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

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."

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 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).

Once STOPPED at this point, you cannot travel down both paths and be one traveler. It's either retain that humanity, sensitivity to truth, or lose it.

["Stopping by Snowy Woods on a Snowy Evening." Observe from a distance, not in the thick of it, consider (I have). And there are miles to go before I sleep, too. If you have stopped and seen, remember to stop back on the way out, and feed the blogger. See "strung out and stripped down" phrase, above. Thanks!

What sort of penalties am I facing if I am convicted of PC 243(e)(1) Domestic Battery?

Up to a $2,000 fine; Informal or “summary” probation for up to 3 years.

It's taken a very long time, but I have also been. Connecting the Dots, that is. Question: If DV is not a crime or at least not really to be prosecuted, if possible, then what were all the DV professionals doing the whole time, and why?

has a retired? Judge LaDoris Cordell on its advisory board. GOOD. See Dec. 2013 Mercury News article about a (truly heinous) hate crime, racial, perpetrated (by 4 Caucasian young men upon a African-American young man, their roommate) at San Jose State. A bicycle lock around his neck, and worse, was involved. A task force was appointed. This same Judge Cordell, as its head, in November wrote the newspaper, asking why this hate crime "wobbler" was charged as a misdemeanor, given that:

The FBI definition again verifies: Perpetrate a criminal offense against person or property to someone because of his or her: race, religion, disability, ethnic identity or sexual orientation, and it's a hate crime:

Investigating hate crime is the number one priority of our Civil Rights Program. Why? Not only because hate crime has a devastating impact on families and communities, but also because groups that preach hatred and intolerance plant the seeds of terrorism here in our country.

A hate crime is a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias

"But, do the same any or all of the above to a woman because she's a woman -- and it's business as usual. "


So -- IS there an excuse for domestic violence? In my opinion, no. In reality, in practice, and institutionalized -- yes, and no end of excuses; in fact nothing BUT excuses, plus a lot of talk about reaching out, preventing engaging (name your population) and sponsoring more media campaigns. Futures Without Violence is now 100% owner of a real estate "Inc" which owns property in the SF Praesidio and is dealing with figures in the $40million++, let's talk about being "tapped in" to primary sources ($7.5 million endowment from the Ford Foundation, for a global display center and conference room, apparently this is necessary to earn the public's respect for any public policy...). The victims they're ignoring, and their feedbacks (not just mine) can "go jump in the lake," apparently.

3 classic change models [=hover. Lewin Unfreeze,Change,Refreeze; McKinsey 7-step, Kotter 8-Step. Which one are AFCC et al. using to expand conciliation court influence?].. FYI, in war, and also in abusive relationships, change tactics are also used. It's good to know what they are and when in operation!

MacArthur-funded "Models for Change: See 8/15/2013 post "Private Wealth Acquisition/Disposition: Bankers Life (1879) MacArthur Foundation (pre-1978)". This is PRIVATELY controlled money dominating court programs. You'll see ("left-lurching") MacArthur Foundation, for example, pouring money into the civil-servant-membership nonprofits (but with connections to statewide influence, preferably) causes, so they can practice on an entire state at a time.. This is top-down system change, and that it's top-down is absolutely intentional.

I'll bet this can be stopped. But not alone, and not without organization, and documentation! Any ideas how??

Whether you want it parsed and outlined, or in documented rant form, it will be strategically different, scratch-your-head "Huh?!?" or deeply disturbing "What-the-????" and, in the long run, actionable (like, how can we stop funding the foolishness) information.

So, this blog provides an alternate framework for some of the toughest issues of our time; life and death issues, social issues, and economic issues that get to the heart of, what IS government, and where do I stand in relationship to it?

I wrote on behalf of and knowing from experience that the people who needed this information the most could afford it the least; they were in survival mode year after year and often facing the challenge of their lifetimes (retaining contact, or re-gaining contact with their own children). As was I.

This groundwork has been done, and I can't continue the work for free. Your donations will help consolidate results into better visual format and they will also help me, the blogger to finalize this project, and still survive personally. Moreover, if they do NOT come in, then I will have a free assessment of its current perceived worth (other than what individuals have said, including THANK YOU!), at this time.

• Asking the FNAQs (Frequently Not Asked Questions), and noticing who didn't ask them, which is relevant
• A straightfoward primer on how people can better research their own cases.

• Eventually, and in the public's fiscal interest, starting a movement to eliminate some over-valued and absolutely over-billed professional niches (see blog for more details): -- Supervised Visitation Monitors -- federally supported nonprofits whose goal is to put yet more GALS with conflict of interest relationships who aren't protecting children anyhow into more children's lives (NACC-- see Child Custody Agenda) ; grants-grabbing fathers rights/DV advocates (collaborating apart from their future clients) Batterers Intervention Providers, court-connected cronies, and any and all under-monitored, specialized hybrid courts whose ultimate real (and unacknowledged) goal is to order more services, while delivering less of what the average person would recognize as "justice."

I also recommend making the nationwide child support system (a fairly recent innovation) obsolete [=another of my blogs] and instead returning yearly administrative billions (about $4 billion enforcement alone) to taxpayers. To quit diverting welfare funds into marriage promotion as a franchised profession!!! [[the average taxpayer has NO idea of its extent..]] and to in general, establish that women do not have to fight each other (or hate men) just because society has declared "single mother" a disability for the kids, and then (just in case it wasn't true), made it happen anyhow through federal policy.

I took that research and reporting to a different level and form, adding grants research insight into various advocacy groups and more, from the corporate and nonprofit analysis angle. There are also "how-to" pages such as ("Looking Up a Nonprofit"). Above all, as people continue to experience extreme distress around this issue, I wish them to know "it's not all in your head" -- and there really is a substantial problem. BUT, not to just accept pre-fab or spoonfed solutions: Develop your own understanding and your own voices.

I have several buttons (same link) here because I tend to "run my mouth" in attempt to cover all bases.

Any amount received with thanks -- a tiny % I believe is taken (from amount submitted) with the donate process.
Thank you in advance!

This is a tale of Building Peaceful Families ("BPF")(incorporated 1/3/2005), Healing and Hope (posted 7/28/2013, hover cursor for the content), Domestic Violence Intervention Coalition {"DVIC") Inc. 1/21/2005 [compare with "BPF" date] (this is actually a California Corporation (i.e., BUSINESS) set up as a fiscal agent (?) to handle the monies from the activities of the Council -- which appears to be an advisory agency under the Office of Women's Policy, i.e. part of government. ) the site is advertising: Engaging, Motivating and Inspiring Men: the next step in Domestic Violence Prevention (10/2011 [18th annual. Do the math] conference run by DVIC [that corp]. and selling DVIResources with keynote speakers Lundy Bancroft and Jerry Tello),; and a tale of Mr. Bancroft's alter ego organization (or is it?) Protective Mothers International (not incorporated yet? Apparently not in Florida anyhow; that's the search site) but still has co-founders, apparently). A search for the Activist Woman the 'Healing and Hope" post is protecting, shows "The National Organization for the Respect of Motherhood, Inc." was incorporated 12/18/2012 by a person under LegalZoom from Glendale, CA (Florida-California??) under Ms. Levinson and two others. However, that was quickly dissolved when they never (ever) filed an annual report... Nevertheless, let's protect the mothers internationally (and engage and inspire the fathers).

Well, given this new information, I"m going to hazard a guess that actually PMA is more likely, as well as and along with CPPA, a vehicle for the distribution of private, court-related information from women with OPEN custody cases, and a way to potentially, given the cross-associations, get that information into the hands of the opposing side. POTENTIALLY, is all I'm saying. Could be way off there. Or right-on. Who's to say?

So that's when I went looking, found these other corps, and attempted to tell CD (I don't hang in the same circles).

And another, (ditto) me ("Let's Get Honest" will do for now)-- who continues to say, "STEP ONE is to find, and read, the tax returns, and watch the money fly away-- or shift quickly from one to another when one's about to be "outed."

So, this little mini-history, with is characters, corps, and county-connections, also tells us (all) what the domestic violence intervention movement is doing, as opposed to what it's preaching, these days -- and by "these days," I do mean, now. Overall, "We are not amused," it's hardly a laughing matter -- but this one does have an entertainment factor to it. It's a "whodathunkit?!" situation, and an indicator of how gullible the public truly is.
