2020 Vision: Shattering Delusions About the Demands of Human Rights Protection in America
(2019)

Abstract
Weaponization of legal systems; considerations of whether there’s fair and impartial administration of justice; judicial system corruption . . . 

These concepts are familiar to international human rights activists.  They help make up the tapestry of injustice and inhumanity redressed by international human rights law.  However, such things are not regularly associated with the United States of America, in part because our country, as a nation, does not condone violations of civil, constitutional, or human rights – particularly not on a deliberate, institutional basis.  In fact,  the offenses are so shunned in and by America that any suggestion it does otherwise is among the least credible, most reviled attacks on U.S. government.  No wonder by January 2018, it became necessary to venture outside the U.S.A. and propose to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRCouncil) that average Americans lack effective, domestic avenues for redressing the alleged role of U.S. judges in literal persecution and psychological torture imposed on litigants, respondents, and criminal defendants over which the judges preside, through persistent abuse of underlying legal proceedings.
