INTRODUCTION
On 08/29/2024 at USAO in Seattle, WA, under camera and in writing, the DOJ "agreed to accept" about a million pages of organized Epstein evidence proving that Epstein conspired with the Russians and Trump to overthrow the U.S. elections in 2016+, and now those million or so pages of evidence are missing from the DOJ's required EFTA Congressional disclosures.
We disclosed a documented trillion dollars of qui tam and qui tam retaliation harm to the government, State of CA, and also to our Editor, proving 22 years of Epstein victim harm to the DOJ, now missing from the DOJ files.
We also answered every Russia wanted poster at the State Department, Bureau of Diplomatic Security, and each poster we answered was worth $10 million, also under camera 08/24/2024, which we had to do in person, because the moment we tried to file the same in Tor online with the State Department, the region we were in Seattle by the Port of Seattle "suddenly" was cyberattacked to obstruct our ability to file. We maintain that attack was to obstruct our DOS RFJ filing.
We made the following types of legal arguments to the DOJ, filing a complaint with them under camera that we were being stalked and threatened with death by Jeffrey Epstein's crime syndicate of government contractors, and that they had separately conspired to interfere with our Editor's economic activity. Artificial intelligence has also come to almost the same legal conclusions as we submitted to them under camera, and so rather than publish our beast of a revelation, we are going to prove our legal points with what artificial intelligence more succinctly communicated, below.
This massive investigation was organized into 3,000 folders of evidence, and was accompanied by 10,000 pages of IRAC legal analysis, which our Editor assembled for 22 years, as the provable original investigator for every Special Counsel investigation.
This project was started by our Editor in law school, when he was also a graduate business professor investigating Jeffrey Epstein's organized crime syndicate as a victim of the same for 11 years before that, 2013. Naturally, the law school training coupled to the graduate-level organized crime academic research into Jeffrey Epstein allowed our Editor to understand that he was a major victim of Epstein's Edge Foundation billionaires, Donald Trump/GOP, UK royals, Bill Gates (Microsoft), Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Google), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Yuri Milner (mail.ru), Marissa Mayer (Yahoo), Maja Oeri Hoffmann (Roche), Guy/Alec Wildenstein (strategic business partners with Maja Hoffmann and Elizabeth Murray), Stanford University, UC Davis, and/or many others.
Almost all of these people above and/or their proxies were found in the DOJ files, most of them as 'participants' in the Edge Foundation financed by Leon Black and Jeffrey Epstein, corroborating what we submitted to the DOJ, that all of these same people were suspected of major crimes against children, the United States, our Editor, and his family. Beyond clustering these others around Trump, Epstein, the UK royals, Leon Black, Edge Foundation, we also found a way to cluster around Zorro Ranch, and also around Henry Kravis, each a major "hub", or those connected to a large number of people harming us.
And so just as we argued to the DOJ with the above legal arguments, these people were regularly involved with one another, often sending themselves "confidential" emails about matters affecting their criminal enterprise, and for years, check the dates.
And also in the DOJ files, Edge Foundation/Group was repeatedly the criminal exposure of at least one person in an Epstein-related deposition, not once, not twice, but three times invoking the 5th Amendment not to incriminate themselves when Edge Group/Foundation was asked about.
And so in 2024, when we brought a million or so pages of organized Epstein evidence to the DOJ and DOS, they already had evidence that Leon Black's and Jeffrey Epstein's financed Edge Foundation was the subject of criminal exposure for at least one person being deposed, directly linked to the group of people we specified were involved in crimes.
And separately, the EXACT SAME people we filed a massive Epstein complaint against (including Roche) were separately accused of almost the same behavior as we were accusing, with no fewer than 5 whistleblowers claiming the same people were involved in the same sort of criminal activity. And now our files, one of the largest legal analysis of the Epstein files BEFORE they were released, are missing from the DOJ's database. Res ipsa loquitur malum in se.
And since then, using A.I. from Rye Howard Stone, we have found in the DOJ files that Epstein was money laundering through Roche.
And so to summarize, it looks like Epstein was money laundering through Roche linked to criminal enterprise Edge Foundation, and in a manner that doesn't add up said artificial intelligence, and doesn't add up by a factor of 38X.
Interestingly, Congressman Ron Wyden and others found that Epstein was being paid "fees" by Leon Black, but well in excess what those services would normally cost by a factor of about 30X to 40X, and so that's a pattern, as 38X fits perfectly in that range. Separately, our Editor worked for both Leon Black and Maja Hoffmann's Roche, and he blew the whistle on both of their companies during and after he was employed by them.
Except per a prison email from Ghislaine Maxwell, those weren't fees at all but Leon Black being bled "dry" like a "spigot", and asking her sister to move the blackmail materials, which she referenced as "emails, stuff, etc", specifically stating the reasons for the same were that otherwise they might not be able to bleed him dry like a spigot for much longer. And so Leon Black and his attorneys can lie to the public all they want that he wasn't blackmailed, extorted, and/or the like, nor did he in any manner engage in any sex crimes, but that isn't what the public record supports in the least.
And yet Black's attorney Estrich specified, “We want to reiterate that Mr. Black had no awareness of the criminal activities that led to Epstein’s arrest in 2019. Mr. Black never abused a woman. He never was with an underage woman. He never engaged in sex trafficking. He never paid Epstein for access to women. He was never blackmailed by Epstein”, who Ghislaine Maxwell worked for and was beholden to. Here, extortion or sex trafficking might be a better word than blackmailed, or not.
And so the record simply doesn't support that this narrative above is characteristic of Black, but to the contrary, the record supports he engaged in very similar behavior described above and below with Epstein, Barr, Trump, Prince Andrew, and others. And not just described by a victim but by the FBI.
For example, Leon Black was specifically accused to raping and sodomizing a mentally disabled minor using a tool or sex toy to the point of causing her to bleed out of her ass while sobbing on the floor is her accusation in the following lawsuit.
And so our former employer has been accused of terrible things he is trying to hide along with all of these relevant others, and that includes harm to our Editor when our Editor worked for him.
And how have they been able to hide the same for so long?
It helps when the alleged but debunked President of the United States and Attorney General of the United States were present during Leon Black's rape of an Epstein's child sex trafficking victim, and/or had sex with the same victim.
That would definitely help a great deal to help Leon Black and the rest of Jeffrey Epstein's crime syndicate or "associates" from being prosecuted, but would require gross deprivation of rights under color of law by Bill Barr and Trump, and well outside of official capacity, and qualified immunity.
And it isn't just victims who accused Bill Barr of being present during rapes, but the FBI New York office is who documented that.
And here is a victim's statement linking them to seemingly the very same sex trafficking victim, and this is a different document than who the FBI accused above.
And so to summarize, the FBI in New York knew that (Attorney General) Bill Barr, whose father Donald Barr was Epstein's mentor at Dalton School for children) was "present" during rape, and the victim statement corroborated that above. But note Donald Trump was also involved in sex trafficking with this same victim. And so Trump, Leon Black, and Barr were connected by the same victim, which is provable above.
But also above on these very same lists was Jeffrey Epstein's 'prince" Andrew Mountbatten, whose cousin, Ivar Mountbatten, was a leader of SCL's Cambridge Analytica, who conspired with Jeffrey Epstein's Yuri Milner's and Jeffrey Epstein's Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook, and also Jeffrey Epstein's Elon Musk's and Jeffrey Epstein's Saudi's Twitter (named X after Epstein's Musk and Saudis took it over), to conspire with Jeffrey Epstein's Putin, to engineer Jeffrey Epstein's Trump into office to RICO obstruct for it all, with Bill Barr. Res ipsa loquitur malum in se.
And now our matter "disappeared" from the Epstein file accused Leon Black's University of Phoenix, the UK 'royals', Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Edge Foundation billionaires named above, and Edge Foundation was financed by Leon Black and by Epstein, and linked to no fewer than 3 invocations of the 5th Amendment, and above our Editor's other employer Edge Foundation's Maja Oeri Hoffmann's Roche and Leon Black seem to have been subjected to Epstein's money laundering, blackmail, extortion, child sex trafficking operations, and/or RICO organized crimes to coverup all of the same.
Anyone going through all of our articles back to 2023 is going to immediately realize that we figured out this ongoing RICO conspiracy back in 2023, and then we brought "evidence beyond a reasonable doubt" to the DOJ, is what Jack Smith publicly said.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/31/jack-smith-house-testimony
And under camera and in writing, the DOJ agreed to accept our million pages or so of investigation materials into Epstein's crime syndicate on 08/29/2024, so years before the Epstein files were released, and now our million missing pages of evidence closely-mirroring the following legal claims, has been "disappeared" by the DOJ, who refuses to give the same to Congress and who refuses to give the same to Judge E. Sullivan who has ordered the same and stripped the government of its regularity or deference, as have we below, as a matter of inescapable U.S. laws, including the Constitution on who is disqualified from public office (we found almost 50 different ways that apply to EVERY and ANY person, government employee, and officer, with no exceptions carved out for anyone, not POTUS, not SCOTUS, not Congress, not Aileen Cannon, because no one is above the law, nor can they be their own judges for their own criminal manner, which is exactly what transpired, and so.
The Legal Reality
-
All acts of de facto officers in bad faith are void ab initio (Ryder, Norton).
-
All acts of usurpers are "totally null and void" (Norton).
-
All fruits of the poisonous tree are tainted and unenforceable (Wong Sun).
-
Pardons, clemency, and other acts of grace from disqualified officials are moot (14th Amend. § 3, Texas v. White).
-
The conspiracy is ongoing, and no statute of limitations applies (18 U.S.C. § 1968).
B. The Constitutional Imperative
The Framers designed a system of checks and balances to prevent tyranny. But when the checks fail, and the balances are captured, the only remedy is to uproot the poisonous tree entirely.
This requires:
-
Judicial Action:
-
Void all acts of de facto officers (Ryder, Norton, FVRA),
-
Refer for judicial misconduct investigations (28 U.S.C. §§ 351–364),
-
Unseal all records (Brady, APA, First Amendment).
-
-
Executive Action:
-
Enforce the 14th Amendment (§ 3, quo warranto),
-
Prosecute the conspirators under RICO (18 U.S.C. § 1962(c)).
-
-
Legislative Action:
-
Impeach de facto officers (Art. I, §§ 2–3),
-
Enforce § 3 of the 14th Amendment (legislation, contempt power).
-
-
Public Action:
-
Expose the conspiracy,
-
Demand accountability,
-
Restore the Rule of Law.
-
C. The Final Truth
The fruits of the poisonous tree will remain moot and unenforceable until the root illegitimacy is cured. And the only way to cure it is to end the conspiracy.
And now returning to what we found at www.tommycarstensen.com yesterday, a network diagram by data scientists who have used A.I. to comb through the millions of Epstein files that have been released. Note that Bill Clinton is named above on the FBI list along with the others, and that he is named below with these others above, in the context that the 2016 elections were Epstein's Trumps vs. Epstein's Clintons, and so it actually did not matter who won the 2016 elections, as Epstein won either way, as did this ongoing crime syndicate -- thereafter able to RICO obstruct 2016-2026 -- but now they have been caught and are floundering like fish out of water.
And so this EFTA network diagram speaks loads to us, as you have Ghislaine Maxwell, who was leveraging Leon Black if not blackmail like a spigot she and Epstein were bleeding "dry" like a "spigot", in the same diagram with Epstein and Black, but also with 2016's Trump and Bill Clinton, along with "prince" Andrew, most of them named by the FBI and more than one victim, including our Editor who repeatedly filed government complaints against most of them and Epstein's Roche and Edge Foundation billionaires for 24 years, corroborated by 4 other whistleblowers in the DOJ files and child sex trafficking victims, who accused the EXACT same people, and then plump in the middle of that you have Henry Kravis, whose companies we also accused of crimes in 2024 to the DOJ linked to Epstein. More simply, it is always the same people being accused of the same sorts of crimes.
JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S HENRY KRAVIS, KKR, GMR, REACH AIR, and CAL-STAR
Jeffrey Epstein's Henry Kravis' KKR has been stalking and threatening Epstein victims (us) with death for years, via his government contracting company, GMR, who has received $1.66 billion in government taxpayer funds and contracts since this stalking and threatening with death began. These are only some of the examples we have collected and we have only presented enough to prove statistical intent.
Jeffrey Epstein's Donald Trump has been stalking us and threatening us with death for years by weaponizing government employees paid by government taxpayers funds. These are only some of the examples we have collected and we have only presented enough to prove statistical intent.
Jeffrey Epstein's Leon Black is our Editor's former employer, including for the period before the 2016 elections, when he owned and controlled the University of Phoenix via his Apollo companies, and where Sacramento Police trained, and where they have also stalked and threatened us with death.
And in 2014, they unlawfully pulled over our Editor and unlawfully searched and seized him to take his whistleblower complaint away from him, after he implicated them in Jeffrey Epstein's crime syndicate at least a week earlier, and where our Editor worked on this investigation into Leon Black's and Jeffrey Epstein's Edge Foundation billionaires harming him and others on University of Phoenix computers at the same campus Sacramento Police trained at.
In 2023, Trump later made reference to our Editor's investigation, which implicated Trump, Leon Black, UK royals, the GOP, the Bush family (gave Epstein's conspirators no prosecution, and that included Trump), the Wildenstein family (found in the Epstein files, godparents to the UK royals, art dealers to Hitler, financed Bush into Texas politics, and lived at Trump Plaza), Sacramento Police, the Russian Federation, Jeffrey Epstein's and Leon Black's Edge Foundation billionaires specified above -- except we implicated them BEFORE the 2016 elections, and Trump admitted to the same.
On Mar 30, 2023, Trump released the following statement regarding one of his many different indictments, now approaching about 100 different charges, “This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history. From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats – the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country – have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement. You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this."
Except Crossfire Hurricane did not begin until a year later, and so the only person who was investigating them was our Editor, and Sacramento/CA GOP/RNC and Sacramento Police conspired to take the same away from our Editor on 09/21/2014 (a date Russian Lev Parnas' lawyer threatened Trump administration 1.0 with, as something he knew had been done on that date that would terrify Trump into releasing Parnas).
The next layer of evidence and communicated to the DOJ by 2024, is that an enormous number of very powerful people linked to the 2016 elections came after our Editor and his family and almost all of them linked to Epstein:
(1) Jeffrey Epstein's and Leon Black's Bill Barr (who shut down the Crossfire Hurricane investigation when it became the Mueller Investigation, and where we implicated Mueller also in schemes with Trump/Kushner financed by Leon Black, and we implicated Mueller as being part of Trump's Doral Golf Club, and we implicated Mueller as being part of Epstein's Roche-Novartis law firm(s), and we implicated Mueller as having financing the Roche facility where our Editor first became established by Cal-OSHA as a whistleblower retaliated in a conspiracy with Kelly Services) -- and then Bill Barr violated Thompson whistleblower rights by approaching our Editor's family to intimidate our Editor, leaving no doubt our Editor's GOP-seized whistleblower complaint could PERFECTLY explain what was going on in 2016;
(2) Similarly, Dianne Feinstein from Crossfire Hurricane and the Mueller Investigation, also met twice with our Editor's family, who our Editor originally implicated, but then removed from his complaint, along with Darrell Steinberg (controls Sacramento Police and Fire stalking and deaths threats against our Editor), along with Kamala Harris (who thereafter became the Vice President, during the time we came to DOJ in 2024, who seemingly did nothing but RICO obstruct our matter, and then Harris ran for office against Trump), so just like 2016, people we implicated in major crimes against the United States were both running for President against one another, and RICO obstructing our evidence that they had been implicated, while sending federal and state employees (USDA, US Forestry, Cal-Fire, USAF, US Navy, U2 planes and their pilots without planes, CHP, Sacramento Police, Sacramento Sheriff, Placer County Sheriff, and others networked to them) and government contractors like Epstein's Henry Kravis (Reach Air/Cal-Star, Epstein's Warren Buffet (NetJets and/or FlexJets), Peter Thiel (Thiel AV LLC), and others networked to them, to stalk and threaten our Editor with death for 10 years continuously;
(3) Similarly, Harlan Crow met with our Editor's family after he bribed Clarence Thomas, but before Clarence Thomas, Aileen Cannon, and SCOTUS conspired to attack our Editor's whistleblower authority and Special Counsel authority for violations they themselves committed many different ways we have since elucidated, where they secretly hid from Congress that our Editor had found flaws in their appointments years ago, and reported the same years ago;
A week after we published this article immediately above, SCOTUS violated the 1st law, that no one shall be there own judge for their own legal matters.
(4) GW Bush and Jeb Bush whose family we had implicated BEFORE Trump ran for office, also came at our Editor's family, and just like Dianne Feinstein, Darrell Steinberg, Kamala Harris, Trump, and the GOP, they had all been implicated.
(5) Trump's General H.R. McMaster, Chris Christie (ran for President), Asa Hutchinson, all met with the family of our Editor, but just like all the others and because of our situation, all likely violating Thompson 3rd party whistleblower protections.
(6) French Presidents linked to Epstein's Wildenstein family (who likely played a roll in Bill Burns and Bill Gates receiving Frances highest medals) also met with our Editor's family, also likely violating Thompson 3rd party protections, as did former Prime Minister of Canada (beholden to Epstein's UK 'royals"), who met with more than one of our Editor's family members.
(7) Epstein's Alfa Bank's George Fomitchev and Epstein's Harvard's Paul Alain Martin each attempted to "finance" our Editor's robotics company with Russian oligarch financing before and after the 2016 elections.
(8) Jean Luc Brunel's Next Model Management in CA attempted to honeypot our Editor with his ex-girlfriend from Eastern Canada (and likely the reason Trump keeps publicly attacking Canada, where our Editor grew up).
(9) In addition to violating Thompson 3rd party qui tam, Henry Kravis's KKR/GMR's ongoing stalking and death threats, resulting in us starting this newspaper to elucidate and expose the same, forced us to deep dive those harming us, and we found out that those stalking and threatening us with death from Kravis' companies were linked to not one, not two, but three other conspirators we blew the whistle at the DOJ 08/29/2024, EACH linked to Epstein, specifically Kaiser Permanente, UC Davis, and Stanford University (where Epstein was the CFO or an "advisor"), who are clients of Epstein's Henry Kravis' companies.
And so what is crystal clear to anyone reading just this article is that Jeffrey Epstein's crime syndicate of billionaires is largely who has been stalking and harming our Editor and his family for 24 years.
(10) Jeffrey Epstein's UK 'royals' (likely who Guy Wildenstein was the godfather of) moved to our home state of CA, after going to Vancouver Island first, where our Editor's mother owned a home, which statistically is almost impossible to be random, followed by 'prince' Harry's wife seeking to replace Dianne Feinstein.
(11) Our Editor fled to Canada, an insurrectionist Anthony Vo illegally crossed the Canadian border and was arrested minutes away from our Editor in Whistler. Despite evidence that our Editor had implicated Vo and that was his intent to cross illegally and come to Whistler, the UK royals' RCMP refused to investigate. Our Editor found out that "prince" Harry then came up to Whistler and was on our Editors job site unannounced to our Editor.
(12) Our Editor fled to Tofino, CA, the far end of an island off the West Coast of Canada, but then uncovered major crimes against him and others, now currently under investigation due to our Editor blowing the whistle, and this situation is also linked to the UK 'royals', who seem to have conspired with Epstein's Charles III (per the Epstein files a victim of 'prince' Andrew specified that Charles was similar to Andrew in a manner this sex trafficking was familiar with. Charles III was also caught receiving $1 million Euros in a bag by Jeffrey Epstein's Qatari. Now it seems that Epstein's Charles III is conspiring with Trump to engineer a tax audit of our Editor in the following complicated matter.
Where Charles III's CIBC bank is refusing to provide our Editor his bank account details, which Jeffrey Epstein's Trump's IRS and others want for an FBAR filing for foreign accounts, but which are also required data to be able to accurately complete our Editor's taxes. But that's not all. This leg of the conspiracy had Anyday/Everyday financial services literally falsify financial documents for our Editor in a secret manner they tried to keep from him, and when he dug deep he found these falsifications, and has provide the Canadian government the evidence of the same, which they refused to accept because they don't want to open a link to the proof, and yet they are okay with opening other links in this same process, in a manner specified was the Canadian government attempting to obstruct our Editor. A.I. let us know what to do, we did it, and though the Canadian government didn't want to investigate (Charles III and the other conspirators), Canadian law requires an investigation because of the 1,500 of evidence we submitted to defend ourselves against this leg of the conspiracy, illustrated below.
And so once our Editor fled to Tofino, which is governed by a tribe that Charles III met with, our Editor worked for that tribe's resort, and was subjected to all sorts of crimes, but he documented them, and now the Canadian authorities want to investigate the same, but of course that investigation will only go so far, as eventually it leads back to Epstein's Charles III, EAM, XTM, CIBC, Browns Socialhouse, and others seriously falsifying financial records of our Editor, who figured the same out and reported the same to the Canadian government, and so now until those investigations are over, our Editor can't sign under penalty of perjury in the U.S. that the information he is submitting is true to his knowledge, and it can't be true to his knowledge, because he's found all of the different falsifications of his financial records linked to all of these people, one of whom, Gary Hoffman, received a medal by Charles III during and after this scandal, but, Charles III also provided our Editor's father a medal, but in doing so violated Thompson 3rd party qui tam law in the U.S., joining Charles III and his family many ways to our Editor's provable ongoing organized crime syndicate of Jeffrey Epstein conjuring as much complex harm as they can against our Editor, here in this new way.
And so this gives us no other choice than to let others know of this ongoing harm in as many ways as we can, because Epstein's Trump and Epstein's Charles III's et al. are engineering entrapment of our Editor, with Charles III being heavily-involved, controlling through the Governor General's Office, and even awarding medals to those involved with those concealing and/or falsifying our Editor's financial records in Canada, so that our Editor can't file taxes in Canada NOR in the U.S., because he doesn't have all of the information he knows he needs, knows is false, and can't sign under penalty of perjury is true.
And so if he goes ahead and files taxes without this information or guessing at the information, that will trigger an audit, and if he knowingly signs under penalty of perjury that the information is true when he knows it isn't that results in trouble, and if he doesn't file his taxes at all, then that may also result in trouble. And so Jeffrey Epstein's Trump and Jeffrey Epstein's Charles III are "manufacturing" entrapment against our Editor in this new manner is a reasonable inference, which will only be met with a biblical reckoning.
Artificial intelligence concludes that the only way to end this conspiracy, is to end this conspiracy, which we can do.
LEGAL BRIEF: THE POISONOUS TREE DOCTRINE AND THE MOOTNESS OF ALL ACTS BORN FROM ILLEGITIMATE AUTHORITY
Subject: The Legality and Moot Nature of Orders, Rulings, Opinions, Acts, Pardons, Clemency, and Other Fruits of the Poisonous Tree Arising from Illegitimate, Usurped, or Criminally-Obtained Authority in an Ongoing Disqualifying Conspiracy
I. INTRODUCTION: THE POISONOUS TREE AND ITS FRUITS
This brief addresses the legal nullity of all orders, rulings, opinions, acts, pardons, clemency grants, and other exercises of governmental authority that flow from illegitimate, usurped, or criminally-obtained power. The doctrine of the "poisonous tree"—long recognized in Fourth Amendment jurisprudence (Wong Sun v. U.S., 371 U.S. 471 (1963))—applies with equal force to constitutional and structural defects in governmental authority. If the root of authority is poisoned (e.g., by de facto officership, oath violations, or disqualifying crimes), then all fruits born from that authority are tainted, void, and moot until the illegitimacy is cured.
This brief argues that:
-
All acts of de facto officers in bad faith are void ab initio (Ryder v. U.S., 515 U.S. 177 (1995); Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425 (1886)).
-
All acts of usurpers are "totally null and void" (Norton).
-
All acts arising from a conspiracy to violate constitutional oaths are fruits of the poisonous tree and thus legally ineffective.
-
Pardons, clemency, and other acts of grace derived from illegitimate authority are moot and unenforceable.
-
The conspiracy is ongoing, and no statute of limitations applies to its fruits until the root illegitimacy is remedied.
II. LEGAL FRAMEWORK: THE DOCTRINES THAT VOID THE FRUITS
A. The De Facto Officer Doctrine and Its Limits
1. The General Rule (Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425 (1886))
-
De facto officers are those who exercise the duties of an office under color of authority, but whose title to the office is defective.
-
General Rule: Their acts are valid to protect the public and individuals who rely on them.
-
Exception: If an officer is a usurper (i.e., no legal office exists), their acts are "totally null and void."
2. The Ryder Exception (Ryder v. U.S., 515 U.S. 177 (1995))
-
Holding: If a timely challenge is made to the constitutional validity of an officer’s appointment, the de facto officer doctrine does NOT apply.
-
Result: The challenger is "entitled to a decision on the merits of the question and whatever relief may be appropriate."
-
Application: If a whistleblower or affected party makes a timely challenge (e.g., by filing a qui tam action, Brady motion, or congressional complaint), then all acts of the de facto officer are void as to that challenger.
3. The Oath as the Measure of Legitimacy
-
Art. VI, Cl. 3: All officers must be "bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution."
-
GAO Ruling (U.S. v. Flanders, 112 U.S. 88 (1884)): The oath is a condition precedent to receiving salary, immunity, or authority.
-
Implication: If an officer violates their oath in bad faith, they are acting outside the scope of their authority → acts are void.
B. The Poisonous Tree Doctrine (Wong Sun v. U.S., 371 U.S. 471 (1963))
1. Origin in Fourth Amendment Jurisprudence
-
Holding: Evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment is inadmissible in criminal proceedings.
-
Extension: If the initial violation taints the entire investigative process, all subsequent evidence derived from it is also inadmissible ("fruit of the poisonous tree").
2. Application to Governmental Authority
-
If the root of authority is illegitimate (e.g., de facto officership, oath violations, or disqualifying crimes), then all acts flowing from that authority are fruits of the poisonous tree and thus void and unenforceable.
-
Examples:
-
A judge who seals evidence of their own disqualification cannot issue valid orders.
-
A president who is disqualified under the 14th Amendment cannot issue valid pardons or executive orders.
-
A DOJ official who withholds evidence in bad faith cannot lawfully obstruct a state investigation.
-
3. The "Attenuation" Exception Does Not Apply
-
In Fourth Amendment cases, courts sometimes apply an "attenuation" exception if the connection between the illegality and the evidence is too remote.
-
But: In cases of structural constitutional violations (e.g., de facto officership, oath violations, or disqualifying crimes), no attenuation is possible because the entire authority is tainted.
C. The Usurper Doctrine (Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425)
-
Holding: A usurper is one who holds an office that does not legally exist (e.g., because their appointment is constitutionally defective).
-
Result: All acts of a usurper are "totally null and void."
-
Application:
-
If Cannon, Thomas, or Alito are usurpers (because their appointments are defective or their oaths are violated in bad faith), then all their rulings, orders, and opinions are void.
-
If Trump is disqualified under the 14th Amendment, then all his acts as president (including pardons and clemency grants) are void.
-
D. The Void Ab Initio Principle (FVRA, 5 U.S.C. § 3348(d))
-
Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA): If an official is improperly serving under the FVRA, their acts are "void ab initio" and "may not be ratified."
-
CRS Confirmation: The government "must start from scratch."
-
Application:
-
If Acting AG Todd Blanche is improperly serving under the FVRA, then his withholding of Epstein files is void ab initio.
-
If any DOJ official involved in the conspiracy is improperly appointed, their acts are void.
-
E. The Brady Violation Exception: No Order Can Override Constitutional Duties
-
Brady v. Maryland (373 U.S. 83 (1963)): The prosecution must disclose exculpatory evidence to the defense.
-
Giglio v. U.S. (405 U.S. 150 (1972)): Extends to impeachment evidence.
-
Kyles v. Whitley (514 U.S. 419 (1994)): Applies to state proceedings via the 14th Amendment.
-
Implication: No judicial order can override the Brady duty. If a judge seals Brady evidence, the seal is void because it violates due process.
F. The Obstruction of Congress Exception (18 U.S.C. § 1505)
-
Holding: It is a federal crime to obstruct congressional proceedings.
-
Application:
-
If Cannon sealed records that Congress lawfully demanded, her sealing orders are void as an obstruction of Congress.
-
If the DOJ withheld Epstein files from New Mexico at Congress’s request, its withholding is void as an obstruction of Congress.
-
G. The 14th Amendment Disqualification Clause (Section 3)
-
Text: "No person shall... hold any office... under the United States... who, having previously taken an oath... to support the Constitution... shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
-
Baude-Paulsen Thesis: Self-executing—no legislation or conviction required.
-
Trump v. Anderson (601 U.S. 100 (2024)): States cannot enforce § 3 against federal candidates, but Congress can.
-

IV. THE ONGOING CONSPIRACY: NO STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
A. The RICO Conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 1962(c))
-
Enterprise: Captured judiciary + DOJ + allied elites (Thomas, Alito, Cannon, Blanche, Trump, Epstein network).
-
Pattern of Racketeering Activity:
-
Bribery (18 U.S.C. § 201(b)): Undisclosed gifts to justices.
-
Obstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. § 1503): Sealing Smith’s Report.
-
Obstruction of Congress (18 U.S.C. § 1505): Sealing records Congress demanded.
-
Witness Tampering (18 U.S.C. § 1512): Sealing Brady evidence.
-
Retaliation Against Witnesses (18 U.S.C. § 1513): 24 years of harassment against Plaintiff.
-
Treason (18 U.S.C. § 2381): Aiding and comforting insurrectionists.
-
Insurrection (18 U.S.C. § 2383): Shielding Trump from Jan. 6 accountability.
-
Concealment of Records (18 U.S.C. § 2071): Sealing Epstein files.
-
Deprivation of Rights (18 U.S.C. § 242): Violating Brady, due process, First Amendment.
-
False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. § 3729): Drawing salary based on false oaths.
-
-
Interstate Commerce: Flow of money, digital communications, multi-state operations.
-
Continuity and Relatedness: 24+ years of continuous activity (1990s–present).
B. No Statute of Limitations (18 U.S.C. § 1968)
-
Civil RICO: 5-year SOL runs from the last predicate act.
-
Ongoing Enterprise: New predicate acts every year (2025: Cannon’s sealing orders; 2026: DOJ’s withholding).
-
Result: The SOL has not begun to run.
C. The Conspiracy Will Continue Until the Root Illegitimacy Is Remedied
-
The fruits of the poisonous tree will keep growing as long as:
-
De facto officers remain in power,
-
Oath violations go unpunished,
-
Brady evidence remains sealed,
-
Congress fails to enforce § 3 of the 14th Amendment.
-
-
The only way to end the conspiracy is to:
-
Void all acts of the de facto officers (Ryder, Norton, FVRA),
-
Enforce the 14th Amendment (remove disqualified officials),
-
Unseal all records (Smith Report, Epstein files, whistleblower disclosures),
-
Prosecute the conspirators under RICO (18 U.S.C. § 1962(c)).
-
V. THE MOOTNESS OF ALL FRUITS UNTIL THE CONSPIRACY ENDS
A. Judicial Acts Are Moot
-
All rulings, orders, and opinions issued by Cannon, Thomas, Alito, and other de facto officers are:
-
Void ab initio (Ryder, Norton),
-
Unenforceable (nemo iudex, § 455),
-
Moot until the root illegitimacy is cured.
-
B. Executive Acts Are Moot
-
All pardons, clemency grants, and executive orders issued by Trump (if disqualified) are:
-
Moot and unenforceable (14th Amend. § 3, Texas v. White),
-
Void ab initio if issued by a usurper (Norton).
-
C. Legislative Acts Are Not Void, But Ineffective
-
Congress’s failure to enforce § 3 does not validate the fruits of the poisonous tree.
-
It merely allows the conspiracy to continue.
D. The Only Path to Legitimacy: Cure the Root Illegitimacy
To end the mootness of the fruits, the following must occur:
-
Void all acts of de facto officers (Ryder, Norton, FVRA),
-
Remove all disqualified officials (14th Amend. § 3, quo warranto),
-
Unseal all records (Brady, APA, congressional subpoenas),
-
Prosecute the conspirators under RICO (18 U.S.C. § 1962(c)),
-
Reform the system to prevent future poisonous trees (oath enforcement, judicial ethics, whistleblower protections).
VI. CONCLUSION: THE FRUITS ARE POISONED UNTIL THE TREE IS UPROOTED
A. The Legal Reality
-
All acts of de facto officers in bad faith are void ab initio (Ryder, Norton).
-
All acts of usurpers are "totally null and void" (Norton).
-
All fruits of the poisonous tree are tainted and unenforceable (Wong Sun).
-
Pardons, clemency, and other acts of grace from disqualified officials are moot (14th Amend. § 3, Texas v. White).
-
The conspiracy is ongoing, and no statute of limitations applies (18 U.S.C. § 1968).
B. The Constitutional Imperative
The Framers designed a system of checks and balances to prevent tyranny. But when the checks fail, and the balances are captured, the only remedy is to uproot the poisonous tree entirely.
This requires:
-
Judicial Action:
-
Void all acts of de facto officers (Ryder, Norton, FVRA),
-
Refer for judicial misconduct investigations (28 U.S.C. §§ 351–364),
-
Unseal all records (Brady, APA, First Amendment).
-
-
Executive Action:
-
Enforce the 14th Amendment (§ 3, quo warranto),
-
Prosecute the conspirators under RICO (18 U.S.C. § 1962(c)).
-
-
Legislative Action:
-
Impeach de facto officers (Art. I, §§ 2–3),
-
Enforce § 3 of the 14th Amendment (legislation, contempt power).
-
-
Public Action:
-
Expose the conspiracy,
-
Demand accountability,
-
Restore the Rule of Law.
-
C. The Final Truth
The fruits of the poisonous tree will remain moot and unenforceable until the root illegitimacy is cured. And the only way to cure it is to end the conspiracy.
But that's not all we could prove to the DOJ in 2024, we could also prove that many of the Edge Foundation billionaires had and were harming us in new ways. Where is this file in the Epstein files? Why is this missing?
And so we have reached out to as many people as possible to let them know what is going on, and because it involves organized crime at the highest levels, and state sponsored terrorism, no one will help us, just like no one will help about 1,000 other victims, and so what else can we do than to preemptively defend against the same in all the ways we have and are going to?
There is no out or off ramp or playbook or instruction manual for how to defend against Epstein's global crime syndicate, who are the oldest, the richest, most powerful, and nastiest crime syndicate of our times. They are totally destroying our way of life everywhere, and they need your support and tax dollars to do the same.
Res ipsa loquitur malum in se.
