Another interesting quote suggesting an interesting parallel...


"It was obvious to every unprejudiced observer and to the members of the international press present at the trial during these scenes how nervous the ... leadership has become, and it is impossible to overlook how the court was hopelessly failing to meet the ... expectations and simultaneously to preserve a shred of its own dignity in the public eye".

In my disciplinary case, the "unprejudiced observers" and "the members of the international press" were not allowed into the hearing - and even the hearing was ordered, but not given to me, and the disciplinary prosecutor is now trying to have the court put me in jail for even trying to call public attention to the nightmare of lawlessness that my disciplinary proceedings have become.

And yet, it is still impossible to overlook how the New York State Appellate Division Fourth Judicial Department is, same as described in the quote above, failing to meet the expectation of the judicial and political establishment of the State of New York to have me disbarred and now convicted of a crime I did not commit, after an impeccable record in two countries for over half a century,  and to preserve at the same time a shred of its own dignity in the public eye.

And, for the reference, the quote at the beginning of this post was from the book by Ingo Muller "Hitler's Justice: The Courts of the Third Reich", 1999, p. 32, but there uncanny parallels, in my opinion, between what is happening in my "Star Chamber" court insulated from any rule of law and any public scrutiny, and what was described of the German judiciary which endorsed their corporate loyalty and loyalty to "the government" of any kind, right or wrong, over the rule of law.

The "Reichstag Fire" trial was at least open to the public, so the Nazi state at the very least attempted to make a pretense of dignity and of an independent and public court proceeding.

In my case, all such pretenses are tossed to the winds, it is Star Chamber and any attempts to reveal what is happening within the Star Chamber are now sought to be punished as a crime, with a punishment of incarceration and criminal record.
