Date: December 7, 2011 

To:    Honorable Governor Bev  Perdue <governor.office@nc.gov>

Cc:    NCDP Chair David Parker <DavidParker@ncdp.org>

          Chair Mack Paul: WakeCoParty <chair@wakedems.org>

.

On Friday Dec 2nd in Raleigh, Mack Paul, Chair of the largest County Democratic Party in the NC announced his resignation effective Dec 31st.  Paul is the 2nd Chair of the Wake County Party to resign, and the 3rd in a row who were embroiled in the loss of, then the regaining of, a majority vote on the Wake County School Board, at a cost of millions of dollars unnecessarily spent because of failed leadership inside the Party at both County and State Democratic Party levels.

.

The School Board was target of an Art Pope/KOCH Bros tea party take over in the 2009 Wake County Election.  Attack of tea party Rethuglicans to use Wake County as a national Model for introducing re-segregation into America's Pubic Schools has been thoroughly documented in dozens of national publications. See http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/10/10/111010fa_fact_mayer?currentPage=all

.

While Democrats breathed a sigh of relief when they purchased enough votes for a 5-4 majority in their favor on the School Board in last month's Elections, they have paid no attention to the fact that numerous School Boards across the Nation fell into Rethuglican hands, making the Pope/KOCH Master Plan fully up and running successfully.

.

Losing the flagship conquest of Wake County was of no consequences in the Rethuglican National Battle Plan to re-segregate Public Schools.  In fact, they expected to use the Wake Election to force Democrats to raise and spend outrageous amounts of money. Democrats won by only 926 votes out of 20,440 cast, which elected their one Candidate majority on this supposedly nonPartisan Board.  While full costs are not yet in (and may never be known because of massive secret Corporate spending on both sides), it's likely to have cost Democrats more than $25,000 per winning vote.

.

A classic myopic view of politics which caused both loss of the School Board in 2009 and both Houses of the NC Legislature in 2010 (for first time in a century) was emphasized by Lawyer Mack Paul's resignation, announcing that he was quitting while he was ahead, "to refocus on family" and his work as a high priced real estate attorney.

.

One of his predecessors, former Chair & Lobbyist Doris Weaver, began wrecking her Wake County Democratic Party under State Chair Jerry Meek's Progressive Invasion, with notorious fist-pounding meetings, incessant hiring and firing of 5 Executive Directors, and 2 Kangaroo Court Trials of an Officer of the Wake County Party which cost at least $1600, straining her already failed fund raising to meet budget requirements for her one 2-year term of office.

.

Her successor Chair, Lawyer Jack Nichols performed no better, having taken the Chair position only to promote himself into a Candidacy for County Commissioner, which he lost.  Nichols was unable to reign in Wake Progressive Outlaws, an illegitimate Invasive Auxiliary Club, one of a dozen which Lawyer Meek was seeding across NC during his 4 years as State Chair.  During the 2009 Election where the School Board was lost, Wake Co Dem Party Officer Chris Telesca and other Wake Officers distracted voters attention by openly campaigning against a Democratic Candidate for Cary Town Council, causing a Rethugilican to be elected, and the School Board to be lost when confused Democrats failed to go to the polls. 

.

More than any other single person, Christopher Telesca is responsible for 2 years of unnecessarily inflicted argumentative pain and suffering at School Board meetings, and millions of dollars which had to be wasted to regain a majority on the School Board.  For supporting a Rethuglican, Telesca should have been expelled as an Officer of the Party.  But -- due to Gov Bev having selected a Blue Dog Dem for State Party Chair (Buncombe Slumlord David Young) to thwart Jerry Meek from installing a surrogate after his 4 years as State Party Chair -- Telesca escaped removal which he fully earned.

.

Last April's Wake County Convention was rigged by Wake Progressives to re-elect a pre-determined slate of Progressive Outlaws, including Officer Telesca and Chair Mack Paul.  Paul had a plan to raise enormous amounts of money to hire leadership which the Wake Party could no longer provide, and spent most of his time organizing fundraising parties with $500 to $5000 sponsorship fees.  At the time of this Article, the total amount of out-of-State money raised for TV and direct mail advertising to defeat Pope/KOCH is unknown, but is suspected to be more than was raised within Wake County itself, even with Raleigh being the State Capitol.

.

Meanwhile, Progressive Wake County Party Officer Telesca is determined to keep the Wake County Party in permanent chaos as a perpetual battleground, having just last week publicly advocated through at least four (4) Progressive Yahoo Groups that the newly emerging Occupy Movement should be used to invade the Democratic Party, to do the job of overthrowing the Party which Progressives had failed for 5 years to do.  This is what Telesca published last week on Nov 29th (emphasis provided) :

.

 "But it's not enough to get involved in the Democratic Party or clubs

_________________________

.

On Saturday Dec 3rd after Mack Paul's resignation on Friday, the private Corporation Progressive Democrats of NC, Inc. held its Annual Meeting, vowing in Website published statements beforehand to Co-Opt the Occupy Movement to further its private Corporate Agenda inside the Democratic Party.  PDNC,Inc has been meeting illegitimately at every NCDP State Executive Committee meeting for years since Lawyer Meek snuck them in, masquerading PDNC,Inc as a Party Auxiliary in the mornings to vote on their private Agenda, then slipping individually into afternoon Sessions of 700+ SEC members to push their private Corporate agenda into action.  

.

Telesca still has an outstanding Resolution he proposed under State Chair Young to forgive himself for violating the Party Plan of Organization.  Current State Party Chair & Lawyer David Parker has failed to convene but 1 SEC meeting for 2011, and the next is in Jan 2012.  At that time, Parker is planning to spring several new Auxiliary Clubs upon the SEC, including a secret LGBT Auxiliary which was formed illegitimately last August, holding a privately organized State "Convention" of fifty people, electing State Officers from existing illegitimate LGBT County Chapters and passing By-laws. 

.

This is an attempt to legitimize LGBT Auxiliaries which have existed for years illegitimately sequestered inside Parties in Mecklenburg and New Hanover Counties, and to allow LGBTs 5 months to covertly organize Chapters in other Counties prior to approval by the SEC, to be suddenly sprung whole after the Jan SEC Meeting, from seed originally sown covertly by LGBT Jerry Meek 5 years ago, in his Plan to fully Californicate North Carolina.

If you think the NC Democratic Party has been screwed up thus far, you ain't seen nothin' yet, as the Party moves toward September 2012 with the National Democratic Convention in Charlotte, where someone must be nominated by the Party to run for President against a Rethuglican, and also most likely a Third Party Candidate which may spawn as a spinoff of the Occupy Movement.  

.

However, the General Assembly of Occupy Washington has passed a Resolution stating NO to Co-Option and Misdirection By Democratic Party, or with Democratic Party political arms like MoveOn.org and other private Corporations like PDNC,Inc.

.

These failed organizations are racing to try to glum onto and Co-Opt the startling Occupy Movement energy being released worldwide as Global Conscience mobilizes to fight massive corruption by the 1%.  These include most elected members of Congress, Art Pope, KOCH Bros, and those like BigMoneyBag Democrats who Mack Paul drug into Wake County to buy an election, significantly denying future leadership from originating within the Wake County Party. For what shall it profit a Party if it wins one election but loses its ability to lead?

.

In order to clear the decks of corruption and have time to rebuild itself before the National Convention, the NC Democratic Party must rapidly secure 2 additional resignations, also to be effective on December 31st.

NC Governor Berverly Perdue is the subject of a federal RICO Obstruction of Justice Complaint for her failure to order prosecution of numerous State Employees for participating in an Interstate Conspiracy a year ago to falsely arrest and incarcerate a Native North Carolinians living in exile outside NC.  The State is also guilty of Grand Larceny and Attempted Murder, in an ongoing unresolved case originating in Rockingham County NC in 2006.

.

During this November, some 8,600 witnesses aware of these Crimes were gathered for identification to US Prosecuting Attorneys, including State Employees in the Department of Justice, State Legislature, Council of State, and Boards of Elections among many others, including hundreds of Lawyers and Judges, all Officers of the Court licensed by the State to practice law ethically and honestly. Each of these hundreds of State Employees are guilty of violating their Oath of Office.  Most of these same witnesses had previously been identified in a 302-page Complaint filed with 3 US Attorneys on Christmas Eve 2010.

.

Gov Bev has published responsive lies to each Complaint filed with her, at least since when she was Lt Gov in 2009.  Some 150 False Statements have been gathered as evidence, each one promising to investigate the crimes being reported to her, and simultaneously to hundreds of other State Employees.  Here is one early example:

.

.

Thank you for e-mailing the Office of North Carolina's Lieutenant Governor Bev Perdue.

This message is to confirm that your e-mail was successfully transmitted and received at the e-mail address listed above.

If your e-mail correspondence contains a request or an inquiry, we look forward to following up with you.

Office of Lieutenant Governor Bev Perdue

20401 MSC

Raleigh, NC 27699-0401

(919) 733-7350

.

Never once since her inauguration did Gov Bev respond, except to repeatedly claim that her private Email address was being closed, which turned out to also be a lie. She confirmed she had been lying for years when she stopped sending out such responses last Summer, once her pattern of lies had been publicly exposed.

.

Gov Bev sits at the top of an Empire of Liars, Criminals and Thieves, all paid to commit their crimes while in the employ of the State, paid with taxpayer's money, many of whom belong in prison.

.

Complaints filed with the NC Judicial Standards Commission, NC State Bar, NC Legislature, NC Supreme Court Justices, NC Auditor -- and the NC Department of Justice where crimes have originated -- all have gone unanswered.

.

To save the State embarrassment of having her arrested on the job by Federal Marshals, Gov Bev should resign immediately, so that a replacement can be determined, probably by special election in early 2012.  She has so thoroughly corrupted the normal line of succession that even her Council of State are also subject to possible arrest.

______________________________

.

And the third resignation shall come from State Democratic Party Chair David Parker, for his participation in criminal activities, which are likewise under investigation.  He shall also surrender his license to practice law in NC.  While Lawyer Mack Paul will be replaced with a new Wake County Party Chair on January 19th, State Party Chair Parker can also be replaced by the NCDP SEC at it's January 28th Meeting in Greensboro.

.

The NCDP 1st Vice Chair is ineligible to succeed Parker as Chair because of her severe meddling at the African American Caucus Convention last month, which remains in a chronic state of corruption and lawlessness.  AAC Officers who tried to correct corruption under 2 State Party Chairs were rebuked by State Party Officers, with none of them currently serving as AAC Officers.

.

Wake Chair Mack Paul is history.  If these 2 other top Officials resign immediately, they can be replaced perhaps in time for the Party to recover before statewide Democratic Candidate filings must happen within the month of February, with Primary Elections following in May, before going up against Rethuglicans in November.  

.

Failure to do so forces 2.4 million registered Democratic Party voters in North Carolina to focus on details of their criminal activity all the way to the National Convention in Charlotte in September, followed by another round of massive Democratic Party Candidate losses in November.

Thurs Oct 21:  Glass Studio: continued another day of prepping for Autumn Sale until about 4:30 pm, which had been advertised to 500 fmr students and customers by an Email Flyer:  Fri-Sat + Tues-Sat, 8 days over next 2 weekends.  Sciatic nerve pain in left hip growing more severe from standing long hours for several days during set-up.  From experience, I know that if I do not keep it under control by using a regime of diet, soft surfaces, hot baths and Ibuprofen which I'd perfected over years, pain would spread down my leg into foot, making walking almost impossible, leaving me a hobbling cripple for months until gotten back under control.  

.

In my backyard garden where tomatoes, 3 kinds of beans and the Winter snow pea crop awaiting another harvest before frost.  I picked a gallon of mixed Juliet tomatoes & green beans from my garden and went up to my apt.  Setting them by my computer to shell and process later that evening -- looking forward to a stir-fry dish with this batch of snow peas -- I brought down the days Email.

.

5:30 pm:  Loud banging on door.  "Who's there?" "Christiansburg Police.  Open the door."  Non-uniformed large black man asked if I was me.  "Yes."  "Step out into the hall."  4 other officers appeared from each side of door and from hiding down stair as I was placed under arrest.  Tried to turn off my computer, they refused to allow me back in, saying I might have a weapon inside.  Said I had never owned a gun.  Black Officer:  "Do you know how many times have I heard that before?"  Said "Please let me turn it off, there is a special way to do it.  Voice said "He can do it, tell him how," as black Officer went to my computer.  

.

As I guided him verbally thru steps, a young uniformed male officer handcuffed me with my hands behind my back, while a white (detective?) not in uniform entered my apartment and looked in nearest cabinet, picked up things.   Asked to please turn off green lamp beside computer.  Asked them to lock my door.  I was perp walked down stairs with them holding on to me, out to marked police car parked near my van.   Uniformed female (M F Dietrich 142 CPD 060) opened rear right door and I struggled to get into the foreshortened space, given my hip pain.  She drove me to Magistrate's Office at Courthouse 5 blocks away.  Another unmarked car was nearby, and as we passed by, I saw a uniformed officer going to a car in church parking lot across Street (Lt D W Weddle 84 CPD).

.

About 6 pm:  Appeared before Magistrate Elinor E Williams, after being pulled by Officer out of back seat (could not do it with cuffs & hip pain) at MCJail parking lot, and walked to small white separate building. By about 7 pm -- with most of Officers still conversing behind me in small antechamber, facing Magistrate behind glass and with Lieutenant seated beside me -- I had been charged with FUGITIVE: ON FELONY W/O WARRANT-EXTRADITION.

.

Lt Weddle wrote out a long statement for Magistrate while we sat, as Ms Williams entered info from me into her computer.  Lt asked if female Dietrich wanted to be arresting officer, listing time as 1844.   Lt read out his statement for Magistrate and swore to it.  I denied several things as he read it, not knowing anything about what he was reading, which was phoned or sent to him by someone in NC he claimed to be a special investigator with the State Police.  Magistrate said this was not about charges in NC, but about arrest in VA for Extradition to NC.

.

Magistrate said bad news was I could not be released on bond because of being charged as a flight risk, and therefore, I was walked next door to Jail.  At some point, I asked if I should have a lawyer present, and she said No.  I was given copies of 3 papers which I carried, still cuffed, walking to the Jail, a large 4 story brick building next door.

__________________________

.

About 7 pm: Once inside bars of Jail lobby where I was uncuffed, legal papers were taken away from me at check-in without a chance to read them, along with everything in my pockets: my key ring and billfold (and one left over green bean which was thrown away).  $77 cash removed and placed into my "account".  I said I lived in poverty, and had no lawyer to call.  Told I would be assigned a lawyer in the morning.

.

Was given 2 phone calls.  They looked up my business associate and called.  I told her that I was in Jail, that I would call again after Court Fri morn when I knew something about this.  She would start my Sale as planned next morn at 10 am. Then I was taken to change into jail clothes (boxers & T-shirt, orange jump suit, plastic shower slip-ons, keeping only my socks).  Afterward, I was put into Holding Cell #1 with others.

.

Had to carry 6" deep hamper with lid containing 2 sheets, towels and pillowcase.  On top was placed folded heavy mattress, blanket and pillow, all carried up into elevator, having to limp and stop to lean load into wall often.  Explained to various guards often that I needed Ibuprofen.  Said I'd see Medical in morning as part of processing.

.

Up several (?) floors on elevator, I arrived at my new "home": F block, 2nd cell, lower bunk.  6 2-man cells and a narrow commons room, shower at far end with 2 phones, narrow steel bench and counter with blaring TV.  Introduced myself to cell mate, Travis, began chatting with selected others, asking what they were in for.  Some were serving time, others were awaiting bonds, lawyer assignments, or arraignments.  Some were serving sentences which might be as long as 5 years here, all of us mixed together indiscriminately. 

.

Most were on drug, DUI and/or domestic charges (non-child support), or probation violation, but usually had multiple charges. Some were on various larceny or destruction of property charges.  Almost none were on single charges like me, often serving concurrent sentences for multiple offenses.  Tattoos and shaved heads were common. All white except one Mexican. Some were cheerful and playing dominos or cards in the narrow commons area outside row of cells.  Some stayed in their cells, and interacted little.  They were from young adults to middle age.  I was the oldest.  But they accepted me readily into their community.

.

Said I was there for extradition to NC, which is all I knew.  For a few hours I asked questions, and Jail life was explained to me: commissary ordering, phones, shower on once a day (wear shower shoes to avoid contracting fungus), etc. Two man cells all locked down at 10 pm, but blaring TV (on counter 6' from my head) and lights stayed on til midnight.  Then, blackout, with guards passing by in hallway (about every half hour?) with flashlights looking into each bunk.  I very quickly relearned why I had had no TV for 4 years, with the truly worthless programing chopped into meaningless segments by endless interruptions from ads designed for a 3rd grade mentality.  This was true "cruel and unusual punishment."

___________________________

.

Eventually fell asleep, fitfully.  Awoke once staring up at bottom of top bunk, 2' x 6' steel shelf mounted to wall with holes every square foot.  With a cold, heat-sucking smooth concrete wall to the left, and nothing to the right but darkness, I first thought I had been buried alive in a coffin.   Took a while to get intense panic feeling under control.  Had nightmares for the first time since I was a kid, when my tonsils were taken out, under ether.  For a long time afterward, had reoccurring dream that I was being chased by a pack of neighborhood dogs.  One grabbed my left leg and pulled it off, just as I awoke each time.  Eventually decided I did not want to dream, and taught my brain not dream.  Learned many years later that everyone dreams in REM sleep:  somehow, I had taught myself how to not remember them.  Ironically, it is my left hip where my leg separated in my childhood nightmares where the sciatic nerve pain resides.

.

Friday 10/22:  Lights came on, perhaps 5 am.  My Autumn Glass Sale begins at 10 am, without me.  Bad back pain got worse overnight from too hard, too narrow bed & sciatic nerve pain increases, making walking slow, sitting difficult.  Breakfast arrived in sectioned plastic serving container, juice and coffee, all slid thru a narrow slot in bars with drinks passed between bars.  I did not open mine, debating initiating a hunger strike I'd considered if I was ever arrested.  By lunch, I had abandoned that idea, since I realized no one cared.  

.

Told to put on my "oranges", taken down elevator to Classification, down a back hall at Intake.  Questions asked, like if I was contemplating suicide, and if I had any enemies in this Jail.  Extensive Rule Booklet given.  Various things explained.  Bought 2 prepaid $12 phone cards (with $10 in calls on each) from the $77 in my account.

.

Taken to Medical, interviewed by Guard Quesenberry, who took blood pressure.  Explained sciatic nerve problem, increasing constantly, because of not being able to find comfortable places to sit, stand or sleep.  Gave me 6 Ibuprofen in small envelope. 

.

Back in cell block for short time, then to Courtroom for lawyer assignment.  First time in chained manacle cuffs and ankle shackles, put on at Intake for walk to Courthouse.  Slow walking, with one other inmate.  Taken up by elevator, placed in detention cell.  Later we were taken into Courtroom.  Bailiff questioned financials, including SSI.  Said no, not knowing what he was asking, but later said I lived on Social Security, and he wrote it up again, listing SSI as $740/mo, saying I would get a lawyer assigned with that listed.  Other guy went first.  My hearing was scheduled for Nov 17th. I was randomly assigned atty Steven, who I remembered from car accident 2 years ago in front of Studio when my student was hit by a Sheriff's Deputy passing on wrong side at high speed, but she got charge, and Steven had caused charges to be dropped.  Steven had also been receiving Emails of [Judges-on-Trial], as had 300 other lawyers and judges nationally; but noticed his snail addy had changed from large law firm in Cburg to single listing in Bburg.  But pleased that Fate had given me the only lawyer I knew in the state.  Walked back to Jail, chains removed in Jail Intake lobby, and escorted back up elevator to F block.

.

Learned to use Phone Card from cellblock phone, calling business friend about 1 pm.  She would visit after closing shop at 2 pm on Sat.  

.

Saturday 10/23:  Nightmares overnight. Other Med person passed thru hallway after breakfast, but did not recognize him till he had passed.  Requested from a passing Guard to see him or Quesenberry.  Did not show up.  2nd hot shower; 1st bm; pain increasing, took 2 more Ibuprofen.  Started sitting on upturned plastic trash can when available to watch TV; on end of steel bench (or on edge of bed, or lying down) when reading The Summons by John Grisham loaned by Sam on Fri evening.  Pain was still intense, and very difficult to find comfortable places to stand, sit or lay down, changing positions constantly, searching for the elusive and roving "notch" where pain was not.

.

Business associate did not arrive at 2 pm. (Learned from a later call that she came, waited an hour, but when asked for me as Gene, was told I was not there.  I was registered by my first name, Robert, which she did not know.) 

________________________

.

Sunday 10/24:  Youngest son's Birthday.  No way to contact him.  More nightmares overnight.  Pain increases, sit often on inverted trash can, using my pillow as padding.   Continued reading.  Cart comes by twice a day with hot water and ice.  Inmates use Ramen soup purchased from commissary with hot water to supplement food, sometimes for instant coffee.  I use flat ice cubes, gathered into my top-opened, washed, half-pint milk carton, to crunch on.

.

Monday 10/25:  Laundry day and Commissary Order day by phone, punching order by number codes, delivery received on Thursday.  Ordered ~$20:  3 paper pads, 3 pencils, 2 erasers, stamped envelopes, dandruff shampoo.  

.

Taken downstairs in orange jump suit: Assigned atty Steven came for first visit.  He realized I was the "glass guy" from car accident.  Explained I knew not what this was about.  He would look into it more, but indicated I would probably be Extradited after Hearing on Nov 17th.   I mentioned lawyer friend in NC, and he said he'd try to contact.  He was going to set a bond hearing in a few days, but would wait until I could talk with NC friend.  Later scuttlebutt from inmates: if VA said come get me, and NC did not in 10 days, I'd go free.  Others said 30 days.  Learned to listen for possibilities to investigate, but not to trust what was conveyed by inmates.

.

Medical officer stopped by: cannot give more Ibuprofen for free: order them on Commissary at 2 for 68¢.  But discovered that because I had placed an order, I could not order again until next Monday, to arrive the following  Thurs, 8 days away with no pain relief.  Quesenberry brought me bottle of 20 from Medical for $10, and threw in 10 more. (I had been buying 100 for $2.49 when on sale at Kroger, and felt really ripped off.)   Took 4 at 2:30 pm, 3 more at lockdown.  Q'berry said Doctor would not be at Jail until more than a week away.

.

Took long very hot shower on hip, had Trustee turn it up to max (controlled in hall outside cellblock). (Had been doing hot bathtub soaks at home.) Two dumb, loud and lousy Halloween movies played back to back. Lots of loud shouting between cellblocks especially after lockdown at night.  Ed (bunk under Sam in cell 1) tried to tell me not to complain too much about pain, that I could be transferred to ??? where I did not want to go.  Food was bad there.  Did not grasp what he was saying. 

.

Tuesday 10/26:  Rained overnight.  Tho windows on other side of hallway (15' away from my bunk) were covered with metal louvers, thru cracks could be seen bits of parking lot, house across street, tree line and sky + got weather reports on TV.  3 Ibuprofen @ 6:30 am. Started making Calendar on back of pink Medical receipt, having learned that receipts and legal papers I would be allowed to keep, but likely not other things I might write on plain paper. I wrote very small with lotsa abbreviations. Perfected a technique of holding on to Jail bars to do back stretches and slight knee bends, which helped hip pain some.

.

2 Ibuprofen @ 8:30 am.  9:30 am called business friend with Phone Card, learned she was refused visit on Saturday.  Call cuts off after 10 or 12 minutes.  

.

Library Day: books and mags brought around on short cart, chose 2 per week thru bars.  Had finished and returned The Summons to Sam, checked out Grisham's  The Appeal and another.  A newspaper (Roanoke Times) was brought to the cellblock each morning at Breakfast. Inmates used it mostly to gamble on sports games, and for TV Listings.  Reading books became best medicine to keep from worrying about why I was there.  Realized if this went down wrong, I could be living like this for an indefinite period of time in NC, locked away with no contact to the outside world, not being able to get addresses or phone numbers.

.

Called Lawyer again @ 4:45 pm.  Got answering machine again, so call was cut off again, not allowed to leave messages.  Attempted communication from Jail was a nightmare, especially when all my address and phone info for hundreds of people were 5 blocks away inside my computer.  Wrote a letter to Steven.  Wrote 2 page letter to NC lawyer, but could not post: no address. (This one was not sent on with me to WVRJail.) Worst meal served as supper: 2 greasy corn dogs, chili beans with hmbgr, cookie, dinner roll (not eaten), packets of hot sauce, catsup, honey mustard, bbq sauce.  4 Ibuprofen.  I began cutting out eating unhealthy foods, like white breads.

__________________________

.

Wednesday 10/27:   At 10:30 pm, without notice, I was told to put on oranges, gather ALL my stuff (including hamper, property, mattress, bedding, spare clothes and towels).  Somewhere along the way, I learned by asking, that I was being transferred to a Jail with a Medical facility, because MCJail Doctor would not be there until following Tuesday. (I had learned that an inmate was suing them for not moving him to a hospital when he was having a stroke, almost dying.  So they were dumping me, just in case.)  Bedding was sorted into rolling bins on 1st floor before exiting thru locked doors into Intake.  They gathered my other stuff from Property Bags (clothes, shoes, billfold, keys & Magistrate papers),  but would not let my Ibuprofen travel, losing what I paid for, tho I had surprisingly taken about 19 out of 30 so far, and would have swallowed 4 more had I known they would be taken.  Left 2 books in F block for guys to return to Library.

.

Chain & cuffs + shackles @ 1 pm, transferred on middle seat of van with another guy, with 3 women in rear seats. No women are kept at MCJail.  All are sent 25 miles away to WVRJail.  Van divided for max of 4 in middle, separated by steel screen from two bench seats in rear, holding 3 each, with a compartment inside back door for bags of personal property.  Drive provided first sunlight since Court Day, very colorful trees, took about a half hour to reach WVRJ.   It was huge, serving multiple counties, at least Montgomery, Franklin, Patrick, Henry, Pulaski, Roanoke City & County: 6 acres under one roof, 7-800 inmates, built on a flood plain as a Federal Max Security Prison, opened less than 2 years ago, with no bars or external windows: 4-wall concrete cells with a solid steel door, a narrow plexiglas panel for Guard's view and a locked slot for passing food thru. 

.

Chains, shackles and cuffs removed.  Placed in H2D(?) holding cell with 1, 2, then 3 other guys overnight, with blue mattress mats on raised concrete slabs, no covers. Supper: rice covered with baked beans w/meat slivers, green & yellow zucchini (like those I grew in my garden) ripple sliced with spices.  Mistakenly thought food was not as bad as I heard from my temp cell mates, coming from different jails.  #2 to arrive said food was best in Stuart where he was transferred from, because that Jail only had 36 cells and food was cooked by a local restaurant.  But this turned out to be one of best meals served for the next 22 days, some truly inedible.  All cells have a stainless steel sink/toilet combination operated by pushbuttons, except two at the corner of Intake holding cells:  the suicide watch cells have one thin mat, and a hole in the floor.

.

Stuart was the Jail where several years ago when I was a Bull Mountain member, I'd have to go to pick up keys for manning our Gallery a few blocks south, signed out at a window in the small upstairs Jail lobby.  Stokes Co Arts Council when I built Dan River Art Market 20 years previous had its Office in their old unused Jail.  That was my total experience with bars, except at Central Prison in Raleigh, when I took a tour of the Gas Chamber while working for Sociologist Elmer Johnson as a NC State College student in early 60s, doing months of research on the history of all Death Row Inmates, executed and still sitting.

.

I was watching Weather in newspapers and on TV amid quiet desperation, concerned that the rest of my garden -- which I had been just beginning to harvest for canning -- would freeze before I got out of Jail, and I would loose my food supply for Winter.  There was a hard freeze, and I lost everything except some collard plants.

.

Whoever in NC is doing this set out to steal from me my friends, my home and my business, once again, just like they did 4 years ago in 2006.  But to again steal my garden, as they did in Eden -- the food I raised to keep myself alive -- was a foolish mistake.  Some State Officials are going to prison for what they did.  No matter if they might be able to stick me off in jail or prison for what I write, I will one day get out.  And I shall be spending my time in jail or prison learning how to continue writing my books for publication, if incarcerated again.  

.

They have now officially admitted their guilt by making me their political prisoner.

.

End of Part 1, first 7 days of:  29 DAYS
