Definition of Authoritarianism
Authoritarianism is a social system based on submission to
authority. Authoritarian governments typically concentrate all power in a
leader or leaders, with no accountability or limits on power. Leadership is
usually self-appointed, without input from the population or elections.
Authoritarian rule is often characterized by repressive regimes, the exclusion
of any political challengers, rigged elections, and the unregulated and
unaccountable use of power. There are no guarantees of civil liberties or
tolerance for political opposition. Its most extreme form is totalitarianism,
in which the government maintains authority over all aspects of public and
private life. Authoritarianism is at odds with democracy and individualism. The
change of authoritarian rule to democracy is referred to as democratization.
I recently received
this email from a concerned Compadre.
Dear Larry: rampant
Check this KEYT- NEWS

“Santa
Maria Perjury ArrestWritten by Mabrisa Rodriguez
Story Created: Dec 28, 2012 at 10:25 PM PS A woman called to take the stand in the
recent trial of a Santa Maria
gang member is behind bars for perjury. Diana Perez Escobedo was called to the
stand as a defense witness last month, and testified on behalf of Jesus
Quevedo. Santa Maria
police officials say Escobedo intentionally made false statements during her
testimony. Escobedo was booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail Thursday on $25,000 bail.”
“ Buenos
dias Larry. (the email that I am responding too.)
Espero que todo los blessings for 2013 come your way and
may your health be your wealth with strong prays and good medicine. You shall
be stronger and healthier for 2013 and beyond....
So the issue is how the DA's crooked office is illegally forcing
witnesses to testify against Raza. If they do not go with the D.A.’s wishes of
legal prosecutorial theme, than defendant's witnesses are being threatened in North County
too. So ill-will testify or else if you do not go with the DA's program than
you are going to jail too? What the hell is going on? Pretty legally insane to
give authoritarian rule and gripe
for needing a new north jail in the county? If you get more information this
would be a good story from the CCC website. In service and let me know what you
think?”
Your Compadre
(Most of my reply that follows can be found on a story I published
on my blog last August I did modify it slightly but here is my response.)
Dear Friend you are absolutely
right with your concerns with the Santa Maria Police Department and District
Attorneys Office and the lengths they are willing to go in order to obtain an
illegal and UN Constitutional conviction. Last year it was brought to my attention from
one of my blog readers that the Santa Maria police with the permission of the Santa
Barbara D.A.’s office had created a new instrument to help them charge suspects
who otherwise could have never been charged, this instrument is called a “Ruse
Affidavit”. It is absolutely unbelievable to me that so many people whose sworn
duty it is to up hold the Constitution have failed miserably on so many levels.
Read what the media has said about the heavy handed tactics used in the north
county.
“Law enforcement cannot violate the
law to enforce the law,” Santa Maria Superior Court Judge Kuns said in her
opening statement for one case that includes a “Ruse Affidavit.” In a different case Santa Maria Superior Court Judge Kuns Rules
Police Misconduct in Robbery Case, the use of “Ruse Affidavit” is basis for
Misconduct!
Even the two Santa Maria
Superior Court Judges who have dealt with the use of a “Ruse Affidavit’ in
their court rooms understands this practice is illegal. Yet they still allow its
use in the cases that were before them. So just as I have done earlier please
read these two news press articles about the use of “Ruse Affidavits in the
Santa Maria Superior Criminal Court System.@ http://www.santamariasun.com/cover/75... Or
@ http://m.santamariatimes.com/news/loc...
@ http://m.santamariatimes.com/news/loc...
Then the actual “Ruse
Affidavit’ files referenced in the media articles above can be found at this
link. @http://magicinsantabarbara.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/eliz-docs-ruse-warrant.pdf
First let’s all look at
the Definition of an AFFIDAVIT: A sworn statement in writing made
especially under oath or on affirmation before an authorized magistrate or
officer that the information before him is true and verifiable.
Here is my attempt to define the term ‘Ruse Affidavit’ based
on how it is being used by the Santa Maria Police Department with the
permission of the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s office; Definition of RUSE AFFIDAVIT: obtaining a judicial signature with a fabricated sworn statement
included as part of the affidavit. The only purpose of this act is to induce
statements from a suspect whom they lack evidence for, by presenting these
known false statements and or facts as true. The fabricated Ruse Affidavit must then also be illegally removed from the court files once
the suspect is charged so that there is no proof of the arresting officer’s
Constitutional violation against the now charged defendant.
As all of us know it is hard to be surprised any more in
regards to judicial corruption based on our own personal experiences. But as we
also know it is even harder to find a federal agency willing to perform their
duty to the letter of the law. Now because the Los Angeles County Office of Review
already has attorney Michael Gennaco
in Santa Maria
heading their investigation of the fatal shooting of Officer Covarrubias. I
think we the Facebook followers of Lawless America can add the “Ruse Affidavit
situation to his plate and demand a finding. Over the last month I have called
Mr. Gennaco's office and left two messages sharing my concern with the” Ruse
Affidavits" used by the Santa Maria Police department, to date he has not
returned my calls. I also emailed his office the letter below.
What I am thinking is
that if one of us can create a generic phone statement asking why he has not
addressed my concerns with the “Ruse Affidavit’ situation in Santa Maria .
And as individuals all call in we may force his hand in the matter. Now should
he not respond before the documentary team arrives in California ,
then it would be up to William Windsor and the film crew to visit him on
camera. I really think this could be quite a victory for lawless America ,
and I hope you do too. The phone number for the Los Angeles County Office of
Review is 1-323-890-5425, the attorney you want to speak with is Michael
Gennaco!!

Review For Los Angeles County; The use of "Ruse Affidavits" (Santa Maria )

Good morning Mr.
Gennaco,
My name is Larry Mendoza
and I left you a phone message this morning. As promised I am forwarding to you
a file from the Santa Maria police department that
includes some discussion about the use of a "Ruse Affidavit" as part
of their investigation. Best as I can tell Mr. Gennaco the term was coined by
the D.A. and Santa Maria Police. Here is my attempt to define the term 'Ruse
affidavit' based on how it is being used by the Santa Maria Police with the
permission of the Santa Barbara District Attorney's office; Definition of RUSE
AFFIDAVIT: obtaining a judicial signature with a fabricated sworn statement
included as part of the affidavit. The only purpose of this act is to induce
statements from a suspect whom they lack evidence for, by presenting these
known false statements and or facts as true. The fabricated Ruse Affidavit must
then be illegally removed from the court files once the suspect is charged so
that there is no proof of the arresting officer's Constitutional violation
against the now charged defendant.
Mr. Gennaco I write a
blog called www.santabarbaracriminalcourtcorruptionblogspot.com I think the
title says it all. I first became aware of the "Ruse Affidavit" when
the defendants girlfriend contacted me and later forwarded me the same files I
have just sent you. I feared that this situation could become dangerous for
myself and said so in my posting. I decided that this abuse required me to at
the very least make the same files available to the public and hung them on my
blog. A few weeks later I was contacted by a reporter from Santa
Maria who
found the files on line. We talked for about an hour and a half and he
published a story ten days later. I have included two links to news press
story's talking about what was happening with the two cases that included
"Ruse Affidavits' as part of their file.

Mr. Gennaco I am not
trying to insult you but I am wondering if you have read Santa Barbara District
Attorney Joyce Dudley's report on the officer involved shooting death of Mr.
Covarrubias that originally brought you to Santa Maria ?
I hope you take the time to compare the D.A.’s account of how many rounds were
fired and by whom against all the previous media reports. There is a huge
discrepancy here and I wrote about it on my blog, I have included a link below
to that story for your review.
In closing I hope we can
have a phone conversation if you feel it could be valuable to your review. I
learned a new phrase yesterday that seems to apply in far too many situations
here in Santa Barbara
County ' Under
the Color of the law'. I am not a very well educated person but some things
seem to be spelling out all by themselves.
Best Regards
Larry Mendoza
