The Gaston's story
In 1996, Melissa Gaston,
age 5, was literally stolen out of the front yard of the apartment building
where she and her father, Will Gaston, were living. Silverton police officer
Gary Robertson and Oregon State Housing Authority employee Shirley Baez, the
apartment manager, acted together to remove Melissa from her home.
Melissa was not returned to her father although Will was never charged with
any crime. She remained in foster homes where she was raped, burned as a method
of punishment, and, at age 6, a porn film was made of her by foster mother Hazel
Spees, at the direction of Larry Lawson, a caseworker for SOSCF (State of Oregon
Services for Children and Families).
Will and Pamela Gaston pursued the case. The foster mother, not wanting to take
the fall and unable to receive in writing that she had been instructed to make
the graphic video, wrote a full confession about 30 pages in length.
Will and Pamela filed under the FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) and received
their discovery from the Attorney General's office. Included in the documents
was the confession of Hazel Spees, which revealed State- sponsored child pornography,
the grooming of Melissa for sexual abuse, and the porn film.
The Gastons printed the confession in their newspaper, A Voice For Children,
and organized a rally in front of the public school where Hazel Spees was a
first grade teacher (Ms. Spees still teaches young children at the same public
school in Monitor, Oregon). There, during school hours, they handed out copies
of their newspaper.
The Gastons were charged with stalking. Other charges followed until the state
of Oregon had brought 12 individual cases against them.
The Gastons countersued under the RICO act. Pamela Gaston, stepmother of Melissa,
became her own attorney/lawyer, Sui Juris, and has subsequently fought in court
many times, calling to the witness stand judges, prosecuting attorneys, social
workers, and other public officials, questioning and cross-examining them with
penetrating insight and fervent determination, to make a record of fraud, corruption,
conspiracy, racketeering and other crimes. She has filed suits naming unelected
and elected officials up to and including Governor Kitzhaber. She is undaunted
and masterful in the courtroom, even when arrayed by the state of Oregon in
shackles and chains. Melissa, now 9, has disappeared into the system.
In spite of the fact that Pamela has proven beyond any reasonable doubt--repeatedly--a
long string of impeachable offenses against these officials, nothing happens.
Melissa doesn't come back, corrupt officials don't go to jail, prosecutors won't
prosecute anyone but the Gastons and their supporters, and the mainstream media
won't report it.
Pamela continues to fight in the courts exposing corruption and relentlessly
discomfiting the powerbrokers therein. What follows are the details of what
has occurred so far as a result of her valiant efforts. The purpose of this
website is to teach and encourage others to be their own Sui Juris lawyers and
to enlighten us all concerning the invisible balance of power in the courtroom
and how to unsettle it.
Americans nationwide are losing their children, their lands, and their possessions
to corrupt government officials. The information on this website is provided
to help us, Americans, stanch the flow of the loss of our freedoms and seek
to regain our rights. The ongoing Gaston case is fascinating to say the least.
It continues to develop and expand.
This site is in a continuing process of being updated, enlarged and revised.
