The Oregon Observer
November 1998 - Vol.4 No.11
by Observer Editor Paul Kraxberger

On October 16, 1998 a complaint for Racketeering was filed in the Marion County Courthouse which named in part, Governor John Kitzhaber, Chief Justice Wallace Carson Jr. and Oregon's Attorney General, Hardy Meyers as defendants.

The plaintiffs in the case are Wilbur Russell Gaston and Pamela Gaston of Mt. Angel, Oregon.

In the Gaston's first trial The Oregon Observer reported that a jury in Marion County, Oregon had returned not guilty verdicts against the Gastons and in so doing found (according to the presiding jury instructions) that certain judges and others were involved in a conspiracy to deprive the Gastons of their constitutional rights.

Needless to say, Oregon's very troubled court system (a fact which Chief Justice Wallace Carson Jr. admitted to some five years ago to this writer and others in a closed meeting and a fact which Oregon's socialist Governor John Kitzhaber has been informed of time and time again) has decided to "get" the Gastons because to let justice prevail would be to expose our system to some much needed and long overdue change.

The following "facts" are stated in the Gaston's complaint:

The Defendants at all times herein mentioned are either civil servants and authorities, public employees or their agents acting under the authority of the State of Oregon. The Defendants are and have been engaged in an ongoing conspiracy to steal children from their parents and either sell the children in the black market or use the children to produce pornographic films for profit. In furtherance of their conspiracy, the Defendants manufactured evidence falsely accusing the Plaintiff Wilbur Gaston of engaging in illicit conduct with his daughter. The purpose in falsely manufacturing the evidence and accusing the Plaintiff was to enable the Defendants to acquire custody of Melissa Gaston and to sell her for profit in the black market or use her for producing pornographic films for profit by the Defendants. The conduct of the defendants constitutes a pattern of racketeering activity that has the same or similar intent, results, victims and methods of commission and is interrelated by distinguishing characteristics including a nexus to the same enterprises of selling children on the black market or using them in the production of pornographic films and these are not isolated instances.

A jury has established that named judges are involved in a conspiracy along with authorities and agencies of the state as named to conceal public knowledge of stated criminal activities of named individuals and that there is an ongoing and escalating retaliation being enacted against Wilbur and Pamela Gaston. These named authorities, agencies and courts are blatantly acting under color of law to deprive the Gaston family of the constitutional rights and civil rights of due process in the Gaston's efforts to end this attack by the state and force the SOSCF to rightfully return Melissa Gaston to her family.

The named authorities and agents and courts have utterly failed to investigate charges of criminal acts by the state and all facts stated herein are now sworn testimony in court records and all facts, without exception, are undisputed. Wherefore, Wilbur Russell Gaston and Pamela K. Gaston pray for relief as follows:

1. An order immediately terminating Melissa Gaston (Maxwell/Phillips) status as a ward of the court and awarding sole custody of her to Plaintiff Wilbur R. Gaston, father, permanently, reconfirming the termination of parental rights from 1991 of Connie Maxwell for sexual abuse and neglect of six children, including Melissa.

2. Dismissal of all warrants, petitions and restraining orders relating to the Gaston family and Melissa Gaston and Pamela Gaston's son, Kevin Meziere.

3. General Damages in the amount of $100,000,000.00.

4. Special Damages in the amount of $13,000.00.

5. Treble Damages pursuant to ORS 165.725 (7) in the amount of $3,000,039,000.00.

6. Court costs and all reasonable attorney fees at trial and in the appellate courts, together with all costs of investigation and litigation reasonably incurred by Plaintiff herein, pursuant to ORS 166.725 (7) (a).

7. Punitive Damages pursuant to ORS 166.725 in the amount of $100,000,000.00.
