Alabama lawyer recuses himself from Lynch claim

I received a letter from Hendon B. DeBray, the attorney who was appointed by Judge Eugene W. Reese to mediate the frivolous claim LuAn Long and Parish have brought against me. He has recused himself. The letter was addressed to the Hon. Eugene W. Reese. It said simply,

"Dear Judge Reese:

I must recuse myself from the above-styled matter in accordance with your order of May 10, 2004. I regret that I will be unable to act as mediator in this matter."

Mr. DeBray did not give any reason for taking this action. Apparently lawyers do not have to give judges any reason for what they do. This is part of what is wrong with the judicial system. Lawyers are not held to account for their actions, they do not have to explain why they do whatever they decide to do.

My immediate response was to fire off a letter to the Honorable Judge Reese and ask him again to please appoint me an attorney ad litem as I do not want to represent myself against any other dishonest, deceitful and unethical lawyers in an Alabama court. That is what happened when I filed a civil claim against my eldest brother, his daughter, and BFI when they put a dumpster in my driveway and had a dumpster party throwing away everything they could lay their hands on.

Hopefully Judge Reese will appoint an attorney to represent me. The problem as I see it is that this is a case no attorney will want to take. From the attorneys that I’ve talked to they do not like cases which involve family disputes. Lawyers like cases where they can sue big companies and collect huge settlements. Sorry, I don’t think that’s going to happen here. But they might be able to take away all my property, to fill their own pockets and coffers with what amounts to a snack for them. What they want most, perhaps, or those who employ them want, is to take away my ability to help my mother, that I can not sue them or any of the big businesses they represent. My mother certainly does not want or need these money grubbing lawyers suing me. She is very well provided for through her benefits. Plus such a frivolous claim does great hurt, harm and disgrace to my mother and our family.

The court dispute in which I’m involved is the result of action which Carl Gregory Lynch has planned and orchestrated. This has been done to destroy my life and family -- exactly what he threaten to do back in April of 2002. It was this threat, his hostility toward me and his threats to put my mother in a nursing home which is probably what motivated her to give me all her real and personal property. This was done when we went to sign documents on July 12, 2002. There were a whole bunch of documents that were signed on the same day, given it was necessary to file an answer to the affidavits Greg and Sharon had made. My mother was very upset when she read their affidavits which did not reflect the truth of the situation. So my mother wanted to support my claimed and signed an affidavit of her own which she rewrote and edited several times.

Thus I remain without legal representation and a trial date has been set for August 30, 2004. My position remains firm, that LuAn Long and Parish are participating in an action which misrepresents my mother, that they are perpetuating the deceit, dishonesty and crimes done by Carl Gregory Lynch and which involved Sharon L. Creson which let to my mother being declared a ward of the state of Alabama.

One of these crimes, perhaps the greatest, involves the abduction and kidnapping of Lawrence C. Lynch by Carl Gregory Lynch and Sharon L. Crenson. Larry was taken from his home by force on Nov. 20, 2003. I filed a report with the Montgomery County Police Department but they did nothing to help me get Larry back home. What they did was to ignore my complaint and act upon a complaint made my Carl Gregory Lynch, to have me committed to a mental institution. Kathryn Dickey went to the police department and argued to persuade them to have me arrested. Then she helped Carl Gregory Lynch make a fraudulent petition that I could be arrested.

This fraudulent petition resulted in the police coming to my house in the middle of the night, handcuffing me, taking me to Baptist Hospital South, detaining me at Meadhaven (the local clearing house for mental patients), and invading my person and privacy against my will. I was then taken before the Probate Court, chained and handcuffed like a criminal for a commitment hearing. This act, I believe, has forever prejudiced the Court against me. It was also an attempt to humiliate me and to also enable Carl Gregory Lynch to get Larry out of state so that power and control over him could be obtained. Subsequently Larry’s trust fund was raided and all the benefit money for Larry and my mother was stolen from Larry’s trust fund. The money my mother receives was redirected. Collectively this represents over $52,000.00 annually! This is theft, pure and simple, using the legal system to enable said theft, following a plan orchestrated by Carl Gregory Lynch and aided and abetted by his attorney, Kathryn Dickey.

So Carl Gregory Lynch has carried out his threat to destroy my life, the threat he made in front of my mother in April, 2002. His way of doing this was to destroy my family, to humiliate and defame me and to have me committed to a mental institution. Fortunately the later fraud did not work as I had already retained an attorney at the time to represent Larry and I. So because he had been paid this money was applied to my defense. Plus I had an attorney, Mr. David E. Belser of Nabors, Belser & DeBray, LLC, appointed by the Court to represent me.

Basically what Carl Gregory Lynch did was to kidnap Larry using force and when I tried to stop him, he turned around and filed a fraudulent claim for involuntary commitment. He lied to the Court saying I had threatened him with a knife. He said I was “paranoid and delusional.” He said I was trying to locate him and had plans to harm him (knowing I was a non-violent person and had never harmed anyone in my entire life). He lied also that the Department of Human Services (DHR) had removed my mother and Larry from the home due to neglect and erratic behavior.” This simply was a bald faced lie! My mother was not at home because she had a stroke and I saved her life by rushing her to the emergency room at Jackson Hospital on Aug. 28, 2003. Then I am the one who had her transferred to a nursing home as this was what her doctor recommended. DHR had no involvement in making these decisions as I was the one with a Durable Power of Attorney made by my mother; i.e., I was the sole person my mother trusted enough with her life to give this power.

As for Larry, he was kidnapped from his home by force, taken by Carl Gregory Lynch and Sharon L. Crenson while trying to enter a vehicle to go see Mr. James M. Smith, the attorney I had retained to represent us. DHR did not take Larry; Larry was kidnapped, pure and simple. Carl Gregory Lynch and Sharon L. Crenson may have lied to DHR to get them to sign some documents related to my mother and Larry. That is quite possible given the fact they have lied upon numerous occasions to me and to the Court.

After spending three and a half days at Meadhaven, nothing could be found wrong with me, despite review by two psychiatrists. So I was set free at the commitment hearing. Yet this was not done in court. I remained handcuffed and chained like a criminal. I was escorted back out to the police car and taken back to Meadhaven. Only later in the day was I released.

It is outrageous that the legal system is setup to permit such illegal arrest and detainment. This story demands being told so the public may be aware that this can still happen in the United States of America. Someone can lie and try to have you committed. And even when the Court says there are not grounds to hold you, you remain in shackles until they get the paper work done! This is simply an outrage and an extreme abridgment of human rights.

It is also very bad that the legal system has allowed Carl Gregory Lynch and Sharon L. Crenson to escape scott-free. These are two people who have serious substance abuse problems and very bad tempers when they are intoxicated. If anyone needs commitment and therapy it is Carl Gregory Lynch and Sharon L. Crenson. In fact I might just file for their commitment should they every appear at my front door again, especially if they exhibit arrive drunk and start screaming and yelling at me, making threats to burn my car or destroy my life, as they have done in the past.

With a brother like Carl Gregory Lynch and a niece like Sharon L. Crenson, who needs enemies! Therefore I hereby officially announce to the world that I no longer consider these two people relations of mine, that I never want to set my eyes upon them again, that they are forever forbidden to trespass upon my home or property and that if they violate this order, I will summon the police to cart them off.

By the way, it should be noted that after Carl Gregory Lynch and Sharon L. Crenson came to my home in April of 2002 and were hostile, threatening and destroyed my property, I contacted the Montgomery County Police Department for their advice. I was told that I should issue them a no trespassing order, that I must do this first before they could be removed from the property should they trespass. I issued such a written order, but it was violated upon several occasions. In fact this order was standing when they abducted and kidnapped Larry. Then at my mother’s hearing this was brought up as a way to try to convince the Court I was not acting normally. What I was trying to do was follow the instructions given to me by the police so that I could avoid any hostility or violence in my home, given both Carl Gregory Lynch and Sharon L. Crenson exhibited such behavior in the past.

My home is my castle and I simply do not want to associate with anyone who has a history of violent, hostile behavior and/or substance abuse. This is because I am a non-violent person and do not want to be around violent people. However I am not to let others take advantage of me, to hurt and harm me. This is why I have stood up and am fighting for my mother’s dignity and honor. This is why I am fighting for Larry, a person who has mental retardation and cannot speak for himself. The Courts have failed in their duty to administrate the law with respect to Larry and my mother, for they have been deceived by a plan designed and orchestrated by Carl Gregory Lynch and which has involved Sharon L. Crenson. I have been out flanked by a set of two very smart, very good, very believable liars. But no matter how believable their lies are to other, they can not hide the from one who know them well. Thus I’ve presented that truth for all to see and know and urge that you support me in my effort to help restore my mother’s honor.

Lawyer takes on persona of "that dog face woman."

While visiting with my mother at King Ding Dong nursing home she told me that Greg's television exploded! Apparently she learned this while on the telephone talking with Larry. I told her that televisions do not just explode, that maybe Greg saw something on the television about the mythology of the Big Bang and got so angry he threw something at the screen or shot it out! That is what it would take to make a television tube explode.

Of course television tubes do not explode, they implode due to the high vacuum on the cathode ray tube. When I was a teenager I had an old television set which a repair shop had discarded. I was taking it apart to remove components to use to make other electronic devices. The television tube slide off the work bench when the washer was cycling due to resonate vibrations which caused the tube to move. I had stepped away at the time so was not present to see the implosion, but I heard it. There was a loud bang from the basement when the television hit the floor and the tube imploded sending shattered glass flying around the basement. It was like a small bomb had gone off. I can imagine how dangerous this would be occurring in someone's home as a result of a fit of rage and an object being thrown at the television screen. Larry was lucky as he could have been seriously injured or blinded by the glass.

While visiting with my mother I told here that she reminded me of the grandmother figure, Mrs. Doubtfire, which Robin Williams played in the 1993 movie by the same name. I reviewed the plot in which Sally Field played the ex-wife of an actor who disguises himself as a female housekeeper to spend time with his children held in her custody. My mother said she remembered the movie and said that was a good comparison, referring to how she resembled Mrs. Doubtfire after she put on her eyebrows.

We then talked about what she wanted to do. I asked her if she would like to move to Colorado where Larry was so she could be closer to him? I mentioned that even though it was cold there this would not be a big factor as she would be inside all the time. When I mentioned being cold I asked if she were cold and she said she was, making a shivering movement of her arms and grinning her teeth, despite the fact it was over 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside and about 75 to 80 degrees inside the nursing home. Given my mother's poor circulation, a problem which has not been properly addressed by the nursing home, she often feels cold even when it is very warm. Obviously the thought of moving to a colder climate does not sit well with my mother, especially if she would have to live in the same house with Greg and his wife for whom she has often expressed disregard. Probably the most comfortable place for my mother to spend the remainder of her life would be southern Florida where it is warm most of the year. That is certainly one reason many elderly people relocate and retire there.

I also told my mother that I filed a complaint with the Alabama State Bar against Ms. Kathryn Dickey. This seemed to bring great joy to my mother's face as she made a big smile. I asked her if she remembered Ms. Dickey and she said that she did, referring to her as "that dog face woman." Apparently my mother remembers Ms. Dickey quite well. Their first encounter was on the telephone when Ms. Dickey called me at home early in the summer of 2002. This was after I had filed a claim against Greg and Sharon for their dumpster fiasco.

I talked to Ms. Dickey telling her, after she asked if I had a history of mental problems, that I did not and that she needed to be asking this question to Sharon, as she had been in a mental institution in Pennsylvania; that both Greg and Sharon had a substance abuse and temper problem when they drank too much. Apparently Ms. Dickey did not want to believe this as she seemed to let it go in one ear and other the other, continuing to harass me with questions, knowing I did not have a lawyer present and did not want to be talking with her about the claim I had filed.

Then Ms. Dickey asked to speak with my mother. After getting off the phone with Ms. Dickey, my mother said she had asked her a series of questions and had pressed her for information, despite the fact that Ms. Dickey had been informed my mother did not have an attorney present. My mother said she "never wanted to speak with that woman again," or to have anything to do with her. Apparently my mother had gotten a very bad impression of Ms. Dickey over the telephone, and there was some quality about her that she did not like. Now that my mother has had even more dealing and suffered as a consequence of Ms. Dickey's aiding Greg and Sharon in their efforts to keep my mother in a nursing home and take away all her privacy, dignity and rights, my mother refers to Ms. Dickey as "that dog face woman."

I thought it interesting that my mother would not say Ms. Dickey's name but was now referring to her as, "that dog face woman." Often when people cannot remember names they form an association inside their minds with an image to identify one's most outstanding feature or character. My mother had formed such an association with Ms. Dickey. Apparently my mother regards Ms. Dickey as "that dog faced woman," for whatever reason. I think this may be because when Ms. Dickey gets started firing questions, it is like she is a dog barking. I observed this in court when Ms. Dickey crossed examined me at my mother's hearing to appoint a guardian and conservator. I also observed this when Ms. Dickey and I argued in front of Judge William Shashey. Ms. Dickey even accused me of being angered by the fact Greg and Sharon placed a dumpster in the driveway and removed and destroyed property of value. She incorrectly described my adamant and empathic argument for anger so that the court reporter would record her statements and deceive anyone who read the Court record in this regard. Inotherwords, Ms. Dickey barked in alarm like a "dog face woman," to give the impression that something was wrong, when in fact nothing was wrong except the fact she was trying to manipulate the Court.

I believe it is very perceptive of my mother to refer to Ms. Dickey as "that dog face woman." My mother may have early signs of dementia but she still retains her sense of humor and there is truth in her words. Whether this impression comes to my mother from how Ms. Dickey talks on the telephone or appears in person or pictures, it certainly shows that my mother still has her wits about her. She has keyed in on a primary feature of Ms. Dickey's personality, naming her "that dog face woman," just as shamans or medicine doctors would recognize such qualities in the patients they would treat, renaming them after the spirits or qualities they would most readily portray or emanate, qualities which the shamans were able to perceive through their wisdom and enlightenment, qualities that others could not see.

My mother has hit the nail on the head and given the lady who is ultimately responsible for having her imprisoned in a nursing home a new name, just as might the American Indians have given the white man a new name for stealing their land and killing their people. To my mother Ms. Dickey is "that dog face woman," the one who has taken away her privacy, stolen her child, Larry, and locked her away from society, from family, from everyone she loves. How perceptive of my mother to see in these actions that they are the consequence of "that dog face woman!"

When I told my mother that I had filed a complaint against Ms. Dickey, that I had just mailed this to the Alabama State Bar, it filled my mother's eyes with a bright sparkle and she smiled. Seeing how happy this news made my mother brought me joy and reassurance that I had done the right thing to restore my mother's honor and make public the misconduct and corruption that has occurred in regard to my mother's situation.

Certainly my actions against Ms. Dickey will have consequence. I would not be surprised if the woman my mother calls "that dog face woman" were not to bring a suit against me for liable. But remember, it is not I who have spoken these words, it is my mother. I have merely related and reported them; I have merely attempted to make a case for my mother, given she is locked up in a nursing home, has early signs of dementia, and cannot speak for herself. I have merely tried to restore my mother's honor, to restore her dignity and respect her rights by bringing to light the wrong which has been done to her by others.

I love you, Mom!










Court says elderly cannot speak for themselves

When the Court made my mother a ward of the state it essentially said that elderly people cannot speak for themselves. The Court by its actions has said that my mother's wishes and directives should be ignored. What my mother wanted and planned for herself and her children will not happen because the Court has made my mother a ward of the state.

Should this stand it means that elderly people throughout the great state of Alabama cannot make their own decisions, directives or Durable Powers of Attorney, as these can be made void and revoked by lawyers appointed as guardians and conservators through a corrupt legal system.

Certainly it is corrupt for lawyers to have someone arrested and thrown into a nut house on trumped up charges and false allegations that came about through a criminal act which was contrived and plotted which that person tried to stop and resist.

This is exactly what happened to me that the Court would be made prejudice against me and my mother made a ward of the state of Alabama.

How can anyone, especially the elderly, defend themselves against such corruption and abuse? My answer is to expose that corruption so that everyone may read for themselves about what happened, so the people may learn about the corruption, that it may be brought to light. Therein I hope justice will best be served since it cannot be delivered through a corrupt system of greedy lawyers, judges elected for their popularity not appointed for their qualifications, and nursing homes strapped for cash and milking the elderly so that they may survive.

I received a letter from the Montgomery County Probate Court which threatened me with contempt of court charges if I did anything to help my mother. Why should the Court be afraid of me? What are they trying to hide? What do not they want revealed? Could it be that the judges themselves are corrupt? When I discovered that Probate Judge Reese McKinney, Jr. was on the Board of Trustees for Jackson Hospital, the same hospital where my mother went after here stroke, the same hospital which infected her legs with maggots, the same hospital which stuck her with a needle and wanted to test her for HIV, the virus which causes AIDS, the same hospital which would not transfer her to the Eisenhower Medical Center or Birmingham Medical Center when I requested that this be done, the same hospital which arranged for my mother to be transferred the KING DING DONG nursing home ... it all begins to fit into place. The system is structured to warehouse the elderly, and the judges have their hands deep in the cookie jar.

Certainly the fact that Probate Judge Reese McKinney is a trustee of Jackson Hospital, that this hospital may have opened itself up for a law suit in a number of regards, and this judge was in a position to insure that would not happen, reeks of corruption. For the way to prevent me from suing Jackson Hospital or even King Ding Dong nursing home was for the Court to appoint lawyers to be my mother's guardian and conservator. And that is exactly what was done.

How should I respond to this injustice? Would the best response be to file a claim against everyone involved, including the judges? What recourse do I have? Certainly and claim in these regards would be quite expensive. Therein we have another element of corruption. Lawyers can file claims day in and day out just to harass people. They can conspire to have people arrested and thrown into nut houses. This is easy to do if a family member has an ulterior motive or a personal vendetta. Lucky me, my brother Greg fits the bill perfectly. He is an Alabama lawyer's dream come true, a pocket of money willing to pay their bills if they will but do his bidding.

Now what could possibly have been Greg's motives, and his daughters motives as with respect to my mother's unfortunate situation? Well, it so happens that Sharon has been begging my mother to help pay her huge educational loans off for years. I discovered a number of letters Sharon wrote to my mother in this regard.

In a letter to my mother dated 6/26/98 Sharon wrote:

"I owe about $52,000.00 in student loans. Obviously that's my responsibility & a deal I "made with the devil" to attend school. I'm asking for help paying it."

Sharon when on to write:

"As you know, I can't even get a car loan on my own because of this volume of debt. I will never be able to buy a home, or manage things comfortably unless I do something. Because of recent changes in federal loans, I'm not even sure I can consolidate the loand, and if I do, I will literally have to extend the payment period to 25 years to manage the monthly payments, something that would seriously impact my ability even to save for retirement.

Sharon when on to ask my mother to help pay off her educational loans, saying, "I'd like you, if possible, to actually pay off the whole amount, or have it officially switched to your name or barrow money from a bank to pay it off & then you pay off the bank. If you can't do this than the next best thing would be to just take over the payments (as you did on this loan once before.)

Sharon concluded by writing, "I wouldn't ask, but I'm just so tired of struggling so hard to manage this. I hope you can help and know that I'm asking others to as well. If you can't, I will understand."

Earlier in the letter Sharon wrote that she was also writing letters to others whom she said should help her. Why she thought they should help her or were somehow obligated to help her, I do not know. The way she phrased it was, "I've finally decided I have to ask for help in a serious way, so I'm writing letters to you, my dad, tricia, and to Bill, because these are the people I think can, perhaps should ?, and I hope will help."

Apparently at the time Sharon wrote this letter to my mother she had educational loans of over $52,000.00. In four or five years the interest on these loans would have increased her debt significantly! What better way to repay these loans than to put my mother in a nursing home, and get power and control over her and Larry's benefits which total over $50,000.00 a year!

This is apparently exactly what has happened. By kidnapping Larry and taking him to Colorado, then raiding his trust fund and having Larry's VA benefits and Social Security check redirected, Greg and Sharon have taken control of these monies for themselves. One immediate consequence is that Sharon was able to realize her dream and go to the People's Republic of China. God only knows what on earth she could possibly want to do that for?

In addition to getting power and control over Larry's trust monies and benefits, the Court appointed guardians and conservators redirected my mother's benefits, into their own pockets as far as I'm concerned. Then they hit me with a law suit on the frivolous claim that my mother did give me all her real and personal property. Well, sorry folks, that is exactly what she did. This was done back in July of 2002 at the same time she had other documents notarized. I'm publishing the property transfer document on the Internet for the whole world to see! This I'm also doing to vindicate my mother that her will might be done.

Another reason I'm publishing these legal documents and evidence upon the Internet is because this is a way they can be preserved and protected. Sharon already threatened to burn my van when I had legal document stored in it. This was back in April of 2002 around the same time Sharon and Greg did the dumpster-in-the-driveway fiasco. So by publishing these legal documents upon the Internet they are out there for everyone to see and even if Sharon or Greg try to burn down my house, they will not be able to destroy these documents.

Oh, by the way, after the dumpster-in-the-driveway fiasco I produced a site entitled Dumpster Damnation to educate and inform people with regard to the inappropriate usage of dumpsters, to promote user licensing of dumpsters and speak out against the solid waste industry and the raping of the environment to create gigantic landfills. I figured that was a good way to rock the boat, given it is my opinion that dumpster companies and the solid waste industry are monsters destroying the environment, much of their money probably going into organized crime. After all it is not just a coincidence that many of these solid waste companies have corporate associations in Delaware, New Jersey, Arizona and Nevada -- literally nationwide. Smells like the Mafia is involved to me. But even if the major waste disposal companies are clean as a whistle, they still are engaged in raping the environment at a level which makes moonscapes out of mountains.

Over time I will be posting more legal documents to use as evidence with respect to claim my mother's court appointed guardians and conservators have brought against me. This should keep them out of the dumpster should Sharon and Greg appear on the scene and break into my house. Given they both have a substance abuse problem and are likely to do anything when enebriated, I figure it is a good idea to preserve evidence by posting it on the Internet. After all if they would kidnap Larry, have me arrested and thrown into a nut house on fradulent charges, they would do just about anything. As I've said before, who needs enemies when you have a brother who is like this!

Also it is my intent to print out this blog and present it one day in court. If nothing else a judge will have a good read, something more interesting to muse over than those sterile legal documents lawyers prepare. In the past my brother's lawyer, Ms Kathryn Dickey, has sited my websites trying to use them against me. Greg has done the same thing in court. Next time around I'll just print out this blog and give it to the judge along with all the associated documents so he can make a decision based upon actually seeing my work, instead of having someone make innuendoes about it.

Hope for Alzheimer's patients

Recent discoveries may give hope for Alzheimer's patients. It has been discovered that
what causes memory loss in Alzheimer's patients may be toxic proteins. These toxic proteins seem to work by attaching themselves to human neurons inside the brain. This disrupts the transmission of electrical signals along the neurons preventing the normal function of the brain. If scientist can find a way to neutralize the effects of these toxic proteins they may be able to prevent memory loss in patients with early signs of Alzheimer's.

See: NEUROSCIENCE: "Downsized Target" A tiny protein called ADDL could be the key to Alzheimer's By Tom Valeo" in Scientific America magazine, May 2004.

This represents a great hope for Alzheimer's patients, especially those who are showing early symptoms. It may even be possible that a drug or vaccine can be developed which will act a miracle cure for those with Alzheimer's and memory loss caused by these toxic proteins.

What can you do if you have a parent or grandparent with Alzheimer's, dementia or other disease where memory loss is a problem? Perhaps you will want to buy stock in Merck. Merck has committed $48 million to develop and market an antibody and vaccine to counter the effects of toxic proteins which cause memory loss. Merck has teamed up with Acumen Pharmaceuticals which holds the patient rights to ADDLs. Thus by supporting Merck you will help fund efforts to develop a prevention and/or possible cure for Alzheimer's.

Elderly mother victim of Alabama's broken system

My mother is 84 years old. She is still recovering from the stroke she had on Aug. 28, 2003. She has never been quite the same since that day. I was told that she has vascular dementia.

What is dementia? First, dementia is not just one disease but many. Like cancer, dementia has more than one form. Symptomatically it is a disease which is characterized by a change in how the mind of an individual normally functions. In my mother's case one day she was her normal self, reading books, working crossword puzzles, watching television, fixing her own meals, balancing her check book and walking about the house just as you or I might do. Then after her stroke everything changed.

Vascular dementia is the result from circulation problems. When the brain does not get enough oxygen parts of the brain stop working properly. This results in changes in body function and/or behavior. In my mother's case she no longer seems to be able to remember clearly. She can, however read and write. When in the hospital during August of 2003 her doctor tested her mental function. This was immediately after her stroke during recovery. At first she was quite incoherent. Her cognition was not very good. Then over the course of three weeks these tests improved and she got better, well enough to be transferred to a nursing home. At this point she was able to read and write again.

Once at the nursing home my mother's doctor started her on medication for depression. Yet she had not been diagnosed with depression prior to going in the nursing home. I had been told by my mother's doctor that she would probably need three to four weeks of therapy and rehabilitation and when admitted to the nursing home it was stated that she was being admitted as a temporary patient. I was to learn that in Alabama "temporary" means permanent. Like slavery ended with the Civil War but it still continues in Alabama in the form of separation of the races. Social segregation is alive and well in Alabama. Slavery exists, not in the owning of people as property but in the power and control white people maintain over black people. In Alabama temporary means permanent ... at least until the second coming!

My mother is not black, but she might as well be as far as her rights are concerned. The Montgomery County Probate Court took away my mother's rights. In doing so they took away her dignity, her respect and did a great dishonor to her. My mother is the wife and widow of Lt. Col. Leonard P. Lynch, a much decorated US Army officer. As a family my mother's income has always come from the federal government, not the State of Alabama. Yet an Alabama court has now dishonored my mother and court appointed guardians and conservators now have power and control of my mother's income.

It is apparent to me that what was done to my mother was done for money. The nursing home wanted to continue to receive money from my mother's benefits as she has TriCare for Life, Social Security benefits, VA benefits and an annuity from the Defense Department. This is quite a hefty sum. What better way to support an under funded nursing home than to miserly gain power and control over the income of elderly women who have outlived their spouses and can easily be parted from their money by a simple court order.

My mother's judge at her hearing in the Montgomery County Probate Court was Reese McKinney, Jr. He has a website at: Probate Judge Reese McKinney, Jr. I don't have such a good opinion of this judge after he made my mother a ward of the state. Plus in the course of my research (In fact, while searching for the link I just added) I learned that this same judge is a trustee at Jackson Hospital (See Jackson Hospital Trustees), the same hospital where my mother was admitted after her stroke. Well, it so happens that while at this hospital my mother may not have been treated properly. There are issues related to the matter of malpractice. It came out during my sanity hearing that there were flies in the emergency room when my mother was admitted to Jackson Hospital. I obeserved these flies land upon my mother. She had open wounds on her legs as a result of her circulation problem. These were bluebottle flies. I know this as I captured one and identified it later. This variety of flies lays eggs which hatch immediately. In the emergency room my mother was found to have maggots on her legs. She got these in the emergency room. This represents a very unsanitary condition. Hence as attorney in fact for my mother I may have been in a position to bring a law suit against Jackson Hospital. Certainly as a trustee for Jackson Hospital, Judge Reese Mckinney, Jr. would have recognized this fact. Hence he should have recused himself from my mother's hearing to appoint a guardian and conservator. This was not done. I did not know this association at the time of my mother's hearing or I would certainly have asked that he recuse himself.

Court orders are court orders and must be obeyed. So my mother is now essentially a prisoner of the nursing home system in Alabama by court order. Judge Reese McKinney, Jr. order that my mother be kept in the nursing home until this matter was judicated. So now she is trapped in this particular nursing home as the Court appointed a guardian and conservator for my mothers. The nursing home is getting paid very well through receipt of benefits and the court appointed guardians and conservators are getting the rest of my mother's income to fill their own pockets. As far as I'm concerned this amounts to theft by deception. It is a form of legalized theft in the same way that the white man stole the land from the American Indians. It is all perfectly legal, perhaps, but theft nonetheless.

I was inspired by these events to write a poem entitled "Candy Bar Judges." Apparently Alabama courts are full of these candy bar judges. Perhaps the most famous candy bar judge was Roy Moore. He was the supreme court judge in Alabama who placed a monument of the Ten Commandments in the rotunda of the state supreme court judicial building. Though his name may not be Reese, Hershey or Butterfingers, Judge Moore is a candy bar judge. He was elected to the supreme court of Alabama not because he was the most qualified for this position, but because he was the most popular, having gain fame by placing a plaque to the Ten Commandments in his courtroom.

The same is true of Judge Reese McKinney, the judge who took away all my mother's rights and made her a ward of the state of Alabama. This judge does not sit on the bench because he was the most qualified person appointed for this position. Rather, he was elected by a popular vote. That's how it works in Alabama, if you kiss enough ass and gain enough friends and pocket enough money, you can win an election and be a judge in Alabama. So should your name be Reese, Hershey or Butterfingers, and you aspire to be a judge, come to Alabama, join the Southern Baptist Church and put your name in the pot. The only dues you have to pay are to get a law degree from a diploma factory.

Fortunately in the United States of America we still have freedom of speech, press and religion. I'm publishing my opinions in this blog as an express of my US Constitutional Rights. Therefore while I must comply with the court's order respecting my mother, I denounce the manner in which she has been treated by the nursing home and the court appointed guardians and conservators. Together the system has disrespected my mother's every wish and written directive.

This is an important issue. Every adult in the state of Alabama has the potential to become a victim of the system, a ward of the state. You do not have to commit a crime for this to happen, you just have to get old.

Every citizen in the state of Alabama is at risk of being made a ward of the state. You can be young or old. All that is necessary is for someone to say you are quite nuts. Then you can be arrested in your own home, dragged out, have your person and privacy invaded and be put in an institution for the insane. In my own case I was fortunate enough to have recently retained an attorney in preparation for my mother's hearing with respect to who would be her guardian and conservator. So after my brother filed a fraudulent petition with respect to my sanity and had me arrested and incarcerated for "evaluation," I was able to get off the hook, being represented by my own attorney and one the Court appointed. Yet certainly this prejudice the Court against me for my sanity hearing was in the same probate court as my mother's hearing. My arrest and incarceration in a nut house was planned and designedto prevent my presence at my mother's hearing to establish who would be her guardian and conservator. This hearing was scheduled for 8:30 AM, November 24, 2003. I was arrested on Nov. 21 and did not get out of Meadhaven until Nov. 25, the same day as my hearing in the Montgomery County Probate Court. So the fact I had just been released from Meadhaven certainly would prejudice any judge against me.

It is very important that everyone understand how this injustice was done. It could not have been done without the participation and cooperation of well paid lawyers. What occurred was the result of a plan that had been worked out by my eldest brother with the participation and cooperation of a well paid lawyer, Ms Kathryn Dickey. Ms. Dickey is a very good lawyer. She certainly has a good understanding of Alabama law. I know this as I've argued against her in court. True, I'm not a lawyer. But I was involved in a case with Ms. Dickey after Greg did his dumpster stunt and destroyed a great deal of personal property. I sued Greg, Sharon and the dumpster company. Ms. Dickey was the lawyer who got Greg and Sharon off the hook. In that case I was not represented by an attorney which was certainly a mistake. Yet from this encounter I met Ms. Dickey and learned that she was certainly a worthy opponent and that I'd never be likely to win a legal argument when up against a someone well schooled in Alabama law.

Thus Ms. Dickey knew I was not crazy and when she went to the police station to help Greg have me arrested and thrown into a nut house, she certainly must have know this was not warranted and being done only to prejudice the court against me and enable Larry's abduction and kidnapping, that Greg and Sharon could get Larry out of the state of Alabama, which is exactly what was done.

Now as of this present writing I'm being sued my the lawyers who were appointed to be my mother's guardians and conservators. They want the court to say that the property my mother gave me remains part of her estate. Then they would be able to do with it as they will. Thus they could use the income from this property to pay their own high fees and support the nursing home where my mother is essentially incarcerated. This is how the nursing homes in Alabama and the corrupt lawyers who deal with them are funded.
It is an outrage! It is an injustice! It is a form of elder abuse! It destroys families! It destroys confidence in the judicial system! It destroys reputations! It destroys the will to live itself!

Therefore I have mustered the courage to speak out against this injustice. This corrupt system has destroyed my mother's life, robber her of her freedom, privacy and dignity, and her will to live. How can I say this? How do I know this is true? Well, my mother told me as much herself. When she learned that the court appointed lawyers were suing me, her most loved son, she later remove her own feeding tube! She wanted to die!

I visited my mother after she pulled the feeding tube out of her nose. She had had a feeding tube in place since being at Jackson Hospital. This was used to provide additional supplements as she was not eating properly. After she removed her feeding tube which ran from her nose down into her stomach, she phoned me and left a message on my answering machine. I then went down to the KING DING DONG nursing home and discovered that my mother had yanked her feeding tube out. It was very corroded with black debris on the tube. It looked disgusting and had a bad odor. Why the nurses and attendants had left it sitting there on the night stand beside my mother's bed is anyone's guess.

Of course when I confronted the nursing home attendants about this they said, oh it just fell out. They left that way despite the fact that a doctor had not ordered the tube to be removed and only weeks earlier the nursing home had wanted to put this tube into my mother's stomach. My mother's had not agreed to this nor had I because the nursing home had not properly informed me in advance of scheduling a surgery, that I might consult with the doctors to get enough information in order to make a decision in this regard. By the way, this occurred prior to my mother's hearing when the nursing home was still recognizing the Durable Power of Attorney my mother had given me.

Thus I've concluded that the nursing home system and the lawyers involved in keeping my mother in this system are corrupt. The issue is not if my mother needs to be in a nursing home. Certainly she needs professional care. The issue simply is who with provide that care and who will have the power and control over the administration of my mother's affairs. My mother designated me as the responsible party, as her attorney in fact. But in Alabama a court order takes precedent over this. So now instead of having a family member, the person my mother wanted to be her guardian and conservator, to be the one making decisions for her health, care and welfare, she has been made a ward of the state of Alabama.

I do not know how other states deal with the elderly. But I regard what has happened to my mother as an injustice. Thus I'm reporting this injustice and the associated corruption of the system which enable it that others might learn and perhaps benefit from this knowledge, information and insight. If this revelation can help one person, one man or woman, avoid a similar fate, then the time and effort spent to reveal these truths is worth the effort.

Elderly Care System In Alabama Is Corrupt

The elderly care system in Alabama is corrupt. My mother apparently knew this which is why she practically starved herself to death rather than have to go into a nursing home in Alabama.

The nursing homes in Alabama are underfunded. In fact, they are so under funded that how they survive is to use any means necessary to secure the wealth and property of anyone who is so misfortunate to as to fall into their trap. They are like a spider's web and if you should be so unfortunate as to fall into one of these traps, they will suck you dry for all they can get.

Why do I say this? What gave me this impression? When my mother had a stroke on Aug. 28, 2003 she had to be hospitalized. She had let herself become malnourished and had a number of other medical problems. After her health improved her doctor recommended that she would need additional care and that I admit her to a nursing home, given she had given me a Durable Power of Attorney way back in 1995. So I followed the doctor's recommendation and admitted my mother to a Montgomery nursing home.

I had a chance to inspect and review only two area nursing home. There was not much difference between these two facilities so without mentioning any names, let me just say I chose the KING DING DONG nursing home. I'm calling it KING DING DONG nursing home because it is so noisy with alarms going off at odd hours twenty-four hours a day. That place is so noisy its a wonder all the tenants don't go deaf. Well, in fact, one of my mother's roommates was practically deaf which makes me wonder how long she has been at KING DING DONG.

After a time I had the opportunity to research and visit other nursing homes in Montgomery, Alabama. I decided that I wanted to have my mother transferred to Tyson Rehab Center and be placed under the care of a geriatrics specialist. I spoke at length with the staff at Tyson and after being convinced that it was a better facility, decided to have my mother transferred there and told KING DING DONG to please make all the necessary arrangements to transfer my mother. This was on Nov. 17, 2003.


Within 12 hours I got notice from KING DING DONG that they were not going to transfer my mother and asked the Court to intervene and tell them what to do. There was absolutely no valid reason for this petition to be made. My mother certainly would not get any worsecare at Tyson which in my estimate was a much better facility. It had a much better physical therapy unit which my mother could benefit from. And she would be under the care of a geriatrics specialist. I was told that my mother's doctor at KING DING DONG doped up all his patients which is why they looked and acted like zombies. They did this claiming the patients were depressed and needed the medication for their depression. Actually this was done because the environment they were placed in was so noisy, with small concrete block rooms, that this caused depression. My mother was not on any medication for depression before she went into KING DING DONG!

Hence the motive of KING DING DONG in this regard was to keep my mother doped up so she could not think clearly and so they could retain power and control over her to milk her for her benefits. My mother had already signed directives stating that she did not want to remain in a nursing home more than 60 days. And the legal team at KING DING DONG had already said she was mentally competent to make her own decisions. So the action by KING DING DONG to have the Court intervene before I could have her transferred was hardly a neutral position as they claimed. It was motivated by simple greed. They knew my mother's health care was covered for life so they wanted to keep her at KING DING DONG until the day she dies.

Thus KING DING DONG broke the agreement they had with me that my mother was admitted to their facility on a temporary bases. Also the doctor assigned to care for my mother never consulted with me despite repeated requests that I be permitted to meet with him as had been the plan when my mother was admitted. Why was not this done? I'm not one-hundred percent sure. However I did discover that other lawyers had become involved and that my mother was coerced to revoke the Durable Power of Attorney she had assigned to me. Of course no one told me about this at the time. I did not find this out until I had become so frustrated with the situation of not being able to consult with my mother's doctor, that I arranged for a private physician. When I was told that I no longer had control over my mother's medical care, I was quite shocked! A social worker told me this when I went to make arrangements for my mother to see a private doctor.

Well, after this discovery I immediately went to see an attorney. Then a new Durable Power of Attorney was signed by my mother along with a new Health Care Proxy and Health Care Directives. Thus I was able to restore the rights my mother had assigned to me. I was able to get her to see a private physician, someone I knew and had confidence in. He referred my mother to a neurologist and as I've already mentioned, on Nov. 19, 2003 she was diagnosed to have early signs of dementia. This was two days after the administrators at KING DING DONG had asked the Court to intervene to prevent a transfer.

What then happened was absolutely astonishing. My eldest brother, Carl Gregory Lynch (Greg), came to my home with his daughter, Sharon L. Crenson (Sharon), and while me and my brother, Lawrence C. Lynch (Larry), were getting into my van to go see an attorney, they abducted and kidnapped Larry. This was done by force. Sharon came up to the van and grabbed Larry pulling and tugging at him to keep him from getting into the van which I had opened from the drivers side, given the van has electric locks. When I saw Sharon pulling at Larry I ran around to the other side of the car. Greg was in a rental car parked and sitting in the driver's seat waiting for Sharon to get Larry over to the escape vehicle. They had obviously planned this abduction and kidnapping very carefully.

In fact earlier in the morning Sharon had called and wanted to know if I could meet with her and Greg at Tyson. I told her that we could not as we were going to see our attorney. I had already retained an attorney to represent Larry and I with respect to a hearing with regard to who would be my mother's guardian and conservator. This hearing was scheduled for Nov. 24, 2003 at 8:30 A.M.

Greg and Sharon were able to abduct and kidnap Larry despite my efforts to stop them by using a knife to disable their vehicle. Larry resisted but with both Greg and Sharon dragging and pulling him to the car, Larry had to do what they forced him to do. Greg had jumped out of the rental vehicle and come over to the van as soon as he saw me trying to help Larry. Sharon had pushed closed the van door locking it. I could not get the door open without a key. So when Greg came over and grabbed me I twisted around, pulled free and ran away toward the rental vehicle that was parked in the road. Then I disabled the car by flattening three of the tires. Before I could get the forth tire, Sharon and Greg had gotten Larry inside the car and Greg had come around to the driver's side where I was just getting ready to flatten the forth tire. When I looked up and saw Greg rapidly approaching me I hollered, "Stay away!" closed my knife, put it in my pocket and ran in the opposite direction. There was no way I wanted to get involved in a fight with Greg, given I was armed and did not wish to hurt him. After all, despite his hostility he was my brother.

Greg jumped into the rental vehicle and they speed away recklessly and were out of sight before I could get in my van to follow them. This kidnapping happened very rapidly and so alarmed me that my blood pressure went sky high. I ran to try to get back into the house to call police but found myself fumbling with the keys, given the door has a double lock and dead bolt. Recalling that the cell phone was in the van, I ran back over to the van, got in and called the police. While talking to the police I drove down the road trying to find out where Greg and Sharon were. I figured they would not get far with three flattened tires. However the police told me to return home, that they would find them.

As soon as I got back home I called my lawyer and related to him what had happened. Then a policeman arrived and I told him what happened. Shortly the police told me that they had found Greg and Sharon. I thought they would return Larry immediately and certainly arrest Greg and Sharon. But this did not happened. I guess Sharon and Greg lied about events, which was later verified to me in Court by testimony that Greg would give.

After the police left I went down to the police station. There was a long line and I was told it would be hours before I could speak to anyone to file a report, but that I could bring a written, notarized statement to file at anytime, as they were opened 24 hours a day. So I returned home, wrote up a report, called a private Notary Public, went over to her house and had the document notarized, then went back down to the police station and filed the report of Larry's kidnapping.

While at the police station I learned that Greg had already been there and filed his own report. So there were now on record two versions of what had happened. But what was to happen the next day was even more astonishing.

On Friday, Nov. 21, I went to the police station to press charges against Greg and Sharon. However, while there Greg showed up with his attorney, Ms. Kathryn Dickey. I thought it was really a coincidence they should come down to the police station again at the same time I was there. So when they appeared upon the scene I quietly exited and went to find my lawyer, Mr. James M. Smith. Once at his office I learned he was out on another case. I waited but he never got back so I decided to go home. While driving home I was worried about what Greg and his lawyer had up their sleeves. I figured they were probably going to try to have me arrested. So I got my dog, boarded him and went back home to wait for the police.

Of course it occurred to me that I could just leave town for a few days. That would have been simple enough to do. But then if a warrant were signed for my arrest the police would be out looking for me. I didn't like that prospect, plus I needed to keep looking for Larry. I had no idea where Larry was. And Larry needed his medicine. Larry was on medication that he needs to stay alive and when he was abducted and kidnapped, Greg and Sharon did not take his medicine. So I decided to go home and keep trying to get hold of my attorney. After all, I had not done anything. Greg and Sharon were the ones who kidnapped Larry.

Then late in the middle of the night there was loud knocking at the front door. It was the police and they had a warrant. Greg and his attorney had filed a fraudulent claim that I was crazy! When I heard this I could not believe my own ears! What preposterous lies! I told the police this but they just carry out the law. So they handcuffed me, my arms behind my back, put me in a police car and drove me to Baptist Hospital South where I was admitted to the emergency room.

Keep in mind this all happened in the middle of the night. I was not rested and very tired. Yet I had to submit to a series of examinations including X-rays, despite the fact that I told everyone there was nothing wrong with me and my dear brother, Greg, was just doing this so he could get away with Larry who he had abducted and kidnapped. I was also forced to sign a whole series of forms. I told the attendants that I did not want to sign anything but the urged me to sign everything so they could get their work done faster and that they could get me processed for admission to Meadhaven.

Meadhaven is the local nut house. It is where they take all the crazy people from around Montgomery so that they can be evaluated to see if they need to be institutionalized. Given I arrived at Meadhaven in the middle of the night (I think it was well after midnight by the time I got there), it was already early Saturday morning. So I found out that I'd be at Meadhaven the entire weekend. In fact I did not get out of that nut house until Tuesday, Nov. 25th.

While at Meadhaven I started keeping a journal. I wanted to document everything that happened to me at that place. It is an interesting story. I'd seen plenty of movies about nut houses but had never been inside one before. Meadhaven is not someplace you want to spend the weekend. It is a lock down facility with people on watch 27/7. Your every movement and action is under scrutiny. After all there are people there who really are probably quite nuts and may try to kill themselves.

I was not in the 24 hours before I had to request a room change because the hostile person I roomed with threatened me bodily harm. I guess I looked at him the wrong way or something. Another older gentleman, in his 70's I'd estimate was walking around looking for his sanity. He told me he was insane and had lost his sanity. He wanted to know if I knew where it was. So I swooped my hands like I was catching a fly, and grabbed at the thin air, just as if to catch a fly. I closed my hands together and then said to the old man, "Got it!" and gave him what I had caught. He knew well what it was. Then I said, "Try not to let it get away again," and he smiled at me. So my first day in Meadhaven I returned one old gentleman's sanity. Then I thought, maybe I was here for a reason. Maybe there was something I might learn from this experience. So I resolved to enjoy my stay at Meadhaven and see if there was anything else I might do to help bring a smile to the face of those too unfortunate to know what was going on or how to escape the madness that might have a hold upon their lives or minds.

On the second day at Meadhaven I encountered a very lovely black girl. She had an Afro about the size of a pumpkin. I thought those had gone out of style years ago. Guess not as here was this beautiful girl in Meadhaven with an Afro. So I'll just call her AFRO.

Afro had a problem. She came over and started talking to me about her problem while I was on the telephone. She said she needed to call her boyfriend and then started telling me about how mean he was to her and how she could not forgive him or herself. We talked for a bit and then I told her she really did not have to worry about anything, that God had already forgiven her and her boyfriend, that because God had given his forgiveness already she had no reason to feel guilty, depressed or confused.

Well, after I said this a light came into Afro's face. Her eyes beamed brightly and she smiled. It was as if she had never heard such words before and that I had conveyed to her the truth that she needed to hear to be set free from her mental anguish.

So on my second day at Meadhaven I cured another of their patients, at least for a moment. I don't know if the old man will lose his sanity again or if Afro will ever get back together with her boyfriend or find someone who can love her and be a better influence upon her life. But it occurs to me that if people everywhere treated people better, with decency, respect, dignity and honor, there would be fewer wackos in the world. In other words, love is the answer. If people could just get along and love each other this would solve most, if not all, problems.

Perhaps that is a very naive idea. Others have said this before. Was not teaching love the primary message of Jesus Christ? Is not loving thy neighbor the solution to many of society's problems. In fact, while at Meadheaven I did some Bible reading and some soul searching. I read the passage about the eleventh commandment, about how loving thy neighbor is God's eleventh commandment, also known as Christ's New Commandment. This is written in John 13:34-35 which says:

34 -- "A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."

35 -- "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye also love one another."

Certainly this is truth and wisdom. Love is the solution for many of society's problems. If people just love each other they will be able to come together, to share, to help each other, to solve problems which effect them and others around them. Love is the key to salvation, salvation being the freedom from all the problems which arise when people exist in a state of friction, disharmony, intolerance and war. To have enemies means one exists in a state where there can never be peace and not having peace means no tranquility, no love. So to have peace we must have love.

I believed this long before going to Meadhaven. When I was seven years old I asked my mother, "What is God," and she replied wisely, "God is love." So in honor of my mother I am producing and publishing this blog on the Internet as my way of saying, "Yes, Mom, God is love. Now all we have to do is teach this to everyone else!"

Thus I present this narrative to help teach and educate those who will listen and read what I have to say. As we go through life we are faced with many struggles and challenges. If we approach those struggles and perceive them as challenges, joining hands and hearts with our neighbors, loving them, then we will be able to overcome any obstacle, any challenge.

Well, I did my stint at Meadhaven. I was released after a Court hearing in which my dear brother, Greg, tried his best to have me locked away. He transported Larry out of the state of Alabama to Colorado while I was in Meadhaven. Then Larry's trust fund was raided and all the income taken away. The lawyers who were appointed guardians and conservators for my mother participated in this robbery. You see, Larry has mental retardation and my mother established his trust fund so the money that she and he receive from the government would always be there, that this would be administered by me, should my mother ever be incapacitated.

Ah, but the Court in its infinite wisdom ruled this should not be. Certainly they know better than my mother, what is best for her. Thus my mother is now a ward of the great state of Alabama. And I am being sued by these Court appointed guardians in my mother's own name. What hog wash! Who do these lawyers think they are to turn a mother against a son in this way! They are the ones who need to be in Meadhaven and to be institutionalized. Let's see if they can pass the same evaluation I passed. Let's see if these lawyers are sane or insane.

Quite frankly I don't need to know if these lawyers are sane; their actions are motivated by greed. Greed is a form of insanity in some people. So call it greed or call it insanity, these lawyers are money mad. They want what once use to be my mother's property which she gave to me. But I'm not voluntarily giving them one red cent. As far as I'm concerned they are thieves, conspiring with my eldest brother or through his plan and design, as Greg has a personal vendetta to destroy my life. This is not something I've dreamt up or imagined. He told me this to my face. His exact words were, "I'm going to destroy your life! It is never going to be the same any more!" He said this in front of my mother during the first week or April 2002 after having placed a dumpster in our drive way and proceeded to remove and destroy property. Some brother I have. With a brother like this, who needs enemies.

Family Crisis Inspires Online Civil Disobedience

One of the consequences of my mother's dementia is that the Court declared my mother a ward of the State. The Court appointed a guardian and conservator for my mother. Now these lawyers are suing me! This is not something my mother in her right mind would have ever endorsed, recommended or in any way whatsoever condoned. It is outrageous and being done not in the best interest of my mother, but only so those involved may benefit. Basically these lawyers want money!

The nursing homes and elderly care system in the state of Alabama is ranked among the lowest in the nation. They want to keep my mother locked up against her will so they can get money from her through her benefits. The lawyers want to get money by running up the cost of litigation so they can bill her estate, even though she gave me all her personal and real property.

Because of the outrageous action of these money hungry, selfish, self centered lawyers, I am therefore making an online protest, an act of civil disobedience.

If you want to help and lend your support please review my civil disobedience site which I have made in honor of my mother at:

For My Mother

Thank you for your time. If this matter and related issues regarding how the state takes away the rights of the elderly interests you, please make a comment. Thanks!

A Family In Crisis: Dementia, A Disease, A Monster, A Meme!

Welcome to my blog! The purpose of this presentation is to help families in crisis, those who have a family member who has dementia.

Dementia is a terrible disease. It is a monster, a meme. I say this as dementia effects not only the elderly parent or grandparent who develops this disease, but every family member.

To understand what I mean when I say dementia is a "meme" please read the article at:

Dementia: A monster and a meme

which deals with this matter and gives a good review of the case in point. You will also get a good review of my family and learn a bit about me, my mother, brother and other relatives. Also I have links posted to some of my other sites for your enjoyment.
