The amazing Suspended, Dissolved, Terminated, Forfeited, Delinquent, perchance Active-Status (re)Incarnations Family Court Stakeholders (Phew!)

Well, I’m breathless keeping up with them. Someone very, very tech-savvy should design a 3D chart.

The X-axis could be years, the Y axis perhaps States of incorporation. A 3rd dimension could be either $$, or Board of Directors Personnel in common Profit/Nonprofit or perhaps %/# of public law & court-related employees among incorporating personnel.

Actually no matter how I look at it, the human mind can’t keep up with such level of detail, and I don’t see any databases that are, although there are plenty of databases that track almost every other level of detail, including books signed out from local public libraries by users.

My cursor / fingers are so trained they can get on auto-pilot, or otherwise just about effortlessly over to the state (usually my state’s) “Business Corporations” search page, and then the “Registry of Charitable Trusts” search page – in approximately 5 seconds or less, without bookmarks. The computer is trained to go there also.

Business Entities (BE)

Main Page

To spice it up a bit, I took a little detour to the link underneath “Business Search” — and to “Disclosures.” (California Secretary of State link)

No, this isn’t the judges’ statements about their financial holdings (Form 700s in my state — what about in yours?) — but Public Traded Stock corporations doing business in (my state). This is another angle of the child support enforcement (and other) businesses we tend to overlook.

There are shareholders – not just employees — invested, literally, in the success (profit) of for-profit organizations whose business is to put liens on your assets and garnish your wages if you’re a delinquent in support payments person. Or, sometimes, when you aren’t. Or sometimes, as it comes to certain groups, when you don’t even have a minor child by the name they are putting into the system. Or paid already (and so forth).

So, before posting Maximus’s disclosures (speaking of which) my Secretary of State site very helpfully posts the relevant business codes for anyone – meaning any foreign (out of state) corporation doing business “intra” (within) the state. These are for the protection of the stockholders, and us.

For example:

2105. (a) A foreign corporation shall not transact intrastate business without having first obtained from the Secretary of State a certificate of qualification. To obtain that certificate it shall file, on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State, a statement and designation signed by a corporate officer stating:

(1) Its name and the state or place of its incorporation or organization.

(2) The address of its principal executive office.

(3) The address of its principal office within this state, if any.

(4) The name of an agent upon whom process directed to the corporation may be served within this state. The designation shall comply with the provisions of subdivision (b) of Section 1502.

(5) (A) Its irrevocable consent to service of process directed to it upon the agent designated and to service of process on the Secretary of State if the agent so designated or the agent’s successor is no longer authorized to act or cannot be found at the address given.

(B) Consent under this paragraph extends to service of process directed to the foreign corporation’s agent in California for a search warrant issued pursuant to Section 1524.2 of the Penal Code, or for any other validly issued and properly served search warrant, for records or documents that are in the possession of the foreign corporation and are located inside or outside of this state. This subparagraph shall apply to a foreign corporation that is a party or a nonparty to the matter for which the search warrant is sought. For purposes of this subparagraph, “properly served” means delivered by hand, or in a manner reasonably allowing for proof of delivery if delivered by United States mail, overnight delivery service, or facsimile to a person or entity listed in Section 2110 of the Corporations Code.

(6) {{[(a)??}} If it is a corporation which will be subject to the Insurance Code as an insurer, it shall so state that fact. (b) Annexed to that statement and designation shall be a certificate by an authorized public official of the state or place of incorporation of the corporation to the effect that the corporation is an existing corporation in good standing in that state or place or, in the case of an association, an officers’ certificate stating that it is a validly organized and existing business association under the laws of a specified foreign jurisdiction. (c) Before it may be designated by any foreign corporation as its agent for service of process, any corporate agent must comply with Section 1505.

This is going to become VERY interesting when it comes to nonprofits with the word “COURT” anywhere in their name. The ethereal re-incarnations and multi-state addresses are really hard to keep up with.

But, thankfully, MAXIMUS was forthcoming and disclosed, twice, in California (remind me to check EVERY state):

C1618100 MAXIMUS, INC. WHICH WILL DO BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA AS VIRGINIA MAXIMUS, INC. 03/05/2004

Sorry to give it that ugly format, but the more picturesque versions (which drag an image) tend to not show in different browers. So you get the warhorse version, with live links (I hope).

I then went right back to the “Business Search” (as in yesterday’s post) and typed in “C1618100” (easier than the whole name), remembering to check “Entity#” and got this:

Entity Number	Date Filed	Status	Entity Name	Agent for Service of Process
C1618100	06/30/1988	ACTIVE	MAXIMUS, INC.	CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY WHICH WILL DO BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA AS CSC – LAWYERS INCORPORATING SERVICE

Well perhaps THAT’s why we can’t keep up with all these stakeholders in the mediation (etc) and businesses of law — they have a faster than light incorporating service. . . . . .

Maximus (see narrow bar, above) has been doing in business in california since before welfare reform, and was in fact involved in it. I think that a contract with Los Angeles was one of the earliest one’s in the company’s history in this business.

Benefit from our Child Support Expertise

MAXIMUS professionals manage 40 percent of the privatized child support caseload in the United States and Canada today. All our services are supported through a team of CSE experts, which includes former state and local IV-D directors and others with significant child support legal, policy and operations experience. Our more than 660 CSE specialists have a shared passion and dedication for helping children and families obtain the resources they need.

As the local IV-D directors also (through fatherhood grants, etc.) have some say in child CUSTODY matters, this can get fairly interesting . . . ..

Child Welfare

MAXIMUS is committed to improving the welfare of the nation’s most vulnerable children by providing SSI Advocacy Services for children in foster care and providing Title IV-E, TANF, and Adoption Assistance Eligibility services for our government partners.

We partner with government clients and tailor our services to meet child welfare program goals. We are passionate about advocating for vulnerable populations, and our team brings a unique blend of knowledge, skills, and experience, which is unmatched by any other firm.

And partnerships with various regional nonprofit child support directors associations (see my recent posts for who is paying for that . . . . . )

Extending our reach through our valued partners (Affiliated Associations)

As a corporate member of several civic associations across the nation, MAXIMUS is dedicated to the business areas and communities in which we operate.

Eastern Regional Interstate Child Support Association   (ERICSA)
National Child Support Enforcement Association   (NCSEA)
Western Interstate Child Support Enforcement Council  (WICSEC) (active in California also, although our state one is “CSDA”)

About that 1988 incorporation date in California:

From wikipedia (just a reminder), Maximus started in 1975, in a garage in McLean Virginia:

History

MAXIMUS was founded by David Mastran, a Vietnam veteran and former government worker, in 1975 and was first incorporated as a privately held company in 1975. Mastran founded the company from his garage in McLean, Virginia.^[10]The company eventually went public on June 13, 1997.

So, it incorporated in California probably in order to do this:

Employment services

MAXIMUS began providing welfare-to-work services in 1988 with Los Angeles County’s decision to award the first welfare-to-work privatization contract in the nation. Today^[when?]MAXIMUS operates TANF programs in Los Angeles County; Alaska; San Diego; Orange County, California; Wisconsin; Maricopa County, Arizona; Nashville, Tennessee; and Cleveland, Ohio.

The company also runs One Stop Employment Centers, Veterans Employment Programs, and WIA Summer Youth Programs.^[14]\

Public obviously meaning it trades its stock, “MMS,” openly, and not just restricted to shareholders. Right now, that’s worth about . . . .

(. . No, I don’t know stocks either, just looking)

However, in 2007, it apparently was doing better, until it had to pay that $30 million in settling a whistleblower lawsuit from one of its own employees. This is a whistleblower law blog:

Posted on July 23, 2007 by LaBovick Law

Maximus, Inc. pays $30.5 Million to settle False Claims Act Case

“Helping the Government serve the People” is the tagline of Virginia based Maximus, Inc., latest corporate citizen entangled in a Medicaid fraud scam.

Unfortunately, this company needs a new tagline. The DOJ announced today that Maximus has agreed to pay $30.5 Million to settle qui tam lawsuit. The company admitted to their part in submitting fraudulent Medicaid claims for children who may not have received foster care services. Last September, at the end of their fiscal year the company reported earning $700 million in revenueand predicted a rosy forecast for 2007. Today the Maximus stock closed at $42.05, only down a slight 5% from earlier trading. I wonder, how they will project next year’s forecast, in wake of this scandal. It is a scandal, because the good name of this organization has been tarnished due to a few “greedy” and “unscrupulous” workers.

Thanks to the brave whistleblower, Benjamin Turner, a former division manager at Maximus, the acts and deeds of the corporate wrongdoers, did not go unpunished. In recognition for his efforts, Mr. Turner will receive $4.93 million as a result of filing a qui tam or whistleblower lawsuit under the provisions of the False Claims Act. There are times when a whistleblower gets compensated for his brave actions. And there are times when the whistleblower gets nothing, even after going to the Supreme Court, as in the case of Rockwell v. United States, as mentioned here previously on the Whistleblower Law Blog.

I’m just putting that in for reference, before posting this Disclosure from my state. I was talking about what it takes (financially, salaries) to run the SF Superior court a post or so ago. Well, here are some of the profits — including in both salary and “options” (that’s stock options, which have higher leverage and potential profits than plain stocks) for the executive directors.

Faster than thought: AFCC, in Illinois, Los Angeles, and Colorado (simultaneously):

NOW IT’S A LITTLE LATE IN THE DAY, BUT JUST FOR REFERENCE: At the end of the last post, I was re-posting some comments about what (the heck) is going on at 111 Hill Street in Los Angeles, and what has been — regarding the history of the AFCC.

If someone would like some proof or what is said at “Beware AFCC” (google it) and that Jessica Pearson, of Center for Policy Research, has organizational connections to the AFCC, which itself has direct connections of SOME sort, to the Los Angeles County Courthouse (at least the one at 111 Hill Street), I’ll give you this one:

Margaret Little (Ph.D.) in 2006 shows up on a Judicial Council Task force report (about abuses in probate conservatorships!) as this title:

Dr. Margaret Little

Family Law and Probate Administrator Superior Court of California,

County of Los Angeles

Topic of the report (which I just linked to), dated 9/18/2007 about how the courts responded to not internal controls, or complaints from litigants, but an expository (series?) from the Los Angeles Times! May there be a similar one on these topics in my lifetime! . . . Notice how “lack of resources” (rather than, say, corruption and inappropriate alliances between probate judges and public guardians) is cited as a cause of the troubles. I hope that by quoting this you don’t lose sight of the tri-state corporate identity of (AFCC), above, or its significance:

Final Report of the Probate Conservatorship Task Force (Action Required)

Issue Statement

The administration and management of probate conservatorship cases in the state of California was recently placed under scrutiny through a series of Los Angeles Times articles that raised concerns that some conservatees were being subjected to abusive practices. Of particular concern were the inappropriate granting of temporary conservatorships on ex parte petitions, lack of proper oversight of accountings, abusive practices of private professional conservators including improper billings, lack of sufficient notice to conservatees and their families, and inadequate protections of the rights of conservatees. Although there are courts and counties with exemplary programs, many others do not appear to be able to provide the services and oversight necessary to ensure that conservatees are protected and receive proper care and treatment. This inability is often due to a lack of resources and, in some cases, gaps in existing statutes, rules, and guidelines.

Recognizing these challenges, in January 2006 the Chief Justice established the Probate Conservatorship Task Force and charged it with conducting a top-to- bottom review of the probate conservatorship system in California

Dr. Margaret Little is involved in Family and Probate Courts, and was the registered agent (if anyone had started a lawsuit, she’d have received the paperwork) for ASSOCIATION OF FAMILY CONCILIATION COURTS with ILLINOIS jurisdiction and DENVER place of business, probably while back then also on the public payroll for the County of Los Angeles. Makes you think, huh? Since then (2010) she was a member of the “Elkins Family Law Task Force” as Senior Administrator (in the same area), and was cited by a 2001-licensed Child Forensic Psychologist (Marlene Valter, Psy.D.) as having conducted the following training (it’s a “vita,” I searched for “Margaret Little”). Note the following seminar listed, same year and who sponsored it!:

2003 Domestic Violence Training for Child Custody Evaluators and Mediators; Los Angeles, CA; January 23; Coordinator: Margaret Little, Ph.D.; Sponsored by Los Angeles County Family Court Services. (4 hours)

2003 Managing Parent-child Reunification in Alienation and Abduction Cases. Burbank, CA; September 25; presenters: various; Sponsored by Judicial Council of California Administrative Office of the Courts. (3 hours)

If we look at this Pepperdine-trained person, it’s clear a lot of her work life has been in the los Angeles County System, not to mention around AFCC, heavily so:

CHILD CUSTODY FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY SPECIALTY TRAINING:

2008 AFCC-CA Annual Conference: Abduction, Risk, and Response; Ethical and

Effective Coaching of One Parent During a Child Custody Evaluation; Domestic Violence;

MARLENE W. VALTER, PSY.D.

PAGE 2Private Life, Public Parenting-Is a Parent’s Sexual Behavior Relevant?; The Impact of Celebrity

on the lives of Children; Therapeutic Interventions. Santa Monica, CA; Sponsored by AFCC and Los Angeles County Superior Court. (12 hours)

2008 Domestic Violence Training for Child Custody Evaluators; Santa Monica, CA; In collaboration with AFCC/CA Chapter. (4 hours)

2007 Annual Update for Custody Evaluators: The Steve Frankel Group, June 19. Online Presenter: Philip Stahl, Ph.D., ABPP. (8 hours)

(Philip Stahl is straight PAS-promoter, and quite AFCC, currently in Arizona…)

As far back also as 1991, here is an article by Margaret A. Little, funded in part (it says) by a grant from the “California Judicial Council” (too bad the TAGGS.hhs.gov database doesn’t go back that far), published in the “FAMILY AND CONCILIATION COURTS REVIEW.” Other than giving a background history of Hofstra University in NY which helps publish this with AFCC, I don’t know how much more plainly I could point to who is running the family court services basically around the country..

The Impact of the Custody Plan on a Family: A Five-Year Follow-up

(for what Trish Wilson has to say on this, in 2002 (the 11-year followup?) see HERE at “The Liz Library” it appears to be commenting on the same article, in re: joint custody.)

1991 – 5 = 1986 – 5 = when the above-listed California “foreign” corporation, predecessor of AFCC, had to surrender its business license. I imagine these people know exactly what they are doing corporately in moving fro in-state to out of state. I can’t say the same for every young proselyte that graduates into the system, whether through Fuller Theological Seminary,** in the area, or Pepperdine, also in the general area (Malibu) or wherever

(** this mini-section added 8/25, and I am posting some material on Fuller today as well. Both are Christian-oriented groups who have really pushed into the business realm surrounding the courts, through graduate psychology, marital studies, and as to Pepperdine University School of Law’s emphasis on Dispute Resolution, churning out professionals at a high rate that my research keeps running into as I chase down nonprofits, delinquent and active both).

Think of the ramifications if AFCC is indeed the shape-shifting, tax-evading, court-controlling group it certainly appears to be!

SO WHEN MARV BRYER RAVED ABOUT AFCC’S ROAMING INCORPORATION HISTORY . . .

So when Marv Bryer, raving almost, states “incredulous” things (like, over a decade ago) like this (quoted from Liz Richards NAFCJ site this time) . . . .

In 1981 – I presume their bank account was still open and they created a new identity called the Association of Family Conciliation Courts. This time – Margaret Little – FAMILY COURT SERVICES for LOS ANGELES, and a Colorado individual named Jessica Pearson orchestrated yet another version of the LOS ANGELES COUNTY COURTHOUSE SCHEME. Pearson borrowed the EIN of the WISCONSIN AFCC and claimed her office was in Colorado as an ILLINOIS corporation. The LOS ANGELES COUNTY COURTHOUSE became PEARSON’S and Dr MARGARET LITTLE’S California – FOREIGN – CORPORATION.

. . . He’s not nuts. I just showed you.

Also, looks like they had to give it up.

NB: i showed you the Los Angeles County Judges’ Association last post. Wasn’t it still out of 111 Hill?

Noncustodial Parent Programs

Boulder County Parent Opportunity Program (POP) Policy Studies Inc. has operated a Welfare-To-Work (WtW) program for non-custodial parents (NCP) in Boulder County since 2002. The program helps NCPs who are unemployed, underemployed, or having trouble meeting their child support obligations. The POP helps these parents overcome barriers to employment by linking them with services in the community or through allowable WtW funds. The program has been instrumental in helping clients increase their wages, child support payments, and visitation with their children. Primary Contact: John Mahaney, .
El Paso County Parent Opportunity Program (POP) This program is in its seventh year of operation. During the first three years, it operated under a federal grant to develop an innovative approach to create a strong community effort serving noncustodial parents who lacked the means to support their children. The POP now operates as a partnership between the El Paso County Department of Social Services, Policy Studies Inc. (PSI), the Center on Fathering and Goodwill Industries. These partners work in coordination with other community agencies to provide services including employment and training, mediation, parent education, child support assistance and community referrals to unemployed and under-employed non-custodial parents and their families. Recently, POP has partnered with the Pikes Peak Workforce Center to help them serve noncustodial parents eligible for WtW services. An evaluation of the first three years of the program is available upon request. Primary contact:Chad Eddinger, Project lead, El Paso Department of Human Services .

Guess who was probably paying (now that I’m on that web page, which comes generally speaking under HHS == tax distribution agent of the U.S. Government) for these:

Faith-Based and Community Organization Activities

On October 1^st and 2^nd, 2004, The Colorado Collaborative for FatherHood and Families, and the Fatherhood Coalition of Metro Denver co-sponsored a kick-off training conference called Journey to Manhood, attended by nearly 30 local fatherhood providers and fathers interested in training. Presenters included James Rodriguez of the Arizona Fatherhood Collaborative and ACF staff. This was the opening session of a one-year certificate program in Fatherhood to be offered by Red Rocks Community College.

Also on October 1^st, 2004, the Fatherhood Steering Committee of the Colorado Department of Human Services, with support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, held a Stakeholders Forum. Many excellent presentations were offered by local fatherhood experts on how to make organizations more father-friendly, and how to address barriers that keep fathers from full participation in child welfare organizations.

The 14^th Annual Expanding the Visions Conference was held on March 20, 2004. This event, sponsored by the Denver African-American Leadership Conference, was attended by approximately 1,000 boys and their dads. Several hundred packets of ACF-related information were distributed to attendees. This information focused on how to be a great dad and strategies for avoiding divorce.

Colorado Springs, Colorado: Approximately 200 dads and daughters participate annually in the Father-Daughter Purity Ball. The centerpiece of this evening of formal dinner and dancing is always the reading of a pledge by the dads to model purity and integrity for their daughters and to do all they can to protect their purity.

In Douglas County, Colorado, Extension Agent Rich Batten has established a monthly e-mail letter for those interested in fatherhood advocacy and committed to increasing the probability of every child being intimately connected to an involved, responsible and loving father or father figure.

The Denver Indian Family Resource Center has begun a Young Men’s Sweat Lodge project, which includes fathers and male mentors. Seven sweats have been held so far.

Sorry, this post was less about the title’s Suspended, etc. — but bet it was informative. Namely, the appearance of detachment and belonging to separate entities (when one awards and compliments the other) dissipates when the connections between associations are traced at the corporate level.

Since then, AFCC has straighted up and incorporated in a California Chapter. At least the “incorporated in California Chapter” part I can vouch for:

Too bad I wasn’t checking here in 2010 and earlier; looks like they got their 2011 warning letter too! if it doesn’t show here, go to the site and read it, bottom document under “first delinquency notice.” Cute!

It got slapped up on the site crooked. Looks like someone was in a hurry!

Just a reminder: They are addressing an organization comprised of judges and attorneys, etc. Isn’t that sweet, reminding them of the law?

________________

________________
("DONATE" 4/2022 Narration):

(This Narrative across 5 text boxes below, here for a few weeks only). More Navigation widgets below//LGH:
(Section #1 of 5) ~
WHY MORE DONATE BUTTONS NOW? For one, because I have to focus on moving (again), but also because see rapid changes in Family Court Reform / VAWA which need to be addressed and hope after the move to get right back on it...
_________
**(Cont'd from Widget Title, "I blog since 2009,...) ..having (just barely) survived a decade of battering (DV) + a Calif. SF BayArea Family Court Gauntlet + Aftermath..
_________
Donations are not tax-deductible because (so far) I've resisted forming a tax-exempt entity or selling books and consulting: instead I blog the tax-exempt sector. Also in my situation, privacy increases safety (re: adult family members), publicity decreases it. Without a certain confidence in safety, I don't function well.
_________
My blog features public/private money trails, especially from the USA federal faucet and related to key legislation passed in the 1990s, NEGATIVELY impacting domestic violence advocacy and the country's family courts. I do this with How-To's (How I Do This). Show Me ONE other survivor blog that does this... I uncovered trends going back, some, a hundred years, designed to break down USA internal (domestic) and external (international) jurisdiction barriers with the most power going to whoever endorses this policy (it's a type of colonization), in a system rigged against those who simply don't.
_________
I discovered and talk about built-in "black holes of unaccountability" system-wide.
_________
...but, I am a senior facing yet another imminent housing move and all associated costs, mid-May, 2022... as before, without credit and without job stability. I still do not have a destination (new housing) or even know whether to stay in the same city (unlikely), or state. But certain FamilyCourt / abuse prevention policy issues don't wait for individuals' convenience: See hashtags #FamilyCourtReformists #NFVLCgwu and #NSPC (NationalSafeParents.org, website released only Feb. 4, 2022) on my Twitter.

_________

(#2 of 5) ~ The "VAWA Reauthorization with' Kayden's Law' triumph" is a false victory and seeks to co-opt control of how DV is handled and deliver it into the hands of those who condone flaw-riddled logic and into places where money is simply not trackable: more "technical assistance and training."
_________
Those FamilyCourtReformists (my term) who helped this happen (so they say), it's obvious (and I blogged as it came up) have all along sought to obtain a piece of the "technical assistance and training" pie --taxpayer funded --maintain a reputation for being "the good guys" in this mix. In that paradigm, the T&TA infrastructure and massive conflicts of interests with the public interest, in sectors these didn't yet reign supreme, of course couldn't be "outed." Lone investigative bloggers and reporters (I wasn't the only one; maybe one of the more persistent ones, but not the only one) who were also survivors (knew what this system does personally), had to be and have been discredited through dismissal or silence (shunning, social media-wise). We don't get referrals and we do get blocked -- a lot. The treatment is much like the abuse (we) lived with earlier... but coming from those who claim to be concerned about our kind.
_________
All this is far beyond just routine betrayal of those for whom concern is claimed. It is not the product of being innocently ignorant or mistaken (I've documented that extensively, see my last post of 2014, for one example). It's self-aggrandizement and callous indifference to factors reasonably known which would (in a flash) dismantle the primary premises of VAWA reauthorized with "Kayden's Law."
_________
From what I can see, Canada's "Keira" law is similar, and promoters of one promote the other. At least two of Keira's professionals that her mother cited, were AFCC, and US Family Courts are saturated with its members, including judges yet this is rarely mentioned. I mention it anyway... as an archetype of how practices lead to "Promising practices" then "Pilots" then, the goal is, legislation: more forced consumption of trainings without analyzing (openly...) the existing trainings in any critical fashion and certainly not from the economic/accounting lens -- no matter how much public money is involved.
_____
Legislators whose states receive both fathers' rights (under Welfare Reform) and "prevent violence against women" (VAWA/ FVSPA funds) aren't going to call this out: it's political credibility with half their voters. Individuals knowledgeable about the system and its characteristics must. UNINFORMED on any agenda = cannot consent to an agenda = social engineering, not representative government. NB: While I live USA I do not only follow or blog these issues in USA. It's being taken global from the start.
_________
I identified called out this trend and these tactics vigorously in 2014. I personally several of the trends promoters and promoting orgs., and where these were nonprofits, the same nonprofits' filing habits -- several from Northern California area, an I literally had to flee in Summer 2018. I still have to move again while for safety (involving certain family members/a trust is involved) maintain privacy. After this next move, which intends to at least halve living expenses (and get to where I can raise a few vegetables at least!) publish at least from this blog, and form a nonprofit, finally. But, I will NOT be peddling curricula or "train-the-trainer" trade-marked certifications or trade associations.

(#3 of 5) ~ Women in my situation are geographically widespread and often under prolonged legal and financial attack; it's hard to maintain prolonged collaborations on individual projects, let alone more substantial ones -- but our being under such pressures is no excuse for #familycourtreformist fake advocacy that encourages us to sabotage ourselves according to an agenda by those who've not been through what we have, or for nearly so long. I'm referring to work/housing/social support - engagement life disruptions. For more details, read more of the blog!
____
Once you basically understand (understand the basics I've been presenting all along), to publicize the blog would also help (always include a shortlink).
___
My perspective hasn't been debated or dismantled by any court-connected professionals, lawyers, or DV advocacy groups, but many of these are well aware of both it and similar (and linking) material on Twitter. Some have recently blocked me on Twitter, probably because my straightforward questions, or pointing out the missing or noncompliant (corporate) filing habits interfere with (their) propaganda and agenda -- So what? Does this make truth disappear?

____

(#4 of 5) ~ ...I haven't given up the belief that this level of truth-telling has had some impact to date, and could have even more substantial impact, but then again, I have a core center of faith and sense of right and wrong. Chronic lying, avoidance and censorship of known, relevant information to the targeted market is wrong!
___
So is promoting and persuading (recruiting to persuade) traumatized or vulnerable individuals and the public to promote marketing phrases which, per se, are ludicrous -- like "keeping children safe IN family courts" or "Coercive Control" (what, then, is "non-coercive control" -- is it still control? Why not just call it coercion? Why that phrase and not a more accurate one? Sure, the experience of being inappropriately controlled to the point of enslavement could be called "coercive" like trying to prevent one's children from being kidnapped or abused might make one, in a stretch of the meaning of language, be somewhat "protective" -- but these same phrases have different significance to those marketing them.)
_____
Why should we rally for justice, due process, or equal rights as human beings (and citizens of each respective country) under our laws, under such fuzzy and elastic terms? Before these, there were other, equally ridiculous ones, and only late-stage fools (speaking of those who've been around long enough to know better) wouldn't recognize which private, tax-exempt associations (respectively) are promoting them, and making money/selling product off it, both coming, and going...
______
I have a core center of faith -- not gullibility, not religiosity, and not circumstance-based -- which in some ways, defines "faith." So do many mothers I know, whether or not they lead with the religious wording: we aren't fighting just for ourselves. We are the real stakeholders, along with the taxpaying public who ought to understand just exactly in what manners their credibility (and pre-occupation with other things) has been taken advantage of, and exploited to continue the roadkill, bloodshed of innocents, and yes, trafficking of vulnerable human beings, male, female, young, and old. We will not shut up while still alive, and we are not going away from this debate, but we could use a little moral, and often some financial support.

___

(#5 of 5) ~ This five-segment explanation + "Pls. Donate" may not be up here long, I hope it's understood while it is.//LGH
___
I'm not asking for the thousand-dollar donations or all your personal information but for expressions of support: $10-25-$50 is magnificent, especially from people who may be aware of my contributions over time or aware of the situation but unable to devote as much time to what investigation and blogging what we find, teaching and re-teaching basic principles and vocabulary as I do. I have acknowledged and over time expressed thanks to those who pointed me in this direction, but this is my own work.
____
I do not work with people who historically withhold information (and how and where they found it)with intent to publish and become THE "go-to" authority on the family court gauntlets and systems yet (several I'm aware of, also knowing long-term of this blog) refuse to do enough homework to be able to show HOW they came to their conclusions and overview, yet won't link to blogs and people (and yes, I am one) who have.
___

Storytelling with a focus on the storyteller (and his/her "friends") deliberately withholds the tools and terminology leading to concepts to get people "up to speed" i.e., up to speed efficiently getting to more solid ground of non-hearsay evidence, logically solid ground, and able to prove or disprove the storyteller's conclusions. Those who want expert (storytelling) status should be able to handle criticism and argue their points openly, in public. It takes time, practice, effort, and dedication to understanding what one sees, to get there . . . but not decades or even a half decade.

_____
Meanwhile, I have another post in the pipeline, nearly read to go, and to get out today... Thank you for reading this far and for anything you may contribute to me (and, it does go to me) for this cause, even knowing in advance it's likely not tax-deductible.// LGH-FCM, 26 April 2027.

My drill-down led me to better understanding of 1985ff (now, as 2 merged centers) Wellesley Center for Women's (WC4W's) historic psychoanalysis/ psychology focus and how funders of this influential, well-endowed, private, Boston-area, all-woman college's influential reporting (2002, example shown) are still effectively driving DV and VAWA policy.

(While published May 14, 2022, this post came from a related one, published May 12 but drafted Fall, 2021). THEME #1: The BELEAGUERED v. the UNBELEAGUERED. (THEME #2 is: UNFREEZE – CHANGE – REFREEZE) This dynamic, The BELEAGUERED (first by in-home abuse and violence, then in the Family Courts, as people attempt to […]

May 12, 2022]. May 12, 2022
Before you read this post perhaps read the lead-in, at The Widening Credibility Gap between the Long-Term, Chronic Family-Court-Beleagured and the UNbeleagured FamilyCourtReform/ist + DV Advocacy Experts Reporting on (Us) [May 4, 2022] (short-link ends “-eus” which seems appropriate to the topic here). …. if I’ve published it by then.

In this post, “NSPC” represents the website National Safe Parents Coalition which became active shortly before February 9, 2022 — it seems to be February 4 — obviously timed as something to refer to and publicize an VAWA reauthorization testimony featuring Angela Jolie and others, and (yet another) law named after a needlessly murdered child. This time, […] […]
Revisiting and Remembering National NOW’s “Six Core Issues,” Like Number Two: “Ending Violence Against Women,’ vis-a-vis How Far Down A. Domestic Violence and B. “The Family Court Crisis” Are Buried.. and Several NOW IRS Forms 990 [April 28, 2022]. April 29, 2022
I was curious whether “NOW” is no longer a force to be reckoned with for women’s rights, despite some high-profile individuals involved with NOW criticizing others who aren’t doing what they haven’t, yet, either. (See previous post, link below). What I found at apps.IRS.gov/app/eos/: (“EOS” for “Exempt Organizations Search”): many scattered and (for the mos […]

USA’s DV Advocacy Infrastructure Looks, Sounds and Quacks Like the BCCI Scam, 1970-1990. [Posted April 21, 2022]. April 21, 2022
As previously threatened (?) or promised (see Twitter image, below next quotes), I re-allocated about one-third of my previous post (published April 19, 2022), the extended preview section, then, on reconsidering, the whole section on the main topic it discussed: why I believe that topic relates to USA’s domestic violence advocacy Infrastructure.

This post was prompted by an article put out nearly two years ago by George Washington University’s Communications Services, domain name “GWUToday.GW.edu,” that I only noticed nearly two years later. I’ll show how I came across certain information and decided this might as well be an example to talk about how “task forces” are presented […]

This Absolutely Uncommon Analysis shouldn’t be! **

**Summer, 2019, Update/s: This widget formerly called "Contributions Welcome & Needed/Thanks." Its full contents are now on a separate post (linked above and below) and I'm deciding how much, if any, of this one to keep in place here..//LGH.

This Absolutely Uncommon Analysis shouldn't be!

What I do here: I expose the Systems Design, and the Designers, so Y.O.U. can Show Others, and to notify those playing certain games, "you've been flagged."

Heard of "disruptive technologies?" Disruptive innovations?
Well, this is a disruptive blog. I give people who've already been strung out and stripped down BY the system another place to stand and look at it, and a clear, fairly diagnostic language (vs. pretty logos and moving pictures) to describe it to others. AND, which many don't do, I tell how I found the information; links databases and all.

Despite the blog's appearance, I know what I'm doing! You're looking at long-term leverage, in the hands of the "non-experts," in the public interest, not public funded propaganda to drive business to private pockets. Hence, I'm not afraid to ask:

The formula for this public/private business model isn't really that complex, but the concept itself was just so devious, insidious, parasitic, grandiose, and by now, so baked into the economic, institutional infrastructure, people either don't notice, or, in a common, cowardly, but all too human response they see, and just start denying, or looking for nicer explanations of an ugly truth -- where it's heading. For lack of nicer, but still honest terms, it's heading towards yet more slavery (and tolerating it) and genocide (and tolerating it). [[2019 comments: and the ability to drive the U.S., in particular, into even more, bigger, and more costly/dangerous wars, discrediting us (further) internationally. But I wrote this sidebar many years ago..]]

As a woman, mother, a family court and domestic violence survivor [yes, he was a hitter, and more], who has already 'faced the music' in more ways than I can count, to the best of my ability, I do not do "denial." I also ask the public, what's left of it, to just not go down that Denial Road, and with it lose more of their innate humanity, perception, and ethics. There is another way out, one with a conscience:

Really want system change? Make up your mind to understand government financing -- change yourself first. Find and read your local "CAFR" (government's Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports), a wonderful source of information, with flow chart, descriptions of component or blended government units it's reporting on, and reporting the balances in each fund -- ever heard of a "Balance Sheet"? Looking for this also reveals just how many governmental business entities ARE there? Find them. Read. Think about what you see. What does it mean?

Governments tend to pool their investments, for example, "CALPERS" (essentially created ca. 1931) is the largest "public pension" investing platform around, or at least in the country. Getting started earlier sure helped, then adding players (subscribers) over time ALSO did. In 1985, add "CII" Council on Institutional Investors (members: in 31states and D.C.) (LA Times 1985 article on Calif. Politician (state treasurer, assembly speaker) Unruh whose idea it was for the Council so institutional funds could "flex their muscle"; and push for corporate governance reform. CII members now control $3 trillion of assets)-- my point being, government holdings are invested and when pooled like this, are major clout, but the average person never reads even a single government entity's annual financial reports to take a look. (I wasn't aware of them til 2012!)

Governments not only invest their funds in business, they also by legislation, patenting, and protections, set them up to win, or lose. So, "know thy government" is a great place to start. (See blog/see links in the blog).
