Aaron Swartz's Suicide and Blame

Parents and attorneys blame the US Attorney in Boston for the suicide of Aaron Swartz (see below stories). They say it was a wrongful or malicious prosecution. Is this unique? What about the four white men prosecuted for a murder they did not commit? They were targeted by special agents of the Boston office of the FBI who knew they were innocent; and allowed one of their charming informants, Joseph “The Animal” Barbooza, to lie under oath to get the convictions. The four innocent men were sentenced to death. Two of the men Henry Tameleo, Louis Greco, died in prison after the death penalty was repealed in Massachusetts. Two, Joe Salvati and Peter Limone,  were released after 30 years. Why weren't the prosecutors and the FBI agents vilified in the media? It 's not that I disagree with the lamentations of the parents and attorneys, but I just don't understand the differences.

When US Attorneys in Boston refused to protect witnesses who reported crimes by Boston Irish American crime boss, James "Whitey" Bulger, why weren't they vilified? Bulger awaiting trial 20 years later, allegedly murdered 19 people, some of those who sought FBI protection. One of those US Attorneys went on to be Governor of Massachusetts. Others became US Judges. What about the hundreds if not thousands of young men (and women?) who are prosecuted, convicted and put into prison for crimes they did not commit? Because they did not kill themselves no officials are vilified and blamed for the harms done to the individuals and to their families? What about the many young men and women who kill themselves after being arrested and held for arraignment? One woman petitioned the Cambridge police for years to learn why her son  killed himself in a city holding cell. The police were uncooperative.

At least all of them were extended due process protections including Mr. Swartz. They knew the charges against them and were able to defend themselves in a court with attorneys who helped them defend themselves. Swartz had a woman friend who assisted him.

For 40 years so far government thugs and private yahoos conducted and conduct relentless character assassination followed by punishment for the allegations. Local police and FBI informants participate with the absence of Notice, no Due Process, no Trial. Just non stop harassment. Many of the charming omniscient Harvard University students and their delightful campus cops join in. Some encourage me to kill myself. I refuse to do them or their employers the favor of ending my life. It costs them money and manpower to continue the criminal abuses and to cover up their crimes.

They disturb my sleep every day every two hours sometimes every one hour. Sometimes they keep me awake for 8 hours when I try to sleep. They put drugs in my foods contrary to law. Psychiatrists and psychologists employ sophisticated techniques to try to provoke violence and to make me insane. They use Communists who work with crime families to try to cause me to have a heart attack or a stroke. Local and state politicians join in the abuses.

So why is Aaron Swartz's suicide a higher priority than all of the other government abuses? The current US Attorney General and the President ignore the Constitution violating their oaths of offices. They enforce laws in a racist manner and yet they are praised by journalists and their colleagues among the elected criminal class. But also why the focus on the US Attorney? Why not on the criminal politicians who allegedly wrote the laws? Is the problem that these spineless egoists who run for office have no clue about what is in the bills that they make into laws? The monster (2700 pages) health care bill was passed into law without any of the 535 members of Congress or the President having read it. The so called fiscal cliff bill passed into law on January 1, 2013 was also unread and un-scrutinized. Politicians regularly pass laws which they have no time or interest to read. Journalists blame the officials who are paid, whose job it is to enforce those laws? Never mind the generalities passed into law allowing unelected bureaucrats to make the details up which often are counterproductive and lead to unintended consequences like suicide. Is this a public relations effort by the crime family which Bulger ran to discredit the US Attorney who is prosecuting him for homicides? Ever notice how so many journalists coincidently are now focused on one alleged mistake by a US prosecutor?

But for me the beat goes on every day  24/7, 365, and 366 on leap years. When one of the psychopaths get burned out from tormenting a white male with a legal disability over 60 years they bring in fresh blood and start it all over again and again. Always a psychopath or a cop or a superintendent disturbing my sleep tampering with US Mail, telephones and computer communications. Most of the time the primary harassers are from the three high priority victim groups. Black people, women and homosexuals. They even use illegal aliens on occasion. That is how crime families work to defer accountability. Black people are victims, and they are moral people. Women are victims, and moral people. Homosexuals are victims, and moral. They would not attack a vulnerable person. A white male? They are all guilty. Who sets the priorities? Who determines what laws get enforced and who gets prosecuted? Who decides who is allowed Due Process and who is allowed to defend themselves? Who decides who gets used as a human subject for medical research without consent?

Government psychiatrists working at prominent universities drugged me in 1973, using hallucinogens for 80 consecutive days without consent. They broadcast three cover stories for what they did. "He's a drug addict." "He had a nervous breakdown." "Teenagers put PCP in marijuana." That effectively ended any chance for a life. For the next 39 years police, crime families, FBI, Communists, did whatever they wanted to do, including but not limited to trying to kill me and trying to get me to kill myself. Relentless character assassination, and harassment. Were any of these psychiatrists vilified in the media? 

In 1990 after I wrote to two local chiefs of police complaining about police harassment, the Cambridge, MA police arrested me, and held me for 78 days contrary to law. The lawyers paid to defend me were also paid not to defend me. A woman I dated for three months when I was a student in law school and her FBI  informant husband broadcast relentless character assassination for 30 years saying "He's a retired drug dealer." That was joined by FBI character assassination, "He's a racist." Ah yes. A racist drug dealer in New York. "I'm sorry. I only sell to white people." Yea. Uh Huh. And there is much more to tell. Aaron, you rest in  peace. You hear?
