The Right Of Property...
The right of property is the guardian of every other right, and to deprive the people of this, is in fact to deprive them of their liberty."

--Reverend Anthony Nardella, attorney
Zimmerman, Kiser, and Sutcliffe Orlando, Florida When Reverend Nardella petitions Judge John D. Galluzzo for attorneys' fees, Reverend Nardella always states on his petitions that the attorney's fees should be granted to "benefit the 'ward.'" My mother, Louise A. Falvo, a mentally capacitated person, died 2 1/2 months after this guardianship was commenced. *Mr. Nardella stated "I earned that money" when he took my deposition (and charged my dead mother's estate for the taking of my deposition). |
"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves, in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850), French economist
"If once [the people] become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions." Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), 3rd US President
“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”
(George Orwell)
"I feel that crime has taken us from “normal” business of Caveat Emptor [buyer beware] to survival of the fittest. If I were king, I would focus on political and corporate criminals, which are running amok. The few we catch make no dent or mar the surface of the storm below. The storm is not brewing, or "in the making,” it is a horrible churning cauldron of bad people who have learned how to work the system, and they play it like a fiddle." Trader Ed
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act,” George Orwell
--------------------------------------
Democracy isn't about talking pretty or playing paddy cakes all day , it is about telling the truth and the truth is sometimes ugly, often times people do not want to hear it, but we are going to tell it here and we are going to expose the people that feel that can profit from the misery of others and operate in the darkness with inmunity.
The war against elder abuse is going to be fought with tears and suffering also with facts, statistics and truth and we are going to fight it one battle at a time and we are are not going to be intimidated into silence.
"It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped."
-Hubert H. Humphrey (1911 - 1978)
In Germany, they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me—and by that time no one was left to speak up.”—Pastor Martin Niemoller, 1945
"A man who never graduated from school might steal from a freight car. But a man who attends college and graduates as a lawyer might steal the whole railroad."
-Theodore Roosevelt
" I don't understand however is how good people can just continue to stand by and do nothing while these acts continue on a regular basis."Sherrie Moser

By the time I returned to hospice, late afternoon on Friday, it was obvious my father had taken a, definite, turn for the worse. He is losing his ability to, even, take fluids, without aspirating. It is clear that the intake by mouth was not going to last long. At this point, my father has suffered, so much, that, even if the judge had allowed the feeding tube, it is not clear how my father would have done. He has not had anymore events, of pulmonary edema, since June 20th. It appears that the turn for the worse took place, with the move to hospice. It would, also, have been life-affirming had my father not been in a state of limbo, for over a week, waiting for an expedited court hearing. He should have, at least, had the chance for physical therapy, instead of just waiting. There are too many, unanswered or unanswerable, questions, at this point. The bottom line, now, is that he is dying. Although Dad had been sedated, during the several days, before I returned , he was consoled, again, with my presence. Since my return on Friday, the nurses had not sedated him. One documented that my presence was a comfort. Others realized that some of what they called "agitation" was his effort to communicate. Family is, very, valuable for interpretation; yet, another reason why decisions should be made by loving family members.
It is, now, Sunday morning, just after 4AM, and my father has been given a small dose of sedative. However, NOW, it is on his terms. At 3:30 I heard him crying out in pain. I asked if he wanted some medicine, for the pain. I asked this, several times. Each time he shook his head, 'Yes". After he was checked for other possible sources of discomfort the sedative was given and he is resting, again. I have been able to give him hugs and he has thanked me, for my comfort, by taking my hand to his lips and kissing my hand. At least, I know, in this, I am doing my best to comfort him and, also, to provide him the dignity of his requests. Although he confirmed, two weeks, ago, that he wanted a feeding tube, that right was denied. Only God knows, if that would have made a difference. For now, I can, only, provide comfort and be thankful that I can be with him, during this time. Thank you, Friends, for following my updates.

Barbara I have been moved to tears, but a good cry is good for the heart, for you to consider us your family to share such a special experience with us , not withstanding brought flashback of sharing my father's last moments on earth, an event that the State, DCF,Guardianships Courts, and others , tried Oh, so hard to prevent and made us spend so, so much money in attoneys fees, in order to be able to remain by my father's side up until his death.... having said that .. the Bible in Ecclesiastes says "The moment of ones death is more important than one birth." I would not have traded my father's last days on earth for all the hundreds of thousands I had to pay in legal ransom to be able to do so... it was easily worth every penny and I would do it all over again....
John goes on to relate how Jesus raised Lazarus from death to life (John 11:12-45). In the Bible, death is often referred to as sleep—a total lack of consciousness (Psalm 13:3; Ecclesiastes 9:5). The beautiful metaphor of sleep emphasizes the fact that the first death is temporary and that everyone who dies will be awakened!This understanding of death is much more comforting than all the biblical and erroneous ideas about death.
1 Corinthians 15:22, 26
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive…
The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
God created us with a kind of instinct for self-preservation, and the Bible portrays death as our enemy. But after the return of Christ, "death [will be] swallowed up in victory" (1 Corinthians 15:54).
A person who is close to God can, in one sense, look forward to death, as Paul did (Philippians 1:21-24). But what he or she is really looking forward to is not death itself, but waking up with a new spirit body in God's Kingdom!
Woe to you teachers of the law, you hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Matthew 23:27
"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."….. FREDERIC BASTIAT
"As far as "passion" is concerned, most of these people don't witness it, because I have kept a low profile, from most of them, so, that is a misinterpretation. However, if a person isn't "passionate" about being prevented from spending normal family time, with their own, elderly, parents, something is horrifically, wrong. If other people told lies, against you, for the purpose of exploiting your parents, and denied you normal access to them, don't you think you would feel passionate? I would, certainly, hope so. If you don't understand that this is happening to upstanding citizens, i.e. productive members of society with no criminal records, then, the issues are not being understood." Barbara Morris
Studies estimate that 50% of elderly American are victims of financial exploitation while only 4% to 15% case are ever reported. Financial swindles are one of the fastest growing forms of abuse of the elderly according to NCEA.
We owe it to AMERICA'S GREATEST GENERATION – OUR SENIOR CITIZENS to protect them from those who are determined to steal their assets and dignity.
An example of fraud is the situation where one influences a testator that another relative has stirred up trouble....statements.
Financial exploitation should be considered if the patient has suddenly transferred assets to a family member.
