This is an open letter to President Barack Obama
Hello, my name is William Colin Daugherty. These pages were originally an attempt to goad a president and his Justice department, from which much better was supposed to be expected, into enforcing the law and at least putting a stop to these exceedingly well known felonies that were then and still are in progress. This is no longer my aim. That a sitting President and Nobel Peace Prize winner who has practiced as a Civil Rights lawyer can be this criminally indifferent to on-going felonies of this nature, as well known as these, is illustrative of no one I can expect anything positive from. I am instead looking for any and all information from any source regarding any and all unlawful conduct being perpetrated against me. Please send any such info to: lookingforalawyer@yahoo.com . Also, you may also be able to leave information at my other webpages: http://www.myspace.com/508524101 and http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1791406216 .
PLEASE ALSO BEAR IN MIND THAT SINCE THERE ARE FELONIES IN PROGRESS, YOU HAVE A DUTY TO GO FORWARD TO FEDERAL AUTHORITIES, THAT THREE YEARS IN PRISON CAN RESULT IF YOU DO NOT (18USC4), AND THIS CAN BE DONE ANONYMOUSLY. THE F.B.I. WOULD LIKE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO!! THE ANONYMOUS TIP PAGE: https://tips.fbi.gov/ .
I'm looking to collect my due, just like everyone else, and exercise my freedom with the proceeds, just like everyone else.
In this country, it is a felony, under federal law alone, for "two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or
intimidate any person ...in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States..." (18USC241)
I have various legal rights & privileges under state and federal law(s). To name just a very few, to seek justice for wrongs not only done to me in the past, but still on-going, to enjoy my privacy, conduct my time as I please, not be kept from knowledge or exercise of any and all rights, privileges, and prerogatives be they in business matters or otherwise, and yes, even to acquire historic ships, or any other, for any lawful purpose. ( http://www.myspace.com/ssamericanracer )
This would especially be the case when the government has already had a policy of giving them away for years, and all the more so when the government is having to pay millions to have them destroyed.
The ships in question can not be replicated, they are too complex to faithfully replicate given the skill decay in modern shipbuilding and intrinsic differences with available modern marine technology.And harming people with the idea of making up for it later is wrong; after all, most people wouldn't consent to having loved ones murdered as long as they're cloned later, and at least in everything but personality, they could be faithfully replicated.
For two or more people to feloniously pervert the course of justice (as by 18USC4 [google it] ), to ensure my inability to exercise those rights & privileges would be to commit Conspiracy Against Rights and Privileges (18USC241), which is good for 10 years in prison.As you can see from the pages linked to above, these rights have not been respected, and people will need to pay, and with more than just money, for this. And since this is a country that has trillions to bailout millions of greedy bank and mortgage defrauders with, this could not possibly be a problem.
You aren't entitled to anymore of a vote on how I exercise my rights than I am to how you exercise yours.
It needs to be remembered that in this country, we don't get to molest people out of their freedom because so many of us are too extreme a bunch of losers to get what we want the right way.
This should surprise no one. If you take my freedom away, you deserve yours being taken away. Again, if your freedom hasn't proven profitable enough, too bad.
And to keep your mouth shut about others felonies, thereby making yourself a felon (18USC4), hoping that doing so will keep me in this distressed position, with the obvious hope that it will make me all the more receptive and pliant to whatever anyone else may want to accomplish, is an extreme example of an effort to "...prevent or hinder (my) free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured..." and is just what 18USC241 provides 10 years in prison for.
It really is pointless to go on this way. I'm not dealing with anyone who doesn't do right by me, especially to this extreme, and all the vulturing and loitering in the world won't change that. Further, the worsening economy and overall picture for the U.S. doesn't bode well for anyone counting on maintaining a safe, soft position to molest & keep me deprived from. It is amazing how many people persist in the mania of mistaking getting away with something for an entitlement. The coming instability will make continuing to get away with what's been going on substanitally uncertain.
What's worse, I have legal privileges to arrest people for felonies, and since deadly force is justified to prevent a felony, and since resisting arrest is often a felony, well, do the math. I have a right to defend my self. I have already been unlawfully arrested and imprisoned over this once, and it was wonderful the way the pigs responsible refused even to show up in court, since, after all, their crime was by then a matter of public court record.
You see, under 18USC242 (Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law), it is a federal crime if someone "...under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person... to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States..." In fact, under many state laws, I even have a right to "pre-emptive" self defense (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_self-defense).
Accordingly, for anyone hoping for a thug-cop bailout to keep you from having your behavior catch up with you, I wouldn't count on it. And any police attempting to keep me from arresting what would be a partner in crime, will themselves be arrested, and resistance will, almost surely, they being armed and practicing felons, end badly for them. And if it ends badly for me, I am quite sure, even if it takes years, they'll get a needle in their arm for it.
In fact, law enfarcement not only have the same criminal culpability everyone else does, but they belong locked up just for not putting a stop to this. You see, it is also a violation of Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242 (Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law) for law enforcement to effect a: "Failure to keep from harm: The public counts on its law enforcement officials to protect local communities. If it’s shown that an official willfully failed to keep an individual from harm, that official could be in violation of the color of law statute." (http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/civilrights/color_of_law/color-of-law)
As for more subtle molestation, since everybody from Obama on down already belongs locked up just for keeping quiet over this (18USC4), no judge in the country, everyone of them a felonious perverter of the course of justice to my detriment (18USC4) can sit in judgment of me. Just for starters, it's extremely against every judicial code of conduct.
Nor am I am not willing to be involved in, obstructed or hobbled by, or even take money from, the drug trade.
I am not going to be willing to take much more detriment because people don't feel like obeying the same laws for my sake that they're all so happy to benefit from themselves. The more extreme the measures I am forced to take, the uglier this will have to end for those putting me in such a position. There are fates worse than death, and I would imagine spending years in prison in an increasingly impoverished country would be one of them.
For years now, I have been trying to get the Department of Justice's F.B.I. to do something about a number of ongoing felonies I have been (and still am) the victim of. Cognizance of this matter is so widespread, that I have not been able to get anyone to swear a denial of knowledge and/or information of or involvement in the matter, and since you win in civil court in that event, why isn't the F.B.I. even willing to ask questions? If I could afford an attorney, I'd hire it done, but I can't, and as a result the violation of my rights, as well as the fraud and extortion no one can deny just goes on. Of course, once it hits the fan, it will be obvious that the authorities should have done something years ago, but how in the world do they think continuing to sit on it, and allowing it to go on, will remedy anything?
Do they not have the time to look into it? Well, it made national headlines when they found time to investigate whether NBA referee Tim Donaghy bet on basketball games over two seasons, including ones in which he officiated (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2943095) . If they have time to make national headlines doing this, why not investigate a string of ongoing felonies, the knowledge of being so widespread I haven't been able to get a verified denial out of over two dozen people? They weren't too busy with terrorism to investigate someone in the NBA. And did I mention this all started about 16 months before September 11, 2001? Well, there goes that excuse from every angle. I even have a witness willing to testify to the details I don't know!For more background on an earlier attempt at prompting action below, in addition to wanting justice and my rights respected for my own purposes, I have submitted information that has lead to two old ships (so far) being found eligible for National Historic Landmark status, and since this justice will ultimately come with a price tag, I intend to do something to save important pieces of our history with some of the proceeds. Unfortunately, these ships, despite their historic landmark status, will be scrapped soon unless I can save them, all this while all these people lie, the government shirks it's responsibility, and I am kept from justice that I've already been owed for years.
I have set up a website for one of the ships (http://www.myspace.com/ssamericanracer), and both the ships found eligible for the National Register (so far) were involved in Operation Frequent Wind.
The letter following below was one of the last to date of 3+ YEARS of attempts to try to get the F.B.I. to do something about this matter. Certain information is being withheld, since this will be posted on the internet, but was included in the original(s). Given the law above, as posted on their own website, their conduct is plainly reprehensible.

Special Agent-in-Charge Laura M. Laughlin
Federal Bureau of Investigation
1110 Third Avenue
Dear Special Agent-in-Charge Laura M. Laughlin & et seq.,
For years now I have been and still am suffering violations of 18USC241 by way of privacy violations, as well as extortion and fraud. This has been reported to the FBI on numerous occasions. In addition to my still being unable to find anyone who can verifiably deny having knowledge and/or information of/on the matter, I now have someone who says he knows the details of how and by who, for example, the privacy violations are being carried out and will testify to such.
As this is on-going criminal conduct, and as FBI white collar crimes supervisor Michael Schuldstad previously reviewed this matter and said this was just the kind of information needed to investigate, I demand this matter be investigated immediately.
Since 18USC241 not only protects rights, but even privileges, there is no doubt that, legally, the privacy violations do constitute a violation of that section, given that rights are stronger than privileges and we all have a well established constitutional right to privacy.
The name of the witness is ***************; his phone number is ************. He was last known to work for “Coast to Coast Marketing” evidently contracted to sell Comcast Cable subscriptions. He also works at Vitamin World (Wednesday mornings) at the Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood, Wa
Seattle, Washington 98101-2904
Alderwood Mall
3000 184th Street SW
Space # 366
Lynnwood, WA 98037
(425) 673-2930
They typically know when he’ll be working next. I’m not sure of his residence address, but he sometimes stays with his parents in ***************, **., and if you need their address, I can get it for you. He drives a 2002-2003 grey Nissan Pathfinder. I’m not sure how I can draw much more of a map for you, but what I allege is above and he indicated to me he has details. You are the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
This is difficult for me, because as I have said, while my rights have been being violated, it has been pointed out to your agency repeatedly that I’ve had people unwilling to even just verifiably deny this matter, and in civil court, due to the adverse inference clause, that move generally means those who remain silent lose. Civil cases are decided by a higher burden of proof than required for an arrest. Civil cases are decided by a preponderance of evidence. Arrests require only reasonable cause. And how much do you “need” to ask questions? There are on-going felonies here. And given the potential implications of Title 18 USC, Part I, Chapter 47, Section 1001, I’m sure asking questions will suffice. If you have any questions, the easiest way to reach me is probably by email as below.
Sincerely,
William Colin Daugherty
*******************
Lynnwood,
I will post more information about the attempts I have made to get the F.B.I. to do something, but after nearly a decade of this being allowed to go on, I quite justifiably got fed up and emailed and faxed a higher authority asking for help.

President
The White House
Washington,
Dear Mr. President,
I urgently need your assistance in a matter.
As you know, lately much public attention has been focused on the ships within the U.S. Maritime Administration's National Defense Reserve Fleets. I too have a desire to see the problems with these ships resolved, though I have a preservation oriented interest with a number of these ships, more than one of which is quite historic.
Unfortunately, illegal conduct on the part of others is entirely frustrating my ability to act accordingly. The perversion of the course of justice by way of misprision of fraud, extortion, and conspiracy against rights, and the lack of just results that would surely otherwise follow, is leaving me unable to act to exercise full rights and prerogatives with respect to that interest.
While the scrapping of a ship doesn't usually give rise to civil and possible criminal prosecution, in a case where that outcome would not have been possible "but for" the misprision of fraud, extortion and conspiracy against rights, an entirely different outcome should be expected. And in a case consisting of unlawful conduct this unprecedented in scale, scope and egregiousness, a simple profession of ignorance, given the unique facts of this case, isn't even going to seem plausible.
This is further illustrated by the complete (and often panicked) inability of anyone to date to verifiably deny knowledge, information, or involvement said matter. Given your background, I’ll assume you’re familiar with the ramifications of the “Adverse Inference” clause in civil law (when people are unable to deny things), as well as the fact that the threshold for initiation of criminal prosecution is lower than that for victory in a civil case.
As I have informed numerous people, I need people to behave lawfully, and those perverting the course of justice even while the victim personally comes looking for help wouldn’t be able to make themselves look much more reprehensible. I am unwilling to wait any longer to wait to have my rights and the rule of law respected.
Furthermore, under these circumstances, further issuance of scrapping contracts for ships I would otherwise acquire, would be the fruit of (felony) crimes. Also, since I would be all too happy to acquire some of these ships at no further cost to the government, the former administration’s policy of paying scrappers to dispose of them will continue to amount to misfeasance, with millions in taxpayer money already having been misspent that way. I know you wouldn’t want that.
Concurrently, since this matter entails violations of federal law, may those note the applicability of the following, as I will have those violators prosecuted accordingly:
Title 18 USC, Part I, Chapter 47, Section 1001
Ҥ 1001. Statements or entries generally
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both. If the matter relates to an offense under chapter 109A, 109B, 110, or 117, or section 1591, then the term of imprisonment imposed under this section shall be not more than 8 years…”
It should be remembered that in a case marked by unlawful conduct this unprecedented in scale, scope and egregiousness, those who, proximate to this, so obviously choose, personally and affirmatively, to refuse to act in accordance with the law, will not see their acts found pardonable. All those I have addressed have a choice to make, and will find the wrong choice, made so unforgivable by the very freedom with which it was made, very expensive, legally speaking. Not to mention that anyone perverting the course of justice even while the victim personally comes looking for help, wouldn’t be able to make themselves look much more reprehensible.
With respect to all of this, I have made numerous reports to the F.B.I. regarding this matter. These felonious violations have been ongoing for years, as have my attempts to get them to do their jobs. They have been given witness information which can put an end to the ongoing felonious violations of law. To date they have done nothing. For years. What I am asking from you personally, above all, is that you remedy this dereliction on the part of those in the aforementioned agency, so that the law may prevail, and an end may be put to this criminality.
For further reference as to the nature of the problem, it would include, but not necessarily be limited to: fraud, extortion, and conspiracy to against rights (as in 18USC241) and misprision of a felony (18USC4).
Of course, if you or any of your staff have any information, no matter how slight, I must ask that that information be passed to me, as well as to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.
Sincerely,
William Colin Daugherty

President Barack Hussein Obama
The White House
Washington,
Dear Mr. President,
For years now I have been and still am suffering, violations of my privacy by way of violation(s) of 18USC241* specifically by way of intrusion upon seclusion and public disclosure of private facts. This and more has been carried out on an unprecedented scale, ongoing for roughly a decade now, in three different states, from residences on the west coast to Indiana, all of this by its nature necessarily describing only one person, that seeming to make any denial difficult. Not that anyone has really tried; since all this has only been further confirmed by my having tried on numerous occasions and been unable to have anyone verifiably deny having knowledge and/or information on/of the matter.
This all seems important because the Supreme Court has held that “the Fifth Amendment does not forbid adverse inferences against parties to civil actions when they refuse to testify in response to probative evidence offered against them.” Baxter v. Palmigiano, 425 U.S. 308, 318 (1976). “[A]s Mr. Justice Brandeis declared, speaking for a unanimous court in the Tod case, ‘Silence is often evidence of the most persuasive character.’”
This is not the first time I have written you for help on this matter.
The only thing more absurd than all this is the misconduct which has allowed it to continue. While living in
Given the nature of this, including the dereliction of the F.B.I., the amount of time it has been allowed to go on, the evidently widespread cognizance of the matter, I hereby demand that you order a full and honest investigation into this matter, executed in good faith, as even the F.B.I. supervisor’s prior statements indicated, with there now being a witness, would be proper. Given the widespread cognizance of the matter, then by honesty, I mean to include a lack of misconduct on the part of the F.B.I. as well, conduct that would be a violation of Title 18 USC, Part I, Chapter 47, Section 1001, to wit:
“…whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry; “. In other words, I don’t want them misrepresenting their own cognizance of the matter.
Bush and his “Justice” department allowed this felonious molestation to go on for 8 years; this was, of course, massively encouraging to the molesters. Considering the statement on and exhibition of justice and the triumph of human rights and dignity your presidency is supposed to be and represent, -to say nothing of the Nobel prize you received and what is to be expected of any such person- to expect more conscientious conduct in this matter could hardly be unreasonable, and in fact, anything less would be an unforgivable outrage. Of whom much is given, much is expected; therefore, minimal decency and legality shouldn't be too much to ask for. As well ensconced and established as the ongoing criminal perversion and molestation is, I can no longer afford to wait for appropriate action to be taken. And the “we’re busy” excuse wouldn’t last an instant, as this situation predates even the events of September 11, 2001, and even since that, the F.B.I. hasn’t been too busy, for instance, to make national headlines investigating whether NBA referee Tim Donaghy bet on basketball games ones in which he officiated over two seasons: (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2943095).
I must further demand that any information you or any among your staff may have, regarding any unlawful conduct, be it conspired, perpetrated past or present, against me, be passed on to me right away. This request is being made pursuant to the adjudication of one administrative claim against the federal government since made and denied, with another and a lawsuit to come. My understanding is that anyone withholding such information with an understanding of the pendency of such events is committing obstruction of justice.
In summary,
· We have a situation of ongoing privacy violations unprecedented in scale, including public disclosure of private facts, which, by its very nature, would seem to suggest widespread cognizance, to say nothing of the effect of the criminal novelty of it all,
· This being corroborated by a very repetitive inability of anyone to legally deny any of it,
· Which the Supreme Court of the United States has repeatedly said is self evidently important (see above),
· Which would all seem to indicate a total lack of any mystery, but just in case that wasn’t enough,
· I have a witness who was repeatedly stated both cognizance of and a willingness to testify to the matter,
· That was what an F.B.I. supervisor said was needed to go forward,
· They’re absurdly not acting as they previously indicated they would/should in the event of this development,
· I won’t even require you to drink a beer with me in the White House garden! I just want you to do the clearly proper thing in the face of all this.
Finally, if the then non-existent rights of slaves were enough to justify a multi year civil war and half a million deaths, and if the civil rights struggles since were enough to justify all the laws passed, riots, National Guard(s) intercession and ultimately your presidency, then I believe my rights must be enough to warrant the speaking of the truth. There was no such lack of (unflattering) truth as to the evil and savagely hypocritical nature of slavery and the civil rights violations overcome later, that being no slight factor in the success of both the abolition and civil rights movements. I would hate to see your government proven more dishonest and hypocritical than the white slave-owners and separatists of the past.
Sincerely,
William Colin Daugherty
Lynnwood,
P.S.: * ”Section 241 of Title 18 is the civil rights conspiracy statute. Section 241 makes it unlawful for two or more persons to agree together to injure, threaten, or intimidate a person in any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the Unites States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same). Unlike most conspiracy statutes, Section 241 does not require that one of the conspirators commit an overt act prior to the conspiracy becoming a crime. “
Again, in the following, bear in mind that according to the F.B.I.'s own website (http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cid/civilrights/color.htm ), it is a violation of Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242 (Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law) for law enforcement to effect a: "Failure to keep from harm: The public counts on its law enforcement officials to protect local communities. If it’s shown that an official willfully failed to keep an individual from harm, that official could be in violation of the color of law statute."
