Violation of Constitutional and Human Rights
United Nations proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights yet
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and University of Washington
deprive faculty and students of their right to freedom of expression and justice.
United Nations proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by a General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) (10 Dec 48). It called upon all member countries to publicize the text of the declaration and to effect its dissemination and elaboration, primarily in educational institutions, without prejudice or political considerations.

University officials at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy, NY; University of Washington (UW), Seattle WA; and, directors of Council House (a federally subsidized institution), Seattle, WA; have singularly and collaboratively deprived the author of his inalienable right to freedom of expression and justice. They have shown a total disregard for constitutional law and human rights. They must now comply with laws until Congress and UN General Assembly accommodate them by changing international law.
[Amend. to US Constitution] [UN Dec. of Human Rights]
Shirley Ann Jackson, President, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Mark A. Emmert, President, University of Washington; and, Victor J. DeLeon, President, Council House, who hold ultimate responsibility for multiple violation of human rights, continue to allow their employees to violate human rights laws. They persist in ignoring a Washington Supreme Court decision
Constitutional and human rights violations abound in these institutions. The uncomplicated experience of a impoverished Council House tenant exemplifies them. The tenant posted on a bulletin board a statement made by Eleanor Roosevelt before the United Nations at the time of the declaration. Stephen A. Mitchell, a Council House director, ordered its removal and threatened her with eviction. If one comprehends his supremacist leanings, then one understands why he censored it. [Ravening Sociopath]

Eleanor Roosevelt claimed that:
"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home – so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person: the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world."
Unlawful censorship of this statement formed part of the testimony in the Washington Supreme Court which influenced the decision to restore freedom of speech and other constitutional rights, guaranteed by Congress and protected by the UN Declaration of Human Rights, to the author. Despite that finding
Concocting evidence for unlawful eviction, preventing career advancement, and denying equal employment opportunity without due process of law all classify as contravention of US Constitution and UN Declaration of Human Rights. These institutions have arbitrarily denied civil and human rights.

National Union of Journalists (NUJ) convened a meeting at House of Commons, London (25 Jan 07) to discuss silent withholding of documents that relate to
Doerty also filed false and misleading documents with US immigration to try to find grounds for deportation. A Member of Parliament, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for International Development, exclaimed that he found the incidents so preposterous that he would have had difficulty believing the claims if senior NUJ executives had not attended to verify the Kafkaesque behavior. [The Trial]
Principals of these institutions, also other government agencies, cannot comprehend that they receive their salaries to protect and serve the public. Willfully blind, they indulge in self-aggrandizing activities for ever more bloated salaries obtained by having their snouts in a common trough of deceit and lawlessness. Neither ethics nor morals exist.
Participation in any action always implies consent. No individual can accept actions by officials without clearly defined accountability. Circumstances nearly always improve if enough people refuse to comply to unlawful dictates. The real moral imperative does not relate to enemies but to friends and neighbors who refuse to dissent from fear or intimidation.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Adopted and proclaimed by UN General Assembly Resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948.
Preamble
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,
Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,
Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,
Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.
