My mother used to look at the public official who invoked religion
My mother used to look at the public official who invoked religion in his presentation with a jaundiced eye. The fellow who talked the most about integrity when closely examined appeared to have the least, and the largest donors to the church in too many cases were attempting to purchase absolution with dollars.
It occurred to me that I have been ranting about the need to protect America’s core values and how the corrupt judges, corrupt lawyers, corrupt judicial and public officials ***** were all assaulting them. Am I being viewed with that same jaundiced eye? Should I be? This morning I read on the Wall Street Journal web site the following article, to wit:
The health care industry has a massive fraud coefficient. It has been estimated at 700% fraud and growing. The Elder Cleansing Industry (isolation, abuse, and exploitation, deprivation of liberty, humanity and property rights of the elderly terminating in assisted involuntary citizenship) is fueled by this fraud. The fraud is metastatic and has polluted our political system like a stage 4 cancer. Looking at the Sykes case 09 P4585 and the Gore case over four million dollars has been stolen by fiduciary Court appointed guardians and their 18 USCA 371 and 18 USCA 242 comrades. Indeed, the Illinois Department of Revenue knowing the State is bankrupt has not camped on Mr. Jerome Larkin’s door and demanded that he as a 18 USCA 371 and 18 USCA 242 co-conspirator pay the taxes, interest, and penalties he owes as the result of his participation in the cover-up. Law enforcement has not hauled Larkin before the dock to answer for his felonies and misuse of his public position in protecting the criminals who are preying on the elderly and the disabled. Hell – he is not even being forced to make the ethics disclosures that all public officials have to provide the public. The Americans with Disabilities Act is mere words! Apparently it is not politically correct to protect the elderly and the disabled from Judicial corruption.
When Jerome Larkin’s gang of hoodlums and criminals deprived Lanre Amu of Equal Protection of the Law and attempted to racially cleanse the legal profession of an uppity **** who had the temerity to complain concerning a respected judge who openly and notorious exhibited her contempt for the Law, honesty, and decency in open Court not a protest emanated from the media or our political system. The assassination of Amu’s civil and human rights was ignored. The obvious fact that he was a ‘man of color’ who refused to accept institutionalized judicial corruption merited in the eyes of the legal establishment that he was such a danger to the community that his law license had to be summarily suspended, and after a sham hearing worthy of the gulag he be suspended for three years. The media, the political establishment, and even the civil rights establishment was silent. Regrettably, for too long I was also silent.
Indeed, when Civil Rights Icon Diane Nash was denied public accommodation in the hearing room wherein a sham Kangaroo hearing was being held for Attorney JoAnne Denison I was not silent. My protest was however polite. (That is the code word for benign!) I sent an e-mail to Jerome Larkin demanding an apology. I suggested that one of his insincere apologies would suffice. I would like to think that I was being sarcastic. The test would be determined if I sent a copy of my note to Ms. Nash. However, the long and short was the fact that Larkin and his co-conspirators did not apologize and the legal lynching of Attorney Amu continues with the blessing of the entire court system. The Dred Scottdecision apparently remains the Law of the Land.
Whether I am a phony or not really does not matter – America is in crisis. The corruption is flowing from every pore of our democracy. We have candidates for high public office who are strangers to the truth, embrace Bankruptcy as an acceptable business practice, and who demonstrate that they are above the law. Unfortunately, the trend continues. Yesterday, a family member of a victim cried out that when she tried in Florida to eliminate one of the elder cleansing guardianships, her father suddenly died! Others across the United States related similar experiences. I noted that I asked a question at a hearing in which a nursing home was trying to obtain a guardianship that exposed the frugality with the truth of one of the paid experts and my client suddenly developed a fatal condition and died. Of course there are no criminal prosecutions! The spoliation of evidence is rampant and standard operating procedure. JoAnne Denison in her blog mentioned that fact. Larken’s stooge and co-conspirator wrote in a document filed with the Lawyer Disciplinary Commission and the Illinois Supreme Court that Denison’s blog in disclosing pursuant lawyer Rule 8.3 and 18 USCA 4 judicial corruption was akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater. The Supreme Court of Illinois agreed and Denison received an interim suspension of her law license and a 3 year suspension.
The Operation Greylord scandal looms in the background reminding everyone that Illinois (and many other States) elect judges. More than a score of judges went to jail for corruption. The chief Judge of the Chancery Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County was reported to have taken a 200 dollar bribe! Several score judges had to retire to avoid prosecution. Had Larkin and his 18 USCA 371 comrades had their way the Federal investigators who conducted an Honest investigation would have gone to jail and those with law licenses would have received three year suspensions.
The fact remains -- all that appears to be my accomplishment by my complaints has been a four year suspension of my law license and my filling your mail box with my demands for an HONEST investigation.
The bottom line is I do not give a rat’s ass. I do not care whether anyone likes me or not! I have to like myself! I can do this only if I speak out against corruption, injustice, and the elder cleansing scandal. My America will not and cannot tolerate a situation in which it is unsafe to grow old or become infirm. In my America everyone is equal in the eyes of the law and everyone is entitled to Fairness and justice even if they might have a darker hue to their skin that I have. No one has to belong to the “Party” to qualify for protection in America and even those who disagree with me enjoy all the same privileges and immunities as I do. In my America, you and especially me have a duty to protect Jerome Larkin’s rights, privileges and immunities.
As an American citizen the First Amendment gives me the absolute right to scream to the heavens when I rub shoulders with corruption. I need not look the other way when an American citizen has been murdered so that a bunch of political goons can ravage his estate. I need not look the other way when grandmother is isolated, abused, exploited, deprived of her humanity, liberty and property. I need not keep silent and suppress my horror when right here in America a grandmother’s mouth is converted into a gold mine so that the gold in her teeth can be harvested ******
In fact as an American I have a duty to complain and speak out. As a lawyer Rule 8.3 requires me to speak out. As a resident 18 USCA 4 requires me to complaint to law enforcement. Only the corruption of the judicial and political system that is being orchestrated by a small group of miscreants acting in concert stands in the way of my fully exercising my duty to America. As I promised – as long as the Stars and Stripes wave I intend to raise my voice in defense of what I believe to be America’s core principles.
Please note – America’s core PRINCIPLES, not principals is our credo.

Open Letter to Jerome Larkin, Administrator of the Illinois ARDC From Ken Ditkowsky

Open Letter to Jerome Larkin, Administrator of the Illinois ARDC From Ken Ditkowsky
Dozens of friends and family of victims of Elder Cleansing have written to your commission and all have received a letter that said that your agency stating that it was not interested in the obviously criminal conduct of a small group of lawyers being reported. Each complaint was essentially the same. A senior citizen was railroaded into a guardianship in which his/her liberty and property were confiscated. The looting of the estate was accomplished by the direct violation of the directive of 755 ILCS 11a – 3 (b) in that the elderly and/or disabled victim was separated from his/her prior life and family members who would not attorn to the artificial arrangement and the unjust enrichment of judicial and other officials. (other officials include guardians and attorneys). After the looting was complete the elderly person was subjected to a sometimes drawn out involuntary assisted suicide.
Some of the citizen complaints that were not investigated and not acted upon related attorney conduct that is so despicable and wrong that you dishonor the entire legal profession with your refusal to investigate. The mining of the teeth of senior citizen Alice Gore orchestrated by an Illinois lawyer and ignored by your commission is illustrate of the neglect of duty that you have exhibited.
The attempt to silence attorneys who speak out as to corruption in the Courts is another low point in your tenure and is at the very least the aiding and abetting of the felonies associated with elder cleansing.
I written to you and your commission before and asked for you to join in calling for an HONEST intelligent complete and comprehensive investigation of the cottage industry of elder cleansing and in particular that which occurred in the case of Mary Sykes 09 P 4585. You of course have not joined in or conducted any investigation.
The net was you marshalled your kangaroo panels and I am suspended for four years for the exercise of my First Amendment Rights. You then started proceedings against JoAnne Denison who published on her blog some of my First Amendment utterances. Currently, Ms. Denison in response to what appears to be the misreporting of the perjured words and phrases of a Judge you have continued with your ‘cover up’ by refusing Ms. Denison the audio transmission of the testimony.
You have accused me of making false statements but have never articulated a single statement that you claim was or is false. I challenge you and herewith demand for you to instanter provide me and the community with a list of each statement that you claim was false. Then for every statement you claim was false set forth the basis upon which you claim the statement was false. The foregoing notwithstanding the Friends and family of each of the victims of elder cleansing who have written attorney complaints to your commission want to know why you have refused to investigate the violations of the civil, human, property, and liberty rights of their loved ones who have been railroaded into guardianship by Illinois attorneys.
We would like to know why you are protecting certain attorneys and not others. Attorney Miriam Solo has been accused by the family of Alice Gore of what amounts to a human rights violation. Adam Stern, Cynthia Farenga, Peter Schmiedel and other have been accused by Gloria Sykes and the family of Mary Sykes of very very serious violations of Mary Sykes’ fundamental liberty rights. This list is endless and each complaining person wants to know why you are not leading the investigation into the human rights It has not gone un-noticed that there is no ethics statement that can be found for you. The ethics statements being your disclosure of assets and liabilities required by the State.
A person placed in the position of judging the conduct of others should be able and willing to demonstrate at the drop of hat that he is more virtuous than Caesar’s wife.

Top New York Court Protects The Right To Annoy
Top New York Court Protects The Right To Annoy
By IT-Lex Intern Kristin Bergman (Twitter /
Anyone that thinks that the world of academia is dull, is in for a surprise with a recent decision from New York’s highest court. As we wrote over a year ago, (then disbarred) attorney Raphael Golb “concocted an elaborate scheme” impersonating scholars in emails and posting anonymously to blogs in order to defend and promote his father’s research on the Dead Sea Scrolls. For this campaign, Golb was convicted of identity theft, criminal impersonation, forgery, aggravated harassment, and unauthorized use of a computer. The New York appellate court affirmed Golb’s sentence of six months in jail and five years probation.
This month, the New York Court of Appeals vacated several of these convictions—including all of the counts of identity theft, aggravated harassment, and unauthorized use of a computer, and about one-third of the counts of criminal impersonation. This leaves Golb with misdemeanor convictions for on nine counts of criminal impersonation and 10 counts of identity theft.
In its opinion, the Court considered the harm contemplated by criminal impersonation charges. Under a New York criminal statute, a person is guilty of criminal impersonation when he or she “impersonates another and does an act in such assumed character with intent to obtain a benefit or to injure or defraud another.” The Court determined that the harm may come in a form other than monetary loss, such injury to reputation—very important in academia. That said, to be criminalized, a prosecutor must demonstrate “intent to cause a tangible, pecuniary injury to another . . . more than a prank intended to cause temporary embarrassment or discomfiture, and that he acted with intent to do real harm.” The Court distinguished creating email accounts in other scholars’ names from the malicious use of those accounts, holding:
[T]he mere creation of email accounts [impersonating scholars] (in contrast to the use of those accounts to send emails) does not constitute criminal conduct under Penal Law § 190.25. The mere creation of email accounts that are not used does no substantial harm to anyone.
It therefore dismissed those counts involving solely the creation of the email accounts or emails where Golb merely asked for the recipient’s opinion.
The Court went on to hold that New York’s aggravated harassment statute “is unconstitutionally vague and overbroad,” vacating Golb’s conviction under the statute. Extending People v Dietze’s reasoning, in which the Court struck down a harassment statute prohibiting use of obscene language with the intent to even annoy another, the Court quoted “any proscription of pure speech must be sharply limited to words which, by their utterance alone, inflict injury or tend naturally to evoke immediate violence.” Invoking the incitement doctrine, the Court found New York’s current statute similarly overbroad and unconstitutional. It said simply: “The statute criminalizes, in broad strokes, any communication that has the intent to annoy”—and its sweeping language violates free speech clauses in the First Amendment and New York’s own Constitution.
The Court remitted the case to the appellate court for resentencing in accordance with this order dismissing about one-third of the convictions.
