Let's Get Honest! Absolutely Uncommon Analysis of Family & Conciliation Courts' Operations, Practices, & History

“CONNECTIVE TISSUE:”  I published this post 8/22/2016, cleaned it up some over the next two days, adding two images (at the bottom) and am adding these ShortLinks to Supporting and Related Posts published 8/23 and (within the hour) 8/24).  The titles are long, but the links (“urls”) are short and can be easily copied for tweeting or other messaging.  Same idea as “tinyurl.com”

Published 8/23/2016:  Agenda 21 Lawsuit AGAINST| FISCAL AGENTS |The Strange Case of Edward Charles Foundation (Inc. 2009 in California as a Delaware Org.) | Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative (Inc. December 2011 in California; First Revenues ($1.4M) not acknowledged until 2013)

Being published 8/24/2016: “Case in Point, NEVER skip the Business 501(c)3  Entity Lookups, and Watch the “Fiscal Agent” organizations! (Edward Charles Foundation, Fiscal Agent to “FreedomAdvocates” and, apparently, the Stars (post begun 7/3/2016)” <==<== This post looks more at Edward Charles Foundation and at Freedom Advocates tax returns, and shows a different name used by the latter for the IRS filing than at the State level, as well as that Freedom Advocates only filed in 2006 and 2008, that I can see.  ECF is how I found out about the Whitaker Initiative for short, in part looking for its contributions to “Peace Foundation” business entity, not found).  Meanwhile, the original incarnation (name) for the Whitaker Institute showed a website “peacearth.org” (no longer valid), while a Form 990-N, which has a blank for “website” in 2012 showed “none.” Odd, for an organization talking about the media campaigns it is running overseas and as part of original articles of incorporation statement of intended activities.

Although any of these posts should stand alone if a reader follows up on the links, or understands “looking it up,” they are strengthened in association with each other.

PREVIEW to THIS POST:

This one situation is beyond “tricky.” I saw again, and show readers that if you won’t look it up, you just may not know “squat” about which direction finances are flowing, or who you are dealing with on-line.

Seeing this particular scenarios is a good dose of understanding the importance of follow-through;  as I’ve been saying on this blog and to individuals privately and in public for years now, FINDING that BUSINESS ENTITY and looking at its fiscal profile is a more than worthwhile investment of your time.  Before the cause-oriented arguing, choose to do the accounting-and corporate-filings- oriented lookups.

Again, BEFORE argumentation about the causes — do the basic accounting lookups (it’s NOT THAT HARD!!!). Acquire something substantial which you have personally, factually verified BEFORE emotional, financial, and personal involvement in anyone soliciting for the cause, in fact in the process of deciding whether to get involved — or not get involved.

In this process you also develop a useful, “lowest common denominator” comparative language and system of classification with which to compare similar organizing principles across dissimilar subject matter, and get out of some verbal pro/con ruts which have been previously set up to keep the public distracted, running in circles and imagining that they are engaged in genuine debate, when the language has already been limited for them to conceal those networks of power and speak about them openly.

Or, if it’s just more exciting and you can’t do without personal, experiential gratification in the way of public attention, fun, and socializing — continue going for rides in cars with fiscal strangers and see what happens…maybe you’ll be hijacked, and maybe not; there is constant recruiting taking place for causes and for groups supporting those causes.  THIS one is a real wake-up call.

Found at “GlobalizationOfCalifornia.com” upload “2014/03/donate-to-lawsuit” viewed 8-12-2016. Notice the fine print underneath “DONATE” logo.

The fine print on that logo led to an important “find.”

<===

From looking at the Secretary of State filings (California) street address, I also, again, saw another example of tax-exempt, state-wide foundation (the California Endowment) throwing its fiscal weight around in the form of real estate leasing or ownership, while being LESS than forth-coming on its tax returns.  Symptom of that situation exemplified in this logo — and I’ll bet a similar situation is happening throughout the country, “your neighborhood too.” I’ve seen it in Berkeley, California (also involving an institute referenced on Forest Whitaker’s organization’s page as “Advisory”), and in Texas.  The practice is to continue expanding the reach and assets-acquisition of the nonprofit sector, and sponsoring like-minded organizations, all the time, tax-exempt..which most of the INDIVIDUALS the organizations are supposed to be helping are not.  

Recognize the archetype, please!

Discussed in this post, I included some of my comments with the next logo:

Those are just a sampler.  I have some tongue-in-cheek about the “articifial womb” (how close is it?  How obsolete will mothers become as even biological breeders (we’re already being phased out in US Social policy as active parents who stand up to abuse, and are confident, articulate, educated, and don’t shut up or go away when we don’t get straight answers, or buy the half-assed excuses when expected to).  That was kind of just playing around.

I also wanted to know about the history of the corporation (upcoming post) and cited from a blog RibbonFarm which led to more historical info from someone who seems able to translate it into plain English without losing credibility through over-broad summary.

I do also post from the NJ CAFR in looking for this Rutgers Institute /UNESCO outpost as a budget item, or entity item.  Didn’t find it yet, but did see what else is there.

Any CAFR is likely to have great information on the public entities (what business, exactly, is our lovely state IN)? Such as, for NJ, the NY/NJ Port Authority, and its State University System, for example.   Anyone who wants to complain about lack of justice in the courts or about the legal system, ought to first familiarize themselves with the ECONOMIC systems in the form of these financial statements of the various entities, and learn how to read them.  They have tables of contents and while long, are certainly not in a foreign, impossible-to-decipher jargon.  They really are aimed at the average reader — just with a whole lot of numbers involved.  

INTRO and UPCOMING POST SCHEDULE:

I started this post about August 11, 2016.  I am publishing it August 22, along with a series of others which I have been working on, to “clear the deck” for a while, as my personal matters are anything but clear.  I put too much effort into the drafts to withhold them for formatting imperfections, or until they can all be broken into shorter posts and verbally/electronically, for navigation purposes, connected with each other, at all joints and junctures.

Some of these posts may be more thoroughly “baked” than others (to change analogies from seafaring and construction to the kitchen), but all are substantial, informative, detailed, well-linked, and still thoughtful.  

I am taking on a larger scope of topics (international countering violent extremism) however, still using similar drill-down / look-it-up procedures that anyone willing to take the time could do.  One difference is, however that I’ve been doing it for years now, and so have considerable information in the mental database (name recognition) which makes the process a little faster than if it’s a new process.

For example, in one of these it sank home that a major database I use, “990finder.foundationcenter.org” is itself helping speed-disseminate documents, for example, in the social science research arena (fatherhood, specifically) and provide access to the platform through its IssueLab.  Meanwhile, people, individuals that is, without access to these and not functioning in either the academic institution, or as nonprofits, have lesser access to this data, and must “hunt and peck” it from disparate sources — which is FYI “slow slogging” (yes I know I went from ocean to kitchen to snowshoe points of reference).  While the individuals are compiling their understanding, the networks are accelerating their connections and electronic/financial capacity to self-replicate.

Through writing this post I also became aware of Devex.com as an entity providing a major development global database involving collaborations with USAID and/or the State Department (I’m not yet clear on how USAID does or doesn’t relate agency-wise to the Department of State:

USAID AND DEVEX ANNOUNCE LAUNCH OF DEVEX IMPACT STRATEGIC ADVISORY COUNCIL

For Immediate Release | Wednesday, June 5, 2013 | USAID Press Office

Washington, DC— On June 3, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Devex announced the launch of the Devex Impact(link is external) Strategic Advisory Council. The Council guides the development of the Devex Impact website to increase its utility as a collaborative platform for corporations, NGOs, foundations, donors and other private sector actors working on public-private partnerships for development.

Devex Impact is a collaborative effort between Devex and USAID that brings together USAID’s leadership and expertise in building public-private partnerships for development with Devex’s unique capabilities and reach as the world’s largest development network that connects over 500,000 professionals and thousands of donors, companies, and NGOs.

Founding members of the Strategic Advisory Council include the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), The Boeing Company, Business for Social Responsibility (BSR), Chevron, the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID), ExxonMobil, GAVI Alliance, IBM, KPMG, and Orange.

“As an Agency that specializes in public-private partnerships for development, USAID is proud to be a founding member of the Devex Impact Strategic Advisory Council,” stated USAID Deputy Administrator Donald Steinberg at the inaugural meeting of the Devex Impact Strategic Advisory Council.

If you want to know what Forest Whitaker and his organization in SoCal has to do with Devex, keep reading this post.  I also have imminent separate, simple post showing the complete (so far as provided by the state of California) uploaded charitable registration documents — which includes links to IRS statements, and some founding articles — on the same. This was no easy thing to put in post form, which indicates how important the topic was.  If published, I will link to it here.

SHORT UPDATE TO THIS POST:

Publishing it now as Agenda 21 Lawsuit AGAINST| FISCAL AGENTS |The Strange Case of Edward Charles Foundation (Inc. 2009 in California as a Delaware Org.) | Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative (Inc. December 2011 in California; First Revenues ($1.4M) not acknowledged until 2013)

Edward Charles Foundation was in part sponsoring the organization (fine-print, first logo above) and “DemocratsUnitedAGAINSTAgenda21” in this case turned out to be soliciting FOR it through that foundation.  I found and added to this post that the FTC recently (2014-2016) also sued the chosen registered agent for the Whitaker P&D Initiative, and a monetary judgment of $105,000,000 — that’s MILLION dollars was issued this past February by a Nevada District U.S. Judge.  The defendants were charged under several 15 U.S.C. acts, including EFTA, ROSCA, and Telemarketing Act, all of which seemed to do with abuse of consumer, telemarketing, and electronic access, as well as product claims.  You’ll see if you read that post.  In it I also look at the programming of WPDI (as stated on their website).  Definitely an informative post!! (so far, shorter than this one by about one-third, too, and less complex material).   Whitaker’s name was also on several, still-active corporations, not mentioned in the FTC lawsuit, out of the same street address as maintained now by that registered agent in Encino, CA.

I was already aware through shared street address of the situation on 1000 N. Alameda Street, Los Angeles and the California Endowment’s role in this.

FYI, some tax-exempt foundations are so “flush” they have (for years) been able to invest in real estate (either directly or through a “related” organization).  Philanthropy wants its sector strengthened, so nonprofits get free or reduced rent for office space and/or conference spaces to further build their networks, while the public, whose interest would be served better by ACCOUNTABILITY for CONNECTING THE DOTS OF PUBLIC MONEY, in that regard, gets screwed.  Period.  But for noble causes, like world peace, yeah, UN/UNESCO-style.

We’re beginning to discover just how much what’s called “PEACE” is actually often “DEVELOPMENT” (but appending “Peace” to the collective concept is an easier sell) and that an accelerating — in some its own organizational words — trend of taking the “developed” country, the United States of America, and turning it into one “Un-developed” and hence ripe for international “Re-Development” is the goal, while the undocumented, untraced 501©3s and their Big-Brother friends — and less than upfront ways — are becoming a major issue.

RE: “undocumented”

I know the phrase “undocumented aliens” meaning people is much more popular in the press here, but I’m here to remind us again at length and in as much detail as (or more than) I think most people will stomach from a “non-expert” such as a single writer — you’d better watch out for the undocumented cash flow between institutes and institutions in the USA for starters.

Did you know that a US Department of Justice-Administered grant cannot even be searched by grant #on the USDOJ website? 

I looked again yesterday, seeking these grants mentioned in my last post — this section was looking at footer information on the website bwjp.org with reference to “BWJP” (Battered Women’s Justice Project) having a well-known name in this area, but not becoming a spin-off nonprofit until 2013, after years of being a project posing as a (corporate) “person” on website shared between organizations in two different states — MN and PA:

I’m incredulous of this prevailing circumstance, but that’s just how it is.  Go check yourself and please, feel free to comment back here, especially if you did find something a person with a GED, high school diploma and moderate competency in English (and/or the ability to find almost anything on FaceBook) might actually find on THIS federal agency website indicating it wants the public to know and have some role in actively monitoring, how their public funds are being administered. Feel free also to do this for any other of the many parts of the Department of Justice, particularly under the Office of Justice Programs, which tend to be administering grants distributions associated with those programs.

This post branches off of previous one, called:  If You Won’t Responsibly Notice, Detail and Come to any Conclusion on DOMESTIC Govt-Funded NGOs (Here, DAIP, BWJP in MN) and Databases (here, TAGGS.HHS.GOV, a 990-finder, and IRS Pub. 78 EOS Search), How Will You Stand Up for ANYONE’s Rights (incl. yours) under GLOBAL Govt-funded NGO Control?

That represents the full name of ONE post.  Obviously someone is going through a “thorough” phase in naming posts these days… Anyhow, a running start to this post is near the top of that one under the section title “NGOs…” Please start there….

After this one, which so far is a mercifully much shorter post, I have:

NGO v. “Corporation.” Whose idea was “corporation” originally and FOR WHOM/SINCE WHEN?  The Dutch, the Portuguese, the Brits –and their East India Companies? (started 8/6/2016)

In the process of looking up what may or may not actually be an “NGO” — I felt it worthwhile to look closely at a single state CAFR, New Jersey’s for International Institute for Peace co-founded in 2011 by Aldo Civico and Forest Whitaker.

How the Rutgers Institute came up in the first place:

Well-known and respected actor Forest Whitaker has lent his name (and UNESCO has lent ITS name) to both the Rutgers Institute in New Jersey, and a specific Southern California 501©3 bearing (not originally, but now) the famous actor’s name.   This SoCal 501©3 was originally named as a supporting foundation for the institute.   

California Connection to the UN “Agenda 21” factor:
