THE JAILING OF A TRUE CONSERVATIVE
In March 2009, LCDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III (Ret.) filed a criminal complaint of treason with the U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Tennessee against Barack Hussein Obama. Fitzpatrick made the charge after Obama and his chain of command violated the Posse Comitatus Act by ordering U.S. Army troops to deploy into the small town of Samson, AL after a man went on a rampage, killing 12 people. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the U.S. military from performing police actions on American soil, and the Inspector General of the Army later affirmed that the law had been broken by the deployment.
After the U.S. attorney’s office refused to act, Fitzpatrick took the complaint to the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC. Receiving an acknowledgment but no action, it occurred to Fitzpatrick that he should take the complaint to his local grand jury in Monroe County, TN.
The Monroe County grand jury foreman, who had been illegally serving in that position for more than 20 years, obstructed Fitzpatrick’s efforts to present his evidence to the grand jury. As a result of his attempt to filed a complaint of treason against Obama, Fitzpatrick discovered that the grand jury foreman is considered an institution by the judge, compromising the foreman’s objectivity and that of the grand jury.
After seeking the assistance of local, state, and federal law enforcement to remove the grand jury foreman in order to restore a lawfully-functioning grand jury, Fitzpatrick attempted a citizen’s arrest on the foreman on April 1, 2010. Instead, he himself was arrested and jailed, which began a pattern of retaliation which continues to this day.
Fitzpatrick has spent a total of more than six months in the Monroe County jail after uncovering massive corruption within the judiciary, the sheriff’s department, the localpolice, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the local FBI office. While in jail for a second time under trumped up charges, Fitzpatrick’s home was ransacked and most of his possessions were stolen. He has been surviving with a bed, two chairs, a bookcase and a donated coffeemaker since that time. To make matters worse, without any due process, his military pension has been garnished by two-thirds.
On December 7, 2011, Fitzpatrick had been out of jail for four days and attended the selection of the new grand juries for 2012 at the Monroe County courthouse. He reported to the online newspaper The Post & Email (www.thepostemail.com) that the judge, Amy Armstrong Reedy, had hand-picked the jurors after reviewing questionnaires which contained their full names, addresses, and other personal information in violation of TCA 22-2-304. When Fitzpatrick was prohibited from attending the swearing-in of the new jurors, he returned to a downstairs courtroom and picked up from a table a number of handouts available to the public.
Later that afternoon, a Monroe County sheriff’s deputy went to Fitzpatrick’s home allegedly to inform him that some of the documents he had picked up were not intended for public consumption. Fitzpatrick was not home at the time and had no home telephone after his recent 2.5 months in jail. Shortly after Fitzpatrick returned home, an FBI SWAT team and sheriff’s deputies barged in, seized his computer and scanners as well as a significant amount of notes he had taken from his observations of the grand jury selection earlier that day, and arrested him again. Fitzpatrick was jailed on a charge of “tampering with government records” and allegedly under-serving the previous jail term.
The prosecutor in the documents case, Assistant District Attorney General Paul D. Rush, has called Fitzpatrick “criminally insane” and impugned the character of those exposing the endemic corruption in eastern Tennessee.
Fitzpatrick has been surviving with a bed, two chairs, a bookcase and a donated coffeemaker since that time. To make matters worse, shortly after his release from jail in February, he found that without any due process, his military pension had been garnished by two-thirds.
In the spring of this year, Fitzpatrick discovered that he has been depicted as a “Sovereign Citizen” in a Department of Justice/Southern Poverty Law Center production circulated throughout Tennessee and the rest of the country. His photo, and that of Darren Huff, who is now serving a four-year sentence in federal prison following a misplaced FBI police action, is featured in the presentation, placing both men in the same category as Oklahoma City bombing conspirators Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh. Fitzpatrick has described the actions taken against him as “retaliation for standing up against local corruption” and traces it back to the Obama Department of Justice and White House.
