Devin,
Perhaps you
can influence your father in an
effort to give peace a better chance and
further flush out this William Clark and if neither he nor a
single member of the 72,000 New York State Bar Association is forthcoming then just be imaginative.
On the
subject of Justice
let me make you aware of the following
Eliot
Lauer and Jacques Semmelman - The
In
As pro bono counsel for
Jonathan Pollard since 2000, we have comprehensive knowledge of the public
court record in Mr. Pollard's case. Olive's book and op-ed piece are fanciful
concoctions that are utterly incompatible with the U.S. Government's own
carefully-crafted submissions to the court in Mr. Pollard's case.
Jonathan Pollard was
arrested in 1985. The U.S. Government conducted an overwhelmingly thorough
investigation into Mr. Pollard's conduct and character, and into the harm his
conduct had caused. Mr. Pollard pleaded guilty in 1986 to a charge of
conspiracy to deliver classified information to
On March 4, 1987, Mr. Pollard was sentenced to life
in prison. Prior to his sentencing, the U.S. Government-the United States Attorney
and Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger-submitted over 130 pages of
pre-sentencing memoranda to the sentencing judge. Those memoranda set forth in
detail what the U.S. Government claimed it had uncovered about Mr. Pollard's
conduct and character, and about the harm he had caused.
Substantial portions of
the memoranda were designated "classified" and were placed under
seal. No one representing Mr. Pollard, including us-his security-cleared
attorneys-has been permitted to see the classified portions of the docket since
the sentencing in 1987.
In his book, Olive
specifically disclaims ever having seen the classified sentencing materials.
Yet, he makes allegations against Mr. Pollard that appear nowhere in the
unclassified, public portion of the sentencing materials. Since it is fair to
assume that neither Olive nor any of his purported "sources" would
violate U.S. criminal law and disclose classified information, the inevitable
conclusion is that these allegations do not appear anywhere in the Government's
pre-sentencing memoranda.
For example, Olive claims
that Mr. Pollard delivered classified information to
In assessing the
credibility of this allegation, it is important to know that no such
allegation appears anywhere in the public record docket materials. And,
since we have to assume neither Olive nor any of his "sources" would
risk going to prison by disclosing something that appears in the classified
docket materials, it is apparent that this allegation is not found anywhere
in the U.S. Government's voluminous pre-sentencing memoranda. It therefore
has no credibility whatsoever. If the U.S. Government believed this and
other allegations made by Olive, it would have included them in the
pre-sentencing memoranda. The U.S. Government took an extremely aggressive
approach toward Mr. Pollard, and would have relished the opportunity to inform
the sentencing judge that Mr. Pollard had violated the law by delivering
classified information to
The book and op-ed piece
contain numerous accusations that are nowhere to be found in the public
sentencing docket, and that could not be disclosed if they were in the
classified sentencing docket. They are therefore in neither place, and cannot
be considered even remotely reliable.
In his book, Olive
asserts that Mr. Pollard's conduct caused "irreparable damage" and
"incalculable" harm to the
Mr.
Pollard's unauthorized disclosures have threatened the
While we cannot condone
any unauthorized disclosure of classified information, the Government's own
words in the Victim Impact Statement, carefully scripted to present the most
compelling case for the maximum sentence (life in prison), reflect-at
worst-short-term friction between the U.S. and unnamed Arab countries, and
temporary reduction in bargaining leverage by the U.S., rather than permanent,
irreversible, and overwhelming damage to U.S. national security, as claimed by
Olive. Nowhere does Olive see fit even to mention the comparatively modest
damage described in the Victim Impact Statement, which is how the U.S.
Government itself has chosen to describe the harm caused by Mr. Pollard's
conduct, in the court document designed precisely for that purpose.
In sum, while Olive
describes his book as a "true documented story," it is nothing of the
sort. To use Olive's own words, his book is an exercise in "speculation,
rumor, myths and lies."

You
never did reply to this email
I sent you back on November 20th in which I made you aware of The
Diamond Invention which to the best of my knowledge you have failed to mention
in all the literature you have put out, to be very specific the role of Diamond
Currency in the Petro wars.
Not
to mention what impact this failure to disclose has on the hard working and
ignorant peoples of the world who remain ignorant you think, why?
What
else do you have to hide that once fully disclosed may prevent us from going to
war with China,
instead learning very quickly to wean ourselves off big and corrupt governments
who rely on propaganda to give the weak and defenseless youth a false sense of
security that there is open debate in the west?
Be
very precise!
