Dear Readers;
This is really what makes a blog special and what
we all want to read, and that it the personal thoughts and feeling of
those that are going through these terrible courtroom travesties of
justice.
Just how do people handle all of this? Gloria hasn't
seen, touched or talked to her mother for a year now--its' the worst
form of emotional abuse to a senior. Gloria and her mother were very
close for the 10 + prior years Carolyn ripped Mary G out of her home and
neighborhood since the 1950's and has isolated her in the remote suburb
of Naperville. Don't get me wrong, but suburbs are most useful if you
can drive. And Carolyn is isolating Mary.
And that brings up
another question (I gotta publish this one)--Gloria tells me that her
mother had passed the driver's exam in 2009! Her test wasn't perfect,
but SHE PASSED! That was in summer, so how is it at the same time some
hack PsychD is saying she is incompetent! Huh? That's what I want to
know. She can pass a driver's test, road exam and written test, but
some hack says she is incompetent? Someone wants to invalidate Mary G's
legal documents from August 2008? That's outside the statute of
limitations for "Relief from Judgment" or to defeat a properly entered
judgment. Why do they think they can do that. And Gloria tells me that
in 2009 Mary was driving. To the Grocer's and around the neighborhood.
In fact, it turns out that because Mary G didn't like to drive Gloria's
car (too big), she was borrowing a neighbor's car! Obviously the
neighbor thought Mary G was competent enough to drive.
What are they basing this alleged incompetency judgment on, exactly? Who in their right mind would do such a thing?
The videos, the pages of handwriting, now the driver's license test--who does this?
More disgusting facts, more apologies to Gloria.

Now for words from Gloria:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
I
can't help but believe that God is watching us from above every time we
sit on the toilet. I also believe God watches specialty events,
occasionally guiding tennis balls to hit the edges of the white lines on
the courts, basketballs off the backboards into the hoops, and
baseballs over the walls for home-runs. God knows when people are
dishonest and revengeful just like Santa knows which children are naught
and which ones are nice. I think all people live "Under God" a deity
peering down on us just like the manager at Walmart atop the customer
service desk. That said, I have a keep sense of right and wrong: a
strong personal and professional integrity that was taught to me by my
mother and father. "Reach for the starts," my parents told me, "and if
you fall short, look how far you've gone!". So you'll have to excuse me
when I say that the last few years have been a nightmare, a reality no
man, woman or child should have to face in the real world. And so, when
I tell the facts of the 'horror story' it is not unusual for people of
authority to say, "you're nuts' and "that can't happen [in America]".
One only needs to read the 12 or so verified court records that include
transcripts, currently on file with the Cook County Clerk's
office/Probate Division and there's no doubt in my mind that the
repeated comment in response "you're nuts" or "that can't happen [in
America] will be changed to "Oh my God!"
Indeed,
Oh My God! But as God has nothing to do with the actions of dishonest,
vindictive, greedy people, this reality my mother and I and thousands
of "American's" face every day. The media is filled with stories of
people shows selfishness and personal agendas are now infamous. They
work at such places as ENRON, Arthur Anderson, WorldCom, even the Roman
Catholic Church: they've betrayed the trust of stockholders, citizens,
children and the faithful -- making our Democracy, our Economy, and our
religious institutions less trustworthy in the process.
These
particular stories have faded from the front page, but the story of
Corporate Greed and selfishness will be in the news forever. The
problem we have is that our Judicial is so well insulated, protected,
that the "media' has been silent, until now! Still, it's drama is
perennial and its social costs immense. The poet Rumi said it with
reckless candor 800 years ago, "If you are here unfaithfully with us
your are causing terrible damage".
What
my Mother and I, and thousands of other 'victims' of Court sanctioned
abuses and financial exploitations of the elderly and disabled have
experienced is not a failure of legal ethics on the part of our Judicial
and the attorneys appointed by the Courts: it's a failure of human
holiness. Doctors who are dismissive of patients, politicians who lie
to voters, attorney's who intentionally "LIE" to the Judges and
themselves and rob the elderly and disabled of their Golden Years and
lives, and clergy who rob children of their well-being and childhoods!
These people, men and women like attorneys Peter Schmiedel, Cynthia
Farenga, and Adam Stern, for the most part do not lack ethical knowledge
or convictions: they give speeches and seminars on financial
exploitation and ethical issues and more than likely believe their own
words. But they have a well rehearsed habit of holding their own
knowledge and beliefs at great remove from the LIVING of their lives.
Over
the past three years the THREE attorneys listed above, have not only
destroyed my livelihood and stolen my homestead and assets, but they
have intentionally taken from me my Mother who is also my best friend:
they have willfully destroyed my Mother's life and the lives of all
people mother loves and trusts for their own financial gain. I am not
'nuts' or as the THREE want you to believe every adult child or loved
one who stands up to the Probate Courts and attorneys are collectively,
'bi-polar and mentally ill'. No, hell no! I made a promise to my
mother that I will save my Mother's life and bring her home to the
community where she thrived for over 50 years, to the unrestricted and
unsupervised life she once had filled with the freedoms to speak to and
visit with whomever she pleased, to spend her money how she wants, and
to have access to and the right to retain an attorney of her choice and
sue the the people who have done her harm! What I've learned about
myself is awesome, if I may say so myself. I've learned about
friendship and the meaning of friendship: I've learned about love and
the powers behind true love; and I've learned that the selfish, hateful,
divided lives of many the officers of the probate courts across America
- and particularly in Cook County Chicago, is pathological, so it
always gives rise to symptoms -- and if we acknowledge the symptoms, we
may be able to treat the cancer -- the DIS-EASE! When people error,
they lie and then they coverup and hurt the innocents: the cover-up is
always worse than the initial crime. Only when we are able to see it,
can we believe it and once we believe that what most find impossible is
possible, we start to un-numb ourselves and find the courage to prevail.
If we continue to let people like Adam Stern, Cynthia Farenga, and
Peter Schmiedel (including other attorneys from Fischel & Kahn)
continue to manipulate the system, our judicial, bend the rules and live
above the laws, there is no hope. But if we believe, as I do, that
we're people "Under God", then we have the angles on our side.
Personally, I'd rather have God and the Angels on my side than any of
the political elite running the show in the Sykes case. Now I say,
"Dear God, thank you for giving me the courage, health and strength to
right these wrongs and save my life and in doing so, save my mother's
life" rather than "Oh my God". I'm still reaching for the stars! What
makes this journey, this challenge even more accomplishable is that I'm
not alone: thousands of us stand hand in hand and will prevail, together
because we know right from wrong, good from bad, and heck, we know God
is watching us from above... even as we sit on the toilet!
(As
I wrote my Chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement, I find myself
missing my mother more and more. It's been over one year since I last
touched her, heard her voice, felt her unconditional love, knew she was
okay. And so I wrote this note as a way for me to cope and move
forward, as getting on with live is better than getting by with life...
please cross post.)
