Letter to Chief Judge of British Columbia

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013
 
Office of the Chief Judge of British Columbia
 
Mr. Chief Judge,

I am in receipt of the response penned by your boy Gene Jamieson.

He does not appear to have understood my complaint or who I complained about. He mentions ‘the Honourable Judge M. McKimm’. Never met the guy. I am complaining about the black robed dead beat Mayland McKimm who used his position of authority to knowingly and with absolute malice of forethought aid and abet crimes against me with his court.

The fairy tale is that we go to court for Justice. The poster of Justice Blindfolded, deaf and mute as a post in the lobby shows how laughable that contention is.

It is not that everyone in your court conspired to pervert the course of justice. The Right Honourable Judge Klinger put the kybosh on the plans to send me to prison for being the victim of RCMP grow operators committing crimes against me to protect their grow operations out past my mining claim on North Fork Road. But Judges Takahashi and Burdett also happily jumped on the band wagon to try to railroad me and between them and McKimm had me serve a sentence without trial or conviction.

After a protracted harassment campaign to drive me from my mining claim, RCMP Henry Proce had his informant Bruce Prebushewski try to murder my family in a drive by shooting. My wife and I know this because Henry mocked us about it and told us no one would ever do anything about it. He even mocked me as I was lead out of the court in chains and asked how the system was working for me. Bruce’s uncle Arne Gatzke also showed up the next day and told me his nephew Bruce did it.

Bruce Prebushewski has shot through another disabled persons home a few months ago and then a few weeks ago was arrested for being over twice the legal limit with a loaded rifle making death threats to his uncle. Being as how his grandfather is the local alderman who fully supports the grow operations being overseen by Henry Proce, needless to say Brucey is walking around free. Good work fellas. Yeah that’s what we pay you for.

After the attempt to murder us my disability worker cut off my disability cheque saying he was investigating the drive by shooting. I wanted to know how he even knew about it since it hadn’t even made the papers yet at that time. When he instead turned around and made phoney accusations about us, I wrote a letter of complaint about him to the Ombudsman about his suspicious knowledge of the drive by shooting. In short, I wrote a petition to my government for redress. For my pains, Sgt. Wendland had me arrested and charged with uttering threats because he ‘had his panties in a knot’. Seriously, check the transcripts where the arresting officer admits this on the stand in front of the Right Honourable Judge Klinger. The charges were laid to cover up my complaint. The Ombudsman said they would not investigate because the RCMP had charged me. Convenient.

When I then complained to the RCMP Complaints Commission about Wendland and Proce, Wendland and Proce simply turned around and laid more charges of uttering threats against me USING THE SAME EVIDENCE THEY USED IN THE FIRST CHARGE that was supposed to be evidence that I uttered threats to Pat Clemens and was somehow now two years later evidence that I had uttered threats to the police officers that were trying to cover up their informants attempt to murder us. Since that was the second set of charges and I was already charged of course I had to go to jail. The RCMP are well aware of how to manipulate the system to get away with their crimes.

Your Vernon court officers are crooked as Hell and readily aid and abet RCMP crimes and lies about the victims they drag into court. I was arrested the first time in order to prevent me from attending Supreme court to get my mining claims back. Since I was in jail, I sent my wife to represent me but they would not allow her to speak to the case saying it had been adjourned indefinitely by mutual consent. Whose consent? Neither I, nor my wife consented to it. I was not given a bail hearing. Duty Counsel Bill Furman appointed himself my counsel against my wishes and had a private ex parte hearing with JP Dalene Krenz instead. They sent my wife and daughter upstairs to sit and wait in court all day for my hearing and left me in a prison cell. My wife and daughter left at the end of the day wondering why I did not have a hearing.

After nearly a month I finally managed to get a bail hearing. Ever heard of the JIR? Ask Gene about it and he will tell you that I am supposed to have a bail hearing within three days. Unfortunately a friend put up some money for a lawyer who was a dead beat and I believe decided to conspire with the Crown. She grabbed two thousand dollars of my funds for a bail hearing in which she did nothing to defend me or protest the allegations against me. I should never have had to put up any money for bail, should never have been under house arrest and above all, should never had my charter right to freedom of speech limited, especially without the benefit of a trial or conviction. Of such despotism rebellions are made. Judge McKimm simply granted everything the Crown Prosecutor Pontius, who did nothing but lie his face off, asked for.

While I was under house arrest, CRA seized my disability cheque. That is not legal and is outright theft, a criminal code violation against us that left myself and my disabled wife in the high alpine fifty miles from our nearest neighbour without even the basic necessities of life. I believe this attack was initiated by Proce. CRA files obtained under FOIA show that while he had me in jail and court under phoney charges that he was telling CRA lies about us. They did give us our money back when public outrage and many phone calls to them forced them to give it back. But I went to jail for making the video about the crimes being committed against us.

Vernon RCMP threaten TerraceDaily.ca with law suit for publishing Jim Townsend articles

by Arthur Topham
RadicalPress reporter

RadicalPress.com Editor and Publisher Arthur Topham received word today from the Terrace Daily’s Editor/Publisher Merv Ritchie that he received an email Thursday, March 1, 2012 from Cst. J.A. (Justin) Fradette, General Investigation Section-Rural, Vernon/North Okanagan RCMP Detachment informing him that two articles by Jim and Judith Townsend that were posted on the RadicalPress.com website and subsequently posted on the TerraceDaily.ca site should be removed from the TerraceDaily.ca website.

Cst. Fradette’s thinly veiled threat that a potential civil law suit for “libel” could be forthcoming should Ritchie not comply with the RCMP’s “respectful request” to silence the Townsend case, one that is gaining more public attention thanks to the recent FREE JIM TOWNSEND campaign initiated by RadicalPress publisher Topham and now circulating through the alterative and social media via sites such as Facebook, does not bode well for Canada’s red coats.

Cst. Justin Fradette’s email reads:

Justin FRADETTE justin.fradette@rcmp-grc.gc.ca :

To Whom it May Concern,

I am writing in regards to two articles that were posted on your website www.terracedaily.ca on February 28th, 2012; the articles are titled “RCMP COMPLAINT AGAINST CPL HENRY PROCE AND SGT DAN WENDLAND” and “OPEN LETTER TO RCMP COMMISSIONER BOB PAULSON“.

The author(s) of the articles make some very serious allegations that are currently the subject of a criminal investigation.  There is also potential that as a result of these articles, and other items posted on the internet by the same authors, that a civil suit for libel may be forthcoming.

It is respectfully requested that the two articles be removed from your website.  If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me,

Cst. J.A. (Justin) Fradette

Vernon/North Okanagan RCMP Detachment
3402 – 30 Street Vernon, B.C. V1T 5E5

When asked by RadicalPress what he intended to do about this intimidating harassment and assault on the free press by the Vernon detachment Ritchie replied:

“I do not get threatened and run.   I stand firm.

The BC Gov’t threatened us too,

Here was my response after I posted the RCMP request as a comment at the end of the articles, still up, and likely to remain up.”

Thank you for this note,

Would you be able to comment on this matter?

Why was Mr. Jim Townsend arrested as he was entering the Courthouse to attend and defend on a related matter?

I understand he is currently incarcerated in Kamloops.

Are you able to advise of the charges against him?

While thus far Topham hasn’t heard from Cst. Fraudette a similar threat is no doubt expected. What is evident though is the fact that the RCMP are behaving in the same arrogant, underhanded and haughty manner that they tend to always do whenever a spotlight is shone on their dark and sinister activities and embarrassing questions are asked along with demands for honest answers.

The fact that Jim Townsend and his wife Judith have followed the legal guidelines throughout their ordeal and wrote reasoned and logical letters to the RCMP Complaints Commission and elsewhere detailing how they’ve been railroaded and robbed only to be shrugged off and dismissed and denigrated and vilified by government ministry representatives and the RCMP as well as the msm is an outrageous travesty of justice by those supposedly hired to “serve and protect”. Serve and protect whom might be a better way to state it.

Then, on top of all this gross misconduct and cover-up, this same falsely accused victim, Jim Townsend, is jailed for alleged crimes he didn’t commit without even a trial while at the same time the RCMP have outright failed to investigate and resolve a REAL AND DEADLY SERIOUS CRIME OF ATTEMPTED MURDER that occurred when a drive-by shooting took place at the home of Jim and Judith Townsend and rifle bullets blasted through the walls of their small motor home while they and their young son were sleeping inside.

Those are the sorts of answers that Superintendent Reg Burgess, Officer in Charge of the Vernon/North Okanagan Detachment ought to be furnishing the media with rather than attempting to shut down any stories that aim at exposing all the questionable tactics that have thus far been observed in this ongoing criminal treatment of two innocent Canadians whose only crime has been to tell the truth.

It’s no damn wonder that the local members of the Vernon detachment are being spat upon and bit on the legs these days if this is the sort of behaviour they intend to display whenever they don’t like what a citizen has to say.

Stay tuned folks. This story is growing legs and will continue to address this serious case of injustice until Jim Townsend is freed from prison and the real criminals take his place.
