Memes is just a fancy word for ideas, and the recognition of their power.<br><br>We know the history and future of the world is about ideas, and the selection of which ideas have value, which ideas get exposure, which ideas when applied lead to a better life. <br><br>I may have read some Dawkins many years ago, but I have read a lot over my years, and still I feel not enough. To accuse my thinking of being controlled because I use  word coined by an author, is a bit silly. <br><br>To your point, I believe in the basic christian values. The 10 commandments make rational sense. Most religions have some great values. What you say about principles has a lot of merit, christian principles, jewish principles, muslim and buddhist principles all have positive upside when applied. <br><br>What I object to is the power of religion (or facism or socialism) over people because the very structure of these belief systems says anything outside of the belief system is wrong, bad, evil, etc. This world view even if initiated from a positive source, leads to intolerance, and fear. If a Pastor or Priest who is essentially a good spirtual person gets up and says \"homosexuality is evil\", or \"don't use condoms, just abstain from sex until marriage\", or \"support the Iraq war\",  or \"white is black\", people who have heard other positive messages from that Pastor will blend that right in with what they believe. Why? because the Pastor \"knows God's intent\", and \"God says so\", and according to many religions if you don't follow \"God's word\", you will \"go to hell\". And the people will reinforce these beliefs throught the flock. <br><br>When you talk about humanists and what is immoral, you are getting a bit high and mighty, which is what I expect from so called religious folks. To think about all of the bloodshed from people in power that used religion as a cover for other very immoral agendas... we don't<br> have time to list them all. From the Crusades to the Taliban it is all the same.<br><br>If you look at the the Judiasm, Christianity and Islam, many of the core principles and values are the same, and they are postive values for living. Then why are people who should have the positive beliefs killing each other for eternity? <br><br>They are killing each other because people in power are using their people's religious devotion for their own immoral agendas.<br><br>I don't think your quote \"Libertarian notions of live-and-let-live\" is the crux of Libertarian ideas, but it seems a good idea to me. What do you propose, \"live-and-let-die\"? Because to be honest I think \"live-and-let-die\" is the reality of the hate I see spewed by people who call themselves Christians and fundamentalists of most religions.<br><br>If you \"don't believe in god, you will go to hell\", is an idea which is dehumanising. Even worse is \"if you don't believe in my brand of god you will...\".<br><br>I don't need a god to tell me to not covet or kill, I think most of us know good from bad. If you think that Christians or any religious folk are more moral than other folk you are deceiving yourself.<br><br>Indeed, if you have a rational belief based on your experience which is truly yours, I think that is much more powerful for to to uphold than spoon fed beliefs from a powerful source. In the \"religious\" case once you doubt some of the beliefs or the source you doubt everything. How many \"spriritual leaders\" in this country have been outed as the nastiest, greediest, most morally decrepit scum? Quite a few. Other non-religious people are morally bankrupt too. Even libertarians. :)<br><br>There is a reason why our founding fathers embdeded into our Consttution the important idea of separation of church and state, and I am grateful for it.<br><br>Our founding fathers also envisioned a less powerful central government than we have allowed to posses us over the years, as other posters have pointed out.", "is_last_child": true, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-07-10_22:13:41", "killed": false, "user_key": "libertyandfreedom", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "4 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": 12482462, "depth": 2, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "12634119": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "You're right.

It is the duty of every good citizen, knowing of a treason or felony having been committed to inform a magistrate. Silently to observe the commission of a felony, without using any endeavors to apprehend the offender, is a misprision.<br>Misprisions which are merely positive, are denominated contempts or high misdemeanors; as, for example, dissuading a witness from giving evidence. <br>Defendant Gray Miller's MISPRISION OF FELONY - Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the U.S., conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the U.S. 18 USC.

Miller possessed obviously available information that Miller was a nominee / appointee of President G.W. Bush to Miller\u2019s position of U.S. District Court Judge. <br>. 8.\u00a0  Miller possessed obviously available information from the Caption (See Appendix 1, appended herein) in Plaintiff\u2019s case H-08-60 that President G.W. Bush was named as an \u201cinterested Party\u201d in Plaintiff\u2019s case H-08-60. <br>. 9.\u00a0Miller possessed obviously available information that Plaintiff\u2019s Case H-08-60 named in the caption former U.S. Attorney General Gonzales (a Bush nominated / appointed U.S. Attorney General) and was informed that Plaintiff\u2019s Case H-08-60 named, in the caption (See Appendix 1, appended herein), a substantial number of Bush nominated / appointed Cabinet Secretaries as \u201cInterested Parties.\u201d <br>. 10.\u00a0Miller possessed obviously available information of \u201cUSC Title 28, Section 455 - Disqualification of justice, judge, or magistrate judge (a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.\u201d <br>. 11.\u00a0 \u201cThe thing speaks for itself\u201d (Res Ips Loquitor) that USC Title 28, Section 455 was clearly applicable or, at least, of question for Miller in Plaintiff\u2019s Case H-08-60. <br>. 12.\u00a0\u201cThe thing speaks for itself\u201d (Res Ips Loquitor) that Miller did not query the Judicial Council of the Fifth Judicial Circuit to ask an opinion regarding Miller\u2019s plans to commandeer jurisdiction as President Bush\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9, nominee / appointee, to\u00a0 expropriate jurisdiction of Plaintiff\u2019s Case H-08-60 away from other U.S. District Court judges who were \u201cNOT\u201d prot\u00e9g\u00e9s, nominees, or appointees of President G.W. Bush and were not linked as nominees / appointees of the U.S. Executive Branch Culture of Torture that has provably worked to destroy the lives of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War. \u201cThe thing speaks for itself\u201d (Res Ips Loquitor).\u00a0 <br>. 13.\u00a0Plaintiff\u2019s complaint focuses on several basic areas regarding said unlawfully expropriated decision of Miller to take jurisdiction away from other better qualified U.S. judges despite Miller\u2019s obvious \u201cconflict of interest\u201d disqualification under 28 USC, Section 455, before Miller issued decisions in Case-08-60. <br>.14.\u00a0Miller took jurisdiction by snaking around the proscriptions of 28 USC, Section 455 and surreptitiously not notifying Plaintiffs of his identification as a Bush nominee / appointee; and, Miller took jurisdiction by not querying the Judicial Council of the Fifth Judicial Circuit to determine its opinion on Miller\u2019s decision to take jurisdiction when there were numerous valid questions against Miller taking jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 fully informed he was a Bush nominee / appointee and disqualified under Title 28, Section 455 prior to taking jurisdiction. <br>. 15.\u00a0 Furthermore, Miller did not take jurisdiction under verification or sworn oath that he was not subject to disqualification under Title 28, Section 455, or under verification or sworn oath that he was not acting outside his ministerial and discretionary scope in conflict as a Bush Nominee / Appointee. <br>\u00a0. 16.\u00a0  The information of Case H-08-60 explained that part of Plaintiffs\u2019 litigation of Case H-08-60 was seeking and offering rewards of $25 Million (See Appendix 2 and also see <a href=\"http://kristianmenchaca.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://kristianmenchaca.com/</a>) expected to come from jury verdicts in Case H-08-60 on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. In conjunction with information of Case H-08-60, Plaintiffs were offering rewards of $25 Million on the internet (See Appendix 2) linked to litigation of Case H-08-60 in efforts to save the lives of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty who were facing mutilation, torture, and death in Iraq . <br>. 17.\u00a0Miller ignored the plight of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty when he snaked around the proscriptions of USC Title 28, Section 455 and wrongfully took jurisdiction apparently focused on dismissing Plaintiffs\u2019 Case H-08-60 against his mentor, Bush, and his mentor\u2019s Attorneys General and Cabinet Secretaries. <br>. 18.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller denied Plaintiffs\u2019 Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 on 25 Feb 2008; and, Plaintiffs never received information of Miller\u2019s said denial from the Court Clerk. Miller\u2019s said \u201cDenial\u201d was issued outside his Ministerial and Discretionary scope by reason of the facts indicating he was not qualified to take jurisdiction because he was disqualified pursuant to 28 USC, Section 455 in his \u201cConflict of Interest.\u201d <br>. 19.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s wrongful denial of 25 Feb 2008 thereby had catastrophic consequences for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty --\u00a0 who Miller ignored when he issued his denial, which had the effect of allowing unchallenged continuance of said U.S. Executive Branch issued \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards,\u201d effectively motivating Terrorists to mutilate, torture, and murder captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in \u201cWar Crime\u201d violations of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977 as further explained, herein. <br>. 20.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Linked to Miller\u2019s Denial and bizarre refusal to address the life and death issues of Case H-08-60 and Miller instead focus on the $450 filing fee marks Miller and reveals his unbalanced state of mind in that he focused on trivia while the lives of three captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War hung in the balance endangered by Miller\u2019s Denial and delays of Case H-08-60. <br>. 21.\u00a0\u00a0 Miller, by taking jurisdiction outside his ministerial and discretionary scope as disqualified under 28 Section 455 and by wrongfully denying Plaintiffs\u2019 life saving efforts of Case H-08-60 on 25 Feb 2008, Miller effectively removed any lawful potential for change in said U.S. Executive Branch issued \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards.\u201d <br>. 22.\u00a0\u00a0 Thus, Miller, disqualified under Title 28, Section 455 and then acting in his Private Persona, issued an unlawful denial in Case H-08-60 which prevented Case H-08-60 from going forward to make life saving efforts on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, and Pvt. Byron W.

Keith Maupin was recovered in Iraq on 30 March 2008, and the bodies of Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were recovered on 09 July 2008. <br>. 25.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The fact that Miller acted in the above described manner indicates Miller is unbalanced in his mental abilities to recognize that there is a profound difference between life and death issues compared to the trivia of his emphasis on the $450 filing fee. <br>\u00a0. 26.\u00a0 In conformance with 5th Cir. R., Plaintiff is not disputing Miller\u2019s wrongful denial of Plaintiffs\u2019 Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 even though Miller\u2019s denial should have no standing. Plaintiff MacKenzie is pointing out the obvious conditions that existed before Miller took wrongful jurisdiction and issued his wrongful Denial. <br>\u00a0. 27.\u00a0\u00a0 It should be noted that there are four family Plaintiffs listed in Case H-08-60. Julieta Vasquez-MacKenzie the Aunt of Kristian Menchaca is unemployed, without funds, and should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not \u201cU.S. Judge Gray Miller\u201d).\u00a0 <br>\u00a0. 28.\u00a0\u00a0 Cesar Menchaca, brother of Kristian Menchaca is unemployed, without funds, and should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not \u201cU.S. Judge Gray Miller\u201d). <br>\u00a0\u00a0. 29.\u00a0 Maria Guadalupe Vasquez, mother of Christian Menchaca, under employed based on her economic condition, should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not \u201cU.S. Judge Gray Miller\u201d). <br>\u00a0.30.\u00a0\u00a0 Kenneth MacKenzie was allowed to proceed in U.S. District Court to U.S. Supreme Court twice under his current economic profile in U.S. Supreme Court cases 95-9090 and 97-7616, yet was denied Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 in Miller\u2019s denial of 25 Feb 2008, by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not \u201cU.S. Judge Gray Miller\u201d)..\u00a0\u00a0 <br>. 31.\u00a0Plaintiffs\u2019 filed Case H-08-60 seeking orders to make rewards equally available to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War; and, Plaintiffs sought damages to be paid by Defendant Gonzales to the Vasquez Menchaca family, while listing several \u201cInterested Parties\u201d including Bush as possible Defendants should investigation indicate they were culpable in the wrongful death of Plaintiffs\u2019 family member, PFC Kristian Vasquez Menchaca, who was captured by Terrorist insurgents, during June 2006, together with PFC Thomas Tucker in Yosifiya, Iraq and both barbarically tortured to death largely as a consequence said discriminatory \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d broadcast by the U.S. government after their surrender / capture (not before surrender / capture).\u00a0\u00a0 <br>. 32.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plaintiffs\u2019 complaint is that Judge Gray Miller wrongfully took jurisdiction of this Case H-08-60 in disregard of Title 28, Section 455; and, after taking jurisdiction, Miller\u2019s Denial of Plaintiffs\u2019 Application to Proceed Without Payment was made outside Miller\u2019s ministerial and discretionary scope and made in a condition that was a violation of Title 28, Section 455 regarding Case H-08-60. <br>\u00a0. 33.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In retrospect of Miller taking jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, after the facts are considered that former Attorney General Gonzales is listed as a Defendant, President Bush\u2019s name is listed as a \u201cPARTY,\u201d and a large number of Bush Cabinet Secretary appointees are listed as \u201cInterested Parties\u201d in H-08-60, why did Judge Miller not \u201cdo what is easy\u201d and simply allow another judge who was not a Bush nominee / appointee take jurisdiction of H-08-60? The obvious answer to the obvious answer is that Miller obviously was obviously motivated by some interest to protect his Mentor, G.W. Bush and his several Cabinet Secretaries from facing the unpleasant prospect of answering for their structured and minipulated U.S. \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d against captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War that targeted them after capture motivating the very same Terrorist groups who were beneficiaries of life saving Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards to mutilate, torture, and murder \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019\u2026\u201d targeted U.S. soldiers ruthlessly denied \u201cFourteenth Amendment\u201d equality of Terrorist life saving Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards that proveably saved the lives of all 100% of Terrorists who surrendered in Iraq, while U.S. \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d ruthlessly targeted and motivated the mutilation, torture, and murder of all 100% of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War in Iraq, said Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar life Rewards contrasting to \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d and thereby illustrating a relentlessly targeted low life value to captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War in criminal violation of Geneva Conventions and also in criminal violation of the U.S.RICO Act and U.S. Treason Act by encouraging and motivating Terrorist organization enemies of the United States (whose members benefitted after surrender by said Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards that motivated their Iraqi Sunni and Shiite and Kurdish captors not to mutilate, torture and murder them after capture) to mutilate, torture, and murder all 100% of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War. <br>. 34.\u00a0\u00a0 From Petitioners\u2019 common sense point of view in this matter, Judge Gray Miller appears to be mentally disabled, or worse, which indicates he may be as mentally disabled as those in the U.S. Executive Branch whose life destroying reward policies he appears to support.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br>. 35.\u00a0\u00a0 Judge Gray Miller\u2019s decision to take jurisdiction of Plaintiffs\u2019 U.S. District Court Case H-08-60, Houston, after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as Defendant (Gonzales was a President-G.W.-Bush-appointee, like Miller), after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing as \u201cInterested-Parties,\u201d\u00a0 members of the U.S. Executive Branch selected by Bush, and after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing President G.W. Bush as an \u201cInterested Party,\u201d President G.W. Bush being the very same party who had nominated Miller to his decision-making position as District Court judge, Miller wrongfully took \u201cconflict-of-interest\u201d jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 when it was flooded with \u201cInterested Parties,\u201d including President Bush, whose presence in Case H-08-60 indicated an \u201cextreme-conflict-of-interest\u201d should Miller take jurisdiction of Case H-08-60. <br>. 36.\u00a0\u00a0 SEE: \u201cUSC Title 28, Section 455.

Keith Maupin\u2019s life by Plaintiffs\u2019 seeking higher $25 Million Dollar \u2018Fourteenth Amendment Equal\u2019 Rewards on behalf of\u00a0 \u201cTerrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u201d who were apparently evaluated as \u201cUndermen\u201d by the Miller-supported U.S. Executive Branch at $50,000 Dollar \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward, each. <br>. 58.\u00a0\u00a0 Hence, Miller\u2019s denial in \u201cconflict of interest,\u201d outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under \u201cUSC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona on Plaintiffs\u2019 \u201cApplication to Proceed Without Payment of Fee,\u201d on 25 Feb 2008, effectively interfered with and blocked Plaintiffs\u2019 Case-H-08-60-sought \u201cFourteenth-Amendment-EQUAL-To-Terrorists\u201d $25 Million life-saving Rewards on behalf of\u00a0 \u201cTerrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u201d; and, Miller thereby corruptly and criminally denied the \u201cU.S. Bush White House $50,000-Dollar-\u2018Death-Sentence\u2019-Reward-targeted Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty an \u201cequal chance\u201d to be $25 Million \u201cReward-equal\u201d to terrorist enemies of the United States during wartime. Essentially, in bad faith and conflict of interest, Miller deliberately, corruptly and criminally, with malice aforethought, expropriated jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 apparently with the premeditated purpose of murderously denying \u201cTerrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u201d the possibility of \u201cequal\u201d life saving Rewards of $25 Million that had already proven to save the lives of 100% of all Terrorists who had surrendered in Iraq. <br>. 59.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s murderously treasonable denial of Case H-08-60 efforts to save \u201cU.S. Bush White House $50,000-Dollar-\u2018Death-Sentence\u2019-Reward-targeted Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty from the treasonable effects of the \u201cU.S. Bush White House $50,000-Dollar-\u2018Death-Sentence\u2019-Rewards clearly revealed Miller\u2019s murderous Treason against the soldiers and national defense of the United States that is outside Miller\u2019s ministerial and discretionary scope, which proveably indicates Miller must be impeached and prosecuted for his murders and treasons against the people and military personel of the United States.\u00a0 <br>. 60.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller premeditatedly taking jurisdiction, when Title 28 Section 455 clearly indicated he should recuse himslef, shows that Miller intended to issue denials that would treasonably cost the lives of \u201cTerrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u201d as Bush\u2019s and Miller\u2019s record clearly illustrates. Said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty \u2013 were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br>. 61.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The facts indicate that Miller had information that indicated \u201cU.S. $50,000-Dollar-\u2018Death-Sentence\u2019-Rewards had targeted Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, before Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60. Miller took jurisdiction that was not his to take by snaking around Title 28, Section 455 and issuing denials against Plaintiffs\u2019 efforts to save the lives of said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty \u2013 who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br>. 62.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Should another U.S. District Court judge, instead of Miller, have taken jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 and allowed $25 Million dollar Rewards in defiance of the Bush U.S. Executive Branch $50K Death Rewards, it would be almost impossible for the Bush U.S. Executive Branch to appeal in front of the public as at that perticular juncture the Bush Administration would be then be publicly recognized as appealing to restore its treasonably low $50,000 Death Sentence Rewards to continue motivating Terrorists to mutilate, torture, and murder \u201cTerrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u201d as contrasted alongside Bush-Gonzales-Rice $25 Million dollar Rewards for terrorists, which said $25 Million dollar Rewards if allowed for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War would be 14th Amendment Equal and thereby would create higher potential to save the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War. <br>\u00a0. 63.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller was informed of this and instead elected to corruptly expropriate jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 when other U.S. District Court Judges could have been assigned to Case H-08-60 had Miller not expropriated Case H-08-60 for his own wrongful decision making process, which directly and indirectly aided and abbeted life destroying Terrorism against said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty \u2013 who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War. <br>. 64.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller was informed that such an Executive Branch Appeal would reveal the U.S. Executive Branch had been committing furtive and surruptitious life-destroying Treason against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Title 18 US Code once the Appeal was seen alongside the body count of $50,000 Death Sentence U.S. soldiers in the light of Public Opinion. <br>. 65.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Moreover, the tortured bodies of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller\u2019s Treasons in denying them right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. provided to Terrorists would also expose Miller\u2019s U.S. Code Treasons against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War as Miller had operated his U.S. Code Treason violations when he administratively and judicially murdered Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty by means of his said denials in Case H-08-60. Whle \u201cmurder\u201d appears to be a strong term, this stronng term murder is exactly what was inflicted on captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller\u2019s Treasons in denying U.S. soldier Prisoners of War right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. provided to Terrorists by Miller\u2019s mentally unbalanced behavior of Miller insisting that a $450 Court fee was more important than the lives of said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty \u2013 who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards. <br>. 66.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s denial of Plaintiffs\u2019 Case H-08-60 effectively identified Miller as an \u201cAnti-American\u201d judge issuing \u201cAuschwitz-type\u201d judicial decisions in support of \u201cAuschwitz-type\u201d U.S. Attorney Generals and \u201cTreasonable U.S. Executive Branch Secretaries\u201d that produced \u201cAuschwitz-type\u201d \u2018Death-Sentences\u2019 against \u201cTerrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War.\u201d <br>. 67.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is not hyperbole to say \u201cCain slew Able\u201d; and, Miller slew Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, by means of denying Case H-08-60 Plaintiffs\u2019 efforts to proceed. While it is obvious that Miller\u2019s judicial denial of Plaintiffs\u2019 Case H-08-60 did relate to the Terrorist murders of Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, and was both indirect and direct, this condition does not make Miller\u2019s slaying of Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez any less truthful. <br>. 68.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Miller\u2019s Forma Pauperis denial interfered with Plaintiffs\u2019 Case H-08-60 efforts to increase U.S. Reward amounts to $25 Million each for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War and on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller\u2019s Treasons in denying Maupin\u2019s, Fouty\u2019s, and Jimenez\u2019s Fourteenth Amendment right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars already bestowed to Terrorists by Attorney Generals Ashcroft, Gonzales, and Mukaysey, said\u00a0 $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars having been criminally and treasonably denied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez by Attorney General Ashcroft, Attorney General Gonzales, Sectretaries Rice & Rumsfeld denying $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars, then later treasonably denied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez sucessively by Attorney General Mukaysey, Secretary Rice, and Gates. <br>. 69.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s wrongful expropriation of Case H-08-60 and refusal to recuse himself indicates \u201cthe thing speaks for itself (\u2018Res Ips Loquitor\u2019),\u201d a Pattern of behavior by Miller that incorporates the same manipulation of \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d that Miller continued when he ignored the fact that he was a Bush Nominee / Appointee, and concealed from Plaintiffs the fact that he was a Bush Nominee, who most wrongfully ignored USC Title 28, Section 455, and wrongfully took jurisdiction which was outside Miller\u2019s Ministerial and Discretionary scope according to the provisions of\u00a0 USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby Miller issuing Miller\u2019s denial in Case H-08-60 that effectively blocked Plainfiffs; and, furthermore, following from Miller\u2019s denial, the U.S. Court Clerk did not notify Plaintiffs in a timely manner by certified U.S. Mail regarding these most important \u201clife-and-death\u201d issues as Miller\u2019s Denial applied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez. The Clerk\u2019s notification by regular U.S. mail proved to be inadequate as Plaintiffs never received any word of Millers denial until Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie contacted the Clerk in June 2008 to determine if the Court charged for issuance of Summons.<br> . 70.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s entire pattern of conduct from his wrongful expropriation of  Case H-08-60 to his predictable \u201cDenial\u201d of \u201cPlaintiffs\u2019 Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)\u201d indicates that Miller had decided to subordinate the \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d considerations to the even lower amount of a $450 filing fee for Case H-08-60 before he wrongfully expropriated jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 to\u00a0\u00a0manipulate his wrongful denial of Plaintiffs efforts to proceed to a speedy trial and hearing.\u00a0 <br>. 71.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Before unlawfully usurping\u00a0 and expropriating jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, Miller apparently premeditated a criminal plan whereby after wrongfully expropriating jurisdiction, Miller ignored and furthermore trivialized Case H-08-60 by criminally subordinating the life and death reward issue considerations of the U.S. Executive Branch \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d offers to Miller\u2019s even lower criminal amount of a $450 filing fee for Case H-08-60 requiring a $450 filing fee to be paid before Miller would consider the fact that captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez -- in Iraq would be murdered by their Terrorist Captors while Miller trivialized their lives at an even lower amount of a $450 Court filing fee compared to \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d. <br>. 72.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While there were several ways said $450 Court filing fee for Case H-08-60 could have been processed or handled, Miller manipulatively and unecessarily selected the single condition that created the most delay and liklihood of mutilation, torture, and \u201ccertain-murder\u201d against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez \u2013 by Miller selectively denying \u201cPlaintiffs\u2019 Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)\u201d for Case H-08-60, which sought to change the Bush Executive Branch \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War to become equal to higher life-saving Rewards of $25 Million that Bush\u2019s Executive Branch was offering and paying to save lives of surrendered terrorists and \u201cat large\u201d terrorists from April 2004 through 09 July 2008 and to the present time, but was treasonably denying to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War unto torture, mutilation and murder prohibited by Geneva Convention III of 1949 and The Geneva Protocols of 1977. <br>.73.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plaintiffs\u2019 Case H-08-60 set forth higher life-saving Rewards of $25 Million each for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u00a0 -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez \u2013 that Miller treasonably denied as equal $25 Million dollar rewards to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u00a0 -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez --\u00a0 while Miller was actively and deliberately in violation of USC Title 28, Section 455 and thereby acting outside of his Ministerial and Discretionary scope. <br>. 74.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When the overall pattern of Miller\u2019s behavior is examined, from the time prior to his wrongful taking\u00a0jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, in conflict as a Bush appointee surruptitiously not informing Plaintiffs, a Bush appointee denying captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u00a0 -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez \u2013 the $25 Million Dollar Rewards sought by Plaintiffs in Case H-08-60, it is most apparent that Miller intended to insure that the White House Reward Treasons against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War would continue to motivate terrorist enemies of the United States to inflict mutilation, torture, and murder against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, whose Reward life values had obviously been slandered and defamed by \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d to the \u201clowest life value\u201d in Iraq and Afghanistan, in fact slandered to 500 times less than the most wanted Terrorists, bin Ladin and Zawahiri, thereby portraying captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War as virtually valueless \u201ctrash\u201d to their Moslem captors who well understood the Moslem tradition of \u201cBlood Money.\u201d <br>. 75.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The horiffic consequences of said treasonable Executive Branch \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d policy were that Terrorist captors consistently and predictably mutilated, tortured, and murdered captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977 as inspired by \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d. <br>. 76.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What is most revealing about Miller\u2019s wrongful behavior is that Case H-08-60 redunantly set forth the details of said treasonable Executive Branch \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d policy and plainly explained how said $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d policy had produced an ever increasing body count of predictably mutilated, tortured, and murdered captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977. <br>.77.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yet, Miller, with this information of Case H-08-60 in hand, surruptitiously took jurisdiction apparently with the most vile and criminal of intentions to deny Plaintiffs\u2019 efforts to increase rewards on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War who were Victims of the White House Executive Branch \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d policy. <br>. 78.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s wrongful expropriation of Case H-08-60 and refusal to recuse himself indicates that his deliberate denial of Plaintiffs\u2019 \u201cApplication to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)\u201d was premeditatedly made with hostile and murderous indifference to the fate of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez. <br>. 79.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller wrongfully interfered with Case H-08-60 by denying it from being heard by a trail jury and Grand Jury. It is obvious that Miller intended to prevent higher Rewards for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War and intended to stand by to allow Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty to be tortured to death by Terrorist captors in Iraq . And, this is essentially what happened as a result of Miller denying Case H-08-60 going forward to trial, thereby treasonably denying equal $25 Million dollar rewards to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u00a0 -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez --\u00a0 while Miller was actively and deliberately in violation of USC Title 28, Section 455 and thereby acting outside of his Ministerial and Discretionary scope. <br>. 80.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This sequence of events is so obvious in Miller\u2019s behavior that \u201cthe thing speaks for itself (\u2018Res Ips Loquitor\u2019)\u201d: Miller\u2019s behavior and denial of Case H-08-60 as being connected to the deaths of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty by denying Case H-08-60 from going forward to trial based on Miller\u2019s perverse demand that the $450 court filing fee be paid instead of waiving it in the interest of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u00a0 -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, thereby denied and prevented higher Rewards to save their lives as equally as the U.S. Executive Branch was saving Terrorist lives with the higher $25 Million dollar Rewards it advertised at its several \u201cRewards for Justice\u201d Web Sites located at the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of State, at the same time Miller\u2019s treasonable denial was in effect from 25 Feb 2008 to the present, August 2008. <br>. 81.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SEE: Rewards for Justice, Washington , D.C.20522-0303, 1-800-877-3927; RFJ@state.gov; <a href=\"http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/</a> <br><a href=\"http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page=wanted_captured&language=english\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page...</a> <br>. 82.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez had U.S. Fourteenth Amendment rights to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars to be treated with at least the same life-saving reward equality as Terrorist enemies of the United States and not to be treasonably slandered so far downward as to be publicly announced in the media as being assigned by their own government as at the lowest reward values, \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards,\u201d in Iraq, unto 500 times less reward life value than the terrorist enemies of the United States. <br>\u00a0\u00a0.83.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At this particular juncture, it is most appropriate to question whether the U.S. Executive Branch in its advocacy of the lowest reward values, \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards,\u201d in Iraq , unto 500 times less reward life value than the terrorist enemies of the United States was a violation of Title 18, Section 2381 \u2013 Treason, by deliberation or by error. <br>. 84.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SEE: USC Title 18, Section 2381 \u2013 Treason: Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. <br>\u00a0. 85.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plaintiff concedes that it is possible for high ranking persons in U.S. government, deficiently educated in the law, even unbalanced U.S. Court Judges like Miller, to ignorantly perpetrate and commit acts that violate United States Codes, including ignorant violations of RICO (especially RICO) and ignorant violations of Treason, completely oblivious of the violations. <br>. 86.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 However, ignorance, if true, does not mean that ignorant perpetration of a serious U.S. Code violation linked to atrocities and War Crimes against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez -- should be ignored or forgiven. <br>. 87.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 U.S. Judge Miller, after reading and learning the contents of Case H-08-60, obviously planned to expropriate wrongful jurisdiction with the purpose in mind of delaying consideration of U.S. Case H-08-60 in direct correlation of denying Maupin\u2019s, Fouty\u2019s, and Jimenez\u2019s Fourteenth Amendment right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars to be Reward equal to Terrorists who were surviving surrender and capture in Iraq at a 100 % survival rate because they were blessed with Mega-Million dollar rewards while U.S. soldiers were cursed with \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards,\u201d which obviously caused them to be tortured to death and murdered as targets of Bush\u2019s White house Culture of Torture. <br>. 88.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The information of this issue indicates that captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were murdered during the time period of 22 Feb 2008 to 08 July 2008, during said time period that U.S. Judge Miller, outside his ministerial and discretionary scope, did deny Plaintiffs\u2019 efforts to provide $25 Million Dollar Rewards to save the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W.

Justice: 888 848 5306<br>\u00a0<br>Dear Governor Strickland, care of Kim Cocroft, legal counsel:<br>   This document directed to your attention is a Complaint that cites a series of Ohio state felony crimes.<br>. . .I request that this crime information document and related U.S. Court documents be submitted to a duly assembled Ohio state Grand Jury to provide them opportunity to consider my complaint of Ohio state-crime information that reads on my enclosed complaint currently submitted to U.S. court, Houston, Case MC-08-060.<br>   The essence of my U.S. court Case MC-08-060 is that former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales perpetrated War Crimes against terrorist captured United States troops after they were captured by premeditatedly offering life devalued \u201c$50,000 Death Sentence \u201cRewards\u2019\u201d that violated the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977 as explained in MC-08-060, thereby directly motivating Terrorist Captors to murder Sgt. Keith Maupin, a citizen of Ohio in their custody, during April 2004. The Terrorist photographs of Maupin\u2019s murder were provided by terrorists in a video sent to Al Jazeera News in the Middle East. While the terrorists claim the photos in their video are of Keith Maupin being murdered, the U.S. Army says they are of such poor quality that he cannot be identified and have declared him to be \u201cofficially\u201d listed as \u201cMissing In Action.\u201d<br>   Former Attorney General Gonzales and current U.S. Attorney General Mukasey administrate and operate a U.S. Reward system that is designed to illustrate that terrorist-captured U.S. Soldiers are of low-life value that the U.S. will not negotiate to pay \u201cRANSOM\u201d to terrorists over their release. However \u201cREWARDS\u201d are not \u201cRANSOM\u201d and are not paid to Terrorists for release of terrorist-captured U.S. Soldiers. \u201cREWARDS\u201d aqre paid to non-Terrorist Informants who reveal intelligence information as to the whereabouts of terrorist-captured U.S. soldiers or reveal information as to the whereabouts of \u201cat-large\u201d terrorists or of Sunni terrorists who have been captured by Shiite Moslems or Kurds and the Attorney General has paid more than $77 million to such informants but deliberately denies U.S. Soldiers the same opportunity to be life-saved by rewards equal to those rewards he pays to save lives of Terrorists.<br>   The govt. of Ohio should be investigating the current U.S. Reward system as it is wrongfully, and criminally operated against terrorist captured U.S. soldiers. Keith Maupin likely enlisted in the U.S. Army in a Batavia, Ohio shopping mall on Ohio state soil. This fact, alone, among others gives Ohio jurisdiction to lawfully investigate and pursue these matters. <br>   Regarding the Sheriff and District Attorney of Claremont County and the Ohio State Attorney General, thus far, I have witnessed wrongful concealment and suppression of my crime reports and evasiveness. Gov Strickland has been essentially not very responsive, except to receive my complaints by email without any commentary. <br>   Nonfeasance and \u201cdoing-of-nothing\u201d has a structure. It has a frame work that can be deconstructed nail by nail, \u201cpiece-by-piece.\u201d The Genesis of the war crimes against Sgt Keith Maupin started in the state of Ohio, where he enlisted in the U.S. Army on Ohio soil. <br>   My time constraints do not allow me to pursue this complaint further in this letter as my time will be consumed by submitting my U.S. court Case MC-08-060, today, as a \u201cWar Crime\u201d complaint to the Procurator\u2019s Office at the International Criminal Court Office of the Prosecutor, Post Office Box 19519, 2500 CM The Hague, The Netherlands email <a href=\"mailto:otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int\" rel=\"nofollow\">otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int</a> , facsimile +31 70 515 8555.<br>   The provisions of Ohio state laws that apply to the Sheriff & District Attorney of Clermont County and to the Ohio Attorney General are listed below. I will give you more specifics, later. Although, at this point there is more than sufficient information for these parties to submit for prosecution to an Ohio state Grand Jury and to a federal Grand jury in Ohio. Why is this crime information being blocked and concealed from the perview, scope, view, and jurisdiction of state and federal Grand Juries in the state of Ohio? <br>   At the moment, I am witnessing Ohio violations 2921.22 Failure to report a crime or knowledge of a death or burn injury\u00a0and 2921.32 Obstructing justice in the behavior of the Sheriff & District Attorney of Clermont County and the Ohio Attorney General regarding these crime issues. If I do not observe any effort on the part of these persons to submit crime information to the mentioned grand Juries within a reasonable time, I will commence vigorous litigation on these issues and responsible parties in essentially the same manner I am litigating crime complaints against former U.s.

With the exception of Christian Menchaca's claimed 'Nuclear Crime' information that \"hot\"   Uranium open pit mining tailings  were being truck-loaded from Iran into Iraq during 2006,  virtually  one hundred percent of the 'Nuclear Crime' concerns explained in this War Crime complaint are found published on the Internet by Nuclear scientists, published by various responsible Non Government Organizations <br>(NGO) and  published by government agencies.<br>. . . Al Qaida Terrorists have several times announced intent to destroy U.S. corporations in Muslim countries. And, Plaintiffs are victims of Terrorist intent and efforts to destroy U.S. corporations in Muslim countries. <br>. . . PFC Kristian Menchaca (tortured to death, Iraq: 16 through 19 Jun 2006), U.S. Army, was assigned to a U.S. Military operation  seeking to locate and nullify Nuclear Weapons of Mass Destruction (\"WMD\") in Iraq that might be used in \"Nuclear Crimes' against U.S. targets in the U.S., used against U.S. Corporation targets in Europe, and used against U.S. Corporation targets located in the Middle East, Africa, and South America. <br>. . . While home in Texas, during May 2006, Kristian Menchaca explained to members of his family he was present during U.S. Army interrogation of captured terrorists in Iraq, early 2006; and, said Terrorists explained that they were transporting \"hot\" Uranium ore tailings from Uranium mines in Iran, by truckload, to Iraq for export out of Iraq to serve purposes of Radiologically 'stealth'  attacking & contaminating U.S. & UK Corporations doing business in Middle East countries, and to further serve purposes of Radiologically 'stealth' attacking  \"privately owned\"  U.S. & UK  Corporations doing business in Europe, in Africa, South America and USA. <br>. . . . After his Army leave finished in the USA, May 2006, PFC Kristian Menchaca returned to Iraq in June 2006 and was eventually captured together with PFC Thomas Tucker by   'al Shura Nuclear Jihad '   Terrorists who barbarically tortured both to death from 16 Jun to 19 Jun 2006. <br>. . . . PFC Kristian Menchaca and PFC Thomas Tucker were fighting to stop Nuclear Crime Radiological attack against the United States, and against U.S. Corporation properties in the Middle East and Europe that would have undoubtedly produced catastrophic Radiological attack cross-contamination of land, people, and nearby businesses that become collateral victims of Nuclear Crimes in countries attacked with Radiological \"Nuclear Crime\" poisons. <br>. . . . Such a \"Nuclear Crime\" potential has been hypothetically described of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, wherein the rooms of the American Hilton Hotel in Mecca or other Saudi cities could be Radiologically stealth-contaminated with \"Hot\" Uranium / Radium ore oxides of radiation counts exceeding 100 mR / hr.\u00a0exposure rates, more than 50 times the exposure of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules (<a href=\"http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html</a> : rules for a nuclear power plant), which require evacuation at 2 mR /hr. to prevent fatal exposure to Nuclear radioactivity.<br>All U.S. & UK  , by their presence with business property addresses in the Middle East, are antagonizing \"Nuclear Crime\" Radiological attacks against all U.S. Corporation business holdings inside Muslim countries. Such Radiological attacks  in the Middle East could easily lead to \"Radiological-Cross-Contamination\" of the Holy KAABA and <br>Currently, all U.S. and UK  Corporations, by their presence with business property addresses in the Middle East, are antagonizing \"Nuclear Crime\" Radiological attacks against all  \"privately owned\"  U.S. & UK  Corporations doing business in Asia, Japan, Europe, Africa, and South America. <br>. . . . The  Al-Masjid al-H\u0323ar\u0101m Mosque of the Holy KAABA and  the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi Mosque of the Prophet in Saudi Arabia are the two most holy places on earth for all of Islam. <br>. . .If the premises of any American Corporation-owned business or British UK Corporation-owned business in Mecca, or  Jeddah,  or Medina are radiologically contaminated in a stealth  'Nuclear Crime' attack, then common sense indicates that the two most holiest Mosques on the face of the earth in Saudi Arabia are in jeopardy  from each and every  \"Military-Political\"  move the United States makes in the Middle East. <br>. . . Al-Masjid al-H\u0323ar\u0101m Sacred Mosque\" as the largest mosque in the world, located in the city of Mecca, surrounding the Kaaba is the place toward which Muslims comprising one fifth the earth's population turn every day while offering daily prayers, as often as five times per day,  and is considered the holiest place on Earth by Muslims who comprise one fifth of the earth's population !<br>. . .Al-Masjid al-Nabawi or the Mosque of the Prophet, located in Medina, is the second holiest site in Islam.  It is the location of  Muhammad's tomb.  Part of the  edifice was originally his house; he settled there after his Hijrah (emigration) to Medina, and later built this mosque on the grounds. <br>. . . The Holy Kaaba could become Radiologically \"cross-contaminated\" by innocent Muslim pilgrims who have been previously Radiologically contaminated by  life-destroying Uranium / Radium particles attached their clothing from exposure inside their Radiologically contaminated American and British Corporation owned hotel rooms.<br>    Unlike Anthrax, deadly Uranium/Radium contamination is virtually impossible to effectively clean-up.  A Geiger Counter will always be able to detect some remaining lethal Uranium/Radium contamination particles that may be lethally inhaled at a target site,  no matter how often cleaned. <br>. . . In essence, the reality is that \"once a Nuclear Crime' U.S. or UK Corporation target  is contaminated,  then life-destroying Radiological contamination can spread as in an invisible   'Nuclear-Crime-contamination ripple-effect'   that takes place as the life destroying Radiological  particles spread outward from the target  carried on contaminated clothing by people or by automobiles or wind currents,   that are always detectable with Geiger Counter equipment. Thus,  a city becomes \"Nuclear Crime\" contaminated unto the condition of a \"Nuclear wasteland\"; and, it will remain a wasteland until the Radiological contaminant, Radium 226, decays to safe levels, likely taking sixteen centuries, a very long time.<br>. . . Should such a  'Nuclear-Crime-contamination ripple-effect'  occur in Meccah or Medinah, Saudi Arabia as a consequence of U.S. and UK  presence as 'Nuclear Crime' targets in the Middle East, then one fifth of the earth's Muslim population will likely hold the U.S. and UK responsible for the Radiological poisoning of their holiest of all Mosques. <br>. . . Islam Karimov, the current President of Uzbekistan would be understandably reluctant to rent an airfield to any foreign government that might directly or indirectly  lead to or  cause Radiological contamination  of the Holy KAABA in Mecca or Prophet's Mosque in Medina. <br>. . . Anyone visiting a Radiological attacked location, commoner and royalty, alike, is a potential victim of inhaling Radium 226 dust particles into his lungs where they cannot be removed. The X-rays of Radium contaminated lungs in Radiologically contaminated victims display thousands of Radium dust / oxide particles like stars glowing in a midnight universe, a picture of certain death a-coming as caused by Radium inhalation, which leads to eye cataracts, bone cancer rot, liver, breast cancer, and other related Cancers that generally kill within a few years or less. Removal of the contaminant is impossible. Worse than anthrax, there is no medical treatment. <br>. . .

NUCLEAR PEACE IS MORAL, ETHICAL, AND ACHIEVABLE. :<br>. . . Terrorists intent to destroy   \"PRIVATELY OWNED\"   U.S. and UK business profiteering corporations in Muslim countries can be easily prevented throughout the Middle East and Saudi Arabia by \"PRIVATELY OWNED\"  US Corporations voluntarily selling their \"PRIVATELY OWNED\"  business Corporations and evacuating to maintain Nuclear peace in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia , Europe, South America, and Africa, etcetera.<br>. . . . Presented with the undeniable fact that Terrorists have announced intent to destroy \"privately owned\"  U.S. & UK  Corporations doing business in these Muslim countries, it makes a great deal of good sense for \"privately owned\"  U.S. & UK  Corporations to voluntarily sell and change ownership to local Saudi ownership or change \"privately owned\"  U.S. & UK   Corporation ownership to other Middle East Investors who could purchase \"privately owned\"  U.S. & UK  Corporations that are Nuclear Crime targets in all Muslim Middle East countries, including Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, and thereby remove \"privately owned\"  U.S. & UK   Corporations from the \"Nuclear Crime\" list of targets. <br>. . #   In the interests of maintaining Nuclear peace, the reasonable voluntary divestment and withdrawal of   U.S. and British  Corporations, who could be \"diplomatically divested\"  out  from Middle East countries , with political diplomacy that includes \"Nuclear weapon armed terrorists, \"  will therefore  eliminate the presence of  the 'number-one-Nuclear-Crime-target' antagonism in the Middle East , especially in Saudi Arabia, where Western  Corporations  are despised as immoral and evil \"money-profiteering\"   'Nuclear-Crime-targets.'  <br>. . .  Applied diplomacy and diplomatically structured  'Voluntary divestment and departure' of  politically  hated  Western business corporations  should be set into motion by the U.N. to eliminate the worsening Nuclear Crime threats in Middle East countries. that have 'rippled' outward unto 'Nuclear Crime'  threats against Europe and the U.S. and other targets of Nuclear-Radiological Jihad Terrorism of the type planned by the 'Dirty Bomb' terrorist, Jose  Padilla, arrested but not prosecuted in the U.S. for planned 'Nuclear Crime' Radiological attacks on the United States easily achieved by 'Nuclear Jihad Terrorists' who have access to lethal Radiological ore tailings, highly available in abandoned open pit Uranium mines that register upwards of 100 mRads per hour, fifty times the 2 mRad amount that Nuclear Regulatory Commission, NRC,  considers  dangerous and mandates evacuation if 2 mRad is present at Nuclear Power plants.<br>. . . The Bush administration obviously did not want  to publicly reveal in a 'Nuclear Crime' trial of Jose Padilla the potentials of Radiological 'Nuclear Crime' warfare due to the fact that innocent \"third party' countries would then become aware that they had become Nuclear Crime Targets as a direct consequence of Bush's Middle East wars.<br>. . . #. .  Redundantly and well informed that the Menchaca family faces a larger danger from Terrorists than Sammy \"The Bull\" Gravano ever faced as retaliation from Mafia, Attorney General Michael Mukasey (previously December 2008; Departed Jan 2009 ) and U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson (currently), perpetrating USC Title 18 Crime \"Title 18 Retaliation\" and \"Title 18 Tampering\" against the Kristian Menchaca Family, apparently  for having filed suit against them in U.S. Civ. H-08-60 and for having filed Claims with Ministers of Justice in the Middle East regarding the above described  \"Nuclear Crime issues,\"   have continued to vehemently deny the Menchaca family the same Victim/Witness protection (requested by Menchaca family Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie) U.S.Department  of Justice  provided to Sammy \"The Bull\" Gravano, as of Menchaca family December 2008 and January-February 2009 Communiques requesting Victim Protection.\u00a0 <br>. . . .#.  Plaintiffs, Kristian Menchaca  family,  are currently facing Terrorism threats to their lives apparently manipulated by U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson (currently promoting former Attorney General Mukasey's administrative crimes) perpetrating USC Title 18 Crime \"Retaliation\" against the Menchaca Family for having filed Claims against the U.S. Justice Department  in the U.S. and  for having filed Claims (SEE:   'Nuclear Crime'  Claims filed  with Ministers of Justice in the Middle East); and, acting Bush administration functionary U.S. Attorney Johnson has continued to apply Bush administration politics to vehemently deny the Menchaca family the same Victim/Witness protection provided to Sammy \"The Bull\" Gravano, as of Menchaca Family-telephoned February 2009 Communiques. <br>. . . . 4.

Recognizing that the new administration of President Barak Obama has only recently inherited leftover Bush Bureaucrats and nightmarish Radiological War conditions created and maintained by the previous \"Culture-of-Torture-Bush-administration,\" Plaintiffs preface this yet-to-be-filed update of Plaintiffs' War Crime litigation information as this reads on previously filed legal Claims and Crime Complaints against the former Bush Administration War Criminals, herein, with the explanation that Plaintiffs regard the former Bush administration as 100% responsible for said 'Nuclear Crime' conditions; and, Plaintiffs proceed in the belief that the current administration, once it understands the \"wrong-doing complexities\" of the former Bush Regime, will abandon U.S. Justice Department support of former Bush Regime Administrative wrong- doing. <br>. .6 . Plaintiffs' recent commentary, since December 2008, is particularly directed at former Attorney General Michael Mukasey (replaced by acting U.S. Attorney General Mark Filip, then Filip replaced by U.S. Attorney General Erik Holder) and U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson currently employed in Houston, who, on or about the week of 26 December 2008,  denied the Kristian Menchaca family's previously phoned and written requests for \"Victim Witness protection\" from further Terrorist crimes against the Kristian Menchaca family as a consequence of their Crime tort complaints filed with U.S. FBI and filed in U.S. District Court Case H-08-60 and their Crime complaints also filed in U.N. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT, ICC, Prosecutor, Case # OTP-CR-100/08, PO Box 19519, 2500 CM, The Hague, The Netherlands, email; <a href=\"mailto:otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int\" rel=\"nofollow\">otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int</a> .<br>. . .7 . The U.N. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT, ICC, Prosecutor, Case # OTP-CR-100/08,  has jurisdiction of former Attorney General Michael Mukasey's and U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson's apparent USC Title 18 crime \"Retaliation\" and crime \"Tampering\" violations outside Mukasey's and Johnson's \"Ministerial and Discretionary scope\" criminally inflicted against the Kristian Menchaca family in Tim Johnson's apparent USC Title 18 crime \"Retaliation\" and crime \"Tampering\" violations   denying them as victims the same protection the U.S. Department of Justice provided to Sammy \"The Bull\" Gravano, the John Gotti Mafioso who murdered 18 people. Gravano (1) did not lose a beloved member of his family tortured to death by Terrorists at war with the United States, (2) nor did Gravano ever file a U.S. Court Case against Terrorists as have the Menchaca family, who have filed U.S. Court Case H 08-60 naming al Quaida and al Shura Council, who tortured PFC Kristian Menchaca to death alongside PFC Thomas Tucker. (3) Moreover, Gravano never filed lawsuits in  foreign jurisdictions naming terrorist groups as perpetrators of War Crimes against U.S. Military personnel as have the Menchaca family. (4) Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie has received at least one \"Death Threat\" eMail from an unknown party promising that MacKenzie faced death from someone who wanted to kill him. <br>. . . . 8. Yet,  redundantly well informed that the Menchaca family faces a larger danger from Terrorists than Sammy \"The Bull\" Gravano ever faced as retaliation from Mafia, Attorney General Michael Mukasey (previously) and U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson (currently), perpetrating USC Title 18 Crime \"Retaliation\" against the Menchaca Family for having filed suit against Mukasey in the U.S. and for having filed suit with Ministers of Justice in the MIddle East, U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson continued to vehemently deny the Menchaca family same Victim/Witness protection provided to Sammy \"The Bull\" Gravano, as of Menchaca family February 2009 Communiques requesting Victim/Witness protection . <br>. . . . ..

Several of the Menchaca Family Complainants have removed themselves from the captions of filed litigation of these War Crime matters in the Middle East jurisdictions as a consequence of U.S. Attorney General Mukasey's and U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson's perpetrated USC Title 18 crime \"Retaliation\" and crime \"tampering\" against the Kristian Menchaca family since formally denying the Kristian Menchaca family \"Witness/Victim\" protection from December 2008 forward. <br>. ..11. Should any leftover Bush-administration supporting bureaucrats or any of the several new Cabinet Secretaries of the New Obama administration continue to maintain the aberrant 'Nuclear Crime' secrecy policies of the former Bush Administration as if acting as Bush's surrogates, Plaintiff will continue to litigate these 'War Crime' lawsuits in the assumption that said leftover Bush-bureaucrats and new Cabinet Secretaries are 'mentally disabled and compromised' and will eventually answer in court for the catastrophic Radiological War Crime truths described in this litigation.<br>. . . 12. In consideration that Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie has previously served and filed numerous Crime reports of '18 USC Section 1512 Tampering' and 'Section 1513 Retaliation' to the U.S. Department of Justice Attorney General's Office and to FBI against U.S. Attorney General Mukasey and U.S. Attorney General Gonzales, and against U.S. employee Attorney Tim Johnson and in consideration that Plaintiff MacKenzie has reported said U.S. RICO Act Crimes to John Bellinger, legal Counsel for the U.S. State Department, in U.S. government offices, Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie motions  that this enclosed Crime information describing (1) Nuclear Crime Claims of United States Case H-08-60, Southern District of Texas, and (2)  enclosed Crime information describing  related violations of the U.S. RICO Act and (3) enclosed Crime information describing  Plaintiffs' filed copies of United States Case H-08-60, Southern District of Texas, Plaintiffs request that said 'Nuclear Crimes' be publicly investigated by state of Texas law enforcement, be publicly investigated by U.S. law enforcement agencies to include FBI, Homeland Security Agency, and BATF; and, Plaintiff MacKenzie requests said Crime reports be provided to these agencies and to the various U.S. and state Grand Juries and courts having jurisdiction of the 'Nuclear Crimes' reported by Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie of the Kristian Menchaca Family and, Crimes reported within U.S. state and federal  Jurisdiction. <br>The Kristian Menchaca Family petitions this Court issue a Protective Order to Protect the Family of Kristian Menchaca.<br>Complainant\u2019s signature : S/  Kenneth MacKenzie, <br>Printed name: Kenneth MacKenzie;  title: Pro Se,  Properia Persona,   U.S. Court Case H-08-60 2314 Gentry, Houston, TX 77009;\u00a0 \u00a0H.

Miller possessed obviously available information that Miller was a nominee / appointee of President G.W. Bush to Miller\u2019s position of U.S. District Court Judge. <br>. 8.\u00a0  Miller possessed obviously available information from the Caption (See Appendix 1, appended herein) in Plaintiff\u2019s case H-08-60 that President G.W. Bush was named as an \u201cinterested Party\u201d in Plaintiff\u2019s case H-08-60. <br>. 9.\u00a0Miller possessed obviously available information that Plaintiff\u2019s Case H-08-60 named in the caption former U.S. Attorney General Gonzales (a Bush nominated / appointed U.S. Attorney General) and was informed that Plaintiff\u2019s Case H-08-60 named, in the caption (See Appendix 1, appended herein), a substantial number of Bush nominated / appointed Cabinet Secretaries as \u201cInterested Parties.\u201d <br>. 10.\u00a0Miller possessed obviously available information of \u201cUSC Title 28, Section 455 - Disqualification of justice, judge, or magistrate judge (a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.\u201d <br>. 11.\u00a0 \u201cThe thing speaks for itself\u201d (Res Ips Loquitor) that USC Title 28, Section 455 was clearly applicable or, at least, of question for Miller in Plaintiff\u2019s Case H-08-60. <br>. 12.\u00a0\u201cThe thing speaks for itself\u201d (Res Ips Loquitor) that Miller did not query the Judicial Council of the Fifth Judicial Circuit to ask an opinion regarding Miller\u2019s plans to commandeer jurisdiction as President Bush\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9, nominee / appointee, to\u00a0 expropriate jurisdiction of Plaintiff\u2019s Case H-08-60 away from other U.S. District Court judges who were \u201cNOT\u201d prot\u00e9g\u00e9s, nominees, or appointees of President G.W. Bush and were not linked as nominees / appointees of the U.S. Executive Branch Culture of Torture that has provably worked to destroy the lives of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War. \u201cThe thing speaks for itself\u201d (Res Ips Loquitor).\u00a0 <br>. 13.\u00a0Plaintiff\u2019s complaint focuses on several basic areas regarding said unlawfully expropriated decision of Miller to take jurisdiction away from other better qualified U.S. judges despite Miller\u2019s obvious \u201cconflict of interest\u201d disqualification under 28 USC, Section 455, before Miller issued decisions in Case-08-60. <br>.14.\u00a0Miller took jurisdiction by snaking around the proscriptions of 28 USC, Section 455 and surreptitiously not notifying Plaintiffs of his identification as a Bush nominee / appointee; and, Miller took jurisdiction by not querying the Judicial Council of the Fifth Judicial Circuit to determine its opinion on Miller\u2019s decision to take jurisdiction when there were numerous valid questions against Miller taking jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 fully informed he was a Bush nominee / appointee and disqualified under Title 28, Section 455 prior to taking jurisdiction. <br>. 15.\u00a0 Furthermore, Miller did not take jurisdiction under verification or sworn oath that he was not subject to disqualification under Title 28, Section 455, or under verification or sworn oath that he was not acting outside his ministerial and discretionary scope in conflict as a Bush Nominee / Appointee. <br>\u00a0. 16.\u00a0  The information of Case H-08-60 explained that part of Plaintiffs\u2019 litigation of Case H-08-60 was seeking and offering rewards of $25 Million (See Appendix 2 and also see <a href=\"http://kristianmenchaca.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://kristianmenchaca.com/</a>) expected to come from jury verdicts in Case H-08-60 on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. In conjunction with information of Case H-08-60, Plaintiffs were offering rewards of $25 Million on the internet (See Appendix 2) linked to litigation of Case H-08-60 in efforts to save the lives of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty who were facing mutilation, torture, and death in Iraq . <br>. 17.\u00a0Miller ignored the plight of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty when he snaked around the proscriptions of USC Title 28, Section 455 and wrongfully took jurisdiction apparently focused on dismissing Plaintiffs\u2019 Case H-08-60 against his mentor, Bush, and his mentor\u2019s Attorneys General and Cabinet Secretaries. <br>. 18.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller denied Plaintiffs\u2019 Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 on 25 Feb 2008; and, Plaintiffs never received information of Miller\u2019s said denial from the Court Clerk. Miller\u2019s said \u201cDenial\u201d was issued outside his Ministerial and Discretionary scope by reason of the facts indicating he was not qualified to take jurisdiction because he was disqualified pursuant to 28 USC, Section 455 in his \u201cConflict of Interest.\u201d <br>. 19.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s wrongful denial of 25 Feb 2008 thereby had catastrophic consequences for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty --\u00a0 who Miller ignored when he issued his denial, which had the effect of allowing unchallenged continuance of said U.S. Executive Branch issued \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards,\u201d effectively motivating Terrorists to mutilate, torture, and murder captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in \u201cWar Crime\u201d violations of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977 as further explained, herein. <br>. 20.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Linked to Miller\u2019s Denial and bizarre refusal to address the life and death issues of Case H-08-60 and Miller instead focus on the $450 filing fee marks Miller and reveals his unbalanced state of mind in that he focused on trivia while the lives of three captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War hung in the balance endangered by Miller\u2019s Denial and delays of Case H-08-60. <br>. 21.\u00a0\u00a0 Miller, by taking jurisdiction outside his ministerial and discretionary scope as disqualified under 28 Section 455 and by wrongfully denying Plaintiffs\u2019 life saving efforts of Case H-08-60 on 25 Feb 2008, Miller effectively removed any lawful potential for change in said U.S. Executive Branch issued \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards.\u201d <br>. 22.\u00a0\u00a0 Thus, Miller, disqualified under Title 28, Section 455 and then acting in his Private Persona, issued an unlawful denial in Case H-08-60 which prevented Case H-08-60 from going forward to make life saving efforts on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br>\u00a0. 23.\u00a0\u00a0 Disqualified under Title 28, Section 455 and by denying Case H-08-60 to go forward in a timely manner to publich \u201cequal-to-terrorist-$25-Million-reward-conditions\u201d of $25 million dollar Rewards on behalf of the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, Miller, acting in his Private Persona, did interfere with Plaintiffs\u2019 Case H-08-60 and prevented \u201cequal-to-terrorist-$25-Million-reward-conditions\u201d from being heard by a jury in a timely manner. <br>. 24.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As a connected result of Miller\u2019s wrongdoing in making the $450 filing fee a more important focus of Case H-08-60 than the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, while Miller acted outside the ministerial and discretionary scope of U.S. District Court Judge and, instead, acted in his Private Persona as \u201cGray Miller,\u201d the body of Sgt. Keith Maupin was recovered in Iraq on 30 March 2008, and the bodies of Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were recovered on 09 July 2008. <br>. 25.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The fact that Miller acted in the above described manner indicates Miller is unbalanced in his mental abilities to recognize that there is a profound difference between life and death issues compared to the trivia of his emphasis on the $450 filing fee. <br>\u00a0. 26.\u00a0 In conformance with 5th Cir. R., Plaintiff is not disputing Miller\u2019s wrongful denial of Plaintiffs\u2019 Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 even though Miller\u2019s denial should have no standing. Plaintiff MacKenzie is pointing out the obvious conditions that existed before Miller took wrongful jurisdiction and issued his wrongful Denial. <br>\u00a0. 27.\u00a0\u00a0 It should be noted that there are four family Plaintiffs listed in Case H-08-60. Julieta Vasquez-MacKenzie the Aunt of Kristian Menchaca is unemployed, without funds, and should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not \u201cU.S. Judge Gray Miller\u201d).\u00a0 <br>\u00a0. 28.\u00a0\u00a0 Cesar Menchaca, brother of Kristian Menchaca is unemployed, without funds, and should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not \u201cU.S. Judge Gray Miller\u201d). <br>\u00a0\u00a0. 29.\u00a0 Maria Guadalupe Vasquez, mother of Christian Menchaca, under employed based on her economic condition, should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not \u201cU.S. Judge Gray Miller\u201d). <br>\u00a0.30.\u00a0\u00a0 Kenneth MacKenzie was allowed to proceed in U.S. District Court to U.S. Supreme Court twice under his current economic profile in U.S. Supreme Court cases 95-9090 and 97-7616, yet was denied Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 in Miller\u2019s denial of 25 Feb 2008, by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not \u201cU.S. Judge Gray Miller\u201d)..\u00a0\u00a0 <br>. 31.\u00a0Plaintiffs\u2019 filed Case H-08-60 seeking orders to make rewards equally available to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War; and, Plaintiffs sought damages to be paid by Defendant Gonzales to the Vasquez Menchaca family, while listing several \u201cInterested Parties\u201d including Bush as possible Defendants should investigation indicate they were culpable in the wrongful death of Plaintiffs\u2019 family member, PFC Kristian Vasquez Menchaca, who was captured by Terrorist insurgents, during June 2006, together with PFC Thomas Tucker in Yosifiya, Iraq and both barbarically tortured to death largely as a consequence said discriminatory \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d broadcast by the U.S. government after their surrender / capture (not before surrender / capture).\u00a0\u00a0 <br>. 32.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plaintiffs\u2019 complaint is that Judge Gray Miller wrongfully took jurisdiction of this Case H-08-60 in disregard of Title 28, Section 455; and, after taking jurisdiction, Miller\u2019s Denial of Plaintiffs\u2019 Application to Proceed Without Payment was made outside Miller\u2019s ministerial and discretionary scope and made in a condition that was a violation of Title 28, Section 455 regarding Case H-08-60. <br>\u00a0. 33.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In retrospect of Miller taking jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, after the facts are considered that former Attorney General Gonzales is listed as a Defendant, President Bush\u2019s name is listed as a \u201cPARTY,\u201d and a large number of Bush Cabinet Secretary appointees are listed as \u201cInterested Parties\u201d in H-08-60, why did Judge Miller not \u201cdo what is easy\u201d and simply allow another judge who was not a Bush nominee / appointee take jurisdiction of H-08-60? The obvious answer to the obvious answer is that Miller obviously was obviously motivated by some interest to protect his Mentor, G.W. Bush and his several Cabinet Secretaries from facing the unpleasant prospect of answering for their structured and minipulated U.S. \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d against captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War that targeted them after capture motivating the very same Terrorist groups who were beneficiaries of life saving Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards to mutilate, torture, and murder \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019\u2026\u201d targeted U.S. soldiers ruthlessly denied \u201cFourteenth Amendment\u201d equality of Terrorist life saving Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards that proveably saved the lives of all 100% of Terrorists who surrendered in Iraq, while U.S. \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d ruthlessly targeted and motivated the mutilation, torture, and murder of all 100% of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War in Iraq, said Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar life Rewards contrasting to \u201c$50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d and thereby illustrating a relentlessly targeted low life value to captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War in criminal violation of Geneva Conventions and also in criminal violation of the U.S.RICO Act and U.S. Treason Act by encouraging and motivating Terrorist organization enemies of the United States (whose members benefitted after surrender by said Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards that motivated their Iraqi Sunni and Shiite and Kurdish captors not to mutilate, torture and murder them after capture) to mutilate, torture, and murder all 100% of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War. <br>. 34.\u00a0\u00a0 From Petitioners\u2019 common sense point of view in this matter, Judge Gray Miller appears to be mentally disabled, or worse, which indicates he may be as mentally disabled as those in the U.S. Executive Branch whose life destroying reward policies he appears to support.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br>. 35.\u00a0\u00a0 Judge Gray Miller\u2019s decision to take jurisdiction of Plaintiffs\u2019 U.S. District Court Case H-08-60, Houston, after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as Defendant (Gonzales was a President-G.W.-Bush-appointee, like Miller), after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing as \u201cInterested-Parties,\u201d\u00a0 members of the U.S. Executive Branch selected by Bush, and after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing President G.W. Bush as an \u201cInterested Party,\u201d President G.W. Bush being the very same party who had nominated Miller to his decision-making position as District Court judge, Miller wrongfully took \u201cconflict-of-interest\u201d jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 when it was flooded with \u201cInterested Parties,\u201d including President Bush, whose presence in Case H-08-60 indicated an \u201cextreme-conflict-of-interest\u201d should Miller take jurisdiction of Case H-08-60. <br>. 36.\u00a0\u00a0 SEE: \u201cUSC Title 28, Section 455.

Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty from the treasonable effects of the \u201cU.S. Bush White House $50,000-Dollar-\u2018Death-Sentence\u2019-Rewards clearly revealed Miller\u2019s murderous Treason against the soldiers and national defense of the United States that is outside Miller\u2019s ministerial and discretionary scope, which proveably indicates Miller must be impeached and prosecuted for his murders and treasons against the people and military personel of the United States.\u00a0 <br>. 60.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller premeditatedly taking jurisdiction, when Title 28 Section 455 clearly indicated he should recuse himslef, shows that Miller intended to issue denials that would treasonably cost the lives of \u201cTerrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u201d as Bush\u2019s and Miller\u2019s record clearly illustrates. Said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty \u2013 were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br>. 61.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The facts indicate that Miller had information that indicated \u201cU.S. $50,000-Dollar-\u2018Death-Sentence\u2019-Rewards had targeted Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, before Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60. Miller took jurisdiction that was not his to take by snaking around Title 28, Section 455 and issuing denials against Plaintiffs\u2019 efforts to save the lives of said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty \u2013 who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br>. 62.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Should another U.S. District Court judge, instead of Miller, have taken jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 and allowed $25 Million dollar Rewards in defiance of the Bush U.S. Executive Branch $50K Death Rewards, it would be almost impossible for the Bush U.S. Executive Branch to appeal in front of the public as at that perticular juncture the Bush Administration would be then be publicly recognized as appealing to restore its treasonably low $50,000 Death Sentence Rewards to continue motivating Terrorists to mutilate, torture, and murder \u201cTerrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u201d as contrasted alongside Bush-Gonzales-Rice $25 Million dollar Rewards for terrorists, which said $25 Million dollar Rewards if allowed for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War would be 14th Amendment Equal and thereby would create higher potential to save the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War. <br>\u00a0. 63.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller was informed of this and instead elected to corruptly expropriate jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 when other U.S. District Court Judges could have been assigned to Case H-08-60 had Miller not expropriated Case H-08-60 for his own wrongful decision making process, which directly and indirectly aided and abbeted life destroying Terrorism against said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty \u2013 who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War. <br>. 64.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller was informed that such an Executive Branch Appeal would reveal the U.S. Executive Branch had been committing furtive and surruptitious life-destroying Treason against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Title 18 US Code once the Appeal was seen alongside the body count of $50,000 Death Sentence U.S. soldiers in the light of Public Opinion. <br>. 65.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Moreover, the tortured bodies of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller\u2019s Treasons in denying them right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. provided to Terrorists would also expose Miller\u2019s U.S. Code Treasons against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War as Miller had operated his U.S. Code Treason violations when he administratively and judicially murdered Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty by means of his said denials in Case H-08-60. Whle \u201cmurder\u201d appears to be a strong term, this stronng term murder is exactly what was inflicted on captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller\u2019s Treasons in denying U.S. soldier Prisoners of War right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. provided to Terrorists by Miller\u2019s mentally unbalanced behavior of Miller insisting that a $450 Court fee was more important than the lives of said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty \u2013 who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards. <br>. 66.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s denial of Plaintiffs\u2019 Case H-08-60 effectively identified Miller as an \u201cAnti-American\u201d judge issuing \u201cAuschwitz-type\u201d judicial decisions in support of \u201cAuschwitz-type\u201d U.S. Attorney Generals and \u201cTreasonable U.S. Executive Branch Secretaries\u201d that produced \u201cAuschwitz-type\u201d \u2018Death-Sentences\u2019 against \u201cTerrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War.\u201d <br>. 67.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is not hyperbole to say \u201cCain slew Able\u201d; and, Miller slew Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, by means of denying Case H-08-60 Plaintiffs\u2019 efforts to proceed. While it is obvious that Miller\u2019s judicial denial of Plaintiffs\u2019 Case H-08-60 did relate to the Terrorist murders of Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, and was both indirect and direct, this condition does not make Miller\u2019s slaying of Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez any less truthful. <br>. 68.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Miller\u2019s Forma Pauperis denial interfered with Plaintiffs\u2019 Case H-08-60 efforts to increase U.S. Reward amounts to $25 Million each for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War and on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller\u2019s Treasons in denying Maupin\u2019s, Fouty\u2019s, and Jimenez\u2019s Fourteenth Amendment right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars already bestowed to Terrorists by Attorney Generals Ashcroft, Gonzales, and Mukaysey, said\u00a0 $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars having been criminally and treasonably denied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez by Attorney General Ashcroft, Attorney General Gonzales, Sectretaries Rice & Rumsfeld denying $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars, then later treasonably denied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez sucessively by Attorney General Mukaysey, Secretary Rice, and Gates. <br>. 69.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s wrongful expropriation of Case H-08-60 and refusal to recuse himself indicates \u201cthe thing speaks for itself (\u2018Res Ips Loquitor\u2019),\u201d a Pattern of behavior by Miller that incorporates the same manipulation of \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d that Miller continued when he ignored the fact that he was a Bush Nominee / Appointee, and concealed from Plaintiffs the fact that he was a Bush Nominee, who most wrongfully ignored USC Title 28, Section 455, and wrongfully took jurisdiction which was outside Miller\u2019s Ministerial and Discretionary scope according to the provisions of\u00a0 USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby Miller issuing Miller\u2019s denial in Case H-08-60 that effectively blocked Plainfiffs; and, furthermore, following from Miller\u2019s denial, the U.S. Court Clerk did not notify Plaintiffs in a timely manner by certified U.S. Mail regarding these most important \u201clife-and-death\u201d issues as Miller\u2019s Denial applied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez. The Clerk\u2019s notification by regular U.S. mail proved to be inadequate as Plaintiffs never received any word of Millers denial until Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie contacted the Clerk in June 2008 to determine if the Court charged for issuance of Summons.<br> . 70.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s entire pattern of conduct from his wrongful expropriation of  Case H-08-60 to his predictable \u201cDenial\u201d of \u201cPlaintiffs\u2019 Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)\u201d indicates that Miller had decided to subordinate the \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d considerations to the even lower amount of a $450 filing fee for Case H-08-60 before he wrongfully expropriated jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 to\u00a0\u00a0manipulate his wrongful denial of Plaintiffs efforts to proceed to a speedy trial and hearing.\u00a0 <br>. 71.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Before unlawfully usurping\u00a0 and expropriating jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, Miller apparently premeditated a criminal plan whereby after wrongfully expropriating jurisdiction, Miller ignored and furthermore trivialized Case H-08-60 by criminally subordinating the life and death reward issue considerations of the U.S. Executive Branch \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d offers to Miller\u2019s even lower criminal amount of a $450 filing fee for Case H-08-60 requiring a $450 filing fee to be paid before Miller would consider the fact that captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez -- in Iraq would be murdered by their Terrorist Captors while Miller trivialized their lives at an even lower amount of a $450 Court filing fee compared to \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d. <br>. 72.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While there were several ways said $450 Court filing fee for Case H-08-60 could have been processed or handled, Miller manipulatively and unecessarily selected the single condition that created the most delay and liklihood of mutilation, torture, and \u201ccertain-murder\u201d against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez \u2013 by Miller selectively denying \u201cPlaintiffs\u2019 Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)\u201d for Case H-08-60, which sought to change the Bush Executive Branch \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War to become equal to higher life-saving Rewards of $25 Million that Bush\u2019s Executive Branch was offering and paying to save lives of surrendered terrorists and \u201cat large\u201d terrorists from April 2004 through 09 July 2008 and to the present time, but was treasonably denying to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War unto torture, mutilation and murder prohibited by Geneva Convention III of 1949 and The Geneva Protocols of 1977. <br>.73.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plaintiffs\u2019 Case H-08-60 set forth higher life-saving Rewards of $25 Million each for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u00a0 -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez \u2013 that Miller treasonably denied as equal $25 Million dollar rewards to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u00a0 -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez --\u00a0 while Miller was actively and deliberately in violation of USC Title 28, Section 455 and thereby acting outside of his Ministerial and Discretionary scope. <br>. 74.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When the overall pattern of Miller\u2019s behavior is examined, from the time prior to his wrongful taking\u00a0jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, in conflict as a Bush appointee surruptitiously not informing Plaintiffs, a Bush appointee denying captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u00a0 -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez \u2013 the $25 Million Dollar Rewards sought by Plaintiffs in Case H-08-60, it is most apparent that Miller intended to insure that the White House Reward Treasons against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War would continue to motivate terrorist enemies of the United States to inflict mutilation, torture, and murder against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, whose Reward life values had obviously been slandered and defamed by \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d to the \u201clowest life value\u201d in Iraq and Afghanistan, in fact slandered to 500 times less than the most wanted Terrorists, bin Ladin and Zawahiri, thereby portraying captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War as virtually valueless \u201ctrash\u201d to their Moslem captors who well understood the Moslem tradition of \u201cBlood Money.\u201d <br>. 75.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The horiffic consequences of said treasonable Executive Branch \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d policy were that Terrorist captors consistently and predictably mutilated, tortured, and murdered captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977 as inspired by \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards\u201d. <br>. 76.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What is most revealing about Miller\u2019s wrongful behavior is that Case H-08-60 redunantly set forth the details of said treasonable Executive Branch \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d policy and plainly explained how said $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d policy had produced an ever increasing body count of predictably mutilated, tortured, and murdered captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977. <br>.77.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yet, Miller, with this information of Case H-08-60 in hand, surruptitiously took jurisdiction apparently with the most vile and criminal of intentions to deny Plaintiffs\u2019 efforts to increase rewards on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War who were Victims of the White House Executive Branch \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Reward\u201d policy. <br>. 78.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s wrongful expropriation of Case H-08-60 and refusal to recuse himself indicates that his deliberate denial of Plaintiffs\u2019 \u201cApplication to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)\u201d was premeditatedly made with hostile and murderous indifference to the fate of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez. <br>. 79.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller wrongfully interfered with Case H-08-60 by denying it from being heard by a trail jury and Grand Jury. It is obvious that Miller intended to prevent higher Rewards for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War and intended to stand by to allow Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty to be tortured to death by Terrorist captors in Iraq . And, this is essentially what happened as a result of Miller denying Case H-08-60 going forward to trial, thereby treasonably denying equal $25 Million dollar rewards to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u00a0 -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez --\u00a0 while Miller was actively and deliberately in violation of USC Title 28, Section 455 and thereby acting outside of his Ministerial and Discretionary scope. <br>. 80.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This sequence of events is so obvious in Miller\u2019s behavior that \u201cthe thing speaks for itself (\u2018Res Ips Loquitor\u2019)\u201d: Miller\u2019s behavior and denial of Case H-08-60 as being connected to the deaths of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty by denying Case H-08-60 from going forward to trial based on Miller\u2019s perverse demand that the $450 court filing fee be paid instead of waiving it in the interest of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War\u00a0 -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, thereby denied and prevented higher Rewards to save their lives as equally as the U.S. Executive Branch was saving Terrorist lives with the higher $25 Million dollar Rewards it advertised at its several \u201cRewards for Justice\u201d Web Sites located at the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of State, at the same time Miller\u2019s treasonable denial was in effect from 25 Feb 2008 to the present, August 2008. <br>. 81.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SEE: Rewards for Justice, Washington , D.C.20522-0303, 1-800-877-3927; RFJ@state.gov; <a href=\"http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/</a> <br><a href=\"http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page=wanted_captured&language=english\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page...</a> <br>. 82.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez had U.S. Fourteenth Amendment rights to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars to be treated with at least the same life-saving reward equality as Terrorist enemies of the United States and not to be treasonably slandered so far downward as to be publicly announced in the media as being assigned by their own government as at the lowest reward values, \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards,\u201d in Iraq, unto 500 times less reward life value than the terrorist enemies of the United States. <br>\u00a0\u00a0.83.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At this particular juncture, it is most appropriate to question whether the U.S. Executive Branch in its advocacy of the lowest reward values, \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards,\u201d in Iraq , unto 500 times less reward life value than the terrorist enemies of the United States was a violation of Title 18, Section 2381 \u2013 Treason, by deliberation or by error. <br>. 84.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SEE: USC Title 18, Section 2381 \u2013 Treason: Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. <br>\u00a0. 85.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plaintiff concedes that it is possible for high ranking persons in U.S. government, deficiently educated in the law, even unbalanced U.S. Court Judges like Miller, to ignorantly perpetrate and commit acts that violate United States Codes, including ignorant violations of RICO (especially RICO) and ignorant violations of Treason, completely oblivious of the violations. <br>. 86.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 However, ignorance, if true, does not mean that ignorant perpetration of a serious U.S. Code violation linked to atrocities and War Crimes against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez -- should be ignored or forgiven. <br>. 87.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 U.S. Judge Miller, after reading and learning the contents of Case H-08-60, obviously planned to expropriate wrongful jurisdiction with the purpose in mind of delaying consideration of U.S. Case H-08-60 in direct correlation of denying Maupin\u2019s, Fouty\u2019s, and Jimenez\u2019s Fourteenth Amendment right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars to be Reward equal to Terrorists who were surviving surrender and capture in Iraq at a 100 % survival rate because they were blessed with Mega-Million dollar rewards while U.S. soldiers were cursed with \u201cU.S. $50,000 \u2018Death Sentence\u2019 Rewards,\u201d which obviously caused them to be tortured to death and murdered as targets of Bush\u2019s White house Culture of Torture. <br>. 88.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The information of this issue indicates that captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were murdered during the time period of 22 Feb 2008 to 08 July 2008, during said time period that U.S. Judge Miller, outside his ministerial and discretionary scope, did deny Plaintiffs\u2019 efforts to provide $25 Million Dollar Rewards to save the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty -- on a Reward life value equal to said\u00a0 $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars bestowed by the U.S. Executive Branch on Terrorists. <br>. 89.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller\u2019s denial was in \u201cconflict of interest,\u201d outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under \u201cUSC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in Miller\u2019s Private Person Persona In decisions that impact the question of human-life during administration of any private or government institution, meanwhile understanding there are many ways to administratively save or destroy lives, directly and indirectly, or by manipulation of nonfeasance, misfeasance, or malfeasance. <br>. 90.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thus, Miller\u2019s denial of Case H-08-60 did have the same detrimental and life-destroying effect as applied by the U.S. Executive Branch against Sgt.

Fouty;  Defendant Gray Miller  violated Title 18 USC,  Sec. 2382 -  MISPRISION OF TREASON (18 U.S.C., § 2382  MISPRISION OF TREASON perpetrated to a math certainty by former U.S. Attorney General Gonzales in manipulating his own designed $50,000 Death Rewards against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, meanwhile posting life-saving Mega Million dollar rewards for al Qaida and al Shura Terrorists while said Terrorists, in violation of Geneva Convention 3, tortured to death U.S. soldier Prisoners of War life-valued by Gonzales at $50,000 while Gonzales denied any reward increases on their lives while Gonzales\'s Higher life valued Terrorists surrogates tortured said U.S. Prisoners of War to Death in violation of Geneva Convention 3).<br> Defendant Gray Miller\'s MISPRISION - In its larger sense, this word is used to signify every considerable misdemeanor, which has not a certain name given to it in the law; and it is said that a misprision is contained in every treason or felony whatever. In its narrower sense it is the concealment of a crime.<br>Defendant Gray Miller\'s MISPRISION OF TREASON is the concealment of treason, by being merely passive for if any assistance be given, to the traitor, it makes the party a principal, as there are no accessories in treason. It is the duty of every good citizen, knowing of a treason or felony having been committed to inform a magistrate. Silently to observe the commission of a felony, without using any endeavors to apprehend the offender, is a misprision.<br>Misprisions which are merely positive, are denominated contempts or high misdemeanors; as, for example, dissuading a witness from giving evidence. <br>Defendant Gray Miller\'s MISPRISION OF FELONY - Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the U.S., conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the U.S. 18 USC. Misprision of felony, is the like concealment of felony, without giving any degree of maintenance to the felon for if any aid be given him, the party becomes an accessory after the fact. <br>Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361.

Also see: Koranic Law of Middle East Countries.<br>This criminal complaint is based on these facts:<br>. 1.   The information of this issue indicates that captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were murdered during the time period of 22 Feb 2008 to 08 July 2008, during the same time period that U.S. Judge Miller, outside his ministerial and discretionary scope, did deny Plaintiffs’ efforts to provide $25 Million Dollar Rewards to save the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty -- on a Reward life value equal to said  $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars bestowed by the U.S. Executive Branch on Terrorists. <br>. 2.    SEE: Rewards for Justice, Washington , D.C.20522-0303, 1-800-877-3927; RFJ@state.gov; <a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/</a><br><a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page=wanted_captured&language=english" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page...</a> <br>. 3.    This statistic and the dollar difference in Rewards is profound evidence that "$50,000 \'Death Sentence\' Rewards" are a catastrophic part of mutilation,torture, and murder "War Crimes" motivated against captured U.S. soldier Prisoneers of War in Iraq and in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977. <br> . 4.   U.S. Citizens who volunteer for Military Service are not forewarned that if they are captured by Terrorists in Iraq or Afghanistan their own government will betray them and offer rewards for them that are 500 times lower than the U.S. government offers for the very same Mega Million / $25 Million Dollar valued terrorists who will mutilate and torture the same captured U.S. soldier Prisoneers of War reward-valued 500 time less at "$50,000 \'Death Sentence\' Rewards." The irony and treachery are astounding and most shocking. <br>.5. Complaint against U.S. Judge Gray Miller as corruptly acting in Private Persona outside his ministerial and discretionary scope: <br> . 6.  .  This “5th Circuit Rule, Judicial Misconduct Complaint” against U.S. Judge Gray Miller (1) describes pre-jurisdiction and pre-decision disqualification conditions that were a matter of record and obvious from the facts available to Judge Gray Miller before he wrongfully acted to expropriate wrongful jurisdiction and then issue a decision in U.S. Case H-08-60 while he was disqualified pursuant to 28 USC, Section 455, in “conflict-of-interest,” while he was “disqualified” outside his ministerial and discretionary scope, by reason of the fact that Miller was a President-GW-Bush nominee / appointee had knowingly taken jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, which listed Bush and several of his Cabinet Secretaries as Interested Parties who were likely to become “Defendants.” <br>. 7. . Miller possessed obviously available information that Miller was a nominee / appointee of President G.W. Bush to Miller’s position of U.S. District Court Judge. <br>. 8.   Miller possessed obviously available information from the Caption (See Appendix 1, appended herein) in Plaintiff’s case H-08-60 that President G.W. Bush was named as an “interested Party” in Plaintiff’s case H-08-60. <br>. 9. Miller possessed obviously available information that Plaintiff’s Case H-08-60 named in the caption former U.S. Attorney General Gonzales (a Bush nominated / appointed U.S. Attorney General) and was informed that Plaintiff’s Case H-08-60 named, in the caption (See Appendix 1, appended herein), a substantial number of Bush nominated / appointed Cabinet Secretaries as “Interested Parties.” <br>. 10. Miller possessed obviously available information of “USC Title 28, Section 455 - Disqualification of justice, judge, or magistrate judge (a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” <br>. 11.  “The thing speaks for itself” (Res Ips Loquitor) that USC Title 28, Section 455 was clearly applicable or, at least, of question for Miller in Plaintiff’s Case H-08-60. <br>. 12. “The thing speaks for itself” (Res Ips Loquitor) that Miller did not query the Judicial Council of the Fifth Judicial Circuit to ask an opinion regarding Miller’s plans to commandeer jurisdiction as President Bush’s protégé, nominee / appointee, to  expropriate jurisdiction of Plaintiff’s Case H-08-60 away from other U.S. District Court judges who were “NOT” protégés, nominees, or appointees of President G.W. Bush and were not linked as nominees / appointees of the U.S. Executive Branch Culture of Torture that has provably worked to destroy the lives of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War. “The thing speaks for itself” (Res Ips Loquitor).  <br>. 13. Plaintiff’s complaint focuses on several basic areas regarding said unlawfully expropriated decision of Miller to take jurisdiction away from other better qualified U.S. judges despite Miller’s obvious “conflict of interest” disqualification under 28 USC, Section 455, before Miller issued decisions in Case-08-60. <br>.14. Miller took jurisdiction by snaking around the proscriptions of 28 USC, Section 455 and surreptitiously not notifying Plaintiffs of his identification as a Bush nominee / appointee; and, Miller took jurisdiction by not querying the Judicial Council of the Fifth Judicial Circuit to determine its opinion on Miller’s decision to take jurisdiction when there were numerous valid questions against Miller taking jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 fully informed he was a Bush nominee / appointee and disqualified under Title 28, Section 455 prior to taking jurisdiction. <br>. 15.  Furthermore, Miller did not take jurisdiction under verification or sworn oath that he was not subject to disqualification under Title 28, Section 455, or under verification or sworn oath that he was not acting outside his ministerial and discretionary scope in conflict as a Bush Nominee / Appointee. <br> . 16.   The information of Case H-08-60 explained that part of Plaintiffs’ litigation of Case H-08-60 was seeking and offering rewards of $25 Million (See Appendix 2 and also see <a href="http://kristianmenchaca.com/" rel="nofollow">http://kristianmenchaca.com/</a>) expected to come from jury verdicts in Case H-08-60 on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. In conjunction with information of Case H-08-60, Plaintiffs were offering rewards of $25 Million on the internet (See Appendix 2) linked to litigation of Case H-08-60 in efforts to save the lives of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty who were facing mutilation, torture, and death in Iraq . <br>. 17. Miller ignored the plight of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty when he snaked around the proscriptions of USC Title 28, Section 455 and wrongfully took jurisdiction apparently focused on dismissing Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 against his mentor, Bush, and his mentor’s Attorneys General and Cabinet Secretaries. <br>. 18.    Miller denied Plaintiffs’ Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 on 25 Feb 2008; and, Plaintiffs never received information of Miller’s said denial from the Court Clerk. Miller’s said “Denial” was issued outside his Ministerial and Discretionary scope by reason of the facts indicating he was not qualified to take jurisdiction because he was disqualified pursuant to 28 USC, Section 455 in his “Conflict of Interest.” <br>. 19.    Miller’s wrongful denial of 25 Feb 2008 thereby had catastrophic consequences for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty --  who Miller ignored when he issued his denial, which had the effect of allowing unchallenged continuance of said U.S. Executive Branch issued “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards,” effectively motivating Terrorists to mutilate, torture, and murder captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in “War Crime” violations of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977 as further explained, herein. <br>. 20.    Linked to Miller’s Denial and bizarre refusal to address the life and death issues of Case H-08-60 and Miller instead focus on the $450 filing fee marks Miller and reveals his unbalanced state of mind in that he focused on trivia while the lives of three captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War hung in the balance endangered by Miller’s Denial and delays of Case H-08-60. <br>. 21.   Miller, by taking jurisdiction outside his ministerial and discretionary scope as disqualified under 28 Section 455 and by wrongfully denying Plaintiffs’ life saving efforts of Case H-08-60 on 25 Feb 2008, Miller effectively removed any lawful potential for change in said U.S. Executive Branch issued “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards.” <br>. 22.   Thus, Miller, disqualified under Title 28, Section 455 and then acting in his Private Persona, issued an unlawful denial in Case H-08-60 which prevented Case H-08-60 from going forward to make life saving efforts on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br> . 23.   Disqualified under Title 28, Section 455 and by denying Case H-08-60 to go forward in a timely manner to publich “equal-to-terrorist-$25-Million-reward-conditions” of $25 million dollar Rewards on behalf of the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, Miller, acting in his Private Persona, did interfere with Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 and prevented “equal-to-terrorist-$25-Million-reward-conditions” from being heard by a jury in a timely manner. <br>. 24.       As a connected result of Miller’s wrongdoing in making the $450 filing fee a more important focus of Case H-08-60 than the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, while Miller acted outside the ministerial and discretionary scope of U.S. District Court Judge and, instead, acted in his Private Persona as “Gray Miller,” the body of Sgt. Keith Maupin was recovered in Iraq on 30 March 2008, and the bodies of Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were recovered on 09 July 2008. <br>. 25.    The fact that Miller acted in the above described manner indicates Miller is unbalanced in his mental abilities to recognize that there is a profound difference between life and death issues compared to the trivia of his emphasis on the $450 filing fee. <br> . 26.  In conformance with 5th Cir. R., Plaintiff is not disputing Miller’s wrongful denial of Plaintiffs’ Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 even though Miller’s denial should have no standing. Plaintiff MacKenzie is pointing out the obvious conditions that existed before Miller took wrongful jurisdiction and issued his wrongful Denial. <br> . 27.   It should be noted that there are four family Plaintiffs listed in Case H-08-60. Julieta Vasquez-MacKenzie the Aunt of Kristian Menchaca is unemployed, without funds, and should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not “U.S. Judge Gray Miller”).  <br> . 28.   Cesar Menchaca, brother of Kristian Menchaca is unemployed, without funds, and should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not “U.S. Judge Gray Miller”). <br>  . 29.  Maria Guadalupe Vasquez, mother of Christian Menchaca, under employed based on her economic condition, should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not “U.S. Judge Gray Miller”). <br> .30.   Kenneth MacKenzie was allowed to proceed in U.S. District Court to U.S. Supreme Court twice under his current economic profile in U.S. Supreme Court cases 95-9090 and 97-7616, yet was denied Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 in Miller’s denial of 25 Feb 2008, by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not “U.S. Judge Gray Miller”)..   <br>. 31. Plaintiffs’ filed Case H-08-60 seeking orders to make rewards equally available to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War; and, Plaintiffs sought damages to be paid by Defendant Gonzales to the Vasquez Menchaca family, while listing several “Interested Parties” including Bush as possible Defendants should investigation indicate they were culpable in the wrongful death of Plaintiffs’ family member, PFC Kristian Vasquez Menchaca, who was captured by Terrorist insurgents, during June 2006, together with PFC Thomas Tucker in Yosifiya, Iraq and both barbarically tortured to death largely as a consequence said discriminatory “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” broadcast by the U.S. government after their surrender / capture (not before surrender / capture).   <br>. 32.    Plaintiffs’ complaint is that Judge Gray Miller wrongfully took jurisdiction of this Case H-08-60 in disregard of Title 28, Section 455; and, after taking jurisdiction, Miller’s Denial of Plaintiffs’ Application to Proceed Without Payment was made outside Miller’s ministerial and discretionary scope and made in a condition that was a violation of Title 28, Section 455 regarding Case H-08-60. <br> . 33.     In retrospect of Miller taking jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, after the facts are considered that former Attorney General Gonzales is listed as a Defendant, President Bush’s name is listed as a “PARTY,” and a large number of Bush Cabinet Secretary appointees are listed as “Interested Parties” in H-08-60, why did Judge Miller not “do what is easy” and simply allow another judge who was not a Bush nominee / appointee take jurisdiction of H-08-60? The obvious answer to the obvious answer is that Miller obviously was obviously motivated by some interest to protect his Mentor, G.W. Bush and his several Cabinet Secretaries from facing the unpleasant prospect of answering for their structured and minipulated U.S. “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” against captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War that targeted them after capture motivating the very same Terrorist groups who were beneficiaries of life saving Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards to mutilate, torture, and murder “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’…” targeted U.S. soldiers ruthlessly denied “Fourteenth Amendment” equality of Terrorist life saving Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards that proveably saved the lives of all 100% of Terrorists who surrendered in Iraq, while U.S. “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” ruthlessly targeted and motivated the mutilation, torture, and murder of all 100% of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War in Iraq, said Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar life Rewards contrasting to “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” and thereby illustrating a relentlessly targeted low life value to captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War in criminal violation of Geneva Conventions and also in criminal violation of the U.S.RICO Act and U.S. Treason Act by encouraging and motivating Terrorist organization enemies of the United States (whose members benefitted after surrender by said Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards that motivated their Iraqi Sunni and Shiite and Kurdish captors not to mutilate, torture and murder them after capture) to mutilate, torture, and murder all 100% of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War. <br>. 34.   From Petitioners’ common sense point of view in this matter, Judge Gray Miller appears to be mentally disabled, or worse, which indicates he may be as mentally disabled as those in the U.S. Executive Branch whose life destroying reward policies he appears to support.    <br>. 35.   Judge Gray Miller’s decision to take jurisdiction of Plaintiffs’ U.S. District Court Case H-08-60, Houston, after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as Defendant (Gonzales was a President-G.W.-Bush-appointee, like Miller), after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing as “Interested-Parties,”  members of the U.S. Executive Branch selected by Bush, and after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing President G.W. Bush as an “Interested Party,” President G.W. Bush being the very same party who had nominated Miller to his decision-making position as District Court judge, Miller wrongfully took “conflict-of-interest” jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 when it was flooded with “Interested Parties,” including President Bush, whose presence in Case H-08-60 indicated an “extreme-conflict-of-interest” should Miller take jurisdiction of Case H-08-60. <br>. 36.   SEE: “USC Title 28, Section 455. Disqualification of justice, judge, or magistrate judge <br>(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned. <br>(b) He shall also disqualify himself in the following circumstances: <br>(1) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding; <br>. 37.    Miller took jurisdiction informed by the caption in Case H-08-60 of the names of the listed Executive Branch Defendant, Attorney General Gonzales (nominated by Bush), and the Interested Parties, including Miller’s mentor, President G.W. Bush, listed on the caption of Case H-08-60, which jurisdiction was immediately apparent as a “conflict of interest” to Miller due to the fact that Bush had nominated Miller to Miller’s position as District Court judge; and, obviously if Miller took jurisdiction, then Miller could repay Bush’s nomination favor by dismissing Case H-08-60 civil crime tort complaints against Bush and his Executive Branch Attorney Generals and Bush’s Cabinet Secretaries and dismissing Case H-08-60 civil crime tort complaints against Bush, himself, wherein Bush and his Executive Branch Secretaries and  Attorneys General could reasonably be named as <br>Defendants in Case H-08-60 should further facts indicate Bush and his Secretaries ought to be named as Defendants. <br>  . 39. Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 informed that :<br> (1) he was in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona.  <br> (2) Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 informed that “USC Title 28, Section 455 applied: “(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned . . .” <br>  (3) Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 surreptitiously without informing Petitioners he was a Bush nominee / appointee, <br> (4) took jurisdiction in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona obviously intent on issuing a denial that would likely operate to also deny “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” in Iraq and Afghanistan any opportunity at equal Life saving $25 Million Rewards that could come from Case H-08-60 and thereby save their lives in the same manner as said $25 Million dollar Rewards were saving the lives of Terrorists who surrendered in Iraq; <br> (5) Miller in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acted in his Private Person Persona while ignoring “USC Title 28, Section 455, … ‘(1) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding’; <br> (6) Before Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona, he was informed by Case H-08-60 of the following concerns on pages 343 and 344 of Plaintiffs’ primary Geneva Convention & RICO Crime complaints, wherein Plaintiffs’ were seeking damages and Court orders in an effort to save the lives of “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” targeted with U.S. “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” offered in Iraq and Afghanistan, Plaintiffs’ litigation of Case H-08-60 offering rewards of $25 Million expected to come from jury verdicts on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – and Plaintiffs offering rewards of $25 Million on the internet linked to litigation of Case H-08-60, said Reward Life Values sought by Plaintiffs to come from expected judgements in Case H-08-60 and to come from Reward donations sought by Plaintiffs to be made by the U.S. public to Reward Funds that Plaintiffs sought to establish as connected to Case H-08-60, under jurisdiction of the Court. <br> . 40.   SEE: U.S. Case H-08-60 ( Houston, Texas ) ¶ “...488. order that that U.S. Attorney General Mukasey (In Office: 09 Nov 2007)-Rice-Gates be restrained from administratively ‘bad-faith’ manipulating further torture-murders together with terrorist accessories, at large, and all previous reward offers based on said Title 1, “Counterterrorism fund,” Title 18, Title 22, and other U.S. Code Titles on “Rewards” for captured U.S. troops and “Rewards” for captured Terrorists be totaled and future rewards from said fund be offered as a $25 million dollar reward offered for each captured U.S. soldier returned alive into U.S. custody, said $25 million dollar rewards for U.S. Soldiers’ life-value to at least equal for U.S. Soldiers the rate of $25 million dollar rewards currently offered ($77 million previously paid) to save the lives of terrorists. <br>   . 41.   Apparently, the current U.S. Attorney General Mukasey (09 Nov 2007) , and Secretary Of State Rice intend to continue to administratively ‘bad-faith’ violate the U.S. Treason Act and deny equal life saving rewards allocated from said U.S. `Counterterrorism Fund\' reward money provisioned under USC TITLE I, Section 101 and under “TITLE 18, §ection 3071, Section 3072, and 22 U.S.C. Section 2708, money provisioned for the release of Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, 25, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, and  (5) Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, 19, of Waterford, Michigan, captured 12 May 2007, 2007 in Al Taqa, Iraq; and, … intend to stand by to allow Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty to be tortured to death as were 101st Airborne Division soldiers Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston, Texas, and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, Oregon.  Therefore, it is most urgent that Mukasey (09 Nov 2007) -Rice-Gates be restrained from administratively ‘bad-faith’ manipulating further torture-muders together with terrorist accessories, at large, who have demonstrated they commit war crimes against $50,000 low reward captured U.S. soldiers and violate the Geneva Conventions (I, III, IV), and, Geneva Convention Protocols I and II relative to the treatment of PRISONERS OF WAR.” <br> .42.  Therefore, again, more U.S. Soldiers are certain to be tortured, while the current U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey (09 Nov 2007) and Secretary Of State Rice watch, meanwhile withholding previously allocated reward money, already to be paid from said U.S. `Counterterrorism Fund,\' reward money provisioned under USC TITLE I, Section 101 and under “TITLE 18, §ection 3071, Section 3072, and ignoring 22 U.S.C. Section 2708 to save the lives of war prisoners Maupin, Jimenez and Fouty... <br>   . 43. Without signing any oath directly answering Title 28, Section 455, in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona, Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 and issued his denial which somehow never reached Plaintiffs in the mail; and, Miller then did nothing while said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – were murdered, while denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that protected the terrorists Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while denying same to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br>  .44  While Miller did nothing in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona, the death notifications regarding all three of said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin (body found 30 Mar 2008), Spc. Alex R. Jimenez (body found 09 Jul 2008) and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty (body found 09 Jul 2008) -- became published in the news media. <br> . 45.   Miller’s said denial in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona on Case H-08-60 and essential denial of immediate jury trial and delays caused by the circumstances of Miller’s behavior essentially maintained the operation of U.S. Executive Branch treasonable “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards,” which previously had been instrumental in the mutilation-torture-murders of Pvt Kristian Menchaca (Plaintiffs’ family member), Pvt Thomas Tucker, and Pvt Joseph Anziak, all who were not informed at enlistment that the U.S. Executive Branch had plans to slander, defame, betray, and otherwise lower their Reward life values 500 times below the lives of Terrorist enemies of the United States during Wartime to such an extent that said treasonable “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” essentially established that the lives of “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” were essentially valued at a level of “TRASH,” at 500 times less than the lives of Terrorist enemies of the United States. <br>. 46.  Said treasonable “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” that Miller manipulated to "continue-in-progress" was maintained by Miller making the U.S. Court filing fee more important than higher life saving $25 Million Rewards for captured US soldier Prisoners Of War, thereby in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona not allowing immediate processing of Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60, which sought to raise the “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” to a higher level of $25 Million equal to those life saving $25 Million Rewards the U.S. advertised and paid on behalf of terrorist enemies of the United States, while Pvt Kristian Menchaca (Plaintiffs’ family member), Pvt Thomas Tucker, and Pvt Joseph Anziak, Sgt. Keith Maupin (body found 30 Mar 2008), Spc. Alex R. Jimenez (body found 09 Jul 2008) and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty (body found 09 Jul 2008) were tortured to death and murdered by the very same terrorists who were beneficiaries of said higher “mega-million-to-$25-Million-dollar” life Rewards as advertised by Defendant Gonzales and the U.S. Executive Branch “Interested Parties,” Attorney Generals Ashcroft and Mukasey, Secretaries Rice, Rumsfeld, and Gates at U.S. Department of State and Department of Justice “Rewards For Justice” Web sites. <br>. 47. SEE: Rewards for Justice, Washington , D.C.20522-0303, 1-800-877-3927; RFJ@state.gov; <a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/</a> <br><a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page=wanted_captured&language=english" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page...</a> <br>. 48.   There are many reasons why Judge Gray Miller obviously should have not taken wrongful “Conflict-of-Interest” jurisdiction of Case H-08-60; however, Miller’s wrongful application of “Bush-Conflict-of-Interest” misappropriation of jurisdiction and Miller’s wrongful application of “Bush-Conflict-of-Interest” authority could have easily been assigned to another U.S. District Court judge, essentially assigned to a non-Bush nominee not in conflict. <br>. 49.    However, Miller grabbed a “Bush-Conflict-of-Interest” expropriation- control of Case H-08-60 and enabled himself as a self-appointed surrogate of Bush in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona to deny Plaintiffs any opportunity for a public trial that would expose the treasonable “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” structures of the U.S. Executive Branch targeting “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” with U.S. “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977, as described in Case H-08-60. <br>  .50.  Miller’s “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona had catastrophic death consequences for the remaining three terrorist-captured U.S. soldier Prisoners Of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – whose lives might well have been saved by timely application of the U.S. Rewards that Plaintiffs sought to equalize, in balance with the equal-protection-of-the-law provisions of the U.S. Fourteenth Amendment, as equal in value to the Mega-Million dollar rewards the U.S. Executive Branch was then currently advertising and paying-out, and paying-out on behalf of captured terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan, which had the effect of saving the lives of “at-large” terrorists who surrendered, as said U.S. mega-million-dollar Rewards were advertised at U.S. government Department of Justice and Department of State published “Rewards For Justice” Web sites. <br>.51. SEE: Rewards for Justice, Washington , D.C.20522-0303, 1-800-877-3927; RFJ@state.gov; <a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/</a> <br><a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page=wanted_captured&language=english" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page...</a> <br>. 52.    Miller’s wrongful “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona in application of “Bush-Conflict-of-Interest” judicial authority to deny Plaintiffs’ Application to proceed to hearing and immediate trial of Case H-08-60, essentially interfered with life saving U.S. Reward publications of “Fourteenth Amendment Equal-to-terrorist-$25 Million Dollar Rewards for Captured U.S. Soldiers” on behalf of the lives of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, who were then, 22 Feb 2008 being held as terrorist-captured U.S. soldier Prisoners Of War in Iraq and facing barbaric mutilation, torture, and murder at the hands of their terrorist captors. Hearing and immediate trial of Case H-08-60 would undoubtedly have changed all this had not Miller expropriated jurisdiction away from other U.S. judges who were not self-appointed Henchmen for the U.S. Executive Branch White House. <br> . 53.   Plaintiffs waited on Miller’s decision regarding their “Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee” (Forma Pauperis) from February to June 2008. Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie then contacted the Court Clerk to determine if the Court assessed additional charges to issue Summons in Case H-08-60. The Clerk explained that Miller had denied Plaintiffs’ “Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee” on 25 Feb 2008 and the Clerk had mailed him a copy of Judge Miller’s Denial during February 2008. <br>. 54.   Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie explained he was unaware of Miller’s denial, had never received notice of Miller’s Denial in the mail, and requested a copy from the U.S. District Court Clerk. <br> . 55.  Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie then filed an Appeal of Miller’s said denial with the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans . <br>. 56.   Subsequently, Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie learned from U.S. News media that Sgt. Keith Maupin’s body remains had been found, 30 March 2008, in Iraq after the U.S. Defense Department had paid more than $200,000 to Informants to reveal the location. Later, 09 Jul 2008, the U.S. News Media announced the body recoveries of Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br> . 57.   Based on U.S. Army intelligence that Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were alive at the time Plaintiffs filed their lawsuit Case H-08-60, then Miller’s denial in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona on Plaintiffs’ “Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee” on 25 Feb 2008 effectively interfered with and blocked Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 efforts to save Sgt. Keith Maupin’s life by Plaintiffs’ seeking higher $25 Million Dollar ‘Fourteenth Amendment Equal’ Rewards on behalf of  “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” who were apparently evaluated as “Undermen” by the Miller-supported U.S. Executive Branch at $50,000 Dollar ‘Death Sentence’ Reward, each. <br>. 58.   Hence, Miller’s denial in “conflict of interest,” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona on Plaintiffs’ “Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee,” on 25 Feb 2008, effectively interfered with and blocked Plaintiffs’ Case-H-08-60-sought “Fourteenth-Amendment-EQUAL-To-Terrorists” $25 Million life-saving Rewards on behalf of  “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War”; and, Miller thereby corruptly and criminally denied the “U.S. Bush White House $50,000-Dollar-‘Death-Sentence’-Reward-targeted Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty an “equal chance” to be $25 Million “Reward-equal” to terrorist enemies of the United States during wartime. Essentially, in bad faith and conflict of interest, Miller deliberately, corruptly and criminally, with malice aforethought, expropriated jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 apparently with the premeditated purpose of murderously denying “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” the possibility of “equal” life saving Rewards of $25 Million that had already proven to save the lives of 100% of all Terrorists who had surrendered in Iraq. <br>. 59.      Miller’s murderously treasonable denial of Case H-08-60 efforts to save “U.S. Bush White House $50,000-Dollar-‘Death-Sentence’-Reward-targeted Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty from the treasonable effects of the “U.S. Bush White House $50,000-Dollar-‘Death-Sentence’-Rewards clearly revealed Miller’s murderous Treason against the soldiers and national defense of the United States that is outside Miller’s ministerial and discretionary scope, which proveably indicates Miller must be impeached and prosecuted for his murders and treasons against the people and military personel of the United States.  <br>. 60.     Miller premeditatedly taking jurisdiction, when Title 28 Section 455 clearly indicated he should recuse himslef, shows that Miller intended to issue denials that would treasonably cost the lives of “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” as Bush’s and Miller’s record clearly illustrates. Said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br>. 61.     The facts indicate that Miller had information that indicated “U.S. $50,000-Dollar-‘Death-Sentence’-Rewards had targeted Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, before Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60. Miller took jurisdiction that was not his to take by snaking around Title 28, Section 455 and issuing denials against Plaintiffs’ efforts to save the lives of said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br>. 62.     Should another U.S. District Court judge, instead of Miller, have taken jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 and allowed $25 Million dollar Rewards in defiance of the Bush U.S. Executive Branch $50K Death Rewards, it would be almost impossible for the Bush U.S. Executive Branch to appeal in front of the public as at that perticular juncture the Bush Administration would be then be publicly recognized as appealing to restore its treasonably low $50,000 Death Sentence Rewards to continue motivating Terrorists to mutilate, torture, and murder “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” as contrasted alongside Bush-Gonzales-Rice $25 Million dollar Rewards for terrorists, which said $25 Million dollar Rewards if allowed for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War would be 14th Amendment Equal and thereby would create higher potential to save the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War. <br> . 63.     Miller was informed of this and instead elected to corruptly expropriate jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 when other U.S. District Court Judges could have been assigned to Case H-08-60 had Miller not expropriated Case H-08-60 for his own wrongful decision making process, which directly and indirectly aided and abbeted life destroying Terrorism against said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War. <br>. 64.      Miller was informed that such an Executive Branch Appeal would reveal the U.S. Executive Branch had been committing furtive and surruptitious life-destroying Treason against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Title 18 US Code once the Appeal was seen alongside the body count of $50,000 Death Sentence U.S. soldiers in the light of Public Opinion. <br>. 65.      Moreover, the tortured bodies of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller’s Treasons in denying them right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. provided to Terrorists would also expose Miller’s U.S. Code Treasons against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War as Miller had operated his U.S. Code Treason violations when he administratively and judicially murdered Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty by means of his said denials in Case H-08-60. Whle “murder” appears to be a strong term, this stronng term murder is exactly what was inflicted on captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller’s Treasons in denying U.S. soldier Prisoners of War right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. provided to Terrorists by Miller’s mentally unbalanced behavior of Miller insisting that a $450 Court fee was more important than the lives of said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards. <br>. 66.     Miller’s denial of Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 effectively identified Miller as an “Anti-American” judge issuing “Auschwitz-type” judicial decisions in support of “Auschwitz-type” U.S. Attorney Generals and “Treasonable U.S. Executive Branch Secretaries” that produced “Auschwitz-type” ‘Death-Sentences’ against “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War.” <br>. 67.      It is not hyperbole to say “Cain slew Able”; and, Miller slew Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, by means of denying Case H-08-60 Plaintiffs’ efforts to proceed. While it is obvious that Miller’s judicial denial of Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 did relate to the Terrorist murders of Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, and was both indirect and direct, this condition does not make Miller’s slaying of Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez any less truthful. <br>. 68.   Miller’s Forma Pauperis denial interfered with Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 efforts to increase U.S. Reward amounts to $25 Million each for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War and on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller’s Treasons in denying Maupin’s, Fouty’s, and Jimenez’s Fourteenth Amendment right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars already bestowed to Terrorists by Attorney Generals Ashcroft, Gonzales, and Mukaysey, said  $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars having been criminally and treasonably denied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez by Attorney General Ashcroft, Attorney General Gonzales, Sectretaries Rice & Rumsfeld denying $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars, then later treasonably denied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez sucessively by Attorney General Mukaysey, Secretary Rice, and Gates. <br>. 69.      Miller’s wrongful expropriation of Case H-08-60 and refusal to recuse himself indicates “the thing speaks for itself (‘Res Ips Loquitor’),” a Pattern of behavior by Miller that incorporates the same manipulation of “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” that Miller continued when he ignored the fact that he was a Bush Nominee / Appointee, and concealed from Plaintiffs the fact that he was a Bush Nominee, who most wrongfully ignored USC Title 28, Section 455, and wrongfully took jurisdiction which was outside Miller’s Ministerial and Discretionary scope according to the provisions of  USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby Miller issuing Miller’s denial in Case H-08-60 that effectively blocked Plainfiffs; and, furthermore, following from Miller’s denial, the U.S. Court Clerk did not notify Plaintiffs in a timely manner by certified U.S. Mail regarding these most important “life-and-death” issues as Miller’s Denial applied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez. The Clerk’s notification by regular U.S. mail proved to be inadequate as Plaintiffs never received any word of Millers denial until Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie contacted the Clerk in June 2008 to determine if the Court charged for issuance of Summons.<br> . 70.      Miller’s entire pattern of conduct from his wrongful expropriation of  Case H-08-60 to his predictable “Denial” of “Plaintiffs’ Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)” indicates that Miller had decided to subordinate the “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” considerations to the even lower amount of a $450 filing fee for Case H-08-60 before he wrongfully expropriated jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 to  manipulate his wrongful denial of Plaintiffs efforts to proceed to a speedy trial and hearing.  <br>. 71.      Before unlawfully usurping  and expropriating jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, Miller apparently premeditated a criminal plan whereby after wrongfully expropriating jurisdiction, Miller ignored and furthermore trivialized Case H-08-60 by criminally subordinating the life and death reward issue considerations of the U.S. Executive Branch “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” offers to Miller’s even lower criminal amount of a $450 filing fee for Case H-08-60 requiring a $450 filing fee to be paid before Miller would consider the fact that captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez -- in Iraq would be murdered by their Terrorist Captors while Miller trivialized their lives at an even lower amount of a $450 Court filing fee compared to “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards”. <br>. 72.      While there were several ways said $450 Court filing fee for Case H-08-60 could have been processed or handled, Miller manipulatively and unecessarily selected the single condition that created the most delay and liklihood of mutilation, torture, and “certain-murder” against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez – by Miller selectively denying “Plaintiffs’ Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)” for Case H-08-60, which sought to change the Bush Executive Branch “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War to become equal to higher life-saving Rewards of $25 Million that Bush’s Executive Branch was offering and paying to save lives of surrendered terrorists and “at large” terrorists from April 2004 through 09 July 2008 and to the present time, but was treasonably denying to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War unto torture, mutilation and murder prohibited by Geneva Convention III of 1949 and The Geneva Protocols of 1977. <br>.73.    Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 set forth higher life-saving Rewards of $25 Million each for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War  -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez – that Miller treasonably denied as equal $25 Million dollar rewards to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War  -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez --  while Miller was actively and deliberately in violation of USC Title 28, Section 455 and thereby acting outside of his Ministerial and Discretionary scope. <br>. 74.     When the overall pattern of Miller’s behavior is examined, from the time prior to his wrongful taking jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, in conflict as a Bush appointee surruptitiously not informing Plaintiffs, a Bush appointee denying captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War  -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez – the $25 Million Dollar Rewards sought by Plaintiffs in Case H-08-60, it is most apparent that Miller intended to insure that the White House Reward Treasons against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War would continue to motivate terrorist enemies of the United States to inflict mutilation, torture, and murder against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, whose Reward life values had obviously been slandered and defamed by “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” to the “lowest life value” in Iraq and Afghanistan, in fact slandered to 500 times less than the most wanted Terrorists, bin Ladin and Zawahiri, thereby portraying captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War as virtually valueless “trash” to their Moslem captors who well understood the Moslem tradition of “Blood Money.” <br>. 75.      The horiffic consequences of said treasonable Executive Branch “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” policy were that Terrorist captors consistently and predictably mutilated, tortured, and murdered captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977 as inspired by “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards”. <br>. 76.      What is most revealing about Miller’s wrongful behavior is that Case H-08-60 redunantly set forth the details of said treasonable Executive Branch “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” policy and plainly explained how said $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” policy had produced an ever increasing body count of predictably mutilated, tortured, and murdered captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977. <br>.77.      Yet, Miller, with this information of Case H-08-60 in hand, surruptitiously took jurisdiction apparently with the most vile and criminal of intentions to deny Plaintiffs’ efforts to increase rewards on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War who were Victims of the White House Executive Branch “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” policy. <br>. 78.     Miller’s wrongful expropriation of Case H-08-60 and refusal to recuse himself indicates that his deliberate denial of Plaintiffs’ “Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)” was premeditatedly made with hostile and murderous indifference to the fate of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez. <br>. 79.      Miller wrongfully interfered with Case H-08-60 by denying it from being heard by a trail jury and Grand Jury. It is obvious that Miller intended to prevent higher Rewards for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War and intended to stand by to allow Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty to be tortured to death by Terrorist captors in Iraq . And, this is essentially what happened as a result of Miller denying Case H-08-60 going forward to trial, thereby treasonably denying equal $25 Million dollar rewards to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War  -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez --  while Miller was actively and deliberately in violation of USC Title 28, Section 455 and thereby acting outside of his Ministerial and Discretionary scope. <br>. 80.      This sequence of events is so obvious in Miller’s behavior that “the thing speaks for itself (‘Res Ips Loquitor’)”: Miller’s behavior and denial of Case H-08-60 as being connected to the deaths of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty by denying Case H-08-60 from going forward to trial based on Miller’s perverse demand that the $450 court filing fee be paid instead of waiving it in the interest of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War  -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, thereby denied and prevented higher Rewards to save their lives as equally as the U.S. Executive Branch was saving Terrorist lives with the higher $25 Million dollar Rewards it advertised at its several “Rewards for Justice” Web Sites located at the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of State, at the same time Miller’s treasonable denial was in effect from 25 Feb 2008 to the present, August 2008. <br>. 81.   SEE: Rewards for Justice, Washington , D.C.20522-0303, 1-800-877-3927; RFJ@state.gov; <a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/</a> <br><a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page=wanted_captured&language=english" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page...</a> <br>. 82.      Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez had U.S. Fourteenth Amendment rights to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars to be treated with at least the same life-saving reward equality as Terrorist enemies of the United States and not to be treasonably slandered so far downward as to be publicly announced in the media as being assigned by their own government as at the lowest reward values, “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards,” in Iraq, unto 500 times less reward life value than the terrorist enemies of the United States. <br>  .83.    At this particular juncture, it is most appropriate to question whether the U.S. Executive Branch in its advocacy of the lowest reward values, “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards,” in Iraq , unto 500 times less reward life value than the terrorist enemies of the United States was a violation of Title 18, Section 2381 – Treason, by deliberation or by error. <br>. 84.   SEE: USC Title 18, Section 2381 – Treason: Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. <br> . 85.     Plaintiff concedes that it is possible for high ranking persons in U.S. government, deficiently educated in the law, even unbalanced U.S. Court Judges like Miller, to ignorantly perpetrate and commit acts that violate United States Codes, including ignorant violations of RICO (especially RICO) and ignorant violations of Treason, completely oblivious of the violations. <br>. 86.      However, ignorance, if true, does not mean that ignorant perpetration of a serious U.S. Code violation linked to atrocities and War Crimes against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez -- should be ignored or forgiven. <br>. 87.      U.S. Judge Miller, after reading and learning the contents of Case H-08-60, obviously planned to expropriate wrongful jurisdiction with the purpose in mind of delaying consideration of U.S. Case H-08-60 in direct correlation of denying Maupin’s, Fouty’s, and Jimenez’s Fourteenth Amendment right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars to be Reward equal to Terrorists who were surviving surrender and capture in Iraq at a 100 % survival rate because they were blessed with Mega-Million dollar rewards while U.S. soldiers were cursed with “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards,” which obviously caused them to be tortured to death and murdered as targets of Bush’s White house Culture of Torture. <br>. 88.     The information of this issue indicates that captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were murdered during the time period of 22 Feb 2008 to 08 July 2008, during said time period that U.S. Judge Miller, outside his ministerial and discretionary scope, did deny Plaintiffs’ efforts to provide $25 Million Dollar Rewards to save the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty -- on a Reward life value equal to said  $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars bestowed by the U.S. Executive Branch on Terrorists. <br>. 89.     Miller’s denial was in “conflict of interest,” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in Miller’s Private Person Persona In decisions that impact the question of human-life during administration of any private or government institution, meanwhile understanding there are many ways to administratively save or destroy lives, directly and indirectly, or by manipulation of nonfeasance, misfeasance, or malfeasance. <br>. 90.      Thus, Miller’s denial of Case H-08-60 did have the same detrimental and life-destroying effect as applied by the U.S. Executive Branch against Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. Miller’s wrongful behavior in not recusing himself is very obvious on the face of the record in the matter of Case H-08-60 that “the thing speaks for itself (‘Res Ips Loquitor’).” <br> . 91. Complainant / Plaintiff requests this Court to appoint a \'Special Counsel\' to present information of the herein alleged Felonies to a U.S. Grand Jury if the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Attorney General, fails or refuses to present information of the listed Crimes, herein, to a Grand Jury, and Complainant / Plaintiff requests these wrongdoings be publicly investigated by U.S. law enforcement agencies to include FBI, Homeland Security Agency, and BATF; and, said Crime reports be provided to these agencies and to the various U.S. Grand Juries and courts having jurisdiction of the Crimes reported by Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie of the Kristian Menchaca Family and, within this Court\'s Jurisdiction. <br>. 92.  The Kristian Menchaca Family petitions this Court issue a Protective Order to include the protection of the U.S. Victim/Witness program to Protect the Family of Kristian Menchaca . <br>                                                              Complainant’s signature : S/ Kenneth MacKenzie, <br>                                                                   Printed name : Kenneth MacKenzie; <br>                                                                   title : Pro Se, Properia Persona, Complainant /<br>                                                                   Plaintiff member of Kristian Menchaca Family <br>                                                                  of U.S. Court Case H-08-60 - Houston, TX;<br>                                                                 Home address: 2314 Gentry, Houston, TX 77009;    <br>                                                                 H.

Justice: 888 848 5306<br> <br>Dear Governor Strickland, care of Kim Cocroft, legal counsel:<br>   This document directed to your attention is a Complaint that cites a series of Ohio state felony crimes.<br>. . .I request that this crime information document and related U.S. Court documents be submitted to a duly assembled Ohio state Grand Jury to provide them opportunity to consider my complaint of Ohio state-crime information that reads on my enclosed complaint currently submitted to U.S. court, Houston, Case MC-08-060.<br>   The essence of my U.S. court Case MC-08-060 is that former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales perpetrated War Crimes against terrorist captured United States troops after they were captured by premeditatedly offering life devalued “$50,000 Death Sentence “Rewards’” that violated the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977 as explained in MC-08-060, thereby directly motivating Terrorist Captors to murder Sgt. Keith Maupin, a citizen of Ohio in their custody, during April 2004. The Terrorist photographs of Maupin’s murder were provided by terrorists in a video sent to Al Jazeera News in the Middle East. While the terrorists claim the photos in their video are of Keith Maupin being murdered, the U.S. Army says they are of such poor quality that he cannot be identified and have declared him to be “officially” listed as “Missing In Action.”<br>   Former Attorney General Gonzales and current U.S. Attorney General Mukasey administrate and operate a U.S. Reward system that is designed to illustrate that terrorist-captured U.S. Soldiers are of low-life value that the U.S. will not negotiate to pay “RANSOM” to terrorists over their release. However “REWARDS” are not “RANSOM” and are not paid to Terrorists for release of terrorist-captured U.S. Soldiers. “REWARDS” aqre paid to non-Terrorist Informants who reveal intelligence information as to the whereabouts of terrorist-captured U.S. soldiers or reveal information as to the whereabouts of “at-large” terrorists or of Sunni terrorists who have been captured by Shiite Moslems or Kurds and the Attorney General has paid more than $77 million to such informants but deliberately denies U.S. Soldiers the same opportunity to be life-saved by rewards equal to those rewards he pays to save lives of Terrorists.<br>   The govt. of Ohio should be investigating the current U.S. Reward system as it is wrongfully, and criminally operated against terrorist captured U.S. soldiers. Keith Maupin likely enlisted in the U.S. Army in a Batavia, Ohio shopping mall on Ohio state soil. This fact, alone, among others gives Ohio jurisdiction to lawfully investigate and pursue these matters. <br>   Regarding the Sheriff and District Attorney of Claremont County and the Ohio State Attorney General, thus far, I have witnessed wrongful concealment and suppression of my crime reports and evasiveness. Gov Strickland has been essentially not very responsive, except to receive my complaints by email without any commentary. <br>   Nonfeasance and “doing-of-nothing” has a structure. It has a frame work that can be deconstructed nail by nail, “piece-by-piece.” The Genesis of the war crimes against Sgt Keith Maupin started in the state of Ohio, where he enlisted in the U.S. Army on Ohio soil. <br>   My time constraints do not allow me to pursue this complaint further in this letter as my time will be consumed by submitting my U.S. court Case MC-08-060, today, as a “War Crime” complaint to the Procurator’s Office at the International Criminal Court Office of the Prosecutor, Post Office Box 19519, 2500 CM The Hague, The Netherlands email <a href="mailto:otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int" rel="nofollow">otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int</a> , facsimile +31 70 515 8555.<br>   The provisions of Ohio state laws that apply to the Sheriff & District Attorney of Clermont County and to the Ohio Attorney General are listed below. I will give you more specifics, later. Although, at this point there is more than sufficient information for these parties to submit for prosecution to an Ohio state Grand Jury and to a federal Grand jury in Ohio. Why is this crime information being blocked and concealed from the perview, scope, view, and jurisdiction of state and federal Grand Juries in the state of Ohio? <br>   At the moment, I am witnessing Ohio violations 2921.22 Failure to report a crime or knowledge of a death or burn injury and 2921.32 Obstructing justice in the behavior of the Sheriff & District Attorney of Clermont County and the Ohio Attorney General regarding these crime issues. If I do not observe any effort on the part of these persons to submit crime information to the mentioned grand Juries within a reasonable time, I will commence vigorous litigation on these issues and responsible parties in essentially the same manner I am litigating crime complaints against former U.s. Attorney General Gonzales.       <br>Sincerely,<br>Kenneth MacKenzie<br>     <br>= = =   <br>Ohio state code:<br>CHAPTER 2901: GENERAL PROVISIONS<br>2901.01 General provisions definitions.<br>(A)(1)(9)...(d) A conspiracy or attempt to commit, or complicity in committing, any offense under division (A)(9)(a), (b), or (c) of this section.<br>CHAPTER 2903: HOMICIDE AND ASSAULT<br>2903.01 Aggravated murder.<br>(A) No person shall purposely, and with prior calculation and design, cause the death of another or the unlawful termination of another’s pregnancy.<br>(B) No person shall purposely cause the death of another or the unlawful termination of another’s pregnancy while committing or attempting to commit, or while fleeing immediately after committing or attempting to commit, kidnapping, rape, aggravated arson, arson, aggravated robbery, robbery, aggravated burglary, burglary, terrorism, or escape.<br>(C) No person shall purposely cause the death of another who is under thirteen years of age at the time of the commission of the offense.<br>(D) No person who is under detention as a result of having been found guilty of or having pleaded guilty to a felony or who breaks that detention shall purposely cause the death of another.<br>(E) No person shall purposely cause the death of a law enforcement officer whom the offender knows or has reasonable cause to know is a law enforcement officer when either of the following applies:<br>(1) The victim, at the time of the commission of the offense, is engaged in the victim’s duties.<br>(2) It is the offender’s specific purpose to kill a law enforcement officer.<br>(F) Whoever violates this section is guilty of aggravated murder, and shall be punished as provided in section 2929.02 of the Revised Code.<br>(G) As used in this section:<br>(1) “Detention” has the same meaning as in section 2921.01 of the Revised Code.<br>(2) “Law enforcement officer” has the same meaning as in section 2911.01 of the Revised Code.<br>Effective Date: 05-15-2002<br>2903.02 Murder.<br>(A) No person shall purposely cause the death of another or the unlawful termination of another’s pregnancy.<br>(B) No person shall cause the death of another as a proximate result of the offender’s committing or attempting to commit an offense of violence that is a felony of the first or second degree and that is not a violation of section 2903.03 or 2903.04 of the Revised Code.<br>(C) Division (B) of this section does not apply to an offense that becomes a felony of the first or second degree only if the offender previously has been convicted of that offense or another specified offense.<br>(D) Whoever violates this section is guilty of murder, and shall be punished as provided in section 2929.02 of the Revised Code.<br>Effective Date: 06-30-1998<br>CHAPTER 2921: OFFENSES AGAINST JUSTICE AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION<br>2921.01 Offenses against justice and public administration general definitions.<br>2921.22 Failure to report a crime or knowledge of a death or burn injury.<br>(A) No person, knowing that a felony has been or is being committed, shall knowingly fail to report such information to law enforcement authorities.<br> 2921.32 Obstructing justice.<br>(A) No person, with purpose to hinder the discovery, apprehension, prosecution, conviction, or punishment of another for crime or to assist another to benefit from the commission of a crime, and no person, with purpose to hinder the discovery, apprehension, prosecution, adjudication as a delinquent child, or disposition of a child for an act that if committed by an adult would be a crime or to assist a child to benefit from the commission of an act that if committed by an adult would be a crime, shall do any of the following:<br>(1) Harbor or conceal the other person or child;<br>(2) Provide the other person or child with money, transportation, a weapon, a disguise, or other means of avoiding discovery or apprehension;<br>(3) Warn the other person or child of impending discovery or apprehension;<br>(4) Destroy or conceal physical evidence of the crime or act, or induce any person to withhold testimony or information or to elude legal process summoning the person to testify or supply evidence;<br>(5) Communicate false information to any person;<br>(6) Prevent or obstruct any person, by means of force, intimidation, or deception, from performing any act to aid in the discovery, apprehension, or prosecution of the other person or child.<br>(B) A person may be prosecuted for, and may be convicted of or adjudicated a delinquent child for committing, a violation of division (A) of this section regardless of whether the person or child aided ultimately is apprehended for, is charged with, is convicted of, pleads guilty to, or is adjudicated a delinquent child for committing the crime or act the person or child aided committed.

WAR CRIME COMPLAINT<br>.   #.   I, Kenneth MacKenzie, the complainant in this case, state that the following is true to the best of my knowledge and belief.<br>.   #.   I have served all information of U.S. Supreme Court Case No.  08-9595 of these War Crime matters to U.N. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT, ICC, Prosecutor, Case # OTP-CR-100/08, PO Box 19519, 2500 CM, The Hague, The Netherlands, email: <a href="mailto:otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int" rel="nofollow">otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int</a>  The Netherlands; and, said ICC did immediately provide a simple and direct Web site electronic filing process at "otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int"   and did not structure a complex ritualized  electronic filing process in the corrupt manner of U.S. District Courts and further did not  demand any filing fee, whatsoever, thereby illustrating, by example, that the U.S. Court system maintains an unnecessary and  corrupt Court Case filing system that discriminates against  Pro Se litigants, which requires they must seek permission from a U.S. District judge to file a case electronically at lower cost in U.S. District Court than the same does cost an Attorney to file a similar case electronically.  U.S. District Court electronic case filing rules discriminate against and disadvantage Pro Se litigants. <br>. . .When compared to electronic filing process in most other countries and in the U.N. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT, ICC, the U.S. District Court electronic filing rules appear corruptly contrived to discriminate against non-Attorney litigants, thereby costing Pro Se litigants filing expenses for paper and mailing costs that do not burden and disadvantage law firms and Attorneys  in the U.S. <br>.   #.  On or about the date of December 2008, in the county of Harris, in city of Houston,   Southern District of Texas,  defendant U.S. Attorney Johnson, a U.S. Department of Justice lawyer employee ,  violated U. S. C. Title 18 § 1512, Tampering With a Witness and violated  U. S. C. Title 18 § 1513, Retaliating Against a Witness, said offenses described as follows:<br>.   #.   On December 2008, Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie phoned and notified Mitch Neurock,  U.S. Attorney\'s Office, of the following facts and requested Witness / Victim Protection program assistance from the U.S. Attorney\'s Office for the Kristian Menchaca family as the Kristian Menchaca family had been threatened with death in an eMail sent by terrorists to Plaintiff Ken MacKenzie\'s eMail address, <a href="mailto:kenmackenzie2000@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow">kenmackenzie2000@yahoo.com</a>.  Witness / Victim Manager Mitch Neurock said he would submit Plaintiff Menchaca family request to Tim Johnson, a U.S. civil service Attorney employee temporarily appointed by former U.S. Attorney General Mukasey to manage the Houston Office of the U.S. Attorney, presumably  until another U.S. Attorney could be appointed by the Obama Administration.<br>.   #1.   On or about the last week of December 2008, Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie phoned Mitch Neurock,  U.S. Attorney\'s Office, and Neurock explained that U.S. Department of Justice lawyer employee  Tim Johnson refused to provide Witness / Victim Protection program assistance to the Kristian  Menchaca family and gave no reason for his refusal.  After some discussion, Neurock explained that the Kristian  Menchaca family could write to the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, DC and seek Witness / Victim Protection program from the Washington, DC office.<br>.   #.   As above-explained on December 2008, Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie notified Mitch Neurock,  U.S. Attorney\'s Office, of the following facts before Neurock explained on the last week of Dec 2008 that   U.S. lawyer employee Tim Johnson   refused to provide Witness / Victim Protection program assistance to the Kristian  Menchaca family without explaining why or explaining any appeal process.<br>.   #.  Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie informed  Mitch Neurock,  U.S. Attorney\'s Office, that MacKenzie  was the Uncle of  U.S. Army PFC Kristian Menchaca.  After PFC Kristian Menchaca\'s  Army leave time-period expired in the USA, May 2006, PFC Kristian Menchaca returned to Iraq in June 2006 and was eventually captured together with PFC Thomas Tucker by al Shura Nuclear Jihad  Terrorists who barbarically tortured both to death from 16 Jun to 19 Jun 2006.   <br>.   #.  On February 2008, Plaintiffs Kristian Menchaca family including MacKenzie as member, filed a wrongful death War Crime Claim (Formatted on a U.S. Claim Form 95 ) with the U.S. Attorney General in Washington, DC, and filed said documents with U.S. Attorney DeGabriel  in Houston, Texas, which incorporated U.S. District Court Case H-08-60 (Houston), set forth in its entirety within said U.S. Claim Form 95.  U.S. Attorney DeGabriel  phoned Kenneth MacKenzie and explained he had forwarded said Claim and Lawsuit Court Case H-08-60 (Houston) to the appropriate persons in Washington for their decision. <br>.   #.  Plaintiff MacKenzie additionally filed on behalf of himself and the Kristian Menchaca family,  said War Crime Lawsuit Complaint Case H-08-60 in United States District Court, Houston, Southern District of Texas, as Miscellaneous Case H-08-60 ,naming al Qaida and al Shura Nuclear Jihad terrorists as Interested Parties.  <br>.   #.  During february 2008, Plaintiff served  Miscellaneous Case H-08-60 on both U.S. Attorney General Mukasey and on the U.S. Attorney\'s Office in Houston by MacKenzie\'s created Electronic eMail filing and filed notification numerous times at their several eMail addresses as U.S. Attorney General Mukasey and on Houston U.S. Attorney\'s Office  had corruptly refused to provide to MacKenzie a formal eMail Web site that functioned for purposes of court "BLESSED"  filing enablement.<br>.   #.  On 20 Jul  2008 Plaintiff MacKenzie received  the following cited death threat by eMail at his eMail Address, <a href="mailto:kenmackenzie2000@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow">kenmackenzie2000@yahoo.com</a>, on his computer, located in his home, 2314 Gentry, Houston, Texas 77009.  <br>.   #.   Plaintiff MacKenzie forwarded following said 20 Jul  2008 Death Threat in its entirety by eMail to the Houston office of FBI, a portion of which is quoted as follows:<br>". . .SOMEONE YOU CALL YOUR FRIEND, WANTS YOU DEAD.<br>I felt very sorry and bad for you, that your life is going to end like this if<br>you don\'t comply, i was paid to eliminate you and I have to do it  within<br>10 days. . .. . .And the person have spent a lot of money on this, the person <br>also came to us and told us that he wants you dead and he provided us your <br>names, photograph and other necessary information we needed about you. <br>Meanwhile, I have sent my boys to track you down and they have carried <br>out the necessary investigation needed for the operation. . .<br>. . . Right now my men are monitoring you, their eyes are on you. . .<br>. . .Warning: do not think of contacting the police or even tell anyone because I<br>will extend it to any member of your family since you are aware that somebody<br>want you dead, and the person knows some members of your family as well.<br>(deathandlife@biz.by)  Mr .John Itali. [End Quote]<br>.   #.   . . . . 1. Plaintiffs, The Kristian Menchaca Family, request this U.S. Court to issue a Protective Order regarding their safety related to their litigation of U.S. CLAIM and Court Case H-08-60, Houston, Texas. This document also provides information of "USC Title 18 Crime Complaint" against certain members of the former "Bush administration " appointed U.S. Justice Department, specifically against former U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, specifically against acting U.S. Attorney General Mark Filip (previously appointed 20 Jan 2009), and specifically against U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson (currently), all who perpetrated and, through U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson , continue to perpetrate  "USC Title 18 §1512 Crime Tampering" and "USC Title 18 §1513 Crime Retaliation" (Title 18 §1512  and "USC Title 18 §1513 provide \'Extra-territorial jurisdiction\' in foreign courts) against Kristian Menchaca Family Plaintiffs, the family of War Crime victimized PFC Kristian Menchaca who was barbarically tortured to death in Iraq, 2006. <br>. . . #. . Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie explains that he does not possess any special "nuclear Crime\' information that is not already being debated by Nuclear scientists on the Internet. With the exception of Christian Menchaca\'s claimed \'Nuclear Crime\' information that "hot"   Uranium open pit mining tailings  were being truck-loaded from Iran into Iraq during 2006,  virtually  one hundred percent of the \'Nuclear Crime\' concerns explained in this War Crime complaint are found published on the Internet by Nuclear scientists, published by various responsible Non Government Organizations <br>(NGO) and  published by government agencies.<br>. . . Al Qaida Terrorists have several times announced intent to destroy U.S. corporations in Muslim countries. And, Plaintiffs are victims of Terrorist intent and efforts to destroy U.S. corporations in Muslim countries. <br>. . . PFC Kristian Menchaca (tortured to death, Iraq: 16 through 19 Jun 2006), U.S. Army, was assigned to a U.S. Military operation  seeking to locate and nullify Nuclear Weapons of Mass Destruction ("WMD") in Iraq that might be used in "Nuclear Crimes\' against U.S. targets in the U.S., used against U.S. Corporation targets in Europe, and used against U.S. Corporation targets located in the Middle East, Africa, and South America. <br>. . . While home in Texas, during May 2006, Kristian Menchaca explained to members of his family he was present during U.S. Army interrogation of captured terrorists in Iraq, early 2006; and, said Terrorists explained that they were transporting "hot" Uranium ore tailings from Uranium mines in Iran, by truckload, to Iraq for export out of Iraq to serve purposes of Radiologically \'stealth\'  attacking & contaminating U.S. & UK Corporations doing business in Middle East countries, and to further serve purposes of Radiologically \'stealth\' attacking  "privately owned"  U.S. & UK  Corporations doing business in Europe, in Africa, South America and USA. <br>. . . . After his Army leave finished in the USA, May 2006, PFC Kristian Menchaca returned to Iraq in June 2006 and was eventually captured together with PFC Thomas Tucker by   \'al Shura Nuclear Jihad \'   Terrorists who barbarically tortured both to death from 16 Jun to 19 Jun 2006. <br>. . . . PFC Kristian Menchaca and PFC Thomas Tucker were fighting to stop Nuclear Crime Radiological attack against the United States, and against U.S. Corporation properties in the Middle East and Europe that would have undoubtedly produced catastrophic Radiological attack cross-contamination of land, people, and nearby businesses that become collateral victims of Nuclear Crimes in countries attacked with Radiological "Nuclear Crime" poisons. <br>. . . . Such a "Nuclear Crime" potential has been hypothetically described of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, wherein the rooms of the American Hilton Hotel in Mecca or other Saudi cities could be Radiologically stealth-contaminated with "Hot" Uranium / Radium ore oxides of radiation counts exceeding 100 mR / hr. exposure rates, more than 50 times the exposure of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules (<a href="http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html</a> : rules for a nuclear power plant), which require evacuation at 2 mR /hr. to prevent fatal exposure to Nuclear radioactivity.<br>All U.S. & UK  , by their presence with business property addresses in the Middle East, are antagonizing "Nuclear Crime" Radiological attacks against all U.S. Corporation business holdings inside Muslim countries. Such Radiological attacks  in the Middle East could easily lead to "Radiological-Cross-Contamination" of the Holy KAABA and <br>Currently, all U.S. and UK  Corporations, by their presence with business property addresses in the Middle East, are antagonizing "Nuclear Crime" Radiological attacks against all  "privately owned"  U.S. & UK  Corporations doing business in Asia, Japan, Europe, Africa, and South America. <br>. . . . The  Al-Masjid al-Ḥarām Mosque of the Holy KAABA and  the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi Mosque of the Prophet in Saudi Arabia are the two most holy places on earth for all of Islam. <br>. . .If the premises of any American Corporation-owned business or British UK Corporation-owned business in Mecca, or  Jeddah,  or Medina are radiologically contaminated in a stealth  \'Nuclear Crime\' attack, then common sense indicates that the two most holiest Mosques on the face of the earth in Saudi Arabia are in jeopardy  from each and every  "Military-Political"  move the United States makes in the Middle East. <br>. . . Al-Masjid al-Ḥarām Sacred Mosque" as the largest mosque in the world, located in the city of Mecca, surrounding the Kaaba is the place toward which Muslims comprising one fifth the earth\'s population turn every day while offering daily prayers, as often as five times per day,  and is considered the holiest place on Earth by Muslims who comprise one fifth of the earth\'s population !<br>. . .Al-Masjid al-Nabawi or the Mosque of the Prophet, located in Medina, is the second holiest site in Islam.  It is the location of  Muhammad\'s tomb.  Part of the  edifice was originally his house; he settled there after his Hijrah (emigration) to Medina, and later built this mosque on the grounds. <br>. . . The Holy Kaaba could become Radiologically "cross-contaminated" by innocent Muslim pilgrims who have been previously Radiologically contaminated by  life-destroying Uranium / Radium particles attached their clothing from exposure inside their Radiologically contaminated American and British Corporation owned hotel rooms.<br>    Unlike Anthrax, deadly Uranium/Radium contamination is virtually impossible to effectively clean-up.  A Geiger Counter will always be able to detect some remaining lethal Uranium/Radium contamination particles that may be lethally inhaled at a target site,  no matter how often cleaned. <br>. . . In essence, the reality is that "once a Nuclear Crime\' U.S. or UK Corporation target  is contaminated,  then life-destroying Radiological contamination can spread as in an invisible   \'Nuclear-Crime-contamination ripple-effect\'   that takes place as the life destroying Radiological  particles spread outward from the target  carried on contaminated clothing by people or by automobiles or wind currents,   that are always detectable with Geiger Counter equipment. Thus,  a city becomes "Nuclear Crime" contaminated unto the condition of a "Nuclear wasteland"; and, it will remain a wasteland until the Radiological contaminant, Radium 226, decays to safe levels, likely taking sixteen centuries, a very long time.<br>. . . Should such a  \'Nuclear-Crime-contamination ripple-effect\'  occur in Meccah or Medinah, Saudi Arabia as a consequence of U.S. and UK  presence as \'Nuclear Crime\' targets in the Middle East, then one fifth of the earth\'s Muslim population will likely hold the U.S. and UK responsible for the Radiological poisoning of their holiest of all Mosques. <br>. . . Islam Karimov, the current President of Uzbekistan would be understandably reluctant to rent an airfield to any foreign government that might directly or indirectly  lead to or  cause Radiological contamination  of the Holy KAABA in Mecca or Prophet\'s Mosque in Medina. <br>. . . Anyone visiting a Radiological attacked location, commoner and royalty, alike, is a potential victim of inhaling Radium 226 dust particles into his lungs where they cannot be removed. The X-rays of Radium contaminated lungs in Radiologically contaminated victims display thousands of Radium dust / oxide particles like stars glowing in a midnight universe, a picture of certain death a-coming as caused by Radium inhalation, which leads to eye cataracts, bone cancer rot, liver, breast cancer, and other related Cancers that generally kill within a few years or less. Removal of the contaminant is impossible. Worse than anthrax, there is no medical treatment. <br>. . .

NUCLEAR PEACE IS MORAL, ETHICAL, AND ACHIEVABLE. :<br>. . . Terrorists intent to destroy   "PRIVATELY OWNED"   U.S. and UK business profiteering corporations in Muslim countries can be easily prevented throughout the Middle East and Saudi Arabia by "PRIVATELY OWNED"  US Corporations voluntarily selling their "PRIVATELY OWNED"  business Corporations and evacuating to maintain Nuclear peace in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia , Europe, South America, and Africa, etcetera.<br>. . . . Presented with the undeniable fact that Terrorists have announced intent to destroy "privately owned"  U.S. & UK  Corporations doing business in these Muslim countries, it makes a great deal of good sense for "privately owned"  U.S. & UK  Corporations to voluntarily sell and change ownership to local Saudi ownership or change "privately owned"  U.S. & UK   Corporation ownership to other Middle East Investors who could purchase "privately owned"  U.S. & UK  Corporations that are Nuclear Crime targets in all Muslim Middle East countries, including Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, and thereby remove "privately owned"  U.S. & UK   Corporations from the "Nuclear Crime" list of targets. <br>. . #   In the interests of maintaining Nuclear peace, the reasonable voluntary divestment and withdrawal of   U.S. and British  Corporations, who could be "diplomatically divested"  out  from Middle East countries , with political diplomacy that includes "Nuclear weapon armed terrorists, "  will therefore  eliminate the presence of  the \'number-one-Nuclear-Crime-target\' antagonism in the Middle East , especially in Saudi Arabia, where Western  Corporations  are despised as immoral and evil "money-profiteering"   \'Nuclear-Crime-targets.\'  <br>. . .  Applied diplomacy and diplomatically structured  \'Voluntary divestment and departure\' of  politically  hated  Western business corporations  should be set into motion by the U.N. to eliminate the worsening Nuclear Crime threats in Middle East countries. that have \'rippled\' outward unto \'Nuclear Crime\'  threats against Europe and the U.S. and other targets of Nuclear-Radiological Jihad Terrorism of the type planned by the \'Dirty Bomb\' terrorist, Jose  Padilla, arrested but not prosecuted in the U.S. for planned \'Nuclear Crime\' Radiological attacks on the United States easily achieved by \'Nuclear Jihad Terrorists\' who have access to lethal Radiological ore tailings, highly available in abandoned open pit Uranium mines that register upwards of 100 mRads per hour, fifty times the 2 mRad amount that Nuclear Regulatory Commission, NRC,  considers  dangerous and mandates evacuation if 2 mRad is present at Nuclear Power plants.<br>. . . The Bush administration obviously did not want  to publicly reveal in a \'Nuclear Crime\' trial of Jose Padilla the potentials of Radiological \'Nuclear Crime\' warfare due to the fact that innocent "third party\' countries would then become aware that they had become Nuclear Crime Targets as a direct consequence of Bush\'s Middle East wars.<br>. . . #. .  Redundantly and well informed that the Menchaca family faces a larger danger from Terrorists than Sammy "The Bull" Gravano ever faced as retaliation from Mafia, Attorney General Michael Mukasey (previously December 2008; Departed Jan 2009 ) and U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson (currently), perpetrating USC Title 18 Crime "Title 18 Retaliation" and "Title 18 Tampering" against the Kristian Menchaca Family, apparently  for having filed suit against them in U.S. Civ. H-08-60 and for having filed Claims with Ministers of Justice in the Middle East regarding the above described  "Nuclear Crime issues,"   have continued to vehemently deny the Menchaca family the same Victim/Witness protection (requested by Menchaca family Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie) U.S.Department  of Justice  provided to Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, as of Menchaca family December 2008 and January-February 2009 Communiques requesting Victim Protection.  <br>. . . .#.  Plaintiffs, Kristian Menchaca  family,  are currently facing Terrorism threats to their lives apparently manipulated by U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson (currently promoting former Attorney General Mukasey\'s administrative crimes) perpetrating USC Title 18 Crime "Retaliation" against the Menchaca Family for having filed Claims against the U.S. Justice Department  in the U.S. and  for having filed Claims (SEE:   \'Nuclear Crime\'  Claims filed  with Ministers of Justice in the Middle East); and, acting Bush administration functionary U.S. Attorney Johnson has continued to apply Bush administration politics to vehemently deny the Menchaca family the same Victim/Witness protection provided to Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, as of Menchaca Family-telephoned February 2009 Communiques. <br>. . . . 4. SEE: TITLE 18 - CRIMES, CHAPTER 73 - OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, § 1512. Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant,  § 1513. Retaliating against a witness, victim, or an informant  (Also see:18 U.S.C., § 1513. Retaliating against a witness, victim, or an informant; 18 U.S.C., § 4. Misprision of felony ; Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361. Action to compel officer of United States to perform his duty.).<br>. . 5. Recognizing that the new administration of President Barak Obama has only recently inherited leftover Bush Bureaucrats and nightmarish Radiological War conditions created and maintained by the previous "Culture-of-Torture-Bush-administration," Plaintiffs preface this yet-to-be-filed update of Plaintiffs\' War Crime litigation information as this reads on previously filed legal Claims and Crime Complaints against the former Bush Administration War Criminals, herein, with the explanation that Plaintiffs regard the former Bush administration as 100% responsible for said \'Nuclear Crime\' conditions; and, Plaintiffs proceed in the belief that the current administration, once it understands the "wrong-doing complexities" of the former Bush Regime, will abandon U.S. Justice Department support of former Bush Regime Administrative wrong- doing. <br>. .6 . Plaintiffs\' recent commentary, since December 2008, is particularly directed at former Attorney General Michael Mukasey (replaced by acting U.S. Attorney General Mark Filip, then Filip replaced by U.S. Attorney General Erik Holder) and U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson currently employed in Houston, who, on or about the week of 26 December 2008,  denied the Kristian Menchaca family\'s previously phoned and written requests for "Victim Witness protection" from further Terrorist crimes against the Kristian Menchaca family as a consequence of their Crime tort complaints filed with U.S. FBI and filed in U.S. District Court Case H-08-60 and their Crime complaints also filed in U.N. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT, ICC, Prosecutor, Case # OTP-CR-100/08, PO Box 19519, 2500 CM, The Hague, The Netherlands, email; <a href="mailto:otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int" rel="nofollow">otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int</a> .<br>. . .7 . The U.N. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT, ICC, Prosecutor, Case # OTP-CR-100/08,  has jurisdiction of former Attorney General Michael Mukasey\'s and U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson\'s apparent USC Title 18 crime "Retaliation" and crime "Tampering" violations outside Mukasey\'s and Johnson\'s "Ministerial and Discretionary scope" criminally inflicted against the Kristian Menchaca family in Tim Johnson\'s apparent USC Title 18 crime "Retaliation" and crime "Tampering" violations   denying them as victims the same protection the U.S. Department of Justice provided to Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, the John Gotti Mafioso who murdered 18 people. Gravano (1) did not lose a beloved member of his family tortured to death by Terrorists at war with the United States, (2) nor did Gravano ever file a U.S. Court Case against Terrorists as have the Menchaca family, who have filed U.S. Court Case H 08-60 naming al Quaida and al Shura Council, who tortured PFC Kristian Menchaca to death alongside PFC Thomas Tucker. (3) Moreover, Gravano never filed lawsuits in  foreign jurisdictions naming terrorist groups as perpetrators of War Crimes against U.S. Military personnel as have the Menchaca family. (4) Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie has received at least one "Death Threat" eMail from an unknown party promising that MacKenzie faced death from someone who wanted to kill him. <br>. . . . 8. Yet,  redundantly well informed that the Menchaca family faces a larger danger from Terrorists than Sammy "The Bull" Gravano ever faced as retaliation from Mafia, Attorney General Michael Mukasey (previously) and U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson (currently), perpetrating USC Title 18 Crime "Retaliation" against the Menchaca Family for having filed suit against Mukasey in the U.S. and for having filed suit with Ministers of Justice in the MIddle East, U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson continued to vehemently deny the Menchaca family same Victim/Witness protection provided to Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, as of Menchaca family February 2009 Communiques requesting Victim/Witness protection . <br>. . . . .. SEE: TITLE 18 - CRIMES, CHAPTER 73 - OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, § 1512. Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant,  and see: TITLE 18 § 1513. Retaliating against a witness, victim, or an informant  (Also see:18 U.S.C., § 1513. Retaliating against a witness, victim, or an informant; 18 U.S.C., § 4. Misprision of felony ; Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361. Action to compel officer of United States to perform his duty.).<br> . . .. Several of the Menchaca Family Complainants have removed themselves from the captions of filed litigation of these War Crime matters in the Middle East jurisdictions as a consequence of U.S. Attorney General Mukasey\'s and U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson\'s perpetrated USC Title 18 crime "Retaliation" and crime "tampering" against the Kristian Menchaca family since formally denying the Kristian Menchaca family "Witness/Victim" protection from December 2008 forward. <br>. ..11. Should any leftover Bush-administration supporting bureaucrats or any of the several new Cabinet Secretaries of the New Obama administration continue to maintain the aberrant \'Nuclear Crime\' secrecy policies of the former Bush Administration as if acting as Bush\'s surrogates, Plaintiff will continue to litigate these \'War Crime\' lawsuits in the assumption that said leftover Bush-bureaucrats and new Cabinet Secretaries are \'mentally disabled and compromised\' and will eventually answer in court for the catastrophic Radiological War Crime truths described in this litigation.<br>. . . 12. In consideration that Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie has previously served and filed numerous Crime reports of \'18 USC Section 1512 Tampering\' and \'Section 1513 Retaliation\' to the U.S. Department of Justice Attorney General\'s Office and to FBI against U.S. Attorney General Mukasey and U.S. Attorney General Gonzales, and against U.S. employee Attorney Tim Johnson and in consideration that Plaintiff MacKenzie has reported said U.S. RICO Act Crimes to John Bellinger, legal Counsel for the U.S. State Department, in U.S. government offices, Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie motions  that this enclosed Crime information describing (1) Nuclear Crime Claims of United States Case H-08-60, Southern District of Texas, and (2)  enclosed Crime information describing  related violations of the U.S. RICO Act and (3) enclosed Crime information describing  Plaintiffs\' filed copies of United States Case H-08-60, Southern District of Texas, Plaintiffs request that said \'Nuclear Crimes\' be publicly investigated by state of Texas law enforcement, be publicly investigated by U.S. law enforcement agencies to include FBI, Homeland Security Agency, and BATF; and, Plaintiff MacKenzie requests said Crime reports be provided to these agencies and to the various U.S. and state Grand Juries and courts having jurisdiction of the \'Nuclear Crimes\' reported by Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie of the Kristian Menchaca Family and, Crimes reported within U.S. state and federal  Jurisdiction. <br>The Kristian Menchaca Family petitions this Court issue a Protective Order to Protect the Family of Kristian Menchaca.<br>Complainant’s signature : S/  Kenneth MacKenzie, <br>Printed name: Kenneth MacKenzie;  title: Pro Se,  Properia Persona,   U.S. Court Case H-08-60 2314 Gentry, Houston, TX 77009;   H.

It tells us how to get to heaven and how to avoid hell. You haven\'t got a clue about any of that. Whether you get to heaven or not is up to you. If you obey Jesus Christ in all things you will succeed. Otherwise you will fail, Heb.5.9, and spend eternity screaming in agony in the lake of fire, Rev.21.8. You are, at present, a Rom.10.3 person, and that will not pay off for anyone.Your selfdesigned plan of salvation  is not at all congruent with Gods plan, revealed to mankind in His bible.<br><br>to grfx: Wrong again. Were there no banks in any communist countries from 1918 to 1989? Are there no banks in China today? Think beforeyou type. <br>And try not to make yourself a fool with dumb stuff implying that I am an anti-semite. I am an ethnic Jew. My wife is Chinese. Liberals do not think- they just spew. Obamas birth certificate has NOT been published. A recently manufactured copy of a certificate of live birth, which is used for folks not born in hawaii, altered, was released. His aunt and grandmother state they witnessed his birth in Kenya. He has spent over a million dollars keeping all his personal, college, etc., records sealed. <br>Where have you been while all this took place?<br>Rothschilds want a oneworld, totalitarian(communist) government because it will be necessary to have such a political system so they can control the world.Governments that own the means of production are, by definition, communist. The USA now owns AIG, GMC, etc. Thats communism.<br>And Dr Keyes knows, you don\'t, that the founders based the constitution on biblical principles, generically christian, as their personal writings clearly show. <br><br>to aynsof: Aside from the invective: please read Websters three-tiered definition, then click on Hitlers system and see if it is congruent with socialism. Rothschilds financed him, partly through IG Farben, because, to them, money is more important that a small thing like the holocaust. They finance bothsides in most wars, and also own controlling shares in the munitions and other logistical  manufacturers. War is good to them. In all probability they told Dubya to invade Iraq.<br>And, those of who will not murder babies, condone sex perversion, steal the savings and the freedoms of our people, are not thereby Nazis, who love the very evils we despise.<br><br>to grfx: Wrong still again, Whatever government does not condemn, it thereby automatically condones.Prohibition was not the problem. The problem was the deliberate, mass refusal to obey the laws of prohibition.Joe Sixpack was determined to destroy his life with the drug of his choice no matter what. Government need not endorse; the damage is done when it condones, or tolerates.<br>And you are wrong about the leftist hypocrites, too. They vote for abortion, for homosexual perversion, for disarming both our military and our citizens, for surrendering our national sovereignty to international organizations, etc. You do not believe in God, so "sin" has no meaning for you. You cannot prove that God does not exist; nor can you refute the argument that He does exist, so you base your life on some indefensible "gut feeling". Lots of luck.</div>\

If we are to save the United States of America, we need to return to the truths espoused by our Founding Fathers who established our Constitutional Republic.  We need to reject any form of socialism and take more responsibility for ourselves.  A strong-centralized government is what our founders feared, and as we give up more and more of our rights, we lose more and more of our independence and freedom.</div>\

Misprision of felonies against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, in the mutilation-torture-murders of Pvt Kristian Menchaca (Plaintiffs’ family member), Pvt Thomas Tucker, and Pvt Joseph Anziak,  Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty;  Defendant Gray Miller  violated Title 18 USC,  Sec. 2382 -  MISPRISION OF TREASON (18 U.S.C., § 2382  MISPRISION OF TREASON perpetrated to a math certainty by former U.S. Attorney General Gonzales in manipulating his own designed $50,000 Death Rewards against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, meanwhile posting life-saving Mega Million dollar rewards for al Qaida and al Shura Terrorists while said Terrorists, in violation of Geneva Convention 3, tortured to death U.S. soldier Prisoners of War life-valued by Gonzales at $50,000 while Gonzales denied any reward increases on their lives while Gonzales\'s Higher life valued Terrorists surrogates tortured said U.S. Prisoners of War to Death in violation of Geneva Convention 3).<br> Defendant Gray Miller\'s MISPRISION is understood as follows: In its larger sense, this word is used to signify every considerable misdemeanor, which has not a certain name given to it in the law; and it is said that a misprision is contained in every treason or felony whatever. In its narrower sense it is the concealment of a crime.<br>Defendant Gray Miller\'s MISPRISION OF TREASON is the concealment of treason, by being merely passive for if any assistance be given, to the traitor, it makes the party a principal, as there are no accessories in treason. It is the duty of every good citizen, knowing of a treason or felony having been committed to inform a magistrate. Silently to observe the commission of a felony, without using any endeavors to apprehend the offender, is a misprision.<br>Misprisions which are merely positive, are denominated contempts or high misdemeanors; as, for example, dissuading a witness from giving evidence. <br>Defendant Gray Miller\'s MISPRISION OF FELONY - Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the U.S., conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the U.S. 18 USC. Misprision of felony, is the like concealment of felony, without giving any degree of maintenance to the felon for if any aid be given him, the party becomes an accessory after the fact. <br>Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361. Action to compel officer of United States to perform his duty.<br>Defendant Gray Miller did not perform his duty while he did nothing while  captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were tortured  and murdered from February to July 2008.<br>. . . . Also see: Koranic Law of Middle East Countries.<br>This criminal complaint is based on these facts:<br>. 1.   The information of this issue indicates that captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were murdered during the time period of 22 Feb 2008 to 08 July 2008, during the same time period that U.S. Judge Miller, outside his ministerial and discretionary scope, did deny Plaintiffs’ efforts to provide $25 Million Dollar Rewards to save the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty -- on a Reward life value equal to said  $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars bestowed by the U.S. Executive Branch on Terrorists. <br>. 2.    SEE: Rewards for Justice, Washington , D.C.20522-0303, 1-800-877-3927; RFJ@state.gov; <a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/</a><br><a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page=wanted_captured&language=english" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page...</a> <br>. 3.    This statistic and the dollar difference in Rewards is profound evidence that "$50,000 \'Death Sentence\' Rewards" are a catastrophic part of mutilation,torture, and murder "War Crimes" motivated against captured U.S. soldier Prisoneers of War in Iraq and in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977. <br> . 4.   U.S. Citizens who volunteer for Military Service are not forewarned that if they are captured by Terrorists in Iraq or Afghanistan their own government will betray them and offer rewards for them that are 500 times lower than the U.S. government offers for the very same Mega Million / $25 Million Dollar valued terrorists who will mutilate and torture the same captured U.S. soldier Prisoneers of War reward-valued 500 time less at "$50,000 \'Death Sentence\' Rewards." The irony and treachery are astounding and most shocking. <br>.5. Complaint against U.S. Judge Gray Miller as corruptly acting in Private Persona outside his ministerial and discretionary scope: <br> . 6.  .  This “5th Circuit Rule, Judicial Misconduct Complaint” against U.S. Judge Gray Miller (1) describes pre-jurisdiction and pre-decision disqualification conditions that were a matter of record and obvious from the facts available to Judge Gray Miller before he wrongfully acted to expropriate wrongful jurisdiction and then issue a decision in U.S. Case H-08-60 while he was disqualified pursuant to 28 USC, Section 455, in “conflict-of-interest,” while he was “disqualified” outside his ministerial and discretionary scope, by reason of the fact that Miller was a President-GW-Bush nominee / appointee had knowingly taken jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, which listed Bush and several of his Cabinet Secretaries as Interested Parties who were likely to become “Defendants.” <br>. 7. . Miller possessed obviously available information that Miller was a nominee / appointee of President G.W. Bush to Miller’s position of U.S. District Court Judge. <br>. 8.   Miller possessed obviously available information from the Caption (See Appendix 1, appended herein) in Plaintiff’s case H-08-60 that President G.W. Bush was named as an “interested Party” in Plaintiff’s case H-08-60. <br>. 9. Miller possessed obviously available information that Plaintiff’s Case H-08-60 named in the caption former U.S. Attorney General Gonzales (a Bush nominated / appointed U.S. Attorney General) and was informed that Plaintiff’s Case H-08-60 named, in the caption (See Appendix 1, appended herein), a substantial number of Bush nominated / appointed Cabinet Secretaries as “Interested Parties.” <br>. 10. Miller possessed obviously available information of “USC Title 28, Section 455 - Disqualification of justice, judge, or magistrate judge (a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” <br>. 11.  “The thing speaks for itself” (Res Ips Loquitor) that USC Title 28, Section 455 was clearly applicable or, at least, of question for Miller in Plaintiff’s Case H-08-60. <br>. 12. “The thing speaks for itself” (Res Ips Loquitor) that Miller did not query the Judicial Council of the Fifth Judicial Circuit to ask an opinion regarding Miller’s plans to commandeer jurisdiction as President Bush’s protégé, nominee / appointee, to  expropriate jurisdiction of Plaintiff’s Case H-08-60 away from other U.S. District Court judges who were “NOT” protégés, nominees, or appointees of President G.W. Bush and were not linked as nominees / appointees of the U.S. Executive Branch Culture of Torture that has provably worked to destroy the lives of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War. “The thing speaks for itself” (Res Ips Loquitor).  <br>. 13. Plaintiff’s complaint focuses on several basic areas regarding said unlawfully expropriated decision of Miller to take jurisdiction away from other better qualified U.S. judges despite Miller’s obvious “conflict of interest” disqualification under 28 USC, Section 455, before Miller issued decisions in Case-08-60. <br>.14. Miller took jurisdiction by snaking around the proscriptions of 28 USC, Section 455 and surreptitiously not notifying Plaintiffs of his identification as a Bush nominee / appointee; and, Miller took jurisdiction by not querying the Judicial Council of the Fifth Judicial Circuit to determine its opinion on Miller’s decision to take jurisdiction when there were numerous valid questions against Miller taking jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 fully informed he was a Bush nominee / appointee and disqualified under Title 28, Section 455 prior to taking jurisdiction. <br>. 15.  Furthermore, Miller did not take jurisdiction under verification or sworn oath that he was not subject to disqualification under Title 28, Section 455, or under verification or sworn oath that he was not acting outside his ministerial and discretionary scope in conflict as a Bush Nominee / Appointee. <br> . 16.   The information of Case H-08-60 explained that part of Plaintiffs’ litigation of Case H-08-60 was seeking and offering rewards of $25 Million (See Appendix 2 and also see <a href="http://kristianmenchaca.com/" rel="nofollow">http://kristianmenchaca.com/</a>) expected to come from jury verdicts in Case H-08-60 on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. In conjunction with information of Case H-08-60, Plaintiffs were offering rewards of $25 Million on the internet (See Appendix 2) linked to litigation of Case H-08-60 in efforts to save the lives of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty who were facing mutilation, torture, and death in Iraq . <br>. 17. Miller ignored the plight of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty when he snaked around the proscriptions of USC Title 28, Section 455 and wrongfully took jurisdiction apparently focused on dismissing Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 against his mentor, Bush, and his mentor’s Attorneys General and Cabinet Secretaries. <br>. 18.    Miller denied Plaintiffs’ Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 on 25 Feb 2008; and, Plaintiffs never received information of Miller’s said denial from the Court Clerk. Miller’s said “Denial” was issued outside his Ministerial and Discretionary scope by reason of the facts indicating he was not qualified to take jurisdiction because he was disqualified pursuant to 28 USC, Section 455 in his “Conflict of Interest.” <br>. 19.    Miller’s wrongful denial of 25 Feb 2008 thereby had catastrophic consequences for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty --  who Miller ignored when he issued his denial, which had the effect of allowing unchallenged continuance of said U.S. Executive Branch issued “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards,” effectively motivating Terrorists to mutilate, torture, and murder captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in “War Crime” violations of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977 as further explained, herein. <br>. 20.    Linked to Miller’s Denial and bizarre refusal to address the life and death issues of Case H-08-60 and Miller instead focus on the $450 filing fee marks Miller and reveals his unbalanced state of mind in that he focused on trivia while the lives of three captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War hung in the balance endangered by Miller’s Denial and delays of Case H-08-60. <br>. 21.   Miller, by taking jurisdiction outside his ministerial and discretionary scope as disqualified under 28 Section 455 and by wrongfully denying Plaintiffs’ life saving efforts of Case H-08-60 on 25 Feb 2008, Miller effectively removed any lawful potential for change in said U.S. Executive Branch issued “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards.” <br>. 22.   Thus, Miller, disqualified under Title 28, Section 455 and then acting in his Private Persona, issued an unlawful denial in Case H-08-60 which prevented Case H-08-60 from going forward to make life saving efforts on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br> . 23.   Disqualified under Title 28, Section 455 and by denying Case H-08-60 to go forward in a timely manner to publich “equal-to-terrorist-$25-Million-reward-conditions” of $25 million dollar Rewards on behalf of the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, Miller, acting in his Private Persona, did interfere with Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 and prevented “equal-to-terrorist-$25-Million-reward-conditions” from being heard by a jury in a timely manner. <br>. 24.       As a connected result of Miller’s wrongdoing in making the $450 filing fee a more important focus of Case H-08-60 than the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, while Miller acted outside the ministerial and discretionary scope of U.S. District Court Judge and, instead, acted in his Private Persona as “Gray Miller,” the body of Sgt. Keith Maupin was recovered in Iraq on 30 March 2008, and the bodies of Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were recovered on 09 July 2008. <br>. 25.    The fact that Miller acted in the above described manner indicates Miller is unbalanced in his mental abilities to recognize that there is a profound difference between life and death issues compared to the trivia of his emphasis on the $450 filing fee. <br> . 26.  In conformance with 5th Cir. R., Plaintiff is not disputing Miller’s wrongful denial of Plaintiffs’ Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 even though Miller’s denial should have no standing. Plaintiff MacKenzie is pointing out the obvious conditions that existed before Miller took wrongful jurisdiction and issued his wrongful Denial. <br> . 27.   It should be noted that there are four family Plaintiffs listed in Case H-08-60. Julieta Vasquez-MacKenzie the Aunt of Kristian Menchaca is unemployed, without funds, and should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not “U.S. Judge Gray Miller”).  <br> . 28.   Cesar Menchaca, brother of Kristian Menchaca is unemployed, without funds, and should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not “U.S. Judge Gray Miller”). <br>  . 29.  Maria Guadalupe Vasquez, mother of Christian Menchaca, under employed based on her economic condition, should have right to proceed under Forma Pauperis, yet was denied by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not “U.S. Judge Gray Miller”). <br> .30.   Kenneth MacKenzie was allowed to proceed in U.S. District Court to U.S. Supreme Court twice under his current economic profile in U.S. Supreme Court cases 95-9090 and 97-7616, yet was denied Application To Proceed Without Payment Of Fee in Case H-08-60 in Miller’s denial of 25 Feb 2008, by Miller while acting outside his ministerial and descretionary scope disqualified under Title 28 Section 455, then acting in his Private Persona as Gray Miller (not “U.S. Judge Gray Miller”)..   <br>. 31. Plaintiffs’ filed Case H-08-60 seeking orders to make rewards equally available to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War; and, Plaintiffs sought damages to be paid by Defendant Gonzales to the Vasquez Menchaca family, while listing several “Interested Parties” including Bush as possible Defendants should investigation indicate they were culpable in the wrongful death of Plaintiffs’ family member, PFC Kristian Vasquez Menchaca, who was captured by Terrorist insurgents, during June 2006, together with PFC Thomas Tucker in Yosifiya, Iraq and both barbarically tortured to death largely as a consequence said discriminatory “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” broadcast by the U.S. government after their surrender / capture (not before surrender / capture).   <br>. 32.    Plaintiffs’ complaint is that Judge Gray Miller wrongfully took jurisdiction of this Case H-08-60 in disregard of Title 28, Section 455; and, after taking jurisdiction, Miller’s Denial of Plaintiffs’ Application to Proceed Without Payment was made outside Miller’s ministerial and discretionary scope and made in a condition that was a violation of Title 28, Section 455 regarding Case H-08-60. <br> . 33.     In retrospect of Miller taking jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, after the facts are considered that former Attorney General Gonzales is listed as a Defendant, President Bush’s name is listed as a “PARTY,” and a large number of Bush Cabinet Secretary appointees are listed as “Interested Parties” in H-08-60, why did Judge Miller not “do what is easy” and simply allow another judge who was not a Bush nominee / appointee take jurisdiction of H-08-60? The obvious answer to the obvious answer is that Miller obviously was obviously motivated by some interest to protect his Mentor, G.W. Bush and his several Cabinet Secretaries from facing the unpleasant prospect of answering for their structured and minipulated U.S. “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” against captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War that targeted them after capture motivating the very same Terrorist groups who were beneficiaries of life saving Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards to mutilate, torture, and murder “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’…” targeted U.S. soldiers ruthlessly denied “Fourteenth Amendment” equality of Terrorist life saving Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards that proveably saved the lives of all 100% of Terrorists who surrendered in Iraq, while U.S. “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” ruthlessly targeted and motivated the mutilation, torture, and murder of all 100% of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War in Iraq, said Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar life Rewards contrasting to “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” and thereby illustrating a relentlessly targeted low life value to captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War in criminal violation of Geneva Conventions and also in criminal violation of the U.S.RICO Act and U.S. Treason Act by encouraging and motivating Terrorist organization enemies of the United States (whose members benefitted after surrender by said Mega Million/$25 Million Dollar Rewards that motivated their Iraqi Sunni and Shiite and Kurdish captors not to mutilate, torture and murder them after capture) to mutilate, torture, and murder all 100% of captured U.S. soldier prisoners of War. <br>. 34.   From Petitioners’ common sense point of view in this matter, Judge Gray Miller appears to be mentally disabled, or worse, which indicates he may be as mentally disabled as those in the U.S. Executive Branch whose life destroying reward policies he appears to support.    <br>. 35.   Judge Gray Miller’s decision to take jurisdiction of Plaintiffs’ U.S. District Court Case H-08-60, Houston, after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as Defendant (Gonzales was a President-G.W.-Bush-appointee, like Miller), after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing as “Interested-Parties,”  members of the U.S. Executive Branch selected by Bush, and after being presented with the Case H-08-60 caption listing President G.W. Bush as an “Interested Party,” President G.W. Bush being the very same party who had nominated Miller to his decision-making position as District Court judge, Miller wrongfully took “conflict-of-interest” jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 when it was flooded with “Interested Parties,” including President Bush, whose presence in Case H-08-60 indicated an “extreme-conflict-of-interest” should Miller take jurisdiction of Case H-08-60. <br>. 36.   SEE: “USC Title 28, Section 455. Disqualification of justice, judge, or magistrate judge <br>(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned. <br>(b) He shall also disqualify himself in the following circumstances: <br>(1) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding; <br>. 37.    Miller took jurisdiction informed by the caption in Case H-08-60 of the names of the listed Executive Branch Defendant, Attorney General Gonzales (nominated by Bush), and the Interested Parties, including Miller’s mentor, President G.W. Bush, listed on the caption of Case H-08-60, which jurisdiction was immediately apparent as a “conflict of interest” to Miller due to the fact that Bush had nominated Miller to Miller’s position as District Court judge; and, obviously if Miller took jurisdiction, then Miller could repay Bush’s nomination favor by dismissing Case H-08-60 civil crime tort complaints against Bush and his Executive Branch Attorney Generals and Bush’s Cabinet Secretaries and dismissing Case H-08-60 civil crime tort complaints against Bush, himself, wherein Bush and his Executive Branch Secretaries and  Attorneys General could reasonably be named as <br>Defendants in Case H-08-60 should further facts indicate Bush and his Secretaries ought to be named as Defendants. <br>  . 39. Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 informed that :<br> (1) he was in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona.  <br> (2) Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 informed that “USC Title 28, Section 455 applied: “(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned . . .” <br>  (3) Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 surreptitiously without informing Petitioners he was a Bush nominee / appointee, <br> (4) took jurisdiction in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona obviously intent on issuing a denial that would likely operate to also deny “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” in Iraq and Afghanistan any opportunity at equal Life saving $25 Million Rewards that could come from Case H-08-60 and thereby save their lives in the same manner as said $25 Million dollar Rewards were saving the lives of Terrorists who surrendered in Iraq; <br> (5) Miller in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acted in his Private Person Persona while ignoring “USC Title 28, Section 455, … ‘(1) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding’; <br> (6) Before Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona, he was informed by Case H-08-60 of the following concerns on pages 343 and 344 of Plaintiffs’ primary Geneva Convention & RICO Crime complaints, wherein Plaintiffs’ were seeking damages and Court orders in an effort to save the lives of “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” targeted with U.S. “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” offered in Iraq and Afghanistan, Plaintiffs’ litigation of Case H-08-60 offering rewards of $25 Million expected to come from jury verdicts on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – and Plaintiffs offering rewards of $25 Million on the internet linked to litigation of Case H-08-60, said Reward Life Values sought by Plaintiffs to come from expected judgements in Case H-08-60 and to come from Reward donations sought by Plaintiffs to be made by the U.S. public to Reward Funds that Plaintiffs sought to establish as connected to Case H-08-60, under jurisdiction of the Court. <br> . 40.   SEE: U.S. Case H-08-60 ( Houston, Texas ) ¶ “...488. order that that U.S. Attorney General Mukasey (In Office: 09 Nov 2007)-Rice-Gates be restrained from administratively ‘bad-faith’ manipulating further torture-murders together with terrorist accessories, at large, and all previous reward offers based on said Title 1, “Counterterrorism fund,” Title 18, Title 22, and other U.S. Code Titles on “Rewards” for captured U.S. troops and “Rewards” for captured Terrorists be totaled and future rewards from said fund be offered as a $25 million dollar reward offered for each captured U.S. soldier returned alive into U.S. custody, said $25 million dollar rewards for U.S. Soldiers’ life-value to at least equal for U.S. Soldiers the rate of $25 million dollar rewards currently offered ($77 million previously paid) to save the lives of terrorists. <br>   . 41.   Apparently, the current U.S. Attorney General Mukasey (09 Nov 2007) , and Secretary Of State Rice intend to continue to administratively ‘bad-faith’ violate the U.S. Treason Act and deny equal life saving rewards allocated from said U.S. `Counterterrorism Fund\' reward money provisioned under USC TITLE I, Section 101 and under “TITLE 18, §ection 3071, Section 3072, and 22 U.S.C. Section 2708, money provisioned for the release of Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, 25, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, and  (5) Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, 19, of Waterford, Michigan, captured 12 May 2007, 2007 in Al Taqa, Iraq; and, … intend to stand by to allow Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty to be tortured to death as were 101st Airborne Division soldiers Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston, Texas, and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, Oregon.  Therefore, it is most urgent that Mukasey (09 Nov 2007) -Rice-Gates be restrained from administratively ‘bad-faith’ manipulating further torture-muders together with terrorist accessories, at large, who have demonstrated they commit war crimes against $50,000 low reward captured U.S. soldiers and violate the Geneva Conventions (I, III, IV), and, Geneva Convention Protocols I and II relative to the treatment of PRISONERS OF WAR.” <br> .42.  Therefore, again, more U.S. Soldiers are certain to be tortured, while the current U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey (09 Nov 2007) and Secretary Of State Rice watch, meanwhile withholding previously allocated reward money, already to be paid from said U.S. `Counterterrorism Fund,\' reward money provisioned under USC TITLE I, Section 101 and under “TITLE 18, §ection 3071, Section 3072, and ignoring 22 U.S.C. Section 2708 to save the lives of war prisoners Maupin, Jimenez and Fouty... <br>   . 43. Without signing any oath directly answering Title 28, Section 455, in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona, Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 and issued his denial which somehow never reached Plaintiffs in the mail; and, Miller then did nothing while said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – were murdered, while denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that protected the terrorists Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while denying same to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br>  .44  While Miller did nothing in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona, the death notifications regarding all three of said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin (body found 30 Mar 2008), Spc. Alex R. Jimenez (body found 09 Jul 2008) and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty (body found 09 Jul 2008) -- became published in the news media. <br> . 45.   Miller’s said denial in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona on Case H-08-60 and essential denial of immediate jury trial and delays caused by the circumstances of Miller’s behavior essentially maintained the operation of U.S. Executive Branch treasonable “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards,” which previously had been instrumental in the mutilation-torture-murders of Pvt Kristian Menchaca (Plaintiffs’ family member), Pvt Thomas Tucker, and Pvt Joseph Anziak, all who were not informed at enlistment that the U.S. Executive Branch had plans to slander, defame, betray, and otherwise lower their Reward life values 500 times below the lives of Terrorist enemies of the United States during Wartime to such an extent that said treasonable “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” essentially established that the lives of “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” were essentially valued at a level of “TRASH,” at 500 times less than the lives of Terrorist enemies of the United States. <br>. 46.  Said treasonable “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” that Miller manipulated to "continue-in-progress" was maintained by Miller making the U.S. Court filing fee more important than higher life saving $25 Million Rewards for captured US soldier Prisoners Of War, thereby in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona not allowing immediate processing of Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60, which sought to raise the “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” to a higher level of $25 Million equal to those life saving $25 Million Rewards the U.S. advertised and paid on behalf of terrorist enemies of the United States, while Pvt Kristian Menchaca (Plaintiffs’ family member), Pvt Thomas Tucker, and Pvt Joseph Anziak, Sgt. Keith Maupin (body found 30 Mar 2008), Spc. Alex R. Jimenez (body found 09 Jul 2008) and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty (body found 09 Jul 2008) were tortured to death and murdered by the very same terrorists who were beneficiaries of said higher “mega-million-to-$25-Million-dollar” life Rewards as advertised by Defendant Gonzales and the U.S. Executive Branch “Interested Parties,” Attorney Generals Ashcroft and Mukasey, Secretaries Rice, Rumsfeld, and Gates at U.S. Department of State and Department of Justice “Rewards For Justice” Web sites. <br>. 47. SEE: Rewards for Justice, Washington , D.C.20522-0303, 1-800-877-3927; RFJ@state.gov; <a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/</a> <br><a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page=wanted_captured&language=english" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page...</a> <br>. 48.   There are many reasons why Judge Gray Miller obviously should have not taken wrongful “Conflict-of-Interest” jurisdiction of Case H-08-60; however, Miller’s wrongful application of “Bush-Conflict-of-Interest” misappropriation of jurisdiction and Miller’s wrongful application of “Bush-Conflict-of-Interest” authority could have easily been assigned to another U.S. District Court judge, essentially assigned to a non-Bush nominee not in conflict. <br>. 49.    However, Miller grabbed a “Bush-Conflict-of-Interest” expropriation- control of Case H-08-60 and enabled himself as a self-appointed surrogate of Bush in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona to deny Plaintiffs any opportunity for a public trial that would expose the treasonable “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” structures of the U.S. Executive Branch targeting “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” with U.S. “$50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977, as described in Case H-08-60. <br>  .50.  Miller’s “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona had catastrophic death consequences for the remaining three terrorist-captured U.S. soldier Prisoners Of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – whose lives might well have been saved by timely application of the U.S. Rewards that Plaintiffs sought to equalize, in balance with the equal-protection-of-the-law provisions of the U.S. Fourteenth Amendment, as equal in value to the Mega-Million dollar rewards the U.S. Executive Branch was then currently advertising and paying-out, and paying-out on behalf of captured terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan, which had the effect of saving the lives of “at-large” terrorists who surrendered, as said U.S. mega-million-dollar Rewards were advertised at U.S. government Department of Justice and Department of State published “Rewards For Justice” Web sites. <br>.51. SEE: Rewards for Justice, Washington , D.C.20522-0303, 1-800-877-3927; RFJ@state.gov; <a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/</a> <br><a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page=wanted_captured&language=english" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page...</a> <br>. 52.    Miller’s wrongful “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona in application of “Bush-Conflict-of-Interest” judicial authority to deny Plaintiffs’ Application to proceed to hearing and immediate trial of Case H-08-60, essentially interfered with life saving U.S. Reward publications of “Fourteenth Amendment Equal-to-terrorist-$25 Million Dollar Rewards for Captured U.S. Soldiers” on behalf of the lives of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, who were then, 22 Feb 2008 being held as terrorist-captured U.S. soldier Prisoners Of War in Iraq and facing barbaric mutilation, torture, and murder at the hands of their terrorist captors. Hearing and immediate trial of Case H-08-60 would undoubtedly have changed all this had not Miller expropriated jurisdiction away from other U.S. judges who were not self-appointed Henchmen for the U.S. Executive Branch White House. <br> . 53.   Plaintiffs waited on Miller’s decision regarding their “Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee” (Forma Pauperis) from February to June 2008. Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie then contacted the Court Clerk to determine if the Court assessed additional charges to issue Summons in Case H-08-60. The Clerk explained that Miller had denied Plaintiffs’ “Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee” on 25 Feb 2008 and the Clerk had mailed him a copy of Judge Miller’s Denial during February 2008. <br>. 54.   Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie explained he was unaware of Miller’s denial, had never received notice of Miller’s Denial in the mail, and requested a copy from the U.S. District Court Clerk. <br> . 55.  Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie then filed an Appeal of Miller’s said denial with the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans . <br>. 56.   Subsequently, Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie learned from U.S. News media that Sgt. Keith Maupin’s body remains had been found, 30 March 2008, in Iraq after the U.S. Defense Department had paid more than $200,000 to Informants to reveal the location. Later, 09 Jul 2008, the U.S. News Media announced the body recoveries of Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br> . 57.   Based on U.S. Army intelligence that Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were alive at the time Plaintiffs filed their lawsuit Case H-08-60, then Miller’s denial in “conflict of interest” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona on Plaintiffs’ “Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee” on 25 Feb 2008 effectively interfered with and blocked Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 efforts to save Sgt. Keith Maupin’s life by Plaintiffs’ seeking higher $25 Million Dollar ‘Fourteenth Amendment Equal’ Rewards on behalf of  “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” who were apparently evaluated as “Undermen” by the Miller-supported U.S. Executive Branch at $50,000 Dollar ‘Death Sentence’ Reward, each. <br>. 58.   Hence, Miller’s denial in “conflict of interest,” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in his Private Person Persona on Plaintiffs’ “Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee,” on 25 Feb 2008, effectively interfered with and blocked Plaintiffs’ Case-H-08-60-sought “Fourteenth-Amendment-EQUAL-To-Terrorists” $25 Million life-saving Rewards on behalf of  “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War”; and, Miller thereby corruptly and criminally denied the “U.S. Bush White House $50,000-Dollar-‘Death-Sentence’-Reward-targeted Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty an “equal chance” to be $25 Million “Reward-equal” to terrorist enemies of the United States during wartime. Essentially, in bad faith and conflict of interest, Miller deliberately, corruptly and criminally, with malice aforethought, expropriated jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 apparently with the premeditated purpose of murderously denying “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” the possibility of “equal” life saving Rewards of $25 Million that had already proven to save the lives of 100% of all Terrorists who had surrendered in Iraq. <br>. 59.      Miller’s murderously treasonable denial of Case H-08-60 efforts to save “U.S. Bush White House $50,000-Dollar-‘Death-Sentence’-Reward-targeted Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty from the treasonable effects of the “U.S. Bush White House $50,000-Dollar-‘Death-Sentence’-Rewards clearly revealed Miller’s murderous Treason against the soldiers and national defense of the United States that is outside Miller’s ministerial and discretionary scope, which proveably indicates Miller must be impeached and prosecuted for his murders and treasons against the people and military personel of the United States.  <br>. 60.     Miller premeditatedly taking jurisdiction, when Title 28 Section 455 clearly indicated he should recuse himslef, shows that Miller intended to issue denials that would treasonably cost the lives of “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” as Bush’s and Miller’s record clearly illustrates. Said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br>. 61.     The facts indicate that Miller had information that indicated “U.S. $50,000-Dollar-‘Death-Sentence’-Rewards had targeted Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, before Miller took jurisdiction of Case H-08-60. Miller took jurisdiction that was not his to take by snaking around Title 28, Section 455 and issuing denials against Plaintiffs’ efforts to save the lives of said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. <br>. 62.     Should another U.S. District Court judge, instead of Miller, have taken jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 and allowed $25 Million dollar Rewards in defiance of the Bush U.S. Executive Branch $50K Death Rewards, it would be almost impossible for the Bush U.S. Executive Branch to appeal in front of the public as at that perticular juncture the Bush Administration would be then be publicly recognized as appealing to restore its treasonably low $50,000 Death Sentence Rewards to continue motivating Terrorists to mutilate, torture, and murder “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War” as contrasted alongside Bush-Gonzales-Rice $25 Million dollar Rewards for terrorists, which said $25 Million dollar Rewards if allowed for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War would be 14th Amendment Equal and thereby would create higher potential to save the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War. <br> . 63.     Miller was informed of this and instead elected to corruptly expropriate jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 when other U.S. District Court Judges could have been assigned to Case H-08-60 had Miller not expropriated Case H-08-60 for his own wrongful decision making process, which directly and indirectly aided and abbeted life destroying Terrorism against said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards while ruthlessly, relentlessly, and treasonably denying same life saving protection to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War. <br>. 64.      Miller was informed that such an Executive Branch Appeal would reveal the U.S. Executive Branch had been committing furtive and surruptitious life-destroying Treason against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Title 18 US Code once the Appeal was seen alongside the body count of $50,000 Death Sentence U.S. soldiers in the light of Public Opinion. <br>. 65.      Moreover, the tortured bodies of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller’s Treasons in denying them right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. provided to Terrorists would also expose Miller’s U.S. Code Treasons against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War as Miller had operated his U.S. Code Treason violations when he administratively and judicially murdered Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty by means of his said denials in Case H-08-60. Whle “murder” appears to be a strong term, this stronng term murder is exactly what was inflicted on captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller’s Treasons in denying U.S. soldier Prisoners of War right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. provided to Terrorists by Miller’s mentally unbalanced behavior of Miller insisting that a $450 Court fee was more important than the lives of said captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty – who were savagely murdered by their Terrorist Captors, while said U.S. soldier Prisoners of War were denied by Bush and Miller the higher $25 million Dollar Rewards that saved the lives of terrorists who Bush and Miller protected with said $25 million Dollar Rewards. <br>. 66.     Miller’s denial of Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 effectively identified Miller as an “Anti-American” judge issuing “Auschwitz-type” judicial decisions in support of “Auschwitz-type” U.S. Attorney Generals and “Treasonable U.S. Executive Branch Secretaries” that produced “Auschwitz-type” ‘Death-Sentences’ against “Terrorist Captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War.” <br>. 67.      It is not hyperbole to say “Cain slew Able”; and, Miller slew Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, by means of denying Case H-08-60 Plaintiffs’ efforts to proceed. While it is obvious that Miller’s judicial denial of Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 did relate to the Terrorist murders of Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, and was both indirect and direct, this condition does not make Miller’s slaying of Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez any less truthful. <br>. 68.   Miller’s Forma Pauperis denial interfered with Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 efforts to increase U.S. Reward amounts to $25 Million each for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War and on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in direct correlation of Miller’s Treasons in denying Maupin’s, Fouty’s, and Jimenez’s Fourteenth Amendment right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars already bestowed to Terrorists by Attorney Generals Ashcroft, Gonzales, and Mukaysey, said  $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars having been criminally and treasonably denied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez by Attorney General Ashcroft, Attorney General Gonzales, Sectretaries Rice & Rumsfeld denying $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars, then later treasonably denied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez sucessively by Attorney General Mukaysey, Secretary Rice, and Gates. <br>. 69.      Miller’s wrongful expropriation of Case H-08-60 and refusal to recuse himself indicates “the thing speaks for itself (‘Res Ips Loquitor’),” a Pattern of behavior by Miller that incorporates the same manipulation of “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” that Miller continued when he ignored the fact that he was a Bush Nominee / Appointee, and concealed from Plaintiffs the fact that he was a Bush Nominee, who most wrongfully ignored USC Title 28, Section 455, and wrongfully took jurisdiction which was outside Miller’s Ministerial and Discretionary scope according to the provisions of  USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby Miller issuing Miller’s denial in Case H-08-60 that effectively blocked Plainfiffs; and, furthermore, following from Miller’s denial, the U.S. Court Clerk did not notify Plaintiffs in a timely manner by certified U.S. Mail regarding these most important “life-and-death” issues as Miller’s Denial applied to Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez. The Clerk’s notification by regular U.S. mail proved to be inadequate as Plaintiffs never received any word of Millers denial until Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie contacted the Clerk in June 2008 to determine if the Court charged for issuance of Summons.<br> . 70.      Miller’s entire pattern of conduct from his wrongful expropriation of  Case H-08-60 to his predictable “Denial” of “Plaintiffs’ Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)” indicates that Miller had decided to subordinate the “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” considerations to the even lower amount of a $450 filing fee for Case H-08-60 before he wrongfully expropriated jurisdiction of Case H-08-60 to  manipulate his wrongful denial of Plaintiffs efforts to proceed to a speedy trial and hearing.  <br>. 71.      Before unlawfully usurping  and expropriating jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, Miller apparently premeditated a criminal plan whereby after wrongfully expropriating jurisdiction, Miller ignored and furthermore trivialized Case H-08-60 by criminally subordinating the life and death reward issue considerations of the U.S. Executive Branch “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” offers to Miller’s even lower criminal amount of a $450 filing fee for Case H-08-60 requiring a $450 filing fee to be paid before Miller would consider the fact that captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez -- in Iraq would be murdered by their Terrorist Captors while Miller trivialized their lives at an even lower amount of a $450 Court filing fee compared to “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards”. <br>. 72.      While there were several ways said $450 Court filing fee for Case H-08-60 could have been processed or handled, Miller manipulatively and unecessarily selected the single condition that created the most delay and liklihood of mutilation, torture, and “certain-murder” against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez – by Miller selectively denying “Plaintiffs’ Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)” for Case H-08-60, which sought to change the Bush Executive Branch “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War to become equal to higher life-saving Rewards of $25 Million that Bush’s Executive Branch was offering and paying to save lives of surrendered terrorists and “at large” terrorists from April 2004 through 09 July 2008 and to the present time, but was treasonably denying to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War unto torture, mutilation and murder prohibited by Geneva Convention III of 1949 and The Geneva Protocols of 1977. <br>.73.    Plaintiffs’ Case H-08-60 set forth higher life-saving Rewards of $25 Million each for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War  -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez – that Miller treasonably denied as equal $25 Million dollar rewards to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War  -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez --  while Miller was actively and deliberately in violation of USC Title 28, Section 455 and thereby acting outside of his Ministerial and Discretionary scope. <br>. 74.     When the overall pattern of Miller’s behavior is examined, from the time prior to his wrongful taking jurisdiction of Case H-08-60, in conflict as a Bush appointee surruptitiously not informing Plaintiffs, a Bush appointee denying captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War  -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez – the $25 Million Dollar Rewards sought by Plaintiffs in Case H-08-60, it is most apparent that Miller intended to insure that the White House Reward Treasons against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War would continue to motivate terrorist enemies of the United States to inflict mutilation, torture, and murder against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War, whose Reward life values had obviously been slandered and defamed by “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards” to the “lowest life value” in Iraq and Afghanistan, in fact slandered to 500 times less than the most wanted Terrorists, bin Ladin and Zawahiri, thereby portraying captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War as virtually valueless “trash” to their Moslem captors who well understood the Moslem tradition of “Blood Money.” <br>. 75.      The horiffic consequences of said treasonable Executive Branch “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” policy were that Terrorist captors consistently and predictably mutilated, tortured, and murdered captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977 as inspired by “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards”. <br>. 76.      What is most revealing about Miller’s wrongful behavior is that Case H-08-60 redunantly set forth the details of said treasonable Executive Branch “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” policy and plainly explained how said $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” policy had produced an ever increasing body count of predictably mutilated, tortured, and murdered captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War in violation of Geneva Convention III of 1949 and Geneva Protocols of 1977. <br>.77.      Yet, Miller, with this information of Case H-08-60 in hand, surruptitiously took jurisdiction apparently with the most vile and criminal of intentions to deny Plaintiffs’ efforts to increase rewards on behalf of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War who were Victims of the White House Executive Branch “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Reward” policy. <br>. 78.     Miller’s wrongful expropriation of Case H-08-60 and refusal to recuse himself indicates that his deliberate denial of Plaintiffs’ “Application to Proceed Without Payment of Fee (Forma Pauperis)” was premeditatedly made with hostile and murderous indifference to the fate of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez. <br>. 79.      Miller wrongfully interfered with Case H-08-60 by denying it from being heard by a trail jury and Grand Jury. It is obvious that Miller intended to prevent higher Rewards for captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War and intended to stand by to allow Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty to be tortured to death by Terrorist captors in Iraq . And, this is essentially what happened as a result of Miller denying Case H-08-60 going forward to trial, thereby treasonably denying equal $25 Million dollar rewards to captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War  -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez --  while Miller was actively and deliberately in violation of USC Title 28, Section 455 and thereby acting outside of his Ministerial and Discretionary scope. <br>. 80.      This sequence of events is so obvious in Miller’s behavior that “the thing speaks for itself (‘Res Ips Loquitor’)”: Miller’s behavior and denial of Case H-08-60 as being connected to the deaths of Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty by denying Case H-08-60 from going forward to trial based on Miller’s perverse demand that the $450 court filing fee be paid instead of waiving it in the interest of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War  -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez, thereby denied and prevented higher Rewards to save their lives as equally as the U.S. Executive Branch was saving Terrorist lives with the higher $25 Million dollar Rewards it advertised at its several “Rewards for Justice” Web Sites located at the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of State, at the same time Miller’s treasonable denial was in effect from 25 Feb 2008 to the present, August 2008. <br>. 81.   SEE: Rewards for Justice, Washington , D.C.20522-0303, 1-800-877-3927; RFJ@state.gov; <a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/</a> <br><a href="http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page=wanted_captured&language=english" rel="nofollow">http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/index.cfm?page...</a> <br>. 82.      Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez had U.S. Fourteenth Amendment rights to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars to be treated with at least the same life-saving reward equality as Terrorist enemies of the United States and not to be treasonably slandered so far downward as to be publicly announced in the media as being assigned by their own government as at the lowest reward values, “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards,” in Iraq, unto 500 times less reward life value than the terrorist enemies of the United States. <br>  .83.    At this particular juncture, it is most appropriate to question whether the U.S. Executive Branch in its advocacy of the lowest reward values, “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards,” in Iraq , unto 500 times less reward life value than the terrorist enemies of the United States was a violation of Title 18, Section 2381 – Treason, by deliberation or by error. <br>. 84.   SEE: USC Title 18, Section 2381 – Treason: Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. <br> . 85.     Plaintiff concedes that it is possible for high ranking persons in U.S. government, deficiently educated in the law, even unbalanced U.S. Court Judges like Miller, to ignorantly perpetrate and commit acts that violate United States Codes, including ignorant violations of RICO (especially RICO) and ignorant violations of Treason, completely oblivious of the violations. <br>. 86.      However, ignorance, if true, does not mean that ignorant perpetration of a serious U.S. Code violation linked to atrocities and War Crimes against captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Maupin, Fouty, and Jimenez -- should be ignored or forgiven. <br>. 87.      U.S. Judge Miller, after reading and learning the contents of Case H-08-60, obviously planned to expropriate wrongful jurisdiction with the purpose in mind of delaying consideration of U.S. Case H-08-60 in direct correlation of denying Maupin’s, Fouty’s, and Jimenez’s Fourteenth Amendment right to higher and equal Rewards of $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars to be Reward equal to Terrorists who were surviving surrender and capture in Iraq at a 100 % survival rate because they were blessed with Mega-Million dollar rewards while U.S. soldiers were cursed with “U.S. $50,000 ‘Death Sentence’ Rewards,” which obviously caused them to be tortured to death and murdered as targets of Bush’s White house Culture of Torture. <br>. 88.     The information of this issue indicates that captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty were murdered during the time period of 22 Feb 2008 to 08 July 2008, during said time period that U.S. Judge Miller, outside his ministerial and discretionary scope, did deny Plaintiffs’ efforts to provide $25 Million Dollar Rewards to save the lives of captured U.S. soldier Prisoners of War -- Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty -- on a Reward life value equal to said  $25 Million U.S. Reward dollars bestowed by the U.S. Executive Branch on Terrorists. <br>. 89.     Miller’s denial was in “conflict of interest,” outside his ministerial and descretionary scope, in disqualification under “USC Title 28, Section 455, thereby acting in Miller’s Private Person Persona In decisions that impact the question of human-life during administration of any private or government institution, meanwhile understanding there are many ways to administratively save or destroy lives, directly and indirectly, or by manipulation of nonfeasance, misfeasance, or malfeasance. <br>. 90.      Thus, Miller’s denial of Case H-08-60 did have the same detrimental and life-destroying effect as applied by the U.S. Executive Branch against Sgt. Keith Maupin, Spc. Alex R. Jimenez and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty. Miller’s wrongful behavior in not recusing himself is very obvious on the face of the record in the matter of Case H-08-60, in that “the thing speaks for itself (‘Res Ips Loquitor’).” <br> . 91. Complainant / Plaintiff requests this Court to appoint a \'Special Counsel\' to present information of the herein alleged Felonies to a U.S. Grand Jury if the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Attorney General, fails or refuses to present information of the listed Crimes, herein, to a Grand Jury, and Complainant / Plaintiff requests these wrongdoings be publicly investigated by U.S. law enforcement agencies to include FBI, Homeland Security Agency, and BATF; and, said Crime reports be provided to these agencies and to the various U.S. Grand Juries and courts having jurisdiction of the Crimes reported by Plaintiff Kenneth MacKenzie of the Kristian Menchaca Family and, within this Court\'s Jurisdiction. <br>. 92.  The Kristian Menchaca Family petitions this Court issue a Protective Order to include the protection of the U.S. Victim/Witness program to Protect the Family of Kristian Menchaca . <br>                                                       Complainant’s signature : S/ Kenneth MacKenzie, <br>                                                      Printed name : Kenneth MacKenzie; <br>                                                       title : Pro Se, Properia Persona, Complainant /<br>                                                       Plaintiff member of Kristian Menchaca Family <br>                                                       of U.S. Court Case H-08-60 - Houston, TX  and<br>                                                                  U.N.

Perhaps you prefer to be in a high rise when an airplane decides to fly through it.  Or maybe you prefer to be incinerated by a suitcase nuke.<br>Bush was far from perfect, but I do believe 9/11 left him on a mission to make America was safe.  Maybe you would have done a better job?  Just remember this - YOUR Congressman and Senators, the majority of whom were Democrats in the congress, voted on the issues of the war and passed it.  And for the sake of argument, lets say they did not have all the facts in front of them.  How many of them took the time to dig in and find the truth before pressing the YES button?  How many letters have you written to your representative in the last 8 years?<br>The fact is, that information is hard to get form combatants - especially those as committed to a cause as some of them were.  Were there some innocents in there - possible.  Just like there is the possibility of innocents in our jail system.  But what both of those possibility have is putting themselves in a situation of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.  That is harsh but so is life.  I lost my son in Iraq, so if there is anyone who hates the war, I\'m near the top of the list. But personal loss and sacrifice is what made this country great, not a bunch of whiners wanting their RIGHTs. The only right you have is to get up and do something beside want everyone else to take care of your mistakes and wants.</div>\

As to Christianity, it is voluntary.  I am a Christian.  No one controls me.  I CHOOSE to believe, because it is the most RATIONAL thing going.  Atheism is irrational.  And I also happen to believe that the best way to have a civilized world that is worth living in is to follow Christian principles as given in Scripture (not as made up in someone\'s imagination).  Libertarian notions of live-and-let-live include a lot of really funky stuff that doesn\'t work out so well in the real world.  There is no perfect world this side of eternity.  There is an upside and a downside to everything, including your libertarian daydreams.  If everyone lived by Christian principles, the upside would be a civilized world with greatly reduced war, crime, and the other bad stuff that people do.  Because people would keep themselves to just their one spouse, sexually transmitted diseases would disappear.   The only downside would be for humanists who would feel they had no freedom to do all the immoral things that liberals are pushing on society and which are destroying society.</div>\

Memes is just a fancy word for ideas, and the recognition of their power.<br><br>We know the history and future of the world is about ideas, and the selection of which ideas have value, which ideas get exposure, which ideas when applied lead to a better life. <br><br>I may have read some Dawkins many years ago, but I have read a lot over my years, and still I feel not enough. To accuse my thinking of being controlled because I use  word coined by an author, is a bit silly. <br><br>To your point, I believe in the basic christian values. The 10 commandments make rational sense. Most religions have some great values. What you say about principles has a lot of merit, christian principles, jewish principles, muslim and buddhist principles all have positive upside when applied. <br><br>What I object to is the power of religion (or facism or socialism) over people because the very structure of these belief systems says anything outside of the belief system is wrong, bad, evil, etc. This world view even if initiated from a positive source, leads to intolerance, and fear. If a Pastor or Priest who is essentially a good spirtual person gets up and says "homosexuality is evil", or "don\'t use condoms, just abstain from sex until marriage", or "support the Iraq war",  or "white is black", people who have heard other positive messages from that Pastor will blend that right in with what they believe. Why? because the Pastor "knows God\'s intent", and "God says so", and according to many religions if you don\'t follow "God\'s word", you will "go to hell". And the people will reinforce these beliefs throught the flock. <br><br>When you talk about humanists and what is immoral, you are getting a bit high and mighty, which is what I expect from so called religious folks. To think about all of the bloodshed from people in power that used religion as a cover for other very immoral agendas... we don\'t<br> have time to list them all. From the Crusades to the Taliban it is all the same.<br><br>If you look at the the Judiasm, Christianity and Islam, many of the core principles and values are the same, and they are postive values for living. Then why are people who should have the positive beliefs killing each other for eternity? <br><br>They are killing each other because people in power are using their people\'s religious devotion for their own immoral agendas.<br><br>I don\'t think your quote "Libertarian notions of live-and-let-live" is the crux of Libertarian ideas, but it seems a good idea to me. What do you propose, "live-and-let-die"? Because to be honest I think "live-and-let-die" is the reality of the hate I see spewed by people who call themselves Christians and fundamentalists of most religions.<br><br>If you "don\'t believe in god, you will go to hell", is an idea which is dehumanising. Even worse is "if you don\'t believe in my brand of god you will...".<br><br>I don\'t need a god to tell me to not covet or kill, I think most of us know good from bad. If you think that Christians or any religious folk are more moral than other folk you are deceiving yourself.<br><br>Indeed, if you have a rational belief based on your experience which is truly yours, I think that is much more powerful for to to uphold than spoon fed beliefs from a powerful source. In the "religious" case once you doubt some of the beliefs or the source you doubt everything. How many "spriritual leaders" in this country have been outed as the nastiest, greediest, most morally decrepit scum? Quite a few. Other non-religious people are morally bankrupt too. Even libertarians. :)<br><br>There is a reason why our founding fathers embdeded into our Consttution the important idea of separation of church and state, and I am grateful for it.<br><br>Our founding fathers also envisioned a less powerful central government than we have allowed to posses us over the years, as other posters have pointed out.</div>\

The first revolution with Britain was over being charged 3% in taxes and our freedom!  We now work 6 to 9 months out of the f#*king year to pay all the taxes that are FORCED upon us (30 to 75%) and we have very little freedom left.  It is beyond time for the second revolution to begin.  This tyrannical government is in enslavement mode and you know it!!  It doesn\'t matter if the people get informed as you said, when the corruption becomes so deep (ACORN, special interest groups, lobbyists etc. etc...) that the people\'s voice becomes discounted time and time and time and time........again!!!!!!!  America IS ripe for another revolution!!  And this government just keeps firing corrupt bullets over our bow of patience.

America was different!  It was where the individual could go as far as they could dream, without interference or theft from the government.  People used to be able to start a small business by putting a shingle out. Now look at the red tape and hoops they have to jump thru.  This hurts the poorest of people even tho they have a great idea, to bad, if you don\'t have alot of money, alot of education you aren\'t going anywhere!  Do you really think all these government rules and regs. really help our country?  Look at cap and trade. Its only going cause more poverty because we\'re going to be taxed more than we\'ve ever been taxed before.  We all work for the greedy bastards in Washington, the state governments and the local city governments!  They are stealing billions of dollars from us, and I\'m not even talking about the pork and pet projects.  I\'m talking about what they actually put in they\'re pockets. Go work for any government agency.  I garantee it won\'t take long before you see theft for yourself.  There\'s no excuse in hell, for the taxes we pay, not one!!!!!  And do you actually think that the people who founded our great country were stupid???????????  How the hell did they survive without the nanny state taking care of them.  Have you ever asked yourself that?  We use to be FREE to soar.  It wasn\'t a mad-max style society when this country was free.  Someone sold you a bill of goods and sadly you bought it!</div>\

This created such a huge stink that the State of California had to pass a law to prevent the insurers from reneging on their policies.<br><br>When you\'re healthy, they\'ll happily take your money.  As soon as you get sick, they look for any way possible to get rid of you.  That\'s not my opinion, that\'s historical fact.  It\'s called protecting your bottom line.<br><br>It also illustrates the incredible stupidity behind private companies providing the only health insurance.  If you\'re in a for-profit business, then the company\'s profit is your main consideration and that is diametrically opposed to your main business activity - paying for health care, which goes into the expense column.<br><br>The two conflict.  They will always conflict.  And this is NOT good for your health care.  There is ample evidence, historically, to show this, not to mention that half the people in one of the wealthiest nations in the world can\'t afford basic health care.  <br><br>In my sarcastic opinion, only an utter moron would sing the praises of private health care as the primary health insurance.  It\'s just so obviously stupid.<br><br>Another little-known tactic for Insurance companies is the morbid calculation of your death versus payments.  Sometimes expensive treatment authorizations are slow-rolled to the point that the claimant dies because of lack of treatment.  Instant savings for the insurance company.  Run a google search on that and sit back, read and become pissed off.  Welcome to greed versus your health.<br><br>Primary health care should be provided by the people for the people.

How well do they pay out?  Ever been to a VA hospital?  Ever been to a foreign hospital?  You don\'t like how insurance companies treated you?  They are a business. They do not owe you or me anything.  If you don\'t like the guidelines, then work with government to change the regulations, don\'t set up an entire government system to fix the rules - just fix the rules.<br>And lastly, MOST of the AIDs epidemic was limited to the portion of society that made their OWN personal choices to live a lifestyle which had inherent risks.  Now you have the right to take those risk\'s, just like smoking, drinking, drug use etc.  But why should those of us who took the time to think about what our choice would do have to pay for your bad choices?  And before you go down the path of "you just came from a good family had better opportunities blah blah blah.... "  I came from an alcoholic father who wasn\'t afraid to use the belt or throw me across a room.  We weren\'t rich and we went hungry from time to time.  I paid my own way through college via 2 jobs and student loans.<br>I also lived many years without medical insurance. You know what I did?  I made sure I SAVED money in the event I needed medical care. From there I bought emergency health insurance. Then I made sure I could get a job that had benefits.<br>so stop looking for a hand out, own up to the consequences of personal choices and stop trying to make the rest of us pay for it.</div>\

That may equal the profit margin for the year. I asked the head of BCBS of Michigan directly if he thought that was ethical. "Oh, if they are legitimate claims, they will resubmit them."

The problem is not that Obama is spending tax-payer money, it is how that money is being spent.  It could be going to provide health care for every person in this country - through a single-payer system.  Instead he is going to flush millions more down the drain while filling the coffers of private health insurance companies.  What Mr. DeMint fails to understand is that you cannot be free if you are sick and strapped with health care debts.  Using tax money wisely to create social guarantees will create a new basis for freedom.</div>\

If you seek help from a licensed lawyer,he will boilerplate you,using legalese,so you think you are being duly represented,but you STILL lose the case & you go away broke,erroneously thinking your lawyer did the best of his ability. Lawyers KNOW the illegalities of our tax system,but keep their mouths shut because THAT is the basis of their livelyhood. Thay get paid whether they win or lose,so there is no incentive to winning.Losing is easier,faster & requires less effort on their part! My wife thwarted their efforts to garnishee her wages.They then garnisheed mine( I was Gov\'t employee at the time.--I could not win because of my ststus. I eventually got my money returned. Not by justice, but by act of congress. I would have rather won in court. Now that I know the rules,I cannot play the game. So,instead,I tried to help other people. I assisted in unauditing 1 woman,& helped a few others defend themselves in court. Judges offered greatly reduced fines for their submissions---& they took it. They had it in the bag,then let it go. Oh,well, I\'m sure it was a scary ordeal for them,& I guess it could be viewed as a partial victory for them. At least they represented themselves.A paid lawyer would have gotten them the same offer,so, they saved money there,PLUS maybe they went away proud of what they accomplished face to face w/big Gov\'t.I hope so.</div>\

Hypocrites,(Pelosi, Biden, Bush, Obama,eg), who pretend to be Christians and then endorse every sin condemned in the Bible, and those who are admittedly practicing atheists. Neither of those positions is defensible.
