Honoring the Fallen

Not just those in uniform...

On Memorial Day weekend, we honor the Fallen that sacrificed their lives for our nation.

This day, I celebrate targeted individual who courageously fought against the highly illegal torture perpetrated upon him by our own government, paid for with your taxpayer money.    

For a few months, I communicated with Adam Garcia over FB messenger. He would constantly ask me about the status of the Targeted Justice lawsuit and frustrated with the lack of media coverage thereof.

On July 11th, 2023, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Rosenthal, L), dismissed the TJ lawsuit as ‘fantastical’.

The next day, Adam was hospitalized for 17 days.

I tried my best to encourage him to stay strong, explaining that even though the district court had dismissed our complaint, I had high hopes for our appeal.

I later tried to contact him again to no avail.

Adam was an artist. He was not waiting for others to do something to end his targeting. Using social media, he was desperately trying to raise awareness about our government’s torture program. He was knowledgeable about it, and relentless on his crusade.

When reality surpasses imagination.

Targeted Individuals know that no one can make up what Adam so accurately described in his posts. Targeted individuals undergo heinous torture that is impossible for anyone to imagine. Perhaps that is why those vested with the responsibility of protecting their constitutional rights through the administration of justice dismiss their claims as ‘fantastical’

Yesterday morning I learned Adam had passed away in March.

When I found out about Adam’s passing, my immediate reaction was a deep sorrow combined with frustration about how slow the wheels of justice turn for those that need it most.

Then a silent anger began to emerge within me. The anger that continues to fuel my desire to to shut down the evil ‘Program’ and its weapons of mass destruction aimed at innocent Americans like Adam.

Government criminals did not just steal a talented, healthy, caring young man’s life. They made his 10-year-old daughter an orphan.

The family set up a fundraiser.

Since September 17, 2022 , the date I arrived in Houston to prepare for the legal battle of a lifetime, I have led a life dedicated to shutting down the ‘Program’.

I am the only attorney that showed up to file Targeted Justice v. Garland, a lawsuit that seeks to eliminate the Terrorist Screening Database’s illegal handling codes 3 and 4 where targeted individuals are listed.

I take my oath very seriously. I have never signed a document I did not believe to be based on fact and law, let alone false or implausible theories. That would be unethical conduct that would subject me to severe sanctioning.

I will always wonder if Adam would be alive if the district court’s decision had objectively assessed the entire pleadings of the complaint, reading them in the light most favorable to plaintiffs, and abstained from pejoratively dismissing its claims as ‘bizarre’.

On May 8th, 2024, United States Army retired Lieutenant Colonel, Mr. Greg Edgreen, testified before the Committee on Homeland Security that Directed Energy Weapons “do not leave an entry or exit wound” and make the victim think “as though they are going crazy”.

The time has come for the members of the judiciary to step out of their comfort zone and narrow the gap between the privileged class and the illegally tortured, disenfranchised targeted individuals.

I am currently working on a certiorari to be filed in the Supreme Court seeking reversal of the Fifth Circuit’s confirmation of Judge Rosenthal’s dismissal.

I personally vow that Adam’s passing will not be in vain. With every motion I write, every argument I make, and every struggle I engage in, whether before the courts or before the public, I am committed to holding Adam and every victim of this heinous program as my unflinching inspiration in the struggle to shut it down.

A life loss is one too many.
