Hearing
Set for July 3rd

http://www.mujca.com/cookhearing.htm

Mike Cook is a nice guy who has been going through an ordeal that
would
boggle the imaginations of Orwell and Kafka. Please consider showing
up
in Covington, KY July 3rd for the medication hearing. The more folks
who
show up, the more obvious it is that Mike isn't the only one who holds
these views. If even a small fraction of the 100 million Americans who
think 9/11 was an inside job descended on Covington, we might get some
very interesting major media coverage. (The corporate media likes to
report 9/11 stories that include a "truthers are crazy" angle, and
this
is one that might be too tempting for them to resist, but could easily
backfire on them.)

Email from Karl Pavloff:

Michael Cook's court hearing on whether the government can forcibly
medicate Mike with antipsychotics (because he thinks '9/11 was an
inside
job') is coming up on July 3 in Covington, KY. I plan on taking off
work
that day to stand outside of the courthouse holding a 9/11 Truth sign
and handing out flyers and dvds. You are all welcome to join me if you
can. The more 9/11 Truth presence the better. I have been in email
contact with Alfons from Veterans For 9/11 Truth (www.v911t.org
<http://www.v911t.org/> ) and he is also trying to get people to
appear
outside of the courthouse on July 3.

Here's the latest news on Mike's case: (also posted on
www.911blogger.com <http://www.911blogger.com/> )

A friend of mine here in the Cincinnati area was sent (involuntarily)
to
a psychiatric ward because he believes 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB! After
that he was arrested for possession of firearms (he had previously
owned) which is illegal if you have been sent to a psychiatric ward. A
CATCH-22. So Michael has been in prison from November 2006 and there
he
remains. The psychologists and psychriatrists at the Federal Medical
Center where he is being held want to force Michael to take
antipsychotic drugs for his 'views' and in order to stand trial.
Problem
is... Mike Cook is NOT mentally ill. He is being railroaded to prison
based on judicial ignorance and incompetence.

The memorandum below was filed by Michael Cook's attorney on May 14,
2007. Michael is scheduled for a hearing on July 3, 2007 at 9:30 in
the
United States District Court Eastern District Of Kentucky. Michael
will
be present at the Kentucky hearing via video conferencing from his
detention facility in Butner, North Carolina FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTER!!!

HERE'S WHAT MICHAEL COOK'S ATTORNEY SAYS ABOUT MIKE:

MEMORANDUM

The Government has moved the Court to order the involuntary
administration of antipsychotic medications to Michael Cook in an
attempt to restore him to competency to stand trial. The record does
not
include any allegation that Michael is a danger to himself or others.
To
the contrary, the April 16, 2007 report provide to the Court by Drs.
Cochrane and Herbal states that Michael resided in an open mental
health
unit, quickly adjusted to the routine, was never observed becoming
confused or disoriented, was behaviorally stable, never exhibited any
bizarre or disruptive behavior, did not violate any institutional
rules,
was never observed responding to internal stimuli (i.e.
hallucinations),
was routinely observed reading, socializing with his peers, and
engaging
in activities on the unit without incident. (April 26, 2007 Report of
Drs. Cochrane and Herbal, page 4, 1st full paragraph). Michael simply
maintains a view of certain historical events that is different from
the
majority of people. However, there are many books, articles, internet
sites, DVD's, CDs, and movies that appear to indicate that Michael is
not the only person that maintains this particular view. Other than
this
particular viewpoint, there does not appear to be any evidence of
record
that Michael is suffering from a mental illness.

The indictment in this matter alleges the mere possession of certain
firearms. The types of firearms set forth in the indictment are the
type
normally possessed by individuals for sporting and collecting
purposes.
There are no allegations of any use of the firearms by Michael. The
issue in this case is whether Michael should be forced to take
medication against his will solely in an attempt to restore him
competency to stand trial.

Michael Cook, through counsel respectfully requests the Court to deny
the Government's Motion. Alternatively, an evidentiary hearing to
address the the factors established in Sell v. United States, 539 U.S.
166, 179 (2003) is requested.
