Rev. Pinkney's Dred Scott Case

Updated Nov. 4, 2014: Rev. Pinkney Verdict: Guilty (without Evidence) "It's hard to believe that ... we have a county in Michigan with a legal system this antiquated and racist. What's harder to believe is that no one at the State or National level is taking any action to remedy the situation." ~Rev. Edward Pinkney

Original Article
A 21st CENTURY DRED SCOTT TRIAL IN MICHIGAN - Everyone in the world should be keenly aware of the prosecution of an African American human rights activist who is being tried before an all-white jury for election fraud although the prosecution admits there is NO EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING. Rev. Pinkney's trial on election fraud charges begins on Oct. 27 at 8:30am at Berrien County Courthouse. It should be televised. This will be an exercise in corrupt court processes that will demonstrate how the legal system in America is used to persecute people for exercising the "rights" we have on paper that do not apply to any who use those rights to contest the absolute authority of the government and major corporations. Rev. Pinkney reports:

Prosecutor Mike Sepic asked the jury pool on three or four occasions, "Could you convict someone without evidence?" Each time he asked the question, he nodded his head, indicating that they should answer in the affirmative. Prosecutor Sepic also told the jury pool several times that evidence was not necessary in order to convict someone.

I have probably seen a thousand courtroom movies, all of which led me to believe that evidence was needed to win a conviction. Rev. Pinkney was also the first minister in America who was ordered into house arrest for quoting the bible (Deuteronomy 28 offended a judge who considered it a "terrorist threat"). Furthermore, Pinkney was the first American to be ordered not to use the Internet (while waiting for his hearing date on May 30). Nobody who was convicted of using the Internet for child porn, cyberstalking, or embezzling people via computer was ordered off the Internet, but Rev. Pinkney, who has a popular Blogtalkradio show, was. His wife Dorothy was ordered not to use the Internet in her home, although she faced no criminal charges whatsoever. Now Rev. Pinkney will be the first African American in the 21st century to be tried under the Dred Scott Decision: "A black man has NO rights a white man is bound to honor." Pinkney's life was interrupted, he was arrested and will be tried before an all-white jury that has already agreed that conviction requires no evidence of wrongdoing. What will the prosecutor say? "We don't like Pinkney; find him guilty"?

This trial transcript will undoubtedly be more interesting than any in a long time. It should be disclosed in mainstream media and published in law books to be studied by law students. If Pinkney is convicted, NO Michigan prosecutors may see it as necessary to present evidence in cases against African Americans or human rights activists again. Mike Sepic will become every prosecutor's hero if he eliminates the need for evidence to win convictions.

Protesters in ‪Ferguson and throughout America should be interested in Rev. Pinkney's trial and beware. These legal proceedings may be intended as a lesson for YOU. Protesting against government practices that Pinkney perceived as being unfair is how he got on Michigan's list of TARGETED INDIVIDUALS. 

You are probably more surprised about these criminal proceedings without any evidence of wrongdoing than I am. I was issued a court order saying that whatever The (Johnnie) Cochran firm did to prevent my family from suing Memphis Shelby County Jail for the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal was "immaterial." Until then, I did not know a judge could declare fraud and malpractice "immaterial," but it happened. Neither did I know that any Americans could be held in indefinite detention (in torturous solitary confinement) for years to force a plea bargain, but it happens to African Americans quite often during this - our "post racial" period. Isn't it strange that America's "post racial" period is similar to the pre-Civil War era?

You and I may not be able to attend Rev. Pinkney's trial in Berrien County, Michigan, but I hope you will join us in supporting Rev. Pinkney on a special radio broadcast. Human rights activists cannot always count on press coverage from mainstream media, which is why we must continue to fight Internet censorship. The Internet made mass media possible for average Americans. The link and telephone number for the radio show is below:

First American Banned from Internet: Rev. Pinkney

“We have, as far as possible, closed every avenue by which light may enter [slaves'] minds. If we could extinguish the capacity to see the light, our work would be complete; they would then be on a level with the beasts of the field, and we should be safe.” - Henry Berry addressing Virginia House of Delegates, 1832.

The Internet is important for marketing products and services, and it is convenient for dissemination of information that politicians want released. The downside for the corporate government structure is that human rights advocates also use the Internet to air news and voice opinions that are not considered beneficial to the "status quo," which is elite white supremacy. Among other things, online activists object to wars, environmental destruction, mass incarceration, racism and class consciousness in the justice system, and the destruction of citizens' rights supposedly for increased security.

Before the Internet, freedom of press was not a widely used right. Until recently, elitists could contain certain news by simply placing a call to owners of mainstream media companies. Controlling news reports made it possible to largely control public opinion. That day is gone now that hundreds of thousands of individuals have made of themselves news reporters through video uploads, blogs, and independent news companies online. Some people use the Internet to release a single video depicting overuse of force by police, and others galvanize tens of thousands of people around a cause. Along with increased use has come increased attacks against the First Amendment rights that Americans have. In fact, an activist minister from Michigan has apparently become the first person in history to be banned from using the Internet - the Reverend Edward Pinkney.

Rev. Pinkney has not been convicted of any crime whatsoever, but a gag order was issued forbidding him from using the Internet. His wife Dorothy has not even been accused of any crime, but she is forbidden from using the Internet in their home. No person who has been convicted using the Internet for cyber stalking, child pornography, or bank fraud has ever been banned from using the Internet, but Rev. Pinkney, who is accused of election fraud, was ordered to refrain from going online for any reason.

Rev. Pinkney sponsored a recall petition against the mayor of Benton Harbor, Michigan that gathered sufficient signatures. The recall petition has been more rigorously investigated than murders of young black men whose bodies are continually found in that area. Armed police officers went door to door interviewing petitioners and asking exactly what day (as much as six months before) they signed the petition. The rigorous investigation led to criminal charges against Pinkney. When he went to the hearing connected with this matter, a gag order was instituted that completely blocks him from using the Internet, although the petition for recall of the mayor did not collect online signatures.

Rev. Pinkney's gag order was probably instituted to prevent success of his following initiatives:
1) the annual OCCUPY the PGA demonstration, protesting the sale of public lands for a golf course for elitists;
2) the boycott against Whirlpool products;
3) the protest against Benton Harbor Police Department for refusing to investigate the deaths of numerous black people, which are perceived by Rev. Pinkney and others as being unrequited racial murders; and
4) the recall of elected officials who Rev. Pinkney and others perceive as being in place to represent corporation interests rather than the people of Benton Harbor.

The democratic process allows for elections and recalls of government officials. America allegedly has a government of, by and for the People. The People decide who represents them by voting for officials they choose and recalling officials as they see fit. But as Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. discussed years ago, there is a disconnect between what actually happens in America (particularly regarding black people) and what "she said on paper." Therefore, an activist minister has become the first person to be banned from using the Internet. A number of years ago, the same man was the first minister prosecuted for reciting bible verses when a judge perceived it as a terrorist threat when Rev. Pinkney quoted Deuteronomy 28.

Attorney Robin Yeamans joined this radio host on May 29 to explain how unprecedented the ban against Rev. Pinkney's Internet use is. Listen to the two(2) tapes of radio shows at the links below, IF they let you.

The Internet allows working class and indigent people throughout the world to unite and promote or oppose whatever they choose in a way that was not possible before. Any languages can be translated by computer, making all humans able to speak "one language," as stated in Genesis 11:6. There is nothing so frightening to oppressive elitists as regular people having control over the flow of information and the ability to influence public opinion. As GOD said, united people who speak a common language can accomplish any goal.

And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. ~Genesis 11:6

Repeat of Paragraphs 1 and 2: “We have, as far as possible, closed every avenue by which light may enter [slaves'] minds. If we could extinguish the capacity to see the light, our work would be complete; they would then be on a level with the beasts of the field, and we should be safe.” - Henry Berry addressing Virginia House of Delegates, 1832.
