Hello,
I hope that you will browse through these series of pastes of e-mails and
note how important a story they tell about the sociology of law and
applied ethics with respect to abuses of power by the very powerful and
subsequent cover-ups that in many ways were even worse than the initial
set of misdeeds. These misdeeds include using psychology to destroy and
not to heal. This struggle has been about practical information to empower
the underdogs of the legal system--defendants, lawyers' clients, and
survivors of crimes so that they cannot be so easily pushed around by
those with superior training and confidence in manipulating the system.
You can probably see that I am telling the truth from whom I am writing
and the fact that I am still writing the same story with little variations
except to reflect current developments since 1991.
I have been running this story by people in Hollywood or connected to
Hollywood since 1991 as I believe it is the type of story that can affect
dramatic changes if told in the correct fashion. I have noticed many
co-incidences in entertainment showing that possibly all these hundreds of
thousands of messages attempting to level the playing field for the
underdogs of the legal system have paid off. These are references to 224,
225, 612, 613, Mary Jane Weaver, survivors' rights and Tampa Bay, etc in
many different films and tv shows dating from 1995 too numerous to all
just be coincidences. (Added later for the benefit of further readers) I
have been telling this story to Hollywood bigwigs or those with good
connections since 1991 trying to break the blacklist promised to be on me
on July 20, 1992 and August 5, 1993 by a former supervisor from the U of
MN Law Library Lyonette Louis-Jacques for my challenging the Law Librarian
of Congress and crew's attacking my mental health to destroy the image of
my credibility. I challenged them in the first place in 1991 for attitudes
at the U of MN Law School and Library towards survivors of crimes as well
as the quality and quantity of materials of a practical nature for these
underdogs. I made these criticisms in writing and very calmly. I shared
the documents which prompted the U of MN and the Law Librarian of
Congress, their just previous law library Director, to attack my mental
health over seven months in 1991 with about 500 other people. Only 3 out
of the 500 had the same response of the U of MN of putting my mental
health in question.
I have not been able to break the blacklist despite applying to over 600
positions in a cautious manner from July 1991 through now. I would be
homeless if not for the safety net of immediate family because of the
actions of the clique of law librarians and law professors associated with
M. Kathleen Price, the Law Librarian of Congress from about 1990 through
1995-1996.
These actions on the part of the Court of Price sent out the loudest of
messages that advocacy for survivors' rights in the area of information
policy was unwelcome which contributed to many of the problems plaguing
society such as the crisis in the Catholic Church with abuse by priests.
This impact was because of the identity of the players involved in this
drama. Me, a prominent insider in 1991 because of the fact that I was the
sole cataloger of every computer file on WESTLAW from late 1988 through
mid-1991 for what was supposed to be a historical and national project and
the Royal Court of Price.

Hello,
I thought that you might be interested in this. The AOL GovernmentGuide
Mail System allows me to get to about 50 recipients like media contacts
per hour. What I am trying to destroy are two things: 1) the credibility
of the people who placed a blacklist on me for fighting for survivors'
rights, defendants rights, and the rights of lawyers' clients by trying to
level the playing field for these three groups in the legal system from
June 28, 1991 through now and 2) the practice of these same people of
attacking critical thinkers' who express this criticism in rational terms
on terms of their mental health rather than on their ideas--ad hominem
attacks of the worst sort. Because of the accompanying blacklist and other
prodding as in my story, they can place enough stress on anyone that no
matter how strong will start developing mental health problems even though
there were none to begin with originally. The people I have been up
against are the Law Librarian of Congress, M. Kathleen Price and her crew.
This same approach to destroying dissenters shows up at the Library of
Congress according to a July 6, 1996, CBS News Broadcast. They reported
that this was policy and the administration liked it because it was so
"effective."

Hello,
I have shared this story with prior Deans--Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Stein.
Ex-Dean Stein has been especially encouraging about my efforts in the area
of leveling the playing field for survivors of crime, defendants, and
lawyers' clients. This has been while Mr. Stein was Executive Director of
the ABA. I have shared some of the supportive letters I have received
from experts in the area of defendants, survivors, and lawyers' clients'
rights with these previous Deans. I also posted many of these documents on
Findlaw's message boards from April 2002 through late August 2002. These
documents are no longer accessible via Findlaw's message boards. Many
people saw these documents however even if I picked up several constant
hecklers while I was posting who distracted many from the message I was
trying to get across about survivors' defendants and lawyers' clients
needs for practical information.
Mills Lane of Reno, Nevada had also suggested I send these documents or
most of them (322 copies) to his friend the Dean of the UNLV Law School,
Richard Morgan, which I did around May 4, 2001.
Sincerely,
Jon K. Hoppensteadt

Hello,
I am trying to make sure that the U of MN Law administration knows the
content of the e-mails I have sent to about 2500 media contacts throughout
the world about my struggles for equality for survivors of crimes,
defendants, and lawyers' clients with respect to access to the best
possible practical information. I have received hundreds of supportive
communications for my efforts to even the playing field by getting the
best access to practical since February 1991. Many of these are from the
most qualified of experts in the areas I have been working on like the US
Department of Justice, etc. While at the same time however I have faced
the worst kind of employment discrimination--that meant to cover up
egregious mistakes as well as attacks of my mental health to destroy my
credibility. These wrongs date from February 1991 and have continued
unabated for the most part.

the past two weeks about my struggles with leveling the playing field for
survivors of crimes, defendants, and lawyers' clients to get them the best

since February 1991 and despite my extremely good credentials like 4
degrees and ten years of work experience either in public service or
library or library related and another as of now 12 years of effective
advocacy at my expense, I have not been able to break a promised blackball
on me put on me by the Law Librarian of Congress, M. Kathleen Price from
1990 through 1995-1996 and her crew. This despite applying to 600 jobs of
all types at all levels in every type of library. Lyonette Louis-Jacques
promised a blackball on me on July 20, 1992 and then again on August 5,
1993 even though to almost any objective observer it was I who did the
right thing at the right time for the right reason and not M. Kathleen
Price nor Lyonette Louis-Jacques.

Hello,
I know it did not appear in your publication. I am trying to get this set
of facts known to American citizens as it involves fundamental civil
rights. I thought letters to the editor and such could be about matters of
international importance? I have been nominated for work I have been doing
at my own expense for about 95 various recognitions but my work and I
remain obscure because very important people want to cover up the extent
of the problems I have been trying to solve. For the past 12 years, I have
been trying to increase the power of survivors of crimes, defendants, and
lawyers' clients in the legal profession by getting them access to the
best possible information so that lawyers and judges cannot more easily
manipulate people in these three groups. Do you not think it a bit odd
that no one has ever heard of me except the people I have been doing
battle with even though I have been nominated for Marquis Who's Who in
America, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 as well as Marquis Who's Who
in the World, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, and 2003? As a
cost for my war for survivors of crimes, defendants, and lawyers' clients,
I have not worked a day in any library in any professional capacity
anywhere since June 28, 1991. I was promised at least a decade long
international blackball by a prior law library public services supervisor,
Lyonette Louis Jacques from the U of MN and the U of Chicago Law Libraries
on July 20, 1992 and then again on August 5, 1993, for challenging her
and others authority and actions, such as attacking my mental health to
destroy my credibility. The most powerful people in the teaching of law
librarianship exiled me from librarianship for fighting for survivors'
rights. Given events like 9/11 and the problems of the Catholic Church, I
would expect that some people would have the intelligence to look at the
bigger picture? These set of events are all connected because it has been
legal educators who have been the major players in my story. Legal
educators banned me for what looks like life for fighting for the
underdogs in the legal system. They also portrayed me as mentally ill when
I was not and then in 2000 here in Pinellas County 30 people set me up
with false skits to make me sound just like a paranoid schizophrenic when
I related to others what bogus experiences these 30 people fed me. The
trouble was that these people calculated perfectly what do perform as no
one here had the sophistication to believe me when I said I was set up
until September 18, 2002, when I talked in person to Detective Crandell in
Criminal Intelligence at the Pinellas County Sheriff''s Office (727)
582-6200. He believed my story but told me it is not criminal to mess with
people like that. I could never show their intent to push me into looking
mad and acting mad. These 30 people pushed me into a nervous breakdown
and it took me years to persuade anyone to look at my claims of being set
up with any critical thought-they just assumed I was a fruitcake. They
assumed that because the press has refused to make my war for survivors of
crimes, defendants, and lawyers' clients known to anyone. They also
assumed this out of intellectual laziness--the jumped to the conclusions
which were the least disturbing to their world view which was that I was
mentally ill rather than that the elite of legal education banned a
humanist advocate for doing the right thing at the right time for the
right reason and attacked his, mine, mental health while doing such
hateful and in my opinion criminal acts. There acts seriously undermined
survivors rights, defendants' rights, and the rights of lawyers' clients
by stealing the career of a prominent insider in 1991, me. I was an
insider because I did alone the work of cataloging every computer file on
WESTLAW from late 1988 through about May 1991 for a national project of
the Research Libraries Group, West Publishing, and the U of MN Law
Library. Banning me sent out the loudest of messages that survivors'
rights, defendant's rights and the rights of lawyers' clients were not
respected especially because I was fighting for self-determination by
people in these three groups by arming them with knowledge. My
qualifications for this work were 4 degrees, ten years of work experience
with dealing with the public or with information access, and talking with
about 150 defendants and survivors of crimes about their informational
needs. I talked and sought out survivors of crimes, had a prison pen pal
for a year, and represented prisoners who had committed a wide assortment
of crimes from September 1987 through May 1989 with Legal Assistance to MN
Prisoners.
The blacklist on me included NM, NV, AZ, TX, CA, CO, etc. I applied for
jobs in every state in various types of libraries. I have also applied for
positions outside the US. I could never break the blacklist which was
placed on a humanist advocate for better information and education.
Something is extremely wrong with a system that allows such evil to
flourish, while some who does such good starves or would starve but for
the graciousness of immediate family. I have not been able to find any
other kind of work because people assume I am damaged goods when they see
I have not worked in x number of years. They make quick assumptions and
never ask even the most obvious of questions when I present them with the
facts--they stick their heads in the sand in other words.
