Letter From the Editor - Does Anyone Care?

Dear Readers:

I try not to stray to far on this blog from the topic at hand, however I recently wrote about a topic that's dear to all of us and that topic being freedom of expression.

I recently wrote a letter to my most loyal supporters that seems to have hit a nerve and I will reproduce it here for you and print some of your responses without the name to protect the identities which is something that has to be done in todays climate of fear and repression.

You in the US are no longer free to express your opinion, as an example military blogger: Blackfive writes "milblogs are facing an increasingly hostile environment " hostile environment as in 'Cuban Blogger' and Iranian Blogger' Hello! I am I the only one to see the connection here?

Blackfives continues " with milbloggers receiving reprimands, verbal and written, not only for their activities but those of spouses and supporters."

Well you might say "no reason for alarm" reprimands are not as bad as beatings , again Hello! anyone paying attention to what is happening in the US ? Does anyone care?

The catalyst has been the treatment of millblogger C.J. Grisham of A Soldier's Perspective (http://www.soldiersperspective.us/).

C.J. is having to raise funds to cover legal expenses to protect both his good name and his career.

Blogger C.J. Ultimately, was forced to sell his blog to help raise funds for his defense in this matter.

Well you might say,"Ray what does this have to do with me 'We are not military bloggers, the campaign is only directed to silence Military Bloggers'

Well again "Hello America!" Does anyone really give a damn that the Constitution and freedom of speech is rapidly becoming a moot point?

The fact that I had to leave my adopted country in order to exercise my right to free speech after having to spend thousands in attorneys fees in order to defend my right to keep my blog and ultimately had to leave to escape persecution, along with Journalist Janet Phelan and countless others is not important, but when an important segment as is military bloggers are forced to sell their blogs to a third parties that will accommodate the party line, 'Should this not be a cause for concern?

If a segment of the blogsphere is being silenced, starting with ElderAbuse and Elder Financial Abuse issues, and now military bloggers, discreetly as it might appear, how long do you think it will be before they come after you?

If you think not then continue to crow about how free you are, and continue to concentrate on how other people don't have the right to free speech while you lose yours and the carpet is being pulled put from under you and go in your merry way........

Yours Truly.

Letters To Editor - No One Cares!

Happy holidays, Ray:

The answer to your question if this: NO ONE CARES

The US has created a hostile environment for us to live in and answers to its GODS-
Business, profit, the rich, corporate greed...finally, however, some people realize it and give up
like me. I battled this for 10 years, went broke doing it, caused myself health ramifications and more

FOR WHAT?

Democracy has never been by and for the people...at least not in the last 50 years...
there are TOO MANY SECRETS, too many corporate alliances (i.e. witness healthcare debate and
the power of the insurance lobby---do you think for a MINUTE this only happens in healthcare
insurance?)

This is what happens to our seniors...they are consumed by probate judges, elder care lawyers, social and protective services. They dehumanize us and our beloved seniors for GREED.

That's the mantra of America...profits before people...and it's always been that way or at least
since the USA knew Pearl Harbor was about to happen and did nothing in hopes of fueling the rich
and powerful corporations.

Viet Nam was the same way....lots of conspiracies say that was true in Kennedy's death (RFK & JFK) and with the WTC...there's plenty of video on the net. Take a look at it.

Ray, you did right by leaving the country. America is not what we were sold...that we were the "bastion" of freedom and yet our numbers suffer because corporate freedom to put profits before people is American domestic policy.

When the will of the people is circumvented by the will of corporate America...you got it exactly right:
NO ONE CARES...everyone is now caught up in trying to survive the joblessness, inflation, the lies,
the media that shoves starlets, weight problems, Tiger's extramartial affairs, etc down our throats rather than the truth.

There is not one person that is safe in this country...this is a police state, a lawyer state, a judge state, a corporate state and you all better accept it or leave this country. Our country is an illusion...things started out idealistic but big business and other countries now own us and there
is no where to hide.

Stay out of the system if you can...trust no one, mind your own business, go into business for yourself
and rebuild the American dream in your community. That's the only way not to be a consumable here in the America we thought was for the people, by the people....we do not matter....nothing does
except how much money you represent to anyone of the bottom feeding entities including the US government and those mentioned above...

it's every man and woman for themselves...use caution with EVERYTHING.

God bless you, Ray....you did the right thing leaving this country...in a place where mental midgets say, "this is America, love it or leave it" leaving it is just plain old good common sense.

NY Courts-New York Court Corruption.

EstateofDenial.com has brought to our attention a blog called NY Courts-New York Court Corruption.

The information on this blog about the corruption in the New York Unified Court System will disgust and frighten you and propel you into a world of racketeering, greed, larceny, malicious prosecution, and outrageous disdain for due process, the Rule of Law, the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights and Professional Responsibility Standards, Rules and Statutes.

Florida Increasingly Prone to Financial Scams!

Corruption threatening U.S. “soul and fabric” Posted: 08 Dec 2009 05:14 PM PST Corruption threatens “soul and fabric” of U.S.: FBI Pascal Fletcher December 8, 2009 Source=>>Reuters BOCA RATON, Florida (Reuters) - Corruption, whether in the form of crooked officials, financial fraudsters or even philandering sports stars, is tearing at the fabric of U.S. society and is the country’s No. 1 criminal threat, a senior FBI agent said on Tuesday. Addressing businessmen in Florida, where financial fraud cases jumped by 42 percent in the last year, FBI Miami Division Special Agent in Charge John Gillies said failures in personal ethics and integrity sowed the initial poisonous seeds of corruption in a society. Gillies said transgressions by high-profile public servants and even perceived social role models, like top golfer Tiger Woods, currently embroiled in allegations that he had extramarital affairs, sent the signal to young Americans that cheating and stealing were acceptable. “Where do our children learn this? They see us, their elected officials, their sports stars, they see how they act and they figure, ‘well it’s OK,’” he said, citing the case of Woods, whose early morning car accident in Florida last month triggered a storm of media questioning of his clean-living reputation. “Money can’t buy everything,” Gillies said in a speech to the West Boca Chamber of Commerce in Boca Raton, Florida. The special agent, who manages high-profile cases in Florida, the Caribbean and Latin America, in no way suggested Woods had committed any criminal offenses. Florida police issued Woods a ticket for careless driving last week and said no criminal charges would be filed. He quickly paid the $164 fine, his lawyer said. Police also said no allegations of domestic violence were leveled. Gillies, a 27-year veteran of the FBI, called corruption in all its multiple forms, whether in law enforcement or in the judicial system, or involving tax cheats and fraudsters, “our number one criminal threat” in the United States. “It really gets at the soul and fabric of the United States when people are out there corrupting … it all starts with simple ethics violations,” Gillies said. FOLLOW THE MONEY He said public corruption investigations by the FBI were “huge” and had increased by more than 20 percent in the last five years, while financial scams — from securities and hedge fund frauds to Ponzi schemes — had jumped by more than 25 percent nationwide in the last year alone. These cases involved hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars. Florida in particular has been rocked by a number of high-profile Ponzi schemes this year, including fallout from the cases surrounding convicted Wall Street swindler Bernard Madoff and accused Texas financier Allen Stanford. Gillies’ FBI team last week arrested a flamboyant Fort Lauderdale attorney, Scott Rothstein, and charged him with bilking investors out of $1.2 billion in a Ponzi scheme that funded his luxury lifestyle and political largess. Rothstein, now disbarred, has pleaded not guilty. Asked why the “Sunshine State” of Florida appeared to be so increasingly prone to financial scams, Gillies told Reuters the concentration of money in the wealthy Southeast state was “the number one” factor. He said a high concentration of out-of-state Americans and foreigners was also a factor. In his speech, Gillies also cited the economic recession as a contributing feature, as many victims were — often blindly, often out of greed — seeking to improve returns on money and investments in hard financial times. He said offers of 15, 20, 25 percent returns in a recession should be an automatic “red flag” of possible fraud. For those frustrated by diminished earnings eroded by the crisis the FBI veteran offered the following caveat against temptation: “The worst day at work is still better than the best day in jail.” (Editing by Jim Loney and Howard Goller)

Documentary On Estate Dispute Going Forward

Estate dispute broadcast opportunity

Posted: 07 Dec 2009 11:54 AM PST

Canadian-based TV production company - CMJ PRODUCTIONS - is currently shooting a new documentary series called, `The Will´ airing on INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY. “The Will” tells the true life stories of complex and surprising disputes that have arisen surrounding a will, estate or trust.

The series is now accepting story submissions to appear on-air. They are looking for dramatic, unusual stories with numerous twists and turns, secrets and real emotion. Most importantly, all cases must have reached a final ruling or settlement in order to be considered. The company wants to interview all parties involved as well as their legal representatives. Stories from Canada, the United States or the United Kingdom will all be accepted. The goal of this series is to objectively illustrate both sides involved.

Each episode will explore why each party felt entitled to the involved inheritance and why they might have thought that others were less deserving than themselves.

Involvement with the series offers a great opportunity for legal experts to help viewers to deepen their understanding of the
importance of wills and estates.

If you would like to participate in this series, or have a case you think they should profile, please contact researcher Ramelle Mair at r.mair@cmjprod.ca.

Take Action On Affidavit A.S.A.P. Re: Janet Phelan's Battle Against Corruption

California conservatorship affidavit update

A few weeks ago, we posted this request:

Journalist Janet Phelan regularly reports on conservatorship activities in California. An important appeals hearing recently took place regarding the licensing of conservator Melodie Scott. Scott was prominently featured in the 2005 Los Angeles Times series Guardians for Profit: When a Family Matter Turns into a Business. Click here for an overview of the proceedings. Two later articles are also available: As Scott’s Licensing Hearing Resumes, Conservatee Dies and Scott Licensing Question Now Up to Judge.

Janet sent this request for the EoD audience:

Steve Price, who testified at Melodie Scott’s licensing hearing, has constructed this affidavit for people to sign and will forward the signed copies to the Department of Consumer Affairs. At last count, I believe we have somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty signatures. The head of the DCA must sign off on whatever judgment the Administrative Law Judge comes up with; therefore, the DCA is the best place to lodge our concerns. Please post this with the Price’s email address and a request for signatures and forwarding to Price.

Thanks.

The affidavit text is available affidavit091120. Signed documents should be returned to SPRICE26@roadrunner.com.

Notification has now been received that affidavits are being prepared for submission such that anyone still wanting to participate should forward their signed document to Steve Price as soon as possible.

Florida Supremes Now Approve Corruption Grand Jury

Posted: 02 Dec 2009 07:50 PM PST by EstateOfDenial.Com

Fla. Supreme Court approves grand jury to investigate corruption
Bill Cotterell
December 2, 2009
The News-Press
http://www.news-press.com/article/20091202/SS15/91202046/1075/Fla.-Supreme-Court-approves-grand-jury-to-investigate-corruption
TALLAHASSEE — The third try did the trick for Gov. Charlie Crist today, as the Florida Supreme Court ordered creation of a statewide grand jury to investigate public corruption in South Florida.

The high court had turned down the governor’s request just Monday. Crist had initially petitioned the court to empanel a multi-jurisdiction grand jury to look into criminal activities statewide, and then filed an amended petition, but was unsuccessful.

So he filed another amended petition, giving more detail of the types of crimes he wanted the grand jury to investigate — everything from bribery and drug dealing to carjacking and fraud –while certifying that “these crimes are of a multi-circuit nature,” crossing the lines of counties and judicial circuits.

This time, the seven justices agreed, directing Circuit Judge Victor Tobin to preside over a 12-month grand jury term with jurors drawn from four circuits.

Crist cheered the court’s decision, saying it is vital that the work of state attorneys in separate circuits be reinforced by the statewide panel. Although the grand jury has unlimited jurisdiction, its work is expected to focus on Southeast Florida, where Crist has suspended many indicted public officials in nearly three years as governor.

Attorney General Bill McCollum also said he’s encouraged by authorization of the probe.

“Public officials should be held accountable for any illegal and dishonorable actions that violate the public’s trust,” said McCollum. “They should adhere to a higher standard, not make a mockery of the offices with which they were entrusted.”

Request for Urgent Contact

I have heard about Colleen Patterson. She is a scary person. She has a bankrupcty that she did not report, is very deceitful and destroys families. The Court should not let people like her have control over such vulnerable individuals. She has done many really dishonest things and misrepresents her credentials.

Thank You

*Probate Mafias Zero in on Children and Elderly Who Make Easy Targets

*Disclaimer Welcome to the Probate Mafias rampant throughout the land . Probate court is actually not a mafia - yet this is what is feels like

Clara G Fernandez was forced to leave her home after her Estate was stolen by estranged family member Adalberto J Fernandez in combination with his life's partner William A. Hart of Winter Haven ,Florida.

Clara was kept in the home of Andy Scott Hart at 525 Lake Howard Drive in N.W. Winter Haven ,33880 in Florida while Quit Claim Deeds were being prepared and new POA's drafted which left Clara penniless.

The authorities did nothing to regain Clara's multimillion dollar estate which disappeared as if by magic, but rather appointed an army of Key West attorneys among David Paul Horan, Robert Tischenkel , Julie Ann Garber, Donald E Yates . Cara A. Higgins among others attorneys who watched as Clara's investment property in Port Charlotte ,Florida was sold off on the courthouse steps and jewelry sold off on the internet while billing themselves out of Clara's now dwindling funds but did nothing to protect or guard Clara's assets.

While her social security income was confiscated and converted to legal fees to line up the pockets of the many players that piled on to get a piece of Clara after her abuse and incapacitation.

After complaining to the DCF the manager of the Key West DCF told us if we pressed our complaint that "We would regret it".

When attorney Robert Tischenkel and Donald E Gates re-routed the elders social security income the money that previously went to feed the elder and buy her medications was no more. Here the once proud and financial independent was forced to go to soup kitchens and handouts of free medicine samples given to doctors from traveling salesman relying on the kindness of strangers for her survival.-Something we never thought could happen the the United States of America!

Clara at 93 years old ultimately left the USA for a third world country where elders are respected and she enjoys a loving family live away from endless court hearings and bottomless DCF investigation that only help serve the attorneys to victimize the elders. Unfortunately the DCF has been weaponized and is used by dissatisfied parties that feel shortchanged in the process as a weapon against the elder and their families....

Clara after having broken free from the shackles of tyranny of forced nursing homes stays, chemically restraining, and endless courthearings costing $100,000's she is now enjoying hassle free life surrounding by loving people..........God Bless Clara at 93 she never gave up not even in her darkest moments after having been left alone in hotel rooms to fall and become incapacitated..this by the people that were supposed to be watching over her but were only interested relieving her of her life time of savings....

God Bless Clara ! For having the courage to escape tyranny and start life over at 93 years old!

Note: Clara's husband Dr. A.J.Fernandez got caught in the crossfire and died in utter despair as a result of the stress of the situation a little after a year of the forced separation for financial reasons of the couple that had endured 58 long years of marriage. This is a situation that destroyed the Fernandez family while the authorities refused to lift a finger to investigate or take any steps to help the elderly couple, however they were happy to participate in the pinata that was to become of the fruits of their life's sacrifice.

Learn How to Steal Estates From Children. Step by Step Guide With Actual Examples....

Children who have survived the passing of one or more parents, are especially vulnerable to stress, loneliness, and guilt. Imagine never having any kind of closure - and having to relive the pain of loosing your parent finding out 20 years later everything was stolen.

Letters to Editor : Judicial Terrorism

From: rudy bush
To: Ray Fernandez

Sent: Thursday, November 26, 2009 10:19 AM

Subject: From Rudy

Ray, I thought I would keep you up to date. A legislator and a non profit lady went to see my mom, her first visitors from outside the guardianship in years. The nonprofit lady wrote a letter to the guardian asking for guardian's reports and for an honest evaluation for my mom and saying that the non-profit lady wants to give this information to the legislature.

The guardian's lawyer wrote a letter back sent registered (at cost to my mom) to the non profit lady saying I hope you know what a terrible character this Rudy is, and what gives you the right to have any information--who do you think you are--you are not a lawyer.

When the guardian's lawyer got no response to the registered letter the guardian filed with the court "Petition for Instructions" on Oct. 26, 2009 stating that the information the non-profit lady wants is being protected by the guardian as protecrtion of my mother's rights from being given to the non-profit lady and the legislature.

The fact is the guardian's lawyer is protecting her client the guardian because the information is very incriminating to the guardian. Now the same biased judge who hates Rudy is going to rule this week without my mother or me or the non-profit laddy being allowed to file, a nice one sided "proceeding." As part of the pleading the guardian's lawyer is asking he judge to make the non-profit lady sign a paper that will be drawn up by the guardian's lawyer (at charge to my mom) to keep prevent the non profit lady giving the information to the legislature.

Rudy

Hi Rudy, this is very enlightening, thanks....
But it makes my blood boil to read about cases like yours where state sponsored terrorism, is keeping you from your mother and she is being held in solitary confinement for so long. it is truly hard to believe this is happening in our beloved land of the free...

My prayers go out that there is a God and the horrible crime of confining an elder during their golden years for profit is a heinous crime that will not go unpunished in the big scheme of thing and that Karma will make the thieves who found their niche in partnership with the courts some day pay for their crimes against humanity

(HAI) Health Care Associated Infection

One thing everyone can agree on, no matter where they come down on the current health care debates, is that no one should get sick as a result of visiting the doctor.

When someone develops an infection at a hospital or other patient care facility that they did not have prior to treatment, this is referred to as a healthcare-associated (sometimes hospital-acquired) infection (HAI).

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a global crisis affecting both patients and healthcare workers.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at any point in time, 1.4 million people worldwide suffer from infections acquired in hospitals.

A Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report published in March-April 2007 estimated the number of U.S. deaths from healthcare associated infections in 2002 at 98,987.
