From Gloria Sykes, her thoughts and feelings and one question about a Driver’s License exam for Mary G?

Posted on April 29, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

Dear Readers;

This is really what makes a blog special and what we all want to read, and that it the personal thoughts and feeling of those that are going through these terrible courtroom travesties of justice.

Just how do people handle all of this? Gloria hasn’t seen, touched or talked to her mother for a year now–its’ the worst form of emotional abuse to a senior. Gloria and her mother were very close for the 10 + prior years Carolyn ripped Mary G out of her home and neighborhood since the 1950’s and has isolated her in the remote suburb of Naperville. Don’t get me wrong, but suburbs are most useful if you can drive. And Carolyn is isolating Mary.

And that brings up another question (I gotta publish this one)–Gloria tells me that her mother had passed the driver’s exam in 2009! Her test wasn’t perfect, but SHE PASSED! That was in summer, so how is it at the same time some hack PsychD is saying she is incompetent! Huh? That’s what I want to know. She can pass a driver’s test, road exam and written test, but some hack says she is incompetent? Someone wants to invalidate Mary G’s legal documents from August 2008? That’s outside the statute of limitations for “Relief from Judgment” or to defeat a properly entered judgment. Why do they think they can do that. And Gloria tells me that in 2009 Mary was driving. To the Grocer’s and around the neighborhood. In fact, it turns out that because Mary G didn’t like to drive Gloria’s car (too big), she was borrowing a neighbor’s car! Obviously the neighbor thought Mary G was competent enough to drive.

What are they basing this alleged incompetency judgment on, exactly? Who in their right mind would do such a thing?

The videos, the pages of handwriting, now the driver’s license test–who does this?

More disgusting facts, more apologies to Gloria.

Now for words from Gloria:

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,

I can’t help but believe that God is watching us from above every time we sit on the toilet. I also believe God watches specialty events, occasionally guiding tennis balls to hit the edges of the white lines on the courts, basketballs off the backboards into the hoops, and baseballs over the walls for home-runs. God knows when people are dishonest and revengeful just like Santa knows which children are naught and which ones are nice. I think all people live “Under God” a deity peering down on us just like the manager at Walmart atop the customer service desk. That said, I have a keep sense of right and wrong: a strong personal and professional integrity that was taught to me by my mother and father. “Reach for the starts,” my parents told me, “and if you fall short, look how far you’ve gone!”. So you’ll have to excuse me when I say that the last few years have been a nightmare, a reality no man, woman or child should have to face in the real world. And so, when I tell the facts of the ‘horror story’ it is not unusual for people of authority to say, “you’re nuts’ and “that can’t happen [in America]”. One only needs to read the 12 or so verified court records that include transcripts, currently on file with the Cook County Clerk’s office/Probate Division and there’s no doubt in my mind that the repeated comment in response “you’re nuts” or “that can’t happen [in America] will be changed to “Oh my God!”

Indeed, Oh My God! But as God has nothing to do with the actions of dishonest, vindictive, greedy people, this reality my mother and I and thousands of “American’s” face every day. The media is filled with stories of people shows selfishness and personal agendas are now infamous. They work at such places as ENRON, Arthur Anderson, WorldCom, even the Roman Catholic Church: they’ve betrayed the trust of stockholders, citizens, children and the faithful — making our Democracy, our Economy, and our religious institutions less trustworthy in the process.

These particular stories have faded from the front page, but the story of Corporate Greed and selfishness will be in the news forever. The problem we have is that our Judicial is so well insulated, protected, that the “media’ has been silent, until now! Still, it’s drama is perennial and its social costs immense. The poet Rumi said it with reckless candor 800 years ago, “If you are here unfaithfully with us your are causing terrible damage”.

What my Mother and I, and thousands of other ‘victims’ of Court sanctioned abuses and financial exploitations of the elderly and disabled have experienced is not a failure of legal ethics on the part of our Judicial and the attorneys appointed by the Courts: it’s a failure of human holiness. Doctors who are dismissive of patients, politicians who lie to voters, attorney’s who intentionally “LIE” to the Judges and themselves and rob the elderly and disabled of their Golden Years and lives, and clergy who rob children of their well-being and childhoods! These people, men and women like attorneys Peter Schmiedel, Cynthia Farenga, and Adam Stern, for the most part do not lack ethical knowledge or convictions: they give speeches and seminars on financial exploitation and ethical issues and more than likely believe their own words. But they have a well rehearsed habit of holding their own knowledge and beliefs at great remove from the LIVING of their lives.

Over the past three years the THREE attorneys listed above, have not only destroyed my livelihood and stolen my homestead and assets, but they have intentionally taken from me my Mother who is also my best friend: they have willfully destroyed my Mother’s life and the lives of all people mother loves and trusts for their own financial gain. I am not ‘nuts’ or as the THREE want you to believe every adult child or loved one who stands up to the Probate Courts and attorneys are collectively, ‘bi-polar and mentally ill’. No, hell no! I made a promise to my mother that I will save my Mother’s life and bring her home to the community where she thrived for over 50 years, to the unrestricted and unsupervised life she once had filled with the freedoms to speak to and visit with whomever she pleased, to spend her money how she wants, and to have access to and the right to retain an attorney of her choice and sue the the people who have done her harm! What I’ve learned about myself is awesome, if I may say so myself. I’ve learned about friendship and the meaning of friendship: I’ve learned about love and the powers behind true love; and I’ve learned that the selfish, hateful, divided lives of many the officers of the probate courts across America – and particularly in Cook County Chicago, is pathological, so it always gives rise to symptoms — and if we acknowledge the symptoms, we may be able to treat the cancer — the DIS-EASE! When people error, they lie and then they coverup and hurt the innocents: the cover-up is always worse than the initial crime. Only when we are able to see it, can we believe it and once we believe that what most find impossible is possible, we start to un-numb ourselves and find the courage to prevail. If we continue to let people like Adam Stern, Cynthia Farenga, and Peter Schmiedel (including other attorneys from Fischel & Kahn) continue to manipulate the system, our judicial, bend the rules and live above the laws, there is no hope. But if we believe, as I do, that we’re people “Under God”, then we have the angles on our side. Personally, I’d rather have God and the Angels on my side than any of the political elite running the show in the Sykes case. Now I say, “Dear God, thank you for giving me the courage, health and strength to right these wrongs and save my life and in doing so, save my mother’s life” rather than “Oh my God”. I’m still reaching for the stars! What makes this journey, this challenge even more accomplishable is that I’m not alone: thousands of us stand hand in hand and will prevail, together because we know right from wrong, good from bad, and heck, we know God is watching us from above… even as we sit on the toilet!

(As I wrote my Chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement, I find myself missing my mother more and more. It’s been over one year since I last touched her, heard her voice, felt her unconditional love, knew she was okay. And so I wrote this note as a way for me to cope and move forward, as getting on with live is better than getting by with life… please cross post.)

On Friday, my assistant Julia was able to get to the imaging dept in Probate and obtain a copy of the Probate files from Dec 1, 2011 to yesterday or April 27, 2012.

Attached is what she found. Amazingly over six (6) months what was found is a clear pattern to exclude, snub, snob and ignore any pleading that Gloria filed, while on the otherhand, anything offered either orally or by mere hint of suggestion by the tortfeasors (GAL’s Adam Stern-AS, Cynthia Farenga-CF, the plenary guardian’s attorney Peter Schmeidel and company – PS) was grated without findings, no hearing, no discussion, and often without any written Motion or Notice of Motion–a situation prohibited by Local Rule 2.1 which says all Motions must be in writing and the movant must provide proper notice to adverse parties.

Isn’t this the classic case of corruption? Blagogevich was convicted because he merely hinted at “selling” a senator’s seat, when in reality it was to feather his political campaign fund–something the US Supreme Court in January 2011 said was perfectly fine.

The judge in the Probate Court declared in August of 2011 she did not have to follow court rules or Illinois Statutes pertaining to Civil Procedure in Court–she was exempt. Then she grants this privilege to the court officer miscreants–and now it is clear for the world to see this is a continuing pattern, ala Dorothy Brown who has finally provided some meager form of computerization to the Circuit Courts.

Why aren’t the Circuit Courts of Cook County computerized when the federal courts have been computerized since 200? 1) a thousand incompetent and computer illiterate patronage workers would have to be fired in a single day (although Dorothy Brown COULD keep them on as historical imagers pushing papers thru scanners, that’s what I would do until they died or passed over to the eternal world of civil servant); and 2) politically connected judges and their puppet attorneys (the GAL’s) would be exposed for what they are: money grubbing, family strife churning leeches that create nothing but pain and misery in a family while swiping free parking money out of a well funded estate.

Here is a sublime expression of what ignoring corruption and feathering the campaign bed leads to.

Have a good read. More to come.

The interesting, creepy and twisted status of the Mary G Sykes dilemma–now entangled in Probate, BK and Federal District Court

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

From Ken Ditkowsky:

The worm has turned. They miscalculated with the ARDC complaint. First JoAnne reacted by allowing me to defend her. That meant that both of us were going to be co-ordinated. This also meant that the pressure that would normally be delivered was obviated and when Black contacted JoAnne directly – a clear ethical violation – she had to be on the defensive. Her response to my fax of protestation was clear backpedaling and mumbling at its best.

A second series of miscalculations occurred when they did not carry through on my challenge to allow an independent investigation. If they were innocent had nothing to hide, why not clear the air with an investigation.

A third series of miscalculations was the idea that Gloria would fold her tent when she ran into adversity in the Forcible Entry and Detainer court and in the Bankruptcy Court. The ADA complaint they viewed as a bump in the road that they would bull doze out of the way, and the Chapter 11 was duck soup as most attorneys cannot put together a plan. Instead, Gloria came in there screaming about CT taking her intellectual property, the Sodini notices, etc. Worse yet, Gloria learned well how to mumble about the Statute of Uses! Where the hell had you come up with that bit! Indeed, the Statute of Uses (naked trust) voided Carolyn’s status! Would a judge know what that was all about? If they tried to push the sale of the house, the title company certainly would. The miscreants cannot be certain about delivery of clean title–let alone delivery of any title at all. It is better to wait until Mary dies and then get a probate court order directing the executor (Carolyn) to sell the house. But Carolyn not being appointed Executrix is not assured either, with all the tampering of the Probate Estate, the outstanding issues of her defending two Protective Order, etc.

As to the partition lawsuit, Schmiedel over played his hand. The Chase foreclosure could be tied up for years in the Courts. He cannot get all the necessary parties together in the same court. Stuart can poster, but she cannot move the foreclosure action. Gloria’s house cannot be sold without clearing the title of the Chase loan, and that cannot be cleared without addressing Gloria’s claims against Chase. They are not going away.

Further hanging over their heads is the fact that they really did not serve the Sodini notices and thus the Court has no jurisdiction. Every time you file something you mention that fact and the judge is aware that she is walking on very dangerous ground. In my opinion criminal statutes have been violated.

If you could get an article published on the Sykes case and tie a neat package all hell will break! The Tyler case and the Sykes case cannot stand the light of day. Nine million dollars is unaccounted for in the two cases. The IRS could bring a Federal RICO case against several judges, several guardian ad litem, and several guardians. The criminal enterprise would be the probate court.

No I cannot bring it – a civil RICO will not fly, but the Justice Department’s action would fly. Justice could give Stuart immunity and scrape goat Farenga, Stern, Schmiedel, Solo, and Connors. LB might be icing on the cake. She certainly knows that the ARDC complaint against me is bogus! At this point in time, she certainly has the message that I am not frightened by naked intimidation and did nothing wrong except insist on my First Amendment Rights to the detriment of such ‘august’ persons as Farenga, Stern and Schmiedel.

The objection that Gloria filed this evening reiterates the fact that there is no jurisdiction and continuing on is dangerous business. Gloria Sykes is not going away! Indeed, if the media stop being cowed and take up the cause of the angels a whole new religion is going to be established over the bodies of Stern, Farenga, Schmiedel and Solo. (Solo, Stern and Farenga are perfect villains – they look the part! – central casting could not have come up with better casting!)

Gloria – quite honestly I do not know why I cared, but I felt sorry for Farenga and Stern. I remember Stern from my youth. He was the little boy that everyone picked on. Farenga is the female version of Stern. When I say everyone picked on him, I mean even the faculty! As a youth I little sympathy for the Sterns of this world and they were safe from me as long as they left me alone. I guess I feel guilty that I did not stick up for the Zloob! However, I gave them both the opportunity to ‘help Mary’ and win my favor, but they turned me down. Too bad!

Ken Ditkowsky, esq. continues to find parallels to other cases…

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

Parallels

What is most disturbing is the fact that in relation to the Elder Abuse/Financial Exploitation cases history keeps repeating itself.

The facts that are related to me indicate that the Tyler case and the Sykes case have many of the same facts. It also appears that there are similarities to the Gore case. The nursing home cabal raises its ugly head in these cases and too many of the same actors are on the scene. It may be coincidence but [2 entities] are frequently mentioned whenever someone in one of these cases claims mischief is afoot! [One entity] also has a way of getting a mention. One of the ‘cabal’s’ enterprises similarly is heavily involved.

All of this might just be coincidence, but I do not believe in coincidence. When I was talking to the Marys’ the MO was amazingly similar to that we discovered in Sykes and the protection provided the Court appointed attorneys was amazing. Indeed, even though Ms. Tyler started out with an expensive condo (Lake Point Tower) and about $8,000,000 in assets family members who complained as to the fact that the assets were not inventoried were demonized. In Sykes the value of the Estate was about a million dollars and the value of real estate and Gloria was demonized – but the inventory was more secret than our Nation’s secrets.

Isolation of the senior was a prime weapon in the arsenal of the abuser/exploiter. Drugs were administered in both Sykes and Tyler and a vital and active senior was reduced to ruin. Family members complained to law enforcement, the judiciary, and even the [agency] with no success. Fiduciary relationships (guardian/ward) were honored by naked words and no action whatsoever.

The pattern is repeated over and over again without regard to location. No one seems to care, except the miscreants and their co-conspirators. Anyone who steps up and acts uppity such as yours truly and the Marys’ and Gloria etc. has to deal with sanctions. The Marys’ were charged with criminal contempt for protesting. Yes, they were ordered not to file anything with prior permission and did, but I believe that Near vs. Minn (Supreme Court) is still the law and prior restraints on the First Amendment Right are prohibited. The lack of jurisdiction did not stop my being hit with a $5000 sanction. When the Appellate Court reversed because of the lack of jurisdiction, the [agency] filed a complaint against me. Not only does the complaint make unwarranted conclusions, but, the Administrator admits to not having sufficient information to admit or deny the facts upon which the conclusions were based. As to Gloria Sykes every concept of fair play and Constitutional protect has been abrogated.

I have renewed my plea to law enforcement to make an independent investigation and in this regard I have written to Senator Kirk, Attorney General Holder, the States attorney, the Sheriff and others. I noted that political elite wax eloquent as to protecting grandmother’s social security, but are very silent when it comes to protecting Grandmother’s property and liberty. It is respectfully submitted that the few pennies that grandmother is paid in social security pales when grandma’s liberty, property, and civil rights are forfeit. How do our political leaders sleep at night? By their inaction and inertia they are a major part of the problem.

It may sound like a broken record, but I do not see Governor Quinn, or President Obama urging the tax authorities to aggressively and diligently audit the guardians who refuse to inventory millions of dollars of senior assets. The taxes, interest, and penalties to be collected in the Sykes case easily at this point in time are in excess of a million dollars. In the Tyler estate are in excess of eight million dollars. If the guardians (including the GALs) suffered a benefit they should also pay the taxes. Are these people immune from tax collection because they are sharing the ‘wealth?’ This scam is a more sophisticated form of ‘greylord!’

I offered the Sykes [entities] the opportunity to join with me in asking for an independent investigation of the allegations made by the friends, neighbors, and family of Mary Sykes. I said, if you have nothing to hide – join in the call. The silence is deafening. The admission of wrongdoing is easily determined by the failure of these fiduciaries to join in the call for transparency and an independent investigation of the charges made. The admission of wrongdoing is easily determined by the fact that the ‘safe harbor’ letters and calls to an investigation have been greeted by [agency] complaints.

From JoAnne Denison;

As an update, I have been alerted to another case, this one in Mass. where an attorney held a POA for her father and was moving money to pay his household expenses. AT Mellon Bank NY, the banker was giving her a hard time about paperwork, when she casually mentioned that if excessive paperwork were going to be a problem she could just move the accounts elsewhere (value $9 million). Her father was an attorney and had clearly granted her POA and daughter intended to allow dad to stay at home until he died. She was taking excellent care of him and often stayed over and involved him completely in her lives and the lives of his grandchildren, whom he adored.

Next thing she knew, his CPA went to court, had him declared incompetent, attained guardianship–all in a deal to keep $9 million at Mellon Bank in NY! Yikes. The guardian refused to allow the two daughters to see dad freely and started immediately to isolate dad from friends and family and they started drugging him with seroquel and risperdol–two dangerous psychotropic drugs used only on the most violently ill mental patients. As in the Sykes case, currently the GAL is adding other attorneys to the case to outlawyer the daughter and churn the feeding freenzy–all with court connected lawyers.

Guardian claims dad gets angry and violent–but it turns out that happens only when they force him to stay at a local crappy nursing home when he is “too sick” to care for at home OR when he wants to call or visit his two daughters. The guardian obtained a court order that neither daughter can see or talk to dad! That means no children contact and no grandchild contact. Words defy me as to that one. Is the isolation from all your children and grandchildren the height of cruelty and indignation for a senior–and a lawyer grandfather who carefully planned and drew up countless documents and trusts to avoid just that?

We plan on starting a blog for this one too, so if greedy miscreants are reading this, more and more of these cases will be published here and elsewhere on the internet AND BY ATTORNEYS. Lawyers that ask questions. Lawyers that are disgusted by greedy, thieving, cruel behavior which should only be found in those types of prisoners beat to death by other inmates for thieving from grandma and grandpa.

If this is your modus operandi, rest assured that I am being contacted by other (honest) lawyers in other states about starting blogs to stop this highly under reported yet extremely lucrative thieving that is continually destroying families.

From Ken Ditkowsky–a Response to the [agency]

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

Motion to Deem Request to admit admitted\

Now comes the Respondent Kenneth Ditkowsky and states as follows:

Prefatory statement

Supreme Court Rule 216[1] is intended to separate the wheat from the shaft and require the petitioner to Admit facts that should not be contested;

Rule 216 provides that “[a] party may serve on any other party a written request for the admission by the latter of the truth of any *125 specified relevant fact set forth in the request.” 134 Ill.2d R. 216(a). The necessity and reasonableness of the medical services a plaintiff received to treat her injuries and the reasonable cost of those medical services are facts that are proper subjects for a Rule 216 request to admit. Szczeblewski v. Gossett, 342 Ill.App.3d 344, 348, 277 Ill.Dec. 1, 795 N.E.2d 368, 371 (2003). Rule 216 provides:

“Admission in the Absence of Denial. Each of the matters of fact and the genuineness of each document of which admission is requested is admitted unless, within 28 days after service thereof, the party to whom the request is directed serves upon the party requesting the admission * * * a sworn statement denying specifically the matters of which admission is requested or setting forth in detail the reasons why he cannot truthfully admit or deny those matters.” 134 Ill.2d R. 216(c).

24 The statute was not designed to shift the burden of proof on to a defendant but rather to save the time and expense of litigation by eliminating the necessity of proof regarding facts within the knowledge ***610 **151 of the party upon whom the request is made. Szczeblewski, 342 Ill.App.3d at 349, 277 Ill.Dec. 1, 795 N.E.2d at 371. To that end, Rule 216 provides that “a party has a good-faith obligation to make a reasonable effort to secure answers to requests to admit from persons or documents within the responding party’s reasonable control,” including from the party’s attorney and insurance company investigators or representatives. Szczeblewski, 342 Ill.App.3d at 349, 277 Ill.Dec. 1, 795 N.E.2d at 372. However, Rule 216 also provides that a responding party may, in lieu of answering all or part of the request, serve “written objections on the ground that some or all of the requested admissions are privileged or irrelevant or that the request is otherwise improper.” 134 Ill.2d R. 216(c); Brookbank v. Olson, 389 Ill.App.3d 683, 688, 329 Ill.Dec. 835, 907 N.E.2d 426, 430 (2009). If the proper framework of Rule 216 is not followed, an incontrovertible judicial admission results and the fact is withdrawn from contention. Brookbank, 389 Ill.App.3d at 687, 329 Ill.Dec. 835, 907 N.E.2d at 429–430.

Oelze v. Score Sports Venture, LLC, 401 Ill. App. 3d 110, 124-25, 927 N.E.2d 137, 150-51 appeal denied, 237 Ill. 2d 561, 938 N.E.2d 522 (2010)

Discussion

The proceedings herein are not the usual litigation, but are proceedings in which a professional reputation is being defamed, and the Administrator has taken communications out of context and drawn conclusions that are not warranted. The respondent is not a voluntary party or an attorney in any of the litigation from which these matters arise, however, as a citizen of the State of Illinois and the United States of America he has profound interest. A senior citizen has been illegally deprived of her liberty, property, civil rights and human rights. Persons who have protested what appear to be extra-judicial actions occurring in the Courts also have been deprived of the liberty, property, and civil rights including the rights guaranteed by the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 1 of the Illinois Constitution of 1970.
It is respectfully suggested that the Administrator of the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission is held to a higher standard as professionalism than the ‘run of the mill’ lawyer. This fact is recognized by the fact that the Administrator must prove his claim by clear and convincing evidence. Thus, responses such as:

Response: The Administrator does not have sufficient information to admit or deny the purported fact contained in Request number 1 as the Administrator was not; present in court on August 31, 2009. (Page 3 Administrator’s response to Respondent’s 3d Wave Request to Admit)

Response: The Administrator objects to the term recruited. Respondent is attempting to show that the Court and the Guardian ad litem engaged in “doctor shopping” This is a disputed fact and in not the appropriate subject of a request to admit facts. The Administrator admits the Dr. Amdur signed a CCP 211. (page 3 and continued on page 2 of Administrator’s response to Respondent’s 3^rd Wave Request to Admit)

“Response: The administrator has insufficient evidence to admit or deny the purported facts contained in request number 6” (page 2 Administrator’s response to Respondent’s 3^rd Wave Request to Admit)

Is inappropriate and must be deemed admitted. The Administrator’s responses to the Requests to Admit are replete with similar evidences of the Administrator no complying with the criterion established by the Supreme Court of Illinois to avoid forcing a litigant to prove facts that in all honesty and candor should be admitted.

The Administrator after essentially disclosing that little, if any, investigation required by Rule 137 was done prior to filing the disciplinary complaint herein was been served with four sets of Request to Admit, each set having less than 30 Requests of parts thereof. Each of the Request to Admit refers to an essential fact that should have been thoroughly investigated. For instance, Matter of Sodini, 172 Ill. App. 3d 1055, 527 N.E.2d 530 (1988) requires for the Probate Court to obtain jurisdiction that notices be served on the close relatives of Mary Sykes. If as the respondent contends the Sodini notices were not served, this complaint must be dismissed. Good faith requires that the Administrator either admit or deny the fact. The criterion set out to protect people like Mary Sykes is very simple. List in your petition the close relatives and serve them a notice 14 days before the competency hearing. If the Sodini notices are not provided there is no jurisdiction to appoint plenary guardians, etc.[i] .

Complaints that aver that a party has acted inappropriately become an Oxymoron when a second set of rules apply for the Administrator and the respondent. Herein, as an example, the Attorney representing the Administrator listed in the Administrator’s schedule of witnesses a witness, JoAnne Denison. The e-mail that was sent to Ms. Denison was requested to be admitted. In paragraph 15 on page 6 of the 2^nd Wave Responses the Administrator responded.

“Objection. The Administrator moves to strike Request number 15/exhibit) as irrelevant to this proceeding as it relates to a separate confidential matter. Without waiving the objection that Administrator does not have sufficient knowledge to admit or deny the genuineness of the e-mail but denies the facts therein.”

Indeed! The Administrator in alleged ‘good faith’ and ‘candor’ represents that he does not have sufficient knowledge to admit or deny the genuiness of an e-mail sent from the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission offices by the very attorney who signed the responses to the Request to Admit.

The respondent and others have alleged that their rights protected by the First Amendment, the Fifth Amendment and the 14^th Amendment to the United States Constitution have been violated. The respondent and others have alleged that their rights protected by Article 1 of the Illinois Constitution of 1970 have been violated. The respondent and others have alleged that 735 ILCS 110 and 42 USCA 1983 are being ignored in this prosecution and in the matters involving Gloria Sykes and Mary Sykes. When in a response to a Request to Admit a document can be filed that in reference to a an e-mail sent by the attorney representing the Administrator that said states:

“****Without waiving the objection that Administrator does not have sufficient knowledge to admit or deny the genuineness of the e-mail but denies the facts therein”

There has been no candor in the responses, no good faith, and most seriously a double standard is being applied to the instant respondent’s rights by the Administrator. The respondent therefore appeals to this hearing board to declare all the Requests to Admit admitted and enter judgment in favor of the respondent in these proceedings.

The respondent has served four separate sets of interrogatories on the Administrator. Rule 216, like Rule 213 does not place any limitation on the number of sets of interrogatories and/or sets of Requests to Admit that can be served. Each set is limited to 30 interrogatories including sub-parts.

Wherefore the respondent moves for the Requests to Admit that were not specifically denied to be deemed admitted.

Respectfully Submitted,

Kenneth Ditkowsky

What’s the deal with the [agency] complaints taking sooooo long to be dismissed

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

Dear Readers;

One of the issues I have been struggling with is that the [agency] complaints against Ken and myself for simply running a blog about the Sykes case. I just can’t figure that one out.

It’s clearly a blog, it’s clear neither Ken nor I represent Gloria or Mary, we’re just concerned. I also have known Gloria, Carolyn, Fred, Mary G, Scott, Doris and other friends and family for years. I don’t get that. Ken was the family attorney, so why is Ken accused of lying about all of this? If anyone should know about $1 million in gold coins and cash in the mattress, Ken would know. I also checked directly with the friends and family and the gold coins and cash are well known. No one is amused by the cash grab by the miscreants. All the family–with the exception of the miscrants–agrees that Gloria was doing a great and loving job of taking care of her mother for 10+ years.

There’s little to dispute in this case–outside of the 18th floor, where the case suddenly enters the Twilight Zone with time, space and perception being dramatically warped into something bizarre, twisted and unreal. And out of that twisted, warped court room media has flowed a story that is strangely not investigated at all by the [agency] prior to filing a public complaint against Ken Ditkowsky.

So here is his most interesting explanation below.

take care all,

JoAnne Denison

Now from Ken Ditkowsky:

My theory on why the [agency] complaints against us prosper is that fact that there is a great deal of money involved. The value of the commodity goes down if there is a risk of disbarment. Lets take an example. A [entity] for being deaf and dumb and running cover for the [entity] is promised a fee of $100,000.00. this 100,000 can be paid part in taxable currency (check and/or court award and part in under the table funds – or all in under the table funds) The under the table funds can be a discount on a vehicle, discount on real estate, some fungible, gold coins etc.

A referral fee of 1/3 is paid to the sponsor. In Sykes [it may be] believe it is a political person who is receiving ‘nursing home dollars.’ In that case it would be a campaign contribution. (Gloria unearth a bunch of campaign contributions to the person she suspects as being the ‘clout!’ – she has come to her conclusions from a different angle and would probably resist my analysis.)

If the political person receives campaign contributions he/she incurs no taxable income until she/he elects to pay the taxes on the funds. As no one knows that our [entity] has received dollar one he is not going to tell anyone. He has a windfall. All that happens is the disabled person’s estate is reduced and no one is the wiser.

In the Sykes case about a million dollars is not inventoried. Shut you up, me up, Gloria up and no one has to pay dollar one in Federal Income Taxes! Let us go one step further. Why do the [entities] fear an investigation. A trained investigator is going to ask questions. Questions lead to answers. Answers lead to more questions and in the investigator is independent someone is going to have to account for about a million dollars of inventoried treasure trove.

The [entities] for the plenary guardian have filed numerous complaints with the [agency] concerning you and me. Ask yourself why? Ask yourself if the regulators are ‘pure!’ The GSA scandal of recent days should give a clue to the right answer! Also ask yourself why my ‘safe harbour’ (settlement) e-mails were taken out of context and are the basis of the [entity] complaint against me filed by the [entity]. Why is unethical for me to offer the [entity] a release from the Civil Rights claim that I have against them in exchange for them just doing their jobs? As you know I wrote the [entities] and suggested that if they had nothing to hide join and ask for an independent investigation! We have a better chance of having the President appointing either one or us Secretary of State

Of course the [entities], et al all might be pure, sweet and a virgin. It might just be a coincidence that the [entity] complaints against us are given credence even in the face of massive evidence to the contrary and the complaints against the [entities] for the plenary guardian are just tossed! As I said we have a right to differ and I will fight to the death to protect your right to disagree with me.

Do not fall down a rabbit hole!

Ken Ditkowsky’s Answer to the Complaint filed against him by the ARDC via Cynthia Farenga

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

Link below to KD’s Answer, Motion to Dismiss and Affirmative Defenses to the bogus ARDC complaint filed against him for merely calling for an investigation and emailing those that can investigate or help in that and posting to this blog! Imagine posting to a blog to get an investigation started is an ARDC complaint!

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6FbJzwtHocwR1lBd3NjMVVLdVU

Dear Readers;

As you are probably aware, Ken Ditkowsky and I are so far the only Illinois lawyers to protect Mary G and publicly fight the grave injustices done to Mary G Sykes, a woman ripped out of her home by a relative she rarely visited, and now lives isolated in a remote suburb of Naperville. The daughter Gloria who cared for her mother admirably for the past 10 years–an arrangement well known in the family–has been evicted from her home, she was ordered (without a hearing or any due process or service) to stop working on her home to make it habitable after mold damage, then the court froze her $200,000 in Indiana so she is now homeless and penniless.

Why? So the other sister can sell both homes, put the money in a trust that she benefits from!

Watch the video links shown below, sign the petitions, let the world know that you will not stand for an Illinois grandma and American citizen to be abused like this. In the videos she knows what she wants. She wants to live at home until she passes, she wants Gloria to care for her and she wants her property divided equally between her daughters. She is NOT incompetent to that extent.

Kend Ditkowsky and I have been caught up in all of this because we have been working tirelessly on this blog and to inform others of this situation–and those attorneys who will churn fees at hundreds of dollars per hour–want us silenced. They apparently have a lot of clout in Probate and even with the ARDC.

Two complaints remain against myself and Ken Ditkowsky–mainly for publishing the truth about the situation on this blog and in emails, and also to call for an investigation of elder abuse. Apparently, when it’s the court and clout connected attorneys doing the abuse, it’s no longer abuse. And when you stand to be awarded with tens of thousands in attorneys fees, you get to loot what you want from the elderly.

Please read the attached Answer to the ARDC’s complaint and help us out.

thank you.

JoAnne Denison

From Ken Ditkowsky

Dear Gloria and JoAnne;

Sorry that you did not receive this answer, motion to dismiss, and affirmative defense that I filed in relation to the spurious complaint filed against me by the ARDC. As you are aware I have very sensitive to any attempt by anyone that is reasonably calculated to shut me up. What is most disturbing is the fact that in reference to the Request to admit that I served on the ARDC that required them to either admit or deny the basic facts that they claimed were in the e-mails and which were untrue, the ARDC admitted that the administrator had no information to either admit or deny the fact. Indeed, if they have no information they cannot reasonably suggest that anything that I said.

It gets worse. The first pleading that I filed was a motion to dismiss pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2 619. This motion had three affidavits attached in support. The first affidavit was Gloria’s affidavit. The second was Scott’s affidavit. The third was the ADA verified complaint filed in the United States District Court. All of these affidavits confirmed the fact that every word that I wrote in the various e-mails referred to ARDC complaint filed against me was in fact true and accurate. To my utter surprise the attorney for the ARDC worte in her response to the Motion that there were no affidavit attached in support of the Motion. (This is the very same attorney who without my permission called my client JoAnne. Then when I objected to such an obvious breach, instead of just saying I’m sorry it was mistake she tried to **** her way out of it)

The ARDC has published their spurious complaint against me on their website, therefore, I assume that they will also publish this answer, and thus make available to law enforcement and others the information contained therein including but not limited to discriminatory enforcement of the ethical rules in such a manner as to thwart lawyerly complaints of corruption.

As I state in my answer, Illinois has a wonderful set of laws; however, they mean nothing as no one cares to enforce them. Thus, Mary Sykes has lost her liberty, her property, and her human rights, and Gloria Sykes who has stood strong and tall in attempting to protect her mother has been subjected to the loss of her property, her liberty, and intimidation and harassment. It should be noted that every single lawyer who Gloria has sought help from has been ‘talked to’ by Farenga, Stern, and/or Schmiedel and they have either been turned, or frightened off except you JoAnne and yours truly. The ARDC has received complaints against both of us, and is prosecuting me as I by complaining about the elder abuse/financial exploitation and the theft of Mary’s property am tending to bring the profession into disrepute. Of course the people who are participating are ‘model and ethical lawyers!’

There is a humorous aspect to the ARDC complaint. Even though I am a stranger to the Sykes litigation and have not filed an appearance for anyone and there is no way that I could profit one way or another, the complaint echos the Alice in Wonderland averment that I complain about the theft of Mary’s property and Gloria’s property to secure an advantage in the pending litigation. Indeed, except for the possibility of falling down the rabbit hole there is no possibility for this to occur.

Please publish the Answer etc.

And I would like to note (JMD) that if you follow the money trail, it leads directly to the Plenary Guardian, the GALS’s Adam Stern and Cynthia Farenga, and the Guardian’s attorney’s Harvey Waller and Peter Schmeidel/Dorothy Soehlig!

I have not received a dime from Gloria in years. I am doing this blog for free. Ken has tirelessly written emails, letters an d posts from this blog–all without pay!

It would appear that Mary G has been fleeced–of her home, about a million in gold coins numerous other relative can verify, as well as other property the family can and would verify if given a chance.

thanks for what you can do for Mary G, 93 years old and professionally abused.

Title:

Watch Mary G Sykes–a victim of elder abuse, probate abuse and financial abuse who was declared “incompetent” speak her mind clearly! Amazing footage of what the Illinois court considers “incompetence”!

Amazingly enough, she is supposed to be incompetent and her GAL’s Adam Stern GAL and Cynthia Farenga GAL have conveniently arranged a guardianship where her desires are NOT being carried out. She wants to live at home and have her daughter Gloria care for her in Mary’s home until she dies. Carolyn Toerpe had her execute a will where once Mary’s home is sold the proceeds are put in Trust and Carolyn Toerpe takes it all upon Mary’s death. Now Carolyn Toerpe has had Mary declared incompetent and is seeking to have both Mary’s home and Gloria’s home sold and the proceeds put in Carolyn’s trust. All of this has been done under the authority of the Probate Court of Cook County and GAL’s Cynthia Farenga Attorney and Adam Stern, Attorney. This proves that evil never sleeps.

Gloria’s ARDC Complaint against Atty Deborah Jo Soehlig

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

Dear Readers:

While we have not to date published an entire blog article regarding Atty Deborah Jo Soehlig, today is her day. I would excuse her if she were just a young associate that is easily deceived and blinded by partners with decades more experience in twisting and manipulating facts, but according to the ARDC, she has been around since 1987.

1987 and she still does not do her own investigation of the facts? That is indeed a very, very dangerous situation.

Well, Ms. Soehlig, I hope today is your day. To read this blog. To understand that what you are doing at your firm is NOT worth it. Gloria and her mom lived together for 10 years and Gloria took admirable care of her. Then Mary G was ripped from her home and family and neighbors she knew since the 1950’s and has been isolated in Naperville. Go look at the videos, please sign the Petitions to get her home. Look at the FACTS. They are selling the homes only for greed. The Soldini notices ARE jurisdictional. You are now wound up in a proceeding without standing or authority. It is clearly ultra vires in nature and their liability becomes yours.

Your job is only a paycheck. When you elevate your soul, the rewards are much, much greater in life.

I hope you can find your spine and read the blog, the entire Probate file and do your own investigation. Then quit. Walk out and go on your own. Apologize to Gloria and the court and set the record straight. I have been on my own now for years and years, but I need not be involved in greed and corruption and creating unjustified pain and sorrow for others.

If you can do this, I promise to help you. It has NOT been easy for me, helping others often without pay or promise of pay or anything on the horizon. But I have done it and I am still doing it.

Sincerely

JoAnne Denison

Now, for Gloria’s Complaint:

From the Desk of Gloria Jean Sykes

TO: The ARDC Illinois

RE: Attorney Deborah Jo Soehlig of Fischel & Kahn

To Whom It May Concern,

Yesterday, February 17, 2012, attorney Deborah Jo Soehlig stood before a federal bankruptcy judge, (Pamela Hollis) and LIED. This is not the first time she (and her colleague of Fischel & Kahn–Peter Schmeidel) misrepresented the facts to a FEDERAL JUDGE, or even a STATE JUDGE, but this time she did it with vindictive retaliation in order to further ‘bully’ me and dispossess me from not only my property “Homestead”, but also all property of my bankruptcy estate and procure a favorable ruling in order for her to have a huge financial gain. It is a matter of fact that:

(1) Deborah Soehlig will NOT get paid one penny for her unethical and lawlessness services provided to her client Carolyn Toerpe, the Plenary Guardian, unless she successfully does me great harm (renders me penniless and homeless in order to silence me);
(2) Deborah Soehlig is giving Carolyn Toerpe legal advice on how to financially exploit, willfully deprive, and otherwise, perpetrate egregious and deadly elder abuses against my mother, Mary G. Sykes,
(3) Deborah Soehlig knows she is before a Federal Judge without standing: that she or her client, are not “creditors” and she is wilfully interfering and abusing me in a proceeding that she does not belong involved in;
(4) Deborah Soehlig knows or should know the law(s) and the Bankruptcy Codes and the Rules of procedure, but still, she pretended that she had me served notice regarding her Motion to Adopt she (allegedly) filed with the U. S. District Court in re the Estate of Gloria Jean Sykes, when in fact I was never properly served and the Affiant lied;
and,
(5) Deborah Soehlig knows or should know that her client is a ‘fraud’ and that there is but a “Naked Trust” or the trust property was improperly claimed in the Mary G. Sykes Trust rendering it thereby invalid, and that her client has no right to possession of the property at 6014 N. Avondale (“Subject Property” or “Homestead”) in whole or in part: that said, Deborah Soehlig knows or should know that the illegal and wrongful eviction perpetrated against me dictated that I be dispossessed of the second floor only and that her client LIED to the Deputy Sheriff, creating false statements against me, in order to have me forcibly removed from the entire Subject Property against my will or consent. Deborah Jo Soehlig knows or should know that the Sheriff placed their purportedly legal sticker of dispossession on the second floor but that her client changed the locks on the first floor in order to dispossess me of the entire premises–an action which was false and unwarranted under the allegedly proper court order the Sheriff had attained color of authority thereunder.

Attorney, Deborah Jo. Soehlig, not unlike her ethically challenged colleague attorney Peter Schmiedel, have violated the same codes of ethics and professionalism and so the ARDC only need to refer to my numerous prior complaints against attorney Peter Schmiedel to pursue their investigation. Deborah Jo Soehlig knowingly has committed serious torts and criminal acts no less than that amounting to acts of civil terrorism against both my mother and I for her own greed and financial gain, and she told me yesterday that she will “dictate when or if I get my personal property, my tools of the trade and intellectual property, and or any of my confidential legal documents– including evidence much needed to prevail in the Federal Cases”, back into my possession. She LIED to the federal judge yesterday when she knows that the Order of October 25, 2012 is being appealed and that the court lacked jurisdiction to address that order — and yet, Attorney Deborah Jo Soehlig created the false and improper illusion that I was a “dangerous” person and her client was “in need of protection” and therefore a security company was hired to protect Carolyn Toerpe and Toerpe’s property at the Subject Property. Deborah Soehlig knows that none of the property currently housed at 6014 N. Avondale belongs to her client, or has ever in fact belonged to her client.

I have submitted numerous claims and requested protection under the ARDC’s Client Protection Program and I have been repeatedly denied. The loss of the properties of my estate, the egregious lies narrated by attorney(s) such as Deborah Jo Soehlig have caused me (1) loss of money and property as a result of the intentional dishonest statement by attorney Deborah Jo Soehlig;
(2) that Deborah Jo Soehlig has wrongfully misappropriated or converted, is using, and withholding my money and my property;
(3) that these loses occurred while Deborah Jo Soehlig was acting as Carolyn Toerpe’s lawyer and in a fiduciary capacity related to the practice of law (attorney for the alleged Plenary Guardian of the Estate of Mary G. Sykes);
(4) that because of the huge losses of property, income, et. al, due to Attorney Deborah Jo Soehlig’s deliberate fraud on the court which she perpetrated in several court proceedings, she must be investigated and disbarred, or at least suspended;
(5) that I have made reasonable efforts to pursue civil remedies and as late as yesterday, in motioning the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for a Rule to Show Cause based upon numerous misrepresentations, half truths and even outright lies, attorney Deborah Jo Soehlig, after court in the hall when I once again attempted to “work things out” and “set up a cooperative time to procure my properties while we work out the adversary proceedings– the Appeal, the ADA claim and the section 2-1401 that her client will be served today or tomorrow by the DuPage County Sheriff’s office–she has REFUSED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE OR REASONABLE COOPERATION WITH THE INTENT TO BULLY ME, TO CAUSE ME MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING in an attempt to silence me!

My losses have been massive since Attorney Deborah Jo Soehlig first became involved in these court proceedings relating to the Estate of Mary G. Sykes and these losses are due in full to her negligence, her lack of reasonable investigation into the facts and affidavits previously placed on file with the ARDC and posted on this blog, and her gross malpractice (rather than intentional dishonesty).
Some of those losses (financial and emotional), occurred because she and her client is not in fact an ‘creditor’ of my Estate in Bankruptcy. Rather, because she is falsely parading around in the Bankruptcy court as such, my claim is for lost profits, consequential damages, and costs to recover my personal, professional, and legal litigation properties. (Deborah Jo Soehlig has and continues to obstruct justice and she further instructs and advises her client on how to obstruct justice as well, inter alia).

To ignore the egregious and wrongful conduct of Deborah Jo Soehlig, who has LIED on motions filed, verbally LIED to state and federal court judges (the transcripts of proceedings where she has appeared are replete with such lies) and yesterday, she lied again to Judge Hollis in order to influence a Judge and discredit me for her own financial gain. Attorney Deborah Jo Soehlig’s motivation is simple: greed and money! She made an agreement with her client Carolyn Toerpe that the only way she will get paid is if she does me great harm, renders me penniless and homeless, and in doing so, illegally sells my mother’s home (and forces the sale of my home — “No, hell no I won’t let her do that and neither should the ARDC”), for her own personal financial gain.

You can easily check on all of these facts. Deborah Jo Soehlig cannot prove or show that she has been paid for her services over the past two years she’s represented Carolyn Toerpe. Her and her firm are waiting to sell the Subject Property and my home as well (“my Homestead”) by forcing a partition proceeding when she knew or should have known that I paid for the home in full, paid the mortgage and I was the only individual residing on the premise and that this arrangement was well known by reputable (that is, most all) of my family members–not those who stand to financially gain by the sale of my Homestead.

The financial exploitation, the willful deprecation of both my mother and myself is so blatant, that even a challenged child can see the FACTS that Attorney Deborah Jo Soehlig is using her position and office as an attorney, and using the courts in order to not only churn assets of our estates, but also to set a course that will ultimately ‘murder’ my mother. And inasmuch as Deborah Jo Soehlig threatened my life and livelihood yesterday outside the Courtroom of Judge Hollis in a direct pursuit of what attorney Peter Schmiedel wrote in an email to my one time attorney Joel Brodsky, that the law firm of Fischel and Kahn will do whatever they must to render me penniless and homeless for their own benefit (to get paid).

The legal profession depends upon the public’s trust. It’s been over two (2) years since I first filed a complaint against attorney Peter Schmiedel who appeared for the first time as Toerpe’s client on February 10, 2010 and I reported to the Probate Court that he was going to sell my mother’s home and my home too for his own financial advantage and gain. Because the ARDC has failed to act, failed to investigate, et al, Peter Schmiedel and Deborah Jo Soehlig’s wrongful acts amounting to little more than civil terrorism, I am now homeless and penniless and without any of my personal and professional property as well as my intellectual properties needed to generate an income, and of course all my legal documents. That said, attorney Deborah Jo Soehlig, if not stopped, she will assuredly not only instruct her client Carolyn Toerpe not just on how to murder Mary G. Sykes, but also on how to murder me as well. You at the ARDC continue to laugh, continue to charge innocents like Kenneth Ditkowsky or JoAnne Denison, and while ignoring the obvious, you are empowering criminals wearing legal suits and carrying legal briefcases and pleadings to do great harm to the exact people and general public that you, as a oversight agency, were lawfully appointed by the State of Illinois to protect.

I am extremely fearful for my life. I fear for my mother’s life. Meanwhile, Attorney Deborah Jo Soehlig continues to LIE to Illinois Judges in order to obtain rulings that will fill, or which may be currently filling her pockets with the hard earned money of good American citizens who have repeatedly reached out to the ARDC pleading for basic legal protection afforded to all.

I, and I’m certain other innocents, live in fear for their lives every day because of attorneys like Deborah Jo Soehlig.

FYI I have not received any confirmation that the ARDC is dong any investigation on attorney Peter Schmiedel after so many complaints were filed against him, that it appears that this is a John Wayne Gacy situation, that the ARDC will do nothing until many die — and then, it will be simply too late.

The last words Deborah Jo Soehlig said to me yesterday as I ‘begged’ to arrange for a cooperative time for me to get my properties from the Subject Property, are “You can’t dictate to me. We will dictate when, how, and if at all you get your property back.” She then turned on her heels and with her buddy, attorney Peter Schmiedel, simply walked away from me. Other attorneys heard this and a couple walked up to me in shock! Hitler is still alive and well…. is the ARDC going to allow Deborah Jo Soehlig to walk me (and my mother) into the Showers, too?

Right now, we’re both living in this Concentration Camp stage of hell on earth, and we can see not too far afield the Shower buildings which is assuredly the next step in this grisly process perpetrated with the assistance of the Schmeilig team.

Is the new Jim Crow in American’s Law Enforcement with regards to Senior Abuse and Probate abuse

Posted on April 16, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

From Ken Ditkowsky–all good questions for Law enforcement to consider and reconsider!

APPEAL TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
JIM CROW IS ALIVE AND WELL
At all times relevant Mary Sykes was a well-adjusted female, aged 90 years old.    In approximately 2005, Mary’s older daughter took her a lawyer.   When they emerged a series of documents surfaced that were deceptive and misleading; however, the intended effect was clear. The older daughter was to have full and complete control over the mother’s substantial estate.
Unfortunately for the older daughter Mary discovered what had happened to her when she examined her bank account and discovered that $4000 had been removed from her account by the older daughter.     Mary confronted the daughter and was told “mom, I invested your funds in an IRA”      Even Mary knew that at her age she was not eligible to invest in an IRA and after an altercation Mary sought an order of Protection in the Circuit Court.    The Court personnel helped her prepare the verified petition.
The daughter responded with a Petition to have a guardian appointed for Mary Sykes.     Even though Mary’s treating physician refused to sign the ‘doctor’s report’ the Judge advised the older daughter to find another doctor.     An ethically challenged doctor who would attest to both President Obama and President Bush being in need of a plenary guardian – such as the older daughter- was quickly found and he executed the documents.
The Court appointed two guardian ad litem.   These ‘clout’ rich miscreants immediately joined with the older daughter in her quest and they submitted an agreed order to the willing judge who promptly appointed the older daughter as the plenary guardian with authority to separate Mary Sykes from her liberty, property, civil rights and human rights.     The entire story is set forth in the probate file of Mary Sykes housed in the Circuit Court of Cook County 69 W. Randolph Street, Chicago, Illinois.
This saga is repeated every single day in Probate and orphan’s courts across the United States of Illinois.    Alleged abusers and other miscreants are given absolute control over seniors with little or no concern for civil rights, human rights, statutory protections or common decency.    In the Sykes case all the protections afforded by Law have been ignored.   A simple precaution such as naming and serving all the close relatives prior to an incompetency hearing for Mary Sykes was ignored and two years later continues to be ignored.
Just for the record the incompetency hearing provides for standard of proof referred to as ‘clear and convincing.’    The agreement of three interested people to the detriment of the alleged incompetent is disingenuous.     Other protections most of which are jurisdictional have been equally observed by avoidance or just distorting the truth.
One of the easiest ways for a dictator or a criminal to destroy dissent is to have opponent ‘put away’ as crazy, incompetent, etc.        Today, as reported on the Blogs and the Report of the United States Government Accounting office is the rampage of Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation of the Elderly.    Sheriff Dart (Cook County) sponsored a conference that addressed this serious problem.     The most vicious of these criminal conspiracies is promulgated by the appointment by the Courts of avarice motivated clout heavy individuals who are not burdened by the Judio- Christian Ethic that permeates American Law.    By Court orders, as occurred in the Sykes case, a plenary guardian is appointed (whether the individual needs such assistance of not) and this plenary guardian exercises complete control over the person and property of the victim.
With the aid of a ‘rubber stamp’ Judge, who approves whatever whim and desire of the guardian put before him (the judge) the senior’s liberty and human rights are forfeited.      As long as the money holds out the senior is kept from obtaining his/her final resting place; however, as is indicated in Scott Evan’s affidavit the interim between the guardian’s appointment and final reward may be a living hell!
Lincoln freed the slaves!    You and I by our procrastination have made our senior citizens the new victims of an even more vicious Jim Crow than existed in the 1860’s.       The new Klu Klux Klan headquarters in our probate courts.   A written order signed by judge substitutes for burning a cross or a worn bed sheet.
I urge Law Enforcement and particularly the Sheriff of Cook County and the States Attorney of Cook County to independently and fully investigate the Sykes case   My office will co-operate fully as will friends, neighbors, and family of Mary Sykes.
There are hundreds of people similarly situated who are literally dying for Law Enforcement to investigate the incarceration and looting of their mothers, fathers, brothers et al estates by Court appointed miscreants.    The ‘rape’ of the seniors in the United States is a National disgrace.    The ‘cover up’ is outrageous and a testament to the breakdown of the American culture.    The terrorist threat is from us!    We by our failure to root out the criminals who take advantage of the Justice System to destroy the lifetimes of saving and hard work of our mothers, father’s et al are disingenuous.   Every day that the guardians appointed in the Sykes case continue their nefarious actions is a sad day for every single citizen and another lesson to our children and grandchildren that if you have ‘clout’ it does not matter what the law says.

So much and so little space for today

Posted on April 14, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

I hope everyone is doing fine. Our court watchers are out there in full force.

Two major (fun) topics to read today. 1) Peter Schmeidel’s complaint against myself and Ken Ditkowsky which he apparently filed in April, 2012 which was a renewal of something he wrote to the ARDC in Feb. of 2012 which they held was DISMISSED. Yeah for the First Amendment and actually reading it, and believing in it. A link to the actual documents are attached and I think it particularly funny where he attached a copy of my blog; and

2) The Probate is still trying to erect a completely dead horse and attack a 2.5 year old judgment? Don’t they know that horse is dead. In December of 2009 Harvey Waller and son wrongfully froze all of Gloria’s accounts causing her much grief and consternation. Then what happened is they corrected that and Gloria moved the money to Indiana, I believe in someone elses’ name. Then they continued to freeze money in Indiana as if Cook County Probate court never heard of State’s rights and don’t believe it’s jurisdiction only extends to state borders. Cynthia Farenga and Adam Stern stood idly by, turned a blind eye, and I believe supported this move which was clearly ultra vires! Yikes.

Now it has been 2.5+ years since the underlying judgment (the Lumberman’s money to repair Gloria’s house), was wrongfully seized and frozen. The whole case makes absolutely no sense because the house is lying to waste, it is not getting repaired to sell, the court and GAL’s stopped that for some strange reason. Now they want to partition the house–it’s all insane. (Could it be money, money, greed, greed? you betcha!) But worst of all, the two year deadline has come and passed, and the Probate Court says it does not have to follow the rules of Illinois Civil Procedure, as if a King or Queen were sitting in the court room. Last I heard, the US did NOT adopt a monarchy in 1780 and appoint royalty in the courtrooms on the 18th floor of the Daley Center! I heard George Washington was elected and refused to adopt a monarchy on this soil and that happened more than 200 years ago.

Am I missing something or do we now have King Rahm Emmanuel, or perhaps the Board President Toni Preckwinkel has declared herself Queen and confirmed royalty status upon the Circuit Court judges? Was there a ceremony? Did I miss that edition of the SunTimes.

Anyone want to explain this to me?

Here’s the link to the documents you won’t want to miss reading, esp. since Prince nearly appointed Peter Schmeidel declared his ARDC complaint to be “confidential” (he might want to read those rules a bit more carefully, the recipient holds the privilege and not the respondent, duh! And I’m a generous chick that will willingly share stupid ARDC complaints for entertainment purposes on this blog) He wants his complaints to be enforced AND secret, as if that will happen with a mouthy chick running a blog. If I want to run a blog that is hypercritical of the ethically challenged antics of Peter Schmeidel, Cynthia Farenga and Adam Stern, I have the legal right to do this and question every bit of their greedy self serving actions in Courtroom1804. I’ll be darned if I give up that right. They are indeed the three stooges of the courtroom.

Ohh, don’t get me going

And now for the rest of the posts for the day. Thanks so much to the contributors who are willing to bravely share their thoughts to make this world a better place for grandma and grandpa and who refuse to sell out to the status quo!

Dear Gloria (from Ken Ditkowsky)

Even though Stern was quiet it is still three on one.

In the not too distant past ganging up on someone was considered ‘bad form.’ The Motion in Limine that I sent you once submitted should is reasonably calculated to force Stuart to sit up strictly to protect herself (as you will be sending a copy to the Judicial inquiry board) and make inquiry on the three stooges to respond. If she asks for advice from whomever is advising her he/she will tell her to quickly address the Sodini issue and if there is no compliance to immediately order the notices sent out and set a hearing.

By the motion in limine concerning Dr. Shaw you have countered the anticipated new step. That will not be lost upon her. By outlining all the jurisdictional aspects that are violated you have blocked Schmiedel’s next anticipated gambit. There is just too much wrong with he proceedings that will be on record for the Court to quickly hold a bunch of hearings and then proceed with business as usual.

It is clear that you are smarter than either Stern or Farenga. You frustrate Schmiedel as he cannot understand why it is so difficult to deal with Carolyn and her destructive moods and no matter what he does he cannot push you over the edge.

If you want a laugh – think what he had to deal with when he and Carolyn left the courtroom. There is going to be real shortage of fishing worms this year in the Naperville area. I imagine that when your sister reads the Motion in Limine Schmiedel is going to need asbestos panties! Count 2 will give him full credit for being so stupid as to be defeated in Court by a mere ‘girl!’

From: GLORIA to KEN D.
Stern said absolutely nothing yesterday as CF did 80% of the objections and Adam asked one question at the end about mothers attorney Larry from the center of concern. It opened the door to ask Kevin if he knew whether or not mother spoke with Larry about the appropriation agreement. They objected to the question but k was allowed to answer: he said no. I asked him if he ever advised mother too seek outside counsel regarding signing any agreement and he said he may have but really did not recall.

That at all times KS never reported to the court or anybody that mother was incompetent and didn’t understand or was not under legal advisement is interesting. I was not allowed to ask Kevin if he found my mother competent at the time he met with her when he did nit recall the conversation. Another words mothers counsel could not speak on behalf of mothers mental capacity but if mother was incompetent then they the attorneys should be libel for the financial exploitation.****

From: kenditkowsky, To: Gloria, Joanne and Tim

From the reports of yesterday’s hearing Gloria knocked the cover off the ball.

That gave me the opportunity to send Schmiedel an e-mail that should help both he and Cynthia on their diet. I did not copy either Farenga or Stern – just an oversight that should make the effect more *** when they see it.

What Gloria told me yesterday was that Stern, Farenga, Stuart and Schmiedel are in denial. They know that there is no jurisdiction but they are continuing their harassment in the hope of ‘cracking her.’ In fact they are completely at sea because they have not been successful. What is even more disturbing to the ‘bad guys’ is that they have not gotten Gloria to the point where she antagonizes all her friends and is alone in the wilderness. For this reason we are now the friends, family and neighbors of Gloria and Mary.

The bad guys know that they have no jurisdiction and the proceedings have great moment in their lives as they have placed their economic livelihood in our hands. Their insurance does not cover intentional torts, and the Greylord conduct can result in 7 figure non dischargable verdicts. The flurry of ARDC complaints being filed by these clout heavy criminals against JoAnne and me continues. As late as April 7 Schmiedel filed another ARDC complaint – this one was that I had a blog! So what – I have a right to have a blog – I don’t but these miscreants are not concerned with the truth, or the facts.

Mr. Schmiedel and Mr. Stern threatened me. I do not like green eggs and ham. therefore I will continue to engage in my little acts of friendship and brotherhood.

The next focus point is helping Farenga to reach her goal of being 300 lbs. In my opinion it would held Diane’s therapy is to feel anorexic

*******

Mr. Schmiedel,

I read in your ‘latest’ complaint about me to the ARDC. This one appears to be that I have a ‘blog!’ That is news to me! Let me enlighten you – I am a citizen of the United States of America and I have a good faith belief that Chicago, Illinois still is part of the USA. If you have any information to the contrary I would appreciate your immediate communication of such information.

Attached to your ARDC complaint was your response to complaints by ordinary citizens concerning your lawyering. They were indeed interesting. I know that I’ve mentioned this before when we had our first conversation – like it or not we live in the United States of America in the year 2012. At least for the forseeable future Article 1 of the Illinois Constitution and the First Amendment are still in full force and effect and neither you, Cyntha Feragna, or Adam Stern et al have any authority or right to interfere with my right or my client’s rights of free speech, assembly or our right to complain to the government.

NOw as to the Blog. In your complaint letter to the ARDC you complain about my having one. I understand that Ms. Feranga and Mr. Stern have made similar complaints. If I do indeed have such an entity (Apparently I also have a website.) my American citizenship gives me the such a right. Indeed, I also have the right to say any damn thing in it that I desire without your permission. Indeed, I do not need Adam Stern or Cynthia Feranga’s permission either. Why you think that the Illinois Attorney Registration and Discipline Commission can censor the words and phrases that I utter is also very interesting? As a public entity any action taken to limit a citizen’s First Amendment or Article 1 rights is strictly ultra vires and more importantly barred by Federal and State law. In fact you can also create a Blog and say anything you want. The only limitation is that the statements should be truthful or defamation could occur. A complaint to law enforcement that criminal conduct is suspected is not a defamation, unethical, improper or fattening. In 2012 United States of America even being critical of such luminaries as Schmiedel, Farenga, and/or Stern is not a defamation, unethical or in anyway improper.

Let me make it very clear to you. As I informed you in our first conversation I do not take kindly to threats or intimidation. I am very resentful of your attempt to intimidate me with the spurious sanction motion that you, Farenga and Stern brought pursuant to Rule 137 in a court without jurisdiction. The fact that the Appellate Court vacated the sanction because there was no jurisdiction will be addressed in due time. My clients and I will seek substantial punitive damages for the outrage.

The friends of Mary Sykes and Gloria Sykes are similarly aggrieved by what appears to us to be extra- judicial activity directed against both Mary and Gloria Sykes. Let me remind once again. Your statements on the record have been recorded and the record of the Circuit Court of Cook County Illinois will not be spoliated. They admit (in my opinion) that the Jurisdictional Sodini notices were never served! In my opinion that at no time prior to any hearing on the issue of Mary Sykes’ competency has the Sodini notices been served on close relatives of Mary Sykes. As this is jurisdictional and for the purpose of protecting a senior from being railroaded into losing her civil rights, privileges and immunities protected by the Federal and State constitutions it is my opinion that if Mary Sykes and her family are entitled to Equal Protection under the Law and the probate proceedings in regard to Sykes have been proceeding without jurisdiction. That should have some very serious consequences.

Finally the Friends of Gloria Sykes are aggrieved that Gloria Sykes’ Lumberman judgment should be collaterally attacked and that in spite of the full faith and credit criterion you, Stern and Farenga are proceeding before Judge Stuart in an Appeal to overturn the judgment entered by a Circuit Court Judge in the Lumberman’s case. What is really interesting is the fact that Judge Connors was part of a concurring opinion that pointed out that after a judgment becomes final, the only attack that is available is pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2 1401. In essence in my opinion Judge Stuart is sitting and hearing testimony concerning the Lumberman case as an Appellate Judge without designation. In my opinion she does not have jurisdiction and the freezing of Ms. Sykes assets was and is illegal.

Justice Sotomeyer in the Jerman case made it very clear that Lawyers and Judges are presumed to know the law, and this is a very strong presumption. It is my opinion that these jurisdictional issues that seem not to matter in the Sykes case. – however, Mr. Schmiedel in the year 2012 in the United States of America we judge lawyer’s conduct by the ‘clear light of hindsight!’ Lawyer to Lawyer these jurisdictional deficiencies should be remediated instanter so as to mitigate damages. Additional complaints to the ARDC complaining about my exercise of my right to Free Speech is just going to ultimately enrich my heirs! The acting under color of statute to deprive a citizen of his/her civil rights in my opinion is a tort that is not dischargeable in Bankruptcy.

You, Farenga, and Stern complained to the ARDC that I offered a ‘safe harbor’ to you in consideration of Justice being afforded Mary and Gloria Sykes. This ‘safe harbor’ was refused and is not being offered again.

I still desired to ‘free Mary Sykes’ and in the interests of being a good citizen and recognizing that I might be wrong (though I truly believe that I am correct) I then suggested that we all agree that the States Attorney be requested to do an independent investigation so as to sort out the averments and the alleged miscreant activities. That was also refused by your and it appears to me a concerted effort was undertaken to ‘shut me up!’ This effort is an admission that something is rotten in Denmark!

As you can observe intimidation has not worked on me or the friends family and neighbors of Mary Sykes and Gloria Sykes. We are continuing to call upon law enforcement to investigation and make certain that Mary Sykes, Gloria Sykes, JoAnne Denison, yours truly and every other person involved as a friend, relative or neighbor of Mary Sykes and/or Gloria Sykes be afforded their civil rights, human rights and equal protection of the law. We do not attorn or agree with you that we are second and third class citizens because we lack ‘clout!’ That said, Mr. Schmiedel I disagree with you, and will resist you at ever juncture, but I will fight to the death to protect your right to disagree with me.

As to my alleged Blog – The only problem that exists is the fact that everyone but me can access it and apparently knows all about it. I would appreciate it if you would assist me in finding it and accessing it. To my knowledge the only Blog that I have or maintain is in your imagination!
you may post this memorandum on your blog – or anyone else who desires to post it can do the same. What has happened in the Sykes case and similar cases is a travesty and a terrorist attack on the Civil Liberties of the senior citizens of the United STates of America. This new form of “Jim Crow” is a cancer that is killing the soul of America.

Finally–relief from the ARDC!

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

Note: Apparently, today both Ken Ditkowsky and I received a notice from the ARDC that attorney Peter Schmeidel had filed a complaint against the two of us and that the ARDC was taking no action! Way to go Ms. Black! We are not getting paid for all of our help on this case. Ken and I are outraged at the complete lack of procedure, protections and assistance to Mary G Sykes, a 93 year old woman ripped from her own home so that her one daughter Carolyn could sell the house and put the money in a trust fund Carolyn benefits from.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Now, from Ken Ditkowsky:

I have to file my 253 notice and the Answer on or before April 27. There will be another telephone conference concerning discovery on May 4 at noon. The ARDC will want to take some depositions. The only deposition that they have mentioned to date is that of Gloria Sykes. However, I assume that they will want to take my deposition and that of Scott Evans. To take those depositions they will have to subpeona witnesses. I will not furnish anyone, except me.

arranging for the discovery will eat up about six months. In the meantime I have outstanding interrogatories, request to admit, and a request for documents. The administrator is in a bind. He has not done the required investigation required by the Civil Practice Act. It is apparent that the ARDC complaint was intended to frighten me and get me to put in my horns and go the way of all flesh.

It looks like Ms. Black is getting an education. ON april 4, 2012 Schmeidel filed yet another complaint against Ms. Denison and myself. the complaint was another attack based upon the fact that we reported his ethically challenged conduct. Ms. Black sent PS a letter on April 11 telling him the ARDC was not interested.

This letter is important as it is an admission that the ARDC complaint filed against me was filed for a wrongful purpose – had it not been, it should have generated yet another count. Thus, two things are disclosed 1) the ARDC is recognizing that Stern, Farenga and Schmiedel are using it to cover up the fact that:

1) the Court lacks jurisdiction to interfere with Gloria Sykes Lumberman award and to continue the Probate fiasco that involves Mary (Sodini) and

2) that we are in 21st Century America and there are in fact Civil Rights that citizens enjoy and

3) that the US Attorney is alive and well and available to prosecute lawyers, judges and others who think that justice equals clout and criminal conduct is going to be overlooked by who is your clout.

The denial of PS’s latest complaint hopefully is an indication that we are recruited Ms. Black to the cause of equal protection of the law for senior citizens!

Another Option for Elder Abuse–The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

From JoAnne

While Gloria has not had much luck with the CFPB, it is an option for those suffering with Guardianship/Probate abuse—

From Ken Ditkowsky:

Gloria:

I know that you have been given the bums rush by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Like most government agencies they are not worth the powder to blow themselves up.

That said, there is now something new under the sun – the Administration is searching for an issue to over shadow its failures and to gain success. With gas prices over $4.00 and food prices reaching for the sky it is very hard for even the most loyal of administration supporters to be happy campers and not be influenced by their pocket books. Similarly, the Republicans – unless they have a dead wish – have to ‘trash’ big government and the many ineffective agencies that pollute the landscape.

To gain an easy victory, all that the administration has to do is send out the FBI to sequester the Sykes file, and they can bring criminal charges in a matter of hours. If they tie in some of the other Cook County cases (such as Gore) etc they can even bring criminal RICO charges. Moving to NY, California, etc they could send a scare into every miscreant guardian that would turn them all into bed wetters! The WAR ON ELDER ABUSE AND FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION OF THE ELDERLY can dominate the headlines from now until the 2016 elections! Tax bills issued by the IRS to Carolyn, Cynthia, and Adam in relation to the ‘looting’ of your or Mary’s safety deposit box would be a deterrent to every Court appointed guardian who has a desire to place a single penny of a wards money in his/her pocket. With the 50% fraud penalty and interest to be charged it is very clear that miscreants will help the economy and the budget.

Of course what is proposed is against the credo of the political elite – when they become dominant in any venue, they believe that they are above the law and the laws apply only to you! The Administration by attacking corruption in this vital area would be doing exactly what they promised when they talked about transparency! The soft underbelly of our dirty little secret will be shown to everyone – and by aggressive enforcement of the laws on the books the Administration can *****.

The Pollyanna attitude of these agencies must be stopped in its tracks!

From JMD:

I remember when I was growing up in the 50’s and 60’s there was no child abuse. It was a pack of lies if a girl said her father, grandfather or older brother or cousin was raping her. As a result, many, many women from that era suffered unimaginable psychological traumas that continue to impact their lives today.

Sometime during the 80’s all that stopped and law enforcement agencies and child welfare were required to actually investigate and not automatically quip a denial.

I hope that changes soon for Mary G. and all the elderly in the nursing homes who already have homes they want to live in until they pass.

A nursing home and removal from the elder’s own home should always be a last resort. Gloria is not a felon, there is not a shred of concrete evidence that she ever harmed or did anything a bit untoward to her mother. It is well documented in the family she treated her like a queen, taking her on vacations, splurging on her clothes, the beauty salon, vacations, etc. She encouraged phone calls, letters and visits. She let her mom write checks and review bills. Her mom walked to the local bank several times per week to discuss finances and check on her accounts and her safe deposit box.

As shown in the videos, there was still a ton of competence left with Mary.

Please do what you can to help her and watch her videos and sign her petitions.

Thanks

From Gloria Regarding no testimony from Mr. Lippman, esq.

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

From Gloria Sykes April 3, 2012

I noted an article on the Chicago Volunteer Legal Services, the non-profit where my mother sought further protection and met with volunteer attorney Mr. Lippman. Attorney Lippman read the 2005 Trust and advised mother that it was a ‘void’ trust: that Carolyn Toerpe was not only the trustee but the sole beneficiary and with no supervision. Mother was outraged. I know because after about 45 minutes of Mr. Lippman meeting with my mother alone, he asked me to participate: it was my mother’s wishes and she waived her attorney client privilidge. When I entered th conference room, mother had already directed Mr. Lippman on what her wishes, desires, intents, et al were for a new Trust/will and she was going to cut Carolyn Toerpe out 100%. Of course, I encouraged mother not to do that. Silly me. And so, Mother had the will/trust rewritten and all was 50/50. My property, she wrote, as she did in a previous will, made it clear with instructions that her only interest in my property was should she outlive me: she made it clear she had no ownership rights nor did she want to own the property. I subpoenaed Mr. Lippman to testify what he could — and in fact, JoAnne Denison spoke with him directly. What is interesting is that a non-profit legal service that has and is receiving large amounts of money in order to help seniors (free services), would appear before Judge Connors and have the subpoena quashed! Yep, and to make this even more interesting, one week after Connor’s quashed the subpoena so Mr. Lippmann could not testify that he found mother not only highly competent, but also that she indeed came to CLVS in order to and had vacated the 2005 trust, and that a new will/trust had been prepared according to her wishes, instructions, intents, et al, but that even though CLVS notified mother to come in and sign the new will/trust, Mother never showed up as she was in the custody and care of Carolyn Toerpe. That said, one week later, Judge M. Connors was hosted and celebrated by CLVS for helping them get the grant money set aside especially to help seniors. Ya gotta wonder how it is that a Judge denies a volunteer attorney from a non profit where Judge Connors helped raise money so seniors can get free services to protect themselves from vultures like Carolyn Toerpe, would deny Mr. Lippman the right to testify on behalf of mother! Here’s the press release that went out
CVLS Honors Judge Maureen Connors and Sidley Austin LLP
November, 2009
CVLS gave Judge Maureen Connors its Court of Honor award for her support of pro bono guardians ad litem, her sensitivity to the needs of low-income clients and for treating pro bono attorneys with courtesy and respect. Sidley & Austin was honored for providing long-term, high quality, free legal services to the residents of Uptown.

http://174.132.159.233/news/cvls-honors-judge-maureen-connors-and-sidley-austin-llp
The quashing of the subpoena was about one week before Connors was Honored. Here’s the article when she was appointed to the Appellate court. Please note that Conors was in the Domestic Violence Court for one year and Toerpes friend, Judge Gloria Coco was the supervising judge….. and other than mother, she helped other elders and disabled with the appointment of pro bono attorneys to give free legal services in Guardianship proceedings. See in red.

From Ken Ditkowsky — an email to NAGSA (Natl Assn to Prevent Guardianship Abuse)

Posted on April 7, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

From JoAnne Denison

Please see the great email below! I was admitted in 1985 and was told corruption was soooo bad before the Greylord indictment of about 90% of the judges in Cook County, that cash envelopes were commonly given openly at Christmas passed right over the bench that the judges were sworn to keep impartial.

Are we the only attys that care? I can’t even get other attys that I know well to become interested in fighting the obvious corruption in the court. I ask them to read the blog, sign the petitions and they don’t.

I have one case that was clearly “paid” and up on appeal. $750,000 in attys fees down the drain because of a case that was fixed. I think the judge knew what she was doing was wrong, because of course I filed a detailed Motion to Reconsider, never got yelled at and when OC asked the judge to yell at me, she refused. When she simply said “motion denied”, it was almost like she was apologizing for having sold out.

Other attys see this, but walk on by……..

take care all,

Subject: Re: see email I wrote to Elaine from NASGA

In 1961 when I was admitted to the bar Illinois (or rather Cook County) was having one of its paranoia sessions. We actually had two Court systems competing. We had the Superior court run by the republicans and the Circuit Court run by the democrats. Except in the Chancery Division bribery was so prevalent that several judges were reputed to have cash registers on the bench to keep track of the cash flow.

In the Chancery Division we had several judges who were fantastic. Not only could you get a fair trial but it was speedy and honest. Of course this may have something to do with the clients and lawyers who appeared. A case was received from the client, and the two lawyers immediately got together and agreed to whatever facts we could. We then agreed to whatever issues we could. This left few facts and few issues for determination. Armed with stipulations we visited the judge. He attempted to resolve the issues, and those that could not be resolved were set for trial.

Trials were straight forward and the plaintiff was required (if he wanted to win) to put on his case in the morning session (1 1/2 to 2 hours) and the defendant by the end of the day. If the case dragged on the lawyers just had not done their job. We were all friends and even socialized together. None of us made alot of money as we churned out cases without any fluff! Do not get me wrong – we did very well, but our clients were not frightened by the postman delivering the bill.

In the Courts in which we had cash register judges the judge was aware that no every lawyer played the game, and those who did not were apt to rock the boat. I was so naive that I lived in this world and had no idea who was on the take and who was not! The revelation occurred when a Judge called me on the telephone and said: “the bid is five.” I had no idea what he was talking about. When I found out I was outraged! and just prepared my case with an eye on an appeal. My buddies guided me with great care so that I crossed every t, and dotted every eye. (The case settled after the Judge ruled against me – the other lawyer’s offer of settlement was “what do you want?” I told him and it was agreed. I do not know who talked to him, if anyone, all I know is that he kept me busy with referrals for a very long time). (I never told him about the telephone call “the bid is five.” )

A judge has no immunity to protect him from corruption. If he/she obtains any unauthorized benefit or remuneration he commits a Federal or State crime. This does not mean he/she cannot do alot of damage and/or many not get away with corruption for a long time – however – the wages of sin are not very attractive. I feel that with the Sykes transcripts and the statements that are recorded a very nice opportunity exists for the Fed to repopulate one or more of its prisons with some law trained people. The Sykes case with its large horde of gold coins, it lack of Sodini notices, its obvious intimidations, it extra-judicial proceedings (the sanction action against me and seizure of Gloria Sykes assets), the suppression of the videos of Mary Sykes, the ‘cover-up’ by the guardians etc is an excellent vehicle to be a first step in the fight against Elder Abuse and Financial Explotation of the elderly.

My point is that there are honest judges out there, honest guardians, and a great number of ‘good people.’ These people are the solid core of our justice system and we want them to give us honest and candid decisions mandated by the facts and law. We want them to make unpopular decisions as well as popular decisions(whether ‘right or wrong’ ) as the facts dictate. For this they need immunity. In the ARDC complaint filed against me the admission that no investigation was made and that the Administrator had no knowledge as to whether or not the allegations that I am reported to have made is true or false is a disgrace and indicative of an ethically challenged system – however, it the decision to bring the complaint was motivated by honest and integrity and not an attempt to silence dissent I would support it. If as I believe the complaint was brought to supress my First Amendment Rights the author and those who provided the inducement for the filing ought to be brought to the bar of justice.

My point – the baby should not be thrown out with the bathwater. This fight is not going to be easy or quick.

according to Barb Johnson — author, “Failed Justice – Behind the Black Robes” probate judges in Mass do not even need to be attorneys, and lay people untrained in law can be appointed as probate judges. Likewise according to Barb …… the Mass probate/family court system is fraught with political patronage.

Barb was summarily disbarred for life — she has since moved to Costa Rico —– if you wish to chat with her …. and she is very welcoming and responsive feel free to write her at barbjohnson74 at gmail.com, her soapbox is abolishing judicial immunity.

The Ken Ditkowsky Petition on Care 2.com

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

Posted on April 6, 2012

Let’s start out Good Friday and the first day of Passover or as I call it, “Peaster” helping our good friends in need, and this one is Ken Ditkowsky. So Happy Peaster and Spring Solstice to all.

So first–the latest news on Ken Ditkowsky.

To prove that KD wasn’t lying to the ARDC he submitted detailed affidavits from Gloria Sykes and Scott Evans. Lea Black then DENIED his Motion to Dismiss based upon the fact the Petitions were not enclosed. Ken swears he placed them in each envelope. The Motion to Dismiss should have been reconsidered based on the fact these affidavits were conveniently, accidently-on-purpose lost by the ARDC. (Note that the ARDC has NEVER responded to the complaints of Gloria or any of her and Mary’s friends. Those are also conveniently, accidently-on-purpose lost by the ARDC!)

Come and see what 65 individuals have written to help out Ken Ditkowsky.

Add your signature ASAP. I plan on faxing a copy of the petition to the ARDC today!

I know some attys do horrific things. Think of all the politicians who have gone to prison–for selling senate seats and such.

But then there are the rest of us that work tirelessly for our clients–long hours, no pay. And often we aren’t even appreciated by the client that doesn’t understand all of what is going on. I assure you that you have to be tough as nails to be an attorney, that cares, that works without pay, that wants to make the world a better place for grandma and grandpa.

I can’t tell you the number of times I have walked over to the Daley center, knew I was going to be yelled at by an unfair court and clout happy counsel on the otherside, repeating, “yea thru the valley of death” (this is actually an analogy to walking in earth or being here, only the bravest entities come, what an armpit!) Sometimes I think that the state court system is clogged with cabals of petty thieves and their puppet judges. Ah, but then I recall the blissful days of Federal Court where perhaps you disagree with what the judge has determined, but you KNOW he has made a careful, intelligent, informed decision that is based in law.

So PLEASE sign this petition or only the politician lawyers will be left, and we know where they end up!

No one should have do deal with financial exploitation….especially a 92 year old woman, along with abuse. Sad case. I had the same thing happen to me, only it was for my daughter who was being abused by her father….I am now destitute and he has more hours with her. Probate court or Circuit court is just Circus Court. It is unbelievable what they are doing to that poor woman, along with many others. It is hopeful to see that this woman’s Lawyer is getting what he deserves for his actions. To many others slip through the system.

On Monday, March 12, 2012 my sister Carolyn Toerpe ‘lied again”, this time saying that the Cook County Sheriff directed her to do this or that. Meanwhile, my mother is held hostage and isolated. My Mother directed me to find attorney Kenneth Ditkowsky, an attorney who not only was her long time litigator and estate planner, but also a friend. To deny my Mohter the right to an attorney and then, attempt to sanction or disbar Mr. Ditkowsky for doing what any decent person would do: investigate and report the truth, is as evil as what my sister has ben empowered to do: slowly kill my Mother while she does whatever she can to silence me. On behalf of my Mother I thank Mr. Ditkowsky: he is her hero and I pray one day she is able to thank him herself. Together we must stand and stop these crimes against good American Citizens who, when called to help, risk everything in order to save anoter person’s life. xo

I lost my own mother at the age of 65 due to lies and corruption of the nursing homes, atty ad litem, ct social worker, and the court. Mom wanted to come home but the guardian would not let her and guardain DNR and put her in hospice though she was not terminal and her health declined because of all the mental drugs forced upon her. Her only reason she had a pinched nerve and back spasm. but was left blind and deaf due to forced unnecessary psych drugs. She had an adverse reaction too. Courts took all her rights and mom was at the mercy of the court. The court ignored my pleas and complaints.

My family has been severely victimized by the probate court, the conservator/guardians, ALL attorneys purporting to be in my father’s (the VICTIM) best interest. My father was isolated from the “objector” (myself and my daughters….the three people he loved more than anything on the world), abused mentally, physically and ultimately put on “hospice” (ran out of money) and forced to injest Haldol, Serequel, Oxy etc. until he died. I have the medical reports that state the main issue that he was suffering from was dehydration and a UTI which the guardian allowed to fester for over a month in effort to force the hospital to admit him. (three days inthe hospital allows them to move “wards’ to care facilities without court approval). The way that Gloria and her mom has been treated by her “sister” et al is virtually identical to how we were treated…the petitioneer, my father’s son, was in it for greed as were the ones that collaberated with him to torture then terminate my fathers life. Thank God that Gloria has an advocate like Mr. Ditkowsky! How evil can these people be. For the sister Caroline….I imagine you will see my “brother” where you will eventually end up….Karma! Seems a little uncanny that Gloria’s story is almost identical to most of ours that have suffered the same horrible series of events. Please read Oregons new articles on Sue Lee with conservator Nancy MacDonald (very similar) and Benjamin Alfonso with the ODVA and other familiar names. This is epidemic and any one that has a working brain will see the systematic victimization at work…..QUIT SHOOTING THE MESSENGER!!

PS–And if you’re listening Lea Black from the ARDC, if you’re doing stuff like this and persecuting innocent attorneys trying to make the world a better place for grandma and grandpa despite a huge senior housing industry that is apparently wired into our court system, my advice to you is to quit your job and come work for me. Oh, it will be only at $15 per hour and no health insurance, but you don’t realize the vast improvement in goodness and health to your soul. I would rather STARVE than work in a place that does things like that. That’s why I haven’t worked at a large law firm in YEARS. And I would never work for Chicago, Cook County or Illinois state government where lawyers get “told” what to do and then get thrown under the bus.

From Ken Ditkowsky-Requests to Admit to ARDC

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

This afternoon we filed with the Attorney Registration and Discipline Commission a Notice to produce documents and the 3rd wave of Requests to Admit.

The first set of Requests to admit evoked an evasion of the Requests. However, by the attempt to avoid responding to the very facts that the ARDC will have to prove to be incorrect in order to prove me a liar, the ARDC admitted that they did not investigation. The horn book law is as foolows:

Rule 216 rule requires absolute good faith and truthfulness in a response, and any responses which seek to evade answering will not be countenanced.2 The answering party is required to ascertain the truth of the request if the ability to do so is reasonably within its power. 10 Ill. Prac., Civil Discovery § 16:21 (2011)

In order to brand me as a liar, even the ARDC has to meet some objective standard – not investigating and relying upon the political elite and their cronies is not sufficient unless the double standard is more overt that previously. Some of you have expressed the view that the ARDC is wired. As every word that I wrote is confirmed by my investigation, the affidavit of Gloria Sykes, the affidavit of Scott Evans, and/or the verified ADA complaint filed in the United States of America and reconfirmed in the transcripts of the proceedings in open Court it is clearly disingenious for the Requests to Admint not to be admitted.

This afternoon I requested that the ARDC join with me in requesting the States Attorney of Cook County to investigate the charges, allegations and avements made in the Sykes case. In particular starting with square one: where are the Sodini notices and proofs of service? They are not in the Court file and Mr.Schmiedel has admitted that they do not exist. As the Sodini notices were not served it is apparent that no jurisdiction exists – ergo Count 2 fails as Stern/Farenga are not properly appointed and acting at best in a defacto manner.

EAch allegation that has been made can be similarly verified in the Court record, transcripts or in other documentation. The safety deposit box that was at the Pullman Bank was in the name of Gloria Sykes and Mary Sykes. Carolyn Sykes had it drilled. The Bank is required to keep records! How could Carolyn Sykes accomplish this feat! A simple investigation will disclose this fact. The inconvenient truth is obvious! Where were the guardian ad litem? Where is law enforcement?

The list goes on and one. At some point in time law enforcement will have to investigate – it might just as well be now!

Has our law enforcement devolved into just a CYA operation?

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Joanne M Denison

This is the problem – no one wants to get involved. The Gore case, like the Sykes is an example of the corruption that has distorted parens patrie and turned a honorable, necessary, and laudable legal concept into something dirty and corrupt. If law enforcement is more than a CYA operation it would have a task force in place to fully and completely investigate the terrible specter of politically enhanced attorneys preying on the elderly and those who cannot help themselves. It is too bad that when the public celebrates Easter the teachings of the Savior are just mouthed and ignored. Similarly, during the Jewish high holy days we pay about as little attention to the teaching of the Torah as possible. Afterword’s we go out and vote for the very people who foster the corruption! Fortunately from time to time one or two of us does something and some of the bad guys gets run out of town. Greylord, the conviction of Governor Ryan, the conviction of Governor Blago etc occurs. Now is the time to get out the tar, the feathers, and the rail! Brothers Stern, Schmiedel and Sister Faranga have in a loud and clear message admitted that they participated in the separation of Mary Sykes from her property, her liberty, and her civil rights and intend to continue if we (as citizens) do not act appropriately and accordingly. It is now apparent in the Sykes case that the three clout heavy attorneys are not clean and they certainly do not want an investigation. It is also clear that they think that the Court is going to protect them. Thus, they are waiting for the next shoe to drop. Gloria fired it yesterday! She sent a reiteration of her ARDC complaint against Schmiedel to the ARDC. The last time their reaction was immediate – they investigated me and filed a complaint against me. (Who says there is no justice!) While Gloria’s ARDC complaint against Schmiedel was not the shoe that I intended to drop, there will be more shoes to drop and they will come one at time when I and you decide to drop them. As this is a community project, I invite everyone to get in their licks! It is wonderful to have genuine ‘bad guys’ on the other side. My scenario is independent of all the stones that us righteous defenders of the ‘little old ladies’ seek to do in defense of motherhood, grandmotherhood, senior citizens and the American way. The three clout heavy attorneys have admitted that they are ‘bad guys’ and have stolen from a little old lady (Mary Sykes) The refusal to request an independent investigation defines the fight as a fight of ‘good’ (us) against ‘evil’ (Them). Had they nothing to hide they would have immediately accepted out challenge. Thus, we can be righteous defends of all that is good and the America Democratic system from those who would pervert it and destroy it by systemic corruption. This is a rare opportunity. There are few times in a lifetime that an opponent labels themselves as a ‘bad guy!’
