("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 2022.

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).
