CONSPIRACY Web
Address: mccaleb5thdith@aol.com Steven A.
McCaleb SUBJECT: Injustice in
Mississippi/Mississippi Gulf Coast Conspiracy I have a story to tell.
All of the information provided is true to my knowledge. I will explain
how I was conspired against by three attorneys Donald Rafferty, Channing
Powell, Reilly Morse, and the Mississippi Bar Association and how the
conspiracy evolved. PERSONAL HISTORY: COMMENT: The enemy in
Vietnam treated me better than I have been treated by the people
involved in this conspiracy. CONSPIRATORS &
OTHERS INVOLVED: Michael Channing
Powell, P.O. box 4253, Gulfport, Mississippi, 39502, phone
228-864-5321, fax 228-863-5748. I paid another 1,000 he waited until my
Statue of Limitation ran out. I signed a contract paying Channing Powell
$85 per hour. I have requested several times for document showing what
he had done on the case. I have never received any documents. WRANPS did
however said they would settle the case and pay me $1,000 if I would
sign a document stating I would never file another claim against WRANPS.
I did not sign the document. Joseph Reilly Morse,
private attorney, P.O. box 1528, 2400 14th St., Ste 104, Gulfport,
Mississippi 39502-1528, phone 228-864-4525, fax 228-864-4348, e-mail
address reillym@aol.com. The reason Reilly Morse became WRANPS attorney
was because his wife was actively involved with WRANPS. Henry Laird,
Attorney for WRANPS, INC: I faxed a letter requesting he contact me
about the money owed to me by WRANPS, INC. He did not contact me, I
phoned his office and spoke to his secretary, which stated Henry was not
available. I left a message requesting he phone me, but he has not.
Corruption is everywhere Jim Simpson,
Attorney and a Mississippi Legislature: Fax #: 868-7090 The Mississippi Bar
Association: jsimpson@mail.house.state.ms.us. I request he help me
with have WRANPS, INC. pay me what I am owed. Attorney/Legislature

General, Mike Moore Harrison County
Building Code Office 4/5/00 10:40:59 AM Henry Laird: Henry, I will add you and Jim Simpson, attorney &
legislature, District 120, jsimpson@mail.house.state.ms.us to my web
site. I requested you contact me and you have not. I phoned your office
to speak with you, but your secretary said you were not in. If you have
not read my web site and link you may want too. STEVEN A. McCALEB Attorneys involved: Donald J. Rafferty private Investigator, 2118 18th
St. Gulfport, Mississippi, 39502, phone 228-868-5421, fax 228-868-5422.
I paid $1,000 and he quit after 8 months, I did not recover my $1,000. I
do have the phone conversation on tape of the day Donald Rafferty quit.
I filed, in Small Claim Court, to recover my $1,000, Donald Rafferty had
the original date and time changed and instead of the court room being
full of people, he had fixed it so only two bailiffs, his attorney, the
female judge, and myself were present in the court room. Donald Rafferty
counter sued me for another $1,000 and the female judge ruled in Donald
Rafferty favor. This shows how deep corruption goes inside the Law
Community. Michael Channing Powell, P.O. box 4253, Gulfport,
Mississippi, 39502, phone 228-864-5321, fax 228-863-5748. I paid another

for information, still no answer. Subj: Re: My Legislature Jim Simpson Mr. McCaleb I have received your emails. Sorry for not responding
earlier; my computer has been down. I can see you are very frustrated with your long
battle, and understand the difficulty in dealing with government
agencies. Although I reallycannot understand all that is involved, it
appears that this is a matter over which or about which I can have
little input or influence. I do not have a role or voice in county
budgets or payments, and do not have any expertise in their affairs. I
do know both of the attorneys you mentioned, and do not know what their
advice was. I am sorry I could not be of assistance, and hope you
can find a resolution soon. JIM SIMPSON April 13, 2000 103 ALVERADO DRIVE Jim Simpson: I just read the Sun Herald article where you must
persuade the House Local and Private committee and the full House on
raising our taxes again. This is so we can have new roads. I just placed another web site on the Internet you
may want to read. It concerns "INITIATIVES" and building a
network of people and computers throughout the 5 Congressional
Districts. MISSISSIPPIANS WEB SITE http://hometown.aol.com/misswebsite/misswebsite.html Its times like this I wish I all ready had everything
in place. I want to see documentation on how much money just on
the planning stage of our roads over the last five (5) years. I am sure
you have that information readily available. Please provide me with the
information requested. I sent you a web site about you and how you can raise
my taxes, but you cannot help me get paid for the work I completed at
WRANPS INC. STEVEN A. McCALEB I have filed several complaints to the Mississippi
Bar Association requesting disbarment from practicing Law in the State
of Mississippi. What I found out was the only thing the Mississippi Bar
Association does is provides Law License to attorneys, I have this
statement on tape, and nothing else. If you file a complaint the
Mississippi Bar Associations attorneys investigate your complaint. You
will receive a letter stating your complaint has shown the attorney has
done no wrong, and no action will be taken against the attorney. I am in
the process of starting an Initiative and collecting enough signatures
to request an organization be developed to investigate complaints filed
against attorneys. I hope to get this completed by statewide elections
for the year 2002; I need people throughout Mississippi in every
district to collect signatures to place this organization on the ballot.
I am building a web site, which will begin a network of Mississippians
with computers in all five congressional districts. Other agencies: Wildlife Rehabilitation and Nature Preservation

Department of Mississippi Marine Resources has given Grants, which
amounts to $69,373,86 for FY 1997, 1998, 2000. This does not include
money collected through their online WRANPS MEMBERSHIP FORM and
donations. Remember there are only one paid employee and that is
Kate/Katy Pope. And if you think about it, why is the Mississippi Marine
Resources giving money to a Wildlife Preservation, which has nothing to
do with Marine Resources. University of Southern Mississippi, President, Dr.
Horace Fleming: e-mail- president@usm.edu: The land in which WRANPS is
located is owned by The University of Southern Mississippi (USM). I have
explained to Dr. Fleming that WRANPS Inc. is a SCAM society, I asked why
he allows this society Inc. run their SCAM on the University of Southern
Mississippi property, but he say they have nothing to do with the
society Inc. Sounds like a cover-up to me, what do you think? Mississippi Attorney Generals Office; Mike Moore:
e-mail - msag05@ago.state.ms.us: Requested his office investigate
Director Ben Clark, Harrison County Building Code Office. Attorney
General, Mike Moore said it was not his job. But if you read the
Attorney Generals responsibilities, you will read that it is his
responsibility to investigate corruption. You can read these
responsibilities online, go to www.dogpile.com (this is 25 search

Ben Clark, 15309 Community Road, Gulfport, Mississippi 39503,
phone: 228-832-1622, fax, 228-831-3355. I have
requested Ben Clark's resignation several times for breaking the
Mississippi Law. When Ben Clark provided electrical power to WRANPS
Inc., knowing they had not obtained a building permit he broke the law.
So if you live in Harrison County and you want to build a building you
do not need to go to the Harrison County Building Code Office to obtain
the necessary permits. All you need to do is remind him that WRANPS Inc.
did not. I have sent a letter to the Secretary of State, Eric Clark, to
obtain the original permits (building & electrical). These permits
must have a date prior to February 1991. If the Secretary of State
cannot obtain these permits why is Ben Clark still the director of the
Harrison County Building Code Office? Sun Herald Newspaper: President, Roland Weeks, 205 DeBuys Road, Gulfport,

failed to have the Sun Herald investigate WRANPS Inc. but I could never
get an answer. I even tried to place a classified ad in the Legal
Section of the Newspaper but I received an E-mail stating: LEGAL INFORMATION www.mississippi.com/~mccaleb/index.html Steven A. McCaleb Subj: Legal Information Ad Dear Mr. McCaleb, Regretfully we will not be able to accept the ad that

13/ABC investigate WRANPS Inc., but I have found that our local
television manager, Leon Long supports WRANPS Inc. So even by providing
Mr. Long a story he would rather do things his was. Like when
Mississippi had it last statewide elections. Mr. Long went on his
television station and told the people of Mississippi to vote NO on
Proposition #9, which was to limit terms for our elected officials. I
believe our local Newspaper and Television Station, (The Sun Herald
Newspaper & WLOX-TV Channel 13/ABC) should be neutral and not take
positions, which effect Mississippians. Mississippi Power Company; President, Dwight
Evans: When Director, Ben Clark, Harrison County Building
Code Office, broke Mississippi law by authorizing electrical power be
hooked up by the Mississippi Power Company to the Wildlife
Rehabilitation & Nature Preservation Society, Inc., Director, Katy
Pope. The Mississippi Power Company knows the Harrison County Building
Code Office did not have the authority to have electrical power hooked
up. I wrote and explained that their was never a Building Permit issued. 3/8/00 10:43:55 AM Mississippi Secretary of State's Office Mr. Clark, I am requesting copies of the Mississippi
Constitution of 1890, Section 273; and Miss. Code Ann., Sections 23-17-1
through 23-17-61 (1972). I intend to place an initiative on the ballot, which
will put an organization in charge of the Mississippi Bar Association.
Since there is at this time no one except the Bar Association to
investigate all other attorneys. I have learned that if anyone needing
to have another organization to police itself it is the Mississippi Bar
Association. If you are concerned about why I am pursuing this
initiative please read my web site. www.mississippi.com/~mccaleb/index.html Click on the Link at the bottom of the page http://hometown.aol.com//misswebsite/INITIATIVE.html This is a new web site - please view - it's a request

Mississippi law, for an initiative petition to be sufficient a minimum
of 98,336 certified signatures must be gathered; with at least 19,668

of an initiative to be placed on the official ballot. I am placing this page in a web site to be used to
collect the signatures required in the five congressional districts. I need for you to provide me with the wording you
require to ensure you and Eric Clark; Secretary of State will not keep
denying my request. Out Legislatures voted to allow Mississippians to
have INITIATIVE but by the time our lawmakers get finished with the
original Initiative it is turned around to ensure they are protected. Harrison County Supervisor: Mr. Marlin Ladner
(Newly Elected): First floor, Gulfport Courthouse, 228-865-4010. Marlin
Ladner (228-865-4001) is a newly elected Harrison County Supervisor, I
phoned Marlin Ladner before the election, Daniel Guice jr., Mississippi
Legislature phoned and e-mail me requesting I contact Marlin Ladner. I
spoke with Marlin Ladner prior to the election and explained my problem
of not getting paid for work I completed at WRANPS. He stated that I
should be paid for the work I had completed and if elected would work to
ensure I would get paid. I spoke with Marlin Ladner after the election
and he became Supervisor. He calls Ben Clark, Director Harrison County
Building Code Office. He then phoned me and stated there was nothing he
could do for me. He stated the matter had been resolved between Director
Ben Clark and the Wildlife Rehabilitation & Nature Preservation
Society, Inc. Its amazing how Marlin Ladner, being an honest person one
day and after becoming a politician and a public servant, become so
corrupted it such a short period of time. I plan to run for Supervisor
against Marlin Ladner next election. This is an e-mail letter I sent to Harrison
County Supervisor, Marlin Ladner. Mr. Ladner: I want to thank you for our conversation about
Director, Ben Clark. The Wild Life Society located at Pass Christian,
Mississippi. I hope you have the guts to pursue this matter, which
resulted in my not receiving the monies I have lost, plus tools and
profit. This is only one of the statements made in my
web page: www.mississippi.com/~mccaleb/index.html I left the project in February of 1991 and by
December 16, 1991 electrical power was hooked up to the WRANPS building.
When I learned this, I phoned and requested a meeting at the Harrison
County Code Office. The day I arrived at the Code Office I was escorted
to a room in the back of the building where five people were sitting
around a table. I was introduced to each person. The first words out of
Mr. Clark's mouth were, "We cannot seem to find the file on
WRANPS." My question was how and why electrical power was hooked up
to the building without a building permit. I questioned Clark about our
three phone conversations when he stated that either the building would
be torn down or electrical power would never be hooked up. Clark did not
answer, but the man sitting at the opposite end of the table stated that
he gave approval for electrical power to be hooked up to the building.
He then threatened me by saying, " If you are going to pursue this
matter, you better go for the jugular vein because that is what I aim to
do." All I could say is why was power hooked up to the building and
again no answer from Clark. It seemed obvious someone had gotten to
Clark. The person who threatened me placed his arm around my neck and
walked me out to the parking lot, then turned around and went back into
the building. Supervisor Marlin Ladner has stated too me that
he will not have the building torn down and that I need to hire an
attorney and pursue this matter. In other words he spoke to Director,
Ben Clark, and instead of doing his job he decided to become corrupted
and a politician. See how quick one can become a politician. What is it
they say about when politician's lips are moving? Sincerely, STEVEN A. McCALEB 2/18/00 1:37:39 PM Mr. Marvin Ladner Mr. Ladner: I want to thank you for the nonsupport you have given
me, and being another typical politician. You have proven that what you
said during your election is not what you will do. Being dishonest is a
trait all politicians have, but since you have just gotten elected I
thought is might take awhile. By being another politician to protect the Harrison
County Building Code Office Director, Ben Clark just proves how sorry
you will be as a County Supervisor. This letter will be published into
my web page for all of Mississippi to read. STEVEN A. McCALEB Copy to: I will provide you with a list of e-mail
addresses to show where this letter has been sent. Ben Clark: Fax - 831-3355 The below e-mail is a request from our tax overpaid
legislature. Occupation: Gulf Coast Director - AGC of Mississippi:
The AGC stands for "American General Contractors." Don't you
find it odd that after I explained how Director Ben Clark broke
Mississippi Law by knowing the building at WRANPS never obtained a
building permit and would not provide the Master Electrician I hired to
wire the building. And later, Ben Clark, authorized electrical power be
hooked up does not want to get involved in investigate Ben Clark. It
seems our Legislature is not concerned about the law, maybe its because
he depends on Ben Clark to provide permits to his Mississippi General
Contractors, after all he is the Coast Director. Capitol Home Subj: No Response from Legislature Guice As a Mississippi Legislature, I am making an official
complaint. I am requesting that the director, Ben Clark, Harrison County
Building Code Office be investigated. The investigation will be confined to the
authorization of an Electrical Permit and Building Permit be produced
too me. This request is requested under the "Mississippi Public
Records Act of 1983" perhaps you voted for the act. Since you have stated that you do not come under
Harrison County, I am requesting you provide this request to the proper
Harrison County Legislature, where my legislature will conduct the
investigation. I would request the Harrison County Legislator contact me
for information on the investigation of Ben Clark, Harrison County
Building Code Office. Since I do not know the name, address, phone, fax and
e-mail address of the Harrison County Legislature you may want to
provide me with this information. Sincerely, Steven A. McCaleb I have not received an answer to my request. Subj: Re: WRANPS - A FRONT TO TAKE YOUR MONEY-

Mississippi. Why don't you do something about the corruption of the
Harrison County Building Code Office, Director Ben Clark? Its because he
lied to me and approved electrical power to be hooked up, which cost me
$7,790 plus profit, tax, and stolen tool by WRANPS. I have tried everything, but everyone is in bed with
everyone else, and knows one wants to do anything to upset the status
quo. I want and I will either get the money I am owed or no one will be

requests, perhaps I can get an answer from you, the
Supreme Court Justices. I have requested all documents
pertaining to my three complaints several times according
to Mississippi Law, under the Mississippi Public
Records Act of 1983, with still no response. If the Mississippi Bar is
exempt from abiding by the laws of Mississippi, the citizens of
Mississippi need to know. If they are not exempt,
I would like for the Bar to honor my request to
investigate in good faith the three attorneys
named in my request. I am entitled to copies of the investigation, but
since I have been unable to obtain copies, it
reinforces my belief that there was no
investigation. The Mississippi Bar Association
seems to be a free agent as far as answering to
the citizenry or obeying the laws of the state. It is not the best policy for an organization to
police itself against its own members. They can
be arbitrary and cavalier about any requests they
receive against one of their own. For information
about this dispute, please see my web page at
www.mississippi.com/~mccaleb/index.html. I know I was, and still am,
like David fighting Goliath; however, I am tenacious and plan to pursue
my cause until I receive justice. In the meantime, I will be spreading
the word about my treatment at the hands of the
Mississippi Bar Association and some of its less honorable
members. SunHerald Newspaper / Publisher, Ronald Weeks I read an article in the Sun Herald Newspaper, May
24, 1999, written by Eugene Stockstill who can be
reached at 896-2324 or at ehstockstill@sunherald.com.
The article is located on page "A2" and
addresses an organization named WRANPS (Wildlife
Rehabilitation and Nature Preservation Society)
located in Pass Christian, Mississippi. I have
requested the SunHerald Newspaper to investigate and
then run a series of articles concerning the corrupt
practices of WRANPS. The people of Mississippi have
been misled by this organization which has taken money
for the past 16 years in the name of charity. WRANPS is what I would call a front for obtaining
money from people under false pretenses. I was contracted
to finish a building on the University of Southern
Mississippi property and experienced first hand
the fact that WRANPS does not deal honestly with people,
does not pay for work it contracted, and cons
unsuspecting people into doing its work free. I will be purchasing space in the Sun Herald
Newspaper this year to place my Article and Web
Sites regarding my treatment at the hands of the
WRANPS organization. I am still owed $7,790 plus tax, profit, and tools
which were stolen from me by WRANPS. I have yet to
receive one penny for my work. I am asking all people to read my Web Page; the
address is www.mississippi.com/~mccaleb/index.html Wlox-TV The
Wildlife Rehabilitation and Nature Preservation Society (WRANPS) located
in Harrison County, Pass Christian, Mississippi, hired me as a
contractor. This was an oral contract between Marilyn McQueary,
president and Robin Berry, vice president. I later learned that Bill
McQueary, Marilyn McQueary’s husband, was the treasurer. I was hired to finish a
building that was built by New Orleans friends of WRANPS; i.e., Marilyn
McQueary and Robin Berry. These friends volunteered their labor over a
period of weekends. My job was to place a privacy fence around the
building, wire the building for electrical power, finish the inside
walls and ceiling, build cabinets and a counter. I hired a crew of two
construction workers and began the work. Marilyn McQueary gave me a key
to the building so the work could get started. I ordered and paid for
the construction materials from West Building Materials in Gulfport,
Mississippi. The project, initially
simple tasks, soon became constant changes and add-ons that were
different from the originally agreed on contractual work. I told both
Marilyn McQueary and Robin Berry that changes would increase the cost of
the material and labor of the job. They acknowledged this, and the
program progressed. Either Marilyn or Robin would tell the crew or me
what they wanted, and the material would be purchased at West Building
Materials. They praised the work being done. Either one or both of them
were on the job site every day watching the work. The crew was also asked
to perform work beyond the original oral contract. They built and
repaired large birdcages inside the privacy fence area. The electrician
I hired, Gary Frank, a Master Electrician, was to wire the building and
performed his work as requested by Marilyn McQueary and Robin Berry. He
also performed extra work on materials added to the project and was to
complete his part of the project on a Saturday. On Friday night prior
to the Saturday completion date, I received a phone call from Bill
McQueary who stated that discrepancies were found at the job site, for
my crew and me not to return to the job site, and for me to turn in my
key to the building. He also stated that Marilyn McQueary, Robin Berry
and himself had already contacted their attorney, Reilly Morse, who
would be getting in touch with me. Since I was not allowed to return to
the job site, all of my tools which were left at the job site were in
effect confiscated by WRANPS. This project began in
1991, and it is now 1999. I have to date not been reimbursed one penny
of the $7,790 I spent on labor and materials for the project. This does
not include any profit, sales tax, or the confiscated tools. I have been
trying to get the people and agencies listed above to help me bring this
to a fair conclusion. As time goes by without resolution of my financial
loss, it seems clear that a conspiracy is operating against me. The wife of the
attorney for WRANPS, Reilly Morse, is involved with WRANPS which
explains why he has provided free legal service for them while I have
had to pay for mine. The comment made by Bill McQueary the day before
the job was to be finished, "We have already contacted our
attorney, and he will be getting in touch with you," suggests to me
that WRANPS never intended to pay me and that Reilly Morse was part of
that plan from the beginning. I hired an attorney,
Donald Rafferty, in Gulfport, Mississippi. I paid $1,000 as a retainer
up front with two checks and the rest in cash. I have never received a
receipt nor signed a legal contract which is required by law. I
explained to Donald Rafferty my situation, and he explained how he would
try to retrieve my money and tools without going to court; however, if
this failed, he stated he would take WRANPS to court. After waiting for
several weeks for a progress report on the case, I phoned Rafferty’s
office and was told by his secretary that he was working on the case.
After several more weeks, I again phoned his office and asked how the
case was coming along and again was told he was working on the case.
This went on for eight months; then I received a phone call from
Rafferty telling me that he was going to quit the case. While it may be
legal for an attorney to quit a case whenever he pleases, it is clearly
unethical to take $1,000 from a client and do nothing for him except
string him along until he can quit. I reminded him that he
had said he would take WRANPS to court. I began taping the conversation
with Donald Rafferty’s knowledge. He said he did not care if I was
taping the conversation because there was nothing I could do to stop him
from quitting. (Anyone wanting to hear the conversation please contact
me, and I will setup a hearing for you to listen to the tape [mccaleb5thdith@aol.com]). Next I contacted the
Mississippi Bar Association in Jackson, Mississippi at e-mail address (www.mslawyer.com).
I explained what had transpired, and the Mississippi Bar Association
sent me a complaint form to fill out and return. I filled out the form
and sent it back and waited several weeks for the findings. When the
letter came, and I read the findings I was very unhappy. The letter
stated that Donald Rafferty was not faulted for his actions. I was
unhappy not only about the Mississippi Bar Association and their
findings, but I was also unhappy about how the complaint form was
worded. Of course, I realize
the Mississippi Bar Association consists of attorneys who probably are
reluctant to investigate one of their own. Looking back to my telephone
conversation with Rafferty, I think he was unconcerned about my
complaint against him and taping of our conversation because he knew how
the Mississippi Bar Association would handle my complaint against him. My next step was to
request, in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, all
documents pertaining to the Bar’s investigation. So far, I have not
received any documents. I also filled out the appropriate forms with the
Small Claims Court in Gulfport, Mississippi, to have Rafferty return my
$1,000 since he did nothing for me and quit my case after eight months.
I was given a court date which was later changed. When I arrived at
Small Claims Court and walked into the courtroom, I noticed that I was
the only person there which suggested to me that this case was being
staged secretly instead of publicly, as is the usual way. Later Rafferty
and his attorney and law partner came in and handed me a counter claim
for another $1,000 dollars. So, here I am in Small Claims Court with a
judge, two bailiffs, Rafferty and his attorney/law partner, Whitmann.
Needless to say, I lost my case, and the judge awarded Donald Rafferty
the $1,000 he sought in his counter suit. Still trusting in our
legal system for justice, I hired another attorney, Channing Powell in
Gulfport, Mississippi. I again paid a retainer fee of $1,000 dollars up
front, but this time I did receive a receipt and signed a legal contract
stating that I would pay $85 dollars an hour for his services. After
hiring Powell, the waiting game started all over again. I kept calling
and requesting the status of the case; I also went to his office and
tried to find out the status. After waiting eleven months, Powell told
me he would phone WRANPS attorney, Reilly Morse. Powell reported to me
that WRANPS would settle by offering me $1,000. Talk about a slap in the
face, that was it. Lets review the
progress. WRANPS decided not to pay me the day the job was to be
completed. I hired Donald Rafferty, and he did nothing for eight months.
Next I hired Channing Powell who did nothing for eleven months. I waited
several months for the Mississippi Bar Association to investigate
attorney Donald Rafferty. Now, by this time the Statute of Limitation
had run out (two years). I conducted my own
investigation. I found out that when the Master Electrician, Gary Frank,
went to the Harrison County Code Office to obtain the necessary
electrical permit, he was told he could not obtain the permit because
there was no building at that location. This means that WRANPS had this
building erected without obtaining the necessary permit. I contacted
Marilyn McQueary about the problem, and she told me she would check into
it. Later she phoned me and stated that she had spoken with Tom Compton,
a physical sports instructor with the University of Southern
Mississippi, Long beach, Mississippi. Ms. McQueary stated that Compton
told her to go ahead and have the electrician wire the building, and he
would take care of the problem. So I explained this to Gary Frank, and
he wired the building but stated he would not wire the electrical panel
without a permit. It should be noted that I related to both attorneys
Rafferty and Powell what the Harrison County Code Office said about the
permit, but neither attorney acted upon the information. I spoke to Mr. Clark,
Director, Harrison County Code Office, and he told me that if there was
a building located at WRANPS, he would have the building torn down, and
if not torn down the building would never have electrical power hooked
up. This was stated to me three times by Clark. I took him for his word
and considered him to be an honest person; however, he was probably
overruled by political forces beyond his control. I left the project in
February of 1991 and by December 16, 1991 electrical power was hooked up
to the WRANPS building. When I learned this, I phoned and requested a
meeting at the Harrison County Code Office. The day I arrived at the
Code Office I was escorted to a room in the back of the building where
five people were sitting around a table. I was introduced to each
person. The first words out of Mr. Clark’s mouth were, "We cannot
seem to find the file on WRANPS." My question was how and why
electrical power was hooked up to the building without a building
permit. I questioned Clark about our three phone conversations when he
stated that either the building would be torn down or electrical power
would never be hooked up. Clark did not answer, but the man sitting at
the opposite end of the table stated that he gave approval for
electrical power to be hooked up to the building. He then threatened me
by saying, " If you are going to pursue this matter, you better go
for the jugular vein because that is what I aim to do." All I could
say is why was power hooked up to the building and again no answer from
Clark. It seemed obvious someone had gotten to Clark. The person who
threatened me placed his arm around my neck and walked me out to the
parking lot, then turned around and went back into the building. I then phoned the
Mississippi Power Company and spoke to Mr. Childers in Security. I
explained why I was calling, and he stated he would look into the matter
and get back to me. Mr. Childers called a while later and explained that
the Harrison County Code Office approved the electrical power hook-up on
December 16, 1991. I explained how WRANPS had not obtained the necessary
building permit thus causing Mr. Frank to be unable to obtain the
necessary electrical permit. Mr. Childers stated he had nothing to do
with the permits; only the Harrison County Code Office has the authority
to request and approve electrical power to be hooked up to a building. I
requested under the Freedom of Information Act from the Harrison County
Code Office, all documents showing how and why they approved electrical
power to be hooked up to the building, but to date I have received no
documents. I have e-mailed Mr.
Glen Waddle at the Mississippi Bar Association all of the information in
this web page. I have re-filed three complaint forms and have received
three docket numbers and three letters back from the Mississippi Bar
Association. Now I wait, how long I do not know, but I am certain the
three attorneys will not be faulted. I e-mailed Dr. Horace
Fleming, president of the University of Southern Mississippi in
Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The university owns the land on which WRANPS
is located. I explained how I could not understand how the university
could place itself in a position where they would be criticized for the
wrong doings of WRANPS. I have received an e-mail back from Dr. Fleming
in which he stated that he has been busy but will look into my request. I have contacted the
Sun Herald newspaper and WLOX-TV-13 on several occasions to investigate
everything I have placed in this Web Page. They refuse and will not even
acknowledge I have requested an investigation. I do not know why, but if
I had to guess, I would blame the political and legal fraternities
sticking together to protect their own. Surely a more objective group of
people other than fellow lawyers should investigate legal wrong doing. I have also contacted
the Attorney General, Mike Moore, and requested an investigation into
the Harrison County Code Office. I received a response that this was by
law not within their scope of investigation. I have requested several
investigations by the Attorney General’s Office only to be told,
"Not MY job," or words to that effect. I will be adding to
this Web Page as information is acquired. I welcome your comments or
questions. Please send this web page to everyone you know. I may never
retrieve my money or tools, but it would be satisfying if the attorneys
were disbarred or at least censored, the Harrison County Code Office
personnel were replaced with honest people, and the University of
Southern Mississippi moved WRANPS off of their land and had the
buildings torn down, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1998 I live about two city
blocks from the director of WLOX-13 and have noticed that his mansion
has hurricane damage and several of his pecan trees have been sucked out
of the ground. Normally I would feel sorry, but instead I think it could
not have happen to a better man. I can remember one other time he and I
spoke, and he was unresponsive to my request then also. I was the First
Commander of the Purple Heart Association here on the Gulf Coast,
Chapter 676, which was having a meeting at the American Legion in
Gulfport, Mississippi. I had called and requested coverage for this
meeting by WLOX-13 to show the Purple Heart Association was active on
the coast. I was assured by WLOX-13 that Ms. Wooten would cover the
meeting. On the day of the meeting I called to make sure Ms. Wooten
would be there on time. Again, I was assured she would be there. Ten
minutes prior to the start of the meeting I called again, and again was
assured she would be there. Ms. Wooten never showed up at all. The next
day I phoned WLOX-13 and complained; I was told that someone would get
back to me. Later in the day I received a call from the Director, Leon
Long, and he told me Ms. Wooten could not make the appointment because
something more important came up. I asked him what was more important,
but he did not know. His statement was this, "If the gulf caught on
fire that would be a big story," and I had to agree. In other words
he did not believe the Purple Heart Association was important enough to
give the Purple Heart Association coverage and be aired on his
television station. OCTOBER 2, 1998: I believe it is time to
get my request moving. I have waited for an answer to why the University
of Southern Mississippi allowed the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Nature
Preservation Society (WRANPS) to erect a building on their property.
According to Mr. Clark, Director Harrison County Code Office, the reason
the electrician was not able to obtain the proper electrical permits was
because WRANPS/USM did not obtain the necessary building permit. The
University of Southern Mississippi owns the land on which the building
in question is located. I requested this same information in 1992, but
never could get a straight answer. The three attorneys,
Donald Rafferty, Channing Powell, and Reilly Morse the attorney for
WRANPS, involved in this case were aware of this because I explained the
situation to them. Even though I did not personally explain about the
building permit not being obtained Morse should have known. So let’s
get the ball rolling. I know the land is or
was owned by the University of Southern Mississippi when the building
was erected, and you know the land is or was owned by USM. I want
justice; I have already been cheated out of money, profit, and tools.
Justice is all that is left; I now know how a conspiracy works and how
powerful our state and local governments are. Apparently we have the
best public officials money can buy which also confirms the saying that
power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I have sent a request
to the Mississippi Bar Association through claim forms that attorneys
Donald Rafferty, Channing Powell, and Reilly Morse be disbarred from
ever practicing law again. This is my second request on Donald Rafferty.
I am not going away, I will sit here and write letters everyday until I
feel justice has been served. Have you spoken to Tom
Compton? He is or was in charge of your Physical Education. Department
here in Long Beach. He is the person who stated to Marilyn McQueary that
the electrician could go ahead and wire the building without a permit.
He must have known someone either at Mississippi Power Company or the
Harrison County Code Office. I will be writing to
you several times a week regarding my requests until I am provided
answers. I am sorry it has come to this, but you should be in my
position. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16,
1998 I have been requesting
that the Attorney General’s Office investigate this matter but am told
I should hire and attorney because it's a legal matter. I take exception
to the Attorney General telling me that the expense and trouble of
hiring an attorney to correct this injustice is up to me alone. It may
not be the Attorney General’s responsibility to investigate the
Harrison County Code Office, but it is his responsibility to assign an
agency responsible for investigating wrong doing by a government office. I have sent several
letters to the Harrison County Building Code Office requesting copies of
the Building Permit, Electrical Permit, and all documents provided to
the Mississippi Power Company which hooked up the power to the WRANPS
building December 6, 1991 with a release number of 34709. These have
been requested through the "Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983
and the Freedom of Information Act of 1966." The Harrison County
Code Office will not even recognize my request for the information
requested. NOVEMBER 17, 1998: Please be advised that
in accordance with the Bar's policy, the file compiled with respect to
the above-referenced docket number and its contents will be destroyed
one (1) year from the date of this letter. Consequently, if you want to
keep a copy of this file for your records, it will be necessary for you
to request a copy of the same and pay the copying cost involved. In
addition, if you want us to return any of the documents you provided us,
you MUST REQUEST return of the specific documents within ONE (1) YEAR
from the date of this letter. If you do not request a return of
documents, all documents in the file will be destroyed. THIS IS
IMPORTANT AND YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU WANT ANY
DOCUMENT OUT OF THE FILE OR A COPY OF THE FILE. We are sending a copy
of this letter to the above-named attorney as notification of the formal
dismissal and disposition of this complaint by the Committee as well as
notifying the attorney of the Bar's intention to destroy the file after
expiration of one (1) year from the date of this letter. The same
request for information and/or documents processed will apply to the
accused attorney. Tommy E.
Furby, Chairman I request copies of all
documents concerning there investigation, but I have never received any
copies. Therefore I can only conclude that their was never an
investigation conducted. Attorneys should never investigate
attorneys, it is a rigged deal. PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR
ANY ATTORNEY!! IMPORTANT
INFORMATION: Steven A. McCaleb The Wildlife
Rehabilitation and Nature Preservation Society, known as (WRANPS),
located in Pass Christian, on University of Southern Mississippi land in
Harrison County erected a building without a building permit then had
the Harrison County Code Office allow the Mississippi Power Company on
December 6, 1991, release number 34709, to hook up power without
obtaining the necessary electrical permit. This is corruption, and I
have notified everyone in Mississippi I can think of, but none of my
responses have been dealt with. Please read my Web Page, it will explain
how corrupt and how deep a conspiracy can go in the state of
Mississippi. 10/02/98 MR. HORACE FLEMING Dr. Fleming: Thank you, STEVEN A. McCALEB |
