No one will argue that being a care provider is tough. Sometimes family members may become tired of caring for their loved one when that person requires more assistance or maybe they are worth more dead than alive. Sound sick, sinister or cruel? You bet it does, but the fact is that it is important to pick someone you trust to be your Medical Power of Attorney (MPOA) and Financial Power of Attorney (FPOA). It may or may not be the same person but you want someone who you trust and who loves you and has your best interest at heart. You should always talk about what your wishes are in the event you cannot speak for yourself. None of us know when we may draw our last breath and while these conversations are sad and depressing they are necessary and may save your life!
We are here to help answer questions.,hospice,
Join us Wednesday, September 28, 2022 and hear Suzette Husted Heathcote share the tragic stories about losing both of her parents within 18 months. Her Dad, George Husted was 81 when he passed on January 12, 2021 and her Mom, Annette Husted was 80 when she passed on July 6, 2022. Another tragic story of a sick individual not being treasured and cared for properly by medical professions who pass the buck to hospice when it costs too much money and after all they were old so why not? And hospice is an expert at hastening death as per the book Killing for Profit – The Dark Side of Hospice by Michelle Young Doers.
Hospice counts on our ignorance so let’s turn the story around and start being smarter than the death staff are and let’s save our loved ones! These are our people and they deserve the finest treatment and are not to be ignored, harmed, tortured and murdered.

In May of 2017, the New Mexico Supreme Court Commission studying Guardianship Reform heard testimony from an expert who spoke on behalf of professional guardians throughout the state.
Sharon Moore explained that her company, Ayudando Guardians (the word means “helping” in Spanish) adhered to “a model code of ethics” and had the trust of district judges. She said that the company accounts were audited once a year. Both Sharon and her partner Susan Harris were also certified by the National Center for Certification of Guardians
Approximately 2 months later, Sharon and her partner, Susan Harris, were charged with a decade-long sophisticated scheme to embezzle funds from client trust accounts. It was eventually discovered that 11 million in clients funds had been stolen.
How can such a thief be brazen enough to testify before the Supreme Court on behalf of the industry? And what does this say about the profession? Tonight we’ll discuss this case, its outcome, and efforts in New Mexico to reform the Guardianship system.
Our guest tonight is Arlene Sandra. She and Reverend Ralph will be talking about the numerous BS bills in Pennsylvania each of them an underhanded protection of the predators.. Two are listed below…there’s MORE!
HB 422 (Hickernell) Creates a database for tracking and criminal or civil convictions for abuse, neglect and exploitation in care facilities.. (but does not mention professional predators or attorneys)
HB 1430 (Day) specifically expands the ability for dept. of aging, an adult protective services to civilly prosecute family members for accused criminal activity and allows the state to assume the estate and the ward in adult guardianships. Specifically to increase Medicaid pay for “professional” guardians to $300 a month per ward.
These are just two of the upcoming bills that target family members and conveniently overlooks the predators. the 2nd bill is an obvious money maker that will be paid through taxes to the predators. I suppose stealing an estate, selling other peoples homes, collecting the social security and/or military retirement, and/or railroad retirement wasn’t enough.
Welcome to Pennsylvania! We take human trafficking for profit very seriously!
LISTEN LIVE HERE! Tonight June 17, 2022 at 7:00 pm CST! Call in number is 917-388-4520
On tonight’s show we introduce you to…Reverend Ralph, a minister out of Montgomery co Pennsylvania. He is very concerned about the abuses he is hearing about in his hometown. He will be reviewing with us the constitutional right to freedom of religion. That the ward has a right to clergy visits. Anyone can become a clergy member online. Reverend Ralph will educate us on how to do it.
After many, many years of writing, almost 1800 radio shows, interviews on other stations, public speaking and assorted other things..I needed a break. Actually I was questioning whether I wanted to continue or just walk away from all of it and call it done. I decided to stick around a little longer. but several things still bug me.
1. Why do people still cling to this right v left thing? I still maintain that it is in reality a system of us against them….and us is losing. This whole system has devolved into nothing more than a means to divide the public and keep them fighting amongst themselves. It appears quite effective in diverting your attention from things that actually matter. Like, what is congress actually doing? As a political atheist I am wary of either party.
2. How did gmo crops, severely lacking in nutritional value suddenly become “bio-fortified”? So…have herbides and pesticides now become added nutritional value? Who let them get away with this obvious attempt to rebrand these worthless gmo crops? All gmo crops are about is seizing agricultural products for profit. You change the dna of the plant by adding something to it and declare you have created a whole new, non naturally occuring plant just so you can patent it and control the market? And the USDA cheered them on!
3. Thousands of families continue to expose the human trafficking and estate theft through specially created tribunals which operate outside of the law and constitutions. Children are stolen through corrupted social service agencies who profit from increasing the number of children snatched by them. The absolute silence from congress and other political factions is deafening except for the occasional bill that surfaces supposedly to exert some control over this trafficking. Bills that turn out to be endless pages of absolutely nothing beneficial. The elderly are particularly vulnerable and preyed upon by the predator class but as long as those big campaign “contributions” continue to mysteriously appear in the accounts of politicians nothing is about to change.
4. What are these political jackasses doing to avert the impending food shortage? Have they made or attempted to make any effort to ward this off? No? Why would they. After all they will still eat quite well while you don’t. And what better way to control a nation than to starve them into submission to global plans.
5. God is neither right or left. Get over it.
This is just my short list of stuff that bugs me. I would like to hear from you what bugs you? Please be civil.
At a time in society when inclusion seems to top the list for priority in government and many private entities, there is an entire and growing population of people simultaneously being treated sub-human as second-class citizens without rights over their own body and without access and supervision of their own property and income, and virtually, the right to their own existence as the result of either illegal Guardianships or the Unconstitutional Act of ordering-away Constitutional Rights.
There’s no denying that usurping Constitutional Rights is a form of cancel-culture-suppression and Official Oppression only achieved by the Courts superseding their authority and the Constitution.
Illegal Guardianships are corrupt “cancel-cartels” whose agenda is to rob unsuspecting individuals of their assets, income, and property. Guardianship strikes and expands beyond the elderly and includes targeting those in family court as well as those who are expecting monetary settlements that somehow comes to the attention of a Guardianship “gang”.
A wish-list outcome is predetermined and then the Court-system and/or Guardianship “gang” proceed with filings to create and justify a path that “follows the money-paved road”. No boundaries, no limits, no transparency, no laws. Manufacturing and fabrication of documents and tampering of records with cruel intentions is the scheme to “smash a life to grab the cash.”
Toxic officials or bureaucrats that are also on the naughty list include Court Prothonotaries and Clerks who can control or tamper dockets to “gate-keep” court access. Each court “player” is a significant piece in advancing fraudsters while obstructing a victim every step of the process. For example, the Prothonotary or Clerk of Court can impede filing for legal recourse by the Prothonotary stamping a filing late or defective so that a filing never reaches the Court for review.
Retaliation against whistleblowers who report and file Complaints can include, but is not limited to the denial of jobs, promotions, and even the denial of public assistance such as SNAP food stamps, LIHEAP heating assistance, and medical insurance for financially qualifying individuals by County Assistance employees falsifying Applications to disqualify people.
The judiciary self-determines if they are bias, prejudice or present a conflict regardless that most Judges are elected through campaigns funded by attorneys who expect a favorable ruling when a judge is elected on the bench. When Judicial misconduct is alleged, the Judicial Conduct Board is the entity where a Complaint is filed and is reviewed and determined. The PA JCB is self-policing and composed of sitting judges, privately-practicing attorneys, and some lay people appointed by the Governor, amounting to non-policing by Judicial colleagues.
The existing conflicts of interest are indisputable, but PA has also recently decided to add another layer of protection for the Judiciary called the Judicial Ethics Advisory Board when it is unclear if the Judicial Ethics Advisory Board is compliant with the PA Constitution. Where’s the additional protection for “we the people”?
Most law suits against Judges and government employees are swiftly dismissed by their claiming immunity regardless that the law only provides and protects with immunity if Judges and government employees are acting within the scope and boundaries of the law, and are not abridging the privileges and rights of “we the people.”
The Privileges and Immunities Clause of the 14th Amendment provides that “no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privilegesand immunities of citizens of the United States.”
U.S. Const. Amend XIV§1, Cl. 2.
Most, if not all, states have laws pertaining to what’s called sovereign immunity. Sovereign immunity in Pennsylvania falls under 1 Pa. C.S. § 2310 and protects with immunity to those in their individual and official capacity provided they are “acting within the scope of their duties”
While every case is unique and there is no once-size-fits-all, based on textbook, the judiciary can be sued if they violate the Hobbs Act under 18 USC 1951 and Civil Rights, and government employees can be sued under a Bivenssuit.
If records support an illegal or unjustified Guardianship, a Guardian could be potentially sued for “Abuse of Process” by misusing the filing of Guardianship for the distinct purpose of accomplishing another matter for which a Guardianship is not intended such as confiscating assets from a person unwilling to sign-away their property.
“An abuse of process is the unjustified or unreasonable use of legal proceedings or process to further a cause of action by an applicant or plaintiff in an action.” “A respondent or defendant typically claims the other party or plaintiff is misusing or perverting the regularly issued court process not justified by the underlying legal action.” “The elements of a valid cause of action for abuse of process in most common law jurisdictions are:(1) the existence of an ulterior purpose or motive underlying the use of process, and (2) some act in the use of the legal process not proper in the regular prosecution of the proceedings.”
The courts are being weaponized against “we the people” in what is known as a Kleptocracy which is when the government steals from the people.
It can’t be overstated that the courts are terrorizing “we the people“, an “Where-ever law ends, tyranny begins.” John Locke, Book II of Two Treaties of Government.
The Judiciary failing to Rule by Law has devolved into “Ruling by Tyranny” so that the courts are effectively operating as “slaughterhouses” and countless statistics of “we the people” are the “slaughter” whether through the loss of life, liberty, or property. “If eyes are turned blind to the judiciary not Ruling by Law, then we’ll never see justice.”….Elaine Mickman

Peggy Dupree and Betty Gosnell host Paris Golec whose child was targeted by DCF.
When Florida placed her child (Child Doe) in a fraudulent guardianship, Paris fought back. For her child Paris won the case upon the finding that the investigator from DCF did not have probable cause. Florida came after her and her child again, this time in an effort to take control of the monetary settlement from the first case. The policies and mandates under Chapter 39 Proceedings are used when the Department Of Child protective services attempts to remove a child from an unsafe home.
Paris and the girls will discuss how these mandates and policies in Florida are being violated under Chapter 39, and how these things were used to harm her child. Peggy and Betty working within the USA Guardianship Task Force will expose through their investigations the policies being violated by the Department of Children and family services.
On Monday night, 17 January 2022, Marti Oakley and John Leckrone will be discussing jurisdiction, what it is, how it is given or taken and how it is used to extort and enslave people. John will also discuss how the kangaroo courts use a foreign language and fraud to get “jurisdiction” for their criminal conspiracy. John Leckrone and Marti Oakley are investigative journalists who expose the new world order agenda for what it is and shine the light of truth on the tyrant’s criminal agenda. The show begins at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, 7 p.m. Central, 6 p.m. Mountain and 5 p.m. PacifHit #1 if you wish to speak to the host.
Tonight on TS Radio we are asking that anyone who may have information on the whereabouts of David Italiano, resident of Pennsylvania, who has been seized in an unnecessary guardianship and disappeared in the system, please contact us. David has been isolated in an undisclosed location for unknown reasons. Send info to tsrad1@outlook.com
PA, like many states, is quick to rush to guardianship vs. less restrictive ways to support a person. We have worked with many groups to find assistance to help David Italiano.
We reached out to the local Ombudsman for help but were told that there was a guardian and there was little that the Ombudsman could do. They were helpful when David requested his medical records. David wanted to know what evidence would be submitted to the court to support the need for a guardian. Sadly, this took close to 9 weeks and David received his records after the court hearing.
We escalated our conversation to Margaret Barajas, the PA State Long Term Care Ombudsman.
We had multiple meetings with her that went nowhere. We met with her supervisor, PA Sec. of Aging, Mr. Robert Torres, to request his office facilitate a meeting with the guardian.
I have attached communication from the Pennsylvania Council on Independent Living and the reply from the PA Dept of Aging regarding the request to meet.
We filed complaints with the PA Office of Civil Rights but with no signed release from David, they would not act.
We had the same response from the Federal Office of Civil Rights, they wanted a release to follow up on the allegation of an abusive/unnecessary guardian.
We had a meeting with staff from ACL to discuss the conflict of interest with the Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) serving in the role of guardian. As we discussed today the AAA is his guardian, provider, Rep Payee in addition to serving as the Ombudsman and the Adult Protective Services agency for Huntingdon County.
At one point the AAA/Guardian told us that they would not facilitate a care plan meeting for David as it was a duplication of services to have both agencies working to help David. We explained that there is no duplication of services as we are federally funded and mandated to provide Transition Services.
We have reached out to PA State Rep Jeff Wheeland for help. Like many of the others, he would not get involved due to their being a guardian.
We contacted Senator Robert Casey’s office to request help. Both Senator Casey and his policy person for the Elderly and Disabled population, Michael Gamel-McCormick agree that the guardianship system is badly broken, there was nothing that they could offer in the way of help. Senator Casey is drafting legislation to be introduced to the 118th congress to address systemic changes that are needed to protect people from unnecessary guardianship.
We spoke with the Community Legal Aid office in Philadelphia, but they would not commit to helping David.
We filed a complaint with the PA Dept of Health that went nowhere. We were in touch with an advocate, Dr. Janet Parker. Dr. Parker is with an organization called Medical Whistle Blowers. She was very interested in helping us but without a signed release of information from David, she was not able to bring this to the attention of the United Nations.
We also reached out to some local press. No one would get involved due to the guardian.
We facilitated a meeting with David and Joe Shapiro from NPR. Again, the guardian was the reason that Mr. Shapiro would not get involved.
I think that sums up our efforts to find David.
There are two things that really strike me about this situation. First is that prior to the AAA becoming his guardian, both the facility and the initial guardian, Jim Malee, were supportive of David not needing this level of care.
The second is that the initial guardianship was put in place “to protect him from his wife.” His wife is now deceased, she is clearly no longer a threat to David.
Join Coz and Marti as they take a look at the lies guardians and other “officers of the court” are allowed to tell and get away with.
The Ohio girls will be joining us also. Lots to report there!
We have several cases in play right now wherein the individuals involved are being terrorized via the tribunal with possible jail time in addition to financial extortion in many cases. probate tribunals are a prime example of government sanctioned racketeering for profit,. How else can you explain the abuses and other acts that violate your rights? Your senators and representatives both state and federal are fully aware of what has been taking place for decades, yet not one of them will stand up to call this racket out and put a stop to it.
Call your governor? Maybe the DOJ? Don’t waste your time.
And don’t forget the Hog Report! Coz has been inundated with reports of people who encountered the prolific Glory Hogs! Glory Hogs are the most important advocates in the world! At least according to them. The Hog Report is sponsored by: Shenanigans in Montgomery Cty on Facebook.
We are nearing the end of the year and its just about break time. We have a lot to cover and will wind down for the break on the 17th. We will cram in as much as we can before then.
“It is disingenuous to say that judges, lawyers or politicians don’t know about the trafficking of human beings through this arbitrary system of tribunals called , “family court, divorce court, probate court or any of the other unconstitutional constructs used to prey on the public at large.. They all know, whether they feign ignorance of these issues or not.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is euphemistically called our “judicial system” has become the weapon of choice for estate theft, child trafficking, and the destruction of the family unit. The creation of administrative tribunals no longer alluded to as a system of laws applied equally to everyone, has been twisted into an ugly and dangerous system of corruption, persecution and prosecution of those who refuse to submit to organized and criminal government organizations, agencies and political interests. Money talks in this system, even if it is stolen from the estate of a targeted elder victim, received as a result of child trafficking through CPS, or, from the disabled who might have a trust account or who could be used as an Medicare/Medicaid ATM..
Across the country families are fighting one of the most insidious and corrupt systems ever devised; a system of human trafficking under the guise of protection and care. If you have ever wondered who really is destroying the family unit in this country, you need look no further than the agencies and tribunals that work daily to kidnap and isolate the elderly with the intent of stealing their assets under the guise of guardianship. And when it comes to our children, Child Protective Services is predicated upon wrenching as many children as possible away from their families with or without cause. Children are worth an absolute fortune in the CPS system. The disabled are equally vulnerable to this system.
We have been battling this legalized racketeering for several years. The entire system was set up intentionally to allow for the wholesale theft of estates under the protection of a probate tribunal. These are NOT courts of law. If in fact a person does need a guardian, being deemed a “ward of the state” should not mean being stripped of all your rights and liberties. If a person is actually so vulnerable that they need a protector, would their rights not also need to be reinforced and protected to secure their safety and equal protection under the law?
Causing the civil death via probate, of a living human being needs to be called what it is. Modern day slavery……and the new slave owner now possesses everything the new age slave acquired over a lifetime. Taking their possessions is bad enough, but when you deprive them of their life, their families, their religion and most especially their freedom, you have created a new class of slaves.
This is human trafficking for profit. We just haven’t gotten to the point where we openly auction them off to the highest bidder, although in some instances we have found one state “loaning” another state wards to ensure they fill their targeted quotas for the quarter. More
As often happens when I am researching one thing, I stumble across something totally unrelated, but valuable. This happened recently when I stumbled across Biderman’s Chart of Coercion. The chart lists eight progressive steps of torture to break an individual down. What caught my attention was that I was reading the exact method of operation used by professional predatory guardians once they target a victim and take them prisoner. And this is a hostage situation.
Because this is a tribunal setting, set up specifically to avoid the law and any Constitutional protections, the rules of evidence and the code of civil procedure are not required. Basically a probate predators ball!
Vulnerable adults along with those with handicaps and children are seized by the state and declared a “ward” of the state. Essentially this designation redefines the individual as property of the state, no longer recognizable as a living, breathing human being, as legal capacity and legal agency are immediately removed along with the right to use their own name.
As probate is only suppose to come into play upon presentation of the death certificate, the “ward of the state” designation signifies a civil death that the tribunal relies on to proceed, even though it is this same tribunal who declared the living individual a ward.
As a ward, these civil deaths prevent them from accessing state courts which are based in the law, as they no longer are recognized as having any rights whatsoever. After all a probate examiner essentially declared them dead in the law. This designation (ward of the state) is used by the Supreme Court in its refusal to hear any of these cases. Their refusal is based upon the idea that these cases are the propertyand control of the state.
How to destroy a “ward of the state” with judicial approval
I had noted a long time back that the actions of the predators seemed to follow a distinct pattern in their application. After reviewing the chart below, I now realize that they are using a tried and true method of psychological torture, brainwashing and terror to overtake the victim. The chart lists eight chronological general methods of torture that will psychologically break an individual. It has also been applied to the psychological abuse used by perpetrators of domestic violence. The psychological and physical methods used by abusive guardians are virtually identical to those of the chart. These methods are actually used by our government and military on prisoners of war. This system deprives the victim of all social support and makes the victim dependent upon the abuser.
The chart includes the following coercion methods:
Isolation
Monopolization of perception
Induced debilitation and exhaustion
Threats
Occasional indulgences
Demonstrating “omnipotence” and “omniscience”
Degradation
Enforcing trivial demands
Even armed with this little bit of information, do not expect any politician to intervene and actually try to end this. Too much money gets dumped into their campaign funds from BAR Associations, guardianship associations and others who have a vested interest in allowing the system to run unimpeded. Money talks even if it’s money stolen stolen from an estate at the expense of a captive elderly individual.
Human bondage
A so called “guardian” is given title to the person as if they were an object or thing, and to the estate of the individual with little to no oversight. The abuse, neglect and trauma are standard procedure in these cases. And the very first thing the predator does, is to isolate the individual. Virtually every state has statutes prohibiting isolation yet it is the first action taken. The predators make spurious claims as to why isolation should happen, but provide little to no evidence to support their claims.
The effect, especially on the elderly is terror that results from the sudden and terrifying separation from everyone and everything known to them. And politicians and so-called “judges” turn a blind eye and yawn. They pen fluff and buff bills that have no teeth in them and do not address any of the serious human rights violations, violations of due process, or the obvious intent to access assets for personal gain.
While our elected officials concoct one useless bill after another supposedly to address the abuses in the probate system, not one will even say the word isolation much less address it head on. Not one of them will sight as criminal the abuses of probate tribunals and their guardians whose lives are predicated upon a parasitic existence at the expense of the vulnerable. Instead we get one bill after another that creates more agencies, delivers more funding to the very system we fight, and which will produce nothing other than another obstacle to those trying to escape this system of government sanctioned human trafficking.
And where were all your elected officials while this system of human trafficking operates in full view of the public?
Well! They were pretending it was an isolated incident. Not that? Oh! Well they never heard of such a thing. That didn’t work? Ok…how about this one: Let me look into this and I’ll get back to you. (Please don’t sit by the phone and wait for that return call…it isn’t coming.) the excuses elected people come up with are staggering in not only the dishonesty, but also in it’s blatant disregard for human life.
Guardianship never had a noble purpose. It has always been about capturing the vulnerable and taking whatever property or assets they had. It was and is a system populated by otherwise socially unacceptable people from the hearing examiners and guardians and on to the politicians who protect and facilitate this system. This system of human trafficking has always been corrupt and cannot be repaired. There is no “fixing” the probate system. It must be abolished in total. In its place, supported decision making is a viable and worthwhile effort and I am sure we can devise a system that functions far better and equitably than so-called “probate”.
These are just a few of the suggestions I received concerning what needs to occur:
Isolation must never be tolerated, allowed, or otherwise used to torture and torment a vulnerable individual.
The guardians and attorneys must be prohibited from using the intended victims own funds to attack them.
A cap in place on fees and other charges.
Petitions for guardianship must be heard in civil courts outside of probate tribunals and a trial by jury allowed
Verifiable evidence must be presented for any charges levied.
The hearing examiner must not dismiss personal attorneys or medical providers.
Guardians should be prosecuted and jailed for human rights abuses and numerous other violations of law and rights.
Probate examiners (mistakenly called “judge”in most cases) MUST NOT discard standing POA’s, Trusts, Wills or other legal instruments in order to allow the predator guardian full access to the estate.
No one associated with probate has immunity from prosecution for rights violations, estate theft, elder abuse, elder isolation, absence of due process, or other violations of law and rights. They must be prosecuted as any other person.
There is much more that needs to be added. Please send along any items you believe should be added to this list of demands to reign in the corrupt probate system.
In the meantime, review Biderman’s list of techniques and compare it to your case. Let us know what you find.
Are we to believe our modern country is a civilized society based on law when case after case spotlights the legal system has devolved so that the laws are only conveniences to be selectively applied for some
not applied or weaponized against others? Did you, or anyone in your family, or anyone you know have a case for which any records that were deposited with a clerk, officer of any court, or public office, and actual records were concealed, mutilated, obliterated, destroyed, falsified or “magically” removed? If so, it’s possible that 18 US 2071 may apply.
For example, were your records or the records of someone “near and dear” to you willfully and unlawfully concealed, removed, obliterated or mutilated to ensure justifying an illegitimate Guardianship matter? Did County Assistance willfully and unlawfully conceal, remove obliterate, mutilate or falsify records in
your case or the case of someone you know to deprive needed benefits?
Were records willfully and unlawfully concealed, removed, mutilated, obliterated, destroyed or falsified in
your Social Security or Disability case matter?
I know a woman whose retirement account from an out-of-state insurance company (Interstate Commerce) which required her signature to execute was falsified by the signature of her ex-spouse and then attorneys, who are Officer’s of the Court, had the document deposited with the court for signing-off.
This Pennsylvania senior citizen’s retirement was “signed-away” by falsification of record that was deposited and filed with a court clerk. And it can’t be overlooked that emptying out retirement accounts often leave the person subject to penalty and taxes for a pension or account that they never received.
It has become more common than most realize for senior citizen’s medical records to be falsified and filed with a court as a justification to obtain guardianship where their assets and retirement funds are confiscated and stolen by record concealment, mutilation, destruction and falsification which is subject to 18 US 2071.
Tonight on TS Radio, Elaine Mickman returns to discuss so-called immunity for judges and other officers of the court. How many times have we seen “judges” remove, conceal or otherwise tamper with records and reports in probate? The mutilation of cases at the hands of these “not really a judge”, individuals is staggering. But since they aren’t really officers of any legitimate court, what can you do? Is someone going to have to admit these are not courts of law to make them exempt from Title 18. supposedly?
Either that, or we have a good case for fines, imprisonment and disqualification of probate hearing examiners, attorneys and other personnel working for and associated with these kangaroo courts.
Title 18 Crimes and Criminal Procedure Part-1 Chap. 101- Records and Reports
18 USC 2071 Concealment, Removal, or mutilation of Records and Reports generally carries
fines, imprisonment and disqualification of office which is for any government officer of the court
usurping their sworn legal duty to abide by federal law. Supremacy Clause Article VI Clause 2.
Biffle v Morton Rubber Indus., Inc. 785 S.W. 2d 143, 144 (Tex. 1990)
Join Coz and Marti as they host Peggy Dupree and Betty Gosnell. Both ladys are the sisters to Debbie Gosnell Balch, who passed recently due to covid. This show is presented as way to honor their sister’s memory.
Our guests will be talking about why it is critical for everyone to have in place a living will and P.O.A.
Also at issue are hospital Covid laws that can harm a patient if emergency guardianship is filed by the hospital physician. Florida senate bill 994 can help a physician cover up medical errors that will never be disclosed to the wards family preventing them from seeking punitive damages.
Even with all the recent exposure regarding the trafficking of individuals through these corrupt probate courts, legislators in every state are doing everything they can to facilitate the traffickers, providing them legal cover for their insidious business.
Were you sold on the idea that guardianship/conservatorship once had a noble purpose? Neither ever did. It has always been a system of human trafficking with the intent of depriving those targeted of their assets, land, possessions and finances.
Tonight, Marcia Southwick, A Director of the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse, will join Marti to describe the Oklahoma guardianship system that was put in place to “protect” the Five Civilized Tribes and the Osage in the early 1900’s. Guardianships were transferred to state control when Oklahoma achieved statehood. Just as occurs today, county courts became responsible for probate cases and guardianships. Many Native Americans were deemed “incompetent,” especially as oil began to be discovered on their land. The atrocities and systematic theft are recorded in an investigation done in 1924, and in other documents. If you believe that removal of rights is the best way to protect another person’s interests,you’ll question that assumption after listening to the show.
Join Lisa Belanger and Marcia Southwick as they give their thoughts on the Britany Spears case an the changing of the proverbial guard. Her father might be stepping down, but all this means is a new conservator will be taking his place. One more likely to know how to navigate the corrupt probate system. Why didn’t this new attorney petition to end the conservatorship? Has he called for an audit of her estate? Who will be allowed to continue siphoning money from the estates and why? So many questions, so few honest answers.
Spoiler Alert: “Dad” isn’t stepping down! HE has filed an objection. After all, how will he maintain his lifestyle if he is no longer able to access her funds?
We will also be covering the ongoing Netflix debacle. Why did they pull the Dirty Money episode, Guardians Inc? What happened to the lawsuits?
The annual WHISTLEBLOWERS SUMMIT – normally in DC but this year it will be held virtually – has begun!
Every year, we are most anxious for Marti Oakley’s panel on guardianship abuse. This year MARTI’S PANEL WILL BE WEDNESDAY, 7/28 AT HIGH NOON EST! The virtual event is free but you must register to view it. A video showing how to REGISTER and access the various panels is at this URL: https://www.whistleblowersummit.com/summit-schedule
Here’s a summary of what Marti’s panel will be discussing: Guardianship Abuses (T.S. Network)
“We will discuss the Guardianship system, the legal and psychological abuse the victim is subjected to, and what changes are needed. The legislation that has passed along with pending legislation both national and international guardianship issues. We will discuss the predatory nature of guardianship and the prosecution of the predators. Many do not know that Guardianship is the loss of all legal capacity. It is now coming to the public’s attention with the recent Britney Spears case. But this has been an ongoing issue for decades. And our panel of advocates and victims has been at the forefront of seeking justice for well over a decade.
In coordination with the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse (NASGA) we have contributed to legislation, met with senators and representatives, and publicly exposed the issues for more than a decade via the radio shows and numerous articles and multiple web pages. We are now actively working with groups internationally who are encountering the same issues and we are forming a global coalition. We have created a platform for those victimized, their families and friends, to give them a voice.”

Kidnapping Grandma Documentary Film by Linda Kincaid
PRESS RELEASE: July 14, 2021
A Los Angeles County deputy killed a disabled African American man with a knee to the throat. There were no consequences for his actions.A decade later in San Bernardino County, the same deputy aided the kidnapping and abuse of a wealthy elderly woman. The victim was taken from her home and hidden from family. Her million-dollar estate was stolen by the kidnappers. An assisted living facility held the woman prisoner and denied all visitors except the kidnappers. The deputy protected the perpetrators and threatened family. There were no consequences for his actions. The court ultimately appointed the kidnapper as conservator over her victim. Sworn testimony from the perpetrators revealed the saga.NewsFest 2021Las Vegas, July 26 – 31Trailer on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/5699505
“Of all that happens in probate tribunals, the most disgusting has to be the forcing of the victim to pay for the actions of the predators. Everyone who comes against the victim is allowed to bill the estate for the attack.”
This is no time to grow old in this country, especially if you have property and other liquid assets. Roaming freely in the general population are predators whose only purpose is preying upon elderly individuals who can then be abducted, isolated and robbed blind.
Trafficking the elderly for profit is far more lucrative than working a regular old job. You simply have to have a lack of morals, integrity, sympathy, empathy and any sense of decency and you too can be a professional guardian.
It is estimated that 1.5 million individuals have currently fallen victim to this predatory system here in the U.S.. This number of victims has been chronically sighted as far back as 2015 by numerous sources, but I personally believe todays number of wards is far, far higher. The intentional refusal of state and federal agencies to admit and/or collect these statistics is to facilitate the ongoing attacks on the elderly in the hopes of reducing their numbers significantly. It is also a massive transfer of wealth from the vulnerable to predators who refer to themselves as professional guardians and attorneys, but who are, in fact, nothing more than professional parasites.

By Nancy Gregory-McLendon (formerly Nancy Scott) June 15, 2021 – World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
I am definitely my mother’s daughter. We shared a profession (retired school teachers), a love of reading, writing, and travel. My mother was a true fighter; you don’t live to be 103 years old without having a will to live.
My mom took care of me when I was young and, as the years passed, our roles shifted as I became her caregiver. For 30 years, my mom trusted me to act as her Power of Attorney for financial and medical matters. We thought we had prepared for the inevitable – I would be responsible for managing her affairs when the time came – but we were about to learn otherwise.
What I didn’t know, (and who would know this ahead of time?) was the guardian and conservatorship arena is no place for the uninformed. The phrase, “If you are the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room” couldn’t be more wrong when it comes to guardianships.
In America, a judge can determine a person to be incapacitated and take away their civil liberties with shockingly little evidence. A judge can also ignore a power of attorney or health care directive and appoint a person of their choosing instead. A guardian can liquidate property and belongings and take percentage of the proceeds as a commission. The guardian can also isolate their ward (victim) from friends and family.
My mom and I did not seek assistance from the Jefferson County Probate Court, but that didn’t stop them from taking charge of her life. More
Imagine a situation in which someone you love is abducted. You may or may not know where they are, but you are powerless to free them. The captor takes their money by getting into their bank account and investments, changing insurance policies and trusts to the benefit of the captor. The captor drugs the loved one into oblivion and forbids them to contact friends or family members.
If a masked thug did all this, law enforcement would jump into action, and the person reporting such a crime might even be hailed as a hero.
However, if the perpetrator of such actions does so by manipulating the probate or civil court system, it is business as usual. No one bats an eye if the victim is declared by the court to be an “incapacitated person” in need of a guardian, whether the allegation is true or not.
Worse, there is often swift retaliation against anyone speaking up for these hidden victims of guardianship abuse. Such bullying tactics are so common that they are considered part of the standard “playbook” used by the perpetrators of guardianship exploitation through local probate courts.
Occasionally, stories of this abuse of power make it into mainstream media, such as that of Golden Flake heiress Joann Bashinsky and the film from Netflix, “I Care A Lot”. More often, stories appear in alternative media and blogs.
The prevalent thinking is that, indeed, this case is an anomaly. Few realize how commonly it occurs. And few recognize the high cost at which these stories ever see the light of day.
In January, 2019, Shelley Thomson was abducted from her home in New Braunfels, Texas under color of law. She was falsely accused of being “incapacitated” and assigned to Texas Health and Human Services (HHSC) as her guardian. She was moved to a nursing home, and her house and other possessions sold to cover guardian and nursing home expenses, as well as legal costs to keep her “incarcerated.” Her human and legal rights have been abrogated, and she undergoes daily abuse, including malnutrition, isolation, denial of exercise, involuntary or hidden drugging, neglect, and a long list of other abuses. Shelley is a scientist, articulate, has career ambitions, and advocates for herself daily against all odds in a corrupt probate system.
Shelley’s attorney, Phil Ross, has volunteered to liberate her because he believes a grave injustice has been committed. After 2 years, about 300 legal filings and appeals, he recently filed several motions, including permission for Shelley to have access to what little cash is left in her account so she can continue to defend herself; preventing the state of Texas from using that money for prepaid funeral expenses; asking for damages for using the funeral gambit as a form of illegal retaliation against Shelley and Phil; asking the court for a fair mental examination; moving the jurisdiction to a fairer state probate court; requesting a jury trial; and restoring Shelley’s capacity so she can be released from guardianship.
A court hearing on these motions is scheduled for Thursday June 3 at 9:00 am CDT, New Braunfels, Texas time. Zoom Link: https://txcourts.zoom.us/j/5022885368
This hearing is open to the public, and we invite all to attend. Irrespective of the ruling, during the hearing (but most likely after the hearing after the judge leaves the courtroom), there will be an opportunity to comment and present evidence, and this will go into the record.

Join us this evening as various individuals protesting the horrendous “guardianship” racket in Australia. The trustee’s in Australia are openly hunting elderly victims who can be abducted, isolated and robbed blind all under tribunal protection. A recent protest against the elder racketeering has elicited various threats against the protestors, and several calls were made to shut them down. The protest was under permit and was peaceful.
Guardianship in its current state is a global racket. The elderly who should be cared for are instead viewed as prey and are subject to having their lives ended prematurely.
Australia rivals only the U.S. in its insidious treatment of the elderly. Other countries are following suit and also hunting and targeting the elderly who are marked for eradication. Globally, the elderly are considered a waste population and Australia and the U.S. are leading the way in the culling of those 60 and older.
Join Coz and Marti tonight as they host Liz Rizzo,
Liz Rizzo was Rusty Warren’s companion. Rusty is a well known comedian from the 60’s. She had 7 gold albums from that period. Her cutting edge humor was signified in her popular routine, “Knockers Up!”. At 91, Rusty has fallen prey to guardianship trafficking. Abducted and held captive by her abductors, she is told Liz doesn’t want to see her or talk to her. This is trauma based bonding by the book. Isolated, terrified and suffering from the onset of dementia, everything is being done to dehumanize Rusty and frighten her.
“Rusty was my partner over 35 years, we built a life together. We have a Trust to protect our assets and she put her wishes in writing. Judge Lee in Tucson disregarded the Trust, taunted me about being gay and said I was not credible. I was legally Trustee of the Estate but they challenged it.”
As so many others have discovered, pre existing legal instruments are quickly discarded to allow the predators access to any assets. This was never about Rusty or her well-being. It was only about gaining access to her jointly held estate and stealing as much of it as possible. To do that, Rusty had to be taken prisoner and deprived of her legal capacity.
Please join us as we cover this case which exposes more of the hunting of the elderly for profit.
Join Coz & Marti this evening, April 22, 2021 as we host one of our favorite guests, Dr. John Reizer. Dr. Reizer publishes No Fake News, one of the most popular sites on the net.
At issue this evening is the use of the fake Covid scamdemic to cull the elderly and the chronically ill from the population. Apparently the predatory practices of professional guardians along with their equally immoral attorneys, wasn’t removing the elderly and disabled fast enough. This system ultimately results in early death for the abductee. Now with the cover of the fake pandemic, thousands more elderly will make an early exit from life. Oh! Just as an afterthought…they might want to harvest your organs too~!
To add insult to a great injury, now a test of “social usefulness” will be applied to healthcare. How old are you? If they invest in your health, what can you do that would be of value to society as a means to determine what care will be made available to you?
Retirement takes on a whole new meaning under this plan. It could be that access to meaningful healthcare will be denied as your social usefulness indicator indicates you are simply retired. We have been commodified.
“It would seem to me that if you are intent on depriving a targeted victim of their identity, this should be done in a civil court, where evidence would have to be provided under oath attesting to the charges being levied. Let a jury decide if your personal identity should be taken from you and gifted to a professional predator that most likely has a long and sordid history of preying on those they perceive to be vulnerable.”
Declaring the living individual dead to enable the theft of the estate.
Barratry, a term that is now referred to as archaic, rarely, if ever, appears in the legal lexicon. It is the act of knowingly bringing false claims and charges against a targeted individual by members of the BAR Associations. And, it is the result of “the frequent incitement of lawsuits and quarrels that is a punishable offense.”
Every such individual ever forced into one of these pseudo “courts” that are in reality, tribunals, has suffered barratry and been subjected to a foreign jurisdiction and form of “pseudo law”, within which they were specifically disabled and unable to defend themselves. These unconstitutional tribunals were specifically created for this purpose: to leave the individual totally unable to defend themselves against a system devised to render them without any rights or protections. The Constitutional authority for these tribunals has been argued under the 1st, 3rd and 4th Articles of the Constitution, the sheer number of these treatises being a clear indication that they are not Constitutional.
Next, is the use of personage ( a term redefined for obvious reasons). Both barratry and personage are crimes against the individual by members of the BAR. Both of these criminal acts are used to enact foreign statutory law against living people. Foreign to the people, as statutory law circumvents the natural rights and liberties guaranteed in the Constitution and erects a legal fiction contradicting and adverse to the Constitution Bill of Rights, to directly benefit its creators. Which is exactly the only purpose of statutes.
The term “personage” has now been redefined to mean a person of importance or rank. Originally, it meant to assume another individuals’ identity with the intent of accessing their property; an act criminally prosecutable.
Today we recognize personage as identity theft. Of course its only a crime if you do it…if a member of the BAR Association does it in collusion with a for-profit guardian intent on availing themselves of your identity with the intent of fraudulently accessing your assets, it is not a problem; just all in a day’s work. Once the identity theft has been secured, testamentary powers are gifted to the predators who now present themselves as the civilly dead person so that the liquidation of the estate assets can begin in earnest.

No person shall be “deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” — unless, it seems, that person becomes a victim of probate or family courts. At that point, such deprivation of liberty happens more often than most of us realize.
It happened to Marguerite Trent Caddis of Birmingham, Alabama. A probate judge appointed a stranger as her guardian, and she was forced into a nursing home against her will. By the time the courts were finished with the Caddis estate, there was $3.76 left, to be divided equally between her three daughters.
Her story joins those of retired Alabama schoolteacher Marian Leonard and Golden Flake heiress Joann Bashinsky, each of whom were placed under court-appointed guardianships by Jefferson County Probate Judge Alan King, who has since retired. Even after the death of a loved one, the court battles don’t end. Guardianship abuse leaves grieving heirs, like Leonard’s daughter Nancy Scott and Bashinsky’s grandson Landon Ash, bearing the brunt of the financial burden and emotional heartache of desperate ongoing battles against the probate courts and guardians as they attempt to honor the wishes of their loved one. These are lives which ended, not peacefully, but embroiled in bitter legal battles that refuse to end even at the grave.
On Monday night, 5 April 2021, Marti Oakley and John Leckrone will be discussing how attorney’s and guardians have been using the maritime admiralty constructive contract and racketeering fraud kangaroo courts to steal property and assets owned by victims of their criminal actions. John will explain what parens patriae is and how it is exercised for the benefit of those in control over the population. Slavery is still alive and well in the United States and until people get to the root of the problem this issue will continue unimpeded.
The intentional failure of probate tribunals to recognize a victims legal capacity, legal agency and legal status has allowed the racket to run wide open. While both state and federal governments turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to what is happening to our elderly and others, families are tormented, disinherited and deprived of their loved one.
The show begins at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, 7 p.m. Central, 6 p.m. Mountain and 5 p.m. Pacific
Let me ask you: Have you heard even one attorney or probate hearing examiner ever refer to the right and preservation of legal capacity for any of the elderly men or women who are targeted, kidnapped and imprisoned in the guardianship racket? Have you heard any probate examiner say they will consider the least restrictive alternative structure for protecting the lives of those targeted for estate theft and exploitation, and then actually follow through with that? No? There is a reason for that. The probate examiner, ministerial clerk, or magistrate is involved heavily in the guardianship racket.
All the while, our elected officials feign disbelief, claim they had no idea what was happening, insist it must be an isolated situation, that no one told them this was happening, and then claim they will look into it and get back to you. They won’t and they don’t. They all know to a greater degree than you or I do exactly what is happening and yet sit silently doing nothing to prevent and stop this system of human trafficking altogether.
“Legal capacity is a human right, “a social and legal status accorded independent of a person’s particular capabilities. Whether an individual has the cognitive ability to understand and appreciate consequences of her decisions—the traditional threshold of the common law—is simply not determinative of whether she has legal capacity. Even if she does not possess those decision-making abilities, she cannot be stripped of her legal capacity.” [1]
In probate tribunals, the living, breathing, man or woman suffers a civil death. These victims are summarily stripped of their identity. Effectively commodified, they lose all rights including, where they choose to live, what medical treatments they do or do not, want. They lose the right to freely associate with family and friends and are stored in a warehouse called a “nursing” home. Most are not allowed phones or any other means of outside contact. Although statutes in every state claim that isolation should be a last resort, in virtually every case it is the first action taken by the predator guardian. And no one says a word about this!
In addition to the loss of legal capacity the victim has also lost the right to and recognition of, “legal agency”. Once in grip of the probate tribunal and their associated lawyers and professional predatory guardians, the loss of legal capacity is complete. They lose all rights to access and control their own assets and may not enter into contracts of any kind or make any decisions regarding their own assets and property.
A number of human rights theorists further break down legal capacity into two parts: “legal status,” which is the ability to hold rights that the state must recognize, and “legal agency,” which is the ability to have one’s decisions recognized by the law. Both of these rights are summarily dismissed and rendered moot in the human trafficking system of guardianship
It just gets worse
So why are they using the term “best interests” and using that as a means and a reason to discard pre-standing legal instruments to determine what the victim intended or wanted? And why are probate examiners allowed to discard these legal instruments that state specifically what the victim would want if these situations occurred? Why aren’t they using a best interpretation of the will and preferences? Why? Because its difficult to steal an estate if you are forced to consider what the victim wanted as opposed to what the guardians want.
Yet everyday across the country, individuals are never informed that they have a right to their legal capacity. Using contrived incapacitation or mental competency as a metric to deprive individuals of their rights to make their own decisions and to be recognized as a living, breathing man or woman, the right to legal capacity is summarily disregarded. This is a major deprivation of rights under US Code 242. [2] It is also a declaration of civil death. You don’t exist. You died, but just haven’t stopped breathing yet.
Here in the US, probate tribunals were established specifically to avoid the constitution and any rights associated with that document. These are not courts of law. These are specially designed tribunals created to allow the unfettered theft of estates and ordinary assets by operating outside of the common law and any rights you thought you had. You have no rights, no protection from these predators and can be subject to probate facilitated kidnapping and imprisonment whenever one of these predators decides you have something they want. Its a system set up for easy pickings for the professional predators, and few, if any, penalties for them.
The activity of professional predatory guardians goes unchecked by the tribunal.
These tribunals were created supposedly because common law, civil and criminal courts, were overloaded with cases so a tertiary system (the tribunal system) had to be created to relieve the stress on actual courts of law. But who in their right mind sets up an alternative tribunal system and then fails to adequately fund it to allow for oversight?
Hearings are held many times without notice to the victim. Many elderly, if they are even allowed to attend hearings, do so without an attorney. There is no due process afforded in these tribunals, no right to defend yourself, no right to present evidence contradicting the charges against you by immoral attorneys and their predator friends, the guardians.
If they are allowed to attend, and, if they have their own attorney familiar to them, that person will be dismissed by the examiner. Then an attorney will be appointed for them that can be depended upon not to interfer with what has been agreed to before your appearance in the tribunal so that the theft of the estate can begin, unimpeded. The tribunal will many times fire a family attorney and appoint one who can be depended upon not to interfer with the plans already agreed to by the tribunal and the predatory guardians and their attorneys. The fix is in. No one is allowed to intervene who is not part of the criminal racket that is now fully operational.
If all else fails, the victim will be subjected to massive doses of pyschotropic drugs rendering them not only dysfunctional, but appearing to be delirious. Nothing is off limits when these predators decide that the victims’ assets should belong to them. In this condition they are summarily judged to be “incapacitated” or “incompetent”. Everyone in that tribunal knows exactly what is going on, including the victim.
It is seldom, if ever, that a victim of this predatory system is able to challenge the predator in the legal system. Isolated, traumatized, and many times chemically restrained to keep them subdued, victims are unable to assert their legal capacity and demand to be set free. This is no accident.
The elderly are being hunted by predators who do not care what happens to them. Isolated from family, friends and even religious connections, they are sequestered away from everyone. Isolated, traumatized and reduced to a commodity to be exploited and abused, they begin to wither, eventually succumbing to a miserable death at the hands of unspeakable monsters.
Guardians, attorneys and probate examiners: These are the predators among us who prey on other human beings.

Join Coz and Marti as Peggy Dupree returns with a huge report! Get your pen and paper ready, because you will want to take notes!
We will be going over Resolution Bill 103 presented by the Bar Association to congress. While many advocates and activists have strongly pushed for supported decision making, the BAR has has co-opted the idea and is recommending it be passed. But nowhere in the BAR resolution are close friends and family members suggested as possible supportive decision makers. In fact, the BAR has recommended only “professionals” be allowed to act in this capacity. Same game, same players. The assault on the elderly moves on with lawyers and predatory guardians feeding on the elderly for profit.
With billions being stolen annually from the elderly under these horrific guardianships, and more than 1.5 million now suffering under extreme hardship as a result, state and federal politicians have sat silent…except when the BAR shows up making demands. With supported decision making widely encouraged by prominent activists and organizations, and the cultural explosion that occurred behind the airing of the Netflix film about guardianship, they had to move fast to maintain control over this honey pot of free money!

Calls for more aggressive prosecution and the acceleration of federal reform
March 3, 2021 – Flagler County, FL – The number one Netflix movie this past week was I Care a Lot and its star Rosamund Pike just won a Golden Globe. The fictional film exposes exploitative aspects of the guardianship industry which may give you chills, but the real-life case of Dr. Lillie Sykes White is worse. Her family and other advocates have launched a petition for the U.S. Department of Justice and Senate Special Committee on Aging to investigate this predatory industry, aggressively prosecute and accelerate reform at the federal level. The petition and a video statement by Dr. White’s sister and only living sibling, Janie Sykes-Kennedy, as well as Dr. White herself, can be viewed at: https://www.change.org/StopPredatoryGuardianships
“I grew up under Jim Crow laws and the unjustness in this guardianship system reminds me of that,” said 85-year-old Sykes-Kennedy. “Families don’t stand a chance when the court itself is facilitating the exploitation and appeals are based on false statements in court records,” she added.
After spending eight years in a fraudulent guardianship in Florida and over four years isolated from loved ones, former Montgomery County Maryland school supervisor Dr. White died alone on December 30, 2020 of COVID-19. Her abduction and forced isolation by the court-appointed guardian and attorney ad litem silenced her voice, facilitated constructive fraud and put her in harm’s way. No official helped despite substantiated violations of Florida statutes by court agents.
“I’d like to go to the judge and talk with the judge and let him know my circumstances, and I can do it better than anybody else,” Dr. White said one month before she was abducted. “Nobody else can do it like I can do it because you see I’m a victim of it,” she added.
Joann Bashinsky was well-known for her selfless generosity and philanthropy.She was heiress to the sizable Golden Flake potato chips fortune. She had fame, fortune, friends, and a good heart. Yet, none of that was enough to protect her from becoming still another victim of elder abuse via the manipulation of guardianship and conservatorship laws. Sadly, she spent her final year and a half on earth fighting a fierce battle for the simplest thing — control over her own life.
All it took was for a couple of disgruntled former employees to file a petition with a probate judge (on the same day that they were fired, no less) declaring her to be mentally unfit, and Mrs. Bashinsky’s life was forever changed. With no due process, and without a judge ever hearing a shred of evidence in her defense, complete strangers were appointed to manage her money and given effective control of her life.
Horror stories like hers happen every single day, right here in America. People are thrown into a system that dehumanizes them, stripping them of basic freedoms and human rights, all in the name of “protecting” them. More than 1.5 million adults in the United States are under guardianships and conservatorships, with more than $250 billion dollars a year in assets at stake.
Certainly, some of these cases involve incapacitated elderly adults in need of protection –truly at-risk individuals who have no one to care for them or make decisions for them when they are unable. However, an increasing number of people are falling victim to predatory webs of lawyers, social workers, guardians and conservators — and to corruption in the courtrooms. Much of it is enabled by doctors who are quick to label someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s, even when other doctors disagree with their diagnosis. READ MORE HERE
Tonight on “In The Mix”…Did you know about “falial” laws? These laws remain on the books in 27 states. What does it mean? It means that adult children can have their assets stolen from them through these predatory guardianships that are rampant across the country.
A recent guest on our show was sent a threatening letter from an infamous predator guardian, that ended with the open threat that she would come after her (the daughter’s) assets if she continued to impede the theft of real property from her parents. The predator sighted the state’s falial law as grounds for the threatened coercion and extortion.
Massive nursing home bills can top 100’s of thousands of dollars. What possible services could be provided to an elderly individual that would rack up a bill like that, is unknown to us. But it doesn’t stop there. Medical bills are a separate issue.
You’re most likely to be deemed legally liable for a parent’s medical bills when:
Your parent does not qualify for Medicaid
Your parent is impoverished.
Your parent has medical bills and cannot pay for them.
You do have the ability to pay, or your parents fraudulently transferred assets to you.
Luanne Fleming who interviewed James Lowry and family last week will be joining the show. The link to the original broadcast is below.
Tonight our guests will be Christopher Lowry, his brother James F. Lowry and Jame’s girlfriend Rita Driscoll. James F. Lowry lives in Grand Rapids Michigan with his girlfriend of 11 years Rita Driscoll. At least he did until he became a prisoner of “the system” (youtube video) https://youtu.be/alg7tt418Yc James has a 30 year old son Steven Lowry who lives in Newberry, Michigan.
James F. Lowry 60 years, old suffered a stroke in August of 2019. James and his family want him to go home. Why is the Court Appointed Guardian not letting him? The guardian, Chasity Powers in Grand Rapids Michigan, Kent County, refuses to allow him to go home where he wants to be. No explanation for holding him hostage in an institution.
Listen to the initial coverage of James F. Lowry on Luanne Fleming’s “Hidden Truth Revealed” on blogtalk radio.

As often happens when I am researching one thing, I stumble across something totally unrelated, but valuable. This happened recently when I stumbled across Biderman’s Chart of Coercion. The chart lists eight progressive steps of torture to break an individual down. What caught my attention was that I was reading the exact method of operation used by professional predatory guardians once they target a victim and take them prisoner. And this is a hostage situation.
