Perhaps you should invite me too? I am formally inviting you Mr. Byrne to Boston to
stand beside me in court on November 19th.
He's coming here today and I've got him meeting with Trudy
Hey Jeff
Liar Liar pants on fire. Your bullshit is amazing put it could not have come at a
better point in time. Not only are you the top assistant to Attorney General, you
are also a member of the public. Anyone one has the right to buy the tape but you
can get any one you want for free. You should know as well as I that the clerk
must maintain the public record especially when the transcript of the very tape I
am demanding is in dispute with the Judicial Council. Talk to Michael Bray maybe
he has a copy. He ain't telling me shit. Or perhaps you should also talk to you
buddy you are covering for McAvity. You remember the man you wouldn't give me
the name of in the god damned letter you sent me when Ashcroft had me in jail
and you didn't think I could get out. You were just polishing me off and rubbing it
in. You know you pissed me off because I have been telling the world about the
bones I have to pick with you. Quit the double talk and find the god damned tape
before I sue the province because of you blatant malice towards me.
When my buddy went to order the tape in a clerk's office that was far from
busy, the phone started ringing off the wall. I have no doubt you were one of the
people that was busy calling Hampton dreaming up the recycle story. Your
prosecutor, the legal aid lawyer Galagher and many others witnessed the exchange
between Tonning and I on July 29th that prompted my Affidavit. In fact it was
the legal aid lawyer that introduced me to the matter when she complained of me
to Henrick. Michael Bray has a copy of the transcript of that hearing. It does not
agree with what was said. That is why the tape was destroyed. You know it.
Quite simply the Crown has practiced fraud against Mr. Tabor and I by selling
him a fraudulent transcript and then destroying the tape so that we cannot refute
it with hard evidence. However the spoken word of members of the public that
also witnessed Tonning and I discuss me being in his chambers years ago and him
witnessing some Yankee shit will not be easily ignored by a jury of our peers.
The fact that the tape has been destroyed speaks volumes in and of itself. As
I said to McAvity, he is an important witness to refute the edited transcript of
July 29th. Nevertheless I have many more tapes that I must argue with you but
first I must do so in the criminal complaint against me in the USA. Then I will
come back home and deal with you and your boss Brad Green. Never forget I have
a letter signed in his hand and I did exactly as he suggested and gave my stuff to
the Suffolk County District Attorney before he told me to. I was pleading with my
fellow Canadians to assist me in seeking justice and defend my dumb ass from
Ashcroft. In return you bastards practice fraud, assist crooks, throw me back to
the wolves and then write a letter to rub it in? See you in court sir.
You only received a copy of Wiretap Tape 139. The RCMP and CSIS received six
original tapes. However I have many more in Canada and the USA that you and I
have still to argue about. One tape from Hampton court don't mean a tinkers damn
to me right now but I want it because you don't want me to have it. I have bigger
fish to fry than you and you know it. You are just a little chump wiggling around in
my net as bait for the big boys to pounce on. I did not know who you were and I
would have left you alone until you sent me the snotty letter while I was in jail.
Now I will use you as the government employee and public servant that you are to
suit my own ends.
Try thinking outside of the box you are in and just get honest will ya? I have
enclosed a little story to explain how I think. You do not have an ethical or legal
delemma. You troubles are political just as mine are. Try fooling yourself some
more. You ain't fooling me because I am too stupid. When you are having a little
talk with Michael Bray ask him about me and my concerns. He heard me speak my
mind and he refrained from arguing because he knew I was taking him down a
garden path of good and evil where he did not want to go.
Say hey to the ladies Lynne Castonguay, Marie-Josie Groulx, Barb Baird and
Shirley Maclean for me will ya? Tell them for me that they are way past too late
to prove to me that they have the integrity defined by the Law Society that the
City Solicitor, Bruce Noble and the Yankee Carpetbagger, David Lutz seem to rule
over. Didn't the Province say ok to their rules before you took the job of
defending the Public from the Crown's prosecutions away from them? I witnessed
the Crown showing its ass to the public it serves on July 29th and everybody
knows it. Watch me prove it.
It also looks like I was right about Philip Lee and all the other University
professors as well. I made it a point to prove with him the rumors I heard about
me going around the ivy halls of college campuses. i had heard some folks say that
although I had a legitimate beef I should be ignored because I didn't have a
prayer. I just called him and left voicemail to let him know I will send someone to
ask about my stuff and pick it up now because even his friend who loves to label
herself as a doctor Alexandra Bain ain't interested in Cardinal Law's antics. Trust
that I wasn't surprised. I think it is time to give it to the students. Don't you? It
is their future you are all messing with as you cover your own fat arses.
Jeff perhaps you should call T.J. Burke and Kelly Lamrock and climb up the
politically correct side of them. They know that I ain't joking and I think Premier
lord's days in office may be numbered and the bell will toll on him in the next
election if not sooner byway of a confidence vote. All I need is a couple of
members of his own party to look to their own interests like Bernard Richard once
did and the fat lady will sing him out of office in short order. It was because I
was looking for Charles Leblanc to witness what I was about to serve them at
710 Queen St in answer to Leroy armstrong's challenge tome on June 18th that
your boss Brad Green had the Sergeant at Arms and the Fredericton cops throw
me out of the Legislative Building on June 24th.
David R. Amos
Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a
village moneylender.
The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a
bargain.
He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter.
Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the cunning money-lender
suggested that they let providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and
a white pebble into an empty money bag.
Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag.
1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.
2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.
3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.
They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent
over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two
black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag.
If you had to advise her, what would you have told her?
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a
cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and
imprisonment.
Take! a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us
appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking. The girl's dilemma
cannot be solved with traditional logical thinking. In other words, she need to think "outside the box."
Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers.
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and
let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.
"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you
will be able to tell which pebble I picked."
Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since
the money-lender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what s! seemed an impossible
situation into an extremely advantageous one.
Mr. Amos;
I have no knowledge of the status of the tape you are referring to. I have no control over it. Nor do I
have any knowledge of it’s content or that department’s procedures regarding retention of tapes. I have
no opposition to you receiving such tape but I also have no authority to obtain it for you. If the tape has
indeed been reused, it cannot simply be recreated out of thin air in any event. I cannot resolve any of
your issues or questions regarding tapes of court proceedings.
J. Mockler
Mr. Mockler
Things just went up another notch as of a very few minutes ago. It has just
been announced on TV that Whitey Bulger is willing to turn himself if the reward
for his bounty goes to his nephew. I just got off the phone to the Suffolk County
District Attorney. I know what I filed in court on Sept 3rd, 2004 and what I told
Judge Sidney Hanlon before I went to jail on Oct 1st as to Whitey Bulgers
whereabouts. Perhaps you should listen to the tape of the Police Commission's
interview with me on August 24th or talk to Constable Jim Case of the
Newfoundland Constabulary real soon. I am demanding the reward for his capture
and I am certainly entitled to it after my forcing the old bastard to surface. The
RCMP are very guilty in covering his tracks for him since the 1990's for the
benefit of far too many crooked politicians in Canada and the USA. In return for
my diligence you bastards send me to jail and then laugh at me? If you hear your
phone ringing it is likely me calling after I call the Police Commission.
David R. Amos
Mr. Mockler
Last week I sent a man to purchase a copy of recording of the hearing held in
Sussex Provincial Court before Judge Tonning that I have already received a copy
of a transcript of. The tape recording is necessary evidence to be used in my
defense in my pending criminal trial in the USA.
The clerk in Hampton claimed that the recording has been destroyed. If so
why? Is it not the public record and is to be preserved? You know as well as I
that the tape will not agree with the transcript. I truly believe that the witnesses
who are members of the public that were in court that day will prove to be far
more trustworthy that the lawyers, clerks or judges employed by New
Brunswick to uphold the law and the Public Trust or in fact the Assistant
Attorney General and his boss Brad Green. What say you sir? Do I get the tape
or don't I?
The letter you sent to me while I was in the Beantown jail was very offensive. I
will be using it as evidence in my defense in a Yankee court before I come home
and sue you ass. I look forward to meeting you in court and arguing you about your
integrity.

What are you trying to do sucker me? I am telling my own tale in court. I am suing your
company, Bell Canada. Get it?
May I suggest that you talk to your own lawyer, Martine Turcotte and decide what planet you all
come from. I just got out of a jail after being put there by the bastards your lawyers assisted to
cover up the crimes practiced against me. Discuss my troubles with Robert C, Pozen or Martine
Turcotte not me.
If you or any of your company wish to communicate with me, address your concerns to my
attorney, Joyce Richardson. Turcotte should have her number.
If Sunlife ain't figured it out yet as to why I am about to sue them. They had best check
with Jeff Carp about the stuff I sent him at MFS and his prior association with Hale and Dorr.
Jeff Rudman would be good fella to start with but defintely not the last within the aforesaid law
firm.

I think is time to let a little something out of the bag for the benefit
of a few Maritimers who think they know something about the Media.I
did notify CBC, the Rogers crowd and Harry Steele's folks that I knew
a little bit about the Media and that I had written a book about it.
Problem is I need an editor and I believe I may have found one.He
comes in the form of a disenchanted newspaper man. But the thing is I
want to put it on the web for all to read for free so there is no money
in it for him. So I guess I wiil sue some big company with a Prima
Facia complaint and settle for a lesser amount out of court. Lets just
say I am looking hard at you dudes. I had zeroed in on the Yankee
media long ago and I am certain folks within the Ottawa Citizen and
Democracy Watch had checked my work(Hey Duff say hey to Dan for
me) I have crossed paths with many of Globemedia's people many times
for many reasons and I can easily prove it. What I haven't bothered
to tell them that I knew the reason Gobal etc never mentioned me was
Frank McKenna and the Irving influence because basically that was a no
brainer anyway. However If Globemedia and all their cohorts didn't
think I knew about the influence Robert Pozen in Boston, you had best
think again. then give Mr. Spitzer, Mr. Galvin, Mr. Shelby and Mr.
Donaldson a call and drop my name along with Mr. Nesters and Mr.
Koski's and tell them my stuff is off to the Arar Commission I am
heading back to the USA to call Mr. Pozen and many folks he calls
friends to court. Perhaps in Ottawa Bill Rowe will truly speak for the
common man after all if the worm turns on his buddies. How do you
people sleep at night? What say you? Why not get honest with the
world and I will settle cheap? I will give one of your lawyers something
real soon before I serve Mr. Pozen his just due byway of this lawyer

Sun Life Financial Inc.'s Boston-based mutual fund arm will agree to a $50-million (U.S.)
settlement today with U.S. regulators over allegations the firm directed trading commissions to
brokerages in exchange for preferential treatment, according to people familiar with the matter.
Sources said Massachusetts Financial Services Co. will announce a deal with the Securities
and Exchange Commission this morning that will also include "compliance reforms," in addition
to a token $1 disgorgement penalty.
Eric Morse, a spokesman for MFS, declined to comment. A spokesman for the SEC refused to
discuss any talks with the firm.
The embattled fund company is hoping this settlement will enable it to move beyond the intense
public and regulatory scrutiny it has endured in the past several months.
In early February, MFS agreed to a $350-million settlement with the SEC and New York State
Attorney-General Eliot Spitzer for allegedly permitting improper trades in some of its bigger
funds. That figure included $225-million in penalties and restitution to investors, along with
$125-million in fee reductions spread out over the next five years.
The fallout within MFS, which manages about $140-billion in assets, was also considerable. Its
two highest-ranking officials -- chief executive officer John Ballen and president Kevin Parke --
were each fined and slapped with temporary suspensions by the SEC, leading to their
departures from the firm. Long-serving chairman Jeffrey Shames also retired in the aftermath of
MFS's problems, and was replaced by Robert Pozen, formerly a senior executive at Fidelity
Investments and onetime associate general counsel at the SEC.
Mr. Pozen has been charged with cleaning up the mess, and tightening the firm's internal
controls.
He has already hired new legal and compliance officers, added monitoring staff, and imposed a
ban on so-called "soft dollar" transactions. The firm also prohibited the practice of directing
trading fees to brokerages in exchange for being placed on a preferred list of customers and
receiving better visibility for its funds.
This latter arrangement, known in industry circles as "pay for play," is at the centre of MFS's
pending settlement with the SEC. Sources said the current settlement talks advanced fairly
quickly because of the voluntary compliance improvements MFS has undertaken.
In a recent interview with The Globe and Mail, Mr. Pozen attacked the basis of the regulator's
case as "very weak" and said it should have raised this as a problem when it conducted audits
of the company.
Nevertheless, he said he hoped to settle the matter quickly, in large part to avoid a costly legal
battle and prevent nervous investors from pulling their money out of MFS funds. So far, the
damage has been contained to one major client, the Illinois Teachers Retirement System, which
fired MFS last month as lead manager on a $664-million portfolio.
The SEC is investigating about a dozen other fund companies for directed brokerage, although
sources say MFS will settle individually, rather than as part of a group.
Last fall, brokerage powerhouse Morgan Stanley agreed to pay $50-million to settle charges it
failed to tell investors it was promoting funds with which the firm had a special arrangement.
Morgan Stanley had a "Partners Program" of 14 funds, including MFS, that paid "substantial"
fees in return for the brokerage steering their funds to investors, the SEC claimed.
The regulator indicated a few months ago it would begin investigating a number of fund
companies for directing commissions, but did not say which firms it would target.
Sun Life revealed in a filing that MFS was under investigation for this practice just a couple of
weeks after its first settlement with the SEC and Mr. Spitzer. The news came as a surprise to
most observers, some of whom criticized the insurer's CEO, Donald Stewart, for not disclosing
this probe earlier.
MFS is hoping to recoup some of the $175-million it must repay investors under the terms of the
first settlement by suing firms and individuals that engaged in market timing and late trading of
its funds. Market timing involves making frequent trades in and out of funds in order to cash in
on minor pricing discrepancies. It is not illegal, but is usually prohibited by many fund
companies, since the quick trading can raise administrative costs and undermine returns to
investors.
I would like to thank you for your email to W-FIVE, sorry for the delay in responding.
We review every email and story idea that we receive here at W-FIVE and give it
serious consideration. Your email has been forwarded to our executive and senior

Canadian Media Deregulation Provides Insight Into FCC
Proposal
Critics of consolidation say the integrity of the news is
being undermined by the effects of concentrated
ownership
The problem, Mills said, was that the new owners were
trying to dictate local editorial policy from corporate
headquarters.
Hey Jeff
Not a chance in hell I will. Not only are you Bruce Noble's buddy, you are a
Canadian lawyer at the top of the Roster in Public Service in the Province where I
ran for Parliament. You must answer me. You and your associates knew the truth
about everything all summer long. You only opted show me your arse while I was
locked up in a Yankee Jail with no Bail because you all thought I was Screwed Blued
and Tattoed by Ashcroft's friends.
A Yankee judge ordered my head examined for giving the Suffolk County District
Attorney some of the same bunch of wiretap tapes and proof of other crimes that
I given to Canadian law enforcement and pleaded for help before leaving my native
land? Obviously I must have a screw loose to expect the Law and the Public Trust
to be upheld. I might as well carry it on through to the bitter end. Because of your
stated expertise in electronic surveilance alone you are a very important witness in
my pending Criminal Trial in the USA.
I do have your signature and Michael Bray's as well both of you did admit to me
as to having the CD of wiretap tape # 129 in your files. As I told you on the phone
your really should start listening to the tapes that I gave to the RCMP, CISNB and
you dudes. I will have many questions for you or some other Canadian legal
representitive in a Yankee court before I come back home to sue the Province and
a great number of your friends.
David R. Amos
P.S. Clearly CSIS is involved in my matters. I can prove it many times over and
you know it as well. If you don't believe me, talk to ladies Margaret Bloodworth,
Eva Plunkett and Anne McLellan who used to teach law school in Fredicton about my
crap. Better yet ask Josie Maquire why she did not accept some of the tapes from
my wife as she laughed at me fuming in jail. You will find my letters to many people
in Canadian public service amongst the material you aready possess. There is a
great more to follow ask Martine Turcotte about that she told me her office
printed my stuff for over three days and then told my lawyer to go to hell just
before I went to jail. Mr. Mockler I do have your signature as well as your boss
Brad Green's. Trust me I will not go away just because you ask me to. You have to
much to answer for on behalf of your political friends.
Prior to the formation of CSIS, the use of intrusive investigative techniques was
authorized by the Solicitor General. Today, only the Federal Court of Canada can
authorize such a warrant. The warrant itself is the end product of a long and
intensive decision-making process. The warrant's affidavit, which establishes the
justification for an intrusive investigative technique, must first be reviewed by
CSIS managers, and subsequently by a senior committee within the Service chaired
by the Director. This committee includes representatives from the Department of
Justice and the Department of the Solicitor General. If the decision is to proceed
with the warrant application, the affidavit is then submitted to the Solicitor
General, who must approve it personally. Only after receiving the Solicitor
General's approval is the affidavit submitted to a judge of the Federal Court for a
decision.

How come you dudes were struck dumb about what I filed the very next day? I
say the Affidavit caused Cardinal Law to step down and run off on Dec 13th. No
one will argue that fact with me. What I would like to know is who scares you guys
the most Bush or Kerry?
Clearly they both hate me so your answers won't hurt my feelings any. Off
hand I would have to say Stevy is hard to the right side of the fence with a big
bag of peanuts and Chucky is sitting on the fence shitting his pants because he is
scared of both elephants and jackasses and he is ever so sorry he sent me the
cocky letter. We shall soon see want you will soon have to say in Court. Lawyers
can answer a summons with a Motion to Dismiss that their buddy the judge will
usually allow. However I don't think they can duck out the back when called as a
witness in a Criminal Trial. A jury will see that taking the Fifth ain't playing dumb
but obviously deceitful. It was a lawyer that made the false allegations against me.
It is only fair that I call lawyers to refute her claims. Interesting EH?
Former New Hampshire Attorney General Steve Merrill said the state's case against the Catholic
Diocese of Manchester was strengthened when documents were released last week in Massachusetts.
"The recent documents released by the Diocese of Massachusetts suggests that vigorous prosecution
was not only warranted but called for," said Merrill, of yesterday's settlement with the New Hampshire
diocese.
Those documents showed New Hampshire Bishop John B. McCormack may have ignored some abuse
allegations against priests when he served under Cardinal Bernard Law in Massachusetts.
An agreement reached yesterday says New Hampshire Attorney General Philip McLaughlin's office will
not prosecute the Catholic Diocese of Manchester for its past handling of sexual abuse allegations
against the clergy.
Merrill, who served as attorney general from 1985 to 1989, said convicting the diocese would have been
difficult.
"There are only losers in this case . . . the church loses, the victims lose, and even the attorney general
loses for not seeking a prosecution, although it would have been very, very, difficult," he said.
Merrill, who also served as New Hampshire governor, said prosecutors likely had not gathered enough
documents to prosecute the diocese yet, but they were clearly very close when the settlement was
announced yesterday.
"The more documents that are released, the more prosecutors have to use against clear wrongdoing,
including Bishop McCormack," he said.
But prosecuting an institution is difficult, Merrill said, "because there is no single wrongdoer that you can
demonize."
Former state prosecutor Charles Putnam said McLaughlin's effort to charge the diocese under the state's
endangering the welfare of a child statute "ground breaking."
"For a person to violate that statute they have to break a duty of care owed to a child -- more traditionally
applied to parents and custodial guardians of child," he said.
But in this instance, prosecutors have broadened the scope of that statute by applying it to an institution.
"The legal theory was that the church broke trust with the children that its priests regularly came in
contact with," he said.
Putnam was a prosecutor with the Attorney General's Office from 1986 to 2001, and a member of the
criminal justice bureau from 1996 to 2001.
He said that while McLaughlin may have been confident in securing a conviction, he was still aware of
the risks of going to trial.
"As professionals, (prosecutors) have to perform pretty complicated balancing acts, and assessments of
what the risks are. And my own view of it is that no intelligent lawyer overlooks the possibility that they
might lose and doesn't actively plan for that possibility."
Under yesterday's agreement, the Manchester diocese admitted some of its decisions resulted in the
abuse of minors. It also agreed to release thousands of its personnel records and to report future abuse
to law enforcement.
"When there is a non-litigated resolution that is going to get you 80 or 90 percent of what you could get
through litigation, that's going to be attractive to a prosecutor," Putnam said.
Putnam said the release of the church personnel files will help everyone move forward. The church did
not receive leniency from the attorney general's office, he said.
"Given the possibly ground-breaking nature of the investigation, and the legal theories involved in the
investigation, and ultimately the plea, I don't think it would be correct to say the church received lenient
treatment . . . I'm not aware of a similar acknowledgment of responsibility," he said.
". . .What I do think is the resolution of this investigation through this plea sends an important message
that prosecutors will vigorously pursue new legal theories if they believe it's in the public interest," he
said.
October 24 and 25, the Management Committee of the PC Party of Canada are meeting in
Ottawa to decide on the process by which this merger agreement will be brought before the
membership.
The MacKay/Harper accord (find it on the PC site: www.pcparty.ca under the link, 'Agreement
in Principle') calls for implementation by December 12 of this year (6 weeks from now!). It is
proposed that the membership vote be by mail-in ballot.
The agreement allows for membership sign-up in both parties to extend to November 30. This
enables the Canadian Alliance with a far bigger membership base than ours to swamp our ranks
and dilute our vote by directing their members to join the PC Party to vote not once but twice,
(once in the CA and once in the PCPC) this agreement into place.
The legal implications of this 'agreement in principle' are great. Among other things, the
constitution of the PCPC does not provide for dissolution of our Party, or for a mail-in vote for
that matter.
As you well know, Peter MacKay won the leadership of the PC Party on the strength of a signed
agreement with David Orchard, the first clause of which read, "no merger, joint candidates" with
the Canadian Alliance
Those pushing this merger are absolutely serious about dissolving the PC Party into the Canadian
Alliance. We have to be more vigilant than they in stopping this!
Help in pressuring the Management Committee of the PC Party to stop the ratification of this
merger agreement, and to demand that new members brought into the Party since Peter MacKay
became leader ( May 31, 03) be ineligible to vote on this deal (if it comes to a vote).
Tell the committee that this is an unconstitutional and illegal attempt to destroy the PC Party of
Canada, and that they (Management Committee) must not allow that to happen.

Management Committee at fax (613) 238-7429, e-mail: easton@winlaw.ca
