Going for the B***S, Part VIII - Suppression of Court Evidence

Here, we will show two suppression motions, to be efiled immediately.  Please, if you will, take note of it, all the while taking further note to observe the smug look of an over-confident and giddy defendant...:D

MOTION TO SUPPRESS:

1.  COMES NOW, Christopher Bruce:  In his motion to suppress, as evidence presented throughout this case, proceeding and open; in first, the removal hearing, held July 29th, 2014, second, the adjudication hearing, held September 12th, 2014, and, in the order and petition; causing the legal removal of the designated child in these proceedings, Trilynn Brueggeman, as legal reasons that have been presented as evidence in this case, also given to have this child removed, legally; I now state, in defiance of the use of this blog as evidence and reported evidence; against these defendants; as unconstitutional; for the court’s records, I now give these reasons:

2.  Because this blog; an editorial piece, presented by this author, Christopher Bruce, as such, and also as his given opinion; concerning any subject, up to and including this case, its facts, as well as his wont to declare his decided opinion concerning all entities involved; is intended to be only a way for this author in which to candidly present, to his audience, feelings and fleeting thoughts concerning whichever subject he should be considering on any given day at any particular time.  These time frames may only take up as many seconds as it takes for a thought to be processed; and should not be framed otherwise by anyone else, who is not the author; who might choose to peruse this blog; as a set time frame for factual statements or to be used in an evidentiary manner.  Hereby, it is the finding of this defendant and author:  that any idea, opinion or thought; expressed in the body of any of these stated editorials, as they are presented; should never be able to be legally brought against any person, who might also be involved in this case; in a legal manner, up to and including the author; or be used as evidence against this or any defendant.

3.  Regardless of this court’s argument, as well may be refuted against this motion, that Iowa Law provides this court, as well as this proceeding, confidentiality for all involved in this case, as well as its content,  the author and defendant in this case, Christopher Bruce, has a God-given Constitutional right, per the first Amendment to its Constitution of the United States; to be able to; per this Federally-mandated right; be able to publish this author’s continued opinion of the facts presented here in this case, the entities who prosecute and rule over this case, as well as the instigators of this case, presented as themselves, and hereby named, as belonging to The Department of Human Services/Child Protective Unit; regardless of its confidentiality; as long as the author refrains from stating these facts as stated, word for word, by its participants; without fear of it being used in an evidentiary or a reported evidentiary manner against the aforementioned author and defendant in this case.

3.  That ALL evidence, presented as fact; as used as evidence or reported evidentiary; in the Order for Removal, the CINA petition, the Removal Hearing, The Adjudication Hearing, as well as any subsequent documents or hearings in which this editorial blog is or will be used as evidence or reported to be such, should be hereby suppressed and no longer used as such evidence, and should also be stricken from all court records as such evidence.  Using editorial opinion as evidence of fact should not be allowed in any court-related legal proceeding, as this action, on the part of the prosecution, presents itself in such a manner as to indirectly or directly, inhibit, prevent or, through threat of intimidation or deprivation of freedom, would serve to deprive this author, as well as any given defendant; of their wont to express said opinion, thereby becoming direct in its attempt to suppress this author’s wont to express the afore-mentioned ideal, thought, or opinion; defining these actions; as taken by any court in any such legal action; to mean they desire, through whatever indirect means, to cease any effort made by the author and/or defendant, to express his opinion, a right given freely by the afore-mentioned Amendment.

I now hereby move that all evidence, presented in the form of evidence, or reported as such, and used by the prosecution against this author, the defendant, and his wife, be hereby stricken from all court documents or reports; and in the hearings, stated as fact, also involved in this case, as well as from all court records which might describe the proceedings of this case.  Any further use or mention of this blog in an evidentiary manner in this case will subsequently involve a United States Supreme Court action and ruling to be brought against the prosecuting and trier-of-fact entities involved in this case.

MOTION TO SUPPRESS:

COMES NOW, Christopher Bruce, in his motion to suppress, as evidence entered, exhibits 2 and 3 from the Adjudication Hearing, held September 12, 2014, at the Polk County Courthouse.

1.  These exhibits, presented and named as Hair test Elizabeth Bruce, and Hair test Christopher Bruce, are false, as well as beyond the scope of Iowa Code, section 232.73 as required in a CINA action, where drug allegations are involved.  I hereby request this court to suppress this evidence, until proof is provided by this facility, that the samples were not or able to be tampered with, as well as witnessed by another employee working for Family Services of Iowa, a DHS choice (as well as an obvious benefactor from this entity) for its drug testing of defendants in their actions against them.  This is proved as such, because assessments, done by EFR, another such DHS choice (as well as another obvious benefactor from this entity), following drug testing, is obviously ordered, by DHS and by the trier-of-fact involved in this action (as found as fact in a statement made by the trier-of-fact, Judge William A. Price, stated as a certainty as to the results of an assessment against ANY defendant involved in such an action, that drug abuse training will be found to be required of the defendants, AFTER such an assessment, proving to be fact, as well as leaving no possibility that any other assessment result will be considered, i.e., these defendants do NOT use drugs, and need no drug abuse training).

2.  I also bring, in an effort to back up the reason for this suppression, that we already know there were no witnesses available at the time of our testing that will willingly attest to the safety of these samples, or that would be able to guarantee them tamper-proof, since the responsible participating party who administered the test was operating the facility by themselves, this fact being personally and obviously witnessed by the defendants being tested in this interaction.

3.  That the mother, during her birth at Methodist, came up clean in her cord stat test, done at the hospital following the child’s birth.  Had the mother been using at any time, during or before the birth, the results of the hair stat test would have proven their existence to include that time as well.  It did NOT.

4.  There is clear and convincing evidence that will be provided to this court at a later date, that will show this mother as having severe asthma, severe enough that a single hit of Marijuana, used by this defendant 5 years ago, produced an emergency situation in the mother that could very well have included her death.  To allege this mother as using meth internally is ludicrous at best, per this evidence.

5.  There is clear and convincing evidence that shows the amount that the defendants showed in these results could only be determined as environmentally acquired, if the results were indeed factual at all.  Users of this drug have come to show results closer to 2000-3000 pg/mg.  The father, who claimed in his blog, which will be suppressed as evidence soon enough, claimed to POSSIBLY be dirty for this drug, only in environmental conditions, and only produced a showing of 558, barely over the cutoff result, showing his as the ONLY possibly factual result in this instance, but only because of his blog and the statements made therein.  The mother’s results, as aforementioned, are physically impossible, as this mother has neither used, nor been around other users of this drug in her entire life; as she is aware of, yet showed a result almost twice as large as the father’s result, at 852 pg/mg, also not a number of an average user’s much larger proportions, so, should also be ruled as environmentally acquired, again, even if the evidence is indeed factual.

6.  I hereby move to suppress this evidence, used as fact in the adjudication hearing, held and ruled September 12, 2014.

GOING FOR THE B***S, PART VII (The Upcoming Disbarment of Daily Maize)

http://abstract.desktopnexus.com/wallpaper/485783/

OMG KIDS!!!  the UNMITIGATED GALL OF THESE PEOPLE!!  DIDNT YOU PEOPLE IN THE COURT HEAR WHAT I SAID IN THE COURT STATEMENTS?  SENATOR GRASSLEY IS NOW INVOLVED, and, against your immunity and confidentially, is more than allowed to view ALL of these court documents....without being able to be stopped, WHILE YOUR RIDICULOUS CASE IS WIDE OPEN....You like apples?  How you like THOSE apples?

Here, I will state, that Dale Mays, the snakey lawyer, who works for Benzoni Law Firm (SNAKE PIT, EVIDENTLY), has asked to resign as my wife's attorney...but get this...remember that little move he pulled, in an attempt to cut off my ability to get court documents needed by these parents to defend themselves, and making Elizabeth pay for 2 state appointed attorneys on minimum wage + at $8.25, all while living at the homeless shelter...you would not BELIEVE WHAT THIS SNAKE just tried to pull over our eyes...  Well, believe it, because I'm pulling the wool off.  The sheep shall know it ALL, BELIEVE THAT, as will Senator Grassley's office.

Here, I will state (as a restated quote, so as not to IDENTICALLY reveal anything from a confidential juvenile case document) that Attorney Dale Mays, just tried to file a motion to withdraw as the wife's council, and stated in his third reason that after I threatened his Bar status for doing this to her against her better interests, that I gave, as a reason, that I was mad at him for making her file another affidavit, allowing the court to claim her as indigent and be able to help her with her attorney fees...like nobody would notice that he was COVERING HIS ASS FOR HIS STUPID MISTAKE, as well as "His Honor"'s ass for signing such an order.  Here then, was my soon to be efiled rebuttal to CORRECT the FACT STATED IN that motion...ENJOY!!

Comes now Christopher Bruce in his motion to modify reasons given to withdraw:

1.  It is stated, as reason to withdraw #3, in Attorney Dale Mays’ Motion to Withdraw that:



(this is the confidential part that I cannot repeat, for fear of imprisonment...good thing I paraphrased it above...because I couldn't copy it into this document)



The actual fact is, that this attorney received an email from the father, this date stated, what is claimed, but that my reason was NOT that council had requested (I would imagine this to also be at this Judge’s request that he do so) his client, Ms. Bruce, fill out a financial affidavit which would enable the court to make a finding of indigency and appoint her counsel...that had been done AT FIRST, back in July.

On September 5th, this counsel, against his client’s best interests, after this client had just started back to work at her part time job at $8.25, had his client, with her full trust, sign yet another financial affidavit, just five weeks after being claimed indigent and able to receive a state court appointed attorney, in order to have her state her income, with no expenses (because she WAS INDIGENT AT THIS TIME, staying at a homeless shelter, as ALL, including the trier-of-fact, and the county attorney, as well as DHS were duly aware, and in search of permanent housing with obvious expenses in order for us to effectively reunify with our child, since the courts have, throughout all of our hearings, claimed this as their primary reason for not doing so), in order for the Judge, William A Price to sign this affidavit to claim her NOT INDIGENT, to, effectively, force the mother to pay for all of this attorney’s services, as well as her baby’s attorney’s services...all on $700 gross a month.  This served the dual purpose of effectively eliminating any possibility that the father, whose rights to view confidential documents already had been cut off, could not, without fees, access the same documents, rendering the family as unable to defend itself.

It should also be brought before this court, that no more affidavits have been requested, even at another 6 weeks of passage.  This is because then, the court would have to find her indigent yet again, due to her now having apartment, bills and food expenses, and no better income.  This will be filed and corrected immediately for the courts records.  Nice try Dale and Judge.  This one’s going to be on the books as it happened, not stated incorrectly to disprove your bias.  If this statement of fact is not corrected immediately, I will file these emails, from and to the mother, as proof of your attempted deceit.  I’ll leave that decision in the Judges hands.

And Mr. Mays?  This obviously giant paragraph long typographical error goes on your record as well, as trying to cover up your grevous and disbarable error...to further prove your need for disbarment."

SEE?  I TOLD YOU NOVEMBER WAS GONNA BE FUN FOR ME!!  WAS I LYIN'?

Now kids?  If this doesn't prove the possibility of my leadership qualities?

Nothing will.

You are about to witness a court statement that will be immediately, following this post (we wouldn't want to publish confidential court documents again, now would we??  The time stamp on this blog post will more than prove that it wasn't even a confidential court document YET...hehe.) efiled with the court, filed with all attorneys in the case (that matter), and in a nice little package that will be delivered unto the offices of Mr. Chuck Grassley, with the address to this blog, and a release of information signed by me and Liz, along with all recordings of every....single...interaction...with EVERYBODY in our little party.  This blog post, and this Statement to the Court, listed below, that I will be efiling just a few minutes from now; I believe, will signal, very nearly the END of this case...

Please, if you will, read it....at your liesure  :D

For I am...and will always be...The MIGHTY SWORD.

...and they shall know my name.

STATEMENT TO THE COURT CONCERNING THE DISPOSITION HEARING

COMES NOW, Elizabeth Bruce and Christopher Bruce, in their statement to the court:

Concerning the disposition hearing, held and ruled October 21, 2014:

1.  I would first like to state that the father, out of fear for his freedom, after posting confidential court documents online, did not attend for this reason.

2.  In reference to the 4th statement, made by this court, stating reasons that the child should remain in out of home placement:  I have given his Honor more than enough reason to ascertain that the reasons in this fact are either unneeded (the mental evaluations), service ordered to the parents due to falsified results (the drug assessment/drug abuse TRAINING), INCORRECT ALTOGETHER (homelessness, change of address was efiled and signed on October 17th, 2014), and lastly, also falsified in reports by CFI (the ability to adequately care for an infant).  If his Honor would order, this mother will, on demand, change a diaper for his honor (Basic Cares 101, #1), feed the baby on demand (Basic Cares 101, #2), and strap into a carseat to the best of her training per Ashley Andrews (Basic Cares 101 #3), which will probably not be very well, considering Ms. Andrews’ elimination of that training several visits ago, as well as the fact that we have yet to get a car for ourselves, a carseat to put into that vehicle, as well as a substitute baby with which to practice on.  Until his Honor should see for himself the completion of these “Basic Cares”, this should not be found as fact, but remains, as such, “hearsay” from a fallible human being, Ms. Andrews, as to whether these cares are learned or not.  Let’s not forget, your honor, that this same visit supervisor recently tried to file charges against me for harassment using UNFOUNDED EVIDENCE, and probably isn’t happy about that plan being foiled by me, using recordings of her interactions with my wife and myself.  Also, lest we forget, that everyone associated with this case, especially those of DHS and CFI, are constantly reading the blog in order to glean even more evidence against this family to use in these hearings...and I’m certain that Ms. Andrews has noticed the blog post that I directed exactly at her as well.  Naturally, if I were in her shoes, I would probably be a bit miffed, prone to a bit of vindictiveness, and since I was not able to hurt this father directly, might be prone to make sure this mother didn’t get any training, in order for her to fail, as well.  This was the case with the reporter of this action; when she couldn’t get at me directly, she went for the easier target, the mother, utilizing DHS to get back at me, through her, so this attitude with us in general doesn’t surprise me at all.

Oh, and by the way, as long as we’re on the subject, I’m sure his Honor, D.A. Stephanie Brown, Katie Gosch, Caseworker for DHS and Stephanie Rhinehart, her Supervisor, have all noticed by now, I’m celebrating my win in the upcoming Permanency Hearing.  Actually, I’m celebrating my victory PRIOR to that hearing (you all remember that word, don’t you?  PRIOR?  Meaning:  BEFORE?)  There’s very good reason for this.  You see, this blog?  The one you folks are so fond of quoting, where the removal of this child is concerned, where DHS’s actions against me, the father, lately, are concerned, as well as the DHS Advocate; Ms. Brown and her office are concerned, Attorney Dale Mays’s dis-bar-able actions along with his honor’s ordering of the 2nd financial affidavit, a mere 5 weeks after appointing us council at the state’s expense, and while we were still INDIGENT; so that the father’s ability to defend himself, are concerned?  I can prove this court completely biased, and will do so immediately in a separate action.  When I’m finished with each and everyone, in this court, you will all be removed from office and publicly shamed.  That blog, the one that was used for reasons of the removal, as well as continuously as evidence against me, (oh, and isn’t funny that we don’t do drugs, but immediately following my statement that I MAY come up dirty for methamphetamines through environmental exposure?  Suddenly, not only am I dirty for this drug, but my wife, who almost died because she took a hit of marijuana, is TWICE as dirty as I am for it, after her and the baby BOTH came up clean for anything just nine days prior to that, upon our child’s birth); in this action is about to be your total undoing.  It is, and always will be, my first Amendment right to publish my opinion in this editorial blog, and to use it as evidence against me and my family is beyond all legal and civil reproach.  What’s most important here, is that DHS has used this blog as a means to punish this father, indirectly; yet, put in its proper light, this directly interferes with this father’s right to free speech; through intimidation, threats of imprisonment and fear.  You may all be immune to state prosecution, but you will be brought up on Federal charges in this matter, each one of you, IMMEDIATELY.  Because you peruse this blog so carefully, and because I’ve been known to threaten all of you (non-physically, only with your respective jobs) in it, and the fact that I have personally ridiculed all of you many times, your actions in response have damned all of you; you have biased yourself thoroughly, and anyone that sees anything about this case, the facts found, as well as the way it’s been ruled on, will believe this beyond a shadow of a doubt.

And, for the record, this statement to the court is going to be filed, along with a release of information, to Senator Grassley’s office, with proof of it’s receipt to me.  With this statement will also be ALL recordings of ALL interactions we’ve had with EVERYONE in this court, INCLUDING recordings of ALL court hearings and their rulings, as well as any BILLED TO US court documents, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Dale Mays, Attorney at law, that he should request to see.  Sans the court documents, all I have promised to Senator Grassley’s office, will also be posted...Well, I don’t think I have to say where, now do I?

Oh, and in case you’re concerned that I might be breaking the law by doing so?  I will be making sure that each thing I post here has an earlier timestamp than when I efile it.  It’s not confidential, until I do so.  Besides, my efilings seem to be immune (as well as are things that make no difference to anyone, or that don’t help my defense at all, i.e., appearances, appointments, etc.), I can access THOSE confidential court documents...imagine that.  Just the ones that the prosecution files, and his honor’s facts (laid down in orders from these hearings)...imagine that too.

Your honor will be asked to recuse this case upon its proceeding.  If his Honor should AGAIN refuse to recuse, a writ of habeas corpus will be implemented, and your bias brought forth with little effort at all.  If you refuse to recuse the case, and rule against me in this hearing upcoming, your bias will be full and irrefutable, and will drag you down off of your bench, again with little effort.

You know, I was going to go further and refute the rest of these facts, but I think we all know how this is going to go, don’t we?  Let’s just stop here, and call it a day.

The Dating Game - Day 2 (Q.1)

How To Beat the DHS Railroad Job, Part III (C) - The Court Hearings (The Reasonable Person Theory, and Reasonable Efforts

http://www.angelfire.com/games2/warpspawn/Matrix.html

Hey, we're back....already????  Oh yeah, you know it...

So here, I would have to say that this is not only one of my favorite arguments; that I had with the director of the so-called "Paralegal Courses" I took at our local community college; this also ranks as probably my favorite thing in my case with DHS.  I am being facetious, no doubt...you know me SO well!!  But, as sarcastic as I may be currently...it will most certainly BE my favorite thing about this case...because it is with this subject, not alone, but in a slight majority of a few reasons I will be using TO WIN THIS CASE.

Let's begin with the "Reasonable Person Theory".  Now, according to my teacher, again, the director of my classes, whose teaching style drove me BONKERS...but whom I loved to intelligently "debate" against...mostly because her reasonings, as well as her answers to my questions; usually included some form of the ol' American idiom:  "That's just the way it is!"  I firmly despise anything that even looks like it means this, simply because NOTHING is "Just the way it is"....in no way, shape or form.  "That's just the way it is", and "It is what it is", as you well know, is SHEEP talk.

In our law, the "Reasonable Person" is a time-honored ditty that was founded oh....around 1837.  In our law, America's REAL law in my opinion...COMMON law, we call it; the "Reasonable Person" theory isn't a theory, but a standard...meaning, the phrase itself always means the same thing, and doesn't change, even though the circumstances of 10 similar cases might vary, for...various reasons.  It doesn't really refer to anyone in particular, it is a fictional person that is supposed to represent "Joe Average", if you will...but at the same time doesn't either (??)  "What would Joe do, if he were in this pickle?"  Get it?  Good, because you know how I really feel about our system of law anyway, and I really and TRULY despise this.

So, I'm talkin' to my law "teacher"...and she starts talking about the "reasonable person" standard again, and how it applies (a little differently too) in contract law.  Now I've heard her babble about this before, when she taught the ridiculously ludicrous subject of "Introduction to Law"...and I say ludicrous, because her style of teaching, mixed with the AWFUL text book she chose to use for the class, were both about as helpful as an umbrella is on a sunny day.  NOT helpful at all.  Just another pain in the arse, where carrying it around is concerned.  So, remembering the thoughts that had entered my mind and stuck there like glue the last time she talked about it, I brought up this:

Who exactly is it, that, during the course of any case, decides who the reasonable person is?  Her answer to that was "Nobody, because the reasonable person, as far as actual people are concerned, doesn't really exist."....and I said "Oh..."  Then, after a bit of uncomfortable silence, I just had to ask this:  "OK, so if the reasonable person doesn't really exist, than why are we having a debate about him/her then?"  She didn't really care for that one.

Needless to say, this stupid portion of the argument (legal debate, she would have said), went on for quite a while.  I don't know if you're familiar with analytical people, but we're the people you hated in school with a passion every time their hand went up...or, you may have been in love with this person too, because this is the kind of person who has to understand every logical nuance of something before he can move on...because, if you DO move on, then he'll never get that...as well as won't get anytihng else he learns subsequently, because his mind has to be able to get past that first thing he learned or he won't learn anything else until he understands it...so, if you're a studious learner, you hated this guy, because he'd hold you up at all times, sometimes even detrimentally to the expense of the whole class, depending on what sort of person your teacher is.  If they were really tolerant, you'd never get more than half-way through your books.  You'd be stuck at half-way, and the teacher would almost HAVE to pass you, because it wasn't in his power to shut this guy up.  Now, you might have loved him too, mainly because this same guy, when his hand went up, would go round and round with the instructor, trying to figure it all out, and, because it was loads of fun watching this person keep the professor hopping with question after question about the same damn thing, before you knew it, the class was OVER, and it was time to go home!!...or to break, or whatever.  And yeah, as to one of those analytical people?  I was one of 'em.  Hence, the hatred of "That's just the way it is!!"  "Them's SHEEP words, Clem!"; BOOM, POW, RIGHT IN THE KISSER!!"

So anyway, back to this....this....TEACHER...or whatever the Hell she was claiming to be that day...she goes and freaks out on me (after a while of this) when I come at her with this:

OK, so what you're trying to tell me is this, then...Let's say we get an immigrant from Turkey over here...we'll just call him Abdul, for intermediary identification purposes. Now, in Abdul's country, if you steal something, you get your hand cut off...unless you were determined to absolutely need that something...you know, like a loaf of bread to feed his family, whatever.  Now, here in the states, what happens here when you steal something (which is probably why theft is so big here in our country), we usually, depending on the amount of the item stolen, call it a "5th Degree Theft", or to call it by its common law name, "shoplifting"....usually with a standard value range of around 0-200 dollars in value, and only requires, upon your first offense, an overnight stay in the local county jail, and a fine that will probably equal around 4x the value of what you stole.  The reasonable person, then, as defined by our "common law", wouldn't steal at all...so you deserve to have the book thrown at you.  Nine times out of ten, however, this is pretty much kiss my ass behavior, and a lot of shop owners will, against all reasonableness, let that theft go without calling the police, especially if the item was $5 or less.  Now, get up around $100, and this is something we need to look at a 2nd time.  Now you're not NEARLY as reasonable...Anyway, to Abdul, this is TOTALLY unreasonable, and, where he comes from, the reasonable person, after Abdul stole his $4 loaf of bread to feed his family, would have said "Fly, be Free!!", and that would have been the end of it.  "My NEW reasonable person...who is actually not reasonable to me anymore, says I have to pay $16 for my loaf of bread, spend a night in jail for my first offense, and go ten years without a job that comes anywhere near a job that you'll be able to steal on....Turkey, HERE I COME...BACK!!"

So now, we get back to Abdul.  He steals something he REALLY DESPERATELY needs for his family...let's just say it's a lawn-mower, priced at $150.  Oh come on already, he did pick the cheapest one, didn't he??  Isn't that reasonable, at the very least?...anyway, so Abdul, kinda sorta new to this country, gets off with a fine and time served...I mean, it is his first offense, and he is from Turkey...

Here's where I had my problem with this theory though...let's just say Abdul, in his home country, is allowed to murder someone, if the argument gets to a screaming volume level, and screaming, at least by the person opposite your argument, is offensive.  So the non-screamer is now allowed to kill the offending screamer, and he can therefore get away with it, because screamers are generally idiots, and the law of Turkey smiles every time you knock off one of those guys.

Then let's say he's killed himself 2 or 3 screamers over in Turkey...he then goes to America on vacation.  He hears a scream coming from the woods..(Prey!!).  He runs after his screamer, and then kills him.  The police, of course, are close up behind.

Now, let's say we go with a judge's chief saying...."Ignorance of the law is NO EXCUSE!!"...."Yeah, but isn't it different when Abdul kills off someone, regardless of why?"  Damn Straight.  Because, you see, Abdul is now an American, and is about to meet someone for the first time.  The fictional "reasonable person".  The only problem now, is this:  See, Abdul's reasonable person, the person he knew in Turkey, the one that used to hate screamers, has changed nationalities.  Now, Abdul's reasonable person's name is Archie.  Archie says Abdul must DIE!!

Here's the other problem I have with that theory.  Abdul DOESN'T kill anyone here, but kills himself a screamer in his own land...only now, the reasonable person isn't named Abdul anymore, his name is Achmed, and Achmed only kills mockingbirds...and to kill anything else, means Abdul must DIE!

Even more reason to hate it is the thing that drives me the craziest, and that I just can 't wrap my mind around.  Who IS the reasonable person, who decides what that reasonable person does, says, hears, thinks, etc.  I mean, the CONCEPT of the person never changes...only the circumstances as they apply to each thing...but if the reasonable person doesn't think spinach and liver is legal, and Frank absolutely loves the stuff, well....whaddya do then?? The whole basis of that theory is, quite simply, this..."what would the reasonable person do under the same circumstances?", right?  But if the reasonable person would jump off a bridge in those circumstances, do we have to do the same thing in order to not end up in jail???  I just don't understand it.

What I'm saying, I suppose, is that the reasonable person, protected from all harm from us simply by being fictional (however, NOT so fictional, if you're the one that's guilty/going to jail...not so fictional now, EH CHRISTOPHER???)...is not ever going to be you.  You know who the reasonable person is, though no one will say it.  The fact-trier...the guy who is currently in charge of your destiny...and if he's on the take?  Or biased?  You're SCREWED...yes, the new "reasonable person" in YOUR life...is the JUDGE!!....oh, happy day.  THIS is the person who truly decides who that reasonable person is, and then decides if you measure up to that figment, and what'll happen to you if you come up short.  You can almost look at it this way...what would the reasonable crowd do to this newly-found reasonable criminal??  (somehow, I can hear the queen saying OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!)

Now, let's get back to the very thing that's driving YOU the craziest...what the Hell does all this have to do with DHS???

There's where we're at.  I KNEW I'd find myself...

Sooo...we're gonna jump right over that bridge, and plant ourselves on the other side, over on the "Reasonable Efforts" side of things. (arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!....you see now why I think the law needs a serious revamp?  Should have been pretty obvious by NOW!), and the reason that we're bypassing the reasonable person (for now) and the reason I hate the theory ULTIMATELY will be very obvious in a few minutes after that.  REALLY, I PROMISE!!

So, you've been through the Removal Hearing...Part one of our court hearings, remember?  The one you probably don't remember because they had it 7-10 business days after your child was stolen, and you hadn't even processed that fact as yet?  Well, if you WEREN'T still reeling from the punches, would have felt a "PING", and you would have slowly started to realize a feeling... that your life....the way it used to be, anyway...was now no longer your own, and things started to get dark, and gnarly....you don't know why really, but everything is just so....CRAPPY!!  You...you feel just like you felt, right after you got married, and your husband's mother needed to come and stay with you for a few weeks while her house was being painted....AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

And it hits you.  Your life, as it was, is now no longer your own, for REAL.  Now?  You belong to DHS, and there's nothing you can do about it.  Now, you live, breath, s***, eat, have sex with....you get the picture.  These people have now moved into your home, and aren't planning to leave for 6 whole months...until the permanency hearing.  And the first thing they want from you, is PAPERWORK....and tons of it.  "Sign here, initial there, fill this out completely, turn this in before your next hearing, file this, here's a copy of that...and this one is that..."...and you wonder how you ever lived without all this before...

As I mentioned back in part (A) of this part, this is to keep you trippin' until the hearing for removal, and when it comes, that hard hitting D.A., whose sole purpose it is to make you look horrible?  She's on it like flies on **** already, and has already accused you of not seeing some paper you supposedly didn't remember, didn't remember reading, signing...ANYTHING...but supposedly? "It was the most IMPORTANT PAPER IN YOUR LIFE....AND YOU DON'T REMEMBER SEEING IT OR SIGNING IT???  HUH?  what's WRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOONG WITH YOUUUUUUUUU?????"

And now you know....such is the game at its inception, and at its most cunning.  You really MUST remember, these folks have been doing this FOREVER...and you're a removal virgin.  And, from here, to expert is...well, it's Hell, back, beyond and sideways, because you are now dealing with the "take your children specialists!!..."  And that's why you're headed for TPA...and for no other reason...unless you're either a really good hoop-jumper or a breed of sheep they like.  Then there MIGHT be hope, a chance you might see your babies' little smiles again...hold them to you like they're actually yours again...someday...maybe...

Next, and the star of our show, is the in between stuff...family team meetings, visitations with F.S.R.P...or whoever your state's version of the outfit that handles your children's visitations, is.  Ours, as you know, is Children and Families of Iowa, and your Visit Slinger is an F.S.R.P. worker...and another snake in the grass that you CANNOT and SHOULD NOT EVER TRUST!!  Now where was I...oh yeah, FTM's, Visits, Confirmation of those visits, free transportation assistance for 3 months (or 3 months worth of bus passes), your drug assessment (if drugs were alleged), your mental evaluation (if they think you're mental...which, from what I understand, they always do, whether you believe you are...or whether you ACTUALLY are or not), oh, and what did I just get in the mail honey?......SCREECH!!!!!!  "oh...the removal social worker's assessment my lawyer finally got in the mail, that I haven't seen anything of yet...wonderful...oh, and something else too?  What's that?  Did you say the Asian Petition?  What?  The China Petition?...OH....the CINA PETITION...oh yeah.."

And here it is, the Adjudication Hearing is now upon you...and you get through that, and you hear this strange foreign-sounding phrase...You've heard the words before, just not the two together...in that way, they sound very familiar too..."Reasonable efforts..."...."reasonable efforts, reasonable efforts...REASONABLE PERSON....ARRRRRGGGGGGHHH!!!...Yes, it is has been found, whether you were aware of it or not, that reasonable efforts (remember, I said you'd come to hate this one?) were offered to you in order to help you "reunify your family".....what?  Really?  I'm sorry...could you repeat/explain that, because all I've seen is chaos and confusion...thanks!!

Now, here's the fun stuff you are gonna strangle someone over...all those hoops you've been hoppin' through?  The mental Eval, the drug assessments (which, by now, have turned into drug TREATMENT, more than likely...ok, DEFINITELY THEN...), the family team meetings?  These are now called "reasonable efforts, made, to you, and for you...from us, the loving folks of court central and DHS, to help you in your quest to reunify your family...just like OUR quest for you!!"......BULLS***!!!  Do NOT fall for this crap y'all!!

This is the beginning of a very sick and twisted friendship between you and the courts, as well as DHS, because now, you have become the victim of the system...just like your baby...except your baby is probably having a good time and an awful lot of fun with his/her new parents...something you won't be having again until this is over...if it's EVER over...and hopefully will once again include your child...whose life, that you're SUPPOSED to be enjoying life with, is enjoying that life with people he/she doesn't know very well...YET...If she's a newborn?  Plan on missing all of those experiences every mother looks forward to...her first steps, her first smile, her first laugh...THEY'RE NOW SOMEONE ELSES WONDERFUL FIRSTS...and you just missed EVERYTHING.  Oh...oh thank you, DHS, for saving my life, by showing me the evil of my ways, and giving me oh so many "reasonable efforts" in which to make us whole again..."

You see, America, if you've been a bad girl or boy, these probably are reasonable to you...they should be things you should be doing...if you really and truly love your children...but to those of you who have done NOTHING wrong?  Who just...are?  Are, yet accused of things you would never even consider, but because they are DHS, and you aren't?  Well, you're guilty of all they accuse you of, and you're just WRONG.  How REASONABLE is that??

Worse yet?  If you're right (WRONG), and you're mad about them telling you you're wrong?  You just...can't...do that.  You can't fight city hall.  You have to do what they say, and just get them out of your life..you MUST jump through THE HOOPS!!!...IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN, DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO AND GET IT OVER!!

This is the lie they feed you...and I don't just mean DHS...I mean EVERYBODY...your friends...your relatives...your attorneys...EVERYBODY...because all those people that aren't DHS/court related, they're on your side...but they're sheep, more than likely...trained...brain-washed.  I suppose, if you wanna go along with all of that, that's you.  I will tell you this though, one...more...time.  You MAY/MIGHT get your kids back if you play ball, guilty...or innocent.

Here's the thing though...this madness?  Reasonable people and reasonable efforts made?  THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!!  This isn't the way to fix you and your child's problems...this most CERTAINLY isn't the way we used to fix our OWN problems...No, this is, quite simply, a governmental intervention, meant to eventually brainwash you into sheep-typical behavior, to slap you in the face in order to remind you that you WILL OBEY, or...you won't get your kids...or our reasonable efforts...you'll....just...be...terminated.  And yet, what you really DON'T realize as yet, is that they WANT you to terminate...because, they have other sheep...other good sheep that obey...and THEY'LL get your children, if you don't act right...they can afford them...YOU CAN'T...they can take care of them...YOU CAN'T...understand??  IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT FOR ETERNITY AMERICA????

I guess what I'm saying is this...I have dubbed myself your champion.  I plan to take the dragon down...just about any way I have to.  Once again, I do this...not just for me, but for you as well, and for YOUR children.  Remember, it never hits home how bad things truly are with this sort of thing...unless it happens to you...and there is nothing more destructive to your psyche, or your soul...then when you cry wolf..and all of a sudden, if you don't conform, like your side is telling you to?  It's funny how short the conversations about your problem get...how, as you start talking about how they're doing you TODAY all of a sudden?  Your mother has to run to the store for sommore prune juice...your dad has to sweep the garage...your best friend has to go pick up HER children from the playground.

If you're a fighter in this, it's a damn lonely fight at times...but please, if you will?  Stick with me.  'Cause what I'm doing RIGHT NOW is fighting for us ALL.  Whether you think so or not, depends on how you feel AFTER you're released from your Matrix bed, and you are, once again, part of America.  The America I intend to get back for you.  See you for part IV, the endgame, coming soon...:D

Beating the DHS Railroad Job Part III (B) - The Court Hearings (The Reasonable Person Theory and Reasonable Efforts)

Hey guys!!  Sorry.  You know I have things to be.  People to do.  Bizzay, Bizzay Boy.  My apologies.

So where were we again??  Oh yeah.  The dispositional hearing.

Like I said, you have this one at around 3 months in.  Now, you might notice some things to be somewhat...different.  First, the hammer D.A., the one DHS needed to make sure things went their way?  They step down, and someone either a lot nicer or more easy going (less experienced) comes in.  A new player.  Why?  Well, because "the Hammer" has already done her job.  Thanks to her, there's no way you're gonna get out of the water you're currently drowning in (she thinks..).  You're a horrible parent and person, and all charges have, like I said, been written on your criminal nametag as a description of what you've done and the evil parent you really are.  She's done HER job, and DHS is pleased that all is going according to their plan...eventually terminating your parental rights.  Now, you might be lucky.  Could be that they've got their quota, and you could be the one who gets her kids back...but then you might not.  Maybe DHS needs babies for their adoption drive this year...or maybe they need more money from the federal government...who really knows the mind of our state department of gods/godesses, right?

Now, the dispositional hearing's purpose is to "find out how you and DHS are getting along...", and to find out if you're acting like a good little sheep and playin' nice.  If you're not?  If you are?  Please don't forget, this all depends on several things:  If DHS likes you, if your worker likes you, and if the Judge likes you...but if they've got a h****n for your kid(s)?  They'll rule against you yet again.  This will be more than likely.

So, after yet another disappointing loss?  You then head towards the baddie of the bunch, just one little step away from the Termination of your Parental Rights, which, since I haven't gotten there yet, I'm guessing comes almost immediately after this...the Permanency Hearing.  This hearing, I'm guessing (but I think I have more than enough proof that it most certainly is about this) is that this is where the Judge decides where the kid should be....PERMANENTLY.  With you, or with foster care/up for evenuual ADOPTION.  If it's a newborn, she'll probably be offered, first to the parents currently in force as taking care of her, and if they want her, they'll get her.  If they decide they've got more than they deserve already, and if you have relatives that aren't all as wicked as you, they may offer the child to them.  But I think that sometimes, they just go right to adoption...at least, in my case she will.  Yeah, I believe they have been coming up a little short at the Adoption Drive of late, and need a few more prizes for interested people to win for themselves.

This hearing will...no, MUST occur, by law, at 6 exact months.  Some Yahoo in congress, more than likely at the state level, passed a law stating that 6 months is more than enough time for people to decide what's more important, winning their case by whatever method they BELIEVE no one has tried yet, in an effort to get their children back some other way than playing this game; or your kids.  If you go for option one, you're more than likely gonna lose...from start to end.  It's already been decided.  Why?  Because they pick and choose their children...as well as their losers.  These people have been doing this forever, remember?  They know, a mile off, who the kids they want are, and which parents are guaranteed losers.  Here's the deal with that though...some of these idiots think YOU'RE an idiot.  As a matter of fact, most of  go out of their way just to prove you are, just so they can assess you ahead of time to see what they're up against, I'm guessing.

That makes perfect sense to me...they ordered a mental health eval on me almost immediately.  The funny thing though?  They said they don't need mine.  You wanna know what's even funnier though?  Every bit of my "Long standing mental issues"; as the courts and DHS are trying to prove me as having?  They don't exist.  First, for the longevity part of my "Issues", they fell onto the fact that I was in a mental institution when I was eight, for 8 months.  There wasn't anything wrong with me.  I was one of the first gens of kids to experience the beginning epidemic of ADD/ADHD.  Om, I was a button pusher, of that there was no doubt, AT ALL.
also recee
As to your methods?...it's BEEN tried, and it's BEEN done...maybe not PRECISELY like you're doing, and maybe not with the same kind of players...but damn close, I guarantee it.  Unless you have something so unique...like I do, and some more...I'll just say "Unusual quirks" and special interest/circumstances"?  You're headed right to TPA, believe it.  So.  This is what it's going to come down to.  You're gonna lose your children, or you're gonna play by sheep rules and MAYBE get them back.  And because you only have one shot at this, and only 6 months to do it in...being totally ignorant (until now anyway) of how this all works, and your attorneys are actually on the side of the state, and the judge is against you before he even hears a single word out of your mouth?  It'll all be over before you even know what happened.  You lucky person you, you're gonna choose which road to travel.  I'm going to repeat this though.  To keep these people honest, and MAYBE win, if you're lucky enough to have things not so kosher happen during the course of all of this, RECORD EVERYTHING...texts sent and received, all interactions...and if you know what you're doing, you might even be able to get your court hearings recorded too.  Either that, or you will have to pay for the DVD of your little hearing...for around 300 dollars...any way you have to do it, make sure and record all.  This is the ONLY chance you have, and your chances of winning just on any one injustice alone, done to you, could be the way you can win those children back, goes way up, trust me.

There will be one more installment of this part of the series, Part III (C), concerning the Reasonable Person Theory and Reasonable Efforts...and one more whole part IV...and it will be coming soon enough.  After I win, of course...also coming soon enough.

The American Pie (The Destruction of the Lower Crust)

http://saramakessoup.com/2013/05/07/spicy-mushroom-chicken-potpie/img_4013-chicken-pot-pie/

So.  You're a wealthy capitalist...is that correct?  Thanks to the latest tech surge, you could be very well pulling in a few cool million a year.  You drive the best of automobiles, your house is filled with all you ever wanted or needed (along with an awful lot of what you don't), and what you wear becomes who you have always strived to be.  Life is good.

So.  You're the best the middle class has to offer.  Sure, you have some sizable bills to pay, but you're comfortable, your family is fed, clothed and has the perfect roof over your head.  You can honestly say you've worked hard to get where you are.  Your marriage is a happy one, your kids are a joy, and the neighborhood is to your liking.  What more could a guy ask for?

You, my fellow Americans, represent the upper crust, as well as the delicious pie filling.  We Americans, here as your bottom crust; here to hold the pie together, to make our great nation complete; are more than happy to have you aboard.  We salute you, and all you have done for us.

There's only one little itsy bitsy problem...

See, we here at the bottom are a bit unhappy with you of late.  As you upper crust folks enjoy all your easily obtained comforts, your feet are sorta on our necks down here.  You of the pie filling, well, you're so incredibly busy with your so-so lives, that you don't really see (or care to see) the problems that plague your lower brothers on a daily basis.  Our problem?  We're dying...and it's because of the rest of you that this is so.

And this concerns you how?  Why should you care, you ask?  I'd say closing your eyes to our plight, and plugging your ears to our cries of "foul" may just be your undoing, if you don't notice.  In your reach to the higher rungs of the American ladder in order to obtain the ring - whatever metal it might be made of these days; as you look up with your self-help attitudes and your ambition in achieving the American Dream, you're overlooking only one important fact.

Someday has to clean up the s***.

Someone has to dig the ditches in which to put the foundation that will someday support that house with the white picket fence attached to it.  Someone has to build the skyscrapers that sport your business's name on the door.  Someone has to unplug the toilet, construct your cities and clean up the mess.  The worker ants.  The lower class.  Those of us, here, at the bottom.  And we are dying...and you see it not.

Oh, you know our plight...yet you plug along, attending your little business meetings and social hours.  They say the middle class is disappearing...and that may be so.  But your foundation, the crust that holds the pie together?  We'll go first, of that you can be sure.  That one, you're more than happy to see go.  "Good Riddance to bad rubbish, I say."

But who then takes the reigns?  Who unplugs our toilets and cleans the sewers then?  The rest of you would be stuck with that...if any of you would be able to stand getting your manicured nails dirty, that is.

Remember...waaaaaaaay back...prior to all that DHS nonsense...when I talked of legalized prostitution and drugs?  I said something back then, that I'm sure the majority of you missed.  It's not the drugs...those (the natural plants that went to produce them are the ones I mean) have been around for thousands of years.  It's our attitudes towards these drugs, and the people who misuse them that are the problem, and the real reason we have manufactured and prescribed drugs, drugs we never needed before the 20th century.  And, more importantly, what really gets me is?  That some of our largest drug addicts are those of you in the upper two eschelons.  You just have more cash and connections to get away with it, without a ton of jail time.

Well, that...and jails and prisons, lawmakers, the justice system, laws, and, more importantly, your attitudes that create the problems some of us at the end of your lowered vision and snubbed noses have today.  And, as you look down and call the police in order to rid yourselves of the souls that crawl up your doorsteps begging for change, you forget to notice that you're the ones that continue to put them there.

I don't need facts, really.  No charts are truly necessary here.  You don't have to be a genius to see it.  And I'll also say it's not all your fault.  No, there's many more to blame, including the tyrannous government that threatens to destroy all we've worked to achieve.  Let's just re-plug in a few little lights in your heads...the ones that have been burnt out for a few decades or so.

Thievery.  Didn't USED to be a problem...now it's an epidemic.  I remember the good old days...when you bought something, and the next day decided you didn't want it afterall...and you didn't have to worry about looking around the house for 6 hours trying to figure out if you still have a receipt...you took it back, and you got cash back that day, with no questions asked.  Today?  You can't take ANYTHING back without a receipt...nope, you're stuck with it.  Even if you have a receipt, there are actually, honest to God, people that won't even refund your money then either.  Wow.

Gambling.  Reserved for Las Vegas only, back in the day, along with a few old fashioned bookie joints, you were all good...Now it's getting to where there's a casino, generally in the vicinity of your back yard.

Pawn shops open about every half a mile.  Used everything shops are everywhere.  Nobody would pay retail costs if they haven't a choice, or if you're considering a bed or a couch (thanks to the resurgence of the nasty li'l bedbug thingies).

Here's the thing I love the most though, buy it for brand new, still in the box, for 1,000 buckaroos?  It's almost guaranteed, that if it isn't a major purchase, resembling electronics, cars, etc.  You can bet yer sweet bippy that no one on this planet will buy it for more than half price.

Druggies.  Only a problem as long as the attitude towards them and the people who use them have been.  Prostitution...same story.  You get the picture.

Where's all this trouble coming from?  Why is the markup on everything so terrible;  why are insurance bills and medical bill so high?  Why are your banking interests at almost NOTHING for savings, and the charges so sky high?  Why are more people homeless now than ever before, and what, you might wonder, are we so upset about?  I mean, obviously we are.  If you clean bathrooms at a local K-Mart, you might get EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

We used to be more respectful of the upper two thirds of America.  We used to never complain.  If we had problems, we pretty much kept it to ourselves and dealt with things the same way.  But see, corporate greed, pay divergence, and a host of other things have upset the balance of things.  It used to be that we did our job, you did your job, he or she did their jobs, and no one got hurt; now it's not only dog eat dog...it's dog eat dog while stompin' the crap outta some cat and drowning the mice, all at the same time.  You're destroying the balance of things, and your reaction...to OUR reaction goes like this:  You either a.  put them in jail, or b.  call the police to remove the nuisance from your sight.

I'm not sure where this new strategy of our middle and upper classes came from, but all scopes are aimed at the lower class.  They take the blame, do the time, accept the punishment...until enough is about enough, and then you wonder why it is that retaliation is rampant.  If you don't provide what the lowest class needs to survive, you get all this class knows, when it comes to its revenge on its oppressors.  Yup, you guessed it.  Crime.  Crime against YOU, their tormentors.  Then comes scheming and looting and stealing and lying, suing etc.  When company A fires your whole family at the local plant, its survival instinct is now CONTINUE LIVING...BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.  If that means inhabiting the freeway bridge to ask for change, then so what?  Better than DEATH, isn't it?  If no one will help me pay for my medications under the new administration's health plan?  Then I can always swipe 'em.  Or, better yet, slip on a spot of water on the way out the door without my meds...Ill bet a friendly game of who's got the money will wisen you @#$%^! up.

Now, don't get me wrong...not everyone turns to crime.  I'd have to say there's an equal chance of crime in every class.  No, some of us are good people...as a matter of fact, I'd have to even go as far as to say that MOST of us are not only good people, but REALLY good people...more so than any good the other two classes claim.  For one, we take care of OUR poor, For two, us really good people, we don't retaliate illegally...we pick fights and win wars instead.  These are the folks you need to be watching out for, not the lawbreakers.  Because people like us have been known to, if handled correctly, get laws altered or changed, have been known to change people's way of thinking...and this would be done, unlike the other two's methods, which are aimed at ...nobody but themselves and their own.  The middle class's vision is one direction...forward, with blinders on.  The upper class's vision is also one direction...up, with blinders on.  The poorer class has this vision as well..although ours involves fighting the rest of what you upper classes have brought on us through whatever blinders you had on the day you voted...or passes a law that helped YOU out...but cost hundreds of people their jobs.  Hay, as long as it doesn't affect you, just those ants down on the ground, everything's gonna be ok...isn't it?

No, because when the lower class dies off...mainly because they can't afford to live on what they make these days, and because services are eliminated daily?  Because you eliminate the problems by throwing them in jail and utilizing the police force for stupid things like having those bums moved on away from your small business...because you'd rather imprison the problem then offer it help, you damn the lower class to its inevitable fate...extinction.  The problem is, now someone among the next class up is now going to have to do their work, as well as take on work left slack by the disappearance of the nuisance you considered this class to be before, when the whole reason for them becoming a nuisance was something that YOU did...directly or indirectly.  How?

1.  Voting (for all the wrong people, due to your naivete or the proper use of brain-washing.  Either way, it's not what you want on your resumes.  There's nothing worse than voting for the worst guy possible, then kicking yourself in the RAR for the next 2-4 years.
2.  Suing Corporate America (as well as personally suing those who couldn't possibly be expected to pay).
3.  Cracking down on crime (by lengthening sentences, asking for higher penalties, when all we more than likely need is a revamp of the justice system, or a little compassion in ourselves, with an offer of HELP to solve problems at the ready...all topped with a little TOLERANCE for appeal.  There's a novel idea, huh?

I mean come on America.  What we have done...what we ARE doing, along with what we further plan to do?  Ain't working, today, or evermore.  And unless you like maximum security prisons in your back yards, along with the perennial flowers you planted last year (believe me, the colors don't match up), forever holding the threat of PRISON BREAK over you and all you are and hold dear for the rest of your suburban days...well...you get the high-resolution picture.  We tried...and failed.  Time for some new strategies that don't line the pockets of someone in order to get it passed, but instead..dare I say it...SOLVE REAL PROBLEMS FOR A CHANGE, without getting kickbacks to the county sheriff and his boys if he backs you.  The time of the dishonest politician and his equally dishonest deals are OVER.  I will run for the office of SOMETHING that involves ACTUAL CHANGES, and soon.  If not the biggest one, well, I'll just take whatever America hands me.  And, after I get through, I'll have a minimum of the bottom third of our country behind me.  We're tired of holding you up...and we're tired of doing all the work.  One day, we'll be so tired, we'll just fade away.  That'll be the day the yuppies will have to go out and buy knee-high wading boots, because if they keep looking away and calling the police because they don't care for the stench we carry?  They'll be picking up the shovels next time.  And believe me when I tell you your upper brethren, the ones with the dollar signs in their eyes and their attention tuned to MO MONEY MO MONEY?  You think they're going to waste any effort to get you out the mess you inherited?  Hell no.  Then YOU'll have to fight the battles...even though you've never been trained to use a sword.  It ain't gonna be pretty.

Asta.  :D

Beating the DHS Railroad Job, Part III (A) - The Court Hearings (The Reasonable Person Theory & Reasonable Efforts)

http://www.motivationalmemo.com/3-ways-to-judge-your-own-life/

Woo Hoo!!!  Internet at home....my favorite...and guess what? it's FREE!!  YEEEEEEHAW!!  And, thanks to my new job, and a 40% discount at the closing K-Mart I work at, I now have (drumroll, if you please), a new HP printer scanner...just upon receiving...dare I say it?  Nawwwww...

Anyway, I promised the world "Beating the DHS Railroad Job, Part III - The Court Hearings (The Reasonable Person Theory & Reasonable Efforts); and so it shall be.  This is gonna be a longy folks, so I'm gonna pull my eld trick of "Publish as we go", so DHS can get this in small chunks...you know, so it's easier for them to understand.  By the time we're done, I'll be then preparing for my first bit o' fun, that I promised I was gonna have this month.  NOTE FOR DHS:  I realize you're not the smartest tools on the shelf, so I'm gonna give you a little hint:  Thursday, 10:00 a.m., Polk County River Place; oh, and by the way?  I was told I could bring anybody I want....so if anyone wants to come along, you're more than welcome to come too.  I'd hate for this to be missed (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more).

So....you wanna beat the big bad DHS do you?  Well, here’s whatcha do...

If they hear, see, make up, imagine, guess, define for themselves...with their non-existant degrees (imaginary add-ons to whatever social worker degree they actually DO have...) you get the idea...ANYTHING that can be twisted into abuse, well, then it’s all gonna be about that.  Neglect?  Same thing.  Drugs?  Oh...OH....ohhhhh...now there’s the fun one.  In case you don’t remember reading “The B&S Railroad Job Part II, The Drug Thingymabob”, you really need to read it.  Here’s one thing I didn’t realize at the time though...if you ever try and shirk the drug test (and I do mean, just within HOURS EVEN), after they've so nicely asked you to do one (should drugs be involved in the report), they’ll find a way to make you do it, because, if you don’t attend the drug test, even within the wee hours of the morning they already expect you to go?  Then you’re an automatic GUILTY.  And, what’s more, if they throw you into a removal hearing, usually within a couple of days?  Then you’re guilty again, mainly because you chose not to do a drug test within their window, which is, I’m guessing, within 12 hours.  It’ll be the first thing they harp on, when you get on the stand, right after your name and your oath.  “WHY DIDN’T YOU CHOOSE TO DO YOUR DRUG TEST?  Why weren’t you sitting right by the door chompin’ at the bit to get in?  What, in, the, world, is, WRONG, WITH, YOU???  HUHHHHH??”

Here’s the mistake I made.  See, I write...everything...so that you can see what’s going on.  And, I said the magic words...Some of my friends do drugs...and I don’t judge them for that.  I very well may have breezed through a room where they just smoked some pot (not bad enough...c’mon Chris, COME ON...), or I may have touch a doorknob with some meth residue, where they just put up a bowl....(THERE WE GO!!  We GOT something NOW!!).  So, when you finally arrive at the place they’ve oh so nicely chosen for you?  You WILL be dirty.  More than likely, for the thing you thought you might be dirty for.  Not pot, no, that’s not really bad enough.  Now, admittedly, I could have come up dirty for SOMETHING, just like I’d said.  But there is no way, on God’s green earth, that the wife came up 2x as dirty for a drug she’s never done, nor has she even POSSIBLY been around...IMPOSSIBLE.  Nice try, you ain’t getting your stupid drug assessment; out of me, OR out of her.  Ever.  The woman does NOT DO DRUGS, AND NEVER WILL IN HER LIFETIME.  Me?  I don’t matter, my rights were terminated since the first day I said BOO.  Call my wife a possible, probable or definate drug user or dealer one more time, and I don’t care how many feet are between me and you, or how many desks I’ve gotta leap over?  I’m coming over ‘em.

Now, that we got all that settled...

Here’s their plan.  They might want your kids for medical research, like they were shown to be taken for, in hospitals, over in Boston, or, that was found out AFTER the article was posted (as people came forward), in other states as well...who can say?  Or, they might just need a newborn, who’ll be just cute enough to be the poster child for, say...AN ADOPTION DRIVE, THAT THEY HAVE HERE AT THE POLK COUNTY COURTHOUSE EVERY YEAR, AROUND THIS TIME, AS A MATTER OF FACT, SOMEWHERE AROUND MORNING TIME, OH, SAY AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THIS MONTH, EVEN?  Gee, I wonder how they’re able to keep their shelves stocked for this annual event?  Hmmmmmm.  I wonder...OH YEAH, there’s always newly born babies, born to black mothers in our buddy hospital, METHODIST/UNITY POINT, who can’t really afford to live at the moment, and who might be a little more naive about DHS and the law of the land than the rest of the world, and who might be docile and easy to convince that trouble will happen if they don’t give their baby up for adoption or foster care.  If we don’t pick on someone that’s too wealthy, who could afford their own attorneys....SOUND FAMILIAR????  Yeah.  That’s the ticket.

So where was I....oh yeah, the court hearings.  We’ll cover those, as well as a little something we like to call “reasonable efforts”...and we’ll also be discussing the “Reasonable Person” theory.  This is most definately my favorite part of all of this.  You already know how I’m feeling about now, as far as the court system, the justice system, the Judicial Branch of our Government, as well as “The Law, Itself!!” (Make sure you check out that series, it’s a real beaut).

Now, keep in mind, that these people that you’re now in the process of dealing with?  They are immune to prosecution.  Oh, they can prosecute YOU, make no mistake.  And, remember too, they’ve been doing this a LOOOOOOOOONG time, and they’re getting pretty damn good at it, too.  Count on all of this, feeling like they’ve had a lot of practice, that they know what they’re doing, and that they know you long before you think they do...which, of course they do.

So here’s the workover, in livid detail.  ENJOY!!

1.  The child is taken from you.  They’ll use anything and everything, perjur themselves on the stand, twist your words, use everything they can to do whatever they can...these people will drag others out of the wall you didn’t know even had their eye on you, if they actually ever did.  I’ll warn you that people you may not even think you did wrong to, may just be the ones trying to get your kids taken from you.  The nice part, these days, is all it takes is a damned good liar, a couple of phone calls, and ANYBODY can draw these folks down on you, for no reason and with no proof whatsoever.

Now, here’s the most specialist thing of all...they’ll have bullets flying at you from places you would NEVER think would do this to you...hospital staff...police, friends, your family, your local grocer...this is NOT A JOKE, These peole don’t stop at anything to prove they had reasons to take your baby, and anybody could easily be their friends...or your enemies, so, once the call is made?  That neighbor you pissed on once by not lending him your barbecue?  He's as good a candidate as anyone.

I only have one recommendation for people here.  PULL OUT YOUR PHONE CAMERAS/VOICE RECORDERS.  This, of course, is where you want to start recording EVERYTHING.  From the minute you have your interview, until the time you lose your children for good.  And, believe me, this is the ONLY thing DHS has in mind....I don't care HOW many times they say the words "Re-unify the family", out of the other side of their mouths, often at the exact same moment, as well as in the same sentence, the words "Termination of your parental rights" always seems to be close by.  If not as actual words, most assuredly in all of their actions to follow this period.

2.  In one day from the removal, comes something called The "Post-Removal Conference".  You're mad, you're confused, you have no idea what just happened, and now, you're in some meeting room, a day or two later, at DHS (at Polk County River Place), where the CPS unit of this humane department is located), and you have no desire to be around others at this time.  I imagine, since you have three separate lawyers assigned to all of you now (if you have more than 1 child, there will be one for you, one for your wife, and one for the child(ren)), that these people will be here as well.

Let's talk about this for a minute.  OK, I can maybe see how they arrive at 2...one for you, and one for...wait, one for a NEWBORN?  OK, maybe not for her...but for your more grown up kids, I can see.  One for your wife though?  WHY?  Why is it we feel the need for two attorneys, one for each parent???  The point of this will be forever increasingly clear as we go along kiddies.  THEY will say (and I think this is the first glimpse into what the court and DHS's eventual plan really is) that it's because you and the wife, somewhere down the road may have "divergent interests".  What this says to me?  That, because of your personal feelings about this, and the trouble it is getting your kid(s) back, plus what DHS has planned to "Reunify" your family, may just be felt differently by each parent down the road...and when that happens, DHS and the courts will then pull a little trick out of their hats, called DESTROYING YOUR FAMILY...where they capitalize on these "divergent" feelings, and tear apart your family even further.  I'll explain this later.  Oh but wait...right now, we are hardly divergent.  WE BOTH WANT OUR CHILD(REN) BACK!! So, again, why the need for two attorneys?  Again, this will be become very apparent as I go.  I say "OK, maybe you'll be right...further down the road.  We have the SAME interest NOW, so how about I have one attorney for both of us NOW, and, if we diverge down the road, we can get an extra attorney"....but now, they already know that your interests are going to change down the road evidently, because you HAVE NO CHOICE!!  Nope, I'm afraid your only option is that the more legally adept parent gets rid of theirs and goes Pro Se.  That, by the way, ticks the Judge off, because he can't control your behavior.  Just Sayin.

Ok, so far we have you and the attorneys, so that's a total of *counts on his fingers*...6.  If you have A child.  Oh but wait, more people are coming in...

We now have the child (who's already been counted), and the foster parents who just arrived, holding this baby who was more than likely wrongly taken from you.  Now you start getting upset for real...and that's 8 now.

Oh wait!!  We're getting more company!

A strange woman comes in (more than likely a woman...funny how most of CPS, DHS, FSRP, and VNS seems to be women, isn't it?), accompanied by a few more women.  They sit.  We should be at around...*pulls off his socks in order to up the ante*...around 11 or 12.

Then, another couple of women come in...now we're at 14 or so (or more), and then 1 more, who moves to the front of the room by a large white board...and all of a sudden, it hits you.  All of these people, now in attendance, that aren't YOU?  Are getting paid.  DHS gets paid by the federal government so much (really big) dollarinies for each...and every child they put in the system.  The attorneys are paid by the state for their services if you're indigent (poor), and by you if you have it going on.  The foster parents of course, are paid by both the state...as well as the federal government, and these other people?  More than likely are too...and are, of course.  Let's get some intros here, shall we?

We know who the parents and the attorneys are, and you will be slowly introduced to each and every person here, as well as their paid role in this case...but who then are these new faces, so friendly, so genteel?  One, not the one who had your child removed, is now your NEW DHS caseworker.  Honestly, her role is to be your queen/slavedriver.  Bow down, and you may be rewarded.  Stand against her?  And she will be your worst nightmare, believe it.  I say, stand now.  Make it interesting.  The one sitting with her, is more than likely her supervisor.  She will be the Captain in the ranks of your new American Gestapo dealings.  There should be 2 or 3 more ladies present.  1 or 2 of these is probably your FSRP worker, a woman responsible for overseeing the intense visiting schedule they intend to lay on you in a few minutes.  This woman is your "visit supervisor", and should never EVER be trusted.  She is yet another informant for the prosecution in your future court hearings, believe it.  Again, record EVERYTHING this woman does as well.  It will serve you well when things get tougher.

Another woman, sitting, more than likely, a lot closer to you will introduce herself as a "Parent Partner".  This woman will be presented as someone who has been through the same thing you are about to go through, and will offer to be your new bestest friend.  DON'T FALL FOR THIS.  This is a brainwashed survivor of the DHS experience, who was convinced that jumping through the hoops and cooperating with DHS and all they ask is the only way to fly.  Her side role, more than likely?  A confidant...and more than likely, also?  A stool pidgeon. Yet one more person, from around this room, along with your attorneys, DHS, FSRP and VNS (this intro is coming up) that you can't trust to save your life.

Then, finally we have someone standing at the fore of the room, who is, more than likely, already drawing things up on the board.  You begin discerning what she's writing, and your blood begins to boil at a little bit higher temp.  She then turns to introduce herself as a VNS facilitator...  Wha?  Who?

Now, I have the means, to tell you, that VNS, or Visiting Nurse Services, is a part of F.S.R.P., which, by the way, is an affiliate of DHS...and also is part of Lutheran Services.  "Oh....my...God.  WAIT...wasn't your baby taken at Methodist Hospital?  Didn't that hospital LIE to get neglect charges drummed up in order to remove your child?  Oh, and isn't Lutheran a part of Unity Point Healthcare...along with...METHODIST?"  All good questions, my friends.  And all, deserve answers.  Hell yes...to all.  Do you see this now?  These people, all paid for the removal of my baby, wrongly stolen from the mother...all work for the same people.  DHS AND UNITY POINT HEALTHCARE...Man, that lawsuit smell?  It's getting better, bigger and badder as we sniff.  Oh...but, no.  You see, there's something else I just recently discovered.

See, all along, I'm thinking, after I found out that Unity Healthcare is involved in every facet of this child removal?  I'm thinking, nice...now I can get justice for this.  If I can't get my hands on the main governmental problem here, at least I can sue Unity Point, and their deep pockets for this.  I started to call lawyers all over town.  Nobody called back...and now I know why.

Unity Point Healthcare?  Like DHS?  Is IMMUNE TO PROSECUTION...where child abuse and reporting that abuse is concerned...imagine THAT!!  So, now we have a major healthcare organization, and DHS, colluding together in a shroud of immunity to prosecution...thanks to our stupid immunity laws.  So, who stops these people when someone thinks..."OMG...we're immune!!  We can make some big bucks here, done right...and even if it isn't done right...WE CAN GET AWAY WITH IT ANYWAY!!  WE'RE IMMUNE TO BEING PROSECUTED...BY ANYONE!!"  Or, better yet, DHS probably came up with this idea...and then, after they got the laws passed to protect professional reporters of the healthcare industry to be immune as well, then all it takes is a couple of really evil people in power at both organizations...and the possibilities?  ENDLESS.

ARE WE IDIOTS, AMERICA?  WHY DID WE DO THIS, AND WHY DO WE LET OTHERS PASS LAWS TO LET THEM DO IT?  WHY HASN'T ANYBODY THOUGHT OF THIS...BUT ME??

Anyway, back to the way to beat these bastards, huh?

Now, this is a new thing to me.  See, when I had this "Post-Removal Conference", this was only called a "Family Team Meeting"...because, it WAS a family team meeting.  That's what my attorney (who is no longer with us) called it, that's what DHS called it, and that's what...well, EVERYBODY referred to it as...except now, somewhere around October 21, alla sudden, it magically disappeared, then re-asserted itself as a Post-Removal conference.  Every one after this, exactly likened unto it, with the exact same people attending?  Was the ACTUAL family team meeting.  Imagine that.  Then I figured it out.  This family team meeting...the first one, was now renamed, in order to represent an additional reasonable effort that the court could find and name as something that DHS had offered and tried with the family, in order to "re-unify" us (believe me, by the time I'm finished, the words reasonable and re-unify will be words you'll never want to hear again...but you're about to hear them for the rest of your case, so often as a matter of fact, that just the RE part as it comes out of anyone's mouth will forever make you physically ill).

This "conference", as no one will call it at this time, was DHS's version of the blame game.  "We know that this is what you're guilty of (even though we have no proof of it, just yet), here is our list of terrible things we know you've done (even though we have no proof of this either, just yet), you're horrible horrible little parents (because we had enough bulls*** and bullsh***ers to pull off getting that falsified and wrongly signed order to have your child removed), and you're horrid little people (and we have a hammer of a D.A. that'll be along shortly to prove it), not worthy of our spittle, let alone your child, and you're going down...after we help you reunify your family."  Okaaaaaaaaay.

During this little friendly conference, you're likely to be very upset, and very mad about what has happened...but that's O.K., because this is what DHS wants.  Because when you're upset or mad or both?  You'll be even MORE confused.  You'll then be flooded at this time.  Now, you'll be asked to fill out paperwork, sign things, you'll get, easily, a binder full of things that you have no idea what they are, what they're for, or when they'll be needed...as well as for what.  Nor will you have a clue what you're looking at.  More importantly, you'll have no idea what's coming.  Oh, they'll tell you.  You have a removal hearing on the way...in, more than likely, about a week.  PLENTY of time for you to have sink in what's just been done...but not to realize just what it is that you're gonna need to defend yourself.  And because you have all these great new things to read, understand, fill out and sign?  You're gonna have no clue what you're up against when you get to court for this round.

3.  The removal hearing.  Ah...finally.  Your day in court!  Now you have finally arrived in a court of law.  The judge will have DHS's head for this travesty.....RIGHT??  WRONG!!  Now, of course, this story will definately differ for each of you.  The charges will vary, the choice of judges will vary, and your venues (county, state, city) will vary as well.  But really, if DHS is involved?  They should all carry a similar theme, with an almost identical prosecution of your case...with a judge who is, more than likely, as brainwashed as the rest of these servants of DHS, as well as all the Americans who have been, over the years, brainwashed into thinking that CPS is doing good for America, by a. protecting our children, and b.  bringing justice down on those who would do our children wrong.  Again though, you all have to remember two important facts.  Fact #1?  Absolute power...corrupts absolutely.  DHS, via whatever legal avenue they travelled at some point to get this done, is now IMMUNE TO ANY KIND OF LEGAL PROSECUTION AGAINST THEM.  This means, that, in addition to doing good?  They begin to think they're untouchable.  And I'm sorry, when you're dealing with government connections?  This new immunity to prosecution can only, in hundreds of employees, eventually reach the brains of some really nasty people...and bring on really nasty conspiracies.  "What're you gonna do?  SUE US??? BWAHAHAHAHAHA"....get the picture?  Fact #2, they've BEEN immune...a really long time.  These people...these sick, twisted individuals, immune from prosecution in doing wrong to acheive whatever sick agenda they're currently following are untouchable, and protected, as well as have been for years...even decades.  You don't think that somewhere, down the line, evil isn't creeping into someone's mind here?  That someone we have allowed to be in charge somewhere hasn't seen dollar signs in this?  C'mon America.  Open your eyes, as well as your minds.  This has got to stop.  And it has to stop NOW.

So, now you're in court, and you're pissed, and you're wronged...and you're defenseless (mostly because you have accepted your court-appointed attorneys).  You've had ZERO time to prepare a defense, and you're surrounded by an elected official by the state (the judge), The state itself (the D.A., and DHS), and defended by two state appointed attorneys.  You've already lost, and the court hasn't even risen to greet His Honor yet.  No matter how you slice it...no matter where this goes, you've lost...and you don't know it yet.    The D.A. will, more than likely, be a champion of DHS.  This person, usually a heavy hitter, is someone who has been defending the likes of DHS for years...in case after case.  This person's job will be to come at you with everything they have, at every angle they can work.  First, their job will be to make you look like the scum of America...first, the worst parents ever, then the worst people on earth.  Whether you did wrong or not, whether they have proof or not, it doesn't matter.  What's more, the judge in your case has more than likely, seen hundreds just like it...and you, my friends, are now pidgeon-holed into any one of a hundred roles this person has already seen plenty of, depending on the case, the accusations, and your race and social status.  Thanks to their expert, practiced and consciense-less D.A., you are guilty, Guilty...oh, and did I mention?  GUILTY...AS CHARGED..regardless of race, color, creed, origin, sex or religeon.  Removal?  Sustained.  Defense?  Nada, if you're lucky.  Court over, orders made, papers filed, child, REMOVED.  Next hearing?  Probably a month away or so.  More than enough time to prepare a good defense, you say...maybe.  Probably not.  Here's why.

3.  The Adjudication Hearing...WHAT, ALREADY????  Yeeeeeup.  See, you didn't have any time this month to prepare for this...wanna know why?  I'll tell ya.

See, you don't understand the plan that this practiced, and evil organization of the state had in mind.  You forgot, didn't you?  These people have been doing this for DECADES!!  See, what you didn't notice is that DHS, in its practiced and calculating way, has kept you so busy, you didn't know the month was zooming by at a rather alarming speed.  They now have you "jumping through hoops"...in order to get the one thing that you are (and should definately be) focused on...getting your child or children back into your home.  They have, in their spare time, bamboozled you.  They know what's important to you.  Your reunification...as a family.  What YOU DON'T KNOW is THIS.  There's only one way to get your child or children returned to your home...bow low to the power of DHS.  Accept their brainwashing, and like it.  Oh, and there's one..more thing you don't know.  If they don't like you?  It won't matter.  You're going to, whether you accept this as fact or not, lose your children...or spend the better part of your life fighting to get them back.

There are some in this country..good, solid people...who have fought DHS...some have won, some have lost.  They will, and still do, help you in your fight.  Some will tell you this:  fight your battles in court.  Eventually, if you play by the rules of the court, you may succeed.  They may be right.  They may also?  Be wrong.  This, I'm afraid, is not the way I plan to play.  Oh, I'll play, until all of my aces are exhausted, or beaten.  What DHS and the courts don't seem to get, is that I will fight this battle to my last dying breath, of this you can be certain. But I don't plan to play by the rules...of DHS, the courts, or the judges that preside over them.  No, America, this is NOT the way we shall win this war.  The way we are going to win this war, is to be in charge of it.  As a person in charge, I can win this war by changing the rules.  DHS and CPS?  Will fall.  Will lose.  And will be disbanded as the evil department of state that it is now.  It will become, as originally intended, a HUMAN services department of government...without the corruptible element of immunity.  This WILL CHANGE, AND IT WILL CHANGE...SOON!!  I plan to be the judge, jury, and executioner of it's demise as it stands today.  And America, I plan to have you, exhausted by this department, and tired of its Gestapo like standing, right at my side, all the way.  This oppressive group has got to be stopped, and it must be stopped now, or America and all we know of its Governmental agenda will consume and destroy us, if we don't act NOW.  But enough of me, let's talk about you.

Now, you have had your child officially removed, and adjudicated.  In other words, the charges these people have filed and accused you of?  Have now been pinned to your chest.  You are now OFFICIALLY criminals, guilty of abusing, neglecting or putting your child in imminent danger.  Your child is now a CINA...a child in need of assistance from the court.  The next hearing?  The Dispositional hearing.

4.  The Dispositional hearing.  Now, if you're like me, a fighter...you are now in the crosshairs of DHS, prior to this hearing.  They have chosen their weapon, have loaded it, and now have it pointed directly at your heart, with the full intention of killing you where you stand.  Now, DHS may just be immune to the prosecution of the parents...but they are NOT...as mentioned in Beating the DHS Railroad Job Part I, above the law.  These people have governmental guildelines they have to follow at all times, as well as state law they have to abide by, just like the rest of us.  But, once again, there are both of the facts, previously mentioned back in #3, that we HAVE to remember.  #1, Immunity to prosecution, and #2, Longevity and experience.  If you forget either of these facts, at any one instance, you will be eaten alive whilst you scream in agony.  They will chew you up and spit you out, like so much beetle dung.  If, like someone else, say....your wife or girlfriend, you are submissive to the power of DHS, and do everything they command, you will still be in danger of chewing and spitting, no less than the afore-mentioned fighter...they'll just be a lot nicer about it.  Depending on the fight, the conditions of the fight, and the players in this fight, as well as everything you do, they may play very nice and eventually give you what you want.  They may also PLAY like they're going to give you what you want, but make you jump through so many hoops that you wish you hadn't played along in the first place...they may even make you play these games for YEARS...THEN they might give you your children back.  If you run into a fairly nasty strain of workers, you may get your kids back...then get them taken away again, for whatever reason, and may even do it again, and again...just to mess with you for talking back to them once, 6 years ago.  Because they are DHS.  Because "that's just the way it is".  This is yours...as well as America's, grevous way of thinking.  It most certainly is NOT the way it is.  We are trained to think in these terms.  It is my plan, eventually, to UNtrain you.

I'm afraid, because of the length of this post, that there will be a part B.  See you after my "fun"!!
