False Academic Credentials - Introduction
Christine O Gregoire, Ronald A Johnson, and Phyllis M Wise
Case studies address repugnant moral and ethical behavior encountered in
US universities also Washington Judiciary and Executive Branch
during many years as a corporate CEO and professor.

Machiavellian principles have applied at University of Washington also within
This series of articles especially relates to malfeasance by Christine O Gregoire, Governor, State of Washington (WA) and Mark A Emmert, President, University of Washington (UW). It exposes officials in the executive and judicial branches of government, especially judges who have committed gross judicial misconduct by ex parte contact and opined on issues not in evidence for political expedience. It discusses public officials who hold no post-graduate academic degrees or other qualifications that a reasonable person would expect for employment in high government office. Particularly, it names officials who have included falsified academic credentials in election campaign material, submitted falsified applications for taxpayer-funded employment, and obtained academic promotion through Easy Rider degrees and political machination - now a criminal offense in State of Washington. A person who falsely claims to possess a credential issued by an institution of higher education to gain a position in government commits a gross misdemeanor. In State of Washington, a gross misdemeanor carries with it maximum punishment of one year imprisonment and/or $5,000 fine. That does not take into account punishment for malfeasance. The term "malfeasance" means misconduct or wrongdoing, especially by a public official. It refers, with associated expressions "misfeasance" and "nonfeasance", to neglect in discharging public obligations under common law or statutes. "Impunity" means exemption from penalty and freedom from punishment for malfeasance and other crimes. [Impunity] Academic harassment defines as behavior by university administrators, the executive branch of government, and the judiciary which: unreasonably interferes with faculty member, public intellectual, or student academic performance and freedom of expression both on or off campus; distributes verbal, written or electronic communication with the intent to annoy; interferes with the operation of computer systems; causes unlawful arrest; creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment; directs ad hominem remarks with intent to demean, belittle, or cause personal humiliation or embarrassment; threatens, intimidates, or coerces for unlawful purposes.

Faculty members and students avoid Ronald Allan Johnson like they would avoid a plague. They fear the damage that he can do to their careers and several of them classified him as a sociopath. Johnson’s lack of credentials give some reason for his psychotic desire to destroy the careers of people who have more experience and qualifications than he can possibly achieve himself. Semi-literate, he has manipulated himself into a top university job through guile and false academic credentials. [Sociopathic Trio] [Psychopath]
Johnson started work at University of Washington (UW) as an Associate Vice President, Computers and Communication (01 Nov 86) at a salary of $106,704.00/pa. He possesses virtually none of the experience and academic qualifications that he has since claimed and published. Emmert inherited him from former President Richard L McCormick in 2004 and increased his salary from $252,000.00 to $321,684.00, an increase of $69,684.00 (27.65%/4). Johnson received about double the salary paid to a full professor with tenure. He gradually leveraged salary increases by adding other false academic credentials to his curriculum vitae.
Somewhere along the way (circa 1995), Johnson obtained an appointment as clinical (adjunct) professorship (without possessing a baccalaureate or terminal degree) and without any of the medical qualifications for the position as generally defined at that time. The term “clinical professor” (a misnomer) now generally applies to non-tenured faculty but a decade ago applied to visiting medical faculty members.
Universities frequently approved clinical appointments for visiting professors (not staff members) who held a primary appointment with an outside agency or non-academic unit. If the appointment related to another university, then clinical faculty needed senior professorial rank at the primary institution to qualify for the clinical appointment. Johnson held none of those qualifications.
Johnson now receives three times his original salary (five times the average tenured professorial salary). He had virtually no academic qualifications to justify his later appointment as an associate professor with tenure or in any other capacity unless writing technical ballyhoo and vandalizing computer systems qualifies him. Investigation into his academic experience revealed extensive academic fraud and a close examination of UW payroll records showed evidence of quid pro quo with fast-track promotions using easy-rider criteria.

False Academic Credentials In Washington state, a person who falsely claims to possess a credential issued by an institution of higher education to gain a government-funded position commits a gross misdemeanor which carries with it maximum punishment of one year imprisonment and/or $5,000 fine. That punishment does not take into account penalties for multiple malfeasance after receiving due process of law, a right that Johnson has denied to others. If administrators in taxpayer-funded institutions take no action on issues that come within their purview when they discover that a felony exists, then they become liable with the person who committed the felony. In Washington state, issuing a false academic credential or concealing the fact that one exists classifies as a class C felony punishable by confinement in a state correctional institution for five years, or by a fine of ten thousand dollars, or by both.

The Validation Process
A reasonable person must ask how Johnson could double-dip as a tenured associate professor and as Vice President, Information Technology at a $321,684.00/pa salary without possessing either a baccalaureate or terminal degree. To justify his academic claims, Johnson retroactively published false academic credentials in a variety of publications.
Registrars at several universities cooperated in validating either degrees or exposing fraudulent claims. Others have silently withheld information to cover up the dilemma caused by Johnson’s fraud despite federal law that allows disclosure of directory information for degree validation (or refutation).
Investigation into four decades of fraud by Johnson reveals that he never earned a baccalaureate or terminal degree although a string of universities have admitted him to post-graduate study; moreover, UW appointed him associate professor with tenure. Registrars at other universities refused either to validate or refute Johnson’s claims. Evidence shows that he repeatedly steered his way through the academic degree validation process without essential degrees. [20 USC § 1232g, Family Educational and Privacy Rights Act (FERPA)].
University of California, San Diego (circa 1968-70). No degree.
UCSD officials cannot or will not validate a baccalaureate degree and University of Chicago records indicate that Johnson never earned one although he attended both UCSD and U Chicago. According to U Chicago records, Johnson claimed that he attended University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for a short period. Candace Garner, Office of the Registrar, UCSD would not confirm attendance and tried to send the author on a wild-goose chase to third parties. Seven requests to Marye Anne Fox, Chancellor and Michael Dabney, Director, News Media and Public Relations, for validation of a degree and dates of attendance met with no response. Robust investigation revealed that Johnson attended UCSD; however, no evidence exists that Johnson ever earned a baccalaureate degree and he has not shown that he holds one.
University of Chicago. MA Philosophy (1972). Degree validated.
University of Chicago (UC) registrar confirmed that Johnson holds a masters degree (MA 1972 - Philosophy) but could not explain how he obtained it without first earning a baccalaureate degree. Evidently, UC admitted Johnson to the Humanities Graduate Division without an undergraduate degree and he attended (28 Sep 70) through (01 Sep 72) (6 quarters). He has since used this philosophy degree to leverage his way into a tenured, technology associate professorship and an information technology vice president position at $0.32 million/pa.
University of Chicago. PhD Candidate/ABD, Philosophy of Science and Logic (1974). No degree.
University of Chicago registrar stated that Johnson registered in a PhD program for two quarters then dropped out - an experience that certainly does not qualify him to claim PhD ABD status. Normally, PhD ABD (All But Dissertation) requires completion of all formal degree requirements, verified and endorsed by the department granting the degree, except for approval of the dissertation by the doctoral committee and a public defense.

Prior Restraint and Internet Crimes Governor Christine Gregoire and UW President Mark Emmert permitted a series of Internet crimes in violation of a Washington Supreme Court decision that protects Contra Cabal from prior restraint. Instead of responding to words with more words, they permitted UW technicians to harass the publisher. They destroyed media with intent to prevent exposure of myriad criminal activity by government and university employees. University of Washington, Information Technology used a proxy server in Washington DC for massive web site flooding in another attempt to crash Contra Cabal sites (17 Jun 08). State employees used multiple denial-of-service attacks which caused $500,000 actual plus inestimable collateral damage to computers, databases, applications, and networks in both US and EU. They then prevented this article and others from appearing on the Internet for 21 months. Additional diagnostics and system repairs cost more than $10,000.00 plus cost of collateral damage to associated web sites, subscriber databases, and mailing applications. |

University of Southern California. MS Information Sciences (1975). No degree.
Johnson claimed to have received a two-year USC MS degree, Information Sciences (1975) when he spent only one year at USC. University of Chicago registrar verified that he did not leave Chicago until one year before (23 Mar 74) after dropping out of a PhD program after two quarters. Asked to either validate that Johnson earned the USC MS degree or deny that it existed, both Sample and Morley evaded a response.
University of Southern California (USC) neither confirmed nor denied that Johnson holds a masters degree from that institution. Six attempts to obtain an answer from Steven B Sample, President and Robert Morley, Associate Registrar/Tuition Exchange Liaison have resulted in a string of false and misleading statements by Morley.
Sample has ignored three requests for intervention which condones Morley’s contravention of federal law and USC regulations. Morley even denied that USC published rules had validity although he received the normal information generally expected by registrars.
Morley claimed that he could not identify someone with the last name “Johnson” despite having the full name and other information: “Ronald Allan Johnson MS USC (1975). Approximate age 59 years DOB circa 1949. Degree with an information sciences major”. Several other universities immediately identified him from the same information. Morley then said: "In this case we are willing to release information but you are unwilling or unable to provide the necessary information needed to correctly identify the person” - a contradiction and fallacious statement in which he tries to transfer his own incompetence onto the author.
University of California, Los Angeles. MA (1977-82). No degree.
Johnson claimed that: "[He] started his technology leadership career at UCLA . . ."; however, Brenda Moore, a University of California, Los Angeles registrar neither verified nor replied to three requests for validation. She would not provide directory information about degrees earned by Johnson and/or employment history although Johnson claimed academic experience at that university.
Further inquiry to Robert C. Dynes, President, UCLA resulted in a response by Carol Stogsdill, Senior Executive Director, Office of Media Relations, UCLA. Stogsdill stated that: "Ronald Allan Johnson attended UCLA as a graduate student from September 1977 to March 1982. His major was Management. He received no degrees from UCLA".
Stogsdill referred further questions to Frances Thompson, Records Coordinator, UCLA Office of Information Practices who spent several weeks considering the questions then refused to answer them:
1. How did Johnson gain admission to a graduate program at UCLA without possessing an undergraduate degree?
2. What was the title of the program and name of the school or college?
3. What academic criteria did he present when he applied for admission to that program?
4. Would successful completion of the Management major have resulted in an MBA?
5. What were the actual dates of full-time attendance?
6. What is Johnson's date and place of birth?
7. It seems very unusual for a student without an undergraduate degree to spend five years enrolled in a two-year graduate program then drop out. Will you please give me an explanation?
Instead of answering the questions, Thompson evaded the issues by creating another spin by photocopying inapplicable legal language in an unacceptable general denial. This action which arguably construed as an unlawful cover-up of malfeasance became a matter for consideration at a higher level and the matter went to the UCLA Chancellor for consideration. Gene Block, Chancellor UCLA adopted a policy of willful blindness by not responding to the issues caused by Thompson’s evasion of the questions.
1. Published excerpt. Johnson claimed that: "[He] started his technology leadership career at UCLA . . ."; however, Brenda Moore, a University of California, Los Angeles registrar neither verified nor replied to three requests under 20 USC § 1232g, Family Educational and Privacy Rights Act (FERPA). She would not provide directory information about degrees earned by Johnson and/or employment history although Johnson claimed academic experience at that university. Further inquiry to Robert C. Dynes, President, UCLA resulted in a response by Carol Stogsdill, Senior Executive Director, Office of Media Relations, UCLA. Stogsdill stated that: "Ronald Allan Johnson attended UCLA as a graduate student from September 1977 to March 1982. His major was Management. He received no degrees from UCLA".
2. UCLA has refused to answer questions relating to employment of a public official knowing that they relate to investigation of academic credential crimes.
3. UCLA has arbitrarily withheld information pursuant to California Government Code Section 6255, stating that records need not be produced where the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest served in disclosure of the records and have decided what is in the public good by frustrating media inquiries into what Stogsdill has effectively admitted are fraudulent statements about his academic credentials by Johnson.
4. UCLA has preempted the public right to know by arbitrarily restricting the release of public information to media knowing that it relates to an alleged felonious act. Arguably, this makes UCLA an accessory after the fact. Moreover, UCLA has made a general denial without controverting all the declarations and assertions (averments) in the rejected request as common law requires; UCLA has used a narrow construction when responses of this type generally require liberal construction, at least until a judge says otherwise.
5. UCLA arbitrarily determined what constitutes a right to privacy and have decided that the records requested seek personal information relating to an individual the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy. UCLA claims that the interest in protecting the personal privacy rights of the individual (an alleged criminal) outweighs any public interest in disclosure, and thus, the records will not be disclosed. By that statement, UCLA has decided that the privacy rights of alleged criminals override the public right to know.
Associate Vice President, Computing and Communications. (1 Nov 86)
Vice President, Information Technology (Computing and Communications) (circa ?).
Clinical Faculty (Adjunct Faculty) (circa 1987 -1997).
Associate Professor, University of Washington (circa 1998 -2008).
Todd B Mildon, UW Registrar has withheld all validation information. Dates obtained from other sources pending validation by UW Office of Public Records.
Johnson claims: "[He] is a tenured faculty member at the University of Washington with appointments in the Information School and Department of Computer Science and Engineering" yet he evidently does not hold a degree in information technology. Three requests went to each Phyllis M Wise, Provost and Executive Vice President, University of Washington ($336,384.00); Matthew O'Donnell, Dean, College of Engineering ($280,008.00); Harry Bruce, Dean, The Information School ($161,280.00); and Henry M Levy, Chair, Computer Science and Engineering ($209,064.00); to clarify anomalies caused by Johnson's claim to hold qualifications for his appointment as associate professor with tenure in two UW schools.
The inquiries met with quadruple willful blindness in the same way that Emmert has remained silent about the malfeasance that he inherited. Instead of addressing the alleged credential crimes, Emmert has consistently promoted perpetrators with obscene salary increases.
The registrar, Todd B Mildon classifies as a state official for purposes of dereliction and malfeasance. In Seattle Post-Intelligencer, State Takes Stand Against Phonies (21 Jun 06), Ruth Teichroeb wrote: University of Washington registrar Todd Mildon said he is consulting with the Attorney General's Office to decide how they can use the new law to discourage degree fraud.

Mildon told Teichroeb: that addressing fraudulent academic credentials under the new law ranks as: “one of my [his] higher priorities”. Instead, Mildon has done nothing to investigate charges and arrange indictment with the attorney general for forged academic credentials filed by his predecessor Van E Johnson, Registrar and Frank M. Byrdwell, Assistant Registrar.
Van Johnson and Byrdwell consorted with the late Marsha L Landolt, Dean and Elizabeth L Feetham, Associate Dean, Graduate School, in bribery and forgery. Instead of addressing the issues, Mildon affiliated with Phyllis M Wise, Provost and Executive Vice President and Virjean H Edwards, Assistant Registrar to withhold first-party records that prove those crimes. Mildon has also withheld documents for degree validation and investigation of suspected credential frauds which include Mildon’s own academic and professional records.
Apart from falsifying other documents, Landolt and Feetham bribed a classified employee to do their dirty work by signing forged documents for them. Later, realizing that the employee did not have the authority to sign, they retroactively promoted her to professional staff to cover their mistake - a second bribe. That should count for a few years in jail for Feetham. Landolt has already gone to hell. [RCW 9A.60.020]
Neither has Mildon filed a complaint with Attorney General Rob McKenna that enables him to arrange for the Superior Court to call a grand jury or petition the Supreme Court for an order appointing a special inquiry judge as recommended by former Washington Governor Gary Locke. Gregoire has consistently stonewalled a filing. Locke recommended an investigation by the Washington Organized Crime Advisory Board with a view to naming a special prosecutor to indict University of Washington officials for record forgery and for filing false and misleading documents.
Recently, Mark A Emmert condoned dereliction by Mildon when he covered up an alleged gross misdemeanor by Gregoire. He did not validate her academic credentials during an investigation of fraudulent election claims. Other sources provided information which indicates that she claimed credentials which she does not possess. Similarly, Karen W Morse (President, Western Washington University - WWU) condoned dereliction by Joseph St Hilaire (WWU Registrar) when he covered up Judge Mary Kay Becker’s gross misdemeanor by neglecting to validate her credentials. Becker has a litany of false academic credential claims.
[False Academic Credentials - Christine O Gregoire/Mary Kay Becker]
University deans or department heads who knowingly participate in the granting or sustaining of false credentials become accessories before or after the fact when they give assistance to someone alleged to have committed a felony. Submitting false academic credentials or neglect to act when they know about other crimes involves them in the crime. They also commit a crime if they knowingly grant or award a false academic credential or misrepresent that a credit earned or granted by another person applies to promotion or appointment to a faculty or government position. At law, they rank as accomplices in the commission of crimes even if they take no part in the actual offenses.

Together the monkeys “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”. The three-wise-monkey maxim describes the demeanor at University of Washington. O’Donnell covers his eyes; Bruce covers his ears; Levy covers his mouth; while Wise has her head up her ass. The willful blindness and deafness, combined with political expedience, leaves the College of Engineering with no means to address malfeasance and allows out of control cyber skunks to rule a chthonic jungle. |
||
Neglect to take action, having knowledge furnished to them by third parties, could make UW officials: Wise, O'Donnell, Bruce, and Levy, accessories to past crimes allegedly committed by Johnson or other administrators and faculty members. Despite multiple requests, they have taken no action to stop ongoing criminal activity although they hold that responsibility by virtue of their various administrative and academic appointments. They have also ignored requests for public information and validation of academic credentials which compounds their involvement in illegal activity.
University of Washington (UW) has specific procedures governed by Revised Code of Washington (RCW) and Washington Administrative Codes (WAC). Although the university has a degree of autonomy or self-government, it remains accountable in law and Federal regulations govern all aspects of constitutional and human rights. All administrators and faculty members remain accountable to the State of Washington and by extension US Government. Administrators receiving state salaries or managing Federal financial aid and sponsored programs classify as state actors and must comply with both Federal and State of Washington laws.
Ironically, the author worked in information technology when Johnson still needed his diapers changing. Johnson claims to have: ". . . worked nationally to help create the original Internet, and more recently Internet 2. No evidence exists that he acted as a prime mover in either of those enterprises. The author used the original Internet to review Mosaic (Germany 1985) research as a graphic arts expert and reviewer. He also invented and marketed one of the first commercial desktop publishing systems (US 1973) but does not claim to have created the Internet!
The irony comes into play when one considers that Johnson has survived using fraudulent credentials endorsed by the same administrators that maliciously destroyed the author’s valid credentials - an issue that Gregoire has had on her desk for twelve years and Emmert and Wise neglect to investigate. [Psychopath] [Ravening Sociopath] [Sociopathic Trio]
Gregoire has not instituted procedures for reparation for unlawful jailing; eviction; property removal; computer damage; and destruction of academic research databases; instead, in a consort with other public officials she has denied due process of law; the right to earn a living; and has continued to participate in ongoing harassment and Internet denial-of-service attacks for twelve years - all violations of US Constitution and United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

Washington Supreme Court Decision (30 Mar 06) In a unanimous decision by nine judges, Washington Supreme Court concluded that Doerty abused his discretion in restraining the author from contacting nonparties and in adding content restrictions to a frivolous antiharassment order brought by Mitchell. It also concluded that the Doerty erred in multiple findings of contempt of court. It reversed the draconian trial and appellate decisions which resulted in the author spending time in jail. All the contempt motions based upon alleged violations of the original flawed and unconstitutional anti-harassment order. The trial court denied the author his right to counsel and jailed him for 111 days (including 25 days in solitary confinement where he suffered torture at the hands of King County Jail guards). [Metamorphosis] Supreme Court found that Doerty had absolutely no justification for refusing a continuance and neglecting to provide legal counsel. It reversed all trial and appellate court decisions. By failing to address judicial misconduct by Doerty, Judge Mary Kay Becker, Washington Court of Appeals condoned prior restraint, constructive eviction from a residence, and jail time, without considering constitutional rights. Council House and King County have not made reparation for unlawful incarceration without charge or trial for almost four months in the same way that University of Washington have not addressed myriad administrative abuse and breach of contract over two decades. Instead, both entities continue their harassment using web site and computer sabotage which construes as criminal malicious mischief. |

Bizarre Finale
Christine O Gregoire ($150,996.00/pa) covered up myriad crimes at University of Washington as both attorney general and governor. Although kept regularly apprised of crimes committed by Ronald A Johnson and other officials at University of Washington (UW) over a twelve-year period, Gregoire has allowed criminal activity to multiple. She continues to ignore facts and to deny due process of law.
|
Blindness |
|||
|
In law, the term "willful blindness" means contrived ignorance. Officials seek to evade civil or criminal liability by feigning ignorance of facts that involve personal liability. |
 |
||
|
Incompetence |
Phyllis M Wise, Provost and Executive Vice President, University of Washington ($336,384.00/pa), the person now responsible for administration at UW, continues to maintain political silence which allows malfeasance by Johnson (who reports to her) to continue. Despite knowledge that he indulges in criminal activity on a daily basis she practices willful blindness which arguably makes her an accessory after the fact. Wise condoned prior restraint by neglecting to reverse restriction on publication caused by Internet denial-of-service attacks over an extended period. The evident objective, an unlawful means to cover up malfeasance by university officials which includes myriad use of false academic credentials. [Willful Blindness]
In particular, Wise has done nothing to reverse the unlawful prior restraint (15 Jun 08) in which UW technicians vandalized Contra Cabal File Transfer Protocols (FTP) to make them unusable. Coincidentally, they deleted a web page which described sociopathic behavior by James A Doerty (King County), Ronald A Johnson (University of Washington), and Stephen A Mitchell (Council House), three of the people involved in web vandalism.
[Sociopathic Trio] [Psychopath]
Pages to update or restore sabotaged articles and collateral web sites could not upload to the Internet until after replacement of applications and repair of systems. The vandals damaged network software and hardware which required a visit by telephone company and ISP engineers. For this single attack, diagnostics and system repairs cost $10,000.00 not including the cost of collateral damage to associated web sites and newsletters.

Since publication of The Namesake (6 Jun 08), University of Washington, Information Technology has again maliciously damaged subscriber mailing systems, opt-in/opt-out applications, and Internet connections making them inoperable. Repair and restoration took three days at a cost in excess of $6,000.00. This single offense defines as malicious mischief in the first degree, a class B felony punishable by confinement in a state correctional institution for a term of ten years, or by a fine in an amount fixed by the court of twenty thousand dollars, or by both such confinement and fine. [The Namesake] Neither Mark A Emmert, President nor Phyllis M Wise, Provost and Executive Vice President, University of Washington have answered complaints about myriad similar Internet denial-of-service attacks; instead they have used willful blindness to evade civil or criminal liability. They have feigned ignorance of facts to evade their personal responsibility to investigate and insure prosecution of malfeasants. [Internet DoS Attacks] Definitions for the purpose of RCW 9A.48.070 through 9A.48.090 inclusive: (1) "Physical damage", in addition to its ordinary meaning, shall include the total or partial alteration, damage, obliteration, or erasure of records, information, data, computer programs, or their computer representations, which are recorded for use in computers or the impairment, interruption, or interference with the use of such records, information, data, or computer programs, or the impairment, interruption, or interference with the use of any computer or services provided by computers. "Physical damage" also includes any diminution in the value of any property as the consequence of an act; (2) If more than one item of property is physically damaged as a result of a common scheme or plan by a person and the physical damage to the property would, when considered separately, constitute mischief in the third degree because of value, then the value of the damages may be aggregated in one count. If the sum of the value of all the physical damages exceeds two hundred fifty dollars, the defendant may be charged with and convicted of malicious mischief in the second degree. [RCW 9A.48.100] Following publication of this notice (9 Jun 06), UW IT employees launched another felonious DoS attack which shut down all communication systems for one day. Restoration of service and additional operating costs amounted to $2,000.00 plus inestimable collateral damage. UW IT repeated the DoS attack (12 Jun 08) which confirmed a pattern or practice of programmed vandalism every three days. |

Emmert and Wise have allowed vandalism to continue contrary to the unanimous decision by Washington Supreme Court that removed previous unlawful prior restraints imposed upon the author. They have received multiple notices about the need to reverse the damage and have the means and opportunity to do so.
Gregoire and Wise received facsimile prepublication copies as confirmation of prior restraint pending removal of publication impediments by them. Wise must reverse all systems vandalism since she received the first warning (29 Jan 08) because it constitutes an unlawful prior restraint. Computer and Internet vandalism classifies as a federal crime.
Publishing defines as the process of production and dissemination of literature or information by making it available for public view. It involves the process of identifying specific versions or sections in an edition and then delivering the material to subscribers. In some cases, authors publish their own material either in print or electronically. Deliberately preventing that delivery construes as prior restraint.
The term "prior restraint" describes regulation of content before publication - an unprincipled action which denies rights guaranteed to everyone by the First Amendment to the US Constitution. It particularly applies to the denial of a journalist's constitutional right to gather and publish information or opinions without institutional control or fear of reprisal.
That freedom applies to both the electronic and print media and denies censorship or prior restraint to either institutions or individuals. Moreover, government (and especially universities) have an obligation to protect the free exchange of ideas and afford equal rights and privileges to all despite heterodox opinion. Both prior restraint and censorship place exclusive conditions on freedom of expression.
Any type of censorship restricts language to narrowly defined criteria; then politically correct ideologies force everyone to learn the same way, to teach the same way, to research the same way, to discourse the same way, and to write the same way. Subsequently, conformity destroys any vestige of individuality. The exclusivity forces everyone to become a clone of someone else. That cloning enables those in power to deny freedom of expression to dissenters and to destroy media which precisely describes the practices now in place at University of Washington effectively condoned by Washington Governor.
Covert refusal to allow publication makes Gregoire and Wise personally liable. No executive immunity exists for malicious criminal activity. Governors of most US states hold qualified immunity dependent upon the scope of discretion and responsibilities of the office. Willful blindness involves them in criminal activity if they do not do something to mitigate, to investigate, and to prosecute crimes.

At this writing, taxpayer-funded despots continue to vandalize web sites and email newsletter distribution to effect prior restraint and censorship proscribed by Washington Supreme Court and US Constitution. This administrative insanity starts at the top with arrogance and incompetence then trickles down to resident sociopaths who do the dirty work without question. Dysfunction permeates the administration until one cannot determine where the blame lies.

Reasonable grounds, coupled with good-faith, afford a discretionary basis for immunity from lawsuits for official acts they perform; however, US Supreme Court determined that executive immunity bears the burden of justification based upon the nature of the act performed, not the identity of the actor who performed it. WA governor has deliberately denied due process of law through delay then denial of justice for more than a decade. She remains personally accountable for those delays and for other malfeasance while inmates continue to run the asylum despite Washington Supreme Court findings that should have stopped computer vandalism.
During the two years since the supreme court decision, taxpayer-funded crackers have launched dozens of Internet denial-of-service attacks by sending bots (malicious software) to unsuspecting computer users by a variety of means. The bots infect vulnerable computers and wait for commands from the cracker who controls them and the infected systems remotely. [Internet DoS Attacks]
Most computer users have familiarity with viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and network intrusions on a regular basis and know how to protect themselves. However, virtually no protection exists against bot software. Denial-of service attackers can use either their own computers, or machines that they have infected, to act as proxy servers making it difficult for security investigators to find them. Interestingly, crackers all use the same modus operandi which indicates a robotic existence. Clinically, they classify as sociopaths who will probably never change and only stop their vandalism when locked up in jail or a mental institution. [Psychopath]
Instead of complying with state and federal laws, Christine O Gregoire, Governor, State of Washington and Mark A Emmert, President, University of Washington continue to condone this criminal behavior through willful blindness. They should by now have got rid of these monsters by sending them to jail after indictment and trial. Instead, they probably fear repercussion from obviously psychotic people and allow them to continue their aberrant behavior. Bizarrely, Emmert increases their already inflated taxpayer-funded salaries, despite their lack of mandated qualifications and false academic credentials, which only strengthens their dysfunctional behavior to the detriment of everyone with whom they come into contact.
All salaries shown per annum after annualizing. See Portable Document File (PDF) for citations.
Whores of the Realm US Supreme Court has determined that executive immunity bears the burden of justification based upon the nature of the act performed, not the identity of the actor who performed it. Political expedience coupled with bias defines as malfeasance and provides probable cause for lawsuits against governors who do not enforce constitutional guarantees. If Gregoire does not comply with law, then her malfeasance makes her liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress. Washington state legislature must decide whether Gregoire can answer four questions affirmatively given the extensive, documented malfeasance extant in Washington State executive branch and at University of Washington. In deciding probable cause for impeachment, a reasonable person must ask four questions that relate to any challenged act, omission, or decision: 1. Did the challenge involve a basic governmental policy, program, or objective? If clear and unequivocal answers in the affirmative result, then the challenged act, omission, or decision can, with reasonable confidence, classify as a discretionary governmental process regardless of its lack of wisdom. If one or more of the questions call for, or suggest a negative answer, then an official inquiry must take place into the facts and circumstances. Reasonable grounds, coupled with good-faith, afford a discretionary basis for exemption from lawsuits for official acts performed by governors who hold qualified immunity dependent upon the scope of discretion and responsibilities of their office. However, executive disciplinary action predicates upon whether a governor under any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, exposed a citizen of the United States (or other person within that jurisdiction) to deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by constitutional law. University of Washington administrators continue their autocratic form of government. That institution has the open support of the governor and attorney general in its criminal and exclusionary activities. Gregoire continues to deny due process of law using delay then denial of justice tactics as she has done for several decades.
Computer vandalism and Internet denial-of-service attacks continue. The Cabal has effectively granted criminals impunity and FBI, despite repeated requests, has apparently done nothing to stop the commission of international crime. As governor of a state that claims democracy, Gregoire must: allow voters to decide issues based upon information obtained from the Internet; give them access to information relative to both sides of any particular issue; carry out her duty and responsibility to protect freedom of expression; stop condoning or granting impunity to government-funded censors and technologists; and stop interference with, and destruction of, the careers of controversial journalists and academicians by government officials. Gregoire must immediately issue orders publicly to University of Washington to cease and desist use of taxpayer resources to fund unlawful denial-of-service attacks that harass and censor journalists to support political expedience. Otherwise, she has an international cyberwar to address. She has covered up serious crime at University of Washington for at least twelve years. Now she must come clean and take action to insure that due process of law takes place.
Phyllis M Wise, Provost and Executive Vice President, University of Washington (UW) received twenty-six messages (2008) which asked her to order her staff to stop Internet denial-of-service attacks and other alleged criminal activity. Instead, of responding to the issues, she covered them up using willful blindness. Meanwhile, the vandalism continues. In law, the term "willful blindness" describes contrived ignorance. Officials seek to evade civil or criminal liability by feigning ignorance of facts that involve personal liability. [Incompetence and Willful Blindness] Former Governor Gary Locke made the following recommendation upon hearing about the UW malfeasance; however, Gregoire (both as attorney general and governor) with Richard L McCormick and Mark A Emmert (successive UW Presidents) has ignored Governor Locke's suggestions for mediation and mitigation: The Superior Court could call a grand jury if so requested by a public attorney on a showing of good cause. Also, the Organized Crime Advisory Board may petition the Supreme Court for an order appointing a special inquiry judge. If a special inquiry judge is appointed, the organized crime advisory board shall, with the consent of the Governor, name a special prosecutor.

In a separate article, the author defines prior restraint and identifies current events sanctioned by Big Mamas and implemented by their mischievous, intellectually challenged leprechauns. Prior restraint and censorship have recently occurred at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), University of Washington (UW), Seattle Jewish Mafia (SJM) and other universities and government funded institutions. The term "Big Mama" describes totalitarian university presidents and government officials who censor speech protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution. The term previously applied to Internet censors in the People's Republic of China. The analogy seems apt in light of the politically correct behavior now common in large and prestigious US universities as a parody on Big Brother, the omnipresent leader of a totalitarian state in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four.
