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

11, 2014. (Exhibit A and Exhibit B)


3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 2 of 44

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

contained an attached essay, contained no threats of any kind. (Exhibit C)

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

emphasis on profiling Muslims using discredited and biased sources. (Exhibit F)

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

classmates and instructors.

5. Wiser reported Addahoumi to Defendant Liggett several times, exaggerating and

misrepresenting the circumstances in each instant. Mr. Addahoumi was not informed of

these complaints nor was Addahoumi able to contest these accusations. (Exhibit D)

6. Wiser found Addahoumi's protected free speech activities to be entirely unacceptable,

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"

groups, faculty members, and other administrators. He ultimately summoned Addahourni

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.
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 3 of 44

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

and arbitrarily eject him from class. (Exhibit E)

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

threat of arrest in response to the outburst of another student (Exhibit F)

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

mandated that Addahoumi submit a "pass/fail" research paper. (Exhibit I)

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

threat to himself or others despite overwhelming contradictory evidence. (Exhibit K)

15. While the BIT defendants Olmert, Wiser Grewe, Liggett, Schneider and Bedford took

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

Addahoumi's numerous "Charge Letters" accusing Addahoumi with "erratic" speech.

Despite charging and sanctioning Addahoumi for "erratic" speech, no definition of

"erratic" was provided or available. (Exhibit K)

16. The BIT website contains vague and broadly-worded provisions that forbid

erratic" "verbal conduct" (that is, "erratic" speech) so that debates about controversial

topics, like racism, the Middle East, immigration policy, "trigger words," or even

feminism could be subject to investigation and sanction by university authorities due to

others being "offended" or "concerned" or "distressed". (Exhibit L)

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

"proof" that a problem exists". (Exhibit L)

18. A notation of the Carolinian Creed, incorporated each BIT letter of charge to Addahoumi,

states "Promoting Civility, Integrity, and the Ideals set forth in the Carolinian Creed to

~"--~----~~~--~
Foster a better living and learning environment in the University Community." The USC
-----------~----~~----~~------~-~-------~~--~------~~--------~--~---~~-~~--~-~-------~- --~------~--------------------~,~-~--~~-----------------~-----------------~--------~------

BIT policies facilitate a "heckler's veto" for other students who believe they have a right
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 5 of 44

not be offended or "distress" or "concerned" by discussions of serious social issues. And

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

protected free speech activities.

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

aware and involved. (Exhibit M and Exhibit N)

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.

NATURE OF CASE
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 6 of 44

22 .. This is a federal civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983. The decision to

suspend Addahoumi from USC and the methods employed to accomplish that objective

violated rights protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States

Constitution.

23. In addition defendants' actions violated Addahoumi's rights protected by the Americans

With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. 12131 et seq. (ADA), the Rehabilitation Act of

1973, 29 U.S.C. 701 et seq., the South Carolina Constitution, and the Health Insurance

Portability Accountability Act, ( HIP AA ), Pub. L. 104-191, 110 Stat. 1936 (codified as

amended in scattered sections of 42 U.S.C.). Defendant's actions also constituted a

breach of contract under South Carolina law.

24. Addahoumi seeks, inter alia, an order declaring Defendants actions in violation of the

aforementioned statutes and constitutional provisions. Addahoumi also seeks injunctive

relief and nominal, compensatory, and punitive damages to be determined by an impartial

jury, plus attorneys' fees and costs.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

42. The allegations set forth in paragraphs 1-41, supra, are incorporated herein by reference.

restaurant and bar in the 5 Points district adjacent to campus, followed by a second
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 11 of 44

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

liberties, Homeland Security, policing, and U.S. foreign policy.

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

mandated Addahoumi submit to psychological assessment to collect data that better

supported Liggett and Wiser' s own concerns.

46. Liggett, Wiser, Prill, and the USC BIT had three primary functions. Defendants gathered

information, analyzed this information through a series of subjective rubrics or set of

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

Three Phases of the USC BIT Plan for Mr. Addahoumi
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 12 of 44

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

back to ensure future BIT reports about Addahoumi's speech.

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

complaints filed about Addahoumi's speech or to filter out complaints about

Addahoumi' s academic and protected free speech.

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

Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

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

escalate their portrayal of Addahoumi as a dangerous threat. These included numerous

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

was somehow a threat to himself or others.

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

information gathering stage to begin again.

USC BIT Defendants Practices violated Addahoumi's Protected Freedom of Speech

and Freedom of Conscious

56. Defendants educated the campus community about Addahoumi's behaviors of concern

(his protected speech) and Reporting Procedures.

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

empower defendant's information flow regarding Addahoumi's speech. Defendants also

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

was observed or suspected. (Exhibit S)

59. Among other tools, USC BIT defendants used the "D Scale" from the NaBIT A Threat

Assessment tool to create simplistic and alarmist campus language describing

Addahoumi's protected free speech as mental-health related concerns.

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

defendants via the USC "Southeastern Student Conduct Institute". (Exhibit T)

61. Liggett, Prill, and defendants provided hyperactive, hyper vigilant consultation and

support to faculty, staff, administration, and students in assisting them to surveil, track,

_ -----~ .. --- mo11it()L.Q().f UII!~l1_tLct!1c:1!.e.p9i:J:_ll!!Y_~l1~~Qlil1.KJ2~()-~.!~c:l.fr~~~~~~QlJY~~~()1:1~J:!:1::t~. __ .... --~

could be portrayed as disruptive, threatening, or dangerous. (Exhibit T)


3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 15 of 44

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

interactions and any resulting emotions with Addahoumi. (Exhibit T)

63. Liggett, Wiser, and BIT defendants did not and would not provide any problem-solving

suggestions, conflict resolution ideas, or classroom/office management mechanisms and

training for addressing any alleged concerns about Addahoumi directly.

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

to overreaction to Addahoumi's speech concern. Defendants BIT intervention into

Addahoumi's speech made it impossible that a reporting individual could overestimate

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

varying expressions of Addahoumi' s protected free speech.

67. Liggett, Prill, and BIT defendants served as the central point of contact for individuals

concern or about Mr. Addahoumi's free speech. Defendants

portrayed and misrepresented Addahoumi as spiraling into a potentially harmful state,


3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 16 of 44

and mandated that members of the community pick up on signs and clues to support their

views, called "leakage."

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

record and student conduct file. (Exhibit U)

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

summary suspension of Addahoumi, and to mandate BIT psychological assessment of

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

information exchange regarding Addahoumi's protected speech between campus law

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

integration/coordination of the campus resources and mechanisms to facilitate BIT

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

possible for media, internal, and public dissemination.

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

for follow up by the BIT or Conduct Office regarding Addahoumi's protected speech.

provider) assigned to him of two weeks. Two weeks later, Addahoumi's name would automatically come up on the BIT "agenda," for
follow up by the team with either the reporter and/or Addahoumi. Another example was when defendants DID require Addahoumi to submit to
mandated assessment. The "deadline dates" were initially the times of each assessment session, and then (assuming Addahoumi remained in
school) for predetermined unreasonable intervals

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

other universities and schools to maintain continuity in Addahoumi's constitutional

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

communication between defendants is documented in the USC BIT Maxient database.

78. Liggett and BIT defendants never evaluated and determined the credibility of any alleged

threat, the seriousness of any supposed threat.

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

Addahoumi' s writings and statements.

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

campus counseling, to concoct a claim in retaliation for Addahoumi's speech activities

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

would support Liggett's view.

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

Pastides and social media posts regarding a variety of political issues.

85. Ironically, Wiser claimed to interpret Addahoumi's email and the attached Smart Policing

.
research for his cover story that Addahoumi was a threat. In fact,
-----=~~~--=~'------~.. -- ------

Addahoumi made the opposite point, that because of the Virginia Tech tragedy, the
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 20 of 44

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

they were not.

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

Liggett's asserted concerns. Addahoumi's history included no mental health records, no

record of threats, violence or even significant confrontations. At no time have issues

related to violence, threats of violence, or violent ideation arisen in Addahoumi' s

academic, social, professional, medical, mental, or legal history.

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

Judicial Council hearing regarding any alleged conduct violations. (Exhibit H)

89. On or about April 11th, notwithstanding the abundant evidence that any concerns about
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 21 of 44

notwithstanding Addahoumi's request for a CJC hearing, Liggett directed that a meeting

be held to discuss her planned response to Addahoumi's protected speech activities.

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 pursuant to the Constitution or to USC and/or Board policies, to suspend

Addahoumi from USC. Mr. Addahoumi was unaware that he had been suspended and

continued to demand a CJC hearing regarding any alleged conduct violations.

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

academic advisor. (Exhibit A).

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

computer use polices". (Exhibit B)

93. The suspension letter also demanded that Addahoumi "agree to willingly engage in any

amount of counseling stipulated by the university". (Exhibit B)

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

could result in a prolonged suspension". (Exhibit B)

95. USC Student Code of Conduct states:

"The Board of Trustees and the president of the university are ultimately responsible for
governing the university. The student conduct system is administered by the Division of
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 22 of 44

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
educationally meaningful manner."

96. The Code of Conduct defines computer misuse. It states "Computer Misuse: In addition

to adhering to the University's Network Access and Acceptable Use" Policy (IT

l.06http://www.sc.edu/policies/itl06.pdf), misusing University computing resources by

intentionally making, receiving, accessing, altering, using, providing or in any way

tampering with files, discs, programs, passwords, messages or other computer users

without their permission is prohibited. Using computer resources to harass others, or in

ways that violate institutional computer use policies, is prohibited".

97. At no time has Addahoumi ever obstructed, disrupted, or attempted to obstruct or disrupt

any campus activities or use computer resources to harass others, or in ways that violate

institutional computer use policies.

98. USC policies for student disciplinary procedures are set forth in the USC student Code of

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:

"Office of Student Judicial Programs. Investigation of Conduct - Upon receiving a report of


alleged misconduct, or upon his or her own initiative, the Director of Judicial Affairs or
designee may review relevant evidence and consult with relevant parties regarding the
incident in question. If the evidence warrants disciplinary action, the Office of Student
Judicial Programs will send written or email notification to the accused student or student
organization representative indicating the nature of the activity in question."
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 23 of 44

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)

101. The student or student organization representative is given the opportunity to

meet with the Director of Judicial Affairs or designee to discuss the allegations.

102. Addahoumi was not informed of any of his accusers. Defendant Liggett simply

told Addahoumi that he had been found responsible. Liggett directly and arbitrarily

denied Addahoumi a formal Carolina Judicial Council hearing, despite Addahoumi's

numerous requests. (Exhibit 0 and Exhibit P)

103. Liggett suspended Addahoumi on April 11, 2014. There was no discussion of the

exact allegation or who had made any allegations. If the student fails to meet with the

Director or designee, a hold may be placed on the student's registration preventing

him/her from registering for future classes until the matter is resolved.

104. In late April and early May Addahoumi found he was unable to register for the

one single class required for him to graduate. He was informed by the USC registrar

office of a hold on his registration from the Office of Student Conduct.

105. Additionally, the student may be charged with a violation of the "failure to

comply" provision of the student code of conduct (section E.15). A student organization

may be restricted from any or all activities until the representative meets with the

sanction by considering available evidence.


3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 24 of 44

106. Liggett repeatedly threatened Addahoumi with the charge of "Failure to Comply"

if he did not attend her numerous BIT meetings and assessments. Addahoumi repeatedly

asked Liggett what rule he had broken and repeatedly asked for a Carolina Judicial

Council hearing among his peers. (Exhibit 0 and Exhibit P)

107. ST AF6.26 states At the conclusion of this discussion regarding the charges, the

Director or designee may either drop the charges if they are unsupported by evidence, or

offer the following options to resolve the charges.

108. Despite each and every complaint being unsupported by any evidence

whatsoever, defendants Liggett and Grewe, and others investigated and sanctioned

Addahoumi.

109. Per STAF626 students are in entitled to an informal hearing with the Director or

designee (The Director or designee may decline to hear the case in this manner and

require one of the following two options). An informal hearing allows the charged party

(ies) to present evidence for consideration and suggest witnesses that the Director or

designee may consider interviewing before a decision is rendered.

110. At no time for was Addahoumi allowed to present evidence to Liggett during their

numerous mandated meetings and BIT assessments. At no time was Addahoumi allowed

to suggest witnesses or present evidence that Liggett might have considered reviewing or

interviewing before any decisions were rendered. (Exhibit 0 and Exhibit P)

111. Per STAF626, the Director or designee may contact other parties who have

knowledge/information regarding the incident in question. The charged student(s)

~

-
waives the right to question such parties or otherwise
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 25 of 44

participate in an evidentiary hearing. Defendant Liggett interviewed only the

complainant, never once actually bothering to interview any witnesses.

112. Per STAF6.26 students have the right to a formal hearing with the Director or

designee (the Director or designee may decline to hear the case and require that a

Carolina Judicial Council Hearing be held). This option allows the party(ies) charged to

respond to the charges, present witnesses and present questions for the witnesses to

answer. Formal hearings are tape-recorded. Within ten(lO) university business days of

this hearing, barring special circumstances requiring an extension of this time limit, the

Director or designee will send the charged party(ies) written notification which indicates

the finding of "responsible" or "not responsible" for the charges, and any sanctions

imposed subsequent to a finding of responsibility.

113. None of these rights or procedures were afforded to Addahoumi. This was

despite the documented fact that Addahoumi specifically and repeatedly asked for,

requested, and demanded a Carolina Judicial Council Hearing.

114. Per STAF6.26 Students are expected to comply with and respond appropriately to

the reasonable and lawful requests of University officials in the performance of their

duties. Students are expected to appear at conduct hearings to respond to allegations or

testify as a witness when reasonably notified to do so. A failure to properly comply with

or complete a sanction or obligation resulting from a conduct hearing or adjudication may

also be considered failure to comply with an official request.

115. Mr. Addahoumi was repeatedly threatened with charges of "Failure to Comply"
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 26 of 44

116. Liggett informed Addahoumi that his computer misuse charge was related to

harassment charges. (Exhibit 0 and Exhibit P)

117. USC Student Non-Discrimination and Non-Harassment Policy (STAF624) states,

in part:

"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
the U.S. Constitution. The University recognizes that the conduct prohibited in this
policy extends to behavior and speech that is not constitutionally protected and which
limits or denies the rights of students to participate or benefit in the educational
program."

118. Regarding harassment STAF624 states, in part:

" Harassment is a specific type of illegal discrimination. It includes conduct (oral,


written, graphic, or physical) which is directed against any student or group of students
because of or based upon one or more of the characteristics articulated in Section II
above, that is sufficiently severe, pervasive, or persistent so as to interfere with or limit
the ability of an individual or group to participate in or benefit from the programs,
services, and activities provided by the University. Such harmful conduct may include,
but is not limited to, objectionable epithets, demeaning depictions or treatment, and
threatened or actual abuse or harm. Harassment does not include the use of materials by
students or discussions involving students related to any characteristic articulated in
Section !!for academic purposes appropriate to the academic context" (Emphasis
added).

119. Liggett informed Addahoumi that his computer misuse charge was related to

accusations of harassment, yet Addahoumi was never informed who he supposedly

harassed nor how he supposedly harassed them. (Exhibit 0 and Exhibit P)

120. Upon information and belief, Liggett intended to frame Addahoumi's email to

Wiser as harassment, despite STAF624 clearly stating that "Harassment does not include

the use of materials by students or discussions involving students related to any


3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 27 of 44

characteristic articulated in Section II for academic purposes appropriate to the academic

context."

121. Most importantly, as per STAF6.26, the right of students are stated as follows:

A. Rights of Those Charged With Violations of the Code of Conduct

a. Those individuals and groups charged with violations have the following rights that are

protected throughout the hearing process.

b. The right to be notified in writing of their rights in the conduct process.

c. The right to be notified in writing of the charges against him/her/them with sufficient

time to prepare for a hearing. In the event that additional charges are brought, a further

written notice must be forwarded to the student(s) or student organization(s). The charged

student(s) or student organization(s) may waive the right to separate written notice of

additional charges in order to expedite the hearing process.

d. The right to be notified of the date, time, and place of formal hearings at least three (3)

University business days prior to the hearing.

e. The right to know the nature and source of the evidence used in a hearing process. This

includes the right to review all documents and exhibits to be introduced at a hearing as

well as a list of witnesses asked to testify at the hearing, upon the student's request.

f. The right to present evidence on one's own behalf.

g. The right to elect not to appear at the hearing, in which case the hearing shall be

conducted in the absence of the charged party(ies).

h. The right to refuse to answer any questions or make a statement. However, the hearing

draw inferences from this refusal.

i. The right to present questions for the witnesses to answer. The Hearing Officer/Council
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 28 of 44

may rule on relevance of these questions.

j. The right to be accompanied by an advisor throughout the hearing process. The advisor,

with the written permission of the charged student(s) or student organization(s), may:

i.Advise the accused regarding preparation for the hearing;

ii. Accompany the accused to all conduct proceedings;

iii. Have access to evidence to be introduced at the hearing

122. None of the above promised rights to USC students was afforded to Addahoumi

and all were directly and indirectly denied upon his request, from demanding a Carolina

Judicial Hearing, to demanding access to complaints and evidence, to confronting his

accusers. (Exhibit 0 and Exhibit P)

123. Per STAF6.26 any person charged with a violation of University rules shall have,

when needed, the aid of the University in the reasonable attainment of the information

necessary to answer the charges, or requesting the attendance of witnesses at the hearing.

124. Addahoumi was constantly and systematically denied any information necessary

to answer the charges or request the attendance of any witnesses at any hearing. (Exhibit

0 and Exhibit P)

125. Per STAF6.26 the charged party(ies) is/are responsible for presenting his/her own

case; advisors are therefore not permitted to speak to the hearing authority or participate

directly in any hearing.

126. Addahoumi was not allowed the responsibility for presenting his own case to

defendants.
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 29 of 44

127. The standard of proof utilized in all hearings and appeals to resolve Code of

Conduct charges shall be that of "preponderance of evidence" may be introduced at the

hearing.

128. Mr. Addahoumi was not allowed to present any evidence and was not afforded

any hearing.

129. As Per STAF6.26: the University may impose emergency action upon a student or

student organization when there is reason to believe, based upon available evidence, that

the student/student organization poses an immediate threat to the safety, health or welfare

of persons, property or to the orderly operation of the University. This action is warranted

by potential or threatened danger or disruption, and indicated when the nature or

immediacy of the threat requires immediate action.

130. Defendants have never had any reason, based upon available evidence, that

Addahoumi posed an immediate threat to the safety, health or welfare of persons,

property or to the orderly operation of the University. (Exhibit M and Exhibit N)

131. As per ST AF6.26 the action is interim in nature, pending the outcome of conduct

procedures. Violations of the below actions will result in a minimum of an immediate

one-year suspension as well as any other disciplinary action. Emergency action

authorized by this policy includes:

a. Emergency Suspension, Individual Student(s) - This action requires a student to leave

University property immediately, and not return during the suspension period, and/or

comply with other stated conditions for a specified period. Emergency suspension may be

for Emergency Limitation of Privileges, Individual Student - This action may place a
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 30 of 44

limitation on a student's eligibility for certain privileges, or participate in or attend certain

events (or certain kinds of events) without the suspension of enrollment status. This

action may prohibit a student's presence on University property or certain facilities, or

impose conditions that must be met in order for that student to have certain privileges,

participate in activities, or attend events. The Office of Student Judicial Programs may

impose this action.

132. When emergency action is taken against a student or student organization, the

student or student organization is given notice explaining the nature, reason for, and

duration of the action, as well as any conditions that may apply. A student notified of

such action shall, upon written request, be given an opportunity to meet with the

University authority taking the action within five (5) university business days from the

date of the request. This meeting shall be held to consider only the following issues

related to the emergency action:

a. The reliability of information alleging misconduct; and

b. Whether the conduct or surrounding circumstances reasonably indicate the student's

presence on campus or continued unrestricted participation in campus affairs or the

organization's unrestricted activities would pose a threat to the safety, health, or welfare

of persons or property and/or interfere with the orderly operation of the University. It is

not the purpose of the meeting to hear evidence concerning responsibility related to

pending or possible charges against the student.

133. None of the above stated procedures or rights were afford Addahoumi. Upon

information and USC has no

administrative suspension of which Addahoumi was the victim.


3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 31 of 44

134. No provision exists in either the USC student handbook, Student Code of

Conduct, or in Board of Trustees policies for unilaterally imposed administrative

withdrawal such as that imposed on Addahoumi.

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

actions and responsibilities of students and student organizations at the University of

South Carolina. STAF628 states:

"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.

FREEDOM OF ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION

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
. shouida-studentbebfilred from-adnussion-on-tlieb~isisof race.-creea~-seX,Ilruialcap,~-
religion, ancestry, national origin, genetics, sexual orientation or veteran status. Thus,
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.

PROTECTION OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

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.

PROTECTION AGAINST IMPROPER ACADEMIC EVALUATION

Students should have protection through orderly procedures against prejudiced or


capricious academic evaluation. At the same time, they are responsible for maintaining
standards of academic performance established for each course in which they are
enrolled.

PROTECTION AGAINST IMPROPER DISCLOSURE

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.

proper warrant. This does not prohibit normal inspections of University housing or other
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.

136. None of these promises, rights, assurances, or guarantees of academic freedom or

due process was afforded to Addahoumi. Each BIT incident report or student conduct

complaint focused solely on protect academic and political speech. Each complaint about

Addahoumi's protect speech resulted in Addahoumi being investigated, sanctioned, and

suspended.

137. STAF6.26 further states:

"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."

138. None of the above stated promises were afforded to Addahoumi. In fact, quite the

opposite occurred as the USC Behavioral Intervention Team, Office of Student Conduct,

and USCPD defendants did quite literally become thought police, and did, in fact,

sanction Addahoumi with unconstitutional Doublespeak, and continue to sanction

Addahoumi, merely for thought crimes and protected free speech.

COUNTl

42 U.S.C. 1983: FREE SPEECH CLAUSE VIOLATION

(ALL DEFENDANTS IN THEIR PERSONAL AND OFFICIAL CAPACITIES)

139. Addahoumi realleges each fact set forth in paragraphs 1 through 138 of this

complaint and incorporates them herein by reference.

140. Addahoumi's activities online, in research, and on campus were speech acts

protected from infringement by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

141. Defendants actions in conspiring to suspend Addahoumi from USC were


3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54 Page 35 of 44

142. Defendants stated reasons for suspending Addahoumi from USC were pretextual

and had no rational basis, being wholly contradicted by the views of mental health

professionals, communicated to Defendants, that Addahoumi posed no threat to self or

others at any time.

143. Because the law is clearly established in this area, and because Defendants had

(and have) fair warning that expelling a student from a public university in retaliation for

the exercise of First Amendment freedoms is unconstitutional, Defendants are liable, and

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL

Regarding Case Numb~~

Dear Mr. Addahoumi,

Thank you for meeting with me regarding an incident report suggesting that you may have been
responsible for violating USC's Student Code of Conduct. These student conduct meetings were
designed to educate students about community standards and to hold students accountable when those
standards are breached. I hope it achieved that purpose.

Code of Conduct charges resolved through a conduct hearing.

Your Code of Conduct charges and findings are as follows:

1. Misuse of Identification or University Resources - Computers --

You agreed to complete the following sanctions:

through December 10, 2014. You are required to vacate the campus by May 13, 2014. You are
prohibited from returning to campus or USC property without written permission from this office.
Failure to comply with this request may result in your arrest for trespassing.

To begin the re-enrollment process you must schedule a re-enrollment meeting for 30 minutes with
your conduct administrator prior to your registration hold being removed. In that meeting you will
discuss your progress and your goals for the new semester.

dishonest. The level of hate demonstrated in the paper and its rambling nature are disturbing.
Given the wide mood swings I have observed, especially between our last meeting and the
3/15 email, I have serious concerns about Mr. Addahoumi's stability. You may recall that Mr.
Addahoumi was removed from my class during the Fall semester because of his disruptive
behavior. I agreed to allow him to finish the course by submitting a paper. I thought he and I
had agreed on a topic, and I have earlier email documentation of my guidance to him. I had

I an now concerned for my safety and that of my family.
I have not responded to Mr. Addahoumi's email.
I can attach documents (including documentation of guidance for his assignment) but I do not
see a place on this form fodo so. The 3715 email follows: "'I I wislithings could have
been different. Here is the paper which i owe you . As were discussed no rubric for the paper,
I took it upon myself to tell the story that explains exactly why you did not want me in your
class. Truth is very very dangerous. This is passing paper. IF you decide to make things
difficult by failing me, you can add one more lawsuit that you will face in the city if

awful noise. Sammi Addahoumi"

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.

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 .

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.

Our suspect, however, hacks for a living; therefore it is called tapping, or in


this case splitting. Also, our suspect has proven by his ineptitude that he is
above the law and has been awarded Executive Merits from the highest office
in the world to prove it. More so, our suspect is the worst kind of sociopath: a
crooked cop paid to be an deceptive data broker, who dabbles in peddling
DARPA funded Unit 8200 Unix open-source database mining, packet sniffing
death gadgets that come with their own iPhone app, and servers to boot.

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 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.

Hundreds and Hundred of Billions of Hospitality tax extortion dollars are


laundered through companies that either exist on paper only. or "tech"
companies whose innovation includes how to destroy the U.S. Constitution,
not to mention the world, as fronts for DARPA or Unit 8200.

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

The militarization of the City of Columbia Police Department should show


anyone who can see a solar powered sun that these experiments will not end
well. At least not for the poor, the Black, the dissenters, or anyone who
attempts an audit of one single unaccountable billion exacted from the flesh of
Columbia taxpayers.

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

I am a white southern male, born and raised in Columbia, SC with 5


generations of family that have lived, as I do now, and have died, as I can only
hope to, within and just outside of Columbia city limits. The House family of
Lexington County is heritage.

The symbol of hate, of oppression, of Ben Tillman of Nathanial Bedford


Forrest, of Albert Pike and all those who control the strings of Columbia's
Marionette City Council Theatre, with performances of agonizing over the
Morals and Dogmas of our city, it is a tired performance of sad yet ruthless
desperation and addiction to power.

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

conjured, has constructed, so great an enemy, that he no longer digs through


used tampons for scrapes of post-it notes. So great was the power he
achieved and so easily was he able to dismiss any protests, that he has even
brainwashed himself in a lethal blowback whereby he proffers from the
expertise in the very misery which he constructed.

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.

point that is as evident at City Hall as it is on Capital Hill. Elected and


appointed officials, having long since blurred any distinction between the two,
have sold their positions of office in the same Faustian bargain which
promises that position, and to secure it, in exchange for keeping power out of

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.

As Beltline Boulevard disintegrated, crumbling under it's own weight, the


criminally neglected water and sewer system was finally exposed, both literally
and figuratively. Even then, what should have been a rational choice, fixing
the road, was simply ignored. Because the city no longer has it's own road
crew, a gaping hole became a gaping wound as the bureaucratic psycho
circus of collecting bids on the project subsumed any actual work.

Residents of the surrounding Sherwood Forest area could be forgiven for


thinking that their government had not only forgotten about them, but knew
quite well and simply did not even care, as no effort or consideration was

http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1104487 7/31/2017

extended to the the welfare of residents whether by informing them of the


project timeline OR EVEN have the common decency to let residents know
whether if was safe to drink the water coming out of their own facet.

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.

If felt so sorry for all of my neighbors, many elderly, as I observed them go


back and forth during construction, looking for a way just to get home though
the sprawled and expansive disaster area that peaked in confusion at morning
and evening rush hours. Hourly, the same cars went back and forth, forced to
navigate the disorganized and sloppily chaotic ad hoc worksite left nightly by
road contractors, exacerbated with unnecessary confusion and the
unavoidable knowledge that a small problem had been allowed to manifest
into an almost unbearable daily, hourly, inconvenience.

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.

I find it unfathomable, unthinkable, and irreprehensible, that City officials could


not even extend the decency of facilitating a detour route through the
construction, leaving the our children to mowed over by distracted and
frustrated drivers who used our streets and yards to bypass the mess for
weeks before work even began.

Weeks and weeks went by before work even began.

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

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.

*Are there any effects/impacts of the behavior?


I understand two students may want to drop the class becausae they fear Mr. Addahoumi.

* 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.

* What is your relationship to the student?

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~
input into part of an orderly discussion. Despite at least three cautions from me about conforming to counseling he
hael"'feeeive&by'*Waitfn{t't0'9e"reeognizedwtospeak.,Mr~ddahottmHnterrt1pted't>ther.gtudentswhonac:H~eeA~------
recognized, and he interrupted me. Sadly, Mr. Addahoumi has a viewpoint that could benefit a healthy debate about
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.

m about his continued participation in the class. They have expressed to


and me their concern for their safety. One student left the classroom while
y me to refrain from his outbursts.

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.

* Are there any effects/impacts of the behavior?


Students are lied to repeatedly, making the learning environment impossible without a critical assessment of his
teaching materials and lectures based on widely agreed upon academic criteria.

* 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.

* What is your relationship to the student?


3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 27 of 149

I enrolled in the class to fill academic requirements but such a thing requires academics and not special interests
monopolizing the learning environment.

Here is the truth:


Somehow all of this escapes his lecture on the topic and he refused to allow me to present it as contradicting his
conflicted interest, and forced me to leave the classroom.

Regarding Case Number: 2013063501

Dear Mr. Addahoumi,

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
remove yourself today, by withdrawing on VIP, you will receive a W. Person to person, I urge you to
weigh the gamble of adding an F to this situation.

I attempted to contact you by phone at noon to be sure you received this and so that we could talk
about it, but it appears you have forwarded your voicemail to the restaurant's voicemail and out of
respect for you, I didn't want to leave details of this information there.

I will see you for our meeting on Monday at 3:30pm.

Sincerely,

Alisa Cooney Liggett

Alleged Male

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.

Regarding Case Number(~012212401 \.

Dear Mr. Addahoumi,

The University of South Carolina is concerned about the well-being of all of its students. I have
received information that you may have been engaged in behavior(s) that have caused some concern
about your safety, health and/or well-being in the USC community. I hope that your situation is
improving. The university has a Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) and policies regarding acute
health and safety incidents, behaviors that are self-injurious, and behaviors that are disruptive to the
mission of the university.

Due to these concerns and policies, you must meet attend two meetings. Their will be two meetings
one will be with a member of the BIT and then the other meeting you will be assessed by a counselor
in the Counseling and Human Development Center (CHDC). Your first meeting is in the CHDC with
counselor, Bryant Kilbourn on the 7th floor of the James F. Byrnes building to begin your assessment
on May 8, 2013 at 2:00pm. Students must arrive 15 minutes early to the CHDC to complete
paperwork. You should inform the receptionist that you received a BIT letter. Your second meeting is
with a BIT member so that we can answer any questions and explain the concern and the next steps.-
This second meeting is on May 8, 2013 at 3:30pm with Julia Thompson in the Byrnes Building Suite
201 (901 Sumter St.).

The total assessment will conclude after four meetings at intervals to be determined by a counselor at
the CHDC. After you have been assessed by a counselor at the CHDC, the university's Behavioral
Intervention Team will discuss the situation and make a determination that takes into consideration
your best interest as well as the best interest of the University community.

Only information regarding your attendance and compliance with this request will be shared with
members of the BIT. The content of any counseling sessions will only be shared with the members of
the BIT with your consent or in accordance with the counselor's professional and legal standards and
guidelines.

Regarding Case Number: 2013063501

Dear Mr. Addahoumi,

Thank you for meeting with me regarding an incident report suggesting that you may have been
responsible for violating USC's Student Code of Conduct. These student conduct meetings were
designed to educate students about community standards and to hold students accountable when those
standards are breached. I hope it achieved that purpose.

In that meeting you acknowledged the essential accuracy of the report and agreed to have the resulting
Code of Conduct charges resolved through a conduct hearing.

Your Code of Conduct charges and findings are as follows:

1. Disruptive Activity - Classroom Disruption -- Responsible

You agreed to complete the following sanctions:

You are restricted from CRJU 491. Your presence in CRJU 491 without express written consent of the
Student Conduct and Academic Integrity will constitute a failure to comply and will result in
immediate disciplinary action up to and including summary suspension from the University.

You must complete a period of Conduct Probation beginning October 14, 2013 and continuing through
October 14, 2014. During this probationary period, any additional violations of University po.licy may
result in more severe sanctions, including suspension from the University.

With respect to the information listed above, the following additional sanctions/stipulations apply:

Sammi will not return to the classroom, but has willingly offered to propose an alternative plan to
Professor Wiser to finish the course in an independent study style in which he either completes
synopsis/analysis of the daily readings and completes the on-line tests, or completes a literature review
with parameters

What I Behavioral Intervention Team Page 1of1

"'7hat should I be concerned about?

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.

PHYSICAL SIGNS EMOTIONAL SIGNS

ACADEMIC SIGNS IMPORTANT TO NOTE

NOTE: In cases where a studenfs behavior poses an imminent threat to you or another, contact Police immediately at 911.

... ... MAKING AREFERRAL . .. .... ..
ll
.

What happens when I make a referral?

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 I Behavioral Intervention Team Page 1of1

How
Doi
Help?

Please consider the following:

Speaking with the student individually


Filling out a BIT referral

Show you care, connect on a feeling level, listen.

"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.

Ask about suicide directly.

"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.

Get help. Explore options. Offer resources.

"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."
Counseling and Psychiatry, 803-777-5223, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Byrnes Building, 7th floor. After hours, listen to
the voice message for emergency numbers.
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK
Call 911 or 7-9111 if this is an acute crisis.

What Not To Do

Do not promise to keep the person's thoughts of suicide a secret.


Do not leave the person alone.
Do not offer simple solutions.
Do not suggest drugs or alcohol as a solution.

REFERRALS TO OTHER USC CAMPUS PARTNER OFFICES

Off-Campus Assessment/ Intake

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.

Six-Week Alcohol/Drug Use Group

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.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment

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 <_< ___<_<__<_____<________<___________<~----<----

FAQs for Referrers I Behavioral Intervention Team Page 1of1

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.

What happens after I make the referral?

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.

What happens to the student in the BIT process?

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.

would meet diagnostic criteria for Bipolar Disorder. However, the cause of his mood
eymptoms le unclear. Given his history of cannabis and amphetamine use, it Is
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

VIOLENCE RISK ASSESSMENT

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.

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.

* Are there any effects/impacts of the behavior?


see above

* Have you made any attempts to address the behavior? How did the individual respond to the attempts?

POLI 362 Fowler
Libya: Spectrum of Rediscovery
04/20/2014

"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 wor1'
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."
-Harris Pastides,
-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 sp~ak in honor of Professor Donald Fowler and to mark

Professor Fowler's 501h year with the USC colleges of political science and mass
. .
communications, a career spanning half a century that began iri 1964.

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

she identified as "The Assault on Fact in American Politics".

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 IS

noble in the pursuit of higher wisdom, a responsibility that has historic precedence and

which is now being undermined with unprecedented impunity.

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

is a matter not of religion or politics, but of American national security.

The Middle Eastern and Islam World Studies program at USC has been eliminated by

and ensures that what very little does reach the classroom, or evening news., has

filtered and scrubbed to be void of all reality.

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

Middle Eastern studies is in spite of an overwhelming demand expressed by students, the

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
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 88 of 149

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

that his own brother makes known at every opportunity.

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,

in his position as former Mayor of Jerusalem, regarding an illegal Israeli housing

development. Dr. Josef Olmert has published 3 books of racist Zionist literature that

serve to reinforce notions of racial superiority and religious discrimination. Dr. Olmert is

the circular error that can be found in statements of the use 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

classroom of Don Fowler himself.

I have not been to Afghanistan, nor have I been to Jraq. I do, however, spend my summer

months walking across Egypt, Tunisia, and most extensively, Libya. When not

backpacking, hitchhiking, or otherwise wandering around North Africa, I reside where I

and one foot in the church, as though conceived on some long lost platform that once

straddled a divide across the Atlantic to Atlantis, from the beginning of history and the

first man, to convoluted notions of the End of History and the Last Man. f't.

I have seen tablets upon which the Alpha, the Tau, and the Omega, were reinterpreted

into the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, where Greek become Latin, yet for me these

were innovations, for I have slept in Garden of Hesperides, drank from the River Lenthe,

have swam in the lake where St. George did slay his Dragon, and have seen the signs of

God that became Judaism as stories of creation, flood, diaspora, and renewal have been

reinterpreted as Jew become Gentile and Jesus become Isa.

I know the true Shibboleth is but the mark of the Fascia, for I have walked from Carthage

to Alexandria and experienced the forgotten layers of history in between. I have lost

count how many times I have been to Rome, yet I remember so well the Africa in which

St. Mark was John Mark and where he took refuge from the persecution of the Romans

are hills and mountains whose cisterns still rise and fall with the Libyan Wadis. I have

slept in Wadi Marcus and seen his captors in the Arch of Marcus Arelius as I came to

learn the African memory of St. Mark.

I have camped at the Pillars of Hercules upon the Syrtic Divide and know that there is no

Clash of Civilizations for I slept quite soundly where East and West meet North and

South at the Gulf of Sidra, the center of the Ancient World.

From the Oracle of Siwa to Peachtree Rock, I have seen the seashells and the wild figs

that share wavelengths on a hidden spectrum and I have plucked both from the earth like

truth that that is to be revealed through the Libyan Sibyl, the Libyan prism.

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

foreign policy that is far more dangerous.

That America seeks to spread democracy while it is itself a Republic belies the fact that

what America seeks to spread is not democracy per se, but secular government that

interprets support oflsrael as a religious mandate. This is can be observed in America's

involvement with the current Egyptian regime and it's banishment of the Muslim

Brotherhood from the political process. After a less than public visit by Michelle

Bachman and other U.S. lawmakers to General Sisi, the widely popular political party

was outlawed and a violent crackdown imposed upon anyone who identifies with the
Muslim Brotherhood. Democracy was outlawed, and a military dictatorship was

legitimized with the sole requirement, recognition of Israel, accepted in place of

Democracy, with mass executions for any who resist.

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 91 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

subject and the object that is known.

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 1 Semitic genealogical deviations from the same father,

Abraham.

1 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 92 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 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

everyone of it's enemies.

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
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 93 of 149

a boycott, against the exposure needed to stop the batons and the dogs still bite and strike

and segregate by race.

Not only does the state of Israel not have a constitution, it is a state that by its very nature

is based on racial supremacy, on racial exclusion, on colonial expansionist ideals that

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

world, is the law of self-preservation. By this we fool ourselves into submission by

failing to address weaknesses that are exploited in our ignorance. Such is the issue of

terrorism and cyber security, just as it was the U.S.S. Liberty.

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.

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

at both ends that become apparent.

Libya has always been a target for empire and the tools of empire, whether the first

concentration camps or the first aerial bomb. It was America's first enemy, whether the

~~~pectr.1.mu1f1errorism.w.as~efined.for..themass{;onsumptioffduringBarbarrWars~

Operation Prairie Fire, or constructed for CNN primetime via it's continuation into

Operation Odyssey Dawn.

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

highest leve]s of American and Israeli government.

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

constructed wars, whether in Iraq or Syria.

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

costs are born by America

It is through South Carolina that Israel is preparing for a constructed war and Libya is the
gateway through which it will be facilitated. Israel will exploit the Jewish heritage in

both South Carolina and Libya to pave way for this war that plans to pit Zionism against

Fascism and whose construction is fast underway in the Ukraine.

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

faces is not from Islam or terrorism but the Savannah River Site. There, in South

Carolina, is a catastrophe waiting to happen. The nuclear waste of an entire nation, spent

waste even from Libya, is now stored indefinitely at SRS. There is a geological fault line

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

The most destructive earthquake ever recorded on the US Eastern Seaboard occurred

along this same fault line in 1897. There have been 2 earthquakes since the beginning of

event to come. Columbia, SC is home the DHS SLED FUSION Center wbacii

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

is perceived of as nihilist at best and depraved at worst by invisible power structures

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
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 98 of 149

incantations that legitimize it have put themselves above God, against God, and therefore

unaccountable in playing God.

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.

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.

* Are there any effects/impacts of the behavior?


see above

* 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

* What is your relationship to the student?


see above

* What is the purpose of this report?


I am not sure

Libya: Spectrum of Rediscovery

"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."
-Harris Pastides,
-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
'
Professor Fowler's 501h year with the USC colleges of political science and mass
. .
communications, a career spann1ng half a century that began irf 1964.

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

she identified as "The Assault on Fact in American Politics".

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

which is now being undennined with unprecedented impunity.

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

is a matter not of religion or politics, but of American national security.

The Middle Eastern and lslam World Studies program at USC has been eliminated by

the Middle East and Islamic world


3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 102 of 149

and ensures that what very little does reach the classroom, or evening news, has heal

filtered and scrubbed to be void of all reality.

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

Middle Eastern studies is in spite of an overwhelming demand expressed by students, the

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

that his own brother makes known at every opportunity.

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,

in his position as former Mayor of Jerusalem, regarding an illegal Israeli housing

development. Dr. Josef Olmert has published 3 books of racist Zionist literature that

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

classroom of Don Fowler himself.

I have not been to Afghanistan, nor have I been to Iraq. I do, however, spend my summer

months walking across Egypt, Tunisia, and most extensively, Libya. When not

backpacking, hitchhiking, or otherwise wandering around North Africa, I reside where I

I have seen tablets upon which the Alpha, the Tau, and the Omega, were reinterpreted ~.

into the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, where Greek become Latin, yet for me these

were innovations, for I have slept in Garden of Hesperides, drank from the River Lenthe,

have swam in the lake where St. George did slay his Dragon, and have seen the signs of

God that became Judaism as stories of creation, flood, diaspora, and renewal have been

reinterpreted as Jew become Gentile and Jesus become Isa.

I know the true Shibboleth is but the mark of the Fascia, for I have walked from Carthage

to Alexandria and experienced the forgotten layers of history in between. I have lost

count how many times I have been to Rome, yet I remember so well the Africa in which

St. Mark was John Mark and where he took refuge from the persecution of the Romans

are hills and mountains whose cisterns still rise and fall with the Libyan Wadis. I have

slept in Wadi Marcus and seen his captors in the Arch of Marcus Arelius as I came to

learn the African memory of St. Mark.

I have camped at the Pillars of Hercules upon the Syrtic Divide and know that there is no

Clash of Civilizations for I slept quite soundly where East and West meet North and

South at the Gulf of Sidra, the center of the Ancient World.

From the Oracle of Siwa to Peachtree Rock, I have seen the seashells and the wild figs

that share wavelengths on a hidden spectrum and I have plucked both from the earth like

truth that that is to be revealed through the Libyan Sibyl, the Libyan prism.
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 105 of 149

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

foreign policy that is far more dangerous.

That America seeks to spread democracy while it is itself a Republic belies the fact that

what America seeks to spread is not democracy per se, but secular government that

interprets support ofisrael as a religious mandate. This is can be observed in America's

involvement with the current Egyptian regime and it's banishment of the Muslim

Brotherhood from the political process. After a- less than public visit by Michelle

Baclunan and other U.S. lawmakers to General Sisi, the widely popular political party

was outlawed and a violent crackdown imposed upon anyone who identifies with the

Muslim Brotherhood. Democracy was outlawed, and a military dictatorship was

legitimized with the sole requirement, recognition of Israel, accepted in place of

Democracy, with mass executions for any who resist.

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

subject and the object that is known.

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

everyone of it's enemies.

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

a boycott, against the exposure needed to stop the batons and the dogs still bite and strike

and segregate by race.

Not only does the state of Israel not have a constitution, it is a state that by its very nature

is based on racial supremacy, on racial exclusion, on colonial expansionist ideals that

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

world, is the law of self-preservation. By this we fool ourselves into submission by

failing to address weaknesses that are exploited in our ignorance. Such is the issue of

terrorism and cyber security, just as it was the U.S.S. Liberty.

.
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

at both ends that become apparent.

Libya has always been a target for empire and the tools of empire, whether the first

concentration camps or the first aerial bomb. It was America's first enemy, whether the

,SJ1e_c.trum.0Jterrorism.was.definedJor:.tbe.massc0Rsumptionduring-Barbary-Wars,
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 109 of 149

Operation Prairie Fire, or constructed for CNN primetime via it's continuation into

Operation Odyssey Dawn.

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

highest levels of American and Israeli government.

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

3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 110 of 149

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

constructed wars, whether in Iraq or Syria.

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

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 fighta-s

in Syria. America's "ghost flights" only became rea] 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

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

costs are born by America

It is through South Carolina that Israel is preparing for a constructed war and Libya is the

gateway through which it will be facilitated. Israel will exploit the Jewish heritage in

both South Carolina and Libya to pave way for this war that plans to pit Zionism against

Fascism and whose construction is fast underway in the Ukraine.

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

faces is not from Islam or terrorism but the Savannah River Site. There, in South

Carolina, is a catastrophe waiting to happen. The nuclear waste of an entire nation, spent

waste even from Libya, is now stored indefinitely at SRS. There is a geological fault line

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

The most destructive earthquake ever recorded on the US Eastern Seaboard occurred

along this same fault line in 1897. There have been 2 earthquakes since the beginning of

event to come. Columbia, SC is home the DHS SLED FUSION Center Ulh-'iiilliiilllll

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

is perceived of as nihilist at best and depraved at worst by invisible power structures

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
3:16-cv-01571-CMC-SVH Date Filed 08/04/17 Entry Number 54-1 Page 113 of 149

incantations that legitimize it have put themselves above God, against God, and therefore

unaccountable in playing God.

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.

The Process
Coaching for the BIT Chair
Creating an Environment of Calm and Directed Leadership

The BIT Chair can be a daunting seat. There are many moving parts related to an
active BIT case, most of which are very dynamic in nature.

Effective Team leaders must have a working knowledge of data collection,


investigations, assessments tools such as the NaBITA Threat Assessment Tool
the SIVRA-35, VRAW2 , and an understanding of related mental health tests
and their results.

While the BIT Chair is responsible for ensuring that many tasks are completed,
they are not responsible for performing each.

In addition, the Chair must possess the skills necessary to conduct an


outcome based BIT meeting.

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.

Please note the following:

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.

Please give this matter your prompt attention.

Book signing and lecture idea.

William Swanson Fri, Nov 19, 2013 at 2:27 AM

To: Dean of Students

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.

I just need a place and I thought campus would be great.

Also, I have books coming and want to give you a signed copy. Is that OK?

Thanks

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.

Again, congratulations on being published again.

Yay! Thank you so much Dean.

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.

The End of Combat

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

slaves to the trained who to bury them.

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

other to be burned, to be bound, to be battered, to be kiJled with a sword-

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

holding the club of Hercules was being observed. This beast fight, named Celsus,

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

faithful friend.

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

destitute who died in the sand. Those dead who were free men were being returned

to their families. The criminals, who had done many evil deeds, were carried to a

place named Puticuli.

Towards this place, the destitute, criminals, and others who were of no

importance''were always being carried and were being thrown into a pit.

dishonest. The level of hate demonstrated in the paper and its rambling nature are disturbing.
Given the wide mood swings I have observed, especially between our last meeting and the
3/15 email, I have serious concerns about Mr. Addahoumi's stability. You may recall that Mr.
Addahoumi was removed from my class during the Fall semester because of his disruptive
behavior. I agreed to allow him to finish the course by submitting a paper. I thought he ai.nd I
had agreed on a topic, and I have earlier email documentation of my guidance to him. I had

I an now concerned for my safety and that of my family.
I have not responded tO Mr. Addahoum.i's email.
I can attach documents (including documentation of guidance for his assignment) but I do not
see a place on this form to do so. The 3/15 email follows: 'ii 12 [ I wish things could haye

Mrs. Liggett,

Once again, thank you for your call.

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.

Thank you again,

Sammi Addahoumi

And which dean would I address my concerns about mr. Wisers lack of teaching credentials and prejudiced nature of his lesson plans?

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,
