Homicide Charges For Corporations

The Red Collar Crime of Corporate America.

WHAT IS "RED COLLAR CRIME?

They are white collar crimes when people die and there are usually no criminal charges against the "Corporate Executives", responsible (162). Such crimes are often "Cloaked in a Veil of Secrecy"(1), as documented in an article about Firestone tires and GM gas tanks (1). In these two instances alone (1), over 400 families took the out of court settlement in exchange for sealing the records. Allowing more American's to die, because they did not put a stop to it. They "sealed the records".

The movie, "Class Action" (starring Gene Hackman) is an example of Red Collar Crime. A company knew that people would die, but it was cheaper to pay the wrongful death suits than to have a recall. So that was what they did and it was exposed in a court case, that the movie is based on. The movie Erin Brockovich is another examples of "Red Collar Crime".

The point being that no criminal charges were filed. Not even for a "Failure in a Duty to Rescue (57), let alone manslaughter. Other cultures simply call such people, "Infidels". Defined as "an individual (or group of people) that fail in their moral obligation to their fellow man". The fact that someone would even argue the legal aspect of "a duty to rescue" (57) just boggles the minds of some cultures. The people in the Middle East do not tolerate such things,and death sentences for it are more the norm,as explained at WHAT IS "RED COLLAR CRIME.

"Sunshine Laws" were passed to prevent such things, but have failed. Even so, the corporations could not do this alone. They are not the only ones to blame. After learning of so many people "sealing the records" how can I say that I would not if presented with the same situation ?

But now it is even worse with President Bush having signed the laws that "cap" liability law suits, last year. There is no motive for a corporation to "do the right thing". Not financial or criminal accountability. *See "Class Action Bill", an article with commentary before it was signed into law, and Contains Censored Information:> a letter signed by 46 State Attorney Generals was ignored by the Senate when they passed the bill,

Could our situation be the cause and effect of an unjust judicial system ( 101)? Could this be why Bin Laden calls us "infidels". Defined as "people that fail in their moral obligation to humanity". Does this implying that September 11 was in response to American Roulette?

We have to change the "corporate personhood " so that corporate executives can be held criminally liable for the crimes and murders that they commit with their corporations .

The story"How a Clerical Error Made Corporations People" documents, corporations are killing us and protecting the guilty parties (corporate executives) because of nothing more than a clerical error ! In reference:Project Censored 2004 - Story #13 : Corporate Personhood Challenged, WILD MATTERS, February 2003 Title: “Americans Revolt in Pennsylvania: New Battle Lines Are Drawn” Author: Thom Hartmann THE HIGHTOWER LOWDOWN, April 2003 Title: "How a Clerical Error Made Corporations 'People'" Author: Jim Hightower

The "Sunshine Laws" are not enough to stop this "American Roulette" and it's Red Collar Crimes (Project Censored 2004 - Story #13 ). The Corporate Crime Reporter has a rather good article about this and the caps on liability suits. Stating that there is little to stop corporate America from committing these "Red Collar Crimes", unless we start to get homicide charges brought against them.
Article titled, "The Next Wave – Call It Red Collar Crime", Corporate Crime Reporter 32(1), August 3, 2006

The article also involves an interview with a law professor. And besides all of that, they do give me credit for coining the term "Red Collar Crime", some years ago. (Started with my Firestone tire experience. I had made this web page, some time afterward). Besides all of that, I first learned of reckless homicide convictions against corporations from
the Corporate Crime Reporter. A mighty fine news source if you want to keep up to date with this. You have to love the concept of a daily top ten news report of corporate crime at

Excerpts From Reference 162

E. Michael McCann, a longtime district attorney of Milwaukee County, said he has prosecuted more than 10 corporations for reckless homicide over the last two decades and has won every case.

End Of Excerpts From Reference 162

Did you not ever wonder why corporate executives are not regularly charges with homicide or manslaughter for the crimes they commit with their corporations?

Maybe it is a "failure to communicate" ? Maybe other district attorney's do not know they can do this ? So far as I know, there is not a statute of limitations on homicide.

Frankly, I am all for starting a movement for criminal accountability against corporations for homicides they have committed. But wait, you should be warned, first.

The Political Fallout of Criminal Charges Against Corporations:
Cha Ching; The Failings Of Campaign Financing.

Maybe corporate executives are not regularly charges with homicide or manslaughter for the crimes they commit with their corporations because of the "political risks ?

What I have learned is that a book titled, "The Art Of War" is required reading for CEO's. . It is a two-thousand year old Chinese manuscript that has been translated into English. And that is the mentality employed by Corporate America. Here are some examples of their "General Operating Procedures".

The Los Angeles Times ran a story titled, "A Donor Who Had Big Allies"
- Los Angeles Times, January 8, 2006 By Richard A. Serrano and Stephen Braun,

Reps. John T. Doolittle and Richard W. Pombo joined forces with former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas to oppose an investigation by federal banking regulators into the affairs of Houston millionaire Charles Hurwitz, documents recently obtained by The Times show. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was seeking $300 million from Hurwitz for his role in the collapse of a Texas savings and loan that cost taxpayers $1.6 billion.

In key aspects, the Hurwitz case follows the pattern of the Abramoff scandal: members of Congress using their offices to do favors for a politically well-connected individual who, in turn, supplies them with campaign funds.

And the actions of the two Californians reflect DeLay's broad strategy of cementing relationships with individuals, business interests and lobbyists whose financial support enabled Republicans to extend their grip on Congress and on government agencies as well. The system DeLay developed and Abramoff took part in went beyond simple quid pro quo; it mobilized whatever GOP resources were available to help those who could help the party.

The investigation was ultimately dropped.

The effort to help Hurwitz began in 1999 when DeLay wrote a letter to the chairman of the FDIC denouncing the investigation of Hurwitz as a "form of harassment and deceit on the part of government employees." When the FDIC persisted, Doolittle and Pombo — both considered proteges of DeLay — used their power as members of the House Resources Committee to subpoena the agency's confidential records on the case, including details of the evidence FDIC investigators had compiled on Hurwitz.

Then, in 2001, the two congressmen inserted many of the sensitive documents into the Congressional Record, making them public and accessible to Hurwitz's lawyers, a move that FDIC officials said damaged the government's ability to pursue the banker.

The FDIC's chief spokesman characterized what Doolittle and Pombo did as "a seamy abuse of the legislative process." But soon afterward, in 2002, the FDIC dropped its case against Hurwitz, who had owned a controlling interest in the United Savings Assn. of Texas. United Savings' failure was one of the worst of the S&L debacles in the 1980s.

End of excerpts from "A Donor Who Had Big Allies". But a follow up with Internet searches revealed that an employee of the FDIC had a bit of a "career change", afterwards. She now works for a bank in Hawaii.....

Charles Hurwitz, owns Pacific Lumber. The corporation that has been opposed by Earth First and brought Julia Butterfly" Hill into public attention for her tree sitting activism against Pacific Lumber.

One well documented example of the "Political Fallout" of trying to use criminal charges against a corporation are the "Earth First" activists and any that would aid them:

The story about Pacific Lumber (owned by Charles Hurwitz) financing a recall campaign against the Humboldt District Attorney in the hundreds of thousands of dollars (G1), after the D.A. filed "fraud charges" against Pacific Lumber. You would think that there would be laws against that ? So what are Campaign Contribution Laws, anyway ?

So far, the California Attorney Generals Office has refused to even investigate a homicide complaint that I filed (hrm49) against the Pacific Lumber Co. Two of the responses are scanned and posted at reference (hrm49). A logger was FILMED threatening Earth First Activists that were documenting the fraudulent manner PL was cutting trees. The logger starting falling trees at them" as he had threatened to. A protester was killed and the Humboldt District Attorney says that they "do not have enough evidence to convict".

The story about Pacific Lumber financing a recall against the Humboldt District Attorney in the hundreds of thousands of dollars (G1) should give you a clue that we are not talking about "pocket change", here. It has been estimated that Pacific Lumber has made millions of dollars from fraudulently harvested trees. But I do not have an exact or substantiated figures and that estimate is based, so far, on "hear say". Not that I would want Pacific Lumber to file a slander suit against me. Activists that were trying to document some of this were charged with "trespassing" in what have become known as the S.L.A.P.P. Lawsuits. Another story documents break in's at the DA's home (G2).

David "Gypsy" Chain was murdered while documenting crimes of fraud that amount to RICCO violations that has brought illegal profits to Pacific Lumber CO in the millions of dollars.

There is no way that anyone could say that the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office is not under undo influence or " impartial" not to prosecute the Pacific Lumber CO for the "reckless homicide" of David "Gypsy" Chain.

We even suggested allowing the logger that dropped the tree that killed Gypsy (after threatening to do so and video taped) immunity from criminal charges in exchange for testimony against Pacific Lumber. That would cinch the case against Pacific Lumber, but the District Attorney does not want to discuss it (as of yet, no response).

See the attached news stories. Reference material: http://www.angelfire.com/hi/soberskidrow/Gypsyref.html

This is not "just about Gypsy". There has been a complete failure of the use of criminal charges against such corporations as Firestone, PEG& E, GM and others.

One of the "intentions" here is for an adequate investigation and criminal charges against Pacific Lumber for his death / murder. A man called Shunka Wakan was a witness to the murder of Gypsy. He has filed homicide complaints too. After being threatened with criminal charges if he did not "shut up" Shunka was also the "ground support" for Julia Butterfly Hill.

The other intention is to "start a trend" of criminal prosecution against corporations while raising the publics awareness that the "Corporate Personhood" is a sham, as reported by Project Censored and prevents prosecution of individuals responsible for murder.

Presently, I am working on the book, "American Roulette: the Red White and Blue of crime in America". The "chapter "Toxic Revelations" is in a state of flux.
