GUILTY
In case you haven’t seen the ‘news’, the USA vs. WINSTON SHROUT ended in a
guilty on all charges verdict. In this case there were ‘charges’ made by US
Attorney against the entity known as WINSTON SHROUT and then the job of the
attorney was to
somehow make a connection of WINSTON SHROUT and
Winston Shrout. This is always the standard method ... nothing new here.
When Winston motioned the court in a prove up as to just how that connection
was made, the judge immediately dismissed the motion. Win
ston was
prevented from questioning how the connection was made.
My question at
that time was basically what was the court afraid might be exposed in a prove
up type hearing? “Dismissed” ... okay, let’s move along.
It was standard procedure that when Winst
on made any motion
it was routinely
dismissed. This is not some ‘secret’, anyone can go to the court record and
trace the course of events for himself.
And there were no restrictions to the public. Anyone could have come and
watched the trial. I am not
telling some big ‘secret’ here.
But early on, t
his was starting to look like a slam
-
dunk for the prosecution.
If that was the case, then what ‘items’ could be inserted so that the whole
exercise was not just a total waste of time? I could see that it woul
d be a real
effort. I was blocked continually
.
Of course, I filed all of my assignment of reversionary interest and
authentication paperwork into the case, but to no effect as there was an agenda
here. I could see that this was not like when I get a traf
fic stop and after
running my STRAW MAN on their NCIC computer, the officer just comes and
gives back my paperwork, and sends me on my way. This is a whole lot
different from that. The ‘decision’ had already been made, and nothing would
stand in the way
of that.
Okay. I have no regrets. I have no accusations to make against anyone. I have
for years encouraged people to look in the ‘mirror’. For instance, when people
would contact me and observe that I had been indicted ... remember the mirror

... I would
just say the reverse of the concept and reply that ‘no, the government
did not indict me, the government indicted itself’. And they do this on a
continual basis.
Every battle field commander knows that to win or lose one battle does not win
or lose a war.
I am fully confident that the ‘big’ war has already been decided,
but yet like the Japanese soldier who was found decades after the end of WWII
on some remote island in the Pacific
who still thought the war was waging
, we
have some who think they can sti
ll win the war by picking off this or that
soldier. It won’t work.
Most people are not high enough in the ‘chain of command’ to experience what
I have had to deal with. Again, when I get pulled over in a low
-
level traffic
situation and after running my S
TRAW MAN on NCIC, the officer just sends me
on my way, that is on the day to day stuff most of us deal with. But since I
operate at some of the higher levels, and much of it on the international level, I
run into things that 99% of people don’t experience
. Naturally, the question
many would have is whether or not what happened to WINSTON will have
effect on them. I would guess, that no, in most normal circumstances that they
would not be positioned to be involved as is the case being described here.
I
h
ope that my words here would not be considered as vanity. This is not my
intent.
As the baseball player Yogi Be
rr
a
used to say: it ain’t over
‘
til
it’s
over.
In some respects, the ‘Guilty’ verdict actually helped me, as it
will
sort out a lot
of those who
are just ‘curious’ about all of this but who have no real
convictions. Some people who come upon a traffic accident faint at the sight of
blood. Some others of us who have a bit of first
-
aid training would be more
effective as we apply compresses over w
ounds or even a tourniquet to stop the
bleeding. Hopefully the volume of emails will drop off from the merely curious
giving me more time to teach
advanced first
-
aid technology. In my college years
I did take advanced first
-
aid. I have come upon situati
ons where that advanced
training may have been essential. And no, I do not faint at the sight of blood.
So, what now? Was it a total loss? I will go through the normal procedures with
sentencing and the appropriate appeal process. Hopefully, if it come
s to that,
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will see ‘things’ a bit differently. And I think
that will be the case. For those who don’t know, judges are trained at different
