#OpBridgewater - Origin of the Five Points

The concept referred to as the Five Points pertain to sections of information that were produced during, and as the result of, the process of discovery.   At the first level of understanding, reference material for four of them can be found in the four required readings.  The required readings contain the basic documentation necessary to confidently present the basic facts of the case.

1. Of all the documents, the Summary Judgement is the last word for this case.

2. The First letter to President Emeritus Dana Mohler-Faria is the formal complaint that starts the case in principle.

3. The Waiver of Liability is Mr. Mohler-Faria's answer to my first letter, and the document that led to the lawsuit against Dr. Grace Seibert-Larke.

4. The last letter to President Emeritus Dana Mohler-Faria before the lawsuit was filed in the state of Massachusetts.

Operation Bridgewater - Introduction

The origins of Operation Bridgewater (#OpBridgewater) are directly linked to a report entitled: Anatomy of a Cover-up: The curious case of Alfred Wiggins Jr. v. Bridgewater State College and others.

The report is about the various aspects of the case that I thought were most important at the time, and that resonate with me still. These aspects include, but are not limited to, the means by which I was unlawfully and forcibly hospitalized at the behest of the Counseling Center on the campus of Bridgewater State on April 15, 2004.

I am writing and producing this report so I may demonstrate just how easy it was for campus authorities at the Counseling Center to create the appearance of an "emergency situation" through the use erroneous information about my career in the military, and the stereotypes that were created by the head of the Counseling Center then passed onto campus authorities.  Both served to cast negative aspersions on my career in the United States Army.

In order to give this subject the best, most detailed treatment possible, I will use the Bridgewater State Counseling Center's records, as well as the medical records accrued during my stay at Brockton Hospital in 2004. These documents must suffice since both Bridgewater State and Brockton Hospital provide the bulk of written information about the case.

This site is designed to use my experiences in higher education to help educate veterans, their advocates, healthcare professionals, educators and any other individuals concerned about the rights of honorable, law-abiding and aspiring veterans who seek to improve themselves through academic pursuits.

About Mister Al - Part Two

I was falsely imprisoned by campus police at the library on the campus of Bridgewater State College on April 15, 2004, but it wasn't until August 2004 that I first viewed the spurious profile created by Dr. Grace Seibert-Larke.  At that time, Dr. Seibert-Larke was a psychologist at the Bridgewater State College Counseling Center.  The shocking revelations of the doctor’s bias against my military service, as well as her religious bigotry, changed my life in ways I’d never dreamed possible or necessary.

The campaign of character assassination began just weeks before my civil rights were violated by campus authorities at Bridgewater State. The most harmful slanders Dr. Seibert-Larke and other campus officials used against me were derived from misinformation about my military service and ugly, pervasive stereotypes about men and women who’ve served our nation faithfully and with honor.

While I waited for campus authorities to act on my behalf, which they never did, I took solace in writing short stories and blogging. The short stories were never released but, strangely enough, my initial attempts at blogging became a source of entertainment for others and myself.  I chose to compose music, build websites and write my stories in order to transform what was once mausoleum of memories into a creative outlet and a source of much happiness.

The Summary Judgement

No Advocacy (Bridgewater State 2006)

I originally composed and recorded this song under the pseudonym,  O.G. Fred Mack.

No Advocacy by Al Wiggins Jr.

I'd like to dedicate this song
to the matriculated students
at Bridgewater State College
in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

I've got a story I'd like to share with ya'll.
It goes like this:

On a Thursday afternoon I came to class,
coffee in my hand, and draggin' my ass.
My classmates said, "Go upstairs.
the professor's waiting for you there."

I saw the professor on the stairs.
He looked pale, and kind of scared.
When he spotted me, he said, "How do you do?
The police are upstairs. They're waiting for you."

I saw the chief flanked by two men.
One was a sergeant, the other a captain.
The chief smiled and shook hands with me,
and then he said, very quietly:

"Your wife is worried about you,
and this is what we're going to do.
We're going to the hospital, quietly."
And I said "yes," immediately.

Six days locked in a psyche ward,
and I still don't know what I was there for.
Is there anyone around here that can see?
Matriculated students have no advocacy.

Traditional students don't stand a chance,
but I'm a non-trad, so prepare to dance.
There'll be no waiver of liability.
The deeds been done, now you deal with me.

I didn't know what happened at first.
I thought of 9/11.
That day, when people found themselves in danger
they worried for their loved ones.

I braced myself for drama,
a man down for his baby's mama.
I went back downstairs with an escort
but I had no idea what was in store.

When I got to the cruiser, the cuffs came out.
No one outside, and no way out.
I took a drink of water
and worried for my daughter.

I put my hands behind my back.
When I felt the cuffs, I let myself relax.
The cops patted me down, and counted my cash.
They put me in the car, and we made that dash.

Six days locked in a psyche ward,
and I still don't know what I was there for.
Is there anyone around here that can see?
Matriculated students have no advocacy.

Traditional students don't stand a chance,
but I'm a non-trad, so prepare to dance.
There'll be no waiver of liability.
The deeds been done, now you deal with me.

A Counseling Center doctor,
Grace Siebert-Larke.
on April 15, 2004
went just a little too far.

She broke the law of Massachusetts
by committing me that day.
I was supposed to see a judge
before she put me away.

According to the state of Massachusetts
she was supposed to examine me,
and I was supposed to have a choice
of the care I was supposed to receive.

But Dr. Grace Siebert-Larke
did not care about this.
She only cared about the profile she made up
with Nurse Christine Malmquist.

Six days locked in a psyche ward,
and I still don't know what I was there for.
Is there anyone around here that can see?
Matriculated students have no advocacy.

Traditional students don't stand a chance,
but I'm a non-trad, so prepare to dance.
No waiver of liability
The deeds been done, now you deal with me.

The nurse and the doctor consulted each other
before profiling me.
It seems they had a lot to say
about a patient they refused to see.

Those profiles were extensive,
they covered everything.
and they even won the approval
of social worker Wayne Assing.

The counselors that day,
created an emergency.
They lied about my entire life,
and did absolutely nothing for me.

You've broken Buddhist law,
Christine, Wayne and Grace.
You hurt people you were supposed to help.
Each one of you is a disgrace.

Six days locked in a psyche ward,
and I still don't know what I was there for.
Is there anyone around here that can see?
Matriculated students have no advocacy.

Traditional students don't stand a chance,
but I'm a non-trad, so prepare to dance.
No waiver of liability.
The deeds been done, now you deal with me.

Operation Bridgewater Engaged (#OpBridgewater)

"If good does not accumulate, it is not enough to make a name for a man. If evil does not accumulate, it is not enough to destroy a man. Therefore, the inferior man thinks to himself, "Goodness in small things has no value," and so neglects it. He thinks, "Small sins do no harm," and so he does not give them up. Thus his sins accumulate until they can no longer be covered up, and his guilt becomes so great, that it can no longer be wiped out." - Confucius

The legacy of Bridgewater State University President Dana Mohler-Faria

The Founder's Manifesto "In keeping with the concept of service-based learning, I fully intend to use the information at my disposal to help other college students defend themselves in ways I did not know existed before my struggle. Using all available electronic media, I will tell students about my vain attempts to seek justice from campus authorities at Bridgewater State. Using my medical records and other documents as teaching tools, I shall teach them how to stand up to unprincipled doctors, unethical social workers, dishonest campus bureaucrats, and--finally--unscrupulous, college presidents such as you, Mr. Mohler-Faria." - From Alfred Wiggins Jr. v. Bridgewater State College.
