WILL BLACKWOOD "DO THE RIGHT THING?"
by
Sharon Rondeau
(Jul.
31, 2014) - Intelligence analyst, aviation expert and co-host of the Abel Danger radio show Lt. Col. Field
McConnell (Ret.) said on Wednesday that if two "guilty"
verdicts against CDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III (Ret.) from a McMinn
County, TN jury are not vacated by the presiding judge, he will file a wrongful
death lawsuit naming Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, as the defendant,
"to the removal from office of Barry Soetoro."
The
Post & Email's editor appeared as McConnell's guest on Wednesday, as she has
for the last three Wednesdays, to explain the significance to all Americans of
Fitzpatrick's convictions. The podcast for the
most recent show is truncated due to technical difficulties during the first
portion of the interview (second video down).
McConnell
reiterated his plan of action Thursday in an email sent to an individual who had
asked several questions about Fitzpatrick's upcoming sentencing hearing on
August 19, at which time Senior Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood is scheduled to
consider the "enhanced punishment" requested by the prosecutor of the case,
retired full-bird colonel and part-time pastor A. Wayne
Carter.
After
The Post & Email told the listeners of Carter's request for punishment on
Wednesday, McConnell observed, "Maybe he was looking in the mirror when he said
that."
Fitzpatrick
is a decorated, honorably-discharged 24-year Navy veteran who earned numerous
commendations and graduated third in his class at the U.S. Naval Academy in
Annapolis in 1975. On March 18, 2014, he attempted to take evidence of
criminal behavior on the part of judges and other officials to the McMinn County
grand jury. After waiting more than four hours to receive a disposition on
his petition, he was unexpectedly arrested by two sheriff's deputies and charged
with "extortion," "aggravated perjury," "harassment," and "stalking."
Courthouse cameras captured no illegal activity, altercation or "harassment" of
any kind on Fitzpatrick's part.
The
indictment was issued by the grand jury against Fitzpatrick minutes before his
arrest, citing former foreman Jeffrey Cunningham as the accuser and signed by
former Tenth Judicial District chief prosecutor R. Steven Bebb, who Fitzpatrick
had named in several petitions which he attempted to have the grand jury
review.
Judge
Amy Reedy had appointed a new grand jury foreman minutes before Fitzpatrick was
indicted on the four charges and arrested while sitting on a courthouse bench reading
"The
Last Juror" by John Grisham.
In
late 2009, Fitzpatrick discovered that Tennessee grand juries contain a foreman
who is hand-picked by the criminal court judge and serves for years and
sometimes decades. However, Tennessee law makes no special provision for a
judicially-selected grand jury foreman. TCA 22-2-314 states
that "A juror who has completed a jury service term shall not be summoned to
serve another jury service term in any court of this state for a period of
twenty-four (24) months following the last day of such service; however, the
county legislative body of any county, may, by majority vote, extend the
twenty-four-month period."
The
foreman has been called both "a juror" and "not a juror" by Tennessee officials,
depending on the audience.
The
judge selected to preside over Fitzpatrick's case, Jon Kerry Blackwood, should
have recused himself, as he had just denied
Fitzpatrick a restraining order against Cunningham the day before he was
arrested. Blackwood also presided
over Fitzpatrick's December 1, 2010 trial in Monroe County after having told him
that he might deny him his constitutional right to defense
counsel.
In
that case, Blackwood accepted charges stemming from indictments issued by a
grand jury which contained two members serving consecutive terms, in direct
violation of TCA 22-2-314. For years, court personnel and judges have justified
the hand-selection of the grand jury foreman to the local press, which does not
question the government.
Fitzpatrick
has long said that Tennessee judges are running a "dictatorship."
During
sworn testimony, Cunningham stated under questioning by Fitzpatrick's attorney,
Van Irion, that he could not find anything in Fitzpatrick's petitions which was
perjurious. Cunningham also denied having made any formal accusation
against Fitzpatrick, and no police reports or criminal complaints were produced
by the prosecution. At the end of the first day of the trial, Blackwood
agreed to dismiss the charge of "stalking."
On
June 24, Fitzpatrick was convicted of "aggravated perjury" and "extortion" by
the jury, finding him "not guilty" of harassment. Of the six jury members
who The Post & Email has contacted by phone following the reading of the
verdicts, none has spoken with us.
Fitzpatrick's
attorney, Van Irion had contended that Fitzpatrick had
a First
Amendment right to petition his government for a redress of grievances, with
which the jury evidently did not agree. Tennessee law also states that any
citizen may take a petition with evidence to his local grand jury, which must be
notarized and sworn to before submission.
Cunningham
is president
and CEO of Athens Federal Community Bank garnering a reported annual salary of
$634,738. During testimony in Fitzpatrick's trial, Cunningham stated that
he had received a phone call "at home" in late 2011 from Judge Amy Reedy asking
him to be her "next grand jury foreman," to which he agreed. He was
serving his third consecutive term when he resigned on or about March 4 of this
year.
It
is unclear why Cunningham accepted the grand jury foremanship at $10.00/day with
his duties as bank president and a member of the Board of Directors.
Cunningham is a licensed
Tennessee attorney with an expressed interest in "Criminal Law - Prosecution"
and "Criminal Law - Defense."
At
the end of the radio segment, McConnell said that he played a part in the
release of former Marine Brandon
Raub, who was seized without a warrant by the FBI and local police on August
16, 2012 on allegations of mental instability and threat to the community.
On Wednesday's show, McConnell divulged that after Raub was incarcerated, he
contacted John Whitehead, founder of The Rutherford Institute, shortly after
Raub's wrongful arrest and said, "'John, don't think I'm being boastful, but if
you pick up the phone and call the District Court, District of Columbia, and say
that Field McConnell is going to be a witness for Brandon Raub, I think they'll
release him as soon as possible.' John got that email about 8:00 or 9:00
p.m. on Tuesday; he apparently made the phone call on Wednesday. Thursday
morning, first order of business, Brandon Raub was
released."
He
said he believes he can be instrumental in convincing Blackwood to vacate the
verdicts against Fitzpatrick.
Several
weeks ago, McConnell pledged to travel to Athens, TN on August 17 to meet with
Fitzpatrick and accompany him to the courthouse on the 19th for his sentencing
hearing unless the verdicts were vacated before then. On Wednesday, he
reiterated his promise to go to Athens if Blackwood maintains his
stance.
Like
Raub,
Fitzpatrick was ordered to undergo a mental health examination by a judge in
Monroe County after he exposed corruption there beginning in 2009, when he found
that every grand jury foreman is a judicially-appointed court employee who serves
as long as the judge wishes, sometimes for decades. Jurors selected by
"automated means" as mandated by state law are not informed that the foreman is
actually representing the judge's interests.
On
April 1, 2010, Fitzpatrick attempted to carry out a citizen's arrest of
then-Monroe County grand jury foreman Gary Pettway, but Judge Carroll Lee Ross,
who is now pursuing a false
case against William Marvin Young, ordered Fitzpatrick arrested and
jailed. Fitzpatrick has been jailed
a total of six times in Monroe County for standing up to the entrenched judicial
corruption there, and another Navy veteran, Darren
Wesley Huff, is spending his fourth year in federal prison for a crime that
"never happened."
Monroe
County is part of the Tenth Judicial District and uses the same judges as McMinn
County.
In
2012, Fitzpatrick described
the situation he saw in Monroe County as:
When you have judges exercising that kind of power, this is what we've been warned about. John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, William Blackstone. This is what a judicial dictatorship looks like, and they've been practicing this in the military since our military came into existence. It's what happens when you take away the grand jury and then you take away the trial jury. Then they are free to make up any law they want and they can operate their government as they see fit, because if they don't get their way, they're going to have you locked up and thrown away. How do I know that? Well, it happened to me, a whole bunch of times.
Fitzpatrick moved to McMinn County in February 2012 following his release from his sixth incarceration in the Monroe County jail. In December of that year, he observed Judge Amy Armstrong Reedy hand-picking jurors from informational forms which asked for names, addresses, telephone numbers, names of employers and spouses, and the number of children of each prospective juror. Fitzpatrick related that Reedy was not picking the slips of paper out of a box as mandated by law, but rather, with full view of the information. When he noticed that the same papers were left on a table in the lower courtroom with public access, he took them with the intention of presenting them to the FBI as evidence of jury-rigging.
On
April 1, 2011, in regard to Fitzpatrick's in-person reports of judicial
corruption in the district, several special agents from the Knoxville FBI's
Joint Terrorism Task Force told
him to "Live with it!"
McConnell
is a 1971 graduate
of the United States Naval Academy, and acquired training from the U.S. Marine
Corps in aviation, later becoming an instructor. He served with the North
Dakota Air National Guard and flew commercially for Republic Airlines, which was
later purchased by Northwest Airlines. He left military service on
December 7, 1992 because he did not wish to serve under William Jefferson
Clinton, who had been elected president the month before.
Following
McConnell's official biography, he states:
On December 10, 2006, Field McConnell reported the illegal modification on Boeing aircraft to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Northwest Airlines, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), NORAD and the USNA Superintendent. Shortly thereafter, Northwest Airlines, compelled by the United States Department of Justice (USDoJ), silenced Field McConnell, due to his inadvertent reopening of a safety issue closed in the June, 2006 settlement of a $615 million settlement paid by Boeing to the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ).
Field McConnell filed Civil Case 3:07-cv-24 at the District Court, District of North Dakota on the 27th of February, 2007. The case is titled 'FIELD MCCONNELL v. ALPA and BOEING'. Boeing admitted on March 3, 2007 the existence of the Boeing Uninterruptible Autopilot. To date, 9 February, 2012, Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) has suppressed this information.
Field McConnell retired March 13, 2007 to preserve his EXPERT WITNESS VALUE in US District Courts. Civil Case 3:07-cv-49 HAWKS CAFE v. GLOBAL GUARDIANS was filed on May Day, May 1, 2007 in District Court, District of North Dakota.
In
his email response to the questioner on Fitzpatrick's sentencing, McConnell
wrote:
My name is Field McConnell and I expect that Tennessee will address issues with Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood and vacate any improper judgement(s) against Walter Francis Fitzpatrick. If the State of Tennessee and the County of McMinn continue on this corrupt course I will be filing charges in U S District Court, District of North Dakota against Barry Soetoro, Punahou '79 for wrongful death, 2000+ counts, in period 20 January, 2009 to the removal from office of Barry Soetoro. I will not be filing those charges if Walter Francis Fitzpatrick is rightfully exonerated.
I am at a disadvantage as I do not know of you or your position but I am very public and my rightful name is Field McConnell, Punahou '67 and USNA '71. I am no stranger to U S District Courts where my Civil Case 1:08-1600 (RMC) was dismissed without prejudice and was instrumental in freeing Brandon Raub from wrongful incarceration in Virginia. If you google this combo: [ brandon raub + field mcconnell + rutherford ] you will see that 36 hours after I contacted John Whitehead of Rutherford, Brandon was released. I believe when I share this information with the supervisors of Jon Kerry Blackwood they will "blink" and do the right thing.
Please inform me by 17 August, 2014, that McMinn County and the State of Tennessee are doing the right thing ( according to law ) and vacating charges against Walter Francis Fitzpatrick. If they fail to treat Walter in a just manner I will be standing beside him as he is taken into wrongful detention and at that moment the charges against Barry Soetoro will be filed ( by proxy ) at the U S District Court, District of North Dakota, Fargo.
For the record, I have never met Walter, his counsel, or his advocate but I have common history with Walter in 4 years at Annapolis and 43 years of upholding my 4 oaths since 9 June, 1971. I will share the easy 3 oaths: USN 28 June 67, USMC 9 June 71, USAF 5 July 77. I took another oath vastly more powerful than the easy 3.

Irion
has represented Fitzpatrick since 2012 in challenging the legitimacy of
Tennessee grand juries and in the most recent case in McMinn County.
Regarding the inexplicable verdicts and condemnation of Fitzpatrick's attempt to
petition the grand jury to report crime, Irion told Dr. Laurie Roth of The
Roth Show, "I'm now afraid to go to
the grand jury."
Dr.
James David Manning of The Manning Report has also covered
Fitzpatrick's encounters with the corrupt Tennessee judiciary and is attempting
to raise awareness of the current case with Overpassesforamerica.com and other
organizations.
