Maru

... System Observers because ...
unwatched systems tend towards abuse,
watched systems towards accountability

-- JAFO = Just Another F--king Observer
(someone there to watch but who is unwelcome to those being watched).

-- MARU, either a Ship or Circle in Japanese.
Also, an unwinnable situation that was won by resetting the rules
by Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek: The Original Series (Kobayashi Maru).

-- We have seen many judicial tricks and have determined
a little focused attention might remove some friction from the legal system for those who represent themselves.

-- We seek to collect up procedural tricks
of the judicial trade in a place where
the self represented can research before they get screwed.

-- We also think observers at key junctures could
make the life of the self represented more manageable.

-- A nacent organization to
provide information on,
and opposition to,
judges up for re-election
if those judges
have the habit of
ignoring the law and their oaths.

-- Lawyers
and
Judges
and
Referees

sometimes fall on the dark side.

-- ALLICANSTANDS documents their fall.

Shining a teeny tiny flashlight on a few bad apple lawyers.

Journalism ain't what it used to be

A years late followup
to some heated discussions
about the future of journalism.

Which led to a process diagram
sketched on the back of an envelope
that was promptly ignored for years.

Then a media echo chamber of silliness
effectively cauterized a Democratic leaning populace
into a zombie-like apathy at the polls.

Not only must objective critical analysis occur
(whether or not we call it journalism),
that work needs to be given
a fertile and sustainable soil from which to spring.

The Growler is that soil.

-- We are documenting a decade of malfeasance with commentary.
