Bruno Bruhwiler, lead organizer of WeAreChangeLA, falsely accused of making a Terrorist Threat, faces 4-5 years

One of our fellow truth activists, Bruno Bruhwiler, is in need of financial help for his legal costs. If he loses his case and gets railroaded to prison on bogus charges, he faces 4-5 years in prison, and all of us as Americans will face a further erosion of our first Amendment rights.

It has been decided, we are going to trial by jury. I was offered to sign a false confession on more than one occasion, but I refused. If I’m going to prison, then 12 jurors will send me there.

Writing this article is a challenge. It’s tough to dodge pertinent issues that need to be saved for the trial. We can’t announce to the world all of the weaknesses of the other side, because then they will get a ‘heads up’. I’ve got such a powerful appeal already in the works, but I can’t go around telling people what that is.
Basically, I was ordered out of the court for shaking my head. That’s a ‘face crime’ in George Orwell’s book ‘1984?. The arresting officer had no authority to arrest me out in the hall. He fabricated charges against me after keeping me handcuffed for an hour. When I went through the booking process the officers brought up that I am a leader of the organization WeAreChange. I can only conjecture that the arresting officer looked me up before he pressed charges; hence, the Felony Terrorist Threat charge. As you can see near the end of this video from WeAreChange Colorado ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMbV9UnQ7rE ), officers of the law have been instructed to determine whether or not anybody they detain is a terrorist.

I am facing 3 baseless charges. 2x Felony Resisting Arrest, and 1x Felony Terrorist Threat. The prosecution only has perjured statements by an officer who is always under oath. The badge they wear means they are under oath. The judges have violated my due process rights at just about every hearing.

It has been decided, we are going to trial by jury. I was offered to sign a false confession on more than one occasion, but I refused. If I’m going to prison, then 12 jurors will send me there. I stand by my rights to due process, and my rights to dissent against tyranny at all levels of government.Allison Margolin who is partnered with her father, Bruce Margolin, now represents me. She got the misdemeanor contempt of court charge dropped in the Preliminary Hearing for lack of evidence. The prosecution announced that they also conceded to drop one of the felony resisting arrest charges for lack of evidence, but Judge Denise McLaughlin Bennett refused to let the prosecution drop the charge. An attorney in the Margolin law firm said, “In my 20 years as a defense attorney, I’ve never seen anything like that.” The disrespect and disregard that the law enforcement officers, the judges and prosecutors have shown for our justice system is alarming. They are trying to put me away. If I lose this case, I could go to prison for as much as 4 or 5 years.

I am lucky to have so many people around me who care about me, and who care about the need to push back against tyranny. We have been collecting overwhelming evidence to secure my freedom on multiple fronts. Unfortunately, for us to use the justice system takes money… lots of money. The primary reason I wish I wasn’t in court the day I was falsely imprisoned is because I find it difficult to ever ask anybody for money, especially during these hard times. We have not asked for money in the past several months because I wanted us to have a definite need before I asked. We now need the money.

My attorney needs another $10,000 to go to trial. I believe Allison Margolin will fight on all fronts for me to secure my freedom. I need conservatively another $3000 to go on the offensive against the corruption displayed by the officers of the courts. This case is now about more than proving my innocence. This case is about helping in the struggle to expose the corruption in our justice system. Plus, I am still about $9,000 in debt to those who loaned me money to bail out of jail. Please donate any amount you can. We have a learned a lot during this ordeal. In the meantime, at WeAreChangeLA we have been organizing two or more large street actions each month, having film screenings, and doing what we can to support other truth activists and to spread information.

Thank you everyone for all you do. We’re all making a difference. Special thanks to my brother, Jay Blaq at http://www.JoomlaXTC.com
