Carol's Business Contacts in the USA
New York - Carol's private business, Thunderbolt
Enterprises, has a business account with Standard
Chartered bank in Abidjan, their US headquarters
is in NY. The Standard Charter US bank website
states “The bank’s primary function is to
facilitate trade and investment flows between the
Americas and the Group’s core geographies of
Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.”
Olympia, WA - This is where Carol Payne Flavell
owns properties including a fourplex property at
7924 3rd Ave, SE Olympia, WA 98503-1601 as well as
113 18th Avenue SE, Olympia, WA 98501 and has her
mail forwarded by a private mail box service on
Harrison Avenue in Northwest Olympia. Most
importantly, Ms. Flavell also has an Olympia,
Washington Tax planning service Firm, McSwain &
Company, PS on North Capital Way and a different
Law Office on Cooper Point Road SW. The Law
office on Cooper Point Road represents clients
worldwide in the areas of real estate and land
use, construction, trust, estate planning,
probate, tax law, bankruptcy, business law, and
personal injury. This is the infamous law firm
that helps her avoid paying thousands of dollars
in wages and benefits to her employees worldwide,
helps her to perform illegal evictions throughout
Olympia on her properties in Olympia, Washington,
helps her raise rent on Carol's tenants by over
$2,000.00 per month with one day's notice and one
day to pay as well as falsify and/or illegally
omit water damage and mold damage inspections on
her mold infested properties with water leakage at
113 18th Avenue SE, Olympia, WA. The law firm has
a list of 'Published Works' on their website and
the first on their list of published works and
publications is titled "APPROPRIATE TERMINATION
PRACTICES " which helps their clients "Avoid
liability for failure to pay wages and required
benefits." She has recently opened a bank account
in Olympia as well.
Port Townsend, Washington - This is the site of
the luxury ocean front hotel where she rents out
the penthouse and conference rooms for her
Thunderbolt Industries business meetings.
San Antonio, Texas - These are the bank accounts
that she uses to issue checks which she has been
known to frequently bounce and stop payment on
after she receives services.
For example, on Saturday, January 23rd, 2010, it
was discovered that Carol Flavell used bounced
checks in the Olympia, Washington area on over
eight thousand dollars in checks that came from
the San Antonia, Texas bank account. The checks
had the name "Carol Flavell and Andre Nkouaga"
printed on the checks. Carol Flavell and Andre
Nkouaga are known to target people in
not-for-profit groups, small stores and small
retail shops that do not have the legal support to
challenge her powerful legal team.
A few, not all, of the checks numbers are below:
#1472, the names printed on the Checks were Carol
Flavell and Andre Nkouaga
#1475, the names on the Checks were from Carol
Flavell and Andre Nkouaga.
#1478, the names on the Checks were from Carol
Flavell and Andre Nkouaga.

This publication is copyleft. Permission is
granted to copy and distribute this entire
publication or modified versions of this
publication. We greatly encourage you to print,
copy and distribute this publication in any method
that you can. The more people who sign the
petition, the more lives we can save!
Why is this Petition so important?
Carol Payne Flavell has helped to
direct and manage millions of dollars over her
lifetime from federal money. Remember, federal
dollars are your dollars. The Federal government
doesn't actually have any money. They simply take
ours and redistribute it among those people or
groups that they feel deserve it.
We as Americans have got to stand up and demand
that the Attorney General in each state as well as
the United States Attorney General Office and the
US Congress investigate both Carol not only in
regards to finances but also it needs to be
demanded that she reveal the names of the people
who are part of the 30 million dollar per year
AIDS/HIV medicine Black Market. Consider this
statement from Carol sent in an email on Tue, Dec
1, 2009:
“there is a major black market scam
being worked on the $30 million a year in HIV/AIDS drugs we
finance... I could easily name the in-house folks but my lips are
sealed.”
Thousands of people are dying each and every
single month in Africa and in countries around the
world that should be receiving those drugs as a
result of the Black Market profits being made off
of the HIV/AIDS drugs. Those drugs, financed by
American taxpayers, should be saving lives, not
making Black Market profiteers rich. Until that
investigation is complete and until Carol reveals
the names of the in-house people who are part of
the Black Market scam within the United States
Agency for International Development” (USAID),
it is proposed that any and all monies promised to
Carol Payne Flavell be suspended until those
investigations are complete. This probably won't
effect her as she has stated numerous times that
she has private bank accounts all over the world
including Paris, France, Olympia, Washington, San
Antonio, Texas and many more. The law firm that
she pays to direct many of her activities is
located in Olympia, Washington.
Current and former employees of
Carol Payne Flavell will tell you that she is an
individual who has private and public business
practices that are rife with corruption. Many of
her crimes she has admitted in emails and to date,
she has been charged criminally.
There is no transparency within Carol
Payne Flavell’s methods of receiving and
spending money. She has directed millions and
millions of tax dollars every year and every year
receives more criticism for the way that she does
it as innocent men, women and children face the
consequences.
Employees and family members of Carol
Payne Flavell across the nation and across the
world have been arrested for countless crimes
including her son and fellow business director
Micah Jones, who has been in and out of
drug/alcohol rehabilitations institutions and
continues to openly use an extremely large variety
of illegal drugs. Carol Payne Flavell’s
employees are told and made to feel that if they
do not do her illegal activities for her they will
be fired. Many of these employees will commit the
same crime numerous times, such as Micah Jones,
and then Carol will pay for her legal services to
get them out of trouble and then move them across
the country or across the world. Some of
Carol’s employees and affiliates have come
forward to say they were harassed by some of
Carol’s other employees to stay quiet. Most of
these people were never paid Social Security or
Worker’s compensation by Carol.
Many of her employees are not even
paid a living wage. She has been known to pay
some employees and domestic servants less than two
dollars per day. Some of these employees have
criminal records, addiction problems, or are just
the victims of circumstance.
There are some states that allow
people like Carol Payne Flavell to get away with
these crimes as long as no one is able to
successfully sue her due to her powerful legal
team in court. There seems to be nothing to stop
Carol from doing this again and again in several
different states and countries worldwide.
Additionally, there are states that have next to
no systems of cross referencing criminals like
Carol. So feasibly, Carol could have several
lawsuits against her across several countries.
So not only do we have millions upon
millions of tax payer dollars that have already
been directed by Carol, we have no idea how
she’s spent that money. We do not know where the
money went. We do not know who benefited from it.
We do not know what kind of administration fee she
pockets. We know nothing about the financial
aspects of Carol and the financial status of her
many private and public organization finances.
Not only is there no transparency, there are huge
brick walls built to keep that information from
us.
As taxpayers we do have the right to
know how our money is being spent. We have the
right to demand transparency. We have the right to
demand that Carol Payne Flavell, and all
government funded groups that fall under her
umbrella, open their books for audit.
Former members and employees of Carol
have been fighting for more than a decade to have
someone on Capitol Hill investigate the
allegations. Their pleas continuously fall on
deaf ears.
Samuel A. Weems, who was elected as one of the one
hundred delegates to rewrite the Arkansas
Constitution and once held the office of
prosecuting attorney published his widely
published article condemning Carol Payne
Flavell’s support of violent activities and
terrorists on October 20th and less than 4 months
he was found dead. Did someone get to him because
he was brave enough to speak out against Carol
Payne Flavell’s use of government funds to help
terrorists?
When you read this publication, please keep in
mind that many of the quotes are from Carol Payne
Flavell. They are her words describing her
activities.

Section 3.1
The Petition
To: U.S. Congress, the Attorney General in each
state as well as the United States Attorney
General Office
WE THE PEOPLE of the United States of America,
pursuant to the Bill of Rights, Amendment One,
which gives the right of the American people to
petition the United States government for a
redress of grievances, hereby state the following:
WHEREAS, Carol Payne Flavell’s name is found in
numerous Internet search results listed as the
“Deputy Director at United States Agency for
International Development, Washington, DC.”
Her name also appears with the President’s
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR,
created by George Bush in 2003 and her name
appears with the Hoops4Africa and HoopsForAfrica
program. She has been very active in a large
variety of recent activities involving moving
money across international borders as can be seen
by a large variety of her emails published on the
Internet.
WHEREAS, the United States Agency for
International Development” (USAID) website
states:
“In broad terms, USAID focuses on corruption as
the misuse of public office for private gain. It
encompasses abuses by government officials such as
embezzlement and nepotism, as well as abuses
linking public and private actors such as bribery,
extortion, influence peddling, and fraud.
Corruption arises in both political and
bureaucratic offices and can be petty or grand,
organized or unorganized. Though corruption often
facilitates criminal activities such as drug
trafficking, money laundering, and prostitution,
it is not restricted to these activities.”
WHEREAS, Carol Payne Flavell has written numerous
emails that have been widely published detailing
her activities in her own words that warrant a
full investigation into her financial holdings.
WHEREAS, Carol Payne Flavell is the mistress of
Andre Nkouaga, a currently married man and a
citizen of another country here on a permit which
strictly forbids him to work and earn money, who
shares many of Carol Payne Flavell‘s finances
and business transactions with him.
Section 3.2
Carol has stated that she is trying to hide
Andre’s funds from his current wife in email
statements such as “he has a lot…at third
locations in Berlin. Andre is still married. his
German wife, the one who works for Merkel [Dr.
Angela Dorothea Merkel is the current Chancellor
of Germany. She is the second woman to chair the
G8, after Margaret Thatcher], is apparently quite
an internet sleuth (I imagine she does
intelligence work and she is a diplomat). At any
rate I had all 4 of the sites blocked to her and
pretty restricted to other users. Somehow she got
my voodoomama appellation and… has reportedly
sent out private investigators, threatened a
"diplomatic incident." …that won't make a big
splash, but I've warned Andre repeatedly that the
money we have sitting in his account in Paris is
at tremendous risk if she wants to make an issue
of it. He doesn't seem to understand the
legalities of shared property, particularly if one
person has the funds to hire a good lawyer in her
home country (fortunately, they were married in
Paris many years ago). Her name is Veronika Marz
(or Marx)(or Mars), I've never seen it in writing
though she used to work at OECD/Paris* [OECD
stands for Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development] and I could probably dig it up
from there, she lives in Berlin now).
Section 3.3
Carol goes by the nick name of Voodoo
Mama because of her well documented ability to
have her critics fired, robbed, illegally evicted,
imprisoned, hospitalized, killed and simply
'vanish.'
She also is known as Voodoo Mama because of her
practice of the voodoo religion. "I learned
voodoo from a Haitian friend and it is real too,
it works and I use it from time to time but this
stuff is incredibly dangerous so I try to stay
away from it, the dark side is very close...
Since
Andre was exorcised, he is absolutely terrified of
going back to that place..." [Email sent by
Carol Payne Flavell on Aug 19, 2008]
* The OECD website states that it “is an
international organisation that helps governments
tackle the economic, social and governance
challenges of a globalised economy.”
Section 4.1
WHEREAS, Carol Payne Flavell, has made reference
to Charles Blé Goudé and referred to him as
(among other things) “he controls the oil. What
can I say? Except that I’m intrigued” and
referred to Charles Blé Goudé in emails as “a
friend in very high places.” [ Email sent by
Carol Payne Flavell on Thu, Nov 12, 2009]
Charles Blé Goudé (seated, center) with
supporters of the COJEP after their storming of
RTI studios in Abidjan.
WHEREAS, “Charles Blé Goudé is the founder and
current leader of Congrès Panafricain des Jeunes
et des Patriotes (COJEP). Set up in June 2001,
the group has attracted controversy and
international condemnation due to its alleged
involvement in extra-judicial killings and
demonstrations organised by the group which have
often turned violent. The organisation is strongly
nationalist and has even been accused of racism
and Islamophobia”
Section 4.2
WHEREAS, Charles Blé Goudé has been described as
one of three people placed on the list of “COTE
D IVOIRE: Profiles of three facing UN
sanctions.” The Global Security article states:
“The United Nations has placed individual
sanctions on political figures in Cote d’Ivoire.
[One of the] three who…face an international
travel ban and assets freeze… [are] as follows:
“CHARLES BLE GOUDE: The…UN Sanctions Committee
UN statement*, says he was listed for sanctions
for “public statements advocating violence
against United Nations installations and
personnel…direction of and participation in acts
of violence by street militias, including
beatings, rapes and extra-judicial killings…
[and an] obstacle…to the peace process.”
Charles Blé Goudé…has been nicknamed ‘The
General’ for his ability to bring thousands of
youngsters onto the streets within hours.”
WHEREAS, Charles Blé Goudé has stated, on Adolf
Hitler: “I’ve gotten to the point today where
I don’t believe anymore that Hitler was bad, or
that Milosevic is bad.” [Le Patriote, Newspaper
of the RDR), 12 May 2004]
Section 5.1
WHEREAS, Samuel A. Weems, who was elected as one
of the one hundred delegates to rewrite the
Arkansas Constitution and once held the office of
prosecuting attorney has written a widely
published article condemning Carol Payne
Flavell’s support of violent activities and
terrorists. Among his many statements to her
which he forwarded to numerous politicians and
published many places, he said “Ms. Flavell, by
your agency’s giving $15 million US tax
dollars… Your action is nothing more than the
total support for [a] regime that is guilty of
ethnic cleansing.”

INDIVIDUALS SUBJECT TO MEASURES IMPOSED BY
RESOLUTION 1572 (2004)
“In June 2006, Armed Forces Journal published
this map from Ralph Peters, a prominent pro-war
strategist. It shows the method to the madness --
creating ethnic tension and civil war in order to
redraw the boundaries. Most of the existing
borders were imposed by Britain and France after
World War I - and conveniently (for the US and
Europe) divide most of the Arabs from most of the
oil. Note that their new "Arab Shia State" would
contain much of the oil, separating governments in
Riyadh, Baghdad and Tehran from what is currently
the main source of their national wealth.” Many
of the rebels who control the oil in Cote d’
Ivoire and in the Ivory Coast are trained how to
take over the oil fields and trained in new
weapons in the Middle Eastern area before they
travel back to the Ivory Coast. [found at

WHEREAS, Samuel A. Weems, who was elected as one

Arkansas Constitution and once held the office of
prosecuting attorney has written a widely
published article condemning Carol Payne
Flavell’s support of violent activities and
terrorists. Among his many statements to her
which he forwarded to numerous politicians and
published many places, he said: “Shame on you
Ms. Flavell. Read the Minnesota Advocates for
Human Rights report on their web site
www.mnadvocates.org Ms. Flavell-I am certain that
you are aware of the fact that the United Nations
voted not once but on five different occasions
demanding…withdraw from its unlawful occupation
of Nagorno-Karabakh because they have illegally
invaded 20% of Azerbaijani lands. These United
Nations resolutions can be verified in their
yearly reports. Therefore, I am amazed that you
should allocate $15 million dollars of my tax
money to help such acts of terrorism against
Muslims and Jews. The United States “claims”
to be fighting against such terrorist acts that
your agency is encouraging and supporting.
Consider what the United Nations says…Ms.
Flavell”
WHEREAS, Samuel A. Weems, who was elected as one
of the one hundred delegates to rewrite the
Arkansas Constitution and once held the office of
prosecuting attorney has written a widely
published article condemning Carol Payne
Flavell’s support of violent activities and
terrorists. Among his many statements to her
which he forwarded to numerous politicians and
published many places, he said, “Consider this
fact Ms. Flavell. The United States is a co-chair
with Russia of what is called the Minsk group.
This is an organization of countries who claim to
be fair and who "claim" to be working to help
Azerbaijan and Armenia work out a peace settlement
for Nagorno-Karabakh. How can the United States
be fair when you are giving $15 million dollars
(this time to an Armenian American) organization
to rebuild only Armenian losses in this region and
nobody knows if this money will not be spent to
support the 50.000 Armenian terrorists occupying
Karabakh?”
WHEREAS, Carol Payne Flavell has stated, in
regards to her dealings with Armenia.
“Andre and I were talking about all this for the
third time tonight and something “clicked.”
It was that line about they already know about YOU
that was riding under my skin all day. Shit, it
is all coming into focus. It was already clear to
me that this guy plays an intelligence function
here, they often get placed in consular. The key
phrase in all of this is “they already know all
about YOU.” I imagine he already knows about me
from the Armenia files… ”

Photo of a Suitcase
Full of Cocaine
WHEREAS, Carol Payne Flavell has stated,
“…guy with locks is going to cart a suitcase
full of cocaine to the U.S. I had never formally
met this shit-head until I walked up and
introduced myself this morning…
…But we’ve run into each other a lot and
he’s about my age and has definitely given me
the eye on more than one occasion, some very warm
greetings. his little wet dream got a nasty wake
up call this morning when mssr. very black with
dreads showed up at his counter. fuck that
sonofabitch. I probably can’t get it into his
personnel file but I can make some loud noise.
Fuck… I don’t let these guys mess up my day.
As I told Andre, they don’t want you or me dead,
they want us very much alive because they know we
both have extensive networks at many levels and
they want entree to those contacts. That was the
message I have heard a number of times, most
recently…. But shit, they never let a trail go
cold. We got through today’s events and are
laughing about it, that’s a good thing. I will
make sure Andre has a visa in hand before I make
waves, and I’m going to make some very big
waves. Perhaps it goes back to the dream, these
little assholes get wiped out, I hope it goes that
way. love, Carol” – [Email sent by Carol Payne
Flavell on Nov 5, 2009]
WHEREAS, Samuel A. Weems, who was elected as one
of the one hundred delegates to rewrite the
Arkansas Constitution and once held the office of
prosecuting attorney published his article
condemning Carol Payne Flavell’s support of
violent activities and terrorists on October 20th
and within 4 months he was found dead.
WHEREAS, Carol Payne Flavell has stated, in
regards to her private business known as
Thunderbolt: “Micah [Jones] and Andre [Nkouaga],
the other two directors of Thunderbolt.”
WHEREAS, Carol Payne Flavell has stated:
“Most of my available funds have now moved to an
account in france to transfer here for the
club/business. This was an act of faith on my
part, I like having a nest egg, and there’s a
good chance that money could go down the drain if
the political situation goes sour again (which is
going to happen if you read the latest UN report
on CI). Meanwhile we have the children
issues…”
WHEREAS, Carol Payne Flavell has stated, in
numerous emails written by her that have been
widely published, that she and her fellow
directors of Thunderbolt, “Micah [Jones] and
Andre [Nkouaga],” have current, ongoing legal
troubles all over the world. Yet Carol Payne
Flavell has somehow been able to spend $10,000.00
per month to get her son and fellow business
director Micah Jones out of legal trouble when she
stated, “I haven’t mentioned this, but Micah
got himself in deep shit back east that has cost
about $10K a month [in legal fees] for the past
few months, and he is...also coming here.”
[Email sent by Carol Payne Flavell on Thu, Oct 29,

Section 7.2
WHEREAS, Carol Payne Flavell has stated, in
numerous emails written by her that have been
widely published, that she and her fellow
directors of Thunderbolt, “Micah [Jones] and
Andre [Nkouaga],” have current, legal troubles
all over the world. Carol Payne Flavell stated:
“Then another thing hit this week. You probably
remember my stories about the problem employees…
well that has gotten very ugly, both are
threatening me with lawsuits. …they are coming
after me with both barrels blasting to the point
where our… lawyer is out doing research on civil
cases in foreign courts and referring me to
private lawyers, even he admitted that it is…
possible… to file a civil case that will be
decided by court. I would have laughed about this
a week ago but it’s no longer a laughing matter.
These two…want revenge. So no matter how
frivolous, I’m likely to end up spending lots of
money on counsel to try to “fight” a case in a
court that is controlled by one of the plaintiffs.
I would laugh but it’s no longer funny. The
allegations are really about him, she is
peripheral to it, but she has a green card and
says she has high-level political connections
(Hillary Clinton) and so is cleaning up behind
him, saying that she is the one who has been
“harmed” by it all. On Tuesday… we thought
the coast was clear. Wed morning, an email went
out that she was sick (he asked an admin assistant
to send the message), then he came in and asked
for 3 days off, next thing we hear, she is
“hospitalized…” they immediately insert an
IV drip line… …the two heads of agency go to
visit her at the hospital and he is there holding
her hand when they walk in. He is a doctor. It is
clear… that they are trying to document
“physical harm” for a future court case; and
they are also playing the “sympathy” card. If
it weren’t bad enough already, he called in
today that his house was burglarized last night
and all the portable phones and his wife’s
jewelry was stolen… some of that stolen property
might be thrown into my yard shortly.” [Email
sent by Carol Payne Flavell on Thu, Oct 29, 2009]
WHEREAS, Carol Payne Flavell has repeatedly stated
her experience in being able to move government
money in statements such as
“I…then headed to a 2 hour policy agenda
meeting I was chairing, went well except that my
nemesis was present and making comments to the
effect that I’d screwed up actions for which he
was responsible. Cockroach. Cafard in french and
it has a particularly ugly meaning here, even 35
years ago the ivorians were calling the Burkina
“les cafards” because they were entering the
country to get a job. Next, I move immediately to
a two person meeting with the head of data
collection for the government, to discuss next
year’s workplan and how to move the money. My
masters is in nutrition and I have years of
experience… and I know how to move the money, so
that was an interesting meeting.”
[Email sent by Carol Payne Flavell on Nov 4, 2009]
THEREFORE, it is concluded that Carol Payne
Flavell and Andre Nkouaga’s finances all over
the world warrant a full investigation.
FURTHER, the United States government has allowed,
and is continuing to allow, Carol Payne Flavell to
benefit and/or direct the American people’s tax
money.
THEREFORE, it is up to the American people to
exercise their rights and hold Carol Payne Flavell
and Andre Nkouaga accountable for financial
irregularities which may or may not lead to the
support of other friends in high places of Carol
Payne Flavell.

America declare the following,
TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT: Pursuant to the
Bill of Rights, Amendment One, we, the people of
the United States, declare that we are grieved
over the actions of Carol Payne Flavell and Andre
Nkouaga and hereby petition the United States

parents of a presidential candidate need to be
born Ivorians.
October 2000 Guei proclaims himself president
after announcing he has won presidential

Laurent Gbagbo
President
from 26 Oct 2000
to present
2001 - Blé Goudé founded the Coordination des
jeunes patriotes in 2001, and the Congrès
Panafricaine des Jeunes Patriotes (COJEP) in the
same year.
January 2001 Attempted coup fails.
February 6 2001 Two generals Lassana Palenfo and
Aboulaye Coulibaly accused of trying to
assassinate the former military ruler, General
Robert Guei, appear in court to face an additional
charge embezzling more than three million dollars
belonging to the country's national lottery and

violence erupted between their supporters in
October 2000 and agree to work towards
reconciliation.

manipulating ethnic problems, especially between
the several million Burkinabe immigrants and
locals, to retain power.
October 2001 Gbagbo sets up a National
Reconciliation Forum. General Guei refuses to
attend in protest against the arrest of his close
aide Captain Fabien Coulibaly. UN insists on
reconciliation before it will resume aid.
19 September 2002 - Blé Goudé , having gotten
news of the coup d'État on 19 September 2002,
left England for Côte d'Ivoire, where he founded
the Alliance des jeunes patriotes pour le sursaut
national, which he directed with Serge Kuyo, an
organization which he described as a mouvement de
combat. He has since played an important role in
Ivoirian politics as a supporter of the policies
of Laurent Gbagbo. He has organized protests and
demonstrations in support of the president and in
protest against the rebellion in the north of
Côte d'Ivoire. He has also lent support to the
police, for example in helping break up protests
backing the Kléber Peace Accords [on 25 March
2004], which resulted in 120 dead and 20 missing.
His organisation, which has become an armed
militia, is infamous for violence and looting, but
is seen as protected by the government.
Rebellion
19 September 2002 Rebellious exiled military
personnel and co-conspirators in Abidjan
simultaneously attacked government ministers as
well as military and security facilities in
Abidjan, Bouake, and Korhogo. In Abidjan,
government forces stopped the coup attempt within
hours, but the attacks resulted in the deaths of
Emile Boga Doudou, Minister of Interior, and
several high-ranking military officers, including
General Guei and his family. The failed coup
attempt quickly evolved into a rebellion,
splitting the country in two. The rebels, calling
themselves the "Patriotic Movement of Côte
d'Ivoire" (MPCI), retained control in Bouake and
Korhogo, and within two weeks moved to take the
remainder of the northern half of the country.
Soon, they were advancing towards Abidjan. The
presence of French soldiers between Bouake and
Yamoussoukro stopped the rebel advance to Abidjan.
October 2002 – Blé Goudé and COJEP, as well
as previously unknown rebel groups, the Ivorian
Popular Movement for the Great West (MPIGO) and
the Movement for Justice and Peace (MJP) and other
rebels who came from as far away as Armenia
suddenly receive over 10 million dollars of
support for more weapons from an unknown source
that many believe was from a US government group.
Samuel A. Weems, who was elected as one of the
one hundred delegates to rewrite the Arkansas
Constitution and once held the office of
prosecuting attorney has written a widely
published article in October condemning Carol
Payne Flavell’s support of violent activities
and terrorists. Among his many statements to her
which he forwarded to numerous politicians and
published many places, he said “Ms. Flavell, by
your agency’s giving $15 million US tax
dollars… Your action is nothing more than the
total support for [a] regime that is guilty of
ethnic cleansing.”
October-December 2002 There were clashes and a
battle for the key cocoa-industry town of Daloa.
Previously unknown rebel groups, the Ivorian
Popular Movement for the Great West (MPIGO) and
the Movement for Justice and Peace (MJP), seize
towns in west. MPIGO and MJP were allied with the
MPCI, and The three groups began calling
themselves the "New Forces."
January 2003 Samuel A. Weems, who once held the
office of prosecuting attorney published his
article condemning Carol Payne Flavell’s support
of violent activities and terrorists on October
20th, 2002, and within 4 months, In January 2003,
he was found dead. This would be the last US
prosecuting attorney to dare to publicly critique
Carol Payne Flavell. The coincidental timing of
his death is widely noticed and there is talk
within the Agency that Carol may be transferred as
a result.
UPRISING
August 2003 Group of suspected mercenaries and
their backers detained in France; said to have
planned to assassinate President Gbagbo. Carol
Payne Flavell using the name ‘Carol Flavell’
officially receives a ‘reassignment’ from
Armenia to COMP/FS. [September 2003 issue of
FrontLines Newspaper, pg 12, the official
newsletter of USAID].
2003 September Rebels accuse President Gbagbo of
failing to honor peace agreement and pull out of
unity government.
27 November 2003 - Pro-government militias in
Côte d’Ivoire are committing serious abuses
against civilians, including killings and torture,
Human Rights Watch said today. The Ivorian
government and international peacekeeping forces
must take steps to control the rise of these
militias, which operate with impunity
30 November 2003 a group of "young patriots"
supported by some 100 government troops (FANCI)
attempt to forcibly cross the ceasefire line in
the area of Mbahiakro, east of Bouake. Their goal
is to launch an attack against the New Forces in
Bouake. The group is stopped by the French Licorne
forces. A FANCI armored personnel carrier is
destroyed during the ensuing exchange of gunfire.
This incident constituted a grave violation of the
ceasefire agreement.
11 December 2003 Nineteen are killed in armed
attack on state TV building in Abidjan. It is
between Government forces and a militia group
calling itself "the Ninjas." This aggravates
concerns regarding the safety of the New Forces
cabinet ministers and prompts a decision by the
New Forces to delay their return to the
Government.
Rebels rejoin government of national unity.
March 2004 The government says 37+ people were
killed on Thursday when police and the army
prevented a march to call for the full
implementation of the Linas-Marcoussis peace
Accord. Opposition leaders say the death toll had
risen to 162.
April 2004 – Charles Blé Goudé is quoted as
announcing: “France will come to know a Second
Algerian War.” [Le Courrier d'Abidjan, 23 April
2004] It is significant to note that The Algerian
War, was a conflict between France and Algerian
independence movements from 1954 to 1962, which
led to Algeria gaining its independence from
France. An important decolonization war, it was a
complex conflict characterized by guerrilla
warfare, maquis fighting, terrorism against
civilians, use of rape and torture on both sides
and counter-terrorism operations by the French
Army. Effectively started by members of the
National Liberation Front (FLN) on 1 November
1954 during the Toussaint Rouge ("Red All Saints'
Day"), the conflict shook the French Fourth
Republic's (1946–58) foundations and led to its
collapse
May 2004 – Charles Blé Goudé is quoted as
announcing: I don't want to see Le Patriote, Le
Libéral and the papers of the RDR in newsstands
beginning Monday. I will assume all the
consequences. [TF1, May 2004]
A 2004 A United Nations force begins deployment.
Jules Yao Yao
Spokesman of the armed forces
June 2004 Ivorian Mi-24s flew their first strike
against rebel positions near the village of
Mamimigui, in the centre of the country, some
370km NW from Abidjan. Five government soldiers
and 15 rebels were killed. Spokesman of the armed
forces of Côte d'Ivoire, Col. Jules Yao Yao,
specified that Mi-24s were sent to attack several
rebel positions.
13 October 2004 Ivorian rebels say they will not
disarm, as planned, until immigration laws are
changed.
28 October 2004 Vendors selling newspapers accused
of supporting the opposition are attacked by
pro-government militants in Abidjan and southern
towns.
Government launches air strikes
At the beginning of 2004, Blé Goudé called for
the expulsion of French peacekeeping troops from
Côte d'Ivoire, and during June he organized a
sit-in outside the headquarters of the French 43e
bataillon d'infanterie de marine in Port-Bouët in
Abidjan.
Early in November 2004, after the peace agreement
had effectively collapsed following the rebels'
refusal to disarm, Gbagbo ordered airstrikes
against the rebels. During one of these airstrikes
in Bouaké, French soldiers were hit and nine of
them were killed; the Ivorian government has said
it was a mistake, but the French have claimed it
was deliberate. They responded by destroying most
Ivoirian military aircraft, and violent
retaliatory riots against the French broke out in
Abidjan.
During the week from 31 October to 5 November
2004, Blé Goudé and his supporters intensified
their recruitment and training of armed
supporters.
4 November 2004 The air strikes are on New Forces
camps in Bouake and Korhogo in the rebel-held
territory in north.
5 November 2004 Government continues air strikes
and clashes on the ground in north.
6 November 2004 An Ivorian air strike, delivered
around 1:30 PM, hit a French position near Bouake.
The bombing kills nine French peacekeepers and an
American aid worker. In less than one hour, French
peacekeepers destroy almost all the country's air
force. This caused an outburst of anti-French
feelings in Côte d'Ivoire. Within 48 hours no
less than five French schools are burned in
Abidjan and Yamoussoukro. Homes are looted and
dozens of French shops destroyed. Amidst an
upsurge of anti-Western propaganda from the
government controlled Radio télévision
ivoirienne and newspapers like Le Courrier
d'Abidjan, the jeunes patriotes came out into the
streets, attacking targets they thought supported
European interests, especially the French Military
and civilians. Attempts by these nationalist
groups to seize the airport and the city center
failed. Charles Blé Goudé, claiming the French
Military was attempting a coup against the
Ivoirien government, urged his supporters to
surround Abidjan airport, and to form a human
chain around the residence of president Gbagbo,
near the hôtel Ivoire. In the demonstrations that
followed attacks on foreigners, Muslims, and on
anyone perceived as not fully Ivorian (or fully
supporting the government) culminated in a French
led evacuation of western and middle eastern
civilians from the country. [Note: For a more
detailed analysis please learn about the 'The
Ivorian Civil War,' which was a civil war in Côte
d'Ivoire that officially began on September 19,
2002.
Charles Blé Goudé
November 2004
9,000 traumatized foreigners including 8,000
French and 200 Britons, as well as Lebanese,
Moroccans, Spaniards, Italians, Canadians,
Americans and Belgians are evacuated after Blé
Goudé, the leader of the "Young Patriots," called
on Ivorians to take to the streets to confront
French troops. The "Young Patriots" loyal to
President Laurent Gbagbo are blamed for much of
the violence.
9 November 2004 French soldiers fired to disperse
protesters after days of rioting in the main city
Abidjan. French troops deployed in Abidjan, said
their only aim was to protect French citizens and
property. Ivorian militants accused them of
planning to topple President Laurent Gbagbo.
Demonstrators ransacked the Hotel Ivoire after
French troops pulled out and smoke rose into the
sky.
December 2004 Parliament passes key reforms
envisaged under the 2003 Linas-Marcoussis
Agreement, including abolishing need for the
president to have both Ivorian mother and father.
Summer 2005 Massacres in western town of Duekoue:
President Gbagbo says more than 100 people were
killed, but contradicts widely-held view that
ethnic rifts lay behind violence. The United
States Agency for International Development
(USAID) Front Lines newsletter publishes a
headline news story on their front page stating
“Agency programs… ...increased to $1.2
Billion this year.” News reports confirm that
Blé Goudé, the leader of the "Young Patriots,"
suddenly receives over 80 million dollars of
support for more weapons from an unknown source
that many believe was from a US government group.
This permanently makes Blé Goudé the most
powerful man in Côte d'Ivoire. Carol Payne
Flavell officially is listed as “retired”, and
starts structuring plans to create her own private
enterprise, Thunderbolt Enterprise, within the
next three years and in order to utilize her
decades of government networks and friends in
Africa and around the world. She is now using the
name ‘Carol Payne Flavell.’ President Gbagbo
grows increasingly nervous of his political
ability to win another election now that Blé
Goudé has friends who can raise over 80 millions
dollars for Blé Goudé and his Young Patriots.
Ble Goude utters one of his most famous quotes:
“We too stupidly follow Gbagbo.”
[July-August 2005 issue of FrontLines Newspaper,
the official newsletter of USAID].
October 2005 Planned elections are shelved as
President Gbagbo invokes a law which he says
allows him to stay in power.
Charles Konan Banny
Prime Minister
December 2005
December 6, 2005 The head of West Africa's Central
bank(BCEAO), Charles Konan Banny named as
transitional prime minister of Côte d'Ivoire
until October 2006.
January 2006 - January 16, 2006, the Young
Patriots were involved in violent demonstrations
against the UN, and in one incident, at least four
were killed after an exchange of fire at a UN
peacekeeper's camp. UN peacekeepers are allowed to
shoot if they come under violent attack. The
crisis began after UN mediators called for the
National Assembly of Côte d'Ivoire to be
dissolved and for Gbagbo's mandate to end. During
the days that followed, Blé Goudé directs youth
to the street and within hours thousands of youths
clashed with UN peacekeepers. The Young Patriots
seized control of the offices of Cote d'Ivoire's
state-owned television channel, RTI, and broadcast
repeated messages to attack the UN base in Daloa,
as well as French targets. They also reportedly
ransacked a community radio station, Radio
Tchrato-Daloa which had refused to let them in, as
well as besieging a UN base and the French embassy
for two days.
2006 - “UN Sanctions Committee place Ble Goude
on the Sanctions List today. Carol begins to
travel for networking and briefly visits Haiti
among other places worldwide. [Global Security
2/2006]
March 2007 - After multiple peace accords and
postponed national elections, Ivorian President
Gbagbo and the New Forces rebel leader, Guillaume
Soro, signed a peace agreement that established a
new transitional government with Gbagbo as
President and Soro as Prime Minister. UN and
French peacekeepers remain in the country. The new
government is tasked with disarmament,
demobilization, reintegration of former
combatants, creating a national identification
system, and organizing elections by early 2008.
January 2008 – USAID publishes a report titled
‘PEFPAR FUNDED PARTNERS IN LESOTHO.’ Carol is
listed as ‘Carol Flavell’ and is the Interim
USAID Program Manager. On over 8 different
activities she is listed as the Primary PEPFAR
Manager of the activity. She manages activities
and they all have a large range of funding
partners with well known groups such as the
Georgetown University School of Nursing - Health
Resources Services Admin. (HRSA) listed as an
Implementing Partner & USG PEPFAR Funding Agency
to groups as diverse as the Lesotho Defense Force
(LDF) – US Department of Defense listed as an
Implementing Partner & USG PEPFAR Funding Agency).
August 2008 – Carols travel
back to Côte d'Ivoire, Africa
in hopes of profiting from
the cheap production costs
and exports for her newly
formed business which begins “offering stock in
Thunderbolt Enterprises,” which is the name of
her newly formed corporation that has her and
Andre as chief stockholders. She sends out an
email stating, “The only concern, as I
mentioned, is that I cannot have a job here [Côte
d'Ivoire] other than my principal job, so if you
[Olympia, Washington Law Firm] need to set it up
to reflect that, fine to make Micah or Andre the
CEO and me the secretary. There is probably a clever
way to do this.”
Although she realizes it is illegal to work for
both USAID and her private corporation at the same
time due to the conflict of interest, she indeed,
once again starts working for USAID which pays for
her salary, full benefits, housing and shipping
cost of several containers weighing more than a
ton with her household and Thunderbolt Enterprises
goods and items shipped by a boat paid by
the government.
On Sat, Aug 23, 2008 Carol Payne Flavell is in
Africa and sends out an email all over the world
with the subject “INVITATION TO INVEST: DO NOT
FORWARD.” [See Reference Section 9.1 of Carol's
emails, to read the extended transcript of the
email.] Carol begins very aggressively working
deals and negotiations for her Thunderbolt
Enterprises and states in the email to investors,
“when you have Americans and Africans
tag-teaming local suppliers and producers you can
drive down the costs of production immensely.”
September 2009 - Carol Payne Flavell is in Africa
and sends out an email: "I’m in a catch-22,
although under my original contract I could leave
when I wanted, there’s a rumour that under the
new one I’ve have to have 18 or 24 months
cumulative for shipping rights. I may well have
to stay put until Feb or even August 2010 to get
my household effects shipped." [Email Sent by
Carol Payne Flavell on Sep 28, 2009]
November 2009 – For decades, Carol’s
relationship with Ble Goude had remained
semi-private. In November 2009, she begins
attending private VIP only functions and dances
with him that are televised even though she knows
that “official american staff are told to avoid
him and any event where he will be present like
the plague… … After we took our seats one of
the organizers came to ask me if the Ambassador
would be coming (she had declined the invitation
because Ble Goude was one of the sponsors).”
She states “It would all be a fond memory except
I learned after that they filmed me from 4
directions and it will definitely be on Ivorian tv
(Nostalgie).” [Email Sent by Carol Payne Flavell
on Nov 6, 2009]
December 2009 - Now that UN and French
peacekeepers have remained in the country for over
two years, the public protests, which are now
protected, start against Carol for many of their
unethical business practices, unethical activities
and perceived rigging of Black Market AIDS?HIV
medicine as well as televised support of
individuals such as Ble Goude. The anger of the
people intensifies especially after Carol’s
crimes against the doctor and others which are
headed towards Civil Court [See Petition Section
7.2 of the Petition, to read the extended
transcript of the email about the doctor and the
hospitalized citizens.] The presidential
candidate, a rival of Ble Goude, publicly declares
Carol ‘an enemy of the people’ after Carol
uses USAID/PEPFAR to sponsor interviews and
investigations for over year into his private life
to publicly expose what her voodoo instincts call
his “dark side.” [See section 9.1 for
detailed emails]. Carol and Andre are forced to
hide while preparing to flee the country. While
hiding, numerous soldiers who are employed to
protect them attempt to assassinate them. [See
Emails in Section 9.1 for detailed emails]. Carol
arrives in Olympia mid December 2009 and goes on a
spending spree for the next month receiving over
$400,000.00 in goods and services while preparing
to travel abroad again. Arranges a Music video to
be filmed at the Washington Center for the
Performing Arts and rents both stages and the
entire building for two days for Andre's Music
Video. She also rents the 983-seat proscenium
theater. It has been described as a post-modern
version of a European opera house with seating on
four levels.
She employs a DJ, special effects lighting,
professional photographers, storyboard artists,
dancer, director, assistant directors, caterers,
storyboard artists, a drummer flown in from
Berlin, French translators for Andre as well as
much more. Washington DC sends agents to Tacoma,
Washington and she has the assistant director
drive her from Olympia to Tacoma and Carol gives a
debriefing on the events that led up to her and
Andre fleeing Africa. She then returns to
Olympia. She later rents out several Seattle
venues including a professional recording studio
for Andre. She finances all of this by placing a
4 minute spot in the video for the President’s
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the
United States Agency for International
Development” (USAID) as well as a 30 second
thank you to Hoops4Africa in Andre’s music
videos which total over 4 hours of film.
1 December 2010 - “Hoops [Hoops 4 Africa[ wants
to come to CI in April [2010] or so and asked us
for $400K. Our team has offered them $25K, rather
insulting considering some of the crap we finance.
I've told the Exec Director that we will try to
get him 'private' donations so he doesn't have to
depend on the USG with all its strings. He, in
turn, has offered to personally request Dennis
Rodman and Magic Johnson for the CI tour. (I am
such a sucker for glitz, I just LOVE Rodman's
style and have always wanted to meet him just to
see the hair up close; Magic, of course, can speak
with authority on HIV/AIDS prevention.) Anyway,
this is a sidebar. “ [Email Sent by Carol Payne
Flavell on Dec 1, 2009]
26 December 2010 – Carol purchases a brand new
two-seater, red European luxury sports car her and
Andre and purchases a van with velvet like
interior for Micah, her son.
Photo of Carol’s brand new car.
She then reserves luxurious travel and Penthouse
Suites overlooking the coast in Port Townsend,
Washington for her entire business team to have a
‘business meeting.’ Carol states in her
email: “We are staying a second night and will
be coming back tomorrow (Sunday). — the manager
was VERY impressed. I would like to have the
annual business meeting (required) of Thunderbolt
Enterprises here over New Year’s. I
have…booked the penthouse unit…for December
30/31 and January 1. I wanted to invite the folks
who had helped us most, I am happy to do it and
would plan to have a few hours of serious business
discussion and then ….just head out and play.
…this place is…luxurious, with a gorgeous look
out over the water and the cascades, mother
mountain prominent, in the distance. If I wanted
to do it near Oly, I’d just do it at the house.
I want to get everyone “away” from the house
and Oly, Also, I can’t hold off until next
year, I need to hold this meeting this calendar
year, darn those state business folks. Here’s
the score. This place has…two suites on the
third floor lower level…Andre and I will take
one…the other two beds are on the upper “crows
nest” level, they are also separated in space.
There is a huge conference space beside the
kitchen on the main level…there is certainly
lots of room. I am happy with inviting all with
exception of DJ Dave, neither of the musicians
thought he was worth the investment, don’t think

also conference facilities, including speakerphone
in the unit, so we can “conference” and there
is DSL internet and an open access machine in the

January 2010 - Carol begins bouncing over
$40,000.00 in checks and credit card purchases on
services and items that she has received over the
last month which she had someone else purchase for
her. She keeps the receipts enabling her to use
these items as tax write offs. She also begins
performing illegal evictions on the tenants in her
properties in the middle of winter. Micah Jones,
her son and fellow business director of
Thunderbolt, helps to store thousands of dollars
in items that they have stolen from tenants in his
bedroom. Typically she evicts people who can't
afford legal services but runs into problems when
one tenant receives the help of Thurston County
Volunteer Legal services (TCVLS) because of the
illegal eviction. Her Olympia based lawyers help
her stay out of prison despite the numerous
bounced checks, stolen property, tax fraud and
illegal evictions. Near the end of January, after
her tenants have been evicted, she goes on a
luxurious month long trip around numerous cities
in Europe with Andre.
May 2010 – Carol begins shifting property titles
and bank accounts around the world as there is
growing unrest about her numerous illegal
activities in Olympia, WA, and the rest of the
world and a class action lawsuit begins to form
against her. She considers moving back to an
African country and going into 'consulting' where
she has stated she will make even more money with
help from the world’s ‘revolving door’ that
operates the billions of dollars in the HIV/AIDS
government and corporate healthcare industry.
END OF TIMELINE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The revolving door is the movement of personnel
between roles as legislators, administrative
government employees regulators and the industries
affected by the legislation and regulation and
within lobbying companies. In some cases the roles
are performed in sequence but in certain
circumstances may be performed at the same time.
Political analysts claim that an unhealthy
relationship can develop between the private
sector and government, based on the granting of
reciprocated privileges to the detriment of the
nation and the world especially in healthcare.
The Open Secrets Revolving Door Website states:
“Although the influence powerhouses that line
Washington's K Street are just a few miles from
the U.S. Capitol building, the most direct path
between the two doesn't necessarily involve public
transportation. Instead, it's through a door—a
revolving door that shuffles former federal
employees into jobs as lobbyists, consultants and
strategists just as the door pulls former hired
guns into government careers. While officials in
the executive branch, Congress and senior
congressional staffers spin in and out of the
private and public sectors, so too does privilege,
power, access and, of course, money.”

Below is an excerpt of one of Carol Payne
Flavell's emails:
PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD OR DISTRIBUTE THIS MESSAGE
TO FRIENDS OR COLLEAGUES, IT CONTAINS VALUABLE
TRADE INFORMATION. If you know of others who are
interested, please have them contact me directly
at voodoomama@[email domain name].com
As close friends and family, we would like you to
know that we are currently offering stock in
Thunderbolt Enterprises. We will issue stock
certificates for your shares and provide a
quarterly update of corporate growth and
activities.
This offer is good through September 30, 2008 at
which time the corporation will be established and
will not cash your checks until the corporation is
in place, target date September 5. You can take
advantage of it by sending me an email at
voodoomama@[email domain name].com telling me how
many shares you would like and whether you want
music production or textile shares or both, and
the number of shares of each you would like.
Once I have that email in hand, I will treat it as
a commitment on both sides and it is ok if the
check is in the mail. Mailing address is: Carol
Payne, PMB 2615, 2103 {street name] , NW, Olympia,
WA 98502. I think this is going to be a hugely
successful enterprise, it is already capitalized
at $100,000 and we have other potential investors
lined up for an additional $75,000. We are giving
you the opportunity to invest before the share
price starts to rise. The email below (to my
lawyer and accountant) will tell you how the
corporation will be structured and the range of
activities already underway or planned. On the
music side, Andre has an invitation to visit two
major music and entertainment moguls in L.A.
(Scott Paige, formerly of Pink Floyd and Doug
McElvoy, with Disney) to discuss potential
business and we are currently finalizing an
agreement with our PR company and agent (based in
Miami). Andre has been in production in Berlin
and Paris the past 2 months, arrives here next
week to set up shop, and is releasing a CD with
Benkadi International at a concert in Paris later
this year.
- Set up so we can have an office or subsidiary in
Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire and one in Paris, France
(we will be opening a business account with
Standard Chartered bank in Abidjan, their US
headquarters is in NY).
[Below is an excerpt of attached letter to
friends]
The only concern, as I mentioned, is that I cannot
have a job here other than my principal job, so if
you need to set it up to reflect that, fine to
make Micah or Andre the CEO and me the secretary.
There is probably a clever way to do this so I am
open to suggestions. Also, I know that Joann is
worried...the tax folks will come snooping. I
don't think that is a concern.
Officers of the corporation should be Carol Payne
(do not use Flavell, my name is changing early
next year), Andre Nkouaga, Micah Jones and Michel
Nsi. I do not have a Taxpayer ID number for
Andre, but I do have his passport number (which
was sufficient to put his name on bank accounts in
the US), let me know if you need it. Michel does
not yet have a passport, if it is needed, then
hold off for now in making him an officer and we
can amend once he has one. Issue stock as
follows: Carol (49%), Andre (49), Micah (1),
Michel (1). On the textile side, Carol (60),
Andre (30) and Rebekah Hoffaker (10). We have
already invested approximately $75,000 and I
anticipate an additional $25,000 prior to the end
of the year, so I guess that means initial value
of stock is $100,000. Attribute 90,000 shares to
music side (90,000) and 10,000 shares to textile
side ($10,000). Plus when you have Americans and
Africans tag-teaming local suppliers and producers
you can drive down the costs of production
immensely.
If you have questions or need more information,
give me a good time (your time) to call in -- note
that 10am to 2pm YOUR time is the best for me.
Thanks, Carol
-”Finally, I mentioned that PR agent Patrice
Destin, is planning to join us, arrives 19th,
departs the 23rd, I believe. Patrice is really a
hot property and is associated with some of the
biggest names in the business (also doing the
marketing for "Where the Wild Things Are.") He is
a friend, of all strange things he got invited as
a 19 year old AA flight attendant to a blow out
party at my house in Port-au-Prince in 1998. He
never forgot that and when I next saw him in 2006
in Haiti, he remembered me by name, my house, etc.
Patrice is fascinated with me, for some reason.
He is one of the most charismatic, hotties I've
ever encountered, pure sweetness and charm, my
blood pressure jumps about 30 points when he walks
into the room. We have a very weird chemistry
together. I am going to talk to him before he
arrives and will have Micah and Nancy prepared to
keep him occupied because Andre is extremely
jealous of me (not a bad thing, usually quite
sweet), and I don't want any vibes or mis-steps
that could have an impact on his music. My guess
is that Andre will be so concentrated on his work
with Benedikt and others that he won't be noticing
much of anything, but I want to be sure. “

First amendment: an overview
The First Amendment of the United States
Constitution protects the right to freedom of
religion and freedom of expression from government
interference. See U.S. Const. amend. I. Freedom of
expression consists of the rights to freedom of
speech, press, assembly and to petition the
government for a redress of grievances, and the
implied rights of association and belief. The
Supreme Court interprets the extent of the
protection afforded to these rights. The First
Amendment has been interpreted by the Court as
applying to the entire federal government even
though it is only expressly applicable to
Congress. Furthermore, the Court has interpreted,
the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment
as protecting the rights in the First Amendment
from interference by state governments. See U.S.
Const. amend. XIV.
The most basic component of freedom of expression
is the right of freedom of speech. The right to
freedom of speech allows individuals to express
themselves without interference or constraint by
the government. The Supreme Court requires the
government to provide substantial justification
for the interference with the right of free speech
where it attempts to regulate the content of the
speech. A less stringent test is applied for
content-neutral legislation. The Supreme Court has
also recognized that the government may prohibit
some speech that may cause a breach of the peace
or cause violence. For more on unprotected and
less protected categories of speech see advocacy
of illegal action, fighting words, commercial
speech and obscenity. The right to free speech
includes other mediums of expression that
communicate a message. The level of protection
speech receives also depends on the forum in which
it takes place.
Despite popular misunderstanding the right to
freedom of the press guaranteed by the first
amendment is not very different from the right to
freedom of speech. It allows an individual to
express themselves through publication and
dissemination. It is part of the constitutional
protection of freedom of expression.
The right to petition the government for a redress
of grievances guarantees people the right to ask
the government to provide relief for a wrong
through the courts (litigation) or other
governmental action. It works with the right of
assembly by allowing people to join together and
seek change from the government.
“‘Perhaps it is the moon, but I got calls from
six work colleagues requesting advice, info
or other. Andre was out, came back home and
listened awhile and was making faces at me as
I talked, dropping his pants to see if he could
shake my concentrations, whispering ‘I think I
know who is running the PEPFAR* program in
Cote d'Ivoire.’ I got off the phone and
joined him upstairs while he was showering…”
