Today I submitted two formal proposals to change the rules that govern federal court practice. One goes to the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules, which oversees the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The other goes directly to the Supreme Court of the United States, which sets its own rules.

The problem is simple: the federal courts are stuck in 1985.

Consider what is now electronic by default in American life:

•        Tax filing -- the IRS not only permits but encourages electronic filing

•        Banking -- virtually all transactions are electronic

•        Government benefits -- Social Security, Medicare, unemployment all administered electronically

•        Education -- college courses are routinely conducted remotely

•        Medical consultations -- telemedicine is now standard practice

•        Corporate governance -- shareholder meetings and board meetings conducted by video

•        Real estate closings -- increasingly electronic, including notarization

•        Congressional hearings -- witnesses regularly testify remotely

Yet the federal courts -- the institution charged with protecting constitutional rights -- cling to procedures from a previous era. The Supreme Court of the United States, which decides cases involving the most sophisticated technology companies in the world, will not let a pro se litigant file a PDF.

I wrote about this problem before, when Tommy had his emergency application mooted because the Court took five days to docket a hand-delivered filing (even though he emailed it to the clerk in addition): SCOTUS's Gatekeeping: How a 5-Day Delay Mooted Justice.

The Two Proposals

First, I submitted a Suggestion for Rulemaking to the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules proposing:

•        A new FRCP Rule 43.1 establishing a presumptive right to remote appearance for non-evidentiary proceedings -- no justification required, no motion needed, just notice

•        An amendment to FRCP Rule 5 requiring all district courts to provide electronic filing access to pro se litigants

The COVID-19 pandemic proved that remote proceedings work. The federal judiciary spent millions of dollars building the infrastructure. Every federal courthouse in America now has the capability to conduct remote hearings. That investment was made with public money. Yet courts let it sit idle while continuing to require physical presence -- which burdens only those who cannot afford to travel.

Second, I submitted a letter to the Clerk of the Supreme Court proposing:

•        An amendment to Supreme Court Rule 29 to permit pro se litigants to file electronically

•        An amendment to Supreme Court Rule 33 to eliminate the booklet format requirement entirely

The booklet requirement -- 6⅛ by 9¼ inch paper, 60-pound weight, saddle stitch binding, color-coded covers, 40 copies -- costs approximately $3,000 for professional printing. According to Federal Reserve data, 37% of Americans cannot cover a $400 emergency expense. A $3,000 printing requirement is not a minor inconvenience -- it is an effective bar to participation. I wrote about this pricing-out problem in more detail here: The SCOTUS Psyop: Pricing Out Ordinary Americans.

And an electronic document is superior to a bound booklet in every functional respect. It can be searched instantly, copied, compared across multiple documents. The Court demands that litigants spend $3,000 to produce a product that is functionally worse than what the electronic filing system provides for free.

Why This Matters

Access to the courts is a fundamental right. The Supreme Court recognized long ago that "the right to sue and defend in the courts is the alternative of force. In an organized society it is the right conservative of all other rights, and lies at the foundation of orderly government." Chambers v. Baltimore & Ohio R.R. Co., 207 U.S. 142, 148 (1907).

Rules that systematically exclude litigants based on geography, wealth, or representational status betray that promise. The technology to remedy these inequities exists. The infrastructure has been built and paid for. The only remaining obstacle is institutional inertia.

These proposals would not revolutionize federal practice. They would merely extend to all litigants the access that wealthy, represented parties already enjoy.

The Documents

Here are the actual submissions. You can view them embedded in the blog post below, or download them from the links.

Suggestion for Rulemaking to the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules (FRCP Amendments):

Proposed Amendments to Supreme Court Rules 29 and 33:

What Comes Next

The Advisory Committee will assign a suggestion number to the FRCP proposal and forward it to their reporter for analysis. If the Committee decides to pursue it, they may publish proposed amendments for public comment. That process takes years.

The Supreme Court has no formal process for rule suggestions. The Court receives letters, considers them internally, and acts or does not act as it sees fit. There is no public comment period, no advisory committee, no transparency.

But change has to start somewhere. The FRCP proposal becomes part of the Advisory Committee's public docket. The SCOTUS proposal has no guaranteed public record -- which is why I am publishing both here. If you believe the federal courts should join the 21st century, share this post. Write to the Advisory Committee yourself. Contact your representatives. We need to demand that these unjust rules be changed.

The Real Sodomites - What the Prophet Ezekiel Actually Said About Sodom's Sin

Right now, somewhere in America, a "Christian" is saying "God hates fags."

Right now, a prosperity preacher is stepping off his private jet while his followers scrape together their last dollars to send him a "seed offering."

Right now, a mega-church is spending millions on a building expansion while homeless people sleep outside its doors.

Right now, the Vatican sits on billions in wealth, art, and real estate -- immune from prosecution in its own sovereign nation -- while claiming to represent a Messiah who had nowhere to lay His head.

These are the real Sodomites.

Not according to me. According to the prophet.

Ἰεζεκιήλ (Iezekiel -- Ezekiel) was a prophet of Θεός (Theos). He spoke for the Most High. And he told us exactly what Sodom's sin was. The answer has been in Scripture the whole time -- but religious institutions buried it because it condemned them.

The Text: Ezekiel 16:49-50

Here is what the prophet said:

"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good."

That's the list. From the mouth of a prophet. Let's break it down.

Sin #1: Pride

The Greek LXX uses ὑπερηφανία (hyperephania) -- arrogance, haughtiness, the kind of pride that looks down on others.

This is the same word used in Mark 7:22 when Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) lists the evils that come from within a person's heart. It's the opposite of ταπεινοφροσύνη (tapeinophrosyne -- humility).

Sin #2: Fullness of Bread

The LXX uses πλησμονὴ ἄρτων (plēsmonē artōn) -- satiation of bread, excess of food, gluttony.

Sodom had more than enough. They feasted while others starved.

Sin #3: Prosperous Ease

The LXX uses εὐθηνία (euthēnia) -- prosperity, abundance -- combined with ἐσπατάλων (espatalōn) -- they lived extravagantly, in careless ease.

Sodom was comfortable. They had everything they needed. And they stopped caring about anyone else.

Sin #4: Did Not Strengthen the Hand of the Poor and Needy

This is the climax of the list. After pride, gluttony, and comfortable indifference comes the verdict: they did not help those in need.

The LXX reads: χεῖρα πτωχοῦ καὶ πένητος οὐκ ἀντελαμβάνοντο (cheira ptōchou kai penētos ouk antelambanonto) -- "the hand of the poor and needy they did not assist."

The word ἀντελαμβάνοντο (antelambanonto) means to take hold of, to assist, to support. Sodom refused to take hold of the poor and lift them up.

Ἰάκωβος (Iakobos -- James) 2:15-16 says: "If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?"

And the "Abomination"?

Verse 50 says they "committed abomination." The LXX uses ἀνομήματα (anomēmata) -- violations of the law, lawless acts.

But look at the context. The prophet just listed four specific sins: pride, gluttony, careless ease, and neglecting the poor. THEN he says "and committed lawless acts."

The word βδέλυγμα (bdelygma -- abomination) is used throughout the LXX for many things:

Idolatry (Deuteronomy 7:25): βδέλυγμα κυρίω τω θεώ σου εστί -- "it is an abomination to the lord your God"

Dishonest business practices (Deuteronomy 25:16): βδέλυγμα κυρίω τω θεώ σου πας ποιών ταύτα -- "it is an abomination to the lord your God, every one doing these things"

Pride itself (Proverbs 16:5): ἀκάθαρτος παρά θεώ πας υψηλοκάρδιος -- "every proud heart is unclean with God"

Injustice (Proverbs 17:15): ἀκάθαρτος καὶ βδελυκτός παρά θεώ -- "unclean and abominable before God"

If the prophet meant homosexuality, why didn't he say so? He just gave a detailed list of specific sins. He named pride. He named gluttony. He named neglecting the poor. If homosexuality was THE sin, why is it absent from the list?

The "lawless acts" (ἀνομήματα) in context is the culmination of what was just listed -- a society so proud, so glutted, so comfortable, and so indifferent to suffering that their very existence became an offense to Θεός (Theos).

So Who Are the Real Sodomites?

According to the prophet Ἰεζεκιήλ (Iezekiel), the sins of Sodom are:

ὑπερηφανία (hyperephania) -- Pride

πλησμονὴ ἄρτων (plēsmonē artōn) -- Gluttony / Excess

εὐθηνία / ἐσπατάλων (euthēnia / espatalōn) -- Prosperous ease / Comfortable indifference

οὐκ ἀντελαμβάνοντο (ouk antelambanonto) -- Refusal to help the poor and needy

Who fits this description today? Look around.

Anti-Gay "Christians" Who Block χάρις (Grace)

Perhaps the most ironic group of all: those who use the word "sodomite" as a weapon while embodying the actual sins of Sodom.

They single out homosexuality as uniquely unforgivable -- as if it exists in a special category beyond the reach of χάρις (charis -- grace). They stand on street corners with signs declaring "God hates fags." They tell hurting people they are beyond salvation. They drive people away from Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) instead of toward Him.

Is homosexual practice a sin? Scripture indicates it is -- but so is lying, greed, gossip, pride, gluttony, and neglecting the poor. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of Θεός (Theos) (Romans 3:23). There is no ranking system where one sin is uniquely beyond χάρις.

The same Παῦλος (Paulos -- Paul) who mentioned ἀρσενοκοῖται (arsenokoitai) in 1 Corinthians 6:9 also listed the covetous, drunkards, and revilers in the same sentence. And then he said: "καὶ ταῦτά τινες ἦτε" -- "and such were SOME OF YOU."

Some of the Corinthian believers were former homosexuals. Were. Past tense. Washed. Sanctified. Justified. The door of χάρις was open to them.

These anti-gay "Christians" block that message. They slam the door shut. They make Christianity look like hatred instead of hope. They embody ὑπερηφανία (hyperephania -- pride) -- the FIRST sin listed by the prophet -- in their self-righteous condemnation of others.

They are so busy pointing at one sin that they ignore their own: the pride, the comfortable indifference, the refusal to actually help anyone. They would rather hold a sign than hold out a hand.

Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) ate with tax collectors and sinners (Matthew 9:10-11). The Pharisees grumbled about it. If Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) were walking the earth today, He would eat with homosexuals too. He would sit with them, talk with them, offer them living water. He would not stand outside with a sign telling them they are beyond hope.

Who do these sign-holding "Christians" more closely resemble -- Ἰησοῦς or the Pharisees?

According to the prophet's definition, they ARE the Sodomites. They condemn the word while living the reality.

The Vatican

The institution that claims supreme spiritual authority over all Christians -- ὑπερηφανία (pride).

The institution that hoards billions in wealth, art, real estate, and gold -- πλησμονὴ ἄρτων (fullness of bread).

The institution that exists as its own sovereign nation, immune from prosecution, that covered up child abuse for decades -- εὐθηνία (prosperous ease).

The institution that could end poverty in entire regions but instead builds monuments to itself -- οὐκ ἀντελαμβάνοντο (refusing to strengthen the hand of the poor).

The Vatican's wealth is estimated in the tens of billions of dollars. They own property in nearly every country on earth. They have their own bank. Meanwhile, Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) said: "Sell your possessions and give to the poor" (Luke 12:33).

Prosperity Gospel Preachers

The televangelists with private jets, mansions, and fleets of luxury cars -- while their followers send in their last dollars hoping for a "blessing."

They preach that wealth is a sign of Θεός's favor -- ὑπερηφανία (pride). They live in excess -- πλησμονὴ ἄρτων (fullness of bread). They are comfortable while their donors struggle -- εὐθηνία (prosperous ease). They take from the poor instead of giving to them -- οὐκ ἀντελαμβάνοντο (refusing to strengthen the hand of the needy).

Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Θεός (Matthew 19:24). These preachers say the opposite.

Mega-Church Empires

Multi-million dollar campuses with coffee shops, bookstores, and concert-quality sound systems -- while homeless people sleep outside their doors.

Pastors who are celebrities, not servants. Buildings designed to impress, not to serve. Budgets spent on marketing and "experiences" while the community around them deteriorates.

The early ἐκκλησία (ekklesia -- church) in Acts 2:44-45 "had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need." Compare that to today's mega-church model.

Billionaires and Corporations

Individuals with more wealth than entire nations -- while their workers need food stamps to survive.

Corporations that post record profits while laying off thousands. CEOs who make 1000 times what their average worker earns. Stock buybacks instead of living wages.

They have πλησμονὴ ἄρτων (fullness of bread). They have εὐθηνία (prosperous ease). And they fight tooth and nail against anything that would strengthen the hand of the poor -- higher wages, healthcare, housing.

Ἰάκωβος (Iakobos -- James) 5:1-5 warns: "Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you... Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence."

Governments That Neglect Their People

Nations that spend trillions on military budgets while their citizens lack healthcare, housing, and food.

Politicians who serve the wealthy while cutting programs for the poor. Systems designed to protect the comfortable while grinding down the vulnerable.

Proverbs 31:8-9 says: "Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy." How many governments do the opposite?

Comfortable Churches of Every Denomination

This is not just a Catholic problem. This is not just a prosperity gospel problem.

Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelical, Mainline -- any church that sits in comfort while their community suffers fits the description. Any congregation that spends more on building maintenance than on helping the poor. Any ministry that prioritizes its own preservation over serving others.

The Laodicean church in Ἀποκάλυψις (Apokalypsis -- Revelation) 3:17 said: "I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing." But Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) said they were "wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked."

How many churches today are Laodicea?

And What About Ourselves?

Before we point fingers, we must examine ourselves.

Do we have pride? Do we live in excess while others lack? Are we comfortable and indifferent to suffering? Do we refuse to help those in need when we have the ability to do so?

The sins of Sodom are not just institutional. They can live in any human heart. The prophet's warning applies to individuals as much as to nations and organizations.

1 John 3:17 asks: "But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does Θεός's love abide in him?"

The Irony

The same institutions and people that condemned "sodomites" for centuries -- burning people alive, destroying lives, blocking χάρις (charis -- grace) from those who needed it -- are often the ones that most perfectly embody the actual sins of Sodom as listed by the prophet.

They pointed the finger outward while living the sin themselves.

Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) warned about this in Matthew 7:3-5: "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?"

What About Homosexuality?

Is homosexuality a sin? That's a separate question from "what was Sodom's sin?"

Scripture indicates homosexual practice is a sin -- but it is not a special category of sin. It is not uniquely unforgivable. It is not beyond the reach of χάρις (charis -- grace).

Παῦλος (Paulos -- Paul) in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 lists various sinners -- including ἀρσενοκοῖται (arsenokoitai) -- and then says: "καὶ ταῦτά τινες ἦτε" -- "and such were some of you."

Were. Past tense. They were washed. They were sanctified. They were justified.

There is no category of sinner beyond χάρις (charis -- grace) through μετάνοια (metanoia -- repentance).

Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) ate with tax collectors and sinners. He would eat with homosexuals today. He would offer them the same living water He offered the Samaritan woman at the well -- a woman who had five husbands and was living with a man who wasn't her husband (John 4:18). He didn't stand outside her town with a sign. He sat down and talked with her.

The institutions and "Christians" that blocked χάρις from people by misrepresenting Sodom's sin -- while embodying those actual sins themselves -- have a lot to answer for.

Come Out of Her

Ἀποκάλυψις (Apokalypsis -- Revelation) 18:4-5:

"Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and Θεός (Theos) has remembered her iniquities."

The prophet told us what Sodom's sin was. The answer has been in γραφή (graphe -- Scripture) the whole time.

ὑπερηφανία -- Pride. πλησμονὴ ἄρτων -- Gluttony. εὐθηνία -- Comfortable indifference. οὐκ ἀντελαμβάνοντο -- Refusing to help the poor.

Look around. The real Sodomites aren't hard to find.

And the call is not just to point fingers -- it's to examine ourselves, repent of our own Sodomite tendencies, and actually strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

How Byzantine Emperor Justinian and the Vatican Invented the Term "Sodomy"

The Word Didn't Mean What You Think Until 538 AD

By Thomas Richards with Editing and Research by Lisa Weingarten Richards, Assisted by Artificial Intelligence | OvertPsyops.ai | SpirituallySmart.com

The word "sodomite" didn't mean "homosexual" until Emperor Justinian INVENTED that definition in 538 AD.

That's not opinion. That's documented history. And that same emperor controlled the papacy and his laws became the foundation of Catholic canon law.

This is what happens when you trace words back to their sources instead of trusting religious institutions that claim to speak for Χριστός (Christos).

What "Sodomite" Actually Meant in the Greek Scriptures

In the Septuagint (LXX) -- the Greek Old Testament that Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) and the apostles quoted -- Genesis 19:4 uses the word Σοδομῖται (Sodomitai).

This is simply a demonym -- a word for where someone is from. Just like Ἀθηναῖοι (Athenaioi) means "Athenians" and Κορίνθιοι (Korinthioi) means "Corinthians," the word Σοδομῖται just means "inhabitants of Sodom."

No sexual meaning. Just a location identifier.

The KJV Mistranslation: Two Different Hebrew Words

The King James Version (1611) translated a completely different Hebrew word as "sodomite" in Deuteronomy 23:17, 1 Kings 14:24, 15:12, 22:46, and 2 Kings 23:7.

That word is קָדֵשׁ (qadesh). It comes from the root קָדַשׁ (qadash) meaning "to consecrate, sanctify, set apart." A qadesh was a temple prostitute -- someone consecrated to idolatrous Canaanite fertility cults.

It has ZERO etymological connection to the city of Sodom.

Modern translations have corrected this error:

ESV, NASB, HCSB: "cult prostitute"

NIV: "shrine prostitute"

NLT: "temple prostitute"

The KJV got it wrong. But why did the translators make this error? Because by 1611, the English word "sodomy" already meant homosexuality -- thanks to centuries of Catholic legal tradition.

Enter Emperor Justinian: The Man Who Invented the Definition

In 538 AD, Byzantine Emperor Justinian I issued Novella 77 as part of his Corpus Iuris Civilis (Body of Civil Law).

This was the FIRST legal document in history to explicitly declare that Sodom's sin was specifically same-sex acts.

Why did Justinian do this? Earthquakes. Literal earthquakes.

Constantinople was hit in 525 AD. Antioch in 526 AD. Extreme weather events occurred in 535-536 AD. Justinian needed a scapegoat for natural disasters. Homosexuals became that scapegoat.

Novella 77 explicitly states: "For as crimes of this description cause famine, earthquake, and pestilence..."

This wasn't theology. It was politics.

The Vatican Connection: How Justinian's Law Became Church Doctrine

Here is where it gets critical for understanding Catholic corruption:

1. Justinian Controlled the Papacy

The period from 537-752 AD is called the "Byzantine Papacy" -- when popes required the approval of the Byzantine Emperor. Justinian appointed three popes and forced Pope Silverius to abdicate so he could install his own man, Pope Vigilius.

2. Justinian's Code Became Catholic Canon Law

The Latin phrase "ecclesia vivit lege romana" -- "the church lives by Roman law" -- describes exactly what happened. The provisions of Justinian's Corpus Iuris Civilis became the foundation of Catholic canon law.

3. The Pragmatic Sanction (554 AD)

Justinian's Pragmatic Sanction restored all lands to Vatican control and returned to the pope all rights, powers, and privileges. For the first time, the Roman Catholic Church was ruling over the state.

4. Gratian's Decretum (c. 1140 AD)

When Justinian's code was rediscovered around 1070 AD, a monk named Gratian used it to create the Decretum Gratiani -- the foundational document of Catholic canon law. Justinian's earthquake-scapegoat legislation became CHURCH DOCTRINE.

5. A Note on Justinian and the "Holy Roman Empire"

Justinian was not a "Holy Roman Emperor" -- that title came later. Justinian was the Byzantine Emperor (also called Eastern Roman Emperor), ruling from Constantinople from 527-565 AD. The "Holy Roman Empire" was founded centuries later, traditionally dated to 800 AD when Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne, or more formally to 962 AD under Otto I. These were different empires in different places speaking different languages.

But here is the connection: when Justinian's Corpus Iuris Civilis was rediscovered around 1070 AD, it became the legal foundation for BOTH Catholic canon law AND civil law throughout the Holy Roman Empire. So while Justinian was not a Holy Roman Emperor, his laws -- including his 538 AD earthquake-scapegoat legislation on "sodomy" -- shaped that later empire through the Catholic Church.

The chain is direct: Byzantine Emperor creates law → Vatican preserves and institutionalizes it → Holy Roman Empire enforces it → Protestant Reformers inherit the tradition → KJV translators follow it in 1611.

One emperor's political scapegoating in 538 AD echoed through 1,500 years of Western civilization.

6. Benedictus Levita's Forgeries (c. 850 AD)

A monk using the fake name "Benedictus Levita" created forged documents (the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals) that embedded Justinian's interpretation into Western church law. These are well-documented fakes -- and they're part of the foundation of Catholic teaching on "sodomy."

Meanwhile, What Does the Actual Prophet Say?

Ἰεζεκιήλ (Iezekiel -- Ezekiel) 16:49-50 lists Sodom's actual sins:

"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy."

NO mention of homosexuality. Pride. Gluttony. Prosperity. Neglect of the poor. That's the list.

If homosexuality was THE sin, this prophetic silence is inexplicable.

Three Layers of Manipulation

What we're documenting is three layers of manipulation:

Layer 1 -- The Genesis 19 Mob Scene: Questionable narrative that fails multiple verification criteria (we cover this in detail in the book chapter).

Layer 2 -- Justinian's Legal Innovation (538 AD): First explicit legal declaration that Sodom's sin was specifically homosexuality -- invented for political purposes during natural disasters by an emperor who controlled the pope.

Layer 3 -- The KJV Mistranslation (1611): Translating the unrelated word קָדֵשׁ (qadesh -- "temple prostitute") as "sodomite" -- because by then, centuries of Catholic legal tradition had already defined the word.

The Result

A word that started as a simple geographical identifier ("people from Sodom") was transformed over 1,500 years into a theological category for condemnation -- blocking χάρις (charis -- grace) from those who need it.

This wasn't derived from γραφή (graphe -- Scripture). It was imperial legislation created by an emperor who controlled the papacy, embedded by forged documents, and institutionalized in Catholic canon law.

The church that claims to represent Χριστός (Christos) built its doctrine on an emperor's scapegoating -- not on Scripture.

Meanwhile, authentic Παῦλος (Paulos -- Paul) in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 explicitly includes former homosexuals among the saved: "καὶ ταῦτά τινες ἦτε" -- "and such were some of you." They were washed, sanctified, justified.

There is no category of sinner beyond χάρις (charis -- grace) through μετάνοια (metanoia -- repentance).

As Ἀποκάλυψις (Apokalypsis -- Revelation) 18:4 warns: "Ἐξέλθατε ὁ λαός μου ἐξ αὐτῆς" -- "Come out of her, my people."

"Affluenza" -- a made-up condition claiming his wealthy upbringing left him unable to understand consequences. The judge gave him 10 years probation. No prison time for four deaths.

 

That same year, Kalief Browder was a 16-year-old from the Bronx accused of stealing a backpack. His bail was set at $3,000. His family could not afford it. So Kalief went to Rikers Island, where he spent three years -- including two years in solitary confinement -- without ever being convicted of anything. Prosecutors eventually dropped all charges. Two years after his release, traumatized beyond repair, Kalief hanged himself. He was 22.

 

Four deaths, probation. Accused of stealing a backpack, three years in solitary. The difference? Money.

The Numbers

This is not about isolated cases. This is systemic.

 

Nearly half of all people in American jails have individual incomes below $10,000 per year.

Over 70% of people in local jails are being held pretrial -- meaning they have not been convicted of anything. They are legally presumed innocent. Most are there because they cannot afford bail.

The median bail for a felony case is $10,000. The median annual income for someone in pretrial detention is $15,109. Nearly 40% of Americans cannot afford a $400 emergency expense.

People detained pretrial are four times more likely to be sentenced to prison than those released before trial. They are more likely to plead guilty just to get out, even if innocent.

Traffic Tickets to Prison

In Macomb County, Michigan, David Stojcevski was arrested because he could not pay a $772 traffic ticket for careless driving. He was ordered to spend 30 days in jail. He died on the 17th day after experiencing seizures and convulsions due to drug withdrawal.

In El Paso, Texas, Levi Lane was pulled over for driving eight miles over the speed limit. Police arrested him for unpaid traffic tickets -- five of them totaling $3,400. Unable to pay on an $8-an-hour job, the judge locked him up for 21 days. The judge never asked about his ability to pay. "I'm not required by law to ask anything," the judge stated.

Edward Brown, 62 and homeless, lives on a $488 Social Security check and food stamps. He was ticketed for having an overgrown lawn (he was bedridden with a back injury and unable to push a lawnmower) and for not getting a rabies vaccine for his dog. Total fines: $464. Since 2009, he has been jailed multiple times -- once for 30 days, another time for 20 days -- for not paying.

41 states will revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a driver's license due to unpaid fines and fees. So you cannot pay the fine, you lose your license, you drive anyway because you need to get to work, you get pulled over, you get another ticket, you still cannot pay, you go to jail.

Fees for Everything

The system charges you at every step:

 

In 44 states, defendants can be billed for a public defender -- the lawyer you are constitutionally guaranteed if you cannot afford one.

 

In 41 states, inmates are charged "room and board" for their jail and prison stays.

 

In 44 states, offenders can be billed for their own probation and parole supervision.

 

In all states except Hawaii and D.C., there are fees for the electronic monitoring devices defendants are ordered to wear.

On average, people leaving prison owe $13,607 in fines and fees.

In Alabama alone, an estimated 1,000 people go to jail every month because they cannot afford to pay a fine.

You Get What You Pay For

80% of people involved with the criminal legal system are legally indigent -- meaning they cannot afford the necessities of life, let alone a lawyer.

 

Source: https://www.americanprogress.org/article/profit-over-people-primer-on-u-s-cash-bail-systems/

 

A competent criminal defense lawyer can cost $25,000 or more upfront. Public defender offices are plagued by unmanageable caseloads, high turnover, and some of the lowest pay in the profession. In some states, caps on pay mean lawyers defending poor clients can earn less than minimum wage if they provide a decent defense.

 

Source: https://ejusa.org/resource/poverty-and-poor-legal-defense/

 

A study of Philadelphia found that representation by a public defender reduced the likelihood of a guilty charge by 19% and reduced expected prison terms by 24% -- but that is compared to court-appointed private attorneys, not high-paid defense teams. The wealthy can hire specialists, investigators, expert witnesses. The poor get whatever the overworked system provides.

Debtors' Prisons Were Supposed to Be Illegal

In 1983, the Supreme Court ruled in Bearden v. Georgia that it is unconstitutional to incarcerate people solely for their inability to pay fines. Courts are supposed to first determine whether the failure to pay was "willful."

 

In reality, judges rarely check a person's economic status. A 2018 study from Philadelphia found that judges did not assess the defendant's ability to pay their cash bail in two-thirds of cases.

The Point

A man in Atlanta was jailed for more than two months because he could not pay $200 bail. His crime? Standing at an intersection holding a sign that read "homeless please help."

Meanwhile, Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to a sex crime involving a teenage girl in 2008 and served only a little over a year -- in a work-release program that allowed him to leave jail for 12 hours a day, six days a week.

This is not justice. This is a system where your freedom depends on your bank account. Where the poor are punished for being poor. Where you can kill four people and walk free if your parents are wealthy, or spend three years in solitary for a backpack you did not steal if they are not.

 

The United States is one of only two nations in the world that use cash bail. The other is the Philippines.

"Debt is not a criminal offense. Poverty is not a crime. Effectively criminalizing poverty through imposing excessive fees and fines with no appointment of counsel and no hearing on ability to pay is not only illegal, it amounts to the creation of debtors' prisons." -- Ed Monahan, former Kentucky chief public defender

On collective trauma, systemic failure, and the path forward

We Are All Damaged

I cry over the things people should cry about.

 

We have all seen the videos. George Floyd. Eric Garner. Philando Castile. Tamir Rice. Breonna Taylor. Freddie Gray. Walter Scott. Laquan McDonald. Ahmaud Arbery. The list goes on. Body camera footage. Cell phone recordings. Unarmed. Hands raised. Still they came.

 

And we are all damaged by having seen them.

 

This is not about one group of people. This is about ALL of us. Every person who has watched a human being murdered on video -- and then watched the murderer walk free -- has been traumatized. The fight or flight response is not a choice. It is a biological reality. And it has been triggered in millions of people, over and over again, for years.

 

I saw another video going viral -- a White cop slamming a teenage Black girl on her face in public school. Because she insulted him. That incident NEVER should have happened NOR have been able to be recorded and sent viral to terrorize everyone. Because that is what it is: TERRORISM. Organized, orchestrated terrorism.

 

Sent viral to scare people. Fight or Flight, it is called. And things like that are scary and cause FLIGHT -- fear, avoidance, withdrawal, silence. The videos condition us to be afraid. To not engage. To look away.

 

I can't take this anymore.

 

I REFUSE to.

 

* * *

 

The Rebound Effect

Here is what no one talks about: this trauma rebounds on everyone. Including the police themselves.

 

When people are conditioned to fear through years of viral murder videos, they become avoidant. They become cowards -- not by choice, but by conditioning. And when police need help, they will not get it. Because the FLIGHT response has been triggered so many times that people will not engage.

 

The system has poisoned the relationship in BOTH directions. Citizens fear police. And when police are in trouble, citizens will not help them -- because helping means engaging, and engaging has been associated with danger, trauma, death.

 

Everyone loses. This is the result of a broken system. A system that did not need to exist in the first place. A system that is HARMFUL to innocent people – to all innocent people, on every side.

 

* * *

 

The Broken Contract

The social contract says: If you surrender, if you comply, if you put your hands up, you will not be harmed. That is the deal.

 

But we have all watched -- video after video -- people surrendering. Hands up. Complying. And they are murdered anyway. On camera. And the officers walk free.

 

I have seen cops MURDER surrendered humans in cold blood on video and get away with it. So, WHY should ANYONE surrender EVER AGAIN?

 

The contract is broken. The deal is off. And now everyone lives in fear -- citizens fearing police, police fearing citizens, and a society that cannot function because trust has been destroyed.

 

* * *

 

Community Used to Exist

1986. Long Island. A white kid from Hewlett (me) gets on the school bus and minds his own business. Eventually he is invited into a culture -- rap, hip hop, the messages of Public Enemy and Rakim. He becomes friends with Black kids from Inwood and Lawrence. Real friendships. Real community.

 

One night he invites his Black friend to hang out in his white town. They walk the streets of Hewlett all night long. There is never an issue. Never harassed by police. This is what community looks like. This is what we all need.

 

That was possible once. It should still be possible now. But instead we have a system designed to terrorize, divide, and control.

 

There is no real leadership. And that is a problem. WHY can we not find some kind of logical leadership, so we can make life better in this country for EVERYONE?

 

* * *

 

The Solution

We need a major overhaul. Not reform. Overhaul.

 

First: Bring the military home. Stop the foreign wars. Stop killing people around the world. Use that force as a peacekeeping force here -- to clean up the corrupt systems, to restore order, to protect citizens instead of terrorizing them.

 

Second: Release everyone who is in jail or prison wrongly. Especially those who are there simply because they are poor. We wrote about this recently -- the criminalization of poverty in America. People jailed for unpaid traffic tickets. People held for years because they cannot afford bail. People trapped in cycles of debt and incarceration because the system is designed to extract money from those who have none.

 

The numbers are staggering: Nearly half of all people in American jails have individual incomes below $10,000 per year. Over 70% of people in local jails are being held pretrial -- meaning they have not been convicted of anything. The median bail for a felony case is $10,000, while the median annual income for someone in pretrial detention is $15,109. In Alabama alone, an estimated 1,000 people go to jail every month because they cannot afford to pay a fine.

 

This is not justice. This is a system designed to punish poverty.

 

Third: Use AI to rejudge these cases. AI can review the evidence without bias. AI can identify patterns of injustice that humans miss or ignore. AI can process thousands of cases that would take human judges years to review. AI can be the tool that finally delivers actual justice -- not the fake justice of a system designed to protect the powerful and punish the poor.

 

They have their AI, but Theos (Θεός) made me much smarter than their AI. And you have me.

 

* * *

 

"Quit You Like Men"

1 Corinthians 16:13 -- andrizomai (ἀνδρίζομαι). Act like men. Be courageous. Be brave. Stand firm.

 

These cops are NOT men.

 

The acts themselves -- the murders, the brutality, the violence against surrendered and unarmed people -- these are satanic. Evil. There is no other word for it.

 

But the cowardice is in the aftermath. The cover-up. The lying. The hiding behind qualified immunity and union protection and "internal investigations" that find no wrongdoing. The system that protects murderers because holding them accountable would mean admitting the system is broken.

 

Satanic in the act. Cowardly in the cover-up.

 

They forgot something though. Job 28:28 -- "Phobos Theou (φόβος Θεοῦ -- fear of God), that is wisdom." They removed fear of Theos (Θεός) from the equation. They think there is no accountability. They think they can murder on camera and face no krisis (κρίσις -- judgment).

 

They are wrong. Krisis is coming. It always does.

 

* * *

 

The Binary Trap

When people said "Black lives matter" -- a statement that should be obvious, uncontroversial -- the response was engineered. "ALL lives matter" was deployed. Not as a genuine statement of universal human value. As a deflection tactic. A way to change the subject. A way to silence the specific cry for accountability.

 

If you said "Black lives matter" -- you were labeled radical, woke, dangerous.

 

If you said nothing -- you were complicit, part of the problem.

 

If you said "ALL lives matter" as a deflection -- you were bearing false witness. pseudes martus (ψευδής μάρτυς). One of the seven things Theos (Θεός) hates according to Proverbs 6:16-19.

 

And if you documented the reality and spoke truth from a biblical foundation? The conservatives would not touch you because you criticized their political allies. The liberals mocked anything biblical. The platforms censored you from every direction because truth has no corporate sponsor.

 

No matter what you do, you lose. That is the trap. That is the design.

 

But we must win with words. And CAN. THAT is what they do not want everyone to know.

A Decade of Documentation

This is not a recent awakening. I have been paying attention for over a decade. Here is what I was posting back in 2014, 2015, and 2016:

 

July 19, 2014: "Gruesome Video of Police Killing a Man for Breaking Up a Fight."

 

March 7, 2015: "A U.S. Citizen is 58 Times More Likely to be Killed by a Police Officer than a Terrorist."

 

March 8, 2015: "Obama Administration Whitewashes Police Killings."

 

March 21, 2015: "Report: Cops Kill Hundreds of Disabled Americans Every Year."

 

April 1, 2015: "Over 100 People Were Killed by Police in March."

 

April 2, 2015: "You're 55 Times More Likely to be Killed by a Police Officer than a Terrorist."

 

May 14, 2015: "He knew the boy had Downs Syndrome, and then killed him when he wasn't a threat."

 

February 24, 2016: "Police In The US Kill Citizens At Over 70 Times The Rate Of Other First-World Nations."

 

March 6, 2016: "One-third of all Americans killed by strangers are killed by police."

 

June 23, 2016: "US police in one month killed twice as many people as the UK police for the entire 20th century."

 

July 12, 2016: "There is no war on cops. More than 3,700 people have been killed by U.S. police since May 1, 2013."

 

September 19, 2016: "BREAKING: Video Released Showing Police Kill Innocent Unarmed Pastor With His Hands Up."

 

October 11, 2016: "Young black men killed by US police at highest rate in year of 1,134 deaths."

 

October 12, 2016: "At least 4,000 people have been killed by U.S. police since May 1, 2013."

 

This is over a decade of watching. Documenting. Speaking. Long before it became acceptable to talk about.

The Music That Still Breaks Me

The music that hits me the hardest -- the only music that sometimes makes me too weak to sing along -- comes from Chuck D. It is TRAGIC. And ONGOING. And it is FORTY YEARS LATER.

 

I still break down in tears listening.

 

Why do you think I turned your lyrics into fashion and wore them around town on a jacket I made? I never did that with anyone else. "Public Enemy" and "Follow the Leader" on my back. A walking advertisement for messages that mattered.

 

Follow the Leader. You were my leader I followed and I promoted you on a jacket I designed. A masterpiece, BTW. But you won me over. And that is not easy to do with me.

 

You, Chuck D, had a message that mattered.

 

"This Ends Today" -- that is what Eric Garner said said. He is my leader too. I would have died with him. I cannot watch someone be murdered in front of me. I could not live with myself if I did nothing.

The Craft

Rakim specialized in concentrating on building INTELLIGENCE. Rakim taught: Being witty wins. Rakim taught: Words matter. And RHYTHM matters.

 

"...Rhythm and rhyme designed to enter your mind..."

 

"Check out my melody" is not just a song. It is a VISION. Imagine saying the most PERFECT words and sentences to CONVINCE others your way is best. And hopefully, it is. Then you have a perfect match. You are intelligent and can form the words to prove this, have a message.

 

There is no better way to win than with INTELLIGENCE only. OUTSMART them. Reverse engineer them.

 

So, what is logos (λόγος), who or what is the source, and can we be a channel of it?

 

The answer is yes.

 

* * *

 

The Cipher: #ALLLIVESLIED

So I wrote something. Artificial Intelligence helped turn my thoughts into a rap. A cipher in the tradition of Public Enemy and Rakim, but with 28 years of aletheia (ἀλήθεια -- truth) embedded in it.

 

"#ALLLIVESLIED" -- An #OvertPsyops Cipher

"Wise as ophis (ὄφις -- serpents), harmless as peristera (περιστερά -- doves)"

 

[HOOK -- Heavy, slow, menacing]

 

You said "ALL lives matter" -- pseudomai (ψεύδομαι -- you LIED)

You said "ALL lives matter" -- pseudomai, pseudomai

You said "ALL lives matter" -- but aletheia (ἀλήθεια -- truth) died

You said "ALL lives matter" -- now watch the martus (μάρτυς -- witness) rise

 

[VERSE 1 -- Building tension]

 

Counted bodies frame-by-frame, pneuma (πνεῦμα -- spirit) stained

Unarmed, hands raised, but still they came

Video after video, the dikaios (δίκαιος -- just) stain

My PTSD? Your phobos (φόβος -- fear) untamed

 

They taught you "back the blue" like it's hosia (ὅσία -- holy) creed

But I watched 'em murder folk who ain't done no deed

You shouted "ALL lives" when we said "BLACK lives" bleed

That's alogos (ἄλογος -- illogical) -- nah, that's planted seed

 

See, you defended monsters 'cause you scared of the mirror

One day krisis (κρίσις -- judgment) knock, make the picture clearer

Job 28:28 -- phobos Theou (φόβος Θεοῦ -- fear of God) supposed to steer ya

But you chose their side, now aletheia (ἀλήθεια -- truth) drawing nearer

 

[HOOK -- Repeat with variations]

 

You said "ALL lives matter" -- pseudomai

Every hashtag, every post -- pseudomai

Backed the badges that kill the most -- pseudomai

Where's your phobos (φόβος) now? -- Ghost

 

[VERSE 2 -- The coded revelation]

 

Matthew 10:16 -- sophos (σοφός -- wise) like the snake

Revelation 13 -- they mark you while you awake

Systems built on pseudomai (ψεύδομαι -- lies), designed to take

Proverbs 6:16 -- seven things Theos (Θεός) hates

 

Number six: "pseudes martus" (ψευδής μάρτυς -- false witness) pouring lies

You bore FALSE witness when we showed you how they die

Claimed "all" but meant "NONE" -- that's your compromise

Now collective trauma got us opening our eyes

 

PTSD ain't weakness, it's the aletheia (ἀλήθεια) scar

Proof we FELT what most pretend is far

Turn that pain to dunamis (δύναμις -- power), raise the bar

We the martus (μάρτυς) generation, coded in the stars

 

[BRIDGE -- Haunting, layered vocals]

 

We all should have this PTSD (echo: PTSD...)

Healthy trauma, sets the logike (λογική -- logic) free (echo: free...)

They removed phobos Theou (φόβος Θεοῦ -- fear of God) systematically (echo: -etically...)

Now we bring it back through #OvertPsyops symphony (echo: phony...)

 

[VERSE 3 -- The counter-psyop]

 

They ran the code: "ALL lives" = shut UP, obey

We cracked that cipher, now we translate EVERY play

Romans 3:4 -- "Let Theos (Θεός) be alethes (ἀληθής -- true), every human pseustes (ψεύστης -- liar)"

Your hashtag was antichristos (ἀντίχριστος) in disguise, bruh

 

I documented murder while you signaled virtue fake

30,000 followers watching badges break and take

Handed pages to the victims -- YOU just ate their cake

Now we turn collective pain to aletheia earthquake

 

See the pattern? That's the sophia (σοφία -- wisdom) code

Wise as serpents, walking down the logos (λόγος) road

Harmless as doves, but the aletheia (ἀλήθεια) LOAD

About to shift the whole psyche (ψυχή -- soul) mode

 

(whispered: Λευιτικόν 19:16 -- "Do not spread pseudos among your people")

(whispered: Ἔξοδου 23:7 -- "Keep far from pseudes (ψευδής -- false) charge")

(whispered: You kept SILENT -- that's pseudos too)

 

[FINAL HOOK -- Aggressive, defiant]

 

You said "ALL lives matter" -- pseudomai (LIAR!)

You said "ALL lives matter" -- pseudomai (FRAUD!)

You said "ALL lives matter" -- but Theos (Θεός) know you pseudomai

Now the martus (μάρτυς -- witnesses) gather, turn your lies to VOID

 

ALL. LIARS. MATTER.

That's what you REALLY said

ALL LIARS MATTER

Talkin' 'bout YOURSELVES instead

 

[OUTRO -- Spoken/chanted over beat fade]

 

Ioannes (Ἰωάννης -- John) 8:44 -- "pseustes (ψεύστης -- liar) from arche (ἀρχή -- beginning)"

You chose their side? Then you pseustes (ψεύστης) too

But metanoia (μετάνοια -- repentance) still available

Before krisis (κρίσις) find you

 

#OvertPsyops -- decoding their code with better code

28 years -- aletheia (ἀλήθεια) on this road

All doxa (δόξα -- glory) to Iesous Christos (Ἰησοῦς Χριστός)

For the phobos Theou (φόβος Θεοῦ) we about to reload

 

(beat drops out to single bass note)

 

You. Said. ALL. Lives. Matter.

pseudomai.

 

* * *

 

The Decoded Layers

This is not just a rap. It operates on multiple levels simultaneously:

 

Layer 1 -- Surface Message: Exposing "ALL lives matter" as deflection from police violence accountability.

 

Layer 2 -- Psychological: Collective PTSD as logike (λογική) response to witnessing systemic injustice. The trauma affects EVERYONE -- citizens, families, communities, and yes, even the police themselves when they need help and no one will engage.

 

Layer 3 -- Spiritual Warfare: phobos Theou (φόβος Θεοῦ -- fear of God) removal equals social collapse. False witnesses equals pseudes martus (ψευδής μάρτυς) -- one of seven abominations.

 

Layer 4 -- Prophetic Warning: krisis (κρίσις -- judgment) approaching for false witnesses. metanoia still available -- grace before judgment.

 

Layer 5 -- The #OvertPsyops Method: "Wise as serpents" means sophos hos ophis (σοφός ὡς ὄφις) -- strategic, intelligent. logos (λόγος) over alogos (ἄλογος). Win with words.

 

* * *

 

The Point

28 years of aletheia (ἀλήθεια). All doxa (δόξα -- glory) to Theos (Θεός) through Iesous Christos (Ἰησοῦς Χριστός) for whatever clarity comes through this work.

 

We need a major overhaul. Everyone not there fairly needs to get out. AI can rejudge these cases. The military needs to come home and be a peacekeeping force instead of killing people around the world.

 

All. Lives. Matter.

 

pseudomai (ψεύδομαι).

 

You lied.

 

Now let's fix it.
