*AFCC was originally established in California as the means to enact Conciliation Court Law (CA Family Codes 1800-1852), an obscure set of codes used to prevent divorce in counties where the court itself deems it necessary to “promote the public welfare by preserving, promoting, and protecting family life and the institution of matrimony”. [15] While the Conciliation Court identifies children’s rights to “both parents”, it is used only to assist fathers take custody away from mothers and/or to otherwise gain inappropriate or illegal “access” to children. Enacting Conciliation Court Law gives the family court jurisdiction over domestic violence cases, in violation of appropriate family codes and “child’s best interests” laws.

[CONCILIATION COURTS = a major JURISDICTION GRAB] How does structuring conciliation codes and forming conciliation courts to re-classify domestic violence and child abuse help nonviolent men and good fathers? Not much!! Should this be corrected by better-trained experts, or retraction of the problematic legislation and associated courts set up steer profits to cronies?] I have to consider the timeframe of initial exposure of the federally-incentivitized “train-the-trainers” racket (at least by Year 2002) to the decision to set up a series of conferences NOT exposing the racket run by people back then already informed of it, 2003ff. And I did — see 3/29/2014 post, “A Different Kind of Attention,” As such, they have habitually misled (failed to properly inform) devotees on the relationship between the federal and state government, the influence of key nonprofit corporations staffed by judges, custody evaluators, parent coordinators, and GALs on family law and family and conciliation courts.  [2013 Family Courts in Crisis Newsletter references AFCC in one speaker bio, but says nothing about who it is, or what it represents].

A ten-year roster of BMCC speakers does not feature anyone who has exposed this, or is likely to.   Dr. Phyllis Chesler (hover cursor on BMCC link, above), writes on major, politically and internationally relevant issues, particularly Islamic gender apartheid and its consequences to women. 

In  “The Violent Oppression of Women in Islam” (by Spencer/Chesler, co. 2007 David Horowitz Freedom Center), ” readers are informed that the problems in American society (i.e. oppression of women) are “trivial” and a “narcissistic obsession” of feminists: 

Feminists realize that they will become increasingly irrelevant if they do not break free of their narcissistic obsession with the trivial problems they find in American society and look to the Muslim world where women are violently oppressed in real time every day of their lives. (fr. p. 13 of 17pp)

[**hover cursor over both links for my comments.  This is a cached version, current website is “down for a bit”)] Trivial problems by comparison — true, but, BMCC deals with the US court system. Dr. Chesler has been aware of the federal incentives to the courts since at least 2005.

From California (at the same 2013 BMCC conference), “CPPA” all but claims ownership of “the protective mothers’ movement.”

BMCC Sat 5/11/13 a.m. (same link), combined session after break: 10:30 -11:30 …….CONNIE VALENTINE, MARALEE MCLEAN, & DAMON:The Protective Mothers Movement: History in the Making We will give a sweeping overview of historical precedents leading up to and creating the current crisis in the family courts. This crisis has resulted in over a million children being given to their identified batterers and molesters. Connie Valentine has been a major activist and leader in the protective mothers movement over the past two decades.Maralee McLean is a protective mother and author of Prosecuted But Not Silenced: Courtroom Reform for SexuallyAbused Children. Sarah Schottenstein is one of the courageous kids who were “raised by the courts” and are nowspeaking out

While these groups provide temporary comfort and contact among traumatized, distressed, or outraged parents, a warm, nurturing, or discharge-my-outrage, blanket for that trauma and distress and a sense of purpose, they are also selling (false) hope and treating adult mothers like children by omitting KEY factors in the field.  What’s more, the typical presenter  (professional or published author, not referring to nonprofessional mothers telling horror stories)  are less than honest about who else they have all along been “friends with,” which displays an agenda.

Prepare to have that blanket away, properly — it’s not protection anyhow! (and don’t shoot the messenger!).  It begins:

Between “Pts.1” [1a and 1b] and “Pt.2” I expect to post more material on the Family Court Enhancement Project (“FCEP”), which I understand is all the talk about town (i.e., on the internet in these circles (use your search function to find some of it…).   So the title of this blog refers to a series.  It is a natural continuation of the recent (and from May 2012) “Parades, Charades and Facades,” and my posting this is keeping a personal promise (to myself) for the year 2014, to expose what’s underneath the rhetoric.

The “Broken Courts, Flawed Practices” court reform group’s leadership it seems was all along setting their sights on becoming the subject matter experts for this exact type of FCEP project, i.e., public recognition and with it, potential related spinoff income from close association with the “source,” i.e., with people managing the funding stream out of the USDOJ (among other places)’s  Office of Violence Against Women  $400 million budget, and direction of public (federal) money funding grants stemming from the VAWA (Violence Against Women Act).  

Same concept as pushing marriage/fatherhood programming through the welfare distribution network. Talk about “captive audiences” and mass-marketing!:

The MRT Domestic Violence Batterer’s Program The MRT® Domestic Violence program is an evidence-based process designed to meet all minimum standards for Batterers’ Intervention Programs. The Bringing Peace to Relationships workbook [@$10; facilitator’s guides, @$25] is based on the guiding principle and outline of our MRT power and control program approach and is appropriate for both male and female batterers. The MRT approach uses a positive group dynamic to alter inappropriate thought and behavior in batterers. The MRT model is a cognitive-behavioral program designed to change how batterers think (beliefs) and change behavior to one of equality and acceptance.*** The designers of the MRT® cognitive-behavioral approach have long seen behavior as learned and capable of being changed through altering beliefs and habits

Whether or not that behavior IS capable of being changed, the profits are made in the certification of people to run the classes, and in the running of them. See “Exposing and Prosecuting….” post

Most people aren’t aware that the FAMILY courts are actually modeled after DRUG Courts, and at their essence stem from the Behavioral Health field.  WHhich means, ordering services and classes to get that behavior altered.  Many people end up in family court after being unable to personally shift criminal behaviors in a partner, i.e., child abuse or domestic violence.

For those, see the blurb here on “CCI” (Privately held company which developed, after behavioral modification techniques were developed on federal prison population in Tennessee, 1979-1983:

Correctional Counseling, Inc.: The initial development and testing of the MRT method occurred between 1979 and 1983 at the Federal Correctional Institute in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1985, a refined version of MRT was implemented in a Drug  Treatment  therapeutic community prison program at the Shelby County Correction Center which is now known as the Shelby County Division of Correction. Correctional Counseling was formed in 1987as a subsidiary of a privately held behavioral health hospital company. In 1990 CCI was established as free standing privately held company to further design, research and implement programs that can make a difference in people’s lives.  Since then, the firm has delivered cognitive-behavioral treatment programs to hundreds of correctional agencies and more than 1 million offenders under these agencies’ supervision.  In 1987 CCI began offering workshop trainings and consulting services to correctional agencies to implement cognitive-behavioral treatment programs.  Dr. Robinson remains the firm’s president today

Dr. Robinson:   “Dr. Robinson received his Doctor of Education degree in educational psychology and counseling and his Master of Science degree in psychology from Memphis State University. ”   MRT(tm) moves to California’s overflowing prisons, AB109, 2011

So we see the fields of education and psychology thrive when there are captive audiences and many masses to test techniques on. (cf. compulsory K-12 education)…The public funds most of this, but the profits generated are often private. AS ARE some of the prisons (see “CCA” and “shareholders”)

Excerpt: Conceptual Thinking (understanding systems) is Essential to Freedom. Networking for mutual self-support groups is wonderful, but failure by support groups to scout why one needed them to start with, is suicidal, in the long run. Support groups simply go form their silos of information and shun information which doesn’t fit with the status quo.

This is a great way to overspecialize and become an extinct species. We HAVE to be able to speak a language that incorporates understanding of the systems that structure our lives. We aren’t. There are crackups, domestic violence, gang violence, and various kinds of “roadkill,” to which people have conveniently (for those who DO understand systems, and own them) self-separated into their groups by label: Protective Mothers, Battered Mothers, Fathers’ Rights, Family Values vs. Pro Choice, etc.

Have you ever seen skilled sheepdogs in action? Consider what they do — they face off with the sheep; one dog can control a sizeable clump. Now — who does the sheepdog answer to and who feeds and trains him? Now, who pays the man (or woman, I suppose) who trains, feeds, and runs the sheepdogs? The real question is, who owns the ranch. And that’s what family court reform groups (male or female) simply forget to specialize in, and train each other to respond to signals from, that is, to respond as the owner of the ranch might — not as the sheep might.

Nevertheless, there are still clues. First of all, when a Governor declares it’s National Fatherhood month, that is talking about getting grants, and redistributing. …. Another issue (not dealt with here, but to be aware of), is that fatherhood funding (and that could either be for marketing curriculum, or outreach to provide free legal advice in custody matters; both show up) is often directed to or through Children’s Trust Funds (in various states).As often happens when I go look for an example for such a statement, I end up finding something even more extensive and disturbing. It’s like a bottomless chasm. This time was no exception, but I had the sense to know it belongs in a separate post…. Arrrgh!!!

To understand some of this is to wish never to go back to “numb and dumb” again. And I know people who have been put homeless by these programs, which wouldn’t have been, without them. That’s six feet higher than some people who have been killed because of the insane insistence that gender matters more than character when it comes to kids. It doesn’t! …. However, that alone is more about marketing than anything else, I believe.

These organizations know very well that there are federal (and through federal, state, county, etc.) funding streams arranged around certain themes.   These are the irrigation system (outflow) from the centralized collection system we now know as the United States of America (Federal Government).  So they set themselves up to get the grants.

If you finish reading about some of the personnel involved in the Michigan example below, and also hooked up with the Supervised Visitation/Batterers Intervention Program industry (which has  Coalition based in Michigan as well, logo below), in looking at its board — I saw several high-ups in the Michigan DHS department (hardly surprising).  Duane M. Wilson, Ismael Ahmed/Stanley M. Stewart (top DHS leadership), Debi Cain, and others show up in this 2009 report on “out of state travel” expenses.  Please browse with care — you can see what memberships and conferences some state personnel are being flown to.

http://www.michigan.gov/documents/dhs/DHS-Legislative-Sec217-3-PA248-2008-Travel_263086_7.pdf 

People in each state ought to get hold of their respective reports, to see what their leadership (gov’t HHS dept) has been up to in:  fatherhood promotion, child support enforcement, marriage promotion, DV prevention, and a WHOLE lot more.  . . .(this is fascinating detail — as we are paying Federal and State funding) airfare for our own employees to fly around the country and be trained in private nonprofit association conferences how to help (or screw) the public better — or at least in a more coordinated manner….

[So], Duane M. Wilson (below) was flown in March 2008 to attend a Marriage/Fatherhood Conference in San Francisco, and Stanley M. Stewart (involved in State DHS and this Batterers Intervention Services MI Coalition, on its board) to attend an African American Healthy Marriage Conference in Charlotte, NC, etc.   The largest conferences (over $1,000 federal funding, plus some state) to attend seem to be related to child support.

Excerpt: There are people who make a living in evaluating federally -funded grants programs, such as Safe Exchange and Supervised Visitation. I have made a survey of the field, and a quick check of one of the major international nonprofit associations of providers, Supervised Visitation Network, and based on my sampling, plus field experiences, and supported by two DOJ/OIG audits of a certain grant promoting supervised visitation to both providers (regarding the fathers) and to Mothers, to indoctinate them into accepting the situation, I have come to the essential evaluation (which no DOJ grant was used in producing):Supervised Visitation, per se, SucksMy Field Exhibits includes two DOJ audits of Grant 2004-WX-AT-K046 (and related), and how grantees responded to being caught defrauding customers, i.e., US taxpayers. They regrouped and did it again elsewhere. You can sometimes spot these on the fly: Looks like another one:…

USDOJ Audit Reports are grouped into “By Component” and “External.” Notice the the OVW is “External” See next link to view the OVW audits, of which I randomly (really! in general, I was interested in Pennsylvania’s DV groups) chose to audit a certain one, and found material for this post… Office on Violence Against Women External Reports The Audit Division reports on the expenditure of federal funds by certain recipients of grants from the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). …

Page “3” footnote of PCAR audit, “Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape”, referencing $4 million (4 Technical Assistance Grantss) to PCAR fround $336K of questionable costs. The other (April 2010) audit was not to PCAR, but to the nonprofit NDAA, covering $16 million (16 grants) of which $4 million of questionable costs came up. Some of these questionable costs covered the Grant mentioned in this title, and to APRI (American Prosecutors Research Institute), which I happen to know some battered women love to quote as it talks about PAS. However, they don’t look at the financial angle enough to understand they just quoted an organization engaged in questionable financial practices!). That Grant 30-10-0001 is linked to & mentioned again below. My evaluation approach differs radically from approaches by, say, Dr. Daniel G. Saunders, Professor of Social Work a UMichigan, that Barry Goldstein keeps quoting and holding out as “new light” on how to protect children. While he and his colleagues publish – and do not perish– about these matters, we mothers (and fathers) (and taxpayers) ARE perishing surrounding the topic. I think I might blog that separately, but just FYI, he [Saunders] is on the same TYPE of grants streams as these other technical training and service providers.

ORPHANS: Where The Great Commission meets the Military-Industrial Complex

I had occasion to refer to the CCAI’s (Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute’s) original street address of 6723 Whittier Avenue, McLean, Virginia — which the inset table below points out. “ALWAYS LOOK UP STREET ADDRESSES OF NONPROFITS!” I dare anyone to connect the dots and tell me what the American Petroleum Institute has to do with the Christian Evangelism by Adoption Trade, and why so many Congresspeople are all excited about putting every adoptable infant into a nice Christian home. While travelling the globe to get them, sponsored by known connections with the very forces that make them.Orphans, that is. 

I know why certain kinds of Christians are interested. They believe (have been indoctrinated into) Matthew 28:18 “The Great Commission” –I also can kind of deduce why the Board Members of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CACI) might be heavily interested in maintaining close connections with Protestant Evangelical Franchise Operations and their mighty networks, and expertise at creating nonprofits under the religious umbrella.

[But] The next question that comes up — why are you and I funding and tolerating this? Have we, too, been indoctrinated that it’s somehow for our own good to connect helpless abandoned (presumably) infants from the corners of the globe with some of the most powerful institutions, and corporations, around — like the US Congress, a major private equity firm driven by its close connections with the American Intelligence Industry (CIA, etc.), and — well, let’s just take a look at it, OK? Is there no limit on this insanity, and our passivity?

[I believe this is a quote from Walter Burien — see post!] Through collective government investments from all individual governments across the United States, the government owns most of the major corporations in America, and beyond. I’ll say it again, in a different way. Collectively, through investment, the United States government owns most major corporations and just about everything else in America.

Look at a recent Wall Street Journal on how Private Equity Buyout Firms are now Building — Dams — instead:

Its owner isn’t a state utility or an energy giant. It is Blackstone Group LP, best known for corporate takeovers. The private-equity firm built the dam with partners and has a contract with energy-hungry Uganda to sell it power at rates that ensure profits for Blackstone for years to come.

May 15, 2013

[I WROTE ONE YEAR AGO — APRIL, 2013] We are in the realm of public direct payments to evangelical (faith-based) organizations — from HHS — for the primary purpose of evangelizing. It just so happens that these days many faith-based (Christian) organizations are evangelizing throught adoption, as they’ve been trained to. They have been social service organizations for many years as all, but the more I look at the tax exemption angle — and what churches are, meanwhile, doing to men, women and children in the name of God — I’m starting to understand this as every bit as much “PR” to make up for the damages as I also understand that the Rockefellers, Carnegies, Fords, MacArthurs, (Rhodes), Guggenheim, (Annie E. Casey) and etc. tremendous philanthropic organizations — donating millions (if not billions) to build libraries, concert halls, and other monumental institutions, are doing it (a) with taxes they didn’t pay and (b) with the profits from cartels, monopolies, and in general treating their menials like dirt, if not quite slave labor, and (c) for PR.

---

What do they have that wasn’t donated to them, or that the followers weren’t talked, or bullied (forced) into handing over? I mean, how many of us really have a say (agreed) to the special tax status churches enjoy and with which to expand infinitely (see internet) without having to file tax returns like regular nonprofits. And then how many nonprofits are simply situated right in church buildings? They cannot really stand independently of government while taking privileges from the same (collectively) to even exist. Meanwhile, government these days is using church-based networks for its own purpose and in my opinion, both have specialized in the hiding assets and money-laundering aspects (while covering up other kinds of abuse) from their followers.

---

This may not be universally true, but it is institutionally (and in general) true.

---

~ ~ ~ I was genuinely surprised to realize how blatantly this is happening as we speak.

---

I would love some morally justifiable excuse NOT to deliver this message, or to sugar-coat it, but see none… I would cut out entire sections, and more would grow in their place, as I continued simply telling what I see — and from government sources (databases, tax returns, corporate registrations, charitable registrations, and public websites advertising the same groups). Finally, it is just getting posted. The substance of it shows up in tables — if you do nothing else, scroll down to them and bypass narrative; AFTER running a search!

---

So, this post got its start an “Adoption Opportunities” grant series I found (foster care and adoption has been on my mind a while — see page in Children’s Law Centers (NCLN) which thrive off this — and this industry has affected family courts also, by way of promoting the use of GALs for custody cases with even a smidgen of conflict (or domestic violence). To better understand it, please read the comments thread at the bottom of the March 30, 2013 post.

---

. . . We are talking about the influences of religious groups on removing children from competent women by fetching men out of prison to fight them for custody. /// The comment came from an independent single mother, and I am familiar with the case, including the prison docket. Any number of mothers coming out of the “faith” tradition (from sort of religious background) could’ve written some version of the same theme — we used to believe that living a responsible, adult, and solvent life, raising kids to respect the law, like we did, and paying our own way in general — would be sufficient. Or that even staying off welfare was good enough.

---

In this country, it no longer is. ANYONE [woman] who has children and either doesn’t marry to start with, or doesn’t stay in the relationship, is at risk of having to personally take on the weight of this industry, while being treated like a pariah by the faith-based community for not holding on to a man, abuse or no abuse. And EVERYONE, from what I’ve learned, is participating in this cruelty — by funding it, unawares or awares. It’s about the federal funding to the states….

FUND-a-Mentals of Conciliation Court: Who Holds the Keys to the Vault / See the Matrix

In this blog, I have wished to focus more on economics and operations of courts, grants, corporations, etc. than of rhetoric or ideology.  This post is an exception.

[THIS POST STAYS IN MOTION (REVISION) AS I LEARN MORE, AND IS  CRITICAL TO UNDERSTANDING THE “HEARTBEAT” OF THE FAMILY LAW SYSTEM,* IN MY OPINION, AS WELL AS THOSE WHO SEEK TO FIX IT.  MAKING A DECISIONS (YES, OR NO) ON THE CONTENT IS A GAME-CHANGER.  PLEASE CONSIDER!!!]

{*Whose originators’ systems-change goals, which I can (and as I recall it does) prove, as did looks like Mr. Masson in the 1980s,  included (1) to change the language of criminal law into the language of behavioral science, as per AFCCnet.org History page, etc., and (2) in the process, to guarantee the future of their prized professions, and ensure (3) access to vulnerable kids by  future generations of child-abusers, is not cut off.  Yes it absolutely does also dovetail into historic cultural views of women and mothers. 

I quote from people who claim to be the founders.  

Where these professions fit in the question of violent assaults upon children, and violent wars of domination against “the other” as to nations (WWI, WWII, origins of welfare and national mental health systems), gets real interesting.  

Apparently these fields are necessary handmaidens and facilitators to a culture of violence as part of commerce and conquest?  IF SO, then what does that say about the current clamor (and programs) to want to stop or prevent it?}  It gets real interesting..  

Depending on what state of being split up into other posts this one is, this spans from Freud (pre-1900s) to Fix the Courts movements (2000s) and deals with the topics of censorship and reframing truth, as shown in the title of the post, “Assault on the Truth,” and recommends we get down to basics, and act accordingly.  The basic question:  IS this true, and if so, who’s telling it, who’s covering it up, and then what next?  Disturbing, for sure….}[The post also has formatting challenges because of my habit is to “show and tell” using quotations, within quotations, which are easily overcome if you look (clicks) at the links yourself in their original contexts.

Cummings Foundation Launches Congressional Initiative to Fix Broken Family Courts

Notice that link is from the NCSDV.org website. http://www.ncdsv.org/images/ CF_LaunchesCongressionalInitiativeToFixBrokenFamilyCourts_10-22-2012.pdf ….NCSDV formed in 1998 with this statement:

When Deborah D. Tucker, MPA, and Sarah M. Buel, JD, founded the National Training Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence in 1998, their vision was to create an organization that encouraged and created unprecedented levels of collaboration among professionals working to end violence against women. See the National Center’s introductory letter to national and state organizations, friends and supporters.The reason behind this vision was simple: after decades of work in the field, these two women understood that the most successful efforts – the kind of efforts that save lives and transform our society – are always the result ofindividuals and organizations working together: [under “staff” link” to NCDSV], see connections to the power structures: . . . .The National Center consults with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on DELTA(Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancements and Leadership Through Alliances), a program involving 14 state coalitions to advance the prevention of domestic violence. {{How about doing a better at stopping it after it’s occurred? Just asking….}} NCDSV consulted from 2007-2011 with the CDC Foundation on the Robert Wood Johnson-funded DELTA PREP program preparing 19 additional state coalitions to initiate in DELTA and initiate evidence-based prevention strategies in their states. Debby has extensive experience on the national level.  She served as Co-Chair of the U.S. Department of DefenseTask Force on Domestic Violence from 2000-2003 . . .

[[2014 “Good Grief!” — the CDC foundation is a Georgia Corp (nonprofit) that takes donations to help the US Dept. of HHS (largest grant-making agency in the federal government, of which “CDC” are just part) do its job better?  Propping up that department?? Look at the size of it!]] 

Unlike many organizations, [NCDSV] appears to have been started by a survivor, a mother who was temporarily on welfare, and got her undergraduates degree in 1987 by working FT days and going to school nights (who, then, raised her son?) and then went on to star summa cum laude at Harvard University School of law. Unfortunately, from a perspective of mothers going through the system (including systems of training created by founders and creative visionaries in the field of domestic violence itself), the expertise and insistence that a “Coordinated Community Response” is the best response — and including some of the problem agencies among the Coordinated Community” — has made it impossible to confront, or even be heard,about the problems and conflicts of interest this actually causes us. Or even that it’s resulting in unnecessary and avoidable deaths because of the same issues!

While Coordinated Communities Consolidate Philosophies and Increase Credibility — the fact is, they also “Incorporate Conflicts of Interest while Centralizing Control” — and hence strengthen their initiatives, while silencing alternative, unfunded, and non-collaborationist lone-wolves, who just might be howling out the truth in the middle of the night.

I got really irritated on looking a few of these groups pushing marriage curricula, and networking with their out-of-state-buddies (and HHS), and basically so long as the grants come, who cares about the integrity of the subject matter? I’m a woman. I also am a mother.. . . The problem is Bipartisan — and neither political party is my friend right now. Hypocrites!
