We are Karen Audrey Gibbs and John Frederick Carten and we are the Plaintiffs in the first judicial political conspiracy case in Canadian legal history.  However, somebody appears to be killing the judges who conspired against us.  There are now twelve dead judges and, at least, upwards of 28 other dead witnesses.  Some died in circumstances that suggest they were murdered.   Click here read more about how these people died at The Graveyard of the Guilty. 
  

Karen Audrey Gibbs, a citizen of Canada and Ireland.  She is the mother of five children, a grandmother, a legal secretary and a nurse.  She has been followed, spied on, her telephones have been monitored, all her assets stolen by British Columbian and Canadian government agents.  She and her young family were traumatized and thrown into chaos by the deliberate attacks of agents of the Governments of Canada and British Columbia acting through Canada’s politically controlled court system.

Ms. Gibbs became an enemy of the Canadian state because she was seen to be assisting and collaborating with Mr. Carten.

One of her children served in Afghanistan for the same Government of Canada that attacked their mother.  During her nursing career, Karen Gibbs has worked in a number of hospitals and in private practice for selected patients.  When she met Mr. Carten, in 1993, Ms. Gibbs had no idea that she and her children would soon become the targets of a viscous and barbaric attack by agents of insiders with the Governments of Canada and British Columbia who attacked her because they believed that she was assisting Mr. Carten with his living and working arrangements. In late 1995, the ex-husband of Ms. Gibbs initiated a lawsuit against her in Calgary, Alberta, a city 900 miles distant, claiming custody of her three sons.   The ex-husband admitted in court the lawsuit was a legal tactic adopted with the legal advice of Robert Boyden, a Calgary lawyer, to avoid paying arrears of child support. 

 The lawsuit gave the insiders with the Government of Canada the opportunity to use their hand picked judges against her and, in 1996, Ralph Hutchinson, sitting in Nanaimo, ordered that she must litigate the custody case in the courts of Alberta and not the courts of British Columbia where the family lived, where the divorce was granted, and where she had a Registered Settlement filed in the BC courts granting her sole custody of her children.  This decision caused great financial hardship for Ms. Gibbs and her children because she now had to sell her home and move to Calgary Alberta, a city 900 miles distant, so that she could properly retain and instruct lawyers and make necessary court attendances.  Ms. Gibbs owned her home as co-owner with a private investor, who, sensing that she had financial troubles, tried to steal her interest in the home through a fraudulent legal action.

When Mr. Carten attempted to assist Ms. Gibbs in her legal action with the private investor, the presiding judge, Mr. Justice Ross Lander, threatened to put Mr. Carten in jail if he argued a point on Ms. Gibbs behalf, and the house was, consequently, sold to the co-investor at a price well below market value without the opportunity to put it on the market.  When it was calculated that there was over $25,000 left over after payment of the mortgage, BC Supreme Court Master John Horn and BC Supreme Court Justice Douglas Halfyard, agents of the Government of Canada, made a series of decisions that deprived Ms. Gibbs of any of her legal interest in the sale proceeds.  She didn’t get one cent of the $25,000.  

When she went to Alberta to fight the lawsuit for custody of her sons, Ms. Gibbs found that the judicial mafia in Alberta were able to manipulate the court system in Alberta and continue their attack on her in that province also.   Because her children wanted to live with her and not with their father, Ms. Gibbs eventually obtained custody of her children but, in order to make sure she was financially destitute, the Alberta judge, Madam Justice Adele Kent, ordered her to pay to legal costs and refused to order her ex-husband to pay legal costs even though she proved the lawsuit was started for a fraudulent purpose and she had won the lawsuit.   The normal practice in Canada is for the judges to Order that the party who loses in a lawsuit pay legal costs of the winner.  Although she was clearly the winner, Judge Kent refused to make the usual order that the loser, her ex-husband, pay legal costs and she was ordered to pay costs to him instead, the party who lost his application.

The court rules in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench permit a party to appeal an Order for costs  if that party obtains leave to appeal from a different judge of the court.    
When she asked for leave to appeal the issue of costs, the Government of Canada inserted Madam Justice Barbara Romaine, appointed to the bench by then Justice Minister Anne McLellan, into the case who then denied Mr. Gibbs leave to appeal.  The body language of Madam Justice Romaine betrayed her motives.   In previous cases that morning she had been compassionate, reasonable and acted in a manner consistent with legal practice and procedure.

  However, when Ms. Gibbs case was called, Ms. Romaine visibly adjusted herself in her seat, leaned forward aggressively and adopted an aggressive, hostile and overbearing attitude.  Ms. Gibbs submitted the case law that clearly supported her position that she should be granted leave to appeal.  She also submitted proof that Mr. Boyden, the lawyer, and her ex-husband had filed the law suit for a fraudulent purpose, that is, as a tactic to avoid payment of arrears of child support.  Justice Romaine refused to follow the law and denied the application .  This was part of the strategy of the Government of Canada to impoverish Ms. Gibbs so she would not be able to pay Mr. Carten for any of the legal work he had done for her. 

It was not until some years later that Mr. Carten learned that Madam Justice Barbara Romaine had been a partner with McCarthy Tetrault when that firm was secretly assisting insider trading that was connected to the bulk water export crimes and that Barbara Romaine was also the first judicial appointment in Alberta by Anne McLellan when she became justice minister for Prime Minister Chretien. 

The judicial mafia in Calgary were blatantly abusive.
 
When Ms. Gibbs applied to court to rectify an $560.00 error on a Court Order, her case was artfully removed from the usual courtroom where these kinds of applications were customarily made and put before   Mr. Justice Sal Lovecchio, a former member of Calgary’s most prestigious law firm, Bennett Jones, who had been appointed to the bench by Prime Minister Jean Chretien. 

In a disgraceful display of judicial abusiveness, Mr. Justice Lovecchio flat out refused to make a rectification to what had been a clear error by opposing legal counsel when Ms. Gibbs had the proof in the form of the court clerks notes obtained from the court.  
It was a few years later that the involvement of  Bennett Jones in the bulk water issues became apparent and Mr. Justice Lovecchio is a defendant in this case because we now have good reason to suspect he was following instructions which would make him part of an illegal judicial conspiracy.

The Associate Chief of the Alberta Court of Queens Bench, Donald Wilkins, also decided to play a role in the case against Ms. Gibbs by making an order that he was “seized ” of her case.  When a judge “seizes” himself of a case that means that only he or she can hear applications on that case. 

The Order of Justice Wilkins was patently ridiculous and Ms. Gibbs and her children returned to British Columbia to escape the clutches of the “gangsters” on the bench in Alberta.  
In British Columbia, she went into hiding in a women’s shelter and tried to re-organize her family life that had been destroyed by judicial agents of the Government of Canada.  
The story of the attack on Ms. Gibbs and her children by agents of the Government of Canada working in the court system, is set out in further detail in the Statement of Claim.  (Claim not yet uploaded onto website.) 

In addition to the abuse by selected judges, during the period since she met Mr. Carten, Ms. Gibbs was subjected to multiple and unprecedented audits by Revenue Canada and Legal-Aid in BC, and her telephone lines were monitored by CSIS or other government agents.
When she moved to Kelowna, Ms. Gibbs saw that she was being watched by unknown persons in a black SUV, with darkened windows sitting close to the end of her driveway on several occasions.   She approached the vehicle to ask the occupant if she could help them and the vehicle then started up and drove away.
 
When Ms. Gibbs sought mental health support from the Government run medical system in British Columbia, she was refused treatment because she continued to speak openly in the treatment program about the government corruption she and Mr. Carten had encountered and uncovered.  

Ms. Gibbs states that she is very protective of her children and if anything happens to any of them,  she will know who is harming them and will do everything in her legal power to protect them.  This is a warning to those who are named as defendants, especially Mr. Chretien who seems to think he can do anything he wants to anyone despite the law !!!  “Whoa be unto him who slights me and my kin”, she states very firmly !!!  She also states that “Maybe Canadian law doesn’t work, but the Law of Cause and Effect (aka Karmic Law) works 100% of the time, on 100 % of the population, regardless of their presumed power and control,   Mr. Chretien, and nobody would want to be in your shoes right now or in the future”.  The Law of Cause and Effect is hell !

Ms. Gibbs states: 

John Frederick Carten is a Canadian citizen, the father of two children, a skilled lawyer, a graduate of two of the most prestigious Canadian universities.  He is a former elected Councillor with the Town of Comox, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, a former Rotarian, a former president of the Comox Valley Bar Association, a former director of the Vancouver Island Regional Library, a former director of the Comox Courtenay Sewage Treatment Commission,a former director of the Comox Valley Society for Handicapped Persons, a former member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and a former member of the Comox Bay Sailing Club.Mr. Carten has appeared before Provincial Court, the Supreme Court and Court of Appealfor British Columbia.   He has acted on cases before administrative tribunals and argued cases in Canada’s Federal Court, Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.  He has prepared submissions for the United Nations Human Rights Commission.  His success on the case of Shanks v. McNee was estimated to have prevented the BC Government owned Insurance Corporation of British Columbia from stealing $30 million per year from disabled persons.  The case he initiated to challenge the British Columbia Government tax on legal services, John Carten Personal Law Corporation v HMTQ (BC),although not successful, is widely regarded as one of the leading cases on “access to justice” in the British Commonwealth.

Having committed no crimes, Mr. Carten was jailed twice by the Governments of Canada andBritish Columbia, his business was destroyed by Government actions, he is effectively barred from practicing law in British Columbia, where he successfully practiced for 22 years from 1977 to 1999,

because he blew the whistle on political and judicial corruption in Canada.

Governments in Canada have slandered and libelled his reputation.  He is prevented from filing legal claims on his own behalf in the British Columbia courts.  When summoned to court, in British Columbia, he is prevented from calling witnesses and denied the right to present evidence.  Judges in British Columbia have fixed cases against him and his clients in order to undermine his economic survival. 

Mr. Carten represented Sun Belt Water Inc. in its claim against Canada under NAFTA in a case where Canadian political, legal, and judicial insiders, secretly and illegally, broke Canadian law and the Free Trade Agreement as part of a scheme to enrich themselves with Canada’s public assets.Mr. Carten is the only lawyer in Canada who speaks honestly and openly about the judicial mafia, and the judicial, legal and political corruption that has become systemic in Canada’sgovernment structures.

Mr. Carten provides legal knowledge, intelligence and wisdom, to selected clients throughout Canada and other parts of the world and is available for consultations.

We are telling this story because we don’t think those people who abused their positions of power and trust should be able to fade away without some accountability for their actions.

We are telling this story to support and validate our lawsuit in Canada’s Federal Court

We have personally named, as Defendants in our Federal Court of Canada lawsuit, many of those who we believe participated in the conspiracy against us because we want them to pay and not the Canadian taxpayers.

Some have paid with their lives and more may die and that is the price you pay for doing harm to others.

We also want to alert Canadians and anyone thinking of visiting or investing in or doing business in Canada how Canada’s governments and its “legal and judicial mafia” operates so they can avoid becoming victims of a very dangerous criminal organization that operates inside the structures of government in Canada.

We hope that other Canadians who have been victims of the same “legal and judicial mafia” take courage from our web site and publish their stories also.

The mainstream Canadian media will not tell this story.

The CBC, the Globe and Mail, the Canwest Newspaper Chain and other mainstream media  have consistently covered up the judicial and political corruption aspects of the bulk water export issue so that average Canadians are kept in the dark.

However, in the age of the Internet, dirty politicians, their dirty judges, crooked civil servants and their cronies or supporters who wish to loot public assets and abuse their positions of trust and power are finding that their crimes soon catch up to them and this web site is part of that process.
