Publisher's Statement T h i s book, " D e s t r o y the A c c u s e r , " by veteran newspaperman F r e d e r i c k Seelig is the f i r s t of its kind i n A m e r i c a . It is i n c r e d ible that a man could experience the t o r t u r e here i n A m e r i c a that M r . Seelig suffered i n the name of " m e n t a l health j u s t i c e . " T h i s v i c t i m , unlike others he knew, l i v e d to t e l l ; although it i s a question whether having to l i v e now l i k e a hunted a n i m a l i s w o r t h the s u r v i v a l . He was told that papers w e r e signed and ready to c o m m i t h i m permanently to an insane a s y l u m should he ever t e l l what he knew, and besides, he couldn't l i v e o v e r s i x months after what they had done to h i m . Y o u w i l l need a strong stomach to r e a d this s t o r y , but i f you p e r s i s t , it w i l l have p r e p a r e d you for what i s i n store for any c i t i z e n daring to object to p e r v e r s i o n , W o r l d G o v e r n m e n t , or u n constitutional edicts by arrogant o f f i c i a l s . To study the case of F r e d e r i c k Seelig i s to r e c o i l i n h o r r o r f r o m the c l e a r - c u t inference that the rights of the i n d i v i d u a l a r e not r e c o g n i z e d under our present s y s t e m of j u r i s p r u d e n c e . F r e d e r i c k S e e l i g ' s p e r s o n a l experience i s such that S o c i e t y must r e cognize h i s rights have not been p r o t e c t e d . A s a r e s u l t of the "treatment" to w h i c h he was subjected by his " j a i l e r s , " he i s suffering i n d e s c r i b a b l e pain with a nervous s y s t e m that s i m p l y has been shredded. A f o r m e r m e m b e r of the C o n g r e s s , T o m W e r d e l , a fighting attorney who has r e t u r n e d to p r i v a t e p r a c t i c e , s a i d this man's life was i n danger and indeed he d i d p o s s e s s knowledge that was dangerous . M o s t i m p o r t a n t i n the eyes of F r e d e r i c k S e e l i g a r e those two l i t t l e c h i l d r e n who were a w a r d e d by our C o u r t s into a life of h o m o s e x u a l i t y . B e a s s u r e d , as the evidence w i l l develop, M r . Seel i g not only has evidence that his daughter i s being abused by ho m o s e x u a l s i n an environment she was f o r c e d into by the C o u r t O r d e r w h i c h p l a c e d her i n this u n c e r t a i n custody, but he has medi c a l t e s t i m o n y f r o m the f a m i l y on this p l e a . How can any responsible c i t i z e n of the R e p u b l i c r e m a i n indifferent? Can persons of h o m o s e x u a l i n c l i n a t i o n s adopt c h i l d r e n who a r e furnished to them by a State A g e n c y ? W i l l S o c i e t y p e r m i t such wanton d i s r e g a r d to the " c i v i l r i g h t s " of innocent c h i l d r e n ( to be so t r a m p l e d upon) that they a r e g i v e n into a life of bondage to furn i s h p l e a s u r e to the d i s t o r t e d appetites of t h e i r c a p t o r s - - S t a t e selected homosexuals. If you can deem this to be "none of your b u s i n e s s " you have been b r a i n w a s h e d to a r e m a r k a b l e degree. I cannot believe that any C h r i s t - l o v i n g , C h r i s t i a n p a t r i o t i c A m e r i c a n can p o s s i b l y be so short - sighted. I do have confidence that F r e d e r i c k Seelig, given h i s "day i n C o u r t " - - c a n prove his contentions to the point that the p u b l i c w i l l demand l e g i s l a t i o n to o u t l a w t h i s d i a b o l i c pract i c e and the State w i l l be c o m p e l l e d to make r e d r e s s of g r i e v a n c e s to this p a t r i o t who, i n effect, has suffered for e v e r y parent who might, for some reason, have to leave his c h i l d under state care for a t i m e .

C U S T O D Y T O H O M O S E X U A L PERVERTS
Victims of *Greaf Society' Obscenityl Federal agencies stooped to a new perversion sewer low in the Los Angeles County homosexual-cesspool when custody of Sandra, II, and her brother, Edward Sealig, 10, was given to proven homosexual degenerates. The Justice Department seized and destroyed evidence. Their father was silenced by political tyranny imprisonment. It conformed with White House policy similar to protection given homosexual Walter Jeniclns, to Presidential aide of LBJ and "intimate" for 25 years. The Disciples of Sodomy and other anti-Christian minorities are a sinister power in the government.

I a m haunted by the p i c t u r e of that innocent l i t t l e g i r l i n the a r m s of a m o n s t e r w i t h t e r r o r e x p r e s s e d i n her one v i s i b l e eye. The poor father must have been d r i v e n nigh m a d by that p i c t u r e alone. What you a r e about to r e a d i n these pages i s the pathetic and t e r r i b l e s t o r y of that poor father's efforts to r e s c u e h i s two l i t t l e c h i l d r e n f r o m unspeakable d e p r a v i t y . It begins as one man's stor y ; it becomes the s t o r y of a whole nation that i s v i s i b l y dying of m o r a l gangrene. That i s why this s t o r y i s a challenge to the w e l l - h e e l e d p a t r i otic and c o n s e r v a t i v e organizations that a r e f o r e v e r t e l l i n g us they a r e going to save the nation. F r e d S e e l i g ' s s t o r y says to them: put up o r shut up. H e r e i s a s p e c i f i c case that can be i n vestigated. H e r e i s c o r r u p t i o n that can be exposed--the v i l e s t c o r r u p t i o n extending, it seems, to the highest p l a c e s . It may not be too late to r e s c u e the two c h i l d r e n . It c e r t a i n l y i s not too late to follow the t r i a l of the beastly people who made those c h i l d r e n s e r v e t h e i r p e r v e r t e d l u s t s . A n d i f the t r a i l leads to high p u b l i c o f f i c i a l s , so m u c h the w o r s e . F o l l o w i t to the top. G e t the facts; get the proof. If judges, p u b l i c p r o s e c u t o r s , and some rotten A t t o r n e y G e n e r a l be guilty of c o m p l i c i t y i n this c r i m e - - s e n d t h e m a l l to p r i s o n for the m a x i m u m . T h i s i s a job for a r e p o r t e r - - a r e p o r t e r , i f I may be so i m modest, with the energy, the tenacity, and the i n t e l l i g e n t courage of the W e s t b r o o k P e g l e r of twenty y e a r s ago. T o such a r e p o r t e r I would say: " T h i s s t o r y can be c r a c k e d - - c r a c k e d wide open f r o m C a l i f o r n i a to Washington and back a g a i n . G o to the beginnings.

called "therapy in the name of science." The same Communist psychiatric methods are used by the U. S. Justice Department. Arrests are made on charges with no intent to permit trial; quickly substituted is subterfuge psychiatric prosecution. Within a few days after being incarcerated, the political p r i soner was thrust into a "special" strip-nude drain hole for Pavlovian "music therapy" to soften his mind and brain. A loudspeaker concealed in a wall ventilator, covered by heavy mesh steel wire, emitted shrill, high-intensity ultra sound played continuously day and night from a tape recorder. Blasts of cold air gushed out of the ventilator at intervals. Huddled on the cement floor in a corner of the cell, he closed the palms of his hands over his ears in futile effort to muffle the din. Within minutes he lapsed into a stupor and then unconsciousness. His mind couldn't cope with the sound vibrating in his head. Three days and nights he lay in a coma on the cement floor without food or water. Consciousness was regained when the "music" ceased. His head throbbed with the sound vibrating in his mind for weeks afterward. The Federal prison psychiatrists entered his cell daily and made notes on the effects on his mind and the extent of damage, if any, to his brain. If you are shocked and appalled to stomach much more - -then close this book now! Thus far what has been disclosed is mild in comparison to what is yet to be revealed. A l l is substantiated by documentation, transcripts of court records, petitions, affidavits and motions denied hearings.
*** The writer was the political prisoner who crawled for food in the drain hole. Behind my imprisonment is a sordid story of rigged and corrupt proceedings by the Justice Department in the Federal courts to cover up homosexual and communist influence in government corruption. My two children were the pawns in this pervert corruption. For nearly two years I was the political prisoner of the late President John F , Kennedy and his brother, Robert Kennedy, then the Attorney General who directed the savagery of the Justice Department. Now he is a U. S. Senator with aspirations for the Presidency! Kennedy imprisoned me at the so-called Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri. It is image-built under the label of being a "hospital" and a "mental institution, " but it is neither. It is a hard-core, hell-hole penitentiary where young doctors are indoctrinated and trained in Communist psychiatric torture. Prisoners are used as guinea pigs in experiments. For three years, starting in 1957, I had tried to safeguard my little daughter and son from an abominable life of homosexuality. But the homosexual and Communist perversion corruption in the Los Angeles County Superior Courts, administrative agencies and the State of California was such that I sought and was refused hearings and investigation. In behalf of my children I brought charges against the county 8
and state officials for protecting homosexuals and exposing my children to sexual degenerates. Had any of the charges not been true I would have been arrested and prosecuted for libel. But they knew I had ponderous evidence of p roof and witnesses to substantiate the charges I had made; a libel trial would have exposed the rampant homosexuality and communism in government--state and Federal! Threats were made that unless I was mute on what I had uncovered, I'd be imprisoned for alleged insanity. Both major political parties were concerned because the organized homosexuals had a tremendous 'slushfund' and were financing local, state and national candidates in the elections. Photocopies of pictorial evidence against the homosexuals r e garding my daughter and son, Sandra and Edward Seelig; obscene letters written by homosexuals telling of their activities and affidavits of witnesses were sent to the Los Angeles County Probation Department, the involved judges of the Superior Courts, County Supervisor Warren Dorn, the Board of Supervisors, the Grand Jury, District Attorney William McKesson and the presiding Superior Court Judge, Louise Burke. Investigation and hearings were asked and plead for the safeguarding and protection of my children. I reiterated the charges to Carter Coker, the District Attorney's investigator, and told him what I had uncovered; how the children had been kept in a Venice shack where they were sexually abused and maltreated, had gone hungry and without baths, and of the neighbors feeding them. In Santa Monica Superior Court, Judge Edward Brand favored the homosexuals, refused to ask the Grand Jury to investigate the criminality, or Marylouise Rymal and Gloria Busch, the county social service workers, who upheld homosexuality for children and had exposed them to perverts. The homosexuals and operators of pervert bars had threatened to kill the children if I released what I had learned or the documented proof on their nationwide operations and international links with the Communist Party to undermine sexual laws and moral codes; the homosexual-Communist "slush funds" used in California and national elections! The Los Angeles County officials and judges knew of those threats and the "slush funds. " The county social service workers and Judge Brand used the children as emotional weapons against the possible publication of what I had accumulated and would not tell me the whereabouts of my daughter and son. The welfare and safety of my children prevented making public disclosures. F r o m 1958 through I960 I did not cease my fight in behalf of my youngsters. Practically every week I was in Judge Brand's chambers for custody hearings. The homosexual attorneys, their pervert clients, and county officials, including Probation Department Director Karl Holton, accused me of "imagining" charges~ despite evidence and witnesses. They accused me of being "psychiatrically ill" in my aversion to homosexuals. My records show that on January 12, 1959, I sent a registered letter to the Grand Jury with a petition and complaint against Marylouise Rymal, Gloria Busch, Judge Brand and K a r l Holton, r e 9

questing an investigation, hearing of witnesses and examination of evidence to determine the validity of the charges. February 25, 1959, the Grand Jury replied. It refused to give a hearing! On July 20, I960, a sworn statement was sent by registered mail to Governor Edmund Brown. An excerpt follows: "Homosexual bar operators and other perverts, in the presence of witnesses, boasted they had supported you and Attorney General Stanley Mosk with "slush funds" in your election campaign and of their influence and power in the courts and the government. Request hearings and investigation into the organized homosexual corruption in the Superior Courts and state government as well as the pervert "slush funds." Governor Brown was silent--but, I didn't know until after mv release from the Federal penitentiary in 1962 that John F . Kennedy, then a U. S. Senator with aspirations for the Presidency, had in May and June of 1959 been quietly seeking all the information he could get on the evidence and material I had against the Brown Democratic "liberal" regime, the nationwide organized homosexuals in political activities and how damaging it would be in his quest for the Presidency! Pat Cooney, a Los Angeles attorney and reported henchman for Joseph Kennedy, the billionaire father who was notorious for buying elections and judgeships, made the probe on evidence I had. Cooney also reportedly was buying up California Democratic delegates for JFK's Democratic nomination for the Presidency in I960! It was in the closing days of the Eisenhower administration that Attorney General Herbert Brownell kept me incommunicado in the Texas Potter County Jail. After J F K took office in the White House, his brother, Robert, took up with a vengeancewhere Brownell left off. Twice, FBI agents, in Los Angeles in 1958 and early in I960 in Baltimore, interviewed me extensively on what I had uncovered nationally and internationally on the Communist-homosexual syndicalism and on the charges I was making against Los Angeles County officials, judges, and homosexuals. They told me they had no authority for any action except to make a report to the Justice Department. Both gave me friendly warnings that what I had uncovered put me in a precarious political position. In late 1959, in Washington, I met with newsmen in the National Press Club whom I knew and had worked with as long as twenty years; including Leo Farrell, who had been a Democratic Party press liason aide for Harry Truman. With their aid I obtained revealing portions of testimony given in the 1950 U. S. Senate hearings on homosexuals and Communsits in the government; that testimony has never been released to the public. President T r u man, following the protective policy of Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1951 sealed the transcripts by an Executive Order. That testimony substantiated the charges made by Senator Joseph McCarthy for which he was vilified by the Communists, homosexuals and pseudo-Americans posing as "liberals."
11
The lives and future of my small children were at stake and I refused to be silent. That led to my arrest on a Federal misdemeanor charge of mailing alleged libelous matter. The arrest took the "hook" off the Los Angeles County and California State officials! Since the political power of the organized homosexuals is nationwide, reaching into both parties, the White House and all government agencies, the Kennedys were accomodating to the C a l i fornian "liberals and moderates. " There was no intent either to allow me to see my children and know of their activities or to put me on trial for libel; collusion between the California officials, the Justice Department and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare saw to that! Robert Kennedy's Justice Department substituted a subterfuge --Communist-created psychiatric penal prosecution. The Justice Department then confiscated all my files of evidence, property, and assets worth $60, 000. 00 so I would be impoverished. What better way to prevent a defendant from obtaining counsel and to silence him with Communist psychiatric imprisonment where he can be incapacitated and destroyed? That is exactly what the image-built and deified Kennedys did with the power of the Justice Department and politically stacked Federal Courts. But it took seven corrupt and rigged psychiatric prosecution proceedings in two Federal districts and over 150 violations of the B i l l of Rights, Articles of the Constitution and American jurisprudence codes to imprison me! Three times I was transported across the country shackled in chains, leg-irons and handcuffs; starved, degraded, demoralized and humiliated. Clothing rotted off my body; maltreatment caused toe-nails to curl into the flesh. For weeks my toes were caked with blood. It didn't take long to learn that Americans no longer have B i l l of Rights protection against political tyranny imprisonments. Often I wondered what country's laws or constitution prevailed--Sodom, Talmud, United Nations or Soviet Russia--and if I was still in the United States! For a certainty it wasn't anything American from December 2, I960 through November 1962; nor from 1957 to i960 so far as my son and daughter were concerned. Statutes mandate court arraignment within 72 hours after an arrest. Instead, I was "railroaded" as "insane" to a Texas F e d eral hospital-prison without a doctor's examination, a hearing, appearing in court, or being represented by counsel. A Texas Federal Medical Board found me sane and competent with a high IQ after 30 days of exhaustive medical tests. Now the Justice Department had to find another way to prevent my libel trial and its disclosures--a falsified motion to transfer case and trial to Southern California was filed. Eighty-four days after my arrest I made my first court appearance. Two weeks later, sheriff aides in L,os Angeles County Jail r e fused to be a party to violation of the B i l l of Rights when they learned I had not been arraigned for more than three months. They notified the U. S. Attorney's office I would be freed the next morning unless I was arraigned. I was held on "open charges" and not allowed bail. 12
Thus it was, that after 114 days I was finally arraigned and given a preliminary hearing, although still not allowed bail, on a misdemeanor charge. Statutes mandate a prisoner must be a r raigned within 72 hours after arrest and allowed freedom on a reasonable bail. Up until now there were over 80 violations of the B i l l of Rights --now I was to be placed in "double jeopardy, " as the Los Angeles U. S, Attorneys re-instituted Communist psychiatric prosecution. This was easily done by the "rigging" of every proceeding in the Los Angeles Federal Courts that had no jurisdiction for any proceedings: I was not allowed a sanity trial. No witnesses nor evidence in my behalf was allowed. Recent Federal evidence attesting my sanity and competency was not allowed. I was denied return of confiscated evidence for my defense. Having been brought into this court by a falsified document, I was now to be judged, as to my sanity, a second time. Now, the U.S. Attorneys could not afford a second competent medical board —they brought in a charlatan, alleged doctor who was on the payroll of the very officials whom I had accused! The doctor testified as he was told by the government. His statements exonerated his employers of all charges against them as well as defended those implicated in homosexuality. Having seen me one time and without the benefit of a single test, he pronounced me, not only "legally insane for the last five years (which covered the entire period of the California corruption case) but a "homosexual who 'imagined' everyone else was. His testimony condemned me to penal, psychiatric torture. Millions of Americans are unaware that political imprisonments, rigged and corrupt politically-stacked courts, government slavery, torture and maiming of prisoners is happening in our United States. They have been brainwashed by psycho-political image-builders, managed news prostitutes, politically-stacked courts with liars and cheats in the highest offices. Although I had not been convicted of any offense. Judge Yankwich "sentenced" me to the Federal penitentiary for alleged "insanity" on the perjury of county "Psychiatrist, " Thomas Gore, a man, not only unqualified as a psychiatrist, but one with a c r i m inal record! I immediately wrote appeals petitions on violations of the Constitution, addressed to the Sanj Francisco U. S. Court of A p peals, dated A p r i l 3, 1961. The Los Angeles U . S . Marshal incepted the petitions, turned them over to the U, S. Attorney's office (where they were held for ten days), then, instead of mailing them to San Francisco, gave the petitions to the Los Angeles Federal courts for a quick denial of rights by Judge Harry Westover. This is but one example of the collusion between Federal Courts and the Justice Department in the "railroading" of a political prisoner. I was apprised of the denial while at Springfield Medical Center Penitentiary, May 10th--beyond the 30-day time limit for appeals. My road to appeal held every possible impediment: refusal to mail documents, mail held beyond time limits, threats, intimida13
tion, mental and physical punishment, and theft of records. C o pies of petitions, motions and excerpts from affidavits in the ap pendix disclose the torture, brutality, and cruelties inflicted by psychiatrists that would be too incredible to believe were they not substantiated by documentation. On August 31, 1961, notice was mailed to the San'Francisco Court of Appeals that I was filing a Certiorari petition in the U.S. Supreme Court on denial of Constitutional Rights. For a change, the San Francisco Appellate Court adhered to the B i l l of Rights. September 4th: "We will prepare a record for Certiorari petition in the above cause (No. 1195 Misc. ), advising you when it is forwarded to the Suoreme Court of the United States. " On January 16, 1962, D r . Richard Stamm, psychiatrist, and Senior Surgeon, USHS, chief Neuropsychiatric Service, informed my sister, M r s . Henry D, Klopfer, in Schenectady, N. Y, , that I was incurably insane and dangerous and she was to sign forms for electro-shock therapy which, he said, would cure me. She refused and, together with my son by a former marriage, began an investigation. Through this letter, my family and relatives first learned of my predicament. My sister wrote letters, made phone calls to U . S . Senators, Congressmen, and Federal officials and asked embarrassing questions. She received the current White House reply to charges of corruption and perversion--Silence! My son, Philip, instituted a running fight with the Springfield penitentiary for information and he, too, was threatened with psychiatric imprisonment. Had it not been for their defiance of Federal bureaucrats it is likely my brains would have been "broiled." However, I did not know the fight they were putting up for me as I was allowed no correspondence with relatives. For writing the following letter, my son was threatened with penal "therapy. " Kimbell Johnson, Director Bureau of Personnel Investigations U . S . Civil Service Commission Washington 25, D. C. re: File INA:WRP:lp and letter of 6/18/62. Dear M r . Johnson: Please note the enclosed photostat of a letter signed by D r . Richard Stamm. My father was railroaded into this socalled medical center oh the basis of a one-hour examination and a falsified report by a Thomas Gore, M . D. , in the U . S. District Court, Los Angeles. Not admitted into evidence was a report by a f i v e - m » n board of psychiatrists based on thirty days of tests and examinations at the U . S. Public Health Service Hospital, Fort Worth, Texas, finding my father to be sane and legally competent. Since being committed, my father has been denied legal counsel and has been subjected to sub-bestial, humiliating, and degrading treatment designed to break his resistance and reduce him to the level of his tormentors. Among those persons at the Federal Prison Medical Cen14
ter who are responsible for the i l l treatment and falsified reports concerning diagnosis and prognosis are: D r . R. O. Settle, warden and chief medical officer; D r s . Robin Nicholas, Richard Stamm, and Vanderstoep; Darlow Johnson, chief of classification and parole; George Geil, clinical psychologist; and Charles Keith. That these persons are incompetent and, in all liklihood, morally degenerate need not be said. The caliber of Civil Service employees has never been noteworthy, considering those Federal policies palatable only to subservient misfits. The Department of Justice and the administration are a l ready aware of some of the aspects of this case and have failed thus far to recognize complaints or to act in a manner befitting men of courage and integrity. Neither Kennedy will be benefitted by the aftermath of this case, politically. Yours truly, P h i l i p Seelig My appeals on constitutional and Americanism issues before the Supreme Court never had an iota of chance for traditional American justice. The issues were doomed before they were docketed and were buried in an ignoble judicial graveyard. The Supreme Court and Justice Department no doubt pleased the Kremlin. None of the B i l l of Rights issues nor the questions of the constitutionality of the Communist-American psychiatric were adjudicated on their legality. The Kremlin Politburo Jurists in Moscow couldn't have buried American Constitutional issues much deeper, nor with greater contempt, than did the Supreme Court in Washington. Intricate subterfuges of the Supreme Court, in collusive corruption of the Justice Department, undermined and destroyed my appeals casts with fraud and hoax decisions handed down June 18, 1962. It was the first case with the psychiatric politically explosive issues to reach the Supreme Court for a judicial showdown. Not until several years after my prison release did I learn the international implications that made Soviet psychiatry "untouchable" in American courts. After what I had experienced in Federal corruption, rigged proceedings and Pavlovian torture techniques, it didn't surprise me--but the Supreme Court and Justice Department deference to the Kremlin and the United Nations was chilling! It was obvious the American constitutional -Republic didn't exist anymore. It had been subverted into a cabal's subservient UN socialism democracy for a World Government deceptively called .The New Frontier Great Society. The Supreme Court decisions, partially written by the Justice Department, were only judicial "smoke-screens" to conceal the collusi6n, the massive corruption, the demise of American sovereignty and the unpublicized precedence against adjudicating legality of legislation emanating from the UnitedNations. Ignored by the Supreme Court were over 150 violations of the B i l l of Rights, Articles of the Constitution and American Jurisprudence Codes. Conveniently by-passed were rulings on the illegal confiscation of vast files of evidence, the seizure of the 15
children, $60,000.00 in assets and property that included clothing and everything I owned--even to a birth certificate! Also ignored were: action of the Los Angeles Federal Courts where they had no jurisdiction; the "double jeopardy" prosecution; rigged and corrupt proceedings; perjury; falsifying of documents; and the penal torture of unusual pimishment inflicted. None of the decisions were remotely related to the constitutional appeals issues, yet they gave the impression I had won my appeals case--but not one decision was carried out! Another precedence of infamy was established when the case was remanded back to Los Angeles Federal courts where the Supreme Court decisions were invalidated and I was quickly 'freed.' I was denied trial for alleged libel and a hearing on the illegal psychiatric imprisonment. Among the mandate decisions invalidated by Los Angeles F e d eral Judge Yankwich were vacating judgement, granting of C e r t i orari and forma pauperis. The Justice Department's Solicitor General, Archibald Cox, wrote the "joker" ruling that provided time for the invalidation of the decisions and the rigging of the eighth proceeding in Judge Yankwich's court allowing them to abruptly close the case and free me--but first to give the psychiatrists at the penitentiary ample time for Pavolovian torture techniques in the 10-D nerve breaking .cell to "persuade" me to sign a contract with an "approved attorney, " withdraw all pending actions, then incapacitate me, destroy my health, and deteriorate the mind and body! Prior to the Supreme Court decisions. Judge Yankwich had i s sued an order to permanently silence me in the St. Elizabeth's Federal Prison-Hospital for the criminally insane at Washington, D, C. Failing that, he ordered my transfer to any state insane asylum that would have me. When I was freed, I did not know the seriousness of my condition. It was painful to walk, even a short distance. Nervous systems are so damaged that biological functions continue to deteriorate; eventually, a "natural death" occurs. I had become a walking corpse. There were months of medical treatment and convalescence while doctors worked to alleviate the danger. Subsequently, I did considerable research to unravel the corruption that imprisoned me and tolearn what happened to the U.S. Constitution and how the sovereignty had been eradicated. The imprisonment was political expediency to silence me and confiscate the evidence accumulated on homosexual and Communist perversion of government agencies, the judiciary and White House. There are at least 250 reasons why President Lyndon B . Johnson, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Nicholas Katzenbach, Robert Kennedy, the Justice Department, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, the Internal Revenue Service, former California Governor Edmund Brown, State Supreme Court Justice Stanley Mosk, Los Angeles County District Attorney Evelle Younger; his predecessor William McKesson; County Supervisor Warren Dorn; a mialtitude of County Superior Court judges, including Edward R. Brand, Orlando Rhodes and Eugene Breightenbach; the County Probation Department's K a r l Holton and Harold Muntz;

brutalities. The prisoners 'who took part in that so-called riot, as well as many others only suspected of having taken part in it, who were able to walk, were marched into the 10South yard, lined up against the back wall, shackled, and then each was beaten into unconsciousness by the gviards who used baseball bats, pipes, and clubs. "This was an exemplary punishment (psychiatric therapy) administered in full view of all the prisoners quartered in the 10-South prison wing as part of the educational program offered to the prisoners. "One young prisoner who refused to participate in the riot and remained co.nfined in his cell throughout the entire incident was ordered out of his cell by the guards who smashed him to the floor with bats and pipes. The prisoner was then ordered to stand up. Aft«r he was beaten to the floor for the third time, he lost consciousness and died. The causes of this man's death received more 'doctoring' than his fatal wounds." The documents were filed in the Federal courts on June 2, 1964 and sworn to before notary Paul J . LaDow of Jackson, Michigan. This "incident" occurred during the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and U, S. Attorney General Herbert Brow nell. The petition was denied hearing and a redress of grievances by Kansas City Federal Judge William H . Becker, who upheld the right of the Justice Department to engage in prisoner atrocities on the grounds: "No substantial question worthy of consideration was presented." Judge Becker further stated: "It is not the function of the Court to involve itself in the regulation, treatment, or discipline of p r i soners or other matters of routine prison administration. " Carey's petition pointed out: "The significance of using prisoners of the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners as human dogs for Pavlovian experimentations in regards to the issues involved in this case becomes pellucid when it is realized that a 'clear mind cannot be brainwashed . , . '" Judge Becker, by his rulings, disregarded human and civil rights and upheld the savagery of Kremlin- created psychiatry. Medical authority, £idward Hunter, author of "Brainwashing," emphatically states: "Decent humanity has not the.right to permit people to be caught in a controlled environment and be made into guinea pigs for ultimate dehumanization under a perverted Pavlovian technique." The disclosures I am noaking should alert millions of A m e r i cans on the deceptive criminality of the political powers forcing totalitarian socialism with mental health policing of American minds. It was treasonably spawned on the United States by Franklin Roosevelt and traitors in the State Department, including A l ger Hiss, during secret agreements with Soviet Premier Josef Stalin and has been implemented by succeeding administrations. Dr. Meerlow, medical law expert, warns Americans: "In the totalitarian countries, where belief in Pavlovian 18
strategy has assumed grotesque proportions, the self-thinking, subjective man has disappeared. There is an utter r e jection of any attempt at persuasion or discussion. Individual self-expression is taboo. . . Peaceful exchange of thoughts will disturb the conditioned reflexes and is therefore taboo. No longer are there any brains, only conditioned patterns and educated muscles. In such a taming system neurotic compulsion is looked upon as a positive asset instead of something pathological. The mental automaton becomes the ideal education. " Not only was I subjected to diabolical torture but I got the full Pavlovian scientific "engineering" to induce a "natural death." For the first time in my life I had heart attacks. Nerve systems are so damaged under the intense pressure the biological functions continue to deteriorate after a prisoner is released from the penitentiary. The Federal psychiatrists, just like in Communist Russia, destroy prisoners without deaths occurring in prison or showing any visible evidence--scientifically timed for after a prisoner has been freed! I had five severe hemorrhages after I was freed. By the time a doctor got to me I had very little piilse left. Xrays showed my heart had been enlarged three times normal size. For three months I was in a private medical clinic. Much of the dannage was alleviated, but I am still incapacitated and most of this book was written in segments during the past four years. Very little has' been edited or updated. Throughout my imprisonment, no amount of torture, inhuman cruelties and pain exceeded my grief for my little daughter and son whose love, faith, and trust were always within me. In the solitude of the dungeon-like drain-holes I felt the hotne^s of thei* tears on my cheeks, the warmth of their little arms, as they pled with me not to let the social service workers again take them, in what was to be our last visit together. The love of the children provided the incentive to survive the penitentiary psychiatric ordeals, the endurance and will to live, to continue fighting for my freedom. But my children had no chance for a wholesome Christian life with me in prison. Nothing shocks me anymore on the perversion, corruption, deceit, treason or tyranny of the most immoral White House administration the nation has ever known. My remaining free is only a question of time in this socialistic democracy. It is likely, when I am located again, I'll be quietly picked up--simply disappear and not be heard from again. That is the way it is done in Communist Russia. It is not any different in a co-existence country. Time is running out--not only for me but for. anyone reading this book whose loyalty and allegiance is to the Republic and its Constitution. It is no longer a "conspiracy" or a plan for a socialist conquest of the United States. It is fait accompli and this nation is now the captive of socialist anti-Christians. The prison psychiatrists made clear it is dangerous for anyone with the temerity to oppose or dissent on the domestic and foreign policies speeding Sovietized Socialism or to question the constitutionality of legislatedUnitedNations ideologies. The least
19
anyone can expect is vilification of his character and attacks on his mentality. State and Federal courts, I experienced, cover up the corrupt practices of other State and Federal courts. Government agencies destroy incriminating evidence, juggle the files and records; conceal and eradicate criminal arrests, confine cases to court's chambers in "kangaroo proceedings" and then get rid of the accusers and their witnesses. Dr. Thomas L . Gore, the Los Angeles County Chief Psychiatrist, had been rigged in by Los Angeles U. S. Attorneys Laughlin and Francis Whalen (now a Federal Judge) and by the Justice Department under directions of the Attorney General, Robert Kennedy, for perjury to declare me "insane." Gore has a criminal record; he is a proven liar and imposter. Affidavits and sworn statements on Gore were sent to the Los Angeles County Grand Jury, the Federal Grand Jury, the Department of Justice, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, County District Attorney's office, the County Superior Courts, and to the California AttorneyGeneral, Stanley Mosk (now on the State Supreme Court). No hearing has been allowed on Gore or the evidence against him; State and Federal officials are silent. The Justice Department covering up for Gore means hundreds of persons in insane asylums and penal institutions cannot appeal on the legality of their imprisonment. A Tennessee Medical E x aminer filed a sworn affidavit stating that Gore is a paranoid (insane)! The disclosures on Gore's record were made by the DolanWhitney Detective Agency of Springfield, Massachusetts and Hartford, Conn. Dr. W . J . Core, Medical Examiner for Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee, stated in an affidavit that Gore was not a doctor nor a psychiatrist when he was employed as an administrative superintendent at Davidson County Hospital. E x cerpts from the affidavit, Los Angeles County Superior Court, file number 8349117: "The Board of Hospital Commissioners selected Thomas L . Gore . . . because of his alleged qualifications as an administrative man for the U. S. A r m y Medical Corps . . . not as a doctor . . . not as a psychiatrist and he did not act in the capacity of a psychiatrist. His 15 months at the hospital the majority of the time was . . . in violation of law. . . Gore castrated a patient without consent , . . Gore informed me in the Armed Forces he was a money lender . . . attempted to borrow money from me to lend Army personnel . . . the Board made a mistake engaging Gore, . . . in my opinion the man was indeed paranoic. I consider him a very sick man . , , 1 would not give faith or credit to any oath of his in a court of justice. " Other exceprts from the Dolan-Whitney investigation of Gore: "Gore spent, according to the information he provided the American Medical Association, from 1915 through 1939 in the U . S . Army Medical Corps. His American Psychiatric Association autobiography specifies that prior to 1949 he was in the 'Medical Corps of the U.S. Army and Private Practice' 20

atives of pictures of perverts involved; more than 40 letters in the handwriting of the homosexuals which were damaging not only to themselves, but revealed the nationwide organization of homosexuals. Also among the files were names and addresses of all witnesses, with dates and places of incidents involving sexual parties and immoral conduct in th^ presence of my children and statements made by the foster mother that my daughter had been sexually abused, as well as the children's doctor's confirmation of this fact. Prison Psychiatrist, Vanderstoep, told me "there is no place to go in the world to escape the new social order. . . . you may as well accept homosexuality for your children. You'll never see them again. " Disagreement or non-acceptance is diagnosed as-"rigidity of the mind, " a sociopathic disorder. Psychiatrically defined, that means "presently insane" in the opinion of the psychiatrists; prescribed to soften the "rigidity" is "punishment therapy" for "persuasive" mental health rehabilitation and that means proper thinking for the now social order of World Citizens! What can anyone do against perverted minds in the Federal government? The Justice Department, Department of Health, Education and Welfare and the Los Angeles County administration agencies made certain there was nothing I could do. Psychologist Nicholas, an executive aide to Warden Settle and Federal Bureau of Prisons liason officer for the Justice Department, told me if I refused to sign my children over to .the Los Angeles homosexuals --Attorney General Robert Kennedy had the authority to sign my name to any document he pleased. My children were signed over to the perverts, but not by my consent or signature! The homosexual, Walter Jenkins, was then top Presidential Aide to Lyndon B . Johnson, who evidenced the same "friendship" for homosexual Jenkins as F D R had for the child-molester. Undersecretary of State, homosexual Sumner Welles. Jenkins knew I was in Springfield! With a perverted White House and similar degenerates rampant in Federal agencies what chance did I or my children have for anything decent or honorable? Nine of the nearly fifteen months prior to the Supreme Court decisions I was kept in torture drain-holes and most of the other six months I was confined with mindless creatures. That made me a prisoner guinea pig of the psychiatric sadists, Holmaii, N i chols, Stamm and Keith. Hordes of psychiatrists from Europe, all trained in Communist psychiatry, are being brought into the United States yearly. Like the Federal prison psychiatrists, they are disciples of Sigmund Freud, the demented homosexual who claimed persons averse to homosexuality and sodomy are "paranoids! " Burger, Keith, Stamm and Nichols told me I was a "paranoid with a rigid mind" that had to be broken. Freud, of course, is one of their "gods." They are also devout students of the Soviet psychiatric scientists, Ivan Petrovich, Pavlov, K . I . Plantonov, M . Denisenke, G . Volborth, Y. Katkov, a n d A . R . Luria who created mental health psychiatry. 23

The Soviet p s y c h o p o l i t i c a l s c i e n t i s t s developed methods to deteriorate nerve systems and d i s r u p t functions of body organs and r e f l e x e s .

volunteers. Brush factory workers are paid on a piece-work basis. When their earnings reach forty dollars a month, the daily quota output is raised! It means less earnings and more work to maintain an increasingly higher quota--Soviet style! Prison guards administer the punishment, supervised by the psychiatrists. Brutalities, cruelties and torture are applied under the guise of therapy. The Greene County Bar Association has an agreement with the Federal Bureau of Prisons: Member lawyers will not take a suit for damages against the penitentiary personnel; nor will they institute proceedings calling for prosecution of psychiatrists or guards for torture or brutality. Prisoners who came from other Federal penal institutions told me the same conditions exist in all Federal prisons. Psychiatrists establish policing control over mind and body. In training for psychopolitical "mental health" the prisoners are referred to as a "captive population. " A high ratio of alleged prison insanity is artificially created. Psychiatrists put sane prisoners, serving sentences, on "status," i . e. psychiatrically i l l . For example, a prisoner who objects to working conditions, complains of brutality, or who violates p r i son rules, is put on "status." He is labeled under this "insanity status" until he submits to the standards established by the psychiatrists for his "thinking behavior and conduct. " This insanity record stays with him the rest of his life. When he has served his sentence, or is freed on parole or on a conditional release, his record shows a "mental incompetency" background. The record can be "used against him" at will, by any Government agency. The Medical Center is the only known Federal penitentiary used to imprison defendants without a trial or a conviction of an offense. The Veterans' Administration does not recognize the Medical Center as a hospital. This fact is partially evidenced in a letter to Dock P. Glenn, an unconvicted prisoner, in which he is denied pension benefits on the grounds that pension cannot be paid to a veteran while he's in prison. Glenn has served 10 years without a trial for an offense. Following is the letter: ''Veterans Administration Columbia, South Carolina In reply refer to 3019/211 September 6, 1962 C-4721 332 M r . Dock P. Glenn P . O . Box 4000 Springfield, Mo. Dear M r . Glenn: "Your claim for service connected disability was considered and disallowed and you were advised of the decision reached by our letter to you of March 2, 1945. (Note how long ago! ) "You are not entitled to non-service connected pension benefits at the present time as you have been imprisoned over 60 days and pension cannot be paid to a veteran while he is in prison.

"Your claim may be re-opened when you are discharged or released from the prison, if you will advise us when you are released. Very truly yours, T . R . McConnell, Adjudication Officer" Untold hundreds of young medical school graduates have been indoctrinated in Communist psychiatry and socialist ideologies at Federal prisons. They are also being trained at selected schools under Federally-financed mental health programs and by tax-exexempt foundation grants. The public reads and hears managed news propaganda glorifying humanitarian legislation for "equality rights for all minorities. " The managed news distortionists ballyhoo" mental health, psychiatry and psychologists--but do not tell of the brutality, torture and atrocities or that human beings are being used as guinea pigs for experiments in thought control and brainwashing. Nor do the government psychopoliticians or their agencies divulge that the Great Society's humanitarian "persuasive therapy" maims and kills prisoners, or that minds are impaired, or destroyed. The American Psychiatric Association on May 5, 1964, was instructed by Dr. Jack R. Ewalt, superintendent of the Massachusetts Mental Health Center in Boston, that "even the mentally sound who are against mental health and psychiatry are more deviate than many ambulatory schizophrenics. " Dr. Ewalt questioned what should be done about people who are not "mentally i l l " but have "little control over their aggressiveness. " He warned the psychiatrists they are irresponsible when they certify such people are not mentally i l l . Answers may be found in the statements of D r . Alfred Auerback, associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, and by President Johnson. Dr. Auerback told the nation's psychiatrists "the hard-core right-wing' of American patriots impute "evil intent on psychiatry and mental health workers. " F r o m out of the Kremlin psychiatry manual, documented in Congressional archives, is this instruction: "Should any whisper, or parnphlet, against psychopolitical (psychiatry) activities be published, it should be laughed into scorn, branded as an immediate hoax, and its purpetrators or publisher branded as insane. " President Johnson, in venting his hatred for opponents of Great Society socialism ideologies, publicly vowed that Federal agencies will liquidate the anti-communist conservative patriots whom he condemned as "extremists and lunatics. " Johnson followed the Kremlin and United Nations line in his 1965 State of the Union message by stating, "one out of every ten Americans is mentally i l l . "' Johnson admitted that 1,600 European doctors, reportedly trained in Communist psychiatry, were brought into the United States in 1964. He said 10, 000 more are needed to man the mental health centers and the psychiatric p r i sons being constructed. Over two billion dollars have been appropriated in recent yean to establish new psychiatric "prisons in the 50 states with targe 27

I quote f r o m the K r e m l i n manual d i r e c t i v e s to A m e r i c a n C o m m u n i s t s and Washington politburo: " Y o u must c a r r y f o r w a r d the m y t h that only the Europiean doctor i s competent i n the f i e l d of i n s a n i t y and thus excuse the high incidence of f o r e i g n b i r t h t r a i n i n g . . . no m o r e than t h i r t y y e a r s should be n e c e s s a r y to achieve our p s y c h o p o l i t i c a l p r o g r a m for conquest.

I became acquainted with an u n c o n v i c t e d p r i s o n e r by the name of B i l l P r o t h m a n f r o m K a n s a s C i t y . He told me of his s o r d i d background and of a F e d e r a l p s y c h i a t r i c r a c k e t in Kansas C i t y . Who else would know better than P r o t h m a n , since it c l e a r e d h i m of a l l c r i m i n a l felony charges including, he said, white s l a v e r y . A m o n g his other avocations, a c c o r d i n e to his statements, w e r e filming obscene and pornographic motion p i c t u r e s . A c c o r d i n g to P r o t h m a n , anyone who knows the "right l i b e r a l defense attorney" with "pipelines" into the K a n s a s C i t y U . S .

P r o t h m a n confided his attorney had the "right connections" and, since $3,000 was "chicken feed" to h i m , he was only too happy to give it to the defense attorney. The " p s y c h i a t r i c g i m m i c k " I was told, r e q u i r e s a "contact" i n the U . S . A t t o r n e y ' s office. A "deal" (it's c a l l e d a "plea") is made that the defendant is "too mentally i l l , " with an "undefinable p s y c h i a t r i c emotional ailment, " to go on t r i a l .

P r o t h m a n said the p r i s o n p s y c h i a t r i s t s were interested i n his "humanitarian sexual f r e e d o m f i l m s " and were making it easy for h i m to vacation 30 d a y s - - a t the expense of the U .

Prothman said it was fixed for his transfer to a Missouri state mental health institution where he'd spend one night and be freed the next morning as psychiatrically cured, so he could get back to the perversion business. It meant Medical Center psychiatric staff collusion in declaring that Prothman was too "mentally i l l " to face trial on criminal charges. Under the Federal statutes, criminal charges are dismissed against "mental incompetents. " And that is exactly what happened. Prothman, before he left Springfield, gave me his Kansas City home address as 4618 North Kenwood and his telephone number. Another prisoner with whom I became acquainted was Marvin.. About 40 years old now, Marvin was arrested by a U . S . Marshal while unloading cargo on an Alaska dock. He said he never was told why he was arrested and still doesn't know the charges filed against him. Instead of a hearing or an arraignment, said Marvin, he was transported to the Springfield penitentiary. For 15 years, seven days a week without a penny of pay, he has pushed a heavy trash cart around and around the tunnels. He was still there when I left, wondering When he'll ever get a trial for an alleged offense he doesn't know anything about. The p r i son psychiatrists periodically certify him as "insane. Another unconvicted psychiatric slave was Orville Coates* P 237. F o r five years, seven days a week he mopped and swept the tunnels. He was among the prisoners for whom I wrote petitions for Writ of Habeas Corpus that got them released from the p r i son. Writing a writ for a prisoner is a "crime" at the prison; for aiding Coates the psychiatrists hustled me to a solitary confinement drain-hole as "punishment therapy. " But it got Coa+es back to his Kentucky home town. Other victims of mental health psychiatry include: Marvin Lesky of northern California. Three years no trial or conviction. He was in penal servitude painting tunnel walls and offices and the outside woodwork of ten prison buildings. He may still be there. Hogan, a former labor union official in the construction field; Five years without trial or conviction. Hogan, with some wealth, managed to get a message out of the prison. He said he was a r rested by a U . S. Marshal for interstate transportation of his own tools! The Justice Department gave out a "managed news story" that Hogan was a "forgotten man" in prison on a "mix up" of records. But when Hogan told the psychiatrists he was going to expose them as frauds and had the money to do it, the Justice Department seized his funds and ordered him confined to a Springfield "rest home. " Brown, P-470. His back was broken by electro-shock therapy when the electric current was turned on although he had told attendants the straps holding him on the roller table were loose. His back was placed in a cast but, instead of being confined to the prison's hospital floor for medical attention, he was returned to Ward 2-2 West. Brown was having severe pain and I walked with him to the guards where he pleaded for a doctor. The guards said the doctors were at a party and he'd have to wait until the next day. In the morning Brown was found dead in his, cell. 30
A f t e r repeated e l e c t r o shocks persons are vinable to r e c o g n i z e anyone. The m i n d becomes blank.

" W h i l e w a i t i n g for the elevator i n the tunnel, a half dozen p r i soners and I watched three guards drag an unconvicted p r i s o n e r , w h o m we knew as " P o n c h o , " through the tunnel t o w a r d W a r d 2-1 East drain-hole cells. Poncho was s c r e a m i n g for m e r c y . He knew he was destined for e l e c t r o shocks.

N e i t h e r of the c l e r g y m e n showed m e r c y . Poncho, a C a t h o l i c , begged the p r i e s t not to let the p s y c h i a t r i s t s t u r n h i m into a mindr l e s s c r e a t u r e . The blows to his stomach and his head had h i m l i m p on the cement tunnel c o r r i d o r . The guards took h i s a r m s and dragged h i m off. That was the l a s t t i m e I saw Poncho.

Homosexual Power in Cabal Government Surfaces Politically-Stacked Courts The U . S. Justice Department, California State officials, the Federal and County Grand Juries of Los Angeles knew I was enroute to Los Angeles from Washington and-that I was traveling by Highway 66. By letters to all, and by public statements, I had informed them I would not stand for further stalling or denial of hearings on my evidence of the homosexual perversion corruption in Los Angeles County administrative agencies and courts. For more than a year I had been denied knowledge of the whereabouts of my daughter and son. I had evidence and witnesses the children had been exposed to homosexual degenerates. My little daughter was sexually abused and both my son and daughter were in the hands of the perverts. The Juvenile Court of Santa Monica and Judge Edward Brand r e fused to allow hearing of witnesses or evidence of it. He also refused to submit it to the Los Angeles County Grand Jury. When I tried my efforts were blocked. I requested Judge Louis Burke, then presiding judge of the Superior Courts, to put the case before the Grand Jury. He refused on grounds that he'd not subject Judge Brand or the Probation Department to investigation. Since then Governor Brown has appointed Burke as a Justice on the California. State Supreme Court. A tight hush was being maintained on the homosexual perversion corruption conditions in Los Angeles County. The political influence of both liberall Democrats and Republicans was more than obvious. But two little children were at stake and I had no intention of giving up. My persistent demand for action by the Justice Department on their denial of due process of law in behalf of my children was climaxed in my being arrested in Clovis, New Mexico, where I had gone into the Post Office to the General Delivery window to pick up forwarded m a i l on December 2, I960. A deputy U . S. marshal, named White, from Amarillo, stepped up and took me into custody for mailing alleged libelous matter in Texas concerning the p e r v e r s i o n charges I had been making for nearly three years against Los Angeles County officials and judges of 33
the Santa M o n i c a S u p e r i o r C o u r t s . F o r more than two years hearings had been denied on those charges and none of those officials had d a r e d to charge me with l i b e l . But now my F e d e r a l a r r e s t took the "heat off" the C a l i f o r n i a homosexuals, the State and L o s A n g e l e s County D e m o c r a t i c a d m i n i s t r a t i o n officials and judges. M y l a s t letter, m a i l e d a few days p r i o r to m y a r r e s t , posted f r o m A m a r i l l o , follows: " M r . Laughlin Waters, U . S . Attorney, Los Angeles, California " S i r : I have just l e a r n e d that M r s . C a l Watts, 1709 B r i g don Road, Pasadena, foster mother, f r o m whose home Sand r a and E d w a r d Seelig, m i n o r s , had been i l l e g a l l y s e i z e d , F e b r u a r y 10th, 1959, l a t e r c o v e r e d up by Judge E d w a r d B r a n d ' d o c t o r i n g ' court e n t r i e s , died of a heart attack s h o r t l y after I left L o s Angeles this past s u m m e r . " M r s . Watts had also made charges against M r s . G l o r i a B u s c h , M r s . M a r y L o u i s e R y m a l and the homosexuals and was refused hearings by Judge B r a n d . She would have t e s t i fied against the homosexuals and the p e r v e r t e d s o c i a l s e r v i c e w o r k e r s i f she could have had a hearing on the c r i m e s she knew about. " L a s t September, on my r e t u r n to L o s A n g e l e s , P r o b a t i o n Officer J a m e s D i s c o e was 'gagged' and not allowed to see me, talk to m e , or appear at any h e a r i n g ; a l l i n v o l v e d had left the city so that they could not be subpoenaed. " T h e r e i s c r i m i n a l c o n s p i r a c y between State and County officials with o r g a n i z e d homosexual attorneys to c o v e r - u p , suppress the fraud, c o r r u p t i o n and c r i m e s , and i t has been evidenced by the refusal and blocking of hearings on those c r i m e s for two and a helf y e a r s . " H o m o s e x u a l attorneys c l a i m that an a c c u s e r i s ' e m o t i o n a l l y d i s t u r b e d ' - - ' m a k i n g r i d i c u l o u s charges Which were i m a g i n e d ' - - o r that he is a ' m e n t a l case who should be h o s pitalized. ' " O r g a n i z e d homosexuals c o n t r o l C a l i f o r n i a G o v e r n m e n t , and L o s Angeles County. The J u s t i c e department has had ample evidence of this as w e l l as the v i o l a t i o n of c i v i l rights and due p r o c e s s of law by the preventing of h e a r i n g s . " W e n d e l l Stanton, A s s i s t a n t U . S.

"Why is the J u s t i c e Department i g n o r i n g the homosexual p e r v e r s i o n of government and the j u d i c i a r y ? " A l s o , I was p u b l i c l y demanding that the death of M r s . Watts be investigated for the r e a s o n that the two p e r v e r t e d L o s A n g e l e s County S o c i a l S e r v i c e w o r k e r s knew of her heart condition when they created a disturbance i n her home to seize m y daughter and son without a court o r d e r or hearing on it. M r s . Watts' death was not the only induced heart attack i n the h i s t o r y of the h o m o sexual case! T h e r e w e r e many other reasons why the homosexuals, C a l i f o r n i a S t a t e and F e d e r a l officials would want me silenced. 34
Instead of arraigning me or allowing a preliminary hearing in a New Mexico Federal Court, U . S . l^^rshal White picked up my luggage and sped me by auto back to Amarillo, Texas. On the way he told me there was a nationwide search underway along my route westward and a dragnet to prevent me from reaching C a l i fornia. He also said about fifty officers were about to make a house to house search for me in Clovis when I went into the Post Office. It had cost the American taxpayers thousands of dollars to stop me from reaching California! When we got to Amarillo, U . S . Marshal White booked me on an "open charge" in the Potter County Jail. A week after my arrest, U. S. Marshal White took me to his office where he made a longdistance call t o U . S. Attorney William West in Fort Worth. For about fifteen minutes U . S. Attorney West discussed my case with me. I told him nothing I hadwritten was libelous and I had more than enough evidence, affidavits, pictorial proof and about 40 pervert letters. I asked him if my trial could be transferred to Los Angeles. He said it was impossible because he was asking the Federal Grand Jury for an indictment charging me with mailing libelous matter in the Northern District of Texas. That meant my trial could only be held in the Texas Federal District Courts. West told me the Department of Justice wanted the libel trial in Amarillo. I asked him if I could appear before the Grand Jury with my evidence. I told him I had other evidence and material I believed the Grand Jury should see. He said it would be arranged, asked me to send him a statement on the background of the case, list the documents, affidavits, pictorial proof and what I had on organized homosexuals in government. He told me he would order White to have my typewriter in my jail cell, give me the files and what I needed from my luggage. Before I returned the phone to White, I told West I had been subjected to maltreatment in the jail, a starvation diet of one meal a day, kept in a cockraoch infested cell and I was not allowed to mail letters to friends or relatives. West told me he would have White check into it. (sic. ) White had me moved to a cleaner cell, sent over the typewriter, the files and a duplicate set of photocopies of documents, affidavits by witnesses, pictorial proof and letters from Los A n geles County Officials which substantiated the perversion influence charges. I typed a 20-page statement, naming witnesses, giving addresses and enclosed in the large envelope the duplicate set of photocopies. Several weeks later, on the morning of January 2, 1961, an attorney named Reynold Gardner came to see me. He was the first lawyer I was allowed to speak with. Most of his business came from the county jail. I told county jail officials to pay him $100. 00 from my funds to get me into court on a writ of habeas corpus. I had not been arraigned or given a preliminary hearing nor made a court appearance for more than thirty days. I also authorized him to take custody of my property and send it to my relatives. That was the last I saw of Attorney Gardner! That is how the Justice Department keeps a political prisoner in a vise. A few hours later jail deputies and county officials came to my 35
c e l l , c o n f i s c a t e d m y t y p e w r i t e r , evidence files and m a t e r i a l . Conley, a j a i l official, looked at some of the p e r v e r t p i c t u r e s and photocopies of affidavits; tore them up and told me I would not be needing them. The o r i g i n a l s were i n m y luggage i n the U . S. M a r s h a l ' s office. On the fourth day I was taken to the office of D r . Robert W. R a z o r , an a d m i n i s t r a t i v e executive of the h o s p i t a l . He was s u r p r i s e d when I a s k e d why I was there. He gave me a copy of the A m a r i l l o F e d e r a l C o u r t o r d e r , signed by Judge Joe Dooley. It was a committment for a sanity examination for 30 days. U . S . A t t o r n e y West had obtained the o r d e r on his "opinion" and that of a p o s t a l i n s p e c t o r . I was "insane" on the basis of what I had written. The M o t i o n by the U . S .

The proceedings violate multiple constitutional rights, Rules of Court Procedures and disregard prior U. S. Supreme Court precedent rulings on tyranny imprisonments being unconstitutional in denying civil rights. Violated at the January 3rd proceedings were: The 6th Amendment: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall . . . be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. "
*** "That one's rights may not be litigated without his authority is an inherent right guaranteed by the 'due process of law' clause of the Fifth Amendment. " (Const. Mont. art. 3, 27. )
*** Martin v. Settle, U . S . Supreme Court, 192 F . Supp. 156. . . "A full hearing for an accused at which he has a right to be present. The committing court has the power of determination of the accused's incompetence, and that duty cannot be discharged with the accused in absentia. "
*** Rule . . . Riile sel .
43 for Federal Courts: "The defendant shall be present at every stage of the trial (proceedings). " 44: " . . . the court shall advise him his right to coun. . to represent him at every stage of the proceedings.
*** The confiscation violated the 4th Amendment: "The right of the people to be secure . . . against seizures shall not be violated. " The Federal Medical Center seizing and keeping my office supplies, expensive books and other items, violated the 5th Amendment: " . . . nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. " According to law, it is a criminal offense for anyone, not qualified or licensed, to engage in medical practice. But it would be too much in a tyranny democracy to expect Government Executive cheats, liars, scoundrels and traitors when they get into political power to comply with constitutional law. Neither the Kennedys nor the Johnson riff-raff in the White House and cabinet do--any more than Fort Worth U . S. Attorney West did. West and the Post Office inspectors are laymen without medical qualifications or training, yet they assumed medical pracitce as experts in stating their "opinion" on my mental competence. U . S . Senator Robert Kennedy directed U . S . Attorney West's medical criminality and common thievery in confiscating my funds and assets, my property and files of evidence, violating the 4th Amendment: "The right of the people to be secure . . . against seizures. " In less than a month Kennedy and his minions were proven incompetent and liars. The Federal hospital-prison medical board found me saner than the Boston shanty-bred Kennedys, more competent, and with a higher IQ. D r . Razor and four other medical examiners had given me every conceivable type of m e n tality test, examination, interviews and cross examination with psychological tests daily. 38
Not only did U. S. Attorney West criminally libel me but compounded that criminality with corruption in the Amarillo Federal Court. Robert Kennedy and Katzenbach's Justice Department, through their hatchetman, West, had followed the Communist psychiatric prosecution doctrine: "An immediate attack upon the sanity of the attacker, before any possible hearing can take place, is the very best defense . . . the person to be destroyed must be given a stigma record of insanity. " As I was an accuser of homosexuality in government, the Justice Department also followed the line of homosexual attorneys that accusers "imagine" homosexuals are perverts, that accusers are "mentally i l l . " The federal hospital social service director, Arthur Berliner, told me the former director of the hospital. D r . Nier, had testified in 1950 at a U. S. Senate Committee hearing that homosexuals in the federal .hospital service were an evil and that poimcal pressure prevented him from getting rid of the perverts. When I told Berliner my suitcase had documents and evidence items overlooked in the confiscation, we went to the hospital storage room. He read the affidavits of witnesses and other material. He reported to the medical board what he saw and confirmed my charges. A few days later I appeared before the medical board. Dr. Parkhurst said Los Angeles County officials had written letters to the board stating my charges were "delusional. " I asked him if Judge Edward Brand had also written. It was admitted that Judge Brand's letter said my charges were false. The letter also said atany time I had established a home he would have given me custody. I told the board Brand had lied. Three times I had homes ready, but Judge Brand favored the perverts. Berliner spoke up and said he saw the proof. On February 4, 1961, I was returned to Potter County Jail to await trial. U.S. Attorney West, on January 13, had obtained F e d eral Grand Jury indictments charging me with committing a postal offense in the Northern District of Texas. The indictment was specific: "That on or about the 24th day of November, I960, in Potter County, Texas, in the Amarillo Division of the Northern D i s trict of Texas, F R E D E R I C K SEELIG did unlawfully and knowingly deposit and cause to be deposited in the United States mails at the UnitedStates PostOffice at Amarillo, Texas, for mailing and delivery, certain non-mailable matter. " U. S. Attorney West, who followed orders from Robert Kennedy, as the Justice Department Attorney General, had obtained the i n dictment without allowing me to appear before the Federal Grand Jury with evidence damaging to the Government that would have dismissed the alleged libel charges. Robert Kennedy and Katzenbach are infamous using grand juries in their corruption to smear, slander and discredit other victims of arrests on charges they ne-vf-r had any intention of bring^ing to trial. In my case, Kennedy and his Justice Department, when they were beaten in Texas on a mentality action against me, went on to falsify documents with rigged proceedings to transport me to Cal39
ifornia, violating the B i l l of Rights and Articles of the Constitution more than 100 times to imprison me on a "double jeopardy" insanity charge after I had been found sane and competent. On my return to the Potter County Jail, deputies told me U. S. Marshal White had said I would not be given a trial until the F a l l T e r m of court, six months hence. It would be in violation of the Fifth Amendment, but there would never be a trial--for I'd likely be a corpse from maltreatment! A n affidavit, filed a year later, January, 1962, in the U. S. Supreme Court (Case No. 841 Misc. ) discloses: "I was kept awake nights by deputies periodically hitting the steel wall of my cell. For several weeks I was kept in a cockroach infested cell which had a filthy mattress and a dirty blanket. It was winter. The windows were kept open. It caused an infection to develop in my chest. But one meager meal was served daily. I lost 30 pounds in a month. On my return from the federal hospital after being found sane I was not allowed to shave for days. Letters I wrote for mailing to friends and relatives were not mailed. "In early February, 1961, other prisoners and I heard the pleading cries of a prisoner who had deliberately broken his parole because he did not have money to buy medicine r e quired to keep him alive. It was necessary for him to take the medicine every four hours. It was refused him. He died. His blanket-covered body lay on the floor for hours. That night an ambulance picked up his body and took it to a hospital. "The next day we read in the Amarillo newspapers a story saying he had died shortly after arrival at the hospital of a heart attack. It was a false story. " Clean clothing was no longer permitted me on my return from the Fort Wprth Federal Hospital on February 4. 1961. Because U.S. Marshal White had also taken my funds at the iail, I was even prevented from buying sandwiches from my jailers to supplement the starvation diet. Improperly cooked food caused many prisoners to have headaches, but we were given aspirins instead of food. We could have all the aspirins we wanted! I penciled a letter to Judge Dooley requesting a speedy trial and asked if I could transfer the case to Los Angeles for a trial. The letter was given to the marshal. He passed it on to U. S. Attorney Hughes, J r . , who gave it to Judge Dooley. Previously, U.S. Attorney West told me a trial could not be held in Los A n geles. The Sixth Amendment mandates: "Public trial in the State and District where a person is indicted. " My letter to Judge Dooley complained that Attorney Gardner had been paid a hundred dollars to obtain a habeas corpus hearing for me and I had requested him to ship my property to relatives; but Gardner had taken my typewriter to his home. Judge Dooley ordered the $150. 00 typewriter returned to U. S. Marshal White but allowed Gardner to keep the hundred dollars as "legal fee" for his ten-minute visit with me in the jail, for which no services were performed. 40

D E F E N D A N T ' S MOTION F O R CHANGE O F V E N U E Defendant moves that the captioned cause be t r a n s f e r r e d f r o m the N o r t h e r n D i s t r i c t of T e x a s to the Southern D i s t r i c t of C a l i f o r n i a at L o s A n g e l e s , as p r o v i d e d i n R u l e 216 F R C C , for the following r e a s o n s : 41
(1) The indictment alleges offenses committed in more than two Districts or Divisions-. One of the Divisions in which the offenses are alleged to have been committed is the Southern District of California; (2) The indictment alleges persons and places located in the Southern District of California; (3) The indictment shows that witnesses for both the Government and the Defendant are located in the Southern District of California; (4) Defendant's family and friends are in the SouthernDistrict of California; (5) There is scheduled for March 14, 1961, in a State Court in the Southern District of California a custody hearing i n volving minor children of defendant, and Defendant deems it urgent that he be able to be present at that hearing. W H E R E F O R E , Defendant prays that in the interests of justice this cause be transferred from this Court to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California , at Los Angeles, California. Frederick Selig, Defendant Robert Page Smith Attorney for Defendant The falsification of that motion is obvious and evidences how a document can be made into a fraud by a Justice Department "approved" court-appointed "defense attorney. " In A p r i l , 1962, at the federal penitentiary, in answer to a memorandum to the U. S. Supreme Court, filed by U. S. Solicitor Genr eral Archibald Cox, I exposed falsities of the memorandum, the Amarillo transfer motion, and how the proceedings had been rigged: "Petitioner is a layman, without access to a law library, and therefore must rely on the court. "He is unable to submit transcripts, copies of essential doc\mients of other material essential, and his evidence, in his behalf, because ne has been denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis to obtain them and the transcripts of proceedand copies of essential documents. Those transcripts would show irregularities, disregard of his constitutional rights and violations of court rules. "In Amarillo, defendant was not present or represented by counsel. He did not know proceedings had been held to condemn him unto after he was in the U, S. Public Health Service hospital prison. There he was found sane and competent by the hospital medical board. "The Department of Justice raises the point: whether petitioner should be accorded rights guaranteed by the U . S. Constitution and the Rules of the Court, for the reason he had been declared mentally incompetent and that he could not understand the proceedings against him or to assist in his defense. 42
" P e t i t i o n e r had been found sane and he finds no p r o v i s i o n i n Section 4244 w h i c h excludes rights gtiaranteed by the Constitution. The Department of J u s t i c e does not d i s c l o s e the sanity findings w e r e concealed and s u p p r e s s e d or that p e t i tioner i s s t i l l denied a copy of the sanity r e p o r t . "The Department of J u s t i c e asks d e t e r m i n a t i o n whether proceedings were p r o p e r l y t r a n s f e r r e d f r o m T e x a s to C a l i f o r n i a .

P e t i t i o n e r signed the m o tion i n t r u s t and faith that A t t o r n e y S m i t h had p r e p a r e d a true and c o r r e c t document. It was not a t r u e document. " T h e questions a r e : (1) W h y d i d A t t o r n e y S m i t h draw up a faulty and false m o t i o n i f he r e a d the i n d i c t m e n t ? (2) Why didn't U . S. A s s i s t a n t A t t o r n e y Hughes object on the grounds the m o t i o n was false and i n e r r o r of the i n d i c t m e n t ? (3) W h y didn't Judge D o o l e y c a l l attention to the e r r o r s ? The i n d i c t ment d i d not a l l e g e what the m o t i o n contended. "The M o t i o n for Change of Venue s a i d : (1) The indictment a l l e g e s offenses i n m o r e than two D i s t r i c t s or D i v i s i o n s . One of the D i v i s i o n s i n w h i c h offenses are a l l e g e d to have been c o m m i t t e d i s the Southern D i s t r i c t of C a l i f o r n i a . (2) The i n dictment a l l e g e s persons and places l o c a t e d i n Southern C a l i f o r n i a . A l l three c l a i m s w e r e untrue. " P e t i t i o n e r didnot testify the i n d i c t m e n t a l l e g e d the above. He was not g i v e n a copy of the indictment and i t was not r e a d i n court. He d i d not know what was i n the indictment u n t i l he r e a d i t i n the M e m o r a n d u m w h i c h petitioner i s n o w a n s w e r i n g . "The i n d i c t m e n t does not charge p e t i t i o n e r with an offense i n Southern C a l i f o r n i a .

The m o t i o n to t r a n s f e r was faked to get me into another f e d e r a l d i s t r i c t so that p s y c h i a t r i c p r o s e c u t i o n could be r e s u m e d . It was p o l i t i c a l l y expedient to protect the D e m o c r a t i c A d m i n i s t r a t i o n , C a l i f o r n i a officials and the Kennedys f r o m p e r v e r s i o n scandal; to c o v e r up the c r i m i n a l i t y of the o r g a n i z e d homosexuals i n the Kennedy p o l i t i c a l m a c h i n e and the m u l t i p l e thousands of degenerates on f e d e r a l payrolls. A few days after the t r a n s f e r o r d e r was granted, a U . S. m a r s h a l p i c k e d m e up at the county j a i l . I was s h a c k l e d i n chains and handcuffs and sped by auto to the c i t y j a i l at A l b e r q u e r q u e , New M e x i c o . T h e r e I w a i t e d five days u n t i l another f e d e r a l m a r s h a l came to t r a n s p o r t me to L o s A n g e l e s . I was fundless. The c i t y j a i l p r i s o n e r s gave m e candy b a r s to eat and loaned m e a safety r a z o r so I could shave. T h e y a l s o s h a r e d sandwiches brought to t h e m by f r i e n d s . The j a i l menu had only w i e n e r s for breakfast, l u n c h and supper, w i t h two p i e c e s of b r e a d . On the m o r n i n g of the s i x t h day, a U . S . m a r s h a l , w i t h s e v e r a l other p r i s o n e r s destined for L o s A n g e l e s , came for m e . We w e r e lodged i n the county j a i l at P h o e n i x , A r i z o n a , overnight. The j a i l was o v e r c r o w d e d . We slept on the f l o o r . T h e food s e r v e d was too unwholesome to eat. The next m o r n i n g we continued to L o s A n g e l e s . We a r r i v e d the evening of M a r c h 1, and I was taken to L o s A n g e l e s County J a i l , then put i n a l a r g e r e c e p t i o n r o o m c r o w d e d w i t h about 200 p r i s o n ers w a i t i n g to be booked. We stood for 30 h o u r s . The only food given us w e r e s e v e r a l cheese sandwiches and some coffee. A f t e r the 30 hours we were booked, taken to an i d e n t i f i c a t i o n r o o m to be f i n g e r p r i n t e d numerous t i m e s , and then "mugged. " P l a s t i c bands with county j a i l numbers w e r e s e a l e d on our w r i s t s . M y number was 761-818. We were then taken to a l a r g e shower r o o m and s p r a y e d w i t h a disinfectant and p h y s i c a l l y i n s p e c t e d for n a r c o t i c s or contraband we might have i n our h a i r , between our legs or i n our mouths. Our t r o u s e r s w e r e n u m b e r e d and checked i n a clothing p r o p e r t y r o o m . J a i l c o v e r a l l s w e r e given us to w e a r and we w e r e taken to a m e d i c a l r o o m w h e r e blood s a m p l e s w e r e taken f r o m our a r m s . F r o m there we went to a m a t t r e s s and blanket storage r o o m . E a c h p r i s o n e r c a r r i e d a m a t t r e s s and blanket to t h e i r a s s i g n e d j a i l tanks. I was put i n tank 1 2 - B and a s s i g n e d to a c e l l built for two p r i s o n e r s . I was the eighth. The other seven w e r e B l a c k M u s l i m s who hated C a u c a s i o n s . The M u s l i m s made it c l e a r to me I was to stay out of the c e l l except when a l l p r i s o n e r s w e r e o r d e r e d into c e l l s w h i l e the c e ment floor was w a t e r e d for m o p p i n g . F o u r to five t i m e s d a i l y the floor was soaked with w a t e r and mopped. Obscene and profane language, threats of beatings unless I stayed out of the c e l l , was what I l i v e d w i t h . P r i s o n e r s w a s h e d t h e i r clothes i n the t o i l e t b o w l s . About ten j a i l t r u s t i e s w e r e i n charge of the tank with a profitable r a c k e t . T h e y took the meat out of stews and other food s e r v i n g s . In the evening they made 45
sandwiches they sold to p r i s o n e r s for 25 cents each. The t r u s t i e s said they would move me into a m o r e pleasant c e l l but it would cost me a d o l l a r a day. I slept on the cement floor atop a soggy m a t t r e s s soaked by the mopping water. M y socks, underwear, and dress s h i r t had rotted off me. The U . S . m a r s h a l refused to send over clothing replacement or what funds r e m a i n e d of the n e a r l y four hundred d o l l a r s I had when a r rested. T h e r e was no accounting given of it. I could not buy c i g arettes, candy, food or a r a z o r and blades. Unconvicted p r i s o n ers a r e not segregated f r o m the convicted or hardened c r i m i n a l s . M o s t of them were two and three time " l o s e r s . " The unconvicted, who had no c r i m i n a l b a c k g r o u n d e r r e c o r d s , were at their m e r c y . The felons looked upon r e t u r n to " j o i n t s " (prisons) as "going home." M e a l s were s e r v e d twice d a i l y . M o s t of the t i m e the food was s l o p s . I was not a l l o w e d messages out of the j a i l . L e t t e r s I wrote for m a i l i n g were turned over to the U . S. m a r s h a l . None were m a i l e d . When I was a r e p o r t e r and news editor I had respect for U . S. A t t o r n e y s and the J u s t i c e Department. I also b e l i e v e d the United States was one of the few countries i n the w o r l d where f e d e r a l p r i s o n e r s were not m a l t r e a t e d or subjected to tyranny and b r u t a l i t y . The public has no way of knowing. Managed news and "accomodating" newspapers a r e the reason. I was experiencing and witnessing how p r i s o n e r s are c r u e l l y m i s t r e a t e d and d e m o r a l i z e d with unwholesome food, starvation diet, inhuman l i v i n g conditions, p s y c h o l o g i c a l p r e s s u r e s and i n t i m i d a t i o n to induce them to plead guilty. It i s w o r s e for a p r i s o n e r h e l d i n the v i s e of a p o l i t i c a l party's t y r a n n i c a l " p o l i c e p o w e r . " The U . S. A t t o r n e y s , under R o b e r t Kennedy's J u s t i c e Department a d m i n i s t r a t i o n i n L o s A n g e l e s , I learned, r e s o r t to c o r r u p t p r o s e c u t i o n methods comparable to the tyranny and p e r s e c u t i o n i n C o m m u n i s t and F a s c i s t p r i s o n e r j a i l ing s. Intimidation and inhuman j a i l c r u e l t i e s failed to induce me to plead guilty. The federal attorneys r e s u m e d the C o m m u n i s t and homosexual line that a c c u s e r s a r e "insane" with the same c o r ruption I e x p e r i e n c e d i n the p e r v e r s i o n of L o s A n g e l e s County agencies and c o u r t s . The C o m m u n i s t p s y c h i a t r i c p r o s e c u t i o n doctrine c a l l s for dest r o y i n g the reputation, effectiveness and c r e d i b i l i t y of an a c c u s e r by attacking his sanity. I was held i n j a i l for 84 days before I appeared i n the A m a r i l l o , Texas court. I was denied a t r i a l and was h e l d without b a i l being a l l o w e d . It violated the Sixth A m e n d ment. In A m a r i l l o I was threatened with 182 m o r e days i n j a i l before I could have a t r i a l . It was intended to maneuver me into a r e quest for speedy t r i a l by transfer to L o s A n g e l e s . The transfer motion was f a l s i f i e d by the court-appointed attorney. Meanwhile, P r e s i d e n t Kennedy was making emotional and h y s t e r i c a l pleas for new c i v i l rights and mental health p s y c h i a t r y l e g i s l a t i o n . The h y p o c r i s y and deception of the Kennedys was exemplified i n A m a r i l l o and L o s Angeles where R o b e r t Kennedy's U . S. A t t o r n e y s showed l e s s respect for constitutional c i v i l rights than for a s o i l e d toilet paper. 46
The Kennedys were establishing a family political dynasty and had taken over the White House with its homosexual stigma. The clan had been well trained in political deceit, corruption and election-buying by their father, Joseph Kennedy, who had been prosecuted, convicted and ousted from Congress for an election fraud that had put him in Congress during the F . D. R. regime. Neither the Democratic Party nor the Kennedys could risk a scandal on organized homosexuals in government and their political influence. It would have surfaced in the libel trial which i n volved California Democratic appointees and state administration perversion. Psychiatric prosecution was renewed on the to prevent a t r i a l - - a violation of the Fifth Amendment: ". . . nor shall any person . . . be twice put in jeopardy. " The political expediency to silence me with an "insanity" i m prisonment required multiple rigged proceedings, falsifying more documents, compounded violations of civil rights, collusion of fedr eral courts and the perjury by a government medical fakir. On the evening of the eleventh day in the county jail, deputies told me there was no record I had been arraigned or given a preliminary hearing. I told them what had occurred in Amarillo. Jail officials said they would not be a party to violations of the Constitution and would notify the U.S. marshal they would free me if I were not arraigned within 24hours. Statutes require arraignment within 72 hours after an arrest. I had been in jails more than 110 days without arraignment or preliminary hearing. On the morning of March 13, 1961, I was shackled in chains and taken to Federal Court before Judge Harry C . Westover for arraignment and a preliminary hearing--after 114 days in jails! I was \inshaven, wore a borrowed jail shirt, and had a string tied around my waist to prevent my trousers from falling. I had lost another 20 pounds and looked and felt like a beragged animal. When I was called before Judge Westover I made complaint on the maltreatment and violations of civil rights. A l l of it was deleted from the transcript. The U.S. Attorneys participating in the corrupt proceedings of Judge Westover's court were Francis C . Whelan and John K . Van Kamp. Both the clerk of the court and Judge Westover, however, questioned the legality of the proceedings. The pertinent excerpts follow: T H E C L E R K : No. 29529-Criminal. United States of America vs. Frederick Seelig, arraignment and plea. Frederick Seelig, is that your true name? SEELIG: Yes. T H E C L E R K : I inform you that if you choose to pleaa guilty, sentence will be passed upon you; and if you enter a plea of not guilty, the case must be transferred back to the District of Texas. SEELIG: If I plead not guilty, it must be transferred back? VAN deKAMP: Your honor, this case was transferred here under Rule 21 for trial. I believe the defendant went all the way back to Amarillo and he was transferred out here for disposition, but it is my understanding he can enter a not guilty plea and go to trial. 47
T H E C L E R K : Do you have an attorney? SEELIG: No, I do not. JUDGE WESTOVER: I will appoint Robert Kogan as your attorney and you can discuss this matter with him. M r . Van deKamp, I don't find a consent here. VAN deKAMP: This is not a Rule 20 case. It is transferred to this court under Rule 21. JUDGE WESTOVER: What am I supposed to do? VAN deKAMP: We will have to arraign the defendant. JUDGE WESTOVER: Yes, he ought to be arraigned. T H E C L E R K : The United States Attorney will hand you a copy of the information. SEELIG: This carbon is so bad I can't read it. WESTOVER: A r e you ready? KOGAN: Yes, we are, your honor. T H E C L E R K : Do you waive reading of the information? KOGAN: Yes. T H E C L E R K : I will ask the defendant, what is your plea? Guilty or not guilty? S E E L I G : Not guilty. T H E C L E R K : This is a Rule 21 case and he can plead like this? VAN deKAMP: That is my understanding. WESTOVER: The case will be transferred to Judge Yankwich for further proceedings. You go in there at 2 o'clock this afternoon. It was the third rigged proceeding; nor was it the last. A l l future proceedings were equally corrupt in Los Angeles. U.S. Attorneys violated statutes, Rules for Court Procedures and Constitutional rights in rigged proceedings with perjury, falsifying of documents and juggling court files. The Federal Grand Jury has refused to hold hearines for investigation. That is why I petitioned for a Congressional Committee investigation. It is why I am taking my case to the public on the decadence of the judiciary and the Department of Justice; the despotism and tyranny of federal courts and the United States Attorneys applying Communistic psychiatric prosecution to imprison a person without trial or conviction. What happened to me has happened to others and can happen to you under a deceptive and corrupt political party's administration of government. Pervision and corruption within a government and its judiciary soon enslaves the free people of that nation with loss of liberties, freedoms and justice. For four years my right to all transcripts, documents, and court records, as well as my confiscated property as evidence and proof of corruption in the federal courts and Justice Department have been denied to me. Due process of law for hearings are also still denied. Three of the eight transcripts I have obtained are not true copies. There are deletions and fabrication. But there is still sufficient proof in the three transcripts on the rigging of proceedings and the corrupt practices. The March 13th proceedings in Judge Westover's court, the questions on Rules 20 and 21 disclose the irregularities, corruption and the deceptions of the U. S. Attorney Van de Kamp. I was 48

A t t o r n e y s . The J u s tice Department had a l r e a d y c o m m i t t e d so many c o r r u p t p r a c t i c e s to prevent a t r i a l that one m o r e v i o l a t i o n was m e r e l y following the pattern.

U n l e s s I was a r r a i g n e d , the L o s A n geles County j a i l officials h a d a l r e a d y given notice they would t u r n me free.

The copy of the indictment V a n de K a m p handed me i n Judge W e s t o v e r ' s court was so b l u r r e d it was unreadable. I protested: " T h i s carbon i s so bad I can't r e a d i t . " D e l e t e d f r o m the t r a n s c r i p t was my request for a clean and c l e a r copy. C o u r t appointed attorney, Kogan, w a i v e d reading of the indictment. The court c l e r k again r a i s e d the i s s u e : " . . . and he can p l e a d l i k e t h i s ? " Kogan and Judge W e s t o v e r w e r e silent.

E x c e r p t s follow: " G i l b e r t Seton was substituted for court-appointed R o b e r t Kogan for reasons not told affiant. Judge Y a n k w i c h noted a 49
'not guilty' plea, a request for jury t r i a l and that affiant had a s k e d for subpoenas for his witnesses. Judge Yankwich said h e ' d decide whether I could have subpoenas for 40 witnesses essential to m y defense. L a t e r , Judge Yankwich decided I could not have any witnesses i n m y behalf. He was looking at the case file, then r e m a r k e d his court did not have j u r i s d i c tion to p r o c e e d and the case should be returned to Texas for t r i a l . The U . S. A t t o r n e y a s s e r t e d it was an '86' case and he a s k e d for a week's continuance. Judge Yankwich granted the continuance and I was returned to the county j a i l . The next day, M a r c h 14, 1961, I was taken f r o m the County J a i l by two U . S. Deputy Ivlarshals, shackled in chains and handcuffs, sped by auto to the Santa M o n i c a Juvenile C o u r t of S u p e r i o r Court Judge E d w a r d B r a n d for one m o r e of the many custody hearings. In the court building c o r r i d o r I was paraded past a group of homosexuals. When I entered Judge B r a n d ' s court, I saw the F e d e r a l - a p p o i n t e d A t t o r n e y Seton c o n f e r r i n g with the h o mosexual attorney and L o s A n g e l e s County P r o b a t i o n department officials. I asked Attorney Seton who had authorized h i m to appear at the custody h e a r i n g . Seton r e p l i e d the U . S. A t t o r n e y ' s office had authorized it upon request of L o s A n g e l e s County o f f i c i a l s ! The c o l l u s i o n between the Justice Department and L o s Angeles County officials was obvious. It set a new low i n protecting sexual d e generates on a state l e v e l . (In e a r l y I960, M a l c o m M a c k e y , a L o s Angeles attorney, appeared before the B o a r d of G o v e r n o r s of the C a l i f o r n i a B a r A s s o c i a t i o n requesting investigation and bar action on h o m o sexual attorneys, representing their like i n courts; their corrupt, unethical p r a c t i c e s and their influence in county agencies and courts, but the bar a s s o c i a t i o n took no action. Seton, with the homosexual attorney, the lesbians, and a male homosexual, were c a l l e d into the judge's chamber for a c o n f e r ence. I was not allowed in until about 20 minutes l a t e r . The h o mosexual mother and her lesbian spouse, Helen Schade, made a motion that M r s . Schade be allowed to adopt the c h i l d r e n . She said M r s . Schade was wealthy, had a large home for the c h i l d r e n , and would make them her h e i r s . The court d e f e r r e d d e c i s i o n and abruptly ended the custody h e a r i n g . I was r e s h a c k l e d arid returned to the County J a i l . The family of M r s . Schade are heavy financ i a l contributors to the D e m o c r a t i c P a r t y !

Laughlin B . Waters, the holdover U . S . Attorney: Robert A . Eisenstein, Thomas Sheridan, and David Y. Smith. In Texas, the proceedings were rigged by William West, III of Fort Worth and William Hughes. J r . of Amarillo. The Justice Department (Attorney General Robert Kennedy and his deputy aide, Nicholas de B . Katzenbach) directed the tyranny and corruption. The day previous, at the March 13 proceedings, when the Los Angeles U . S . Attorney told Judge Yankwich it was an "86" case, I knew there was no hope for a trial. I had already sampled the rottenness that was twisting me in the perverted political vise. The Justice Department had failed to imprison me in Texas on an insanity charge. Judge Yankwich suppressed the Texas sanity report and I had reasons to believe I was going to be "railroaded" by a second "rigged" subterfuge insanity prosecution in Los A n geles. On my return to the County Jail from the Santa Monica Juvenile Court, I penciled a letter to Judge Yankwich: "It was in faith and belief in the justice of courts and the Justice Department, that with my evidence, I'd be able to prove my charges are true. But with the seizure of that evidence, confiscation of my funds, and what I am now experiencing, I am convinced I am being "railroaded" to cover up the homosexual influence and corruption in government--both state and federal. "I have been in jails for more than 100 days without a hearing. I am told I cannot summon witnesses in my behalf. With what I have already experienced, I cannot expect anything better. I now do not expect justice or a trial. " That is exactly what happened. Three days later, on March 17, 1961, insanity proceemngs were again resumed. I was not present and did not know the proceedings were being heia. U. S, A t torneys Waters (and his assistants), Jensen, and Eisenstein obtained an order for appointment of a psychiatrist to examine me. To make certain I'd be declared "insane, " they rigged in Thomas L . Gore, "chief psychiatrist" of the Los Angeles Countv Superior Courts, against whom perversion and corruption charges pended on the custody of my children. Neither the Federal attorneys nor Judge Yankwich had any i n tention of calling the accredited and certified Federal doctors. The original motion listed D r s . K a r l O. Von Hagen and Edwin B . McNeil, who are Federal Court certified doctors. The name of Gore was inserted--typed between the lines naming D r s . Von H a gen and McNeil. Naturally, Gore was appointed--a charlatan, a proven liar with a criminal record behind him. Being on the state and co\inty payroll, and with perversion corruption charges pending against the coiinty officials and state judges. Gore could be counted upon to frame an insanity opinioni Robert Kennedy and the Justice Department had stooped in a perversion sewer I Up to this point from the date of my arrest, December 2, I960, there had been over 50 violations of the Constitution by both the Federal courts and the Justice Department. 52
I had not been given an arraignnnent or a p r e l i m i n a r y hearing u n t i l I appeared i n the L o s A n g e l e s F e d e r a l courts of Judges H a r r y W e s t o v e r and L e o n Y a n k w i c h - - 1 1 4 days after m y a r r e s t ! The M a r c h 20th t r a n s c r i p t r e c o r d d i s c l o s e s the rigging i n of D r . G o r e had o c c u r r e d at the M a r c h 17th proceedings. The U . S. A t t o r n e y s could not r i s k a sanity examination by either V o n H a g e n or M c N e i l . They a r e known for their i n t e g r i t y and ethics. They would know that Constitutional rights p r o h i b i t subjecting a p e r s o n to "double jeopardy" on the same charge after he had been exonerated by five F e d e r a l doctors a few weeks p r e v i o u s l y after a month of examinations, at the c o n c l u s i o n of w h i c h they had r e n d e r e d a competence and sanity report. G o r e was not a qualified or c e r t i f i e d p s y c h i a t r i s t . I n v e s t i g a tion has d i s c l o s e d G o r e falsified his biographies to m e d i c a l assoc i a t i o n s . A Tennessee m e d i c a l examiner stated i n a s w o r n a f f i d a v i t G o r e was m e n t a l l y incompetent and any testimony G o r e gave under oath had no value. The affidavit detailed G o r e ' s strange behavior that c l a s s i f i e d h i m as a c r i m i n a l m e n t a l case! So, the L o s Angeles United States A t t o r n e y s again followed the homosexual l i n e - - a c c u s e r s a r e " p a r a n o i d s .

On M a r c h 20, 1961, I was brought into Y a n k w i c h ' s court i n filthy clothes, unshaven, shackled i n chains and handcuffs.

T h e r e are a hundred cases, s i m i l a r to mine, not known about. Yankwich falsified and was deceptive, stating . . . " a l most a year has lapsed f r o m the p r i o r o r d e r and the transfer to this d i s t r i c t . " M y case had been t r a n s f e r r e d from A m a r i l l o , Texas to L o s A n g e l e s less than a month p r i o r . S i m i l a r deceptions by the L o s A n g e l e s U . S.

Even then, the J u s t i c e Department and Judge Y a n k w i c h refused to abide by the Supreme C o u r t d e c i s i o n s . Instead, they abruptly freed me to cover up their c o r r u p t r o l e s and the tyranny of U . S . Senator Robert Kennedy when he was the A t t o r n e y G e n e r a l . The C o n g r e s s fears his p o l i t i c a l power too m u c h to hold open hearings on his c r i m i n a l i t y i n public office. The testimony of the proceeding continues: E I S E N S T E I N : I think we ought to give D r . G o r e about three weeks. Y o u r H o n o r . J U D G E Y A N K W I C H : L e t ' s make i t a month.

A t t o r n e y Seton had me taken to a v i s i t o r ' s r o o m i n the U . S . M a r s h a l W a r e ' s office for a conference. I was unshaven, my feet were bare i n m y shoes, and Seton knew m y socks, underclothes, and dress s h i r t had rotted off me. M y t r o u s e r s were filthy and out-of-shape. I looked l i k e a shaggy a n i m a l with m y u n t r i m m e d , long h a i r . I a s k e d Seton for a toenail c l i p p e r . Seton c a l l e d the U . S .

" I walked over, put out my foot so the L o s A n g e l e s U . S. M a r shal could see the caked blood on m y toes, and asked for an a n t i septic s a l v e . 55
Seton added, "We ought to let h i m t r i m the t o e n a i l s . A n i n f e c tion may develop. " The M a r s h a l gave it some thought, agreed, and walked to a cabinet. He came back with c l i p p e r s and a tube of s a l v e , Seton told the U . S. M a r s h a l he would l i k e to look over m y property. " E v e r y t h i n g that was wanted out of this p r o p e r t y a l r e a d y has been taken. " the U . S.

They w a l k e d f r o m the M a r s h a l ' s office to a storage r o o m . While they were gone, I t r i m m e d my toenails. The c u r l e d n a i l s , p i e r c ed the flesh, w h i c h bled, as I pushed the s k i n back to c l i p them. I s a l v e d the toes with antiseptic. Seton and the U , S.

No change of clothing was brought back. "The U . S. M a r s h a l i s under o r d e r s not to let you have anything f r o m your luggage," Seton explained. " I ' l l ask the U . S . A t torneys to o r d e r a clothing change for y o u . " But I aever was given clothing to r e p l a c e what had rotted off m e ! We sat down at a table. Seton opened a b r i e f case, took out what appeared to be a new F e d e r a l statute book, and turned the pages to a m a r k e r . "Seelig, something may be w o r k e d out for you--but you w i l l have to agree and cooperate, " Seton s a i d . " Y o u w i l l never be a l l o w e d a t r i a l , " he continued. " T o o many people a r e involved and you have made too many charges.

F o r n e a r l y three y e a r s I had gone through a h e l l and nightmare--not for what I had l e a r n e d , gathered proof and evidence w h i c h were i r r e f u t a b l e , but to get m y c h i l d r e n safe, away f r o m the p e r v e r t s , out of the c o n t r o l of a p e r v e r t e d juvenile court, and the l e s b i a n s o c i a l service w o r k e r s who were exposing them to sexual degenerates.

I had 17 witnesses i n the c o u r t r o o m , m o r e than 45 i t e m s of evidence, affidavits, and m a t e r i a l damaging to the h o m o s e x u a l s .

MOLESTER OF CHILDREN
Male Homosexual in Female Garb Shown above is one oi 42 items filed in the Los Angeles Superior Courts on homosexual obscenity and perversion in Mr. Seelig's effort to safeguard his daughter and son from being reared in homosexuality. This picture shows a male homosexual, known as "Herbie", who is dressed in female garb. This pervert is shown in another picture sucking a child's tongue. A l l original items of evidence were confiscated by the Justice Department and destroyed in the imprisonment of Mr. Seelig. The White House is silent on petition for invattlgation.

should not be stigmatized. He said the mother could not possibly obtain custody and, if I consented to a default divorce, the children would be awarded to me. I agreed. But, my mistake was believing any Los Angeles County official or judge. Rhodes came out of his chambers to the bench, dismissed my witnesses, gave a default divorce, and then ruled the children would continue under jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court with no custody granted to either parent. Unknown to me was that the children were already in the custody of homosexuals! Rhodes got off the bench, returned to his chambers, and locked the door as I protested I did not consent to those default divorce terms. I had signed no agreement. The "deal" by Seton had the same smell. What I had already experienced with the Kennedy Administration Justice Department --deception, rottenness, and perversion influence --alerted me. I told Seton it did not appeal to me. He picked up the statute book and said he was reading from Section 1718: that it was felony criminal libel and carried a five year sentence with a $5, 000 fine. "Seelig, " he said, "you were indicted on three counts. That's 15 years and a $15, 000 fine. " I asked for a copy of the indictment. He said he did not have it with him. Then I asked how a 15-year sentence could be reduced to six months. Seton said it was "fixed" with Yankwich to suspend the fine and free me on parole. It smelled so badly I seethed with anger but wanted to know more before I "fired" him as defense attorney. I asked him about his Santa Monica Juvenile Court appearance on March 14th at the custody hearing. Seton said he was there "only as an observer. " But, Seton was a liar! His appearance had taken up most of his day. Attorneys are not likely to "observe" as a favor to public officials --State or Federal--without payment or for a reason which will be profitable to them. "Did you give your time freely, or were you paid?" I asked him. Seton was evasive. He said it was a "goodwill courtesy service. " But, when I arrived in the Santa Monica Court he was conferring with homosexual attorneys and county officials. Had it been in my interests, or in the interests of the children, he would have first come to the jail to confer with me. His admission, that he had been there at the request of county, state, and federal agency officials, verified to me there was collusion between state and federal officials to cover up what I had surfaced on the homosexual power and perversion in government. Seton got up from the table, went to a water basin for a cup of water, and stood there. The statute book intrigued me. In all the years I had worked on newspapers as a reporter, and on news desks, I had never heard of a five, ten, or fifteen-year sentence for alleged libel on a conviction or plea of guiltv, nor it being a felony. I read the statute. What was in print was true as to what 58
he had read. I flipped the pages to the front for the date of publ i c a t i o n . It was 19011 The statute book was an antique--60 y e a r s old. Seton noticed m y d i s c o v e r y and r e t u r n e d to the table. I pointed to the page and date. " C a n you explain i t ? " I asked. "The book was given to me by the U . S. A t t o r n e y s , Setonadmitted, adding, " C o r p o r a t i o n law, not c r i m i n a l , i s m y p r a c t i c e . 1 was c a l l e d i n to take over for Kogan. " M y anger surfaced then. " T a k e this book back and t e l l them my answer i s they can go to h e l l ! " " Y o u ' r e making a m i s t a k e , Seelig, " he s a i d . " T h e r e w i l l never be a t r i a l or a hearing a l l o w e d you on your c h a r g e s . N o r w i l l you get your p r o p e r t y or files back. Refuse to plead guilty and you w i l l be found insane, i m p r i s o n e d for the r e s t of your l i f e . Y o u w i l l never see your c h i l d r e n again or know what became of them. That attitude w i l l destroy you. Y o u can't fightthe new society. After two y e a r s , nothing has been gained except your a r r e s t and indictment. " M y anger mounted. "Get out, y o u ' r e through! Get out of the case and the c h i l d r e n ' s c a s e ! " I t o l d h i m . " T e l l those F e d e r a l attorneys I c a l l e d them p e r v e r t e d bastards. How many faggots and queers are there i n that o f f i c e ? " The U . S. M a r s h a l w a l k e d o v e r . Seton packed his b r i e f case. I was going to ask h i m i f he had a statement a l r e a d y p r e p a r e d for me to s i g n that my charges had been " i m a g i n e d , " but instead, I t o l d h i m again that he was d i s m i s s e d as the court-appointed defense attorney and I would m a i l h i m a letter to that effect, a l s o a copy to Judge Y a n k w i c h . Seton motioned to the U . S. M a r s h a l to unlock the gate. He w a l k e d out without comment. The U . S . M a r s h a l c a l l e d to a deputy to remove me to the front c e l l where p r i s o n e r s a r e kept b e fore being taken to the county j a i l .

A s I w a l k e d by his v i s i t o r s and attorneys, C a r b o s a i d : " Y o u deserve a c h i c k e n dinner. I a m o r d e r i n g dinners for everyone. Would you l i k e to be i n c l u d e d ? " I nodded i n r e p l y . A f t e r I was l o c k e d up i n the p r i s o n e r c e l l , one of his friends a s k e d me what d e s s e r t I would l i k e and how I wanted m y coffee. The U . S. M a r s h a l o r d e r e d h i m to "Get back where you b e l o n g - he can't have anything. " I had had nothing to eat since the mush and doughnut for breakfast. It was late afternoon and I was hungry. I watched the C a r bo group feast on c h i c k e n . One of C a r b o ' s friends, when the U . S . M a r s h a l had his back turned, s l i p p e d me a pack of c i g a r e t t e s . But he forgot to give me matches. S h o r t l y afterward, an i n c o m i n g p r i s o n e r was put i n the c e l l w i t h me. He had a packet of matches and we s h a r e d the c i g a r ettes.

He s a i d he had investigated m y charges and told me I had " i m a g i n e d " a l l of them! I a s k e d h i m his opinion on h o m o s e x u a l i t y . He told me there was nothing wrong with i t . He knew everything that had happened i n m y case, the names of the county s o c i a l s e r v i c e w o r k e r s involved, the homosexuals, and what had o c c u r r e d for two y e a r s . It was o b v i o u s G o r e h a d b e e n b r i e f e d , coached, and had a c c e s s to the County P r o b a t i o n Department f i l e s . The meeting between us l a s t e d less than an hour. T h e r e w e r e no witnesses nor was a tape r e c o r d i n g made on what t r a n s p i r e d at that table. It was the only meeting we had. T h e r e were no sanity tests nor any of the examination tests w h i c h had taken place at the F o r t W o r t h H o s p i t a l P r i s o n where I was given a sanity examination. Instead of the A p r i l 17 scheduled hearing on m y sanity, I was sped to Y a n k w i c h ' s court the m o r n i n g of A p r i l 3. Gore was i m m e d i a t e l y put on the stand. He t e s t i f i e d I was insane and " l e g a l l y insane for at least five y e a r s " - - t h a t I was a "hom o s e x u a l i n his opinion" with an "abhorrence for l e s b i a n s . " G o r e t e s t i f i e d none of m y charges against the p u b l i c offic i a l s or judges were true; that a l l charges, including h o m o sexuals i n the government, were " f a l s e " and I was guilty of slandering those o f f i c i a l s . G o r e t e s t i f i e d he had examined me for "two and one-half h o u r s . " In his typed i n s a n i t y r e port to the court, he s a i d it was "two h o u r s .

L i k e a l l the proceedings conducted against me, the c o u r t r o o m was empty except for a few government spectators. Seton's conduct evidenced he was a F e d e r a l "stooge, " s u b s t i tuted for a court-appointed defense attorney. When I c o r n e r e d h i m on his background, he admitted his p r a c t i c e was c o r p o r a t i o n law and he had no c r i m i n a l law p r a c t i c e or e x p e r i e n c e .

Justice Department Resorts to Kremlin Tyranny Psychiatric Imprisonment Excerpts from the riggedand FederalCourt falsified transcript on Communist psychiatric "insanity" proceedings are the first to be published of this actual case within the United States. A copy of D r . Gore's faked insanity report was also submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court in my appeal. It was filed as "Exhibit B - B " and was accompanied by an affidavit on the perjury, the falsifying and how it followed the Kremlin-created psychiatry to get r i d of government accusers. Gore's insanity report exemplifies the criminality of psychiatric mental health prosecution. What happened to me can happen to you or anyone! A few weeks prior, a Texas Federal Medical Board, not under the control of the Justice Department or a F e d eral court, had subjected me for 30 days to tests and exarndnations. The board had declared me sane and competent. Gore, in one short visit, gave no tests, but testified I was i n sane and "legally insane for five years" despite the fact that he had never seen me before. My competence had been established throughout my years as a newspaperman and I had proven my sanr ity a few weeks previously to the Federal Medical Board. In psychiatric prosecution, a defendant is not allowed witnesses, his own doctors, or medical experts of his own choosing; nor is he allowed introduction of evidence that nothing he said or had written had been "imagined" or had been libelous. Gore's "insanity" report to Judge Yankwich said I was "living off the bounty of press clubs." He lied and did not substantiate that falsity, nor did the U, S. Attorneys. In 1959 and I960, I was employed on news desks of newspapers in Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Payroll records and affidavits, showing Gore lied and fabricated, were denied introduction as evidence of Gore's perjury. In Communist psychiatric prosecution, only a government psychiatrist is allowed to submit a report and to testify. This is now the procedure in the United States. Gore's testimony also evidenced his familiarity with the directives in the Kremlin mental health manual and the claims that "three out of ten Americans are mentally unsound." Gore testi63

GORE: Yes, sir. S E T O N : When he makes charges that c e r t a i n i n d i v i d u a l s a r e g u i l t y of h o m o s e x u a l p e r v e r s i o n s , he makes a charge that they a r e doing something wrong?

( S i c . ) S E T O N : W e l l , l e t ' s just take h i s consciousness of the difference between r i g h t and w r o n g . He knows, does he not, that it i s wrong to be a p e r v e r t , a s e x u a l p e r v e r t ? G O R E : Undoubtedly he knows that. S E T O N : So he knows that difference between r i g h t and wrong? GORE: Correct. S E T O N : A l l r i g h t .

G O R E : I do not go on whether the charges are c o r r e c t or i n c o r r e c t . (Sic. ) S E T O N : Isn't i t true that many people, whether r i g h t or wrong--we'11 say m o r e than ten, a r e under the i m p r e s s i o n that Judges can be fixed and C o u r t s can be a r r a n g e d and things can happen that don't go a c c o r d i n g to the Rule Books . . . G O R E : W e l l , we estimate that about three people out of e v e r y ten w i l l , sooner or l a t e r , become m e n t a l l y i l l . S E T O N : Then, i n other w o r d s , you a r e c o n v i n c e d the charges a r e false?

S C H U L M A N : Y o u r H o n o r , objection on that as no foundation has been l a i d for the p a r t i c u l a r question. S E T O N : We are at a h y p o t h e s i s .

GORE: They have latent homosexual tendencies. Questioning of Gore by United States Assistant Attorney Schul man is also revealing. It discloses Gore was head of the "Department of Mental Hygiene for the State of California in 1954 at Atascadero Hospital. He testified he opened it. Gore calims he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1915 and joined the U . S . Army in 1916. A n investigation into Gore's background revealed he was discharged from the Army in 1939. He stated under oath in a deposition taken out of court a few years after I was imprisoned that he "was a banker for 15 years" hereafter. (Loan bucket offices near Army camps condemned as rackets. ) Documented investigative reports, which have been verified, disclosed he obtained employment as an administrative director of Davidson County Hospital in 1947, in Tennessee, on his claim he had been an administrative officer in the U . S. A r m y . (Executive orders clamped secrecy on the Army files regarding Gore! ) In 1948, he was discharged by Davidson Hospital for mishandling county funds, incompetence, and for performing illegal and criminal operations. In 1951, he came to California and was issued a license by Sacramento to practice medicine. The medical training and teaching he gave in his biography to medical associations has been exposed as being false and fradulent. Neither the State of California, Los Angeles County, where he was "Chief Psychiatrist, " nor the Deaprtment of Justice, will a l low public hearings on Gore or the documented evidence against him on his falsifying a medical background. It follows the Kennedy-Johnson policy of silence and covering up corruption, homosexuality and treason. U. S. Assistant Attorney Schulman, the transcript of the testimony on April 3rd proceedings will evidence, followed similar doctrines of Communist psychiatric prosecution to discredit, stigmatize a government accuser and destroy his effectiveness. Transcript excerpts follow: SCHULMAN; D r . Gore, have you had any particular experience in your career as a medical doctor dealing with problems specifically sexual in nature? GORE: I was selected by the head of the Department of Mental Hygiene for the State of California in 1954 to go to Atascadero Hospital and open it up, which is a hospital for sexual deviates, male. SCHULMAN: How long? And in what capacity did you serve there, sir? GORE: I served there as Assistant Superintendent in charge of the Medical Service for four years. SCHULMAN: And in this capacity, sir, did you have an opportunity to act in a psychiatric capacity? GORE: That was my capacity. I was head of the medical section and conducted all of the staff meetings of the medical staff in which we decided what was to be done with each case.

rational than at the time they were committed. A n d that, i n effect, the defendant would be unable to fully understand the conceptual aspects of the matter with which he has been charged.

I am only one of about 190 million Americans with an aversion to the abominable, sex-maniac creatures. According to Gore, the U. S. Attorneys and Judge Yankwich, that means there are 190 million "lunatics" who can be shackled in chains, handcuffs and leg-irons for shipment to the torture drain-hole cells of the infamous Federal penitentiary at Springfield, Missouri, where prisoner atrocities are performed in "guinea pig" experiments. The testimony and insanity report by Gore on an accuser was not strange--considering that he is on the same county and state payroll as the accused officials and judges. They are of the same political tyranny machine. As a political "hatchetman, " Gore was no doubt congratulated for his performance. For more than eight years, state and F e d eral officials have blocked and prevented due process of law on my charges and complaints against government corruption. Judge Yankwich's conclusionary statement from the bench, declaring me "insane" and his comments: "Gentlemen, I think these are not pleasant cases. I have several of them. The statute is broad. D r . Gore has made a very comprehensive report in which he substantiates the findings, and I concur with them and I find that as of today the defendant is insane or otherwise mentally incompetent as to be unable to understand the proceedings against him or to properly assist in his own defense. "I think the letters, his action on the stand, his return to the assertion all the time that such and so told me to be the truth, he is willing to name witnesses whose names were absolutely unknown to the Court, (Sic. ) giving hearsay coming back to them in his own justification, the conclusion that he had this fixation, whether it is caused by latent homosexuality we needn't concern ourselves with. "That is recognized. In fact, there is a play that we saw that was given in New York. It was called "Tea and Sympathy. " It is by Van Drooten. It was based upon that very idea of a ntoan being so afraid of his own homosexual tendency that he accuses all others of those acts. But that is merely an illustration of one of the elements which this psychiatric report has taken into consideration. "The Court will make a finding to that effect, and will order the defendant committed to the custody of the Attorney General, to be placed in the Mental Hospital, Springfield, M i s souri, or any other hospital to be designated by him until the accused may be mentally competent to stand trial. "Incidentally, it occurs to me that the case really should be sent back in view of this finding, in view of the fact that he probably will be committed to St. Louis, Missouri, and I think we should send back the case, transfer it to the Court it came from, so that if he is, after treatment, declared sane, he would be nearer the place where he can be tried. " Court was quickly adjourned. I had been declared insane, degraded, discredited, and stigmatized. The methods used followed the Communist psychiatric and psychopolitical instructions blueprinted from Kremlin 32 years ago for Americans. J F K , LB J, R F K , and Nicholas Katzenback wouldn't dare hold open public 71
hearings on the U . N , Kremlin Manual--especially on this excerpt now being imposed on Americans! "An immediate attack upon the sanity of the attacker (accuser), before any possible hearing can take place, is the best defense in moments of expediency. The label of 'insanity' discredits and discounts the statements of the person. In psychiatric imprisonment there are no civil rights. Psychiatrists cannot be questioned . . . " It is a horrible and terrifying ordeal for anyone to go through Communist psychiatric prosecution proceedings. The callousness numbs and dazes a person who is denied all civil rights, not allowed witnesses or his own doctors--and how judges assume the dual role of prosecutor and judgel Judge Yankwich claims in his statement that G o r e made a "comprehensive report, " and had substantiated it. Arthur Sylvester, an undersecretary for the Defense Department, aptly put it: "The Government has the inherent right to lie to save itself. " In other words, we have a government of liars, cheats, subterfuge, thieves, and treason! The liars, cheats, and scoundrels are not confined to the Defense and State Departments, nor to the White House, but overlap in the judiciary. Justice Department, and every agency of the socalled "humanitarian" Great Society administration, spawned out of New Dealism and New Frontierism! Yankwich brushed aside the witnesses I asked to be subpoenaed as being: "Absolutely unknown to the Court, " and therefore not allowed to testify! (So, we now have Kremlin government tyranny in the United States) Adding insult to malicious injury, Yankwich's moronic mind likened me to a homosexvial in a New York stage drama in justifying his "consideration" of Gore's "psychiatric report," branding me a lunatic with sexual degeneracy. It exemplifies a degree of the present calibre of the judiciary political appointees with despotic gutter liberalism, used to i m prison accusers of government perversion and communism! Yankwich's outrageous deceit hits a new amoral low, either because of incompetence or ignorance, when he stated he was committing me to a "mental Hospital" when, in reality, he gave me an indefinite sentence to the Federal penitentiary, a hell-hole, hard-core prison, at Springfield, Missouri. His statement ended with hodge-podge double-talk, expected from an idiot and not a jurist. His miind rambled: ". . . it occurs to me that the case really should be sent back in view of this finding, in view of the fact that he probably will be committed to St. Louis, l^^ssouri, and I think we should send back the case, transfer it to the Court it came from . . . " Transferring the case back to Amarillo wouldhave put the Justice Department in another precarious position for additional perversion corruption! The Amarillo U. S. District Court had declared me sane on the findings of a Federal Medical Board. The Justice Department could not risk a trial for libel because of what it would have disclosed-- leading to Limp-Wrist Jenkins in the White House. 72
By corrupt proceedings, the Justice Department had sped me to the Los Angeles Federal Courts from Amarillo, Texas, to get rid of me with a "double jeopardy" insanity charge, using a Los Angeles County administration charletan and a senile judge known for his strange ideological liberalism. During the Federal kangaroo court proceedings, Yankwich openly expressed hatred for Christian conservatives. He said the U. S. Senators in the 1950 Senate investigation of Communists and homosexuals on Federal payrolls were witch-hunters and lunatics. He singled out the late Senator Joseph McCarthy with derogatory and slanderous remarks as to his "sanity." The vicious, smearing and discrediting attacks by White House administration liberals, pseudo-moderates, Commvinists, Sodomites, and anti-Christian organizations - - a l l with the blessings of the Great Society "humanities" sponsored by New Dealism-Frontierism cohorts, hastened Senator McCarthy's death and that egomaniac smearing still continues. Since the early 1940's hundreds of American patriots, conservatives, vocal anti-Communism and anti-homosexuality accusers have been the liquidation targets. It was by similar political corrupt procedures I was condemned and became a guinea pig for the Federal psychiatrist fiends who tried to change my thinking to the government's "mental health" standards for a tranquilized and regimented "captive" population. After court was adjourned, a deputy U.S. marshal again shackled me in chains and handcuffs. He and a dozen other Federal agents herded me, like an animal, back to the confines of the Los Angeles County Jail. Many of the Los Angeles County sheriff deputies at the jail found it difficult to believe that I had been adjudged insane. They knew my background and also the power of the homosexual influence in government but did not believe the Justice Department would gutter-stoop to get rid of me with insanity imprisonment. Without a trial or a conviction of any offense, much less for alleged libel. Gore and Judge Yankwich had found me guilty of l i bel and insanity and exonerated all accused California State and Los Angeles County public officials, judges, social service workers and homosexuals of all charges pending against them. In effect, my daughter and son were then conveniently condemned to a life of homosexuality by the Los Angeles County Probation Department and the Superior Courts. It is strange that if I were so "insane" that I would be returned to a county jail housing 60 other prisoners, all sane, under prison sentences or facing trials for crimes of violence and traffic offenses. Several prisoners serving terms for traffic offenses gave me paper, pencil, envelopes, and postage stamps to write friends, relatives, and letters of appeal. The County Jail, conforming to rules on Federal prisoners, turned the letters over to the U. S. Marshal. None were mailed. The letters, however, enabled the Justice Department to know with whom I was trying to communicate I When the county jail officials learned I was trying to send let73
ters to the U . S. Court of Appeals, they told me I had that constitutional right and the county jail would not be an accessory to a Constitution violation. They told me they would mail my letters to the Federal appellate courts themselves, and not give the letters to the U . S. Marshal. I penciled two more letters to the U.S. Court of Appeals at San Francisco, charging violations of constitutional rights by the Los Angeles U.S. District Court in one letter, and in the other charged fraud, rigged proceedings, and corrupt practices by the Justice Department, the Los Angeles Federal Courts and U . S. Attorneys. For nearly two weeks I remained in the County Jail, hoping that my appeals would be granted a hearing. But I received no replies until weeks after I had become prisoner P 427 in the Springfield Federal penitentiary. The replies had been received by the Los Angeles U . S . Marshal. It lessened the chance of my appeals being docketed! Later, when my appeal was docketed, none Of the U. S. District or appellate courts would allow me assistance of legal counsel or appoint covmsel to represent me. Despite it, I carried my own case through three Federal district courts, two Federal appellate courts and subsequently "won" my own case in the U. S. Supreme court--only to have the decision invalidated by Kennedy Judiciary corruption. In retaliation for proving the Federal courts, U . S . Attorneys, psychiatrists and prison officials were liars, the Justice Department a year and a half later compelled me to engage a Justice Department "approved" attorney who revoked the Supreme Court decisions and mandates. How it was done, and how I was eventually freed by more "rigged" proceedings to prevent a J F K - L B J scandal--still denied the right of a trial or a hearing on the illegal imprisonment--will be disclosed. A prisoner never knows, at least I didn't, when he'll be moved from one jail to another or to a prison vmtil a few minutes before his departure. At no time was I allowed visitors or any outside contacts. A l though the Los Angeles newspapers knew my case, what it involved, and that it was rigged--all of the papers "accomodated" the Justice Department managed news censorship by silence. It continues to this day! After two weeks more of Los Angeles County Jail Tank 12B I I was sped by train back to Fort Worth, Texas. Prisoner names at the Los Angeles County Jail are called daily by tank trusties for transportation to county road camps, state prisons and Federal penitentiaries. "Roll-up" is yelled. P r i soners whose names are called roll up their blankets and mattresses, line up to await opening of the tank cell doors. They carry the bedding down several stair flights to receptacles, then march to the civilian clothing storage room to shed jail overalls and "dress out" in civilian clothes. A deputy handcuffs them in pairs, linked to a chain, and they are taken down an elevator to the first floor. On A p r i l 17, I got my roll-up call. Four and one half months of maltreatment, inadequate food and lack of exercise in county jails in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas had 74
p h y s i c a l l y weakened and d e m o r a l i z e d m e . L e a v i n g the o v e r crowded L i o s A n g e l e s County J a i l c e l l tank, and what I h3.d been living with was a r e l i e f . T h e heavy, soggy m a t t r e s s and c u m b e r some blankets were too m u c h of a load for m e . T w i c e m y weakened legs gave way and each time I stumbled the heavy load fell to the floor. A l l the departing p r i s o n e r s , except m y s e l f , knew their d e s t i n ation and sentence to be s e r v e d . A l l I knew was that I had been d e c l a r e d insane. I did not know where I was going. J a i l deputies told me it would be to a F e d e r a l hospital or m e n t a l institution somewhere i n the United States for " p s y c h i a t r i c treatment" and i f m y "sanity" r e t u r n e d , I'd be brought back to court for t r i a l . O t h e r w i s e , if I was not r e t u r n e d for a t r i a l in a few months I'd be c o m m i t t e d for life to an insane a s y l u m . The deputies said they s a w nothing wrong with m y "sanity." If they had, I would have been p l a c e d i n s o l i t a r y confinement and not allowed to mingle with other p r i s o n e r s . T h e y believed I'd soon be found " s a n e " and brought back to stand t r i a l . M y letters of appeal to the U . S. C o u r t of A p p e a l s had been m a i l e d , I was told by the j a i l deputies. T h e y w e r e m y only hope of reopening the case. I was not allowed to contact anyone else on the outside. M y requests to the U . S. M a r s h a l for c l e a n clothing and r e p l a c e m e n t of socks and underclothes which had rotted off m e , had been i g n o r e d . T h e deputies at the clothing r o o m s a i d the U , S, M a r s h a l had refused to send over clean clothing f r o m m y luggage. A l l I had were dirty, sweat-soaked t r o u s e r s and shoes. A deputy found a d i s c a r d e d , o v e r - s i z e d s h i r t and I put it on. M y status as a p r i s o n e r , d e c l a r e d insane yet j a i l e d and c o n fined with p e r s o n s convicted of c r i m e s gave me a feeling of b e wilderment. I had not been convicted of any offense. M y own doctors were not allowed to testify. A few weeks p r e v i o u s l y , five doctors had found me sane after a month of tests and observation. I knew the rottenness of the p o l i t i c s which saw to it that I was not brought to t r i a l for alleged libeling of L o s A n g e l e s County and state officials. T h i s alleged offense is only a m i s d e m e a n o r charge and yet I had been " r a i l r o a d e d " as a c r i m i n a l l y insane felon. The confiscated evidence p r o v e d without doubt m y statements were not libelous and that those I had a c c u s e d were i n r e a l i t y t h e " c r i m r i n a l s " who should have been prosecuted. But I a l s o knew, for I had e x p e r i e n c e d it, the extent of the decadence and c o r r u p t i o n i n both the government and the j u d i c i a r y . I had only s c r a t c h e d the surface on what I had uncovered and t r a c e d back to the t i m e when the F r a n k l i n D . Roosevelt A d m i n i s t r a t i o n took office and initiated the entrenchment of homosexxial s u b v e r s i v e s , and C o m m u n i s t s i n i n F e d e r a l government. It was part of the international s y n d i c a l i s m c o n s p i r a c y i n the creation of the U n i t e d Nations to sabotage and destroy the A m e r i d a n t r a d i t i o n a l way of l i f e . S o c i a l i s t i c , sini s t e r l e g i s l a t i o n c r e a t e d deceptive, s o - c a l l e d h u m a n i t a r i a n F e d e r a l agencies to r e g i m e n t the nation into what it was to b e c o m e - a "captive" population caught i n a v i s e of b u r e a u c r a t i c p r o - M a r x ists and p s e u d o - A m e r i c a n s with totalitarian despotic p o w e r s . T h e l i b e r t i e s and freedoms, t r a d i t i o n a l with A m e r i c a n s , were c u r t a i l e d by subverting the Constitution and its B i l l of Rights. 75
"Executive Orders" from the White House are shattering the soverign rights of the states. Those rights had been mandatedby the Constituiton in the creation of the Republic. Nowhere in the Constitution is there provision for a socialistic "democracy. " Alien philosophies now permit government pressure groups to create legislation that shackle freedoms of the Christian majority. I recalled working as a reporter on an Albany newspaper when Roosevelt was Governor of New York State. I remembered the "queers," faggots, "fairies" and Communists on state payrolls during his regime, and how many became integral cogs of his socalled "Brain Trust" when he was elected to the Presidency in 1932. A s I waited in the clothing room to be shackled to handcuffs, I realized the significance of what I had uncovered in the nationwide secret homosexual organization operating in major cities. The charges I had made--that Los Angeles County is a cesspool of perversion with homosexual influence and power corrupting the government administtative agencies and courts--were understatements. What better "TrojanHorse" could the Kremlin use to infiltrate government than homosexuals, outcast and outlawed by civilized people since Bibical days. Their deviant sexual practices are in defiance of society's moral codes. FDR had sown the seeds for a "Democracy" decadence of the United States. I thought of my status, not as a convicted criminal, but as a person condemned as a "paranoid," a Marxist definition of a psychiatric illness labeled as insanity. Communist and homosexual attorneys follow the Kremlin Mental Health Manvial directives to discredit accusers, thus diverting their attention from their own subversive and un-American activities. The charge against me was alleged libel. This is in a lower category than most traffic offenses. Accused officials and politicians use "libel" as a defense "crutch" against accusers - - never risking an open court trial but resorting to tyrannyand subterfuge. There was a time when honor, decency, and integrity built an image of respect for the Justice Department. However, in these "changing times, " starting with a sugar-coated "New Deal" and proceeding to what is now known as a "New Frontier, " corrupt political practices, accented with lavender and pinko deceit, are now the order of the day. Convicted murderers, rapists, narcotic peddlers, and c r i m inals of similar ilk are protected by laws guaranteeing them human and civil rights. But those who are falsely accused of mental illness are deprived of all legal protection, human and Constitutional rights. This I not only experienced, but was soon to witness and further learn the criminality of "psychiatric therapy." Unbridled license and authority are given to sadists calling themselves psychiatrists to maim and destroy hunxan beings. I was soon to join the "guinea pigs" in a hell-hole penitentiary, deceptively called a Federal Medical Center "Hospital. " I was handcuffed to a convicted bank bandit and shackled to chains linking ten other prisoners. We were herded from the county jail clothing room onto an elevator that took us to the first floor. When the other prisoners were brought down we were r e 76
grouped,and handcuffed, shackled again to chains and led out to board a prison bus. The first stop was at the railroad yards, where the Federal prisoners were taken off and were put on a train coach, seated and shackled with leg irons. I was among twelve Federal prisoners who were under sentences 20 years to life. The dinner brought to us on the train was my first decent meal in more than six weeks. We slept in pullmanbeds in pairs chained and shackled. Two days later we arrived at Fort Worth and were led off the train by six U.S. Marshals to the rail platform, u n chained and regrouped again. I was put into a car with two U, S. Marshals. We rode to the county jail where I was put in a small, dirty reception cage. For six hours I stood waiting-to again be fingerprinted and mugged. My luggage was put into storage. A paper plate of mush and a tin cup of coffee was given to me. After being mugged and fingerprinted, I was taken up in an elevator to a cell block housing five coutity prisoners. For five days I was kept there. Three meager meals on tin plates and distasteful coffee were given us daily. I again asked the deputies for a change of clothing, for writing material, and whether they knew my destination. I was told the U.S. Marshal had left orders I was not to be given anything from my luggage nor allowed to send letters out. I was told my destination was unknown. It was my belief that since I was in Fort Worth, I'd be returned to the Federal hospital prison there. I looked forward to clean clothes, adequate and wholesome food again as well as decent treatment. On the fifth day I was brought down to the booking room where two U.S. Marshals handcuffed me to chains. My luggage was loaded in the rear of a car and we drove off. Near the city limits the car pulled over to the curb and parked. The driver turned in his seat, facing me, and said: "Seelig, do you know where you're going? " "No, when I learned I had arrived in Fort Worth I thought I was going back to the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital prison." The marshal at the wheel told his companion to take off the handcuffs. "We'll take off the shackles, but when we get to Springfield, Missouri, we'll have to rechain and shackle you before we deliver you to the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners. We'll be there about 6 o'clock," the marshal said. "We read your commitment papers and looked into your file," he continued. "There's something fishy about it. It wasn't many weeks ago you were found sane and competent by the top Federal doctors here. How come you were moved to another Federal district?" "I thought my case was being transferred for trial in Los A n geles but they brought in a Los Angeles County and state doctor to testify I am insane. " "Someone is damn anxious to salt you away. Who are you supposed to have slandered?" " A number of California judges and officials. It's a homosexual case. I tried to save my children from perverts who are protected from prosecution in Los Angeles. I uncovered corruption and accused the officials and judges of espousing homosexuality 77

years wondering whenhe is going to get atrial. He has no friends or relatives on the outside. " "Unconvicted prisoners are not paid for labor. For the first three months 'cons' work for free. But, imagine pushing a trash cart seven days a week from morning to evening for 15 years without a cent of pay. " We reached the ward. What I had been told was frightening. The prison servitude is federalized penal slavery. And I knew I was in the category as a "ward" of U . S. Attorney Genersl Robert Kennedy--the same as Sink, Coates, Marvin, and the others in the penitentiary who were imprisoned for alleged "insanity. " I realized how much I was at the mercy of the young prison doctors who call themselves psychiatrists. WhatI was to learn, witness and experience the next 19 months was appalling. My life had already been shattered by the perversion influence and cor ruption in California and Los Angeles County but more corrupt and criminal was the Department of Justice administration methods under Robert Kennedy which had imprisoned me. This was when President Kennedy was making hysterical and emotional pleas for civil rights and social equality for all minorities. He was also pressing Congress for passage of more mental health legislation. Not told was, that it would tighten a Communist police state on the nation. Meanwhile, his brother, Robert, by subterfuges and deception, was scuttling the soverign rights of states and undermining Constitutional rights. I recalled the threat made by Attorney Seton, that, unless I changed my plea to guilty of libel, there was no intent to permit a trial or hearing on any phase of government perversion-- I'd be declared insane and be imprisoned the rest of my life. Those are the methods of prosecution in Soviet Russia. I had heard, prior to my arrest, the Kennedy Administration intended to establish a psychiatric police state patterned after what was established in the Soviet, but, like the majority of Americans, I did not believe it. Such legislation, I believed, would be treason to American freedoms and liberties, due process of law, and the B i l l of Rights safeguards against tyranny. But, Kennedy --with the help of Communist-front mental health advocates and tax-free foundations sponsoring Marxist d o c t r i n e s r a m r o d d e d through Congress almost a replica of the insidious mental health legislation of the Soviet and its regimented captive slave nations. I experienced the tyranny which goes with it. I learned that 20 of the Ward 2-2 East prisoners were serving life for murders. Some were feeble-minded and were near 80 years of age. The prisoner I had become acquainted with walked me back to a so-called r e creational room. The guards call it the "sun room. " It had no recreational facilities, but two large tables used by prisoners to pencil letters to persons who were "approved" by the Bureau of Prisons for correspondence. On most other wards there were games--table tennis, dominoes, checkers, and playing cards--but none on 2-2 East. The imbeciles and zombies destroy or scatter them, flushing checkers and dominoes down toilets. They live in a world within themselves and seldom uttered any words. They were inoffensivementally and physically too weak to attack anyone. Those of us 83

Pavlovian Psychiatric Atrocities Maim Nude Prisoners in Torture 'Drain Holes' As a newspaperman I had known many mobsters and gangsters in the Midwest and in the East. I was learning what it was like in prison. Ex-convicts had told me Springfield was more brutal than Alcatraa--now, I would experience it. There was less obscene language among the prisoners than in the Los Angeles County Jail. There had been practically none in the county jails in Fort Worth, Alberquerque, Raton Pass, and Kansas City and Kansas tounty seat jails. The maltreatment and obscenity was worst in Amarillo, Phoenix and Los Angeles county jails. I sat on the prison yard bench meditating--most of the prisoners were serving 20 years to life and I was supposed to be in a Federal hospital for psychiatric treatment until I "understood" the charges against me, could assist counsel in my defense, and until my thinking had been changed to what was acceptable to the U . S . Attorneys and the politically stacked Federal Courts. A guard in the yard blew a whistle. It meant the yard period wa« over. The prisoners walked to their respective buildings and I joined a group headed for Two Building. I did not see Joe again until I was in the ward. It was after a guard yelled "count," which meant all prisoners were to "freeze" where they stood or sat until two guards went through-the ward and counted the prisoners to make certain no one was missing. Three times daily the count was made and twice during the night. After the count, I walked into the recreation room. Joe came over to me. "Seelig, a letter has arrived for you from the A p peals Court. Don't ask for it. You might get it tonight, tomorrow, or a week from now. But you've been granted the appeal on constitutional rights. Also you have a credit of some sixty dollars. Any day now, unless the psychiatrists hold it up, you should be able to make purchases at the commissary," Joe told me. He gave me a cigarette and continued, "The old-timers here tab new arrivals. We have a grapevine system on what is going on; what "screws" (guards) are being transferred and why; the "cons" being shifted to other prisons. We know who the stool pigeons are 87

It was a "shakedown" for contraband. T h e y had done the same thing to a l l the w a r d s of Two and T h r e e B u i l d i n g s . D u r i n g the shakedown we were l o c k e d i n the r e c r e a t i o n r o o m . The door was not opened u n t i l after they left the w a r d .

b r e a k them. E v e n t u a l l y , to a v e r t a U . S. C o n g r e s s i o n a l probe, they were r e l e a s e d through the efforts of a U . S . Senator.

D u r i n g the evening y a r d c a l l , Joe a c c o m p a n i e d me to see R o b ert Stroud, a felon s e r v i n g compounded life t e r m s . He was a l s o known as "The B i r d m a n of A l c a t r a z . " Joe b r i e f e d me on Stroud: "He's on the c r a p l i s t of most of the "cons, " but he's one of the best l e g a l b r a i n s among u s . He wrote a h e l l u v a good book on b i r d s .

W e ' v e a l r e a d y t a l k e d to h i m about you and-he'd l i k e to meet you. If he can't help, w e ' l l t r y somebody e l s e . " Stroud was about 70 y e a r s o l d ; for n e a r l y 50 of those years he had been kept i n s o l i t a r y confinement. He had k i l l e d s e v e r a l b r u tal, s a d i s t i c guards; Stroud t o l d me about it and a l s o how he had been r e c r u i t e d into h o m o s e x u a l i t y after y e a r s ofbeing i n p r i s o n s . The l a t t e r , he c l a i m e d , didn't o c c u r u n t i l after the p s y c h i a t r i s t s made t h e i r p r i s o n appearance w i t h t h e i r sexual deviate t h i n k i n g . F o r the m o t i o n p i c t u r e rights of what p u r p o r t e d to be his p r i son life s t o r y , Stroud t o l d me he had been p a i d $30, 000. 00. A l l of t h i s , he a s s e r t e d , went to J u s t i c e Department " a p p r o v e d " attorneys i n h i s l e g a l fight to obtain f r e e d o m on p a r o l e or on c o n ditional release. Two other m a n u s c r i p t s he had w r i t t e n , he attested, detailed what he had seen, experienced, and knew of penal b r u t a l i t y , t o r ture and nnanslaughter of p r i s o n e r s - -how many w e r e u s e d as e x p e r i m e n t a l guinea pigs by p s y c h i a t r i s t s and d o c t o r s - i n - t r a i n i n g , using C o m m u n i s t developed p s y c h i a t r i c techniques on the m i n d s and nerves of p r i s o n e r s . Although the F e d e r a l B u r e a u of P r i s o n s and the J u s t i c e Department p e r m i t t e d p u b l i c a t i o n of the " B i r d m a n of A l c a t r a z " and its f i l m i n g as a m o t i o n p i c t u r e under t h e i r c e n s o r s h i p , they banned r e l e a s e to the public of h i s two m a n u s c r i p t s - - t h o s e c o n s t r u c t i v e i n the exposure of K r e m l i n penal s a v a g e r y i n the U .

Stroud's death, a few y e a r s ago, was announced as a "heart attack. " H e a r t attacks and c o n f i s c a t i o n of p r o p e r t y have become a way of government for a c c u s e r s since the Kennedys and K a t z e n b a c h have been i n the saddles of p o w e r . In m y a r r e s t and i m p r i s o n ment, a l l m y p r o p e r t y was s e i z e d , i n c l u d i n g m a n u s c r i p t s , f i l m s c r i p t s , and t i t l e s of ownership r e p r e s e n t i n g $60, 000. 00 e s t a b l i s h e d m a r k e t value. W a r d e n Settle, his J u s t i c e Department aide, R o b i n N i c h o l a s , and the p r i s o n p s y c h i a t r i s t s , made i t c l e a r to me that I was a " w a r d " of the U . S. A t t o r n e y G e n e r a l and the F e d e r a l B u r e a u of P r i s o n s ; had no c i v i l or p r o p e r t y r i g h t s ; could not dispose of any p r o p e r t y I had, and the F e d e r a l G o v e r n m e n t could do w i t h it as it p l e a s e d . None of m y p r o p e r t y was ever r e t u r n e d to m e . That 92
was part of the psychiatric "punishment therapy" for "improper thinking" in making charges against government officials and the judiciary! Joe had informed Stroud of my determination not to subnait to the psychiatrists or the guards. "Seelig, " he declared, "I'll do what I can for you. Get a pass to the library. I work in the book bindery. Tonight I'll draw up a habeas petition for you. T e l l the librarian you want to see me. I'll have the document ready for you. Don't talk to me in the library. I'll drop it on the floor. Put it in your shoe. When you get in the legal workshop, type it, and then destroy my copy. " Stroud walked away, joining a couple of his cronies who were waiting for him. Despite our plans, I was not to get the chance to see Stroud again for six weeks for I was soon to receive more psychiatric therapy. When we returned to the ward, Joe told me to ask the "ward desk" officer for a couple of "cop-out" forms. In the recreation room he helped me fill them out. In one I requested legal workshop time, and in the other I asked for time in the prison l i brary. These requests are sent to the ward psychiatrist and, if he initials them, the requests are granted. The next morning after breakfast, I was ordered by thejward desk officer to go to the property office. I was given a pass and told how to get to the office, which is located in the tunnel across from the prison library. Two guards in the property room had already dumped the r e maining contents of my two large duffel bags on the floor. Nearby were my two large suitcases, a forty dollar dictionary along with other expensive books, a new portable typewriter for which I had paid $146.00, 10 reams of paper, about $30.00 worth of carbon paper, recording tapes of my children talking and singing, and about $2, 000. 00 worth of clothing. Among the many items missing, aside from the vast evidence and correspondence files, were the motion picture scripts and story properties and the receipt titles of registered ownership. The Justice Department had confiscated everything I owned i n cluding birth certificate and all identification papers. I was i m poverished to prevent my having funds to seek legal aid. In five months, my luggage and property had been transported across the country in the alleged custodial care of the U . S. marshals and the Justice Department. I had not been allowed to send anything to relatives or members of my family. Nor was I a l lowed to write them. When I tried the letters were not mailed. Missing with the evidence files and material were personal papers; correspondence, including income tax files; all court documents and material involving the Los Angeles County Superior Courts; names and addresses of my witnesses; dates of incidents; what occurred in Juvenile Court; data on the county social service workers (protecting and aiding homosexuals to escape investigation and prosecution); material and copies of U . S . Senate documents on homosexuals in government; photostats and photocopies from London on organized homosexual international syndicalism, their role in U . S. Foreign offices; as well as more than 40 per93

D u r i n g his tenure, the J u s t i c e Department, u n der U . S . A t t o r n e y G e n e r a l H e r b e r t B r o w n e l l , had a l r e a d y c l a m p e d down and s i l e n c e d other a c c u s e r s of the C o m m u n i s t - h o m o s e x u a l apparatus long known to be operating i n the government.

political prisoner was Lucille Miller. She was imprisoned without a trial on a fraudulent psychiatric charge. As soon as Kennedy and Katzenbach took office, the libel charge against me was substituted with the Communist psychiatric subterfuge to get r i d of an accuser by prosecuting him for alleged insanity instead of the arrest charge. A person declared "mentally incompetent" (improper thinking or writing what is called dangerous to accused public officials)-a "psychiatric illness"--has no human, civil, or property rights and I had even less rights as a political prisoner of Robert Kennedy and his brother J . F . K. ! The Kennedy clan's "Midas wealth," estimated at over a b i l lion dollars, can buy unquestionable political immunity for the family ad "sacred cows." Kennedy, Congressional records will disclose, has literally thumbed his nose at Senate Committees seeking to question him on his nefarious activities. His political power and wealth make him immune to criminal prosecution. So it is not really strange that neither the Kennedys,nor Johnson, nor Katzenbach have acknowledged or allowed due process of law on my petitions for a redress of grievances. It has been the practice of political scoundrels to maintain silence for elapsed time to bury the corruption of their regimes. The Springfield Penitentiary officials told me the government had no storage space to keep a prisoner's personal belongings or to safeguard his property, and that there was only one person to whom I could send my luggage at my own expense--and that person was an attorney, Alex Rothenberg of Baltimore, Maryland. It was obvious it meant I'd never see my personal belongings and property again. The guards told me the Justice Department had the power to dispose of my property in any way they saw fit. I protested that I wanted my belongings sent to my son, Philip, or my sister, M r s . Henry D. Klopfer, of Schenectady, New York. It was refused. The guard made a show of taking an inventory, listing items on two forms, and quit. "This is taking too much time," he said. I noticed that many articles were missing but my comments were met with silence. I was ordered to sign the inventory sheet and a slip for shipment to Rothenberg. I was told if I refused everything would be destroyed. They were liars and helped themselves to what they wantedl By this time the property room had a gathering of guards. I knew as soon as I left they woiald help themselves to what they wanted. I was asked if I wished to donate the paper, dictionary, books and office supplies to the penitentiary. I refused to give anything to the Justice Department or the Federal prison. I was ordered to return to my ward. Some months later, I received a letter from Rothenberg stating he got parcels of "rags" and old shirts, all of which he had donated to a charity; and a typewriter which had been smashed in the mails. There was no mention of the $40.00 dictionary, a new $30.00 electric razor or of anything else. The following day, I was told D r . Burger had refused approval to my requests to go to the prison library or to the legal workshops. I asked for some prison writing paper andwent to the rec95

At intervals, cold air gushed from the ventilator. I covered my ears with the palms of my hands, sat down on the cement floor in a corner, and then lay down. The shrill music numbed my mind; within a few minutes I was in a stupor. Continuous, high-pitched music can damage a person's mind, but, even without the music, strip-nude drain-holes are a terrible ordeal to suffer weeks and months. I recall coming out of the stupor; the music had ceased. There were four or five persons standing over me. A foot shoved my head to one side. "He's still breathing." "Move him out. " The voice was that of D r . Charles Keith, the ward psychiatrist. I had just undergone Pavlovian ultra-sound; a procedure civilized nations condemn as criminal and inhuman. (Several months later, I typed an affidavit to the U . S . District Court in Kansas City, Missouri, for which mailing was refused. However, the carbon copy was overlooked when my legal files were deleted. Prison rules prohibit mailing letters or documents which mention brutality or torture, or anything that occurs in the prison. Later, however, some of mine did get to the U. S. Supreme Court. In retaliation, months more of torture were inflicted on me. My health was destroyed.) My vision was blurry in regaining consciousness. (A strange numbness and continuous throbbing within my head actually lingered for nearly two months before slowly diminishing.) As I recall it, several persons were walking out of the cell and D r . Keith was among them. Keith was notorious in the penitentiary for experiments on prisoners' nervous systems. That I experienced! During my final four months of incarceration I was a Keith guinea pig in a 10-D cramped, nerve-breaking cell, and for the rest of my life I'll remember him as a psychiatric fiend. I remember a guard telling me to sit up. I was still lying on the cement cell floor, too weak to get up on my feet. When I did not respond to his order, he propped me in a sitting position against the wall, gave me a paper cup of water and then helped me to stand against the wall. Two guards led me out of the 10-B drain-hole, gave me cloth shufflers for my feet, and pajama bottoms. I sat on the tier stairway and put them on. The pajanM. bottoms were too large and had no cord around the waist; I held them up with my hand. The guard gave me another cup of water, then led me out of Ten Building into the tunnel to Two Building again placing me in a strip-nude drain-hole cell. I collapsed on the floor, remaining unconscious until the guards opened the cell door shouting, "Do you want your supper?" Roused by the racket, I got to my feet unassisted, managed to traverse the cell to the door and was about to step out when one of the guards warned: "Don't come out, kneel and reach for your plate. " A paper plate of mushed food with a cardboard spoon on it, was on the floor outside the open cell door. I knelt down, braced myself with one hand, and with the other hand dragged the food plate and a small paper cup of black coffee into my cell. The steel door slammed shut. I had no appetite for food and did not eat any of it. However, I had a tremendous thirst and drank the coffee. About one-half hour later the cell door opened and a guard ordered me to put the plate 97
on the floor outside of the c e l l door. He a s k e d me i f 1 wanted water, noticed I hadn't touched m y food and when I requested w a ter he told me to extend the empty coffee cup. U s u a l l y only one cup of water i s a l l o w e d , but he r e f i l l e d mine repeatedly until I had quenched m y t h i r s t . T h r e e guards always stand by an opened c e l l door i n Ten and Two B u i l d i n g s . A f t e r I had been given water the c e l l was s l a m m e d and l o c k e d . Sometime l a t e r my c e l l door was reopened by one guard who was alone. T h i s was a v i o l a t i o n of p r i s o n rules but he was a new guard who apparently had been shocked by the b r u t a l i t y he had witnessed. I never saw h i m again after this incident. "Seelig, you've had a rough time of i t , " he s a i d . " A l l of us guards a r e n ' t b a s t a r d s . " I didn't say anything. He p u l l e d a c i g arette f r o m his package and offered it to me. I took it and he flipped a flame f r o m his l i g h t e r . " N e v e r step out of the c e l l u n less you are told to do so. If you step out without being told, y o u ' l l be hurt. When y o u ' r e i n a 'hole' obey o r d e r s and don't talk back at any t i m e . I ' m giving you f r i e n d l y a d v i c e .

" He asked me why I had eaten so l i t t l e . I told h i m I had no a p petite. He then t o l d me that for three days and nights I had had no food or water i n the 1 0 - B m u s i c hole. It s u r p r i s e d me for it seemed as though i t had only been a few h o u r s . " Y o u ' l l probably be here at least s e v e r a l w e e k s , " he continued. "It depends on H o l m a n . D o n ' t antagonize h i m . P l a y i t c o o l . " He gave me another cigarette and c l o s e d the door. A f t e r the c i g a r ette I was about s m o k e d out. I i g n i t e d the second and c a r e f u l l y dropped the butt of the f i r s t down the d r a i n - h o l e . Reading m a t e r i a l and cigarettes a r e not a l l o w e d i n the h o l e s ; n o r do the p s y c h i a t r i s t s allow w r i t i n g paper, or d e l i v e r y of m a i l . The p r i s o n e r i s nude, sleeps on the b a r e cement floor, and stands or paces a few steps for e x e r c i s e . T h i s was m y f i r s t - - b u t not my l a s t - - o r d e a l i n the d r a i n - h o l e s . It was about two months before I r e c o v e r e d f r o m the effects of the m u s i c t o r t u r e . I don't r e c a l l m u c h of those w e e k s ; i f it were not for the carbons of documents i n m y f i l e s , there would be l i t t l e I could w r i t e about those months of h o r r o r a n d t o r t u r e i n the Medi c a l Center penitentiary. E a c h m o r n i n g after breakfast, the c e l l door i s opened, and a guard hands i n a mop, a p a i l of hot water, and a b r u s h to scrub the d r a i n - h o l e . It is flushed once d a i l y . A r e f u s a l to s c r u b it r e s u l t s i n a beating. I never refused to c o m p l y w i t h an o r d e r of f o r c e d labor i n the hole. M y r e s i s t a n c e was on the w a r d s . I saw p r i s o n e r s taken to the shower r o o m for beatings. Often I stood by the door and looked out the s m a l l , square, glass peep-hole. I knew i f I was to s u r v i v e the holes and n e r v e - b r e a k i n g c e l l s w i t h any sanity left, I ' d have to use m y i n t e l l i g e n c e against the p s y c h i a t r i s t s and guards who a r e s a d i s t i c , u n m e r c i f u l beasts when g i v e n the slightest excuse. W e e k l y , each p r i s o n e r i s taken out of the d r a i n - h o l e to the s h o w e r . He i s given a safety r a z o r with a l o c k e d - i n blade to shave. O r d i n a r y , cheap, bath soap i s used as lather to shave. He i s then r e t u r n e d to h i s c e l l hole. 98
Beatings a r e u s u a l l y given i n the shower r o o m because it i s m o r e convenient to hose off the blood w h i l e the v i c t i m l i e s unconscious on the f l o o r . When p r i s o n e r s fight off t h e i r guards i n the c e l l s , three or four of the goons enter. The "therapy" beatings are u n m e r c i f u l . The goon guards-knock the p r i s o n e r to the f l o o r , k i c k and stomp h i m u n t i l he i s u n c o n s c i o u s .

" E v e r y other day, the w a r d p s y c h i a t r i s t , w i t h two guards, e n t e r s the c e l l to observe the condition, attitude, and reactions of the p r i s o n e r to such inane questions as: " H o w a r e you doing? . . .

When I saw h i m , he was nude; a l s o , there a r e no c o r d s on p r i s o n pajamas. They a r e h e l d up by the p r i s o n e r ' s hand as he stands or w a l k s . M o r e o v e r , the pajama m a t e r i a l can not be t o r n or r i p p e d . A n d , i f further proof i s needed, m e d i c a l s c i e n t i s t s say it i s quite i m p o s s i b l e for a p e r s o n to strangle h i m self with his hands by twisting or p u l l i n g a c o r d around his neck. He may lose c o n s c i o u s n e s s but when he does this he is too l i m p to strangle h i m s e l f to death. In the event that he had somehow p r o c u r e d a c o r d , d r a i n - h o l e s and s o l i t a r y c e l l s have no place to tie the end of the c o r d . B e r b e r no doubt d i e d of s t r a n g u l a t i o n but not l i k e l y by his own hands. M a n y t i m e s I had to c r a w l for m y food and w a t e r . Nine t i m e s I suffered the d r a i n - h o l e s , five i n 2-1 E a s t and four s e s s i o n s i n 10-B W a r d . T h e r e w e r e nights I did not expect to see another tom o r r o w . A f t e r four a d d i t i o n a l months i n the 10-D n e r v e - s h a t t e r ing c e l l I had l i t t l e r e s i s t e n c e left. M y only incentive to s u r v i v e was my daughter and son. Without me they had no one to fight for them. In 2-1 E a s t , 1 0 - B , and 10-D fixtures of c o l o r e d l i g h t s are on 99
day and night. L a t e r , I l e a r n e d they are e x p e r i m e n t a l for the effect they have on a p e r s o n ' s m i n d . The m u s i c torture was i n tended not only to b r e a k m y health but to d e m o r a l i z e m e . D o c t o r s have told me the incessant s h r i l l m u s i c penetrates the m i n d r e g a r d l e s s of stupor or onconsciousness. C o m m u n i s t p s y c h i a t r i s t s and acientists i n Soviet R u s s i a for m o r e than 40 y e a r s have experimented on a n i m a l s and p r i s o n e r s w i t h c o l o r e d lights and m u s i c tempo to determine how much s t r a i n and p r e s s u r e as w e l l as t o r t u r e and b r u t a l i t y an a n i m a l and a h u man m i n d can absorb before it becomes weakened and confused b r e a k i n g down into t e m p o r a r y or complete i n s a n i t y . Absolute obedience to guards and p s y c h i a t r i s t s is n e c e s s a r y for effective b r a i n - w a s h i n g . That includes acceptance or penal s e r v i t u d e - - m o p p i n g f l o o r s , cleaning toilet bowls, or any w o r k a s s i g n e d .

It numbed my m i n d , and weeks a f t e r w a r d I felt fatigued and ment a l l y exhausted. I slept most of that month i n the 2-1 E a s t d r a i n hole as w e l l as i n the s o l i t a r y confinement c e l l into w h i c h I was l a t e r moved. It had an i r o n cot but no m a t t r e s s . I was t r a n s f e r r e d f r o m there to N u m b e r T h r e e B u i l d i n g on W a r d 3-2 E a s t . It was one of the p r e f e r r e d buildings i n the penitentiary. In T h r e e B u i l d i n g there were only a few unconvicted p r i s o n e r s and not many l i f e r s ; most sentences d i d not exceed 20 y e a r s . Some were convicted for tax evasion and s i m i l a r non-violent fede r a l offenses. The r e c r e a t i o n r o o m had ping-pong and playing c a r d s . A f t e r the work-day, bridge and hearts games were p l a y e d . The felons soon knew I was too weak for another i m m e d i a t e d r a i n hole s e s s i o n and a d v i s e d me to r e g a i n m y strength before 1 r e sumed my p a s s i v e r e s i s t a n c e . That meant submitting to w o r k o r d e r e d by guards and p s y c h i a t r i s t s on the w a r d . W i t h i n a few days, I was c a l l e d before the p r i s o n a d m i n i s t r a tive staff to be a s s i g n e d w o r k . The staff board was p r e s i d e d over by A s s o c i a t e Warden Mayden, the p s y c h o l o g i c a l c l i n i c a l d i r e c t o r R o b i n N i c h o l a s , and s e v e r a l p s y c h i a t r i s t s . I argued my c o n s t i tutional rights and berated them for the maltreatment. Mayden i n f o r m e d me I had no rights; that under Sections 4244-46, I had been d e c l a r e d insane and I was a " w a r d " of the U . S . A t t o r n e y Gene r a l . Mayden further stated I was to be " r e h a b i l i t a t e d " with whatever therapy the p s y c h i a t r i c staff believed would r e s t o r e my m i n d to "sanity and proper t h i n k i n g . " He told me the staff had decided my mental competence could be r e s t o r e d by doing j a n i t o r i a l w o r k . When I s a i d m y p r o f e s s i o n was w r i t i n g and editing, he r e p l i e d he did not believe I'd ever again be capable for e d i t o r i a l w o r k . He then r e m i n d e d me: "We have p e r s u a s i v e ways of r e m o l d i n g your mind. " N i c h o l a s s a i d the W a r d 3-2 E a s t guard, Conway, would be notified I was a s s i g n e d to o r d e r l i e l a b o r . I asked h i m what the l a bor would be. "Anything M r . Conway o r d e r s you to do." N i c h o l a s r e p l i e d . They o r d e r e d me to r e t u r n to the w a r d ; N i c h o l a s signed m y pass. P r i s o n e r s leaving a w a r d a r e given a pass to r e a c h a destination and it must be signed to r e t u r n to the w a r d . Conway made no attempt to put me to w o r k that day. He was a new guard, t r a n s f e r r e d f r o m L e a v e n w o r t h penitentiary, and the 100
prison "grapevine" reported he v/as sent to the Medical Center for safety because of his brutality to Leavenworth felons and they had plotted revenge. Several of the felons on the ward had law books. I told them I had appealed my case audit had been docketed. When they learned I had not replied to the court letter or filed a document in support of my appeal, I was advised to do so as soon as I could get legal workshop time. I told them I had no training in legal work and did not know what I should file. One of the felons gave me a law book to'read and penciled the form to be followed in typing a document. He said the month I had spent in the drain-hole may have invalidated my appeal. An answer is required within 30 days. The Medical Center, I learned, discouraged prisoners from appealing sentences and placed obstacles in the way. The felons did not believe the incident causing me to be sent to the drainhole was for any other reason than to invalidate my appeal. It was suggested I type an appeal for a 60 day extension of time to file a brief and give the reason why I had not answered the court. I penciled the petition on prison writing paper. The convicts told me to carry it in my shoe to the legal library and take it out when the guard was not looking; type it, and destroy the penciled petition. It is against prison rules at Springfield for prisoners to assist each other in legal work or to carry papers of any kind to the l e gal workshop. If caught, it means drain-hole punishmentl The next day I was told by the ward desk-officer it would be several days before legal workshop time would be available for me. There were but four typewriters in the workshop for about 1, 300 prisoners. Very few prisoners were allowed legal workshop time. On an average, I learned, there are at least 60 p r i soners daily seeking time for legal work. My request for the legal workshop time included the reason that I had not answered the letter from the court the previous month. The ward desk officer assured me the prison legal workshop officer had scheduled me for legal work. Guard Conway called to me: "You have been assigned to orderlie labor. You will mop the floor twice daily. Later, I'll assign other jobs. The mopping has already been done for this morning. " That afternoon, after lunch, I joined two other orderlies sweeping the floors and mopping. When the evening yard call came, I went out and tried to find Joe. He had not come out, but Stroud was in the yard and I walked over to him. He knew I had been in the hole. "You'll be lucky if your appeal is still alive," Stroud said, "the cons in the record office have gone through your file. You have a good case. Base your appeal on violations of constitutional rights and non-jurisdiction of the Los Angeles courts. Send along an affidavit with the petition. They transferred you to Los Angeles on Rule 21 and it was a phony procedure. " Stroud said he did not want to be seen talking to me; he walked off and I sat on a bench with several other prisoners. I did as little walking as possible since the tight shoes were so painful. On the ward, I took them off and either sat on the bed or lay down. Evenings I played dominoes with my shoes off and placed under 101
the c h a i r . Two days l a t e r I got m y c a l l and pass for the l e g a l w o r k s h o p . I typed the petitions and an affidavit and tore up the p e n c i l e d c o p i e s . The affidavit r e v i e w e d b r i e f l y the t r i a l t r a n s f e r after I had been found sane, and I c i t e d the F o u r t h , F i f t h , and Sixth A m e n d ments i n violations of constitutional r i g h t s . M y filing of the petitions and affidavit was under f o r m a p a u p e r i s . A request to file i n f o r m a pauperis a l s o must be f i l e d with each document, as w e l l as a c e r t i f i c a t i o n notice that copies were put i n the m a i l for the U . S. A t t o r n e y . I also i n c l u d e d a p e t i t i o n for t r a n s c r i p t s of the proceedings i n A m a r i l l o and L o s A n g e l e s , as w e l l as for r e c o v e r y of my confiscated evidence f i l e s . The next day I was c a l l e d to the r e c o r d s office. W . L . Tappana, the r e c o r d s officer, s a i d the petition for extension of t i m e had been rejected. The r e a s o n I had given for not having r e p l i e d to the c o u r t ' s letter t o l d of m y being i n the strip-nude drain-hole for a month. Tappana s a i d nothing on p r i s o n "punishment therapy" could be t o l d i n a p e t i t i o n to c o u r t s . He suggested I give another r e a s o n , and i s s u e d me another pass to the w o r k s h o p for that afternoon. I had to cater to Tappana as he did the n o t a r i z i n g of the documents and a s s i g n e d l e g a l w o r k s h o p t i m e . The w a l k to the A d m i n i s t r a t i o n B u i l d i n g f r o m T h r e e B u i l d i n g through the tunnel and back again was t o r t u r e on m y l a m e d l e g s . Soft c o r n s had f o r m e d between the toes. When I got back to the w a r d office, I a s k e d for m e d i c a t i o n for the corns and a l s o put i n a request for p r o p e r fitting shoes. The desk officer told me the p s y c h i a t r i s t s would have to approve i s s u a n c e of m e d i c a t i o n and an o r d e r for shoes. B o t h requests w e r e i g n o r e d by the p s y c h i a trists. That afternoon, I retyped the p e t i t i o n for extension of t i m e . The other documents had not been m a i l e d . Tappana s a i d he would wait on the p e t i t i o n and, after n o t a r i z i n g i t , he would send a l l the documents at the same t i m e . The p e t i t i o n m e r e l y s a i d that due to no fault of his (petitioner's) own he has been unable to p r o c e e d i n the p r e p a r a t i o n and the p r e s e n t a t i o n of his appeal to the C o u r t . A copy of that petition dated June 2, 1961, follows: In The United States C o u r t of A p p e a l s San F r a n c i s c o , C a l i f o r n i a F r e d e r i c k Seelig Vs.

the U . S. Attorney and the clerk of the lower U. S. Court via the mails. Respectfully submitted June 2, 1961 Subscribed and Sworn before me on this 2nd day Frederick Seelig of June, 1961. The "boom" was lowered two days later. Guard Conway came in the recreation room after I had helped do the morning mopping. "Seelig, your bed is sloppy, " he said. "In the Navy, we could bounce a half a dollar off the blanket. Hereafter, all beds on the ward must be tight and snug. Redo your bed the way I want it. " "I was not in the Navy, Conway, and I make the bed as I would if I were in my own home. Show me how you want it. I don't know, " I replied. "Don't talk back to me, Seelig; address me as 'sir' or 'mister.' Do as you are told or you'll wish you had. " Conway walked away. I went back to the ward, smoothed out the blanket, and shoved the ends under the mattress a little more tightly. Whether a half dollar could bounce, I didn't know. I returned to the recreation room. A few minutes later, Conway returned, "I've got another job for you. I want the floor polished to shine. See that polisher?" I looked over to where he pointed. It was an enormous, heavy machine and I had no idea how to operate it. To maneuver that monster when every step was sheer agony, would soon have me crippled. "Conway, I know nothing about machines, except a typewriter, and until I get proper shoes, I'm not about to push that machine. " Conway marched into the psychiatrist's office, returned, and motioned to me. "Clean out your locker and put your .things in a pillow case. " I returned to the ward and did as I was told. "Okay, smart guy, follow me!" It was the same story--back to the drain-hole in Ward 10-B. At least the shoe torture was ended for a time, but sleeping nude on a cold, damp, cement floor, in a room filled with the nauseating stench of an unflushed toilet, was a poor substitute. The same stupidity prevailed with the psychiatric interrogation--"how are you feeling --have you any complaints?" Dr. Keith was the interrogator. "No complaints. How long will I be in here this time?" "That's up to you, Seelig. Whenever your attitude changes we will decide whether you can go back to population. " He and the two guards walked out, not forgetting their usual psychological malevolence, the slamming of the cell door. About two weeks later, D r , Robin Nicholas visited me, claiming he was my "parole officer!" (Despite the fact that I was NOT A CONVICTED PRISONER serving a sentence. ) "How would you like to work for me, typing in my office, Seelig?" I was sitting in a corner against the wall. This was the "soft" approach of Communist psychiatry- - just another technique to in103

A g a i n I was p l a c e d i n the hole, but my court documents got into the m a i l ! The p r i s o n p s y c h i a t r i c staff put me through three i n q u i s i t i o n s . A spotlight was focused on a c h a i r on w h i c h I was o r d e r e d to sit, but I p r e f e r r e d to stand. I was surrounded by a c i r c l e of seated p s y c h i a t r i s t s , p s y c h o l o g i s t s , p r i s o n officials and chaplains, i n cluding W a r d e r R . O.

Meanwhile the tight shoes continued to aggravate the foot and leg condition to the extent that I had to drag my feet when moving. The psychiatrists and guards increased their pressure on me but Appeals Court Clerk Schmid upset their plans by his correspondence with me. The Medical Center officials could not risk the stoppage of my replies without running the risk of being in contempt of the Appellate Court. Due to this, I was able to defy prison rules against disclosure of maltreatment. In a document July 29, 1961, An Affidavit as as Amendment to Case No. 1194: "Diabolical techniques are being applied; endanger my health and inflict cruel pain as "therapy." Old, sweat-soaked shoes do not fit feet; cause unbearable pain to feet and legs, deforming toes. Nerves of legs are raw. Proper fit shoes still denied. "Also, petitioner has had two meetings with psychiatrists Nicholas and Burger. Both ridicule his contention homosexuals are perverts and have told him his "improper thinking" will keep him here indefinitely. Prison officials tell him l i bel trial will give him ten-year sentence. "Prison wing where he is quartered is known as "snake pit" because most of prisoners are insane, imbeciles, morons, and zombies. His being there is punishment until he submits to psychiatrists. "He is told he is subject to compulsory labor in brush factory. Petitioner refuses to serve in psychiatric slave servitude. For writing this document he expects further psychiatric brutality. " The above affidavit followed a letter to Clerk Schmid notifying him to expect an "important document" in affidavit form. The letter was mailed and so was the affidavit! However, Burger o r dered me to the drain-hole cell again. Infected sores on my legs and feet caused me to crawl for my food, reducing me to the status of an animal. More than thirty petitions, motions, and affidavits were put in for mailing to Judge Yankwich's court. They sought hearings on the rigged and corrupt proceedings; violations of constitutional rights; bias; and his dual role as prosecutor and judge. None of these were allowed hearings by Judge Yankwich. Appeals to the U. S, Court of Appeals were also denied hearing. It was the same story in the Kansas City and the St. Louis Federal Courts. Civil rights were scuttled--Los Angeles and Kansas City Federal Courts ruled that the Federal Bureau of Prisoners felon regulations also applied to unconvicted prisoners. The U. S. Supreme Court received my appeal and petition for Certiorari on or about November 11, 1961. It was accepted and docketed December 19, 1961, as No. 841 Misc. My first documents supporting my appeal were refused by the U . S. Supreme Court for non-compliance with the court's rules. The rules are far more complicated than the lower courts. The Medical Center refused to furnish a copy of the Supreme Court's rules book. On my complaint, the Supreme Court mailed me a rules book. One rule referred to another rule for compliance. Documents and affidavits must be as an amendment to the original docketed docu106

" Judge Duncan, as w e l l as Judges Y a n k w i c h and G i b s o n , v i o l a ted the F i r s t A r t i c l e of the Constitution: " T h e p r i v i l e g e of the w r i t of habeas corpus s h a l l not be suspended. " In effect, Judge D u n can i m p o s e d a n i n e - m o n t h sentence without t r i a l o r c o n v i c t i o n of any offense whatsoever. M y r e p l y was by documented l e t t e r on September 20, 1961: " Y o u r l e t t e r with r e t u r n of my^petition for W r i t of Habeas C o r p u s , was given to me today. Y o u denied m y r i g h t for a 107
W r i t of Habeas C o r p u s . The nine months is tantamount to a sentence without t r i a l or conviction of any offense. "The petition you returned contained ample ground for a hearing and an investigation: V i o l a t i o n s of rights guaranteed by the U . S . Constitution, Rules of P r o c e d u r e for U . S . C o u r t s ; brutality, torture and v a r i e d f o r m s of maltreatment in county j a i l s as w e l l as i n this F e d e r a l P e n i t e n t i a r y . When I sought to appeal rulings of the K a n s a s C i t y F e d e r a l C o u r t s , Judge R i c h a r d Duncan of K a n s a s C i t y denied that right. H i s letter of October 16, 1961, stated: "I declined you to p r o c e e d in f o r m a pauperis in the filing and prosecution of the documents you sent here, on the grounds that there were no allegations of a n y facts which would confer j u r i s d i c t i o n upon this c o u r t . T h e r e f o r e , I a m declining to p e r m i t you to file notice of appeal i n f o r m a p a u p e r i s , because there is nothing f r o m which to appeal. " M y r e p l y to Judge Duncan follows: "Your letter of October I6th returning documents, p e t i tioning for rulings on constitutional rights and confiscation of evidence, stating I have not alleged any ground for W r i t of Habeas C o r p u s , evidences e v a s i v e n e s s . It also d i s r e g a r d s the Constitution. The C o u r t , in effect, condones i m p r i s o n ment, brutality and t o r t u r e . T h e C o u r t , under those c i r c u m stances should have the courage to t e l l me that I a m d i s f r a n c h i s e d as an A m e r i c a n ; that rights supposedly s a c r e d to a l l A m e r i c a n s a r e junked. " A f t e r a battle of letters and disputes on the B i l l of Rights, I finally got appeals into the St. L o u i s U . S. C o u r t of A p p e a l s . T o r r i d l e t t e r s a l s o were exchanged. T h o s e l e t t e r s , damaging to the appellate court judges, were seized f r o m m y p r i s o n legal file so there would be no r e c o r d . The St. L o u i s F e d e r a l Appellate C o u r t denied so many h e a r ings on'the B i l l of Rights that I made them exhibits in Amendment Affidavits to my appeal to the U . S . Supreme C o u r t . T h e p r i s o n p s y c h i a t r i s t s , Judges Yankwich, of L o s A n g e l e s , and F l o y d G i b son of K a n s a s C i t y , and the B u r e a u of P r i s o n s then t r i e d to p r e vent m y filing affidavits and petitions on the p s y c h i a t r i c c r i m i n ality i n t o r t u r e techniques. But it became apparent to the J u s t i c e Department and the p s y c h i a t r i s t s that the U . S, Supreme C o u r t could not ignore what I had documented. I had a l s o been refused the right to c o r r e s p o n d with attorneys. T h e r e were also so many denials for hearings and rulings by the San F r a n c i s c o F e d e r a l C o u r t of A p p e a l s on c o r r u p t p r a c t i c e s , r i g g e d p r o c e e d i n g s , and p r i s o n t o r t u r e s , that on O c t o b e r 20, 1961, I wrote a documented letter a d d r e s s e d to J u s t i c e s R i c h a r d B . C h a m b e r s , O l i v e r D . H a m i l i n , and B e n C . Duniway, stating: " Y o u r ruling dated October 17, denying leave to file a p p l i cations for W r i t s of Ivlandamus (on Judge Yankwich) was just r e c e i v e d . It completes a perfect s c o r e of denials of e v e r y type of hearing and i n effect it tosses the U n i t e d States C o n s titution i n a sewer, with R u l e s of C o u r t P r o c e d u r e made a m o c k e r y .

pedieht to railroad an accuser, confiscate his property and evidence to protect homosexual government perversion; the Court condones torture and the criminality of psychiatry. Have any of you the courage to answer this letter?" There was no reply and denial of petitions for hearings on violations of constitutional rights continued. Judge Yankwich, on October 27, 1961, also ruled: "The petition of Frederick Seelig, dated October 23, 1961, in the above-entitled case to surrender confiscated evidence is hereby denied. "The petition of Frederick Seelig to nullify proceedings, testimony and orders issued by the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles for violations of his rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution, and for violations of Rules of Procedure mandatory for Federal courts, is also denied. "It appears from the face of these petitions that the plaintiff is seeking remedies which are not available to him in the circumstances of the case. " My reply to Judge Yankwich on October 31, 1961, was with notice of appeal and a letter that said: "This letter acknowledges your denials. In your denial, I quote, '. . . circumstances of the case.' Would you be so kind as to explain what you mean by .'circumstances?' Does it refer to how the case was riggedin your court, the threat to me unless I pleaded guilty I would be declared insane; the covering up of homosecual perversion in state and federal government? Your record: Denial of all petitions for hearings on violations of Bill of Rights, denying forma pauperis for transcripts, copies of indictment, transfer motion, sanity report you suppressed, and denying habeas corpus writs. The transcripts will disclose your bias, dual role as judge and prosecutor, as well as corrupt proceedings. I request that you disqualify yourself from this case." Meanwhile, I opened with a barrage of documents and affidavits to the Kansas City and St. Louis Federal Courts which have jurisdictiorf over the Medical Center Prison for court actions. But, none of those courts adhered to the Constitution, nor would they give rulings on violations of civil and human rights. Carbons of the letters, rulings, and actions filed are too numerous to detail and quote. The penitentiary officials made it clear to me that I was not in a hospital, but in a prison for punishment. For that reason, I was assigned a parole officer. Later, the Kansas City Federal Coarts upheld it. On May 8, 1962, a memo to the parole officer, Robert Nicholas, protested non-mailing of documents and letters: "The refusal by you to mail a documented letter, with attached carbon copies of documents as filed in courts as evidence of proof of the conditions of homosexual influence and corruption, further confirms how corrupt Federal agencies are. "My daughter and son are now again in the hands of perverts and that is NOT AN A L L E G A T I O N but a matter of court record . . . and you refuse to allow documents to leave this 109

'Rigged' Supreme Court Hoax Decisions Cover-up Corruption, Judiciary Frauds! Massive corruption by the Justice Department and collusive intricate subterfuge rulings by a pro-communism Supreme Court, undermined and destroyed my appeals case with frauds and deceptions in hoax decisions handed down June 18, 1962. Never in the history of jurisprudence have there been such a multitude of unethical actions and corrupt practices. Although the decisions gave the impression I had won the case, none were carried out, nor were any even remotely related to the constitutional issues. The Justice Department's Solicitor General Archibald Cox wrote a "joker" ruling on a remote technicality to serve the aberrant interests of the Supreme Court and Justice Department. The Cox ruling supposedly was to remand the case back to the San F r a n cisco U.S. Court of Appeals, but it never got there for hearings. The decisions were nothing but judicial "smoke-screens" to conceal the collusion, corruption, and the Supreme Court's hidden and unpublicized precedance against evaluating the legality of any foreign-originated legislation for Americans emanating from the United Nations! Ignominously ignored were more than 150 violations of the B i l l of Rights and Articles of the Constitution; the Justice Department confiscation and destruction of evidence damaging to the government; seizure of my son and daughter, assets and property; illegal imprisonment, penal brutality, inhuman cruelties and torture; the Justice Department's rigging of proceedings, falsifying documents, and perjury by its witness--a proven liar with a criminal record. The "joker" ruling provided the Supreme Court an open-door exit on adjudicating the unconstitutionality of the Kremlin-drafted, American-Communist psychiatric penal statutes. These statutes violate the Bill of Rights and the appeals raised Americanism issues on human and civil rights. It was the first case to reach the Supreme Court with these issues. The deference to the Kremlin and the United Nations was chilling and provided evidence Americans no longer have the protec111
tion of the B i l l of Rights against the perversity of political tyranny imprisonnaents that prevail in Soviet Russia to silence, incapacitate and destroy government accusers and dissenters. Nor is the Constitution now the Supreme Authority over American lives, moral codes and property. The sovereignty was obliterated by the United Nations Charter when President Truman ramrodded ratification by the U. S. Senate in 1945. It was known then that President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the so-called "Great Humanitarian," and his "brain-trust" politburo of traitors, i n cluding the State Department, Alger Hiss, and FDR's homosexual, intimate pal, Sumner Welles, had made secret agreements with Soviet Premier Stalin. The United States and the world have been in turmoil ever since. Out of those agreements came creation of the United Nations. Then the Kremlin mental health psychiatry was introduced in the United States "for the quiet conquest of your country!" Thousands of European doctors, trained in Kremlin psychopolitical psychiatry, were imported while hundreds of young American doctors were indoctrinated at the Springfield Federal Penitentiary. The criminality of the psychiatric fiends, the Kennedy-Johnson perversionists in the Justice Department and the White House I experienced. The Cox "joker" ruling served nefarious purposes. It put me in a far more precarious predicament, shattered my health and nearly cost me my life. It didn't matter to the Justice Department or the Kennedys how they got rid of politically explosive Americanism issues that would tarnish their image or what corrupt savagery they used. Not one v i c t i m - M r s . Lucille Miller, Richard Pavlick, General Edwin Walker or myself, among the hundreds who were in tyranny imprisonment, has ever been brought to trial after being smeared on arrest charges. No trial was ever intended. As it's done in Russia, it is also copied in the United States. The Supreme Court decisions were as phony as the mentallycrippled Kennedys, whose images would reflect scoundrels and liars, were they not tinseled with deifying halos by prostituted publicists. Mayhem was provided for me in the Cox hoax ruling. Homosexual Walter Jenkins, LBJ's top aide, likely contributed. Sodomites are known for the murderous pleasure of torture. Award of Certiorari, vacating of judgment, forma pauperis and remanding the appeals case to San Francisco were mandates of the Supreme Court, but I got none of it. Cox's convenient "joker" ruling provided the Justice Department with ample time: 1) to rig proceedings 2) for more prison psychiatric torture 3) to prohibit me from continuing as my own attorney 4) to apply "persuasive therapy" until I signed a contract with a Justice Department approved lawyer 5) to compel me to withdraw all pending court actions 6) to transfer the case from San Francisco to Judge Yankwich in Los Angeles for invalidating the Supreme Court decisions 7) to disallow trial for alleged libel and hearings on the legality of the imprisonment 8) abruptly dismiss all charges and set me free with odds against my living very long after release! Throughout the appeals in four Federal courts I was denied counsel and legal assistance. I had been imprisoned as "too i n sane" to understand court proceedings and too mentally incompe112
tent to assist counsel in nny defense. Without training in law, court procedures or the complicated legal work to prepare documents, amendments, or knowing the difficult rules to proceed in the Supreme Court, I won the rarity of Certiorari few law firms win in a lifetime. It was accomplished despite obstacles placed in my way, torture, and attempted brainwashing. But there was no intent to allow me to have the Certiorari. The Supreme Court itself violated the Constitution in refusing to appoint counsel to argue my appeals when the case came before that tribunal. It gave U.S. Solicitor General Cox free-wheeling to manipulate the decisions in the best interests of the Justice Department. In effect. Cox had put a "fix" on the Supreme Court to hand down decisions that were merited but would never be carried out. A political prisoner soon learns he cannot have much hope, if any, for constitutional justice, human or civil rights. When Yankwich received copies of my writs against him, he quickly issued another order to the prison psychiatrists to transport me to any state insane asylum that would take me! Apparantly none could be found. The Supreme Court decisions were known to about half the prison population before I learned of them. Had it not been for the "grapevine" I don't know if I'd ever have been told. A "lifer" who worked in the Warden's office got the news first off the teletype from the Justice Deaprtment. He read enough to pass the word along I had "won" the appeals case in the granting of Certiorari. A former state judge, serving a sentence for alleged income tax evasion, relayed the news to me in the prison yard during a recreation period. I had just come out of the "hole" and was r e gaining strength with exercise walking the circular yard. The former judge told me I was the first prisoner at the Springfield Penitentiary to win the rarity of Certiorari. He explained the Certiorari was never grantedunless the court was convinced there had been violations of the Constitution. It was believed I'd be leaving the prison very soon and freed. The Justice Department, I was told, avoids confrontation of a Certiorari since it would rather dismiss the prosecution charges and free the prisoner than risk exposure of its corrupt practices. When several days passed and I still was not told of the decisions nor given copies of them by prison officials, I felt something was wrong and that was confirmed. The psychiatrists ordered guards to confine me in the 2-2 East prison wing with the mindless creatures. But I did not stay long. Within a few days guards ordered me to follow them. We took the elevator down to the tunnel toward 2-1 East. Whether or not my eighth walk to the "death - row" drain-holes meant my brains were to be broiled by electro shocks was not indicated. Regardless, It had an ominous undertone. I was stripped and thrust into a "hole. " For 15 months the Communist psychiatric techniques for remolding minds had failed to "condition my reflexes" for obedient • ubmissiveness. Howeyer, being in the hands of Holman, a calloused, unmerciful fiend, with a sadistic infantile intelligence, gave me a fatalistic outlook. 113
Again I suffered the excruciating discomfort of the cement floor. I'd lie down in exhaustion, nerves flinching at the painful, abrasive cement. I knew it would take about a week before I'd adjust to it as well as the screams and moans from other cells. I had done so seven times previously. It takes about a week to become numb to sleeping on cement. When guards opened the cell door there was the usual vacuum of suspense--had they come to strap me to a roller table for electro shocks so I would never again draw a sane breath? On the fourth day, an envelope was handed me; inside was a copy of one decision and a letter from the Supreme Court's office of the clerk. It was dated June 18, 1962. The letter stated I had been granted Certiorari and "other relief including your Writ of Prohibition and Writ of Mandamus." Both writs were against Judge Yankwich but to this day I have never been able to obtain copies. The Prohibition Writ stopped the prison officials from transporting me to St. Elizabeth's. Yankwich immediately issued another order to have me shipped to any state asylum that would have me. Yankwich ignored the Mandamus to abide by the Constitution . The decision reads: "Seelig vs. 'United States, No. 841, October Term, 196l. The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the Petition for Writ of Certiorari are granted. The judgment is vacated and the case is remanded for reconsideration in light of the E l l i s v. United States, 356 U.S. 674, and Coppedge v. United States, 369 U. S. 438. M r . Justice Frankfurter took no part in the consideration or decision in this case. " The "joker" ruling written by Cox "for reconsideration in light of the Ellis V . United States . . . " was never reconsidered, but was merely an instrument to provide ample time to destroy my case, invalidate the decisions by a strange action of a lower court, and to give the prison psychiatrists sufficient time to "workme over." As I stood by the cell door studying the contents of the decision, wondering what was in the other decision and if there were any rulings on violations of the Constitution, I heard someone in the corridor outside my door, talking. Looking out of the peepIj^ole, I saw a prisoner, age about 75, with flowing white hair. I heard him say, "now what are you going to do with m e ? " He was another of the mystery prisoners at the penitentiary. There are quite a few and seldom does anyone see them. The lifers in the administration office who know the records of every prisoner entering or leaving the penitentiary, and who read nearly all confidential messages, had little information on the "senator." For years, his file, I was told, had been sealed and only the Warden had access to it. Like the other mystery prisoners, he was rarely brought out of his tight-security solitary confinement cell. As the "senator" was being escorted past my cell, I heard the guard reply, "Don't worry, Seantor, we're only taking you to the shower. " Several hours later two guards opened the cell door and beckoned me to come out. They told me nothing but led me to the clothing closet. Convict garb, including shoes, were tossed at my feet and I dressed. Then I was escorted to the elevator and back 114
to the p r i s o n wing of the m i n d l e s s c r e a t u r e s . Why I was taken from the d r a i n - h o l e , I don't know; at least it was a r e l i e f to know my b r a i n s were not going to be b r o i l e d . It w i l l never be known how many S p r i n g f i e l d p r i s o n e r s have been t o r t u r e d to death, m a i m e d by beatings, or turned into mindless creatures by e l e c t r o shocks. D u r i n g the four days I was i n "death r o w " I did not see a p r i son official or a p s y c h i a t r i s t . T h e r e was no further news about the Supreme Court d e c i s i o n s . A l l I got out of the hoax d e c i s i o n s were four additional months of p r i s o n P a v l o v i a n t e r r o r i s m . W h i l e i n the zombie wing, I was given l e g a l w o r k shop time to answer the Supreme C o u r t letter. It was accompanied with an affidavit on my being put i n a drain-hole after decisions were handed down. The next day two guards r e m o v e d me f r o m 2-2 E a s t to the equally dreaded 10 B u i l d i n g . I was taken to p s y c h i a t r i s t K e i t h ' s office. He asked how m y nerves were holding up and I told h i m "quite w e l l . " A c t u a l l y , m y nerves w e r e taut f r o m the never-ending o r deals, but I never admitted anything that would give satisfaction to the p s y c h i a t r i c fiends. " Y o u won'thave a nerve left w h e n i get through with y o u , " K e i t h r e p l i e d . " Y o u ' v e caused us enough trouble, slandered too many p e o p l e - - y o u ' r e going i n 10-D If you don't know what that m e a n s y o u ' U soon l e a r n . Y o u r nuisance w i l l be ended. Y o u ' l l r e m e m ber me as long'as you l i v e . " I made no comment. 10-D meant the n e r v e - b r e a k i n g c e l l s . I had been told no one was known to have s u r v i v e d those c r a m p e d c e l l s longer than s i x months with much of anything left of their nervous systems or their sanity. F o r a certainty I ' l l always r e m e m b e r that s a d i s t i c , P a v l o v i a n fiend, K e i t h , not only for what he did to me i n 1 0 - D , but a l s o for the m u r d e r o u s u l t r a - s o u n d i n 1 0 - B . F o r m o r e than four years I've t r i e d to get a C o n g r e s s i o n a l h e a r i n g , but the C o n g r e s s m e n and Senators are too busy t r y i n g to c o v e r - u p their own c o r r u p t i o n , s u b v e r s i v e a c t i v i t i e s and strange bank accounts while the Kennedys buy. elections and judgeships with the P r e s i d e n c y as their jackpot. It's done as s i m p l y as the m o r o n o i d K j i t l i did in pushing a button on his desk to summon two p r i s o n guards for "open season" on government a c c u s e r s . The guards took me down the 10-Building c o r r i d o r , p r e s s e d a button to open a h e a v i l y insulated steel door with a " D " painted on it. F o u r guards waited i n s i d e . I was o r d e r e d to s t r i p , searched, and o r d e r e d to r e d r e s s . A guard with fists clenched asked me if I had anything to say. I stood mute. He took me up the steel s t a i r w a y to a second floor t i e r of s m a l l c e l l s , opened a steel door and l o c k e d me i n . The c e l l had a cot and toilet and space for three short steps. F r o m then on, the p r e s s u r e to undermine nerves and emotions never ceased. E v e r y m o r n i n g , K e i t h and N i c h o l a s came i n , a s k e d me how I felt and what I thought of the court d e c i s i o n s . N i c h o l a s said they were meaningless and m y affidavits d i s c l o s e d I knew too much. K e i t h s i l e n t l y made notes.
115
F r o m one day to the next there was uneasy suspense. Guards would open the cell door, order me on my knees to scrub the toilet inside and out, threaten beatings if I were not instantly obedient. Nerves worsened in tautness and the pressure was explosive. Since I was acting as my own attorney, I was allowed out of the cell to answer court letters. My replies were accompanied by affidavits; one against a Justice Department memorandum for an order filed by Kansas City U . S . Attorney Millin, regarding cases Nos. 13930, -31, and -32. I reiterated my lack^f faith in the courts and also said psychiatry therapy was "criminal, and only a demented mind could call it therapy. " Dated July 4, 1962, it read: "Notice of appeal, together with forma pauperis petition and certification service, have been sent to the U . S . District Court at Kansas City. "As I stated in previous letters, I have lost faith in the courts, but the actions still pending will be carried on to the U . S . Supreme Court. "I am also preparing another affidavit on the sadistic punishment by D r . Holman on Prison Ward 2-2 East, describing the sexual obscenities, lewd actions and practices by the convictedprisoners Iwitnessed. WardenR.O. Settle and D r . Holman contend they are punishment therapy. It is criminal and only a demented mind could call it 'therapy. '" Another documented letter to the Supreme Court Clerk, John F . Davis, sought information and then disclosed I had been put in a.drain-hole because of the decisions: "A letter from you, per E . T , Lyddance, enclosing a copy of one Supreme Court decision. I was put in a prison 'torture hole, ' described in documents to the U . S . Court of A p peals at San Francisco detailing ci-uel and unusual punishment. "Attached is a carbon copy put in for mailing to the Supreme Court as an amendment to my appeal on the denial of a petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus by the Federal Court in Kansas City, Mo. "I have had no letter from your office acknowledging r e ceipt of the appeal or of an attached document. "Will I be given the transcripts of the proceedings in the Amarillo, Texas, and Los Angeles Federal District Courts that were denied to me, and will an order be issued for surrender of my evidence, personal papers and files that were confiscated by the Justice Department? The silence and failure of both courts to act alerted me. Within a few days, Keith and Nicholas told me I could no longer act aa my own attorney. They told me tbat Chief Psychiatrist Stamm had issued an o r d e r - - ! must accept a Justice Department approved attorney to represent me and my correspondence with courts must cease. The services to be rendered by my approved lawyer to be decided by my .guardian, the U . S . Attorney General (Robert Kennedy! One of the reasons they gave was: the prison psychiatric staff 116
had decided I was too mentally incompetent to write legal documents or to process my case through the courts. So "incompetent" I had successfully carried my case through all the lower courts and into the U.S. Supreme Court--accomplished what few law firms do in a lifetime--won the rarity of Certiorari vacating of judgment. The granting of forma pauperis was supposed to enable me to obtain transcripts of proceedings, five of which are still denied me, as is my right to court-appointed counsel without payment for services. I reminded Keith and Nicholas that I had already won my case in the Supreme Court. The petitions, amendments, and affidavits were sufficiently competent for that--and not many lawyers are qualified to practice before the Supreme Court. Nicholas laughed. He said my appeals case resolved nothing except a very small technical issue that the Supreme Court did not rule on but remanded back to the lower courts for disposition. He added that the Justice Department (Robert Kennedy) had my case under consideration for disposition. Keith commented all I had accomplished was "proof of my insanity!" Nothing more was said. They walked out, the door was slammed and locked. The next morning the pressure techniques were intensified-within two weeks, I was twice knocked unconscious with blows on the back of my head. In that nerve-breaking cell I suffered heart attacks for the first time in my life. The purpose of the pressure was to induce strokes. Keith observed my physical and mental condition, and made daily notes; I was silent to his questions. Caryl Warner of Los Angeles, a friend of Judge Yankwich, was the Justice Department selected "approved" attorney, whom I had twice .rejected along with his ambiguous contracts. He was the only attorney with whom I was allowed to correspond. Whereas I had been denied the right to correspond with attorneys, prior to the entry of Warner, and to have counsel in my appeals through the lower courts including the hearing before the Supreme Court, that policy was suddenly changed after the decisions were handed down in my favor. Soon I would no longer be allowed to represent myself as my own attorney in further proceedings. Again I made a plea to the San Francisco Appellate Court for appointment of counsel under the forma pauperis granted by the Supreme Court and the Sixth Amendment, which had been violated throughout appeals proceedings for relief. I was denied. In March, 1959, I had sought Warner's aid in my divorce case and custody of my daughter and son. At this time, Warner told me he knew the operations of the organized homosexuals, their influence and power in the judiciary and in the government. He said the homosexual attorneys, with the collusion of the courts and the perverted social service workers, would use the children as weapons to tear me down emotionally, then claim I imaginecT my charges and was insane. Warner wanted $20, 000 as an initial "retainer fee" to save my daughter and son from homosexuality. Nor would that be the full fee; it was out of my reach. I could not find an attorney to take a case against the homosexuals in Los Angeles County Court and I continued to represent the children and myself. 117
Now, in mid 1962, Warner became the "approved attorney" chosen by the Justice Department with whom I could correspond. That put it on record; I had been allowed my rights. Before the Supreme Court decisions, Warner demanded $5, OOP as a retainer to study my case. When he learned I had won the case in the Supreme Court, he dropped the retainer fee to $1, OOP to evaluate the case. I refused to accept him or his contract. Meanwhile, Pavlovian torture was intensified to break my resistance to the dictates of the psychiatrists and Justice Department. After two months I realized if I were to get out of the p r i son alive I'd have to accept Warner regardless of the cost. By then I knew the Supreme Court decisions were hoaxes and would never be carried out. Somehow, Warner learned I had more than $1,4PP in accumulated Social Security "disability benefits" that were being withheld from me. But, when I was awarded forma pauperis, a check for $1,416, dated July 11, 1962, was quickly sent. The Supreme Court decisions were handed down June 18, 1962. Prisoners with Social Security credits apply for "disability" benefits when they are put on "status" so-called insa.nity. But in my case, the prison officials used dilatory tactics to block my application. This kept me impoverished; but the conditions under which I could make out the application were dictated. Only persons who have experienced and know what it is like te be up against the Justice Department and the "stacked decks" of Federal agencies and courts can understand the rigging of proceedings and how it is done. Keith and Nicholas repeatedly threatened me with Yankwich's orders to transfer me to St. Elizabeth's in Washington or a state insane asylum unless I was "cooperative. " Meanwhile, Warner had been meeting with the Los Angeles U.S. Attorneys, having frequent lunches with Judge Yankwich and correspondence with the penitentiary officials. It wasn't until after I had obtained my freedom that I was able to obtain the second Supreme Court decision. It was more specific and a direct mandate that Certiorari, vacating judgment and forma pauperis had been granted; it read: "No. 841 - Misc. On Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit: On consideration of the motion to leave to proceed herein in forma pauperis and of the petition for Writ of Certiorari, it is ordered by this court that the motion to proceed in forma pauperis be, and the same is hereby granted; the petition for Writ of Certiorari be, and the same is hereby granted. " Tntricate manipulations by the Justice Department continued to smother my case in the maze of corruption. The Springfield Penitentiary, through the Federal Bureau of Prisons, notified courts in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Kansas City and St. Louis that I had "hidden assets" and was not entitled to forma pauperis. It was intended to further demoralize me, give an excuse to the Federal Courts to invalidate the Supreme Court forma pauperis award, and force me to sign a contract with Warner. Anyone in as desperate a position as I was, and knows his life is in 118
the balance of the nnove he makes, has little choice if he wants to gamble for his freedom. On July 30th Justice Richard H. Chambers of the San F r a n cisco U . S . Court of Appeals revoked the forma pauperis: "Petitioner Seelig asks to proceed without prepayment of fees or costs. His application is too conclusionary in its statement of poverty and may be questionable for the reason that petitioner apparently has a considerable sum of money under the control of the Bureau of Prisons. Petitioner may reapply stating what his assets are, if any. " It was an unprecedented action to revoke a Supreme Court decision and I feared I would not be taken beforethe San Francisco court or given hearings. The case was being geared to Judge Yankwich in Los Angeles. His court never had jurisdiction for any proceedings of my case. Previous Supreme Court precedents had established defendants with assets of $20, 000 or more were entitled to forma pauperis on the grounds they could be impoverished by the Government with assets of billions of dollars. The letter Warner sent to Warden Settle calling for a thousand dollar fee said: July 20, 1962 "Earlier this year, we proposed a fee charge of $5, 000, that contemplated seeing M r . Seelig in Springfield, and also reviewing the matters in Texas, at Amarillo. However, in view of the nature of the case at the present time . . . I have consented to look into the matter here in Los Angeles to review the commitment for a retainer of $1, 000. " Significant in Warner's letter was: " . . . However, in view of the nature of the case at the present time" he had "consented" to "review" for a retainer of $1, 000. Warden Settle had me brought to his office. Associate Warden Mayden and D r . Nicholas were also there. I had wanted to send $1, 200 to my son, Philip, but they disputed my right to designate where and to whom my funds should go. I was, they contended, a ward of Attorney General, Robert Kennedy, and had no property rights. They refused to send the money so my son could obtain an attorney for me; I refused to sign the Warner contract. This dispute was part of the Justice Department stall for time to invalidate the Supreme Court decisions. July 25, 1962, Warden Settle sent a reply to Warner: "Seelig, as you know, is committed here as an incompetent by the United States District Court for the Southern C a l ifornia district, and we have some responsibility for the prudent management of his funds. We cannot simply send you a thousand dollars as a retainer to represent him, either on your request, that of his son, or his own request. "Certain rules and regulations have been laid down by the Bureau of Prisons regarding attorney representation, not the least of which is the necessity of a contract which specifies the services to be rendered, and payment after a certified invoice that the services have been received. In this case, however, Seelig, as a result of his florid delusional thinking, has so confused the issues by his almost daily communica-
119
tions to v a r i o u s courts that we. a r e not clear at this moment as to what position we should take acting i n his best interest. "Recently, it appears that Seelig had an i s s u e decided by the Supreme C o u r t which r e m a n d e d to the Tenth (sic) C i r c u i t C o u r t of Appeals in L o s Angeles his petition for court a p pointed representation. He was i n f o r m e d by the C l e r k of the C o u r t that the C o u r t of Appeals would take this under advisement, and, since he now has Some funds, we a r e at a lods as to whether or not it would be appropriate for us to approve your contract for representation or not.

" That was his flori^d delusional thinking. M y case was in the 9th C i r c u i t C o u r t of San F r a n c i s c o . He belittled the f i r s t C e r t i o r a r i won by a p r i s o n e r i n his penitentiary. Settle had degraded the t r i b u n a l ' s decisions as "an i s s u e d e c i d e d . " F o r the same lapses of m e m o r y both Settle and Yankwich frequently exhibited, p r i s o n e r s a r e condemned as " i n s a n e " or " m e n t a l l y incompetent. " T h e J u s t i c e Department rates W a r d e n Settle ana the p s y c h i a t r i s t s with warped, sadistic minds as " e x p e r t s " for their a t r o c i ties "in'the name of s c i e n c e . " Settle l i e d when he wrote the San F r a n c i s c o C o u r t was c o n s i dering m y plea for a court-appointed attorney. He a l r e a d y knew the appellate court had r e v o k e d the Supreme C o u r t mandate on f o r m a pauperis and denied m y plea for an attorney.

gaily insane (sic)he should eventually be committed to a state hospitaL Presumably this would be in Maryland, although there may be some difficulty in establishing his legal entitlement to state treatment. This would require the preliminary dismissal of charges in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California and is usually done after evaluation of the case by the officials of the Department of Justice. This is currently in progress. Seelig himself is opposed to this procedure since he demands vindication of delusional system in the Court. He wants to be adjudicated competent, to be returned for trial, and to have opportunity to prove the case against his delusional persecutors. "For the time being I shall defer action on your request pending further correspondence with you, perhaps some expression of opinion by the Court, and referral of the matter to M r . Eugene Barkin, Legal Counsel, Bureau of Prisons, Washington, D . C . "I want to assure you that our primary interest is in the welfare of the patient (sic. ) and that we are interested in his having proper legal representation, as soon as it becomes clear what the best course is. " Robert Kennedy, and his goons of savagery, in sacrilegious Kremlin mayhem, were desperate to close the case against their criminality. The prison psychiatric staff immediately issued another insanity report, claiming I was incurably insane and could not understand any proceedings nor assist counsel in my defense. Unless I "cooperated" in my own destruction, I'd be sped to an insane asylum was the threat. It was accented with unmerciful pressure by Drs. Keith and Nicholas in the nerve-shattering 10-D cell. Numerous times my son phoned the penitentiary requesting to speak to me. D r . Stamm refused, saying I was "too violently insane to speak to anyone. " Philip told him he was a "liar. " Warden Settle ordered guards to bring me to his office. Unless I stopped my son from making "charges, " Settle told me, he would be brought to the prison for "therapy. " Stamm reported my son had called him a "sadistic bastard" and in Stamm's opinion, that made him a "dangerous sociopath! " I told Warden Settle "sadistic bastard" described Stamm perfectly. I refused to cooperate. A guard accompanied me to 10-D and a blow to the head felled me unconscious. That was "therapy. " The next morning I wrote Warner I would sign a contract for a thousand dollar retainer fee, provided he agreed to the conditions I drafted: that I be brought back immediately to Los Angeles for trial and hearings on the i l legality of my imprisonment. I knew I'd not have a functioning nerve or sanity left if I didn't get out of prison. Within a few days a reply from Warner and a letter from my son in which he said Warner had assured him if I cooperated I would be brought back for a trial. Warner's letter reiterated the assurance. Enclosed was a contract, upping the fee to $1, 200, with a change differing from what I had stipulated: "Retainer case in U, S. District Court of Los Angeles and Ninth Circuit Court at San Francisco for hearing on the le121
^ality of imprisonment, with cross-examination. Fee: $1.200.00 An hour later, Psychiatrist Keith and Psychologist Nicholas came to my cell and asked if I was going to accept Warner--the "approved attorney." They had a fund-withdrawal form. Even though I knew Warner was just another Justice Department "plant" I signed the authorization for $1, 200 payment to Warner and the contract which was dated July 27, 1962. After I gave Keith and Nicholas the signed documents I was given another document. My signature was needed for withdrawal of all pending appeals and actions which had not yet reached the Supreme Court. It did not include the decisions already handed down. They gave me another letter from Warner. It stated if I signed the withdrawals I'd be 1-eaving the prison in a few days. There were nine other actions pending against the Justice Department in the Missouri and California Federal Courts. Three others were ready for processing to the Supreme Court. I penciled a note to Warner to obtain an order for my immediate transportation to the Los Angeles County Jail. I was in urgent need of a doctor and I asked him to arrange bail for my release. The note was worded to convey the impression I had insisted on him to represent me. Instead of being brought back to Los Angeles, I received another letter from Warner stating there would be a "two week delay! " Later I received a copy of a letter written to Warden Settle. It was dated September 19th and said: "We have become attorney of record for Seelig and have taken it upon ourselves to dismiss and withdraw all pending motions, appeals and petitions. Judge Yankwich will re-examine the defendant (Seelig) as to his present competency to stand trial on the 1st day of October. "In view of his success in securing a Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court (a feat few law firms achieve in a lifetime) . . . he is fully competent to stand trial on two simple misdemeanor counts." Warner had not hastened my release from the penitentiary, he had delayed it! Further, he ignored my letters pleading for my removal from the 10-D Pavlovian torture cell. Twice more I was knocked unconscious. The blows were always on the back of my head. The pressure on my nerves had been intensified following my signing of the Warner contract. Another letter from Warner said my court appearance had been changed from October 1 to October 22, 1962! It was just another stall for more "elapsed time. " My health was already shattered. I couldn't survive a fifth month with the continuous concentrated torture, head blows and "therapy. " About September 24, my mind had become so weakened, nerves raw, and biological functions slowed, that I lay inert on the cell cot most of the time. Keith had me removed to a 10-B cell block drain-hole where sores and infections pained my feet and legs. On October 12, 1962, or thereabouts --dates had become meaningless to me--two prison guards came to my cell, took me to a clothing-room and gave me misfit, cheap, prison-made civilian garb to put on. The shoes were too large but I was ordered to 122
wear them regardless. T h e g u a r d s l e d m e t h r o u g h the t u n n e l to the p r i s o n c h e c k - o u t o f f i c e .

tentiary. M y final appearance before Judge Yankwich was as corrupt and rigged as the seven previous F e d e r a l court proceedings. In A t t o r n e y W a r n e r ' s office, I berated h i m for not c l e a r i n g me of a mentality r e c o r d and not abiding by the contract. W a r n e r threatened he would i n c a r c e r a t e me i n a C a l i f o r n i a m e n t a l health p r i s o n on my " i n s a n i t y r e c o r d " unless I was mute. He i n s i s t e d I w r i t e h i m a letter "thanking h i m for his s e r v i c e s and for gaining my freedom. " I was i n no position to make a continued fight, I wrote h i m the letter to safeguard m y s e l f f r o m disappearing i n another p r i s o n . The indictment d i s m i s s a l was signed on N o v e m b e r 20, 1962, by F e d e r a l Judge H a r r y C . Westover, based on F e d e r a l C o u r t Rule 48 --the same one on which I sought hearing on petitions for habeas corpus i n the Kansas C i t y and St. L o u i s F e d e r a l courts for violations of the F i f t h , E i g h t h , Ninth, and Fourteenth A m e n d ments of the Constitution. R u l e 48 states, i n pertinent part: " . . . i f there i s unnecessary delay i n bringing a defendant to t r i a l , the court may d i s m i s s the indictment. " Some months l a t e r I obtained a copy of a letter sent to W a r n e r by the San F r a n c i s c o C o u r t of A p p e a l s , dated September 27, 1962; " F o r your information, the Court, acting upon the D i s m i s s a l and W i t h d r a w a l presented by you, has endorsed an o r d e r thereon d i s m i s s i n g a l l appeals, motions, and petitions pending i n this court and a c e r t i f i e d copy is enclosed. "No appeal was docketed i n this court, so I can assume that the d i s m i s s a l by the D i s t r i c t C o u r t of a l l proceedings i n those courts would dispose of any undocketedappeals that may have been pending there. " The San F r a n c i s c o U . S. C o u r t of Appeals had never docketed the case r e t u r n e d by the U . S . Supreme C o u r t for reopening! How W a r n e r accomodated the J u s t i c e Department, Judge Yankw i c h , and the San F r a n c i s c o F e d e r a l C o u r t i s d i s c l o s e d i n his letter to the San F r a n c i s c o U .

We have r e v i e w e d the entire case, including the a c t i o n of the United States Supreme C o u r t .

" W a r n e r had exonerated Judge Y a n k w i c h of multiple c o r r u p t i o n charges. G o r e , on his p e r j u r y i n testimony during M a r c h , 1961, p r e v i o u s l y exonerated a l l L o s Angeles County officials and judges on charges of p e r v e r s i o n c o r r u p t i o n .

T h e elapsed time of four months f r o m the date of the decisions by the Supreme C o u r t on June 18 to October 22, 1962, gave time for the Justice Department, the F e d e r a l courts and W a r n e r to c o v e r up the c o r r u p t i o n by smothering the case into o b l i v i o n . Six months l a t e r I l e a r n e d that W a r n e r had frequent lunches with Judge Yankwich during which he d i s c u s s e d m y case. The J u s t i c e Department's tyranny p o l i c y was d i s c l o s e d in Wai> den Settle's letter: Not allowing a p r i s o n e r to retain an attorney without the J u s t i c e Department's p r i o r knowledge of the s e r v i c e s and a p p r o v a l of the attorney selected. Until the day I left the M e d i c a l C e n t e r penitentiary in m i d - O c tober, 1962, the schoolboy p s y c h i a t r i s t s were s t i l l reporting I w a s too dangerous and insane to be freed. T h e y c l a i m e d I could not understand the l i b e l charges against me or a s s i s t in m y defense. V e r y few of them knew the definition of l i b e l and none knew what C e r t i o r a r i meant: T h e y follow and p r a c t i c e the C o m m u n i s t doctrines for implanting the stigma of "insanity" on an a c c u s e r . T o r t u r e and brutality, d e s c r i b e d in the K r e m l i n Manual for A m e r i c a n s , failed to change m y thinking; but the destructiveness of the a l l e g e d therapy they c l a i m is "treatment, " shattered m y health. K a n s a s C i t y U . S . A t t o r n e y M i l l i n wrote a m e m o r a n d u m to Judge G i b s o n to deny a petition for Habeas C o r p u s (No. 13737). He made his issue for denial on c l a i m that the l i b e l charge against me was a "felony. " Judge G i b s o n a g r e e d with h i m . T h e y l i e d ! A n o t h e r f a b r i c a t o r in the J u s t i c e Department was A s s i s t a n t U . S . A t t o r n e y G e n e r a l B u r k e M a r s h a l l . On September 14, 1964, his letter r e i t e r a t e d distortions and falsities on a M e m o r a n d u m by U . S. S o l i c i t o r G e n e r a l A r c h i b a l d Cox to the U . S.

He r e f e r s to a Justice D e p a r t m e n t m e m o r a n d u m but doesn't mention that m y reply exposed the fraud of the m e m o r a n d u m . T h e full text of M a r shall's letter follows: " T h i s is i n r e p l y to your request for i n f o r m a t i o n concerning c e r t a i n allegations made by M r . F r e d e r i c k Seelig. I b e lieve that the most complete p i c t u r e of the c i r c u m s t a n c e s surrounding Seelig's i n c a r c e r a t i o n can be obtained by reading a copy of the m e m o r a n d u m of the United States which was filed in the Supreme C o u r t on A p r i l 2, 1962, a copy of which is enclosed. "As you w i l l note, in the aforementioned m e m o r a n d u m the United States suggested that Seelig's case be remanded to the C o u r t of A p p e a l s for the Ninth C i r c u i t for that court to decide whether, in cases such as Seelig's, it was the court's duty to 126
appoint counsel on appeal. The Supreme Court adopted this suggestion and remanded the case on June 18, 1962. "Thereafter, on September 1, 1962, Seelig caused to be dismissed and withdrawn all appeals which were then pending in the Court of Appeals, giving as his reason that it was "the intention and purpose of defendant to proceed on motions being filed, set down for hearing before Honorable Leon R. Yankwich on October 1, 1962." Seelig's- appeals were dismissed by the Court of Appeals on September 24, 1962. "On September 20, 1962, Seelig moved in the District Court for the Southern District of California for a reexamination of the issue of his mental competency and for other relief. On October 24, 1962, following a psychiatric examination and a hearing at which Seelig was represented by counsel. Judge Leon R. Yankwich filed his "Finding of Fact and Order" to the effect that Seelig was then " . . . presently sane, mentally competent and able to under stand the proceedings against him and to properly assist in his own defense." Seelig was released on $100. 00 bail and he was ordered to return to the court on December 17, 1962. "On November 20, 1962, the Government dismissed the original three-count indictment against Seelig. This action was taken because it was the opinion of the psychiatrists who examined Seelig that he would not again engage in conduct of the type for which he was indicted and because Seelig had been in custody for over a year and a half on a misdemeanor charge. "I believe that the above is dispositive of the matters contained in the material you forwarded to us. " Marshall claims the Cox memorandum gives the "most complete picture of the circumstances surrounding Seelig's incarceration. " But it is a remarkable exhibit of the Government's psychopolitical semantics to cover up its criminality. Neither the memorandum nor Marshall's letter mentions the paramount issues involved in my arrest for alleged l i b e l - - t h e homosexual-Commvinist government perversion corruption that is denied hearings and due process of law. Nor does the Justice Department disclose that Communist psychiatric prosecution was substituted by rigged proceedings, or that no trial was intended. Marshall's letter conceals the Supreme Court decisions were never docketed or carried out by the San Franciscd'U. S. Court of Appeals. Nor does he tell how these decisions Were invalidated four months later in the Los Angeles U.S. District of Judge Yankwich. Marshall does not mention there are fraud, corruption and rigged proceedings charges pending that are not permitted investigation or prosecution. Marshall's letter further fabricates, "Seelig caused to be dismissed and withdrawn all appeals which were then pending . . . it was the intention and purpose of the defendant to proceed on motions . . . before Judge Yankwich. " It would be too much to expect the trained government administrator to admit the simple truth--the U. S. Solicitor General had rigged the decisions of the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court, thereby making it a political puppet to serve the aberrent 127
interesta of the Justice Department, the Kennedys and L B J . A l l of Marshall's letter deceptively distorts the facts and the realities of what occurred. At no time did I cease seeking hearings and investigations. His letter conceals that I was forced to accept an "approved" attorney who first had to tell the Justice Department how he would conduct my case (i.e. cover up the government injustices) Marshall's duplicity continues, "it was the opinion of the p s y chiatrists who examined Seelig that he would not again engage in conduct of the type for which he was indicted." Marshall does not identify the psychiatrists or reveal that they were being trained in Communist psychiatric techniques. At no time, during my imprisonment and up to the day I was "freed, " did the Federal psychiatrists believe I would cease my charges of government perversion corruption. The $100. 00 bail that Marshall mentions after being "in custody for a misdemeanor charge" was the first I was allowed! Not only was I held without bail but in tight security. If you recall, General Walker's bail was set at $100,000 on charges and he, too, was never allowed a trial. The charges against him were dismissed as fraudulent after he was imprisoned on corrupt proceedings. What makes Marshall's letter more inane is that it was written after my barrage of renewed and compounded charges against Justice Department officials, politically-stacked Federal courts and "managed" grand juries. This was sumniarized in a letter sent to U. S. Solicitor General Cox with a copy to Marshall's civil rights department. Neither Cox nor Marshall replied. Pertinent parts of the letter, dated December 17, 1962, follow: Mr. Archibald Cox U.S. Solicitor General,

A l l Were t r e a t e d w i t h s i l e n c e , s i g n i f i c a n t l y two petitions on the falsifying of the t r a n s c r i p t s of t e s timony and on the fraud of " D r . " G o r e . The c l o s i n g p a r a g r a p h s of the F e b r u a r y 25, 1964 petition could h a r d l y be m o r e s p e c i f i c : " P e t i t i o n e r charges that the U . S, A t t o r n e y ' s office f o l lowed the acknowledged ' p e r v e r t l i n e ' that ' a c c u s e r s of p e r v e r t s are insane' and ' v i c t i m s of d e l u s i o n a l thinking. ' He charges that Thomas L . G o r e was injected into the case for the specific purpose of getting r i d of the p r i s o n e r , the a c c u s e r of p e r v e r t s , and i t w a s done by fraud and c o r r u p t p r a c tices. " P e t i t i o n e r appeals to the F e d e r a l G r a n d J u r y for hearings and i n v e s t i g a t i o n on the due p r o c e s s of law c l a u s e , on r e d r e s s of g r i e v a n c e s , and on p r o v i s i o n s of statutes w h i c h empower the F e d e r a l G r a n d J u r y to a s c e r t a i n whether or not there were violations of my constitutional rights by F e d e r a l officials and judges, independent of U . S . A t t o r n e y ' s office. P e t i t i o n e r requests he be subpoenaed and witnesses h e a r d . " That petition, l i k e a l l others I submitted, contained sufficient i n f o r m a t i o n on the c r i m i n a l i t y of what I e x p e r i e n c e d and w i t n e s s e d and the contents w a r r a n t i n v e s t i g a t i o n and h e a r i n g s . But, when "the highest offices" i n this country and its g r a n d j u r i e s d i s c a r d t r a d i t i o n a l A m e r i c a n p r i n c i p l e s of i n t e g r i t y and m o r a l c o d e s - expected in an honorable p e r f o r m a n c e of their f u n c t i o n s - - t h e n J u s t i c e is p e r v e r t e d . T h e r e i s no other a l t e r n a t i v e or r e c o u r s e for anyone to seek a r e d r e s s of g r i e v a n c e s against an a b e r r a n t government p o l i t i c a l c a b a l , saturated w i t h deceit and hidden tyranny, that c o n t r o l s and influences even the grand j u r i e s that were l e g i s l a t e d as "watch dogs." What good i s evidence and documented proof on p e r v e r s i o n and c o r r u p t i o n i n government, and i n the j u d i c i a r y , when it is b u r i e d under smothering s i l e n c e . W i t h i n s i x weeks after the confiscation, the Mattachine (homosexual) Society disbanded as a national o r g a n i z a t i o n , and the e d i tor of the w o r l d ' s l a r g e s t newspaper i n London, E n g l a n d was r e m o v e d f r o m his p o s i t i o n . H i s correspondence and m a t e r i a l were i n those confiscated f i l e s . M o s t of m y witnesses i n C a l i f o r n i a , whose names and a d d r e s s e s were i n the f i l e s , disappeared. P r i o r to my a r r e s t , I was h a r r a s s e d by the Internal Revenue S e r v i c e and the P o s t Office Department. T w i c e I was subjected 130
to inquisitions by FBI agents. A l l of it was related to the homosexuality in the divorce case and my efforts to obtain hearings on the government perversion. On June 11, 1964, I sent, by registered nnail, a Citizen's Complaint and Petition for hearing in the Congress of the UnitedStates on the Justice Department and judiciary corruption. It was based on the First Amendment . . . "the right of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." (See appendix for Petition. ) The original and accompanying letter was dispatched by registered air mail to John F . McCormack, Speaker of the House of Representatives, with copies to President Johnsonand every memr ber of the U. S. Senate and the House. Signed registered return receipts evidence deliveries were made to McCormack and L B J . More than 20, 000 copies were distributed to the public nationwide and millions of radio listeners heard the contents in broadcasts by Richard Cptten, the Conservative Viewpoint radio commentator. The petition was buried with silence. The letter to Speaker McCormack stated: "Copies of the enclosed petition to the Congress for hearing and investigation, based on the F i r s t Amendment, giving the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances, are in the mails to all members of Congress. "The complaint and charges on corrupt practices, compounded, multiple violations of the B i l l of Rights, are made under oath and will be substantiated by documents and the case record. "We have also evidence that Thomas L . Gore has a c r i m inal background and there is a question as to whether he is a bonafide doctor, much less qualified to practice psychiatry. "The complaint and charges are understatements on the corrupt practices employed by the Department of Justice and the Federal courts in my imprisonment for nearly two years without any trial or conviction of an offense. "The Congress in the last resort for a hearing. The case went through the U . S . Supreme Court and the lower courts. All efforts to obtain hearings have been blocked. The F e d eral Grand Jury has refused to give hearing to any phase. I request the petition be introduced in Congress. There was no reply from McCormack. Silence has been the policy of the White House, the cabinet, the government administrative agencies when confronted with irrefutable evidence of corruption, treasonable activities and maladministration. This has prevailed since the early years of the Roosevelt regime. Subterfuges have replaced patriotism, loyalty and hoaasty. Psychopolitics and deceptive semantics became a new way of American administrative government when FDR entrenched homosexuals, Marxists, and anti-Christian minority leaders with alien ideologies under guise of humanitarianism. Shortly after I sent the letter to McCormack along with the Petition to Congress, I was shown a letter that President Johnson, when he was Vice President, had sent to my son, Philip, on May 21, 1962. It was in reply to his request for an investigation of my imprisonment. A photocopy of L B J ' s letter follows: 131

COMMENTARY by REVILO
P.
OLIVER
The appalling s t o r y t o l d by M r Seelig i n the foregoing pages i s much m o r e than a p e r s o n a l tragedy that must excite sympathy and p i t y i n e v e r y human heart, [t i s a s t o r y that is terr i b l e i n the full sense of that w o r d : it should s t r i k e t e r r o r into the heart of e v e r y A m e r i c a n who hopes that his c h i l d r e n w i l l not r e g r e t having been b o r n . A s A m e r i c a ' s most eminent j o u r n a l i s t suggests i n his i n t r o d u c t i o n to the p r e s e n t book, M r . S e e l i g ' s account should be v e r i f i e d i n e v e r y p a r t i c u l a r by diligent and i n t r e p i d i n v e s t i g a t o r s . But such v e r i f i c a t i o n could only c o n f i r m what we a l l know — or w o u l d know, i f we p a i d attention to the evidence that has been a c c u m u l a t i n g for decades. M r . S e e l i g ' s n a r r a t i v e confronts us w i t h two facts that c a n not be denied, and to w h i c h it would be c o w a r d l y and d i s a s t r o u s to close our eyes. Those facts a r e , of c o u r s e , the e v e r - i n c r e a s ing p e r v e r s i o n of law and j u d i c i a l p r o c e s s i n our country and the epidemic sexual p e r v e r s i o n that has brought us to the verge of moral imbecility. The p e r v e r s i o n of law—that i s to say, the use of pseudol e g a l p r o c e s s e s to protect the guilty by d e s t r o y i n g the w i t n e s s e s to t h e i r g u i l t — i s both c o m m o n and n o t o r i o u s . It i s so notorious that one can only wonder at the fatuous apathy of a public that does nothing about it because each i n d i v i d u a l b e l i e v e s that he pers o n a l l y can escape i f he, l i k e a rabbit, runs away and s i l e n t l y hides h i m s e l f i n the weeds. In New Y o r k C i t y not long ago some forty persons watched f r o m t h e i r windows for half an hour w h i l e a lone m a r a u d e r attacked and m u r d e r e d a w o m a n i n the street o u t s i d e - - w a t c h e d and d i d nothing, d i d not even telephone the p o l i c e , because each was " a f r a i d to become i n v o l v e d . " T h e r e have been many incidents l i k e that. The c r a v e n spectators belong to a f o r m of life now p r o l i f i c i n the United States, but it r e q u i r e s no l e a r n i n g to see that o v e r s i z e d r a b b i t s , although able to stand on their hind l e g s , to jabber, and to vote, are a species that i s b i o l o g i c a l l y unfit to s u r v i v e . The most notorious and ominous instance of the p e r v e r s i o n of law o c c u r r e d m o r e than twenty years ago, and it has not yet excited the a l a r m and indignation that such outrages n e c e s s a r i l y arouse i n nations that a r e v i a b l e . The obscene and t r a g i c farce c a l l e d the "Sedition T r i a l " began i n 1942 and ended only i n 1947. It was an act of S o v i e t - s t y l e t e r r o r i s m c a r r i e d out to i n t i m i d a t e A m e r i c a n s . T h i r t y men and women f r o m a l l over the country, most of whom had never even h e a r d of one another and who had in c o m m o n only outspoken c r i t i c i s m of the C o m m u n i s t C o n s p i r acy, were hauled to Washington i n hand-cuffs and l e g - i r o n s , i m p r i s o n e d in c e l l s kept dark so that they could not read, and sub1 39
jected. to the most fantastic t r i a l for " c o n s p i r a c y " ever conducted outside the Soviet U n i o n . The a c t u a l t r i a l , based on pretenses so transparent that they cannot have been intended to deceive any intelligent man, was staged i n 1944 by the infamous E . E . E i c h e r , a protege of F e l i x F r a n k f u r t e r and C h i e f J u s t i c e of the D i s t r i c t C o u r t of the D i s t r i c t of C o l u m b i a , i n open c o l l u s i o n w i t h an i n c r e d i b l e A s s i s t a n t A t t o r n e y , Oetje J . Rogge, another protege of F r a n k f u r t e r and a l o n g - t i m e a d m i r e r of the B o l s h e v i k s , whose part i n the p e r s e c u t i o n earned h i m the d i s t i n c t i o n of being the p e r s o n a l guest of S t a l i n i n the K r e m l i n a few y e a r s l a t e r . The scoff-law judge, E i c h e r , repeatedly and f l a g r a n t l y violated the Constitution of the U n i t e d States, i n n u m e r a b l e l a w s , and the e l e m e n t a r y p r i n c i p l e s of equity and j u s t i c e on w h i c h a l l laws are based. But the v i c i o u s c r e a t u r e that l a w l e s s l y p r e s i d e d over a f e d e r a l court did not succeed i n doing the job for which he had been appointed. He died w h i l e a r t i c l e s of impeachment for m a l feasance i n office w e r e i n p r e p a r a t i o n and before he could be brought to t r i a l i n the Senate. H i s sudden death, r e p o r t e d l y f r o m n a t u r a l causes, a v e r t e d an i n v e s t i g a t i o n and exposure that our enemies i n Washington w e r e desperately eager to prevent. The a b s u r d c a s e — l u d i c r o u s but for the suffering and i r r e p a r a b l e l o s s i n f l i c t e d on the hapless defendants and even t h e i r attorneys—^fin a l l y came before an honest judge i n 1946 and was d i s m i s s e d as a " t r a v e s t y on j u s t i c e . " But the c r i m i n a l elements i n what i s c a l l e d our " J u s t i c e Department, " i n an effort to d i s t r e s s t h e i r intended v i c t i m s as m u c h as p o s s i b l e , p e r s i s t e d u n t i l the case was f i n a l l y t e r m i n a t e d by o r d e r of the C o u r t of A p p e a l s on the last day of J u l y , 1947."' A m o r e recent incident, w h i c h to a c o n s i d e r a b l e extent para l l e l s M r . S e e l i g ' s experience, was the kidnapping of G e n e r a l E d w i n A . W a l k e r i n Oxford, M i s s i s s i p p i , on October 1, 1962. That c r i m e , although evidently planned with c a r e by the gangs t e r s , was not a complete s u c c e s s , and the m a i n outlines of the story, at least, are now known to everyone.

M a r s h a l s , went into action under the s u p e r v i s i o n of one N i c h o l a s Katzenbach, who was on the spot as p e r s o n a l representative of R o b e r t ("Bobby Sox") Kennedy, then A t t o r n e y G e n e r a l of the UnitedStates. G e n e r a l W a l k e r ' s automob i l e was i l l e g a l l y stopped on a public highway, and, without w a r rant or charge of any k i n d , he was taken before a U . S. C o m m i s sioner, who, after p r a c t i c i n g shameless deceit on the G e n e r a l , a s s u r i n g h i m that he would be r e l e a s e d on bond, fixed the bond at the fantastic sum of one hundred thousand d o l l a r s . T h i s was e v i dently a m i s c a l c u l a t i o n , for a bond of twice that amount became a v a i l a b l e as soon as the G e n e r a l ' s friends and r e l a t i v e s were notified, and, to a v o i d acceptance of that bond, it was n e c e s s a r y for the r e s p o n s i b l e official of " o u r " government to go into hiding and to use other dodges until the second stage of the kidnapping was c a r r i e d out. That was c a r r i e d out with e x e m p l a r y efficiency i n l e s s than three hours. In Washington, a p e r s o n of R u s s i a n o r i g i n s named K a n t o r , who c a l l s h i m s e l f C h a r l e s E . S m i t h and holds office as C h i e f P s y c h i a t r i s t of the F e d e r a l B u r e a u of P r i s o n s and was therefore another of Bobby Kennedy's subordinates, dutifully decided that G e n e r a l W a l k e r was probably insane. T h i s man of science later testified that he was able to make this diagnosis at a distance of a thousand m i l e s i n a few minutes by s i m p l y r e a d ing the lies d i s s e m i n a t e d by the A s s o c i a t e d P r e s s . He may, however, have applied the definition devised by D r . B r o c k C h i s h o l m , the protege of A l g e r H i s s and head of the s o - c a l l e d W o r l d Health O r g a n i z a t i o n that was founded under H i s s ' s patronage to lead the agitation for "mental health. " D r . C h i s h o l m o f f i c i a l l y holds that "mental health" depends on " e r a d i c a t i o n of the concept of r i g h t and wrong, " whence it follows, of course, that anyone who thinks there is a difference between good and e v i l is obviously insane. A r m e d with this opinion f r o m " D r . S m i t h , " one James V . Bennett, holding office as U . S . D i r e c t o r of P r i s o n s , telegraphed o r d e r s to the M a r s h a l s in Oxford, who hustled G e n e r a l W a l k e r aboard a plane w h i c h at once took off for an unknown destination. It was probably hoped that the destination could be kept secret until the G e n e r a l had been disposed of. It became known, however, that the kidnappers had transported their v i c t i m a c r o s s three state lines'^'to the concentration camp in Springfield, M i s s o u r i , that i s o f f i c i a l l y known as a F e d e r a l M e d i c a l P r i s o n .

thugs, including a creature who held a commission as Captain in the U . S . Army. M r . Bartholomew was overpowered by his assailants, strapped to a bed, and reduced to unconsciousness with hypodermic injections. Bound and kept under drugs, he was flown to the United States for incarceration as a "mental patient" in a hospital in which he could have promptly died of a "heart attack." The plan miscarried, however, because M r s . Bartholomew refused to be tricked or intimidated, and, when an honorable employee in the office of Radio Free Europe disclosed what had been done to her husband, was able to obtain the support of persons of some influence in the United States. The victim was therefore released. Two years later, in November and December, 1958, the shocking story was made public in a series of r a dio broadcasts by Fulton Lewis, J r . A somewhat similar crime was committed by the Department of Agriculture when an honest attorney first came on evidence of the thefts being committed by little BillieSolEstes. The attorney, N . Battle Hales, was lured to the office of the Secretary of Agriculture, where he was detained by an administrative assistant while a goon squad was sent to destroy his files. His secretary, Mary Kimbrough Jones, a well-bred lady of fifty-one, tried to protect M r . Hales' files and would have been a witness to their confiscation. The Federal gangsters accordingly kidnapped her and hustled her to a "mental health" prison for disposal. A n influential and courageous Congressman learned of the crime and intervened in time. The lady was not killed, but her health was for a time broken by the brutality to which she was subjected before her release could be procured.'*^ Many victims of such crimes have had no one to help them. Governmental outrages have become commonplace, and the general public, apparently lost in a stupor, seems not to care. When it was disclosed in the Congressional Record (May 4, 1964) that the Attorney General of the United States had tampered with a Grand Jury by sending cases of whiskey and prostitutes (including female Marshals) to the jurors' rooms, everyone seemed to think that that was just normal. The recent disclosure that blackmailers employed by the Federal government are supplied at our expense with trucks that nmatch those used by local telephone companies so that they can withgreater ease violate Federal andState laws and tap the telephones of decent Americans whom the ruling Maffia wishes to harrass (see Counterattack, January 28, 1966) — that disclosure, I predict, will stir scarcely a ripple of interest. If people remain indifferent while their scoff-law rulers weave a net of tyranny about them and their posterity, they cannot pretend to be morally superior to the African savages who sold their own children into slavery for a scrap of copper wire or a bit of red cloth. No one thus far has dared openly to advocate criminal perversion of the law and ostensibly legal authority, and even the most zealous Socialists, if they cannot deny the facts, take refuge (6)For a f u l l e r a c c o u n t , see C l a r k M o U e n h o f f , D e s p o i l e r s of D e m o c r a c y (New Y o r k , D o u b l e d a y , 1965), a book w h i c h d e a l s w i t h the c o m p a r a t i v e l y few a c t i v i t i e s of our m a s t e r - t h u g s that, t h r o u g h v a r i o u s a c c i d e n t s , have c o m e to light.

degrading a s s o c i a t i o n s , and i n s i d i o u s s o l i c i t a t i o n . E v e n i f we grant that the faculty i s h e r e d i t a r y , we must number m o r a l integr i t y , like the a b i l i t y to see or life itself, among the things that man can e a s i l y destroy, but can never create. C h r i s t i a n i t y , aside f r o m a few b i z a r r e but strangely r e c u r rent h e r e s i e s , has always used Sodom a n d G o m o r r a h as examples of ^hat i s j u s t l y abominated by both G o d and man. But it i s the tragedy of our time that C h r i s t i a n i t y no longer p r o v i d e s the s o c i a l cohesion that made our modern w o r l d p o s s i b l e . F o r a c o n s i d e r able part of our population, including a v e r y influential part of it, the faith of our fathers has become a p r i m i t i v e myth, e x p l i c i t l y or t a c i t l y rejected by those who would think i n s c i e n t i f i c or pract i c a l t e r m s . M o r e important than the number of agnostics and atheists, however, i s the fact that the C h r i s t i a n churches have been invaded, and many have been captured, by s o - c a l l e d " m o d e r n i s t s , " who i n their pulpits c y n i c a l l y exploit what they p r i v a t e l y r e g a r d as superstition, and, by peddling the sentimental hokum c a l l e d "the s o c i a l gospel, " p e r v e r t and destroy the v e r y foundations of the C h r i s t i a n i t y i n whose name they profess to speak. •They are the worthy s u c c e s s o r s of the p r i e s t s of C y b e l e that A p u l e i u s d e s c r i b e d i n the eighth book of his M e t a m o r p h o s e s , and it i s not r e m a r k a b l e thaf they, instead of expounding the C h r i s tian doctrine concerning homosexuality, use t h e i r pulpits to defend or even commend a v i c e of w h i c h some, at least, have a m o r e than t h e o r e t i c a l knowledge. Sexual d e s i r e , although not so strong a force as hunger, greed, or vanity, is undoubtedly a b i o l o g i c a l force in every human being, and this fact has made it throughout h i s t o r y a favorite means of manipulating and exploiting men and women. It has been used for that purpose by witch-doctors and shamans of e v e r y age, including our own. When Sigmund F r e u d c r a w l e d f r o m the sewers of Vienna w i t h the d i s c o v e r y that persons not so degenerate as he were " s i c k " and needed to be c u r e d by sexual m a g i c , he founded an e x t r e m e l y profitable racket. In an age of waning r e l i g i o n , the notion that sex is v i r t u a l l y the whole of human life and the only source of happiness fascinated the credulous; and, to an extent s e l d o m equalled i n the m o s t o r g i a s t i c cults of barb a r i s m , the indulgence of sexual appetite has become the religion of our c o n t e m p o r a r i e s . The cult has, of c o u r s e , been propagated e n t h u s i a s t i c a l l y by the d i s c i p l e s of John Dewey, who have made the public schools an instrument for promoting "democracy" by injecting into the tender minds of c h i l d r e n the b e l i e f that life Ls m e r e l y a s e r i e s of a n i m a l satisfactions. As a r e s u l t , our nation is now suffering f r o m an e r o t i c monomania that ominously resem-, bles the sexual frenzy that swept over France i m m e d i a t e l y before the insane blood-bath that i s e u p h e m i s t i c a l l y c a l l e d the French Revolution. In this context, homosexuality seems to be but one aspect of a much l a r g e r p r o b l e m — a n aspect which, since it i s p a r t i c u l a r l y r e p u l s i v e , it is easy to ignore. F i n a l l y , many• A m e r i c a n s s t i l l regard homosexuality as a m o r a l and s o c i a l p r o b l e m that has little r e l a t i o n to p o l i t i c s and to our most immediate and t e r r i b l e danger, the B o l s h e v i k takeover which, despite a l l the protests and a c t i v i t y of belatedly awakened A m e r i c a n s i n recent y e a r s , seems to be p r o g r e s s i n g 145

W a l d e c k ' s concise and excellent a r t i c l e , " H o m o s e x u a l I n t e r n a t i o n a l , " in Human E v e n t s , September 29, I960. It was only then that people began to notice that, in the W e s t e r n w o r l d , the l a i r s of t r e a s o n are i n v a r i a b l y a l s o the nesting-grounds of degenerates.

S e e l i g ' s s t o r y w i l l give you some indication of the power that those furtive and foul c r e a t u r e s have attained over you — and there are a thousand pieces of evidence to c o n f i r m that estimate. T h e cause of the dark p e r v e r s i o n of human instincts .is obscure. Homosexuality is found among many tribes of savages, but that fact has little relevance h e r e . C i v i l i z a t i o n is by d e f i n i tion the p r o c e s s whereby human beings r e p r e s s and prevent the conduct and behavior that is c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of savages. The most c o m m o n explanation of homosexuality in societies that can be c a l l e d c i v i l i z e d is that advanced by the great t r a v e l l e r and ethnological o b s e r v e r . Sir R i c h a r d B u r t o n , in the c o m m e n t a r y appended to his famous t r a n s l a t i o n of the Thousand and One Nights. F o r S i r R i c h a r d , the p r i m e cause is geographic and r a c i a l . He speaks of the Sotadic Zone, that is to say, the N e a r E a s t , which is dominated by the Semitic and H a m i t i c peoples among whom the v i c e i s inveterate and taken for granted, together with the adjacent a r e a s of the M e d i t e r r a n e a n basin that those peoples occupy or have penetrated and influenced. It is true that among those inhabitants of the Sotadic Zone, homosexuality is r e g a r d e d as n o r m a l , and S i r R i c h a r d believed that that was the consequence of c e r t a i n a n a t o m i c a l p e c u l i a r i t i e s that a r e g e n e r a l l y found in males and females of those r a c e s .

the end, suicidal wars, would have been without that factor/" The Romans, to whom we owe more than to the Greeks, felt Western man's natural abhorrence of homosexuality. Although degenerates were doubtless born from time to time, the contempt universally felt for perverts probably sufficed to restrain their tendencies, and when it did not, the stern ethos of the nation made short work of them. As late as 125 B. C . , when the old paternal authority had been greatly restricted, a Roman of the old school, Q. Fabius Maximus Servilianus, who had held the highest offices in the Roman Republic, peremptorily put his own son to death for homosexuality. Such was the unflinching moral code that made the Romans great. It was only after Rome had become a dominant power in the world by decisively defeating the Carthaginians (202B. C ) , the Macedonians (197), and the Seleucid Empire (188), and had suffered a great influx of aliens, including Orientals, that we see the beginning of moral decay. In 186 B . C . , just two years after the Roman legions had shattered the power of the richest and most populous empire of the Hellenistic Age, the Roman Senate, by a still extant decree, tried to suppress the Bacchanalian rites of a cult that, originating in Asia Minor, had reached Rome by way of Etruria, and used the traditional "freedom of worship" as a cover for nocturnal orgies of promiscuity and perversion. Investigation disclosed that the alien "religion" was really a secret conspiracy that worked systematically to seduce and corrupt adolescent boys and girls, and practiced, in addition to sexual profligacy, such associated arts as the forging of wills and murder by poison. And, significantly, a majority of the physiologically male members of the Bacchanalian conspiracy were homosexuals, although the cult (9)We can list a number of coincidences between honaosexuality and treason but we cannot show that one was a cause, or even a factor, in the other. And to be fair, we must record on the other side of the ledger a peculiar and inexplicable phenomenon: it seems certain that in the Greek world there were homosexuals who were men--even men of honor. We are assured (cf. Plutarch, Vit. Pelop., 18) that in the Fourth Century the flower of the Theban army was, for an odd religious reason, composed of homosexuals. With his superior forces and superior strategy, Philip of Macedon finally won at Chaeronea, but when he did, the Sacred Regiment lay dead to a man in their unbroken ranks. That is true greatness. If the story of their customs is true, there must have been in one respect a fundamental difference between their world and our own, in which perversion and treason are almost synonymous. The Honorable John Dowdy of Texas, who is in a position to be very well informed, stated bluntly, "As far as I know, all of the security risks that have deserted the United States and gone over to the Communists have been homosexuals. " (See the hearings on House Resolution 5990, August 8, 1964, p. 17). There have been many such cases in Western nations. A typical instance in the United States is that of two "geniuses, " Bernon F . Mitchell and William H. Martin, who,, trained at the Universities of Washington and Illinois and Stanford, where they were known to be degenerates, ensconsed themselves in positions of strategic importance in "our" National Security Agency (which, for vital reasons, should be our most secret intelligence agency) while the Director of Personnel was a scabrous alien named Maurice Klein, who had falsified his own record through perjury and forgery. Mitchell and Martin high-tailed it for Mother Russia in 1960, and it is rumored that the damage done by their treason has not yet been repaired. For a comparable incident in Britain's Military Intelligence, see Burgess and Maclean by Anthony Purdy and Douglas Sutherland (New York, Doubleday7~r963); the book makes it clear that those "intellectuals" were known perverts and traitors when they were installed in Military Intelligence by degenerates in higher governmental positions who protected them for twelve years, enabled them to escape when exposure was imminent, and remained in power in the highest offices of the government of the Britain that once was Great.

made a v a i l a b l e to t h e m a copious supply of young and libidinous women ready and eager for anything. ( F o r a full account, see. L i v y , X X X I X , 8-19). A l l that sounds quite modern, doesn't i t ? In 186 B . C . , therefore, we have the f i r s t c l e a r instance i n r e c o r d e d h i s t o r y of a clandestine c o n s p i r a c y engaged i n a r e v o l t against c i v i l i z a t i o n by using sex to entice adolescents into a life of depravity and cirime—evidently for the sheer pleasure of dragging human beings down to the m o r a l n i h i l i s m i n w h i c h the c o n s p i r a t o r s find a strange satisfaction. A n d homosexuality was a major part of a phenomenon that was to be repeated over and over again i n the subsequent h i s t o r y of W e s t e r n c i v i l i z a t i o n . In 186 B . C , intelligent Romans had to face a truth that few A m e r i c a n s are w i l l i n g to face today: p e r v e r t s are f o r m i d a b l e , not because they p r a c t i c e a disgusting v i c e among themselves, but because they are d r i v e n by a demonic urge to c o r r u p t and defile a l l mankind, to propagate not only p e r v e r s i o n but e v e r y f o r m of c r i m e . F r o m 186 B . C . to 1966 A . D . the evidence constantly i n dicates that for many degenerates the p h y s i c a l p l e a s u r e that they d e r i v e f r o m t h e i r p e r v e r s i o n i s quite secondary to the p l e a s u r e they derive f r o m ensnaring and degrading c h i l d r e n and a d o l e s cents who would otherwise become decent men and women. A t R o m e , the r e p r e s s i o n of the B a c c h a n a l i a n s checked the infection for a t i m e , but not pernnanently. In 149 B . C . or t h e r e abouts the Romans enacted the L e x Scantina de stupro c u m m a s culo, w h i c h p r o v i d e d a heavy penalty for p e r v e r s i o n . A s e v e r y one knows, such laws cannot prevent; they can only discourage, and their most important force i s e x p r e s s i o n of the standards of the s o c i e t y that enacts them. R o m e , however, was suffering f r o m c r e e p i n g m o r a l p a r a l y s i s that the Senate and conservative m a g i s trates to the v e r y end of the R e p u b l i c sought to combat by such m e a s u r e s as the expulsion of s u b v e r s i v e aliens (which was only t e m p o r a r y , since they, aided by wealth and influence, began to f i l ter back a l m o s t at once ) and m e a s u r e s to l i m i t the spread of Oriental cults. The L e x Scantina r e m a i n e d on the books; there were prosecutions under it as late as the Second Century after C h r i s t and perhaps l a t e r . But the feeling that had i n s p i r e d it was g r a d u a l l y eroded, and although h o m o s e x u a l i t y was never o f f i c i a l l y l e g a l i z e d , as has now been done i n the State of I l l i n o i s and w i l l probably be done i n our entire nation as soon as E a r l W a r r e n gets around to it, the law became v i r t u a l l y a dead letter. Before the end of the R e p u b l i c , R o m a n w r i t e r s who wanted to be thought " i n t e l l e c t u a l " and " s o p h i s t i c a t e d , " i m i t a t i n g the l i t e r a r y fashions of A l e x a n d r i a , which was the N e w Y o r k of the ancient w o r l d , d i d not hesitate to confess —perhaps f a l s e l y i n some cases —that they were paed e r a s t s .

A G r e a t Society always knows its own. I cannot pretend to t r a c e the h i s t o r y of h o m o s e x u a l i t y i n the W e s t e r n w o r l d . B e f o r e the inevitable f a l l of the R o m a n E m p i r e , C h r i s t i a n i t y , w h i c h e x p l i c i t l y identifies h o m o s e x u a l i t y as an offense against G o d , became the e s t a b l i s h e d r e l i g i o n , and when the w o r m - e a t e n f a b r i c of the E m p i r e c o l l a p s e d , its t e r r i t o r y i n Weste r n E u r o p e was occupied by f r e s h and v i g o r o u s peoples, and since many of them w e r e G e r m a n i c they brought w i t h t h e m an i n s t i n c t i v e repugnance t o w a r d p e r v e r s i o n that r e e n f o r c e d the teachings of the C h u r c h . A s a g e n e r a l i z a t i o n , therefore, we may say that i n the W e s t e r n w o r l d , f r o m the f a l l of the R o m a n E m p i r e to the t i m e of the F r e n c h R e v o l u t i o n , h o m o s e x u a l i t y was forbidden and punished by v e r y stringent l a w s , both e c c l e s i a s t i c a l and c i v i l . A n d those laws w e r e enforced, even against persons of high rank. In E n g l a n d , for e x a m p l e , L o r d A u d l e y , E a r l of Castlehaven, was c o n v i c t e d of sodomy and executed i n 1631. A n d as late as 1810, at least, a c o m m i s s i o n e d officer i n the B r i t i s h A r m y and an e n l i s t e d man w e r e executed for the same offense. That m a y have been the l a s t t i m e the death penalty was enforced. In the same y e a r , the persons caught by the p o l i c e i n a r a i d on a h o m o s e x u a l brothel i n L o n d o n w e r e m e r e l y sentenced to the p i l l o r y , but that was not e x a c t l y light punishment since an indignant populace saw to i t that they r e t u r n e d to p r i s o n looking m o r e l i k e heaps of g a r bage than human beings. Of c o u r s e , during the fourteen centuries c o v e r e d by our g e n e r a l i z a t i o n the laws and the s o c i a l standards they r e p r e s e n t e d w e r e frequently v i o l a t e d .

But there w e r e many c o r r u p t i n g influences at w o r k . It w o u l d take pages to l i s t them, but i t should be noted that some of the most i m p o r t a n t w e r e a n t i C h r i s t i a n movements d i s g u i s e d as C h r i s t i a n h e r e s i e s or as o c cult " s c i e n c e . " A s everyone knows, a c o m m o n E n g l i s h t e r m for sodomists i s bugger, w h i c h i s d e r i v e d f r o m the F r e n c h bougre, w h i c h i n t u r n comes f r o m a s l u r r e d p r o n u n c i a t i o n of B u l g a r . The 150
reference is to a sect of h e r e t i c s , n:iore p r o p e r l y c a l l e d B o g o m i l s , who held Manichaean doctrines, a few of which, such as denial of the divine b i r t h of C h r i s t and insistence on s o c i a l and r a c i a l equality, are now held by l e a d e r s of t h e National C o u n c i l of C h u r c h e s . T h e B o g o m i l s , who were notorious buggers, were transported f r o m A s i a M i n o r to B u l g a r i a by the Byzantine E m p i r e , and f r o m their new home they sent s t r e a m s of zealous m i s s i o n a r i e s both eastward into what is now R u s s i a and westward i n to E u r o p e , where, f r o m the Tenth to the Fourteenth C e n t u r i e s , they planted various l o c a l h e r e s i e s , notably the P a t a r e n i i n northe r n Italy and the A l b i g e n s e s in southern F r a n c e . One need not believe that a l l m e m b e r s of the latter sects adopted the sexual p r a c t i c e s of the evangelists, but the B o g o m i l m i s s i o n a r i e s must have exerted a v e r y considerable influence. A g a i n , along the shifting boundaries of E u r o p e and e s p e c i a l l y during the C r u s a d e s Europeans came into contact with the Semitic peoples among whom homosexuality is accepted as n o r m a l , and one result was that the powerful o r d e r of Knights T e m p l a r , who held strongholds and r i c h fiefs throughout E u r o p e until they were suppressed, were not only noted as homosexuals but evidently made sexual p e r v e r s i o n a part of their r i t u a l . ' " " Throughout the Middle A g e s and even in the R e n a i s s a n c e s y s t e m s of magic, including n e c r o m a n c y and most of alchemy, d e r i v e d f r o m the Kabbalah, were peddled throughout E u r o p e , p a r t l y by enthusiasts who were v i c t i m s of their own (often drug-induced) hallucinations, but p r i n c i p a l l y , we m a y be sure, by " i n t e l l e c t u a l s " who had found a convenient means of exploiting the c r e d u l i t y of wealthy s u c k e r s . F r o m such o c c u l t i s m it was an easy and natural p r o g r e s s to witchcraft and Satanism, and, as two examples—the infamous G i l l e s de R a i s , M a r e c h a l de F r a n c e in the Fifteenth Century, and the notorious A l e i s t e r C r o w l e y in the T w e n t i e t h - w i l l suffice to r e m i n d us, the w o r s h i p of e v i l has always included the p r a c t i c e of homosexuality as an emphatic r e pudiation of the prejudices that prevent n o r m a l m e n f r o m joyously wallowing in e v e r y kind of filthy self-debasement and disgusting crime. T h e r e were other influences, l e s s spectacular but equally ins'idious. No one can deny that some p e r v e r t s have a high degree of intellectual ability, including l i t e r a r y talent — one co\ild, for example, compile a v e r y large anthology of w e l l - written poems by homosexuals f r o m Straton of Sardis (Second Century) to Walt Whitman, O s c a r Wilde, and P a u l V e r l a i n e ; and many of our contemporaries attribute high l i t e r a r y m e r i t to the novels of A n d r e G i d e , who is the foremost apologist for homosexuality i n our t i m e , and to the m o r b i d maunderings of M a r c e l P r o u s t , who slightly disguised his activities b y g i v i n g his boy-friends feminine names.

w a s ^ s o heterogeneous, the p e r v e r s i o n seems to have been espec i a l l y c o m m o n . A n t o n i o B e c c a d e l l i , better known as P a n o r m i t a , i n the c o l l e c t i o n of obscene poems entitled H e r m a p h r o d i t u s , d e s c r i b e s paederasty i n t e r m s w h i c h suggest that it was, l i k e a d d i c tion to opium or hashish, a pleasurable habit that could not be broken—but i t is u n c e r t a i n whether he was w r i t i n g a d e s c r i p t i o n or propaganda. M o r e significant are the confessions of P a c i f i c u s M a x i m u s i n his H e c a t e l e g i u m : as a c h i l d he was sent to a g r a m m a r school i n w h i c h the headmaster, a s e c r e t but enthusiastic paederast, i n s i s t e d on freeing a l l his pupils f r o m their inhibitions so that he could have fun with them. In the Fifteenth Century, parents were evidently as negligent or as awed by educational experts as they are today, and I r e g r e t to r e p o r t that the p r o g r e s sive headmaster was not hanged. In fact, he seems to have flouri s h e d . A n d there were many l i k e h i m . Perhaps the most important factor of a l l was one that the new science of genetics has only p a r t l y explained: b i o l o g i c a l degeneration. H e r e i s an example. L o u i s X I V of F r a n c e , although he brought on F r a n c e such e v i l s as highly c e n t r a l i z e d government and m i l i t a r y defeats, was undoubtedly a man. He had, however, a brother, who was a l m o s t c e r t a i n l y l e g i t i m a t e , P h i l i p p e , Due d ' O r l e a n s , who always wore women's underclothing and was only with difficulty r e s t r a i n e d f r o m appearing at court i n s k i r t s . T h i s engaging c r e a t u r e was, as p r o t o c o l r e q u i r e d , m a r r i e d to an Engl i s h p r i n c e s s , but became f u r i o u s l y jealous of his l e g a l wife b e cause he thought her attractive to men whom he wanted to love h i m . So important a personage as the K i n g ' s brother n a t u r a l l y had no l a c k of ambitious c o u r t i e r s w i l l i n g to use h i m as a m i s t r e s s , and we are not astonished to find h i m — or, to be m o r e prec i s e , it —engaged i n scabrous p o l i t i c a l intrigues and suspected of having instigated s e v e r a l s e c r e t a s s a s s i n a t i o n s . L o u i s d i s l i k e d P h i l i p p e , but he was not enough of a R o m a n to purge his own fami l y , nor was he enough of a C h r i s t i a n to feel effective c o n c e r n at h a r m done to others. The r o y a l p e r v e r t was l i k e an open sore on the body of F r a n c e when that nation was dominant i n E u r o p e . No one can estimate how much h a r m was done by the conspicuous c r e a t u r e , not m e r e l y i n spreading p e r v e r s i o n , but i n exciting ever y k i n d of d e m o r a l i z a t i o n , including contempt for the whole s o c i ety and even the r e l i g i o n that p e r m i t t e d so despicable a being to hold rank next to the v e r y highest and to r e c e i v e honor and flatt e r y , however h y p o c r i t i c a l . We must always bear i n m i n d the fact that homosexuality i s c o m m o n l y a s s o c i a t e d with p e r v e r s i o n of a l l the faculties and i n stincts n o r m a l to W e s t e r n men. One example of many i s E n r i q u e e l Impotente, who was K i n g of C a s t i l e f r o m 1454 to 1474. It i s significant, I think, that this pathological specimen, who a d m i t ted that he could not stand women and had his queen impregnated by an obliging c o u r t i e r , had an olfactory sense such that he c o n s i d e r e d the odor of burning leather the most d e l i c i o u s s m e l l i n the whole w o r l d , w i t h the p o s s i b l e exception of the a r o m a e m a n ating f r o m the s k u l l of a long-dead h o r s e .

those who had distinguished themselves by the number or the sadistic ferocity of their murders into his own bodyguard, which was otherwise composed of imported Moslems. Like the modern "Liberal," however, Enrique had a heart that was tender only for criminals and felt no compassion for decent people. When E n rique "farmed out" the extremely lucrative privilege of apportioning and collecting taxes (for a percentage) to a wealthy usurer. Rabbi Josef of Segovia, and one of the latter's colleagues, he authorized those remarkable officials to put to death without even a hearing any citizen who was remiss in paying whatever they chose to demand as taxes. Enrique was also, of course, a pacifist, although he was cunning enough to reach a secret understanding with Spain's enemies and then declare a fake war as a pretext for extorting more taxes from his suffering people. E n rique, who was also an expert at inflating currency and debasing the coinage by adulterating the silver, had many other progressive ideas. He undoubtedly knew what he was doing when he placed his twelve-year-old half-brother, whom he later poisoned, under a tutor who was a notorious pervert and who is said to have been successful in that branch of education, although there is some doubt and the boy had manhood enough to defend his sister, Isabella, a few years later when Enrique tried to make her promiscuous at the age of fourteen. Whatever hereditary taints account for Enrique, they evidently did not reach his half-sister, who eventually succeeded him on the throne and through whose courage and ability the Kingdom of Castile became the Kingdom of Spain. The foregoing comments are not a history of perversion, nor are they intended to show (what it would be obviously impossible to prove) that all homosexuals are inhuman monsters. But for at least twenty-two centuries in the Western world, homosexuality has consistently been a factor in repudiation of all morality and hence of civilization itself, which is obviously impossible without a general and instinctively accepted moral code. It is not a question of individuals who indulge in private practices that we consider loathsome and that are, in Christian terms, offenses against the Creator. What we must consider is a species that derives joy from the corruption of our children to its own level and seems driven by an urge to destroy us. As the author of the a r ticle in Human Events that I cited above concisely puts it, the members of the Homosexual International "constitute a worldwide conspiracy against society. " And that conspiracy is in our time a subsidiary or ally of the International Communist Conspiracy, not because homosexiials are subject to blackmail, as charitable people are inclined to suppose, but because their instincts lead them to the same frenzied hatred of Western civilization. That--I repeat--is not to say that all homosexuals are sadists. Of the literary men whom I mentioned above, Wilde seems to have had no criminal tendencies; Verlaine, it is true, tried to kill his lov^r, Rimbaud (who had participated in the Communist outbreak in Paris in 1870), but he probably had good reason; Gide eventually became "disillusioned" with the Communists and even criticized his former pals; and Proust was virtually a hermit. It is entirely possible, even probable, that there are more 153
than a few secret homosexuals who have no desire or impulse to destroy mankind, and we should all explicitly recognize that probability. Furthermore, it would be wrong to claim that the more violent homosexuals are all Communists. One thinks, for example, of two wealthy and brilliant undergraduates in the University of Chicago named Loeb and Leopold, who are still remembered because in Chicago in the 1920's they kidnapped and killed a young boy of their own race and social circle just for the perverted fun of killing him. One thinks also of their contemporary, F r i t z Haarman, another distinguished homosexual who attracted some attention in Gernxany when it was discovered that for many years he had been disposing of his boy-friends, as soon as he became tired of them, by tearing their throats open with his teeth and then grinding them up for sausage, which he sold in a delicatessen. There is no indication that Lioeb, Leopold, or Haarmann were affiliated with the Communist Conspiracy, although they certainly had the right instincts for leadership in the international revolution. We must all face the highly unpleasant fact that homosexuality is usually associated (either as cause or effect--it would be hard to say which) with sadism, and that sadism in turn, ivhen it does not find an outlet in acts of brutal violence, inspires the' passion for "equality" and "social justice" that masquerades as "idealism" and is accepted as such by unsuspecting persons who do not see that the only purpose of the "idealists" is to incite the violence and brutality that will give them a vicarious delight even if they have no opportvinity to participate in it personally. The very word sadism, by which we designate the lust to inflict pain and degradation on others, is derived from the name of an infamous pervert, the "Marquis" de Sade, author of what are probably the vilest books ever written, who was precisely what we should expect: a great apostle of the doctrine that a l l men are born equal ("La nature nous a fait naitre tous egaux"), a vociferous advocate of what his successors call "economic democracy, " and a close associate and collaborator of Marat, Robespierre, and other blood-thirsty leaders of the French Revolution. De Sade's career is merely typical: he was twice condemned to death for atrocious crimes of the kind to which he has given his name, but the sentences, unfortunately, were not carried out; he was i n prison in 1790, when he was released by fellow idealists to participate in the "struggle for human r i g h t s , " and, i n addition to orating about egalite and fraternite, he personally had lots of fun for thirteen years until Napoleon came to power and sent h i m back to prison. Also typical of the born agitator i s the undergraduate at the University of Chicago who in his diary deplored his " i n a b i l i t y to control society" and to "run the world." He determined to make (12)For s o m e c a s e - h i s t o r i e s , see D r . J a m e s M .

S e e l i g , who knowingly signed that document, that gave a f a l s i f i e d address, 633 Flowe r S t r e e t , Venice, C a l i f o r n i a , as the e s t a b l i s h e d and legal residence, whereas the legal residence and home was at 1057 West 74th S t r e e t , Los Angeles, C a l i f o r n i a , and that a proper p e t i t i o n (D-5288862) f o r divorce and custody of the c h i l d r e n was on f i l e since October 31, 1957 In the Downtown Los Angeles Superior Court. On August 26, 1958, homosexual p e r v e r t s , together with the mother, Charlotte S e e l i g , and her lesbian l o v e r , Helen Schade, then known as Helen Armbrust with other lesbians looted the e s t a b l i s h e d home at 1057 West 74th S t r e e t , Los Angeles, C a l i f o r n i a , taking the two minor c h i l d r e n with them Into hiding to an address unknown to p e t i t i o n e r , and on or about September 1, 1958, abandoned the c h i l d r e n In the care of a j u v e n i l e , Dessie Bolen, then 17, i n a shack i n the rear of 633 Flower S t r e e t , Venice, C a l i f o r n i a , The mother and her lesbian lover went to l i v e at another address, unknown to the p e t i t i o n e r . During t h i s p e r i o d , p e t i t i o n e r was making a f r a n t i c day and night search for his daughter and son and was denied the help of a l l law enforcement agencies on claim there was no law against homosexuals or homosexuality. In mid-October, p e t i t i o n e r appealed to the C a l i f o r n i a State Senate Committee on Law Enforcement, and C a l i f o r n i a State Senator Edwin Regan. . A f t e r i n v e s t i g a t i o n by the State Senate Committee's i n v e s t i g a t o r s , Murray Stravers and Tom S l a c k , ruled that the c h i l d r e n were i n the hands of perverts and there were ample laws f o r p o l i c e to act and j o i n i n the search f o r the c h i l d r e n . Stravers and Slack were ordered to confer with p o l i c e o f f i c i a l s , accompanied by p e t i t i o n e r , father of the c h i l d r e n . At that time only the p e t i t i o n e r and Edward Mosk, attorney, aside from the committee, knew t h i s p o l i c e action was to take p l a c e . On October 24, 1958, almost on the eve of the p o l i c e conference p e t i t i o n e r was served with a document—SMO 17743, at a newspaper In Pasadena, C a l i f o r n i a , where p e t i t i o n e r was working. I t ended the search and averted o f f i c i a l p o l i c e action. Attorney Mosk knew the document SMD 17743 was not only i r r e g u l a r but fraudulent and he s a i d he would act on i t . He stated that his brother, Stanley Mosk, then a judge i n Santa Monica Superior Court, and now Attorney General for C a l i f o r n i a , had been consulted. P e t i t i o n e r requested at that time a r e s t r a i n i n g order against the c h i l dren being exposed to homosexual p e r v e r t s , persons of Immoral character and Immoral environment. Attorney Mosk t o l d p e t i t i o n e r that under C a l i f o r n i a law he would f i r s t have to consult with the attorney f o r the homosexuals, Charles Morrison, f o r agreement and accord, f o r a j o i n t f i l i n g of such a motion f o r a r e s t r a i n i n g order. This was done. P e t i t i o n e r a l s o asked f o r a court i n v e s t i g a t i o n of the case. G l o r i a Busch of the Domestic Relations Department of the Superior Court was appointed not only to i n v e s t i g a t e but to enforce the r e s t r a i n i n g order. This she refused to do, giving as her reason that she saw nothing wrong with homosexuality or the c h i l d r e n being with homosexuals. P e t i t i o n e r then, a f t e r securing a v i s i t with his c h i l d r e n , took them i n t o p r o t e c t i v e custody and placed them In a licensed f o s t e r home, 1739 Brigdon Road, Pasadena, C a l i f o r n j a , . with Mrs. Cal Watts, who had been recommended by the Pasadena M i n i s t e r i a l A s s o c i a t i o n . He also e n r o l l e d the c h i l d r e n in a nursery school. The Santa Monica Superior Court, Judge Brand p r e s i d i n g , refused to issue an order to the lesbians to return the c h i l d r e n ' s c l o t h i n g and toys. He also refused to issue an order to the lesbians to surrender the p e t i t i o n e r ' s c l o t h i n g and personal e f f e c t s . The c h i l d r e n were bought new c l o t h i n g and toys by t h e i r f a t h e r , the petitioner. Judge Brand took over as Juvenile Court judge on a report made by Mrs. Busch that was f a l s e and contained perjury by Mrs. Busch. Attorney Mosk consented to the c h i l d r e n being made wards of the Juvenile Court under p r o t e s t and against the w i l l of the p e t i t i o n e r , the father of the c h i l d r e n . During the search f o r the c h i l d r e n , p e t i t i o n e r i n going to homosexual pervert bars seeking the whereabouts of his c h i l d r e n , was t o l d by Jack Fox, operator of the notorious lesbian b a r .

Judge Brand refused petitioner's request for an investigation of the case by the Los Angeles County Grand Jury. He also told petitioner he would not allow any of the officers of the court to be investigated. Petitioner was cited for t r i a l for alleged illegal seizure of his children; t r i a l was set for October 31, 1958. Meanwhile, petitioner had gone to 633 Flower Street, Venice, California, and learned from neighbors that his children had lived in squalor, hovel conditiions and had gone hungry with neighbors giving them food; that the mother and her lesbian lover lived elsewhere and had made several v i s i t s ; told of their vulgarity and obscenity in those v i s i t s , the neglect and abuse of his children, and that neighbors had complained to the owner of 633 Flower Street, Mrs. Lee Sherman, that unless the children were removed they would complain to the police. Petitioner issued subpoena to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Burke, who lived in a cottage in front of the shack at 533 Flower Street, Venice, and to Mrs. Sherman to appear and to testify at the October 31, 1958 t r i a l of petitioner for alleged i l l e gal seizure of his children. Before petitioner got to the court of Judge Brand in the Santa Monica Superior Court, his witnesses had been dismissed and the t r i a l was cancelled. Thus he was prevented from proving in open court that SMD 17743 was a fraudulent document; that he had acted in the best interests of his children, and that the court had no jurisdiction. It was then that petitioner dismissed Attorney Mosk as counsel for the children and for himself, when Mosk admitted that organized homosexuals had contributed to election of his brother, Stanley Mosk. Petitioner had submitted 42 items of evidence, both pictorial and pervert letters written by homosexuals, including those of the mother, and a letter of a lesbian's mother pleading with the lesbians not to continue their perversion.activities. The letters disclosed homosexual inter-state t r a f f i c for immoral purposes, of recruiting youth into homosexuality and described obscene love-making by those lesbian perverts. Petitioner was denied the right by Judge Brand to bring into his Juvenile Court chambers witnesses against homosexuals. Petitioner defied the Court by bringing to the chambers N.A. Taminich, a former Array captain, and Miss Julie Brown, to testify against the homosexuals and of the minor children being taken to homosexual pervert bars: The Paradise Club, the If Club and The Roost. Miss Brown, before she and Mr. Taminish were ordered out of Judge brand's chambers, insisted on telling how the mother of the children attempted to recruit her into nomosexuality, and of Sandra being taken to the pervert If Club bar. Mr. Taminich later signed a documented statement of his being 'brow-beaten' by Judge Brand and not being allowed to testify as to what he knew. Petitioner has cited but a few instances of what occurred. Judge Brand and Judge Rhodes favored homosexuals, protected them, concealed and suppressed evidence against them. Judge Orlando Rhodes gave a default divorce to the homosexual mother after Judges Brand and Rhodes told petitioner that i f he did not cause scandal and stigma on his children by not having a divorce t r i a l , there was no chance of the mother ever being awarded custody and that custody of the^ children would be given him. Santa Monica Probation Officer James Discoe and Juvenile Officer Ron Ortman had not only investigated the homosexuals but verified i t , as well as p e t i tioner's love and devotion to his children and his taking proper care of them. Probation Officer Discoe had recommended custody be given to petitioner. He had also recommended that the children not be removed from Mrs. Watt's home, and he had subpoenaed Mrs. Busch to bring into court a report on Helen Schade which she had concealed and suppressed. At the same time. Officer Discoe issued a subpoena for Helen Schade for perjury, and made a report to the court together with a doctor's report based on a three-month study of the mother, Charlotte Seeligls i n curable homosexuality. Mr. Discoe requested the court to appoint a doctor to e x amine Sandra Seelig as to her having been sexually molested and abused by the perverts. It was evidenced to the foster mother and the doctor who attended the children. Mr. Discoe was then removed from the case, and substituted for him was Mary Louise Rymal, a friend of Mrs. 6usch, who also favored and espoused the cause of homosexuality. On February 10, 1959, Mrs. Rymal with another woman, a Los Angeles County administration social service worker, seized the children from Mrs. Watt's home without a court hearing or an order for i t . Mrs. Rwmal's abusiveness caused Mrs. 188
Watts to s u f f e r a heart attack from which she l a t e r d i e d . Mrs. Watts had preferred charges against both Mrs. Busch and Mrs. Rymal. Judge Brand refused to give hearing to those charges. Mrs. Rymal placed the c h i l d r e n in the home of a Mrs. H o l t z , wife of a Pomona, C a l i f o r n i a professor, who had one adopted c h i l d and wanted to adopt two more c h i l d r e n . Probation O f f i c e r Discoe gave p e t i t i o n e r Mrs. H o l t z ' s address and t o l d him to make a d i r e c t appointment with Mrs. Holtz to see his c h i l d r e n . In a phone conversation, Mrs. Holtz t o l d p e t i t i o n e r that Mrs. Rymal had i n formed her that the father was a homosexual and was not to see his c h i l d r e n . She l a t e r phoned p e t i t i o n e r and t o l d him the c h i l d r e n had again been seized by Mrs. Rymal and taken to Juvenile Hall and separated for the f i r s t time. Mrs. Rymal l a t e r t o l d p e t i t i o n e r i t was on the order of Judge Brand; he denied i t . On February 26, 1959, Judge Brand made a court entry order f o r seizure of the c h i l d r e n from Mrs. Watt's home. I t covered up f o r Mrs. Rymal's i l l e g a l seizure of the c h i l d r e n on February 10th. Throughout his month-long, day and night search f o r his c h i l d r e n , p e t i t i o n e r had been threatened by homosexuals and had been t o l d he would be imprisoned as i n sane i f he continued his f i g h t for his c h i l d r e n and for pressing f o r i n v e s t i g a t i o n and hearings on the homosexual influence and power in government agencies and in the s t a t e c o u r t s . R e s t r i c t i o n s against the mother were dropped, also the orders p r o h i b i t i n g Helen Schade from a s s o c i a t i o n or contact with the c h i l d r e n were removed. A p e t i t i o n in the Juvenile Court of the Superior Court dated as f i l e d December 8, 1961, in pertinent p a r t , d i s c l o s e s : The f o l l o w i n g grounds on change of circumstances and new evidence now exists: The mother of the above captioned dependent c h i l d r e n has, under the superv i s i o n of the Probation Department, e s t a b l i s h e d a home for s a i d c h i l d r e n at 2659 Benbury P l a c e , Los Angeles 65, C a l i f o r n i a . The s a i d home as made with Helen Schade i s a s a t i s f a c t o r y one, and the c h i l d r e n are progressing s a t i s f a c t o r i l y . That in the opinion of the undersigned, a s u f f i c i e n t l y s a t i s f a c t o r y adjustment has been made so that supervision should be t e r minated, and the P e t i t i o n making the s a i d c h i l d r e n wards of the Juvenile Court should be d i s m i s s e d . ' P e t i t i o n e r Frederick S e e l i g did not learn of t h i s u n t i l May 1, 1962 when a r e g i s t e r e d l e t t e r with the above mentioned document was delivered to him at t h i s prison by e r r o r . He was not supposed to receive any news regarding his c h i l d r e n or of the custody hearing. On r e c e i p t of the document, p e t i t i o n e r responded the same day with an answer to the Juvenile Court p r o t e s t i n g and c i t i n g reasons why the p e t i t i o n should not only be rejected but the c h i l d r e n should be taken i n t o p r o t e c t i v e custody from the mother and Helen Schade. A hearing had been set f o r May 4, 1962 on that custody petition. On or about May 6, 1962, he received a copy of an order issued by the court at the May 4th hearing: 'THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED THAT: ... MINORS' PHYSICAL CUSTODY HAVING BEEN RESTORED TO THE MOTHER BY ORDER OF JUNE 6, 1961, MINOR SHALL RESIDE UNDER COURT SUPERVISION IN THE HOME OF THE MOTHER AT 2695 BANBURY PLACE, LOS ANGELES 65, CALIFORNIA, pending FURTHER ORDER OF THE COURT. HATTER IS CONTINUED TO THE NON-APPEARANCE CALENDER OF JULY 6, 1962, FOR REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE NEED FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION.' The order i s deceptive. I t permits the c h i l d r e n to remain not only with the immoral mother but a l s o with her lesbian l o v e r , Helen Schade, i n her home, 2695 Banbury Place. This i s the same Helen Schade about whom testimony had been given in that Juvenile Court—that she had been witnessed i n r e p u l s i v e and obscene homosexual, s o - c a l l e d love-making with the mother, who was, using layman's terms, 'going down on Helen Schade," with both nude in bed and the mother's head between the legs of Helen Schade, with Sandra, the minor c h i l d , watching. Pervert l e t t e r s in the handwriting of the mother, among the evidence items i n the J u v e n i l e Court, t o l d of her s i m i l a r obscene love-making with other l e s b i a n s . Despite t h i s , and the other evidence of s i m i l a r nature, the Juvenile Court gave custody to the pervert mother and her lesbian l o v e r . P e t i t i o n e r charges the Court c r i m i n a l l y and knowingly exposed the c h i l d r e n to perversion environment and rearing in homosexuality. 189
The Los Angeles County Probation department has been criminal not only in being accessories but in espousing the cause of homosexuality and advocating i n troduction of c h i l d r e n to homosexuality. When the c h i l d r e n were taken to Los Angeles County Juvenile Hall f o r monthly v i s i t s with the mother, under supposedly r i g i d s u p e r v i s i o n , homosexual perverts were allowed to enter with her to see the c h i l d r e n , anci p e t i t i o n e r brought charges on i t . The v i s i t i n g card records were then destroyed and the Juvenile Court 'whitewashed' i t by c l o s i n g the case. Karl Holton, however, admitted i t had occurred in a l e t t e r to a B a l t i m o r e , Maryland attorney and s a i d in that l e t t e r the s i t u a t i o n had been c o r r e c t e d . Bessie Bolen, with whom the c h i l d r e n were l e f t in the shack at 633 Flower S t r e e t , Venice, a f t e r she had been picked up by p o l i c e at 339-B Brooks S t r e e t , Venice, C a l i f o r n i a , t o l d p o l i c e of w i l d sex p a r t i e s in the presence of the c h i l d r e n at a l e s b i a n ' s home where they were taken the night of August 26, 1958, u n t i l she and the c h i l d r e n were removed to the shack on September 1, 1958. The Juvenile Court refused to allow testimony on I t or f o r the pervert mother or her lesbian lover to t e s t i f y on that week. P e t i t i o n e r learned that the Bolen g i r l had been taken to Juvenile H a l l . When he attempted to get a statement from her, a f t e r the D i s t r i c t Attorney's o f f i c e and Juvenile o f f i c e r s refused to do so, she was shipped out of the s t a t e of C a l i fornia. P e t i t i o n e r , however, l a t e r obtained l e t t e r s from the Bolen g i r l ' which d i s closed the maltreatment of the c h i l d r e n . Those l e t t e r s were among the evidence and f i l e s confiscated by J u s t i c e Department representatives at A m a r i l l o , Texas. P e t i t i o n e r requests photostats and photocopies of l e t t e r s and p i c t u r e s in the f i l e s of the Los Angeles County Probation Department, the D i s t r i c t A t t o r n e y ' s o f f i c e and the United States Attorney's o f f i c e be subpoenaed in behalf of his c h i l d r e n . P e t i t i o n e r has a few photocopies of evidence items overlooked i n the c o n f i s cation of h i s property in t h i s prison but he Is not allowed to submit them as e v i dence i n behalf of the c h i l d r e n because i t would lead to an i n v e s t i g a t i o n of Fede r a l agencies covering up the influence and power of homosexuals in government as well as the c o u r t s ; how he was ' r a i l r o a d e d ' with rlqaed proceedings i n t o t h i s p r i son so that no t r i a l could be held f o r alleged l i b e l and what a t r i a l would d i s close. P e t i t i o n e r prays that the court w i l l issue an i n j u n c t i o n against f u r t h e r proceedings, e s p e c i a l l y that of J u l y 6, 1962. He prays that the Appellate Court or the Supreme Court w i l l remove the minor c h i l d r e n from the j u r i s d i c t i o n of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County and from the j u r i s d i c t i o n of the Los Angeles County Probation Department pending i n v e s t i g a t i o n of p e t i t i o n e r ' s charges. The attorney f o r the homosexuals, Charles Morrison, had boasted i n the corr i d o r of Juvenile Court in Santa Monica: ' W e ' l l get our own p s y c h i a t r i s t to adjudge the mother cured a f t e r we get r i d of the f a t h e r . ' P e t i t i o n e r has not been allowed knowledge of the whereabouts of his c h i l d r e n by the Juvenile Court of Santa Monica since February 10, 1959. He believed h i s c h i l d r e n were being protected from homosexuality. P e t i t i o n e r requests his c h i l d r e n be t o l d that t h e i r f a t h e r has never ceased his love f o r or devotion to them. He f u r t h e r s t a t e s that three times he has had proper homes f o r h i s c h i l d r e n and was f i n a n c i a l l y able to more than adequately care f o r them, but that preference was given to the homosexual mother and to her lesbian f r i e n d s . P e t i t i o n e r prays that the court w i l l appoint a competent attorney to represent the c h i l d r e n and that the attorney w i l l be i n s t r u c t e d to correspond with pet i t i o n e r who w i l l d i s c l o s e to him where duplicate photocopies of evidence can be obtained, the names of witnesses i n behalf of his c h i l d r e n and evidence on the homosexual a c t i v i t i e s nationwide. Malcom Mackay, Los Angeles a t t o r n e y .

I t s t a r t e d with complaints, backed by witnesses and evidence never given a hearing, on the homosexual i n f l u e n c e and corruption w i t h i n Los Angeles County Government and the Los Angeles County Superior Courts. "Due process of law was denied and c o n s t i t u t i o n a l r i g h t s were ignored. On December 2, 1961, I was arrested while on my way back to Los Angeles witf^ evidence a and documents to press f o r hearings.
