Breaking News — another martyr created and endorsed by the ARDC

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Pretty soon they will have to put posts for our heads up outside 130 E Randolph.

I understand Sir Thomas Moore, from A Man for All Seasons, now considered a true scholar, lawyer, judge and reverred Chancellor of England, had his head on a post for about a month until his daughter took it down after he clung to his principles of honor and integrity, opposing the divorce and putting away of Queen Catherine, but then he did go on to marry Anne Boleyn who birthed on of the greatest rulers of that age, Queen Elizabeth I, so who knows.

But he did stick to his principles and always told the truth.  When he would not support the new king’s marriage, there was a fight for awhile, but eventually it was off with his head at the tower of England.

In any case, the Sup. Ct. of Ill. agreed with…

53 Disability Rights Activists Arrested in Washington DC by Obama White House

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

after they were told the US President would not hear their demands to stop housing the disabled in nursing homes against their will where they cannot experience life to its fullest.

Sound familiar?  Anytime, the nursing home industry is threatened it seems someone gets arrested, from Barbara Stone and her heroic fight to protect her mother, to Glenda Martinez who recently won her fight to restore her POA rights and bring her husband home (complete with bed sores, a rash, deteriorated limbs and muscles for lying in bed all day without rehab, etc.)

150+ disabled rights activists storm the White House fence for their rights, and the US President has them arrested instead of looking at their demands.

The organization is ADAPT.

From Ken Ditkowsky–another call for an investigation! And a call for organization and attorneys!

Subject: Retaliation.

Illinois has been a leader in judicial corruption.      The tight (corrupt) political control over the judicial system has been credited for the successful growth of a judiciary that most citizens are await to become involved.    We have a ‘watchdog’ committee promulgated by the Supreme Court of Illinois that is unembarrassed when it suspends a lawyer for demanding an investigation of obvious corruption, a lawyer for “practicing law while black,” a lawyer for exercizing her obligations of citizenship and pursuant to the protection of both the State and Federal Constitution operating a blog.    This same organization bars a civil rights leader from observing a kangaroo hearing that it is conducting.   It should be noted that other people were admitted to the “hearing!”…

Cooper’s Corner’s Tomorrow night discusses what happened at the Review Board!

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

As all of you are aware, the “Review Board” hearing was utterly amazing in that 1) they banned my court reporter, and 2) left Diane Nash, a famous Civil Rights leader featured in the movie Selma, standing the hallway (while 2 litigator attorneys sat in the first row).

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

There will be plenty to discuss and NEWS FLASH!  For those of you that are probate victims, or family members, we will be having the first meeting of Justice 4 Every1’s Probate Victim/Corruption Victim Support Group. Come and find and meet with others who have experienced the horrors of corrupt court rooms and judges.  Amazing and horrific stories.  All victims and their families are invited.

Next up, Glenda’ Martinez-Col. Smith’s amazing win…

From Ken Ditkowsky – Complaint regarding Jerome Larkin

Subject: complaint against Jerome Larkin

Pursuant to Himmel, I am complaining of the amoral conduct exhibited by Jerome Larkin, the Administrator of the IARDC and persons employed by the IARDC.    My complaints are:
1) the April 9, 2015 exclusion of Ms. Diane Nash from the hearing room in which a kangaroo hearing was held concerning Ms. Denison license.    I trust that you know that Ms. Nash is an icon of the Civil Rights movement in America and except for the Illinois Supreme Court’s commission is well respected and beloved for her role in America’s proud history.
2) the intellectual and wrongful legal lynching of Mr. Amu — the racial nexus of the proceeding is…

From Ken Ditkowsky to the Wall Street Journal–elder cleansing is a real threat to us all and our loved ones

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

To:   Editors of the Wall Street Journal
Cc:    Justice Department/Law enforcement.
This morning (April 16, 2015) the First editorial starts with the words:
“Ill- defined federal laws now reach into virtually every sphere of human behavior, and thus prosecutors can destroy almost anyone they choose.”
 Indeed, such is a sobering thought; however, many Federal and State laws are very clear and they also reach into ever sphere of human endeavor.     Many of these laws, especially those that codify America’s core values should not be swept under the rug or granted an insignificant status.    For instance,  it is very clear and black letter law that any citizen, at any- time, anywhere, and  in just about any circumstances has a right to complain to other citizens and to law enforcement of judicial corruption, political corruption, and even suspected corruption.      Thus, a citizen, has a right to author or manage a blog that…

Success in Las Vegas–95 year WWII vet escapes “professional guardians”

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Now he is happy at home with friends and relatives caring for him.

From the NASGA newsletter today:

http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/escape-was-only-option-old-soldier-trapped-guardian-system

check out a happy ending, but it was only after a horror story of being forced from his own home, $400k drained from his estate by “professionals” that his family endured a long court battle to let him go free.

Congratualtions to this family and their endurance and a nice success story of hope.

And I’m also pleased to announce that Glenda Martinez and her husband Col. Alan Smith, ret’d., are now back together and at home after waging a fierce battle for about 1.5 years to free Col. Smith from an abusive guardian and nursing home.

He returned to his own home and is very happy with his “non professional” famiily and friend caregivers who give him all the love and attention and good food he desires.

Two wonderful stories…

From Jane Stillwater–No one messes with Grandma Zombies!

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

If only we can get the grandma zombies to protect our elders from probate and locked down nursing homes?

Any film student want to write a plot for that one?

Zombie grandmas:  How to make the most of getting old
      About three years ago, I made the big mistake of looking too closely into my bathroom mirror.  Yuck!  All I could see was wrinkles and gray hair.  But wait — I was never supposed to have actually gotten this old.  This was never supposed to have happened!  But it did — at least to my body if not my mind.
     “So,” I said to myself, “what the freak can I do with OLD?”  I know!  I’ll become an actor!  And so I did.
  

Fortunately, there are several film schools in my city where student directors are always looking for talent to use…

From Ken Ditowsky–An Apology is demanded from Jerome Larkin to Diane Nash

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

The ARDC boasted in its 2013 Annual Report  it owns $1.2 million in furniture, but it could not find a $10 stool for Mrs. Nash, who is a probate victim and famed civil rights activist from the 1960’s, honored and awarded repeatedly.  Mr. Larkin and his staff did not even know who she was, did not ask, and did not accommodate this elderly lady of justice while Attys Opryszek and Smart took up valuable chairs in the front and deprived an elderly Queen of Civil Rights the seat she justly deserved.  You didn’t ask, you didn’t think and you didn’t act when you should have.  Shame on you all–Joanne
Dear Mr. Larkin,
The barring Ms. Diane Nash from the hearing room during the facade of a hearing on the 9th of April was so rude and so wrong that it is incomprehensible that a civil rights activist heroine from…

Another amazing argument to the ARDC to simply do something about the crisis in the courts!

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Today was oral argument at the ARDC promptly at 9:30 and I paid $200 to have  a private court reporter there to record what I said.  I didn’t trust the ARDC after the last time the transcript was changed so I hired my own.

But when she arrived, she was told she could not set up, and the clerk said he would check with the panel and get back to her.  I was busy preparing for the argument and looking over my notes and never realized she did not set up and no one got back to her.

So they blocked my court reporter, successfully again.

But to my amazement, 10 probate victims showed up and filled the little galley. In fact,there were so many probate victims, they made Diane Nash, a celebrated civil rights hero stand outside the court room!  They could have made room, they could have brought…
