Author Archives: Joanne M Denison
From Atty Mark Ferran in New York–their probate cases of unmitigated Greed and Corruption
Subject: THESE LAWLESS NEW YORK JUDGES ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. WILL THEY BECOME FEDERAL JUDGES?
I PASSED the NY Bar Exam with high points in 1996. I also PASSED the US Patent Bar Exam, which is said to be the “hardest” Bar Exam in the US (though I did not think it was hard at all) (And I passed that exam based on self-study alone).
I won my first Trial in Albany Traffic Court when I was 20 years old. I won my first Federal Appeal at age 23 (argued before I began Law School) 21 F.3rd 11 (2nd Cir. 1993), and the Chief Judge of the Federal Court of Appeals said I was a “prodig[y]”.
I entered Law School with a 7/8ths full-tuition merit scholarship. I had full-tuition merit scholarships to engineering schools.
I got A+ grades in Civil Procedure (From Distinguished Professor David Siegel (West Publishing)), Evidence, Ethics, and Real Property Tax.
As a scientist, and a computer expert, the lawlessness and criminality of New York’s judges was disconcerting to me, because in the court room, the B-students always outnumber the A+student, and together they make-up whatever pretended rules they want, without regard to any set of fixed rules or laws. It is madness. It is simply disgusting to have to take an appeal to compel a Judge to read and follow the basic law. (I have many reversals on Appeal of State and Federal Judges)
BUT NOW, in New York, it is getting even WORSE, much much worse.
Now, you have to file a lawsuit in Federal Court against State Appellate Judges just to force them to follow the most elementary of Rules of Law and Civil Procedure: 1) “DON’T LIE” in your Decision; 2) “READ THE COMPLAINT”, and determine what causes of action are pleaded, before presuming to determine whether the Plaintiff has a right/standing “to sue” upon the facts pleaded; 3) “FOLLOW THE LAW” even if that means your favored party will pay for his tort.
This [Draft] Federal District Court Complaint complains about LAWLESS State Court Judges that New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo is fast-tracking up the chain of State Appellate Courts to position them for appointment to the Federal Courts, and even the U.S. Supreme Court, if and when he gets elected to President of the United States.
The Totally-Lawless and dishonest character of these Judges can affect everyone in the United States.
In this DRAFT Federal District Court Complaint, we have pleaded and Proved that New York State Court judges have LIED in written their decisions and have directly and expressly violated the Statutory and Constitutional Rights of litigants (especially Pro Se litigants) to Plead their Tort causes of action in the State courts against Democrat Machine operatives who employed fraud to transcend the limits of their lawful authority.
I believe that the related state court case being collaterally attacked is the first and only decision rendered by State Judges ever to declare with satisfaction that State Law failed to provide a “meaningful post-deprivation remedy”. [Plaintiffs made no such argument. Plaintiffs argued that the Complaint stated a Cause of Action for Fraud, Trespass and Conversion for each Plaintiff] The Judges’ declaration (without purporting to fix this problem with State Law that the Judges themselves created) is itself a violation of the Constitutional Duty of the Judges to establish and maintaining meaningful post-deprivation remedies. In this case, they made this absurd declaration as an excuse to IGNORE state law tort (trespass, fraud, conversion) causes of action pleaded against agents of New York’s Democrat Machine, preferring to substitute the narrower Federal Section 1983 cause of action, even though Plaintiffs refused to plead such a federal cause of action. Plaintiffs’ State Complaint expressly states that Plaintiffs are not pleading any federal causes of action under section 1983. It seems the State Court judges are trying to interfere with the Plaintiffs’ right to file a parallel Federal Court action. Plaintiffs seek an injunction against the State Court Judges to restrain them from usurping jurisdiction over the Plaintiffs’ Federal Causes of Action.
The Plaintiff Nadia Ferran (my mother) is an octogenarian who owned her mother’s brownstone Historic District House at 54 Clinton Avenue in Albany, NY when it was targeted for an illegal “emergency demolition”. A roofing contractor torched the roof and burned only “the roof” off of the House. The flat roof simply burned away cleanly. There was no structural damage below the roof level. But, the City Attorney Bradford Burns recommenced a civil engineer that he knew would Lie who then did Lie by stating that there was an invisible “bow” that he “could not see” in the lower front brick wall of the house. After that was verbally challenged by myself, the City Attorney realized that was RIDICULOUS and then the attorney and the engineer destroyed and concealed the engineer’s original false report (dated November 14, 2011) and tried to substitute a different false report dated December 13, 2011 that he has REFUSED TO SIGN much less swear to in Affidavit form. After that, in March of 2012 they changed the time/date settings on the engineer’s computer, to produce a counterfeit “draft” version of the December 13, 2011 report, to conceal the existence of the original false report (dated November 14, 2011). You can plainly see in the attached PDF print of emails between and the PDF draft “properties” print that the engineer Lanaro changed the date/time settings on his computer to create the false-dated “draft”.
After that the Judge Eugene Devine pretended the unsigned false-report letter (December 13) was an Affidavit/Affirmation and the Judge quoted from this False Hearsay paper in his Decision granting Pre-Answer Summary Judgment. Judge Eugene Devine also LIED about the content of the Defendant’s only actual “Affidavit” in the case. Judge Devine invented a material false allegation that was not in the Affidavit, was not even argued for by the Defendants’ Attorneys, and Devine declared that this fictional allegation was dispositive of the summary judgment. That summary judgment WAS REVERSED on appeal (for lack of “competent evidence), but the Appellate court did not condemn Eugene Devine for LYING in his decision. Five days after this soft reversal was issued, Eugene Devine was appointed to that Appellate Division, and a little while after that, one of these Appellate Judges was appointed to the NY High Court, by Governor Andrew Cuomo. Then a close staff attorney friend of Andrew Cuomo was appointed to hear the State case, replacing Eugene Devine.
Does New York Governor Andrew Cuomo intend to Appoint some these New York Judges to the U.S. Supreme Court and Federal Courts if and when he becomes President of the United States? I think that is his present intention, so even if you are not in New York, it is urgent that you read this Complaint to understand exactly how TOTALLY LAWLESS New York Judges have become, and what that will mean to vulnerable people throughout the United States if they are imposed by Cuomo upon the People of the United States.
The new Arbitrary “Standing” Doctrine invented by these Judges to IGNORE and defeat pleaded Tort (e.g., Fraud, Trespass) causes of action can affect anyone, even parties represented by Attorneys. But this doctrine does even more harm to directly Destroy the constitutional right of Pro Se (in pro per) litigants to PLEAD their causes of action Jointly without being falsely accused of the crime of “unauthorized practice of law”.
Judge Eugene Devine declared that any submissions that he has made in this action as a pro se litigant will not be considered upon the Motion to decide Plaintiff Mark Ferrans standing to sue, whereupon Devine ignored the entire COMPLAINT (with respect to both Plaintiffs).
- Richard Platkins March 13, 2015 Decision expressly acknowledged that Platkin purported to Decide Plaintiff Mark Ferrans right to sue without any consideration of any of the causes of action accrued to Plaintiff Mark Ferran and pleaded in the Amended Complaint, stating: any submissions that [Mark Ferran] has made (or may make) as a self-represented litigant have not been (and will not be) considered. (Parroting Judge Devines same violation of Plaintiffs Right to Be Heard, to Petition, and to the Equal Protection of the CPLR).
The words pro se mean for self. “[T]he right to file a lawsuit pro se is one of the most important rights under the constitution and laws. Elmore v. McCammon 640 F. Supp. 905 (1986).
- Judge Devine intentionally ignored the entire original Complaint (1413-12) with respect to both Plaintiffs (contrary to his legal duty under Leon v. Martinez, 84 NY2d 83, 87-88 [1994]) (The Judge must read the Plaintiff’s Complaint) and Windsor v. McVeigh, 93 U.S. 274 (1876) (The partys pleading was ordered to be stricken from the files; The decision of a court, pronounced against a party without hearing him or giving him an opportunity to be heard, is not a judicial determination of his rights and is not entitled to respect in any other tribunal. Syllabus). ALL “Parties whose rights are to be affected are entitled to be heard.” Baldwin v. Hale, 68 U.S. (1 Wall.) 223, 233 (1863).
This Federal Complaint points out the Judge’s Lies with particularity and lucidly shows that these Judges are TOTALLY LAWLESS. The relief requested includes a declaration that these JUDGES ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL, for lack of capacity or intent to KNOW and abide by the LAW of the Land.
The complaint “challeng[es] the constitutionality of state court Judges Eugene P. Devine, Richard M. Platkin, John A. Lahtinen, Leslie Stein, Elizabeth A. Garry, Robert S. Rose.”
Because of the nature of the case, the Complaint Pleads Procedural and Substantive LAW, and establishes Constitutional Duty of Judges by reference to Quotations to Constitutional cases. The footnotes appear at the end.
PRESS RELEASE From Barbara Stone, Esq. – They are killing her mother
RICO lawsuit filed against Florida Bar by Attorney

On or about April 15, 2015, Circuit Court judge Michael Genden of the 11th circuit
in Miami Dade, Florida is alleged to have made threats against a Florida Bar member
to extort them to not to represent Stone or her elderly mother or else face possible
disbarment and more thereby denying Stone and her mother the right to counsel,
denying them due process and obstructing their justice and extorting their attorney,

A motion for disqualification was filed by Stone and is pending before Michael
Genden.( JUDGE GENDEN DISQUALIFICATION MOTION @
Stone claims an elder abuse racketeering scheme is being run thru the Florida
probate/guardian court that usurps the victims’ legal rights by gaining alleged
unlawful “legal” custody that is being misused to drain the assets of their victims,
abuse them and keep them isolated and secreted away from family members trying to
protect them. Without legal custody victims and their families have no legal rights to
health, financial or other family decisions rendering victims and their families
helpless and without legal redress. In Stone’s case she alleges her mother is being
held hostage to retaliate against her from reporting Fl Bar members who are involved
in the racket and protecting her mother. Stone has been precluded from seeing her
own mother and falsely imprisoned with an electronic device like a common
criminal.

The UK is starting to ask Seniors to die ASAP with a controversial request for voluntary DNR’s
http://www.newswatchngr.com/are-the-elderly-being-written-of-in-england-64542
All physicians in England are supposed to ask any senior over 75 to sign a DNR, which is ridiculous. Only those who are terminally ill and not ever expected to get out of bed again should have a DNR.
Patients riddled with cancer, serious dementia they must be put on machines, those that cannot breathe on their own and do not want to be on a machine, etc.–those are candidates for DNR, but not a healthy senior that is walking, talking and functioning. These doctors should not even be asking, due to the placebo effect.
If a person doesn’t want to live on a machine, that is their right and their decision. The Divine Ones do not require anyone to take any medicine or machine to live.
If the government wants them to work or whatever or die, they just do it and say it. Why be coy?
But in my mind this is all wrong on so many levels. Seniors should be treated with respect, be allowed to age in place with state provided caregivers or engage the family, but to ask a healthy person to sign a DNR goes beyond the pale. It makes a statement.
And that is not a good statement.
England should be ashamed of itself. Doctors should refuse to comply unless the patient requires an objectionable machine or drug the patient does not want to take (due to side effects) to live.
JoAnne
Glenda Martinez asks why, after two appeals, the probate attorneys continue to lie to the judge?
this was my answer:
Many connected and favored probate attorneys in C**** churn the bill with false accusations and use their clout to get rubber stamped court orders. In the Janie Thomas case her father’s estate was short some $20,000 to pay GAL Hubbard. So he went to Janie and falsely accused her of taking $18,000 from the estate informally. He told her she could either write a check or it would be revealed to her church she stole money from her father’s estate. She wrote the check and shut up, no problem. It’s been covered up and both the OPG and Hubbard were involved. The Judge MacCarthy refused to open an investigation when asked, so Hubbard got a court order, I will publish later today:
You can tell me if that isn’t a white wash over the problem. The judge should have opened an investigation, taken testimony and determined if that really was true.
In the Gore estate, Mrs. Cooper, the daughter was accuse of taking $95,000 in annuity checks, but it was the GAL Solo who swiped them and deposited them. A judgement was entered against the son daughter. No honest investigation ever happened in that case.
In the Schwartz case, the son was accused of swiping $200k in promissory notes by GAL Solo (her, again) to pay her fees. Despite the fact on cross examination no one had seen the notes and “might have been oral” per testimony of the sister, the court entered a judgment against the son, which was then sent to his mother’s estate in Florida, to have $200k transferred out of his estate share back to Chicago to pay GAL Solo so he gets nothing, but Solo gets paid.
Of course, all of this has been turned over to the authorities including the FBI and the ARDC and they DO NOTHING–EXCEPT go after myself and Ken for blogging about it because Hubbard and Solo are connected attorneys, pay people off and make campaign donations to the right people. Ken and I do NOT believe in doing any business with a judge, and that includes making donations to their campaign funds. Gov. Rauner recently spoke out against that and is working on measures so litigants and attorneys who donate will not walk in front of those judges. I wonder if he gets anywhere on that one, really. But I do wish him luck. I think it falls under “appearance of impropriety”, just at my Chair Sang Yul Lee should have disclosed his relationship to the Madigans (father in law Matyas is partners with a Madigan) before he was Chair of my case, when I know now that Lisa Madigan is Lisa Murray–and that was never disclosed to the public nor investigated by the press. I want to know why? When is the press going to grow some spines and look at Joel Murray, a criminal defense attorney from New York who represented major regional drug distributors out East, suddenly quit his law practice and then bought an airline in the Midwest, Simmons Air, taking it from a handful of jets to a $100 million enterprise in 10 years. The ROI is amazing enough to look at in and of itself.
As Ken would say, fish bellies. The price of fish went up $4 per lb when the DEA started inspecting fish bellies in Miami.
You have an attorney, listen to your attorney’s advice in this regard. You can still beat this, but I am not surprised they have cooked up even more of their stinky fish to fry with you in court. Even if you win in probate, you may come back from the court of appeals waiting for a fresh mess. Remember, it is unlike that the court will deny any of their attorneys fees, but look at what I do.
In the Olsen Estate I had $20k in fees trying to keep him out of a nursing home and his home from being sold and the grand daughters going to DCFS. I stopped all of that. My reward? A 90% fee reduction while everyone else got paid in full.
in the Janie Thomas case, I was entitled to get paid by the POA Marie, but I held off the OPG for 2 years in that case because Marie took excellent care in that case and she held the POA. My reward? Court orders I cannot get paid. A fee petition pending for years. Hubbard and King in court proclaiming “we have to be paid first”–although they hand the case right off to the OPG and says it has to go there. A court order saying my statements (true and from Marie Owens) are false and should be considered as stricken from the file (cover up).
Can I appeal all that and make things right? No, they took away my law license and now my clients have no one to help them.
It’s all Fraud on the Court, including the suspension of my law license, but no one is doing anything about this unTruth and unJustice going on.
Again, this is only a thin veneer of respectability over coating a mass of decayed, rotten, termite eaten wood.
It’s a house of cards, waiting for the right wind of Truth and Justice or as Ken says, “Core Values of the US”.

From Barbara Stone–Her RICO and civil damages complaint
After months of being terrorized by the criminal enterprise in Miami Dade Florida known as their Probate Court and Judge Michael Genden and Attorneys Roy Lustig and Mark Raymond (I was also threatened with Sanctions by them, they filed a Motion against me, and I had not appeared in any case in Florida, so you can see how desperate they are to cover up crimes against Barbara Stone and her Mother, Mrs. Helen Stone), Barbara has filed her own Counter Claims in Florida against a number of judges, including her mother’s probate judge Michael Genden, and a number of attorneys involved including the Plenary Guardian and her attorney for all the abuses Mrs. Helen Stone has suffered at the hands of her tormenters.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6FbJzwtHocwZjd3d0hmWW9fMkk/view?usp=sharing
Some highlights:
46. Other attorneys throughout the country are being viciously retaliated by exposing the
rampant corruption and racketeering in the legal system. Attorneys such as Christine Andersen, Esq., Joanne Denison, Esq., Ken Ditkowsky, Esq., Larue Amu, Esq., Jeff Norkin, Esq., Candice Schwager, Esq. and thousands of other honorable attorneys who are complying with their mandate to report wrongdoing that not only violates civil laws but is a criminal danger to society and the public are being viciously retaliated and their law licenses threatened and suspended and they face or have been disbarred for complying with their mandated oath to report. This is the only act that they attorneys are being retaliated against. This retaliatory is solely due to their attempts to report wrongdoing.
17
Barbara was encourage by several sympathetic judges in Florida to seek Whistleblower status. There are now about a dozen or more attorney across the nation including the above, who have risked their law licenses, including myself and Ken Ditkowsky and Lanre Amu to blow the whistle on corrupt judges and attorneys operating a criminal enterprise out of Probate court.
When Mary Sykes was guardianized without Summons and Petition being served, when $1 million in gold coins went missing and the probate attorneys and court scrambled to quash all discovery, when her home was sold for 20 cents on the dollar, you know that Chicago has the same problems, as does Florida.
All of us–from Barbara Stone to Candice Schwager to Grant Goodman to Lanre Amu and Ken Ditkowsky, blow the whistle, do our jobs and prosecuted and hounded for protecting the elderly and vulnerable, and then they put the likes of Jerome Larkin in as Administrator of the ARDC to cover every thing up, you know there is something seriously wrong with Illinois and the nation. No one is coming to our rescue or protecting us.
I now have dozens of low cost and pro bono attorneys without counsel. Who will serve them as I did, filing pleadings, asking that seniors and the elderly be protected, that they not be guardianized without proper service and notice to next of kin.
No one is protecting them and Jerome Larkin is running a cover up operation with his own malicious assistants–Melissa Smart, Sharon Opryszek, Steven Splitt (a professor of ethics at John Marshall Law School?), Leah Guiterrez Black, etc. all act in retaliation. All pretend that this blog is a lie.
I could not figure out why they were all so upset when I mentioned the fires at the OPG and how there were several and they always happened on Friday afternoons. Now I am aware that the fire killing 6 was first ruled a homocide by the coroner after investigation and that was changed, so why do they accuse me of lying? An accellerant was suspected also, but nothing came of that. CNBC backed off on their investigation and some of their reports on the fire have broken links. I want to know why. Patrick Murphy was never questioned, as far as the internet reports, but was made a judge. I want to know why. Other attorneys have told me some very shocking news–definitely reported to the ARDC, but nothing came out of that. The attorneys at the OPG were protected.
Barbara’s complaint goes on to say:
Michael Genden with intent thereby extort Ms. Rochlin to gain an advantage to threaten her to refrain from representing Counter-Plaintiffs mother. The Florida Bar through certain
of its member by written communication maliciously accused counter Counter-Plaintiff of offensesas part of a retaliation to stop her whistleblower against the Florida Bar by attempting to disbar her and deprive her of her reputation an her livelihood and her ability to earn income and in so has malicious exposed her to disgrace in her reputation with intent to gain advantage to force her to cease her attempts to expose their criminal racketeering activities.
245. Further they are trying to force her to refrain from doing what she is required under Florida Bar Rule 4.83 to do.
246. That thru the misuse of criminal proceeding Counter-Plaintiff is being extorted and threatened to silence her whistleblowing activities and gain advantage and have disgraced her reputation by forcing her to wear a public shackle .
Florida is amazing in that Barbara Stone, for speaking out against the severe and continuing abuses against her mother–isolation, drugging, the draining of her estate with churned bills and inflated fees, etc.–Judge Michael Genden, together with the States Attorneys offices has her on electronic monitoring. She has had an ankle bracelet for over a year, and unless the Federal Court stops this entire mess, the concept of putting civil litigants in leg shackles for reporting Probate Court abuses may easily spread to Chicago.
Ms. Stone pays $350 per month to have a leg bracelet put on her so the miscreants can operate in secrecy and with impunity.
Barbara Stone is seeking Whistleblower status in Florida and with the Federal Court System. She is claiming no ability to get a fairly heard case in Florida with all the corruption that is going on. She is asking that her case get transferred to Illinois to Judge Blakey and consolidated due to his expertise in RICO (Racketeering and Influential Crime Organization Act–a statute that aptly fits the current mess of Probate Court in Illinois and Florida.
I have really no idea what the Florida Bar and the Illinois ARDC think they are covering up. When you lie, cheat and steal, it always comes home to roost and turns into a big, ugly mess.
Jerome Larkin has made a career out of protecting favored attorneys–those in the Sykes case– Farenga, Stern and Schmeidel, while persecuting Whistleblowers–Ditkowsky, Amu and myself.
In Florida, the Bar is going after Barbara Stone. In Texas, they go after Candice Schwager for protecting Human and Civil Rights. In Arizona, it is Grant Goodman. In California, there is Richard Fine. There is also Ostrowski and Bailey in Pennsylvania. Clear across the nation, miscreant lawyers in bar associations are witch hunting Whistleblower attorneys.
Barbara did a fabulous job out of her Complaint (counter claim) against these miscreants and it should be used as a model for other cases.
Let’s hope that the Federal Courts will start to take this malicious mess seriously

BEFORE THE ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT
FROM THE ILLINOIS ATTORNEY REGISTRATION AND DISCIPLINARY COMMISSION
In Re:
JOANNE MARIE DENISON
Attorney-Respondent
Reg. No. 6192441
Appeal case No. MR 27193 from
ARDC Action No. 2013 PR 0001
DECLARATION TO ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT
TO ALLOW JOANNE DENISON TO
REPRESENT HER PRO BONO/LOW COST CLIENTS
The undersigned doth deposes and saith:
1. My name is Joanne Denison and my work address is 5940 W Touhy Ave, #120, Niles, IL 60714, and this is in regard to the ARDC’s current nefarious mission to take away my law license for merely running a blog that tells the truth about the fraud on the court and the lack of respect for the US and State Constitutions and the Illinois Probate Act in and without the Illinois Probate System.
2. I believe it is wrong to go after someone who exposes only the truth. I believe my blog, now with 80,000 views is extremely helpful to Probate Victims and their families. The blog represents nothing but the Truth, and anyone who desires can post comments contrary to any fact or opinion stated therein. There are nearly no corrections on the blog which have been submitted after thousands of post, and those were posted right away. I believe there were only two corrections and they were very minor.
3. I further believe it was a scandalous and shameful affair to go after Mr. Kenneth Ditkowsky and Mr. Lanre Amu on a witch hunt with kangaroo courts to suspend them for merely telling the truth about what every other attorney and litigant knows about the Daley Center court system–a court system that has the likes of Rosemary Roti (daughter of Frank Roti, a known New York mobster) as a court scheduler under Presiding Judge Timothy Evans and his two daughters who make $100,000 each as court schedulers. In addition, Atty Lisa Madigan has not disclosed her true identity to the public, that she is the daughter of Joel Murray and her real name is Lisa Murray and that Joel Murray was a criminal defense attorney from New York representing major drug distributors in New York and then he bought, maintained and operated Simmons Air (later American Eagle) and quit practicing law.
4. I believe the public is not stupid and would not stand for any of this, if they only knew the truth, but now only the Blogs publish The Truth and mainstream media Protects those who should not be protected. The ARDC only protects those who should not be protected.
5. I have made a list of all the pro bono and indigent and lower middle class clients that I have helped since Nov. 2011 when the Blog began, and I can barely keep track of them all. The phone calls and emails are endless with the problems and troubles in probate. I have no idea how many, probably over 200 persons I have listen to and helped over these past several years.
6. I am now suspended. Dozens of clients, the vast majority of which are indigent and lower middle class have been now been left without counsel and I believe and demand that indigent and lower middle class clients should have representation in Probate–or wherever blatant corruption and gross violations of human and civil rights may be found in and out of the Illinois Probate Court system. The numbers are endless and staggering. Honest attorneys are threatened all the time in Probate that if they get involved, if they investigate, if they help the innocent, they will be disbarred. The attorney miscreants and judges wheeling and dealing in probate are open and brazen regarding the harm and terror they inflict upon the innocent families and loved ones of Probate and court corruption victims. The System is completely out of control and the Public is demanding something better.
7. I am petitioning the Illinois Supreme Court to allow me to represent lower income and indigent clients because their cases are important too.
8. I personally don’t care how much money I do or do not make. The Truth and seeking Justice is far more important to me than that. Mr. Ditkowsky and Mr. Amu and myself are the real thing, protecting the indigent and lower middle class who have had gross violations of human and civil rights and liberties taken away from them.
9. The ARDC is not given any permission to post any of my creative writings, including this declaration. They cannot be trusted to uphold Truth and Justice any longer.
10. Jerome Larkin, Melissa Smart, Sharon Opryszek, Steven Splitt and Leah Black Guiterrez should be ashamed for what they do. Jerome Larkin’s job as Administrator or Chief of the ARDC is not to protect the embarrassing secrets of judges and attorneys acting badly. They were all sworn to uphold the US and Illinois Constitutions, human and civil rights and liberties–which they do not do, despite dozens of valid consumer complaints filed with their State Agency. They do not file Ethics Reports as mandated by the Illinois Ethics Act of 2009. They are not ashamed they do not do this. Mr. Steven Splitt, in particular, is suspect as a Professor of Ethics at John Marshall Law School. I want to know how he can hold his head up and say he prosecutes innocent, honest attorneys before his class at that school. His behavior is utterly contemptuous.
11. I am further demanding that each of Jerome Larkin, Melissa Smart, Sharon Oprysek and Steven Splitt: 1) take polygraphs that they know I am telling the truth and the Tribunal assigned in each of the Ditkowsky and Amu cases and my case were kangaroo courts set up as a witch hunt; 2) take psychological MRI’s to show that they are not heartless and soulless psychopaths that have no regard for the pain and suffering that they carelessly and wantonly inflict upon others. (Please note that I, Mr. Ditkowsky and Mr. Amu are willing to do likewise, but you already know the results). I want the results published, online and at http://www.iardc.org.
12. Believe me, out of all of this, there will be a time where attorneys will have to take psychological MRI’s to show they are not heartless and soulless psychopaths before they take the Oath of Office. We have seen the results of allowing such individuals to become lawyers and judges and it is not pretty.
Further declarant saith not.
I hereby declare that the above statements are true and accurate to the best of my knowledge; if called to testify, I would testify as to the same.
Respectfully submitted;

All around America, innocent vulnerable citizens and their families are abused and exploited by a nefarious probate court system which destroys individuals and families. While the intent of guardianship laws is to protect such individuals, the court approved greed-based professional guardianship industry perverts the laws and enslaves families as it diverts the valid intergenerational transfer of America’s wealth into their own pockets.
Only a federal probe similar to operation Graylord can root out the perpetrators of this demonic cancer in America perpetrated in probate courts across the country.
Trillions of dollars passed through probate court every year and every American with assets can expect to be involved in probate court at some time in their lives.

From Ken Ditkowsky, no reason for my interrim suspension, other than politics and a witch hunt
|
With the interim suspension of JoAnne Denison by the Illinois Supreme Court it occurred to me that there was some wrongful conduct that was been exposed. The Rule states:
· (a) Grounds for Suspension. During the pendency of a criminal indictment, criminal information, disciplinary proceeding or disciplinary investigation, the court on its own motion, or on the Administrator’s petition for a rule to show cause, may suspend an attorney from the practice of law until further order of the court. The petition shall allege:
o (1) The attorney-respondent has been formally charged with the commission of a crime which involves moral turpitude or reflects adversely upon his fitness to practice law, a nd there appears to be persuasive evidence to support the charge; or
o (2) A complaint has been voted by the Inquiry Board; the attorney-respondent has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct which involves fraud or moral turpitude or threatens irreparable injury to the public , his or her clients, or to the orderly administration of justice; and there appears to be persuasive evidence to support the charge.
· (b) Form and Service of Petition. The petition shall be verified or supported by affidavit or other evidence and shall be filed with the clerk. The petition shall be served personally upon the respondent. If the respondent is unavailable or respondent’s whereabouts is unknown, the respondent shall be served by mailing a copy of the petition by ordinary mail to respondent’s last address shown on the Master Roll.
· (c) Suspension Order and Conditions of Suspension. The court may make such orders and impose such conditions of the interim suspension as it deems necessary to protect the interests of the public and the orderly administration of justice, including but not limited to:
o (1) Notification to clients of the respondent’s interim suspension;
o (2) Audit of the respondent’s books, records, and accounts;
o (3) Appointment of a trustee to manage respondent’s affairs; and
o (4) Physical and mental examination of the respondent.
Ill. Sup. Ct., R 774 The grounds for an interim suspension are FRAUD, MORAL TURPITUDE, and OR IRREPARABLE INJURY TO THE PUBLIC.
Exactly how does a lawyer maintaining a blog that discloses Fraud, Moral Turpitude or official conduct that causes irreparable injury to the public i.e. violations of Federal, State, and Constitutional by the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission administrator and those acting in concert with him qualify for an interim suspension of the said lawyers law license? If exposure of such conduct is unethical than the United States Attorney and the attorneys who successfully prosecuted several score of criminal actions by jurists and judicial officials in the Operation Greylord scandal all are as guilty as JoAnne Denison.
The actions of the Supreme Court of Illinois are similarly suspect in the case of Lanre Amu. His crime was complying with In re: Himmel, [1] Exactly how an attorney can receive an interim (and a three year) suspension for reporting a judge whose acts in questionable manner to the judicial authorities has not been explained. How compliance with a Federal Statute 18 USCA 4 is fraud, involves moral turpitude, or injures the public is similarly a mystery that the Supreme Court of Illinois has yet to enlighten the voting public.
With the Supreme Court of the United States holding in United States v. Alvarez 132 S. Ct 2537, 42 USCA 12203, 47 USCA 230, 320 ILCS 20/4, 18 USCA 110/5, 18 USCA 241, 18 USCA 242, 18 USCA 2, 18 USCA 3, and 18 USCA 4 all prohibiting the suspension how did the Illinois Supreme Court enter an order decreeing the interim suspension?
A little history might be relevant. It is a common complaint of the families of the ‘elder cleansing’ victims that they cannot find attorneys who will undertake to represent either them or the designative victims. In a Florida case the victim’s family watching the dissipation of an elderly victim’s estate (and in particular valuable real estate) complained that they had run though almost a dozen attorneys who started the assignment with great enthusiasm only to suddenly drop the case. In the Sykes case 09 P 4585 Gloria Sykes had a similar problem. JoAnne Denison was not frightened off, so the Guardian ad Litem complained that she had a ‘conflict of interest.’ The conflict alleged was that she had witnessed a document in a totally unrelated matter. Other lawyers suddenly lost heart when threatened either by the Judge or someone else as to possible loss of law license.
Flash back to my situation. First I was threatened by the guardian ad litem and the attorney for the plenary guardian that if I did not cease and desist my investigation of the Sykes matter I would be sanctions. Indeed, I was even though the Judge, the two guardian ad litem and the attorney for the plenary guardian appointed under highly questionable circumstances all knew that the Court had no jurisdiction over me. An Appellate Court decision reversed the almost $5000.00 sanction. However, Jerome Larkin and the Illinois Attorney Disciplinary Commission when informed by Cynthia Farenga (one of the Guardians ad litem) that I was asking for an HONEST investigation commenced disciplinary proceedings against me.
It looks like a duck, swims like a duck, has feathers like a duck, and it smells like duck. There is thus no reason to not recognize that as part of the ‘elder cleansing’ scenario the co-conspirators are actively, notoriously, and openly not only violating the Americans With Disabilities Act, operating beyond the legal limits of the guardianship statutes, openly and notorious violating the Civil and human Rights of the elderly and the disabled, BUT are preventing the victims and their families from having legal representation by fraud, actions of moral turpitude, and actions that can cause irreparable injury to the public.
The action of the Supreme Court of Illinois in the interim suspension of JoAnne Denison is a shot across the bow of America’s core values. Kim Jong of North Korea would be really proud of the Justices of the Supreme Court of Illinois, but, America’s founding fathers and America’s heroes would hang their heads in shame.
[1] The Administrator’s complaint alleged that the attorney had knowledge of another attorney’s (attorney two) conversion of client funds and failed to inform the Commission of this misconduct. The facts showed that client funds were converted by attorney two and the client then looked to the attorney for recovery of her funds from attorney two. The client asked the attorney not to report attorney two’s misconduct. The attorney was to receive a portion of any fees collected and thus he had an incentive not to report the conduct if it meant collecting his fee. Once all of this was known, attorney two was suspended from the practice of law and the attorney was brought up for disciplinary proceedings. The attorney defended his actions by stating that his client asked him not to report attorney two’s misconduct and that the information provided by his client was privileged. The court found the information was not privileged where communicated in the presence of third parties and found that the client’s request did not relieve the attorney of his professional obligation to report the misconduct of other attorneys. The court found, further, that discipline was necessary. The court ordered that the attorney be suspended from the practice of law for one year. In re Himmel, 125 Ill. 2d 531, 534, 533 N.E.2d 790, 790, 1988 Ill. LEXIS 121, 1, 127 Ill. Dec. 708, 708 (Ill. 1988)

The discipline of Attys Ostrowski and Bailey in Pennsylvania is not better than Illinois ARDC
Compare my recent supsension for blogging about a highly troubled case in Probate and other Attorneys who have disclosed troubled, corrupt cases and you will see a clear pattern across the United States.
At the same time the “Code of Silence” by attorneys and judges is being enforced because “attorneys and judges have reputations to protect”, other websites decry the practice (as do Ken Ditkowsky and myself) as nothing more an an excuse for a perfectly a good old fashioned cover up operation.
In fact, it’s so bad in Illinois, many have told me that the ARDC stands for Attorneys (that) Really Do Coverups (I have another acronym, but I can’t mention that one here in polite conversation).
Many attorneys have come forward with many, many explanations for mysterious events in and out of the court system. I am my amerteur band of investigators find more and more answers each and every day.
So what does Mr. Larkin do? Cover it all up. And if you look at his mortgage records you can see the real reason why–plenty of cash there.
I’d like to have my mortgage paid for me too–but not at the expense of my tailfeathers.
As one of Illinois’ most perfect examples of coverups run amok, take a look at the 99 year old Alice Gore case where she was isolated for 10 months from 20+ friends and family in a locked down nursing home, and then when she was next seen, her 29 gold teeth had been pulled and a feeding tube implanted against her will–all because she ate too slowly. Oh, she had a perfectly fine daughter that wanted to care for her at home, but the probate court would not allow for that. (That’s why Sunrise of Park Ridge is offering $2,000 for every senior you bring them–grandmas for cash–wrong on so many levels)
Take a look at the letters to Atty Karen Bowes at Rinella and Rinella regarding the Cooper’s plight:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6FbJzwtHocwOW5ZMjF6aC1pU1E/view?usp=sharing
Now take a look at the response from the ARDC to the Coopers:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6FbJzwtHocwa3Q3MTNqN0Q0QXc&authuser=0
and this isn’t the only letter the Coopers have sent the ARDC. There have been many.
But the long shot is, Alice Gore ended up in a nursing home where she didn’t want to be. A mentally ill relative was permitted to be Guardian. A good daughter was not allowed to take her mother home and care for her there. In the end, Alice Gore’s 29 gold teeth were pulled because she ate too slow and a feeding tube was implanted against her will. $1.5 million disappeared from that estate. In the end, Alice Gore was dehydrated and starved to death and the ARDC refuses to get involved and the authorities in Illinois do nothing when the person has been murdered.
I am still calling for the tox screen of everyone from a nursing home that appears to be dehydrated and/or malnourished.
These murders have to be investigated with honest, thorough and competent investigations.

Finally, from the Illinois Supreme Court, they have declared this the MOST DANGEROUS BLOG IN ILLINOIS
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6FbJzwtHocwX3JzWS1adktWdkk&authuser=0
This proves that this blog is the most dangerous. And my “investigator” is only amerateur. Imagine if I had funds for a professional!
I would like to know why the ARDC keeps on quashing discovery of the Sykes case. I would like to depose each of Carolyn Toerpe, Fred Toerpe and the banks involved in the $1 million coin heist.
I would like to know why the Estate of Carol Wyman ran without jurisdiction for 4 years. I call it Fraud on the Court.
I would like to know why transcripts were changed in the Sykes case, why orders were scratched out to blame other judges, why transcripts were changed in my ARDC hearing.
I would really like to know who is going to handle all my pro bono cases and my low cost cases. The ARDC and SCOI haven’t figure that one out.
As far as I know, I am the only public defender of the probate victim. Where will all that go? What attorney will do what I did for all these people–and more. Exhibit G to my SCOI response to the ARDC Petition for Interrim Suspension was filled with affidavits to that effect, but SCOI never batted an eye it seems, to worry about all these people.
Now the Illinois Court System was supposed to issue “surveys” but I can’t find a form on the internet, I have been to the Daley center numerous times during the period in question, and I have not seen or heard of any survey form –or my clients.
Are these secret surveys?
Too many questions, far too few answers.

Cook County Court Surveys–has anyone seen one or has a link to it? Please find and fill out
Announced in the April 3, 2015 Daily Law Bulletin:
From Lanre Amu:
Survey to gauge service quality of circuit courts Illinois judges want to know how people really feel about them.
Chief judges in all 24 judicial circuits will issue surveys at most courthouses in the
state to ask court users — from attorneys to litigants to media and the general public — about their experiences with their local court system.
The goal, Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Rita B. Garman said, is to gain insight about the public’s perception of the state’s court system and make changes wherever necessary.
“It is the court’s obligation to be accountable and provide justice in a fair, equitable and expeditious manner, and, therefore, we look forward to the end results of this survey,” she said in a statement.
The surveys will be conducted from April 13 to May 1. They seek to gather participants’ demographics as well as general perception of and personal experiences with the court system.
My question is, has anyone actually seen these surveys? Are they in existence? Who has received them? How can we get them, fill them in and turn them back.
And finally, if we have been consistently turning in complaints to the ARDC and the Presiding Judge, what do they need a survey for?
Private Probate a huge problem for the poor and likely unconstitutional.
From Human Rights Watch:
http://www.hrw.org/news/2014/02/05/us-profit-probation-tramples-rights-poor
the video explains how many states are dumping probation programs to private contractors who charge poor people thousands of dollars and lock them up.
The system is unfair and has to change. This is just more of the kids for cash, seniors for cash problem that is sweeping the US.
It is not a crime to be poor in the US, we don’t have gulags, we are not supposed to be forcing people into horrendous lock down nursing homes and forcing drugs on them.
Even while I am suspended, I watch out for your rights. I care about all of you out there, esp. the probate victims. We have fairly pieced together a huge chunk of the problem, where many in government are linked to drugs and mob money.
It important that these problems are eliminate from the court’s system

From Rev. Crystal Cox — a whistleblower receives protection from the 9th circuit
Reverend Crystal Cox
Crystal L. Cox, Port Townsend Washington
“On January 17, 2014, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Crystal L. Cox from Eureka, Montana who was sued by for defamation by Kevin Padrick, an attorney and his company – Obsidian Finance Group, LLC. Cox had written posts exposing fraud, corruption, money-laundering and so forth.”
“This ruling should be a clear reminder to misguided attorneys, corporations, developers or those with affluence to cease bullying or intimidating those who report the issues of the day.
Many concerned citizens have no choice but to create their own blogs and websites to level the playing field in this blossoming social media warfare.
The government has its plentiful public relations specialists, paid for by taxpayers. Corporations and special interests have their hired PR consultants. There are hired mercenaries who feel no qualms about spinning the facts. News media can be bought or controlled by big money or shut down.
It’s not uncommon for the public to read articles or watch the TV news only to lament the irregularities or inadequate reporting. Oftentimes, critical issues are shunned or ignored by corporate media because of entwined relationships.
Bloggers with information or have intimate experiences and understanding of issues are critically needed now, more than ever.”

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/choon-james/confirmed-bloggers-have-f_b_4657313.html
“The Court stated, The protections of the First Amendment do not turn on whether the defendant was a trained journalist, formally affiliated with traditional news entities, engaged in conflict-of-interest disclosure, went beyond just assembling others’ writings, or tried to get both sides of a story. As the Supreme Court has accurately warned, a First Amendment distinction between the institutional press and other speakers is unworkable.”
They went on to cite cases in which individual speakers have been granted First Amendment rights, despite not being a part of the established press. For example, the First Amendment rights of authors have often been protected, regardless of their training, background, or affiliations .
” This is very good news for anyone who has a blog or even a desire to post things in an individual capacity on their social network.
It could also go a far way for advocacy groups that work unofficially for candidates and their rights to create media alleging things against candidates. It could also have important ramifications for blogging in other lawsuits.
For example, if a blogger is treated as a journalist for the purposes of the First Amendment, they could also be treated as a journalist in a matter like protection of sources.”

Breaking News — another martyr created and endorsed by the ARDC
Pretty soon they will have to put posts for our heads up outside 130 E Randolph.
I understand Sir Thomas Moore, from A Man for All Seasons, now considered a true scholar, lawyer, judge and reverred Chancellor of England, had his head on a post for about a month until his daughter took it down after he clung to his principles of honor and integrity, opposing the divorce of Henry VIII and putting away of Queen Catherine, but then he did go on to marry Anne Boleyn who birthed on of the greatest rulers of that age, Queen Elizabeth I, so who knows.
But he did stick to his principles and always told the truth. When he would not support the new king’s marriage, there was a fight for awhile, but eventually it was off with his head at the tower of England.
In any case, the Sup. Ct. of Ill. agreed with the ARDC and have suspended me as of this morning, I guess, I have no received an email or whatever.
I just showed up in court this morning and someone from the OPG said I had just been suspended! Of course, the OPG knew, they’ve been waiting for this.
Just yesterday, Carrie Fung lied again in court, saying an amout allegedly owed was $13,000 when it was not, it was $12,500. Does the court do anything about their lying? Of course not. When I challenged her and she was lying and attorneys aren’t supposed to do that, she said to go tell the judge the judge did it, but then I replied, that putting a lie in a court order doesn’t make it the truth and court orders are not supposed to contain attorney lies. Woman’s got a problem. Doesn’t she know that if you tell the truth all the time, life is much, much easier?
Right now, they’re so heck bent on invalidating the Sophie Reichert trust, they wanted to default Ryan Reichert right away on invalidating the trust, but the judge, doing her job, said no, she needed proof of jurisdiction (of course this is the same judge who one day said Ryan can’t file for guardianship, his petition is too early so she dismissed it, but then at the next court date, a few weeks later, she summarily appointed the OPG, so go figure. I hope things are getting better the judges are following the law, but who knows.)
This is just an interrim suspension, and the Review Board could do the right thing. There’s always hope. I did challenge them during my argument that ALL of them could be targets of probate court, that I have heard of plenty of stories of wealthy judges and lawyers who were targeted, isolated, drugged and estates drained and then eliminated and that I was the only attorney standing up to such evil. I’m not sure they got it though, they pretty much stared at me the entire time like deer in the headlights, waiting for the entire hour to be over to get a cup of Starbucks, and the fact that Gary Frake was in the galley and Judge X was killing off his father together with Attys Rhodes and Peck with drugs, etc. didn’t seem to present a problem for any of them.
But right now, I will be taking a well deserved rest. No more long client calls seeking legal advice, now I can say I don’t do that, but would be glad to blog about it. I already had a client have an absolute fit about the ARDC suspending me, as if I have anything to do with it. I offered to blog about her case and that only made it worse.
I told her to complain to the ARDC and the Ill. Sup. Ct., and maybe my clients will, who knows.
I am filing another document with the Ill. Supreme Court today. Since it’s all Fraud on the Court, there is no timeline and no limitations period.
take care all and I will let you know how this new phase goes. The program is to get reasonably priced attorneys for all the probate victims and run a case management system (without legal advice) under Justice 4 Every1, NFP, but we will see how it goes.
If anyone would like to volunteer as a lawyer or paralegal for these clients, PLMK.
thanks

53 Disability Rights Activists Arrested in Washington DC by Obama White House
after they were told the US President would not hear their demands to stop housing the disabled in nursing homes against their will where they cannot experience life to its fullest.
Sound familiar? Anytime the nursing home industry is threatened it seems someone gets arrested, from Barbara Stone and her heroic fight to protect her mother, to these 53. People such as Glenda Martinez who recently won her fight to restore her POA rights and bring her husband home from such a nursing home after 1.5 years (complete with bed sores, a rash, deteriorated limbs and muscles for lying in bed all day without rehab, etc.)
150+ disabled rights activists storm the White House fence for their rights, and the US President has them arrested instead of looking at their demands.
The organization is ADAPT.

Also, as you know, the ARDC does not file Ethics Reports mandated under the 2009 Ethics Reporting Act, it does not say how it chooses Tribunals or Review Boards, etc.

A favorite tactic of the OPG–exchange truth and honesty for sanctions!

So let’s see if the judge sides on the first Amendment or if there is another agenda.
Actually, the First Amendment doesn’t even apply here. This is a pleading and attorneys have to have the freedom to tell their client’s side of the case, or else it is malpractice.
If this were not discussed openly and freely, then no one would get warned about what goes on in the “let’s make a deal” of the probate floor.

From NASGA — is guardianship at its core a crime against humanity?
Excellent video from NASGA begs the question–is guardianship, now at over a trillion dollars a year passing through the nation’s probate courts, a crime against humanity?
I argue that it is. Seniors railroaded into guardianships and forcibly evicted by the police from their homes (RLVN, Gore, Wyman, et alia), or by a relative (Sykes), homes sold, personal property plundered without accounting (Wyman, Sykes, RLVN, Reichert, et alia), seniors isolated from former family and friends and “caretakers” that are really bodyguards or lootguards put in place (Stone, Reichert, et alia) and they they are forcibly drugged with dangerous psychotropic drugs so that if they did not have dementia before, they will get it in a few short months (Frake, Stone, Col. Smith, et alia)
There is a whole lot of support for what this man says. The drugging and isolation of seniors, while clearly violating the ADA, likely also violates international treaties on torture and the UN is looking into this right now to expand the definition of torture to cover seniors forcibly placed in nursing homes, isolated, drugged and feeding tubes implanted against their will where they are starved and dehydrated and the crimes are covered up and local coroners rarely do tox tests when a senior dies.
From Ken Ditkowsky-article submission to the Governor
Date: April 17, 2015
To: Governor of the State of Illinois
Cc: Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times
United States Attorney General and Law enforcement
((NB: this version has been edited for accuracy ))
Dear Governor Rauner,
The State of Illinois at one time was the lynch pin of America. It was the railroad hub of the Nation, and a focal point for business and industry. Today, it is known to be one of most corrupt places in America and the most poorly run State in the Union. In your election campaign you yourself made this point and you so many of the citizens of the State voted for you that you were elected our governor.
Illinois’ problems are not limited to its fiscal disaster. The corruption issue is driving business and industry out of our State and robbing the State of its future. Our courts are a National joke! Illinois has been a key site for the so called “class action” lawyers who extort millions of dollars from industry on dubious claims. A few years ago a score of Judges went to jail in the “operation Greylord” scandal. Many more resigned to avoid charges. Two Supreme Court of Illinois judges had to resign because of corruption [1]. Indeed, it is open joke in the 2nd oldest profession that we have the best jurists that money can buy.
When the judicial climate in a state is akin to a cesspool it is no wonder that the fiscal climate is not far removed. Unfortunately, a cancer has to be treated not by firing a single rifle bullet at the tumor, but, in a manner that will make an impression on the miscreants while not destroying the entire organism. Thus, no matter how large the band aid that you are able to place on Illinois’ pension crisis, its budget crisis, it capital crisis etc., Illinois has to address the fact that we have a crisis in confidence that is promulgated by the corruption in Illinois judicial system. The Illinois Supreme Court created the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission to protect the public from corrupt lawyers and judges. Jerome Larkin is its administrator. As hereinafter reported, Larkin has either aided and abetted or acted in concert with corrupt elements of the judiciary to defile and undermine any credibility that the Court system may enjoy. [2]
Corruption, even that which is engrained into the fabric, can be addressed by honest public officials who have courage and most important integrity. Candidly such individuals have not been readily available; however, the Illinois electorate believes by electing you as our governor that you can and will ally yourself with such persons.
As a starting point, Illinois citizens must feel safe and confident that they can trust their leaders. The Illinois Constitution of 1970 was just one of the attempts to cure the corruption scenario. In 1970 (prior to the Blue Ballot) Illinois judges were frustrating the populace not only with their hunger for collateral compensation not reported on the w2 form, but, by a helpless feeling that the nameless faceless bureaucrat had them by the ‘short hairs’ and their only remedy was to grin and bear or flee. Article 1 Section 12 of the Illinois Constitution reflects this frustration, to wit:
Every person shall find a certain remedy in the laws for all injuries and wrongs which he receives to his person, privacy, property or reputation. He shall obtain justice by law, freely, completely, and promptly.
Illinois Const., Art. I, § 12
A corrupt system relies on “fear” “censorship” and “intimidation.” Part of the syndrome of corruption is proactive litigation that is wired from beginning to end. 735 ILCS 110/5 addresses the intimidation litigation that would allow honest dissent and/or honest claims to be defeated by the crush of litigation costs.
§ 735 ILCS 110/5. Public policy
· Sec. 5. Public policy. Pursuant to the fundamental philosophy of the American constitutional form of government, it is declared to be the public policy of the State of Illinois that the constitutional rights of citizens and organizations to be involved and participate freely in the process of government must be encouraged and safeguarded with great diligence. The information, reports, opinions, claims, arguments, and other expressions provided by citizens are vital to effective law enforcement, the operation of government, the making of public policy and decisions, and the continuation of representative democracy. The laws, courts, and other agencies of this State must provide the utmost protection for the free exercise of these rights of petition, speech, association, and government participation.
735 ILCS 110/5
It should be noted that the Illinois legislature passes laws that meet or exceed expectations of the public on a regular basis. Just about every problem is addressed with appropriate words and phrases that give great comfort to the voting blocs that are concerned with the particular parochial problem. Unfortunately, the solution to the problem is implementation. Having a law on the books that is systematically ignored is not only a waste, but, a frustration. This situation is so common place in Illinois that many of us do see much sense in participation in government. The recent mayoral run-off had about 30% of the electorate voting!
Let us talk specifics. The Devil is in the details. I propose looking at one of the many cases that appear in the files of the Probate Division of the various Circuit Courts. The case of In re: Mary Sykes 09 P 4585 (Circuit Court of Cook County) is a poster board case.
In 2009 an Elderly grandmother caught her older daughter stealing from her. Some unpleasantness occurred and the grandmother made application to the Circuit Court of Cook County for a protective order. [3] The daughter, wise in the ways of Cook County, hired a “lawyer” with the appropriate clout. The petition for a protective order was shunted to the Probate Division and consolidated with a totally spurious petition for guardianship [4]. The criterion for guardianship is:
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
There were no attempts made to comply with the jurisdictional requirements of the guardianship act. A search of the record in the Mary Sykes 09 P 4585 reveals that the Summons required by the act was never served on Mary. There was no prior 14 day notice of hearing on Mary’s competency ever held and in point of fact no hearing was every held. No attempt was made to ascertain what if any actual mental, physical or adaptive limitations Mary might have had. A corrupt jurist rubber stamped an order handed to her by equally corrupt guardians and their attorney. Even the venue was not in accordance with the Statute. What is most telling is the fact that to avoid providing the appropriate notice Mary was removed from Cook County and was isolated in Naperville, Illinois. The Sheriff who made a search of his records and could not find any return of summons on Mary. Such is normally jurisdictional. To make certain that Mary was not informed of the attempt to guardianize her the de facto guardian directed the Sheriff to serve Mary in Cook County when the de facto guardian appointed by the Circuit Court had actual knowledge that Mary was being held by the older daughter in DuPage County [5].
Once a fraudulent guardianship was created and safely vested under the control of a cadre of miscreant lawyers and their co-operative corrupt jurist Mary was systematically separated from her property and liberty. Her safety deposit box was raided and over a million dollars in gold coins removed. (And never inventoried). Her valuables found their way out of her possession and her prior life disappeared. (See Gloria Sykes affidavit). Family members, friends and others who objected were systematically dealt with. Mary’s younger daughter was actually chained to a chair and required to disclose where she had hidden her (the daughter’s) assets which consisted of an insurance settlement.
All attempts to induce law enforcement to protect Mary Sykes were thwarted by the agreement of the two guardian ad litem, the guardian, corrupt jurists, corrupt political figures and miscellaneous miscreants. [6] Mr. Jerome Larkin and his band of **** at the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission lead the battle to silence any lawyer who had the audacity to demand an Investigation of this or any similar case [7]. They could care less about Illinois and Federal Statutory protections – they are above the law and their Gulag is safe. I was not the only attorney who was threatened with IARDC proceedings for questioning the spurious proceedings that were being promulgated against Mary Sykes sans jurisdiction. Most of the lawyers faded into the woodwork and were gone. I am of a different generation of lawyer. Gloria Sykes went through almost a dozen lawyers until she tried to fight for her mother’s life pro se. She has been totally unsuccessful. Like just about every victim or family member of a victim no one is interested in listening to her. For my inquiry into the Mary Sykes case, I was suspended for four years, and proceedings are pending to suspend JoAnne Denison for 3 years.
I am not asking you, Governor Rauner, to intervene or in any way interfere with my four year suspension. I am FULLY RETIRED. I am not writing to you concerning me or the Mary Sykes case. The issue here is not any particular case, but the climate that is so cancerous. Why would a sane person want to live in a State that is so lawless that a senior citizen or a disabled person is subjected to (at the whim of politically connected criminals) loss of liberty, property, humanity, dignity and all other rights of American citizenship.
The last sentence may seem harsh or over broad, but, it is not! The Alice Gore case is another of the umpteen “elder cleansing” cases that pollute the Illinois courts. Alice Gore’s situation was infamous in that her 1.5 million dollar estate was ravaged by some infamous individuals who for the purposes of this memorandum remain anonymous. These miscreants noted that Ms. Gore had gold filings in her mouth. They then had 29 teeth pulled and they harvested the gold! Of course they never inventoried their loot and when Mrs. Gore died they lost interest in her and never notified the family of her death.
Unfortunately, the scenario that I reported to has been repeated over and over again. The one unifying fact is that when the “body” of an elderly or disabled person has reaped for the miscreants the greatest pecuniary gain the elderly person is quietly put to death. (A few escape. John Wyman’s mother escaped because he violated the law grabbed her fled the State so that she could escape. His mother after being extricated from captivity produced a number of valuable paintings and artistic pieces.
Why should I reside in Illinois? Why should I do business in Illinois? Why should I have any contacts with the State of Illinois? In your campaign for governor you posed the questions. The answer is that there is not one good reason to reside, do business in, or have contacts with a State that allows a Mary Sykes or Alice Gore case to occur. Such outrages as the ‘elder cleansing scenario’ can happen to me or to one of my loved ones. Article 1 Section 12 of the Illinois Constitution is a myth! The families of the victims of elder abuse, elder exploitation, elder isolation, and elder cleansings [8] have no remedy. How can there be a remedy when the Justice System is corrupt and law enforcement observes the principle of benign neglect?
The outrage does not end in the corruption in the Probate court. It goes much deeper. We have police, law enforcement, and administrators with the power to reign in ultra vires actions of lawyers, judges, political figures, and others who claim to be servants of the people – they do nothing. Where were they in the Sykes case and/or the Gore case? Illinois has an Income tax. Everyone knows that the breach of a fiduciary duty is a taxable event under both the State of Illinois and the US tax codes. The Illinois Department of Revenue appears to have turned its head and not a penny of the aggregate several million dollars of stolen money in the Sykes has been taxed. The IDR is not interested. Indeed, everyone knows that those actors who engage in a conspiracy have joint and several liability and therefore Larkin and the attorneys who actively aid and abet the elder cleansing also enjoy liability for the taxes. (Conspirators who act together all enjoy the same liability).
The Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, the Illinois Supreme Court, and Mr. Larkin are on the front lines! They are shoulder to shoulder with the criminals who were abusing, isolating, exploiting and elder cleansing senior citizens such as Sykes and Gore. Indeed, Mr. Larkin, the administrator of the IARDC, was/is so upset by the call for an HONEST investigation that he brought highly unusual and bizarre disciplinary proceedings [9] not only against the undersigned but attorney JoAnne Denison who pursuant to 47 USCA 230 authored a blog in an effort to silence and intimidate us and the sundry lawyers of the Illinois Bar. The actions of Mr. Larkin and those who act in concert with him at abhorred by 18 USCA 4, 18 USCA 242, 18 USCA 1341, 18 USCA 371. The legislature has made in very clear that:
(a-7) A person making a report under this Act in the belief that it is in the alleged victim’s best interest shall be immune from criminal or civil liability or professional disciplinary action on account of making the report, notwithstanding any requirements concerning the confidentiality of information with respect to such eligible adult which might otherwise be applicable.
320 ILCS 20/4
The Bill of Rights and in particular the First Amendment mean nothing to the ‘elder cleansers’ as they prey on the elderly and the disabled so why should a State immunity grant be given any credibility! Larkin – assuming that having the title “Lawyer” has some knowledge of the law, he is aware of 18 USCA 2 and 18 USCA 3 are read in connection with 18 USCA 4. 18 USCA 4 requires:
Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
18 USCS § 4
As a lawyer, Larkin in his Administrative capacity is aware that pursuant to 42 USCA 12203, his actions violate the anti-intimidation mandate that Congress enacted to prevent exactly the actions that Larkin those who he acts in concert with are doing. See 18 USCA 242. Larkin is aware that the Americans With Disabilities Act requires that a reasonable accommodation be made for the elderly and the disabled, and he certain is aware that the railroading an individual into an guardianship wherein he/she is abused, isolated and exploited (elder cleansed) is not a reasonable accommodation. He certainly is aware of the limitations of the Guardianship act codified in 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3. Why is he still the Administrator of the IARDC? Why does this type of terrorism continue to haunt the elderly, the disabled and their families ? It exists because the prior administration of the State of Illinois either could not or would not enforce our laws!
Indeed, as all citizens are supposed to know the law, I submit to you that many citizens of Illinois and the United States of America are influenced by the lawlessness that is being fostered in this State. Corruption has been estimated to be $3008 per capita in Illinois. It is much easier to march on Springfield to demand more laws than to demand that the existing laws be enforced and public officials who shirk their responsibilities and oaths be held accountable.
Why would I locate my business in Illinois if I had an opportunity to live and work in any of the State of the Union? Looking only at the Elder cleansing scenario that is fostered, aided and abetted and nurtured by Jerome Larkin and some corrupt jurists and lawyers I cannot logically feel safe herein North Korea Illinois. This corruption is costing the State of Illinois billions of dollars!
Think of the predicament that citizen of Illinois has when Jerome Larkin and his ilk are assaulting the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights. If I hire a lawyer, I have to hire one who is corrupt, connected or both. If my lawyer speaks out and says the wrong thing – like demanding an HONEST investigation – he will be disciplined. Thus, I am assured that unless this changes Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa et al are much more attractive places to live, work, and locate my business. If I have a dispute with my neighbor, I would obtain an adjudication on a level playing field.
I and the citizens of the State of Illinois urge you, as you attempt to turn Illinois around, to consider directing law enforcement including the Illinois State Police to enforce the law not only by issuing traffic tickets on the toll way, but by arresting criminals who are kidnapping the elderly and the infirm for profit. It is very clear from the file in 09 P 4585 that Mary Sykes was spirited from her home in Cook County, isolated abused and exploited by white collar criminals who misused the justice system for their own benefit. The Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals give stark precedent to the fact that harvesting the gold from the mouths of the elderly is not accepted behavior for even such august individuals as guardian ad litem, guardians, judges, Jerome Larkin etc condone the same. Illinois will never be ‘great’ again until the law means the very same thing to the lowly flotsam who have to work for their daily bread and the elite who enjoy political favors.
I and other members of the public respectfully suggest and urge you to enforce the law of the State of [10]Illinois to protect the elderly and the disabled from ravages and exploitation by corrupt judicial officials, their appointees and political operatives such as Jerome Larkin.
[1] We have so many governors going to jail that civics student have difficulty remembering the names of the governors who did not go from the State house to the Big house. It is common place to read that such and such public executive has defrauded the State, the County, or the City of millions of dollars. In February
Deborah Quazzo, founder and managing partner of GSV Advisors, a venture capital firm….. Her dual roles as public official and private investor are being investigated by the Chicago school system’s inspector general. The
Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett is under Federal Investigation for a specie of fraud..
[2] This is a harsh statement, but, I submit that Jerome Larkin’s current conduct in the JoAnne Denison case is so reprehensible as to utterly destroy any confidence in the judicial system in Illinois. He is committing a naked assault on the First Amendment and the core values of America – and no one seems to care. He even unilaterally barred a hero of the Civil Rights movement from a public hearing!
[3] This Petition was never heard. Any attempt to call it up for hearing was thwarted. The powers that be, without jurisdiction or even token compliance with the protections of 755 ILCS 5/11a – 1 et seq. decreed that Mary Sykes was to be isolated from her prior life, her humanity and liberty rights forfeit and her life savings and other assets redistributed to the more deserving judicial appointees and their associates. The guardian as an example suddenly exhibited the tokens of wealth when immediately prior to her appointment was begging for handouts from Mary.
[4] Mary Sykes has been depicted in videos that were posted on MaryGSykes blog. Therein it is demonstrated that she was perfectly competent in that she knew the objects of her bounty, the extent and nature of her property and was able to formulate a plan. Indeed, had any hearing actually been scheduled and held as to Mary’s competency it would have been quite clear that it could not be proven by clear and convincing evidence that Mary was incompetent. She knew exactly how much was stolen by the daughter petitioning to be guardian, she did her own banking, and knew who her family was. It was interesting to note that even though 755 ILCS 5/11a – 10 requires the service of 14 days prior notice on immediate (close or nearest) family members the Petitioner (older daughter) did not disclose that Mary had two siblings alive. In other words the miscreant petitioner for guardian either was not candid with the Court or she did not know the names of her two aunts.
[5] The Court has held that the 14 days prior notice is jurisdictional. This ‘dirty little secret’ is difficult to avoid if the file in the Mary Sykes case is examined. However, by the mix of a little frugality with the truth, a little obfuscation, and an outright lie of two the jurisdictional aspect has been avoided. The miscreant lawyers and jurist have focused on a proceeding to develop a care plan as an alternative to a hearing to determine competency. A scheduled hearing on the petition for an order of protection substituted for such due process requirements as notice. The agreement between the two guardian ad litem of the attorney for the petitioner took the place of testimony and the rubber stamp of a jurist made the entire proceeding kosher.
[6] Law enforcement historically is not interested in the cases that compose the War on the Elderly and the Disabled. The corrupt jurists have great power and are assured that Jerome Larkin and the IARDC will aid and abet the Elder Cleansing to the death! There is no percentage in fighting ‘city hall’ especially when the proceedings are wired from beginning to end.
[7] After a number of aggrieved individuals wrote the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission to complaint that the railroading of Mary Sykes into a guardianship was a terrible thing and there was only a negative response from the IARDC, in April 2010, I was engaged to investigate the situation by a number of neighbors, friends and family of Mary Sykes. When the two guardian ad litem got wind of my engagement they tried to first intimidate me by telephone threats and when I was not intimidated they filed a Rule 137 motion against me. To my surprise, without jurisdiction over me – as I had up to this point no contact with the probate proceeding in case 09 P 4585 – the corrupt jurist found me guilty. It took a year and I was finally fined $4500.00. I appealed and the appellate court found no jurisdiction. Such brought the IARDC into the picture. Guardian Ad Litem Cynthia Farenga wrote to the Commission that I joined by JoAnne Denison had demanded an Honest investigation. She demanded and obtained a disciplinary proceeding against both myself and Ms. Denison.
[8] Elder Cleansing is the First cousin of Racial and Ethnic cleansing. Elder Cleansing is the act of railroading a senior citizen into a guardianship so that they can be isolated from family and prior life and then without interference from caring family, friends and neighbors the senior can be stripped of his/her humanity, assets, life savings, liberty and other property.
[9] In my proceedings an IARDC attorney shocked the gallery by asking me if I was repentant for writing a letter to the Attorney General of the United States requesting an investigation of these elder cleansing cases that were going on in the Probate court. I told him that as long as the Stars and Stripes waved, I intended to continue my fight against the assaults on the Bill of Rights. Attorney Denison exercised her First Amendment Rights by publishing my essays on her blog, and worse yet making available to the public material such as transcripts of proceedings in the Sykes case and others. Neither Ms. Denison nor myself have attorned to the code of silence that Mr. Larkin and his cohorts have arbitrarily imposed on the legal community.
The bizarre nature of the Denison proceedings is 1) the fact that such an obvious assault on the First Amendment has been made, 2) that the proceeding parallels a disciplinary proceeding against Attorney Lanre Amu that appears to many as having a racial nexus, and 3) that Larkin’s minions excluded from her argument before an appellate panel Ms. Diane Nash. Ms. Nash was the only person excluded. Ms. Nash is a hero of the Civil Rights movement and one of the organizers of the Selma March. (NB. Her name and likeness are portrayed in the move “Selma!”)
[10] If Larkin and his ilk are innocent, why do they oppose an HONEST investigation, and in particular, why have they not joined in the call for such an investigation. It should be noted that in the Mary Sykes case it was reported that Mary Sykes’ home (which was valued at approximately $700,000) was sold to a nominee of one of the attorneys for approximately $200,000. We reported pursuant to 18 USCA 4 to the Attorney General of the United States so that the miscreants cannot claim capital gains when they resell the dwelling for $700,000 through a series of mesne sales.

Success in Las Vegas–95 year WWII vet escapes “professional guardians”
Now he is happy at home with friends and relatives caring for him.
From the NASGA newsletter today:
check out a happy ending, but it was only after a horror story of being forced from his own home, $400k drained from his estate by “professionals” that his family endured a long court battle to let him go free.
Congratualtions to this family and their endurance and a nice success story of hope.
And I’m also pleased to announce that Glenda Martinez and her husband Col. Alan Smith, ret’d., are now back together and at home after waging a fierce battle for about 1.5 years to free Col. Smith from an abusive guardian and nursing home. Unfortunately Col Smit returned to his home with dehydration, malnutrition, bed sores and rashes. Glenda is now lovingly caring for him at home and please pray for his total recovery. This is the case where the “professionals” were able to annul the marriage and Ms. Martinez’s powers of attorney. The Florida Appellate court just overturned all those decisions. I am waiting for a a copy of the decision to post right now. Col. Smith was a victim of “target, isolate, medicate and drain the estate” until Glenda fought a long and loving battle to stop that greed and evil. What a heroine. We are all very, very proud of you Glenda and your brave attorneys.
He returned to his own home and is very happy with his “non professional” famiily and friend caregivers who give him all the love and attention and good food he desires.
Two wonderful stories this week, let’s keep it up.

If only we can get the grandma zombies to protect our elders from probate and locked down nursing homes?
Any film student want to write a plot for that one?
Fortunately, there are several film schools in my city where student directors are always looking for talent to use in their films — especially talent that will work for free just to have an excuse to get out of the house. And so suddenly I found myself in big demand. I mean really. How many little old ladies do you know who are willing to throw themselves into an acting career? Not all that many. So I seemed to have pretty much cornered the market — because there’s really not all that much competition.
