Death by DNR and Ginger Lott in Texas

 

From Sherry Johnston and my mother Willie Jo Mills under a forced guardianship was forced to die by the hand of Ginger Lott with the stamp of approval by:

Judge Harris County Christine Butts,

Associate Judge Clarinda Comstock, and assistance from:

Court Appointed Guardian Ginger Lott and

Court Coordinator Sherry Fox and

Attorney Howard Reiner

Attorney Louis Ditta

Attorney Jason Ostrom

The governor has said the abusing the elderly in Texas will not be tolerated, but he excluded probate judges and attorneys and their service providers who abused and murdered the ward when the money ran out so that Medicare would not have to pay for her care.

I believe that the State of Texas intentional euthanizes their elderly.

I believe that the State employees are allowed access to spy on your checking account and other records to force the elderly in to guardianships which drain the family of everything that they own.

They terminate the ward in hospice to get the ward off of medicare expense.

That the ward is monitored by the Texas attorney general’s office, and that probate attorneys, vendors, judges and others are all immune from claims of elder abuse.

There are no minimum standards the elderly and wards can be neglected and abused with impunity.

In the case of Mrs. Mills, the ward, she was allegedly provided with dangerous, life threatening drugs (chemical restraints), she was bruised, dehydrated, suffered from malnutrition because the above miscreants did not care, are granted immunity, and failed to provide any minimum standard of care because they allege that she signed a DNR (Do Not Resusciate) while in her home in 2006.  The withholding of care would only commence years later.

However, from Wiki:

Do not resuscitate (DNR), or no code, is a legal order written either in the hospital or on a legal form to withhold cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), in respect of the wishes of a patient in case their heart were to stop or they were to stop breathing. “No code” is a reference to the use of “code” as jargon for “calling in a Code Blue” to alert a hospital’s resuscitation team. The DNR request is usually made by the patient or health care power of attorney and allows the medical teams taking care of them to respect their wishes. In the health care community, allow natural death (AND), is a term that is quickly gaining favor as it focuses on what is being done, not what is being avoided.[citation needed] Some criticize the term “do not resuscitate” because it sounds as if something important is being withheld, while research shows that only about 5% of patients who require CPR outside the hospital and only 15% of patients who require CPR while in the hospital survive.[1][2] Patients who are elderly, are living in nursing homes, have multiple medical problems, or who have advanced cancer are much less likely to survive.[3]

A DNR does not affect any treatment other than that which would require intubation or CPR. Patients who are DNR can continue to get chemotherapy, antibiotics, dialysis, or any other appropriate treatments.

In the above case, each of the miscreants said that due to the DNR, the ward did not have to be provided with any standards of minimum care, which is a blatantly false and misleading assertion, which, if repeated, led directly to the abusive treatment resulting in the death of the ward, Mrs. Willie Jo Mills.

The photos and medical records shown in this video are nothing less than shocking as a vibrant elderly woman was placed in an abusive nursing home, provided with abusive care, which led to her death when the money ran out.  Hundreds of thousands of dollars in her estate went to pay court appointed vendors (professional guardians) and probate attorneys

Those photos alone should lead to a direct investigation and indictment of all the miscreants listed above who cause severe and tortuous abuse of this elderly ward.

Nursing home abuse affects all of us.  We all have grandparents and parents at risk and disabled adults in our families at one time or another.  It is only those with the nadir of morality that allow these most vulnerable adults to be abused in a nursing home.

These are the type of cases where when an attorney and the probate court is involved, you can be sure the judge, the court appointed and tied in attorneys and the Illinois ARDC will be certain to cover up.

Subject: Re: THESE LAWLESS NEW YORK JUDGES ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. WILL THEY BECOME FEDERAL JUDGES?

With the retirement of Judge George Leighton Illinois suffered a serious loss.  Probably our best lawyer, smartest judge, and a lone voice of integrity was gone forever.    Corrupt public officials and corrupt judicial officials danced in the streets with joy – an era was over.
Mr. Ferran – it appears that you are overqualified to be a lawyer.    Engineer and Lawyer!     Are you aware that so many lawyers being groomed to be judges barely read and write!     Many on the bench – especially in the probate division have one skill – they can use a rubber stamp and when a clout heavy fixer enters the court room the jurist (who when asked if he/she ever takes bribes say no) shows the proper respect planting a kiss on the posterior of the lawyer.
Words that connote honesty, integrity, and/or fidelity are unethical and can cause an ordinary lawyer to be sanctioned or suspended.    Quoting the law is punishable by contempt!      Understanding the law is not in the best traditions of the Illinois bar as it set today.
Thus, what difference who is placed on the bench.     Take a look at the fisaco that occurred in the Col Smith case down in Florida.    A judge actually appointed a plenary guardian in preference to the wife.   When she complained the guardian sought to annul the marriage on the grounds that she did not get along with him (the guardian).
In the Helen Stone case, she became too much trouble so they put Ms. Stone on a feeding tube.    When her daughter Barbara came to visit Ms. Stone pleaded for food.   Like a good daughter Barbara had the tube removed and took her mother to lunch.   The facade was exposed and they arrest Barbara for exposing their crime. They charged her (incredibly) with interferring with the custody of a disabled person!  This was not Barbara’s first arrest.  The first one when when she objected to giving her mother Miralax, a drug contraindicated for the eldery, with a Black Box warning on it!
In the Alice Gore case (Illinois) the 99 year old lady was placed in a nursing home so that the GAL could get a referral fee.     To do this they had to dig up a relative who was herself declared disabled and make her the guardian in preference to the successful members of the family including a daughter who has weekly television program.     After they managed to convert 1.5 million in assets to zero the greed bastards prospected Alice’s mouth for gold.   They found some and harvested it.     (They did not inventory it).    With no more assets to harvest – Alice died of dehydration and starvation.   The family had to find out for itself.
In the Wyman case, the husband decided that a guardianship was preferable to a divorce.   With the right lawyer he became the guardian and placed her in (the worst Illinois) nursing home to be raped repeatedly!    A little post guardianship induced mental stress works wonders.    Her sons try to intervene, and they are slapped with a Protective Order.  Mom Wyman manages to escape, is near death down 2 pints of blood, and the probate atttorneys lien the family home for tens of thousands of dollars.  When Mrs. Denison argued to the court this was a Fraud on the Court and the liens must be removed, the court ignored her.
The Sykes case is even more obnoxious in that Mary discovered that her oldest daughter had stolen money from her bank account.   She protested, received some threats and asked the Court for an order of protection.    The miscreant daughter hired an attorney and she became Mary’s guardian with complete power to loot the estate.   She did!  Then the home was liquidated for 20 cents on the dollar quickly.
There are thousands of these cases and they all have one thing in common  besides corrupt judges, corrupt lawyers, corrupt public officials *** – law enforcement is playing hear no evil, see no evil, do plenty of evil by inaction.   Even the IRS has been silent and has been letting these elder cleansing cases to be untaxed.
Mark – it is interesting just how many lawyers, judges, public officials et al are treating these cases with benign neglect.     Thus, you and your kind present a serious concern to the miscreants of all shapes and sizes.   Being qualified to practice law you might develop the tendency to believe all that stuff in the Constitution, in the Americans with Disabilities Act, in the Federal and State Statutes, in the Bill of rights etc.     Thus, you have the potential to upset the applecart!
Worse yet, you might call for an HONEST investigation ****.  If that happens, then Jerome Larkin, administrator of the Ill. ARDC and his minions (Opryszek, Smart, Splitt, Black Guiterrez) will come after the honest attorneys with a vengeance and another pack of lies they present before a Triumvirate Board they declare to be justice,  when in fact, it’s the furthest thing from Truth or Justice.

Department of Justice Report on Elder Absue and Exploitation

From Nancy Vallone, an important document to read.  It’s quite sad because it documents widespread elder abuse in the nation, with little action being taken.

Report by US Dept. of Justice concerning Elder Abuse

It’s pretty much an eye opener on the status of the disabled and in particular seniors in the US.  With 56% of them owning their own homes, there seems to be a ready post for the nefarious.

Better News from the Michigan Adovocacy Project–Dr. C is Freed from an abusive guardianship!

Better News from the Michigan Adovocacy Project–Dr. C is Freed from an abusive guardianship!

But don’t get too excited, I understand the ward came in for a 6 month report, and it was pre-arranged to terminate the guardianship. Further, the ward asked for, and was given his own attorney who could negotiate a deal.  Mary has several written notes that she wants a private attorney and to go home, but all those have been ignored by Judges Stuart and Connors.  At one time, GAL Farenga was concerned about jurisdiction, (I have the fax page), but no longer.  She won’t join in the other daughter’s petition to dismiss the guardianship for lack of jurisdiction.

Still no reports of a guardianship terminated on the facts, with the GAL objecting not because the ward was competent and could handle her own affairs OR because the guardianship did not meet notice/due process standards–we are all waiting for a brave attorney to do that case.  Also ripe for a case is a class action wherein all probate court records will be checked for notice to relatives in Illinois and guardianships revoked and attys fees refunded!  I’m waiting for that one.

When the Court’s function properly the rights of senior citizens are protected; however, there are too many cases – such as Sykes, Gore, Tyler, Wyman et al in Illinois – in which the exploitation of the elderly is obvious and no one is interested in even investigating the outrageous conduct that is the hallmark of the protest.    How can an abusive estranged husband be appointed as a guardian of his wife (Wyman)?   How can a mentally ill grandchild – herself lacking competency – be appointed as a guardian (Gore)?   How can a daughter who the alleged incompetent is seeking an order of protection be appointed plenary guardian (Sykes)?    How can a a common thread of large sums of money not being part of the inventory be ignored?

In Illinois we have a comprehensive legislative procedure to protect the elderly from miscreants using the courts to separate a senior from his/her liberty, property, civil rights and human rights.   As illustrated by Sykes the entire procedure was and three years later is ignored.  Indeed, it is unethical (according the ARDC) to complain.    [This letter may generate another ARDC complaint against me even though it is clearly protected by the First Amendment to the United STates Constitution).

What we ‘seniors’ need is for an honest, complete, and comprehensive investigation of this guardianship situation and if it is determined that guardianship is a ruse to under color of statute for miscreants to deprive seniors of their liberty, their property, civil rights and human rights as I am many others have charged the miscreants should suffer the full weight of the law.
I use the word we as it occurred to me that I am a year older than Dr. C.   I use the word we because it appears if the procedure that was followed in the Sykes case is the rule rather than the exception, watch out Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama – there are at least two doctors who have a reputation of finding everyone that they examine incompetent!   Read the August 2009 and August 2010 transcript and the Judge clearly illustrates how we treat these serious cases.

In Re the Estate of

Mary G. Sykes,
An Alleged Disabled

No.: 09 P 4585

MOTION TO SHOW CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT BE ENTERED FOR PERJURY AGAINST PETER SCHMEIDEL AND ADAM STERN
NOW COMES Gloria J. Sykes, daughter and interested party in the above proceeding and respondent to a Motion for a Petition to Partition in the above proceeding, (“Gloria”) as it relates to the above Guardianship Estate of  Mary G. Sykes (“Mary”) filing this motion pro se,  and respectfully moves this honorable court to Show Cause why these two attorneys should not be sanctioned for making false, and blatantly misleading statements to the court, namely: 1) that Gloria’s Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction (Soldini) was heard and denied by the court numerous times; and 2) Gloria’s Witnesses and Testimony to be heard in relation to her Probate Proceeding have been stricken by prior order of court when in fact they have not.
The facts relating to this motion are as follows:

FACTS:

1.    On August 16, 2012, between 2:00 pm and 4:30 pm, a hearing was to be held concerning invalidating the apportionment of property held jointly between Mary and Gloria located at 6014 N. Avondale Ave. in Chicago, Illinois.  While the entire family agrees (except for the Plenary Guardian) that this house fully and rightfully belongs to Gloria, and Mary’s name was added as a testamentary convenience, the plenary guardian, Carolyn Toerpe, has filed, and this court has wrongfully entertained a Motion for Partition AND a Motion to invalidate an apportionment agreement dating back to August 2008 and embodied in a court order.
2.    The time to attack a judgement and a court order is two (2) years as set forth in § 1401 of the Illinois Probate Code.
3.    In August of 2010 during a hearing, Judge Connors said she did not have to follow Illinois procedure and she could invalidate another courts’ judgements–referring to this court order.  Judge Connors said she did not have to follow § 1401 of the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure relating to the attack upon a judgment.
4.    Dr. Shaw, accordingly, was called to testify on August 16, 2012 as a continuing witness in these matters.  Gloria was to cross examine his testimony–which she did.
5.    Prior to the testimony of Dr. Shaw, Gloria brought an Emergency Motion to Dismiss the above proceeding for lack of jurisdiction under the Sodini case.
6.    The court heard argument, first asking Adam Stern, Guardian ad Litem as to his comments on the motion and he replied that the court had heard this matter “numerous times” and denied any lack of jurisdiction “numerous times.”
7.    Then court then asked Peter Schmeidel, attorney for the Plenary Guardian as to his comment on the motion, and he agreed with Attorney Stern that not only had the court heard this matter “numerous times” and denied any lack of jurisdiction “numerous time” BUT he even argued it on appeal and it was denied by the appellate court.
8.    Gloria repeatedly tried to make her argument that both were lying, there are no court orders that any Motions to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction were heard or were ever denied, that her appeal was dismissed not on the grounds, but for brief formatting errors (section 341 compliance)–but the court cut her off quickly each time telling her to shush up and “not speak”.
9.    During this same proceeding before, during and after the testimony of Dr. Shaw, Peter Schmeidel made continuing comments that “Gloria was barred by court order to present her witnesses and testimony” when in fact that was not true.
10.    Gloria’s attorney friend, JoAnne Denison (Attorney Denison), then went downstairs to the Probate Files records office and requested and obtained copies of all court orders dating from January of 2011 to present, paid $21.75, obtained a receipt, and handed it to Gloria who then presented it to the court, challenging Peter Schmeidel AND GAL Adam Stern to find copies of the court orders they asserted to the court existed regarding striking Gloria’s witnesses and exhibits and the numerous denials of Motions to Dismiss based upon lack of Jurisdiction (Sodini notices) .
11.    Attorney Denison in the hall outside the court, again challenged the two and both refused her challenge to find the court orders Schmeidel and Stern told the court existed.  Atty Stern claimed he would find the order barring Gloria’s witnesses and testimony.  Atty Denison warned him it wasn’t in the imaging official records and he had better not mock something up or she will figure it out.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully submitted that both GAL Adam Stern and Attorney Peter Schmeidel be brought before this honorable court and be sanctioned for blatantly and unrepentantly making false, misleading and completely untruthful statements to this honorable court, thereby severely prejudicing and obstructing justice in the above proceeding as it relates to Ms. Gloria Sykes.
Ms. Sykes also respectfully requests that a hearing be promptly set on her Motion to Dismiss/NonSuit for lack of Jurisdiction because no Soldini notices were ever served upon Mary’s elderly sisters, Josephine and Yolanda and that GAL Stern be directed to subpoena Josephine to court because she is currently afraid if she “takes the wrong side” like Yolanda, Gloria and numerous other family members the GAL’s will not let her see Mary again.

The pack of Orders obtained together with the time stamped receipt are attached hereto as exhibit A.

Because it is believed that Adam Stern, Cynthia Farenga and Carolyn Toerpe’s attorneys have interferred with the production of transcripts in the above case (someone is doing this, because they simply cannot be ordered and transcribed to date), a bystander’s report as to the above is attached hereto witnesses by Attorney Denison, Ms. Gloria Sykes and Mr. Scott Evans in support of this motion.

It is further noted that approximately 80% of the court’s file is missing, including 13 large volumes of appellate record which were sent back to the trial court in March 2012.  It is respectfully requested that an order be issued requiring all attorneys (including Ms. Denison and Mr. Ditkowsky) meet with their files and records and the entire file be reconstructed and then imaged by Files Department).  Much injustice is being done in this case because the file has been professional “cleansed.”  While the miscreants say it is Gloria, the reality is, Gloria is helping with a blog located at http://www.marygsykes.com where all transcripts and records are published. So if Gloria is helping and participating there and this blog is publishing the pleadings, transcripts and orders, it makes no sense to accuse her.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,

And note that while in about July 2012 it says Gloria’s witnesses and exhibits are barred, there was no prior court order to that effect.  I was there in July and PS was lying when he put that in that order too!  Gloria tried to tell the court that, but she again was sushed up and told “not to speak”

 

Lumbermen’s vs Gloria Sykes: exparte orders (not on file) and Peter Schmiedel’s threats and lawlessness

From Gloria:

I can’t help but feel that God is watching us from above every time we sit on the toilet.  I also beleive that God watches sporting events, occasionally guiding tennis balls to the edges of lines and baseballs out of the arenas:  God watches used car sale’s people sell damaged goods and our Political Leaders *****.  He sees, with much angst, people like attorneys Peter Schmiedel, Adam Stern, and Cynthia Farenga, who believe they’re entitled, to LIE, cheat and steal from the elderly and disabled, or anybody they damn well want to steal from!  God knows when people are dishonest and corrupt, and like Santa, He knows which people are good and when they’re bad.  In fact, I think that all people live ‘under’ God, like a deity peering down on us like the store  manager of Whole Foods atop the customer service desk.  I also beleive that most people are ethical to a certain extent: some people make more ethical decisions than others, I think, because most people make decisions based on what he or she feels is right.  That said, if in fact the society i which we presently live has redefined ethics i such a way as to separate it from morality, there’s no doubt in my mind that it therefore makes the importance of morality ad moral behavior in our lives and in society must less important than when ethics and morality were linked.  We have substituted one of the other — or both — for power and money — and therefore, many people are unhappy people.   In my lifetime, I’ve met many unhappy people, but none so obviously unhappy than Peter Schmiedel, Adam Stern, Cynthia Farenga and their client Carolyn Toerpe.  The last time in court I paid particular attention to their faces, their body language, and wasn’t surprised to detect a full range of deceit oozing from each one:  Peter Schmiedel backed off from Dr. Shaw, his arms hardened and crossed tight across his chest, biting his lower lip, noting not even Peter Schmiedel believed what he was saying!  Cynthia Faregna, her face twisted, snarled, always with lifted brow and tightened jaw.  Adam Stern, he like Carolyn Toerpe, sit without expression, pretending to be in control, but their micro expressions are still obvious.  Toerpe’s shoulder twitches forward, her lips turned downward, her glassy stare at nothing: Adam Stern, also stares at nothing, his mouth buttoned  tight, Call these people what you like, but they’re unhappy people who create illusions of grander to feel accepted and when on the verge of exposure, like wild animals in a cage, they attack with no though or concern for what is wright or wrong, just because they can. 

On the 29th day of September, and 2nd day of October 2008, four attorneys, Finn and McInerney on behalf of Lumbermens’ the Plaintiff, and Salam and Moskowitz, on behalf of me, the defendant, had pre trial chats wtih Judge Mulhern in the Lumbermen’s case.  I paid close to $1000 for the transcripts.  On pafe 53 Salam discuses ‘secondary property damages’ …””*** to the jury would be teh cost to fix the house, the loss of the use of the house, the cost ot fix and replace the personal property, the loss and use of the personal property, and your typical damages related to that… expenses she incurred related to, you know ****”  She is Gloria Jean Sykes, me, and the home damaged needed to be fixed up in 6016, where I lived, I had the only insurance policy and I was the true owner (who was talked into putting mom on for joint tenancy for survivorship by an attorney claiming that should something happen to me, Carolyn Toerpe can’t bring it into the Probate Court and stake a claim.)  My mother “Mary” is only discussed twice during the many hours of pre trial discussions.  Page 71/line 15 – 24/ PAGE 72 LINES

MR. SALAM: We agree to the extent we’re not claiming physical injury apart from emotional distress under the intentional inflicton of emotional distress claim, so…

THE COURT:  Does that satisfy you, Mr. Finn?

MR. FINN:  Right. But then Mary Sykes is not — she doesn’t have an intentional —

MR. SALAM:  No. she does not.

THE COURT:  NO.  She’s on there only because she’s a title holder.

MR. SALAM:  Yes exactly.

THE COURT:  All right. So this is granted.

Mary G. Sykes is considered only a ‘title holder’ who filed no claims and had no insurance on the property — or lived in the property.  Yes, Judge Mulhern also understood that Mary Sykes was just a title holder and a title holder is not necessarily  the actually owner, and this is how the system works, except in the Sykes case, where PS, AS, CF create illusions in order to mask the truth that they would cheat Mother Terressa out of every penny she raised to help the unfortunate if in fact, the attorneys were looking to get paid!  But now I’m a head of myself.  In the about 250 pages of transcripts in three columns, my mother Mary is only mentioned once!  Once!  I seem to recall that there is a transcript where Finn asks the court if Mary Sykes has filed any damages, and Judge Mulhern says, “No.***” but those transcripts are now in the possession of Carolyn Toerpe.

I’ve asked CF, AS, and PS for a copy of the claim my mother filed or proof she had insurance on the property … but they can’t seem to find any documentation, just like they can’t find proof that Aunts Yo or Jo or I were served and Sodini requirements met.  What is also interesting, that I have the original Lumbermen’s lawsuit in front of me and no where in that suit is Mary Sykes mentioned:  in my counter-complaint, I am the only Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff, and in the Motion for Summary Judgement, again, at all times the heading to the breif reads, GLORIA SYKES, Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff.

But sine Adam STern, Cynthia Farenga and Peter Schmiedel barred me from bringing in any witnesses or presenting any evidence, and they also waived my attorney / client confidentiality with attorney Kevin Salam (yep, first question by Peter Schmiedel was answered by Salam who reported to the court that “Gloria Sykes didn’t want her mother to get any of the settlement funds”.   Of course, in cross, Salam backed off and corrected his statement that he could not answer the question because of attorney client privileged/confidentiality. What is interesting, attorney Peter Schmiede summoned attorney Kevin Salam for the sole purpose to have him give testimony that would give the appearance t hat I financially exploited my mother and swindled her out of the settlement money.  That means, that attorneys Kevin Salam and Moskowitz, Finn and McInerney, and Judge Mulhern were in on the financial exploitation.  Kevin Salam was appropriated $250,000:  Gene Moskowitz was appropriated $250,000.  Legal Funds were appropriated about $100,000.  Expert witnesses were paid from the settlement funds as was Purofirst.  But AS, CF, PS and CT, however, are only going after me!  Hell, Judge Mary Mulhern was in on the scam, too!

So to answer the question how much longer can the fiasco continue, as long as law enforcement, the States Attorneys Office and the Court allows attorneys Peter Schmiedel, Cynthia Farenga, and Adam STern to LIE to the court, and Carolyn Toerpe to hold my mother hostage, isolate her, drug her and not comply with court orders to turn over my mtoher’s bank statements from 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, this will go on forever.

And my mother suffers because she’s been denied access to the courts and silenced.

Yep God is watching all of us and there will be a judgment day.  I pray my mother survives this guardianship holocaust so she and I can travel the States and speak to any person who will listen that what has happened in the Sykes case can happen to any person .. as long as there are unethical, mean-spirited, lying attorneys like Adam Stern, Peter Schmiedel, and Cynthia Farenga living free lives and an ARDC that doesn’t care about the truth or the lives of innocents like my mother Mary G. Sykes.

I know that attorneys Gene Moskowitz and Kevin Salam know the truth, too.

Comments from Ken:

The spanish proverb comes to mind – a mouse would rather be in the mouth of the cat than in the hands of a lawyer –
What has happened in the Sykes case is tragic, but consistent with the greylord scandal and Illinois’ new tradition of governors going from the State house to the big house.    Only  a hypocrite can defend the fact that Mary Sykes is being held in isolation by Stern, Farenga, Troepe and Schmiedel illegally.    It is illegal because these National socialists did not give the jurisdictional notices that were required.   The August 31 transcript words and phrases of the judge are an indictment of the judge and indicative of a very sorry state of affairs.  The Sodini case points out that the Circuit Court has (had) no jurisdiction!   Thus, the covering court orders are void and *****.
Whether the ‘good lord’ judges the miscreants in this drama or not it is apparent that if America is to survive it has to honor its basic principles – liberty, freedom, and fraternity.   The specter of the First Amendment being trashed is a pure horror only topped by the fact that Mary Sykes and others like her are now routinely deprived of their liberty, property, human and civil rights while law enforcement and particularly the legal profession fiddles and defends the miscreants.
Peter Schmiedel, Cynthia Farenga, Adam Stern deserve to be ‘unhappy!’   When Law enforcement finally gets around to doing an honest, complete and comprehensive investigation they will have to face ‘man’s justice!’    All who aid and abet them will also attone for their part in the gulag.   The good lord has a much more unhappy solution which in my fifty years of practice I watched.   It is summed up in the phrase “what comes around, goes around!”   Some of your friends will witness one or more of the miscreants enjoy the loving care that is bestowed by Peter Schmiedel Jr. on Peter Schmiedel Sr as he separates Sr from his friends, his family, and systematically deprives him or his liberty, property, and human rights.  (Schmiedel, Farenga and Stern have taught their children well and rest assurred each will enjoy ****
Right now we need that investigation!

Re: JoAnne M. Denison ,  In relation to Cynthia Farenga’s Complaint AND
Kenneth Ditkowsky, the Sykes Probate matter 09 P 4585
PLUS my request to open an investigation against Cynthia Farenga, Peter Schmeidel, Adam Stern, Harvey Waller
Request for subpoenas!

Dear Ms. Black;

Without waiving my representation by Mr. Ditkowsky, who is aware of this communication, attached are two declarations for signature by the adult sisters of Mary G Sykes, namely, Ms. Josephine DiPietro and Ms. Yolanda Baaken.

Their addresses are as follows:

Ms. Josephine DePietro
222 Park Avenue
Bloomingdale, Illinois 60108

Yolanda M. Bakken
1600 N. 39th Avenue
Stone Park, IL

I would appreciate your transmitting these to these ladies to inquire if the declarations are in fact true, and they were never formally noticed by the Petitioner in the above Probate matter as to the Dec 7, 2009 Petition for Guaradianship of Mary G Sykes which was filed by Carolyn Toerpe.  This would make the entire matter–the freezing of Gloria’s $272,000, her subsequent eviction, the partition action filed against her home, her continued harrassment by the miscreants–void ab initio.

Thank you for your continued attention and investigation of the above matter.

This important communication was also posted on my blog at http://www.marygsykes.com, and http://www.marygsykes.blogspot.com, so if you lose it, it will be available there.  Also, if you do not want to retype it, today’s post provides a convenient link so you can just download a Word file to change as you please or just print out..

PS–this is also being sent to you as part of my (our) continuing duty to report serious and flagrant violations of the rules of ethics and relevant state and federal laws to the ARDC.

PPS–I am told by a little bird that Josephine thinks “being allowed” to visit her sister once every two months and a phone call once or twice per month is okay because neither Yolanda or her daughter Kathy Bakken–family members once very, very close to Mary G Sykes–were told they “took the wrong side” in the dispute and therefore they are not allowed to see Mary.  I find such conduct of an officer of the court deplorable, but ****.  So you might make Josephine aware it is part of her civic duty to step forward and tell the truth–the court has no jurisdiction and Mary is able to go free and go back and live in her own home if she wants.  And, no a Guardian ad Litem is not supposed to “take sides”, but report fairly and honestly.  Mary G’s sisters used to phone each other all the time.  Gloria held parties for her all the time.  Now CT keeps her in near total isolation with just handful of visits/phone calls.  I am told at a favorite niece’s wedding, the sister’s family table was only about 5 relatives when that side of the family used to have dozens of extended family members visiting Mary (see the Christmas tape links on Vimeo – the links are on the home page of http://www.marygsykes.com.

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

Dear Readers;
One of the issues I have been struggling with is that the [agency] complaints against Ken and myself for simply running a blog about the Sykes case.  I just can’t figure that one out.
It’s clearly a blog, it’s clear neither Ken nor I represent Gloria or Mary, we’re just concerned.  I also have known Gloria, Carolyn, Fred, Mary G, Scott, Doris and other friends and family for years.  I don’t get that.  Ken was the family attorney, so why is Ken accused of lying about all of this?  If anyone should know about $1 million in gold coins and cash in the mattress, Ken would know.  I also checked directly with the friends and family and the gold coins and cash are well known.  No one is amused by the cash grab by the miscreants.  All the family–with the exception of the miscrants–agrees that Gloria was doing a great and loving job of taking care of her mother for 10+ years.
There’s little to dispute in this case–outside of the 18th floor, where the case suddenly enters the Twilight Zone with time, space and perception being dramatically warped into something bizarre, twisted and unreal.  And out of that twisted, warped court room media has flowed a story that is strangely not investigated at all by the [agency] prior to filing a public complaint against Ken Ditkowsky.
So here is his most interesting explanation below.
take care all,
JoAnne Denison
Now from Ken Ditkowsky:
My theory on why the [agency] complaints against us prosper is that fact that there is a great deal of money involved.   The value of the commodity goes down if there is a risk of disbarment.   Lets take an example.   A [entity] for being deaf and dumb and running cover for the [entity] is promised a fee of $100,000.00.   this 100,000 can be paid part in taxable currency (check and/or court award and part in under the table funds – or all in under the table funds) The under the table funds can be a discount on a vehicle, discount on real estate, some fungible, gold coins etc.
A referral fee of 1/3 is paid to the sponsor.   In Sykes [it may be] believe it is a political person who is receiving ‘nursing home dollars.’    In that case it would be a campaign contribution.   (Gloria unearth a bunch of campaign contributions to the person she suspects as being the ‘clout!’ – she has come to her conclusions from a different angle and would probably resist my analysis.)
If the political person receives campaign contributions he/she incurs no taxable income until she/he elects to pay the taxes on the funds.    As no one knows that our [entity] has received dollar one he is not going to tell anyone.   He has a windfall.    All that happens is the disabled person’s estate is reduced and no one is the wiser.
In the Sykes case about a million dollars is not inventoried.   Shut you up, me up, Gloria up and no one has to pay dollar one in Federal Income Taxes!    Let us go one step further.   Why do the [entities] fear an investigation.  A trained investigator is going to ask questions.   Questions lead to answers.   Answers lead to more questions and in the investigator is independent someone is going to have to account for about a million dollars of inventoried treasure trove.
The [entities] for the plenary guardian have filed numerous complaints with the [agency] concerning you and me.    Ask yourself why?   Ask yourself if the regulators are ‘pure!’    The GSA scandal of recent days should give a clue to the right answer!    Also ask yourself why my ‘safe harbour’ (settlement) e-mails were taken out of context and are the basis of the [entity] complaint against me filed by the [entity].   Why is unethical for me to offer the [entity] a release from the Civil Rights claim that I have against them in exchange for them just doing their jobs?   As you know I wrote the [entities] and suggested that if they had nothing to hide join and ask for an independent investigation!   We have a better chance of having the President appointing either one or us  Secretary of State
Of course the [entities], et al all might be pure, sweet and a virgin.   It might just be a coincidence that the [entity] complaints against us are given credence even in the face of massive evidence to the contrary and the complaints against the [entities] for the plenary guardian are just tossed!   As I said we have a right to differ and I will fight to the death to protect your right to disagree with me.
Do not fall down a rabbit hole!

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

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

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

Dear Readers;

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

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

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

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

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

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

thank you.

JoAnne Denison

From Ken Ditkowsky

Dear Gloria and JoAnne;
Sorry that you did not receive this answer, motion to dismiss, and affirmative defense that I filed in relation to the spurious complaint filed against me by the ARDC.    As you are aware I have very sensitive to any attempt by anyone that is reasonably calculated to shut me up.   What is most disturbing is the fact that in reference to the Request to admit that I served on the ARDC that required them to either admit or deny the basic facts that they claimed were in the e-mails and which were untrue, the ARDC admitted that the administrator had no information to either admit or deny the fact.   Indeed, if they have no information they cannot reasonably suggest that anything that I said.
It gets worse.   The first pleading that I filed was a motion to dismiss pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2 619.   This motion had three affidavits attached in support.   The first affidavit was Gloria’s affidavit.   The second was Scott’s affidavit.   The third was the ADA verified complaint filed in the United States District Court.   All of these affidavits confirmed the fact that every word that I wrote in the various e-mails referred to ARDC complaint filed against me was in fact true and accurate.    To my utter surprise the attorney for the ARDC worte in her response to the Motion that there were no affidavit attached in support of the Motion.    (This is the very same attorney who without my permission called my client JoAnne.  Then when I objected to such an obvious breach, instead of just saying I’m sorry it was mistake she tried to **** her way out of it)
The ARDC has published their spurious complaint against me on their website, therefore, I assume that they will also publish this answer, and thus make available to law enforcement and others the information contained therein including but not limited to discriminatory enforcement of the ethical rules in such a manner as to thwart lawyerly complaints of corruption.
As I state in my answer, Illinois has a wonderful set of laws; however, they mean nothing as no one cares to enforce them.    Thus, Mary Sykes has lost her liberty, her property, and her human rights, and Gloria Sykes who has stood strong and tall in attempting to protect her mother has been subjected to the loss of her property, her liberty, and intimidation and harassment.    It should be noted that every single lawyer who Gloria has sought help from has been ‘talked to’ by Farenga, Stern, and/or Schmiedel and they have either been turned, or frightened off except you JoAnne and yours truly.   The ARDC has received complaints against both of us, and is prosecuting me as I by complaining about the elder abuse/financial exploitation and the theft of Mary’s property am tending to bring the profession into disrepute.    Of course the people who are participating are ‘model and ethical lawyers!’
There is a humorous aspect to the ARDC complaint.    Even though I am a stranger to the Sykes litigation and have not filed an appearance for anyone and there is no way that I could profit one way or another, the complaint echos the Alice in Wonderland averment that I complain about the theft of Mary’s property and Gloria’s property to secure an advantage in the pending litigation.   Indeed, except for the possibility of falling down the rabbit hole there is no possibility for this to occur.
Please publish the Answer etc.

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

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

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

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

JoAnne

Title:

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

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

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

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

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