From the NPR website–federal rules may soon eliminate need to sign arbitration clause in nursing home contracts
This might make it more costly for the nursing homes to understaff and abuse patients–problems we know are rampant with beatings and sexual abuse, dehydration and bed sores.
The comments are interesting too. One commentator said that there is no reason to increase the cost of keeping an elder because the elder is going to die anyway in the nursing home and lack of quality care will not change the outcome. (Comment of a psychopath)
Interesting that they don’t consider the cost in terms of litigation when there is rampant abuse and neglect into that factor, and the other factor of people are there to do a job correctly, and also there is the factor that parents and grandparents deserve kindness and compassion at end of live and not squalor and abuse.
From the Wall Street Journal–$700,000 in fees in 30 months–what a Guardianship is all about!
More mainstream media coverage! Yes. The title? ABUSE PLAGUES SYSTEM OF LEGAL GUARDIANS. And they act like it’s something new.
From the Wall Street Journal, an article on the g-ship of Linda McDowell, 71 years old.
But guardianship systems across the country are plagued by allegations of financial exploitation and abuse, despite waves of overhaul efforts. As a result, critics say, many elderly people with significant assets become ensnared in a system that seems mainly to succeed at generating billings. “These laws which were designed to protect the vulnerable are being used against them to exploit them,” says Dr. Sam Sugar, founder of Americans Against Abusive Probate Guardianship, an advocacy group.

But the roughly 1.5 million adult guardianships in the U.S. involve an estimated $273 billion in assets, according to Anthony Palmieri, auditor for the guardianship fraud program in Palm Beach County, Fla.

How the nursing homes are becoming far more dangerous than ever imagined–now they call in SWAT teams!
from the following article:
http://countercurrentnews.com/2014/01/how-police-became-a-standing-army/#
After first describing how a SWAT team descended upon an animal shelter for housing for one night a fawn abandoned by its mother, came the note:
Eleven days later and less than 100 miles away, staff at a nursing home in the Chicago suburb of Park Forest called paramedics after 95-year-old World War II veteran John Wrana, suffering from a delusional episode, refused medical treatment. The paramedics in turn called the police, which further agitated Wrana, who threatened them with his cane and a knife. The police responded by shooting Wrana with stun guns and bean bags fired from a shotgun. Wrana died from internal bleeding shortly thereafter.
Jerome Larkin head Aministrator of the ARDC has joined forces with attorneys and judges to make sure that YOUR parents and grandparents are routinely housed in nursing homes against their will and without their or YOUR consent. …

Dirty Attorney pleads to Misprison of Felony for covering up cop’s crimes
Dirty Prosecutor Admits to Covering Up for Cop Who Shoved Gun Down Victim’s Throat
Apparently the DA attorney a Ms. Worrell had a “close relationship” with a dirty cop who handcuffed a suspect, beat him up and shoved a gun down the victim’s throat.
Instead of helping the victim file charges against the officer, the DA helped the police officer file false charges against the victim, adding insult to injury.
It is believed Ms. Worrell will face only 18 months probation for her crime.
If Larkin is involved he would just give her a reprimand.
For reporting on dirty attorneys and such in Illinois honest attorneys get suspended for 3 to 4 years.
From Ken Ditkowsky — The Cover up by US Govt officials continues….
The cover-up of the Elder Cleansing scandal has grabbed my attention and marvels me. It is absolutely amazing that public officials have the temerity to act with criminal intent and actually get away with it. Every day it puzzles me that here in America so many senior citizens and disabled people are literally kidnapped, and robbed of their dignity and few are even concerned. Indeed, when a rapist is loose in a neighborhood everyone starts locking doors and windows, walking in pairs, and a hue and cry is raised. However, when an elderly and/or disabled person is seized, packaged into one of the hell hole nursing homes to lie in his/her own urine pursuant to an ultra vires court order… |

Free and support the Unity 5 Journalists in Myanmar Jailed for Free Speech
One of the things Myanmar is severely lacking is free speech.
In this article we have Muslims being banned from political office:
http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2015/10/myanmar-muslim-free-election-151024182312301.html
Next, we have Amnesty International complaining about the Unity 5 or 5 banned imprisoned journalists for merely speaking the truth:
On World Press Freedom Day we remind the government of their promises to foster a free press and demand freedom for the ‘Unity Five’.
“What I want is more media freedom.” These are the words of Tint San, Chief Executive Officer at the Unity newspaper in Myanmar during his trial. His crime? Doing his job.
In January 2014, weekly newspaper Unity published an article about an alleged secret chemical weapons factory in Magwe Region, central Myanmar. Reporting that the factory was built in 2009 on land that was confiscated from farmers.
The government was quick to deny the…

FBI used to investigate political conservatives and suppress First Amendment speech
from the Wall Street Journal:
http://www.wsj.com/articles/john-doe-goes-to-washington-1445899241
Our readers know that Democratic prosecutors in Wisconsin tried to criminalize the political speech of Governor Scott Walker’s allies, but it turns out their ambitions didn’t stop at the state line. New evidence shows that John Doe investigators were trawling the files they collected via subpoenas and search warrants for information on national conservatives.
The documents are under seal in a state court case, Eric O’Keefe and Wisconsin Club for Growth v. Wisconsin Government Accountability Board (GAB), but two sources have read them to us. The lawsuit is a complaint against the GAB, the state agency that worked with Milwaukee prosecutors on the John Doe that used campaign-finance laws to trample the First Amendment.
*****
This is all entirely interesting that Wisconsin is a hot bed of supressing the First Amendment, because union complained they could not protest at the capital when Wisconsin became…

Spiegelman’s Cease and Desist letter to this blog regarding the Helen and Barbara Stone Case
As many of you are aware, an attorney from Florida wrote a Cease and Desist letter to me regarding removing all content for “any and all cases in Miami Date County, Floorida relative to Barbara Stone, Helen Stone and/or the Guardinship of Helen Stone, and any and all parties participants counsel who have appeared, including Roy R. Lustig and Judge Michael A. Genden…..”
I would like to know why this guy is covering up corruption in the Florida court system? What is the point of that? Who is he actually working for and why is he doing this?
In any case, I have emailed him and I am waiting to hear from him regarding why he is attempting to suppress my (and your) first amendment rights to publish what Barbara Stone has told us.
It must be an important case, because it’s expensive and risky to send out these letters.
