Unfortunately updates have been lacking due to simply working on too much at once. This is prompting me to start recording a simple update video to discuss some of what is happening, and what is being prepared for the near future. This post is just a brief overview.
Work has been extremely busy. My previous success from the project I was loaned out to another company on resulted in getting pushed into UUV work. I've even been informed of yet another project my name has been submitted for. Being busy is far from a complaint here, as sudden loss of a major contract has resulted in some problems at the office. I was lucky to have ended up being switched to another department long before that hit. I've been told the department I previously worked for when starting with this company has about five people left in it - three of which are managers. I'll get into a little more detail in the update video I've been recording.
As for the legal front.
The blog now has a domain name redirect - michelledickerman.com. This was a required step to begin using cloudflare to filter out a great deal of bot traffic that had been flooding the blog. These bots weren't doing anything damaging to the site as far as I could tell, but I was tired of seeing blogger's analytics being flooded by the false hits. Eventually the michelledickerman.com domain will redirect to the main website at michellemanweiler.com when the time comes to sunset the blog. In regards to the main site, I've been working on the other pages for it in the background and will publish them when they are ready.
Also, I ran into a cloudflare issue when using Safari and Brave browsers that I hadn't been aware of. Everything showed up fine for me on firefox, but I had never tested it on Brave or Safari. That was my mistake. I've temporarily switched some things off to allow viewing on other browsers until I fully correct the issue.
The primary video that will go into a few things related to John Dickerman is still being edited - though John Dickerman won't be the only subject discussed in the video. This video is being done alongside a video discussing the likelihood of Michelle Dickerman having what is referred to as Vulnerable Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I don't have experience editing videos and working software related to content creation so this unfortunately eats up more time than I would have liked.
My primary focus however has been the FOIA request I'm putting together. This is part of my escalation, as I will be pressing this dispute until it goes public one way or the other. This will be filed with the police and District Attorney's office in Charlottesville, and relates to the investigation of my blog that took place after Michelle Dickerman made contact with them. I will be accusing Charlottesville law enforcement - and Warner Chapman and Joseph Platania specifically - of committing a coverup and railroading back in 2006. I will obviously go over my evidence of Michelle's criminal acts, and I will even discuss the information I have about her father's potential involvement in the case behind the scenes.
The primary focus of this FOIA however is getting all documentation related to Michelle Dickerman's contact with them post-2006. I'm not looking for the 2006 criminal case emails. I'll worry about getting those another time. For the post-2006 investigation however, Charlottesville had no jurisdiction to investigate any crime related to the blog (which no crime even took place for there to be an investigation), and thus Charlottesville used tax payer resources as a personal favor for Michelle Dickerman.
Michelle Dickerman, according to her own LinkedIn profile, was no longer a resident of Charlottesville in September of 2006 - when she began working for a law firm based in Washington DC. I have never been a resident of Charlottesville and Michelle Dickerman ceased being one in 2006. Yet years later Charlottesville law enforcement used tax payer resources to benefit a woman who hadn't been a resident of the city in years. They did this when no crime had taken place in Charlottesville's jurisdiction, as evidenced by the fact they never took it further than going over my blog.
Given that Rudman clearly download a page of the blog to sort through the website code on a non-internet connected computer, and Michelle Dickerman first began attempting to obscure her views of the blog after this event - it appears Charlottesville's purpose was to instruct Michelle Dickerman in covertly viewing the blog. That's not an acceptable use of tax payer money, and I'm willing to bet the news agencies I send copies of the FOIA request to will agree on that statement.
My intention is to force Charlottesville's hand on a few things here. For one, in order to claim they don't have to provide that documentation to me under the VA legal code they claimed for the emails and files from the 2006 court case - Charlottesville would have to admit they conducted a criminal investigation post-2006. Given no crime took place, no crime occurred in Charlottesville's jurisdiction, and Michelle Dickerman hadn't been a resident of the city in years - this is not an admission Charlottesville wants to make. They would have to either admit they abused tax payer resources for a personal favor for Dickerman, or they have to give me the appropriate documentation. Since I'm going to send out copies of this FOIA to local Virginia news stations as well as national news stations, I imagine someone out there will want to see what Charlottesville's response to this accusation will be.
I also will plainly state in the FOIA that my intention is also to further gather evidence against Joseph Platania to use against his qualified immunity in court. I believe I already have enough to burn his immunity as a prosecutor already. This is just adding another layer to it. I will go over an entire summary in the FOIA of what I'm accusing the Charlottesville law enforcement of doing in 2006. There is no doubt that Platania will be seething enough to call me up and probably scream at me. It will all be empty threats however - neither Michelle Dickerman nor Platania will ever attempt legal actions against me.
Because doing it gives me the publicity I need to expose the entire shitshow. Dickerman and her husband already proved me correct on that belief. Which I'll go over just how bad that actually looks for both of them in the videos - specifically the video where I discuss John Dickerman. I know the two of them think they are keeping something damaging in their 'back pocket' for later - but their actions scream their guilt to everyone. Nobody would have responded like they responded. Nobody would handle it the way they handled it. They handled it like guilty people. Their actions look like two people who are more afraid of a police investigation than they are of me.
I'm going to make it very clear to Joseph Platania - either you wreck Dickerman's life or she's going to wreck yours one day. I put forward a very clear offer - I want someone's proverbial head in court, and that party gets to walk away without further problems from me. I'll give Platania a very simple offer - his "head" or Michelle Dickerman's "head". If Michelle Dickerman were to ever decide to rat out the Charlottesville law enforcement and admit they knew she committed a crime and did a coverup? Well Joseph Platania's life is wrecked. He can forget qualified immunity. She might even MeToo him given his sexual discussion about her over the phone with my former lawyer. Effectively Michelle Dickerman has the power to stomp on his throat and Chapman's throat if she came clean.
Platania either has to trust that a woman who is a proven liar won't try to snake him in the future to get me off her back, or he has to get Michelle Dickerman first. If he dismisses the felony against me and files charges against Michelle Dickerman, Dickerman now has to keep her mouth shut. She can't publicly run with any narrative when the media sticks a microphone in her face. She would be facing both criminal charges and a serious civil suit if Platania struck her first. Not only would anything Dickerman says be used against her later, but nobody will trust anything she says. Any accusations would just be seen as her trying to save her own ass.
But if Dickerman got Platania first - he can't touch her. She would effectively be a material witness testifying against him and the law enforcement apparatus of Charlottesville. I'm pretty sure that means Charlottesville couldn't do anything to her at that point. It would be up to the State AG, and they might be very reluctant to pursue criminal charges against her given the complete shitshow of 2006 and the serious accusations of corruption. Basically whichever side gets the other first - they end up coming out of the ensuing disaster with far less consequences than the side that screwed around and did nothing. And if it turns out the news agencies that get the FOIA copies start asking questions - someone's hand is going to get forced. I'm mailing out a lot of copies, and all it takes is just one reporter to drag this entire corrupt affair into the light.
I'm going to impress upon Platania just how fucked he'll be if Dickerman snakes him in the future, and see if he's smart enough to see the benefit to cracking Michelle Dickerman with the legal sledgehammer. Will he actually be smart enough to go after her? We'll see. I'm not going to hold my breath obviously, but if he starts getting calls for comment from news media agencies - I imagine he'll be far more interested in what I have to say. If Platania does nothing however after seeing everything in that FOIA request, he would be giving me a weapon to use against him one day. His immunity would no longer exist.
A reason for holding off on moving with the FOIA sooner is something I'll get into more detail on the update video. But in a nutshell, I never got the 20 years good behavior term removed. Years ago I talked with a lawyer about getting it removed, since I had intentions on the restoration of my rights to include firearms rights. I needed a lawyer to petition the court to have it reduced to time served. I had remembered what the Charlottesville probation officer had told me. The lawyer however said that the probation officer was incorrect and that 20 years good behavior was actually completely irrelevant when it came to rights restoration and a pardon.
He informed me that he would get the 20 years reduced when I was ready to do it, but he also gave me a warning. I had discussed the blog and my evidence against Dickerman with him during our talk. He asked me to not take an 'online victory lap' when my firearms rights were restored. He was concerned that Michelle Dickerman might try something if I announced it. He said I should pretend it never took place. And for a very long time I took his advice. I pretended that my rights weren't restored. I've decided however that I'm no longer concerned about whether Michelle Dickerman knows about this information or not. She's not going to do anything anyway even if she could. Because Dickerman knows that gives me the one thing I need to wreck her life - a public forum. If she thinks the news media was interested in 2006, she hasn't seen anything yet.
Getting back on track, as I said I've never bothered to get the 20 years reduced. I had my rights back without taking that step. I also had no intentions of asking for a pardon, and I would refuse any attempt to pardon me. As I've discussed in what I've recorded so far, I've come to find out that a pardon has to be accepted by the person pardoned. Just because pardons are almost always accepted in 99% of cases doesn't mean someone can't refuse it. I'm not accepting a pardon for a crime I didn't commit. Had that been done way back when I was unemployed and struggling in the very beginning, I likely would have accepted it. But twenty years of serious harm later? NO. I want someone's "head" now. We're settling this dispute my way after all these years, and it is happening on my terms one way or the other.
I didn't care to fix the 20 years garbage because I knew none of these people were ever going to try anything. Michelle Dickerman has confirmed this. Again, if any of them were ever dumb enough to attempt something they would just reveal the entire corrupt 2006 shitshow publicly and thus wreck their own lives. But sending in that FOIA request would be firing a shot at Charlottesville. I wanted to back Platania into a corner, and if he doesn't have that 20 years requirement anymore, then he would have to do something extremely risky and stupid to come after me. Without the 20 years good behavior, Platania no longer has an easy way of screwing with me. I'd rather make things as difficult as possible for him.
The 20 years is up in a few more days. This milestone however does make me angry. We've already hit 20 years since my arrest this summer. We're now about to hit 20 years since my life was wrecked with a felony I never committed. 20 years since I was railroaded. I will make people pay a severe price for that.
We're going to have this too long delayed showdown. This FOIA request is just the first shot fired of what will become an increasing escalation. It isn't a matter of whether Michelle Dickerman will see consequences for what she did because that's happening regardless. It instead has merely become a matter of how many people around her have to get ruined in the process thanks to her own choices. As I've discussed in the John Dickerman video being currently edited - her husband's reputation is already going to be trashed when everything comes out. I imagine a professional lobbyist will have a hard time with getting his reputation dragged. Hard to whisper in a politician's ear for corporate overlords if your name is trashed because you've been enabling your wife to keep covering up her crimes. It won't be my fault it happens either. John and Michelle Dickerman can look in the mirror if they want someone to blame for it.
I hope the rush that this narcissistic woman got for wrecking someone's life over a lie is worth it. I hope satisfying her vindictiveness over emails criticizing her was worth what's coming for her in the future. When everything she built gets burned down around her, the only person she has to blame is herself.
