POLYGRAPH ROLAND CLARKE ON THE KILLING OF DARREN RAINEY

Attn:  Oliver G Gilbert III - Mayor of Miami Gardens - Florida - USA          13:2:2019

Re:  Roland Clarke - Darren Rainey - Harold Hempstead

Dear Mayor Gilbert -

I am writing to you from Great Britain to express my deep concern over the fact that Roland Clarke is working for Miami Gardens Police Department -

For some years I have been working on the case of Darren Rainey - the mentally-disturbed 50 year-old black Muslim man who died under torture at Dade CI on 23rd June 2012 - Mr Rainey was steamed to death in a specially adapted shower which reached temperatures of over 160 degrees Fahrenheit - 

I have been in regular contact with Harold Hempstead - the primary witness to the killing of Darren Rainey and have learned a great deal about the circumstances of the case -

As you are probably aware - State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle closed the case on 17th March 2017 - finding no wrong-doing and bringing no prosecutions or other disciplinary action against the perpetrators -  I am aware of the official verdict and exactly how the case was handled -  

The following matters are now public knowledge:

Harold Hempstead has audio recordings of Roland Clarke admitting to using the adapted shower to punish mentally-disabled prisoners at Dade CI Transitional Care Unit - 

The recordings also feature Roland Clarke admitting that he killed Darren Rainey -

The video evidence submitted by Attorney Rundle was fraudulent and an attempt to pervert the course of justice through perjury -  As explained on his blog-site- Hempstead describes how the time and ID stamps on the video are from a different wing of the prison - NOT wing J-3 where the torture and killing actually occurred - 

I suggest that Ms Rundle be removed from office and prosecuted for the crime of deliberately misleading a jury with irrelevant evidence -  

Even though he has yet to be charged with any offence over the torture of at least five mental patients and the killing of Darren Rainey - I suggest that Roland Clarke is a huge discredit to the reputation not only of the police but also to the city of Miami Gardens - After killing Darren Rainey - Clarke actually boasted that he-d got away with it and that Harold Hempstead was his "co-defendant" - as at the time he believed that Hempstead was gong to cooperate with him and help cover up the crime -  In fact the opposite happened and Harold Hempstead has since dedicated his life to bringing justice to the case of Darren Rainey -   One of his suggestions in pursuit of this justice is that Roland Clarke should be given a polygraph or voice-stress test and questioned over his part in the death of Darren Rainey and the torturing of several other men in the super-heated steam-chamber - 

I am asking you sincerely to do just this and interview Roland Clarke on the above matters - I believe - in view of the irrefutable evidence that Harold Hempstead has which proves beyond any doubt that the torture and killing of Darren Rainey was crudely covered up in an outrageous miscarriage of justice - I believe that there will eventually be a re-trial and this time justice will be served -  It would do credit to the authorities of Miami Gardens if they were to take a proactive stance and interview Roland Clarke and establish the truth about the events of 23rd June 2012 -  

To quote from a recent letter from Harold Hempstead:  "In other words - a killer who is responsible for torturing mentally disabled inmates is employed for the Miami Gardens Police Department"

I am sure it is in the public interest to investigate Roland Clarke - and follow this up by taking appropriate action - Does Miami Gardens really want to be associated with a man like Roland Clarke~  

As part of his campaign for justice for Darren Rainey - who died a terrible death - Harold Hempstead has just published a book: "DEPARTMENT OF CORRUPTION - Darren Rainey - The Untold Story" which is essentially 400 pages of extremely detailed information on every aspect of the case - He has written several other books on this and related subjects which are all due for publication imminently -  He is also a qualified Para-Legal and a Minister of the Church and has been trained by the police in evidence-collection since the age of 13-

I ask you most sincerely to look into these matters I have raised and take action -

With best wishes -

BBC Misrepresented Jaimie Leigh Clark Then Ignored My Complaint

I wrote to the BBC about their grossly misleading headline which makes an innocent survivor of horrific police-violence look like a convicted criminal -  
Over a month later I have had no acknowledgment or response whatsoever from our nation’s government-licensed media-channel -  
As far as I’m concerned the British Broadcasting Corporation are complicit in crime if they fail to respond properly over this - 
Will Lord Tony hear my plea or will he cock a deaf ear to it?

Does this look like a prison or a 
police-station drop-off to you?

Open letter to:  Lord Tony Hall of Birkenhead, BBC  Director General  & Editor in Chief, Broadcasting House,  Portland Place, LONDON W1A 1AA.    

Date:  19 : 12 : 2017

Dear Lord Tony,

Re:  The BBC ’s Misrepresentation of James Clark

Historically and internationally the BBC has enjoyed a unique position and reputation – however it also carries a heavy responsibility as the primary news-channel of the British people.

Your organization has done a grave disservice to a citizen of Wales who was grievously assaulted and mutilated by Llanelli police on 20^th June 2016.

The headline on your website reads:   

Burry Port man has fingers cut off in prison cell door

Following an argument with his girlfriend James Clark was threatened with a stun-gun, violently arrested, driven to Llanelli Police Station where he was denied due process of being booked-in properly but muscled through the station in a headlock by a squad of large policemen – one of whom was smiling strangely.  (All this I learned from footage the State tried to supress.)

Once in the cell the film clearly shows Mr Clark being stripped naked, knelt on and visibly assaulted by these several large law-men.  This barbarity continued for some time before the squad departed which is when James Clark approached the LLANELLI POLICE-CELL door which was slammed on his fingers trapping his hand in the closed door.

As James Clark’s agonized screams filled the halls of LLANELLI POLICE STATION, rather than rushing to his aid, the men who had just finished working him over took a very long time indeed to respond and though they could see what was happening through the spy-hole and through the cameras, they opened the door very rapidly and slammed it on his hand again before finally releasing him.    

Though these cops found James Clark’s finger on the floor, they stuck him back in the cell alone, naked, beaten and now missing three fingers from his left hand.  He was then denied medical attention for approximately three hours.  That’s the background.

Therefore when your headline attributes this event to a PRISON it does two very deceptive things:

First it destroys any chance of public sympathy for this victim of intense police-violence by labelling him as a prisoner – many people assume that those in prison deserve whatever torments come their way.  Mr Clark was not convicted of any offence whatsoever.

Secondly, your headline takes all the focus off the police who slammed the cell-door on this man’s hand.  

It totally clears the police and gives them an undeserved protection from the natural reaction of the British people which, in this case, would be mainly one of horror and outrage, contempt and disgust.  You let them off the hook and your silence is violence as you have empowered these thugs to carry on battering citizens with impunity.

Thus you see the wording of a headline is vitally important and has a vast effect on people’s lives.

It’s a little odd that a busker and unpaid citizen-journalist like me has to tell the nation’s greatest news channel how to write a headline but luckily I’m here to rise to the occasion and happy to do so.

I would be most interested to know how the BBC intends to rectify this injustice done to Mr Clark through your gross misrepresentation.

Sincerely,    Jeremy Schanche

-----------------------------------------------------

This did not happen to a convicted man in prison but an innocent one in Llanelli Police Station - Wales

According to the various tentacles of the British State - no wrong has been done here - what do you think?  
Oh don-t let the BBC influence you - they can-t even write an accurate headline!  Or answer a letter - 
So keep on sucking Auntie-s tit babies and sup up the prolefeed   :-)

LAGOS

A Fisherman’s Tale

Once when I was fishing I fell overboard when hauling on a line  - I was  terrified as I bobbed slowly to the surface of the freezing numbing cold water in my heavy clothes and boots which I couldn’t seem to kick off.

When I surfaced I saw my tiny boat upside down in the waves and knew I had no chance of turning it over. My major muscles were already going into agonizing spasms of cramp and I knew that I was almost certainly going to be dead in about three - maybe four minutes.  All fishermen know the deal even if they don’t much like to talk about it.

I was in hell.  Every limb and portion of me wracked with pain and fear.  I was also choking on brine and vomiting uncontrollably. I started to trip out a bit, felt like I was melting or something - weird shit was happening and I knew I was dying. The glimpse of strange bliss disappeared and I felt the worst feelings I had ever known.

And then - a hand grabbed my back and hauled me into a small boat.

When I came round I was wrapped in blankets - and he was rubbing my feet. When he saw my groggy eye open he laughed heartily and passed me a bottle of cognac - “You’re some fuckin’ lucky - boy!” he laughed and soon I was laughing with him.

Lagos and I became inseparable buddies from that day on -  I owed him my life!  My very life!  But every time I tried to thank him he just took the piss and pretended it was all a great joke.

I would have cut my arm off for that man and loved him more dearly - with more warmth and fullness than I have ever loved another person in this world.

Naturally I regarded his nautical skills as almost supernaturally advanced and hero-worshipped him as a type of ideal man, hiding his many fine qualities under a bluff and blokey front. If I ever introduced him to people as “The Man Who Saved My Life” then he would always call me “Mr Flotsam” or some such thing.  Always avoiding praise and meeting any kind of flattery with his rich and original sense of humor.

Once I was out in my boat alone - without Lagos for once and I’d grabbed a local newspaper along with a few snacks and shoved them into a carrier-bag for the journey.  It was a beautiful sea so once I was out past Tater Du a bit I just sat and drifted, watching the ganets, or ’bomb-birds’ - as my daughter likes to call them.

I had a couple of bananas and a drink of juice and settled down to read the local paper - the notoriously dull Penwithershins Gazette.  

Local Man Leigh Goss Taken Into Custody On Heroin - Prostitution And Human-Trafficking Charges After Assault On Two Women -

Mr Goss (44) a fisherman from New Lynsmouth, will appear before Trewrew Magistrates on Monday following the discovery of several teenaged refugees at his remote country home in Trewither.  Almost an ounce of heroin was also removed along with several sets of shackles. Two women had to be hospitalized following the incident which eventually resulted in armed police surrounding the house.  More details will be released after the initial Hearing at Trewrew Court of Justice.

I looked at the waves so dark and cold, pulling me  down again.  My stomach cramped up like I’d been punched and I vomited over the picture of Lagos.

My head was spinning as again I stared into the dark boiling waves - Oh God!  What now!  What now?

MUD ON THE LOTUS

Here-s my criticism of and challenge to my former Lama - Spiritual Teacher - Guru and woman-abusing violent manipulative tyrant (as I have just discovered) the so-called Sogyal Rinpoche or Sonam Gyaltsen Lakar of Eastern Tibet - ostensible reincarnation of Terton Sogyal - founder and leader of the international Rigpa group of Dharma-Centres around the world - and raised and tutored by some of the very greatest yogis of the twentieth century -
Having this day read of his string of crimes - his resignation as leader of the Rigpa association - the accusatory letter signed by eight of his closest former students detailing years of habitual violence and sexual exploitation- the little incident of him punching a nun in the guts in the shrine-room in front of over a thousand people -
Whilst studying these horrors through the night I also followed up research on Kalu Rinpoche - the aged and venerable yogi who initiated me into Buddhism 30 years ago in Shoreditch - East London - and found that he too abused his consorts horribly so I also feel I must sever connection with this amazing person who died in the late twentieth century -
Interestingly I came across the confessional film made by his reincarnation - the 2nd Kalu Rinpoche - in which he describes with great sadness the sexual abuse he was subjected to which drove him to drug addiction and alcoholism before he eventually sent some decadent monks packing and - in the awareness of his own experiences - instituted a strict policy to protect the Sangha from the menace of sexual predation -
So in one night I feel I have lost the two Lamas who were my light for 30 years only to be deeply moved by the Honesty and Humanity of the 2nd Kalu Rinpoche and feel a growing devotion for this humble and thoroughly down-to-earth young man - I also have faith in the Karmapa and am sure he will play a massive role in this time -
I wrote the letter spontaneously and without revision - straight from the heart - straight to Sogyal-s heart -

MUD  ON  THE  LOTUS

An Open Letter To Sogyal Lakar aka Rinpoche          31:12:2017

Dear Sogyal –

I trusted you –

From Autumn 1987 until this day – for 30 years – I regarded you as my true Lama and even when going through long periods with no formal practice I still considered my link with you to be something of the very deepest significance and importance in my life –

I know you remember me – a hippy from London – from Cornwall – shaven head – drunk – Sikkim – Kathmandu -  French Alps – Harrow – attended teachings between 87 and 94 – my “seven years in Tibet” and you gave me probably more than any other human in terms of teaching reality and consciousness and profundity –

I keep seeing your fist hitting that poor nun in the stomach and just today I have heard all the terrible things about you from your closest students – I believe them to be true and that you are indeed a violent tyrant and vile sexual-predator –

I understand that your upbringing was most unusual and that you did not have normal human access to women nor the guidance or basic human culture of how to treat a lady – However this does not in the slightest degree exonerate you from your real crimes against many good-hearted trusting Chelas and also the grave spiritual crime you have committed against the Sangha – It is mind-blowing for me to say this Sogyal – coming from me – the lazy drunken hedonist who can-t let go of ignorance and pleasure-grasping – but you Sogyal have destroyed the Samaya – even His Holiness has called you “disgraced” and basically the game-s up!

I hear you are still teaching – this worries me – personally I think you should do one hundred thousand prostrations in the presence of every woman you have violated and bullied and also every man – prostrate to them and beg forgiveness with each prostration – that would be my answer –

Now I have to go and figure out how a pig like you – a violent beast – a tyrant who fucks women grunting and chucks them aside like the lowest whores – can also be the son of Manjushri!  The damage you have done to the cause of the Dharma is incalculable – the people you have turned away from the noble path are innumerable as the sands of the Ganges – You set up a glowing shrine of purity – kindness – profound vast knowledge – the mind itself – and you shat on it man – why did you do that ~ We gave you our hearts – in our way – us little westerners – we gave what we could and what we had – we followed you round the world listening to your wisdom and then you fucked it up!  You raised a beautiful lotus to emanate the blissful fragrance of truth  and loving-kindness and then you came back and stamped the lotus into the mud – spattering it in filth and breaking its fragile petals into pulp –

Can you grow another lotus ~

Can you retrieve the trust of all your students – followers – Chelas ~ can you ~ ever ~ I don-t think you are fit to teach until you have made good the harm you have done and I don-t know how you could achieve that -  not in one lifetime!

I also hear that you have cancer Sogyal and for that I am very sad and genuinely hope that you make a full recovery soon – My Christian friend in prison in Amerika – Harold Hempstead – says he would stand up to defend a Klansman from injustice just the same as he stood up for a disturbed Muslim drug-using convict who was steamed to death in a Florida prison shower – Harold is not full of shit and I trust him one hundred per cent – So just as Harold – the Caged Crusader – would defend the human rights of a fascist so in just the same way I wish you well and wish no harm on you ever – I know many people will now view you as All-Bad just as many once viewed you as All-Good and this will no doubt be a valuable part of your education –

How can you punch a nun ~ For fuck-s sake man!  How can you punch a nun ~

Well I can-t stop you punching nuns but I can cross you off the list of people who are worthy to teach me about ethics – let alone Enlightenment! 

This is very sad as I have also lost faith in Kalu Rinpoche (the 1^st) having just read of his crimes against women – in many ways this news hit me even harder than news of your crimes as I regarded Kalu Rinpoche as a living Milarepa and to discover that he was also a brutal tyrant and harmer and user of women is vastly disturbing to me – but also curiously liberating in itself –

This is because your crimes have reinforced my Anarchist belief that it is foolish to give power and authority to any other human being – This corresponds perfectly with Shakyamuni-s instruction to the Sangha to challenge him and try to find fault with his teachings – not to blindly accept him as an “authority” -  not to give away their discriminating-awareness –

I clearly remember you saying that we should respect the teachings – not you personally – but what you taught – the lineage and all that goes with it – I am just Sogyal – you once said – with such seeming modesty – and your words were true – your warning was valid – I respect the teachings as much as ever and try to live up to their spirit and avoid creating harm in the world – I have not done particularly well at this but I do try –

So obviously I have lost respect for you and faith – belief – trust – etc etc – but am still curious – you still know what you know – you still have your highly cultivated consciousness and awareness and knowledge – but how could you justify such brutal actions to yourself – is this culturally normal in the Lamaic world ~ is it normal to grab women and fuck them like animals ~ knock them around and threaten them with black-magic ~

I remember in Nepal getting pressure from “older students” for “not being mindful” when I drank beer and got loud and getting criticized by an Amerikan woman for walking on the right-hand side of a pillar at Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche-s monastery – “to the left” she barked – like a cop – (It was actually a woman highly respected for her sensitive work with dying patients!)  Such was the reverence to the minutiae and fine detail of oriental etiquette – Fair enough perhaps – I didn-t want to offend anyone-s sensibilities –

Well over here in Europe we have a certain etiquette towards women – They are our equals and sex is something that can happen when two people both want it – within a relationship that at least aspires towards a form of equality!  In treating women as you have – you-ve tragically done them terrible and cynical harm but have also cut yourself off from knowledge of a true – natural and happy relation between man and woman  - You must atone for your evils -  How strange to say it but Guru – you must atone for your evils -

Then there was all that bullshit in Australia –  teaching “wisdom” to a select group of the 1% super-wealthy Capitalists that run the country – and that million dollar pad they built you!  Why weren-t you in the ghetto helping the poor – the dispossessed – the down and outs and homeless people that live on the street ~  Why did you chose to hang with all the rich-pigs I wonder and ignore the poor and suffering of that great nation ~  Shouldn-t a Boddhisatva go to the lowest place and help the people who need help most ~  What-s the big attraction with dollars ~ This kind of gross materialistic vulgarity is profoundly damaging to the Dharma and is also corny and low-class – I work as an unpaid human-rights activist so I have to call out power-holding-hypocrites all the time as my daily business – I have become accustomed to criticizing local government – national government – murderous police and prison-guards and their corrupt bosses – government people and leaders – but I never ever in a million years thought I would have to call out my own Lama and call him a violent woman-abuser and corrupt criminal – like these worldly men that I fight as an expression of Dharma and truth – but hey – what a long strange trip it-s been! 

I remember Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche in France in 89 talking about the ups and downs of his life – from enthronement to begging and back again – such is this life brother Sogyal – my bad brother – I am so sad for what you have done and trying to understand how such refinement of spirit could coexist with such evil and brutal selfishness and ignorance – that is truly mystifying so I guess that counts as a mystical experience! 

Don-t teach Sogyal – learn!  Learn learn learn – and atone –

You are a man and I am a man – You helped me and now I am helping you by talking to you directly and telling you that the best thing you can do for the Holy Dharma is stop teaching – purify yourself and find a genuine way of making good the vile damage you have done to these tender and mother-like sentient beings – these gentle ladies who put their lives in your hungry hands –

I wish you well Sonam Gyaltsen and would be very happy to interview you for youtube if you are happy to talk to me – go ahead!

Sincerely – Jeremy Schanche – aka Karma Mingyur Dorje – Kernow - Britain                  

Calling Rigpa Sangha!

Well brothers and sisters I expect many of you are feeling it way way harder than me and are going through some most unwelcome changes – I have not seen any of you for over twenty years so don-t know who-s still alive or “on the scene” or anything but I had some very close and deep friendships with some of yous and I wanted to express my solidarity with you all and also to invite anyone who remembers me (or not) to contact me should they wish to discuss any of these bizarre and terrible happenings or simply just renew the old friendship –

In all my life I will never forget the amazing and profound loving-kindness I was shown by many of my fellow “practitioners” or “Buddhists” as the rest of the world calls us!  Mike from South London who used to drive me home to Shepherd-s Bush from Camden – you always embodied the soul of gentle kind wisdom and I-d love to hear from you man – so many other brothers and sisters – please get in touch – I miss you and love you all –

We must obviously not be too discouraged by all this shit but must learn from it – I guess we are all a little wiser – in a worldly kind of way – but wiser – It-s always better to know than not to know!

Cheers and kind wishes – Jeremy Schanche

Nun-punching pondered over

WHAT THE FUCK!  "You will die spitting up blood like Ian Maxwell" Sogyal-s quote about a good and kind man who I personally knew and respected deeply   Having read the letter from his close students and what Sogyal said about Ian Maxwell it-s hard not to despise and hate the guy - I-m a little shocked that the students believe Sogyal can be rehabilitated as a valid teacher rather than brought before a court of law for his many many many fucking horrible crimes - and I won-t let a corrupt fool like him destroy Buddhism for me - I think it is bigger than Mr Lakar -

THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF DARREN RAINEY’S BODY RELEASED IN A 5/6/17 MIAMI HERALD ARTICLE PROVE THE CONDITION OF DARREN RAINEY’S SKIN

On 3/17/17 when I was ghosted out of the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) at 3:30 am, the Dade County Florida State Attorney released their written decision to not prosecute Rainey’s killers.  About ten days after my 3/17/17 ghosting out of Florida against my will, I received the Dade County State Attorney’s 3/17/17 foregoing written decision and I was advised that since 3/17/17 the Dade County Florida State Attorney had told the media and numerous other people that one of the primary reasons they weren’t going to prosecute Rainey’s killers was because Darren Rainey’s skin allegedly wasn’t burned.  Now the people of Dade County Florida and the whole World can see the condition of Rainey’s skin when he was taken out of the shower, in the photographs of Darren Rainey’s dead body that the Miami Herald newspaper released on 5/6/17.

Now everybody can see why several inmates, two Dade C.I. security staff, and FDC Inspector General, three nurses, a Fire-Rescue Lieutenant and I, all said that Darren Rainey’s skin was burned.  Now everybody can see what I saw on the night Darren Rainey was murdered.  Now everybody can see that the Dade County Florida State Attorney and Medical Examiner didn’t uphold their oaths to be truthful when they both said Darren Rainey’s skin wasn’t burned.  The photographs the Miami Herald newspaper published in an article on 5/6/17 show how much the life of poor, black, mentally disabled, Muslim prisoner Darren Rainey don’t matter to the Miami-Dade Police Department, Dade County Florida State Attorney, and the Dade County Florida Medical Examiner.  

Now you can see what they did to Rainey, what do you think about this case?  Do you think it’s right what they did to Rainey?  Do you think it’s right that the Dade County Florida State Attorney is allowing Rainey’s killers to stay free?  Do you think it’s right that the Dade County Florida State Attorney and Medical Examiner lied to you and everybody in saying Rainey’s skin wasn’t burned?  My desire is to move you to join our fight for justice for Rainey and our fight for the value of life.  Please sign our petition on Change.org entitled THE LIFE OF BLACK, MENTALLY DISABLED MUSLIM PRISONER DARREN RAINEY DOES MATTER.

Harold Hempstead, ‘Caged Crusader.’

Publisher’s note:  The canvas shoe you can see in the shower is the same shoe that a convict was ordered to fill with Mr Rainey’s skin, the day after he died in the locked shower.  This convict was later ordered to “throw it in the trash.”  Thus a crime-scene was destroyed, with collusion from the police and prison authorities.
