According to Judge Kari Dooley’s opinion in Indelicato v. Shipman & Goodwin LLP, Joseph Indelicato [III], a Georgetown-trained lawyer representing himself, filed an employment discrimination complaint against Shipman & Goodwin LLP. Indelicato claims he was terminated from his position as an attorney at the law firm due to religious and race-based discrimination, alleging that a co-worker of South Asian descent fabricated a harassment complaint against him.
The complaint named multiple additional defendants, including the United States of America, the FBI, Georgetown University, and others, accusing them of conspiring with Shipman to ruin his life and the lives of other white Christians.
The Court ultimately dismissed the Second Amended Complaint in its entirety, deeming the allegations as fantastical and delusional, beyond the scope of adjudication. Indelicato’s claims invoked antisemitic writings and falsehoods, alleging a vast Jewish conspiracy involving various entities that led to his termination.
Indelicato’s complaint included references to supernatural elements used by his alleged co-conspirators, such as claims of witchcraft influencing his coworker’s actions. He also mentioned Satan controlling the conspiracy members and the creation of an antichrist by the “Wokeness” conspiracy. The Court found these claims to be unfounded conspiracy theories that could not be entertained.
Indelicato’s summary argument highlighted his belief in a global conspiracy to destroy the Christian faith using Woke ideology, leading to his persecution and exclusion from society. He also mentioned manufactured catastrophes aimed at enforcing compliance among those who oppose Woke ideology, attributing the masterminding of these events to the Jewish community.
Despite the troubling claims in the complaint, it is clear that the Court could not adjudicate such extreme and unfounded allegations. The post I’m No Fan of “Woke” Ideology, but This Is Going a Bit Far was originally published on Reason.com.
