Legal Abuse Syndrome LEGAL ABUSE SYNDROME IS A NATURAL AND NORMAL RESPONSE TO AN ABNORMAL, UNNATURAL, CUMULATIVE TRAUMA CAUSED BY PROLONGED INJUSTICE IN A DYSFUNTIONAL JUDICIAL SYSTEM. IT IS A FORM OF POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER, A BILLABLE DIAGNOSIS IN DSM-5, (DIAGNOSTIC AND STATISTICAL MANUAL OF MENTAL DISORDERS, FIFTH EDITION). ICD-9 code: 309.81 (ICD-10 code: F43.10)

If you are deeply disillusioned and feeling oppressed as an American citizen, resulting from experience with our justice system, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome. If youve been a litigant in court and justice was not obtained at any price, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome. If you fantasize about an act of vigilante vengeance because it seems like the only recourse, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome. If youve reported a crime and found that you were punished instead of the criminal, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

If creativity and dreams have been left in the past because their development was ripped from you and torn to shreds by your protective systems, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome. If you feel numb, disconnected, and vulnerable, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome. If you feel that the system will defeat you at every turn and there is nothing you can do about it, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

If you feel that you have been victimized twice, once by a perpetrator and then by your protective system, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome. If you feel that you are a decent and honorable taxpayer whos been subjected to cruel and unusual punishment by lawyers, judges, and officers of the court, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. -Ronald Reagan.

Some of Symptoms Common in LAS: Intrusive thoughts and nightmares seep in through the numbness. Difficulty concentrating. Painful Memories; Unrelenting flashbacks. The victims will route themselves around reminders, and cringe from people, songs, news stories, or events that trigger memories and intense distress. Ordinary activities require tremendous energy; the victim is mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted.

The victim trusts no one. Distrust has reached the point that it has begun to erode the quality of the victim's life. They feels off-balance, blunted creativity. A dulled Intensity of interest in the world around the victim. Tension/ anxiety/ depression cycle sets in; the victim may self medicate with alcohol or drugs. Fear motivates life's decisions. The victim becomes hyper reactive, hyper vigilant, and obsessive.

Physical changes take place as stressors pound away at those victims who try to stand up for themselves or their loved ones. Physical symptoms manifest in 85% of the victims. 'There is significant evidence that fat in the diet, cigarette smoking, salt and lack of exercise have less to do with coronary heart disease and other stress-related illnesses than rage, anger, and frustration (McQuade, 1990). Outrage explodes. Beyond rage, then implosion. Lifes agenda turns inward into a survival cycle. Anger turns to rage; rage turns to outrage. If assaults through neglect or abuse continue, the victim becomes one of the walking wounded beyond rage.

What's wrong with me? My life and priorities seem irrelevant to the court. Are you ensnared in the judicial system? Fearful, incredulous, isolated, beyond rage... feeling "alienated? This support group will conjoin law, therapy, and research revealing a subtype of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder called Legal Abuse Syndrome. It helps victims overcome psychological devastation caused by prolonged injustice. When systems of care, i.e. the judicial system, cause or exacerbate medical conditions due to extreme stress, the dilemma presents a public health problem as well as a multidisciplinary legal/medical professional challenge.

"There is nothing wrong with you" You have a natural reaction to a CRIME. You need a game changer that bolsters your resilience and confidence. Eight self-help steps guide you through the toughest times of your litigation illustrated by gripping cases of human courage and principle against the massive power of the judicial system. "Criminals are defined by their behavior, nothing else. Explicitly, these are behaviors freely chosen which victimize other people, depriving them of basic rights. Crime is not caused by anything identifiable; it is a life-style of persistently neglecting the rights of other individuals."

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Chapter 2 - "The Epidemic:" illustrates chemical changes that take place in the brain during prolonged victimization. It becomes clear that the profound sense of helplessness in the face of jeopardy causes post traumatic stress disorder. Extended feelings of helplessness produce more pronounced symptoms of LAS.

It Doesnt Matter: It doesnt matter that Im a taxpayer. It doesnt matter that Im an American citizen. It doesnt matter that Im a law abiding person. It doesnt matter that I was ripped-off, violated, and betrayed. It doesnt matter that I was right. It doesnt matter that I dont hurt other people. It doesnt matter that I have the evidence. It doesnt matter that the other person broke the law. It doesnt matter that he or she is clearly guilty. It doesnt matter that he or she is clearly wrong by all moral standards. It doesnt matter that a Constitution exists. It doesnt matter that Im living like a fugitive in my own country. It doesnt matter that Im a loyal employee. It doesnt matter that Im a veteran who offered his life for his country. It doesnt matter that I paid more in attorney and legal fees than I earned this year. It doesnt matter that I told the truth.

This kindling ignites the fury burning beyond rage. LAS victims, bound in cellophane, speak from a fractured consciousness. Helplessness and hopelessness replace outrage driving the victim to extremes. The majority of people, who make positive contributions to their communities and abide by the law, assume their decent behavior buys them credibility as a good citizen, but this may no longer be the case in our present judicial system.

Victims may be slandered and vilified as bums, thieves, etc. These libelous characterizations send victims emotionally reeling. These are the macroscopic germs of a national mental health pandemic. Dennis Charny at Yale University reports that uncontrollable stress causes post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with prolonged times of intensity, result in the higher likelihood of LAS damage. We know that PTSD doesnt occur in all victims and is more likely to occur if the victim hasnt had the opportunity to work through the crises.

Catastrophic stress alters three key brain circuits: Our friend H A L The H ypothalamus and pituitary gland regulate stress-response hormones. Activation causes an increase in corticotropin-releasing- factor (CRF). When CRF is released, it mobilizes the body to meet emergencies. The victims body stays on alert, and trusts nothing or no one. There may be sleep disturbances or changes in sleep posture. Obsessions about security, money, privacy, and contracts are common. A mygdala is the integrative center for emotions, emotional behavior, and motivation. The amygdala is involved in pleasureful emotional learning as well as fearful emotional learning. Stimulation of the amygdala may cause intense emotion, such as aggression or fear. The L ocus ceruleus regulates brain hormones called catecholamines that help us prepare for emergencies. When the locus ceruleus becomes hyperreactive, it secretes too much brain chemical, and over reacts to small stimuli, which in reality is nonthreatening. Victims startle when they encounter such things as a: doorbell ringing, phone ringing, sudden noise or movement coming into their awareness.

Chapter 3 - "Debriefing:" begins the second part of the book, the eight steps to recovery. Debriefing is an activity that the reader can do. It centers around a graphic, processing sheet that delineates losses, feelings and facts. This chapter begins a caring journey. The sense of isolation is relieved in victims as they see their experience(s) begin to take a manageable form. This chapter also lists "absolutely what not to say to a victim."

Chapter 4 - "Grieving:" clarifies that loss of trust is the greatest loss known to a human being. Grieving masques as depression (the common cold of mental illness), exhaustion, varied illnesses and conditions. Grieving over loss of property is usually discounted in American culture. "Takings" have become a part of business strategy and are often done through the malfeasant use of the LAS system. Bankruptcy court, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the IRS effect takings of property without due process. Takings threaten the lifeblood of the nation. In this chapter we see the loss of belief systems, trust, and ideals are critical to the loss picture. Each case shows our protective systems failed, and inadvertently or by design, intensified the trauma. Legal Abuse Syndrome, a journey Beyond Rage... and Back, articulates that the right to redress in order to prevent losses and to exact recompense is key to a sense of safety and security necessary for mental health.

Soul Murder: Soul Murder, describes the pain and suffering preventing the victims from fulfilling their hopes and dreams, all that they could have been in life. The pain one must endure from violated trust, may leave victims unable to trust in Gods ever presence Love in times of trouble, that He exists or, at least, that a loving God exists. Spiritual strength is of paramount importance during the grieving process. Loss challenges us into our need for a greater perception and purpose of life. The walking wounded who suffer LAS are deprived of an easy reliance on the spiritual because the pain has reached so deeply into the core of their existence.

YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND (Mat 22:37).

The most outrageous example of Legal Abuse at a national stage, signaling a grave illness in our governments Soul, i.e. our Judicial System, is the recent decision on same-sex marriage: decision on same-sex marriage Chief Justice Roberts: Under the Constitution, judges have power to say what the law is, not what it should be. The people who ratified the Constitution authorized courts to exercise neither force nor will but merely judgment....for those who believe in a government of laws, not of men, the majoritys approach is an act of will, not legal judgment. The right it announces has no basis in the Constitution or this Courts precedent.

Justice Scalia: Todays decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to- coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme CourtThis practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves. Possible solutions: Exposing Judges Unaccountability and Consequent Riskless Wrongdoing. By Dr. Richard Cordero, Esq.Exposing Judges Unaccountability and Consequent Riskless Wrongdoing.

Chapter 5 - "Obsession:" leads us toward a sense of control over our lives again. Readers become aware of obsessions as a natural response to victimization. Randomizations are difficult concepts to grasp in life. When good people are assaulted and left unaffirmed by their culture's systems, life proceeds on a path with no moral compass - no guide to safety. A list of obsessive styles is characterized by descriptive names, i.e. "Lifeguard," obsesses around health; where as an "Inventorier" counts and accounts for all belongings, endlessly. Ease the obsessions through the listed case examples.

Chapter 6 - "Blaming:" faces victim-blaming head on. Society discourages blaming; therefore, victims are praised for taking responsibility for the legal violence happening to them. Further, victims often see little recourse, then resign to hopelessness, once blame is established. Attribution is a necessary step toward justice by reinforcing the moral code. The self-blame checklist exposes the danger of self blame. Barriers to blaming are explored, such as guilt and societal pressure.

Chapter 6 - "Blaming:" Revenge and punishment are contrasted with appropriate, quality blaming actions which drive behavior toward the moral code. Those ignored, outrageous assaults by attorneys and the systems, such as slander and character assassination in the courtroom and denied right to redress, are listed at the end of the chapter. Victims begin to feel that they are not crazy or at fault.

Chapter 7 - "Deshaming:" offers a radically unique approach to understanding human motivation in terms of power. A continuum is presented which ranks a person's motivating force as either conscience-based or power-based. Human interactions are visualized on a grid. Conscience-based persons are often victimized even though they have spiritual power. Power-based people are motivated by envy and an obsession for superior posture. Lying is a key tool of the power motivated person. Lying wins over truth. Here is where violation of the moral code is "business as usual" for some and an outrage to others.

Chapter 7 - "Deshaming:" Shame is known to the conscience-based person, who often absorbs shame from the violator as well. Specific skills are taught regarding cooperation, competition, and self-protection. Thus, freeing them from shame, the readers relinquish undeserved shame and follow guiding principles for strengthening their belief systems.

Chapter 8 - "Reframing:" is the pivotal procedure that embarks upon recovery. All five reframing steps are required to effectively achieve this phase. The victim shifts from painful perceptions of self to new, open, morally sound and personally inspired views of themselves. There are LAS Reframe Exercises which allows painful issues to come forth. Victims reframe the pain through the reframe steps. The victim might say, "I was a fool." Reframed, the victim will say, "I was a trustworthy person, I believed that others were largely trust worthy too." Then the victim searches for the wisdom gained from the experience.

Chapter 9 - "Empowerment:" more than anything, brings fresh approaches for legal and bureaucratic problem solving to ordinary persons. Steps are blueprints: 1) seek and destroy misinformation, 2) from pragmatic expectations, 3) avoid the predictable, 4) persevere, 5) use mental toughness, 6) become a vigilant consumer, 7) call a crime a crime. Misinformation is a strategic, destructive tool used by abusers of the justice systems. It attempts to crush the force of truth distorting the course towards justice. Oppression thrives on misinformation. Empowerment requires effective attacks on misinformation through official channels.

Chapter 9 - "Empowerment:" The predictable path is owned by the power-centered. They travel ahead, preparing to take out the conscience-centered person at every turn. Victims strengthen each other through sharing their creative approaches for defense as well as attacking injustices. Rules and regulations of institutions are broken by those who abuse from within the organization. Finding those violations empowers a victim tremendously.

Chapter 9 - "Empowerment: Mental toughness provides abilities to keep focus regardless of attacks or diversions. Vigilant consumers focus on the real bottom line in America, the consumer. When crimes occur, they must be treated as crimes and prosecuted by consumers who keep focus on the authentic bottom line. National efforts are under way for victims of LAS to organize and unite. Join a LAS support group, and go from victimization to EMPOWERMENT: See: Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Lawsuit Guide.Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Lawsuit Guide See also: Parental Rights Class Action Lawsuit.Parental Rights Class Action Lawsuit

Trust is the pacemaker variable in group growth. From it stem all the other significant variables of health. That is to the extent that trust develops, people are able to communicate genuine feelings and perceptions of relevant issues to all members of the system. - Lorraine M. Gibb.

Chapter 10 - "Recovery:" brings perspective. Victims become veterans who have important functions in correcting societal wrongs. We discover our recovery is not a destination but a journey through the eight steps incorporated into our renewed lifestyle. Forgiveness and restoration discussions separate issues in recovery. Veterans are no longer cellophane-wrapped hostages but restored to our purpose in life, risking once more. Trust as a staple, societal issue, explored in the context of LAS provides the environment to rebuild for preventable assaults to the mental health of our nation.

Conclusion: an invisible fabric woven into American character is found in us ordinary persons. LAS victims who refuse soul-murder, lead the nation into a future of hope, trust, restoring the code of American conduct and character that they represent. The conscience-centered people who embody the majority of the American people are Heroes that restore the soul of the this nation, the Judicial System. restore the soul of the this nation, the Judicial System.

A society that does not protect its weakest members, its children, its elderly, and its disabled, is a society that is destined for extinction. As long as we have breath in our lungs, the American people and those of goodwill around the world will not stop fighting for these. -Mario Jimenez Jerez, M.D., B.S.E.E., www.VoteMario.Uswww.VoteMario.Us

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it always. -Mahatma Gandhi.

We will not bow down to the evil that has held hostages our children, our elderly, and our families but will fight it and destroy it, not only for them but for the many others who are suffering like us in the U.S.A. and around the world. Watch and see the victory the Lord will give us for his Glory in Christ Jesus. -Mario Jimenez Jerez, M.D., B.S.E.E., www.VoteMario.Uswww.VoteMario.Us
