Well kids, I don't believe, not even for a minute, that the straw that broke the camel's back was the real end of the story....because, mostly, it's nowhere near the end of mine.
No, Saturday, I received a letter from the director of DHS...yes, Charles M. Palmer himself. It was not long after reading this pile of....whatever it was, that I realized just where his underlings got their dogged aggressiveness (apparent and visible only due to their complete immunity to prosecution), their fondness of quoting their beliefs, and their accusatory manners from. Here, for your reading pleasure is this current additional straw:
I obviously wasn't thinking, when some folks that have been trying to help me suggested that I NOT BOTHER contacting Senator Charles Grassley, who, although he was designated as "the man who would help you with state and federal agencies", in case you had no clue how to do so; he also knows as much about these government agencies as you do, and knows no better how to deal with them. His magical way of dealing with the issue is simply....and call whoever's in charge; which in this case is the very man responsible for all that goes on in DHS of Iowa, and that person then "clears up the story" with his version of it, then tells Charles how that person can handle his problem. Nice. Helpful too, I might add. You guys were right, don't bother.
I also remember that same person trying to tell me that, once he did speak to who I was having a problem with, that whatever that person said to Charles would be told me word for word. Well obviously, the director of DHS, the guy who makes all the rules and calls the shots is going to tell me the thing I want to hear least....Jump through our hoops and bow low to all of DHS and the local court, and all will be well. Should you refuse, however, your rights are going to be terminated. Period.
Wah waah, wah wah wah waaah....it's like a Peanuts parent. It's letters like these that make life worth living. Here then, is my response to this little miracle cure:
Mr. Palmer,
I suppose I should begin this letter by stating that it’s just this sort response that I expected from one who would be in charge of such a department of State Government, and now, since experiencing it, understand so much better the attitudes and statements made by all employed by you, for they are identical. No one cares to hear my side of this story, anything I’d like to state or say about the matter, nor does anyone choose to contemplate obvious and evidentiary facts to the contrary whatsoever. Nothing upsets me more than those who are blind to everything, simply because they refuse to see. What’s more, I’ve managed to survive nearly 5 1/2 months of this version of what you demand of citizens like us, and now I’m just fed up with it all. I am a veteran of these United States, and one of the millions of other veterans responsible for the way you live and breath today...and this is how you show your appreciation?
I thereby recognize the need to submit to you, this: That this department most certainly did; with malice; steal my daughter. For one, I should make you aware that a hearing involving our assessment will be held in time, and all truths involved with the ILLEGAL and UNFOUNDED removal of our daughter will be finally brought to light. I have in my possession, an 18 minute recording of the ENTIRE interaction that took place prior to the removal order signing, which you state the mother signed willingly. The recording is very clear, and both voices extremely recognizable as belonging to both the mother and the worker involved, SW 04 Emily Nieman. You want to know how I know it's her, personally?? I can feel her voice as it makes its way from her cold unfeeling black heart to her pale lips as they spit out condescension at the object of her loathing, this lower-classed black woman. Pretty much the same feeling I got when I first looked into those eyes as she blatantly without the blink of an eye, purjured herself on the stand at our removal hearing, as she looked at the mother and smiled. Long have I waited to play this recording for someone of consequence, for it clearly shows that not only did this evil callous worker hound the mother to give the baby up to Save Haven, one of your affiliate facilities over and over again (even though this mother had obviously decided to keep the baby, since she took this baby home and hadn’t even mentioned Safe Haven on this visit)...the worker brought this up again prior to the beginning of THIS stay, simply because of what she’d read of the social worker’s report back when the baby was born, stating that the mother had simply "asked for information". She then stated that she provided the mother with brochures, then listed them...and among those was one about Safe Haven. The worker then latched onto this, and pounded the mother with this option anew. She then (or may have just as well) beat the mother over the head to make her sign the baby into foster care, since the mother rejected this option, utilizing legal duress, with directly quoted phrases like “I’m afraid it’s out of my hands now, "she’s already in the court system”, “it’s already been court ordered”, and “she’s going into foster care today”, and, finally; “if you don’t sign this, it’ll look bad to the judge in court”, forcing the mother to believe she would get in legal trouble if she didn’t sign this paper.
This was after she had interviewed us, and had told us she had dismissed the report, as, simply, vindictive behavior on the part of the reporter (which of course, it was). Then, your worker, who had already assessed, during the course of her interview with us, evidently (according to her assessment report, that is), that this child was in imminent danger (of what I wonder?)...and immediately proceeded to leave her in that imminent danger for over 15 hours before returning the next day to kidnap her and the mother (sounds like she maybe WASN’T in so much imminant danger then, right?), first, making sure that the father was nowhere around to interfere. My wife was an excellent target, and I would have asked questions, nor would I have signed anything without an attorney first). take them to Methodist under the pretense that they were only attending a physicians appointment, then checked the baby in; again, for no listed reasons; only their supposed “Concerns”. All of her tests, done by these physicians were fine. She then lied to the mother again by telling her it would beovernight. My wife, of course, had only brought diapers along (because she had fed her just prior to leaving; as well as thinking it was only to be an hour or two that they’d be gone), and asked to leave to get more things to stay overnight (and this fact, in your worker’s assessment is conveniently left out, because then it would come out that she did NOT PRESENT HER EXPECTATIONS FOR THE WEEKEND, as stated in her assessment, but instead lied to her and told her it would be overnight because of a supposed electrolytes test, and then she could take the baby home) and check on our dog, who had been alone for 4 hours by now and this worker responded by telling the mother that if she left the baby at the hospital now, she’d be abandoning the baby at the hospital (in the care of DHS workers and a hospital full of doctors and nurses....right), then offered the mother a ride home some 20 minutes later. Then THEY left together, effectively abandoning the baby at the hospital as they left (??). She then drove my wife to the drug testing facility so that my wife could (willingly, well within the time frame the worker had asked her to the day before. The facility you use doesn’t open ‘til 11, and Liz had been with this worker at Methodist during all this time) take her drug test...and abandoned her there, where no busses ran that time of day, and she ended up doing her test, then walked home; then, after packing and telling me everything that had happened, ate, then left to take the bus back to the hospital. Not because I told her to, nor did Emily tell her she had to. She did this on her own. Shame on her for being so neglectful, right? This served to create, in the hospital’s documentation of my wife in order to find her guilty of neglect, a very long period of time in which to initially claim her as neglectful and having her priorities mixed up. Then, the paid and overly attentive staff of Methodist watched her like a hawk, waiting for her to drop the ball and sleep, eat or leave to have a scheduled feed happen by the staff, in order to show her as neglectful. She was never neglectful or carefree concerning our daughter, or she would have never stayed the entire weekend (of her OWN VOLITION) until she had done what she never wanted to do...what your worker FORCED her to do. She was raped, mentally, and was deprived of our daughter illegally, and MY constitutionally provisioned parental rights were both violated as well as completely bypassed as being needed to do so.
I’m sorry sir, but no newborn baby on this earth eats at the exact same time spans, so much formula, 24 hours every day in a 3 days period. I dare you to find me 3 such babies in an hour’s time....a day’s time. Even a week’s time. There is no such thing. 2nd, I equally implore of you to find me a first time mother who wakes up on the dot every so long or so all day every day to feed said baby, especially in the first week or two of that baby’s life. Finally, the baby weighed more than she did at her birth, and had gained weight; something Methodist’s website says the baby doesn’t do until after 2 weeks of her life. That this baby was more than well-fed is obvious just by weighing her. That fact, as well as every doctor finding NOTHING wrong with her to indicate neglect or abuse, should have proven this accusation most certainly false, right from the beginning. Instead, these doctors, who work for the other entity due to benefit greatly from this child being in the system; check her in and say, in their discharge plan, to “Hold the baby until DHS finds alternate placement for her”....on day one, before neglect is even documented, as well as long before a court order is found to be necessary even. Every reason on this court order is either fabricated, due to be suppressed, is EASILY able to be refuted or a twisted or partially omitted fact. Neglect wasn’t even an initial charge stated by the reporter. There was drugs and drug dealing (she alleges), and her statement that we were not feeding the baby at ALL...and that they had, up to that point, been her caregiver. This, of course is not only ludicrous, but impossible as well. They claimed they came up only to take care of this baby....yet arrived on July 4th, over 2 weeks before the baby was even born. They were upset that I hadn’t told them she was close to delivering her baby; a fact I didn’t even know until their arrival. This was because her husband hated children, especially being around newborns...and yet they were there only to take care of the child....hmm. What’s more, after her report to DHS, she was, as is stated in the assessment; never able to be reached again...Gee, I wonder why. More than likely because she didn’t have any need to...she knew what your department would do; the damage was as good as done, so why push the issue; or, more than likely, why place herself in a position where she would have to remember what lies she told or have to corroborate facts...no, that would only lead to her eventually being deemed as not being credible. She then opted to remain out of contact. It payback for kicking her and her husband out; we had asked her nicely to find other living arrangements when the baby was born, because I had no intention of having a newborn in an efficiency apartment with four adults living there. Not only that, but they had literally sucked us dry of food and cash, before this baby was born...your reporter and your worker stated that I started an ad on a funding site, and in the CINA petition, Ms. Nieman states that we were “crying poor”...like she knew completely our situation. We weren’t CRYING poor. Thanks to the reporter, we WERE poor. she would have to remember what lies she told or have to corroborate facts...no, that would only lead to her eventually being deemed as not being credible. She then opted to remain out of contact. It payback for kicking her and her husband out; we had asked her nicely to find other living arrangements when the baby was born, because I had no intention of having a newborn in an efficiency apartment with four adults living there. Not only that, but they had literally sucked us dry of food and cash, before this baby was born...your reporter and your worker stated that I started an ad on a funding site, and in the CINA petition, Ms. Nieman states that we were “crying poor”...like she knew completely our situation. We weren’t CRYING poor. Thanks to the reporter, we WERE poor. These people had drained us of resources, and it was a move of desperation...and SOMETHING THE REPORTER had suggested to try!. It also states in the assessment that we hadn’t applied for assistance at all, even though we were very familiar with the available help. This is very much a massive lie; by the time this reporter had shown up at our door, we had already had food stamps, had already applied for FIP with your department, the mother signed up for Medicaid and WIC at the birthing, and I had been working with Primary Healthcare for almost 2 weeks.
There were, already, several reports of her harassment of us by the time Ms. Nieman arrived at our door, as well as a bevy of Des Moines Police officers that had been involved in our situation with the reporter by this time. Of course, there is her contact with the reporter and her story....and, lastly, Ms. Nieman had not only our full relation of our side of the story; as well as numerous blog posts that tell it all, and said she had spoken with all of the officers involved...yet she claims in the assessment as well as in the CINA petition that “Friends or relatives came from out of state to take care of the baby (2 weeks before she was born)...it’s not clear which, but there was some sort of falling out, and they left”....like she had no clue who these people were exactly, if they were friends or relatives, and that it was “some sort of falling out”, even though officers and police reports had been read, our side told, and her side told. She was quite clear on what had happened here....yet claimed AND wrote about the whole thing like she hadn’t a single clue.
After 72 long hours at the hospital, Ms. Nieman returned to find the mother mentally and physically exhausted; I’m sure, just like she’d expected....from here, there was no or little effort needed to convince this mother that she was in trouble and needed to give her baby up. Let’s not even discuss that this mother has NEVER had ANY truck or experience with the law or DHS...and believed without a doubt that she would be in trouble if she didn’t sign, due to her complete naivete.
On that matter, a motion is being remitted, again, this time utilizing the aforementioned latin phrase of Nunc Pro Tunc (which shouldn’t matter...signatures are only good for a year, and rescissions are good IMMEDIATELY, whether the judge rules it so or not), and will be accepted as valid this time by the judge, or we’ll just add that to the Writ of Mondamus’ list of things to look at when the Supreme Court views all of this judge’s illegal misdeeds in this court.
Ms. Nieman also says, on this same recording, quite clearly, that she’s going to read the order to Elizabeth, then have her initial every sentence she reads to her, in this recording; yet Elizabeth’s initials (as she has written them for years and will be shown as proof with documents that she’s had toinitial in the past), are disturbingly absent, and written in the order as X’s, meaning that Ms. Nieman already had this order filled out for her, thereby committing forgery; then forced her, under legal duress; to sign it. In her assessment, it states that she read and explained every line, yet no explanation for the lines she chose to read is given at all, and, like I stated before, half of this order she never let Elizabeth see or hear before it was signed; nor does she explain anything that might be helpful to this mother at ALL. Ms. Nieman only chose to read those items that would not cause a possible argument from the mother. She completely skipped very serious lines; such as the reasons for the removal (because she knew full well the reasons she did use were either lies or twisted truths), and conveniently left out all of the lines that explained the mother’s rights in all of this.
Oh, and by the way, it’s been determined already that the petition she briefly refers to, the CINA petition, was never served on or to the defendants in this case via this department, OR by the D.A.’s office, OR by the lawyers who, at that time, represented the both of us; and that the signatures on the documents that state these defendants as having received this document are either copied or scanned and placed on these from other documents or forged. This clearly proves, not only fraud on the part of this worker and this department, but also shows that she forged my wife’s “initials” on the order, in order to legally indicate that my wife heard and understood everything on it (regardless of the obvious fact that most of the important parts were not covered at all); then forced her to sign it under legal duress. It has also been noted that the judge’s signature, which is usually stamped on documents such as this, not signed, is signed here, but in no way resembles this judge’s signature; and therefore was also obviously forged by this worker on the order as well. This also goes to prove this judge’s crooked and illegal actions in allowing this worker to do so. This I have gotten just from the FIRST 8 MINUTES OF THIS RECORDING (I can barely stand to listen to more than ten seconds of it at a time, considering how callous this worker is towards my wife). Imagine what more I might find in listening to the last 10 minutes of it.
The only reason this has gone on as long as it has is for 2 reasons...your immunity and confidentiality, and America’s ignorance of the code and the actions you’re able to get away with because of it. There’s also the fact that, in our grief at losing our daughter, we had forgotten that we had recorded your worker’s interaction until after the adjudication. According to Judge Price, the removal was now a fact of life, the recording was too late to help. Had we remembered it the same day it happened, we wouldn’t even be talking right now, it would have all ended in the removal hearing. We will, however, be utilizing “Nunc Pro Tunc” to turn back the clock soon enough.
Also in my possession are two cups from your pet drug facility on Merle Hay road hat show with very clear evidence that NO results are shown in performing them (and is witnessed appropriately); and that either the drug facility itself or by the order of DHS, continues to claim these defendants dirty for drugs they have never used without proof or merit, save results of the lab they send these results to; with whoever’s dirty urine or hair samples they are using to show these results.. We will be asking for all the records of this drug facility, not only to show DHS’s obvious involvement with, and their collusion with them’ to produce such results in order to keep children in the system in order to produce profits; but will serve the dual purpose of finding other clients that will testify to this falsification of results as well as to the massive changes in the condition of this facility because of the accusations of all I wrote about it in my blog post about them. My wife has never even seen this drug, et alone used it, yet was found to be two times as dirty for it as I was (and I barely squeaked over the dirty line), even after the cordstadt test just 3 weeks prior that found both her and the baby clean as a whistle.
Before I hear yet another carefully phrased word about this from you in reply, keep in mind that every....single...word of this very crucial initial (and illegal) removal interaction (as is EVERY SINGLE INTERACTION between these defendants and this department, as well as with FSRP workers and their supervisors) is VERY CLEARLY RECORDED, AND WILL BE IMMEDIATELY TRANSCRIBED FOR YOU AND OTHERS TO READ, THEN FILED AS EVIDENCE IN THE HEARING SOON TO BE HELD, CONCERNING THIS ASSESSMENT, as well as in the remainder of our hearings. Your responses to me will duly be added to the documenting in this case as well.
This judge, William A. Price; who quite obviously only listens to and believes all words spoken by the prosecution and DHS (which will also be brought in a separate action I intend to file immediately following the ruling AGAINST US in the permanency hearing...we here on the defense know full well he will, regardless of any facts available to the contrary, do so; as he has in EVERY hearing. This judge makes up his own facts or accepts all as factual from the prosecution side, yet totally disregards or doesn’t even acknowledge ANY fact to the contrary from our side) will be brought up on charges of bias with a Writ of Mondamus, bringing the Iowa Supreme Court into this action; and all further hearings will be put on hold, and every bit of bias that this Judge and this court has implemented against the defendants, and every wrong done these defendants by your department will be embarrassingly brought right to the fore. If I have my way about it, all involved in this action against the defendants shall lose their positions, including any directors who might choose to back up their illegal actions. I strongly suggest, with this ammunition in my possession, as well as other rather illegal actions implemented by your employees, that you choose the words of your next letter to me in response, very carefully.
I’m only going to say this in conclusion. Not ALL that your department has done against these defendants is fully known to your department, its workers, the prosecution, or to the United States of America, as most of it is, in my blog. There is much more I’ve saved back, for the sole purpose of implementing future actions to tear down and rebuild your child protective unit and the laws that protect their actions; in order to bring back the good I’m sure this department was meant to do when this portion of DHS was born. I intend to also get this department stripped of its more corruptible elements, such as immunity and confidentiality. Don’t be surprised, sir, when you are asked to resign as director of your department someday yourself, for if you should so choose to continue in your dream of naive ignorance (another wronged grandparent told me that, in a meeting you had with her, you claimed ignorance of the fact that your workers were immune to prosecution. I find that the director would laughably be ignorant of so important a fact, imperative as it is, I’m sure, to its very survival), I’m sure we can manage to convince more of your actual knowledge of your department, as well as its actions against the citizens of this state.
Your worker, responsible for the removal of our daughter, lied, kidnapped both mother and daughter, then committed forgery and perjury in this court, and all will be found as such, not only in our appeal to the assessment (in which your worker lied about us over 50+ times), but in the Writ of Mondamus, soon to be implemented, finding this judge to be more than biased in this case. If these entities do not respond favorably to all the evidence these defendants have against your department, then the opinion of the United States Supreme Court will be sought, and your plan to steal our daughter will be brought there as well.
Included, for your listening pleasure, will be a copy of the recording of Ms. Nieman having this child removed. Proof I have of your departments actions, as well as those of Methodist hospital in collusion with them, shall be sent with this letter to you, or is readily available in each post carrying the title of “Going for the B***S” or “The B&S Railroad Job” in my blog, found here at:
http://themightyswordamericas26deadlysins.blogspot.com
The stats of this blog speak for themselves, where America’s “Need to know” are concerned; in just 9 months, I have over 2000 Twitter followers I never asked for, as well as nearly 125,000 views between the blog and my Google+ profile. Have someone knowledgeable in social media be sure and show you how to access my list of unpaid for and unsolicited Twitter followers, where you will find citizens of all political views, many of them quite well known or famous; including senators, representatives, the head of the Independant Party, Obama’s former campaign manager, and patriots and veterans of every type. I also write an additional Iowa/Des Moines blog, where I also post these stories. I do not advertise on either blog, nor do I drive traffic to them in any way. This number is only as small as it is because I’ve had time for very little between my job and this court. Once the court hearings have ceased, however, I will have more than enough time to concentrate on posting this story over and over again, and will easily raise the views to over 1,000,000 + in less than an additional month or two. There are also members of a Tea Party group who promise me a readership of massive proportions, should I remit a nutshelled copy of this story to them, which is currently in the between the blog and my Google+ profile.

Please note, also, while on my blog page, that all of the most read posts involve your department and our court actions. I also write an additional Iowa/Des Moines blog, where I also post these stories. I do not advertise on either blog, nor do I drive traffic to them in any way.

They swear a viewing of over 1,000,000 is more than possible, as well.
Finally, keep in mind also that after all that has happened; should this judge continue in his bias against these defendants; the child permanently placed elsewhere and our rights terminated; the promised definitive actions soon to be implemented shall most certainly NOT be the last of MANY future actions I plan to bring against your corrupt department. You may be ALL legally immune to prosecution for your direct involvement in our child’s removal, but there are numerous concurrent and relevant actions that do not involve the removal that I can bring on the side, and full charges will be applied to them. I will, therefore, give you one final chance to rid yourself of these future nuisances in court, as well as the sight of these parents on the other side as they milk you and your department for all you hold dear. Drop all charges against these defendants; purge all records; and return our daughter; and I may forego this legal war. Keep all in place, and I will not rest until all I have stated is done, all of Iowa and this country knows of it fully; and your department, the way it sits anyway, is a distant memory in the eyes of the citizens of Iowa and all laws protecting it, revoked. If your current Governor won’t do so, then I will soon take his place and do it myself. Of course, If it takes that much effort to bring true justice to these defendants, I might as well just promise that ALL of DHS will be disbanded and rebuilt anew. That fact you can more than bank on.
The exact letter you are reading, as well as all the proof you have in your possession, has been, by this time, packaged up and posted to both your superiors in Kansas City; as well as to the offices of Charles Grassley, just as you did. If that doesn’t work, I know of those above them as well. We’ll see how they deal with the situation. And, of course, immediately if not sooner, the same letter will, as usual, be posted on the very blog your worker uses to claim as evidentiary, and factual, no bond with our daughter, with millions of views soon to come.
You claim in the order that the father has no bond with this baby. Then why the hell do I fight so diligently to get our daughter back? I may have no biological bond with this child maybe, yet, if I am “bond-less” as you allege, why am I still here, after almost 6 months of this, still talking uselessly to the director of this soon to be barely remembered branch of State about it? Surely Kansas City isn’t nearly as lenient, where these grave errors are concerned; if nothing else, when applied to federal laws and guidelines.
Oh, and by the way, one more little thing. Liz does INDEED have Indian in her, and I’ll be quick to point that out to the person who might be responsible for addressing that one. That person will, of course, inquire of Ms. Nieman why, after she so responded that she DID on the recording, that Ms. Nieman, instead of selecting “yes” to indicate the mother’s response, instead decided to answer that question for her as “NO” on the order, and we’ll see where we go from there, eh? If you wish to discuss this further, you’re welcome to contact me at 515-XXX-XXXX. I expect that you do and will.
Respectfully,
