Those Housed on Pennsylvania Death Row Fight Back!

Dec. 2004

Several PA. SCI – Greene former death row status inmates that have had their sentence of death over turned and/or vacated have filed suits to be taken off of death row housing units.

For about a year or so now the buzz at SCI – Greene from the legal beagles (e.g. Jailhouse Lawyers) dubbed “Death Row Firm” by myself, have been preparing for this moral fight, and the guns are blazing.

One former death row status inmate still being housed on death row unit has filed his suit in the Court of Common Pleas of Greene County of Pennsylvania cited as Ernest Porter Plaintiff vs. Louis S. Folino Defendant, Case No. 916,2004 by Pro-se Litigant on “04 Nov. – 4, am 10:27 Office of the Prothonotary Greene County Pa.”Reflected by clerk of court stamp on documents.  Petition is citing “condition of administrative/solitary confinement unconstitutional”, “There is no legitimate reason for this institution or the Department of Corrections (abbr. DOC.) to keep him under these harsh conditions”, “cruel, and unusual punishment”, “equal protection”, all within a state habeas corpus.

After an interview with two death row firm members and inspection of their documentation, this reporter has found out DOC. Rely on Administration Procedures Manual Policy 6.5.8 capital case (see as followed): An inmate (1) physically committed to the DOC. under a sentence of capital punishment;                                                                           (2) pending sentencing under a jury recommendation for capital punishment; or (3) whose sentence of capital punishment has been vacated, but is awaiting re-sentencing where a sentence of capital punishment may be re-imposed. Et. Seq.  (1) and (2) are legal and binding, however, (3) is not by law or statute only a add on by DOC.  Designed to keep those inmates on death row rolls while the state tries to appeal court’s actions, leaving prisoner in a defacto – status in most cases for years.

This reporter questioned another petitioner “why he personally filed?” he answered “extreme duress, and oppression while being housed on death row units!”  I further inquired “what did they think was the true cause or reason of their (DOC.) actions?” he answered, “money! to inflate death row prison numbers in order to receive state and federal funding.”  If the Death Row Firm wins this suite 1/3 to 1/2 of inmates would be deducted from death row numbers.  Having related this, this reporter prays the Death Row Firm complete success in their endeavor, hoping they keep in mind “It’s not what you know, but what you can prove!”

This reporter’s final thoughts: To all my fellow death row prisoners in the same or similar situation, I declare “Stand up, Stand up, Stand up for your Rights!”  “Rise up, Rise up, don’t avoid the fight, don’t avoid the fight!”  Yours forever faithful,

"Hijab / Muslim's women head scarf"

 

2-23-2005

Is the hijab a political statement? No, first and foremost it’s a woman choice to honor God’s (i.e. Allah’s) laws from, and for Islam’s women’s worshipers.

The world tries to use the country of Turkey as a example to oppose the head scarf, however, turkey is 90% Muslim, so why shouldn’t the country reflect its populace’s views to lifting the oppressive band on the head scarf, are those who uses Turkey as a example not supporter and/or justifying a tyrannical government and its policy against the will of it’s people? THIS is a clear model of men using man made laws, trying to force worldly (e.g. secular) ways on those who personally wish to practice, and follow their religious obligation , but, not infringing on other rights as this band poses. Because of turkey’s oppressive policy the country of France has now followed suit. This is part of the reasoning why Muslims can not live under any other system, but the SHAREE’AH (God’s LAW) for man, just as the (12) twelve tribes of Israel has a Sharee'ah (i.e. laws of mose e.g. away of life) that Jesus honored (may Allah be pleased with them both), so it is for the Muslim sharee’ah by the last, and final Prophet Muhammad (may Allah be pleased with him). God (i.e. Allah) has always prescribed laws for man to live by, to live by another rule of law is in it self a form of worship of those law makes, and system, that ultimately will lead to slippery slopes toward a degenerated society (e.g. loose morals, aids, high crime rates, tyrannical state rule, corruption, racism, high divorce rates, homosexuality, and unjust wars, etc….)

Hijab Political Statement?

For those that are threaten by the head scarf, I would like to pose a few questions: If the hijab is a political symbol, then what political statement is every Catholic nun’s position? They clearly wear a head scarf. By them wearing the head scarf is this a sign of oppression against women? Where are the protests against the pope, and /or Vatican ? Furthermore, if a nun goes into a French school or Turkey ’s University are they banned entry?

-IN-TRUTH-

This is no more then a western neo-white supremacy understanding on the head scarf issue, deeming it oppressive, and political. From the 1970’s on back the west worn their form of head scarfs as a fashion and/or part of their heritage. This neo-white supremacy system to vilify anything not familiar or not promoted by their society as a whole, e.g. “if we are not pushing it, it’s not to be accepted,” type of philosophy.

Historical examples: Christianize the world i.e. through slavery, and/or colonialism; indigent people other then themselves where deemed savages blacks, and Indians; and now today all societies in the world must be secular, and democratic to their liking, and interest. Please recall America is still a child in the democratic game; she ( America ) is not (40) forty years old yet in practicing this (so called) free society. (HELLO!), the civil rights era of blacks in this country, have we forgotten? and this writer belief that America still doesn’t have it right, but that another op-ed or even a book.

In conclusion

When a woman makes a personal choice, and commitment to honor her God’s laws, and requests of her, she should have the God (i.e. Allah) given right to do so (see in support) et seq Quar’an 4:59-60,24:31; declaration of independence’s preamble “and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate, and of nature’s god entitle them, “next paragraph down” we bold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights”; U.S. constitution guarantees freedom of religion 1amendment; bible I Corinthians 11:5-6,16. Having cited this, Muslim don’t worship 1 day a week, we worship as a way of life, by the Qur’an, and the Sunnah which is a manifestation of our Sharee’ah laws from god (i.e. Allah) to those in mankind who wish to believe (e.g. there is your freedom of choice), it’s wrong to believe the western concept one size fits all. For the record there are still people, and nations who want, and have the right to be ruled by the laws of God (I.E. Allah), and his only! For those who that don’t agree, “To you be your way and to us be our way” (i.e. all done in the spirit of democracy, government form by the people it choice to make). Yours forever faithful, the radicalliscious reporter, “Power to the people Muslims unite, and ratify your Allah’s Sharee’ah, “and for western style government supporters please recall William Penn, said all “If men will not be governed by God, then they must be governed by tyrants”, ain’t that the truth…..

" AMERICA 'S STATE'S DEATH PENALTY ARE ALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL!"

 

The Big Lie!   America the land of milk, and honey, and with justice, and equality for all!

Now, I beg to differ, all persons born or naturalized in the United States (i.e. Blacks and/or minorities, and the Poor), are the majority of those subject to America s state's death penalty. The, biggest reason is that America 's states that have the death penalty are unequal, and unconstitutional in nature. Moreover, there is already a clear alternative for the U.S. citizen's interest of true, and full justice, and equality for all!

There, is on/or about (14) fourteen states in America without the death penalty one of them is " West Virginia " that happens to boarder my state Pennsylvania that carries the death penalty unlike West Virginia .

For, an example let's say, if a crazy killer or killers go on a rampage (e.g. Murdering Spree Or a Major Catastrophe Killing a Large Number Of U. S.

Citizens), in my state of Pennsylvania or any other state that hold the death penalty on it's books, they could be fully prosecuted, and given a sentence of death. However, if this person or group of people would exercise the same exact crime in West Virginia they would not be eligible for the death penalty; does this not imply ones life is less valued in West Virginia then in Pennsylvania ? is this fair, and equal protection of america1s u.s. citizens? Withstanding, most if not all legal scholars, jurist, and politicians of this great country that already know answers too these questions also, "This is a clear, and evident, and well known violation of the U.S. Constitution [XIV] Amendment,"

-Blacks Minorities, And The Poor-

Are, continually arbitrary, and capriciously prosecuted with america1s state death penalties the majority of the time, even when they don't qualify for the death sentence, they are the majority of america1 s state' s death row, Nevertheless, these disenfranchised u.s. citizens, are also presently experiencing a clear and distinct u.s. Constitutional violation (i.e. same above cited example, but perpetrator, or so called perpetrator perspective), of the [XIV] amendment of their "Dual Citizenship Clause," (i.e. u.s. citizen, and state citizen dilemma), and "No state can deny to any person equal protection of the laws," (i.e. death penalty states vs. none death penalty states), this is a real, and substantial conflict, (e.g. one's u.s. citizenship vs. their state citizenship status), that deems all state [Death Penalty] unconstitutional!" You mean to tell me this [GED]-holder- is the only one to figure this out?

-Something To Think About-

Using, the same example previously cited, if the same person or group cited above where located in a death penalty state, and wanted to kill, but was smart enough to do all killings in the none death penalty states to avoid the death sentence if caught, and preserve the group's recruitment options or a person's chance of escape or parole to resume their activities of choice, even life in prison is ok. to them, having said this the present defacto-state death penalty status being applied in America is a haven for the group of killers, And/Or heaven on earth for the deviant sole murderer, what a bargain...

-Ready Alternative-

The, federal death penalty statue is the only constitutionally correct application, and implementation against its U.S. citizens, and foreign aliens within the boarders of the Continental of the U.S. states of America . And, furthermore, every competent legal scholar, jurist, politician know this as you now are informed.

Now, there can be no doubt in your mind pursuant to all cited therein these examples are a matter of fact that no matter where the crime is committed West Virginia Pennsylvania or anywhere else in the u.s. state of America where the federal guidelines/statue the death penalty is warranted, and have no misconception would be enforced pursuant to clear operation of law.

-Attention-

All, U.S. citizens, politicians, jurists, all persons oppose to the death penalty, And/Or advocates on both sides of the fence, or those for justice, and equality in the united states of America . It, is now our obligation on each an every one of us reading this (Op-ed Blogg), in the interest of true, and real security and justice, and equality for all Americans no matter there race, economical status, regional locations, to call on the abolishment of all America's state's death penalties by vacating of all present death row inmates sentences to life. Then, hence further all death penalty case be refereed, and prosecuted by federal government to ensure justice, and equality for all...

Please Note: u.s. constitution supports this argument in its entirety, however, the violations are [IX](9), And [IXV[(14> amendments of the u.s. constitution, thank you.
