White Supremacy in the Virginia Court of Appeals

Va. Appellate Court Justices Protect known White Supremist Judge Daniel T. Balfour

A complaint filed with the VGA exposes retired Judge Daniel T. Balfour as having close ties with Neo-Confederate organizations that have strong white supremist beliefs and that their heritage of pro-slavery should be preserved. Article on Complaint filed with VGA

The fact is that Virginia Appellate Justices Daniel Ortiz, Lisa Lorish, and Richard AtLee recognized that Daniel T. Balfour has strong ties to white supremist organizations and funds them by selling his book "13th Virginia Cavalry." Appellate Justices Daniel Ortiz, Lisa Lorish, and Richard AtLee, ignored the evidence in CAV Rec. No. 0706-22 that retired Judge Balfour committed treason by usurping the authority of the SCV and VGA. See Article on Bribery of Appellate judges

Daniel T. Balfour has been a judge for over twenty (20) years, eight (8) years as a presiding judge in Henrico County Circuit Court and twelve (12) years as a retired judge who is on recall. The SCV can recall retired judges, only by a designation order, to preside over cases where presiding judges in that judicial circuit have recused themselves or if the court is overloaded.

The most disturbing fact is that a known racist Judge (Balfour) has been presiding over circuit court cases in the City of Richmond for over twelve (12) years which has a population of 44% blacks and presided in the Henrico County for eight (8) years where the population of blacks is 29.6%.

The "13th Virginia Cavalry" was written in 1986 by Daniel T. Balfour which depicts Judge Balfour's ancestors fight to retain the rights to own and enslave African Americans. Judge Balfour "13th Virginia Cavalry" promotes and supports the heritage of pro-slavery and funds white supremist organizations that continue to recruit families and individuals to their events.

Daniel T. Balfour is a current member of the "13th Virginia Cavalry" Company I, Board Member of the Museum of the Confederacy and a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

The "13th Virginia Cavalry" Company I, is a white supremist organization which that continues to promote PRO-SLAVERY views and lifestyles to individuals and families through events in this current time of awareness.

Daniel T. Balfour's 13th Virginia Cavalry dedication page uses the same phrases as the promotional flyer used to organize events and recruit new members to their white supremacy Confederate community.

Part 1. Exposing Virginia Judicial Corruption Syndicates

 Judicial Mediation Services exposed as corrupt judges/attorney networks sold to the highest bidder

Judicial corruption has been organized into a new modus operandi with the formation of mediation services by "neutrals,” retired judges, and experienced attorneys independently contracted by companies to give an alternative to courts. These mediation services are a syndicate of corruption, organizing judges and attorneys to receive bribes in exchange for favorable decisions.

The popular term used by these companies is called Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR), described as "assisting litigants or would-be litigants in resolving disputes without the cost, time, publicity and delay that may be encountered in going to Court and litigating a case through trial and possible appeals." 

On the surface, it sounds honest, efficient, and time management. Still, when we closely examine who are the "neutrals" and their history, it’s like biting into a poisonous apple, as the term "neutral" is contradictory to their services. It’s a matter of the highest bidder who gets the favorable decision.

But any decision made is not a court order, not binding on either party and if no settlement is reached, the parties are back to step one, the courts. Most importantly, the mediation is confidential and is prohibited from being used in the courts.

We will look at two of the most popular Judicial Mediation Services; 

The McCammon Group, 

https://www.mccammongroup.com/neutrals/ 

and 

Juridical Solutions PLC, 

https://juridicalsolutions.com/professionals/

Both mediation services charge by the hour, ranging from $300 to $500 per hour; add in the attorney cost for each party, and this Alternate Dispute Resolution would cost two litigants well over $1200 per hour. As all parties are getting paid by the hour, it would not behoove the attorneys and the "neutrals" for an early settlement. 

Another trap in this judicial syndicate is that the mediation services are not a court of law. Thus the judges are not obligated to the Canons of Judicial Conduct for the State of Virginia. They can break the rules and not be held responsible.

It is questionable if the attorneys can be held responsible for violating the Rules of the Virginia Code of Professional Conduct, as the mediation is confidential.

One would ask, what is the advantage of using mediation services? None for the litigants; imagine spending tens of thousands on unbinding, corrupt, and confidential mediation services. If one party is not agreeable, you are back in the courts anyway but have wasted time, money, and effort for nothing but frustration for the litigants.

The only ones who come out winners are the attorneys and judges who mediate these services, which is another scam for the litigant!
