Memo: Wall Street Journal and other media outlets

To whom it may concern:

I read the Wall Street Journal Article decrying the attempt to censor and charge newsman David Gregory with a crime. The editorial was impressive and correct. The core of American culture is the First Amendment. Unfortunately, I was struck by the fact that no one is interested in the fact that right here in Chicago – Gloria Sykes, who authored several books including Shattered Sense of Innocence and produced several documentaries - is fighting alone against avenging miscreants who appear to have the complete backing of the Circuit Court of Cook County in denying her First Amendment Rights.

In an attempt to prevent Gloria Sykes from doing an expose of corruption in the Probate Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois Ms. Sykes has been subjected to unspeakable abuse. This abuse has been previously detailed in e-mails that various citizens have forwarded to the local media outlets. Indeed, the local media outlets have received anguished calls to help Ms. Sykes and no one is interested. This situation is common – but not the subject of this memo.

Ms. Sykes commenced her crusade after her mother complained of her older daughter’s financial exploitation. In a failed attempt to help her mother escape the ravages of ‘Elder Abuse” and “Financial Exploitation of the Elderly” journalist Gloria Sykes waded into the fray with both feet. Like other family members of victims, Ms. Sykes has been demonized, defamed, and discriminated against in an effort to ‘shut her up!’ The most recent outrage is still pending in the Circuit Court. The particular outrage that the media ought to be concerned involves the use of the ‘color of statute’ to separate a journalist from her research, her data, her notes and her intellectual property.

In an effort to prevent Ms. Sykes from continuing her efforts to author a publication and produce a documentary on the issue of ‘government supported elder abuse’ and expose a ‘Greylord’ type scandal, Ms. Sykes was subjected to what appears to be a totally improper ‘forcible entry and detainer action. (color of statute) Whether the legal proceeding was proper or not is matter for the Courts; however, the collateral activities are not. Ms. Sykes was beaten by the husband of the de facto plenary guardian for her mother and her notes, her research, her data, and her work product were stolen during the eviction. [It should be noted that the order of eviction is reported as removing Ms. Sykes from the 2^nd floor apartment located on the premises. Ms. Sykes occupied the entire building and had for many years.

It is obvious that the focus of the eviction was to gain access to Ms. Sykes valuable intellectual property – i.e. the transcripts of proceedings that detail the fact that for more three years the Circuit Court of Cook County has not had jurisdiction as the original proceedings to declare Ms. Mary Sykes disabled did not comport to the Illinois legislative scheme. The censorship effort was successful as most of the intellectual property associated with Ms. Sykes’ journalistic efforts vanished. In an effort to garner the intellectual property the miscreants caused Ms. Sykes was beaten as stated aforesaid. The Chicago Police were uninterested and the Sheriff’s office indifferent. Efforts by Ms. Sykes to obtain a criminal prosecution were fruitless!

Lost were transcripts of Court proceedings. The transcripts document the unusual proceeding that took place in the Circuit Court of Cook County and establish that Mary Sykes’ liberty, property, civil rights and human rights were violated and everyone (including yours truly) who attempted to help was subject to harassment and intimidation). Thousands of pages of material including a copy of Government Accounting Office report to Congress detailing dozens of other elder abuse cases that the Courts systematically denied were removed. Ms. Sykes has carried on this fight on her own. CBS has done at least one interview – it was quashed!

All that said, Gloria Sykes as a pro-se is attempting to recover her intellectual property in the Circuit Court - she filed a Petition for a Rule to Show cause. It is my understanding that the matter is scheduled for January 3, 2013. The respect (noun) for the 4^th estate’s work product and the First Amendment are issues that journalist Gloria Sykes is raising before the Circuit Court. She is protesting that by the simple procedure of a Forcible Entry and Detainer action our new national socialists were able to thwart the efforts of an award winning journalist to expose the perfidy and corruption that rival that of the Greylord Scandal. The only difference is that the victim in this case is unprotected and helpless to defend him/herself.

It appears to citizens that David Gregory’s grandstand action is protected journalism; however, it also appears that the exposure of Elder Abuse, the Financial Exploitation of the Elderly, and the systemic forfeiture of liberty, property, civil and human rights of the disabled is not! Yes, Tiny Tim, this is American in 2013! The Wall Street Journal should do a story on the Mary Sykes and Gloria Sykes adventure with the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois Probate Division – that story is much more important than ‘grandstanding’ with an illegal cartridge magazine.

Sincerely,

Ken Ditkowsky
