Subject: Lisa was hacked by an All-Jewish Law firm in New York...Re:
"Deadly Resstraint" Update, Hartford Courant article

Date: Saturday, October 14, 2006 07:06:08 [View Source]

The deal with Lisa Masterson is that she knew Gary Wormser and the
Infectious
Diseases Society of America (see my homepage) want to continue to
insist that
Lyme is a knee-only disease, and they want to use another OspA vaccine
here and
in Europe manufactured by Baxter.

Lisa posted these articles, and then she was bagged again:

She was stalked and harassed by the Disinformation Specialist, Edward
McSweegan,
and an all-Jewish law firm in New York.

Lisa is Jewish, BTW.

Who could the all-Jewish law firm (about 12 lawyers) be working for?

Mortimer Zuckerman (involved in the ALDF.com, as is Hank Greenberg's
AIG) and
his real estate empire? or SmithKline? or Gary Wormser at New York
Medical

when John
Connolly ran NYMC into the ground)?

In the old days, the police simply beat you up. Nowadays they take
your kids
and declare you insane. It's slightly more severe abuse to
whistleblowers. It
happened to a woman named Lynnae Lake as well, and soon after I posted
that to
my website, I got a call from the FBI- a phoney person named "Vince"
asking me,
over and over again, if I knew more about FamTrak.
http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/08/323581.shtml
http://www.fightcps.com/2005_08_14_archive.html

Lynnae Lake discovered a chemical company dumping in a lake, just like
Erin
Brockovich. Now these corporate creeps know how to deal with the Erin
Brockoviches of the world: DCF- since it's all SECRET KANGAROO COURTS
and even
bigger torture than being beaten up by the police.

Dear Mr. Altimari-

1) You forgot the part where they invent your bizarre crimes, declare you
crazy,
not allow you to address the court, get you a bag-job appointee lawyer like
Dan
Dilzer of Berlin, CT (Republican Party Chairman in the Town of Berlin), and
call
him a "Special Public Defender," not allow you a defense, and take your
property
and income,...
if you witnessed a State employee commit serveral very serious crimes.

Or, say Yale University committed a major research FRAUD crime.

This happened to me, and it happened to Lisa Masterson in the UK.

2) You forgot the part where State employees who witness other State employees
illegally roughing someone up, are harassed, false criminal charges are filed,
they're demoted, fired, issued death threats, and made to take a deal where
they promise to keep their mouths shut.

eg., Kristine Blake. We have her interviews on my website. She witnessed a
DMR
employee committing an injury upon a patient. Then all hell broke loose for
Kristine (she was interviewed on TV):
http://www.actionlyme.org/VIKING_INTERVIEWS.htm


3) You forgot the part where DMHAS "competency restoration" is about
threatening
you to take a plea deal, and where DMHAS invent several other non-incidents to
co-conspire with the other state employees that you are insane, and therefore
your claims of crimes committed by State employees, are not credible. No one
there (DMHAS, CVH) actually knows the law, so your can't ask questions about
the
courts, even though that's what "competency restoration" is supopsed to be
about.

Instead they (DMHAS) threaten you will losing your trial and a longer
sentence,
or not even having a trial, and being committed permanently to the State-
which
takes your property and income.


4) You forgot the part where DCF takes your kids and does not allow you a
defense,. You are not allowed to bring witnesses and you are not allowed to
enter evidence that shows the DCF is committing perjury or defrauded the
courts
with their Orders of Custody. You are not allowed to demonstrate that the
DCF's
perjurers are doing so to prevent criminal charges or lawsuits against
themselves for filing outrageously false allegations or committing other
crimes.

Whoever pulls the trigger first, wins. Some people know this, and others
don't
know know to game the system. Some people know that anyone can file whatever
false allegations they want, and others assume the law is enforced.

DCF has never prosecuted false allegations.

5) You forgot the part where habeous corpus has long been dead in
Coprrupticut.
I was not allowed to know what I was even being charged with for 7 weeks,
after
I was falsely arrested by AAG Jessica Gauvin who did not want to go to jail
for
several decades.

Judge Kevin McMahon ordered me to be removed from the jail and treated for
Lyme
in a hospital immediately after I was arrested. Gauvin and State's Attorney
Brett Salafia changed courts to get out of that Judge's order. Then I got
Jdge
Espinosa who refused to even allow me to address the court.

Republican Town Committee Chairman Dan Dilzer refused to accept all the
evidence
that every single one of the false criminal charges against myself were false.
TWICE. I have witnesses. On the second occasion, someone named "RELL" called
Dan Dilzer, and the call was put through. (Sept 29, 2005).


It's the unions. They cover for each other's crimes. That's why this is
only
the tip of the iceberg in reported deaths and other crimes against people who
are not mentally ill. but political prisoners, or victims of their own
families'
abuse.

6) The other important data item is the disproportionate numbers of white
people
in psych klinks than blacks. There are 2 reasons for this: A) Black people
are
less likely to witness a serious crime committed by white people, and B) The
obvious discrimination. If Republicans beive balck people are hopelessly
retarded, why are few to none of them ever declared incompetent to stand
trial?

DMHAS's CVH "compentency restoration" unit is filled with almost all white
people victims of the State, whereas the prisons are mostly black. If black
people are retarded as the AEI and Republican Party believe, why aren't there
an
even greater percentage of black people at CVH than in the prisons?


7) You forgot the part where the local FBI protects CT State criminal
employees
and never does their job. I have tangled with them, and demonstrated numerous
crimes committed by State employees, and so has a friend of mine.

FBI does not do their job, and the union members are all morons.


Anyone can be bitten by a tick and get ALS or MS, or Lupus or something
similar.
It is not a character flaw to be bitten by a tick.
http://www.actionlyme.org/Schoen.htm My kids are congenitally infected.

It's not a character flaw to be bitten by a tick and also be a chemist who
specializes in methods validations, and discovered that Yale committed a huge
crime. Yale knew all along LYMErix did not prevent Lyme.

FBI does not prevent the harassment of Lyme victims and neither does the US
Attorney Kevin O'Connor. Neither does DCF, whose job it is to protect
children
and see that they get adequate healthcare.

Many Restraint Deaths Unreported

Despite A Federal Law Requiring Facilities To Disclose Fatalities, Some Still
Don't, Report Says

By DAVE ALTIMARI
Courant Staff Writer

October 14 2006

More than 100 patients in psychiatric hospitals and other medical facilities
across the U.S. died while being restrained from mid-1999 to late 2004, but
only
60 deaths were reported to the government as required by law, a new study
concludes.

The report comes eight years after The Courant revealed that at least 142
patients died from 1988 to 1998 after being restrained or secluded, a
revelation
that led to legislation requiring hospitals to report such deaths or risk
losing
Medicaid funding.

In its recently released report, the Office of Inspector General for the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services found that 104 patients died between
August 1999 and December 2004. The report does not identify the medical
facilities or patients.

The Courant's 1998 series "Deadly Restraint" revealed that at least 142
patients, the majority young children or teenagers, had died during or shortly
after being restrained or put into seclusion over 10 years. Both the new
government report and The Courant's investigation included deaths in
psychiatric
hospitals, acute care facilities, rehabilitation centers and long-term
treatment
centers.

Patients are restrained when they are strapped to beds and chairs with leather
straps and wrist cuffs, or wrestled to the floor and pinned down.

After The Courant's series ran, Connecticut's congressional delegation led
efforts to tighten laws involving restraint and seclusion.

"It's pretty disappointing that after this problem was exposed and the
Connecticut delegation took action that nothing seems to have really changed,"
said Curt Decker, the executive director of the National Disability Rights
Network.

One of the legislators involved in passing legislation in 1999 called the new
report "tragic."

"These findings by the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of
Inspector General are both tragic and alarming," Sen. Christopher Dodd,
D-Conn.,
said. "Years after the federal government correctly acted to end the
inappropriate use of seclusion and restraint, this OIG report makes clear that
hospitals far too often still rely on deadly restraint practices and fail to
report resulting deaths. That means we may not be getting accurate reads on
the
extent of the problem, which is unacceptable."

In its report, the inspector general's office indicates more deaths may have
occurred than it was able to uncover.

The agency tracked deaths by gathering data from the federal government's
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services or CMS, as well as sending surveys to
state agencies that oversee hospitals, advocacy agencies in each state and the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which gets reports on deaths involving
medical devices such as mechanical restraints.

Investigators didn't try to collect data from individual hospitals and also
did
not get responses from agencies in nine states.

"Because of this missing information, our analysis may undercount the number
of
deaths that hospitals did not report as required. Furthermore, the number of
deaths related to restraint and seclusion may be understated because our data
collection was limited," the report says.

Among the report's findings:

CMS and state agencies do not consistently take action in response to reported
deaths in a timely manner, which limits their ability to address potentially
harmful conditions.

CMS does not maintain comprehensive and reliable information about reported
deaths related to restraint and seclusion and does not track deaths
accurately.

State agencies do not provide regular guidance on the reporting requirement.
Only 52 percent of the state agencies indicated that, at some point, they had
disseminated information to hospitals about the reporting requirement.

CMS regional offices do not request information from other agencies about
hospital deaths related to restraint or seclusion, which would enable CMS to
identify some unreported deaths.

The inspector general concluded that stronger penalties must be in place if
hospitals aren't going to comply. Under the current law the only penalty that
can be imposed is to take away Medicaid or Medicare funding from the
institution, a drastic step but one that is never taken, Decker said.

The report recommends giving CMS authority to impose civil penalties if a
death
is not properly reported.

Civil penalties were included in original federal legislation proposed by Dodd
and U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, D-Conn., but were removed after complaints
from hospital associations.

Dodd said Friday it may be time to look at more legislation to end restraint
deaths.

"The OIG report clearly indicates that more must be done. I intend to
carefully
review the report's recommendations and stand ready to look at any and all
options - including legislation - to end the deadly use of restraints and
ensure
accurate and timely reporting of restraint-related deaths," Dodd said.

CMS officials could not be reached for comment Friday, but in their response
to
the inspector general's report they acknowledged the reporting system was
flawed.

"While the OIG stated that many of the deaths were reported, we are concerned
that not all hospitals reported all deaths," wrote CMS Administrator Dr. Mark
B.
McClellan.

McClellan said his agency is considering simplifying requirements for hospital
reporting and instructing its regional offices to periodically contact the
surveyed agencies and other federal agencies to request information regarding
restraint and seclusion-related deaths.

The agency also plans to issue a memorandum to ensure that regional offices
and
surveyed agencies receive written instructions that reinforce the hospital
death
reporting timelines. Deaths are supposed to be reported within two days of the
incident.

Decker said there has to be a multi-faceted approach that includes
strengthening
the penalties, making CMS do their jobs properly and putting more funding into
"on the ground agencies" that can perform inspections and uncover unreported
deaths.

"Without all three of those components it won't be a system that will work,"
Decker said.
