Dear Minister Faremo,

Request Clarification & Response:

1. Is there any Norwegian law that provides for discrimination of due process court or administrative procedures against Non-Norwegian citizens?

2. Do courts and administrative bodies in Norway totally shut down for Summer vacations?

3. Complaint: The Environmental Appeals Board appears to be refusing me access to its administrative due process complaint resolutionprocedures, and the Minister of Environment appears to approve such discrimination;

4. If your Administration is not their Supervisory Body, please provide contact details of whom exactly are their Supervisory Body/ies?

Complaint: Ministry of Environment: & Environmental Appeals Board Obstruction of Justice of my Complaint for Review of Request for Access to Environment and Health Information in terms of S.28 (Freedom of Information Act) and S.10 (Environmental Law) sent to Aftenposten, Bergens Tidende, Dagbladet, NRK, TV2, VG and Addresseavisen: RE: Censorship in Norway’s Media: (I) Media’s Environment-Population-Terrorism Connection; (II) Norway’s Stalinesque Political Psychiatry Tyranny

On 25 May 2012, Requests for Access to Environment and Health Information were submitted to the editors of Aftenposten, Bergens Tidende, Dagbladet, NRK, TV2, VG and Addresseavisen requesting information related to their decision-making to censor information related to the (I) Media’s Environment-Population-Terrorism Connection; (II) Norway’s Stalinesque Political Psychiatry Tyranny. Each respondent was additionally provided a copy of the 22 April 2012 Earth Day: “If It Bleads, It Leads” Media’s Population-Terrorism Connection Report (42pgs). The Media Publications were requested to provide the requested information by 17:00 hrs on 11 June 2012. As of 17:00 hrs on 18 June 2012, but declined to do so.

On 18 June 2012 a complaint was filed with the Environmental Appeals Board: Appeals of environmental information.

On 22 June 2012, the Environmental Appeals Board responded that they had deleted the complaint without reading it.

No reasons have been provided by the Environment Appeals Board for their decision to delete my complaint, allegedly without reading it. Nor is it registered on their Inkomne Sake pages: “Saker til behandling nå” and neither on their Vedtak/Decisions page.

On 25 June 2012 a complaint was filed to the Minister of Environment: Bård Vegar Solhjell requesting the Ministry to please inform me whether “the deletion was an error; or if not: written reasons for the deletion of my complaint.”

On 25 June 2012 the Environmental Appeals Board (no name provided) responded. They did not apologize at all for the deletion of my complaint, nor did they provide written reasons for their decision.

We hereby confirm the receipt of your inquiry.

RE: Env. Appeals Brd: Appeal: RE: Addresseavisen | Aftenposten | BTidende | Dagbladet | NRK | TV2 | VG

This is rather unusual, in my experience.

In South Africa if you submit a complaint to a court; you are given a Case Number for the case. If there is an error in the application, the court clerks inform you of the specific error that allegedly requires your correction.

Yet you have provided a 'reference number for an inquiry', with no additional information or any reasons for not providing a court case number.

Is "2012/708 - 1" the case number for my complaint?

It does not appear so to me, since the case numbers of cases on your website are numbered differently; such as:

Sak: 2012/1 Sak: 2011/5 Sak: 2011/4
Sak: 2011/3 Sak: 2011/1

There is already a case: Sak: 2012/1; so logically this would be Sak: 2012/2.
Strangely, you have cases whose final decisions are not published:

Sak: 2011/2 Sak: 2010/2 Sak: 2010/1
Sak: 2008/04 Sak: 2008/02 Sak: 2008/01

Could you please clarify what "2012/708 - 1" means, what the case number is to be; and your Norwegian court process for proceeding.

On 28 June 2012 the Environmental Appeals Board responded that they were on summer vacation and would only answer my questions after the summer vacation.

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we will not be able to answer your inquiry until after the summer vacation. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

On 28 June 2012 I responded to enquire when exactly the summer vacation was ending?

Dear Ms. Nameless (Is that so you can avoid being held accountable?)
Secretary for the Environmental Information Appeals Board

When exactly is the end of your summer vacation?

On 28 June 2012 I contacted a friend in Norway to enquire whether this was standard policy procedure:

I want your advice. I filed a few requests for environmental and health information to six of the largest NO media publications. They refused to provide me the information.. so I filed the request to the Environmental Appeals board. At first they deleted my complaint, until I filed a complaint to the Minister of Environment asking why my complaint was deleted. Then they refused to provide me with a case number, only an 'acknowledgement of inquiry' number. When I filed another complaint to the Ministry of Environment, the Environmental Appeals Board responded that they are on summer vacation and cannot provide me answers to my complaint, not even a case number until after the summer holidays. They have so far refused to say when their summer holidays ends.

Can this be true? Not even in third world africa do courts shut down for christmas holidays; they have a skeleton staff who provide all the usual services.

Are they just fucking me around; or is this true?

He responded:

Perhaps the rules are different for non-residents. Perhaps you don't have the same rights to be answered as people living in Norway.

My response:

"Perhaps the rules are different for non-residents. Perhaps you don't have the same rights to be answered as people living in Norway."

If so, thats okay; but then that would be a statutary policy; and they can say 'according to such and such statute, you don't have the same rights as people in norway and we don't have to answer your complaints'.

If there is no such statutory policy, and this policy is purely for me (cause they don't want to deal with the issues in my complaint) then its discrimination.

I imagine from your answer you are implying that this court is not shutdown for summer vacation for Norwegians who file a complaint?

His response:

I have no idea what the routines of Norwegian courts are vis-à-vis summer vacations. As for the courts administration not volunteering information to you that you have not specifically asked about you have experienced this previously, so you may have to ask whether you have diminished rights compared to Norwegian citizens or residents of Norway in order to get that clarified

Request Clarification & Response:

Sounds like Norwegian Min of Justice and Environment don’t appreciate honest simple clear radical honesty language correspondence. So, for the fucking hard of hearing; we need to raise the tone a little.:

The only fucked up pathetic answer I have so far received from a Norwegian who has so much respect for accountability and honesty; s/he is too much of a gutless fucking coward to take responsibility for her decision by providing her name is:

"Due to vacation leave for the secretary`s employees, we will consider your request in August and get back to you as soon as possible. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience that may cause."

It is sweet fuck all inconvenience to me: IF I was convinced this was STANDARD POLICY; which if so: SHOULD BE BROADCAST ON THE WEBSITE FOR EVERYONE'S KNOWLEDGE. But it isn't! Why Not?

Why is there no sign on the front of Ministry of Environmental Appeals Board website saying: 'CLOSED FOR SUMMER VACATIONS; BACK ON SUCH & SUCH DAY IN AUGUST'?

Is it cause the Environmental Appeals Board is only providing service to some elite people, and not to other more inferior people?

Why is the Env. Appeals Board policy not standard and publicly broadcast?

I am still waiting for a Case Number; and the answer to the following questions:

1. Is there any Norwegian law that provides for discrimination of due process court or administrative procedures against Non-Norwegian citizens? Has the Environmental Appeals Board shut down FOR EVERYONE, or only for me; until August? If for everyone; why is there no PUBLIC NOTICE: "CLOSED UNTIL AUGUST"????

2. Do courts and administrative bodies in Norway totally shut down for TWO MONTHS of summer vacations?

3. Complaint: The Environmental Appeals Board appears to be refusing me access to its administrative due process complaint resolution procedures, and the Minister of Environment appears to approve such discrimination: Why is my complaint an 'enquiry' and why am I not provided a case number?

4. If your Administration is not their Supervisory Body, please provide contact details of whom exactly are their Supervisory Body/ies? Is it too much to ask the Norwegian Department of Justice to answer a few simple honest goddamn fucking questions?
