The Dishonorable Victor M. Torres in the California Superior Court Is a Criminal

2026-07-26T19:59:20-07:00

In a seemingly endless string of bad actors, another so-called California judge, Victor Manuel Torres, should be immediately removed from the bench—and possibly even imprisoned for obstructing justice. On May 15, 2026, I had a “hearing” with the local crime syndicate—the San Diego Superior Court. The issue regarded petitions I had filed under section 1094.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure and section 10962 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code. After a one-year wait for two of the matters and a nearly two-year wait for the other two, the syndicate finally decided it was time to face the music.

Knowing full well what Torres’s decision was going to be beforehand, I led off with this question: “I’ve never gone to law school, so I have an honest question that I’d like answered. Is there a class where they teach the students how to lie with a straight face or falsify records and then how to later try to hide their crimes, or how to cover for each other when one judge commits a crime and then others do things like fraudulently and openly deny it in the records, or even seal entire cases because they are so rife with crime and corruption that you criminals in black gowns want to hide it from public view; is there a class like that?” I asked this question because I have seen this disgusting criminal behavior well in excess of 100 times over the years in connected cases.

After a significant pause, he simply said, “No.” He then asked why I hadn’t paid the fee for the four petitions or had them served. Right on the bottom of each notice I got from the syndicate, it says: “re: Plaintiff’s failure to pay filing fee.” Nothing whatsoever is mentioned about “service.”

After being interrupted more than once, I replied with: “As usual, the syndicate is trying to flush a case when it knows damn well that the rules and law forbid it. Apparently, this joke of a hearing is being held because of ‘Plaintiff’s failure to pay filing fee.’ First of all, I’m not a plaintiff; I’m a petitioner. Second of all, CA code, welfare and institutions code section 10962, which I’m sure you’re thoroughly familiar with, clearly states two things, one of which you didn’t do, and one of which you’re trying not to do. The first thing, ‘Any such petition to the superior court [the superior syndicate, really]* shall be entitled to a preference in setting a date for hearing on the petition.’ I’d venture to say that any sane person over the age of ten would agree that waiting over a year for the first ‘hearing’—and in at least one instance, about two years—is not ‘a preference.’ The second thing is that this section of code also clearly states, and listen closely, ‘No filing fee shall be required for the filing of a petition pursuant to this section.’ And what you criminals are trying to do is flush my petition.....in spite of this law. That’s why I haven’t paid the fee.” *The wording in brackets denotes my personal commentary.

As can be seen directly from the written law in California, a filing fee is not required. He undoubtedly knew this before I quoted the above law to him. He does not like being called out for improper behavior, which I have no qualms doing with these glorified, oftentimes unelected, lawyer-criminals in black gowns. No sooner had I finished speaking, this is when he instantly became a criminal—in my case anyway—by obstructing justice. In clear violation of civil law, he said, “All four petitions are dismissed,” and immediately terminated the phone call. He didn’t even try the typical BS that they often attempt to spew, such as saying something like, “You’re not reading that law correctly,” or “There’s an exception that you’re missing,” hoping that such falsities will fool the average pro se litigant.

I knew beforehand exactly what was going to transpire and did not want to waste my gas and time driving to Satan’s house—what I appropriately call courthouses here in Amerika—only to spend over an hour waiting in order to have no more than two minutes in front of such a criminal. I don’t levy lightly or without basis these accusations of him—or other judges—being a criminal. 18 U.S. Code § 1503(a) unequivocally defines obstruction as anyone who “.....influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice, shall be” guilty of a felony. Similarly, 18 U.S. Code § 1512(c)(2) says “whoever corruptly—otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so” shall be guilty of a felony.

Nobody can reasonably argue that dismissing four cases in direct contradiction of statutory law is anything less than obstruction of justice. Absurdly assuming for the moment that this criminal had no idea about the particular law, I had just read the relevant parts of it to him verbatim.....and he still dismissed all four matters because he doesn’t like the fact that I called him a criminal and all his friends criminals. I call things exactly what they are. If I call someone a criminal, then that person has earned the title.

I filed a complaint with the judicial oversight board, the Commission on Judicial Performance in Big Blue, like I do with all the other judge-criminals, but I guarantee it will be filed under “G” like the 100+ other complaints I’ve filed against lawyers and black-gown-clad lawyers nationwide. Until people in this once great nation wake up to the biggest problem ever to plague us, this kind of outrageous criminal misconduct by members of the world’s largest crime syndicate will continue to worsen. The full audio of the dialog with Judge Torres along with a voicemail I left afterward can be heard at this link.

The Dishonorable Michael S. Groch Has Committed Several Crimes

2026-06-28T19:55:20-07:00

As I’ve said before, I can say with a 95 percent confidence level that 92 percent of judges are criminals here in Amerika, given a 5 percent margin of error. The latest judge/criminal to further validate this statistic is the dishonorable Michael Stuart Groch of the California Superior Syndicate.

After pummeling the California Appellate Syndicate for several months because the presiding judge there, Elwood Lui, decided to commit several crimes, including obstruction of justice and misprision of felony, I began filing hundreds of cases into that court daily in order to try to force justice out of it since, like all other American courts, it is not going to willing dispense justice on its own. A long chain reaction has occurred over the last several years, with judge-criminal covering for judge-criminal in numerous states across the nation. I have been blocked from litigating in more than a dozen courts because the syndicate fears me—and it should. In a nutshell, it created a fraudulent judgment against me and stole a $380,000 condominium—that was owned by a family member—in order to fulfill the “debt.”

The purpose of flooding the courts is a guerrilla warfare tactic to force it to deliver justice and make me whole. Sadly, in today’s courts in this nation, judges do not deliver justice willingly. They have to be forced, and the only way to do that is to hit them in the wallet or the time clock. I haven’t yet figured out a way to hit them in the wallet, so for now, I’m hitting them in the time clock—and hitting them hard. At the California Appellate Syndicate, there were twelve employees trying to keep up with me. Despite the twenty-two known felonies, several misdemeanors, and no less than thirty-eight violations of civil statutory law plus countless violations of rules of procedure and ethical codes in addition to unwavering resistance to follow case law unless it is convenient for syndicate criminals, all of which has happened in just my cases alone, I’ve offered numerous times to come to the table and make a deal with them.

While this has all been happening, the state owed me approximately $62 in tax credit. It initially refused to willingly pay, so I filed an appeal with a different branch of the state government. I also filed a lawsuit in the California Superior Syndicate. Although the Franchise Tax Board has now paid in full, the wheels were already turning to make them pay punitively—through the civil lawsuit filed in court. I filed the suit in the fall of 2025. However, I filed it in a different division and under a different name because I knew the syndicate would not allow me to litigate in court. Sure enough, its members flushed the case once they figured out it was mine. As punishment for blocking my 5-figure lawsuit, I began hammering that court as well with thousands of electronic filings.

As part of the pummeling, the third-party filing software that the California Superior Syndicate uses allows for courtesy emails to be sent when a new suit is initiated. I am forced to file a new lawsuit each time I file anything because the syndicate deleted my original case from the third-party filing system in order to try to block me—and justice—yet again. This fact will be important momentarily. So, with each new case, which the syndicate also automatically deletes, approximately forty criminals get notified of it along with receiving 2MB of data in their inboxes. Over the course of just one weekend in particular, I filed well over 1,000 new cases, each with more than 25MB of data attached. This means that in total, between filings and emails sent with attachments, well over 100GB of data was uploaded to the syndicate. To date a bare-bones minimum of several terabytes has been uploaded.

Of course, all the criminals do not like having their inboxes filled with emails demanding justice. It hinders them from conducting the sordid affairs that they do daily. So, they called Groch to tell him that he has to stop me at all costs. After receiving dozens upon dozens of phone calls, no doubt, and rather than standing for justice as so few judges do these days, he decided to be complicit in the scheme. He issued an “order” on April 20, 2026, trying to block me from filing any further cases with the syndicate. But it’s important to notice something glaring about the so-called order.

Numbering of all known newly filed syndicate cases resets to zero at the beginning of each year, with the first case of each various type being assigned the number one, which increments sequentially thereafter. By April, most numbers would be in the hundreds, and for busy courts, already in the thousands. This particular document is numbered “26MISC00001,” which means no other “miscellaneous” such order had been issued in 2026 by the California Superior Syndicate. I will venture to guess that no other such order has ever been issued in the history of California jurisprudence and possibly even in U.S. history. He says, “The time spent reviewing.....” my filings is essentially a waste of time.

That’s the point. I’ve given syndicate members the option to deliver justice—or work an extra 1.5 hours of unpaid overtime daily until they retire. They refuse to allow me to recover the $1.2 million that they stole and the thousands they continue to steal monthly; therefore, I have been forced to use guerilla warfare. However, the syndicate is not reviewing anything I send. Its members are feverishly deleting everything as fast as they can so that their server doesn’t fill up and crash. It takes them roughly thirty seconds to delete each filing. I can upload faster than that.

More importantly, Dishonorable Groch falsified the record at least twice with his document. Since the words “reviewing” and “deleting” are not anything close to synonymous, he falsified the record in violation of section 115 of the California penal code, which is a felony, and also in violation of various federal criminal statutes, such as 18 U.S.C. § 1001. He also wrongly says I use "vulgarity" in my filings. I've never done so. My friends who know me can verify that even in writings including text messages and emails I always use grawlix/leetspeak/disemvoweling in every single instance. These three things are not expletives, vulgarity, or profanity. They are replacements for or censoring of it.

He thus falsified the record a second time; however, I did congratulate him on issuing an order that has far less falsifications in it than any other order issued against me over the last decade. One could even argue that he is obstructing justice like all the other black-gown-clad criminals before him, which would, of course, be yet another criminal offense as would be protecting those other relevant criminals. Likewise, the same could be said about him violating 18 U.S.C. § 4 and being an accessory after the fact for the other criminals' offenses. Moreover, by trying to stifle my voice not only through his bogus order but also by having his minions keep deleting my accounts and trying to block my IP address, he has violated my First Amendment right to free speech.

His so-called order instructed me to stop filing electronically with the California Superior Syndicate. He threatened sanctions and “contempt proceedings” against me. While I would eagerly welcome contempt proceedings, it would not be for contempt of court—it would be for contempt of the entire crime syndicate! And, the coup de grâce, the icing on the cake, if you will, is that the syndicate cannot legally issue a valid order if there is no underlying justiciable case. Any order issued without a relevant active case—and thus without proper jurisdiction—is void ab initio, which is Latin and means “from the very beginning.”

Groch is well aware of this. The criminals, however, shot themselves in the foot by deleting the original filing I had entered in the California Superior Syndicate via the third-party filing program. They did this in their zeal to block me and justice. Now, with each new case filing, I can add the email address of each criminal so that they all receive a copy of the filing thereby increasing their workload by more than an order of magnitude compared with just leaving my original case alone and untouched in the electronic third-party filing system.

Now, with regard to my statement earlier about deleting my case from that system, not only did they create more work for themselves, but they also shut the door on personal and subject matter jurisdiction. If these geniuses hadn’t done that and let me continue filing on an open case, then they certainly would have had subject matter and personal jurisdiction. They could still file harassment charges.....but then they’d have to put me in front of a jury. This is something the syndicate has avoided and continues to avoid at all costs and for obvious reasons: I will absolutely crush them in front of a jury.

If you need to contact Judge Michael S. Groch about corrupt and/or criminal rulings in your own case, I'm sure he'd love to hear from you. He can be reached at:

I’m not at all surprised by any of this and honestly wouldn’t expect the syndicate to follow the law now. Its members haven’t done anything legal yet from the very beginning anyway. For those of you reading this in complete doubt or disbelief, I assure you the world’s largest crime syndicate will never attack you or your family.....

until it does.

Epstein Scandal Is the Epitome of How the U.S. Legal System "Works"

2026-05-31T20:53:34-07:00

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal is widely considered one of the most prominent networks of elite corruption and abuse in modern history. It exposed a global web of billionaires, politicians, and celebrities who used their wealth to access exclusive networks, trade favors, and shield themselves from accountability. The scandal highlighted the dark reality of how the ultra-wealthy interact with power.

Key facets include:

1. Favors and Leverage: Epstein masterfully built his status by ingratiating himself with powerful figures. Unsealed court records and the "Epstein Files" detail a hidden world where super-elites traded favors, made introductions, and overlooked the wrongdoings of their allies.

2. Financial Complicity: Systemic failures within global finance enabled his operations. Recent United States Senate investigations, such as the probe into JPMorgan Chase, revealed how massive cross-border transactions connected to his sex trafficking ring were allowed to occur without timely reporting.

3. Institutional Impunity: The sheer depth of the network generated widespread public distrust. The scandal reinforced the perception among many that a separate set of rules exists for the powerful, as many of his associates avoided criminal prosecution despite their proximity to his activities. This scandal is a metaphor for our legal system in the United States, where there are two sets of rules; one for the wealthy, and one for the rest of us.

While Epstein’s criminal enterprise shocked the conscience of humanity, global reactions to the scandal largely view it as a stress test for institutional justice, revealing the stark consequences of unchecked wealth and influence. It is unlikely for the rapists, pedophiles, and child murderers to be ever see true justice in the eyes of the world and the victims. So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a few of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity.

Under international criminal law, crimes against humanity occur when acts such as sexual slavery, rape, enforced prostitution, trafficking, persecution, torture, or murder are committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population, with knowledge of the attack. The experts warned the components and reported patterns may meet this threshold, and these crimes must be prosecuted in all competent national and international courts.

All the allegations contained in the "Epstein Files" are egregious in nature and require independent, thorough, and impartial investigation, as well as inquiries to determine how such crimes could have taken place for so long. The disclosure process is taking place under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law on November 19, 2025. On January 30, 2026, after some delays, the Department of Injustice released a major tranche of material, including more than 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images.

Despite the scale of disclosures, experts warned of serious compliance failures and botched redactions that exposed sensitive victim information, with harm often occurring before records were withdrawn. Accountability has been limited, with only one close associate under investigation. Under international human rights law, states are obligated to prevent, investigate, and punish violence against women and girls, including acts committed by private actors.

The grave errors in the release process underscore the urgent need for victim-centered standard operating procedures for disclosure and redaction so that no victim suffers further harm. The experts hailed the courage and resilience of victims in seeking accountability at significant personal cost. A group of these survivors recently met with the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls and members of the U.S. Congress. The failure to safeguard their privacy puts them at risk of retaliation and stigma. The reluctance to fully disclose information or broaden investigations, has left many survivors feeling retraumatized and subjected to what they describe as “institutional gaslighting.”

The experts urged U.S. authorities to urgently remedy these failures, ensure full disclosure to understand methods of the criminal enterprise, full remedy and reparation for victims for all harms sustained, and end impunity for perpetrators. Statutes of limitations preventing prosecution of grave crimes attributed to the Epstein criminal enterprise must be lifted. Any suggestion that it is time to move on from the ‘Epstein files’ is unacceptable. It represents a failure of responsibility towards victims and a huge failure of the United States legal system. Resignations of implicated individuals alone are not an adequate substitute for criminal accountability. The United Nations welcomed steps by some governments to probe current and former officials and private individuals named in the files. They called on other countries to do the same.

Failure by governments to effectively investigate and prosecute those responsible for these crimes, including by complicity or acquiescence, where jurisdiction exists, risks undermining legal frameworks aimed at preventing and responding to violence against women and girls. It is imperative that governments act decisively to hold perpetrators accountable. No one is too wealthy or too powerful to be above the law. But the way the United States attorney general, Congress, our justice system, and the world has failed the victims is astonishing and a perfect metaphor for how people without means are denied justice. Meanwhile, those with power, influence, and money evade justice time and time again. If you are curious how our "justice" system truly operates, we encourage you to read a copy of our book, Stack the Legal Odds in Your Favor, so you can inform yourself about and protect yourself from the United States legal system, or as Tom aptly calls it, the world's largest crime syndicate. It is currently the only book in its class.

Self-Represented Litigants Are Viewed as a "Cash Cow" by the U.S. Legal System

2026-04-26T11:23:24-07:00

There are innumerable problems with our wonderful judicial system here in Amerika, otherwise known as the world’s largest crime syndicate. One of its many failings concerns the “cash cow” that self-represented—or pro se—litigants provide for it. That is the topic of this post.

Courts make an enormous amount of money off the backs of the populace. This has been proved during the most recent government shutdown. The federal courts declared that they would remain in operation due to the surplus of funds paid by its victims, everyday people. As can be seen on this arm of the world's largest crime syndicate's website, it "remains open and will continue paid operations through Friday, Oct. 17, by using court fee balances."

For all courts except the Supreme Court of the United States, a pro se litigant should pay the civil case filing fee only once the case reaches the pre-trial hearing, or at the very least, after the case reaches discovery. For cases brought to the Supreme Court on a petition for a writ of certiorari or the like, the pro se litigants there should only pay the filing fee after the writ is granted.

As it stands now, self-represented litigants are treated as an unlimited financial resource from the syndicate’s perspective. The filing fee is paid—for such litigants proceeding without a fee waiver—and not long afterward, many of the cases are discarded, i.e. dismissed. In reality, some staff attorney at the courthouse gives a pro se’s filing a quick once-over, if anything, and then hands it off to the judge for rubber-stamping of the dismissal recommended by the staff attorney.

At most, this entire procedure probably takes no more than an hour of time. With today’s outrageous filing fees reaching $600 or more in some courts, this means that the syndicate is sometimes making around $600 an hour to flush a pro se litigant’s case. If this doesn’t sound like justice to you, you’re not alone. Forget the fact that unfortunate citizens who are seeking redress for real problems are having their lives shattered at the whim of some lowly lawyer acting as the evil right hand for the syndicate.

There is exactly zero incentive for the syndicate to deliver justice when its members can simply pull the flush chain on a case, take the next one in line, and do the same thing. Lather, rinse, repeat. Rather than letting a case proceed as it should through litigation, the syndicate plays the numbers game. It takes in as many cases as it can and drops each one on the floor as quickly as possible.

Do the math. Assuming a $500 filing fee, this figure divided by twenty hours of the syndicate’s time, for example, to give an action the real justice it deserves is $25 per hour. $500 divided by just one hour—the “time” required to give the matter the mighty tidy swirl—yields $500 an hour, or twenty times as much. The option syndicate members are going to take almost exclusively is the path of least resistance and the one with the greatest monetary reward.

By requiring unrepresented litigants to pay filing fees later in the case, it disincentivizes the syndicate from doing essentially no work and getting massive pay.....not to mention destroying many peoples’ lives in the process. Unfortunately for the commoner, there is no mechanism to control how the courts “operate” in this nation. Actually, there is no true mechanism to control anything within the syndicate, but that has been a topic in past posts.

In general, the courts themselves—through the Judicial Conference of the United States and similar bodies at the state level—set up the “rules” about how the syndicate should function. They’ve given our (oftentimes unelected) lawyers in black gowns immunity. They’ve determined how the “oversight” boards are to be comprised. They’ve made it so that everyday people have no way of obtaining justice if the syndicate wants to block justice, which is pretty much the syndicate's current standard operating procedure. Included in the rules are the schedule of filing fees and when and how they are to be paid.

None of this is meant to sound earth shattering to those who are familiar with the syndicate, but to those who aren’t, this material should provide some meaningful food for thought. Considering that most people will face the syndicate at some point in their lives—and very likely fall victim to it—the information provided herein should enlighten the average person beforehand about yet another disgusting facet regarding how the judiciary “works” in this once great nation.

The U.S. Legal System (a.k.a. the World's Largest Crime Syndicate) Wastes Your Tax Dollars

2026-03-29T13:30:58-07:00

As I prove in chapter one of my second book, which can be read here, the U.S. legal system is in fact the world's largest crime syndicate in terms of both money and personnel. But not only is it expert with regard to committing crimes, it also excels at wasting tax dollars. As a conservative estimate regarding its fight against me over the last several years, it has wasted more than $1,000,000 of your money. But the party is not over. It will likely waste millions more.

Because its members have committed at least twenty-two felonies against me in order to steal $1.2 million in money and property from me and my family, I have gone on a rampage, if you will. This is because, despite the twelve chances I've given the syndicate to do the right thing in various courts across the nation, it has continued to try to block me.....and justice. I gave it eleven chances too many. One should have been more than enough. Therefore, I began phase one of the assault around October of last year.

As I always do when I am about to take remedial action, I warned them prior to this. They ignored the warning just like they ignored the warning about me listing their names and offenses in my second book before it was published. The object of this phase was to flood the syndicate's servers with many bytes of data daily, and to continually increase the amount of data every time its members try to block me, which is now more than 10 GB each day and totals well over a terabyte as of this writing, in order to force them to deliver justice—and stop committing crimes. After all, they've proved at least twelve times now that I will not be allowed to litigate in court—and for the obvious reason: I would absolutely.....crush.....them.

Third-party filing software used by the syndicate provides the added bonus of being able to designate email recipients to be sent an email with each filing, so I serve two of the criminals—Michael Paul Vicencia and Elwood Lui—with each filing I submit. Their email and home addresses, along with their phone numbers, can be found on this page. The contact information for about 2,000 judges can also be found there. So, in addition to about a dozen workers trying to keep up with me at just one court, the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, by deleting all my filings so that their server doesn't fill up and crash, two black-gown-clad criminals get their email boxes filled with messages as well.

Keep in mind that the criminals don't have the luxury of blocking the domain like they could if I had sent the messages from my own webserver. This is because they would cause the domain to be blacklisted if they marked the messages as "spam," which would interfere with the ability of other branches of the syndicate (courts) to conduct efiling operations. Also, even though the syndicate contacts the third-party software company daily to have them close my account, they can't permanently block me since the big internet-based email providers, Gmail, for example, allow users to create an infinite number of alias accounts specifically for signing up for online services. This is perfect because every time the syndicate tries to block me, I simply create a new account: <myusername>+stop-crime<X>@gmail.com and just increment the numerical "X" value for each one, which saves me a lot of time.

Phase two kicked in just this month. It is a cumulative attack including all of phase 1. But, in addition to the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, I now also flood two other state courts in BIG Blue with inordinate amounts of data. Like the other third-party provider, the one used by these two also allows email recipients to receive notifications of filings; however, this software additionally allows the actual documents to be served to the recipient, not just links, provided the attachment is not too large. This is an even greater bonus than the previous because it allows mailboxes to fill much faster.

Phase three will commence on April 1, no joke. This phase will include elements of both previous phases, but also add fax-bombing to the mix. Although most or all courts use a virtual fax system nowadays, it still will be yet another channel that they will try relentlessly to clear. Phase four kicks in on May 1 and will once again be cumulative of the previous three. The reason for the increasing attack is because my original offer to settle with the syndicate in November of last year was a mere $10,000 plus return of the stolen condo and wiping out the fraudulent debt. Again, I warned these criminals that the dollar figure would double each month. It is therefore currently $160,000 until the end of this month before doubling again to $320,000 next month. The pain must increase with the cost; otherwise, the syndicate will have no incentive to settle.

Estimate of Wasted Tax Dollars: by the Numbers

The Department of Injustice (DOI) Liar/Lawyer ($45,000)

Kristin Tavia Mihelic, the attorney/criminal for the DOI, after having previously communicated directly or indirectly with another criminal, Joseph Leonard Michaud, decided to fraudulently and criminally block the discharge of the fraudulent debt Michaud created against me. I was assessed "sanctions" for following the law and exposing crime. Mihelic filed motions for sanctions totaling about $10,000, but the hours wasted at 341 meetings, telephonic hearings, and whatnot easily consumed $25,000 of taxpayer funds. Appellate attorneys for the syndicate also got involved and increased costs further as did emails sent to me from disposable email accounts threatening me and then asking me politely to remove the aforementioned contact information.

Tracking the "Terrorist" ($300,000)

My emails now get tracked all over the world, with my messages being read thousands of times nationally and internationally, since the syndicate now considers me a "terrorist" for trying to force justice out of it. To make the call to Google, which folded up like an old card table and complied, and get the tracking mechanism underway had to take several members several hours. Add to this the time for post analysis of my messages, data crunching and data storage overhead, IT support, and more, the cost must be exorbitant.

The Arrival of Domestic Terrorists ($10,000)

Federal agents have arrived where I live on at least three occasions. The last time I interacted with Satan's right hand personally was in 2024 when I was on my way to the airport and, for the first time in approximately twenty departures from the particular airport, coincidentally could not get through security after telling the terrorists to pound sand and arriving at the airport more than an hour later. About ten of them appeared the day after I flooded the syndicate with 10,000 emails to thirty black-gown-clad criminals. Incidentally, this number is easily dwarfed by the 200,000 emails they received this past weekend, courtesy of third-party filing software. Planning and coordinating these events plus the actual on-site/surveillance time had to consume a minimum of 100 man-hours.

"Solution" to the Problem ($200,000)

Both Pamela Bondi and Kashyap Patel were on the email distribution during phase 2. Both have now changed their email addresses because of me. So, their solution to the problem is not to fix it, but instead, to hide from it. Changing an email address at the upper echelons of government is certainly no small task. Internal and external contact lists across the entire government have to be modified, the IT department must get involved, and other logistics must be addressed. The waste of tax dollars associated with this has to be at least six figures.

Miscellaneous Costs ($600,000)

There are, of course, the proportionate salaries of the thirty or so glorified lawyers who ruled against me and committed innumerable crimes by doing so and the salaries of the lawyers who were paid to protect them from criminal/civil liability in my lawsuits. The time it takes them to delete my voice mails—at least 25,000 to date—also adds up quickly. Moreover, there are supply chain, administrative, storage, and other costs associated with hiding their crimes that I can only estimate with rather rough accuracy. Every time I filed something with the syndicate, I guarantee several members communicated behind the scenes in order to devise a scheme to defeat me, that is, violate rules of procedure, civil and criminal laws, and the Constitution in order to reach their pre-determined ruling or judgment. There are many other costs associated with fighting someone who fights as hard as I do. Only the ones I can reasonably see have been mentioned here.

Summary

Adding the previous figures yields $1.15 million. Assuming the syndicate continues to foolishly fight me for another thirty years, the grand total of tax dollars lost will approach $7 million since they've fought me for at least six years and will then additionally fight me for five times longer. Understand that I've repeatedly offered to come to the table and negotiate with these criminals—something they have absolutely refused to do. If they were paying out of pocket instead of having an essentially infinite supply of taxpayer funding, they'd be singing a different tune. What I've offered the criminals is really a great deal for them for at least five reasons:

None of them have to admit any guilt.
None of them, therefore, will see the inside of a prison cell like they should.
All the fraudulent court records get to stay in place as they are, so they can all pretend they won.
I won't ever get the opportunity to be in front of a jury.....and thus crucify them all by exposing their crimes to the public and media, which I assure you, will be in full force at trial.
I will stop hammering the piss out of them.

I should also mention the dollars wasted at the expense of the Massachusetts taxpayers' backs on criminal-Michaud's salary. Rather than prosecuting him in 2018 for multiple felony violations when he was an attorney, the syndicate's "punishment" was to appoint him state judge and force the citizens of that state to waste over one million of their tax dollars to pay this criminal's salary.

Now for the knockout punch: based purely on empirical data, I can say, at the 95 percent confidence level with a 5 percent margin of error, that 92 percent of judges in Amerika are criminals. This translates into $2.3 billion tax dollars being tossed into the trashcan annually, based on a conservatively estimated $125,000 yearly salary for 18,000 judges—those who statistically act criminally of approximately 20,000 total—to commit crimes against us. It also translates into even more money being trashed for the benefit of government attorneys to defend them whenever they are sued for wrongdoing.....so they can continue victimizing others. If you do not like billions of your tax dollars being wasted each year, and you shouldn't, when only a small fraction would otherwise be necessary to prosecute these criminal offenders—Michaud in my case since the ongoing fiasco over the last decade would have ended years ago and without other judge-criminals committing crimes to cover for his—I urge you to contact your representatives in Congress and complain to them about it!

Should You Ask for a Court Filing Fee Waiver?

2026-02-22T19:26:33-08:00

One consideration people must make when fighting in our illustrious legal system is whether to proceed pro se, that is, without a lawyer. Another important choice to be made is whether to file any civil matter with a request for a fee waiver if you qualify. This second decision is the topic of this post.

For people receiving some sort of state aid—food, medical, housing, etc.—getting a fee waiver to file a civil court case is almost a given. One need typically only file an online form and send it to the syndicate. This is true at both the state and federal levels.

But in the federal syndicate—and possibly in some state syndicates—asking for and being granted the filing/service of process fee waiver allows the syndicate to flush your civil action before it ever gets out of the starting gate. There is plenty of case law related to this, which is based on 28 U.S. Code § 1915(e)(2)(B), but that’s beyond the scope of this post. The reasons to file or not to file under this statute are many and are discussed below.

If you want to all but ensure that you will be able to at least get to the point of serving the defendants in your case, then not filing under such a waiver should allow you to do so even if you qualify. Keep in mind, however, that the syndicate—U.S. federal court branch—may still try to “pull one over” on you. I know one person who wanted to be assured he would be able to serve a myriad of defendants in his case, so he paid the outrageous filing fee even though he easily qualified for proceeding in forma pauperis, as it’s called, because those same defendants were responsible for impoverishing him by stealing his home, retirement, and life savings in one fell swoop.

Despite all the supporting case law disallowing the syndicate from immediately dismissing his case, the criminals tried to do it anyway. The magistrate judge-criminal cited bogus case law and inapposite rules and other nonsense in order to try to flush the case illegally, which, incidentally, is obstruction of justice and is a felony. As so often happens, the syndicate will break all the rules and laws and see if the pro se litigant catches it. If he doesn’t, then the syndicate pockets a quick few hundred dollars and clears the docket of yet another annoying pro se litigant’s case.

In this instance, I helped this person and pointed out that the magistrate was full of sh!t and was attempting to wrongly dismiss the matter under false pretenses. After filing an objection, the syndicate restored the case; however, it managed to flush his case later for other unjustified reasons as was its intention all along. Regardless, the syndicate did manage to swindle several other self-represented litigants by using the highly improper attempted flushing of this person’s case as precedent to justify its thievery on other unsuspecting victims by taking their filing fees and then immediately flushing their cases. If you do not find this outrageous, then you clearly do not have a pulse.....or you are part of the syndicate, but if the latter is the case, then you would not likely be reading this post in the first place.

Another reason to pay the filing fee would be more of an altruistic one. Each segment of the syndicate is allowed a certain pool of money to allocate to the needy. Every dollar used in your case would theoretically not be available to some other poor person in that same district. Possibly another reason to pay the fee would be to demand that it be fully refunded if the syndicate refuses to follow its own rules and laws. The only time the syndicate follows its own rules and laws is when it’s convenient or when not doing so would otherwise hit one of its members in the wallet or the time clock. That’s it.

I know someone who paid the filing fee and is asking for a refund because of the rampant corruption he is experiencing in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circus. He has reached out to the U.S. Supreme Syndicate judge responsible for that district, Amy Coney Barrett. If everyone who has been victimized by the syndicate did this, it would then have a strong reason to actually follow its own rules and laws.

There are probably other reasons to pay filing fees, but let’s move on to the corollary: reasons not to pay. One good reason is to put the syndicate in a position in which it would have skin in the game. Some case law allows for the prepayment of filing and service of process fees, not a complete waiver, with the stipulation that if the litigant is successful with the suit, the syndicate is repaid its up-front costs. If syndicate members have any financial interest in a proceeding whatsoever, they should be far less likely to predetermine the outcome against you in cases concerning smaller sums.

When there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and someone on the other side bribes the judge an amount greater than the prepaid fees, then all bets are off. Again, the syndicate is motivated by two things: evil and money. If someone comes along with a more lucrative deal than yours, say goodbye to your case.

If your matter has reached the appellate level, one strong reason not to pay the filing fee is that you would essentially be helping the syndicate rob you otherwise. If you qualify for a fee waiver and ask the appellate syndicate for one, but it declines on the basis that your appeal is "frivolous," which the criminals love to claim with regard to the overwhelming majority of pro se litigants or any others it doesn't like, what they are essentially telling you is that they're going to flush your case no matter what. If you pay the outrageous fee, the minute the opposing party files anything—if not sooner—the syndicate will hit the reject button on your entire case, and it will be sayonara to your money.

Finally, one of the remaining reasons to ask for a fee waiver is to hammer the syndicate later. Whenever their online filing system is hosted by third-party software, which is almost universal these days, this makes it virtually impossible for them to cut off your access to online filing. Several providers exist nationally that provide electronic filing services for the syndicate: TrueFiling, Tyler Technologies, and more.

By applying for and receiving a fee waiver, I’ve been able to dox the syndicate with 10 to 15GB of data each day, and there’s not a damn thing they can do about it. If your lawsuit is illegally dismissed because of crime and corruption, having access to online filing will allow you to pummel these criminals into submission. Additionally, if I had not applied for the waiver, I would have wasted more than $1,000,000 to date in filing fees.

By the way, it is still possible to file electronically—and at no cost to you—without a fee waiver having been granted on an existing case if the filing software allows for new case generation along with the submission of an accompanying fee waiver. This is how I'm flooding the syndicate as stated earlier even though my "electronic filing privileges have been revoked." I really do not care. The syndicate is never going to let me litigate anyway. Once crime and corruption entered the picture, there's no way they'd let this happen. It's corrupt members will do everything they can to keep me away from a jury.

One thing I absolutely refuse to do—and I tell others this too—is pay criminals to commit crimes against me. Granted, our tax dollars are still being used to pay them to commit crimes.....and pay other government lawyers to protect them from suit so they can continue to victimize others, but at least you are not directly paying them to essentially punch you in the face.

If you think of other reasons to pay or not pay the filing and service of process fees, leave them in the comments below. I’ve covered the main ones here, but there may be other specialized reasons. Remember that we are waging a war against these criminals. Nobody is going to save us but ourselves, and the sooner we can unite behind one giant consolidated front, the better off we will all be as litigants who receive real justice.

New Laws in 2026

2026-01-25T15:47:37-08:00

Another year, another laundry list of new laws across the United States. Many address serious matters such as public safety, healthcare, education, and consumer protection. But every year, a handful of new laws stand out not because they are controversial or sweeping, but because they are downright strange when reduced to a headline. We are going to share some of the craziest ones below.

California leads the nation in laws that sound bizarre out of context.

Fortified Tortillas (AB 1264): Commercially sold corn masa flour (used for tortillas and tamales) must now be fortified with folic acid to reduce birth defects.
Cat Declawing Ban (AB 867): It is now illegal to declaw a cat statewide except for rare medical necessities. To animal welfare advocates, it’s a long overdue protection against an inhumane practice. To casual observers skimming a list of new laws, it reads like the government suddenly decided it needed to intervene in household pet grooming.
Rental Refrigerator Mandate (AB 628): In Los Angeles and across California, landlords are now legally required to provide and maintain a working refrigerator and stove in rental units, ending a long-standing L.A. tradition where renters often had to buy their own.
AI Disclosure: Large platforms must now explicitly disclose when a user is interacting with an AI chatbot.
Smartphone Restrictions: Public schools must adopt policies to limit or ban student smartphone use on campus by July 2026.

Utah, ID for Everyone

Mandatory ID Checks: In an effort to curb drunk driving, all customers in Utah restaurants and bars must now show identification before being served alcohol, regardless of their age.
"No Alcohol Sale" IDs: Individuals convicted of "extreme DUI" (BAC of 0.16%+) must surrender their standard licenses for a replacement with a prominent red stripe and the words "No Alcohol Sale."

Georgia, Patriotic Plates

"America First" License Plates: Georgia has introduced a new specialty license plate featuring the American flag and the words "America First." It costs $90 for the first year.

Hawaii, the Earth Tax

Climate Change Tourism Tax: Hawaii is the first state to implement a "Green Fee," a 0.75% daily room rate tax on tourist lodging specifically to fund climate resilience projects like beach replenishment.

Texas, Parental Consent for App Stores

In this state, new regulations surrounding age verification and parental consent for app stores have sparked intense debate. Critics say the law sounds like a dystopian overreach, while supporters frame it as child protection in a digital age. Either way, the idea of the government monitoring who can download apps has generated more than a few raised eyebrows.

Washington, Minimum Wage

Washington's minimum wage rose to $17.13 per hour, becoming the first state to exceed the $17 threshold.

Illinois, Job Protection

New parents with newborns in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) now have expanded job-protected leave.

Maine, Subscription Law

Maine now requires that canceling a subscription must be as easy as signing up for it.

Additionally, nine U.S. states have shopping cart laws in place, with hefty fees for breaking them. Shopping carts are a hot commodity according to statistics, with a shocking two million carts stolen on an annual basis. This costs U.S. retailers roughly $175 million in annual replacement and repair costs. With one shopping cart stolen every 90 seconds, according to Supermarket News, the widespread issue burdens stores with both financial and operational challenges. Consumers who steal shopping carts are often driven by factors such as personal use, convenience, resale and homelessness. They don’t always walk away unscathed, however, as three actions constitute illegal cart use and are subject to civil and criminal charges.

The rise of silly-sounding laws reflect how deeply government now reaches into daily life. As society becomes more complex, regulation follows. Lawmakers are no longer just setting tax rates and criminal penalties; they’re navigating food science, algorithms, consumer psychology, and cultural pluralism. That complexity makes modern lawmaking easier to parody and harder to explain.

Now, more than ever, Americans need to stay informed about and protected from our legal system, particularly with orders of magnitude more laws being introduced than repealed. One of the best ways to stay informed about is to read a copy of our book, Stack the Legal Odds in Your Favor, available in libraries nationwide, on Kindle Unlimited, and for purchase on our website. We've said for a long time that for every new law that gets added, more than one needs to be removed until the number of laws on the books is reduced to a reasonable number at which time it can be a one-for-one exchange of new laws coming in with those going out. As it is, there is significant overlap with innumerable laws in this country.
