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

My understanding is a work in process, but the basics of it were laid out early in this blog.  I keep posting to keep an alternate (and dissident to mainstream family court reform movements, not to mention the ongoing developments within the courts, and their fauna and flora …. economic ecological niche.. ever-expanding jurisdiction as parts of government continue to consolidate and centralize, positioning ultimate control at the top, but so distributing responsibility that accountability is just about impossible — and that’s critical to bypassing public consent in open forums on the programs being promoted, too.

New To This Blog | Want My Position Summary or a Review? These Ten Key Posts From 2012-2017 should help. (Very Short PAGE, Publ. Jan. 27, 2018). Shortlink ends “-8tE”, under 1,500 words.

These are a Top Ten ‘Formerly Sticky’ Posts (in preparation for Blog Home Page Restructuring)

This short list currently also is posted on a very long, new Home page (one of two upcoming) for this blog.  The purpose is moving current writing closer to the top of the blog.  The very long new Home page is long because it contains a current drill-down on organizations I’ve noticed over many years, posted on before, and which had years ago already gone international. This page, then has a parent page — the new home page currently called:

LGH Top Picks, Themes, Tables of Contents, and Why My Gravatar is a Blue Jay taking Flight. (New Jan. 11, 2018) (Front Page to this blog.  Found at “FamilyCourtMatters.org”)

This part of it only occupies about 1,000 words (not including restating the title), and some vertical space on that page if I leave it there. To be honest, it’s also backup in case the outrageously long new home page stages an electronic rebellion, which I’ve seen before…

These formerly displayed in reverse chronological order (most recent sticky post on the top), but I am listing them in chronological order (oldest first).  FYI, Later posts are probably better formatted and less likely to have expired links or missing graphics due to broken links (I’ve since switched techniques for posting images to avoid that). They show a learning curve on the subject matter, but most of the basics were grasped early on in the blog.

~ ~ List of ‘formerly sticky’ posts~ ~

• Another POV on “The Center for the Family in Transition” (and its funders) (Publ. 9/22/2012) (WordPress- generated shortlink ends in “-190” which is all numbers, no alpha character for the “0” which otherwise would look like this:  “O”). [About 19,000 words]
• While We’re There — the Northern California Mediation Center . . . and ITS corporate records, history, people, etc. (publ. 9/22/2012) Shortlink ends “-19g.” [ca. 8,000 words]
• ORPHANS: Where The Great Commission meets the Military-Industrial Complex [First Published May 18, 2013] Shortlink ends “-1w0” (the 1st and 3rd digits are numbers, not letters). [Just under 10,000 words]
• Get Real(itybloger)! — Call In, Read the Links on CAFRs, Review Regularly. (First posted Jan. 24, 2014) Shortlink ends “-2hg.”  [Almost 13,000 words]
• [I did not publish, at least on this blog, the last half of 2014 or throughout 2015, for personal reasons.  Resumed Jan. 23, 2016] 
• About the Language and Length (Notes on Writing Style from TOC 2014 post) with Work Sample: The Calif Endowment (Publ. 10-13-2016,) Shortlink ends “-4FK” [Just over 16,300 words]
• Do You Know Your EDC (EIN#04-2241718 in Massachusetts)? Or Why It Became a Greenbook Initiative ~Evaluation Partner~ Alongside ICF International and the NCSC? If Not, Pls. Look Now!* Shortlink ends “-4TG.” [About 13,000 words]
  • *Published 11/15/2016, made sticky (and some images added near top, and missing ones replaced in middle) 6/25/2017 for its place in other topics I’m currently featuring.
  • *That post has an extended middle section on the London School of Economics (“LSE”) International Institute for Inequalities, funded in part or at startup by the Leverhulme Foundation.  The foundation basis of the Leverhulme Foundation being the global company “Unilever,” which itself (before and after the Anglo-Dutch, as I recall merger) which ties into colonial exploitation (to amass the wealth) in the Belgian Congo (cf. the Great Scramble years??) combined with compassionate but planned communities (“Port Sunlight”) for British factory workers.  This plus fairly recent major restructuring of the funding of UK research universities (centralization of control, from an outsider’s viewpoint), I think would justify re-posting the central portion of this post, shorting it by about 50%.  That section probably was a more recent update anyhow.
  • (See image immediately below (within this table), but please understand it relates to that 2016 post — and not this WordPress page!).
    
  • That post also has an extended section (because it was an EDC funder) on a Belgian (Bernard Van Leer) foundation which I know comes up again under my subsidiary page to this one involving project VOICES IN THE MIDDLE run by Brit charity “The Family Initiative,” which I’ll explain, I hope, on that page.  Overall, “Do You Know Your EDC” is  a good post to review, not just for “transferable concepts” but also because some of the same foundations or associations will come up repeatedly in other contexts, in including family court settings!
• 2017 Table of Contents Continues Themes From 2016. See TOC for: (1) 2017 now thru March Sept. 21; (2) 2016 All; (3) Sept. 2012 – June 2014, Reverse Chrono, and (4) See Also More Info Below. Shortlink-ends 5qZ, first published Jan. 9, 2017, second half of post title and substantial updates added in late September, 2017).
  • If you are a visual learner this post, and (as I recall) the other two it links to, has: <>images for browsing the three existing TOCs, <>links to browse each in 8X11″ uploaded pdf form, and (on that page for 2017, or linked pages for earlier years) <>the tables for each time span in straight table form.
  • Unfortunately, so far only current through early October, 2017. The process is still cumbersome to produce in anything approaching a clean format where ALL the viewing versions contain viable, active links for each entry!
  • The post has also some interesting information (images, links, discussion) at the very bottom on “CENIC” relating to high-speed internet provision and networks (Government- university etc. subscribers) within my state (based on looking up a visitor to the blog), which I posted being fairly sure similar organization exists in other states.
• Vital Info: “Sticky” Posts (Now Listed Here)[Publ. 2/9/2017, rev. 5/26, 6/19, & 10/1/2017] Shortink ends “-5MQ.” [About 4,600 words, shorter because it’s mostly pictures!].
  • Contains images of abstracts of the top 10 posts (and 5 more “formerly sticky” ones.  Soon NONE of them will be “sticky…”)
  • At the bottom are some more images and a few links to the Center referenced on this post as well, i.e., Judith Wallerstein Center for the Family in Transition, raising some of the issues surrounding multiple versions of similarly (or at times, identically) named nonprofits run, sometimes in sequence: one dissolves, another merge into a different organization, making that business name available again, a new one under identical name can be organized) by aligned professionals and taking business from the courts which some of their colleague (judges) can order. Such a system…
  • Note:  People who NEVER look at charitable or business filings (i.e, beyond the typical organization website) may NEVER realize this has even taken place, and may reflect on the truthfulness of statements on the main organization website about its own history.
• “DISCONNECTED!” — More on ConnectEd (2006ff nonprofit) and WestEd (1995ff JPA claiming to be since 1966). Can YOU Follow the Connections, Find and Correlate the Financial Statements, and Name the EndGame(s)?  Published 5/11/2017. Shortlink ends “-6k7.” [About 9,800 words]

  • (With more Info + images added to the bottom on two authors, M. Chussodovsky + M.G.Marshall, relating to the platform from which one of the pro-State Banking articles I discuss was posted and other places they are published (such as at truthout.org, RT.com) = about 13,850 words) .
