The purpose of this
brief is to clearly explain compounded legal issues, multiple allegations
involving numerous criminal activities and demonstrates how each entity have
been allowed to continue to operate with impunity.
These events have occurred across multiple
States and with proof of combined efforts…these incidents can easily be
considered as operating as a monopoly – violating the Antitrust Laws.
These multiple legal situations; which
involves, copyright infringements, breach of contract, civil rights violations,
mail tampering, court tampering and violent acts.
These multiple legal situations also involves:
Officials, Major Music Labels, Michigan Courts, Dekalb County Police and
Georgia Court’s – violation of Due Process, officials ‘acting under color of
law’ to deprive rights and alleges judicial misconduct.
Pacer and other documents show courts ignored factual evidence,
switched Judges without cause or explanation after plaintiff filed for Summary
Judgment and the Clerk’s Office deliberately hindered justice.
These events have occurred across multiple States and with proof
of combined efforts…these incidents can easily be considered as operating as
a monopoly – violating the Antitrust Laws.
Each of these events
have stemmed from a collaboration and/or conflict between a billion dollar
industry and Officials.
This Brief demonstrates
in detail how a corrupt system has deliberately allowed the use of money, power
and positions to create a form of enslavement in order to circumvent justice
and to exact revenge for the death of a slain police officer.
This Brief
demonstrates deliberate misconduct by the courts and clerks by willfully
depriving individuals of their rights by ignoring facts, circumventing justice,
manipulating court docket entries, excluding defendants from dockets and
assisting in depriving individuals of their rights.
This Brief sheds
light on corruption and plot for revenge and abuse of power which has been
allowed to continue for over two decades! There are way too many
coincidences where these numerous events and horrible acts can attributed to a
single individual for this to be random.
There were hundreds
of millions of dollars in music royalties involved with the multiple
allegations of copyright infringements, breach of contract, song placements
prior to Zomba contract and deprivation of civil rights that all stemmed from
conflict between major entities and opponents.
Once it was
established that a profit could be made from my talents, the Officials using
the police to hinder definitely did not want to help (in any way) the daughter
of a man accused of killing a police officer.
Those in the music
industry definitely do not want to see a woman receive any assistance without
first succumbing to the control of a man who is properly aligned; especially,
since it is customary for African-American women in the music industry. These
men didn’t even see the need for decency and made no effort to even pretend
like they could see past themselves.
Neither entity wants
to recognize an African-American female even with evidence and supporting
documentation proving allegations and corruption. Instead, they chose to apply
pressure, violate, and condemn all while they conduct business as if I do not
exist. Each acting as if I am a piece of property to be traded, sold and
discarded. So when I hear the words ‘Pick a side,’ that’s when I decide to pick
my own side.
Caught in crossfire
between these major entities and in the name of others, I have been repeatedly assaulted,
violated, and harassed in order to break my spirit, causing my demise.
I am being held
accountable for violent acts bestowed upon others. I am forced to live as a
homeless outcast, subjected by any and every one, without the rights guaranteed
by the constitution of the United States. I will continue to compile further
evidence showing deliberate deprivation of rights until I have rights!
I learned firsthand how
it feels to be put on display so I am certain that THEY won’t like it either!
Below are highlights,
background information and supporting documentation:
‘It is
easier to ignore facts and allow corruption to continue by claiming that my
complaint was bizarre, irrational and indeed delusional but I didn’t imagine
bullet holes, family members assaulted, friend and house shot up, my songs
‘gutted’ and played on the radio…
“For over two decades…Officials while acting ‘under color of
law,’ circumvented justice and enslaved daughter of man accused of murdering a
Police Officer and bar owner, Cass
Czerwinski in 1969. (I can’t help but wonder if
Czerwinski is related to Democratic Representative Joseph C. Czerwinski).
Officials under collaboration with a billion dollar industry
has used courts, judges, power, positions and connections with Music Business
to exact revenge and for the purposes of making profit from enslaved
individuals.
Police acting
‘under color of law’ used illegally obtained warrant to negatively modify criminal
background. Police used expired illegally obtained warrant to take public
housing, caused loss of employment and hindered any and all assistance with the
use of threats and intimidation.
During the initial stages of my allegations of copyright
infringements, accusations of mail tampering and violation of civil rights, I
contacted the D.O.J. but at that time and although subjected to violate acts,
they advised that this was a simple copyright infringement and breach of
contract case.
Recently I have compiled a list of events and supporting
documentation to establish that there is definitely evidence of a conspiracy, a
combined effort to defraud and definitely confirms a Monopoly situation.
The only difference is that these major record companies continue to shuffle
people and label names but they are under the same group.
According to Michigan Department of Corrections; my
father – Robert Heard, was convicted of murdering a Detroit Police Officer,
Stanley Rapaski and bar owner, Cass Czerwinski in 1969. I can’t help but wonder if Czerwinski is related to
Democratic Representative Joseph C. Czerwinski because it seems like I have
been catching hell since birth.
My mother, Mary, raised my siblings and me as Jehovah’s
Witnesses. She was initially supportive of pursing my career in the music
industry at first. Her cooperation came shortly after my sister was raped and
dropped off at the Kingdom Hall of
Jehovah’s Witnesses.
This religious organization professes to be separate from
society and they insist that their members do not associate with anyone who is
NOT a Jehovah’s Witnesses. They insist that none of their members participate
in politics and they deter their children from seeking a higher education.
This organization, established in Brooklyn, NY encouraged
our parents to deliberately deter college and raise their children separately.
This was for the sole purpose of victimizing. I feel like I was specifically
targeted along with those others who were unfortunate to have parents who we’re
Jehovah’s witnesses.
Brooklyn, New York is one of the five and I find it odd
that Jehovah’s Witnesses promote separation from society when they themselves
are knee deep in one of the most popular states in America. I remember hearing
the Notorious B.I.G. singing, ‘Brooklyn’s in the house’ and I recall thinking
about how I didn’t want to connect the two or should I say the Five.
After being targeted
for one or both reasons, I have had multiple musical works that I have created
– stolen, gutted, and used to inflict harm against me. These same works
generated hundreds of millions of dollars for others; yet, I received nothing
but threats. Instinctively knowing that there is a definite connection between
the use of my works and my inability to receive any type of assistance in
bringing the culprits to justice. This is difficult to accept especially after
presenting supporting documents to substantiate my claims.
This is not a matter of
living in the past because just recently this situation had me handcuffed,
detained in a cell and denied entry into Canada – 2013! I was physically
violated, mocked and harassed within the last six months so don’t try to
pretend that it’s a matter of the past. Just recently, I was bombarded with
messages regarding someone’s friend being dead and implying that I am in some
way responsible. That’s what I am living with, TODAY!
It has been implied that if anyone helps me in any way on my
quest to free myself from this man-made oppression, that they would end up in a
wheelchair or worse. It must be true because it has been decades and I am still
struggling by myself to obtain some kind of rights to privacy and justice. Even
with the threats of homelessness, imprisonment and being alone in this
nightmare, I refuse to just fade to black for people who don’t even see me as a
human being.
Lovelace states, ‘I am not, nor have I ever been a strung
out, drug using prostitute. I am not a hardened criminal. It seems like the
only rights that people in power want me to have is the right to remain silent.
Every step I take to move forward, I am delayed in some way.’ Even if she were,
it would not justify denying me the same civil rights others are privy to.
Although
I have compounded legal issues, I have tried to provide brief numbered details
of some of what has occurred
below but not all. I am continuing to seek legal assistance and because there
are compounded situations but to provide a summary:
1.
My father is
incarcerated for allegedly killing a Detroit Police Officer, Stanley
Rapaski and Cass Czerwinski. I can’t help but wonder if Czerwinski is related
to Democratic Representative Joseph C. Czerwinski.
First, anyone who kills a
police officer – their family is definitely persecuted and is unable to obtain
assistance from the system; especially, if that person is a prominent member of
society. Everyone knows that police stick together and as a matter of fact, the
other accomplice conveniently died while being apprehended in that case. Human
nature…
2.
I wrote the lyrics and
melody that were used for a television sitcom many years ago. These lyrics were
given to now prominent music producers, Lee Marcus and Jake Salazar. Of course,
I didn’t find out about the use of the song until years later.
3.
Since the individuals
who placed the first songs didn’t offer contract or monetary compensation, I
kept writing with other local producers. Later, I was offered a 50/50
co-publishing agreement with Zomba after a disagreement with Larry Hatcher and
Art & Rhythm’s Larry Campbell.
4.
Zomba’s 50/50 Publishing
Agreement made reference to taking co-ownership of all songs written by me;
including material prior to signing. (Remember I was not aware that the
previous songs were used yet).
5.
I spoke with two
entertainment attorneys prior to signing; the fact that previous
attorney’s would encourage signing a contract for little dollars when they know
that all entertainment lawyers would most likely require a large retainer in
the end demonstrates that there is a problem.
6.
Zomba representatives
then attempted to pressure me to sign management contracts with producers that
were on their roster whom I had never met. I refused.
7.
While contracted with
Zomba, I submitted over 40 song lyrics and melodies that were discussed in
detail with their representatives and some listed directly in the contract.
8.
After submitting these
songs, someone associated with the business brought it to my attention
that an artist by the name of Desire (real name Monique), with the help of
Michael Powell, Art & Rhythm’s – Larry Roc Campbell, Paul D. Allen, and
Larry Hatcher has received a 6 album deal with Warner Chapel label releasing
single.
9.
I heard personally and
have others confirm blatant similarities to my work and have been derived in
full and/or in part from my copies submitted to Paul D. Allen of M. Powell’s –
Vanguard Studio, Larry Hatcher of Hatcher Hits, Larry Roc Campbell of Art &
Rhythm and David R – Zomba, rep. I worked consistent with all parties listed
for a period of time. I have split sheet for “Baby Stay with me” and I heard
this finished by her.
10.
After notifying Zomba of this deal, I became
subjected to a multitude of tragedies, threats and intimidation.
11.
I have proof of mail tampering and mail delays
involving multiple carriers.
12.
Almost every song lyric and melodies were used
in part and in full. These songs were being played on the radio for years. I
will provide you with attachments to show copyrights.
13.
Zomba used publishing contract to steal lyrics
and melodies, then denied possession of works (even though material was mentioned
in publishing contract, the use of intimidation methods to coerce, and now
everyone is asking for an extreme amount of money for a retainer.
I understand that litigation cost but this should not be allowed to
be used as a scapegoat to avoid being held accountable. This is the
‘game’ that prevents resolution and allows these tyrants to continue their
actions.
14.
Unable to obtain legal representation, I then
attempted to file suit and although the amended complaint complied with F.C.R.
and was filed within courts guidelines. The judge dismissed before reviewing
factual evidence and ignored actual acts of violence and request for counsel to
be assigned. Basically, I have
documentation that clearly shows misconduct.
15.
During this ordeal, I maintained my copyrights
and always required signed documentation with any co-writers.
Within two months of
completion of my Registration of Copyrights for all of the songs provided,
suddenly the Dekalb County Probation submits a violation of probation report to
the Courts and they issued a warrant although I was under the supervision of
Michigan Probation and reporting as directed.
16.
The timing of
the execution of this warrant was in sync with everything that was going on
around my trials with seeking assistance from attorneys and all of the many
groups. I have a full list.
I had filed the copyrights
listed below and they were processed just months prior to the illegally
obtained warrant being issued.
PAU001720136 / January 7, 1993
“Collection I – Tiwanda.”
i.
Lovelace, Tiwanda, 18 SONG LYRICS &
MELODIES, 1 RAP, 2 Poems
PAU001721382 / March 4, 1993
“Collection II – Tiwanda.”
ii.
Lovelace, Ne Ne – 6 SONG LYRICS AND
MELODIES,
17.
Although per Inter-State Case Reports,
Lovelace was reporting to Michigan Probation AS DIRECTED by Courts, there were
no efforts made to contact and/or provide Notice of Hearing. Again,
there was no notice of hearing, revocation hearing, or opportunity to be heard
violating Due Process.
18.
Dekalb County police then used this warrant to
modify my 1st Offenders Act, changing status to conviction. Records reflect
multiple arrests, repeated offenses and provide misleading transmittal when 4
of 5 items are in reference to the same (original) First Offenders Act
offense.
Dates and charges are inaccurate and/or inaccurately presented.
19.
This warrant was signed May 19, 1993 –
expired July 31, 1997.
20.
In a letter used to take housing from the
Lovelace family, a police agency stated that the warrant was valid in 2005 and
that they were unable to execute due to budgetary constraints.
However, when I lived in Georgia 2003/2004 there were no efforts to
arrest?
21.
I believe the warrant was serving its purpose,
which was to inflict damage, hinder and harm. Prior to filing this case, I
submitted a notice and a request for correction to all parties involved since
it was preventing employment and shelter.
22.
I have
proof of misconduct which shows the courts switched Judges after plaintiff
filed for Summary Defendants ignored service of Summons.
23.
Courts ignored factual evidence and their own
system which proved defendants were served and not only didn’t respond but lied
when presenting statements to the courts.
I believe
that this system intended to hold me accountable for others actions and all
while acting under ‘color of law.’
I am
requesting legal assistance and/or representation, resolution and closure because
these entities are still using their power and positions to continue to
oppress.
I have documented proof of civil rights violations, mail tampering, court
tampering, violent acts, etc…I have had multiple major companies assist
with hindering and circumventing justice…
Since
this has snowballed, police were using illegally obtained warrant to modify
records, repeatedly take public housing and take employment. Georgia unjustly
threw my case out but shortly after a public defender was able to quash
warrant.
I am stuck in this free for all, caught up between multiple major entities and
trying to obtain my freedom from this chaos. I have been physically violated
and subjected to continued harassment.
I am
constantly mocked and harassed with messages that seem to try to confirm that I
will continue to be denied any assistance and that my civil rights will
continue to be violated.
Even now my record has not been updated or corrected properly because this case
was once again used to have me detained in handcuffs and refused entry into
Canada in 2013. Cleary, each entry is questionable.
I have other legal issues that have occurred of which I have been compiling;
such as, screen shot, documents, etc…that prove that I am being deliberately
deprived of my rights to liberty and life. I refuse to let them murder me
quietly behind the scenes. I have provided some of the documentation to
support my claims inside the titles and I hope that you will be able to assist
or refer this to someone who can.
When reviewing and
comparing the allegations of copyright infringements, civil rights violations,
etc… listed in Lovelace vs. Zomba AND Lovelace vs. Dekalb County Police it is
apparent that they work together in a combined effort to monopolize.
I say this because when
attempting to seek resolution you are faced with the following:
1.
Being denied
representation because of either a ‘conflict of interest’ issue due to the industry
being controlled.
2.
The fact that no entertainment attorney wants
to slug it out on your behalf for fear of preventing further or future business.
3.
Most attorneys require a very large retainer
that the artist usually doesn’t have. The lack of funds is usually because the
initial attorney had advised this artist that the contract with low figures
were standard in the business
encouraging acceptance.
4.
Under false
pretense, promises and manipulation, the publishing or record take your
materials/works. The publishing or
record company contract will then state that your contract says that we can
choose not to pursue your claims.
5.
You are faced with
major opposition from multiple sources. I have had multiple major companies
violate the Federal Trade Commission Fair Trade Act and Competition Laws. They
assisted with hindering my efforts in promoting and marketing my Titles by
creating fake sellers, re-routed links to other products, listed titles in the
wrong categories and listed incorrect prices. These other companies
circumventing justice when I was promoting my books that were exposing the
blatant tactics and methods subjected.
I no longer wonder
why people would easily associate the word ‘slave’ with the music business and
the prison system. The courts only seem to recognize the goals of the major
corporations.
I filed a lawsuit
against BMI, Zomba and Jive because of their lack of response to my request as
to how BMG, MCA, EMI, WEA, Polygram and Jive have released songs which
blatantly infringe upon my copyrights. I sent these lyrics to Zomba and
discussed these works in detail. Clearly, I have been denied my rights and this
definitely confirms a Monopoly situation.
I was very emotional at this time and although I lacked
the skill of a licensed attorney, my revised complaint complied completely with
Fed. Rules of Civil Procedure but the courts responded as if they did not
receive this revised copy.
I provided copies of copyrights. I provided
proof of certified mailings and other documents to support that I required
courts assistance. Although I requested assistance from the DOJ and the courts
due to violence. These acts of violence were ignored and these supporting
documents were referred to as miscellaneous papers.
On July 22, 1996 the
courts dismissed my case as frivolous preventing me an opportunity to have my
case heard. Judge Bernard A. Friedman cited that my complaint was bizarre,
irrational and indeed delusional. Judge Friedman continues to state that the
complaint is fanciful and delusional. I didn’t know that copyrights and
certified mail receipts were miscellaneous papers.
‘So, let me get this right…I imagined my house getting
shot up, double homicide, children assaulted and sister getting raped. The
judge could have assigned counsel or made…I did not imagine bullet holes.’ Ne
Ne
The definition of a Monopoly is complete control of the
entire supply of goods or of a service in a certain area or market, a large
company that has a monopoly, complete ownership or control of something. This
sums everything up in a single sentence. How else is this allowed to continue
with impunity?
It was acceptable to
those in positions when the decision was made to try to induce a suicidal
response until I chose to fight back. Suddenly, I became the one responsible
for the aftermath.
When I began to describe the entire event from my experience
and background as being victimized, suddenly I am supposed to be a snitch but it
is supposed to be okay for everyone to try to quietly murder me and I am not
supposed to fight back?
It is impossible and
let’s not forget that I was there at the initial onset, watching ALL assist in
obtaining my materials for the grand finale which was to be – my demise. Some would like for you to
believe that this is the work of one person but none of the possible scapegoats
had the power to orchestrate all of these coordinated events.
Although I can only
guess that some individual representing a specific group may have devised a
scheme to use this situation for profit. Even if this was the case, the only
reason why this would be possible is if both parties involved didn’t recognize
me as a person because it is a predominantly male dominated industry. There was
no acknowledgment or contact with me at all other than abuse.
It is possible that others may have negatively been affected
and they may have required representation but instead of addressing me so that
I could clarify that there are compounded situations, assisting in clearing up
the entire ‘clustermuck.’ I say this
because after being violated, I had hospital employee’s whisper to each other
within earshot, ‘that’s what he’s supposed to do…’ as they looked at me smiling
and smirking. They had to be implying that they were representing another
party.
There are too many
coincidences where some horrible act is attributed to a single individual for
this to be random. This is why I really want nothing to do with any one of
those producers from my past. If my material helps alleviate persecution for
anyone by clarifying some information, that is fine but I have received a large
amount of retaliation so just knowing that someone allowed my family and I to
become subjected as a scapegoat is unacceptable.
Instead of
communicating, these individuals decided to launch this campaign to possibly
cover for the geniuses who actually may have used their positions to manipulate
a payoff. I say this because this may be contributing to the immense pressure
for me to ‘let it go,’ or the reasons why it was so important for me to ‘just
die’ or the pressure to force an acceptance of a minuscule offer.
I conducted business forthright and with good intentions. I
completed split sheets on shared works and I required signed agreements for
those who chose to work on projects with me.
In addition, I was able to secure four or five exclusive writers under
my Production Company, Seven West. After providing Zomba with copies of my
writer’s contracts, I never heard from these writers again.
I discussed and submitted over 40 forty plus
musical lyrics and melodies. I didn’t give permission and I did
not sign my works away. I signed one co-publishing agreement for fifty percent
– ONLY. Still, I was forced to listen to my musical lyrics and melodies on the
radio for decades as they reached the top the charts but I received no
royalties, only threats.
With
the information provided here and in all three of my titles, there should not
be any doubt as to this clearly exposing corruption, conspiracies and the
monopolization of an industry.
Caught
in crossfire between major entities; the system and those who have been
negatively impacted – I am forced to live as a homeless outcast. In this case,
I have lived in many cities, moving from town to town looking for a home and a
support base but the people in positions have ensured that too many people have
been negatively affected.
There have been women and children assaulted and
violated; yet, NOONE has made an effort to bring an end to this entire ordeal
because each are fighting to justify their own actions. These continued
incidents are instigated in the hopes that this will ensure that no one will
support your fight for justice. Those in or associated with the music industry
have engaged in, encouraged and have allowed violent acts to incur solely due
to their pride, greed and hate. While
behind the scenes, the hurting of others continue so that they will hate you
too…this is not a game!
I know too many who
have been raised as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and they are now labeled and
receiving SSI-Social Security Benefits or suffering from some sort of
depression related to these practices. I disagree with raising children as
victims and not preparing them for the world outside of the Kingdom Hall of
Jehovah’s Witnesses.
There is no reason why
the police departments should be able to use their positions to deliberately
profit and cause harm to a relative of someone accused of killing a police
officer.
There are too many coincidences
and events surrounding one individual for EVERYONE to ignore FACTS! There
are too many coincidences where some horrible act is attributed to a single
individual for this to be random. The following points clearly demonstrates a
combined effort:
1.
In order for BMG,
MCA, PolyGram, EMI, the Sony Group or the WEA Group to have multiple blatant
similarities to songs listed in copyright infringements this has to be a
combined effort. This was a combined effort to circumvent justice to
monopolize.
2.
Mail tampering
amongst different carriers was definitely involved and proven with
documentation. Two separate carriers admitted in writing referencing being
unable to explain mail delivery delays. This was a combined effort to
circumvent justice to monopolize.
3.
Not one of these
individuals would be able to track and coordinate persecution and harassment.
This was a combined effort to circumvent justice to monopolize.
4.
Not one of these
individuals would be able to manipulate the violations of my Civil Rights AND
orchestrate the questionable behavior from both the States of Georgia and
Michigan Court’s. This was a combined effort to circumvent justice to
monopolize.
5.
No single person is
able to orchestrate the unprovoked modification of criminal background records.
Suddenly officials were ready to enforce their duties when choosing to violate
the Due Process Clause but unavailable to honor the duties involved in upholding
a citizens rights. This was a combined effort to circumvent justice.
There are a
lot of artist that befall convenient legal issues prior to releasing projects –
(Example: Tupac never had a criminal record prior to his release).
6.
The illegally obtained warrant was
issued conveniently during the days when I was suffering through retaliation
and my torturous days of being forced to listen to all my ‘gutted’ works on the
radio, etc… This required combined effort to induce hopelessness and suicide.
7.
The timing of the execution of this illegally
obtained warrant was in sync with everything that was going on around my trials
with seeking assistance from attorneys and all of the many groups. I had filed
the copyrights listed below and they were processed just months prior to the
illegally obtained warrant being issued.
8.
More importantly,
for decades I have been contacting governmental agencies, groups, organizations
and attorneys off and on since the beginning.
I was providing supporting documents which substantiate my claims and
CLEARLY raise questions regarding these compounded coincidences but I am
refused.
9.
The fact that these agency and groups that are
neglecting to acknowledge blatant wrongs; they’re inaction whether direct or
indirect, inadvertently supports this injustice. Promoting deprivation of
rights when an obvious injustice is ignored.
10. When any other corporation is found to be in violation of
someone’s rights or involved in any unethical behavior, they are held liable.
How is it that an industry can deprive rights and deny compensation from their
employees (artist/producers) without being held accountable for decades?
These major record labels BMG, MCA, PolyGram, EMI, the
Sony Group or the WEA Group are listed in the contract and in the casting
sheets. They are sent out to their roster of writers in order to shop with these
multiple label’s Artist. After placement of ‘gutted’ works, they decide who
they choose to pay or who not to.
These ‘entities’
mentioned in defendant’s response were on Zomba’s casting list and in contract
showing that not only did Zomba work with them to place songs; shortly after
contract their name changed to Zomba/BMG.
I have been physically
violated three times across multiple states (that I am certain of) since I have
been an adult because of my situation. The odds that one person or even one
family could face multiple sexual assaults across multiple states, these are
not coincidences.
Although I have
compiled and organized supporting documentation, I have repeatedly been refused
legal assistance and I have had Court officials blatantly deny rights.
When I was younger, I
was routinely pressured to think that prostitution was my only option – I
refused.
Everything was
repeatedly and deliberately taken from me purposely for entertainment purposes
– while I suffered through. Even while attempting to assimilate into society, I
was constantly bombarded by those associated with the industry. I have had
those who accept this enslavement find ways justify ALL my violations as the
norm or those with the mentality that we’re not supposed to have rights because
we are black so we ‘hustle.’
I hustled and created
multiple new products but because ‘seeds’ were planted against me, labeling me
– I don’t have support. Others are grouped up to control justice and they
decide which ‘fat cats’ claim ownership of the victim…calculating just how
much they can profit and who gets the pleasure of further violating the victim.
In addition, I have
been subject to continued persecution and harassment, loss of quality of life,
repeated loss of employment and repeated homelessness.
I have documented evidence confirming that a modern day
enslavement of human beings still exist in 2014. Proof where women and children
are deliberated harmed and denied justice.
Proof of judicial misconduct, civil rights violations,
breach of contract, questionable loss of life, etc…I have been treated like a
traitor because I don’t want to be a slave and I won’t pretend that it is okay
to steal lives and murder.
You say that my books
are a waste of time but the information that is inside my books is what I would
have liked for someone to have shared with me. It would have saved my life and
gave me what I needed in order to survive this system without having to
alienate myself in this fight for justice. I’m not Anti-America! I am
Pro-Rights, Pro-Prevention. Pro-Justice.
So when you reference
my work in a derogatory way by saying ‘that Book’ you disrespect me and my
plight to be free. I refused to be anyone’s property now or when I was younger.
I don’t respect a system that accepts modern slavery. I certainly don’t even
acknowledge bullies and I REFUSE TO LET GO!
I have no place in your
society so THESE BOOKS are going to speak for me until one side or the other
decides to man up and physically do what ‘all’ have been quietly doing for
decades or when it is decided to provide proper resolution.
I will continue to
compile further evidence showing deliberate deprivation of rights until I have
rights! I learned firsthand how it feels to be put on display so I am certain
that THEY won’t like it either!
This was planned and
even when their plans went bad; this could have easily been fixed. But No,
‘they’ had to compile the situation by adding some violence, misinformation,
and brutalization. Then this whole disgrace of a mess just got out of control.
Then you violated my civil rights to continue this charade.
At least they were able
to choose. If someone had asked then
maybe I could have warned them that I was no fun. Part of the reasons why I
kept it moving in most cases was that I knew in each case what would work for
me.
By allowing this type
of injustice to be so widespread, this leads to widespread hopelessness, loss
of faith in this system, more drug users, more crime and a whole lot of
victims. Just seeing people who would never do some of these heinous acts
suddenly change and view these acts as acceptable is numbing.
It saddened my spirit
to see people willing to sacrifice loved ones for whatever short-lived pleasure
or justification. It’s like confirming that your civil rights can be taken away
at a whim. Anyone can be violated, especially your poor and unloved
individuals. If someone gives a damn, make sure a picture is painted to vilify,
victimize, and discredit. Place this individual in situations so that we can
continue to dehumanize without explanations. Lock them up, set them up, and get
rid of them for having the gall to say something.
What I find to be really deplorable is that in
addition to having to fight those is power and positions, there are individuals
who will combined their efforts to also apply social pressure to invoke a form
of social exile. These people take pleasure in exacting revenge in the name of
others that have pointed blame at you. By applying pressure and added stress,
they encourage you to act out against this modern day enslavement in the hopes
that you will be further persecuted and alienated.
When people apply pressure
on an individual for their selfish and twisted purposes they only ensure their
own demise. They may feel exonerated in believing that their actions has led to
some kind of twisted justice because they are not happy if others advance. The
truth is that to respond is human and people simply react to their situations
so for some to rejoice at the thoughts of someone else in pain is a reflection
of themselves.
I write my books so that I can reach both those
who are in need of this information and those who are in a position to address
the blatant atrocities properly.
Somewhere there is a Jehovah’s Witness or some
other group who will become subjected to the same tactics and methods. I want
them to be able to make an informed decision to protect themselves against the
traps or at least recognize the need to tailor their contract and request a
sufficient amount of advance to protect themselves after the games begin
because most entertainment attorneys will not risk future business by educating
you once you have been selected or branded as ‘the Mark.’
I plan to continue to write my books and blogs
until it is clear that this has been a deliberate attempt to induce suicidal
actions, to violate my civil and human rights, to subject me to continued
persecution in order to cause my surrender or demise. With the information
provided here and in all three of my titles, there should not be any doubt as
to this clearly exposing corruption, conspiracies and the monopolization of an
industry.
Caught in crossfire between major entities; the
system and those who have been negatively impacted – I am forced to live as a
homeless outcast. In this case, I have lived in many cities, moving from town
to town looking for a home and a support base but the people in positions have
ensured that too many people have been negatively affected.
There have been women and children assaulted and
violated; yet, NO ONE has made an effort to bring an end to this entire ordeal
because each are fighting to justify their own actions. Again, these continued
incidents are instigated in the hopes that this will ensure that no one will
support your fight for justice.
Those in or associated with the music industry
have engaged in, encouraged and have allowed violent acts to incur solely due
to their pride, greed and hate. While
behind the scenes, the hurting of others continue so that they will hate you
too…this is not a game! I know too many who have been raised as one of
Jehovah’s Witnesses and they are now labeled and receiving SSI-Social Security
Benefits or suffering from some sort of depression related to these practices.
I disagree with raising children as victims and not preparing them for the
world outside of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
There is no reason why
the police departments should be able to use their positions to deliberately
profit and cause harm to a relative of someone accused of killing a police
officer. There are too many coincidences and events surrounding one individual
for EVERYONE to ignore FACTS!
During this ordeal there have been multiple references to Love
or an attempt to play some sort of ‘heartbreak hotel’ game. I know that it is
not uncommon for music to remind you of a person; especially, if you wrote
lyrics for or with that person. Miraculously, I was supposed to listen to some
music and fall in love, allowing some man with whom I have no connection to or
any communication with for decades… to take control of my situation?
If someone cared, they should have made it clear but after being
violated, harassed and ostracized for decades…it is too late!
Every time that I think of either of them, I am reminded of how
many people have used their names when inflicting harm, mocking and violating.
True or not, it is clear that I now associate the violation of women and
children with both major entities. Playing a song to induce feelings and
emotions without an individual having had a previous relationship and expecting
results is foolish. That kind of thinking is not realistic and if you believe
otherwise than you may want to seek professional help. This was not done out of
love and it’s not about one man’s actions, this was a joint effort!
I thought Copyright Laws were supposed to protect
writers! I have been copyrighting my lyrics and melodies since 1991. Even
with Copyrights, proof of submission, phone records proving works were
discussed and blatant similarities to works released on major labels – I was
denied representation. Even with Lawsuit filed in accordance with Federal Rules on
Civil procedures, I was not given an opportunity to address my claims in court!
With all that was mentioned, courts ignored
actual events of violence, denied that stress can attribute to and cause
physical ailments.
I didn’t imagine bullet holes,
family members assaulted, friend and house shot up, etc…
There are no
statutes of limitations on civil rights violations; especially, with all of the
tactics and methods used to circumvent justice.
On November 11,
1994, due to the inability to contact Richard Blackstone – Zomba, rep over the
phone regarding remaining balance for contract; my husband (at that time) and I
had decided that we would go to New York to speak with Blackstone – Zomba, rep
in person. Upon our arrival, we did not receive the welcome we were expecting
and although we received check, Blackstone – Zomba, rep was unavailable for
both days to speak with us.
Once we returned to
Michigan, we still received phone calls and correspondents that suggested that
they were still interested in working with me and arranged for me to interact
and work with their producers and other writers. I was not ready to accept the possibility of
any wrong doing. They encouraged more material by supplying music tracks so I
would return and submit my lyrics/melodies.
November 1994 Copies of Express Mail label for songs sent
to Kymberlee Thornton – Zomba:

I sent materials and
correspondents to Kimberlee Thornton, Zomba representative. I submitted
multiple works that included; lyrics, melodies, and hooks that were discussed
in detail over the phone. After many phone calls that expressed satisfaction
with works; suddenly, all the positive words of encouragement and then the
games really began when compliments turned to insults.
This was the first of two
Lawsuit filings submitted to courts on June 24, 1996
The Courts completely ignored everything that
was provided in this initial case filed combined with Initial
Complaint filed on May 20, 1996 below!
My revised complaint complied completely with
Fed. Rules of Civil Procedure but the courts ignored..
Case was dismissed as frivolous prior to being heard.
Case was dismissed abruptly and prior to Defendants
Answer that was filed afterward.
Court
dismissed request and ignored violent acts…
Court ignored my request in accordance
Federal Rules of Civil procedure, Rule 16 (a)(b)(c); Also under U.S.C., Title
15 28,19,49; Under 28 U.S.C, 1915(d) – Plaintiff request counsel be
assigned…preventing protraction due to lack of management.
‘It is easier to ignore
facts and allow corruption to continue by claiming that my complaint was
bizarre, irrational and indeed delusional but I didn’t imagine bullet holes,
family members assaulted, friend and house shot up, my songs ‘gutted’ and
played on the radio…
June 24, 1996, I provided court with
2nd/Revised Complaint that was ‘set forth in short, plain statements’ as
required by law. Clearly explained Each document listed as Exhibits-(Below)
Note: Clearly explained
Each document listed as Exhibits
Explanation of Exhibits explains in detail
exactly how these songs were placed and used in
Copyright Infringements.
Explanation of Exhibits explains in detail
exactly how these songs were placed and used in

Both; The Revised
Complaint and the Letter of explanation ‘set forth in numbered, short, plain
statements that clearly state my argument, basis for claim, legal theories,
supporting documents listed as exhibits, provided jurisdiction and demand for
judgment as required by Fed. Rules on Civil rules of law.
Each form presented to
courts was sent to Defendants
NOTE: ZOMBA
NEVER OBTAINED COPYRIGHT FOR ANY OF MY SONGS; EXCEPT FOR THE ONE THAT INITIATED
THE CONTRACT…
With all of this and supporting documentation,
my case was never heard. The judge dismissed and declared this case Frivolous …ignoring
everything presented.
Defendants answered but courts ignored
Defendants Under false pretense, sign contract
agreeing to administer, represent
you and then
manipulate by providing music and producers
and then use the
publishing or recording
contract to take your materials/works.
The publishing or record company contract
will
then state that your contract says that we
can choose not to pursue your
claims.
(Basically, they can do what they want).
In addition to being ethically and morally
wrong for attorneys to operate like this but this has to be considered a
Conspiracy to Commit Fraud; yet, for decades they operate with impunity. By not
recognizing and acknowledging Women (especially African American Women), they
are discriminating.
So, let me get this right…I imagined my house getting
shot up, double homicide, children assaulted and sister getting raped and
dropped off at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The judge could have
assigned counsel or made another decision. Talk about getting assaulted, I felt
violated all over again.

These songs were listed in the publishing contract, listed
in notice of copyright infringements, court docs, and were played on the radio
by major artist signed to BMG, EMI; throughout the years starting after Zomba
music publishing contract.
Section (f) of Zomba Co-Publishing Agreement list BMG, MCA,
Polygram, EMI, the Sony group or the WEA group and Jive as major record
companies as distributors. Zomba works with all of them.
Although BMG, MCA, PolyGram, EMI, the Sony Group or the WEA
Group are listed in the contract and in the casting sheets sent out to multiple
labels.
These ‘entities’ mentioned in defendant’s response were on
Zomba’s casting list and in contract showing that Zomba worked with them to
place songs. The complaint is far from ‘Vague and ambiguos’..
Zomba says that they didn’t have the songs and obviously not
the page of the contract that shows listed songs…BUT THEY HAD THE PARTS THEY
NEED- HANDY.
You can’t make this stuff up…Proof – It
really happened:
Envelopes marked ‘COMICS’ received from Zomba after initial
allegations of copyright infringements!
NOTE: DIFFERENT DATES….

Zomba’s Initial Response to allegations
inside the envelopes above:
Zomba’s contract included songs that were used, yet, they denied having. They should have copyrighted them when they executed contract…I DID!
Zomba’s Contract List Songs
They Later Deny having copies
Note: Brownstone is listed as looking for work on Zomba’s
casting sheet. Their song, “If You Love Me” was the first song using
my lyrics and melodies mentioned in Lawsuit.
Zomba’s contract included songs that were
used, yet, they denied having.
Envelopes
received from Zomba before initial allegations of
copyright infringements!
Prior to Zomba’s denial, everyone was very professional and
polite just long enough to manipulate the submission of music lyrics and
melodies. They wanted me to sign a management contract with one of their
producers that I met over the phone – I declined. Wouldn’t you?
Note: I
filed a lawsuit which provided these companies names (to the courts and other
entertainment attorney’s) for using my works; which, included lyrics and
melodies. All the while they were one in the same, working together.

Handwritten Letter sent to Zomba – Re-typed:
Zomba
137-139 W. 25th
Street
New York, NY 10001
Attn: R. B – Zomba,
rep,
It has been brought
to my attention that an artist by the name of Desire (real name Monique), with
the help of Michael Powell, Art & Rhythm’s – Larry Roc Campbell, Paul D.
Allen, and Larry Hatcher has received a 6 album deal with Warner Chapel label
releasing single in May 1995.
{Now how would I have a clue if someone
didn’t tell me and give me specific’s. This is the same public that runs around
breaking their necks to hurt. I was definitely out of the loop but the source
seemed reliable and I did supply a lot of material to all parties included.}
I bring this to your
attention because I heard personally and have others confirm blatant
similarities to my work and have been derived in full and/or in part from my
copies submitted to Paul D. Allen. of M. Powell’s – Vanguard Studio, Larry
Hatcher of Hatcher Hits, Larry Roc Campbell of Art & Rhythm and David R –
Zomba, rep .I worked consistent with all parties listed for a period of time. I
have split sheet for “Baby Stay With Me” and I heard this finished by her.
I would like for
this situation to be taken seriously. In addition, I would like a copy of a
detailed Royalty statement for Hi Five’s song, “What can I say to you to
justify my love” and a copy of (signed) split sheet for my records.
As a whole, they
have collected 30 or more songs from me and they are all on this same project.
Larry Roc Campbell
laughed and told me that he received money when I signed with Zomba. How is
this possible?
I certainly hope
that you will handle my administration of copies of materials that were sent to
David R – Zomba, rep; Cherry, Drew D – Zomba, rep, and Kymberlee Thornton –
Zomba, rep.
Paul D.
Allen received a copy and signed split sheets with me. I also have copyrights
for the materials:
1.
Why
can’t I?
2.
Baby
stay with me
3.
Is the
sex still good
4.
Casual
Love
5.
With
your love
Larry Hatcher
received more than 14 songs. Larry Roc Campbell received more than 20 songs.
Of course, Zomba
received copies of all copy-written materials, see list enclosed.

HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS, ACROSS MULTIPLE GROUPS AND LABELS HAVE
ENSUED!

List of Zomba’s Roster of Writers
Brief Summary of Events prior to Zomba/Jive Contract
more history below:
In addition to constantly reminding me that Roc- Art
& Rhythm was No. 2, Zomba rep. attempted to have me sign under one of their
writer’s or producer’s. My name was supposed to be on this list but it
wasn’t.
Zomba reps introduced me to some of their other
producers over the phone and actually encouraged me to sign with them. Of
course, I had no intentions on being shelved and besides that – I didn’t know
them.
Would you have signed with someone that you only
contacted over the phone and met through Zomba?
This is a summary of the management contract that was
offered…

Summary of How I Started Writing w/ Detroit Producers
The music industry has some complex rules
regarding how things are done with regards to how money is distributed. If you
work for any particular label or company, your loyalties are supposed to lie
with that company. Back then the
labels were structured into five major labels. Even though people are shuffled
amongst the different companies, again, their loyalties were supposed to remain
unscathed.
When I had my first encounter with writing
lyrics, I was living in my home town – Detroit, Michigan. I wrote for Lee
Marcus and Jake Salazar. Lee was connected with the police department. That was
definitely my song lyrics and melody used on that sitcom prior to Zomba contract.
I had refused to sign with other production
companies because either they offered no money or they didn’t seem to have my
best interest in mind. I was encouraged by Detroit attorneys to sign with
Zomba. Then after painstaking months of hard work and submitting multiple
lyrics and melodies, I was subjected to harassment. I stepped up for credit and
monies for my works and I kept pushing; while Detroit groups were trying to
sabotage.
Remember, Lee told me of that story of the
girl who was robbed of her lyrical credits then forced to commit suicide. In
addition, he was associated to the police who never had any good intentions for
me because of family’s history.
So here I am, all by myself, stuck listening
to all my works on the radio, fighting for what should be mine. Clueless to
what was going on around me.
Lee’s group wasn’t
happy, Larry was in the Hi-Five’s video of the song that was used to present
the contract but he didn’t look happy. As I look back the plan was for Lee’s
group to use me for lyrics, make money and then drive me mad. Jake Salazar was
a co-founder of the Tempo Music Group. A coalition of independent record
companies owned by veteran industry professionals and celebrities such as Anita
Baker/Michael Powell, Sylvia Moy, Martha Reeves, Isaiah Thomas,
Thomas Hearns, John Salley, Lee Marcus, and Leonard Jones among
other prominent business colleagues. They all knew each other and they all were
influential in Detroit.
Getting back to the rules…It turns out that
some of the people that I had worked with locally were not supposed to or were
in conflict with the plans. It felt like a game was being played within a game
and not all the higher ups were in the know. I am sure that this type of thing
is not uncommon but this had some extra mess added.
I say this because someone got spanked hard
for breaking rules. I was led to believe that members in Powell’s group was
snaking and taking works. I was told that my information led to this
conclusion. I only provided my record(s) of contacts and records showed more
than one was involved. I can only imagine all the fighting that was going on
behind the scenes; from the peoples mistreatment of me I could only assume the
worst. Apparently, I was blamed for the repercussions he faced; there was some
talk of camp/snakes.

Complaint Filed w/ MI – Attorney Grievance
Commission –
Hertz has been in
the entertainment business for years, he stated that in previous dealing with
Zomba/Jive – they did not look out for their writers. I learned this in the
last meeting with him.
He was familiar with
how they conduct business and neglected to be honest in the beginning but when
I spoke to him prior to signing the contract he certainly did not advise me
accordingly. He did not like the fact that I disagreed with the last minute
change from contingency to a large retainer fee for a song already placed and
pressed through a major label.
On March 28, 1995, I
was referred to Alexander Kuhne – Attorney by Howard Hertz. I spoke with Kuhne
– Attorney on Thursday, March 30, 1995. I thought that everything was fine. He
said he spoke with Hertz on his cellular and ‘It’s Big”, so come by. I met with
Kuhne – Attorney 3 times and the only time he made himself available was when
he was collecting documents and tapes. Why did he ask specifically for
originals? He laughed and said that my materials had been gutted and that this
happens all the time.
At first he agreed
to represent, then after collecting information and tapes he made a complete
turn. My paperwork is kept pretty good. If you can’t trust lawyers then who can
you trust?
Kuhne – Attorney
attempted to change dates and his letter contradicts what he said to my face. I
have witnesses and Hertz cellular phone records should coincide with my
statements. Why did he try to deny what dates we met in his response? I would
have never given him so much time or given him originals. Some of those
originals are now missing but I have copies.
Due to the fact that
I didn’t accept Hertz’s advice, by accepting that bogus royalty statement as
legitimate. I believe that Hertz wanted to know what facts I had to support my
accusations.
Hertz has been in
the entertainment business for years, he stated that in previous dealing with
Zomba/Jive – they did not look out for their writers. I learned this in the
last meeting with him.

change from contingency to a large retainer fee for a song already placed and
pressed through a major label.
I can supply other
documentation to the ones previously sent to show damages.
On February 23,
1996, I filed a grievance against Alexander Kuhne – Attorney with the Attorney
Grievance Commission.
During this entire
process the Attorney Grievance Commission never asked about who it was that
these major entertainment attorney’s represented.
They never addressed
whether or not there was a ‘Conflict of Interest’ involved.
They never addressed
why an experienced attorney in the music industry would encourage signing a
standard contract with low figures when he knows that most attorneys’ will
require a large retainer if deal sours. Below is Kuhne’s response.
I also kept up the
good fight…regardless of their decision.
Attorney Alexander
Kuhne’s response to Grievance Commission
Kuhne admitted that I gave him
correspondence, envelopes, copyright reports and cassette
tapes… He denied asking for originals but
clearly acknowledges above, ‘Lovelace left me with her original information…’
The same information included in the court case and in
this book.
Kuhne stated, ‘I
do not believe that I represented at that time anyone involved…’ This
doesn’t instill confidence or sound convincing, either you did or didn’t. As an
attorney, you know your clients to avoid conflict of interest.
He denied asking for originals but Kuhne clearly
acknowledges docs as originals. I wasn’t bothersome when he took materials.
I only gave him those correspondence and copyrights
because I was lead to believe he would assist- I didn’t use words like
‘gutted.’ That was music industry jargon I got from them.
If he felt that my accusations were groundless, why
take originals, 14 days and then refer me to a Detroit lawyer agency…Kuhne and/or Hertz represented someone
involved in music…Letter from Kuhne dated April 12, 1995, (a year
earlier)
Kuhne definitely had originals longer than six
days…Even though they admittedly worked in the Entertainment field; Kuhne &
Hertz never said who they represented out of Michigan or otherwise…Attorney
Grievance Commission never asked.
On August 27, 1996, The Attorney
Grievance Commission responded:
They never addressed whether or not there was a
‘Conflict of Interest’ involved. They never addressed why an experienced
attorney in the music industry would encourage signing a standard contract with
low figures when he knows that most attorneys’ will require a large retainer if
deal sours.

Zomba’s Idea of
Resolution and Response
I could not believe this came literally
the day before I decided to file my lawsuit against Zomba…
This letter is dated within days of mail tampering/unexplainable mail
delay-convenient? After some 40+ song lyrics and melodies, ‘dissatisfaction’ is
an understatement…
Zomba’s Answer to Allegations
This was their response to my
allegations and complaints regarding stolen works. Of course, I didn’t sign this
mess…$1000.00???
This was exactly two months before I
filed the lawsuit against them in Michigan District court…convenient timing-it
was as if they knew some how. In order to block mail you would have to know
when it’s sent. (See next page)
This was a joke and I was completely
insulted and NO, I didn’t sign…
Initial Request for D.O.J. Assistance
DOJ Ignored Coincidental Violent Acts, Docs and Exhibits
DOJ Antitrust Division Letter Returning Exhibits
This letter is implying that I requested closure but previous letter ignored everything; including multiple violent acts…
Clearly, this is NOT just an issue of Breach of Contract!
DOJ – Chose to take No Action
DOJ Advised Materials Were Lost
Michigan Courts Unjustified Dismissal
My Objection to Order of Dismissal
In my case, I have lived in many cities and have moved from town to town looking for a home and a support base but these people in positions have ensured that too many people have been negatively affected.
After abolitionist began to bring attention to the many forms of slavery, the system has evolved to portray situations in an effort to disguise the atrocities. The use of misdirection, distractions and misinformation is initiated so that this new form of enslavement can continue.
These continued incidents are instigated in the hopes that this will ensure that no one will support your fight for justice.
Those in or associated with the music industry have engaged in, encouraged and have allowed violent acts to incur solely due to their pride, greed and hate. While behind the scenes, the hurting of others continue so that they will hate you too…this is not a game!
This is NOT just an issue of Breach of Contract…DOJ
Governmental,
Local Agencies and Groups contacted
It is not important to me the
‘who’ however, it is very important to explain that I have made every effort to
try to correct this injustice. Understanding the complexity of this world and
its court system, I reached out to many for assistance by providing supporting
documentation and requested intervention from the beginning.

**This is one long list that consist of very prominent
attorney’s, groups and organizations.
I can understand why it is so important for this information to remain
hidden. If this was to be released, it would reflect poorly on each entity. It
is probably because these are the same entities that are supposed to uphold and
protect the rights of the people; yet, they were unwilling to enforce the laws.
Below are the original filings for Lovelace
vs. Zomba
Summary Regarding Warrant
Lovelace is addressing the finding and issuance of a warrant for
probation violation due to non-payment of restitution. The active (9) nine year
old warrant was issued without notice of hearing or just cause when Georgia
Probation Officer produced misleading information to courts in reference to
probationer (Lovelace).
Georgia Probation officer presented a violation report to a
judge (allegedly-Snead) who had not previously ruled on this case. Georgia
Probation officer, with full knowledge that this case had been to Michigan
Probation office for supervision of all aspects of sentencing order and with
full knowledge that Lovelace was reporting in Michigan, as directed; yet,
manipulated the system to satisfy a personal grudge.
Even after Michigan Probation office returned the Inter-State
Case Report dated August 2, 1993 – (3) three months after warrant was issued),
stating that Lovelace was reporting as directed, the warrant was never recalled
and no attempt to serve notice of hearing. Lovelace is seeking to have this
warrant recalled/quashed.
Lovelace is addressing her First Offender’s Act which was
changed to conviction without hearing or notice of hearing or revocation
proceedings. Lovelace seeks to have this conviction declared void and/or record
expunged which would have the effect of removing the probation violation status
and would begin to relieve her of some of the collateral consequences flowing
from this status.
This constitutes a concrete injury, especially since this would
actually be her first and only offense being that she was given the First
Offender’s Act. Lovelace has suffered from deprivation of rights, loss of
liberty by being forced to resign repeatedly from gainful employment, having
employers retract employment offers and by having employment opportunities
limited.
Lovelace is also addressing the obviously questionable,
inaccurate information provided and maintained on her C.J.I.S. and G.C.I.C. –
criminal background Reports. Records reflect multiple arrests, repeated
offenses, provides misleading transmittals; when 4 of 5 items listed are in reference
to same original First Offender Act offense. Dates and charges are
inaccurate and/or inaccurately presented in violation of Georgia Code 16-9-93 –
Misleading Transmittals and Guidelines for C.J.I.S. System.
Lovelace began to take steps to correct and challenge the
accuracy of her background report pursuant Title 28, C.F.R. Section 16.34 and
by contacting all governmental agencies involved with providing the challenged
information and the issuance of the warrant.
Lovelace seeks damages under 42 U.S.C – 1982 upon establishing
use of wrong procedures and reaching wrong results. Lovelace seeks damages for
violations of Due Process Clause. Lovelace seeks damages for misleading
transmittals. Also seeks damages for lost wages, mental, emotional distress and
other concrete injuries.
The Complaint was filed against Dekalb County Police on March
11, 2003.
PACER clearly shows that the Judge ordered the Clerk’s Office to
provide me with docs to complete and return to court in order that Clerks could
serve Defendants. Pacer shows that I completed ALL docs (which included
service, summons and complaint). Defendants based their defense on blaming
plaintiff, his own staff and hiding behind laws.
Although; in fact, each party was served and I had submitted proof
of letters sent prior to filing suit which notified Dekalb police, Judge and
District Attorney’s regarding error and lack of notice of hearing. I submitted
to each; copies of Probation Report proving plaintiff was reporting which
supported that no attempt to locate was made, transcript of trial and
sentencing, Conditions of Probation and Request for Correction.
All attempts to resolve the matter of incorrect maintenance of
criminal history, violations of rights to Notice of Hearing for Probation Revocation
and modification of records were ignored demonstrating ‘deliberate
indifference.’
Each violation were committed by the Defendants while acting
‘under color of law.’ Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of
this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement
officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and
others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime
be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap,
familial status or national origin of the victim.
Due to the sudden and unwarranted switching of judges, denying
Notice of Service of Summons and directing the focus away from the pertinent
facts which provided factual basis for legal claims – Justice was circumvented.
Copy of Initial Warrant for Arrest
That small print on the warrant says:
“The undersigned
officer hereby certifies that a thorough and diligent search for the
probationer listed in this warrant and affidavit has been made at but not
limited to places of abode, known places of frequencies, and others and that
his or her whereabouts are
unknown and cannot be located…”
Although per Inter-State Case Reports, Lovelace was reporting to Michigan Probation AS DIRECTED by Courts, there were no efforts were made to contact and/or provide Notice of Hearing.
This is
an outright lie because Michigan’s Inter-state Probation report clearly states
that Lovelace was reporting. Lovelace’s address and contact information was on
file. This warrant was signed May 19, 1993 expired July 31, 1997.
There was no attempt to contact and there was
never
any attempt to execute the warrant.
This warrant was issued May 19, 1993,
Lovelace was reporting as directed to Michigan Probation and continued
reporting for (3) three months afterwards (unaware of any warrants). Reporting
until advised that she didn’t have to report by her Michigan Probation officer.
Lovelace was advised by authorities
that the warrant itself was enough justification in changing her First Offender
Act sentence to a Conviction.
Again, there was no notice of hearing,
revocation hearing, or opportunity to be heard. Refer to Exhibit 3-C.J.I.S.
background investigation report shows changes made. C.J.I.S. contains
inaccurate information in reference to the same case. Dates and charges are
incorrect and misleading when it implies repeated offenses. The same case was
listed as multiple, repeated offenses, (clearly a violation of Georgia Code
16-9-1993 – Misleading Transmittals).
The Due Process Clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment specifies proper procedures to adequately protect the
probationer against revocation of probation in a constitutionally unfair
manner. Pp. 610-614.
Procedures include service of written
notice to the probation violations, disclosure of evidence against him or her,
and opportunity to be heard in person and to present documentary evidence, the
right to cross-examine witnesses, a written statement by the fact-finder as to
the evidence relied on and reasons for
revoking probation , and the right to assistance of counsel.
In fact, Lovelace was forced to resign
from gainful employment, which she attributed to the employer’s unfamiliarity
with the First Offender’s Act but Lovelace discovered years later of the
inaccuracies and invalid information on her background reports.
Lovelace began to take steps to correct
and challenge the accuracy of her background report pursuant Title 28, C.F.R.
Section 16.34 and by contacting all governmental agencies involved with
providing the challenged information and the issuance of the warrant.
C.J. I.S. shows that Lovelace’s First
Offender Act was changed to conviction, despite the fact that no sentence
should be modified without prior notification to all parties and hearings on
the matter. No contact was made and no
notice served.
A probation
violation must therefore be such as to make it logical for the State to
conclude that its initial decision to choose probation under the First
Offender’s Act should not be abandoned.
Warrant Used to Take Public Housing in Nevada
Why did this police agency state that the warrants were valid in 2005 but unable to execute due to budgetary constraints but when I lived in Georgia 2003/2004 there were no efforts to arrest? I believe the warrant was serving its purpose, to inflict damage, hinder and harm.
Dekalb County Police Faxed Warrant to Housing Authority
I didn’t expand on the fact that a
warrant was issued conveniently during the days when I was suffering through
retaliation and my torturous days of being forced to listen to all my ‘gutted’ works
on the radio, etc…
The timing of the execution of this
warrant was in sync with everything that was going on around my trials with
seeking assistance from attorneys and all of the many groups. I had filed the
copyrights listed below and they were processed just months prior to the
illegally obtained warrant being issued.

In all this time, I was never given an opportunity to be heard in court and as usually all my factual documentation was ignored.
Below are the filings for Lovelace vs. Dekalb
County Police Dept.
Lovelace vs. Dekalb County Police
I filed another case in the State of Georgia regarding the
modification of my criminal background records.
Honorable Judge Linda Warren Hunter ordered that probation
case was to be transferred to Michigan Probation office, clearly allocating
supervision of all aspects of sentence. (Refer to Exhibit 1-Georgia V.
Lovelace.)
Lovelace was
reporting as directed to Michigan Probation office for the case mentioned
above.
Meanwhile; without any notice of hearing as dictated in
sentencing order, a Dekalb, GA probation officer presented another Judge
(Snead) with a request for a warrant for probation violation due to non-payment
of restitution.
This warrant was issued May 19, 1993, Lovelace was reporting
as directed to Michigan Probation and continued reporting for (3) three months
afterwards (unaware of any warrants). Reporting until advised that she didn’t
have to report by her Michigan Probation officer.
Lovelace was advised by authorities that the warrant itself
was enough justification in changing her First Offender Act sentence to a
Conviction.
Again, there was no notice of hearing, revocation hearing,
or opportunity to be heard. Refer to Exhibit 3-C.J.I.S. background
investigation report shows changes made. C.J.I.S. contains inaccurate
information in reference to the same case. Dates and charges are incorrect and
misleading when it implies repeated offenses. The same case was listed as
multiple, repeated offenses, (clearly a violation of Georgia Code 16-9-1993 –
Misleading Transmittals).
The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment specifies
proper procedures to adequately protect the probationer against revocation of
probation in a constitutionally unfair manner. Pp. 610-614.
Procedures include service of written notice to the
probation violations, disclosure of evidence against him or her, and
opportunity to be heard in person and to present documentary evidence, the
right to cross-examine witnesses, a written statement by the fact-finder as to

revoking probation , and the right to assistance of counsel.
In fact, Lovelace was forced to resign from gainful
employment, which she attributed to the employer’s unfamiliarity with the First
Offender’s Act but Lovelace discovered years later of the inaccuracies and
invalid information on her background reports.
Lovelace began to take steps to correct and challenge the

by contacting all governmental agencies involved with providing the challenged
information and the issuance of the warrant.

violations of Due Process Clause. Lovelace seeks damages for misleading
transmittals. Also seeks damages for lost wages, mental, emotional distress and
other concrete injuries.
The Complaint was filed against Dekalb County Police on
March 11, 2003.
PACER clearly shows that the Judge ordered the Clerk’s
Office to provide me with docs to complete and return to court in order that
Clerks could serve Defendants. Pacer shows that I completed ALL docs (which
included service, summons and complaint). Defendants based their defense on
blaming plaintiff, his own staff and hiding behind laws.
Although; in fact, each party was served and I had submitted
proof of letters sent prior to filing suit which notified Dekalb police, Judge
and District Attorney’s regarding error and lack of notice of hearing. I
submitted to each; copies of Probation Report proving plaintiff was reporting
which supported that no attempt to locate was made, transcript of trial and
sentencing, Conditions of Probation and Request for Correction.
All attempts to resolve the matter of incorrect maintenance
of criminal history, violations of rights to Notice of Hearing for Probation
Revocation and modification of records were ignored demonstrating ‘deliberate
indifference.’
Each violation were committed by the Defendants while acting
‘under color of law.’ Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of
this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement
officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and
others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime
be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial
status or national origin of the victim.
Due to the sudden and unwarranted switching of judges,
denying Notice of Service of Summons and directing the focus away from the
pertinent facts which provided factual basis for legal claims – Justice was circumvented.
See below that the courts tracking system, Pacer confirms
foul play as displayed in INVISIBLE: Living in America without Rights 2013.
Per
Pacer (court records):
Justice was not served…but the Defendants were – per
PACER.GOV!
If I had missed a court deadline for my response, the courts
would have made ruling against me. Instead, the courts ignored Pacer court
records and my Request for Entry of Default; allowing the injustice to
continue.
The Judges did not address that problem with multiple
request for correction regarding the Clerk’s Office interfering with filings
due to:
1. Clerk EXCLUDING A DEFENDANT that was clearly
listed on Original Complaint.
2. Clerk did not provide the Judge with
correct/updated filings.
3. Clerk not mailing copies to Defendants,
although extra copies were provided
for service. While certain filings were mailed, others were neglected at their discretion.
4. Clerks deliberately delayed forwarding
motions to the Judges.
EVERYTHING was processed and the Defendants – Dekalb County
Police did not respond in the time allotted by procedure as directed by courts.
Suddenly and without cause the case was reassigned to a
different Judge after Plaintiff (Lovelace) filed for Motion to Request Entry of
Default – Months later.
Per Pacer (court records): January 30, 2003 – Judge ordered
the Clerk’s Office to do their job…
On 01-30-2004, Pacer Court records No. 7 – Order instructs
Clerk’s Office to list Dekalb county Police to complaint and to forward
Plaintiff USM285 forms for completion. This was in response to Plaintiff’s
Motion for Correction and Notice of Error regarding Clerk’s Office excluding
defendants, Dekalb County Police Department from the Complaint.
On 02-17-2004, Pacer Court records No. 8 – Plaintiff’s
USM285 forms and Summons were completed and returned. Lovelace returned ALL
completed forms as directed.
On 03-16-2004, Pacer Court records No. 9 – Summons was
issued for Defendants Dekalb County Police. Clear as day, pacer showed that the
Clerk’s Office processed Summons for Defendants.
On 03-18-2004, Pacer Court records No. 10 – Request for
Waiver of Summons. Request for Waiver of Service due by 04-16-2004
Clearly,
they were served.
On 04-23-2004, In accordance with Civil Procedure and due to
no Answer by Defendants (Dekalb County Police dept.); Plaintiff (Lovelace)
filed Motion for Default and Summary Judgment.
Suddenly, without cause or explanation – I received notice
that the Judge was changed from Judge Jack T Camp to Judge William S Duffey.
Clearly, they were served but they were allowed to state
that I never served them, defendants blamed one of their staff members and
actually plead that ‘it would be unfair.’
All the while, I followed my Complaint on Pacer feverishly
watching for deliberate exclusions of my files. I had to file a motion for the
Courts to make the clerk’s office file and submit my motions to the judge.
I submitted ALL files in triplicate. I even have certified
mail receipts demonstrating mailed.
Do you know that the defendants were able to submit a
request to same court stating that I didn’t serve them and didn’t answer
Complaint until 08-14-2004 (4 months)?
As usual everyone ignored the law and my rights!
In disbelief that the district court, clerks and lawyers
were allowed to actually ignore facts, I filed an Appeal.
Note:
This was the Courts initial position after reviewing the Complaint:
Initial
Judge stated –
“To state a claim for relief under 42 U.S.C. 1983, a
plaintiff must allege that: (1) an act or omission deprived her of a right,
privilege, or immunity secured by the Constitution or a statute of the United
States; and (2) the act or omission was committed by a person acting under
color of state law.
Plaintiff alleged that the Dekalb Police failed to train and
supervise its employees regarding the maintenance of offenders’ arrest records.
Plaintiff alleges that these failures were intentional and that they deprived
Plaintiff of her federal constitutional rights.
In order to sufficiently plead a 1983 claim against a local
government entity, a plaintiff must allege that: (1) the government entity
inadequately trained or supervised its employees; (2) the failure resulted from
an official policy of the government entity; and (3) the policy caused the
employees to violate the plaintiff’s rights. See Thomas ex rel. Thomas v.
Roberts, 21 F.3d 1160, 1173 (11th Cir. 2001), rev’d on other grounds, 536 U.
S., 953, 122 S. Ct. 2653 (2002).
A plaintiff may prove that an official policy existed by showing
that the government knew it needed to train or supervise its employees but
deliberately chose not to take any action. Also noted was that the failure to
train or supervise must amount to “deliberate indifference’ to the rights of
persons with whom the police come into contact.” Local government “can be found
liable under 1983 only where the [entity] itself causes the constitutional
violation at issue.”
Lovelace
–
Although Lovelace was reporting to Michigan Probation AS
DIRECTED by Courts, there were no efforts made to contact and/or provide Notice
of Hearing prior to issuance of warrant.
Small print on the GA warrant:
“The undersigned officer hereby certifies that a thorough
and diligent search for the probationer listed in this warrant …and that
his/her whereabouts are unknown and cannot be located…”
This warrant was signed May 19, 1993 – expired July 31,
1997.
In a letter used to take housing from the Lovelace family, a
police agency stated that the warrant was valid in 2005 and that they were
unable to execute due to budgetary constraints. However, when I lived in
Georgia 2003/2004 there were no efforts to arrest? I believe the warrant was
serving its purpose, which was to inflict damage, hinder and harm. Prior to
filing this case, I submitted a notice and a request for correction to all
parties involved.
Courts
Initial Judge stated clearly:
The judge stated, ‘plaintiff alleged that Dekalb Police,
acting under color of state law, engaged in “willful misconduct…that raised a
presumption of conscious indifference to consequences” by failing to train and
supervise its employees in the entry and maintenance of criminal history
information in CJIS and GCIC. Plaintiff alleges that the Dekalb Police’s
actions caused the various constitutional harms specified in her Complaint.’
Plaintiff has adequately stated claims upon which relief can
be granted, and her claims have an arguable basis in law and fact.” The focus
was never placed on these pertinent facts again. It was as if someone realized
that this case had valid claims and proceeded to interfere and circumvent
justice.
I couldn’t believe that this was acceptable and that with a
‘sleight of hand’ people could openly deny rights and control the court system.
This was not my first time attempting to seek assistance from the court system.
Why is it that others could obtain justice and relief from injustice but I was
refused at every turn?
Pacer Court Case Tracker for Lovelace v. Dekalb Central
Probation, et al AND Dekalb County Police Department
On 01-30-2004, Pacer Court records No. 7 –
Order instructs Clerk’s Office to list Dekalb county Police to complaint and to
forward Plaintiff USM285 forms for completion. This was in response to
Plaintiff’s Motion for Correction and Notice of Error regarding Clerk’s Office
excluding defendants, Dekalb County Police Department from the Complaint.
Note:
On 06/23/2004 Clerks did not provided Judge with Amended Motion for Summary
Judgment with supporting documents attached.
The original Complaint listed both defendants but clerks only
listed one on the docket. Compare below…
Copy of
Lovelace vs. Dekalb County Police & Probation
This is the
1st page of the Complaint which clearly shows two Defendants but Clerks listed
only one.
Summons was issued, defendants ignored.
Plaintiff filed 2 Motions for Entry of Default but clerks ignored until. 2nd Motion included attachments supporting genuine issue for trial.
(2 1/2) Two and a half months later, Judges reassigned.
Courts labeled Document #12-Amended Motion for Clerk’s Entry of Default filed 05/06/2004 as #12 – Miscellaneous Relief.
Justice
was not served…but the Defendants were – per PACER.GOV!
If I had missed a
court deadline for my response, the courts would have made ruling against me.
Instead, the courts ignored Pacer court records and my Request for Entry of
Default; allowing the injustice to continue.
The
Judges did not address that problem with multiple request for correction
regarding the Clerk’s Office interfering with filings due to:
1. Clerk EXCLUDING A DEFENDANT that was clearly
listed on Original Complaint.
2. Clerk did not provide the Judge with
correct/updated filings.
3. Clerk not mailing copies to Defendants,
although extra copies were provided
for service. While certain filings were mailed, others were neglected at their discretion.
4. Clerks deliberately delayed forwarding
motions to the Judges.
EVERYTHING
was processed and the Defendants – Dekalb County Police did not respond in the
time allotted by procedure as directed by courts.
Suddenly
and without cause the case was reassigned to a different Judge after Plaintiff
(Lovelace) filed for Motion to Request Entry of Default – Months later.
Per
Pacer (court records): January 30, 2003 – Judge ordered the Clerk’s Office to
do their job…

returned ALL completed forms as directed.

– Request for Waiver of Summons. Request for Waiver of Service due by
04-16-2004
Clearly,
they were served.
On
04-23-2004, In accordance with Civil Procedure and due to no Answer by
Defendants (Dekalb County Police dept.); Plaintiff (Lovelace) filed Motion for
Default and Summary Judgment.
Suddenly,
without cause or explanation – I received notice that the Judge was changed
from Judge Jack T Camp to Judge William S Duffey.
Clearly,
they were served but they were allowed to state that I never served them,
defendants blamed one of their staff members and actually plead that ‘it would
be unfair.’
All
the while, I followed my Complaint on Pacer feverishly watching for deliberate
exclusions of my files. I had to file a motion for the Courts to make the
clerk’s office file and submit my motions to the judge.
I
submitted ALL files in triplicate. I even have certified mail receipts
demonstrating mailed.
Do
you know that the defendants were able to submit a request to same court
stating that I didn’t serve them and didn’t answer Complaint until 08-14-2004
(4 months)?
As
usual everyone ignored the law and my rights!

To state a claim under 42 U.S.C. 1983, a
Plaintiff must allege that: (1) an act or omission deprived her of a right,
privilege, or immunity secured by the Constitution or a statute of United
States; and (2) the act or omission was committed by a person acting under
color of state law…

I
requested corrections and produced transcript of court order requesting
correction/modification but Defendants showed willful indifference.
Clearly, the Courts Order dictates that the Clerk’s Office was to provide
and prepare forms to plaintiff for service; then Clerk was to process and
forward all form for Service. Pacer confirms Plaintiff returned completed forms
and Clerk’s Office process and sent to Marshall for service.
9 – SUMMONS WAS ISSUED 03/16/2004
12 – Clerks should have listed as
Amended Motion for Summary Judgment instead of Motion for Miscellaneous Relief
– Clerks delayed submitting to Judge

– Amended Motion for Entry of Default & Summary Judgment was entered into court system on
05/06/2004 but listed as Motion for Miscellaneous Relief.
Courts switched Judges on 07/12/2004
(two months after receiving Motion for Summary Judgment) but Clerks never
submitted Amended Motion for Summary Judgment to then Judge Jack T Camp.

background search for Tiwanda Lovelace
Recent background listed trumped up case involving shopping cart and a credit card case. These additional charges were dismissed and one charge was added to another case without my knowledge months after sentencing and completion of another.Recent background listed trumped up case involving shopping
cart and a credit card case
Per my
Conditions of Probation dated 08/07/1992, I was sentenced and I returned to
Michigan when these entries were made regarding an order adding restitution. This
case was added when I turned myself and I was told that they dismissed these
charges. I was never informed of these modifications dated January and February
1993.
Handcuffed in Canada –
This was no coincidence.
(Refernce image Only!)
This was no coincidence.
UNNECESSARY
AND UNWARRANTED!
INTIMIDATION
TACTICS…
I worked for
Capital One after they purchased H.S.B.C., using H.S.B.C. management and
staff – I was harassed daily!
THEIR employee told me ‘why don’t you
just die.’ THEY brought
up the past and THEY referenced that music
mess. From previously being subjected to
these hostile environments, I was
able to counter their attempts with the same techniques that have
been used on me for decades. When their efforts were
ineffective and only led to their frustration and anger, I was let
go without good cause.
I found out
later about their affiliation with the music business.
_______________________________________
On September 18, 2013, I attempted to check out Canada by
booking a six night vacation to familiarize myself with
their rules on providing my
publishing services in Canada.
I was
still subjected to comments and minor chatting that was
in relation to prison or locking someone up.
As
soon as I arrived in Canada, as I exited the gate all I could
see was HSBC
everywhere.
As I went
through security; I had this tall manly looking woman security with
the name tag – Wakowski who was anxiously walking towards me as
if she had been waiting for me, needless to say that I
was questioned, then was detained and denied entry into Canada.
I was paraded in front of other officers and one had the nerve
to wink at me.
One of the
other officers, told me that he had connects in the United
States. I was detained/arrested and placed in a cell
overnight; when I was awakened I
had
Officer Bathan place me in handcuffs that were so tight that
they left a mark.
It was clear
that the U.S. FBI doesn’t want me going too far because that
supposedly dismissed warrant/record
has not been dismissed from their system.
This was no
coincidence.

It is not okay
for people to exact revenge on one person under the guise of a
game. You know when someone is trying to ‘knock you off’ –
secretly,
pressuring you
and alienating you; while hurting others so that they will hate
you… this is not a game!
I have not
killed anyone, I have done nothing different than any other human
being facing this ridiculousness.
I am not
allowed to work; therefore, I can’t maintain a residence,
I am not allowed
to conduct business so I can’t eat,
I am not
allowed to have rights as a U.S. citizen,
I am not
allowed to leave the country,
I have to fight
everyone in any position to block anything, trapped…
Sounds like
murder to me! It’s not just talk! There are too many coincidences.

H.S.B.C. definitely marked all of that area.

Google Tactics:
WHAT
DON’T THEY WANT YOU TO KNOW?
The other websites had the
same upload but they had it posted correctly…WHY THE GAMES? HIDING WHAT?
Google Search shows my book for $0.99
but of course this is not correct. Amazon has the correct price $19.99 but
Google displayed this search results. Yes, I have asked them to remove listing
repeatedly.
Finally, I was able to have Music Business: It’s a
Dirty Game! – removed from their Google Books and Google
Play websites.
They also displayed various pages from my book out of sequence and out of context for a preview.
If you see $ 0.99 and then once you select page the price shows $19.99 this could discourage interest. Book was not listed with correct title.
I purchased a couple Ads’ from Facebook and
this is a copy of the Ads tracking where they stopped all activity at $2.11.
My
very first Ad went well; I reached over 44,000 hits per my page manager but
someone interfered with 2nd Ad. I wonder why…
I assure you this was never a game
but this was a revenge plot from the start! Read Chapters 1-6 of Music
Business: It’s a Dirty Game! provided below!
Why would eBay and Amazon
have mysterious seller offer my listing for less than the authorized price? I
understand competition but why is there no information on seller?
Notice: Top Rated Plus & Seller: buy (2589127
with shooting star) is listed first, and then my listing is below…
This is not my (Seven West Productions) Ad and it
should be $19.99.
My (Seven West Productions) listing is second.
Note: My
photo was used by Seller: buy (2589127 with shooting star).
These are not coincidences…but deliberate! Find out
why by reading Chapters 1-6 below!
Meanwhile, I am marketing and promoting this book and
sending my customers to Amazon/Createspace but they offer it for less because
Amazon was selling same book @ $17.01, not the agreed 19.99 through
Createspace.
No Sales? I know people who purchased on
Amazon!
This is not my listing above-5 new
$16.00 –
My previous Correct Seller information with eBay
100% Positive feedback
Amazon is clearly selling at different rate and $0.00
sales have been reported even though I know that friends/associates have
purchased.
This is my listing below showing the agreed
Createspace /Amazon price of $19.99…which coincidentally is listed on page
#144, page 12 under Music.

I spend hours, days and weeks promoting my book; sending my customers
to eBay & Amazon links for my $19.99 Music Business: It’s a Dirty Game and
find that my efforts are undermined.
I hope that you have enjoyed reading the Chapters 1 – 6 that I have
provided for preview. I am fighting for my life and I shouldn’t have had to
compete with Amazon and/or eBay with my own product when using their online
service!
I have had three websites but each time I am faced with unexplained
changes to my websites or purchase links being forwarded to other non-related
sites. Recently, I have discovered that some of my copies sent as attachments
in emails were never received so if you have received a copy then it was
through great lengths.
I even tried to walk away from my situation and at every turn I am
faced with compounded trials and tribulations that are unnatural turn of
events. This has become some kind of sport for everyone. I have put everything
into fighting this injustice and I could use some support. It has been a
difficult journey but this form of slavery must stop because I am not going to
accept this without a fight. There is no valid reason, justification or excuse
to deny rights…
I
understand that life is not easy for anyone but after reviewing all of these
documents and questionable events; one must accept that this is deliberate
deprivation of rights. I am tired of feeling and being deliberately oppressed
and enslaved for decades by those with money, positions and power.
This is really a Dirty Game!
THESE ARE NO COINCIDENCES!
THEY DON’T WANT ME TO SELL MY BOOKS EXPOSING THESE
ATROCITIES BUT THEY DON’T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ME

Each instance listed can easily be

The definition of a Monopoly is complete control of the entire supply of goods or of a service in a certain area or market, a large company that has a monopoly, complete ownership or control of something. This sums everything up in a single sentence. How else is this allowed to continue with impunity?
Attorney’s knowingly conspire to have you sign a standard contract for small amount when they know that you will need a large retainer when the deal goes sour.
Under false pretense, promises and manipulation, the publishing or record take your materials/works.
Music Publisher manipulates to obtain fresh ideas and woks with the intention of using works said works without honoring the Agreement. They flash a list of Major Labels that they will place your works with but then deny you royalties.
The Courts work against the Artist repeatedly by refusing to even acknowledge your complaints across State lines; which prevents relief that would allow you to secure an appropriate retainer.
The Artist/writer/small publishing and production companies are unable to operate or conduct business because the industry conspires against them.
In addition, there is coincidental acts of violence, isolation and oppression used to intimidate…preventing proper resolution.
The publishing or record company contract will then state that your contract says that we can choose not to pursue your claims.
You are faced with major opposition from multiple sources. I have had multiple major companies violate the Federal Trade Commission Fair Trade Act and Competition Laws.
They assisted with hindering my efforts in promoting and marketing my Titles by creating fake sellers, re-routed links to other products, listed titles in the wrong categories and listed incorrect prices.
These other companies circumventing justice when I was promoting my books that were exposing the blatant tactics and methods subjected.
15 U.S. Code § 2 – Monopolizing trade a felony; penalty
Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding $100,000,000 if a corporation, or, if any other person, $1,000,000, or by imprisonment not exceeding 10 years, or by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court.
Even with all of the documentation
regarding multiple events of violence,
court misconduct, mail tampering, etc..
recently I received this notice from the
D.O.J Antitrust Division….
Thank you for contacting the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. The Citizen Complaint Center has carefully reviewed your complaint and understands your concerns, but we have determined that the information provided does not raise antitrust issues that warrant further review by the Division. We have your information on file and should the legal staff need further information, they may contact you in the future. If you have not already done so, you might wish to consult a private attorney.
We appreciate your interest in the enforcement of the federal antitrust laws and we hope you are able to resolve your concerns.
I have read their website information and it says:
The Sherman Act outlaws “every contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade,” and any “monopolization, attempted monopolization, or conspiracy or combination to monopolize.” Long ago, the Supreme Court decided that the Sherman Act does not prohibit every restraint of trade, only those that are unreasonable. For instance, in some sense, an agreement between two individuals to form a partnership restrains trade, but may not do so unreasonably, and thus may be lawful under the antitrust laws. On the other hand, certain acts are considered so harmful to competition that they are almost always illegal. These include plain arrangements among competing individuals or businesses to fix prices, divide markets, or rig bids. These acts are “per se” violations of the Sherman Act; in other words, no defense or justification is allowed.
The penalties for violating the Sherman Act can be severe. Although most enforcement actions are civil, the Sherman Act is also a criminal law, and individuals and businesses that violate it may be prosecuted by the Department of Justice. Criminal prosecutions are typically limited to intentional and clear violations such as when competitors fix prices or rig bids. The Sherman Act imposes criminal penalties of up to $100 million for a corporation and $1 million for an individual, along with up to 10 years in prison. Under federal law, the maximum fine may be increased to twice the amount the conspirators gained from the illegal acts or twice the money lost by the victims of the crime, if either of those amounts is over $100 million.
The Federal Trade Commission Act bans “unfair methods of competition” and “unfair or deceptive acts or practices.” The Supreme Court has said that all violations of the Sherman Act also violate the FTC Act. Thus, although the FTC does not technically enforce the Sherman Act, it can bring cases under the FTC Act against the same kinds of activities that violate the Sherman Act. The FTC Act also reaches other practices that harm competition, but that may not fit neatly into categories of conduct formally prohibited by the Sherman Act. Only the FTC brings cases under the FTC Act.
The Clayton Act addresses specific practices that the Sherman Act does not clearly prohibit, such as mergers and interlocking directorates (that is, the same person making business decisions for competing companies). Section 7 of the Clayton Act prohibits mergers and acquisitions where the effect “may be substantially to lessen competition, or to tend to create a monopoly.” As amended by the Robinson-Patman Act of 1936, the Clayton Act also bans certain discriminatory prices, services, and allowances in dealings between merchants. The Clayton Act was amended again in 1976 by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act to require companies planning large mergers or acquisitions to notify the government of their plans in advance.
The Clayton Act also authorizes private parties to sue for triple damages when they have been harmed by conduct that violates either the Sherman or Clayton Act and to obtain a court order prohibiting the anticompetitive practice in the future.
