And it’s Official the Policy on Visitation of the OPG of Illinois

Dear Readers;

Now to start off with, I can’t believe that in the Janie Thomas Estate case, the judge actually preferred to hand over this woman to have a guardian that has more complaints than Doans has pills, and yes, Doans pharmaceuticals made a lot of pills in its hey day.  I was told during a 5 day grueling trial there were no other options.  Really?  A government agency–with a ton of ton of serious complaints against it?  I for one would like to know how they can lose track of ward for months, but still bill the estate for “social services” (LB estate), how they can tell wards they have to live in locked down facilities or they will get no food or housing money, etc.  And when they drain the estate, they withdraw from the case, leaving the ward homeless and penniless. It’s not their fault, right?  Got that.  I wouldn’t even do that to a pet rock, but apparently some bureaucrats think it’s okay to treat the elderly of the State of Illinoi that way.

But nevermind, that’s exactly what the new judge in 1804 recently did.  New judge, same as the old judge.  So, is it in the water, or is it in the leather chair the judge sits in.  I’m just wondering.

And of course, you can say on this blog, but Ms. Joanne, you’re being so unfair, those judges are so smart, they are doing their best, they don’t want to harm an old debilitated senior citizen.  They have law degrees, 8 to 10 years of college.  They say they care.

Right.  I submit they know exactly what they are doing, there are agreements made far in advance, and no one–not a judge or probate attorney will deny that the following insulting and illegal policy isn’t their official policy when they take over a case.

My only question is, they know who I am and what I do.  Do they think that I would not publish this?  And how many of you probate victims have not suffered under such an unfair and clearly illegal policy, but because it was issued by “THE GOVERNMENT”, they get away with it.  Left and right.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6FbJzwtHocwdmtiNm5ERGJ5Wnc/edit?usp=sharing

is absolutely inexcusable.  Many of you have been through this.  People work 9 to 5 weekdays. But these people are excluded.  Hours are limited. Federal laws say elders must not be isolated–meaning if Janie wanted to see her family and the family wanted to see her, that HAS to happen.

So what was Janie and her devoted sister doing before all of this?  Each Sunday with family, going to church, going out to dinner.  Janie months earlier would go to meditation classes, out to eat with family and friends, heck, she even did line dancing.

What is the policy of the OPG and their nursing home friends?  No going out–ever.  You read it here.  In the case of Ms. KS of Rockford, until I complained in court, that woman had not see the light of day for 2 and a half years!  The OPG did not care.  When the son complained he was either sushed up or ignored in court.  You have to get a lawyer to get a couple hours of sunshine under our wonderful OPG system.

But the courts hand off seniors who can get far better care from family members on a regular basis to the OPG–an agency with tons of wards, tons of cases, they see the wards maybe once or twice a year — or never.  They bill for services never received and they drain estates.  We were all told in court there was no option to settle because the court had no option besides the OPG.  In a country of this size, a state of this size, a county of this size–no other option than to isolate, bad this woman from her church, family and friends, and never let her go outside ever again.  Please.  If there really is no option, then something is seriously wrong.  We need to take the profit motive out of guardianships and make them pro bono, that’s all.

Not so with the Illinois OPG. They don’t want complaints. They do not want to be sued for abuse.  So they artifically limit hours.

I sent an email to the OPG protesting this illegal policy, without response.

I hope you all will leave your comments and requests to post.

This abuse has to stop.  Family members have a right to see their loved ones during visiting hours the nursing home sets–not the State of Illinois.

If Janie were broke, no one would care. But she has money. So the OPG issues this policy.

But the real question is, do we need this type of government intrusion into our families?  To keep us from our loved ones as often and frequent as possible, until they lose all hope, become despondent and die.

I am sorely disappointed.

From Gloria–do state lawyer disciplinary boards undermine human and civil rights?

As you all know, human and civil rights are guaranteed in the US constitution and in the Illinois constitution, as well as international treaties the US subscribed to.

From Ken Ditkowsky

I heard and participated this morning in a Florida Conference on the subject of elder cleansing.   A promise to do something positive concerning it was made by Florida Bar president Coleman.    Here in Illinois, not only are we embarrassed by being the 2nd most corrupt State in the union, and the number one State in fleeing residents, but we have some of the most unresponsive public servants imaginable.   From my amateur investigation I learned that many of the worst elderly cleansing operators have a locus in quo right here in Illinois.     I therefore, last week wrote the Administrator of the IARDC a letter – which he has not answered.    I am therefore forwarding to him at every e-mail I have for him the following letter:

August 6, 2014.

Last week I wrote you the following:

“Dozens of   friends and family of victims of Elder Cleansing have written to your commission and all have received a letter that said that your agency was not interested in the obviously criminal conduct of a small group of lawyers being reported.      Each complaint was essentially the same.     A senior citizen was railroaded into a guardianship in which his/her liberty and property were confiscated.      The looting of the estate was accomplished by the direct violation of the directive of 755 ILCS 11a – 3 (b) in that the elderly and/or disabled victim was separated from his/her prior life and family members who would not attorn to the artificial arrangement and the unjust enrichment of judicial and other officials.   (other officials include guardians and attorneys).     After the looting was complete, the elderly person was subjected to a sometimes drawn out involuntary assisted suicide.

Some of the citizen complaints that were not investigated and not acted upon related attorney conduct that is so despicable and wrong that you dishonor the entire legal profession with your refusal to investigate.     The mining of the teeth of senior citizen Alice Gore orchestrated by an Illinois lawyer and ignored by your commission is illustrate of the neglect of duty that you have exhibited.       The attempt to silence attorneys who speak out as to corruption in the Courts is another low point in your tenure and is at the very least the aiding and abetting of the felonies associated with elder cleansing.    

I written to you and your commission before and asked for you to join in calling for an HONEST intelligent complete and comprehensive investigation of the cottage industry of elder cleansing and in particular that which occurred in the case of Mary Sykes 09 P 4585.     You of course have not joined in or conducted any investigation.        The net was you marshalled your kangaroo panels and I am suspended for four years for the exercise of my First Amendment Rights.      You then started proceedings against JoAnne Denison who published on her blog some of my First Amendment utterances.      Currently, Ms. Denison, in response to what appears to be the misreporting of the perjured words and phrases of a Judge you have continued with your ‘cover up’ by refusing Ms. Denison the audio transmission of the testimony.           I suggest that you read 18 USCA 371.     

You have accused me of making false statements but have never articulated a single statement that you claim was or is false.   I challenge you and herewith demand for you to instanter provide me and the community with a list of each statement that you claim was false.         Then for every statement you claim was false set forth the basis upon which you claim the statement was false.  

The foregoing notwithstanding the Friends and family of each of the victims of elder cleansing who have written attorney complaints to your commission want to know why you have refused to investigate the violations of the civil, human, property, and liberty rights of their loved ones who have been railroaded into guardianship by Illinois attorneys.     We would like to know why you are protecting certain attorneys and not others.      Attorney Miriam Solo has been accused by the family of Alice Gore of what amounts to a human rights violation.     Adam Stern, Cynthia Farenga, Peter Schmiedel and other have been accused by Gloria Sykes and the family of Mary Sykes of very very serious violations of Mary Sykes’ fundamental liberty rights.     This list is endless and each complaining person wants to know why you are not leading the investigation into the human rights violation of elder cleansing and why you are aiding and abetting it with State funds.

It has not gone un-noticed that there is no ethics statement that can be found for you.    The ethics statements being your disclosure of assets and liabilities required by the State.  A person placed in the position of judging the conduct of others should be able and willing to demonstrate at the drop of hat that he is more virtuous than Caesar’s wife.    

Pursuant to 18 USCA 4,   I have copied the Attorney General of the United States.      It time for Equal protection of the Law to be restored to the State of Illinois and the ‘cover up’ of the cottage industry of elder cleansing cease.”

I have not received any response from you; however, the continued abuse of the elderly by a group of lawyers continues unabated.      A guardianship is limited pursuant to 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3 which states:

(b) Guardianship shall be utilized only as is necessary to promote the well-being of the disabled person, to protect him from neglect, exploitation, or abuse, and to encourage development of his maximum self-reliance and independence. Guardianship shall be ordered only to the extent necessitated by the individual’s actual mental, physical and adaptive limitations.    755 ILCS 5/11a-3

The citizens of the State of Illinois desire that you explain to them exactly how the IARDC justifies its taking no action when a senior’s teeth are mined for their gold filings!     How does such action or the isolation of a senior comport with the statement of the legislature of the State of Illinois?      IT IS TIME TO STOP FENCING.     Serious criminal action is being taken against Senior citizens in and about the Courts of Illinois and the IARDC is affirmatively not only covering up the felonies but aiding and abetting them.     I am now calling upon law enforcement to ENFORCE the law and prosecute the elderly cleansing that is going on open and notoriously.

IT IS MY HOPE THAT WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER TO RESTORE THE BILL OF RIGHTS TO ALL CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE ELDERLY AND INFIRM AND WHOSE ASSETS ARE ATTRACTIVE TO ***** .   At some point in time the Rule of Law has to be observed.

From a New Probate Victim standing strong — Ms. Grewal in Los Angeles

This is from Ms. Grewal, an amazing devoted daughter.

Go right ahead, use my name.   I yell from the rooftops. …..  They even tried to steal my Mother’s prepaid plot in California, but my name was on it!  My Mother was worried that the same would happen to my daughter and I.  I slept under my Mother’s nursing home bed for 3 weeks, no one knew I was there — I saw/heard it all!!  I was giving her fluids/food throughout the night, as they were dehydrating, starving and overdrugging her to expedite death.  I went in on an Ex-Parte [motion], the judge was livid when I used my 20 seconds to say “Your honor, unless you order hydration, nutrition and discontinue the contraindicated drugs, you will take blood with you to your own grave.”  I later found out that the Judge almost had me locked up?!  It was nothing but the truth … she did get a stomach tube and lived another torturous 12 months, as we wrangled in court.  I feel terrible about the additional suffering I imposed on my heroic Mother.

I sent Mr. Holder a copy of my Mother’s 241 p. Federal District Habeas Corpus and my begging President Obama for a Presidential Executive Order (Not to mention the FBI, MO AG, MO Gov, MO senators, the VA in MO and DC, etc.) and went to Washington, DC to attempt to prevent Missouri’s murder of my blessed Mother.  I was arrested several times for absurd allegations and taken away by Police for asserting my 1st Amendment petition rights.  I was in FD court to save her life while the nursing home claimed I wanted to kill ALL the residents, while I was in California?  After a forced chemical lobotomy, they whisked her into a quick Hospice (against my Mother’s and the California family’s wishes) to cover the evidence.  Any outside doctor would have known what had taken place … my Mother was categorically murdered!  With her death went my soul.
Wieslawa Irena Konkol (my VIP Mom, DOD 10/30/11) was a U.S. Allied Vet, she fought in Armia Krajowa  (Polish Underground).  The VA should have stepped in to help!  For 22 months, starting at age 17, she was detained in concentration, labor and POW camps.  She claims that the nursing home she was forced into tortured her worse than the Nazis (I saw the same with my own eyes).  She was placed into sensory deprivation without her eyeglasses, hearing aids and dental plate.  My Mother was a Political Science major.  Each time she would say that her civil rights were being violated, they simply placed a 3-point hold on her and injected her with more Risperdal (which gave her Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, which induced a frozen Parkinson’s state).  The miscreants made her die alone without her Roman Catholic Scapular.  Just like my Grandfather and Mother fought for their Jewish friends, I will fight to the bitter end — as next it will be you and I (and of course in honor of my Mother).
Bottom-line — in simple terms, this is all about this is about theft, kidnapping and murder … and nothing more.  The only consolation I have is knowing the Statute of Limitations for murder is indefinite. 
Ken, you want me at this meeting.  I was weaned on executive meetings, being an ex-Xeroid, USC, been to many congressional functions, etc.
I’ll provide my contact info under separate cover.
Regards,
Antoinette Grewal

Dear Antionette;

First of all, I want to completely assure you that YOU DID NOTHING WRONG.  You were NOT the cause of suffering of your mother–the probate miscreants were.  You tried to help your mother, you knew what they did was wrong, deadly wrong, and you know you are in the right.

One of the demands I want to make on Mr. Holder and the Senate Committee is to DEMAND the exhumation of Gore, Tyler, DB (daughter not ready to publish name) and now your mother, who was allegedly starved and malnourished to death.  I recently heard a story by a probate victim who was told since her mother could not eat on her own or drink, it was okay to let her starve and dehydrate to death–which is a very painful death.  NO, it is NOT.  Only the probate court can withhold food and water AND it has to 1) be a termination situation; 2) there has to be a hearing and notice to the family and all interested parties and 3) most important–it has to be in the Power of Attorney for Health Care.

I also received notice from the OPG in Chicago, they intend to isolate Ms. Janie Thomas from her family members, demanding visits at a nursing home (an abusive one where the GAL forced Janie Thomas to live), only Mon. to Friday, 8 to 8 pm!  I have told the “Guardian” or is that anti-guardian that this is illegal, it is against the Federal Elder Abuse act and if she doesn’t change her policy, I intend to report her as an abuser.

I can’t believe what is going on in the courts today. It is nothing but sheer evil and greed.  The OPG would not be involved if there were piles of cash to get to.

From an anonymous caller, I was told the reason why the hold “elder law” seminars is not for the CLE, they could care less about that.  In the packet of “course materials” there are envelopes of cash for attorneys turning over business to the OPG and State Guardians.  Some states hold golf outings, and they drop the envelopes into the golf cart bags.

What I have found in Crook County is that it’s done through loans.  One party takes out the loan (the attorney or juge) and another party pays off the loan.  You should see the property records here–from the Court of Appeals up to the Supreme court.  The ARDC is now calling these “personal financial” information that should not be inquired into further.  I believe firmly that the ARDC has hundreds of complaints about felonies in probate–all of which are disposed of with a quick letter, or they are somehow “lost” and never responded to (Gloria Sykes complaints)

And I publish this, and little happens, except the ARDC goes after me–for lying.

All of you out there have your stories, you see the greed, the corruption, the evil, the isolation of elders, illegally battering them with shots of Risperdol, Haladol, etc. when their poor elderly bodies can’t take it.  Again, you should immediately report the doctors involved to their disciplinary board, report the hospitals and nursing homes to the state licensing boards.

And from the US dept on aging, an important article today:

From Janet Phelan–a call to the UN to aide and rescue the elders and can abusive guardianships equate to Torture under international treaties?

The human rights record of the US is at question here. If there is no redress within the US, it will be necessary to take it “outside the house.”

 
I spoke with the UN human rights office recently. When I said that I was calling on behalf of literally hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals who had experienced profound deprivation of rights in the US courts and I was therefore requesting information about filing under the applicable treaty org, the woman at the human rights office (NY UN) had a minor meltdown.
 
Well, good for her! There are now too many of us, and some, as you know, have incurred more of a personal “interest” and pursuant vendetta by our own government. And for what? For standing up for our parents and loved ones?  
 
The US will go down in history as an experiment which morphed to a brutal and oppressive regime. We will make the record, make the filing under the applicable treaty, send out the press releases and we shall see what transpires. The truth has a way of asserting itself, even under these oppressive circumstances.
 
As Bush said, “Let’s Roll!!” []
 
Thank you,

in Exile 

Janet also asked that I post this information about torture.  As many of you are well aware, the elderly are often subject to forced psychotropic drugging, unnecessary and unwanted medical procedure to make money for miscreant hospitals and nursing homes–and this may fall under the guise of torture, as well as isolation from dozens of friends and family (mental torture) and forcing the person to live in a locked down nursing home while the family residence, vacation home and other properties are sold.  I am currently in a case where father is crying out to go home, he has the money and ability to go home, and Rehab assist sits there and listens to all of this and ignores it making $5,000 per month to be his “medical guardian.”  see below.

More from Janet

A movement is at foot to file with the United Nations concerning our guardianship cases. It is becoming painfully obvious that the United States government, whether it be the individual states departments of justice, the police, APS–whatever–have no intention of honoring our reports or affirming our lawsuits. We therefore need to move this forward on an international level.
 
The UN has jurisdiction when the United States has signed an international treaty. As the US rarely signs human rights treaties, we have determined that the best possible treaty for us to file under would be the Convention Against Torture. Here is a link to the Treaty:

 
 
Article 1 is of special interest:
 

PART I

Article 1

1. For the purposes of this Convention, the term “torture” means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions.

As you can see, the wording in Article 1 actually applies to many of our cases!  We are therefore requesting that the recipients of this email send us a brief and concise (1-2 pages max) statement of your case, with emphasis on the issues that align with Article 1 of the Convention Against Torture. That means that your reports need to focus not so much on the financial issues, but rather on the pain and suffering. This particularly may reflect when the alleged incapacitated person is isolated from family and friends.
 
Please send your reports to writejanet@live.com and also to bstone12@hotmail.com
 
Together, we can beat this monster…..
