Corruption in Government is not just in Alaska but other states as well

You may have noticed an uptake in government officials being charged with crimes against the people they are elected to represent.  In Alaska we are seeing it in the courts, with politicians, state agencies like Office of Children's Services and among law enforcement.  What you might not be aware of is this problem is coming under national scrutiny.  Montana's Attorney General Austin Knudsen has recently made huge headlines.  Reporter AMY BETH HANSON from AP news quoted Tim Stauch, "Knudsen or attorneys under his supervision “routinely and frequently undermined public confidence in the fairness and impartiality of our system of justice…

To honor Hoonah Tribal Councils Resolution #23-25

Hoonah Resolution #23-25 judicial failure in Thomas Mack case

July 7, 2023Posted inCourt Cases, Elected Officials, Judges, Law Suits, Laws & Legislation, News Reports, Tribal News, UncategorizedNo Comments
Resolution #23-25 HIA Resolution - 2023 The Hoonah Indian Association makes some very good points in RESOLUTION #23-25 Resolution of Support for Thomas Jack. You should read up on this case.  The Native communities are unrepresented in the judicial system.  Governor Dunleavy has failed to recognize or act on this.  Tribal Council findings represent the facts.  A court stacked against Thomas Mack- that being an all white court is not justice.  Native neighbors ethnic rights in the judiciary system harms Alaska.  It devalues their freedoms by placing them in jeopardy of dealing with a stacked deck.  It would seem our…

What is Arraignment? An arraignment is the first step in a criminal proceeding. This is where the defendant is brought in front of the court to hear the charges against them and enter a plea. An arraignment can be viewed as a pre-trial. Some states will require an arraignment for misdemeanor cases or felony cases. Other states only require an arraignment for felony cases. During an arraignment, in front of a judge the charges will be read to the defendant. The defendant will also be read their rights.  (https://herlawyer.com/arraignment-vs-indictment/) On June 23rd , 2023 ex Judge Margaret Murphy was arraigned at…

On June 23rd 53 people drove from all over Alaska to attend the arraignment of ex-judge Margaret Murphy for perjury.  This indictment is the result of a grand jury convened under the Alaska State Constitution.  Under the Alaska Constitution people have the right to question the courts and other agencies for faulty processes and corruption.  All elected officials need to be accountable. People from as far away as Talkeetna drove to listen to a hearing that lasted approximately 12 minutes.  The courtroom was rightfully packed with people wanting to witness that a judge caught lying was being held accountable. Perjury under…

PAC derails Justice

PAC’s and the impact our courts have on elections

June 9, 2023Posted inAlaska Supreme Court, Court Cases, Elected Officials, Laws & Legislation, News Reports, UncategorizedNo Comments
Worried about institutional corruption?  You should be.  Here is yet another example of corruption by elected officials through the influence of courts which will not allow the hobbling of super PACs.   The legal precedent for super PACs Many people believe that the US Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which allowed corporations to spend money directly in elections, compels this result. But Citizens United, bad as it was, didn't say anything about super PACs. Instead, starting a few months after the Citizens United decision, a handful of lower courts, based on an unfortunate misunderstanding of Citizens United, decided that the Constitution…
Corruption in Politics: the Corrupt Bastards Club

Corruption in Politics: the Corrupt Bastards Club

June 9, 2023Posted inCourt Cases, Elected Officials, Laws & Legislation, News Reports, UncategorizedNo Comments
The name "Corrupt Bastards Club" was widely used to designate Alaska legislators implicated in a massive ongoing federal corruption investigation.  Elected officials benefitted from ripping off tax payers. Some even had the audacity to wear hats bearing the emblem CBC.  Take some time to remember that those elected in all areas of government are not above the law. It is important to remember that oil has a way of greasing more than an engine.  In the corruption among state representatives and senators bribes greased the hands of elected officials.  Just another way that justice finds a way to light.  Exposing corruption…
