INTRODUCTION
1. On May 16, 2014 Defendant Alisa Liggett, Director of Student Conduct at the University
of South Carolina, without notice or any type of hearing, summarily suspended student
Sammi Addahoumi on the pretextual charge of computer misuse. The decision was
communicated in an email from Grewe and attached letter from Liggett. The email was

2. The supposed basis for Liggett's outlandish claim was an email that Addahoumi had sent
to Defendant Leslie Wiser and to Mr. Addahoumi' s classmates. The email, which
3. However, Wiser had become increasingly upset with Addahoumi since the student first
distributed emails to his classmates opposing and analyzing the viewpoints Wiser taught
in the classroom. At all times, Addahoumi's statements in his emails focused on the
academic and political issues raised by Wiser in class, and what he saw as the needless
4. Just as any citizen would do to petition their government, Addahoumi communicated his
views via essays, blogposts, social media, and e-mails and class discussions with
misrepresenting the circumstances in each instant. Mr. Addahoumi was not informed of
these complaints nor was Addahoumi able to contest these accusations. (Exhibit D)
and he took steps to suppress Addahoumi's exercise of his American birthright- the right
to freedom of expression.
7. Wiser complained about Addahoumi s speech activities to other student "peer leader"
to a meeting in he castigated the student for questioning his judgment about the subject
matter, for embarrassing him, and for threatening the legacy of his Smart-Policing
and stronger and more direct methods were employed to solve the problem.

8. Wiser and Liggett summarily ejected Addahoumi from his CRJU Homeland Security
classroom after another female student had a violent outburst in response to Addahoumi's
input into the class discussion. As the class discussion focused on domestic and
international terrorism, homeland security, and policing, very sensitive and highly
controversial issues such as race, religion, and politics were discussed regularly. Exhibit
E)
9. Wiser and Liggett proceeded to not only charge and sanction Addahoumi, but summarily
10. Addahoumi filed a report about the incident to Liggett, Grewe, Schneider, Bedford, and
Prill. The report complained that Wiser ordered Addahoumi to leave the classroom under
11. Seizing upon the tragic school shootings at Virginia Tech University as a pretext, Wiser
and Liggett took steps to brand Addahoumi as a not only a disruption, but a danger
because of his non-violent speech activities and to remove him from campus. (Exhibit D)
12. Liggett, Wiser, Prill, Grew and others charged, then sanctioned Addahoumi with a
classroom disruption charge for a disruption he was not responsible for. (Exhibit H)
13. Addahoumi was not allowed a hearing despite his repeated requests. Instead, Liggett,
Wiser, and defendants arbitrarily prohibited Addahoumi from returning to class, and
14. Knowing that Addahoumi had to previously had to avail himself of counseling services
for a mandated Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) assessment, which Liggett herself
had mandated, Liggett and Wiser secretly and repeatedly met with USC counselors, legal
counsel, USCPD, and the USC BIT seeking to justify their decision to expel him not only
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 4 of 44
from class, but from the university. Defendants willfully misrepresented Addahoumi as a

multiple disciplinary actions against Addahoumi, they also declined to clarify or even
provide their Behavioral Intervention Team policies and protocols that were the basis of

17. The USC BIT website states "The following behaviors can all be important signs of
distress. As a member of the Carolina community, you may notice a student exhibiting
one or more of the academic, physical, or emotional signs and decide that something is
clearly wrong. Or you may have a "gut-level feeling" that something is wrong. If the
latter is the case, don't dismiss your feelings or feel that you need to wait for tangible

they exert a profoundly chilling effect, as penalties for violating the policies contributed
to the investigation of, sanction of, and suspension of Addahoumi in retaliation for his
19. Defendants Olmert, Liggett, Grewe, Schneider, and others repeatedly utilized the
Behavioral Intervention to report, investigate, and sanction Addahoumi for his protected
free speech activities. For instance, Olmert had reported Addahoumi for "criticizing
Israel" (Exhibit K)
20. What Wiser and Liggett learned from the campus counseling center clinical psychologists
Dr. Lara Sheehi and Dr. Bryant Kilbourne, who were consulted in the matter, however,
was that Addahoumi had never exhibited any threatening or violent tendencies and that
he did not represent any danger either to himself or to others. Quite to the contrary,
despite a background in which he had been forced to cope with some difficult family
issues from an early age, Addahoumi had developed into an engaged student and aspiring
academic, was a successful business owner, world traveler and was very much politically
21. Notwithstanding these facts, and against USC policies clearly stating that unilateral
action would violate basic due process rights, Wiser and Liggett proceeded with their
plan to suspend Addahoumi from USC. Such arbitrary and authoritarian action has no
legitimate place on an American college campus or in any society governed by the rule of
law.

location in 2005, and a third location in 2007. Addahoumi re-enrolled in the Fall of
2012.
44. From the beginning of his time at USC, he actively engaged in student and political
affairs, and did so without major interference by USC officials. Prior to his return to
USC, for example Addahoumi wrote, filmed, and published dozens of articles and videos
for CNN News iReport, many of which were featured on CNN, CNN International, and
on local news outlets. More recently, his primary concerns focused on protection of civil
45. Defendants Liggett, Wiser, Prill, and Grewe designed a BIT plan for Addahoumi to serve
as the structure Defendants could use to detect and intervene prior to the emergence of
the supposed violent or self-injurious action. Liggett, Wiser, Prill, Grewe, Frierson, and
other BIT stakeholders investigated reports, culled available data, and even repeatedly
46. Liggett, Wiser, Prill, and the USC BIT had three primary functions. Defendants gathered
stereotypes, Jungian archetypes, and preconceived social standards, and then developed
and engaged in an intervention into Addahoumi' s free speech, freedom of conscious, and
free thought.
47. Defendants enacted this BIT plan with Addahoumi while using the BIT to establish
supposed "baselines" for Addahoumi's speech, detect alleged patterns, observe any
48. Phase 1: The USC BIT defendants invasively gathered information from the community
about Addahoumi's protected free speech. This meant advertising and selling the USC
BIT well to the USC community and teaching them what they should report about
Addahoumi's free speech. This meant nurturing the BIT reporters and communicating
49. Phase 2: The USC BIT defendants must have some way of analyzing the information
about Addahoumi's speech once it came in. Simply stated, this involved rating the
information into low, moderate and high categories and BIT defendants took
corresponding action and investigated Addahoumi's free speech for each of these risk
ratings.
50. There was no rating for "no risk" and no process to filter out frivolous or false BIT
51. Defendants utilized the arbitrary, inconsistent and subjective BIT process, a process that
cannot be justified or defended against Addahoumi's protected rights under the First and
52. The investigative data addressed the full spectrum of information obtained, gathered, and
shared with the BIT defendants about Addahoumi, as defendants investigated his speech,
his work, and his social and family life, and even his protected medical records.
53. Phase 3: Finally, Liggett and USC BIT defendants set in motion multiple interventions to
or threat assessments without consent and with informed consent, unnecessary case
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 13 of 44
management, and numerous burdensome, stressful, and arbitrary USC BIT and USC
Student Conduct meetings, all to justify defendants' outrageous claims that Addahoumi
54. Liggett, Prill, Frierson, and BIT defendants personal intervention into Addahoumi's
protected free speech and freedom of conscious was chosen based on: 1) Liggett as best
positioned to intervene, as director of both the BIT and USC Office of Student Conduct,
2) Prill as most likely to engage the student in a invasive manner utilizing his law
enforcement capacities, and 3) Frierson as the best positioned to increase the extreme
nature of the intervention in his legal and medical capacities to ensure the intervention
would lead to future involuntary and invasive treatment of Addahoumi and his freedom
of speech. (Exhibit Q)
55. Each of these three steps was essential for Liggett and defendants. This is was a circular
process. Once the information about Addahoumi's protected speech and expressive
activities was gathered, an array of bias and subject analysis were completed and the
interventions were conducted, then Liggett and BIT defendants returned right back to the
56. Defendants educated the campus community about Addahoumi's behaviors of concern
57. Cultures of reporting Addahoumi's speech did not exist in a vacuum. The members of the
information about his expressive and academic free speech activities, as well as those
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 14 of 44
activities of Addahoumi that defendants sought to portray as becoming "at risk." There
were no challenges when Liggett and BIT defendants activated, created, and operated
channels of communication that allowed for a flow of information from those who
supposedly had it to those who allegedly needed it-Liggett and BIT member defendants.
(Exhibit R)
58. Liggett and defendants created and nurtured the channels, and mandated their reporting to
reached out to the campus and related community to inform them what Addahoumi's
concerning speech looked like, what dangerous behaviors were supposedly forthcoming
from Addahoumi, and how to report Addahoumi when concerning protected free speech
59. Among other tools, USC BIT defendants used the "D Scale" from the NaBIT A Threat
60. Liggett's function as BIT Chair and BIT Defendants' roles in the process to empower a
culture of reporting on Addahoumi' s protected free speech, to investigate his free speech,
and to suspend him in violation of his rights to protected free speech, is addressed in
detail in materials distributed during a 2015 BIT training seminar conducted at USC by
61. Liggett, Prill, and defendants provided hyperactive, hyper vigilant consultation and
support to faculty, staff, administration, and students in assisting them to surveil, track,
62. Defendants mandated faculty, staff, administration, and student "peer leaders" with
interactions with Addahoumi to refer any concerns to the BIT, and defendants responded,
whether or not appropriate or warranted. Often, what is needed was not a BIT response,
but instead some guidance for the reporting individual on how to manage their
63. Liggett, Wiser, and BIT defendants did not and would not provide any problem-solving
64. Instead Liggett and defendants mandated that faculty and staff manage, report, refer, and
to do all three as a critical "prefunction" of Liggett and defendants' BIT plan for
Addahoumi. (Exhibit T)
65. Defendants ensured any concerns continued despite the protected nature of Addahoumi's
speech, so that elevating the matter to a BIT-level response was supposedly needed.
66. In this interactive process, Liggett and BIT defendants coached the reporting individual
the level of concern they perceived about Addahoumi's speech because of the tools,
training, and longitudinal view at their disposal. NAB IT A tools supposedly allowed
Liggett and BIT defendants' greater insight into the appropriate level of concern posed by
67. Liggett, Prill, and BIT defendants served as the central point of contact for individuals
and mandated that members of the community pick up on signs and clues to support their
68. While Addahoumi's speech was protected and even trivial, when viewed in the aggregate
Liggett and BIT defendants misrepresented facts to show a supposedly clear picture of
behavioral patterns (Addahoumi's free speech) that need to be addressed sooner rather
than later.
69. Each person possessing information did not attempt to manage it or keep it private or to
themselves, but instead should pass it along to the Liggett and BIT defendants, so that the
BIT could compare it to other information coming in from other sources about
Addahoumi's protect free speech activities. Even educational documents and academic
records of other students were carelessly and recklessly added to Addahoumi's own BIT
70. In this way, the BIT detected patterns that they had created, those that "could not be seen
by individual community observers", because they did not exist. Liggett and Defendants
called it the "50,000-foot view", allowing the BIT defendants to see Addahoumi
"holistically", within the context of previous protected free speech over time.
71. Liggett is the permanent BIT chair and also the Director of Student Conduct. Liggett had
authority over student conduct investigations regarding Addahoumi, the ability to impose
Addahoumi. Liggett convened the BIT defendants for regular and ad hoc sessions as
needed, was the only liaison between the BIT and the office of student conduct, and was
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 17 of 44
72. Defendant Prill is the USCPD representative on the BIT. Prill facilitated liaison and false
enforcement, the BIT, local law enforcement, SLED, and even federal agencies such as
the FBI and Department of Homeland Security. Prill facilitated BIT access to campus
multimodal and timely warning capacities to deal with Addahoumi's speech, and helped
to implement those unwarranted campus wide warnings about Addahoumi. Prill brought
to the BIT increased levels of threat assessment, liaison with local law enforcement, and
actions.
73. Each and every complaint regarding Addahoumi's speech became a BIT-related matter,
in part because Addahoumi's speech activities represented a media relations issue for
USC and defendants. Media relations influenced and shaped BIT decisions, and
defendants' input helped the BIT to frame sensitive issues in the most alarmist way
74. BIT defendants tracked Addahoumi's "concerning" speech and expressive activities over
time, monitored patterns, identified trends, and repeatedly was enabled to pick up
Addahoumi when he "dropped off the radar screen inexplicably" by doing nothing at all.
Liggett and BIT defendants utilized the Maxient database system to prevent Addahoumi
from "dropping off the radar," as the Maxient database automated the reminder process
1
for follow up by the BIT or Conduct Office regarding Addahoumi's protected speech.
75. Liggett and BIT defendants maintained detailed records and minutes of BIT meetings,
actions, interventions taken by the BIT, as well as all follow-up activities and interactions
with Addahoumi. These records were kept by Liggett and defendants in files (or
partitioned databases) that were carelessly intermingled with other campus records (for
example, conduct files, counseling records, etc.). Other BIT defendants kept many
detailed notes and records beyond those maintained in sole possession records/personal
case notes.
76. Liggett and BIT defendants communicated with one another, other departments, and
injuries.
77. When defendants had knowledge that Addahoumi had attempted to transfer to another
University, defendants contacted the BIT Chair at the transferee institution to share
Addahoumi's BIT history and records of Addahoumi's free speech activities. This
78. Liggett and BIT defendants never evaluated and determined the credibility of any alleged
79. Defendants failed to evaluate and determine if Addahoumi appeared to have the
resources, intent, and motivation to carry out any alleged threat, and defendants failed to
make any assessment of legal "true threat" and free speech issues, for evaluation of
80. On March 15, 2014 defendant Wiser filed a BIT incident report about an email and
attached research paper sent to him by Addahoumi. On information and belief, Liggett
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 19 of 44
then decided to use the email, along with Addahoumi' research essay, and awareness that
Addahoumi had already been forced by mandated BIT assessments to availed himself of
questioning his Smart Policing program, that Addahoumi represented some kind of
danger. Liggett pursued this strategy with the assistance of defendants Wiser, Grewe,
Bedford, Schneider, Prill, Frierson, and others using the USC BIT to facilitate their
mission. (Exhibit C)
81. On or about April 9, 2014, under orders from Liggett, Defendant Prill of USCPD
contacted Defendant Frierson to inform him that, in Wiser and Liggett' s view,
Addahoumi had threatened Wiser personally via the email and attached research paper.
82. Addahoumi had not exhibited any violent tendencies and had made no threats of any
kind.
83. The BIT protocol centers on mandating contact with those faculty, staff and "peer
leaders" with any interactions with Addahoumi, inform them Addahoumi was
experiencing mental health issues, and mandated that those individuals file BIT incident
reports regarding Ligget' s concerns, and document any observations or information that
84. On or about April 17, 2014 Addahoumi posted a series of items on his CNN iReport
page, including essays and research papers, that criticized the USC BIT and defendant

Addahoumi made the opposite point, that because of the Virginia Tech tragedy, the

blurred lines between local law enforcement and federal agencies such as the FBI and
DHS were creating a militarized police force. Mr. Addahoumi suggested that as a result
minorities, Muslims, and other people, like himself, would be branded as dangerous when
86. On or about April 10, 2014, under the direction of Liggett, defendant Prill contacted
defendant Frierson a forensic psychiatrist employed by USC, and requested that he assess
87. On April 9, 2014 Addahoumi received an official notice of charge from Liggett
mandating a Student Conduct meeting in her office on April 11. During that mandated
meeting Liggett demanded that Addahoumi remove or edit Wiser' s name from the Smart
Policing research paper which Addahoumi had posted to his CNN ireport blog. (Exhibit
H)
88. Addahoumi refused to agree to Liggett's demand to censor, edit, or remove anything
from his CNN iReport page. Defendant Liggett threatened that if Addahoumi did not
sign an agreement to edit his blogpost, he would be suspended for computer misuse and
harassment. Addahoumi refused to sign any such document and demanded a Carolina

notwithstanding Addahoumi's request for a CJC hearing, Liggett directed that a meeting
90. On or about April 11, 2014, Liggett held a meeting regarding Addahoumi which, on
information and belief, Wiser, Grew, Bedford, Prill, Frierson, and others attended. At this
meeting, Defendants, led by Liggett, decided, unilaterally and without any process due to
Addahoumi from USC. Mr. Addahoumi was unaware that he had been suspended and
91. On May 16, 2014 Maureen Grewe informed Addahoumi of his suspension from USC via
email and attached suspension letter from Alisa Liggett. Addahoumi was informed of his
suspension when he discovered the email while on campus awaiting a meeting with his
92. The letter stated, in pertinent part, that Addahoumi had been suspended for "computer
misuse" and "using computer resources to harass others in ways that violate institutional
93. The suspension letter also demanded that Addahoumi "agree to willingly engage in any
94. The letter also mandated that Addahoumi would "complete an assessment" with
Defendant Frierson and would "complete all treatment recommendations" from Frierson.
It stated that "a delay of more than two weeks in beginning treatment recommendations

Student Affairs and Academic Support. The Vice President for Student Affairs and
Academic Support, in turn, designates the Office of Student Conduct with administrative
authority and responsibility for Student Conduct policies and procedures. This
responsibility includes formulating and implementing policies and procedures, in
cooperation with other appropriate University bodies, for the consideration of conduct
violations and the imposition of sanctions in an efficient, consistent, fair, legal, and

Conduct. The policy declares that student discipline has been delegated by the President
to the Vice President for Student Affairs and the Dean of Students Office. These policies
include:
99. Each and every complaint about Addahoumi centered on his free speech. In each and
every instance, Defendant Liggett chose to investigate, charge and sanction Addahoumi.
100. Addahoumi was not told who had charged him with "computer misuse". He was
not told which exact email he had been charged for. Addahoumi was not informed of the
contents or source of any BIT report or Student Conduct report. (Exhibit 0 and Exhibit P)

"The University is also committed to the principles of academic freedom and believes
that a learning environment where the open exchange of ideas is encouraged is integral to
the mission of the University. The University vigorously embraces students' rights to the
legitimate freedom of expression, speech, and association. Nothing in this policy is
intended to impede the exercise of those rights protected under the First Amendment of

135. This conduct system extends to and applies to STAF the general principles of the
Statement of Student Rights and Freedoms within the Academic Community to specific
"Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the
development of students, and the general well-being of society. Free inquiry and free
expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of the
academic community, students should be encouraged to develop the capacity for critical
judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent search for truth. Institutional
procedures for achieving these purposes may vary from campus to campus, but the
minimal standards of academic freedom of students outlined below are essential to any
community of scholars.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facts of academic freedom. The
freedom to learn depends upon appropriate opportunities and conditions in the classroom,
on the campus, and in the larger community. Students should exercise their freedom with
responsibility.
The responsibility to secure and to respect general conditions conducive to the freedom to
learn is shared by all members of the academic community.
The university has a duty to develop policies and procedures that provide and safeguard
this freedom. Such policies and procedures should be developed within the framework of
general standards with the broadest possible participation of the members of the academic
community. The purpose of this statement is to enumerate the essential provisions for
student freedom to learn.
The admissions policies of the university are a matter of institutional choice provided that
the university makes clear the characteristics and expectations of the students that it
considers relevant to success in the institutional program. Under no circumstances

3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 32 of 44
within the limits of its facilities, the university should be open to all students who are
qualified according to its admission standards.
IN THE CLASSROOM
The professor in the classroom and in conference should encourage free discussion,
inquiry, and expression. Student performance should be evaluated solely on an academic
basis, not opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards.
Students should be free to take reasoned exceptions to the data or views offered in any
course of study and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, but they are
responsible for learning the content of any course of study for which they are enrolled.
Information about student views, beliefs, and political associations which professors
acquire in the course of their work as instructors, advisors, and counselors should be
considered confidential. Protection against improper disclosure is a serious professional
obligation. Judgments of ability and character may be provided under appropriate
circumstances, normally with the knowledge and consent of the student.
The University of South Carolina strives to protect this educational community and to
maintain social behavior among its students and student organizations. Consistent with its
purposes, reasonable efforts will be made to foster the personal and social development
of those students who are held accountable for violations of University social regulations.
The purpose of this document is to set forth the specific authority and responsibility of
the University in maintaining social behavior, the educational behavior, the educational
process of determining student and student organization accountability for violating the
regulations, and the proper procedural safeguards to be followed in this process to insure
fundamental fairness and protect the students and student organizations from unfair
imposition of serious penalties and sanctions.

facilities for maintenance, health, or safety purposes.
Students enjoy the same freedoms of speech and peaceable assembly as all citizens, but
they are under certain legal obligations in the exercise of these freedoms by virtue of their
membership in the University community. Expression may be subjected to reasonable
regulations of time, place, number of persons, and form under established regulations.
Expression in the form of action that materially interferes with the normal activities of the
institution or invades the rights of others is prohibited. The University is pledged to
protect lawful exercise of the rights of free speech and assembly and will invoke
appropriate legal and disciplinary sanctions when necessary in the pursuit of this goal.

"We, the undersigned members of the Carolina community, pledge to all Carolinians,
present and future, that we support and will defend your freedom of thought, conscience,
inquiry, speech, expression, and communication. It is our moral obligation to defend the
basic rights of all to free speech and expression, whether we support those views or not.
We therefore oppose all attempts by Carolina faculty and administrators to silence,
suppress, or "prosecute criminally" thought and speech deemed vulgar, controversial,
unpopular, insensitive, offensive, inappropriate, subversive, or blasphemous. We regard
any effort by the University to censor and punish thought and speech as especially
disgraceful.
All students everywhere have a right to think, learn, and speak in an environment free of
faculty or administrative threats, intimidation, harassment, coercion, and indoctrination.
Know this: Carolinians are legally entitled to the full protection of the First Amendment.
Any denial of this right is illegal, unconstitutional, and a betrayal of Carolina's
commitment to providing its students with a marketplace of ideas.
In the name of genuine tolerance and diversity, let there be no thought crimes or thought
police at the University of South Carolina. Our campus must be a refuge for free thought
and which includes ideas that we do not like or that make us feel uncomfortable.
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 34 of 44
Let all Carolinians unite to fight error and prejudice with rational arguments, critical
investigation, and unfettered debate, which requires upholding the principle of free
speech uncompromisingly.
We therefore pledge that we shall work tirelessly to fight censorship and to keep alive the
spirit of open-minded inquiry at the University of South Carolina."

"Smart Policing" the Columbia, SC "Knowledge Based" economy - CNN iReport Page 2of11
In Columbia, South Carolina, innocent people are under attack and have
h6where to run. All layers of government have failed, from the local, to the
state, even the federal level. To deny or overlook the situation any longer,
Damascus even for one more day, has ceased being simply a matter of politely ignoring
the awkward elephant in the room.
Steel
The level of perversion commands either absolute opposition or absolute
complacency. Officer Greene has a right to be angry. So does the widow of
Tom Sponseller. As well as former Columbia Chief of Police, Tandy Carter,
Andre Williams and Shannon Williams and all their families, neighbors, and
friends who have been wronged. Lest we beg that what happened to them
should happen to us tomorrow. Most importantly we must apologize to the
homeless of Columbia for allowing David Navarro to literally take food out of
their mouths by stealing their donated thanksgiving turkey dinners to distribute
in what has to be the pettiest form of patronage that I have seen, to the extent
that it is embarrassing even to read about. Petty is as petty does and petty
cash was was flying like "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead!" making life in
Columbia like an AIPAC picked box of chocolates. We always know what we
are going to get. We can end this now .
foreverspin"' We must give them what is their right: an investigation. What kind of
criminals can be associated with the modus operandi that would involve
concealed rooms behind rooms in benign looking utility closets? The kind that
hack into your phone, your laptop, your server, and your bank account.
These Smart Policing scams cost billions of dollars, suckering in the "client"
with an initial "buy in" that then devours a City Police Department by eating
itself alive with power and suspicion and corruption until it is a mere shell for
and by the shadow data brokers-turned power-brokers who make
arrangements for those who play ball and corresponding arrangements for
those who make trouble.
There can be no trouble. In clubs like the Citadel, Air Force, the Military
---~--~---~----~--------------lndustrial.complex,and/or-l0cal-police,iH3anbe-verydangerot:1stoplayball,----------~--
and deadly not to. The machine will always need an upgrade and always need
and an analyst, even if all she does is profile poor black males into those that
she has arrested and/or slept with and those she has yet to arrest, and/or
sleep with. Not surprisingly the correlation between the two is systematic.
There is no longer any room for polite irrationality as we find our politicians
addicted to the evils for which they break not only our Jaws, but Jaws which are
higher and predate all of us, universalist codes of right and wrong, of moral
and immoral, of good and evil, and most importantly, the separation of the
two, for without separation, there can be no distinction.
The very real and very current Segregation of black from white in Columbia,
S.C has been cloaked with such exaggerated integration that we have the
audacity to call it knowledge based. How knowledgeable is it to ignore that
Columbia, S.C. has nearly year round bright sunny skies? The most corrupt of
all weave hydrogen fuel cell, biodiesel, dried Camel dung, and a cheap Agile
Power Point slides while being paid by SCANA to criminalize residential solar
panels.
Corporations like CNA and Harris Computing are now using the Black citizens
of Columbia as lab rats in authoritarian surveillance experiments labeled
under the guise of "Smart Policing". These amount to designating and area a
"hot spot", then finding crimes to fit them, even if it means creating crime, as in
5 Points, while somehow, because a computer is used, it is call "evidence
based", for a Jack thereof no doubt, like another great authoritarian meme,
"Patriot Act".
It will be a war that the poor, the Black and the dissenters of Columbia will be
the first to feel. The militarized Columbia police must be acknowledged. They
must be curtailed. If the Federal government feels compelled to purge its
weapons of war and population control for any purpose other than the
preparing Ruben Santiago for martial law, Columbia will gladly take whatever
is metal. With enough scrap metal, we could perhaps build a whole metro

community, luxuries such as public transportation.
I cannot ignore how, after billions spent on concept studies, Columbia City
council secretly, and in the most closed of bids, selected the preselected
English Socialist 3rd Universal model of Fascist "Smart Policing." R.
Buckminister Fuller would not approve, thought Pike would be quite pleased.
Your flag is a bloody rag that shames our fathers and their fathers and all
before them.
I refuse not only to believe the lies; I refuse to sit quietly, complacently, while
they are fed to others under the guise of truth. If my real Southern Heritage is
symbolized in the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, or "Confederate
Flag", where is my Plantation? Where is my Ole Southern Home? Where is
my Tara, my Millwood ruins? We were slaves ourselves, and the worst in us
was fooled into fighting a rich man's war, not even because it was of our
choosing, but because the sanctity of our home had been desecrated by
invaders, occupiers, who tried to dictate to us our own thoughts and burned
plantations that were not even ours, yet we were implanted with a need for
vengeance and a lesser "other" so that the fallacy of logic could exist that poor
white sharecrops actually gave a damn about slavery other than from a need
for someone to feel superior to in our own misery. The banality of humanity
does not make us human. It takes away from it.
My family, every generation, were poor white sharecroppers. And I could not
be more proud. My Heritage is a history that has been distorted and rewritten
for and by the same elite 1% who have profited from the evolution of Slavery.
The truth is that there were not enough poor white sharecroppers, slaves to
the land and the company store, to die as aristocratic fodder, or at least, not
enough to win. The Union had more, as the factories gnawed bone and flesh
like a tech cotton sawy mill. We were no match.
We were the 99% that did not own slaves, for we were slaves ourselves. Our
~~~~~~~~~sfavery;~our~chains;wer~implyra1T1ore:indentared;-t:loa1<ecrtorm ofSlavery,
"servitude", for the sharecroppers and mill workers who are my heritage were
slaves of debt to the same master and same overseer in the same company
store. Today it is the cash advance - tile loans. The extended stay. The lottery
whose very name desperately tries to cloak what it clearly is: a poor tax, and
more often than not a poor Black tax. But it is, in fact, a colorblind tax. It is a
Black poor tax only because we refuse to admit that we all suffer, whether it is
our own money or society that is wasted.
Do not mistake or let them spin the reality of Black Columbians bearing the
burden of systematic vice devised to ensure that the true worth of their ethnic
capital is never realized. A worker for USC once threatened me with a brick
when I spastically refused to relent in my questioning of where he was taking
the ethnic capital of Black Columbia, of South Carolina. I was afraid it would
be thrown away. This worker thought he was just replacing old bricks, worn,
chipped, grooved and smoothed with the age of a painful past
He was simply a landscaper laying nice new corporate sponsored bricks that
now fan the historic USC Horseshoe, many being "donations" from tax breaks
as tax breaks. For someone who refuses to deny the history, each old brick
which the worker removed was priceless, like the gold bullion of Black capital,
for it was by the bleeding hands and broken backs of Black men enslaved as
slaves and now slaves to a false history of romanticized slavery that the very
bricks of the USC Horseshoe were laid.
Instead of thinking in terms of good and evil, we have been deceived into
thinking, acting, and speaking, only in terms of Black or White, a self-
perpetuating otherness, while the only shades of grey to which we are not
blind consist entirely of two classes, according to our elected officials at least,
those with feathers or those with dots. Yet the saddest part of all is that such
uneducated, racist drivel is perpetuated, even by its victims, in an pathetic
belief that colluding with that same evil somehow deflects it, tricks it, makes it
somehow less savage by constructing still another other whose fabricated
inequity will be inherently exponential as one lie necessitates another.
It is the banality of human nature that we can only tolerate such victimization
by mirroring our misery; passing the bigoted buck onto another victim, yet
scream with such irrational terror from conjured threats that we have, with
great certainty, created for our own morbid and economic amusement.
We will find that USC is not only home to America's first political scientist,
Liber, it is also home to the very man who would corrupt the sanctity of the
American home, setting precedent for the surveillance state that has corrupted
not only the Leiber code, not only the 41h, and 1"1, but every single other U.S.
Constitutionally mandated right. America and our laws once meant something
other than being terrified into blind, illegal, immoral, and unending wars.
The man who once defiled the sanctity of the American home by stealing the
trashcan of an American citizen from his American driveway, this same evil
lurks in the shadows of Columbia as his exponentially imbalanced brain has
So expertly did he harnessed all the evil in himself that his conjured,
fabricated enemy has torn to shreds the societal fabric of America. No one
spoke up to stop him at your driveway and now he coaches others right into
your most private, intimate, personal thoughts.
Today, Leslie Wiser deals in digital waste, as he helps himself, and absolutely
anyone else that will pay, to not only your computer's recycle bin but also to
the thoughts which may not even be known to you, about thoughts you have
yet to have, for he records them, stores them, and sells them in real time as
you Google the information to construct your own thoughts and opinions. It
Leslie Wiser who decides whether your thoughts make you a profitable
customer or a profitable terrorist, or both as those who stop buying become
enemies of the State.
Mayor Steven Benjamin has broken the very laws that separate human beings
from animals. Mayor Steven Benjamin is not only void of intellectual or tactical
qualifications; he is an empty shell, void of humanity. In His proposals, his
schemes, we will find that the only feelings in his body are addictions to
money, power, lust, and the unabashed prostitution of himself and Columbia
to anyone and everyone who promises to secure these for him.
In not addressing the problem, in ignoring one law, one life, we have laid
waste to the objective truth, the reality that once protected us all. It has now
become dangerous to speak the truth; for we have been forced into a Twilight
Zone of conjured truths where people in power have only one requirement to
maintain the status quo:
Memories must be short, for the best memories are the shortest memories for
they need only be capable of remembering fear and hate, as a scared
customer is always a happy customer, just as hindsight is always 20/20 and
slavery always "wasn't that bad".
To remember the debate between City Council and Steve Benjamim over who
could access a crime scene is to admit to yourself and Ruben Santiago that
you are no idiot and you refuse to be taken as one.
One innocent woman's life was ruined forever one early Columbia morning
and we became accessories to a crime and our own oppressors when we
allowed the criminals to investigate themselves. The poor, poor woman,

Deborah Rubens, never even saw him, the evil, flying at top speed at her in
his luxury sedan. I think he hated her because she refused to be at the mercy
of his merciless excuse for a bus system. How dare she.
It was the evil that we can ignore no longer, and he was invisible because it
was only technically morning, still dark as night, when Mayor-Elect Steven
Benjamin, after an all night binge following his victory party at the Clarion
Townhouse hotel, was so impaired in his driving, in his decision making
capability, that he did not have his headlights on while recklessly driving
nearly 100 miles per hour though my, our, downtown Columbia.
He broke her skull and we break it over and over again every day we ignore
that initial crime, for it was a singular genocide that we have exacerbated
through complacent denial that has eroded our fabric of life. That poor woman
could not defend herself, nor seek justice against her attacker. Those that
investigated such criminal acts of high power found themselves victims of their
own mockery of justice as Columbia City Hall and the Columbia Police station
became a den of lies, suspicion, extortion, and sexual depravity.
It is that nihilist depravity which right now, under our watch, yet under our
noses, that now takes the form of "consultants" who are allowed, encouraged,
to masquerade as teachers and professors at the University of South Carolina
and "analysts" or "community resource officers" at the Columbia Police
Department, all of whom spend their days surrounded by vulnerable,
impressionable people. There are people who wish to combine Richland
County and the City of Columbia police and for them, they must approve, as
did Sheriff Leon Lott, of their officers arresting drunken distraught girls who
are not resisting arrest, but resisting rape and the predation of authority.
What if no video existed of the demented molestation that took place that night
on Devine Street in Buffalo Wild Wings? The officer, Allen Derrick, broke both
written and unwritten laws with such disgusting acuity, yet for Leon Lott, this
was justice to those who dared resist the penetration of usurped and absolute
authority. So sure, he will be happy to take over a few more promising social
deviants in the CPD.
There are now not only innocent careers being ruined by corruption, not only
livelihoods, but even human lives; those lives who dare express dissent are
worthless to those sworn to protect and/or represent them.

the hands of Black South Carolinians by keeping them poor, uneducated, and
feeling like strangers in their own home.
This is not a battle that we can ignore, for it is a war not of our choosing. The
people, leaders, the officials, we are in a state of undeclared war of both
information and bullets. The City of Columbia Police Department, Columbia
City Council, City management, and even the University of South Carolina and
USCPD, brought back Jim Crowe 3.0 as a database that redlines by default,
whose hate and fear is written in code that perpetuates an anachronistic ghost
in the machine.
Today, the cameras in 5 Points save the modern slave trader from having to
look in the mouth of a Black man to decide how much that much that life is
worth. Thermal imaging technology can capture by the megapixel the
inhumanity of stripping and prodding of the selling block, whereby Ruben
Santiago decides who is of the field and who is of the house. Alvin S. Glenn
Detention Center is 100% young black males, not because they are a threat,
but because they are young, black, and male. We do not have to live like this.
The SC hospitality tax is a front to fund one elite white minority in keeping
capital out of the hands of the black majority. Whether wars or lnnovistas, bad
investments are bad only to those who pay their costs.
There are millions and billions and billions to fund studies, research groups,
pyramid schemes, and publicly funded-privately profited speculation bubbles,
though never a dime for a bus system so spitefully pitiful that every single soul
in Columbia should be deeply shamed.
I have watched my fellow citizens, fellow human being, shuffled from forgotten
cinder block projects, to decaying cinder block schools, to cinder block prison
cells. Columbia's Hospitality tax is cruel and racist joke that provides billions
and billions in a twisted, demented scam, running in circles trying to ignore the
anachronistic black hole that waves as a sign to Black America, to Black
South Carolinians, that they are not welcome nor wanted, nor even
acknowledged. We do not have to live like this.
I owe everything that I have, everything that I am, to Columbia, SC. It is for
this reason that I am compelled to stand, even if alone, against those who
have ravaged the generous hospitality and gambled the very future of my city,
of your city, of our Columbia. There is an ominous cloud of deceit, corruption,
-- -- -~---~ ---~~- -- - -~. -- ......~.bate,-and.betrayaLtbatbas.darkeoei:Lo.uLcity_witbJngrained, systematicL and --~---~----~~
insatiable greed.
As of late, this precipice has achieved critical mass, whereby we now risk
loosing everything for absolutely nothing, as the parasitic nature of what we
are facing only disengages when it's host is void of not only resources, but
void of the humanity which allows for life even without resources.
The city of Columbia is under attack by Columba City Council and it's gang
those who wish to take for themselves from Columbia what can only be had
' though the decimation those among us who have an obligation to protect,
either by oath or by birth, our city, and all those who call it home.
We do not have to live like this and I refuse to allow incompetent, criminal
officials, their collaborating media, and business interests to say otherwise, for
what they offer, what they push, is a carefully constructed and controlled
narrative that defies reality, yet is so elaborate, the fallacies can be cloaked
again and again, until they are revealed at last, in the final stages of financial
and moral default.
I know that Mayor Steve Benjamin is corrupt and void of morals, not because
of opinions I hold, but of facts I do not ignore. Mayer Benjamin has absolutely
no shame. It is as if his body has a physical dependence on pillaging
Columbia's Water and Sewer fund, the Hospitality tax and even the City of
Columbia worker's retirement fund. He shows no concern for the welfare of
Columbia, as he maliciously, even spitefully, formulates outlandish schemes
and suspicious policies that destroy any chance for its workers or citizens to
be secure in their eventual vulnerability.
Two months ago, the street, literally the road, in front of my restaurant
collapsed, just gave way, buckling like a third world warzone or the result of
some natural disaster in a distant land where starving people and structural
collapses are expected of cruel and indifferent government officials. I half
expected the City of Columbia Police Department to come steaming though
like Patton in their U.N. convoy, tossing out bags of rice for Palmetto warlords
to form over.

A water boil advisory was issued for the first hour, then no information was
offered for the next 2 months. I did not know whether if was safe to serve my
customers any more than parents across the street knew if they were bathing
their children in city water contaminated with sewage.
On one corner, I was reminded of my home away from home, Benghazi, when
a resident, recognizing the absence of government, took matters into his own
hands, resulting a thoughtfully simple handwritten sign, taped to a chair,
graciously informing drivers which routes were accessible and which were not.
Where it merely confusion and/or only inconvenience which residents
suffered, the handwritten signage would have been a nice gesture. The reality
is direr and demands accountability, for the sign was not about the
convenience of drivers, but solely for the safety of the neighborhood children.
My business, Sammi's Deli was forced to close, as were all others, including
Lizard's Thicket, and Dollar General. and upon reopening, the slow crawl of
the work closed the road resulting in sales figures that were unsustainable.
Had the road been closed another week, it may have broken me. The pillaging

own business and livelihood, but Mayor Benjamin's criminal greed and
nefarious neglect directly put in jeopardy the welfare of my workers. Though it
was costly, I did not lose my house or car. For at least two of my employees,
however, those two days, which they could not work, meant that they had no
gas to get to work once the initial chaos had subsided.
These are realities which Steve Benjamin, Ruben Santiago, and Leslie Wiser
know absolutely nothing about, for these are not constructed and have no
agenda, no sponsor, no shadow executive board. It is simply the achievement
of Total Information Awareness through the recognition that there is no such
thing as Total Information Awareness and, above all, that anytime anyone
claims or seeks Total Information Awareness, they seek and claim the
omnipotence of God. As this is hardly something that can hardly come with a
written guarantee, I cannot support it as a concerned taxpayer, nor as a
human being.

Incident Description
* Description
Mr. Addahoumi has been disruptive in class (Terrorism and Homeland Security CRJU 491T) by speaking without
being recognized in order to advance his view of foreign affairs. I thought I had managed these in-class disruptions,
but Mr. Addahoumi sent an inappropriate email on Blackboard on 9/17 to the entire class and to me, which was
brought to my attention this morning. The email was disrespectful towards me, challenging my qualifications to teach
and suggesting I had an agenda. In the email, he said, "bin Laden was 100% made by America" and "Hamas was
created by Israel." He denounced one topic I covered as "Zionist propaganda." After reading it, other students in the
class today expressed safety concerns about Mr. Addahoumi to the Staff. A Staffmember made me aware of
Facebook postings by Mr. Addahoumi that show individuals holding firearms and making hand gestures. I have
contacted the EOC Office and Student Conduct, both of which recommended I report this incident via BIT.
* Have you made any attempts to address the behavior? How did the individual respond to the attempts?
I thought I had managed the in-class behavior. I have not replied to, or otherwise addressed, the email.
* Do you have any other information about the individual that might be relevant?
A Staffmember conducted an internet search and learned Mr. Addahoumi has a criminal record. In addition, the
Staffer reported to me that his Facebook posts are alarming, including several in which weapons are displayed.
I have not been successful in being able to forward the email because it is in Blackboard.

Incident Description
Following disruptive classroom behavior for which Mr. Addahoumi had been previously counseled by -
and me, Mr. Addahoumi today chose to speak out of tum in class. He refused all attempts to channe~

policy matters, but he seems disinclined to participate other than as the final authority. It should be noted that I have
never ignored his request to speak.
After it was clear that Mr. Addahoumi had no interest in participating in an orderly discussion, I told him to leave the
classroom. After initially refusing to leave, he complied; however, he made comments on his way out of the room
suggesting that the members of the class were not interested in learning about terrorism.

Incident Description
* Description
"Professor" or rather Agent Wiser, has direct conflict of interests in teaching a class on "terrorism". He is an FBI
agent who also contracts as a private security consultant based on his involvement with the FBI.
In regarding the subject matter, he has targeted Islam and Arabs using populist and widely discounted sources rather
than academically credible and widely available material.
Such an involvement with the FBI or other organizations has led any and all lectures to be merely regurgitation of
overly biased, discriminatory, and agenda led opinion rather fact.
Instead of being a judge or non biased 3rd party, his his teaching the class in relation to the one sided perspective of
parties interested in persecuting Arab and Muslims. It is a class of biased opinions and dis proven allegations rather
than academic facts.
* Have you made any attempts to address the behavior? How did the individual respond to the attempts?
Repeated attempts have been made with no effect, despite reluctantly addressing obvious discrepancies when they
have been brought to light only under after my own suggestion based on my own intensive reviews of the wide
ranging subject matter.
The truth only comes out when I bring it out. His lectures are biased to the point of targeting Muslim, Arab, or even
African American students.
----~..:'!_Qe-yew-Fiave.aRY-Gther-iRfor:mation--about.theJndivJduaUhalmigbibeJ:elffilant2______.____._........__..~----------------
All of his material is provided by the FBI or associated agencies, resulting in far from academic elements, even a
market or profit driven approach that perpetuates stereotypes to further FBI interests.
We should be learning how to protect the constitution rather than learning from agencies seeking to weaken it.
I enrolled in the class to fill academic requirements but such a thing requires academics and not special interests
monopolizing the learning environment.

Based on the severity of the ongoing alleged classroom disruption and the on the alleged incident
occurring this morning, you will not be permitted to attend CRJU 491 until these allegations are
resolved. Failing to comply with this directive will result in an additional Code of Conduct charge. If
someone in the class feels threatened and calls the police because you are not permitted to be present,
it could result in arrest.
I want to reiterate what I left on your voicemail. Your removal from the course is a possibility if you
are found in violation of the Code. If you are removed on Monday, you will receive a WF. If you

Incident description
I received this morning (April 23, 2013) a phone call from an adjunct instructor, who is teaching a
Political Science course for us in the Evening School schedule (POLI E483 Middle East Politics, which meets MW at
5:30 in Gambrell Room 201 }. - expressed considerable concern about a student in his class, Sammi
Addahoumi, who I believe is an undergraduate major in Political Science. My understanding is that this student, who
is in part Libyan, has had considerable outside-the-classroom contact with the instructor, reflecting at least in part the
student's interest in Middle East politics and the instructor's background s among other things the brother of
a former Israeli Prime Minister). My understanding is that this relationship was non-problematic. But, . .said this
morning, "something has changed," this student has become in the past "six weeks or so" very "vitriolic" and agitated,
and has "expressed hatred" at the instructor and Israel apparently both inside and outside the classroom. ,
said that the student at least once "yelled and screamed in the classroom," and has recently been "emailing students
in the class" attacking/criticizing? . I asked specifically if felt threatened or fearful and while I did not get
a straight answer, I think he does feel threatened; although w h a t - explicitly expressed was concern for the
student, not for himself.

What I Behavioral Intervention Team Page 1of1
The following behaviors can all be important signs of distress. As a member of the Carolina community. you may notice a student
exhibiting one or more of the academic. physical, or emotional signs and decide that something is clearly wrong. Or you may have a "gut-
level feeling" that something is wrong. If the latter is the case, don't dismiss your feelings or feel that you need to wait for tangible "proof'
that a problem exists. A simple check-in with the student may help you get a better sense of the student's situation.
NOTE: In cases where a studenfs behavior poses an imminent threat to you or another, contact Police immediately at 911.

ll
.
When a referral is submitted through the BIT website, each team member immediately receives the report via email.
The team evaluates each report and a member of the BIT wlil reach out to the student of concern to assess any resources needed and
collaboratively develop an action plan with the student to reduce obstades for their success at USC.
BIT members will assist the student in coordinating with resources and check in on their progress.
In the event that a student is perceived to be at risk of harm to self or others, BIT will coordinate with appropriate University offices to
assist the student
BIT may determine that there is no need to take any further action but will monitor the situation and concern.
The student(s) involved are contacted by a member of BIT and could be instructed to participate in an assessment process at Counseling
and PsychiatJy. Students who parlicipate in an assessment (up to four sessions) are frequently given treatment plans which may or may
not be required, depending on the severity of the concern. While the team is designed to address the most critical student cases involving
erratic behavior, or behaviors which pose a threat to self or others, many student issues are resolved through an informal meeting wffh a
member of the BIT. Students who fail to comply with the request for assessment or to follow through with treatment plans could be referred
to the University's student conduct system and charged with "failure to comply with an official university request.

How
Doi
Help?
"I'm concerned about you and noticed you haven't been sleeping, eating, going to class, etc."
"How are you feeling?"
Reflect back their feelings and paraphrase: "What I hear you say is that you are in a great deal of pain and feel hopeless."
"I'm glad you called."
Listen with respect Individuals in distress want understanding and care.
"Sometimes when people feel sad, they have thoughts of killing themselves. Have you had such thoughts?"
"Are you thinking of kHling yourself?"
"Have you considered suicide?" "How would you go about it?" "When would you do that?"
Remember, asking about suicide does NOT put the idea in people's minds.
"What would help now?" "Who can, who usually helps?" "How can I help?"
Get assistance. Avoid trying to be the only lifeline for this person. Seek out resources even if it means breaking a confidence.
"How would you feel about going to the Counseling Center? Let's call right now. I'll walk over with you to see a counselor."

Each treatment facility in our area has their own process for handling new clients. In-general, you can expect that the assessment will last
1-3 hours depending upon your circumstances. There may be initial paperwork to complete. Make sure you take your health insurance
cards with you and present this upon arrival. A licensed mental health clinician will complete your assessment, which will require them to
ask you a broad range of questions. Once finished they will provide you with feedback regarding their findings and what treatment(s) are
best suited for your individual needs. Please make sure to sign a release of information waiver to have the information faxed to the BIT al
803-777-1393.
The standard six-week group takes a psycho-educational approach to providing information and insight regarding the use of substances. II
meets once per week over a six week period. The format is modular and a different topic is presented each week. Topics range from: the
impact of substances, South Carolina laws and minimizing risky behaviors. Attendees are expected to actively participate. The general
goals of the group are to help students make informed decisions about their substance use, to explore the role of substances in their lives
and to focus on risk reduction.
We occasionally have contact with students who are in need of substance use treatment services that cannot be provided on-campus.
They are often in-need of Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP). This is a form of outpatient counseling wherein treatment is received 3 or 4 <_< ___<_<__<_____<________<___________<~----<----

What do I do if I know a student who may need to be referred to the BIT process? If you feel there is an immediate threat call USC
Police at or 803-7n-4215, or call 911 and tell dispatch if and where you are on campus. To make a referral, go to Incident Report page.
You will be asked for basic infonnation about the student, how to contact you (in case the BIT has follow-up questions) and for a
description of the incident or behaviors that prompted the referral. Should I talk to the student about referring them to the BIT
process? You are the Behavioral Intervention Team's best resource because you are familiar to the student. If you are comfortable doing
so, tell the student that you are concerned and ask if the student is OK. In many cases the student will indicate that they could use some
help and you can refer them to Counseling and Psychiatry at http://www.sa.sc.edulshs/chdc. Referring students to Counseling and
Psychiatry and the BIT covers all bases. Who can make a BIT referral?
Anyone who feels a student is a threat to themselves and/or the community can make a BIT referral; including students, parents, faculty
and staff, and other community members.
The team of members from Counseling and Psychiatry, Office of Student Conduct (OSC), University Housing, USC Police, and Student
Health Services receive your referral by email and are able to take the information and make a decision about whether the student should
be assessed by Counseling and Psychiatry. Reporting is the most critical step. To make a BIT referral, please go to http://www.sc.edulBIT
and click on the red Incident Report button in the center of the BIT homepage. Refer to the Resources page find contact information and
explanations on how these departments can assist you.
If the team determines the student is appropriate for the BIT process, he/she will be contacted and instructed to participate in an
assessment at Counseling and Psychiatry. The type of assessment is dependent on the behavior. Students are generally required to
participate in a minimum of 4 sessions of assessment by a Counseling and Psychiatry staff member. Students with involuntary
hospitalizations due to substance use will complete an assessment and will be given an individualized treatment plan that may include a 6-
week skills based group, individual counseling, or treatment In the community.
How do I know if it is a BIT issue or if it is more appropriately handled by other campus resources?
You do not have to make this determination; the BIT will do it for you. The most critical step is that you report it at http://www.sc.edu!BIT. If
another campus resource is more appropriate, the BIT will refer the student and handle the transfer of information.
Typically, behaviors that pose a threat to safety or that cause a significant community disruption qualify as BIT, while students who
experience other mental health issues are appropriate referrals to Counseling and Psychiatry at http://www.sa.sc.edu/shs/chdc or 803-777-
5223.
As a result of growing national trends on college campuses of mental health issues and the increase in hospitalizations and deaths due to
alcohol consumption, the University of South Carolina created the Behavioral Intervention Team (Bin. In order to promote the safety and
health of its students, the BIT addresses student behaviors that are disruptive and may include mental health and/or safety issues.
The Behavioral Intervention Team consists of a group of qualified and dedicated USC professionals whose mission is to:
Balance the individual needs of the student and those of the greater campus community
Provide a structured positive method for addressing student behaviors that impact the university community and may involve mental
health and/or safety issues
Manage each case Individually
Initiate appropriate intervention without resorting to punitive measures
Eliminate "fragmented care"
1. Be able to articulate campus resources, supports and services that are applicable to their needs.
2. Have an understanding Of their concerning behaviors and how those behaviors affect themselves and our community.
3. Be able to identify positive/healthy changes in their behavior.
The Behavioral Intervention Team may be reached by calling (803) 777-4333 or you may set up an appointment to visit us in the James F.
Byrnes Building, Suite 201. We are directly across from the Horseshoe on the comer of College and Sumter Streets. There is metered
parking available on College Streel
You are a Gamecock and someone else in our community was concerned about you and a behavior they observed. USC is particularly
concerned about high-risk behaviors by students due to the threat these behaviors pose to student health, safety, and academic success.
You received an email to come in for a meeting to be able to hear the concern and share your story wilh a member of the BIT who can help
conn~ct you to the appropriate resources.
If you have a hold on your registration, it is most likely for one of the following reasons:
Failure to attend a scheduled meeting with your BIT administrator or Counseling and Psychiatry appointment
Failure to complete the action plan assigned to you
You will have to attend a meeting or complete the action(s) before the hold is removed.
No. BIT cases are not punitive and not on your academic record and there is no notation on your transcripl
The records of cases are kept confidential and will only be shared with your written permission or if there is an immediate health and safety
risk.
No. If a student's Individual scholarship provider requires a conduct clearance, information regarding your BIT case will not be shared.
Yes. A student can bring an advisor to a BIT meeting. The advisor can be faculty, staff, student, family member, parent or attorney. Please
note that any advisor requires that the student signs a FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) release form allowing them

to be-very high. In contrast to recent Ufe events, he displayed reasonable judgment

ADDmONAL INFORMATION
On May 14, 2014t Mr. Addahownfs father was inttiuviewed briefly. He reports that Mr.
Addahouml appeared to be doing better since ~xams were over. He does not view his
son as mentally ill but believes he has a time management and anger problem. He
denied knowledge that his son Is using drugs. He reports that things went well for his
son during the falt semester but that hls son seemed to have f)l'Qblems in the spring
semester. He reported that there had been a definite change in behavior In his son.
After this evaluation, Mr. Addahoumi made a highly inappropriate Twitter post, referrin,g
to Alisa Liggett as a zionlst \IVhorebag and a dirty one at that". He also posted a
recording of the ht 75 minutes of this evaluation on Facebook and CNN iReports. He
also emailed Ms. Liggett wfth the Behavioral Intervention Team and stated "The
University of South Carofina does not know what it lost today". He made an
inappropriate remark In the email about Dr. Cl1apman (one of the examiners in this
evaluatioo).
DIAGNOSTIC IMPRESSION
Mr. Addahoumi dbip!ayed the forlowing symptoms of mania during the evaluation:
lrrltabllity, grandiosity, pressured speech, fflght of ideas, and distractibility. Hrs dramatic

would meet diagnostic criteria for Bipolar Disorder. However, the cause of his mood

esaential that llllolt substances be ruled ~ as a possible oause. This ds particularly a
possibility given the amount that Mr. Addahoumi was sweating which did not appear to
be related to anJ<fety. For that reason, we are assigning hlm the diagnosis of Bipolar

problems in the past 12 monttis. For this reason, we are assigning the diagnosis of
History of Cannabis Abuse.
There is little medical evideflce that Mure violent acts can be successfully predicted by
mental health professionals. Therefore. despite opinions contained in this report, there
is no guarantee that Mr. Addahouml will not behave In a violent manner.
Risk factors for violence can be classified into two categories. Static risk factors are
factors whfoh cannot be modmed. tn Mt. Addahoumi 1s particular ease, his static risk
factors include the fact that he Is male and single_ Dynamic risk factors are factors
which are modifiable. ln his partloular case, the dynamic factors tnclude the presence of
mental Inness and substance use.
There are several protective factors as well. Mr. Addahouml has never engaged in
serious vlolant acts In the past. Therefore, If he were to engage in a serious vloient act,
he would be an outlier statistically. He reportedly he has not used marijuana in several
years and malntslning sobriety from thrs substance would be another protective factor.

-President, the University of South Carolina

scholar Katherine Hall Bates to sp~ak in honor of Professor Donald Fowler and to mark

By his own huble admission, Don Fowler has instructed at least half of South Carolina's
state legislators that now congregate under Columbia's State House dome. Very rare is
there to be found one man who has made so encompassing an impact inside the
classroom and out, as part of both th~ South Carolina and ~ational Democratic Party, as
well as the patriarch of a fan1ily and communications firm who continue to shape local
c~pus, state, and national dialogue. In her lecture, Kathrin Hall Bates examined how
two worlds, that of the media and that of the political, have been misrepresented in what
In honoring Professor Don Fowler for his academic nonpartisanship,,there is a gap that
can only be explored in relation to the statements of USC President Harris Pastides, for
any such assault on fact in American politics is undeniably rooted in the assault on fact in
noble in the pursuit of higher wisdom, a responsibility that has historic precedence and
At the University of South Carolina, there is a nearly irreducible divide between the
knowing subject and the object that is known. I believe that Libya is the prism by which
this gulf can be breached and what follows is an attempt to examine a universal history
whereby it may be possible to build a new understanding of the theories and models from
which we derive modaJities of politics, academics, and the unifying factor, which divides
them, religion.
In his lectures, Professor Donald Fowler relays noble principles that are compromised by
the statements of USC president Harris Pastides as academic debate is curtailed. We will
examine how the statements of President Pastides betray noble principle of academic
freedom that is mandated in the Carolina Creed. Programs such as the Behavioral
Intervention Team (BIT) at USC are implemented at great cost and resource to twist
freedom of expression into classroom disturbances that stifle academic debate through
intimidation.
Professor Don Fowler is but one of many professors at USC whose impact inside the
classroom can be paralleled only by impacts made outside the classroom. I will use my
own first hand research, from USC to Benghazi, Libya and juxtapose what is known and
can be proven as fact against what is offered at USC and we will find that the difference
The Middle Eastern and Islam World Studies program at USC has been eliminated by

This is despite a critical knowledge gap in all areas of study regarding the region, from
language to religion, to politics, and history. This silent, hidden, academic boycott of
policy continues in blatant disregard for basic academic freedoms of debate and equality
of ideas.
Specialists such as Waleed El-Ansary and the International Common Word project that
he brought to USC have been targeted and eliminated, as even guest speakers are banned
from delivering lectures that do not conform strictly within pro Zionist agendas. Agents
of Israeli Zionist propaganda outlets are sold to students as Middle Eastern experts in a
disturbing scenario whereby the classroom is used to make people dumber. This
handicaps generations of citizens who cannot make informed decisions nor interpret
current events in the world as they relate to their own lives with any meaningful
perspective.
Having taken part in the Arab Spring and having witnessed Arab Muslims march in
protest to demand and die for Democracy, I mentioned to Professor Leslie Wiser after his
very first very first lecture, centering on Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations, that
the Arab world did, in fact, want to modernize and, did, in fact, want Democracy. 1 was
given quite the rebuttal: "I don't care if it is right", replied Professor Wiser, "I like what it
says". This coming from a terrorism expert who t had to enlighten regarding the
origins of Osama Bin Laden, as his class on terrorism was void on actual terrorism as it

every lesson while avoiding the American origins of the Saudi Terror network that exits
until today, connecting Benghazi and Syria, securing his profession as a terrorism
analyst.
Another example lies in Professor Josef Olmert. Dr. Josef Olmert is a doctor in the same
sense that Dr. Saif al Islam Gaddafi is a doctor, that is, accredited by the discredited
London School of Economics, obtained through selling academic integrity. Dr. Olmert
has not even the most elementary understanding of Middle Eastern Politics, something
Dr. Olmert's brother, Ehud Olmert, served as both Mayor of Jerusalem and as Israeli

l agree with Don Fowler that Politics are the most pervasive aspect of any society and
that there are no aspects of lite which are not effocted by politics, more so than even
religion, to the extent that the Bell curve of the American political spectrum can relegate
no less than half of the population to having no worth what so ever, in ways that wars or
religions never have. While Western secular systems of beliefs often label religion as the
lead cause of war, it is the convolution of secular politics, which allows religion to guide

The same South Carolina legislature which has been so imbued with the higher ideals that

As student of ancient philosophy and biblical texts, I know that word Zionism is an

lt is my belief that those in South Carolina, in all of America, who defend Zionism know
not what they defend and that has caused not only confusion in government, but has put
America's national security at risk and has destabilized the entire world in the process.
In 1983 Jon Han1ilton qeveloped the PROMIS software with a federal grant from the U.S.
Justice Department. The software was developed by Hamilton based on his previous
experience with the NSA in early voice recognition in Vietnam. This software forms the
basis for every surveillance tool that has been made since, for it's initial purpose of
tracking cases for the US Justice Department now functions in every variation of tracking
that is limited only by Moore's Law and the law of expanding networks.
The Israeli government stole this software through Rafi Eitan while he used the alias of
"Dr. Ore" to observe a product demonstration. What would follow is a case that has been
ignored and now haunts America like the ghost in the machine that it truly is. It is a case
of Israel stealing American technology and innovation through a backdoor which has
been built into every device, every sensor, whether it connects to the Internet or not. It
is a Trojan door that has played man in the middle in an ongoing denial of service attack.
It s is the distance between the knowing subject and the object that is known. This
software was built into every computer and every device that every country uses to track
every one of it's citizens, every one of it's customers, every one of it's voters, and
I agree with Donald Fowler that technology is an amazing thing. It has indeed, changed
politics in fundamental ways. It was Bull Conner on TV screens in living rooms across

The common factor between the destabilization of America and Li.bya is a man by the
name Ari Ben Menashe. A former Mossad agent, Ben Menashe played a significant role
in reengineering the PROMIS software with a hidden backdoor that could be used to
remotely monitor the software without detection. This software forms the core database
that has played a role in every major scandal and crime of the last 30 years from the
BCCJ bank scandal to the al Qaeda network to which this technology was sold.
This backdoor was sold to Libyan leader Muarnar Qaddafi in the form of surveillance
technologies that only reached the light of day during the 2011 Libyan Revolution.

In Libya, America was given it's first lesson in terrorism and the lesson plans have gone
from for Jeft secuJar revolutionary Marxist ideologies to the opposite end of the spectrum,
that of far right religious extremism in the form of al Qaeda. It was Qaddafi who issued
the first INTERPOL arrest warrant for Osama Bin Laden, the modem definition of
terrorism, and Gaddafi who first defined terrorism for America whether in Berlin, Rome,
London, or over Lockerbie, Scotland. It is Libya that continues to define terrorism as the
alleged new base for al Qaeda. All are simply lesson plans, nothing more, but only for
those who can read signs in the chaos and pick out signals from noise. The chaos today
in Libya is not anarchy, but orchestrated misery, and that orchestration is done at the
Ari Ben Menashe, this very minute, is working with a separatist movement in Eastern
Libya that is being used to construct a division in the county that is to be split along the
Syrtic divide, between East and West, between Roman Tripolitania and Greek Cyrenecia.
This movement, led by militia leader Ibrahim Jathran, has hired Ben Menashe to lobby
the American and Russian governments to compete both in recognition of the separatist
movement and exploitation of the oil, gas, and port facilities it controls in Eastern Libya.
This is at the same time that another Israeli citizen, former US Senator Joe Lieberman; is
under contract to Libyan politician Basit Jgtet to lobby the American government to
recognize and facilitate his power struggle in Tripoli. Igtet, in his New Plan for Libya
platform, alleges to be the only avenue by which to unite the country, i.e., keeping at bay
The former Prime Minister, Ali Zeidan, was ousted after failing to prevent an
from the Eastern Libya, under the control of Jathran, from leaving Libya to be sold
black market.
Only in Israeli papers was it noted that when the U.S. intercepted this oil tanker after
Zeidan's failure to do so, that two Israeli nationals were arrested for their part in
orchestrating and facilitating the stolen oil to market, perhaps to Russian or Israeli
brokers. America is now set to occupy Libya at any moment due to unrest and chaos,
caused as Israel and America steer both sides of Libya, the East and West, into a
constructed war that America and Israel will profit from. Don Fowler must know that
nothing can be good and proper or good and done in Libya while Roger Tamraz works
with the separatist movement of Eastern Libya to market it's oil, while at the same time
working to bolster Basit Jget, his Swiss, Qatari, and Israeli connection in the West of
Libya. The Israelis are now using Roger Tamraz to destabilize Libya in the same manor
he committed war crimes of genocide in Lebanon, that is, a man in the middle, denial of
service attack that is, in fact, an Israeli trapdoor which plays both sides of every conflict
in a Talmudic divide and conquer strategy that now seeks to divide South Carolina for the
rule oflaw as it has Eastern & Western Libya, manipulating markets all the while.
These are the secrets seen only through the Libyan prism for they reveal a pattern of
The connection between al Qaeda and Saddam Husain is rooted in a lie told by a Libyan
who was kidnapped and tortured in the process known as extraordinary rendition. This
man lied, invented stories, because it was what his torturers wanted to hear, and he later
justify the war in Iraq that continues to this day. The Sinjar files found in Iraq cannot
isolated from the fact that Libyans make up the largest single number of foreign fighters
in Syria. America's "ghost flights" only became real when files were discovered in the
office of Libyan Intelligence Chief Musa Kusa. These files and the charges brought forth
based on evidence found in them now prevent many members of the CIA from stepping
foot in Europe for fear of immediate arrest for the kidnapping and torture of European
citizen!}.
The American media hides these facts to the extent that the chaos now unfolding in Libya
can be labeled the result of al Qaeda, when in fact it is a result of the same destructive
force by which America's Silicon Valley has transplanted to Tel Aviv, while the research

Charleston is the center for the upcoming Star Wars and the greatest threat that America

that runs across the J-20 interstate, which is the lifeline to Charleston.

threat is being ignored as Israeli technology is spread and embedded into every ll!ipm.li
life. America has lost all semblance of sovereignty as politicians at the lowest and IUf!!I'
levels of government are not accountable to citizens but to the two forces by which
American foreign policy is forged: the Israeli Lobby and the Military Industrial
Complex. These two forces make or break both candidates and elections and the
resulting governments are at the mercy of their earthly creators. Two factors work in
hiding this from the American voters: fear and the resulting hate. These are products of
a media that is but a representation of the public psyche. It is crafted for an audience that
whose capitalism is, in fact, cloaked fascism, for the Invisible hand of the market is but
for pub1ic consumption. There is insider trading at unseen levels whereby a single group
can facilitate constant war to prevent the surplus of excess capital. Wars are not fought to
eliminate threats but to eliminate the surplus of capital that frees a population from toiling
away for the basic needs of life. The inconceivable tragedies preserved in the Talmud of
famine, exodus, and hardships are interpretations of the earliest of Jewish history and that
history was shaped and preserved in Libya in clay vessels which still sit beneath the sand.
The boycott against the Israeli boycott is a boycott of Judaic history that is denied and
perverted by the state ofisrael. The physical state oflsrael is an affront to God that
represents the fatalistic notion that God has failed, has turned his back on the Jews,
whether in the first Libyan Holocaust or the second European Holocaust, or in the failed
attempts of Libyan Zealots against the Roman Empire. Israel and the Talmudic

incantations that legitimize it have put themselves above God, against God, and therefore
Populations are intentionally curbed in wars of sectarian, religious, and ethnic strife that
have been studied and enacted upon the world with entities such as the IMF and United
Nations whose true purpose is cloaked in semantics and sealed in classified evidence
which is locked behind the chambers of secret governments, embodied in the Club of
Rome. The optimal model for population control has not changed, as Al Gore simply
reprinted the same exact tlow chart from Limits to Growth that can only be compared to
the inspirational literature of Herbert Kahn in its clarity and call for action.
South Carolina and Libya have both become targets for Israeli expansion and it is the
spectrum between them that is hidden and denied by politicians and academics who have
yet to practice what they preach, must less teach. This is the burden of Libyan

Incident Description
* Description
I received a disturbing email from Sammi yesterday (will forward to osc@sc.edu), which included a link to a writing he
apparently authored. Sammi's behavior has become increasingly odd in the past year, but yesterday's email came
after no contact with him since early January. The piece of writing he attached in this email contained many elements
which raised my level of concern, for many reasons. Also, it contained references to a number of faculty as well as
references to statements made by Dr. Pastides.
Frankly, all of this could signify nothing, but it could also be very significant. I am also going to make a all to the
above number to give a "heads up" on this report.
* Have you made any attempts to address the behavior? How did the individual respond to the attempts?
see above
* Do you have any other information about the individual that might be relevant?
see above

"The essence of academic freedom is the free exchange of diverse ideas and opinions. I
am in agreement with the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities that,
"Freedom of inquiry and expression are the foundational principles of [this] vital wort#
and free exchange of ideas is its lifeblood." F()r these reasons, I stand with colleagues -
throughout the country in strong opposition to a boycott of Israeli academic institution."

-President, the University of South Carolina
On AP.ril 17, 2014, the University of South Carolina welcomed acclaimed author and
scholar Katherine Hall Bates to speak in honor of Professor Donald Fowler and to mark

By his own huble admission, Don Fowler has instructed at least half of South Carolina's
state legislators that now congregate under Columbia's State House dome. Very rare is
there to be found one man who has made so encompassing an impact inside the
classroom and out, as part of both th~ South Carolina and National Democratic Party, as
well as the patriarch of a family and communications firm who continue to shape local
ca~pus, state, and national dialogue. In her lecture, Kathrin Hall Bates examined how
two worlds, that of the media and that of the political, have been misrepresented in what
In honoring Professor Don Fowler for his academic nonpartisanship,,there is a gap that
can only be explored in relation to the statements of USC President Harris Pastides, for
any such assault on fact in American politics is undeniably rooted in the assault on fact in

States of America, USC has a responsibility, if not a mandate, to exemplify all tlmt is
noble in the pursuit of higher wisdom, a responsibility that has historic precedence and
At the University of South Carolina, there is a nearly irreducible divide between the
knowing subject and the object that is known. I believe that Libya is the prism by which
this gulf can be breached and what fol lows is an attempt to examine a universal history
whereby it may be possible to build a new understanding of the theories and models from
which we derive modalities of politics, academics, and the unifying factor, which divides
them, religion.
In his lectures, Professor Donald Fowler relays noble principles that are compromised by
the statements of USC president Harris Pastides as academic debate is curtailed. We will
examine how the statements of President Pastides betray noble principle of academic
freedom that is mandated in the Carolina Creed. Progran1s such as the Behavioral
Intervention Team (BIT) at USC are implemented at great cost and resource to twist
freedom of expression into classroom disturbances that stifle academic debate through
intimidation.
Professor Don Fowler is but one of many professors at USC whose impact inside the
classroom can be paralleled only by impacts made outside the classroom. 1will use my
own first hand research, from USC to Benghazi, Libya and juxtapose what is known and
can be proven as fact against what is offered at USC and we will find that the difference
The Middle Eastern and lslam World Studies program at USC has been eliminated by

This is despite a critical knowledge gap in all areas of study regarding the region, from
language to religion, to politics, and history. This silent, hidden, academic boycott of
policy continues in blatant disregard for basic academic freedoms of debate and equality
of ideas.
Specialists such as Waleed El-Ansary and the International Common Word project that
he brought to USC have been targeted and eliminated, as even guest speakers are banned
from delivering lectures that do not conform strictly within pro Zionist agendas. Agents
of Israeli Zionist propaganda outlets are sold to students as Middle Eastern experts in a
disturbing scenario whereby the classroom is used to make people dumber. This
handicaps generations of citizens who cannot make informed decisions nor interpret
current events in the world as they relate to their own lives with any meaningful
perspective.
Having taken part in the Arab Spring and having witnessed Arab Muslims march in
protest to demand and die for Democracy, l mentioned to Professor Leslie Wiser after his
very first very first lecture, centering on Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations, that
the Arab world did, in fact, want to modernize and, did, in fact, want Democracy. I was
given quite the rebuttal: "I don't care if it is right", replied Professor Wiser, "I like what it
says". This coming from a terrorism expert who I had to enlighten regarding the
origins of Osama Bin Laden, as his class on terrorism was void on actual terrorism as it
relates to history or fact. It was a terrorism course that demonized Islam and Arabs in
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 103 of 149
every lesson while avoiding the American origins of the Saudi Terror netvvork that exits
until today, connecting Benghazi and Syria, securing his profession as a terrorism
analyst.
Another example lies in Professor Josef Olmert. Dr. JosefOlmert is a doctor in the same
sense that Dr. Saif al Islam Gaddafi is a doctor, that is, accredited by the discredited
London School of Economics, obtained through selling academic integrity. Dr. Olmert
has not even the most elementary understanding of Middle Eastern Politics, something
Dr. Olmert's brother, Ehud Olmert, served as both Mayor of Jerusalem and as Israeli
Prime Minister, yet now sits in an Israeli jail cell because of illegal bribes accepted by his
brother, Dr. Josef Olmert. In what became known as the Holy Land Corruption case, Dr.
Yosef, or "Yossi", Olmert was given envelopes stuffed with cash to influence his brother,

serve to reinforce notions of racial superiority and religious discrimination. Dr. Olmert is
the circular error that can be found in statements of the USC president and those noble
principles relayed so ideally in the lecture delivered by Mrs. Kathrin Bates in honor of
Donald Fowler, as well as those so expertly articulated in the lectures delivered in the

I agree with Don Fowler that Politics are the most pervasive aspect of any society and
that there are no aspects of life which are not effected by politics, more so than even
religion, to the extent that the Bell curve of the American political spectrum can relegate
no less than half of the population to having no worth what so ever, in ways that wars or
religions never have. While Western secular systems of beliefs often label religion as the
lead cause of war, it is the convolution of secular politics, which allows religion to guide

The same South Carolina legislature which has been so imbued with the higher ideals that
fill the articulate lectures of Professor Don Fowler is the same sole group of State
lawmakers that have the used taxpayer resources of a secular government to declare a
religious mandate to support the state of Israel based on subjective interpretations of the
Old Testament and passed a South Carolina Resolution outlining said interpretations as
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 106 of 149
though they had been revealed on atop Mt. Sinai, on the same stone tablets as the Ten
Commandments.
This resolution would be quaint, even expected in the Bible belt where conservative
fundamentalist Christianity drives political Zionism with as much messianic fever as the
very principles of Theodore Herzl himself Yet this is the gap between the knowing
As student of ancient philosophy and biblical texts, I know that word Zionism is an
invention of the 19th Century and that Libya, as well as Uganda, were examined by both
the British and the World Jewish Council as the British Jewish colonies.
I know that the idea of Zionism is one of Eastern European Communist roots for the
kibbutz's that formed the early settlement were definitive of many Marxist principles of
community ownership, and that, in and of itself, is but Plato speaking through Athenian
Jews who infused the Torah with mystic signs they interpreted all around them in
Alexandria and Cyrene. I have seen Punic-Libyan that would become Hebrew and that
Arabic and Hebrew share so many words that they are deviations of one another, not
unlike the Jew and the Arab, Semitic genealogical deviations from the same father,
Abraham.
J know in all likelihood that Plato himself came into knowledge in Alexandria, for his
final chapter of his most famous work, the Republic was at best inspired, and worst
stolen, from the works of Zoroaster he came into contact with there, in the ancient city
where Jews took up two of the five living quarters and the Ancient Rites of Alexander
were preserved.
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 107 of 149
lt is my belief that those in South Carolina, in all of America, who defend Zionism know
not what they defend and that has caused not only confusion in government, but has put
America's national security at risk and has destabilized the entire world in the process.
In 1983 Jon Hamilton qeveloped the PROMIS software with a federal grant from the U.S.
Justice Department. The software was developed by Hamilton based on his previous
experience with the NSA in early voice recognition in Vietnam. This software forms the
basis for every surveillance tool that has been made since, for it's initial purpose of
tracking cases for the US Justice Department now functions in every variation of tracking
that is limited only by Moore's Law and the law of expanding networks.
The Israeli government stole this software through Rafi Eitan while he used the alias of
"Dr. Ore" to observe a product demonstration. What would follow is a case that has been
ignored and now haunts America like the ghost in the machine that it truly is. It is a case
of Israel stealing American technology and innovation through a backdoor which has
been built into every device, every sensor, whether it connects to the Internet or not. It
is a Trojan door that has played man in the middle in an ongoing denial of service attack.
It s is the distance between the knowing subject and the object that is known. This
software was built into every comput~r and every device that every country uses to track
every one of it's citizens, every one of it's customers, every one of it's voters, and
I agree with Donald Fowler that technology is an amazing thing. It has indeed, changed
politics in fundamental ways. It was Bull Conner on TV screens in living rooms across
the country that gave injustice the exposure needed to stop it. Yet a gag order was placed

Not only does the state of Israel not have a constitution, it is a state that by its very nature
have never fit within the realm of America foreign policy. If we are to be a secular
society, then surely we must recognize the highest law of the natural world, of the secular
failing to address weaknesses that are exploited in our ignorance. Such is the issue of
.
The common factor between the destabilization of America and Libya is a man by the
name Ari Ben Menashe. A former Mossad agent, Ben Menashe played a significant role
in reengineering the PROMIS software with a hidden backdoor that could be used to
remotely monitor the software without detection. This software forms the core database
that has played a role in every major scandal and crime of the last 30 years from the
BCCJ bank scandal to the al Qaeda network to which this technology was sold.
This backdoor was sold to Libyan leader Muamar Gaddafi in the fonn of surveillance
technologies that only reached the light of day during the 2011 Libyan Revolution.
Libya is the prism by which the Mysteries of both the Ancient and modern can be
dissected, through spectrum analysis as much as biblical archeology, for there are secrets

In Libya, America was given it's first lesson in terrorism and the lesson plans have gone
from far left secular revolutionary Marxist ideologies to the opposite end of the spectrum,
that of far right religious extremism in the form of al Qaeda. It was Gaddafi who issued
the first lNTERPOL arrest warrant for Osama Bin Laden, the modem definition of
terrorism, and Gaddafi who first defined terrorism for America whether in Berlin, Rome,
London, or over Lockerbie, Scotland. It is Libya that continues to define terrorism as the
alleged new base for al Qaeda. All are simply lesson plans, nothing more, but only for
those who can read signs in the chaos and pick out signals from noise. The chaos today
in Libya is not anarchy, but orchestrated misery, and that orchestration is done at the
Ari Ben Menashe, this very minute, is working with a separatist movement in Eastern
Libya that is being used to construct a division in the county that is to be split along the
Syrtic divide, between East and West, between Roman Tripolitania and Greek Cyrenecia.
This movement, led by militia leader Ibrahim Jathran, has hired Ben Menashe to lobby
the American and Russian governments to compete both in recognition of the separatist
movement and exploitation of the oil, gas, and port facilities it controls in Eastern Libya.
This is at the same time that another Israeli citizen, former US Senator Joe Lieberman; is
under contract to Libyan politician Basit Igtet to lobby the American government to
recognize and facilitate his power struggle in Tripoli. Igtet, in his New Plan for Libya
platform, alleges to be the only avenue by which to unite the country, i.e., keeping at bay

The former Prime Minister, Ali Zeidan, was ousted after failing to prevent an
from the Eastern Libya, under the control of Jathran, from leaving Libya to be sold
black market.
Only in Israeli papers was it noted that when the U.S. intercepted this oil tanker after
Zeidan' s failure to do so, that two Israeli nationals were arrested for their part in
orchestrating and facilitating the stolen oil to market, perhaps to Russian or Israeli
brokers. America is now set to occupy Libya at any moment due to unrest and chaos,
caused as Israel and America steer both sides of Libya, the East and West, into a
constructed war that America and Israel will profit from. Don Fowler must know that
nothing can be good and proper or good and done in Libya while Roger Tamraz works
with the separatist movement of Eastern Libya to market it's oil, while at the same time
working to bolster Basit Jget, his Swiss, Qatari, and Israeli connection in the West of
Libya. The Israelis are now using Roger Tamraz to destabilize Libya in the same manor
he committed war crimes of genocide in Lebanon, that is, a man in the middle, denial of
service attack that is, in fact, an Israeli trapdoor which plays both sides of every conflict
in a Talmudic divide and conquer strategy that now seeks to divide South Carolina for the
rule of law as it has Eastern & Western Libya, manipulating markets all the while.
These are the secrets seen only through the Libyan prism for they reveal a pattern of
The connection between al Qaeda and Saddam Husain is rooted in a lie told by a Libyan
who was kidnapped and tortured in the process known as extraordinary rendition. This
man lied, invented stories, because it was what his torturers wanted to hear, and he Jater

office of Libyan Intelligence Chief Musa Kusa. These files and the charges brought forth
based on evidence found in them now prevent many members of the CIA from stepping
foot in Europe for fear of immediate arrest for the kidnapping and torture of European
citizens.
The American media hides these facts to the extent that the chaos now unfolding in Libya
can be labeled the result of al Qaeda, when in fact it is a result of the same destructive
force by which America's Silicon Valley has transplanted to Tel Aviv, while the research
It is through South Carolina that Israel is preparing for a constructed war and Libya is the

threat is being ignored as Israeli technology is spread and embedded into every asped1111f
life. America has lost all semblance of sovereignty as politicians at the lowest and IDl!ll
levels of government are not accountable to citizens but to the two forces by which
American foreign policy is forged: the Israeli Lobby and the Military Industrial
Complex. These two forces make or break both candidates and elections and the
resulting governments are at the mercy of their earthly creators. Two factors work in
hiding this from the American voters: fear and the resulting hate. These are products of
a media that is but a representation of the public psyche. It is crafted for an audience that
whose capitalism is, in fact, cloaked fascism, for the Invisible hand of the market is but
for pubJic consumption. There is insider trading at unseen levels whereby a single group
can facilitate constant war to prevent the surplus of excess capital. Wars are not fought to
eliminate threats but to eliminate the surplus of capital that frees a population from toiling
away for the basic needs of life. The inconceivable tragedies preserved in the Talmud of
famine, exodus, and hardships are interpretations of the earliest of Jewish history and that
history was shaped and preserved in Libya in clay vessels which still sit beneath the sand.
The boycott against the Israeli boycott is a boycott of Judaic history that is denied and
perverted by the state oflsrael. The physical state oflsrael is an affront to God that
represents the fatalistic notion that God has failed, has turned his back on the Jews,
whether in the first Libyan Holocaust or the second European Holocaust, or in the failed
attempts of Libyan Zealots against the Roman Empire. Israel and the Talmudic

incantations that legitimize it have put themselves above God, against God, and therefore
Populations are intentionally curbed in wars of sectarian, religious, and ethnic strife that
have been studied and enacted upon the world with entities such as the IMF and United
Nations whose true purpose is cloaked in semantics and sealed in classified evidence
which is locked behind the chambers of secret governments, embodied in the Club of
Rome. The optimal model for population control has not changed, as Al Gore simply
reprinted the same exact tlow chart from Limits to Growth that can only be compared to
the inspirational literature of Herbert Kahn in its clarity and call for action.
South Carolina and Libya have both become targets for Israeli expansion and it is the
spectrum between them that is hidden and denied by politicians and academics who have
yet to practice what they preach, must less teach. This is the burden of Libyan
rediscovery that represents a universal history whose truths can breach the divide
between the subject that knows and the object that is known.

Suzie Scott Victim Female
Incident description
On Tuesday, September 16th, 20XX at 12:51 pm, Suzie Scott received an email notification from
twitter stating that Becky Simpleton requested to follow her. Becky Simpleton has been notified
previously and in writing that she is not to contact Suzie Scott at all even via social media.
Ms. Simpleton has had a previous BIT report filled out about her for harassment of Ms. Scott that
has occurred for over a year. There were also meetings with both parties and the perimeters were
defined.
Ms. Simpleton has broken these rules and therefore is committing "Disorderly Conduct with failure
to comply with University personnel"

Reported by
Na'me: Jim Bob Smith Title:
Professor
Email: smithjimbob@gmail.com
Involved persons
Debbie Johnson (909XXXXXXX) Victim Female
William Swanson (909XXXXXXX) Alleged Male
Incident Description
I called Dean Brown this morning to discuss a FaceBook page found by a member of our
Science Club at the URL: https://www.facebook.com/scienceclub
Mr. William Swanson claims to be a Catholic Bishop on sabbatical, an ex-CIA agent, a convicted
felon, a therapist, social worker, an airplane pilot who flies over faculty houses, and the list goes
on ...
He created a FaceBook page for the so-called: Behavioral Anthropology and Social Psychology
program, with its own improvised University logo. Debbie Johnson and I were unaware of this
until this week he attempted to "Like" our Science Club FB page. He was immediately blocked by
a student administrator. Attached is a zip archive with screen shots.
The "About" section states that the page is affiliated with the University and both
this his remarks that accompany posted news items misrepresent the fields of
archaeology. It misrepresents what we do in anthropology at the University and
exhibits a profound misunderstanding of the discipline;
In the "Like" Section, he has "Liked" the Society for American Archaeology, the
American Anthropological Association, Prinston University (my alma mater), and a
range of other academic societies and therefore has widely propagated this
misrepresentation.
Among his posted Images are photos of an archaeological field excavation directed
by Ms. Johnson for which he has no permission to post; Other images infringe on
intellectual property as they include bone specimens presently under analysis and
not-yet published by Ms. Johnson and her student research assistants;
Scrolling down the FB page, on the left side is a YouTube "tutorial" (?) on "How to
Conduct a Basic Archaeological Survey" that he presents on a blackboard. Worse,
he does not understand archaeological survey.
Because: 1) he has already received a BIT warning yet he persists in these kinds of
inappropriate behavior, and
2) he has described his "CIA-training" which presupposes familiarity with firearms, I
am concerned for the safety of all students interacting with the program.

Hi Dean, I was wondering if it was possible to schedule some time and space this Fall to conduct a
book signing and lecture on the book's subject matter (the complimentary nature of Science and
Religion). If it is, who would I contact to do that? I already have flyers and such made by the publisher
and the publisher will be assisting me with press releases and advertising the event.
Also, I have books coming and want to give you a signed copy. Is that OK?
Thanks

To: William Swanson
I would appreciate a copy, thank you. Let me look into your question - I'll get back with you.
William,
This is my first request from a student to do a book signing, etc. so I had to do some research. All such
student requests should go through Mr. Smith. He is the University liaison for our campus bookstore
(which is a 3rd party outsource). They will make any decisions and arrangements.
Also, ref earlier situation. I have decided to seek some therapy from the VA. It is free for me there, too.
The Th. there believes that I may be hypersensitive due to PTSD manifesting as a result of the shooting
of my partner and several other cases before and after that. That has been very enlightening to me.
Makes me a lot more conscious of what I am actually perceiving vs. what is truly being communicated.
I had no idea that the mere mention of a stimulus would elicit a response.
I don! know what I would do without your help, though. It was your suggestion that led me there.

There was fighting for many hours and several gladiators were being killed.
His brother Marcus and other Romans were also walking home was leading Lucius
home. In the middle of the arena, slaves were doing much. The arena, filed with
blood and bodies was being cleaned and the bodies of the animals was being hauled
away to a place where the bodies were being cute and the meat was given to the
people.
Here, very much blood was being covered by new band. Lighter wounds of
the other gladiators were being cared for on the same but others who had greater
wounds were being carried to the doctor. Dead gladiators were being carried by the
In other location, Probus and Astacius were talking about the fights. Probus
is German and Astacius is Umbricus. "Today, we are lucky Probus. We swore and
nevertheless we live."
"Yes, you spoke correctly," said Probus. "We fought well and without serious
injury. But the other unlucky ones also fought well and now are dead." While they
speak much, they watch those dead who were being slowly carried away by the
servants to the wagon. Among those dead, a small corpse of a beast fight, still

was mounded by his friends Probus and Astacius. The Oscan had always been a

These carts were carrying not only dead gladiators, but those animals and

Mrs. Liggett,
After looking over the paper work, and having a better idea from you over the phone regarding what exactly my infraction was, I would
certainly much rather have my fate in the hands of 12 of my peers.
I am actually still quite confused as to the exact nature of the violation. I urge you to reconsider, and if not, please adjust the process so that
the hearing among my peers is an option.

Sammi,
Please read this with the intention I intend, which is to spend your energy productively, not to be snarky
(my primary concern).
To request a CJC student conduct hearing regarding computer misuse et al charges as an avenue to
address your concerns about being.targeted is akin to taking I-95 south to get to Spaiianburg. You will
spend a lot of time and frustration trying to get somewhere and realize you have gotten no closer
because it cannot possibly get you to your destination.
The office of Equal Oppo1iunity Programs investigates allegations that involve being treated differently
because of race and/or religion.
A panel of three 19-22 year olds and two faculty/staff members cannot do that. What they will focus the
hearing on is whether emailing two classes you were not enrolled in using university resources is against
the verbage of the policy (the policy is word for word in your letter and email). Then they will address
whether the fact that three recipients of it felt scared enough to report it to authorities warrants further
code violations. They would have read the posting that is accusatory and decide whether it warranted a
harassment charge. So this conduct case that is otherwise resolved would get bigger and bigger, and you
would not accomplish the options that you just listed below. Because the panel do not deal with
disciplining faculty.
Worst case scenario they suspend you immediately and you lose the semester. You told me that
finishing this semester was the most important thing on Friday, so I'm worried that now you would risk
it. If you lost it, and they couldn't address the issues you so desperately wai1t addressed, the situation is
worse. You are getting on the on ramp San1mi, and I just want you to check your map.
Alisa
Mrs. Liggett,
Thank you for your concern. Once again, I am still unaware of the nature of my violation, as it
was not made clear. Please find time tomorrow as I have a fourteen day window in which to file
grievances. I must be clear: at no time was I informed of exactly what code I allegedly violated,
nor how exactly how said policy was violated, nor was I afford even proper documents which
---~-would have allowed for my own retrospection orcontestation~The horrors of war, the horror.of_____
death, I have seen and been made stronger for it. That being said, the blatant and unaddressed
racially and religiously centered verbal and psychological abuse, however, are recognized as
crimes even in times of war.
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 149 of 149
After examining your paperwork and reality of the situation, there is no doubt that I approached
you with my complaints of being targeted by both Josef Olmert and Leslie Wiser. Instead of
acknowledging my very valid concerns regarding the both individuals specifically targeting me
due to my race, my religion, my beliefs, and my background, and my character.
Once, again, given the circumstances, I humbly request you either reconsider your actions or
initiate a review among my peers. Only one person has to see what I have with dire urgency
brought to your attention repeatedly: That other than the 2 documented racial, ethnic, and
religious attacks that were clearly documented and ignored, no other issues with any other
professors or staff has occurred, nor will it. This due to the fact that all of my other professors
have absolutely no reason to hate, target and victimize an earnest student just for being Arab,
Muslim, Libyan, or of mixed race and/or cultural background, for aside from the two
documented exceptions, the faculty at USC are professional educators with all of the academic
and moral integrity due such positions.
Indeed, make no mistake, the situation was allowed by you to degenerate into problem I now
face, whereby such concerted neglect has threatened my very emotional, mental, and physical
well being.
Please address these concerns as soon as possible and consider this last attempt I will make to
remedy the situation at your office level, as my repeated yet ignored requests have begun to take
their toll in scale of grievance and academic consequences, whereby your failure to properly
address my complaints of discrimination has effected my ability to concentrate on my academic
coursework.
Give me a charge so that I can fight it, otherwise, please address the hostile environment that
has been repeatedly brought to the attention of your office. I do not feel safe, physically or
mentally, while my concerns are ignored. Please consider this correspondence my final attempt
to solve the matter without due representation.
Thank you again,
Sammi Addahoumi
