The criminal activity of guardianship is not complex. It is not even subtle.

The criminal activity of guardianship is not complex.    It is not even subtle.

The criminal enterprise has its origins in the corrupt political organizations.    My experience is with Illinois.    

Let's start at square one.   How does an attorney become a judge.   Originally the process was quiet simple.    He went to see if Committeeman.  (Democratic Party).    He had gym bag with him and he had it filled with cash.    If he felt that the discussion was to his liking he left the gym bag and he waited to ascertain if the cash was sufficient to grease the way to a party nomination for the position of judge.    It is was he was placed on the ballot and as there is no Republican party in Cook county he was elected.    The position of Associate Judge was created so that there would be a period wherein the party elders could examine the qualifications of the candidate.    

The Federal government has interfered with the process a bit, so the bag of cash has been replaced with equivalents.

The money making opportunities of the political machine require a cadre of donors who in exchange for favors provide the cash that retains power in the 'proper people.'    

The perfidy of the current group has exceeded all expectations.    They have crossed 'party' lines and have created Enron type operations that make the crooks at Enron look like amateurs.    These entities are made available to the 'judicial officials' to choose from in addressing the current criminal enterprise.     To make the observation of the crimes less obvious it is rare that Mrs corrupt guardian disclosed that she is married to Mr. corrupt guardian.    Of course it is expected that the corrupt guardians will favor their own entities and certain mandatory entities in the administration of the estate.   In this pursuit of dollars 'mercy' is not a word that is applicable and anyone who interferes in the abolition of the victims rights and estate is crushed.   The Judge for his role is a rubber stamp.   (Gloria Sykes has been investigating these people and I trust that he documentary and intellectual efforts will be most enlightening).

Thus translating this to the elder cleansing industry certain favored guardians are appointed to pillage the estate of the targeted senior or disabled person.   I have not been able to ascertain if there is a bidding process, but, certain favorites appear most often in the more lucrative estates.    To maintain their 'status' they have a required list of providers that they favor.    

Insurance for the Judge, the guardians, and associated other villains is purchased by alliance with certain law enforcement people - they are paid to look the other way, and as it is appearing from the overt actions of Mr. Larkin even lawyer disciplinary organizations such as the Florida Bar and the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary commission.    

So integrated is the corruption that even the 'vote' is not secure.      To illustrate.    I had a client who probably the best qualified candidate for alderman who has ever run for office in Chicago.    A reform group of citizens in the 50th ward in Chicago were unhappy with the then current Alderman who was old, and alienated.    The recruited Mr. B.     In addition they engaged a public relations firm from the 'top shelf!'     They determined the needs of the community, how to reach active members of the community, and address community needs.    No stone was left un turned.     Mr. B was defeated by about four thousand votes and did not garner 1/4 of the vote.

The public relations firm wanted to be paid - their fee was not contingent on a win - to be blunt= they were legitimate.    I was engaged to defend the suit.    I called the attorney for the PR firm and told her that I was going to counter-sue for malpractice.    She was stunned; however, when I asked her how many nursing homes were in the ward and how they voted we settled the case for a one thin dime.     Mr. B had not received a single vote from a resident of a nursing home in the ward!   Co-incidence or vote fraud???     

A certain Democratic political figure in the next election round decided that Alderman S ought to be retired and magically the very same residents of the nursing homes delivered election victory to the candidate of the Democratic political figure.   Co -incidence or vote fraud!!!     

This is the monster that we who have taken on the fight against elder cleansing are fighting.    We do have an asset.   Health care Fraud is so great (estimated at 70=75%) that any health care reform or project is guaranteed to failure.    This President's signature legislation is Obamacare.       The elder cleansing structure along with related frauds are going to defeat his legacy no matter what his opposition does or does not due.   Therefore, if President Obama wants to have any chance of having a positive legacy of any kind he has to join in the fight against elder cleansing and health care fraud.    The cost of this fraud is so great that if he can eliminate 25 percent of the fraud Obamacare could be social security of the 21st Century.   If he could eliminate 50% you great great grandchildren will be describing Obama with Deity like admiration.

I could go on - but I think I've made my point.    The the Omicare prosecutions and the Hospice prosecutions Mr. Holder is hitting the dragon in a vital spot; however, he has to take the legs out and thus, the Lawyer regulators are a prime target.  Imagine the incentive that Mr. Coleman will have for reforming the Florida Bar if Mr. Larkin is prosecuted for his aiding and abetting the criminal enterprise of elder cleansing!   

It is therefore in our best interests to see that law enforcement has all the facts so that they can move swiftly and efficaciously against the monster.    Our goal has to be single minded - eradicate corruption and promote compliance with the Law.    we have to recognize that in the nitty gritty our enemy is much more accomplished and experienced.    Journalists such as Janet Phelan, Gloria Sykes et al will ferret out the facts and expose the soft underbelly.   Our job is to fight back tooth and nail so as to protect our Civil and Human Rights.   

Every day, I complain as to the attempt to deny me my First Amendment Rights.    Every victim of elder cleansing whether of direct victim or not has to engage in similar tactics if we are to render a proper protest and protect American Core values for our children and grandchildren.    Elder cleansing does not just injure your mother = it injures every American.
