Ralph Jumps for Joy and Tells Paula Gloria About Lynne Stewart's Sudden Release. Edit
January 1, 2014, New Years Day, was a super happy day for Ralph Poynter when he went to visit his wife Lynne Stewart in prison in Texas and discovered she had already been released! Lynne has served 4 years for her fearless defense of USA's hidden criminal government element's worst problem: holy people who threaten their war chest. In Lynne's case these "merchants of death" used their power over the media to portray Lynne's blind imam, a holy man, as Public Enemy Numero Uno - the Blind Sheik. Today Lynne is now facing a danger greater than the corruption of these US government's hidden and criminal but powerful agencies. Lynne now has to overcome breast cancer that received very poor care in prison. Lynne is known, the world over, as a sincere lawyer serving the most disadvantaged after a career as a public school teacher in Harlem, one of New York City's poorest neighborhoods at the time. By January 4th in this interview Ralph is still buzzing with the emotion as he with Betty Davis reveal the depth of Lynne's work and the importance of understanding the plight of our overcrowded prisons and political prisoners. These most unfortunate prisoners have harmed no one and their usual real "cause of action" against them is not enforcement for the well-being and peace of the community, but instead it is their poverty and ignorance (of their Rights) that makes them easy targets to be plundered, preyed upon, denied due process and equal protection and are pushed further into hopeless despair at ever having the possibility to find peace and security away from the demands of a system that would put them in prison but let bankers who did knowingly, intentionally and willing participate in fraud, go free, setting a further example to the world that in the USA crime pays. This is not the USA that the rest of the world has known and loved, the message of love that our artists and real, not paid off, scientists have carried and which is the full faith and credit of a people that has backed our currency since the 1933 bankruptcy. A free society can never tolerate commission-based enforcement and judges who get under the table (but nevertheless easily discoverable kick-backs) off the private prison system. We must all, as Ralph Poynter says, be zealous in our struggle for freedom for ourselves through service to others, and that we must allow ourselves to full comprehend and enjoy the immensity of the moment as we are inspired by the courage of people like Lynne and Ralph and the many, many political prisoners in the USA that are voiceless.
