There is an ongoing case in Michigan that should terrify everyone. Marc Aisen was arrested near his home in December of 2023, extradited to Michigan, and has been held pretrial for over two and a half years.
Most Americans don’t believe the system can be weaponized against ordinary citizens. Judges and prosecutors are given the presumption of innocence and good faith, while criminal defendants are given the presumption of guilt because, “if the government went after them, they must have done something wrong.”
The case ofThe People of Michigan v. Marc Aisendemonstrates just how far the system can crush a person with the process.
Marc Aisen was gainfully employed and lived independently in Massachusetts. In his spare time, he did what countless Americans have done for generations: he wrote messages to politicians, nonprofit boards, and charity officials, on behalf of himself and others, calling them out for what he sincerely believed was complicity in crimes, immorality, and threats to public safety. He volunteered with various organizations within his religious community and the parents’ rights movement to advocate for policies.
On July 26, 2023, from his apartment in Massachusetts, Aisen sent an email to Bloomfield Township, Michigan, Treasurer Michael Schostak. The subject line was: “Michael Schostak Covered Up Child Sexual Exploitation in Jewish Nonprofit.” The email was not posted on social media. It was sent directly to 56 email addresses, including 23 official local government emails, 14 officials from community boards and homeowners associations, and 19 private individuals. Here is the full text of that July 26 email:
Michael Schostak’s pedophile buddies are recommending child sex “change” experiments to kids and their parents, bespoking their tiny bodies with genital mutilation to make them more sexually appealing to the gay predators they are introducing them to. Michael Schostak is personally complicit in this evil scheme through his role at the “Secure Communities Network”. He doesn’t deny it. They advertise it on the JewishBoston.com website. “Jewish?” No. Faggotry is against the Jewish religion and this is precisely why.
Schostak received the email and forwarded it to Bloomfield Township Police Chief James Gallagher with the message: “Another email this morning. What are my options here?”
The “option” Schostak chose should alarm every American. On official township letterhead, using his government email address and cc’ing the police chief and a sergeant, Schostak sent Aisen this letter:
This letter serves as formal notice to cease and desist from any communication to me, my family, my colleagues, constituents or other associates. Your email messages are vile, contain hateful language, and are completely detached from any basis in fact. To be clear, I unequivocally deny your allegations as untrue and defamatory. You are hereby on notice to cease all communications to and about me. I am also demanding that you immediately provide a retraction of your defamatory comments to those individuals to whom your defamatory falsehoods were sent. Be advised – I am prepared to take legal action, both criminal and civil, should you fail to heed this warning.
