Part 1 of a grusome TRUE Story documented in the Court Records of Oregon. Wilbur Gaston, a man with grown, children in his mid 60's fathers a daughter with with a unmarried woman, who soon loses all her children to CPS. Wilbur Finds out, and fights to get his daughter, Melissa Gaston, OUT of the Foster - CPS system, and with help from Pam, a local Artist, WINS. It takes 6 months for 4 year old Melissa to stop
screaming spontaneously after Wilbur gets custody back. Wilbur marries 40+ yr old Pam Gaston, 20 years his junior. After 25 months of custody, Melissa is feeling safe with her Bio Dad, Wilbur Gaston,
Then CPS thugs, send local police to kidnap Melissa playing in the front yard with a friend. Pam & Wilbur fight in court for years to win his daughter Melissa back. The State of Oregon, apparentlyl under
the direct order by CPS agent "Larry Lawson" according to Wilbur, orders Oregon School teacher, Hazel S. to make a porno film on video. the Idea is to get liitle Melissa to accuse her own innocent dad
of making her dance naked and "touch herself" where it feels "good". Then use the video against
Wilbur , after editing, to permanently "REMOVE" and "TERMINATE" his parental Rights, and put him in
Jail so he can NEVER have his daughter back - - for the crime of rescuing her from CPS abuse in Foster homes. Wilbur tells us in a later clip how at age 15, Melissa "found" her dad via the internet, and they got together for a afternoon, and talked and Melisssa said when she turns 18 she wants to come live with
her Dad. BECAUSE the only time she felt "Safe" was when she was those 25 months as a little girl
living with her Dad , Wilbur Gaston, who rather resembles Santa Claus out of uniform. Wilbur sued those who were prosecuting him for "stalking" etc. and in the end... either Wilbur would be found guilty or the STATE of OREGON would owe Wilbur $500 million dollars. Wilbur WON.
Oregon has a judgement against it rendered by a JURY, for $500 million they owe Mr. Gaston, and inspite of the 12000 Oregon State Bar members of Oregon, none has been willing to Perfect the Judgement and start collecting the $$ owed . Wilbur struggles on Soc. Secutity. and Pam got murdered before she could start the collection on the Judgement, . . . by aerial Poisoning by a Helicopter that flew over and dropped a mist on their trailer in a woods, after Pam was forced out of
her home in Mt. Angel , Oregon. Police refused to investigate. Ask yourself. Can this be true. Can the State of Oregon kidnap a mans daughter, use her for a porno film, send it around to CPS agents as a case example of "child Pornography" and then be caught, ordered to pay up, and after a murder of a woman, Pam, simple lock up the tape in a Judges
"safe", so the father can NOT show anyone else how awful the Court system and CPS is?
Research, and start with VOICE for the CHILDREN web site, where you can find Teacher Hazel S.
confession. Then call your CongressCritter and demand Federal Prosecution of the guilty judges, CPS agents, police, and the abolishment of CPS in total. Note, Wilbur's sister calls it NAZISM
--
Few will have the greatness to bend history; however, each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope... and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Los Angeles, CA The Full Disclosure Network® has learned that Superior Court Judge David Yaffe plans to step down from the bench in October 2010, prior to the expiration date of his elected term of office. The reasons? Presumably by retiring early the Governor will have an opportunity to name his successor rather than having a contested election to fill the spot. But there are other possible reasons for Judge Yaffe's decision, not the least of which could be the long grueling case of jailed anti-trust attorney Richard I. Fine. Yaffe ordered Fine to be held in solitary "coercive confinement for contempt of court indefinitely, without bail, without a hearing and without a release date.
CATCH 22 KEEPS FINE IN JAIL
The Judge's Order stated that Fine would not be released from jail until he appeared at a Debtors Hearing in Deptartment 1A and provided the court with information regarding his assets. Fine had contended he would not answer the questions until he had exhausted all his appeals as the Judge's order was void and illegal. The Court had apparently set a Debtor Hearing date of June 14, 2010.
As the date neared a volunteer for Richard Fine attempted to arrange with the Court and Sheriff Baca's office for transportation to the Court. Janette Isaacs related in an Email that both the Court and Sheriff refused to transport Dr. Fine to the hearing. She was told that "budget cuts" prevented them from providing the transportation. Read her Email report to Full Disclosure® with details.

EXCERPTS FROM COMPAINT
Demand for Immediate Removal of Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David P. Yaffe
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David P. Yaffe engaged in fraud upon the court, obstruction of justice, misappropriation of funds, bribery, violation of Code of Judicial Ethics Canons 4D(1), 3E(2), 3E(1) and 2, violation of CCP § 170.1(a)(b)(A)(iii), violation of California Constitution Article 1; §§ 7 and 15 (due process) and section 3 (Petition Government for Redress of Grievances, violation of U.S. Constitution Fifth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment (due process), First Amendment (Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances) and Article II, Clause 2 (Supremacy Clause), violation of the “Intangible Right to Honest Services (18 U.S.C. § 1346, and violation of his oath of office, in his actions in the case of Marina Strand Colony II Homeowners Association v. County of Los Angeles, LASC Case No. BS 109420 (Marina Strand case) and its ancillary contempt proceeding against Richard I. Fine (FINE).
The Marina Strand case was a writ of mandate proceeding brought to invalidate the County Board of Supervisors May 15, 2007 illegal certification of an environmental impact report (EIR) applied for by Los Angeles County and its co-applicant Del Rey Shores Joint Venture and Del Rey Shores Joint Venture North (collectively Del Rey Shores) to re-develop the Del Rey Shores Apartment Complex in Marina Del Rey, California from 200 plus units to 500 plus units extending five stories high with “sails” on the roof resulting in the buildings rising to approximately 100 feet above the ground level of the surrounding two story buildings . The proposed redevelopment also increased the parking spaces from 200 plus to 1,000 plus.
I. Judge Yaffe Committed “Fraud Upon the Court” By Presiding Over the Marina Strand Case While Having Received Illegal Payments From Los Angeles County and Not Having Disclosed Such Thereby Voiding All of His Actions.
II. Senate Bill SBX 211’s Retroactive Immunity is Limited to Just the Payments of the County Benefits to the Judges and Nothing More by its Terms.
III. Judge Yaffe Deliberately Lied in a Court Document
IV. Judge Yaffe Violated CCP Section 170.3(c)(4) by Refusing to Leave the Marina Strand Case After he was Disqualified and by Refusing to Send the File to the Presiding Judge for Re-Assignment.
V. From the Outset of the Marina Strand Case Judge Yaffe Violated Canons 4D(1), 3E(2), 3E(1)2 and CCP Section 170.1(a)(b)(A)(iii) by Taking the Los Angeles County Money, Not Disclosing Such and Not Disqualifying Himself.
VI. Judge Yaffe Violated CCP section 1216.
VII. Judge Yaffe Violated Federal and State Due Process, His Oath of Office and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution by Judging his Own Actions in the Contempt Proceeding Ancillary to the Marina Strand Case.
VIII. By Taking Payments From Los Angeles County Which Were also Illegal and “Bribes” Judge Yaffe Violated Federal and State Constitutional Due process
IX. Judge Yaffe Violated Due Process by Holding Fine in Contempt and Ordering him and Keeping him in “Coercive Confinement” Without a Hearing. X. Judge Yaffe’s Actions are Not an Isolated Incident But a Continuing Course of Conduct that Mandates his Removal.
CONCLUSION OF COMPLAINT:
Judge Yaffe is the “tip of the iceberg” of the largest judicial scandal in American history. In Los Angeles County alone, approximately $300 million of illegal payments have been made to Los Angeles Superior Court judges from Los Angeles County since the late 1980’s.
Illegal payments have been made to superior court judges in 55 of the 58 California counties. Approximately 90 percent of the court of appeal justices received illegal county payments when they were superior court judges. Based on their biographic records, five of the seven California Supreme Court judges, including the Chief Justice, received illegal county payments when they were superior court judges.
All of these superior court judges, court of appeal justices and superior court justices received retroactive immunity as of May 21, 2009 from civil liability, criminal prosecution and disciplinary actions for the illegal county payments. They did not receive immunity for failure to disclose the payments, “fraud upon the court”, federal criminal acts such as violating the Intangible Right to Honest Services – 18 U.S.C. 1346, violating federal and state constitutional due process and the right to petition the government to redress a grievance.
At the present time California has “the best judiciary that money can buy”. The corruption of the California judiciary due to the illegal county payments exceeds that of any country in the world as it affects over 90 percent of the judges and justices.
The commission must remove Judge Yaffe and then remove every other judge and justice who has taken illegal county payments until the integrity of the judiciary is restored.
Until such time, no Californian will receive a “fair trial presided over by an impartial judge.”
I, Richard I. Fine, declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing facts are within my personal knowledge and if called to testify, I could and would competently testify thereto. Executed this ___ day of June, 2010, at Los Angeles, California. ___________________________ RICHARD I. FINE

Leslie Dutton of Full Disclosure Cable TV Sues For The Right To Interview Richard Fine, In Prison Indefinitely
From Judicial reform activist Joseph Zernik:
The case of Richard Fine was used only as an example. The vast majority of the victims are blacks and latinos, and about a third of them were estimated to have been still juveniles at the time of their false imprisonment.
As quoted in the paper forwarded to you some weeks ago:
1) Reports by PBS in 2001 related to the Rampart scandal investigation (1998-2000) provided various estimates of the number of those who were falsely imprisoned in Los Angeles County as 8,000 to 30,000.
2) Unofficial report by Prof Erwin Chemerinsky, Founding Dean of the UC Irvine Law School, and renowned constitutional scholar in 2001 stated upon review of the matter: “This is conduct associated with the most repressive dictators and police states… and judges must share responsibility when innocent people are convicted.”
3) Unofficial report by Prof David Burcham, Dean of Loyola Los Angeles Law School in 2001 stated: “…judges tried and sentenced a staggering number of people for crimes they did not commit."
4) Official report by the Blue Ribbon Review Panel stated in 2006: "Innocent people remain in prison". It also recommended "external investigation" of the Los Angeles Superior Court, which the US government so far has refused to conduct.

Dear Child Protective Industry-A Letter from LK
Dear Child Protective Industry
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank the Child Protective Industry for giving me so much to work with by providing a never ending supply of Child Welfare Screw-ups.
Without your corruption, stupidity, incompetence, mismanagement, fabrications, exaggerations and disregard for the rights and well being of our families and children, I'd be stuck blogging about flowers and butterflies or something lame like that. But thanks to you, I am always able to provide my readers with new and interesting material on how you deceive the general public by convincing the sheep that it's all for the greater good, while you are in fact running a fraudulent scheming Gestapo behind the veil of your confidentiality laws.
So thank you for putting our children with foster parents who will drug, beat, rape and kill them. Thank you for your contribution to the US prison and homeless population by allowing them to age out and booting them out on their ass as soon as they do. Thank you for defrauding the tax payer out of their hard earned money and fluffing your numbers by stealing children for frivolous reasons. And above all, thank you for f****** with my family, for had you not I would probably have a normal life.
Peace, love and flowers

Anti-psychotics may cause brain damage, new study shows
Anti-psychotics may cause brain damage, new study shows
By Zephaniah Samuels 18/07/10
Findings from a new study that shows that anti-psychotic drugs are likely to cause brain damage has raised alarm bells among health campaigners and human rights groups.
Effects of antipsychotics on brain volume
Entitled ‘A systematic review of the effects of antipsychotic drugs on brain volume ,' the results of this study dispel the widely-held view that schizophrenia itself causes brain structural changes. ‘Some evidence points towards the possibility that antipsychotic drugs reduce the volume of brain matter and increase ventricular or fluid volume. Antipsychotics may contribute to the genesis of some of the abnormalities usually attributed to schizophrenia,' the report says.
Published in the journal of Psychological Medicine these new findings are based on a review of the effects of antipsychotic drugs on the brain. The findings published earlier this year, have raised alarm among race equality and human rights groups who are increasingly concerned about the over-diagnosis of ‘schizophrenia' among people from African Caribbean people communities.
The annual Count Me In Census report logs the ethnic origin of those admitted into psychiatric care including those detained against their will under the Mental Health Act.
For the past four years census findings have shown that rates of forced detention of black people under the Act continue to rise while falling for the rest of the population. The results of the latest 2009 Census published earlier this year again confirmed health campaigners worst fears, that absolutely no improvement has been made to reduce the detention rate of black people sectioned under the Mental Health Act despite the former government's million pound programmed to address the racism and within mental health service.
African Caribbean's routinely given diagnosis of schizophrenia
Once in the system evidence shows that black people are routinely given a diagnosis of schizophrenia even though there is no biological evidence to show that this group have higher rates of mental ill health than their white counter parts.
The diagnosis of schizophrenia is routinely accompanied by a regime of antipsychotic medication, with little evidence of those who enter the system ever making a full recovery.
A report by the now defunct Mental Health Act Commission entitled, Risks, Rights and Recovery published in 2008 show that over stretched staff are regularly give patients high doses of medication in order to make patients more easy to manage.
This latest paper challenges the view that schizophrenia itself causes brain structural changes, such as less brain grey matter, larger ventricles and more cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces, researchers say. The team responsible for this work reviewed magnetic resonance imaging studies, which had assessed brain changes in patient on anti-psychotic and those of patients not on the drugs.
Over half of the 26 studies showed that the brains of patients on anti-psychotics had shrunk. This was compared to the 21 studies of patients who had not be given anti-psychotics, where just five showed brain size decreases. However no differences were reported in three studies of non-drug patients who had been ill for a long time.
Drug treatment shrinks the brain
‘There seems to be enough evidence to suggest that antipsychotic drug treatment may play a role in reducing brain volume and increasing CSF or ventricular space,' researchers say.
Although these findings were published in January this year, equality groups are concerned that very little is being done to change the way in people diagnosed with schizophrenia are treated.
‘The psychiatric community still seem unworried by this [the possible effects on the brain of anti-psychotic medication] and continue to focus on the idea that schizophrenia is causing the brain damage,' Dr Moncrieff the lead researcher on this paper said.
The human costs to individuals and their loved ones has not ever been quantified, however the cost of schizophrenia on the public purse estimated to be close to £6.7 billion pound in 2004/005.
In this current economic climate experts from the community point out that decision makers need to recognise the economic impact of schizophrenia and move towards establishing alternatives to the medical model of care.
‘This research confirms what many of us working on the frontline with people who use mental health services have known for a very long time. The system damages people and now we see that the medication is causing brain damage. What is needed in a significant cut in the budget that goes on medication and more investment in community based services that have a good track record in keeping people well,' a community mental health worker told Black Mental Health UK.

A report by the now defunct Mental Health Act Commission entitled, Risks, Rights and Recovery published in 2008 show that over stretched staff are regularly give patients high doses of medication in order to make patients more easy to manage.
This latest paper challenges the view that schizophrenia itself causes brain structural changes, such as less brain grey matter, larger ventricles and more cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces, researchers say. The team responsible for this work reviewed magnetic resonance imaging studies, which had assessed brain changes in patient on anti-psychotic and those of patients not on the drugs.
Over half of the 26 studies showed that the brains of patients on anti-psychotics had shrunk. This was compared to the 21 studies of patients who had not be given anti-psychotics, where just five showed brain size decreases. However no differences were reported in three studies of non-drug patients who had been ill for a long time.
Drug treatment shrinks the brain
‘There seems to be enough evidence to suggest that antipsychotic drug treatment may play a role in reducing brain volume and increasing CSF or ventricular space,' researchers say.
Although these findings were published in January this year, equality groups are concerned that very little is being done to change the way in people diagnosed with schizophrenia are treated.
‘The psychiatric community still seem unworried by this [the possible effects on the brain of anti-psychotic medication] and continue to focus on the idea that schizophrenia is causing the brain damage,' Dr Moncrieff the lead researcher on this paper said.
The human costs to individuals and their loved ones has not ever been quantified, however the cost of schizophrenia on the public purse estimated to be close to £6.7 billion pound in 2004/005.
In this current economic climate experts from the community point out that decision makers need to recognise the economic impact of schizophrenia and move towards establishing alternatives to the medical model of care.
‘This research confirms what many of us working on the frontline with people who use mental health services have known for a very long time. The system damages people and now we see that the medication is causing brain damage. What is needed in a significant cut in the budget that goes on medication and more investment in community based services that have a good track record in keeping people well,' a community mental health worker told Black Mental Health UK.

A 37-year-old state employee was arrested Saturday afternoon on suspicion of sexually assaulting his 10-year-old foster son.
Kirk Patrick Decoste, a state Department of Revenue employee who has been a single foster parent since January, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree sexual assault of a child.
An 18-year-old foster son told police he returned to the family apartment late Saturday morning to find the 10-year-old and Decoste both naked.
The younger boy later told police there had been unwanted sexual contact since his recent placement with Decoste, said Lincoln Police Officer Katie Flood.
She said Decoste has no criminal record.
The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services has placed both boys in other homes, Flood said.
