__________________________________________________________
Is a new, lucrative career as professional predator waiting for you? Call us at 1-800-yourascumbag or: send your resume to “Coffin Chasers r Us” !
_______________________________________________________
Are you looking for a new career? Tired of actually having to work for a living? Do you lack any morals, ethics, any sense of empathy or sympathy? Are you looking to make easy money? Would it bother you to be known as a “coffin chaser”, a predator, a vulture? Could you sleep at night knowing you had caused so much misery and
suffering not only to your victim, but also to the extended family as a result of your chosen profession? Your personal greed? Your lack of humanity? You could?? Have we got a career for you!
Become a Professional Fiduciary! Take ownership of another human being!
These are just a few of the highlights of the career that awaits you should you decide to become a professional predator! With our training you will learn how lucrative owning another human being can be. Multiply that by the limitless possibility of having hundreds of victims that you supposedly are caring for. We’ll show you how to set things up to make it look like you actually performed some kind of service to the victim while never having to do a thing except collect the money!
We guarantee that you will never be held accountable to anyone for any of the lives you will destroy. Heck! We even have judges who will give you immunity from prosecution should anyone try to hold you accountable!
So drop us a line and tell us why you think you could work as a predator in the guardianship field. The professional fiduciary field is the fastest growing and most lucrative cottage industry in the country and is fully supported by the Bar Association, The National Guardianship Association, Judicial Oversight and Review Boards, and those laughably useless Fiduciary Oversight Boards that we have set up in almost every state.

Subject: Re: Follow through on investigation of Adam Stern/Cynthia Farenga.
And on this eve of yet doing battle to get the stories of all my probate victims told to the IARDC tribunal when no words can describe the utter horrors and victimization that have occured, Ms. Miller directs us to her website where her story, her pleading and her cries for justice can be found
She also coins the new term “elder trafficing” and I wonder if that is more apt to what is going on. Ken Ditkowsky likes the term elder cleansing. And for certain, disableds and the elderly are cleansed of their wealth, their human and civil rights and their dignity and their advance directives, but it all starts with the idea and concept that elders can and may be targeted. Those you know and love. Those that are your aunts, uncles, grandparents, — you name it, it happens.
I wonder if the ARDC lives in fear of all the stories I can tell and will tell. The ones not on this blog The ones of the victims that will not allow me to talk, to comment. They are ashamed, embarrased but they are not yet dead. But their files live on.
It used to be a regular occurrence, the fires at the OPG or Office of Public Guardian. (SO doesn’t like me saying this, so I will direct you to one article http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2004-10-17/news/0410170038_1_public-guardian-feels-cook-county-administration-building so you can read about it yourself. 3 people died because doors used to be “no entry” in loop buildings, but now that is changed) But then a few people they forgot to warn on Friday afternoon died in those fires, so they don’t set them anymore to destroy records–as alleged by probate victims and some attorneys who will remain nameless. Besides, Dorothy Brown, after much cajoling is sewing up that avenue. The pleadings, records and files are on the internet and with your help, those days will in fact be over. I would like to bring in Pacer to Cook County Court system, and to the IARDC, but it has not happened yet.
We need transparency, we need accountability in so, so many departments of Cook County government it is indeed agonizing to many families and friends of wards.
So please show up on Monday and Tuesday at 9:30 am. We can and will fight this together. My blog does not lie. It ticks off the powers that be, but they created the situation and dwell within it. They need to move on to a new forum. Not the court system.

Subject: Fw: opening argument of the IARDC
Dear Readers;
After MS’s opening argument that my blog is like yelling fire in a crowded movie theatre (and I would direct her to the Nelson case where Harold Washington was painted in ladies’ underwear and a garter–see what Justice Possner says about that!),
you can read my opening argument.
But I am dedicated to YOU, the reader and to all the court room victims out there who see this nonsense day in and day out and are appalled by the lack of a court, a judge, a lawyer to follow simple procedures in state court. You just don’t find all this nonsense in federal court. Federal court has its own problems, but not this.

Is the wonderful and amazing opening argument of Ms. Melissa Smart
In her opening she argues:
1) my blog is the same as yelling “fire” in a movie theatre
2) my blog is dangerous to the mary g sykes case (which of course cannot be relitigated)
3) my blog has seriously damaged the mary g sykes case
4) I am not allowed to criticize a court, a judge or a decision. (but that’s only because she has not read In Re Sawyer, or she read it sideways, not sure) read In re Sawyer at http://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/360/622/case.html

I do believe there are no coincidences, everyone who is a light entity and a good person comes with guardian angels, a chart and a plan. If your life is hard, guess what? You signed up for it. The reason? To learn more. Earth is the Harvard of the universe. If you are here you have accomplished a whole lot before you came here. This will not last and it will be over soon. Wealth, real and personal property will soon be gone. Do the best you can with what you have. The Divine Ones are NOT in any shape or form bullies.

We do this to ourselves to learn as much as we can while we are here. Note you learn the most when times are the hardest. Joanne

From recent cases from Ken Ditkowsky:
Garrison v. State of LA
Where criticism of public officials is concerned, we see no merit in the argument that criminal libel statutes serve interests distinct from those secured by civil libel laws, and therefore should not be subject to the same limitations.3 At common law, truth was no defense to criminal *68 libel. Although the victim of a true but defamatory publication might not have been unjustly damaged in reputation by the libel, the speaker was still
punishable since the remedy was designed to avert the possibility that the utterance would provoke an enraged victim to a breach of peace. That argument is well stated in Edward Livingston’s explanation of the defamation provisions of his proposed penal code for Louisiana:

Garrison v. State of LA
Where criticism of public officials is concerned, we see no merit in the argument that criminal libel statutes serve interests distinct from those secured by civil libel laws, and therefore should not be subject to the same limitations.3 At common law, truth was no defense to criminal *68 libel. Although the victim of a true but defamatory publication might not have been unjustly damaged in reputation by the libel, the speaker was still
punishable since the remedy was designed to avert the possibility that the utterance would provoke an enraged victim to a breach of peace. That argument is well stated in Edward Livingston’s explanation of the defamation provisions of his proposed penal code for Louisiana:
‘In most cases, the connexion between cause and effect exists between the subject of this chapter and that of a subsequent one—Of Duels. Defamation, either real or supposed, is the cause of most of those combats which no laws have yet been able to suppress. If lawgivers had originally condescended to pay some attention to the passions and feelings of those for whom they were to legislate, these appeals to arms would never have usurped a power superior to the laws; but by affording no satisfaction for the wounded feelings of honour, they drove individuals to avenge all wrongs of that description, denied a place in the code of criminal law. Insults formed a title in that of honour, which claimed exclusive jurisdiction of this offence.’ Livingston. A **213 System of Penal Law for the State of Louisiana
Moreover, even where the utterance is false, the great principles of the Constitution which secure freedom of expression in this area preclude attaching adverse consequences to any except the knowing or reckless falsehood. Debate on public issues will not be uninhibited if the speaker must run the risk that it will be proved in court that he spoke out of hatred; even if he did speak out of hatred, utterances honestly believed contribute to the free interchange of ideas and the ascertainment of truth. Under a rule like the Louisiana rule, permitting a finding of malice based on an intent merely to inflict harm, rather than an intent to inflict harm through falsehood, ‘it becomes a hazardous matter to speak out against a popular politician, with the result that the dishonest and incompetent will be shielded.’ Noel, Defamation *74 of Public Officers and Candidates, 49 Col.L.Rev. 875, 893 (1949). Moreover, ‘(i)n the case of charges against a popular political figure * * * it may be almost impossible to show freedom from ill-will or selfish political motives.’ Id., at 893, n. 90. Similar considerations supported our holdings that federal officers enjoy an absolute privilege for defamatory publication within the scope of official duty, regardless of the existence of malice in the sense of ill-will. Barr v. Matteo, 360 U.S. 564, 79 S.Ct. 1335, 3 L.Ed.2d 1434; Howard v. Lyons, 360 U.S. 593, 79 S.Ct. 1331, 3 L.Ed.2d 1454; cf. Gregoire v. Biddle, 177 F.2d 579 (C.A.2d Cir. 1949). What we said of Alabama’s civil libel law in New York Times, 376 U.S., at 282—283, 84 S.Ct., at 727, applies equally to the Louisiana criminal libel rule: ‘It would give public servants an unjustified preference over the public they serve, if critics of official conduct did not have a fair equivalent of the immunity granted to the officials themselves.’
Truth may not be the subject of either civil or criminal sanctions where discussion of public affairs is concerned. And since ‘* * * erroneous statement is inevitable in free debate, and * *
it must be protected if the freedoms of expression are to have the ‘breathing space’ that they ‘need * * * to survive’ * * *,’ 376 U.S., at 271—272, 84 S.Ct. at 721, only those false statements made with the high degree of awareness of their probable falsity demanded by New York Times may be the subject of either civil or criminal sanctions. For speech concerning public affairs is *75 more than self-expression; it is the essence of self-government. The First and Fourteenth Amendments embody our ‘profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.’ New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S., at 270, 84 S.Ct., at 721.
[10] [11] The use of calculated falsehood, however, would put a different cast on the constitutional question. Although honest utterance, even if inaccurate, may further the fruitful exercise of the right of free speech, it does not follow that the lie, knowingly and deliberately published about a public official, should enjoy a like immunity.
Hence the knowingly false statement and the false statement made with reckless disregard of the truth, do not enjoy constitutional protection.
And ‘actual malice’ is defined in the decisions below to mean ‘hatred, ill will or enmity or a wanton desire to injure * * *.’ 244 La., at 851, 154 So.2d at 423.
The statute is also unconstitutional as interpreted to cover false statements against public officials.
Justice Goldberg point out that “ the Constitution accords citizens and press an unconditional freedom to criticize official conduct.’ “ Garrison v. State of La., 379 U.S. 64, 88, 85 S. Ct. 209, 223, 13 L. Ed. 2d 125 (1964)
Judges are elected officials;
“Manifestly a candidate must surrender to public scrutiny and discussion so much of his private character as affects his fitness for office, and the liberal rule requires no more. But, in measuring the extent of a candidate’s profert of character, it should always be remembered that the people have good authority for believing that grapes do not grow on thorns, nor figs on thistles.’ 78 Kan. 711, 739, 98 P. 281, 291, 20 L.R.A.,N.S., 361 (1908).”Garrison v. State of La., 379 U.S. 64, 77, 85 S. Ct. 209, 217, 13 L. Ed. 2d 125 (1964)

And while the Illinois ARDC continues to say “we must not relitigate” and that’s why they cannot investigate, Rome is burning.
From Ginny Johnson, she wishes to share her story of how she was a kind, loving, long term caretaker of her father in NC, and one day the two arrived home to find that Ginny was locked out of her home and her father (God rest his soul) was locked out of his own home and told he must now live at the VA where he was not more than a few days shuttled off to a nursing home connected to NC probate attorney investments.
Ginny was subsequently terrorized by the court, (anti) social service agencies, and brushed off by the authorities. Her father died in agony and shame over the probate proceeding and was forced into living in a nursing home. Ginny was locked out of her own home without due process, notice or a hearing. Everyone is entitled to due process, even if his or her parent is in a guardianship proceeding. The procedure is known as eviction, and most relatives have at least 30 days to look for a new place, dispute the proceeding or claim equity in the dwelling if they paid the mortgage or utilities.
Ginny was summarily booted out, locked out and could not find a good attorney because she did not have the money.
see her story below and provide her with prayers for comfort and healing. She is still reeling from this harrowing experience and looking for sympathetic attorneys in NC near Raleigh/Durham.
Please help her if you can.

Subject: Fw: FYI under DOJ
Dear Readers;
Well, the time has finally come to file a copyright lawsuit against the miscreants. You will note that the civil rights complaint was only filed against certain miscreants–not all of them. This is carving out what is most likely to succeed against your opponent in litigation. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t sue everyone and you decide whether you are going after a company or agency or just the employees for their wrongful acts. Likewise, the copyright suit was only filed against certain miscreants, but that does not mean that certain others are off the hook. If you copied large portions of my blog containing my creative works, those of KKD and Gloria and others, don’t think you are off the hook for copyright infringement, you are not. It is very easy to add defendants once the lawsuit is filed. For example, I note that portions that were copied contained Lisa Belanger’s poem regarding her father, and also certain other’s works, including cover art work by John Howard Wyman which has been copyrighted.
While we haven’t added these plaintiffs yet, I simply cannot imagine the IARDC’s excuse for investigating me (but never asking Gloria, Kathie, Scott and Yolanda about the truth of what I am publishing first), and then engaging in blatant and notorious copyright infringement against innocent members of the public–Gloria, Lisa, Janet and others.
Nimmer on Copyrights (sorry, I can share that text, get it at your local law library) makes it clear in his section on “evidence as fair use” that there is no “evidence” exception to fair use. Fair use is for your own personal research, education, some religious exceptions (you can sing a hymn in church as part of a religious service but not pass out copyrighted lyrics)–and even then, fair use is only a few sentences, maybe a paragraph or two which you immediately comment upon. Take what you need to make your point, but never take more than you need, that is infringement. Also, if you are in litigation, yes, you will have to buy or license the following from the party producing it: copyright photographs, including the model’s rights therein, any copying from books, appraisal report are often copyrighted and you have to buy them separately, if you want data from a copyrighted program such as Peachtree, QuickBooks and the like be prepared to show you already own a license or you will just be using it in a “viewer program”. Many larger companies have their data in proprietary data bases and software, meaning you will NEVER get the data because you will NEVER be able to use it. That party will contact the vendor and tell him not to grant a license and the vendor is likely to cut off the party from getting raw data on that basis. I have done it in litigation. It works. A proprietary financial/sales system can stop a 3rd party from getting raw data. It won’t stop them from asking your client to run a few reports, but it will stop that nonsense.
I get the question all the time, what if I am writing a book that is a parody of another book or it contains quotes from a copyrighted book? Simple, go to the publisher and ask for their licensing department. Pay the small fee ($50 to $100) for the quote and do it the right way.
Read Ken’s comments below.
It is entirely fair and fitting that the wholesale copying of creative works–many of which are not even mine, must be redressed (reported) to a federal court judge.
All proceeds from this lawsuit will go Justice4Every1.com for probate victims.
I am also looking for a tax lawyer that is experienced in NFP’s.
thanks. We will fight this and win. We will clean up the benches in our courtrooms. The days of the “Code of Silence” the IARDC wants is over. Ken and I and others known and unknown are making sure of that.
Join us on Mar 10 and 11th as I intent to organize a protest outside the offices of the IARDC.
The weather will be better. We can take pictures and hopefully the news will show up.
I think we should do it during the lunch hour, maybe more people will see what they do is wrong, namely:
1) no reporting on ethics by the IARDC attorneys and managers EVER. Directly contrary to the 2009 Illinois Ethics Act-my question is why? We call, they say they are a “private business” when in fact they are an administrative agency of the SCOI!
2) no publishing salaries of the IARDC attorneys and staff. Why? They do not answer my Freedom of Information Requests for salary information. Why? 99% of Illinois agency salaries are reported–even the tens of thousands of teachers in Illinois do them. Why does not the IARDC do them?
3) Other state agencies publish “accountability and transparency” statements. The IARDC does not. It has secrets. Lots of them. About $21 million according to the 2012 Annual Report. Look at it, you can easily google it and I have published it here. Apparently taking some $300 plus per licensed lawyer since 1978 has resulted in a “slush fund” for the managers. Why do they have that? Should they not be required to do Ethics Reporting before they hale in any atty for disciplinary proceedings? Should they not be required to publish a list of all the companies they invest in so the atty can see if in fact a company listed (a bank or insurance company) had been sued by the atty in question? I for one would like to know.
There are public records indicating judges in my case, Ken’s case and Mr. Amu’s case have interesting and highly unusual financial activities. I would like to know why.
Connors said “no discovery” to Gloria’s attorney, Jay Dolgin when he asked. Why is that? The IARDC follows the same pattern. Gloria had the right to ask about Carolyn’s finances, her husband’s finances, Kristen’s finances. She was shut up and shut up right away.
The IARDC says when I bring these things up, I “must not relitigate”. But this blog IS the other side of the story. It consists of attorney questions and opinions and those of Gloria, Bev and Ken Cooper, Sylvia Rudek, and other managers of Probate Sharks, NASGA and other respected probate blogs.
Why does the IARDC say that probate blogs are ipso facto (automatically and per se) not experts? What is up with that? They have not come up with a larger expert than NASGA that gets 140,000 views per year, or Probate Sharks that gets 70,000.
They have not answered the complaints of Sykes, Bedin, Gore, Wyman and others seriously damaged by lack of jurisdiction, millions of dollars missing from accountings (Sykes and Gore and Tyler), attorneys such as Miriam Solotovich continues to go into the private judge’s areas with Judge Stuart (Feb 20, 2014 at about 10:50 am– a day that will live in infamy) and no lawyer says anything, no one protests. During my trial, the excuse was “oh, they have arbitrations back there”–but arbitrations require 2 attys not one, or two parties and an attorney not one. Their excuses are lame and idiotic. Plus, how about this, to avoid the appearance of an impropriety, don’t hold arbitrations there. Do it in the dozen+ jury rooms and conference rooms that are always unused.
I am not litigious, I do NOT want to sue people for copyright infringement, esp. when it is pretty much a lay down type of suit and there is personal liability for every infringer and there is not corporate limitation on liability. There is also no insurance policy that covers it because it is an intentional wrongdoing. You know when you slap someone else’s creative writings onto a copier you are infringing. You know when you print out creative writings from the internet that you are infringing–esp. when you send it on or show it to others. You also know that when you use a program like Nextpoint, even a kid knows that uTorrent, Gnutella and LimeWire are completely illegal and will get you into a ton of trouble with DMCA notices filling your parent’s mail box threatening them with huge fines and penalties for copyright infringement (most kids know enough to proxy via a foreign country, and if you don’t know how to do it, ask a kid, but my advice is buy your stuff off of ebay used and don’t infringe, how about that).
Nextpoint is nothing but evil, IMHO, they run a “barely legal” business and there is no legit excuse for their software or business. They are clearly living on the edge waiting for the first fallout of how they or their employees knew of infringement and did not shut it down immediately. That poor sales rep from Nextpoint being misled by the IARDC. Nextpoint will learn next time to get an IP expert and not be led into perdition by two faced infringers.
Kids, again, don’t do this at home. Eventually, by infringing you will tick off some person or company that sues first and asks questions later. The ND Ill federal court system is not kind or accommodating to infringers. They consider it theft just as much as you pick a pocket, forge a check or drive off with someone else’s car.

In the below case, a police officer is put on administrative leave after witnessing another officer beat and choke a suspect. The whistleblower sued in Federal Court to get his job back. The 9th circuit denied his Petition to appeal. The city has not decided whether to reinstate him on his job.
Despite plenty of state and federal laws to protect whistleblowers, they are still often victimized by the system.

From Joanne;
I am NOT in agreement at all that Ms. Farenga can copy hundreds of pages of my blog ostensibly in an effort to “report me” to the IARDC for an investigation, when she is involved in a case 1) without jurisdiction–no evidence of service of summons or complaint upon Mary; 2) an improperly issued TRO that has lasted for 150+ ten day periods; 3) comingling of an estate with a trust where the trust held Mary’s home but the estate paid the mortgage; 4) an (unfair and grossly overreaching) attack on a settlement (Lumberman’s) which clearly belonged to Gloria for her home to be rebuilt and now it lies in waste and she is homeless and penniless whereas before Dec 7, 2009 Gloria had in excess of $250k in assets at her disposale; 5) cuffing Gloria to find out where these assets were and freeze them; 6) conveniently PS asserts he is owed over $200k in legal fees; the isolation of Mary from over half her friends and family; 7) placing her in a nursing home without court order; 8) no bond on the TRO….. you get the picture.
I have the right to say those things. Fair use is only a handful of sentences within a paragraph and for research, educational and non commercial purposes, not pages and pages of downloading and copying to “report someone” with reams of text that is clearly mundane and innocuous. I would not recommend doing that to anyone, as an IP lawyer. Only take what you need and leave the rest. If you don’t, you clearly risk suit for infringement.
But the IARDC comes after myself and Ken for calling for an investigation. Writing the authorities (so you can see that SOME attorneys are honest and care about justice and ethics) and we show you how to do this.
The IARDC claims calling for an investigation of a highly troubled case is unethical and is “overly critical” of some golden boy and girl attorneys.
I still see attorneys going into Judge Stuart’s private areas–despite the Greylord orders prohibiting that.
We call for an investigation, we are investigate and they want this blog shut down.
The miscreants violate Greylord orders not to go talk to the judges privately and cut their deals, and the IARDC looks the other way.
And you wonder why many call this the “Crook County” court system.
Ken and I are here to clean it up. To point out directly where compliance is sorely lacking. We want YOU, the public to have confidence in the court system again. We want the Greylord orders enforced. We want the IARDC to go after the miscreants and not the messengers. We have other attorneys now and a network helping us.
If you are an attorney, please write me and start your own blog about fighting for truth and justice in the courtrooms.
I will not stop unless and until I hear no more complaints about gross violations of ethics that the IARDC and the courts are ignoring.

From Joanne:
And in my usual fashion of ensuring openness and transparency to you, my reader, I will be publishing all the Pacer pleadings on this blog. We have 18 so far and I hope to have them all up in a few minutes. The suit Ken and I filed is about our civil rights. All I have done is run a blog. It should be protected by the first amendment. It is clearly political speech imploring the court system to do a better job because there are a ton of a ton of a ton of (valid) complaints out there.
Here is the current drive:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6FbJzwtHocwSlRTQjRvVFhZcVU&usp=sharing
And I will add to it often as possible.
Transparency and accountability.
I can hardly wait for discovery to open. I have a ton of a ton of questions about the IARDC. For example, how is it that JL is sued personally, but he has THREE attorneys working for a state agency defending him with public funds? Those funds belong to the public and not JL’s private fiefdom. Also, if you take a look at the 2012 Annual Report you will note that the IARDC apparently has some sort of slush fund of some $21 million in “investments”. What exactly are they investing in, and why isn’t this disclosed to any attorney that they call in on a disciplinary matter? Who decides what to invest in, how are they managed? Are there kickbacks we’ll never know about because the IARDC refuses to comply with the 2009 Illinois Ethics Act? I have a whole lot of questions. I have seen and smelled the fish around this one for a long time.

1) Donations of office space.
2) M.D.’s who are willing to go against the powers that be in probate and tell the truth that certain wards have ample cognitive abilities and prepare reports.
3) CPA’s who can verify accounting statements are true and accurate when miscreants are willing to lie, cheat and steal over them.
Please email me if you know of any reputable, honest M.D.’s or CPA’s willing to help and provide court testimony.
We need to band together to reintroduce honest, ethics and morality into the Probate Courts.
Dear Readers;
After Gloria broke down and said that she did not want to provide any privileged or proprietary information, I asked the IARDC for a Protective Order, which are routinely granted, both in the TTAB and in the Federal District Courts. Amazingly, when typically every case I’ve been involved in the parties just agree and submit an agreed Protective Order (this is actually what you are supposed to do at the TTAB), the IARDC denied the request for a Protective Order!
This is the response from the IARDC. In this Response Brief you will see that the ARDC never acknowledges that Gloria is a probate victim, should be given special treatment and is entitled to a Protective Order. They go on about imaginary “violations of discovery” when in fact, this is normal and typical discovery for both sides. If they can’t find a violation, they make one up and tell the tribunal it is true when in fact it is not.
I would be surprised by what they are doing, except when you investigate and look at their public records. I am amazed that SCOI thinks no one knows they are fostering, aiding and abetting such an obvious CYA agency–in fact an agency that denies it is a state agency at all and when you ask them about Ethics reporting and salary publishing, they claim to be a private enterprise!
But as you know, I publish all, and I publish the truth, so look for yourself.
The Reponse from the IARDC:

The Order from the IARDC denying my (most reasonable and customary) Request for a Protective Order.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6FbJzwtHocwS3pLckxKdWF1WnM/edit?usp=sharing
In dozens and dozens of cases, I have never had 1) a litigant deny the need for a Proective Order and 2) balk at entering into one where proprietary information is involved.
If anyone can explain this, plmk because I am dumbfounded.
As the “Table of Torts” or “Table of Troubles for court”, the behavior by the Probate Court is one continuing series of events never before seen by many, many long practicing attorneys and I don’t mean this in a good way. It’s despicable that this should happen in the US.
And the pleading in the IARDC proceeding are going the same way.
This is my complete ARDC pleadings drive of everything scanned in and saved.
I dedicate it’s extraordinary strangeness to the public for your review and consideration:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6FbJzwtHocweG5BcTdfZFoxR3M&usp=sharing
I will also post this link under ARDC pleadings
You will notice the IARDC does not do the same. It does not share. It denies transparency and accountability.

This is from Gloria today regarding her side of the story
Subject: Re: I’m being banned from testifying? Or are they making it as difficult as possible?
I will be doing a LIVE testimony and people will be able to call in and ask questions after the formal testimony given. I will provide everybody with date and time- including the ARDC and Tribunal.
In America no person or animal should be tortured, deprived or otherwise handcuffed without due process and in particular by the courts meant to find justice no matter how great she hides.
My father was a vet too and although his appointments have been hero secret he had in his possession three medals if which two had to do with ‘sharp shooting’ I had found these metals and the papers which Toerpe found and destroyed as she stole and destroyed all of the writings, police reports and war related material my father saved and gave to me to write a book. These documents were kept in the attic in daddy’s black chest which Kathie found at Debby’s garage sale brought there by Toerpe.
Stealing memories and data of lived ones is a true sign of a sociopath who lives with delusions of grandeur and greed as my sister Carolyn Toerpe. That Judge Maureen Connors now on the appellate bench and Jane Louise Stuart has so eagerly empowered her is a reminder of Hitler who at a word hundreds of his army marched the elderly, disabled and a children into showers of toxic gas where they took their last breaths and then the same Hitler subordinates dragged the bodies into ditches that became the death beds so famously portrayed in photographs now hung at the Holocaust museum. What is sad is that prior to the gas chambers Dr. Schmiedel injected the elderly, disabled, and young with highly toxic drugs where death was slow and painful. Dr, Schmiedel’s T-IV plan was a disaster to Hitler because it took too long to kill. It is also well known that the gold was removed from the teeth of the elderly and disabled prior to death but before all if their valuables were taken and bestowed on Hitler as gifts. The common name Schmiedel has one origin.
Attorney Schmiedel has learned much from his German origin and it is no wonder Fischel and Kahn is associated with Schmiedel. There was simply no money in working for the non profit as he once did to right wrongs : his years with the Office of Public Guardian taught him well and Adam Stern and I believe judge ***** worked under Schmiedel.
Schmiedel is a war criminal by name and is now practicing in the probate courts and a person of the LIE. My parents survived the depression and built a good life for themselves and their family only for Schmiedel and company to steal all that was good and promising for his personal financial gain.
I will announce the date and time of my LIVE testimony in a week.
My prayers and live to all who suffered and are suffering because if People of the LIE in what Gail and I named the American Holocaust in 2010 when we looked up and read Hitters t-4 plan (or maybe it was t-3) founded by and fulfilled by Dr. Schmiedel.

From Wiki: Hitler’s T4 program
Action T4
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This poster (from around 1938) reads: “60,000 Reichsmark is what this person suffering from a hereditary defect costs the People’s community during his lifetime. Fellow citizen, that is your money too. Read ‘[A] New People’, the monthly magazine of the Bureau for Race Politics of the NSDAP.”
Action T4 (German: Aktion T4, pronounced [ak?tsi?o?n te? fi??]) was the name used after World War II[1] for Nazi Germany’s “euthanasia programme” during which physicians murdered thousands of people who were “judged incurably sick, by critical medical examination”.[2] The programme officially ran from September 1939[3][4] to August 1941, and it continued unofficially[5] until the end of the Nazi regime in 1945.[6]
During the official stage of Action T4, 70,273 people were killed at various extermination centres located at psychiatric hospitals.[7] Evidence was revealed at the Nuremberg Trials that German and Austrian physicians continued the euthanization of patients after October 1941, and that a total of about 275,000 people were murdered under T4.[8] Based on files recovered after 1990, 21st century research provides evidence that at least 200,000 physically or mentally handicapped people were killed in gas chambers, by medication, or deliberate starvation between 1939 and 1945.[9]
see full article on Aktion T4 at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_T4 and see the amazing poster of how Germany sought to end the lives of 60,000+ disableds, crippleds and undesirables that “cost too much”–after all, it’s YOUR money too!
On of the issues in my case is the massive copyright infringment of hundred of pages of my blog.
So, of interest is the following case:
In this particular case, Princeton Review had to pay $52,000 for its continued use of copyrighted SAT test questions and agree to a license agreement. That’s after the defendant allegedly spent $600k in attorneys fees. In addition, it’s founder, Mr. Katzman is banned from testing sites for 2 years since he allegedly took tests only with the intent to copy them and use them in his own buiness.
Another interesting case is Castle Rock Entertainment Inc. v. Carol Publishing Group, 150 F.3d 132 (2nd Cir. 1998), was a U.S. copyright infringement case involving the popular American sitcom Seinfeld. Some U.S. copyright law courses use the case to illustrate modern application of the fair use doctrine. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld a lower court’s summary judgment that the defendant had committed copyright infringement. The decision is noteworthy for classifying Seinfeld trivia not as unprotected facts, but as protectable expression. The court also rejected the defendant’s fair use defense finding that any transformative purpose possessed in the derivative work was “slight to non-existent” under the Supreme Court ruling in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., 510 U.S. 569 (1994). (from Wiki article)
From Law360: a college test company in Texas had to pay the SAT people $1 million to settle an infringement suit.
http://www.law360.com/articles/54706/college-board-settles-copyright-suit-over-sat-exam
Apparently test questions are a hot bed of litigation. Just taking some of those questions with permission or a license agreement can get a company into some real hot water. So the real question is, why do these companies take such as risk? Many are online companies, but you would think they would find a online website (like mine) that explains JUST SAY NO TO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

In yet another case,
http://gerontology.usc.edu/news-resources/news/what-is-the-elder-justice-act/
The Elder Justice Act of 2010 was passed by Congress and signed into law by Pres. Obama in 2010. It provides for a wide range of programs to protect elders after it was noted that 11% of seniors over age 60 were subject to some form of abuse each year.
The National Center of Elder Abuse defines elder abuse as “any knowing, intended or careless act that causes harm or serious risk of harm to an older person – physically, mentally, emotionally, or financially.”
It is part of the Affordable Care Act and provides federal resources to “prevent, detect, treat, understand, intervene in and, where appropriate, prosecute elder abuse, neglect and exploitation.”
For more information on the Elder Justice Act, please refer to the following publications:
And he notes the erie parallels to the elder cleansing situation here:
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/americans-fight-to-expose-corruption-in-russia/
It is an excellent program explaining how government officials confiscated corporate ownership documents of Bill Browder, changed them to their own and then proceeded to take income without paying taxes. Next thing, Bill Browder and his staff are arrested, tortured and one is even murdered in a Russian jail.
Many of the instances of forging documents, hiding money, courts that don’t care and look the other way have parallels right here in the US.
Bill Browder now works in London to investigate and expose the corruption on his website.
After making his money, he has the financial resources to effectively fight, investigate and expose. There is a warrant for his arrest, death threats and fear, he continues to expose the corruption in a hopes to eliminate it.
You go, Bill Brower!
And 60 minutes, you need a few cases, we’ve got them for you.
