Fugitive of Innocence: The Schizophrenic Mind-Frame of the United States Army.

"Americans came to liberate, not to conquer; to restore freedom and to end tyranny."
—  National World War II Memorial.
"You are like salt for the whole human race. But if salt loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. It has become worthless, so it is thrown out and people trample on it."
—  Matthew 5: 13. (GNT.)
"It is true that we live in the world, but we do not fight from worldly motives. The weapons we use in our fight are not the world's weapons but God's powerful weapons, which we use to destroy strongholds. We destroy false arguments; we pull down every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God...."
— 2 Corinthians 10: 3—5. (GNT.)
My Story: An Example and a Brewing Scandal:
I am a fugitive of innocence running from the most powerful army known to human civilization: the mighty United States Army. I committed no crime in the civilian world (or in my civilian life) and violated not an iota of the codices that is the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Since becoming a commissioned officer, in August 22, 2005, I have strived only towards but the best qualities (both physical and mental) and highest ethics expected of a commissioned officer in the United States Army. I was instructed in, and expected to uphold, the following virtues: integrity, loyalty, selfless sacrifice, mental and physical toughness, and (most importantly) to stand as a guardian of the Constitution of the United States of America (Constitution); it was drilled into me to oppose all oppositions to the Constitution, foreign and domestic, including disobeying all military orders subverting the Constitution. These virtues were exemplarily displayed by the soldiers of the New Jersey Army National Guard (NJANG), and more specifically, by the non-commissioned officers and commissioned officers of the NJANG Medical Command based at Sea Girt, New Jersey, whose commander was Col. Debra Burr.
In May 2008, I transferred to the USAR as a captain and continued along the rigorous path of mental, physical, and high-ethics instilled in me by the troops of the NJANG. Nevertheless, on July 8, 2011, while in my military uniform and in the course of discharging my duties as a commissioned officer of the USAR within the continental United States, my military superiors in the USAR unilaterally (and without recourse to the Justice Advocate General [JAG]) concluded I was guilty of high-treason. The USAR then deemed me "a threat" to national security and designated me the "sacrificial-lamb" to be offered on their altar of disjointed mental health policies, as an offering to the "gods," who are bona-fide enemies (the domestic type) of the Constitution and of the people of the United States. Consequently, since July 8, 2011, I became a pariah within the USAR; I was turned into a fugitive, by my own, my fellow soldiers and by the proverbial "military complex."
The offense for which I was turned into a fugitive is three fold:
  1. Possessing a strong faith in the institution of the United States Army, with an unflinching belief that the United States Army was true to its publicly espoused ideals and principles.
  2. Being moved by the plight of the unending psychological and emotional trauma besetting my fellow comrades returning from the theater of war.
  3. Being deeply touched by the devastating and monumental wreckage that results when my fellow soldiers resort to the act of suicide to gain a reprieve of their emotional and psychological wounds, inflicted on them on account of their selfless service to the great United States of America; this indeed is a double jeopardy because not only does the United States loose a hero-citizen, fresh and deep wounds are created in the mental angst of loved ones demoralized in the wake of the suicides. To boot, the rate of troopers committing suicides, since the start of the War on Terror, has been greatly accelerating at quite an alarming pace.
Striving to be the best I can be and to be faithful to the United States Soldier's Creed, on July 8 2011, I attended a social gathering of mental health professionals, at the place of my civilian employment (Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Washington University School of Medicine [BJH/WUSM]), wearing my United States Army ACUs. My primary mission in attending this event was recruit fellow mental health professionals to join the USAR Medical Corp; this "mission" was all the more urgent given the acute shortage of mental health professionals within the United States Army. Many of the attendees at the events were impressed with the range of benefits, opportunities, and flexibility offered to healthcare providers within the USAR and some expressed an interest in exploring the prospect of joining. Feeling extremely proud of being a USAR and that my recruitment activities might bear fruits for the overall good of fellow soldiers, I took leave from the event and went directly my outpatient clinic office. The series of events that transpired afterwards are well detailed elsewhere on this blog.
For my services to the USAR, I was viciously attacked and trampled on, while still in my ACUs. I was forcefully subjected to three psychiatric evaluations, in the terrible dehumanizing conditions. I was labeled and treated as a terrorist, with subsequent intense scrutiny by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I was falsely accused of criminally trespassing at the location of my civilian employment, even though I was still legally employed, I still had an unexpired contract, and it was plainly obvious that the criminal charge was bogus. I was accused of assaulting six security officers, even though the video evidence submitted against me unmistakably showed that I was the victim of assault and battery by over 12 security guards.
As of this writing, no criminal charges have been brought against my attackers, not a single charge for the first attack on me while I was in my military uniform (ACUs) and none for the second attack, even though there is a video footage of the attack. Rather, the USAR knowingly colluded with the enemies of the Constitution and forced my family and I to endure six long months of carefully calculated systematic psychological, emotional, and financial brutalization and bullying at the hands of a puppet-of-a- state: the inglorious State of Missouri. This puppet-of-a- state and their evil-twin (the machavalient entity: the City of Saint Louis), devoid of an internal awareness of integrity, empathy, or a higher-knowledge of the purpose of their existences, are still engaged in a callous pursuit to criminalize me. And at all cost, even at the high-cost of the integrity of the United States Army, the symbolism of America to the world-at-large (which is freedom, justice, and liberty), and the spirit behind the framing of the Constitution.
That these twin-evil entities are indeed domestic enemies of the Constitution is borne by their blatant and unpatriotic abuse of power in February 2012, when officers of the Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD) vandalized my home and forcefully confiscated all my digital computing devices therein. The barbaric and dastardly acts of the SLMPD officers were really a slight- of-hand trick to masquerade the true intentions of City of Saint Louis and the State of Missouri: a further attempt at continued character assassination. For the justification tendered by SLMPD officers for their cowardly actions—breaking and entering into my home, invasion of my constitutionally-guaranteed privacy and space, terrorizing my elderly parents-in-laws and subjecting them to psychological trauma, and pointing loaded guns at my infant son—is: an ongoing "investigation" into the possession and distribution child-pornographic materials. Furthermore, since holding on to my digital devices for over 5 months and failing to turnover a single-thread of evidence, the machavalient City of Saint Louis is still demanding to hold onto them for an additional 18 months. The most painful part in all this (when the totality of my experiences are viewed as a composite whole), is the tactic and implied support these twin- enemies of the Constitution enjoy from the United States Army.
The Evil within the United States Army:
Returning to the subject of the USAR, as the painful scenarios above unfolded, I desperately reached out to the USAR for assistance; I was met with a stone-cold wall of deafening silence, which betrayed all the high and lofty ideals that the NJANG instilled in me and made me believe about the United States Army as a whole. For my rational mind could not fathom how the United States Army could deliberately and purposefully choose to pay no attention to the fact that one of their commissioned military officers was unashamedly and maliciously attacked on the continental soil while in the course of the discharge of his military duties and while wearing official military attire.
Further damaging (and showing implicit complicity of the United States Army in my ongoing ordeal) was my Unit Commander's (Col. Pamela Y. Delancy) threatening comment to me that she would get me administratively discharged for having "too many personal issues."
Col. Pamela Y. Delancy's comments to me could not have been uttered at the worst possible time. For her flagrant statements came within days of SLMPD officers invasion and armed robbery of my home in Saint Louis, MO. All the more ironic was that Col. Pamela Y. Delancy's cold and unsympathetic statement regarding my ongoing public humiliation and persecution (which she dubbed "personal issues") were the "paybacks and accolades" I received for my innocent, lawful, patriotic acts in trying to recruit desperately needed mental-health providers into the USAR. That is, in my honest attempt to recruit medical professionals into the USAR (while on domestic soil) so as to assist the overwhelming veterans afflicted with PTSDs, closed-head injuries, and TBIs, the United States Army fully certified and signed my "death warrant" at the hands of the State of Missouri and the City of Saint Louis. And in seeing that the actions the twin-evil entities might not be sufficient to "do the job," the United States Army abandoned their implicit and passive participation in my trump-up crucifixion and execution. The almighty United States Army joined the foray of the twin-evil and began actively looking for ways to adjudge me mentally insane and to dishonorably (and disgracefully) discharge me from military service.
My suspicions of the United States Army were later confirmed when, after filing a complaint about Col. Pamela Y. Delancy's statements (and her other active "inactions") with the USAR IG, asking for the IG's intervention, the USAR IG clumsily and woefully failed to uphold their own espoused standards of fairness and neutrality, in the execution of their assigned role. They went further, committing sacrilege in the process, in their apparent attempt to bury the truth behind my compliant and thereby pervert the course of justice. That is, as judged by their actions, they seized every opportunity they had in trying to portray me as the guilty party; they went all-out to protect Col. Pamela Y. Delancy. In the wake of the failure of their ungodly scheme, they resorted to the pen-ultimate showstopper: they demanded the resignation of my commission to the USAR. As demanded, and to spare my family and I further emotional anguish, I obliged the request the United States Army and tendered my unconditional resignation from the USAR.
The Last Acts of a Dying Wounded Warrior:
Nevertheless, in my last act of being an American soldier, which calls for being "a guardian of freedom and the American way of life" (even at the peril of my own life, liberty, and freedom), I am releasing the recording of my conversation with the USAR IG. This recording took place on or about May 10, 2012—a full 8 weeks after the initial submission of my action request to the USAR IG. I reserve my comments regarding the impartiality of the officer assigned to handle my compliant so as to allow for an unbiased listening.
In the Unlikely Event of my "Mysterious" Disappearance or the "Sudden" Onset of Insanity:
Fellow citizens of the United States, please let it be known that I was a proud American citizen-soldier, the product of true and loyal military officers within the NJANG; that I cared for my fellow soldiers (fellow Americans and brave citizen-soldiers); and that I gladly paid the ultimate sacrifice, as required by my military oath, in the defense of the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, domestic and foreign.
May God bless the United States of America!
United States Soldier's Creed:
  • I am an American Soldier.
  • I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.
  • I will never accept defeat.
  • I will never quit.
  • I will never leave a fallen comrade.
  • I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.
  • I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.
  • I am an expert and I am a professional.
  • I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.
  • I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
  • I am an American Soldier.

The United States Army Connection. An Improper Referral for Mental Health Evaluation

...The Lord who created you says, "Do not be afraid - I will save you. I have called you by name - you are mine. When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you. When you pass through fire, you will not be burned; the hard trials that come will not hurt you. For I am the Lord your God, the holy God of Israel, who saves you."
- Isaiah 43: 1 - 3 (GNT)
I initially submitted this write-up to the Office of the Inspector General of United States Army Reserve (OIG USAR) on 03/01/2012. However, when I followed about 2 weeks later, requesting a status update of my submitted complaint, the OIG USAR claimed they didn't receive my complaint. Consequently, I had to resubmit the complaint, again, on March 13, 2012.
My commander, Col. Pamela Y. Delancy, broke all rules regarding a command-directed mental health evaluation. I submitted all materials to the USAR IG for an investigation and rather than the US Army investigating the issue, I am being forced to resign my commission as an officer in the United States Army Reserves.
Submitted to:
Office of the Inspector General
United States Army Reserve Command
Fort Bragg, NC 28310
The following is the body of my write-up accompanying the DA Form 1559 I submitted; other supporting materials are attached at the end of this post.
Synopsis:
My family and I have been subjected (and are still undergoing) undue and unnecessary spiritual, emotional, and financial hardships, wholly as a result of my USAR affiliation and in trying to discharge my military obligations.
Since July 2011, after engaging in a civil, lawful, and successful USAR recruitment effort at a retirement party at my civilian workplace [Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Washington University School of Medicine (BJH/WUSM) in Saint Louis, MO] and in an attempt to help our countless troops suffering from TBI and PTSD, I was subjected to the following at the hands of BJH Security Personnel:
  • Viciously attacked twice,
  • My personal properties confiscated
  • Forced to endure 3 psychiatric evaluations at 3 different hospitals within a period of 24 hours in dehumanizing conditions Jailed for 2 days
  • Reported as a terrorist to the FBI, and
  • Maliciously prosecuted for 6 months.
Throughout this ongoing ordeal, and despite keeping my Military Unit (Unit) and Commander abreast of all developments, I was never provided with any military leadership, counseling, guidance, or legal advice. However, after surmounting difficult hurdles and displaying the warrior ethos and professionalism expected of USAR officers, I was subjected to:
  • 1. Improper referral for mental health evaluation.
  • 2. Improper election to pursue involuntary discharge proceedings to have me discharged from the USAR.
  • 3. Violations of the Army’s professional ethic.
I was subjected to the preceding abuse, which could have severe negative consequences on my military and medical careers, due to the actions of my Unit Commander: Col. Pamela Y. Delancy. Consequently, I am filing this Action Request for an investigation into these issues and assistance in their resolution.
Background Information:
I had been a psychiatry resident-physician BJH/WUSM since June 2008. Over the course of my residency, BJH/WUSM created a hostile work environment for me due to my military affiliation, and this eventually culminated in my filing a formal administrative complaint with BJH/WUSM's Human Resources and the EEOC in May 2011.
On July 8, 2011, while the complaint with BJH/WUSM’s HR and EEOC was still under investigation (I was a third-year resident at this point), I went to BJH/WUSM to attend to routine administrative tasks in my clinic office and to attend a colleague’s retirement party.
At the retirement party, I wore my ACUs and engaged in recruitment activities for the US Army Reserves, as I had previously done on numerous occasions in the past. My recruitment activities have always being prompted due to the acute shortage of behavioral/mental health providers in the US Army in particular and the US Military in general. My recruitment activities were civil, lawful, and successful.
After attending the party and while I was seated calmly in my clinic office, BJH Security Personnel, under the immediate direction and supervision of a BJH HR Manager, burst into my office and beat me savagely.
In addition to the being beaten, during which I suffered intermittent loss of consciousness and severe chest pains, I was stripped of my ACUs and my military boots, forcefully and painfully. Furthermore, I was handcuffed, my legs shackled, and I was forcefully transported to John Cochrane VA Hospital, Saint Louis, MO for “further psychiatric evaluation”; in essence, BJH was looking for ways to psychiatrically commit me.
BJH transported me to John Cochrane VA Hospital against my will, in spite of the acute injuries BJH Security Personnel inflicted on me, and my pleadings to be taken to the BJH Emergency Department, which was two flights below my clinic office. When no psychiatrist would diagnose me with a mental disorder (because I had none and no history therefore), I was released from the emergency department.
On July 9, 2011, I went back to BJH to retrieve my personal properties, which was unlawfully seized and withheld by BJH Security the day before. When I was told that my properties will not be released, I proceeded to leave the hospital immediately. Unknown to me, however, BJH Security Personnel were tracking me with their surveillance camera, while I was on their premises. BJH Security Personnel proceeded to intercept me, and, once again, they severely beat me up. (Please see the video clip link in the email.) As indicated on the video, I was unarmed and posed no threat to any person or property.
After beating me up for the second time, BJH/WUSM went for another psychiatrist shopping spree, and this time they took me to St. Alexius hospital (in Saint Louis, MO) for a third psychiatric evaluation. When St. Alexius Hospital found nothing wrong with me, BJH/WUSM then charged me with assaulting about 6 - 8 of BJH Security Officers and with First Degree Criminal Trespass. I was consequently arrested and jailed for 2 days; my pregnant wife had to post a bond for me to get out of jail. This was the first time in my life I was ever arrested.
Furthermore, BJH/WUSM falsely reported me to the FBI that I am a terrorist with links to Osama bin Laden and that I worship the Fort Hood alleged shooter, Major Hassan, and consider him my hero. None of these malicious and false allegations are true, and after extensive investigation, the FBI could not find anything to substantiate or justify the allegations by BJH/WUSM; I was cleared of the charges.
Since the beginning of my ordeal with BJH/WUSM in July 2011, I had made every effort to keep my Unit informed of all developments and solicited for some form of leadership, guidance, and assistance, especially given that I was viciously attacked while in military uniform. Sadly, my Unit was largely unresponsive and would not even help me get in touch with JAG or provide any legal assistance. (Please refer to the series of emails attached.)
During the intervening period from July 2011 till February 2012, I made numerous phone calls and several travel trips (at my own expense) to various military installations, all for the sake of obtaining some form of legal guidance/advice from the USAR. In the pursuit of obtaining military legal advice and guidance, in late November 2011 (about a week after the birth of my first child) I traveled from Saint Louis, MO to The USAR Legal Command in Gaithersburg, MD.
While at The USAR Legal Command, I spoke with CW2 Harold A. Pramekamol, who was quite empathic, supportive, and tried to point me in the right direction to get help. Needless to say, everywhere I turned in the US Army for help, I was consistently asked if I have contacted my Unit and made them aware of my ongoing ordeal. I was further informed that my Unit should be able to provide me with all the resources I am seeking, including access to JAG and legal services.
Nevertheless, the warrior in me pressed ahead and on December 6, 2011, the First Degree Criminal Trespass Charge, falsely and maliciously brought against me by BJH/WUSM, was dismissed with prejudice and the arrest record generated thereof was expunged. The criminal case against me was dismissed due to BJH/WUSM personnel refusal to submit to depositions by my Attorney. I informed my Unit (and, specifically, Col. Delancy, my Unit Commander) about this development the same month: December 2011. Furthermore, when I and my civilian attorneys filed a civil lawsuit against BJH/WUSM (on January 25th, 2012), I also took the initiative of informing my Unit and Col. Delancy.
In January 2012, Col. Pamela Y. Delancy informed me that I would have to undergo a mental health evaluation (MHE) as a condition of maintaining my commission in the USAR. She further stated that the basis of her decision to subject me to the MHE were the allegations made by BJH/WUSM. I could not understand her rationale for insisting on the MHE, given all the information I had voluntarily shared with the Unit and her, which clearly demonstrated the malicious intent behind the actions of BJH/WUSM concerning me.
I further informed Col. Pamela Y. Delancy of my having undergone 4 full psychiatric evaluations, in the aftermath of BJH/WUSM’s false allegations about and against me, and that no psychopathology (other than expected signs of stress) was ever uncovered in any of the evaluations. Nevertheless, she still insisted that I am to submit to MHE.
Out of respect for Col. Pamela Y. Delancy, as both a military superior officer and my immediate Commander, I agreed (in principle) to submit to the MHE but with the caveat that it not be performed inside the State of Missouri (MO) but preferably somewhere in the North-Eastern US. I should add that at no point in time in all my interactions with my Unit or Col. Pamela Y. Delancy about the issue of MHE was I informed, or advised, about my rights; rather I was unnecessarily threatened and subjected to psychological trauma and abuse by being told that I should “be aware that for this initial evaluation you will either have to go to the appointment on your own or be escorted to your appointment.” (Please see attached documentations.)
In my last communication with Col. Pamela Y. Delancy on Feb. 22 2012, she further exposed me to undue psychological and emotional stress by asserting that due to my not submitting to a MHE in MO and to my ongoing numerous "personal issues," she would proceed to pursue involuntary discharge proceedings to have me discharged from the USAR. I enquired as to my rights regarding her unilateral decision to initiate involuntary discharge proceedings against me from the USAR; she provided no information and appeared largely pejorative in her response.
In light of all that has transpired and has documented herein, I am hereby appealing to the USAR IG for assistance and support in resolving these issues.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in these matters.

Mr. Benzel:
Good morning.
I am writing, once again, humbly requesting that you do not dismiss my USERRA case (MO-2011-00025-10-R and ESGR case file number 1125287), without doing some basic investigative work and at least talking to some witnesses.
I find it quite disconcerting how you went from being initially reassuring and hope-inspiring to demanding that I need to "prove my case" and provide a "prima facie" before you can begin any form of investigation, about 5 days later. You also indicated that my case might have "expired" due to a "latch principle" that requires one to act within a certain period of time after an initial discriminatory act.
Furthermore, the manner in which our conversation ended, was spirit-shattering and left me drained of energy, hope, and inspiration. It almost appears that I would not obtain justice or any measure of reprieve from the ongoing military discrimination I'm facing. At our conversation's end, you were blunt and forceful, demanding that I send an email to you requesting that the case be closed or that you will "dismiss it for lack of merit."
Sir, you were my last hope of getting someone to look into this issue. I had canvassed all over for help but it appears no one is interested. I contacted my reserve unit but they politely indicated they cannot offer legal assistance; I reached out to the Judge Advocate General of the US Army and they informed me that they only help active troops and referred me to ESGR, who initially offered some rays of hope and sprung to action.
Unfortunately, ESGR was rudely brushed off and given no audience by both Washington University in Saint Louis (Wash U) and Barnes-Jewish Hospital (BJH.) Per the ESGR contact person, the documents that I had provided to him clearly demonstrated discriminative actions on the part of Wash U and BJH; he advised promptly contacting DOL, hence my opening this case.
I had provided you with the same information, which you initially noted as indicative of some discriminatory practices based on my military affiliation, and you outlined some initial steps you will take to minimize the effects of the discriminatory practices on my person. Sir, to say the least, you were a breath of fresh air and a long-sought relief to a weary soul, that day. However, within the space of a few days, everything evaporated! You didn't even make the initial trip to Saint Louis as you had initially stated.
Sir, currently, I am at my wits end. I have been staying "Army Strong" for over 5 months while battling intense overt and covert discriminative actions by Drs Faber and Harbit (both of Wash U Psychiatry Department) and BJH, due to my military affiliation. I should point out that all throughout this period I still provided full psychiatric care for my patients; and I do not want to be denied the right to faithfully and effectively serve as a board-eligible psychiatrist in the United States Army Medical Corp.
However, Sir, I am only human and I'm tired and weary. I am still trying to find someone to at least look into this issue but I'm fast losing hope.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Alade, Oladimeji D.O, MS

Mr. Benzel:
How are things at your end? Hope all is well.
I am writing to follow up on our conversation on Friday, May 27, 2011.
After you initially played the devil's advocate to ascertain the merits, surrounding circumstances, and the current situation (all in reference to USERRA claim: MO-2011-00025-10-R, filed on 05/24/2011 08:39:35 PM ET and opened on 05/25/2011 09:58:20 AM ET), you indicated the following:
  • The case would be investigated, to determine how my forced and unlawful resignation is related to my military service.
  • I indicated that ESGR [contact person: Mr. Fred Carpenter, cell #: 618.975.4128, email: ricohearn@yahoo.com] had tried to intervene but were brushed off by the Barnes-Jewish Hospital's (BJH)Legal Counsel.
  • I also provided you with the statement of Mr Carpenter, who indicated that BJH's Legal Counsel (Counsel) stated that they've "been working on this for over a year."
  • Mr. Carpenter indicated he will document his conversation with the Counsel, and his other numerous failed attempts at engaging BJH in a dialog, in my ESGR case file: case number 1125287.
  • I believe the "this" in the Counsel's quote above refers to my person. I also find it quite disconcerting that the Counsel knew about me, specifically, for "over a year" with no known justifiable cause and without my foreknowledge. All these, in my mind, indicate a concerted effort by Drs Farber and Harbit, Washington University in Saint Louis (Wash U) Department of Psychiatry, and BJH to knowingly prevent the completion of my psychiatry residency due, in part, to my military background and affiliation.
  • However, given the acute and urgent needs of the US Army, especially during this era of heightened and prolonged military engagement and mobilization and the acute national shortage of board eligible psychiatrists in general, I believe the non-completion of my psychiatry residency will not be to the benefit of US Army, God, or Country and might harm the capacity of the US Army to provide effective psychiatric care to her soldiers.
  • You further stated that, given typical arduous task of investigating discrimination cases, you would have to bring in an extra investigator to assist with the process.
  • You informed me that, should the first 90 days after the claim filing be inadequate to fully investigate my claim, you would request additional time from me to continue with the investigation; I agreed.
  • Referring to the urgent and pending issue of BJH preventing the completion of my residency training, you stated that one of your first courses of action will be "set aside" my forced and illegally obtained resignation, so as to reduce the impact of the BJH discriminatory act on my person.
  • You requested that I refrain from discussing the case with any of the employees or people that could serve as potential witnesses, so as not to allow for actions that might further complicate the investigative process.
  • You also noted that one of your first acts would to contact BJH and obtain their point of view to determine whether they will be cooperative with the investigation and that you will subsequently make trips down to BJH to interview potential witnesses.
As I indicated in my last email, I am still waiting for a response from you, giving the ongoing and accelerated actions and efforts of Drs Farber and Harbit, Wash U Department of Psychiatry, and BJH to truncate the completion of my residency training. For example, and as indicated in the email I sent to you, I have been informed to begin the process of winding up my residency at the Psychiatry Department. I should add that the actions of the afore mentioned individuals and institution is in no way based on my clinical competency either as a physician or as a psychiatry residency trainee.
Also, as we had initially discussed, the chief evidence I have for the ongoing military discrimination against my person, is the email I have forwarded to you. I was literally embarrassed, berated, and called "unprofessional" for requesting for some time off for military service. Furthermore, not only was I subjected to punitive actions for my request, I had endeavored to provide over 31 days advanced notice of my absence.
I have also informed you that, prior to my request for military leave, I had no issues with Drs Farber and Harbit, Wash U Department of Psychiatry, or BJH. However, ever since initiating the military request, one of the very first discriminative acts was that I had to provide and document steps I have taken to ensure my military obligations will in no way interfere with my residency training. Needless to say, since that time, I have been subjected to increased discriminative actions and statements, which ultimately culminated in Drs Farber and Harbit forcefully and threateningly demanding my resignation from the residency program.
Prior to contacting ESGR, I had canvassed the entire psychiatry department but no one would come to my aid. I even pleaded with the Chairman of the department, Dr. Charles Zuromski, for his respectful intervention, and almost had an emotional breakdown in his presence, but it was to no avail.
I am almost at my wits end, for I've been trying to seek some measure of justice since Feb 2011, while still taking care of my patients and attending to my clinical obligations and responsibilities.
At this juncture, I'm humbly requesting your speedy intervention. I will like to continue my residency so as to become a board eligible psychiatrist and to serve God and Country through my service in the United States Army.
Thank you.
Sincerely
Alade, Oladimeji D.O, MS

My Prosecution in the State of Missouri: An Adversarial Analysis

The scripture says, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and set aside the understanding of the scholars." So then, where does that leave the wise? Or the scholars? Or the skillful debaters of this world? God has shown that this world's wisdom is foolishness!
– First Corinthians 1: 19 – 20. (GNT)

God purposely chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise, and he chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful. He chose what the world looks down on and despises and thinks is nothing, in order to destroy what the world thinks is important.
– First Corinthians 1: 27 – 28. (GNT)

An ear, quick to hear; a mind, rational and objective; and a heart, empathic and accommodating.

Anniversary recap.
July 8 and 9, 2012, mark a full year since being attacked by Barnes Jewish Hospital/Washington University School of Medicine (BJH/WUSM) Security Personnel. These attacks happened despite of my calm and non-threatening postures on both occasions; the first attack was while I was seated inside my clinic office at the Wohl Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic, and the second, while I was seated on the ground (on the BJH hospital grounds) with my hands up in the air. BJH/WUSM’s security cameras captured the second attack and it can be seen in its entirety at:


The most salient points about both attacks is that, time of occurrence, I was an employee of BJH and undergoing academic training at WUSM. I was a third year (PGY-3) psychiatric resident at BJH/WUSM; I had performed three years of clinical residency training at these institutions. Also, oddly enough, the same set of individuals who carried out the first attack carried out the second one, within a twenty-four hour time period. Needless to say, I personally knew some of the security guards who attacked me, having exchanged casual greetings during my years of clinical training at BJH/WUSM.

Regarding the footage of the second attack referenced above, later on during the course of my prosecution by the State of Missouri (State of MO), one of the troubling facts that emerged was that BJH/WUSM presented it to the State of MO, as bonafide evidence that I am guilty of criminally trespassing on BJH/WUSM’s medical campus and of assaulting six of their security staff.

On the State of Missouri’s Prosecutorial Discretion.
The State of MO readily discounted and dismissed the six assault charges alleged by BJH/WUSM. Nevertheless, an air of an incipient and malignant undertone was still palpable in the State of MO criminal justice process, when the state pressed ahead with the criminal trespass charge.

This preceding malignant undertone was all the more made real through the State of MO relentless pursuit of the criminal trespass charge for six months and by the “breaks” they offered me, in exchange for guilty plea. A point to be stressed here is twofold: I was innocent of all charges alleged by BJH/WUSM, all along; and the judicial maxims of “innocent until proven guilty” and “beyond all reasonable doubt” were not initially considered, in the criminal prosecution of my case by the State of MO.

On the State of Missouri’s Prosecutorial Deals and Breaks.
In exchange for a guilty plea to criminal trespassing, the State of MO offered me: one year of probation with active monitoring by a private agency; the strong possibility of having to submit to court-ordered psychiatric treatments during probation; forty hours of community service; and payment of court costs.

The most startling thing about the terms of this offer from the State of MO wasn’t necessarily the psychiatric treatment even though I do not have a history psychiatric treatment or hospitalization, but that BJH/WUSM had no tangible evidence to support their allegations. Consequently, I am uncertain as to what the State of MO based their decision on, in offering the terms they did. For, not only was I not guilty of the criminal trespass charge, it appeared that I had the burden of proving my innocence; an ironic reversal of the known and well-established American criminal justice system. That is, the “burden of proof” was no longer the state’s to carry; my family and I had to bear the full and heavy brunt of it.

The reversal of roles and attitudes by the State of MO is all the more poignant, given the immediately discernible facts of the case, had the any real inquiries been made. For, at the time of the alleged crime, I was a resident-physician at the BJH/WUSM; I still had an unexpired employment contract with BJH/WUSM; and I had been diligently seeing and treating patients at the medical campus for three consecutive years.

On the Subject of Prosecutorial Omission by the State of Missouri.
A curious point is the appearance that the State of MO never considered the possibility of an abuse the criminal justice system by BJH/WUSM. There also is the lingering and unsettling question as to why the State of MO didn’t consider, or explore the options, of bringing assault and battery charges against BJH/WUSM security staff, at least against the individuals captured on the video footage. Additionally, there was an apparent lack of interest by the State of MO in investigating the potential violation of federal laws by BJH/WUSM, given the unabashed and open statements by BJH/WUSM security staff that they attacked me while I was in military uniform.

Also, it seems that in the haste to have me convicted of criminal trespassing, there might have been an oversight by the State of MO in critically looking at all the elements at play in their case against me and the resulting pictorial collage. For it appears to my untrained eyes, in the stitching together of the presenting facts and issues, the not-so-subtle emergence of a possible conspiracy by BJH/WUSM. This cloud of conspiracy further gathers strength in the light of a BJC HealthCare Executive Board member personally and directly supervised the first attack on me; this executive board member is affiliated to the human resource operations " Talent Management" of the entire BJC HealthCare organization.

All the more troubling in my criminal prosecution by the State of MO, which was notably sustained and prolonged, the state was unperturbed by BJH/WUSM’s admission of forcefully transporting me( in dehumanizing conditions and against my will) to three independent hospitals for a purported need to be psychiatrically evaluated. Moreover, the state was relatively unbothered that BJH/WUSM purposefully made false statements to law enforcement authorities and to emergency medical personnel that I have been terminated and that I have a history of schizophrenia and multiple psychiatric hospitalizations.


On the Subversion of Power by BJH/WUSM.
In BJC/WUSM’s tactic and illegal subversion of the instrument and power of the State of MO, in an effort to maliciously commit me to a psychiatric facility, it appears they encountered no definite resistance within the state. Unfortunately, it appears to me, that all state actors inappropriately lined up and followed a crafted script, on cue, at BJH/WUSM’s call. For, judging solely on the authority of my personal experience in Missouri, all safe-guards afforded by the state and its constitution, were virtually non-existent. Rather, the weakness of the powerful citizenry appeared well covered up and protected, while the tiny strength of the weak citizenry was left exposed and directly in the path of devastating power of the State of MO.

The State of MO fails its weak citizenry by not actively preventing, nor proactively protecting, them from victimization, whether real or perceived, by powerful corporate entities. For all allegations of BJH/WUSM against me, can all be easily shown to be false, with little or no effort. BJH/WUSM also asserted that: I assaulted six of their security staff; and that I was a terrorist with links to Osama bin Laden. Based on these maliciously allegations, the Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD) arrested me, detained me, and had me jailed for two days; I was out on bond for six months.

During those six arduous months, I was shackled and fettered to the criminal justice system; my family and I experienced intense emotional and psychological anguish; I had to expend over $40,000.00 (forty thousand dollars) in legal fees to prove I was innocent of a bogus criminal charge.

What did I get after those six long months of criminal prosecution by the State of MO? The state finally dismissed (with prejudice) the criminal trespassing charge and expunged the criminal record BJH/WUSM was deftly crafting me. I rode on the wave of this good fortune and filed a civil lawsuit against BJC Healthcare, BJH, and Dr. Nuri Farber (WUSM’s Psychiatry Residency Program Director) on January 25, 2012. America is looking beautiful once more, as I had always known months before. Finally, I cannot believe it, is that light I am seeing in the distant? No!

The art of silent proxy warfare.
Seven days after filling my civil lawsuit (February 2, 2012), the “righteous indignations” of SLMPD descended on my Saint Louis, MO home, in a raging fury and with guns drawn, literally!
In summarizing the events of February 2, 2012, and wrought by officers of SLMPD, I’ll quote from the letters I have written the Federal Bureau of Intelligence (FBI) and the United States Congress on this issue:

‘On February 2, 2012, SLPD officers forcibly broke into my home at 4103 Olive Street 63108. The officers used an excessive and undue force, not only in entering my home (the door to which they never knocked) but also in the execution of their “search warrant”; they drew guns on my hapless and elderly parent-in-laws, who were taking care of my infant son; and also broke doors of bedrooms, which were unlocked and visibly open. The SLPD police officers claimed that they were performing a “search and seizure” of all my digital and computing devices for an ongoing child-pornography investigation against me.

‘During the raid of my home on 02 Feb 12, some of the SLPD police officers made comments and references regarding my ongoing legal issues with BJH/WUSM. Those comments and the wreck-of-a-home they left in the wake of the execution of their search warrant, strongly suggested to me that there were other overriding sinister and ulterior motives prompting the invasion and destruction of my home; I feel the raid was more of an abuse of judicial process.

‘Furthermore, my suspicion of SLPD police officers’ abuse of the process of law is all the more piqued, given that in both instances wherein my digital and computing devices were forcibly confiscated, SLPD police officers have always been actively involved; they either “looked the other way,” refusing to uphold the Law, or appeared to be but extensions of BJH/WUSM Security Personnel. Also, in both instances, one is left with the eerie feeling that SLPD police officers weren’t being faithful to the oaths of their office. All the more, as I write this, I am still being subjected to continued hardships through the prolonged withholding of my digital and computing devices by SLPD, which includes all my data and their corresponding backups.

‘On the subject of child-pornography, I am not a pedophile. Throughout my nearly two decades of living inside the United States, I have never had any run-ins with Law Enforcement (other than routine traffic tickets), until BJH/WUSM Security Personnel viciously attacked, multiple times. Since the raid on my home, I have, nevertheless, relocated outside of Saint Louis, MO for the safety of my infant son and my young family.

So, there you have it. Since, January 24, 2012, I have been run out of the City of Saint Louis under the threat of demonstrably real violence, using the power of the State. My home was broken into and my civil rights violated by the very people that were supposed to protect me and ensure the Rule of Law are unbiased and uniformly applied. This is quite reminiscent of the way BJH/WUSM went into complete overdrive in their insatiable quest to see me destroyed and completely buried. Perplexing all the more is the utilization of my patriotic service in the US Army and to fellow troopers, as the “perfect” cover to work their “magic”.

Since the unjust and forceful confiscation of my computing devices by SLMPD in February 2012, no tangible evidence that either raises a credible suspicion of child pornography or that justifies the violation and utter disregard of my human and civil rights, by SLMPD has been tendered. Rather, I am being subjected to another round of attempted criminalization, continued economic-means deprivation, and a callously-sustained financial resource bleed. Ladies and gentlemen, I am no legal expert, but it appears that BJH/WUSM has perfected the weaponization of the Criminal Justice System. Meticulously and craftily, BJH/WUSM seems to have discovered an apparently innocuous way of turning the common-good into a public enemy. Please be advised that if BJH/WUSM can manage to try to pull-off all the preceding against me (a military officer proudly serving in the US Army and a medical doctor) during a period of war, I am not sure anyone without “ultra-deep pockets “ is quite outside the reach of powerful corporations in this country (United States) and the world.

Help bring corporate tyranny to an end.
Please help get this word to the masses; I have lost faith in our modern news media, those historically believed to be the guardians of democracy and our civil liberties. (I have contacted most of the major news organizations, including CNN, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Associated Press, but none appear willing to go against the twin juggernauts of BJH/WUSM.)

You can also assist by contacting the FBI, the Attorney General of the US, and the Senate Committees on Armed Services and the Judiciary to wade in on this issue, for the ongoing Color of Law Abuse is too self-apparent and is casting quite a shadow on the integrity of our nation’s law enforcement. Below are the letters I have written to the FBI and the US Congress on my issue; you can use them as a template.

What am I requesting and looking for through this blog?
A reason to believe, again, that the United States is still true to her publicly espoused and founding ideals that made this nation standout as the beacon of hope to the world; a listening ear, a rational and object mind, an empathic heart; and a fair and full investigation by the FBI and the United States Congress into the circumstances surrounding the actions of BJH/WUSM against me, as described above.

Letter to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

July 10, 2012
Ms. Jennifer King
Division of Survey, Certification & Enforcement
Kansas City Regional Office
Center for Medicare Services
Richard Bolling Federal Building
601 E. 12th St., Room 235
Kansas City, MO 64106‐2808
Dear Ms. King:
Re: EMTALA Compliant Case #: MO00075630.
I am writing to acknowledge the receipt of the letter, dated February 21, 2012, which I received from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (MDHSS). Noted in the letter is the result of MDHSS’s investigation into the EMTALA complaint I had submitted regarding Barnes Jewish Hospital (BJH) of Saint Louis, MO. The stated conclusion reached, per the letter, was: "the complaint was found to be Unsubstantiated."
In the complaint, I had alleged that BJH maliciously violated the EMTALA act twice, over the course of two consecutive days: July 8, 2011 and July 9, 2011. The complaint further tried to show that, in the commission of the EMTALA violations, BJH deliberately violated my civil rights on both days.
These civil rights violations by BJH are best understood within the right perspective: I am a licensed physician who was undergoing clinical residency training at their institution; I had completed three years of clinical training when BJH violated my civil rights.
Nevertheless, based on my medical background and clinical practice experience, I disagree with the result of the investigation, and I am formally requesting a redress therefore. That is, I am asking that my EMTALA complaint against BJH be reopened and re-investigated. I believe reopening this case is all the more appropriate, given the additional materials I am hereby supplying, which are in support of the issues I will be raising later.
Should your office not be in a position to grant my request, I will greatly appreciate being notified and that all appropriate documents and materials regarding this issue be forwarded to the appropriate agent.
My rationale for requesting a reopening and a re-investigation of my EMTALA complaint concerning BJH are:
  • BJH has an emergency department
  • On both occasions, I was physically located inside the hospital building and was within close proximity to BJH Emergency Department.
  • My presenting emergent medical condition was acute and life threatening; they include multiple trauma to the head, loss of consciousness, and severe chest pains.
  • Throughout my prolonged detention on the hospital grounds by BJH, I was never provided any appropriate medical screening examination; on elaboration, this implies:
  • The qualified staff in the hospital, including nurses or physicians, did not provide needed and necessary medical examination or treatment.
  • BJH allowed my medical situation to worsen; in essence, they purposefully withheld medical care and treatment from me, on both days.
  • BJH failed to generate required medical records, on both days, of my presentation to their emergency medical department, in an emergent medical state; this means, there were no records of:
  • Providing the risks and benefits information needed to obtain my informed-consent before they executed my transfers out of their hospital.
  • Obtaining my consents for both hospital-transfers they executed.
  • Necessary and appropriate documentation of my presentation and of my emergent medical conditions, which is required for my proper medical treatment were neglected and left undone, including any rationale justifying their decision to transfer me, against my will, to two outside hospitals. BJH was more than fully equipped and staffed to provide the necessary medical examination and treatment needed in my specific situations; there was no real medical necessity for them to resort to transferring me to an outside hospital.
Once again, I have attached copies of some of documents I have in my possession regarding this subject matter; I still have others that might be of use, should you need further information. Also, I am available to answer your questions, and I can be reached at Oladimeji.Alade@us.army.mil, 631.316.8101, or the address above.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,

Letter to the President of the United States: President Barack Obama

June 01, 2012
President Barack Obama
The President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President:
A Humble Request for your Intervention in the Ongoing Violation of the Civil Rights of a Military Physician.
Sir, I have sent you an Express Mail package via the USPS that contains more detailed information about my situation; the label for the package is: EI 188788716 US.
Sir, my family and I are undergoing undue and unnecessary spiritual, emotional, and financial hardships, wholly as a result of my being an officer in the USAR and for faithfully discharging my military obligations within the continental United States , during this period of war.
Sir, I write this humble petition within my capacity as a US Citizen and as a Commissioned Officer in the USAR. For, in my humble opinion, if the actions taken against me by the private entities named herein had occurred on a foreign soil, they would probably amount to an act of declaration of war against the United States. Sir, all I seek and request from you, is that a full and fair inquiry into my allegations be made.
Specifically, while I was in full military uniform and in the course of performing my military duties, I was subjected to the following:

  • I was viciously attacked twice by twelve to fifteen individuals, wherein I sustained significant bodily and psychological harm; there were no provocative or inciteful actions on my part, prior to been attacked by these individuals

  • I was held against my will, forcibly and in inhumane conditions, for over 18 hours, with a total and complete deprivation of my human and civil rights.

  • I was forced to endure three psychiatric evaluations at three different hospitals, within a period of 24 hours, in dehumanizing conditions. (In each of these psychiatric evaluations, I was adjudged medically and psychiatrically stable.)

  • I was jailed for 2 days on trumped-up charges and was prosecuted maliciously for six months. Although the false criminal charges levied against me were later dismissed with prejudice and the arrest/criminal record expunged, it was at a significant financial ($40,000.00 [forty thousand dollars]) and emotional cost.

  • My family and I were subjected to needless probing and scrutiny through the false and malicious report to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that I am a terrorist, who has direct links to Osama bin Laden. After an extensive investigation by the FBI, nothing could be found to neither corroborate the allegations made against me nor warrant the suspicion that I am a terrorist.

  • On February 02, 2012, my home was forcibly broken into by Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Officers; these officers drew guns on my infant son, broke doors to bedrooms, which were unlocked and visibly open, and completely wrecked my house.
My family and I were forced to endure these criminal actions through the activities of various agents and surrogates of Barnes Jewish Hospital/Washington University School of Medicine (BJH/WUSM) in Saint Louis, MO, and at the hands of some unscrupulous police officers of the Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD).
Sir, when I joined the USAR, I took an oath (willingly and proudly [and I still am!]) to pay the ultimate personal sacrifice, in support and defense of "the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." My humble request and imploration through this medium, is that you please intervene in my ongoing plight by having my case vigorously looked into and a fair and full investigation conducted into the circumstances and issues surrounding the events described above.
I still believe that the United States is the beacon of hope to the World, in the staunch and unremitting defense and protection of human and civil rights; Sir, please help.
Thank you for your care, concern, and assistance; and may God bless the United States of America!
Sincerely,
Alade, Oladimeji, MSc, D.O.

Letter to the United States Congress: House Committees

May 31, 2012
The Honorable Lamar Smith
Chairman, House Committee on the Judiciary
2138 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
The Honorable Howard McKeon
Chairman, House Committee on Armed Services
2120 Rayburn House Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Chairmen Smith and McKeon:
A Humble Request for your Intervention in the Ongoing Violation of the Civil Rights of a Black Military Physician.
Sirs, I write this humble petition within my capacity as a United States Citizen and as a Commissioned Officer in the United States Army Reserve, and not necessarily as a citizen of a specific state, within the federation of the United States of America. If the actions taken against me by the private entities named in this petition had occurred on a foreign soil, they would probably amount to an act of declaration of war against the United States. All I seek and request through this medium is a full and fair inquiry/investigation into the allegations herein made.
I am specifically writing your committees for, in my humble opinion, they both have significant oversight and responsibilities in regards to the three central issues at crossroads in my situation:
  1. The United States Constitution and the rights guaranteed therein,
  2. The notion of Justice, Equity, and Fairplay as practiced and enforced within the continental United States, regardless of race, national origin, or social status, and
  3. The respect and gratitude accorded to United States Servicemen/Servicewomen by law enforcement agencies, especially during this period when the society expects and demands much from them.
My humble opinion was reached per the information gleaned from your respective committees’ website:
House Committee on the Judiciary:
"The jurisdiction of the House Committee on the Judiciary as follows: … 5. Civil Liberties….7. Criminal law enforcement….19. Subversive activities affecting the internal security of the United States."
House Committee on Armed Services
(specifically in reference to the Subcommittee on Military Personnel):
"This subcommittee makes sure that our troops and their loved ones are receiving the first class benefits that they deserve."
Sirs, my family and I are undergoing undue and unnecessary spiritual, emotional, and financial hardships, wholly as a result of my being an officer in the United States Army Reserves (USAR) and for faithfully discharging my military obligations within the continental United States, during this period of war.

To the FBI: Reporting Criminal Activities (4th Letter)



May 30, 2012

Mr. Dean C. Bryant
Special Agent in Charge
FBI Saint Louis 
2222 Market Street
St. Louis, MO 63103

Dear Mr. Bryant: 
Filing a Crime Compliant

Sir, this is my fourth correspondence with the FBI-Saint Louis, MO office about the issues raised in this compliant/letter. As of this writing, I am yet to receive an official notification from your office to indicate that the crimes reported herein are being looked into and/or addressed.



Although I have enclosed quite some materials in this correspondence to you (both hard and soft copies), I still have in my possession significant more materials, which I am willing to share with you, regarding the allegations raised herein; I’m of the opinion that some of them might be of evidentiary value.



Sir, there were three criminal incidents against my person and of which I suffered significant body and psychological harm, including multiple head trauma and lacerations; as of today, I am still in great pain and suffering from the injuries inflicted on me when I was viciously attacked, twice. The dates and immediate circumstances surrounding the afore-mentioned attacks are described in the body of this compliant.



While acknowledging that I am not necessarily a legal expert, the following appears to be some of the criminal acts perpetuated against my person:
  • Color of Law abuse,
  • Conspiracy to impede and injure a United States Serviceman on account of service,
  • Attacks on a United States Serviceman on account of service,
  • Discrimination against person wearing uniform of armed forces, and
  • Civil Rights Violations
  • Armed robbery


I was forced to endure these criminal actions through the activities of various agents and surrogates of Barnes Jewish Hospital/Washington University School of Medicine (BJH/WUSM) in Saint Louis, MO, and at the hands of some unscrupulous police officers of the Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD). A brief description of these incidents is as follows.

  1. On July 8, 2011, while I was in full military uniform and in the course of discharging my military obligations and service (and despite my full cooperation), after fully identifying myself as a captain in the United States Army Reserves (USAR), I was subjected to the following by the Security Personnel of BJH/WUSM, who were under the direct supervision and control of a BJH HR Manager; this BJH HR Manager was physically present and observed the unfolding events:

    • I was viciously attacked by BJH/WUSM Security Personnel, numbering between twelve to fifteen individuals, simultaneously, and I sustained significant body and psychological harm; there were no provocative or inciteful actions on my part, prior to been attacked by these individuals.
    • I was forcibly held against my will (in essence, I was practically kidnapped) for over 18 hours.
    • The BJH HR Manager present and directing the attack of his hospital’s Security Personnel against me, purposefully made false information and hoaxes about me for malicious ends. In this willful act of disinformation by the HR Manager, instruments of unsworn declarations were used and had the net effect of, amongst other things, the creation of a conspiracy against me.
    • My personal properties (which included my personal laptop) were forcibly and unduly taken away from me. As of this moment, BJH/WUSM is still holding onto my personal possession and refusing to turn them over to the proper authorities.
    • Two SLMPD police officers were present on the scene when my personal possessions was forcibly taken and confiscated by BJH/WUSM Security Personnel. I implored these officers to please intervene and help secure my properties but they refused to uphold the law; they instead jeered at me that I should “add it to my lawsuit against the hospital.”

  1. On July 9, 2011, after being released from the prolonged detention BJH/WUSM Security Personnel had subjected me to, I returned to BJH to ask for the return of my personal possessions, which they had forcibly confiscated, as described earlier. BJH/WUSM refused to release my possessions, and while I was outside the hospital and headed towards my car to go home, I was once again, and for the second time, subjected to:
    • A vicious attack, wherein I sustained another round of significant bodily and psychological trauma. (I was later diagnosed with “closed head injury,” due to the repeated head trauma BJH/WUSM Security Personnel subjected me to.) The video footage of this event, as captured by BJH/WUSM security camera, can be viewed at:
    • Being forcibly held against my will for another extended period.
    • False and seriously damaging information was, again, deliberately and maliciously disseminated against me; an example of this is BJH/WUSM’s allegation that I am a terrorist with links to Osama bin Laden.
  1. On February 2, 2012, SLMPD officers forcibly broke into my home at 4103 Olive Street 63108. The officers used an excessive and undue force, not only in entering my home (the door to which they never knocked) but also in the execution of their “search warrant”; they drew guns on my hapless and elderly parent-in-laws, who were taking care of my infant son; and also broke doors of bedrooms, which were unlocked and visibly open. The SLMPD police officers claimed that they were performing a “search and seizure” of all my digital and computing devices for an ongoing child-pornography investigation against me.


During the raid of my home on 02 Feb 12, some of the SLMPD police officers made comments and references regarding my ongoing legal issues with BJH/WUSM. Those comments and the wreck-of-a-home they left in the wake of the execution of their search warrant, strongly suggested to me that there were other overriding sinister and ulterior motives prompting the invasion and destruction of my home; I feel the raid was more of an abuse of judicial process.



Furthermore, my suspicion of SLMPD police officers’ abuse of the process of law is all the more piqued, given that in both instances wherein my digital and computing devices were forcibly confiscated, SLMPD police officers have always been actively involved; they either “looked the other way,” refusing to uphold the Law, or appeared to be but extensions of BJH/WUSM Security Personnel. Also, in both instances, one is left with the eerie feeling that SLMPD police officers weren’t being faithful to the oaths of their office. All the more, as I write this, I am still being subjected to continued hardships through the prolonged withholding of my digital and computing devices by SLMPD, which includes all my data and their corresponding backups.



On the subject of child-pornography, I am not a pedophile. Throughout my nearly two decades of living inside the United States, I have never had any run-ins with Law Enforcement (other than routine traffic tickets), until BJH/WUSM Security Personnel viciously attacked, multiple times. Since the raid on my home, I have, nevertheless, relocated outside of Saint Louis, MO for the safety of my infant son and my young family.



My humble request and imploration through this medium, is that these allegations be looked into. I have various documents, pictures, video, and audio materials, which I believe presents a strong and convincing reason to at least perform a preliminary inquiry into the issues and circumstances surrounding the allegations I have made.



I can be reached at: 631.316.8101 or Oladimeji.Alade@us.army.mil.



Thank you.



Sincerely,



Alade, Oladimeji, MS, D.O.

The Evolution of a Saga: Notice of Press Conference

"The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears. The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.... The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. He shot his arrows and scattered [the enemies], great bolts of lightning and routed them. The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare.... He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me."
Psalm 18: 5 - 17 (NIV)

"Those who try to hide their plans from the Lord are doomed! They carry out their schemes in secret and think no one will see them or know what they are doing. They turn everything upside down....God will destroy those who slander others, those who prevent the punishment of criminals, and those who tell lies to keep honest people from getting justice."
Isaiah 29: 15 - 21 (GNB)



Criminal Trespass Charge Update (Cause No. 1122-CR03796):
In December 2011, the Criminal Trespass Charge against me, which was maliciously filed by Barnes Jewish Hospital/Washington University School of Medicine (BJH/WUSM), was finally dismissed with prejudice.

Furthermore, the criminal record BJH/WUSM purposefully and spitefully created against me, by having me wrongfully arrested, detained, and jailed for two days, was also expunged. (Please refer to the bottom of this post for further details.)

BJH/WUSM had relentlessly pursued the bogus Criminal Trespass Charge against me for 6 months, causing my legal defense expenses to total about $40,000.00.

The facts of the case were never in BJH/WUSM’s favor but they callously and unremittingly pressed ahead, and in the process caused me and countless other people undue and unnecessary mental and emotional anguish.

Given that BJH/WUSM are presupposed to be in the business of caring and promoting health/well-being, their actions and activities against me are beyond rationalization and defies any attempt thereof. It appears that something is quite “off” and “unstable” at these institutions; you be the judge.

I thank the Infinite Mind, my lead Legal Counsel (Andrew Ndubisi Ucheomumu, LL.M., Esq.), and all who have supported me (and continue to do so) as I passed through this valley of the shadow of death.


Notice of Press Conference

Date: January 25, 2012.

Venue: The Steps of St. Louis Circuit Court Civil Division on Market Street.

Time: 11:00 A.M.

Subject: The savage beating of a U.S. Army Reserves' Captain and a Medical Doctor by Barnes Jewish Hospital Security Personnel

Brief Narrative

On January 25, 2012, we will be filing a civil lawsuit against Barnes Jewish Hospital (BJH) and other defendants for the savage beating of United States Army Reserves Capt. Dr. O. Jacobs Alade, whose photos is as above and the video of his savage assault is enclosed in this USB drive.

On July 8, 2011, Capt. Dr. Alade went to BJH (where he was a third-year [PGY-3] resident in psychiatry) to attend to routine administrative tasks and attend a colleague’s retirement party. At the retirement party, he intended to show solidarity to God, Country, and the US Army by wearing his military uniform. In addition to showing solidarity, and as he had done in the past, he engaged in recruitment activities for the US Army Reserves, given the acute shortage of behavioral/mental health providers in the Army. This acute shortage of behavioral/mental health providers in the military is all the more poignant, given the huge number of Traumatic Brian Injury and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders suffered by our troops in the recently concluded wars and the ongoing Global War on Terror.

After attending the party and while calmly seated in his clinic office at the Wohl Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic, BJH Security Personnel, under the immediate direction and supervision of a BJH HR Manager, burst into his office and beat him savagely.

In addition to the being beaten, wherein Capt. Dr. Alade suffered intermittent loss of consciousness and severe chest pains, he was stripped of his military uniform, his military boots were forcefully and painfully removed, he was handcuffed, his legs were shackled, and he was forcefully transported to John Cochrane VA Hospital, Saint Louis, MO for “further psychiatric evaluation”; in essence, BJH was looking for ways to psychiatrically commit Capt. Dr. Alade. BJH transported Capt. Dr. Alade to John Cochrane VA Hospital against his will, in spite of the acute injuries BJH Security Personnel inflicted on him, and his pleadings to be taken to the BJH Emergency Department, which was two flights below his office clinic.

During the assault and battery on Capt. Dr. Alade’s person, the BJH HR Manager, who was observing and directing BJH Security Personnel, crouched down to Capt. Dr. Alade’s eye level, made some racial epithet, and spat on Capt. Dr. Alade’s face. This same BJH HR Manager further directed the BJH Security Personnel to seize and withhold Capt. Dr. Alade’s personal laptop and other personal belongings.

When no psychiatrist could diagnose Capt. Dr. Alade with a mental disorder (because he had none and no history therefore), he was released from the emergency department. On July 9, 2011 Capt. Dr. Alade went to BJH with his brother to retrieve his laptop. When he was told that his laptop will not be released, he proceeded to leave. Unknown to him, however, BJH Security personnel were tracking him with their camera while he was on BJH premises, they proceeded to intercept him, and, once again, they beat him up. (Please see the video clip attached herein.) As indicated on the video, Capt. Dr. Alade was unarmed and posed no threat to any person or property. Capt. Dr. Alade has always been a professional.

After beating Capt. Dr. Alade, BJH then charged him with assaulting about six to eight BJH Security Officers and a first degree trespass. Then the hospital falsely told the FBI that Capt. Dr. Alade worships Osama bin Laden and that the Fort Hood alleged shooter, Major Hassan is his hero. None of these malicious and false allegations are true and after extensive investigation, FBI cleared Capt. Dr. Alade.

As further background, Capt. Dr. O. Jacobs Alade has the following qualifications:

  • Permanent and Unrestricted Medical License
    Missouri State.

  • Psychiatry Residency (3 years; 2008 – 2011)
    Washington University School of Medicine/Barnes Jewish Hospital, Saint Louis, MO

  • Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (June 2008)
    UMDNJ - School of Osteopathic Medicine, Stratford, New Jersey

  • Masters of Science, Information Systems (cum laude, February 2003)
    City University of New York, Brooklyn, New York

  • Bachelor of Science, Biotechnology (magna cum laude, May 2000)
    City University of New York, Queens, NY
In addition to his academic credentials, Capt. Dr. Alade has over 5 years of research experience and has worked with great minds at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York. Also, he is currently a captain in the U.S. Army Reserves with secret security clearance. He is married and his wife has Ph.D. in Biomedical Science and MBA degree.

Capt. Dr. Alade is represented by Attorney Andrew Ndubisi Ucheomumu, LL.M., Esq., The Ucheomumu Law Group, and LLC. Bethesda, Maryland. (301) -699-0079, Cell Phone: 202-351-1761.
