From Ken Ditkowsky–new SCOTUS cases uphold broad interpretation of 1st amendment rights

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

With regard to the Lanre Amu case, a lawyer who discovered that Judge Lynn Egan was granting far too many motions to certain litigants appearing before her.  Attorney Amu discovered that certain litigants were being represented by Judge Lynn Egan’s brother’s law firm and this appeared to help that firm win many questionable motions.  Of course, Judge Lynn Egan isn’t supposed to have her brother or his law firm appearing before her.  That would be unethical.  So Crain’s Chicago Business conducted an investigation and found that not only that was true, but Judge Egan was sitting on the Board of various suburban hospitals and also hearing their cases and again,  motions were being won by the defendant hospitals far too many times.  The hospitals kicked Judge Egan off their Boards and apologized for the corruption.
Nothing has happened to Judge Egan for all of this, oh, and in addition, when…

Things not to be believed. When an attorney’s quest to protect her elderly mother from an abusive guardianship turns into a $5 million bond

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

I have not talked to Barbara Stone in a long time.  The last time I talked to her was to say good bye because “those who are in charge” threatened her that if she continued to speak out against the abusive guardianship of her mother, her mother would end up dead.

I know there are many of you out there that have heard the threat, that is sad and it disgusts me.

I know Barbara.  I have seen her in action. She is smart, a great attorney and helps everyone who comes to her.  I watched her spend hours on the phone trying to help others.

But the Racket in Miami Dade is well entrenched and very, very evil.

I have seen the corrupt court system with states attorneys that run to the judge’s office to talk about the case.

I have seen how Barbara was treated with disgust.

I…

From Injustice Watch and Paul Abramson–What is the Problem with the Judicial Inquiry Board in Illinois?

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Injustice Watch- 

In Illinois, punishment is slow and lenient for errant judges

 Print

Beset by too many cases and too little money, Illinois officials are struggling with their constitutional responsibility to investigate and punish errant judges.

It commonly takes years to act against judges who violate the Illinois Code of Judicial Conduct, and the punishment seldom is more than a public reprimand.

An investigation by Injustice Watch, a new organization devoted to exposing systemic problems that impede justice and equality, identifies widespread problems:

• The Judicial Inquiry Board, the agency that investigates judicial misconduct, has seen its budget shrink in recent years even as the number of complaints has grown.

• The backlog of cases has grown, and state officials warn that budget cuts hobble the agency’s ability…

From FB–Oregon Senate passes bill to allow mentally ill and dementia patients to be starved and dehydrated to death.

Oregon Senate Passes Bill to Allow Starving Mentally Ill Patients to Death

Only a psychopath would allow for such a thing.  But from what I hear from victims and their families of elder cleansing, their elderly loved ones are being forced into nursing homes and even a casual visitor will hear the patients say they want to go home (why is no one investigating this) or they are hungry because they aren’t fed enough or need help in feeding but aren’t getting it.

At Warren Barr, I am told that unless the Daughter came daily to feed her mother, Mother would not get fed.  And on some days when Daughter was 15 min. late, a full tray was put back on the cart to get shipped to the kitchen.  Why?  trays are plunked down in front of the patient, and if the patient does not eat in 15 min and…

From Ken Ditkowsky–While judges have the right to make bad decisions (we wish they woudn’t), they cannot make biased or fixed decisions

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Subject: like it or not!
Date: Jun 15, 2017 5:01 PM
The objective and unbiased Judge has a right to make honest incorrect decisions as to both the law and the facts.    Every human has a right to be human; however, people acting in the public trust have serious obligations to the public.   The First and primary obligation is to be respectful to the Rule of Law and to apply it honestly, without favoritism or bias.    In other words we expect that the judge will call the case as he/she sees it.
We all know that such has in many instances has not been the case and indeed in too many situations to MOTION TO FIX has been prevailing over all other aspects of Judicial procedure.   The ‘Operation Greylord’ prosecutions made public the fact we in Cook County, Illinois had the ‘best’ judiciary money…

* I give my permission to publish this information on anti-corruption blogs.
Deal All,
 
I continue to report rampant judicial corruption and fraud against IL public committed by certain IL judges on all levels of Illinois Court system.
 
Co-accidentally the most predatory and dishonest judges are family members and/or friends of IL Democratic party leaders Michael Madigan, his daughter IL Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who covers for her father’ s clout corruption; and Edward Burke with his wife Anne Burke, who help their cronies to get positions of public Trust in exchange of handsome donations. 
 
Since 2012 I many times reported massive foreclosures fraud and money laundering mill operated in IL Courts with aid and abet from certain corrupt judges…

From JPStillwater–The US spends Trillions on wars to “promote democracy” but years, even decades later, US citizens still can’t go there. Why is that?

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

This woman asks some very interesting questions. Sooo much money blown up and squandered.  Why can’t we now travel to these countries?

Reposted with permission

The US freed Libya. So why can’t I go there?
     In 2001, all we ever heard about in the media was how America was going to “free Afghanistan for democracy.”  Sixteen years and several trillion dollars later, Afghanistan should be as free as a bird now, right?
     So I went to Expedia.com and clicked on “flight + hotel” to Kabul.  Nothing came up.  Afghanistan is so very free these days that American tourists can’t even go there.  Hell, even war correspondents can’t get in there either.  Hmmm.
     But what about Iraq, the country that America spent approximately five trillion dollars freeing from that evil dictator what’s-his-name.  Plus when I was a kid, I had always dreamed about…

State Of Indiana Forced To Pay $25 MILLION To Couple After Making Their Lives A Living Hell

The state of Indiana made life a living hell for the Finnegans,  Roman and Lynnette.  First, their child died after a doctor accidentally prescribed what turned out to be an overdose of her medications.  The coroner confirmed how she died.  Their daughter Jessica was born with heart and seizure disease.  She was on several medications, when her doctor took her off one medication and then doubled her dosage on a second.  After jennifer died, the Department of Children’s Services charged them with neglect, even though the coroner’s report cleared them completely.  They have now been fully cleared and Indiana has agreed to pay them $25 million in damages.

 Jessica was born with a heart defect and seizure disorder and had numerous open heart…

Great new series on Netflix-“the Keepers”

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Either watch this 7 part series on Netflix, or get to a friend’s home and watch it.

Back in 1969, a nun and a 19 year old woman were brutally murdered and their bodies dumped in a sleeping surburban town that saw little or no crime.

Keough was the Catholic School where hundreds of teen girls were abused by 2 Priests and their friends and buddies–with the girls suffering brutal repeated rapes.

One priest was raping boys at another school, the mother found out and demanded the school do something and they did, they transferred the priest to Keough!

Why do I recommend the movie?  The case received unprecedented attention, a massive “investigation” was undertaken, thousands of documents recovered, scores of people interviewed, the state, local and county governments collected information and documents and even the FBI (the murders occurred on military installations for training soldiers so the FBI had…
