Court Corruption and the Suppression of Accountability: The PeaceMaker Sheriff Movement Responds
On what should have been a lawful and constitutionally protected moment, Aldo Dibelardino, Virginia Beach’s PeaceMaker Sheriff candidate, was forcibly removed from a courthouse while attempting to make a Lawful Presentment to the Grand Jury. His goal? To address court corruption and ensure that the public’s voice—through the Grand Jury—was heard in matters of justice. Yet, instead of engaging in the process, the judiciary shut him down.
The troubling events that unfolded showcase a deeper problem in our system. The courts, institutions that are meant to protect the public from corruption and uphold the law, are now being weaponized to suppress those very ideals. The removal of Aldo is not just a singular act of defiance against the rights of one man—it is an affront to every citizen’s right to accountability and justice.
What Happened?
Aldo was at the courthouse to present RICO corruption evidence to the Grand Jury, a right guaranteed by the Constitution. In the U.S. Supreme Court case of United States vs Williams, Justice Antonin Scalia clearly affirmed that the Grand Jury is neither part of the judicial, executive, nor legislative branches of government. It exists as a direct extension of the people’s authority, serving as a fourth branch of government with the power to hold officials accountable. This means that citizens—like Aldo—have every right to present cases of court corruption directly to the Grand Jury.
However, rather than allowing this lawful process to unfold, the court forced Aldo out, silencing his efforts to expose the very corruption he was there to address. This act of removal represents a clear violation of constitutional rights, and it shows how far certain individuals in power are willing to go to prevent transparency and accountability.
The Role of Sheriff and the Grand Jury
The Constitution outlines that Sheriffs have a crucial role in connecting the people with the Grand Jury. Sheriffs are meant to facilitate citizens’ access to the Grand Jury and support their efforts to hold the judiciary accountable when there is evidence of corruption. Unfortunately, in Virginia Beach, this connection is being obstructed, as the judiciary interferes with a process that rightfully belongs to We The People.
Why This Matters to You
The PeaceMaker Sheriff movement is about more than just electing one sheriff—it is about ensuring that every sheriff in the United States understands their duty to protect the people’s constitutional rights. The forced removal of Aldo is a chilling reminder that government overreach and corruption will always attempt to stifle the truth. But, as citizens, we have the right—and the responsibility—to demand transparency and ensure that justice prevails.
When a citizen stands up to present evidence of corruption and is met with force, it is not just their rights being trampled—it is the rights of all of us. The courts are supposed to serve the people, but without accountability, they become tools of oppression.
