Casework

You don’t need to be an attorney to understand the information written below. In fact, it was written in simple terms specifically so that average persons who understand basic English can understand it. Although there are legal terms cited herein, simply click on them to read the definition. If you are frustrated with widespread government corruption, you will likely find this page an informative, useful, and applicable read. Additionally, you may be eligible to join the class action suit.

You might choose to consult an attorney about this in order to weigh the feasibility of this case, and it is possible that the attorney will try to cast doubt in you, and tell you that this case will never go through. Please consider, however, that the attorney might have a conflict of interest they’re not telling you about. They might not be giving you advice that is in your best interest. If an attorney just wants to cast doubt instead of pitch in, stick up for human rights, and work to make sure this case is successful – you might want to consider not trusting them further than I can throw them! Please read on and learn.

On March 31, 2025 I filed Wilson et al v. Trump et al to obtain redress for several classes of persons. It is sad this has to happen, however instead of working on plans to improve the quality of life for Iowans, politicians across the state chose to focus on violating rights to appease lobbyists and special interest groups.  Causes of action for each class of persons is as follows:

i. Violation of abortion rights due to the passing of HF 732. READ MORE. 

ii. Homeless Des Moines residents who are being threatened, ticketed, arrested, and have been having their property bulldozed due to an anti-camping provision added to Ord. 16,382 last fall. Meanwhile zoning approval for Joppa’s Tiny Home Village has repeatedly been blocked by the same City Council who amended the ordinance in order to sic police and on homeless people, and terrorizing them with threats of jail and bulldozers. READ MORE.

iii. Transgender and nonbinary Iowans who are no longer safe in Iowa due to the passing of SF 418. The passing of this code – a blatant violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241 Conspiracy against rights – represents a continuing conspiracy which has been ongoing since 2019. READ MORE.

iv. Iowa’s blatantly-unconstitutional School Voucher Program is being used to siphon public tax dollars into private, religious institutions. READ MORE.

v. Additional sections of the suit have to do with severe injustices I have experienced over the years as a direct result of discrimination. This included remaining homeless and afraid to return to Iowa for approximately eight years following an off-the-record warning by and Ames police officer to leave the state for my safety.

To Combat Government Corruption,
We the People must harness Our Justice System

As you’ve noticed, legal terms on this webpage are hyperlinked to their corresponding definitions, found on www.ReUniteTheStates.org. I spent many years building that website, transcribing and organizing thousands of legal term definitions using law dictionaries recommended on the pro se section on the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (aka “the People’s Court“) website, including  Black’s Law Dictionary and Ballentine’s Law Dictionary. Although every courthouse across the country appears to have a self-help webpage for “pro se litigants“, or people who represent themselves in court, some of these webpages are much better than others. Others appear rather unhelpful and restrictive. Although there are a wide variety of motions you can file in court, these are rarely mentioned on courthouse websites, which instead seem to contain just a few types of cookie-cutter forms to help you get started for simple cases, but if you restrict yourselves to those, you’ll get buried by any experienced attorney. 

So anyway, many of the self-help sections recommend Black’s Law Dictionary, named after Henry Campbell Black. Henry was educated at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. He received a bachelor’s degree in 1880 and a master’s in 1887, and was admitted to practice law in 1883. But in the late 1880s, he abandoned active practice and Pennsylvania, instead pouring through books and case law to research legal term definitions, eventually compiling what would become the definitive law dictionary in the United States. The first edition was published in 1891. According to Tarlton Law Library, although First Edition was shorter than Bouvier’s law dictionary, Black’s eclipsed all competitors with the release of Second Edition in 1910. He was given an honorary doctor of laws by his alma mater Trinity College in 1917.

[paragraph to be added]

For approximately 15 years I have been diligently studying law as a form of self-defense, with a particular interest in prosecuting color of law crimes and obtaining redress for corresponding torts. Due to the fact that I am not an attorney, the two cases I’m currently working overtime on (without pay and living in a vehicle, squeaking by financially thanks to occasional donations by concerned friends who know what’s going on) were filed in propria persona, or pro se (learn more). Now, you may be reminded of the old adage, “The [person] who represents [themselves] has a fool for a client,” however:

1. I’ve contacted more than 50 attorneys throughout Iowa – and some outside Iowa – and could not find representation. The cheapest quote I got was “$5000 up front, $275/hr.” which of course was far beyond what I can afford. According to a study performed by The Justice Gap in 2022, low-income Americans do not get any or enough legal help for 92% of their substantial civil legal problems;
2. Legal aid organizations such as Iowa Legal Aid, Legal Aid of Story County, ISU Student Legal Services, and other free legal clinics throughout the United States are generally very limited in the types of cases they are authorized to handle; most may not assist with “fee-generating cases” because they are funded by Legal Services Corporation and therefore are subject to restrictive provisions within Title 45, Ch. XVI of the Code of Federal Regulations;
3. Everybody plays the fool sometimes.

Although I am currently pursuing my law doctorate for the purpose of cause lawyering, due to extraordinary circumstances, I am essentially being “pushed out of the nest” and forced to fly or die.

clicking on the legal terms reading their definitions, and by carefully reading the statutes (sections of United States Code and case law, and using www.ReUniteTheStates.org to look up any legal terms you’re unsure of, and points in history which bring this suit into context collectively implicate, it will undoubtedly lead toward a new segment in American history wherein “liberty and justice for all” may begin to have actual meaning instead of merely being a slogan which does not align with our de facto circumstances, as it has been for far too long.

In short, this suit will lead toward large sums of money being peaceably and legally slammed out of the accounts of those who have caused and are currently attempting to cause additional harm, and instead into the accounts of those whom the defendants have harmed and/or currently appear prima facie to be actively engaged toward attempting to cause harm. 

This is the real manifest destiny of our country – not conquest, but rather a nation of justice for all, where everyone everyone knows the law and knows exactly how to obtain redress if they were to be harmed, so much so that it is likely people simply will not attempt to harm others because (a) there will be no need to, because we are moving society from a place of scarcity to abundance very soon, and (b) because the risk for liability and possible prison time will be too high once people not only know the law, but also how to enforce their rights and the laws through the courts. This is because we’re open sourcing the justice system: in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “The People are the Rightful Masters of the Courts and Congress – not to overthrow the people who uphold the Constitution, but those who pervert it.“

A Better Plan than that of the Oppressors

The two new pieces of technology, the Wild Living Skills App™ and Gardens Across Iowa! App™ (which will be used to develop the Gardens Across America! App™ and Gardens Across Earth! App™), in context with the national plan and (replicable) state platform – as well as that which Wild Willpower PAC has behind-the-scenes has been in development for years – will soon come into view. I assure you: even those who sought or seek to cause harm will soon realize that they have more to benefit from the new plan than they did from any current insidious plan and/or agenda which might be sought by the power-hungry.

Prepare to Learn about Government, History, Law,
and Color of Law Crimes

Before we get started, here is some basic information about how the U.S. justice system is supposed to be designed, and why some of the laws I am citing in this case exist in the first place. It appears there is a severe lacking of knowledge about the law throughout society today, and based upon more than a decade of dedicated study, I think it is very important to impart this knowledge as best I can. One major reason that this is very important is that so many people who are protesting today – crying out for help as the country is in crisis – seem to not know much about the laws I tend to cite, or how to have them applied through the system.

Many believe that the government is irreparably corrupt and cannot be made just – that officials will simply choose not to enforce the laws, because “they are all corrupt”, we so often hear. 

However, I have travelled all over this country for many years, and have talked to a lot of officers in many different states. There have been several occasions where Police Officers or County Sheriffs have been called to kick the “suspicious person” off of a property – whether it was while petitioning in front of a strip mall or flying a sign toward traffic to direct people to www.WildWillpower.org. In these experiences, I have never met an Officer who knew about any of the laws that are cited within this case, and these laws are particularly relevant to what is going on in the State of Iowa and around the country right now. They are specifically designed to hold government officials accountable, and they even authorize lower-ranked officers to arrest higher-ranked officers or officials – all the way up to the President. Now, you may be thinking, “But Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. 593 (2024) says the President has absolute immunity! We can’t do anything!” But I assure you that you and many others have merely been misled: a key difference in the case I filed on March 31, 2025 is that both the criminal charges and class action petition were filed against the “natural persons” – such as Kim Reynolds and Donald Trump – not merely against their titles or roles. Although this may seem like a minor and inconsequential thing to point out, it is actually a crucial difference in law, which you will see as we continue on.

Now let’s look as a particular set of laws which were originally designed specifically to hold natural persons who use the color (appearance) of law, in order to deprive people of their rights.

page in making. please check back soon.

You don’t need to be an  18 U.S.C. § 242 Deprivation of rights under color of law. Read it carefully, and read about the legal term “color of law“. While many people believe that the only way to obtain justice is to try to overthrow the government or vote our way out of this mess, there is another way too: utilizing the United States (federal) Courts to enforce various provisions of law within the United States Code which are specifically designed to hold government officials accountable when they pass unjust laws which are used to deprive people of their rights. Color of law codes such as 18 U.S.C. § 241 and 18 U.S.C. § 242 were passed pursuant to the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.

United States Codes (abbreviated U.S.C.) are generally enforced via filing a complaint with the United States District Attorney’s Office and the United States District (federal) Court, and not via the local police. Local police, however, can accept a complaint from a Citizen and then forward it to the appropriate authorities who have jurisdiction over the matter. Additionally, arrests for federal crimes can be made by local authorities if they have probable cause, so that the person in custody may be transferred to the appropriate authorities for processing.

Before we get started, here is an educational video to help you better understand how the U.S. government is designed. Although the video emphasizes the design, structure, and underlying purpose of a republic, the United States is in fact a democratic-republic. I believe that both the Democratic and Republican Parties have lost sight of this, and it we would do well to remember that the majority rule is counterbalanced by the rule of law (the republic), and that a republic without direction guided by the will of the people becomes stagnant and unable to respond to a changing and evolving world:

I don’t enjoy having to ask for donations like this at all, however at this time I am unable to work because 100% of my time is dedicated to casework and school: it is overtime work with no pay. I have no choice, however, because as you will see there is far too much at stake if I don’t perform this casework: it is for my protection and the safety of others.

About the Student Author (and pro se litigant)

I am not a BAR Attorney and therefore, by definition, am not an “officer of the court“, nor am I engaged in what is called the “practice of law“. Rather, I am a pre-law student at  Iowa State University (entrepreneurship major, music minor) whose semester at Iowa State University was sabotaged by a group of individuals who violated 18 U.S.C. § 241 Conspiracy against rights (and other federal laws) and whom I intend to hold personally liable in accordance with 42 U.S.C. § 1985 Conspiracy to interfere with civil rights. Because I have been unable to afford or find an attorney, I’ve had no choice but to handle the two cases I’m involved with by myself lest I face severe consequences caused by the criminals and tortfeasors who harmed and continue to cause harm to me.

I’ve absolutely had enough.

Backstory

For the sake of brevity, I’m leaving a lot of information out here, but this will give a pretty good overview to bring the two ongoing cases into context.

I was raised in Nevada, Iowa, and around puberty began showing intersex characteristics which I became privately very ashamed of due to the religious views and political culture I was raised into. After graduating high school in 2000 I learned that medical care existed, and ended up in the psyche ward more than once because I was mentally and emotionally going through the ringer trying to make sense, through a Christian lens, what was going on with me, and I did not feel safe expressing to anyone about what I was going through and that I wanted to seek medical help. Because of the diagnoses I received, which to this day I believe were incorrect, I strongly suspected that if I told people about this they would have wrongly believed that what I was feeling was an expression of other psychological symptoms.

So, in 2002 I gave away my possessions and began hitchhiking the country with a guitar, much like Alexander Supertramp, to try to learn to live in the wilderness and get away from society’s expectations and demands, and find out what I truly believed. If I lived a more pure life, away from media and outside influence, would these thoughts go away? Not only did I want to get in touch with my natural self, I didn’t want anything to do with war; inspired by songs like Imagine, Perfect Sense, the Fixin’-to-Die-Rag, Masters of War, and several others, to write protest music. Due to the political atmosphere following September 11, I seemed to be about the only person opposed to war, and concerned that it did not appear our country was even trying for peace.

In spring 2003 I had the great fortune of meeting Richard Lonewolf, who for years taught me all sorts of ethnobotanical and wilderness survival skills. These skills helped to keep me alive after I left later that year and began living on the streets of Los Angeles until 2005, where I was able to find medical support. I won’t get into it now, but there were many spiritual experiences I had during this time, but in the awake world and during dreams. I was eating mostly just raw foods at the time, practicing yoga and Qi Gong meditation (which I learned at ISU years earlier), street performing and writing songs, foraging wild plants around the city and from along Highway 1, and writing a rock & roll opera I was working on at the time (which one day I hope to finish).

In 2005 I transferred to (section in making)

n 2010 I returned to find him, a disabled U.S. Army Veteran in poor health, with almost no food in the cupboards, and not receiving his due military benefits. From that point forward I dedicated years documenting and learning alongside him, creating www.RichardLonewolf.com (because the school he founded was taken from him, long story short) and www.WildWillpower.org: a separate organization designed to help lift up and sponsor rare Native American teachers who still possessed these amazing and very important skills, because it appeared there was no organization in the country designed to do this. I knew that he couldn’t be the only one. In 2016 we finished writing a textbook called More Valuable Than Gold, which Wild Willpower PAC is currently seeking funds to get it printed via a local Ames business called Heuss Printing.

When not documenting and learning alongside Lonewolf, much of my time learning to identify and learning uses for hundreds of species of lichens and mushrooms alongside the California Lichen Society and Mycological Society of San Francisco. These experiences led to to invent and begin developing the Wild Living Skills App™; one of its functions is to help Citizens coordinate with forest officials so that we can legally harvest natural forest products via the creation of wildharvesting cooperatives.

My friend Kevin Byrd hitchhiked with me and helped keep me alive as I worked diligently to develop Wild Willpower PAC, www.RichardLonewolf.com, and lay the groundwork to build the App on www.WildLivingSkills.org. I also built www.KernRiverCoop.com so we (page in making. 4/20/2025)

While some people in Ames are familiar with what they did to me in 2022, many do not know how they have continued to harm me since. Sabotaging my semester at Iowa State University this semester was the final straw. I am currently drafting documents to get this case transferred to the federal court, and will be pressing federal criminal charges. Because this clique of friends appear to have shared interest in Lockwood Café, Reliable Street Inc, and Love Club LLC during the time of the original accrual of the cause of action, generally I call this the “Lockwood/Reliable Case”; it is important to note, however, that there are many good-natured people involved with those businesses who had nothing to do with what these five individuals, in collusion with Paul Esker, have done and continue to do to me. It needs to end, and they need to be held accountable. FULL STORY.

Introduction

The below timeline details casework pertaining to numerous injustices I’ve faced over the years which led me to having the knowledge to be able to file the following two current, ongoing cases. many parts of my life story, as well as The public broadcasting of my story and these cases is being done for legitimate First Amendment purposes for the sake of my own personal safety and in the interest of the advancement of human rights. Names are not redacted because I have absolutely had it with the  abuses I have suffered this lifetime, and the secrecy that people everywhere seem to demand, especially when they have harmed others yet still want their names kept secret. Names are also left unredacted in case something happens to me – so that investigators know who to interrogate.

Undoubtedly, as seems to be the nature of humanity currently, there will be people who come forward, claiming to know “the real story” about me: they might slander my name, bear false witness against me, and try to harm my reputation. Because I am a woman who happens to be transgender, there will likely even be perverse allegations designed solely to cause me harm. However, I am also certain that other people – who may have been afraid to come forward previously – will speak to the truth about me. 

 I am an entrepreneurship major at Iowa State University, and I own the rights to this story, however it is being made public because I think, as will become evident, my life should probably be turned into a movie. Upon my death or incapacitation, all Rights, Finances, Authority to Delegate, etc. shall be placed into a Living Trust managed by The Council, who can be contacted via [email protected].

And now, without further adieu, here is a timeline of my life story, as well as casework, which led up to the filing of Operation: Magna Carta II and the Lockwood/Reliable case which, due to a recent sabotage of my semester at Iowa State University by the defendants, I am working to get transferred out of Story County and instead into the federal court.

Timeline

After graduating from Nevada High School in 2000, a series of peculiar events which I cannot chalk up to mere coincidence occurred, leading me to live a very unique path in life. Some of the events included:

1. My father, Herb Wilson, had a heart attack;
2. A trusted friend, Josh Warren, asked me if he could drive my Dad’s truck for a moment because he “wanted to show me something.” After telling him, “No,” he repeatedly insisted and told me to trust him. Caving, I suppose, I asked him three questions: (1) “Is it safe?”, (2) “Is it against the law?”, and (3) “Will it endanger my Dad’s truck in any way?” He assured me on all three counts that it did not violate any of those three premises, so I gave him the keys to see what he wanted to show me.
3. Being nearly beaten to death by about twenty-five young men in Gilbert, Iowa, who chased me down in a truck and car one evening in autumn 2001, through a corn field, beat me with sticks and repeatedly kicked me, then attempted to force me into their vehicle and assured me that I was “not going to live through the night”. Thankfully, after all but one had piled back into their vehicles, as one young man commanded me to “Get in” to the middle rear seat of the car, I pushed him into the car door and ran past the tree line to where their vehicles could not go. I was so full of adrenaline that I Forest Gumped over a barbed-wire fence and walked through the ditch back to Ames, ducking in the grass each time a set of headlights appeared.

Once that is in order: fireworks – I promise!!

because instead the most urgent priority in life right now is conveying clearly what is going on with Operation Magna Carta II, and how my spring semester at Iowa State University got sabotaged by a group of criminals. Because of what this group of individuals did, I am in need to take a medical leave of absence, due to mental health and real-world safety concerns, in relation to me being a transgender woman while living in a society that has some maturing to do when it comes to treating others how you would want to be treated.
