Leo Goldstein writes via email:
I have just filed a motion to intervene in the ExxonMobil v AG Healey (4:16-cv-00469-K) lawsuit, currently pending before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The original lawsuit was filed by Exxon in response to a civil investigative demand (a subpoena equivalent), issued by MA AG Maura Healey. This “investigation” started following the infamous “Attorneys General United for Clean Power” press conference with Al Gore on March 29, which was a culmination of shadowy meetings of trial lawyers, Greenpeace operatives, and other usual suspects, sponsored by Rockefeller Brothers / Rockefellers Family Fund. Much of the evidence has been uncovered by E&E Legal.
To me, the most shocking part is that “AGs United” and many other government officials involved with the energy are like marionettes in the hands of Greenpeace and other foreign forces. And let us not to forget: the Climate Action Network, the apex umbrella organization of climate alarmism, is headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon – probably the largest hub of the international terrorism in the world. Many of CAN members campaign not only against the fossil fuels, but against nuclear power as well, and collect and transmit to the headquarters data about our nuclear facilities. Obama administration is not going to help – consider alerting your local law enforcement.
But my Motion lists many concerns. Investigation by AG Healey against Exxon is an attempt to suppress speech not only by Exxon, but by all citizens who might look for lawful employment, business, or support from Exxon, and similarly situated corporations. Exxon is used (and has been used for the last 15 years) as a tool for suppressing freedom of speech. Some quotes from the Motion and the Complaint:
1) The phony “investigation” by AG Healey and her accomplices is directed against the free speech of the Applicant. AG Healey attacks ExxonMobil because she believes or pretends to believe that ExxonMobil supports, employs, or does business with climate realists – individuals and organizations that disagree with climate alarmism. Climate alarmism and its relative, the global governance agenda, are the core beliefs of the Democratic Party (and possibly its only true beliefs). In fact, ExxonMobil did not speak against climate alarmism in the last 10 years.
AG Healey attempts to deny the Applicant his First Amendment free speech rights in a relatively novel way. She does not tell him, “You are forbidden to disagree with the core beliefs of the Democratic Party.” Instead, she tells his potential employers and supporters, “You are forbidden to employ or support the Applicant, if he disagrees with the core beliefs of the Democratic Party.” Nevertheless, the intent and the effect are the same – denial of the Applicant’s free speech rights. …
2) AG Healey and her accomplices are attempting to establish their climate alarmist beliefs as the state religion. …
3) AG Healey has violated the rights of the Applicant under Article I Section 1 of the Constitution: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. AG Healey has attempted to subject the Applicant to the powers of various international organizations, United Nations agencies, and other foreign entities. …
…
6) The actions by AG Healey devalue the Applicant’s life, in violation of the Fifth Amendment. Climate alarmism, advanced by AG Healey and her accomplices, calls human breath “pollution,” since breathing releases carbon dioxide. Human breath in general and the Applicant’s breath in particular are not pollution. AG Healey must be enjoined from taking any action based on the belief that carbon dioxide is pollution. The actions by AG Healey also imperil the Applicant’s life because they are aimed at shutting down industries that extract, process, and/or use fossil fuels all over the United States. …

The Motion to Intervene might be dismissed by the Judge, or opposed by either party in the lawsuit. Stay tuned.
GO, GOLDSTEIN!
May God bless you with the success of David against Goliath! David had the skill and the courage, all he needed was the opportunity….
I wish I could be your litigation assistant!
With admiration,

Janice,
Thank you very much for your support.

Leo, I followed the links and read it all. It is FANTASTIC what you are doing! Strength to you. Cheers!
I admire your courage and your wide perspectives.

Leo, I came across another quote which made me think about you:
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
– Albert Einstein
GO, GOLDSTEIN!
Nice press release, but very poor from a legal standpoint. Someone should sue under the various Ku Klux Klan laws about conspiracy to violate civil rights under color of authority.
Ugh. That’s right. I work in a law office, and every single time I see a motion worded in terms like those it is flatly denied.
This is a legal issue and needs to be addressed as such. It’s important. This reminds me more of an editorial than a legal document.
Bear in mind that I strongly support the goal of the motion. But I cringe at the wording. Even if the motion is granted here, it will almost certainly be overturned on appeal.
eh… sometimes Train Wrecks stay on the tracks. If this is used as an opening to provide properly worded completion it may stand.
I could not agree more.

He needs a good lawyer to calm him down. This will go nowhere. Spoken as a lawyer. You judge how good after we see where this goes. Have commented on his Don Quixote quest before.
A novel theory poorly written. I’ll bet there are other ways to skin this cat however.
Yes. Even as an engineer, I note that a ton of his stuff would require an immense amount of discovery on his part to even begin to make the case if he even found it. Having said that, it is past time that intimidation by creeps like Healey is met by stronger countermeasures. Somehow, Mass (where I live) has an amazing record of AGs being only capable of being political hacks. The list is long.
Saw an article the other day saying Soros is funding the campaigns of local DAs. That should scare everyone. What purpose would a foreign citizen have in getting local DAs indebted to him?
Political persecution of his enemies is the only reason I can think of.
That being said this will be dismissed poste haste w/prejudice.
Instead of doing one of your usual drive-by, incomplete sentence, denigrations, Mr. Istvan. Why not help the man? If you know how his Complaint could be improved, tell him exactly how.
I think you have the wrong person.
Janice I admire your intentions, but asking anyone with a background in practical law to correct this action is well above and beyond, akin to asking an accomplished composer to turn “Three Blind Mice” into a a symphony. There has to be a starting point, in this example there’s none.
+1 JM, at least this guy is trying and what ever way possible he needs support not derision. Speaking from the legal stand point mr. ristvan may very well be correct ( and is probably correct but at least this is language I understand) but what some have failed to mention was this last sentence Mr Goldstein wrote bevore pointing them out:
“Some quotes from the Motion and the Complaint”:
So we aren’t even seeing the whole document in the statement in the article above and I haven’t read the links. So to me, unless people have seen the whole document and make comments after, there is no room for snide remarks. Thanks
Tom: Mr. Istvan, an attorney, says that Mr. Goldstein’s Complaint is completely ineffective. The Complaint is FULL of facts and on point law. Why not give it a chance to “go somewhere” by HELPING THE MAN instead of just snarking at him is why I wrote so bluntly to Rud Istvan above.
Bartleby: This Complaint is based on facts (some very well known) and relevant law. A competent attorney could easily turn this Complaint into a more proper form/thoroughly legal researched pleading. It would take time, yes, but there are MANY retired, motivated, attorneys who could do just what you believe is impossible.
This is a valiant attempt by a non-lawyer (and a foreign national AND an English-not-first-language writer) to present valid, based in facts legal claims. All he needs is a little help.
Mr. Istvan: Sorry for the tone, but, to attack such a man with NO encouragement or concrete advice is not only unkind, it is unworthy of you (I would like to believe).
Thanks, asybot.
I agree with your comments Janice. Well said
“If you know how his Complaint could be improved, tell him exactly how.”
Simple. Open the Document in word
CNTRL + A
SHIFT +DELETE
[Perhaps that would also work on many of Mr. Mosher’s recent snide and pointless comments? /mod]
Remove crap like this, “These “climate models” are electrochemically etched stone
chips, electromagnetically inscribed with programs. AG Healey is free to worship these
stones, accept words and numbers that come out of them as prophecies or proclamations,
and imagine that she “believes in science,” but she has no right to use the power of her
office to force anybody else, including the Applicant, to do the same, even by proxy.”
Cute, but Judges have to read this and don’t appreciate people wasting their time with drivel. I fail to see an establishment of religion because someone pretends to trust computer models. I see an attempt to use fear masquerading as facts to grant the gov’t powers that only would only be allowed in the most dire of emergencies and then only for a limited time. i.e. imposing restrictions of free speech, freedom of association, confiscation of private property etc…
Janice, my heart is with you, really it is. But one does not dip water with a knife.

Janice, you referred to ristvan as such, “Instead of doing one of your usual drive-by, incomplete sentence, denigrations, Mr. Istvan”.
I find ristvan’s comments always worth reading and certainly is not guilty as you charge. Perhaps you meant Mr Mosher.
Dear Tom,
I’m glad that you find Mr. Istvan’s comments so worthwhile. Some of them are (to me). Many of them are of the M0sher variety, however (to me). I appreciate your trying to be sure I had the right person. I did.
Your WUWT ally,
Janice
P.S. (to Tom) Okay, perhaps not “many” (are terse and unfair/unkind). I may be biased by the fact that at least two have been directed at me. But, some are.
Thanks, Istvan. I receive criticism as an attempt to help, not derision. The best help in the current situation is to sue the culprits independently, using the full power of law. The evidence is all over the Internet, and my search engine helps to uncover it. “Culprits” include not only the four hyperactive AGs, but also the EPA head, the “science czar” Holdren, John Podesta, and many other government officials and DNC operatives.
My motion and complaint were filed verified, and I stand behind each word. The motion sounds outlandish because it describes the outlandish situation. Democratic Party fell in the abyss of obscurantism, then sold its soul to the Devil (foreign enemies), in exchange for power. Now it does what the Devil (the foreign enemies) tells it.
“The Devil” is a metaphor here, but it is a suitable and a time honored metaphor.
Unless you could sue independently regarding the “interest” you claim, or can show that a legal right you have is imperiled or necessarily impacted by conclusion of the litigation in which you seek to intervene, your motion will fail unless the judge is asleep or elects to ignore precedent on intervention. While nobody can reasonably doubt your interest in the proceeding, you have not outlined a cognizable legal interest; that is an interest you would have standing to defend. In general, political issues are adjudged affect ordinary citizens’ interests too remotely to given them standing.
I would not be surprised if you end up paying attorney’s fees for whichever side(s) oppose your motion.
Please do not take this as unkind criticism. Just be prepared for an adverse outcome. I think you should consider withdrawing your motion, promptly. (One of the parties may suggest as much, privately.)
Chuckle. Go, Goldstein! But lotsa luck with this petition.
Bravo, Charlie Leo Brown, for pushing back in the name of us all! It is time that AGs stuck to real crime instead of fabricating nonsense.
Heh. There wasn’t much “united” about them, nor did it last long.
“Beware of the fury of a patient man.”

The AGs should turn in their license to practice law and be forced to go back to law school for remedial instruction on the First Amendment for starters. What a bunch of fascist pigs.
Maura Healey, Al Gore, Greenpeace, Climate Action Network, Bill McKibben and 350.org, et al,
What are your plans to deal with deporable knuckledragers like me who will steadfastly refuse to go along with the socialist utopia you plan to foist upon the ignorant proletariat?
I might consider contacting my local law enforcement if contacted by Greenpeace.
Mr. Goldstein’s highly detailed Complaint is a fine summary of the history of the AGW sc@m and the climate hu$tler’s misdeeds — an excellent reference work!

“Pro se.” Go, little David, go! God and one can defeat an army.
Janice
Thanks JM, I sincerely hope this somehow gets accepted by the judge but seeing whose pockets the courts are in? I sort of doubt it. Who knows? Stranger things have happened, I for believe the voice of Mr Goldstein must be heard.
Especially the part about Dr. Happer’s situation prior to his testimony before Congress, that one alone is well worth it. I hope the election coverage will not bury this seeing that CC has been on the back burner for some time.
In my opinion it has been buried for the simple reason Clinton and the left would look the f(t)ools they are. that would cost her dearly. I actually have been surprised Trump and his campaign haven’t pressed her on that at all. The MWM , main world Media) seems to have covered none of this for the same fear. But I guess we’ll see what happens after the election. We live in interesting times.
Remember, this, too, Mr. Goldstein, David, too, was mocked and jeered at by the regular army guys; his own people hissed at him. David did not have a sword. David did not have a shield or a helmet or a spear. He just had a little sling and one stone.
And that one little stone brought down a giant.
Well it was no “little sling”. Not a “slingshot” that kids play with, but a “sling” that could launch fist sized rocks at 200+ mph and accurately hit targets over 1000 feet away. Goliath with his spear and sword may well have been the first person in the historical record to have brought a knife to a gun fight. David even killed both a bear and a lion with his sling. No lions or bears in the whole area today. Don’t spread that one around, the alarmists will claim it was climate change and start citing the bible.
Anyway, thanks for the additional detail. Goldstein has more going for him than I thought, but he’s going to need a plane that he can park on the tarmac next to the DOJ for an impromptu meeting to have any hope of prevailing.
+1000 Janice. Brilliant! 🙂
Aw, A.D.. Thank you!
He’s certainly adding his name. That in itself has some value.
This looks like a Don Quixote fishing tri aboard the USS Showboat.
he’s making paper.
it becomes a matter of record.
that is step 1.
chat is just chat
individuals running the exxon show are being defensive.
it’s as if they think they’ll avoid a beating if they simply tuck and cover. there is no trace of courage in exxon’s show – nothing to admire and nothing to inspire. they are insipid.
l.g. makes a counteroffensive. he’s made counter-accusations of rico violations.
he’s smarter than exxon just for that, no?
You know, if one person, just one person, does it, they may think he’s
Really sick and they won’t take him.
And if two people do it, in harmony, they may think they’re both faggots and
They won’t take either of them.
And if three people do it! Can you imagine three people walkin’ in, singin’
A bar of “Alice’s Restaurant” and walkin’ out? They may think it’s an
Organization!
And can you imagine fifty people a day? I said FIFTY people a day . . .
Walkin’ in, singin’ a bar of “Alice’s Restaurant” and walkin’ out? Friends,
They may think it’s a MOVEMENT
Mr. Goldstein, this is for you:

God bless you for trying.

Three cheers for you, Janice. Very well set out.
NOW – let (proper) justice be done.
Thanks, Luc!
Janice, you have made this a fantastic thread. Mr Goldstein is daring to do what his detractors are too timid to do. Someone has to start. This is a very welcome story to me and no doubt to many, and your comments here are hugely insightful. Thank you.
Ceres is mentioned in your motion.

Leo,
I have read your documents carefully.
Best of luck and I hope you find a sympathetic judge.
” . General
Business Law prohibits such increase in costs of essential items like food, water, gas, generators, batteries and flashlights,
and services like transportation, during natural disasters or other events that disrupt the market.”
Just wondering if AGW and the banning of fossil fuel and the close down of thermal generating plants etc would qualify as an event(s) that disrupts the market.
Do you think I should write to Mr Scniderman?
Cheers
Roger
If Exxon puts on it’s big boy pants Scniderman and the people he fronts are toast . But more important was
the Scniderman / Gore little clique of AG’s mistake of going after others who won’t be doing a sue/settle .
Can’t wait to see the Creepy Climate Clowns in court . It’s about time .
🙂
creepy climate clowns!
nice one
Maybe Exxon is waiting for the outcome of the election?

And let us not forget that Russia has been accused of bankrolling Greenpeace and other Euro Green groups, to instigate anti- fracking campaigns. They are no doubt involved in such Green mischief on these shores, as well.
