVERSITY HOUSING departments for COLLEGE TOWN schools sharing my DEPOSITION from last weekend to promote university actions in keeping college students SAFE from NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance and PORNOGRAPHY which targets our young adults most because that is the PORN bringing more revenue.

I also found time to go to NORTHERN POLICE DISTRICT which covers my community and building to file a POLICE COMPLAINT regarding all the illegal  surveillance structures I'm finding inside and outside my apartment letting police know about the damage to private property being done by this NETWORK---letting police know that NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG feel they can enter a private building anytime they want because they have DUPLICATE building and apartment keys made by current or former tenets.

I used my DEPOSITION written from last weekend as my POLICE COMPLAINT---------handing it to NORTHERN DISTRICT POLICE assigned to front desk at time I entered police building.  My objective was first, to get that POLICE COMPLAINT number and date to verify the same problems I brought forward in JANUARY of this year have escalated and have been CONTINUOUS crimes of illegal surveillance.

When I entered I removed two illegal surveillance devices as physical evidence of illegal surveillance inside my apartment----I outlined verbally to the officers at front desk exactly what was written in DEPOSITION filed as POLICE COMPLAINT.  I went into detail about illegal surveillance inside my house and the structure of what is called THE UNIT -----on the other side of my building's wall----AKA ---NOSY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.  I was clear that the FEEDBACK from next door was both SEXUAL and INTIMIDATING and HARRASSING.  I made clear that the FEEDBACK from the talking from other side of wall was able to describe at times exactly what I was doing.  I made clear there would be no way to follow my movement inside apartment unless there was illegal surveillance devices capable of seeing inside.

At this point I am still working to upgrade covering of SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS.  While covered I have not had time to fully contain the damage from hacking into these alarms intending to do so very soon.  I have located with my new SURVEILLANCE FINDING DEVICE what will be a CAMERA planted in front of my chair in bedroom.  That has been covered and will be taken out.

The officers at front desk at first claimed I had no case or reason to file a POLICE COMPLAINT.  The discussion kept coming back to me needing to KNOW A NAME of criminals----NEEDING TO HAVE PHYSICAL PROOF of surveillance-----NEEDING TO BE READY TO GO TO COURT in order to process a POLICE COMPLAINT.   After 15 minutes of back and forth over the relevance of my COMPLAINT one officer says

I WILL WRITE A 'POLICE INFORMATION' REPORT-----

I am NOT READY to go to court so I do not intend to produce evidence that would lead to a CRIMINAL COMPLAINT and investigation.  I suggested to police officers that what was happening in my DEPOSITION was saturated through my community and that COMMUNITY POLICE must watch for these crimes.


Those first 15 minutes taken to simply get officers to recognize the validity of my case.  Two physical surveillance devices and my testimony as to being able to HEAR the NOSY NEIGHBOR talking about what is happening inside my apartment.

An officer having read my DEPOSITION took exception to my use of term PSYCHO-SEXUAL TORTURE which is in the complaint because it is part of a DEPOSITION for legal actions.  I verbally explained why THIS CASE is very much like CASES brought to court under the legal standing of PSYCHO-SEXUAL TORTURE. 

The connection is VERY EASY to make.  The police officer acted very concerned saying all that was

SO TERRIBLE-----SHE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO STAND IT------SHE WOULD MOVE.


Never was the suggestion made by police of need to get rid of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG.

Another 15 minutes was spent with police telling me ONE SURVEILLANCE DEVICE was not a camera but an ordinary TV CABLE part.  I went from having two surveillance devices as evidence to having ONE DEVICE declared NOT relevant -----then the discussion went to my NOT HAVING ANY PHYSICAL EVIDENCE of illegal surveillance.  No matter how hard one tries to keep discussion on REAL complaint issues, the police alter EVERYTHING in a complaint given by CITIZEN making a POLICE COMPLAINT. 

As I continued to demand a POLICE COMPLAINT the MAJOR AND CAPTAIN of NORTHERN POLICE DISTRICT came out and listened to MY DEPOSITION as COMPLAINT.  These two leaders claimed as well I had no EVIDENCE---they saw no way to understand how these illegal surveillance structures capture devices inside buildings and didn't want to know more.  The decision by MAJOR AND CAPTAIN was to LEAVE IT TO THE DESK OFFICERS.  I will say the MAJOR upon reading DEPOSITION fell onto the phrase PSYCHO-SEXUAL TORTURE as well-----PRETTY STRONG LANGUAGE from criminal activity ------as he was leaving he said---

THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.  SHE KNOWS WE DO IT TOO.

He told me I must go to PEOPLE'S COURT as I only had a CIVIL CASE.

Then, I was back with DESK OFFICERS asking for that same POLICE COMPLAINT -----wanting to leave---please write the complaint.  The response from officers was to return to this idea of MY HEARING VOICES as their interpretation of my complaint with all kinds of talk about

SENDING A POLICE UNIT OUT TO MY ADDRESS----BRING A STRAIGHT JACKET-------SHE HAS A CAT THAT WILL NEED TO BE MOVED.  

Now, all the discussion was THE DESK OFFICER who would write this COMPLAINT would use his OWN WORDS AND ASSESSMENT ---and not MY WORDS AND WRITTEN COMPLAINT.

His assessment was now-------SHE SAYS SHE IS HEARING VOICES--------and it appeared as though I may be creating a problem in my community.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE FIRST BALTIMORE POLICE OFFICER CALLED IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR SAID WHEN I FIRST COMPLAINED ABOUT ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE BY NOSY NEIGHBOR.

This first police officer made clear----he DID NOT BELIEVE there were ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE DEVICES and he told me I was HEARING VOICES IN MY HEAD.  He then tried to scare and intimidate me by claiming to call a police unit to TAKE ME TO A PSYCH WARD since I was HEARING VOICES IN MY HEAD..

So, this was exactly what the desk officers yesterday tried to end my attempt to get POLICE COMPLAINT while handing in my DEPOSITION as complaint IN MY WORDS. 

THE SAME ATTEMPT TO SCARE ME AWAY FROM MAKING A POLICE COMPLAINT AGAINST ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE AND PORNOGRAPHY FROM FIRST TIME I CALLED POLICE AND FROM YESTERDAY------

After about 30-45 minutes into trying to simply leave my COMPLAINT and fill out a complaint form-----the DESK POLICE finally produce what is called

A BALTIMORE SCHOOL POLICE 309 FORM------VICTIM ASSISTANCE/INCIDENT INFORMATION FORM.

When I noted that this form seemed NOT to be relevant to my complaint as this is not a SCHOOL INCIDENT REPORT ---the desk police told me 309 FORM was same whether SCHOOL REPORT or not.  I was assured I had the correct FORM and number for my COMPLAINT.

Below I show how a POLICE COMPLAINT can be done online----taking very little time----and costing NO MONEY---NO FEE.  My case did not meet this critieria because

I KNOW THE SUSPECT---
THIS CRIME IS CONTINUOUS----NOT ONE-TIME EVENT.




Before filing a report online, all of the following statements must be true:
  1. This is not an emergency.
  2. There are no known suspects.
  3. There are no witnesses who observed the incident or who could provide information leading to the identity of the suspect.
  4. The crime is not in progress. 
  5. The incident has not already been reported by phone or in person to police.
  6. The incident occurred more than 30 minutes ago.
  7. The incident occurred in Baltimore City.
  8. There is no evidence or fingerprints for police to collect.
  9. The incident is not a hate or bias crime. (A hate or bias crime is an act that appears to be motivated or is perceived by the victim to be motivated all or in part by race, color, religious beliefs, national origin, ethnic background, sexual orientation or disability.)
  10. The incident did not occur on a state freeway.
  11. The incident is not related to a vehicle crash.
If the incident met all of the above conditions, you may file a report online. 
Click Here to File your Police Report When you finish making your report, you will see these words: "Your online police report has been submitted." You can print a copy of your report to keep for your records, and you will be given a temporary police report case number. 
Once your report has been reviewed and approved, you will receive a Permanent Report Number. This is the number used within the Police Department to track your report. You must have a Permanent Report Number to follow up on the incident you reported.



Request Crime and Accident Reports

The Baltimore County Police Department (BCoPD) provides copies of crime and accident reports by mail. There is a $15 fee for each report, unless you are a victim of a crime. A copy of your incident report is free of charge if you are a crime victim.

I left NORTHERN DISTRICT POLICE DEPARTMENT after about 45 min-hour with only a 309 FORM-----and told if I wanted a copy of what was to be a FINISHED police report I would pay $20.  When I asked for a copy of DISPATCH of first officer in January having the exact date of 911 call----I was told by OFFICER this district police office could not produce from computer a dispatch to my address a specific date.  I find that AMAZING.

Now, I need to go to a downtown police office where I am told all 911 DISPATCH INFORMATION is only place to access who was dispatched in JANUARY.  The fee being $10 to get that information =====the police felt I may have trouble getting that information.

Of course by the time I arrived at home NOSY NEIGHBOR FEEDBACK was all about how the POLICE were going to TAKE ME TO PSYCH WARD.

Today's DEPOSITION deals with harm done to BUILDING OWNERS by NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG since tenets like myself can only be safe with well-being if our building owners can keep illegal surveillance capture and devices off those private properties.

From yesterday's DEPOSITION I want to include two issues for building owners in DAMAGES TO PRIVATE PROPERTY done when illegal capture of a building occurs.  First, many of these devices especially attached outdoors feed into the captured building's electrical current raising electricity bills each month just to keep illegal surveillance cameras operating on that captured property.  For my building that would be outside, basement, and first floor electrical bills higher because of all these devices.

I spoke of the physical damage done to a captured building------damage to walls, electrical circuitry, internal and external LOCKS/compromised doors.  NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG making illegal copies of KEYS---moving cameras through WALLS---re-directing electrical circuitry.

One more point from this weekend having NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG enter my building at night via front door to go to basement----hallway and basement surveillance cameras in public spaces inside building should capture image of anyone breaking and entering a private building at night or day.  My question is this:  are NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG able to DISARM a building's internal surveillance since they are HACKED into FUSE BOX------able to shut down those cameras when they enter a building ILLEGALLY?

IS THERE A BREAK IN SURVEILLANCE VIDEO FEED AT A POINT WHEN A NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG ILLEGAL ENTER A CAPTURED BUILDING?

Below are a list of local Baltimore university campuses---COLLEGE TOWN after all--  I will be sending a copy of this current DEPOSITION to each Dean of Student Living/Residential official.

As I work to make myself safe with well-being in my own living space and building I know that if NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG are saturated in each community in Baltimore as well as my own, I cannot FIX my situation without PUBLIC AWARENESS making this a PUBLIC SAFETY issue for all.

Housing Availability
Graduate Students



Is there housing for graduate students in Maryland's residence halls?
Priority for residence hall housing is given to full-time undergraduate students. Graduate students at the University of Maryland can request residence hall housing. However, there are no facilities within the residence hall system exclusively for graduate students or for spouses, partners or family members of students.
What other housing options are close to the University of Maryland campus?There are two all-graduate student apartment communities on University property. The Graduate Gardens and Graduate Hills communities are owned by the University of Maryland and managed on the University's behalf by a property management company. A separate application and leasing process applies for these apartment communities.

Information about additional housing options in nearby communities is available from the University's Off-Campus Housing Services and Graduate Student Life staff members. To search for housing options, please start by visiting Off-Campus Housing Services, where an online database can be used to match housing criteria you select (such as type of housing and price range) to currently listed/available rental housing in College Park and surrounding communities.

Availability of residence hall space is very limited for graduate students. All requests are initially placed on a waiting list. If space becomes available, graduate students are moved off the waiting list and assigned a room and roommate. Periodic updates on the status of your housing request are posted at this web site and sent to your University of Maryland e-mail address.
What legal obligations do students accept by asking for residence hall housing?The University's housing and meals agreement is legally binding upon its receipt by the Department of Resident Life. No returning residence hall student should submit the housing and meals agreement without being prepared to accept and pay for housing and meal services or without having read its terms and conditions. Submitting the housing and meals agreement does not guarantee that a residence hall assignment can be made by the start of classes in any given semester.

About Us
Director of Resident Life


Thank you for your interest in the residence hall program at the University of Maryland, College Park! Our community is home to thousands of students who are actively engaged in becoming better citizens, scholars and leaders.
We seek to accommodate students as quickly as we can. Housing demand from students usually exceeds our supply of available beds, so it is very important that you ask for our housing early, preferably immediately upon receiving formal notice of your admission.
We will keep you informed about the status of your housing request through a variety of on-line, printed and staffing resources.
Best wishes for every personal and academic success at the University of Maryland.
Sincerely,



Dr. Deborah Grandner,
Director of Resident Life

RE:


Housing Operations

Welcome to Housing Operations, where we believe that through community living, students can develop important personal, social and interpersonal skills. Through your experiences in university housing, we hope you will have the opportunity to learn to appreciate and respect individual differences and cultural diversity while fostering personal growth and developing a greater understanding of your own identity.

There is a two-year residency requirement for all new students attending Johns Hopkins University. This policy requires that first and second-year students reside in university housing or at home with a parent or legal guardian. If you are interested in pursuing a commuter exemption please contact us at housing@jhu.edu for more information.


University housing is provided to registered, full-time undergraduate students within the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences and the Whiting School of Engineering. When a student graduates, withdraws, takes a leave of absence, fails to register full-time for the semester, or is academically dismissed, the individual will be required to vacate university housing immediately. Graduate students are ineligible for university housing.


Committed to providing quality facilities and services to students, the department strives to create a safe, comfortable, developmental and educational living environment. Please do not hesitate to visit or reach out to any of our offices with questions or concerns. We hope to have the opportunity to meet many of you throughout your time with us.
Once again, welcome!


Student Housing

Living on campus is an indispensable piece of the Hopkins undergraduate experience—nearly all our Homewood campus-based undergraduates live in residence halls during their first two years, and some stay longer.
Underclassmen have two options:
  • Traditional residence halls, which contain mainly doubles (that’s you and one roommate), with a few singles, and shared bathrooms
  • Suite-style arrangements, which include doubles, singles, or triples; private bathrooms; and central heating/air conditioning (some also have small kitchenettes)
For others, there are plenty of apartments and houses for rent within walking distance of all four of our Baltimore campuses. JHU’s Off-Campus Housing Office, which publishes listings for available properties, can help.




The Off-Campus Housing office provides information to members of the Johns Hopkins community searching for housing near the Homewood Campus. We are here to help students who are not required to reside in University Housing as well as faculty and staff. We maintain a database with private residential and commercial properties in the area that offer leases of various lengths, including month-to-month. In addition to our website and database, our office is equipped with computers, phones, informational brochures and resources for you to utilize during your search for off-campus housing.


Please feel free to stop by and visit our office, which is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m. You can also call 410-516-7961 or email us at offcampus@jhu.edu with any questions or concerns. We are located on the Terrace Level of McCoy Hall (formerly the MPR) on the Homewood Campus. We look forward to hearing from you.

Searching for Housing


Looking for off-campus housing can be a fun, yet challenging experience, especially if you have never lived on your own. But with our assistance, hopefully it will be more of a fun and exciting experience.


Where to Start

There are over 24 commercial properties that surround the Homewood Campus and a host of residential properties. They all offer something different and have their own feel and personality so it is important for you to figure out what your needs and wants are first. Such as: price, location, lease terms, and amenities. It is helpful to create an ordered list starting with your “must haves” to “this would be nice.” Once you have your list together you can start weeding through your options.

The Housing Office’s primary focus is to assist faculty, staff, and students looking to move or relocate to the Baltimore area.
To better assist you with your search in finding the perfect home, the JHMI Housing website was created to help you find affordable and safe housing in the Baltimore area. The site also answers many questions you may have about Baltimore, student life, roommates, furniture for sale, carpools, hotels, daycare, transportation information, school systems in the city and surrounding counties, as well as other useful resources. The Housing Office also provides personal consultations if you require additional assistance.

Off-Campus HousingJohns Hopkins has partnered with Off Campus Partners to create an improved Off-Campus Housing Listing Service & Website to better serve the East Baltimore Campus—members of the School of Medicine, School of Nursing, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.
For Students, Staff, and Faculty:The website allows students, staff and faculty to view listings on a user name/password protected site at their fingertips anytime during the day. The site provides tools to breakdown properties into neighborhoods, pricing, amenities, and much more. The service also includes educational components designed to help students become good citizens of the Baltimore community. There is a roommate finder section as well as a message board to post carpools, furniture for sale, and other areas of interest.

For Owners/Managers:This web-based service provides area owners/managers with a tool to market their properties to the Hopkins community directly on the official Johns Hopkins housing website. The service also includes educational components designed to help students become good citizens of the Baltimore community.
By becoming a member you will receive:
A comprehensive property listing on the Johns Hopkins housing website. The user-friendly site includes a fully searchable database that Hopkins renters and buyers will use to find off-campus housing. Your property listing(s) will include:
  • Photographs and floor plans
  • Maps with proximity to campus
  • Links to your email, application/lease, and/or website
  • Unlimited text description and a list of amenities
We believe your membership in the program will benefit you by:
  • Reaching over 30,000 prospective renters/buyers who were previously difficult to reach, including more than 400 undergraduates and parents, 3,500 graduate and professional students and 5,000 faculty and 21,000 staff at the East Baltimore Campus who will access the site to peruse local listings.
  • Enabling you to plan for a fixed marketing cost – the annual subscription fee.
  • Generating educated leads at a low lease acquisition cost since the students and faculty/staff that visit your property have already “shopped the market” and arrive ready to tour the property and sign your lease.

We have chosen Off Campus Partners, a company with a proven track record of linking university renters/buyers and properties together, as our partner to implement this program. Off Campus Partners is a for profit institution that provides a venue for property listings through Johns Hopkins.
