Forget Not
.... In effect, the courts concluded that the agents of the State of Texas are allowed to lie and forge documents as long as revenues are being generated for the City of Houston and the State of Texas. The truth is irrelevant, and State Laws/Codes are useless defenses for the defendant if the plaintiff is the State of Texas. The rights of the people as promised by State Laws/Codes are non-existent, and the State as plaintiff/defendant is not obligated to uphold its own Laws or Codes.

Who am I? Some call me L'Afrique. Academic background? I am mostly self-educated. Had two professors, years ago, flunked me, though the same would describe me as a genius. (I only answered logical questions. If a question was senseless, I crossed it out and rephrased, etc. Ha, ha, ha. No, no, no. I was too human to buy into a school system that programs instead of educate!) Must probably have had all the classroom education I needed, and would instead be steered towards precise self-education and education by experience and observation. In retrospect, never would have gained my needed insights from classroom only structure.

Why am I in the USA and why haven't I left? Three reasons: 1). I had to be here to especially witness the events of March 20, 2003 - tolerated acts I never would have believed possible in this time and age, 2). To henceforth be an advocate for the innocents of the United States of America(USA) and 3). Invested too much to leave empty-handed. If you were to perform a criminal background on me, you probably will get a sheet stretching from Detroit, Michigan, to Galveston, Texas. My actual crimes in Houston, Texas? Being human with my natural brain undisturbed and dare to have commonsense.

How could a society that seems to promote academic excellence be the same to wage war against its brightest and most perceptives? The evidences speak for themselves: You dare not ask any reasonable question in corporate America (else you will be out on the street) and you dare not question the acts of State agents (else you will be harassed with unjustified tickets or taken without probable cause to jail). Of course, often your unjustified tickets are immediately dismissed in court, depending on the bizarreness of the officer's act, but never without a cost to you. The three(3) to four(4) hours it took to resolve the unnecessary injustice is time you could have used to sleep in, run your errands, read, etc. See? Fines or no fines, you are still penalized for asking sensible questions; perhaps angrily and rudely. But then, which true human wouldn't, when being asked for identification without explanation, and you're neither at checkpoint nor is it law to require such? If you were to investigate the homeless on the streets and in shelters, and the non-felony violators out and in prison, you will find an overwhelming percentage actually are or were guilty of having commonsense. Why is having the ability to think considered criminal in Houston, Texas? Is the City of Houston or/and State of Texas(?) really strapped for funds that they will attempt to generate revenues at any cost, regardless of the trail havoc?

What justification is there for agents of the State of Texas confidently and unjustly using judicial processes other than for purposes of harassment, oppression and suppression of anyone who dare to think? Except for a concurrent result incident in 1998 where I threw stones at a window out of frustration and after justice denied, my crimes for my infinite criminal records are the result of my refusal to be dehumanized:

In 1990, I was taken to jail for tickets I thought the Judge had waived when the Judge told me, "I will let you off the hook this time". In 1994, I was taken to jail for driving with a suspended driver's license I had just renewed, and for a 1990 "no insurance" incident I had already been penalized for. In October of 1998, I was taken to jail twice: 1). for questioning the logic of agents of the State of Texas. A schizophrenic, my subleasor, called 911 alleging whatever. The law/agents of the State of Texas came banging on my door as though I were some wanted fugitive. When I asked what the matter was, the agents told me my subleasor said I assaulted her. I was then about 5feet, 5inches and weighed 125pounds. The subleasor was approximately 6feet and weighed approximately 200pounds. We were in a gated complex, and the woman met the law at the gate, about 0.33miles from the condo. The subleasor had no cuts or bruises, was not crying, looked perfectly normal. You would think the agents of the State should have then begin to be suspicious. Nope. The law took the sick woman's words as gospel truth, regardless, until I asked the law if the subleasor told them how I assaulted her. The agents laughed, and then turned and asked the subleasor for the first time, "yah, how did she(that's me) assault you(the subleasor)?" The subleasor told the law I did not assault her and that she, subleasor, just wanted me to pay for some clorox damage I caused to her toilet seat cover. Not believing my eyes, I instinctively said to the agents, if this is how you respond to complaints, then I now know why taxpayers keep paying more taxes. The agents told me, since I thought they were incompetent, "how about we(the law) take you to jail?" On what charge, I asked. The officers looked at each other and said, "we will tell you when we get to jail". The agents of the State of Texas took me to jail without a charge and would later fabricate an assault the sick complainant testified never happened, and 2). For throwing stones and breaking the condo's window. I had returned from jail to find my subleasor had vacated the premises taking all my belongings and leaving no note. When I called the law, the very law that had believed a schizophrenic told me the theft of my property was a civil matter and they could not help me. In 1999, the agents of the State of Texas took me to jail for alleged criminal trespass where I resided. I was five(5) days late with rent and the landlord unlawfully locked me out. While trying to figure the entry code, seeing I did not have the landlord's phone number, the law was called. As I tried to explain I resided at the property and had been unlawfully locked out, the agents of the State thought I was being smart. They yanked me off the steps and handcuffed me not because I refused to move, but simply because I told them I had been wronged. Though the landlord's agent came and had words with the agents of the State of Texas, the agents took me to jail for alleged criminal trespass where I resided. (The landlord's agent would later testify in court that the agents of the State of Texas told him I was a problem). In 2000, agents of the State of Texas took me to jail for speaking the truth. I had been waiting for a metro bus at the appropriate and valid metro bus stop when a metro bus driver I had no dealings with, decided he could tell me which stop I should wait at to board his bus, though I was already at an appropriate bus stop. When it dawned on the metro driver he could not boss me, the driver called the metro police. I told the metro police he ought to tell the metro driver to pick me up like the driver was suppose to, and the metro police told me I was not to tell him what to do. The metro police conferred with the metro driver and returned alleging I assaulted the metro driver by allegedly spitting on the metro driver, an act that never occurred.

I taxied for a while, and during the course received numerous tickets, not for any taxicab or State violations, but for simply being a thinker! (Oh, both valid and invalid citations to taxi-drivers are very common in Houston, Texas. Commercial motorists are usually the favorites of law officers and make a very lucrative source of income). Currently, there are tickets whose challenged validity and constitutionality are pending in court, all generated from conspiracy by agents of the State of Texas to harass, oppress, suppress and hopefully control me - (Update; Fall 2004: The courts refused to address my concerns and I refused to humor their fraudulent citations. They retaliated by stealing my purse (containing my crucial documents, most irreplaceable or currently difficult to replace) and by revoking my driver's license (well, I didn't care to renew after I received three(3) threats from the Texas Department of Public Safety to revoke my driver's license. You do not repeatedly threaten people unless you intend to carry through.) Touche indeed! They pushed me into the streets and have been lurking around like vultures, for what will be their destruction. And well, so be it! However, as a result of the query, the good, hardworking and smart motorists in the city of Houston are now putting their hard-earned monies in their pockets. As of Spring of 2004, the city of Houston has been trying desperately to make-up for the easy monies it unjustly generated from motorists: it would meter loading/unloading zones; extend parking meter hours in the normally dead Downtown Houston area; 3 days after it announced it would increase water utility bills because of demand, 2 water pipes somehow bursted by the Fannin street main entrance into Hermann Park, sometime around Easter 2004 (an emergency, you would think). But for at least 96hours, clear and pure water gushed out and, sounding like Niagara Falls, emptied down the drain.) -

A recent unjustified ticket that just got dismissed after a court trial was one alleging I had no insurance simply because the officer thought I was too slow in retrieving my insurance, and that I made an illegal right turn where posted sign prohibited action (eastbound on Westheimer street, between Post Oak boulevard and West Loop South), though there was no posted sign or even a lane drawn sign as the agent of the State of Texas would attempt to justify in court before Judges, even while I held photographic proofs of said location at time of alleged violation.

A conventional angel returned years ago, and probably the closest thing to sainthood the United States of America have ever known, but they have painted me every negative thing imaginable, simply because I dare to think in the "land of the free and the home of the brave". A woman of virtue and integrity. Never involved in any category or form of abusive substance. Does not even take aspirin (not to infer I am perfect or better than anyone). At an age when young ladies are busy pursuing romantic relationships, I was distracted and compelled to sadly focus on a self-destructive nation, gathering puzzles I never would have pieced together, but for the events of March 20, 2003 -

Apparently, lying and forging are not just a City of Houston, State of Texas saga. The world just witnessed the very top officials of the United States of America lie and fabricate documents on a group of people, all in an effort to disguise an old time profession almost everyone have forgotten existed, and at the expense of the lives of innocent, patriotic USA children and foreign people in their homeland. You know, it causes one to rethink and reassess every person the USA government ever labeled dangerous, a mad dog, etc. Until few days ago, you were considered out-of-sync or crazy if you did not believe Iraq's president Hussein was the mastermind behind 911, 2001, or that the man bought x and y from some African country. All for what? To hide piracy - I say hide because the ulterior motive was there for the finding by whomsoever looked; you couldn't have lived or schooled in the USA and/or known the history of the USA without seeing Texas, at a grander scale, in Iraq! Could most of these negatively labeled people (human elements notwithstanding) just be people who had various levels of commonsense and dared to stand against real evil?

The old barbaric profession is only remembered today by fanatics who somehow find such mischievous acts entertaining. Piracy at International level. Piracy at National level. Piracy at State and City levels. Decent, hardworking and determined people are without cause, robbed of their resources, hard-earned income and time. Still surprised how very sound and normal people have unfortunately taken extreme, drastic measures to combat such evil? Where, one might ask, are true humans that impostors and generic humans have infiltrated governments of nations with perfectly reasonable laws and by-laws, portraying decent, innocent and hardworking people as mindless rogues? As one famous or infamous man already said, "history will absolve me". Forget not. When we encourage the waging of war against sensible people, forget not. When we leave carnages behind, forget not.


Respectfully, L'Afrique
