Dear Aaron:

The article in the Napa Sentinel came out a day early! 

Here's the article and you can see it at:

http://napasentinel.com/ArticleTemplate.php?id=1020&pid=1

The article is just a teazer,

but Harry Martin wants me to stop by his office this coming week and give him more information about the lawsuit and my whole story so he can continue with his series of articles.

If you like, I will mail you a hardcopy of the newspaper so you can see what it looks like and save a copy of it for your records. 

I saved a whole bunch of copies and I'm going to mail them out to people I know.

For all of those people who don't think they can get good publicity, this should prove that they can if they really try! 

They have to get out there are make face-to-face contact with the publishers before they will get their stories published!

Please pass the word to all of the rest of the victims I didn't include in my distribution list.

I will talk with you and the others on the conference call tonight.

Take care and thanks for all of your hard work.

Sincerely,

Don Friedman


NAPA MAN BATTLES U.S. SECRET SERVICE

Government won’t send files ordered by Court on electronic weapon system

by Harry V. Martin

First in a Series

Despite the fact that a murder attempt was made on his biological father and his adopted father was murdered,

a Napa man is challenging the United States government.

Donald M. Friedman is concerned about use of the Secret Service and any other government agencies using

"directed energy weapons systems on civilians."

He has filed several requests for documents from the government under the

Freedom of Information Act ................................."FOIA"

concerning directed energy weapons which the Pentagon claims are legal under international law.

Human rights groups are arguing that the weapons could be used inhumanely.

The devices can affect the human body.

Millimeter waveband energy can penetrate human skin to a very shallow depth, heating the tissue below.

This produces a burning pain without actually damaging the tissue.

The pain forces the person to flee the area.

This type of weapon, according to published reports,

shows great potential as a riot-control device or area-denial system.

The IEE International Symposium on Technology and Society in 1997 states,

“The development of high-power microwave weaponry,

and its proliferation into "subversive organizations,"

offers the means to commit the ............................."perfect crime".

The weapon  "attacks"  typically leave no residual evidence and their effects can range from

nuisance to ..............................catastrophic.

Friedman has been shoved from pillar to post by the federal government,

from denial that such weaponry exists to stalling on the release of any material.

In fact, in an attempt to cause a roadblock,

the federal government asked for $3828.28 in advance to gather the material.

Friedman paid the money and still no documents.

Finally, Friedman took the issue to federal court.

The federal government asked for delay after delay.

Finally, Judge Richard W. Roberts,

a United States District Judge ordered the United States Secret Service

to provide the documents requested by Friedman by July 20, 2007.

July 20 has come and gone and the Secret Services still failed to comply with the United States District Court order.

No explanation was given for not providing the documents –

just total silence.

Friedman is now filing contempt of court actions against the Secret Service and seeking sanctions.

NEXT:

Why Friedman wants the files.

Please let us know the latest on this case as soon as possible!

I am also a victim of these weapons, having written a "novelized" version of my story at http://www.badexperiments.com

I have reason to be confident that the agencies supporting these illegal tests of through-the-wall surveillance and weapons will experience an "implosion." The support for these illegal weapon tests is crumbling within the responsible agencies themselves. The next year should produce some very interesting results. Sit tight and be patient. Justice will be served.

PLAINTIFF PRO SE



THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

DONALD M. FRIEDMAN,       

Plaintiff,   

vs.

U.S. SECRET SERVICE,       

Defendant.   

Case No.: Case No. 06-cv-2125 (RWR)

VERIFIED MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF IMPROPERLY WITHHELD/EXCLUDED RECORDS, ETC.

1.    The Plaintiff in the above-captioned case respectfully moves for this court to immediately compel the Defendant,

U.S. Secret Service,

to provide the records, etc. it was previously ordered by this court to provide to the Plaintiff by July 20, 2007. 

See this court’s May 29, 2007 order. 

The vast majority of the requested records, etc. the Defendant has are presently being improperly withheld from the Plaintiff pursuant to the Defendant misusing many Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA†) 

exemptions and a 5 USC § 552 (c)(1) FOIA record exclusion provision to avoid providing (or even acknowledging the existence of) the records, etc.

to the Plaintiff which incriminate the agency in over 40 years of very serious criminal misconduct

including long-term, long-range, anonymous torture, coercion, control, abuse, etc. of the Plaintiff and thousands of other similarly-situated victims from up to 1000 meters away

and reveal the long-term, criminal misuse of directed-energy weapons (“DEWs†) and other directed-energy technologies (“DETs†),

as well as warrantless misuse of related, electromagnetic radiation-based, wall-penetrating audio and video surveillance equipment which is used in conjunction with the DEWs/DETs for DEW/DET targeting and warrantless individual and group monitoring.

2.    The relevant part of the FOIA statute related to the record exclusion provision the Defendant is misusing to shield its criminal misconduct states:
 
(c)(1) Whenever a request is made which involves access to records described in subsection (b)(7)(A) and--

(A) the investigation or proceeding involves a possible violation of criminal law; and

(B) there is reason to believe that

(i) the subject of the investigation or proceeding is not aware of its pendency, and

(ii) disclosure of the existence of the records could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings,

the agency may, during only such time as that circumstance continues, treat the records as not subject to the requirements of this section.

3.    The obviousness of the agency’s improper misuse of the record exclusion provision of the FOIA is extraordinary and the Defendant’s use of it is entirely pretextual. 

The Plaintiff has never been involved in any illegal conduct, with the possible exception of a few non-federal traffic infractions,

which the Defendant did not sadistically force him to be involved in,

the Plaintiff is fully aware of the pendency of the agency’s activities related to him, and there is absolutely no legitimate governmental purpose to the Defendant’s misuse of the DEWs, DETs, or warrantless surveillance on the Plaintiff or anyone else.

4.    The Plaintiff has obtained an admission from Mr. Larry Stewart, a former employee of the U.S. Secret Service,

that the U.S. Secret Service has, uses, and has deployed in the field

for use (in trucks he has personally seen) many of the DEWs and other DETs that the Plaintiff is alleging the Defendant has been sadistically misusing on the Plaintiff for over 40 years

(since very shortly after the Plaintiff was born, and the Plaintiff was born on November 21, 1966 and is 40 years old). 

See attached,

Exhibit “A,† a true and correct copy of a letter from Mr. Larry Stewart which indicates his 24 year employment with the U.S. Secret Service,

Exhibit “B,† a true and correct copy of Mr. Stewart’s curriculum vitae (CV), and

Exhibit “C,† a true and correct copy of a 3 page excerpt from a certified transcript of a telephone conversation between Mr. Larry Stewart and the Plaintiff while the Plaintiff was incarcerated.

5.    As evidence of the Defendant’s extreme bad faith in relation to admitting its current misuse of DEWs and DETs,

in 2003, the U.S. Secret Service committed perjury when it provided a sworn declaration to the federal court in another case which specifically stated that the U.S. Secret Service does not have or use any DEWs. 

See attached,

Exhibit “D,† a true and correct copy of the sworn and perjured declaration of Deputy Assistant Director Donald P. Zimmerman.

6.    In addition to the Plaintiff, there are thousands of other similarly situated victims who are also experiencing the typically daily torture, coercion, control, abuse, etc.

and other adverse effect that the agency’s personnel are criminally causing or have caused using equipment which A.E. Pevler,

an expert in high-power microwave weaponry,

calls the “means to commit the ‘perfect crime’† since the energy emitted from the DEWs and DETs penetrates almost every building material with ease and the use of the devices leaves no evidence of their use or misuse. 

See attached,

Exhibit “E,† a true and correct copy of the published paper by A.E. Pevler, entitled “Security Implications of High-Power Microwave Technology,† and

Exhibit “F,† a true and correct copy of  “Backgrounder,† a recent, well-written, and factually accurate newsletter entitled “The Viability of Directed Energy Weapons,† published by the Heritage Foundation in 2006,

which describes DEWs and some of their effects (on page 5, paragraph 4, of the newsletter it also confirms that a subset of high-power microwave or HPM weapons can effect the human body and this is relevant because A.E. Pevler’s article addresses HPM weapon use on electronic equipment,

but all of the same capabilities also apply to DEWs/DETs being used on human beings).

7.    After many instances of Defendant requesting nonsensical extensions and stays in the instant case,

including one motion for a stay which made up a non-existent fee issue,

this court ordered the Defendant to produce all requested records, etc.

to the Plaintiff by July 20, 2007.

8.    In the Defendant’s late response, dated July 23, 2007,

the Defendant sent the Plaintiff approximately 150 pages of documents,

some with redactions, along with a letter stating that 454 pages of additional records were being withheld in their entirety, pursuant to various exemptions.

See attached,

Exhibit “G,† a true and correct copy of the July 23, 2007 letter from the Defendant.

9.    The records the Defendant provided to the Plaintiff and the 454 pages which were withheld in their entirety represent only a very small portion of the records, etc. the Defendant has in its custody and/or control which are responsive to the Plaintiff’s FOIA request. 

10.    There is simply no conceivable way that the U.S. Secret Service has developed, researched, tested, procured, and rolled out for full, protective mission-related duty,

a fully developed and tested DEW/DET mobile platform which it has been misusing on the Plaintiff on a daily basis for over 10 years and frequently for the 30 years prior to that without generating a lot more records,

including enormous amounts of information related to the Plaintiff and all of the Defendant’s other victims. 

The Plaintiff is requesting all of it and the Defendant is cowardly refusing to come-clean and admit its wrongdoing so it can be judged by the American people and the criminal and civil courts. 

11.    The Defendant is improperly basing its use of the 5 USC § 552 (c)(1) record exclusion provision of the FOIA on the fact that any release of records, etc.

verifying the Plaintiff’s allegations of DEWs’/DETs’ misuse would instantly identify the Defendant as the source of all of the DEW/DET-related activities/misconduct,

and would indiscriminately allow all of its victims to instantly and positively identify the Defendant’s activities in relation to them,

which undoubtedly includes some persons the agency believes it has a legitimate right to use the DEW/DET devices on for investigations/enforcement actions who would also immediately become aware of the pendency of the agency’s activities in relation to them. 

This instant identification of the Defendant would be due to the unique, perceivable effects of the DEWs/DETs,

the fact that there are no other federal agencies as far along in using the unique, Secret Service-adapted/developed combination of DEWs/DETs,

as well as the Defendant’s unique methods of the use and misuse of the devices.

  This combination of technologies and methods of misuse provide a “signature,† identifiable as only belonging to the Defendant,

and the Defendant is using that as the flimsy, nonsensical excuse by which it is misusing the FOIA record exclusion provision of 5 USC § 552 (c)(1).

12.    The Defendant agency is deliberately misusing the record exclusion provision in a way it was never designed or intended to be used because it knows that if it discloses any records, etc.

which confirm the Plaintiff’s allegations it will allow every one of the thousands of the Defendant’s victims,

including the Plaintiff, to instantly, positively identify the Defendant as the source of the decades of torture, coercion, control, abuse, etc.

and will allow all of the victims to take legal action against the Defendant as well as expose the Defendant’s criminal and professional misconduct to the world,

which would have extremely far-reaching consequences,

including, but not limited to, the likely incarceration of all of the agency personnel involved and the stripping of the agency of the future use of any of the DEW, DET, and

wall-penetrating audio and video surveillance devices which have been so egregiously misused by the Defendant for over 40 years.

13.    The Defendant’s misuse of the DEWs/DETs have had the following effects on the Plaintiff over the past 40 years:

a.    They have caused frequently excruciating pain on the surface of the Plaintiff’s skin (sometimes leaving burns) and internal pain,

frequently concentrated at the Plaintiff’s solar plexus due to the concentration of nerves in that location. 

This has been occurring on nearly a daily basis since February 25, 1997. 

The skin surface strikes have occurred over 125,000 times and the internal pain causing strikes have occurred over 10,000 times in the period beginning in 1997.

b.    They have prevented the Plaintiff from thinking clearly and thinking without severe distraction occurring since February 25, 1997.

c.    They have caused the Plaintiff to be arrested more than 20 times and imprisoned for more than 10 years for crimes or offenses he did not commit of his own volition.

d.    They have exerted undue control, interference, and influence upon the Plaintiff and the Plaintiff’s body the whole of the Plaintiff’s life, nonstop since 1966.

14.    The Defendant’s misuse of the DEWs, DETs,

and wall-penetrating surveillance systems on the Plaintiff is very obviously criminal and the Defendant has gone to enormous and criminal lengths to try to keep its activities from the light of public scrutiny,

including torturing/controlling the Plaintiff with DEWs and DETs, committing perjury, and much more. 

The information the Plaintiff is seeking is necessary to confirm the Defendant’s criminal and professional misconduct and the public interest in the information is tremendous. 

See Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility v. United States Secret Service, 72 F.3d 897,

for the test which this court must use in determining if all of the information the Plaintiff is seeking (which is currently being illegally withheld) should be ordered produced by this court.

15.    The FOIA was specifically designed and intended to help the American people root out just this type of government misconduct and to help end it,

and this court should exercise its authority to insure that the criminal misuse of DEWs, DETs,

and wall-penetrating surveillance systems ends now by ordering the release of all of the records, etc.

the Defendant has related to its misuse of the DEWs, DETs,

and wall-penetrating surveillance systems and ruling that no FOIA exemptions or exclusions apply to such tremendously unlawful U.S. Secret Service activities. 

Due to the Plaintiff alleging that the Defendant is misusing the record exclusion provision
