A. Going to court to seek protection and coming out abused
1. Everybody is affected by Covid-19 in our country. Tens of millions will have legal problems. Many will end up going to court or being taken to court. They may seek the protection of laws dealing with bankruptcy, landlord-tenant and employer-employee relations, business losses and claims, breach of contract, medical bills, etc.
2. The vast majority of them will fall victim to unaccountable judges, who for their gain and convenience abuse their enormous power over people’s property, liberty, and all the rights and duties that frame their lives and shape their identities.
3. Key forms of judges’ abuse of power are described in the following article(next article infra §G). It is based on my study of judges and their judiciaries, titled and downloadable for free thus:
Exposing Judges’ Unaccountability and
Consequent Riskless Wrongdoing:

judicial unaccountability reporting* †

b. Open the downloaded files using Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available for free at https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/acrobat/pdf-reader.html.
c. In each downloaded file, go to the Menu bar >View >Navigation Panels >Bookmarks panel and use its bookmarks, which make navigating to the contents’ numerous(* †>blue footnote-like references) very easy.
B. The inform and outrage strategy for advancing your interests
4. The preceding article aims to advance the interests of those who due to Covid or other circumstances will end up in court; and of print, digital, radio, and TV publishers of news, i.e., the media, who can increase their audiences by warning people about unaccountable judges’ riskless abuse of power and those whom they protect: their cronies.
5. The article describes how that aim is being pursued by a CORE GROUP of Advocates of Honest Judiciaries implementing a strategy:
a. inform the national public about unaccountable judges’ riskless abuse of power; and
b. so outrage the public that
c. the public demands of all presidential and other 2020 candidates to take a position in every interview and other public communication on the issue of judges’ abuse.
6. This inform and outrage strategy will activate the only force capable of holding judges accountable for their performance and liable to compensation: the force of We the People, particularly strong when they are about to vote at the nominating conventions and on Election Day, thereby asserting their status as the masters who own all political power and ‘giveth to, and taketh from, its servants’.
7. An informed and outraged People interested in news about judges’ abuse of power will prompt ever more media outlets to further investigate the key forms of judges’ abuse(next article infra §G). By the People and the media reciprocally reinforcing themselves as the source of stories that grow audiences, a generalized media investigation into judges’ abuse can develop that through its findings dominates the 2020 elections campaign, thus “Pioneering the news and publishing field”.
C. Congressional hearings and unprecedented citizen hearings
8. We want politicians to have Congress hold nationally televised public hearings on the judicial abuse that people have suffered or witnessed.
9. Candidates and other politicians will have to be pressed into doing so, lest people do not support their campaigns or disapprove of their performance in office. To generate that pressure, we are proposing unprecedented citizen hearings. They will be held at university and media outlets, conducted by professors, journalists, and other experts, and broadcast nationally through multimedia.
10. These citizen hearings will be the opportunity for you and so many other victims of, and witnesses to, judges’ abuse to tell your stories to the whole nation. Your stories will outrage the national public at the nature, extent, and gravity of judges’ abuse. Hence, those hearings will generate significantly more outrage than your telling your stories to me and a few more victims.
D. How you can join in informing and outraging the national public
11. To turn the issue of judges’ abuse of power into a decisive electoral one, a core group of Advocates of Honest Judiciaries endeavors to make the article go viral on the Internet and through the national media. The article can reasonably be expected to go viral because it highlights how the readers can protect and advance their own interests, not ours:
a. people can protect themselves from abusive judges; and victims can join forces to demand compensation from judges and their judiciaries; and
b. the media can rehabilitate their public image and increase their audiences by warning the public about judges’ abuse, and holding citizen hearings thereon.
12. Those are two potent motives for victims, people, and the media to make the article go viral.
E. The victims and the media have interests that they can advance as allies
13. A victim of judges’ abuse can advance his or her interest, not by sharing their stories of abuse with a handful of other victims, but rather by sharing it with the national public so that an informed and outraged public forces transformative change. This is change so substantial that the thing changed emerges as a different entity.
14. Instead of judges being treated as extensions of the kings who historically appointed them and ‘can do no wrong’, they are only judicial public servants subject to We the People, the masters of all public servants.
15. The People are the principals entitled to hold their agents accountable for their exercise of power delegated for the People’s, not the judges’, benefit.
16. Achieving transformative change requires an alliance between the victims and the media. The latter have the means of informing the People of stories of abuse that can outrage them at judges’ abuse and stir them up to demand that judges be held accountable and liable, as are doctors and their hospitals, lawyers and their law firms, priests and their churches, and everybody else.
17. The media and the People can denounce judges’ abuse and failure to comply with their own Code of Conduct mandate “to avoid even the appearance of impropriety”. The media can make judges the target of a generalized media investigation that daily exposes more of the nature, extent, and gravity of their abuse. That will make the People’s outrage grow so intense that their delegation of public power to judges is deemed withdrawn and judges are forced to resign(†>OL2:1094¶7).
F. Sharing, posting, and publishing the article so that it goes viral
18. That is our strategy: advance the media’s interests so that they advance the victims’ in obtaining compensation for the abuse that judges have caused us and all the other millions of their victims.
19. We want the proposal to go viral so that ever more journalists realize that exposing judges’ abuse of power can earn them what they want the most: a Pulitzer prize, such as those announced in May. A Pulitzer in journalism is the equivalent of an Oscar in the movie industry: the recognition by one’s peers that one was the best in one’s category the previous year. It can bring a journalist his or her editor’s approval for their proposed stories and offers of more lucrative and prestigious jobs.
20. Hence, I respectfully invite you to join the endeavor of the core group of Advocates: Forward this article together with its supporting one below(†>OL2:1093) to your friends, colleagues, and family; and post it to social media as widely as possible. Encourage everyone to read it and do likewise.
21. In that vein, you can send three emails, one to each of the following blocs of email addressees. The latter have the means of forwarding it to many other people and publishing it as an article that sets forth the issue of judges’ abuse and contains many leads for further investigation.
22. Copy one bloc at a time, paste it in the To: line of the email, and send it. Do so daily for at least a week to try to overcome judges’ interception of people’s emails and mail to detect and suppress those of their critics, which is one of the most outrageous forms of their abuse of power(†>OL2:1098§4):

23. People who take action on a meaningful cause are the ones who make transformative change in their own interest and that of the rest of the world.
G. Every meaningful cause needs resources for its advancement; none can be continued, let alone advanced, without money
