Georgia Is Busted For Using The Stealin' Children, Land & Vote Transposable Model

Georgia has a long and illustrious history of stealin' the children, land & vote.

Just ask Stacey Abrams.

I looked for the audit, but, believe it or not, I could not find it, or it was not yet posted.

I bet Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and her possible running mate knows a thing or two about campaigning through child welfare.

Anyway, enjoy learning more about those gerrymandering transposable models from Eric Smith.

GBI opens probe of Fulton DA Paul Howard over use of nonprofit funds

The GBI has opened an investigation of Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard and his use of a nonprofit to funnel at least $140,000 in city of Atlanta funds to supplement his salary, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News have learned.

The criminal investigation comes at a time when Howard, Fulton’s DA since 1997, is being challenged in the Democratic primary for reelection and is facing allegations of sexual harassment, which he strongly denies.

In a statement issued Monday, Howard predicted he will be cleared of any wrongdoing.

“This is not the first time what would be considered as an administrative matter for other Georgia elected officials is turned over to the GBI for investigation when it involves the Fulton County district attorney,” he said.

This was in reference to the agency’s 2014 investigation of Howard’s use of money forfeited by criminals to pay for galas and dinners for his staff and their families.In that GBI probe, prompted by media reports, “I was totally exonerated,” Howard said.

As for the ongoing investigation, he said, “(I)f the facts are followed, it is my expectation that the result will be exactly the same.”

Howard said the timing of this investigation, weeks away from the June 9 primary, “is not lost on me.”

Howard is also facing a state ethics complaint for not disclosing he was a chief executive of the nonprofit, People Partnering for Progress, in personal financial statements.

On April 15, the Georgia Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission charged Howard with a dozen disclosure violations, most of them involving PPP.The GBI probe and the ethics complaint followed a report by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News about discrepancies between financial disclosures Howard filed with the state and tax filings submitted to the IRS by the nonprofit he heads as CEO.

This week, GBI agents were scheduled to visit Atlanta tax attorney Raymond Carpenter to review PPP’s records, Carpenter said.

For years, Carpenter, a longtime friend of Howard’s, has served as the nonprofit’s chief financial officer.The GBI was asked by the state Attorney General’s Office to conduct the investigation of Howard, agency spokeswoman Nelly Miles said.

“At this point, that’s all we can say.”Katie Byrd, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Chris Carr, confirmed that was the case but declined further comment.Former DeKalb District Attorney Bob Wilson said he finds the investigation troubling.

“When you become the controversy, there’s a problem,” said Wilson, now a private attorney in Decatur. “I think a criminal investigation of a district attorney — that is a very sad state of affairs.”

A criminal probe of the prosecutor who heads Georgia’s largest and busiest district attorney’s office is highly unusual.

But so was Howard’s decision to use PPP as a conduit to pad his salary by at least $170,000 from 2014 through 2017, according to tax records and the nonprofit’s own documents. (Howard’s annual salary, paid by the state and supplemented by the county, is roughly $175,000.)

Howard initially sought an $81,259 salary supplement from the city of Atlanta in a May 2014 letter he sent to then-Mayor Kasim Reed.

At that time, Howard wrote, nine other DAs around the state were earning more than he was.

Howard did not get that annual supplement, but the city did present him with $125,000 checks in each of the next two years.

In a previous statement, Howard said Reed tied the money to Howard’s efforts to address repeat criminal offenders and expand his community prosecutors’ program.

When contacted Monday, Reed said he had no comment.It’s unclear whether the city knew how much of the $250,000 would go to Howard because he paid himself differing amounts from year to year.

In 2015, he took in $50,000, then $20,000 in 2016 and $70,000 in 2017, the nonprofit’s tax filings show.PPP’s most recent tax filing in 2018 did not disclose whether Howard received additional funds.

Nonprofits do not have to provide detailed financial information for a year in which they collect less than $50,000 in contributions, which was the case for PPP that year.

On April 13, the AJC and Channel 2 filed an Open Records Act request with the city to determine how the funds were transferred to Howard and for documents relating to it.

But City Hall, shut down because of the pandemic, has yet to produce the records.In a statement issued last month, Howard said he deposited the city’s checks into the nonprofit’s account and then received checks to supplement his salary.

The arrangement is open to question because state law says only counties can supplement a district attorney’s state pay.

In his statement, Howard said he tasked one of his former appellate attorneys to determine whether he could receive supplements from the city.

He also provided a memo in which the attorney said there was no law prohibiting it.

But the July 2014 memo did not address the legality of Howard using a nonprofit to funnel city funds as a way to supplement his salary. PPP’s records say the nonprofit’s mission has been to reduce youth violence.In his prior statement, Howard said the money he received from the city through PPP “represents reasonable compensation.”

He also said that PPP’s involvement, through his supervision, in his office’s community prosecution program has been meaningful and had a positive impact.

Howard has been named in two sexual harassment complaints filed by county employees and another alleging gender discrimination.

During a recent virtual pre-election forum, his two opponents, former Fulton chief deputy DA Fani Willis and Atlanta lawyer Christian Wise Smith, criticized Howard for the harassment allegations.

Wilson, DeKalb’s DA from 1981 to 1992, said he chaired and worked with child advocacy and rape crisis center nonprofits while he was in office.

If a nonprofit can help victims of crime, it’s appropriate for a district attorney to be involved, he said.

 At the same time, he added, “You would not undertake that with any idea of ever being paid.”Wilson said he never asked for a raise while he was district attorney.

“You know what the job is,” he said. “You know what it pays, and if that’s not good enough for you and your family then seek other employment.”

SCOTUS: The Very Third Live Broadcast Of The Very First Time The World Witnesses The Dark Residuals Of The Peculiar Institution On Stealin' The Children, Land & Vote - Termination Of Corporate Parental Rights - Oaths Of Fealty To Foreign Nations, Not The U.S.

I shall quickly give my summation, in the spirit of fuchsia.

MCGIRT V. OKLAHOMA;
OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE V. MORRISSEY-BERRU ST. JAMES SCHOOL V. BIEL
Consolidated.

This is about Parental Rights.

These people are arguing about pastoral care, you know, those folks on that salvific mission of stealin' the children, land & votes, by taking an oath of fealty to the church, and not the U.S., which means they are beholden to the Vatican, and must do whatever the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops tells them to do, because they run the public policy of their congregations.

Now, allow me to make these arguments so much easier to resolve.

Ok.

First of all, these christian organizations are not for profit office holders, under state laws of incorporation, by which the corporation holds an office to protect the public trust, or rather the posterity of society through children's trust funds.

In order to administratively go after a public, or in this instance, private office holder, where their oath of office, under the laws of the state, as a federalistic arm of the U.S. government, one must first be defrocked, as matters of belief, or, in this instance, religious beliefs, can only be adjudicate in the administrative court of the foreign jurisdiction by which an employee has sworn this oath of fealty to christianity, and not the constitution.

This is when the corporate parents who are the office holders of the children's trust, fall from the heavens to be brought forth in the public square to face the laws of the land.

The easiest way is to terminate the right to the grant to keep and bear the arms of the state to conduct business.

If you are not recognized as being an entity of commerce, for and not for profit, you cannot keep your federal grants because you are a nullified entity, as your 501c status is now illegitimate.

How do you solve those pesky indemnification issues of holding a title when it comes to the determination of ministerial activities in the schools?

Well, the last time I checked, teachers, social workers, pediatricians are licensed, but in charter christian schools, many are not, so how about making them get licensed by the state, so they can hold a public title, where their oath of office is filed in the Great Repository of the State, considering that they get public money to conduct child welfare operations.

That way, you can make the parent corporation, whether it is the fake ass contractual representative arm of the Vatican, USCCB, or any other principality in its chain of command, to also be nullified, because it is all corrupt.

Just like with all elected offices, anyone can easily ask, "By why right do you have to hold office?"

That is call the quo warranto.

You do not have to go through the writ process, all you have to do is file up on their state licensing to engage in commerce.

Commerce is the meeting of the minds in conjugal act of offer and consent,in contract, for this particular situation.

Without consent, there is rule by fear, even though Noahide law will tell you that the ones in power rule the law, which is about the children.

No one cares about the children, because the entire subject falls under chain of Parental Rights, where corporations are salvaging their corporate rights to raise their goods children, in accordance to the Public Policy of their Corporate Parent, the Vatican.

The people have the power in a democracy.

If these people want to stand up, again, for the third time, and argue out why they should not be held accountable for trafficking tiny humans, well, by golly geeze, I am just going to have to intervene, because they just defended sexual abuse of children within the walls and practices of their foreign allegiance to the Vatican and the Queen, again....and the U.S. taxpayer funds it all.

TRANSLATION: IF YOU DO NOT TAKE AN OATH TO THE US, THEN TURN AROUND AND TAKE AN OATH TO A FOREIGN NATION STATE WHICH WISHES TO INVADE, YOU NEED TO HAVE ALL RIGHTS TO BEAR ARMS TERMINATED, IMMEDIATELY, BECAUSE YOU SUCK AND TRAFFIC TINY HUMANS.

SECONDARY TRANSLATION: IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE LEGAL GENIUSES DEFENDING THE PRACTICE OF TRAFFICKING TINY HUMANS AND PILFERING THEIR TRUST FUNDS, YOU NEED TO BE TERMINATED OF ALL RIGHTS TO BEAR ARMS OF THE STATES ON WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN CONFERRED THROUGH A SWORN OATH OF OFFICE, TO NOT BREACH THE CHILDREN'S TRUSTS, IN HITHERANCE, BEING STRIPPED OF ALL THAT ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE IMMUNITY.

Hey... wait a minute....

Attorney Client Privilege?

Why, that is Brett Kavanaugh!



For some odd reason, the 9th Circuit keeps popping back up.

Hmmmmm......

I will post the briefs and crappy transcripts because this is about the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), not RIFRA

SCOTUS: The Very Second Live Broadcast Of The Very First Time The World Witnesses The Dark Residuals Of The Peculiar Institution On Stealin' The Children, Land & Vote - Termination Of Corporate Parental Rights - Little Sister Of The Poor


The ministerial exception is not limited to the head of a religious congregation. The Court, however, does not adopt a rigid formula for deciding when an employee qualifies as a minister. Here, it is enough to conclude that the exception covers Perich, given all the circumstances of her employment. Hosanna-Tabor held her out as a minister, with a role distinct from that of most of its members. That title represented a significant degree of religious training followed by a formal process of commissioning. Perich also held herself out as a minister by, for example, accepting the formal call to religious service. And her job duties reflected a role in conveying the Church’s message and carrying out its mission: As a source of religious instruction, Perich played an important part in transmitting the Lutheran faith.

SCOTUS: The Very Second Live Broadcast Of The Very First Time The World Witnesses The Dark Residuals Of The Peculiar Institution On Stealin' The Children, Land & Vote - Termination Of Corporate Parental Rights - Little Sister Of The Poor

Little Sisters of the Poor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trafficking tiny humans.

Child trafficking.

Sex trafficking of kids.

This is about Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare.

Funneling federal money through children's trusts for human R&D. 



This is about Parental Rights.

Here comes Pennsylvania.


Blasphemous Propagandists!

This is about invading foreign lands for the purposes of stealin' the children, land & vote, in what under the legal doctrine of the residuals of the peculiar institution called gerrymandering, or, of those who need a more modern day human trafficking doctrine, forced migration of chattel, but all the "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) are doing a distractionary hovering over the APA.

Vile creatures.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-endless-war-on-the-little-sisters-of-the-poor-11588720068

Why are these people promulgating trafficking tiny humans?

Why?

I need someone to explain this to me.

No, I need these "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) to be defrocked.

Noel Fransico is arguing.

Noel has a vested interest in this case, so I really do not know why he has yet to disclose.

The transcription sucks.

Symbols - Symbols | 8
Corporate Parent Logos with lots of
registered trademarks all look alike.
Why are they using as the argument of children doing chores and an issue of fealty to a foreign nation, even though the logos of the corporations, even though they all look the same, but are not beholden to the right to bear the arms of the United States to be a subrecipient of Faith Based Funding, when it comes to handing out contraceptives to women and children who are being trafficked and babies snatched, sold, and used as lab rats in the name of the lord, through their Public Private Partnerships, which are nothing more than Ham Sandwiches, because they are not incorporated?

Unacceptable!

Clarence Thomas spoke, for the second time, where the first, in some decades, was in the previously, historic, live stream of trafficking tiny humans through USAID, where defense got their legal tail feathers all fluffed, becauase it was the first time in 10 years that the U.S. brought up the issue of sex trafficking women and children through their Public Private Partnerships which all use that similarly looking logo, all over the world.


So far, no one in media or any of the brilliant *investigative journalists* have dared to touch this.

Let me know when you find the first mention.

The Court at one point called the argument to give them back their money, or they will collapse and can no longer traffic tiny humans, by claiming they could no give out contraceptives to support such moral turpitudity as being forced to do the sexual chores of producing tiny human products so they can keep their operations of running biogenetic, psychological, educational, and socieconomic target populations lab rat experiments in "The Third World", because you do not have to deal with any challenge to the acquisition of goods under chattel law, when on that salvific evangelic mission, in the name of the tax exempt foreign king, to save the souls of the savages, as being moot.

The case was called Hobby Lobby.

Defense lawyer dude claimed that because the insurance provider for the Little Sisters of the Poor, the parent, foreign, corporation, said they did not have to follow the laws of the U.S., and, as such, came up with the brilliant idea to animate the fictitious person called a corporation, and acknowledge on the record in a ruling, that corporations now have belief systems, and can claim all their entire existence on the fealty to a foreign nation, only connected through the children's trust funds, the offspring of the Public Private Partnership between the Vatican and the U.S.

So, basically, without any names being named, like Ascension Health, under the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, under the Vatican, which runs, and has run, for a millennium or so, the Little Sisters of the Poor just admitted in SCOTUS, that the problem lies with their parent corporation and the contractual understanding of, "when a country gives you money, you cannot keep it and, in the same breath, fund trafficking tiny human operations in the sex slave trade.

That seems Defense dude lawyer stated into the official record that Little Sisters of the Poor has an oath of fealty to the Vatican, and not the United States.

Defense lawyer dude was not in a happy place.

I guess that is why his arguments should be considered arbitrary and capricious, my most favorite Michigan Children's Institute Superintendent Section 45 Cotton Pickin' argument.

Looks like we are quickly moving up the food chain in the residuals of the peculiar 


Always remember, "there is no rule that does not have an exception", said the Court.

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
 Praise the lord.

God save the queen, the foreign Allodial Title Holder of the Corporate Parent of the Little Sister Of The Poor.


And, of course, Sam Brownback.

Lisa Bloom, Bill BarrLaura & George Bush, and Pat Cipallone, too!

And that, my dearies, is why Parental Rights to Bear the Arms of the U.S. shall be terminated, and they shall fall from the heavens to face the laws of the land, in the public square.

Survivors of Nigeria's 'baby factories' share their stories

Girls who fled Boko Haram attacks are being enslaved and raped by human traffickers who then sell their babies.

Women and children gather at the Madinatu IDP camp to listen to members of the Borno Community Coalition speak about the dangers of human trafficking [Philip Obaji Jr/Al Jazeera]
"Birth those babies. USAID & the their christians are in town."
As 16-year-old Miriam* stepped out of her tent to fetch water near the Madinatu Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Nigeria's northeastern Borno state in January last year, a middle-aged woman she knew as "Aunty Kiki" approached her.

She asked Miriam if she was interested in moving to the city of Enugu to work as a housemaid for a monthly salary. 

Miriam, who is now 17, wasted no time in accepting the offer and began to prepare for her trip to the east the following day.

She told her 17-year-old cousin, Roda*, about it and advised her to approach Aunty Kiki.

When Roda, who is now 18, met Aunty Kiki the next morning, she asked if there was a job for her, too. The woman quickly agreed, so Roda packed her bags.

"We were both very excited to travel to Enugu," Miriam says. "We had suffered so much for four years and were happy to go somewhere new to start a new life."

The promise
Both girls, who used to live in the same compound in Bama, fled the northeastern Nigerian town in 2017 when Boko Haram stormed the area, burning down houses and kidnapping women and children.

Miriam and Roda fled, leaving other members of their family behind. They do not know what happened to them. 

The two girls trekked for several days to reach Madinatu, where they remained for nearly two years before their trip to Enugu in southeastern Nigeria.

In Madinatu, Miriam and Roda lived together in a small bamboo tent inside the camp that houses more than 5,000 people who, like them, had fled Boko Haram.

Life was tough in the camp. Food was in short supply and IDPs had to beg on the streets of the nearby town to be able to get enough to eat.

So the girls jumped at the chance of paid jobs in Enugu. 

They did not have time to tell anyone they were going.

The journey
First, they travelled with Aunty Kiki to Maiduguri.

Then a 12-hour journey to Abuja followed. They spent the night there in the home of a woman who knew Aunty Kiki. 

The next day, after a nine-hour journey, they reached Enugu.

Aunty Kiki took them to a compound where she handed them over to an elderly woman she called "Mma" and told the girls to do whatever the woman asked of them.

"The compound had two flats of three bedrooms each, filled with young girls, some of them pregnant," says Miriam. "Aunty Kiki said it was where we'd be working."

At first, the girls thought their jobs were to clean the compound and do household chores as Aunty Kiki had led them to believe. Their new employers, however, had other ideas.

A daily torture
"Mma asked that we stay alone in separate rooms for that first night," Miriam explains. "We were surprised because the other girls in the compound were sharing rooms, some of which had four people in them."

Late that night, according to Miriam, a man walked into her room, ordered her to take off her clothes, held her hands tightly, and raped her.

The same thing happened to Roda, but her rapist was much more brutal.

"When I tried to scream, he covered my mouth and gave me a dirty slap," Roda says. "If he saw tears in my eyes, he slapped me even more."

The next day, the girls were moved to shared rooms with others, only being sent to single rooms when they were required to "work".

Both girls say they were raped almost daily by several different men. 

They believe that Mma and Aunty Kiki work together in the same trafficking cartel and that Mma is the leader of the group.

All they could make out for sure, however, was that the two women communicated with each other and the men in Igbo, the language spoken in southeastern Nigeria.

Giving birth
Within a month, they were both pregnant. But still, they were raped.

"It doesn't matter whether you are six weeks or six months pregnant," says Roda. "If any of the men wants you, you can't say no."

It was pointless trying to escape, they explain, because the compound was guarded by men with guns.

Around a dozen girls were living in the compound when Miriam and Roda first arrived. But the number would change as the girls gave birth and were sent away, before new girls were brought in to produce more children for the cartel.

Miriam gave birth to a baby boy in the compound, with the assistance of a midwife who was called in from outside. But her son was taken from her.

Three days later, she was blindfolded and taken to a bus station where her traffickers made sure she boarded a vehicle back to the north.

"They didn't want me to know the way to the compound, that's why they covered my face," she explains. "I was given 20,000 naira (about $55) to assist in my transportation to my destination."

She first went to Abuja where she spent a night on the street before boarding a commercial vehicle back to Maiduguri.

'Boys are more expensive'
Miriam does not know how much her baby was sold for.

"Some traffickers let their victims leave after giving birth because they believe if girls stay for too long, they could develop a plan to expose the trade," explains Abang Robert, public relations head of Caprecon Development and Peace Initiative, an NGO focused on rehabilitating victims of human trafficking in Nigeria. "They are scared of sabotage."

Baby factories are more common in the southeastern part of Nigeria, where security operatives have carried out several raids, including an operation last year when 19 pregnant girls and four children were rescued.

Women and girls are held captive to deliver babies who are then sold illegally to adoptive parents, forced into child labour, trafficked into prostitution or, as several reports suggest, ritually killed. 

"Boys are more expensive than girls in the baby sale business," says Comfort Agboko, head of the southeastern arm of Nigeria's anti-trafficking agency, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), at her office in Enugu.

"Male children are often sold for between 700,000 naira (about $2,000) to one million naira (about $2,700) while female babies are sold for between 500,000 naira (about $1,350) and 700,000 naira."

The majority of the buyers are couples who have been unable to conceive.

Although anyone caught buying, selling or otherwise dealing in the procurement of children can be prosecuted, the baby trade remains prevalent in Enugu.

'Orphanages'
In recent years, security officials have carried out several undercover operations targeting suspected baby trafficking cartels whose operations the Enugu state government said are aided by some security agencies and unscrupulous state officials.

To avoid suspicion in the local community, baby factories are often presented as orphanages, experts explain.

"Baby factory operators hide under the 'canopy' of orphanages," says Agboko. She believes people receiving babies from them either do not know or do not care that they are not really orphans.

NAPTIP has arrested and prosecuted a number of people involved in the sale of babies in the southeast in recent years, Agboko explains. There are currently around half a dozen cases going through the court system.

"We are now working in collaboration with the association of orphanage homes operators in the entire southeast to identify, arrest and prosecute such people," she adds.

There is no official data to show how many babies are bought and sold each year in Nigeria, nor the number of girls exploited by human traffickers.  The United Nations estimates, however, that "about 750,000 to one million persons are trafficked annually in Nigeria and that over 75 percent of those trafficked are trafficked across the states, 23 percent are trafficked within states, while 2 percent are trafficked outside the country."

Human trafficking 'widespread'
Like Miriam, Roda was also discarded after she gave birth to a boy.

The cousins were reunited in Madinatu, where they are now living together in a small mud house, not far from the camp they were trafficked from.

"Luckily, we got to Madinatu on the same day," says Miriam, who spent weeks on the streets of Abuja, before she was able to make her way back to the northeast. 

"We thought it was no longer safe to stay in the camp, so talked to the man who owns this place to let us stay here."

To earn money, the girls now make and sell groundnut cakes at a mini kiosk just outside their compound.

They were not the first to be trafficked from the Madinatu camp. There have been many reports of girls being trafficked from the camp to cities in Nigeria and to countries including Italy, Libya, Niger and Saudi Arabia. The victims are often promised good jobs only to end up being exploited or enslaved.

Although widespread in Madinatu, the problem of human trafficking is not peculiar to this area alone. It is common across the entire northeast region.

The 2019 United States Department of State Trafficking in Persons report revealed that: "Sexual exploitation, including sex trafficking of IDPs (internationally displaced persons) in camps, settlements, and host communities around Maiduguri remained a pervasive problem." The report also notes that some security officials are complicit in these activities.

NAPTIP says it is aware of high numbers of cases of human trafficking in Madinatu and is increasing efforts to address the issue in the IDP camp in particular.

"The office has now increased surveillance in the IDP camp," Mikita Ali, head of the NAPTIP office covering the northeast region, says. "We are working with camp managers and camp officials to whom we've given our toll-free numbers and told to call us if they suspect any case of human trafficking."

'Easy to exploit'
Inside the Madinatu camp, however, residents remain worried about the number of cases. Community leaders say the lack of adequate amenities like potable water facilities and cooking stoves means that people have to walk long distances in search of water and firewood, making them vulnerable to the human traffickers who prey on them. 

"If we had easy access to water and firewood, there'd be little talk of human trafficking," says Mohammed Lawan Tuba, a community leader in Madinatu. "Criminals take advantage of our children when they go out to find what they need to keep them and their families alive."

Human rights campaigners are running "sensitisation campaigns" which aim to educate displaced persons about the dangers of human trafficking and how to spot the signs of it inside the IDP camp. 

But Yusuf Chiroma, head of the Borno Community Coalition, a group of aid workers assisting survivors of the Boko Haram insurgency through skills acquisition programmes, says: "Displaced persons in Madinatu are really struggling to survive, as they are not getting enough food supply from the government and that is why it is easy for traffickers to exploit those who are desperate for jobs."

"Sensitisation programmes have to be matched with adequate security and availability of food and social services by the state government to effectively tackle human trafficking."

SCOTUS: The Very First Live Broadcast Of The Very First Time The World Witnesses The Dark Residuals Of The Peculiar Institution On Stealin' The Children, Land & Vote - Parental Rights

This is hearing is about USAID v. Alliance for Open Society International 

This hearing is about sex trafficking women and girls through U.S. Corporate Shape Shifting Public Private Partnerships which operate world wide, christian, organizations, but the arguments have not identified the entities, through HIV/AIDS programs.

This is about the Right To Bear Arms of the United States through the termination of Parental Rights to the Children's Trusts.

This is about gerrymandering, or, what I call, stealin' the children, land & vote.




In September 2005, AOSI sued the United States Agency for International Development and other U.S. Government agencies in response to the government extending an anti-prostitution pledge that was a component of HIV/AIDS policy during the George W. Bush administration to cover non-profit organizations based in the United States. The pledge required recipients of funding under the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act to state that they had a policy opposing prostitution and prohibited them from engaging in speech or activity the government deemed inconsistent with an anti-prostitution policy. The requirement covered recipient organizations as a whole, and therefore restricted speech or activity that took place outside the government-funded program and was paid for with entirely private funds.[3][4] As described by the online magazine Medical News Today:

At issue in the case is a requirement that public health groups receiving U.S. funds pledge their "opposition to prostitution" in order to continue their life-saving HIV prevention work. Under this "pledge requirement," recipients of U.S. funds are forced to censor even their privately funded speech regarding the most effective ways to engage high-risk groups in HIV prevention.[5]

Just prior to this case, the non-profit organization DKT International had brought a similar lawsuit, prevailing in District Court but losing on appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The February 2007 ruling was based on the assumption that the government would allow speech regarding prostitution through affiliate organizations that did not receive federal funding.[6]

With the backing of the American Civil Liberties Union, AOSI sued the United States Agency for International Development, the financial backers of its Central Asian drug rehabilitation programs. AOSI's initial co-plaintiffs were the Open Society Institute and Pathfinder International. They were joined later in the litigation by InterAction and the Global Health Council. Lawyers from the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law represented the plaintiffs.[3][5][7][8]

In May 2006, Judge Victor Marrero, a federal judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, issued a preliminary injunction barring the government from requiring AOSI and Pathfinder International to sign the anti-prostitution pledge.[3][5][7] The government appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. During the oral argument in the case, the government stated that it intended to issue regulations that would allow legally and physically separate affiliates of recipient organizations to engage in the prohibited speech.[3][7] The government issued guidelines to this effect in July 2007. In November 2007, the Court of Appeals returned the case for trial to the District Court for reconsideration in light of the new guidelines but left the injunction in place.[9]

In August 2008, the district court held that the new guidelines did not cure the constitutional problems with the requirement.[8] The government appealed again to the Second Circuit. While the appeal was pending, the government again revised the affiliate guidelines. In July 2011, the Second Circuit held that the requirement was unconstitutional and that the new affiliate guidelines did not cure the violation. The Supreme Court granted review in January 2013.[9]

In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Agency for International Development v. Alliance for Open Society International, Inc. that the requirement was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court explained that the requirement would "plainly violate the First Amendment" if “enacted as a direct regulation of speech,” and that the question in the case was whether the government could “nonetheless impose that requirement as a condition on the receipt of federal funds.” The Court noted that it had previously struck down “conditions that seek to leverage funding to regulate speech outside the contours of the program itself.” The Court concluded that the requirement was just such a condition because it “compel[led] as a condition of federal funding the affirmation of a belief that by its nature cannot be confined within the scope of the Government program,” and therefore that the requirement violated the First Amendment.[10] The decision is significant for its holdings on the scope of the unconstitutional conditions doctrine, and it is likely to have continuing importance for evaluating the constitutionality of government attempts to restrict speech by recipients of government funding.

The NGOs are actually arguing in defense of trafficking tiny humans under the First Amendment, in fealty, claiming Parental Rights as an organization.

James Warner Gets 10 Years For Swallowing A Napkin - Kwame Kilpatrick Revisited

I do enjoy preludes of justice.

Kwame Kilpatrick possesses a wealth of information, you know.

Oh, the tales he shall tell!

Ex-Detroit Metro official sentenced to 10 years for bribery

Defendant James Warner, a former field inspector at Detroit Metro Airport who is charged with taking bribes, leaves the Theodore Levin Federal Courthouse in downtown Detroit on May 21, 2019.Detroit — James Warner, a former Detroit Metropolitan Airport supervisor convicted of receiving more than $6 million in bribes — the third-largest amount in U.S. history — was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison Wednesday.

The sentence from U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts fell far short of the 25 years sought by prosecutors, and below the national record 28-year sentence for corruption. Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick received that record sentence seven years ago, tying the corruption sentence issued to Ohio county politician Jimmy Dimora.

Warner, 53, of Commerce Township was convicted of 10 crimes in June, including bribery, theft and money laundering conspiracies, and obstruction of justice. Prosecutors say he steered $43.7 million worth of airport contracts to three co-conspirators in return for more than $6 million in kickbacks — the highest total in the history of public corruption cases in Metro Detroit.

The judge said Warner has redeeming qualities — family and friends called him a good, supportive man — and said his crimes did not cause as much damage as those committed by Kilpatrick, whose racketeering activity included pocketing approximately $1 million in illegal benefits.

Kwame Kilpatrick, left, and Jimmy Dimora"Kwame Kilpatrick mightily contributed to the slide of Detroit both locally and nationally, contributed to (Detroit's) slide into bankruptcy and the city's tarnished image," the judge said.

"Mr. Warner, while a significantly corrupt public official, is not in the same position," Roberts added.

Warner, who hung his head at hearing the sentence, apologized to his friends, family and airport colleagues. He also apologized to the judge.

"I respect the system and the role everyone plays in it and I am hopeful the sentence allows me to find work in the future and to be there for my friends and family," he said.

The government has seized $11 million from Warner and co-conspirators during the years-long criminal investigation.

Warner's lawyer pushed for no more than a four-year sentence.

The money Warner received from airport contractors is the largest bribe total prosecuted in the history of the eastern district of Michigan.

Warner is among more than 109 public officials, bureaucrats and union leaders charged with public corruption in Metro Detroit in the past decade.

Jurors deliberated for about four hours last summer before reaching the verdict following a trial that lasted parts of three weeks. In a rare move, Warner testified in his own defense.

Warner is a dishonest and deceitful man whose time on the witness stand featured "perjury-laced testimony," Assistant U.S. Attorney Eaton Brown said.

"At the end of the day, Mr. Warner robbed citizens and taxpayers blind," Brown told the judge, "and he had no qualms doing it."

Warner, an airport manager and field inspector who also worked for West Bloomfield Township, is the rare indicted public official to stand trial on corruption charges and risk a decades-long federal prison sentence.

Two of the most recent politicians to stand trial in federal court —Kilpatrick and Clinton Township Trustee Dean Reynolds — were convicted and sentenced to double-digit prison sentences.

The bribery conspiracy outlined by prosecutors started in May 2010 when Warner was working as a field inspector at the airport approving maintenance and repair contracts. He headed several related schemes involving Metro Detroit contractors, including Romulus businessman William Pritula, whose company William Pritula & Sons held facilities and maintenance contracts at the airport, prosecutors said.

Warner drafted and submitted inflated invoices for work Pritula was hired to perform at the airport, according to the government. The payments totaled more than $18 million.

In return, Warner received approximately half of the profits from the contracts, or more than $5 million, according to the indictment.

Pritula pleaded guilty to bribery and was sentenced to probation. He agreed to forfeit $5.4 million to the government.

Federal court records describe Warner as a greedy, potty-mouthed felon.

"If it weren't for me, your ass would be out," Warner told one airport contractor, according to the indictment.

That contractor, authorities allege, was Gary Tenaglia of Rochester, who was accused of defrauding the Wayne County Airport Authority of $1.5 million. He was sentenced to 14 months in prison.

Warner allegedly gave Tenaglia inside information so the contractor's company, Envision Electric, could win contracts. In return, Warner received 10% of each invoice, prosecutors said.

At one dinner, Warner and Tenaglia discussed contracts and kickbacks, prosecutors said.

"During the meal, James Warner wrote '5k,' a proposed kickback amount, on a napkin," prosecutors wrote in the indictment. "He folded it and slid it across the table to Gary Tenaglia. After Gary Tenaglia acknowledged the meaning of the writing on the napkin, James Warner retrieved the napkin and ate it."

Hey, FBI & SIGTARP: Can Corporations Be Money Mules, Too?

Not just your bank account could be fueling crime, but also your church, your investment broker, your 401K, any and all public & state pensions, and of course, federal pensions.

In Detroit I like to call this creature of stealin' the children, land & votes, or rather the Detroit Land Bank Authority.

Either way, stop funding crime, particularly the foreign invasion of our great nation.

Praise the lord.

But, if humans can be money mules, is there a possibility foreign corporations, functioning under fake ass Public Private Partnerships, like the Detroit Land Bank Authority, can, also, be placed in such a similarly constructed class based animus, too?

I officially decided today to be "Pick on SIGTARP" day, because there was a fleeting moment in House Judiciary Impeachment Hearings - Day 2 - where the powers of the U.S. Treasury accidentally, slipped from the tongues of the members, but that moment was quickly remedied when Matt Gaetz dropped Hunter Biden's crackpipe.

So many artifices, so many machinations of gerrymandering...

Your Bank Account Could Be Fueling Crime
Money Muling Is Illegal and Helps Criminals

Like many Americans, Aaron Cole and his wife had been able to save up a nest egg through the rising value of their home. But after six years there and the births of their two children, the Oregon couple decided to sell and use the equity they had built up to purchase a slightly larger place.

After they had sold their current home, Aaron Cole received word that his title company would be in touch soon with the wire instructions for sending the down payment required to close on the new house. When an email arrived on December 4, 2018, from what appeared to be the title company, Aaron's wife went to the bank and sent $122,850 to the account number provided in the message.

A few days later, the title company called to tell Aaron Cole it was time to wire over the down payment. Was he ready for the account information?

It took the representative from the title company just moments to figure out what had happened: The Coles had been the victims of a business email compromise scam and had wired their money to a criminal who had spoofed the title company’s email address and sent them fake wire instructions.

The family’s savings was gone. Their down payment had been funneled into one account and then broken up and sent to four other banks. Within days, the money would be on its way out of the country and into the control of those who carried out the scheme.

The Cole family had already sold their existing home with a move out deadline of December 23. Now, they couldn’t complete the sale of their new house, had little left in savings, and in a few weeks would have nowhere to call home.

“I’m never at a loss for words,” said Aaron Cole. “When this happened, I couldn’t come up with the words to tell my wife.”

What happened to the Coles was due to the deliberate actions of the online criminals who compromised an email account to steal from them, but the criminals could not have carried out the scheme without the involvement of money mules.

The FBI defines a money mule as a person who transfers illegally acquired money on behalf of or at the direction of another person. Money mules often receive a commission for the service or provide assistance because they believe they have a trusting or romantic relationship with the individual who is asking for help moving money.

“Mules are laundering money for people who have done some major damage. Who’s losing the money? It’s average people. It’s small companies.”
Yaqub Prowell, special agent, FBI Portland
Money mules may or may not be aware of the role they are playing in a crime, but the actions they take do serious harm to people like the Coles and millions of other innocent victims of online scams and frauds.

The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received more than 20,000 complaints in 2018 from victims of business email compromise alone. These victims reported losses of more than $1.2 billion.

“Mules are laundering money for people who have done some major damage,” said FBI Special Agent Yaqub Prowell, who worked the Coles’ case through the FBI’s Portland Field Office. “Who’s losing the money? It’s average people. It’s small companies.”

Aaron Cole will be the first to tell you how devastating the loss was. “The equity in the house was our way to move forward,” he said of the theft. “I put myself back 15 years.”

In the Coles’ case, the title company generously helped the family cover their down payment in exchange for Aaron Cole’s help alerting others about business email compromise. The title company was seeing homeowners hit with this crime despite the warnings about fraud and account security they put on every document they send to clients.

Aaron Cole, like many people, skimmed right over those messages in the mass of paperwork that accompanies the process of buying and selling a home. Cole said, “I grew up with computers. I know not to click on anything suspicious. Nothing about this looked suspicious.”

The title company hopes that a human face and a very human story about what can happen will make more people aware of the crime and on guard against it.

Prowell, who spent days tracking the path the Coles’ money made from bank to bank, was successful in seizing some of the assets and saving about 30 percent of the funds the Coles lost. But those assets, because of the legal process involved, would not have made it back to the Coles fast enough to save their home. “The quickest forfeiture process I’ve seen has been about 12 months,” said Prowell.

He stressed that even though it was a good ending for the Cole family, the title company will absorb the rest of the losses. “This is a small title company,” Prowell said “But it was a small company with a heart.”

Prowell is also hopeful Aaron Cole’s story will raise awareness about business email compromise and the need to be vigilant about online security.

Cole said he used the same password for several email and social media accounts and hadn’t changed them for a while. The criminals could have been monitoring his accounts for years using a simple software that watches for keywords that may indicate money is about to move.

In addition to strong passwords and better awareness, Prowell says people should revert to old fashioned means of verification before sending money. “Go check in person,” he said. “Or pick up the phone and make a call.” 

But Prowell also wants those who act as money mules to understand the harm they are doing to others and the peril they are exposing themselves to. First and foremost, acting as a money mule is illegal. Those performing the function can face criminal prosecution, damage to their credit standing, and financial liability for the money they move.

Money Mule Awareness Booklet
People who agree to allow others to use their bank accounts or open new accounts for these purposes are also linking themselves to criminal organizations. One of the money muling groups involved in Aaron Cole’s case was part of a separate FBI investigation into financial and violent crimes. “These groups are not always just fraudsters,” Prowell said. “That particular group was also dangerous.” 

“If you send and receive money at someone else’s request—especially someone you’ve never met—you are likely helping criminals to steal from hardworking people, senior citizens, and small businesses,” said Supervisory Special Agent James Abbott of the FBI’s Money Laundering, Forfeiture, and Bank Fraud Unit.

During a recent eight-week campaign to combat money mules, the FBI partnered with other federal law enforcement agencies to interview more than 550 individuals. They served more than 500 warning letters on individuals who served as money mules for fraud schemes. The letters informed recipients that they could be prosecuted if they continue.

Additionally, more than 30 individuals were criminally charged, in part, for their roles in receiving victim payments and providing the fraud proceeds to accomplices. Abbott stressed that banks and law enforcement take note of unusual account activity: “Anyone who continues to participate in this type of activity should be prepared to hear from the FBI or our partners.”

Signs You May Be Acting as a Money Mule

  • You receive an unsolicited email or contact over social media promising easy money for little to no effort.
  • The “employer” you communicate with uses web-based email (such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or Outlook).
  • You are asked to open up a bank account in your own name or in the name of a company you form to receive and transfer money.
  • As an employee, you are asked to receive funds in your bank account and then “process funds” or “transfer funds” via a wire transfer, ACH, mail, or money service business (such as Western Union or MoneyGram).
  • You are allowed to keep a portion of the money you transfer.
  • Your duties have no specific job description.
  • Your online companion, whom you have never met in person, asks you to receive money and then forward the funds to an individual you do not know.
  • How to Protect Yourself
  • Do not accept any job offers that ask you to use your own bank account to transfer their money. A legitimate company will not ask you to do this.
  • Be wary when an employer asks you to form a company to open up a new bank account.
  • Never give your financial details to someone you don’t know and trust, especially if you met them online.
  • Be wary when job advertisements are poorly written with grammatical errors and spelling mistakes.
  • Be suspicious when the individual you met on a dating website wants to use your bank account for receiving and forwarding money.
  • Perform online searches to check the information from any solicitation emails and contacts.
  • Ask the employer, “Can you send a copy of the license/permit to conduct business in my county or state?”


How to Respond

  • If you have received solicitations of this type, do not respond to them and do not click on any links they contain. Inform your local police or the FBI.
  • If you believe that you are participating in a money mule scheme, stop transferring money immediately and notify your bank, the service you used to conduct the transaction, and law enforcement.

How to Protect Yourself Against Business Email Compromise
Improve account security: Create strong passphrases for all online accounts. Do not use the same passphrase for more than one account. Change passphrases frequently.

Verify email addresses: Carefully check the address of any message that contains a link, attachment, or instructions. Criminals will make small changes to email addresses to make them appear as if they have come from a trusted source.

Double check: Never make a purchase, send a payment, or make a financial transaction based on email instructions only. Follow up on such requests by checking in person if possible or making a phone call. Do not use the phone numbers provided in the email in question.
