1. Plaintiffs are all taxpayers of the united states of America, except for plaintiff
"United States Government" ("USG"), which is named as a plaintiff because 31 us code §
3730(b) states that an action under the Federal Fraudulent Claims Act must be brought
in the name of the US government. Plaintiffs also aver that they bring this action in
the name of all victims of defendants' schemes as stated in this action, including
soldiers and others forced to go to Iraq by defendants and risk and lose their lives
and limbs.
2. Plaintiffs are suing only those defendants named in the caption of this 3rd amended
complaint.
3. This is an actual case and controversy and is not "Political" case. In particular,
the second cause of action for violation of 31 US Code sec. 3729 is brought under 31 US
CODE § 3730(b), which states that private citizens have rights to bring such an action
against Bush et al. In the name of the "united states government," to recover funds of
which the USG has been defrauded by defendants, via false claims plaintiffs accuse
defendants of violating federal laws and abusing powers, i.e. committing illegal acts,
not of political decisions. The acts are ministerial, not discretionary. Defendants
violated clearly established laws and rights of plaintiffs, such as first amendment
rights of free speech and 4th amendment rights to be free from unreasonable search and
seizure, and cannot claim "qualified immunity." Though they are high federal
officeholders, defendants are not immune from suit. A sitting president can be sued for
violating clearly established laws in office.
6. Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment and opinion declaring the USA patriot acts I
and II unconstitutional, for violating plaintiffs' clearly established constitutional
rights under the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th and 14th amendments to the US
constitution, we ask the court to enjoin enforcement of the USA Patriot Acts I and II
accordingly.
7. Plaintiffs also ask the court to render a declaratory judgment declaring the
military action in Iraq to be unconstitutional.
10. Jurisdiction over ths case is conferred by federal statutes 28 U.S.C. sec. 1331,
31 U.S.C. §§ 3729 et seq., 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961 et seq. and directly under the US
Constitution.
11. VENUE: Venue is proper here because, inter alia, plaintiffs live here and one of
the skyjacked aircraft that crashed on sept. 11, 2001 (UAL flight # 93) was bound for
San Francisco, ca, and because plaintiffs suffered damages here as they reside here.
Also 18 US CODE § 1965 and 31 US CODE § 3729-3731 provided that actions under RICO and
the Federal Fraudulent Claims Act may be brought in the district where the person
injured (plaintiffs) resides. Plaintiffs reside in this district.
___12. Plaintiffs aver that defendants all conspired with the government of Saudi
Arabia("GSA") prior to 9/11/01 to knowingly finance, encourage, recruit, permit, and
aid and abet, certain individuals to carry out the 9/11/01 attacks on the World Trade
Center and Pentagon, in order to orchestrate a contrived, stylized and artificial
"second Pearl Harbour" event for the purpose of galvanizing public support for their
military adventure agenda in the middle east, and in order to persuade congress to
enact their repressive patriot acts I and ii for the purpose of suppressing political
dissent inside the us. Plaintiffs aver that defendants Bush et al. Knew about plans by
"Al Quaeda" to launch the 911 attacks (hereinafter referred to as "the 911 acts"), and
conspired with gSA to fund, finance and encourage said Al Quaeda individuals (many of
whom were acting as informants and agents of defendants) to mount the 911 attacks, and
allowed these attacks to occur deliberately, thereby violating clearly established
rights of plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also are informed and believe, and so aver, that
defendants orchestrated the 911 acts and utilized a technology known as "fly by
wire"("fbw"), i.e., remote control of aircraft, in the 911 acts. Said technology is
also employed in the "global hawk" aircraft and military drone aircraft, and in
commercial aircraft used in the 911 acts. Then, defendants concocted a scheme to cover
up what they had done and suppress their prior knowledge and approval of the 911 acts.
13. Plaintiffs also aver that defendants knowingly utilized the climate of fear and
hysterical created by the 911 acts, and deliberately concocted untrue and fraudulent
claims of "weapons of mass destruction" ("WMD") said to be present in Iraq, from
9/11/01 through the present, and particularly in October 2002, when defendants
presented these false claims to congress in order to obtain a resolution "Enabling act"
which Bush then used to launch a preemptive war against the sovereign state of Iraq.
14. As a proximate result of defendants' acts and violation of the constitution and
clearly established rights of plaintiffs, plaintiffs suffered severe damage in loss of
taxpayer revenues, emotional distress, loss of government services, and other damages.
Plaintiffs have been prevented from exercising their free speech rights by us forest
rangers and other officials, who have banned distribution of certain literature that is
critical of defendants' handling of the 911 acts (Plaintiff Scott MUNSUN was stopped by
federal park rangers from distributing literature critical of defendants and Bush and
the 911 acts, at Baker Beach in San Francisco, on or about May 28, 2003, and his
literature was confiscated by the ranger). Plaintiffs have been approached by
defendants, federal officials, and have had their literature and videotapes etc seized,
and have been threatened with arrest if they did not cease distributing the literature
and videos. Plaintiffs have been fired from their jobs, including plaintiff ashes, who
was fired from his job at a Nieman Marcus department store in San Francisco (and
assaulted by Nieman Marcus store employees telling him "you cant distribute that, the
country is 'at war.' ") on or about Feb. 23, 2003, for distributing any 911-related or
anti-Iraq-war literature and videos critical of the government. Under the guise of the
mantra, "the country is at war," plaintiffs have suffered loss of freedoms and loss of
tax dollars. And all the while, all the while., defendants have continued to march
forward with their cavalcade of horrors intended to frighten the plaintiffs into
coughing up endless moneys. Plaintiffs have also lost liberties as defendants have
finagled new laws and rules and regulations enabling them to read private e mail,
wiretap, etc., all of which violate plaintiffs; 4th amendment rights to freedom from
unreasonable governed search and seizure and plaintiff have suffered loss of liberty,
loss of freedom etc. as defendants have proceeded on their plan to disable us democracy
and impose totalitarian controls and laws, solely in order to tighten their grip on
power for political ends. Plaintiff TIBBS is a veteran who has been damaged by being
forced to accept smaller amounts of military pensions and other benefits than would
otherwise be the case but for the expensive and wasteful wars of aggression conducted
by defendants in Iraq etc., which have bankrupted the us economy and prevented veterans
from getting their just rewards in the form of medical and health services, pensions
etc. Also plaintiffs are informed and believe that defendants have utilized and
implemented the USA PATRIOT ACTS I AND II to spy on them, invade their privacy,
intercept communications intended to be private, invade the privacy of what books they
read at libraries and bought at bookstores, what financial accounts they have and what
financial transactions they engaged in, etc. Also the defendants appear to be prepared
to strip some of the plaintiffs of their US citizenship under the USA PATRIOT ACTS I
AND II, as a mens of suppressing political dissent. This violation of plaintiffs'
rights has been brazen in its scope and dangerous.
15. Defendant Bush and the other defendants have deliberately conspired with the
government of Saudi Arabia to harm the interests of plaintiffs, and to violate
plaintiffs' clearly established rights, and to manipulate petroleum prices, which have
more than doubled since fall 2001, from $ 16/bbl to $ 40/bbl. in addition, Defendants
created "sweetheart deals" with certain companies and awarded these deals to
"reconstruct and rebuild" Iraq. These companies include defendant Cheney's company
Haliburton, Bechtel and others. Taxpayer money has been showered on these companies
which damaged plaintiffs' rights and interests.
16. There is no adequate remedy at law to compensate plaintiff and protect them from
future acts of grossly negligent and intentional malfeasance in office by defendants,
and therefore plaintiff ask for and are entitled to receive an injunction removing
defendants from office and enjoining them from carrying out any further duties in
defense of this country. Plaintiffs are informed and believe that defendants are
dangerous and hence an injunction should issue requiring defendants to fulfill their
constitutional duties forthwith, or remove themselves from office or be removed from
office by all legitimate constitutional means.
17. The USA Patriot Acts, I and II, planned and implemented by defendants as a means
of suppressing and chilling exercise of political dissent, violate plaintiffs'
constitutional rights under the 1st, 5th, fourth and 14th amendments to the
constitution, in that they constitute an invasion of privacy and give the federal
government vast unconstitutional powers to spy on us citizens, i.e., plaintiffs, for
defendants; own nefarious political purpose. Ashcroft should be enjoined from enforcing
the patriot laws.
18. The actions, misfeasance, malfeasance and other acts committed by defendants as
alleged above, in the first cause of action, amount to negligence, misfeasance
malfeasance in discharge of defendants duties to plaintiffs, and defendants have
breached the duty they had to protect plaintiffs from terrorists and physical and
emotional harm.
20. Whereas defendants pose a "clear and present danger" to the lives and liberties
and freedoms of plaintiffs, and to the us treasury which they have been bankrupting by
wasteful wastrel spending on meaningless wars of aggression, and whereas there is no
adequate remedy at law to compensate plaintiff and protect them from future acts of
grossly negligent and intentional malfeasance in office by defendants, and therefore
plaintiff ask for and are entitled to receive an injunction removing defendants from
office and enjoining them from carrying out any further duties in defense of this
country. Plaintiffs are informed and believe that defendants are dangerous and hence an
injunction should issue requiring defendants to fulfill their constitutional duties
forthwith, or remove themselves from office or be removed from office by all legitimate
(Brought in the name of the United States Government pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 3730(b)
23. Plaintiffs have standing to bring this civil action under 31 U.S.C. sec. 3730(b),
as us citizens.
24. The statute of limitations for this cause of action is 6 years-see 31 U.S.C. §
3731. Hence the action is timely.
25. As a proximate result of said violation of the FCA, plaintiffs have suffered
damages, to wit, loss of taxpayer money on a useless and purposeless boondoggle in
Iraq, denial and reduction in public services because of the diverting of federal
taxpayer funds to the Iraq misadventure, loss of life in a purposeless activity,
infliction of emotional distress, creation of huge federal budget deficits and
resultant interest charges (including interest paid to gSA), etc.
26. Plaintiffs request an order compelling defendants to reimburse the US treasury for
the federal funds they defrauded the Congress into giving them, by making deliberately
false and fraudulent claims of WMD, mushroom clouds, CBW and the like.
25. All of the above-described acts by defendants constitute a violation of the RICO
statute, 18 US CODE §§ 1961 ET SEP. In particular, defendants have received income
derived from a pattern of racketeering activity and have used and invested such income
in the acquisition of interests in, ands establishment of operations of, certain
enterprises, such as the Iraq "reconstruction" program whereby defendants' cronies such
as Defendant Cheney's company Haliburton and Bechtel have won sweetheart deals to
"rebuild"the very infrastructure that defendants have destroyed or damaged through
mindless military action, in pursuit of defendants' dubious goals. Plaintiffs aver that
defendants have engaged in pattern of tarn Marte quam Mercurio and that the "war" in
Iraq has been a cover for racketeering activity, such as the sweetheart deals,
described supra. The cover-up by defendants of the genesis of the 911 acts has been a
conspiracy in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1961, as well. This has been a conspiracy to
obstruct justice. As part of the coverup, during the days following 9/11/01, defendants
knowingly allowed members of the Saudi royal family and Bin Laden family to fly out of
the USA at a time when all other flights were grounded. The purpose of allowing these
criminals to escape the country was to prevent anyone from questioning them about their
complicity in causing the 911 attacks. The coverup also has taken the shape of a
campaign of intimidation and suppression of FBI agents and informants who knew about
the true genesis if the 911 attacks. For example, when FBI translators and agents and
informants sent letters and e mails and documents to defendants prior to 9/11/01,
warning them of imminent threats of attack, defendants suppressed these, forbade the
informants from speaking publicly or to the 911 commission later, and imposed a policy
of Omerta.
26. Plaintiffs have standing to bring this cause of action because of 18 US Code §
1964 in that plaintiffs aver that there is a causal link between defendants' violation
of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1962 and plaintiffs' injuries.
1. For declaratory relief, an order declaring that the USA PATRIOT ACTS I AND II are
null and void for violation the Constitution, and declaring the defendants' actions to
have violated RICO and the FCA, and an injunction enjoining defendants from
implementing the USA PATRIOT ACTS I AND II;
4. An order compelling defendants and their cronies and business associates, including
Bechtel corp; and Haliburton corp., to reimburse the US treasury for all tax dollars
gained by them, which tax dollars have been extracted from plaintiffs, us taxpayers on
the basis of false and fraudulent information;
6. An injunction forbidding defendants, and defendant Ashcroft and his justice dept.,
from enforcing patriot acts I or ii, and declaratory relief in the for of an order
declaring both patriot acts to be unconstitutional.
8. For reasonable attorney fees and costs of suit; 7. For all other appropriate relief
deemed proper.
