Michigan Adoption Proceedings Benchbook And Its History of Neglect

Michigan has recently implemented a series of legislative initiatives to address the wave of young adults aging out the foster care system and the fact that these young adults have been severely traumatized, medically and educationally neglected facing a life of uncertainty.

What is going on is this.  It was in 1996 when the Personal Responsibility Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) was signed.  Social assistance programs were drastically cut to promote people entering educational studies or the workforce.  It worked, literally.  Jobs were abundant.  College tuition was affordable.  Money was flowing.  Opportunities for property ownership were available to individuals who never before dreamed they could own a home.  Prosperity was in the air.  It was the end of welfare as we knew it, for the moment.

Then one day reality hit.

When PRWORA was authorized, the funding of social assistance programs did not magically disappear and reappear in the pockets of taxpayers.  Welfare funding was shifted from the public to privatized corporations that were immune under federal law for any form of wrongdoing as they functioned under the magical spell of "the best interests of children".

Child Placing Agencies began to manage the disbursement of personal assistance through a maniacal scheme of revenue maximization.  Federal funding for child welfare programs are reimbursed for costs after the appropriated budget.  With a two year reporting delay, coupled with a neophyte informational technological grid, no one would ever think a non-profit, contracted by a state would ever engage in questionable activities.

These Child Placing Agencies began to launch massive child protection campaigns, all funded with the social assistance funding that was stripped from the social safety net to promote electoral campaigns and lobby aggressively for more legislation to create even more powerful policies to enrich the revenue maximization schemes.

PRWORA later joined forces with the Faith Based Initiatives and the perfect formula was derived for fraud.

As religious organizations and Child Placing Agencies are exempt and excluded from external audits and reviews, there was a newfound lust for removing children in need of social assistance to place in the privately contracted care of a state.  The longer the contract, the more the money.  The more the fictitious billing, the more the profit.  Even though non-profits are not suppose to profit, hiring expansion, lobbying and financial campaign endorsements justified the windfall.  It was at this point a massive wave of children entering foster care began.

Once the benchmarks were set, the pattern of removals had to be maintained in order to maintain the federal funding and justify the questionable billing practices of Medicaid.

Conditions in the foster care system were so horrific in Michigan, an outside advocacy group, even though I discussed the case with Children's Rights prior to their filing, I am personally saddened with the limited scope of litigation as it did not include the Michigan Children's Institute and its Superintendent, Bill Johnson, the sole legal guardian, at one point in time, more than 13,000 children.

Now these 13,000 who were not adopted are aging out to a life on the streets.

As Michigan severed all ties with the legacies of these young adults, at the age of 18 they are faced with walking out the door with a garbage bag of possessions to hopefully make it to a homeless shelter to experience severe withdraw of the cocktail of psychotropic medication that was only prescribed for the purposes of billing Medicaid.

Michigan, under the tutelage of Madame Maura Corrigan, Director of Department of Human Services and Former Supreme Court Justice who admiraled legislation from the bench, social assistance eligibility has been drastically slashed and redirected to Child Welfare Institutions.  This means the last hope of survival for these youth aging out of foster care has been ripped from their hands, like candy from a baby, literally.

For many of the aging out population, all they know is what their State of Michigan parents taught them.  There parents were Maura Corrigan and Bill Johnson.  They taught institutional reliance of welfare or prison because it sustained the jobs of the most powerful industry of Michigan, Human Services.

Not exclusive to Michigan, the rest of the States are experiencing the same challenges with aging out populations but Michigan, or moreso Detroit Metropolitan area is standing worse with unemployment over 50%, high illiteracy rates, foreclosures, crime, representing the highest levels of infant mortality in North America.  This area is where there were the highest rates of removal of children around PRWORA.  The area experienced injections of Faith Based funding with the crops of mega churches to legitimize the revenue maximization schemes of the Child Placing Agencies.

Aging out is becoming to be such a visible problem in public, Michigan is going to keep these young adults in care even longer.  The state cannot provide social assistance to these youth because it would mean the reweaving of the social safety net for everyone.

Michigan has bought some time but has done nothing to remedy the ills of its social policies or become accountable to abusing and neglecting children in its care.

Here are the legislative highlights:


Effective May 1, 2012, 2012 PA 115 amended MCL 712A.17d(1)
to expand a lawyer‐guardian ad litem’s duties to include
participating in training in early childhood, child, and
adolescent development.


On April 5, 2012, the SCAO issued SCAO Administrative
Memorandum 2012‐04 to help courts with the implementation
of the Young Adult Voluntary Foster Care Act and other
recently signed acts that extend adoption support subsidy
agreements and medical subsidy agreements to children who
were adopted between the ages of 16 and 18, and who meet the
eligibility requirements set out in the Young Adult Voluntary
Foster Care Act, MCL 400.641 et seq.


On April 5, 2012, the SCAO issued SCAO Administrative
Memorandum 2012‐04 to help courts with the implementation
of the Young Adult Voluntary Foster Care Act and other
recently signed acts that extend guardianship assistance to
children reaching 21 years of age if the child meets the
requirements set out in the Young Adult Voluntary Foster Care
Act, MCL 400.641 et seq.

Newt Gingrich, PRWORA, ASFA & The Christians - The U.S. History Of Trafficking Tiny Humans - Happy Child Abuse Propaganda Month

In honoring the history of trafficking tiny humans in the age of U.S. Foster Care & Adoption, we illuminate the work of Newt Gingrich, Bill & Hillary Clinton, and the christians in the launch of PRWORA & ASFA from 1994.

Happy Child Abuse Propaganda Month!

Are Orphanages Better for Kids than Welfare? - 1994

Resurgent Republicans in Congress under Newt Gingrich are breathing new life into an idea whose time most people thought had already come and gone.

They want to bring back orphanages and other forms of state-supervised residences to care for the illegitimate children of young women who would be cut from welfare rolls under their proposals.

In addition to evoking images of little Oliver Twist begging for another bowl of porridge, the initiative, a part of the Republicans' Personal Responsibility Act, has sent a shiver of apprehension through the community of child-care workers.

This is because the idea collides with the principal tenet that has guided their profession for nearly a century: that children are raised better in families, even imperfect or incomplete families, than in institutions.

Resort to orphanages, said one political scientist writing a book on the subject, is a return to the very institution whose failure led to the welfare system as it exists today.

Matthew Crenson, a Johns Hopkins political scientist, said the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program actually evolved from earlier measures devised as remedies for the ills visited upon thousands of children raised in orphanages.

The movement to reconstitute orphanages or other forms of supervised group-living outside the family has been growing for several years. It has been supported by conservative Republicans such as William J. Bennett, academics like Charles Murray (co-author of "The Bell Curve"), and more recently by Rep. Newt Gingrich, Republican of Georgia.

The nature and preoccupations of some of its other partisans, prominent criminologists James Q. Wilson and John J. DiIulio, suggest that though it is being touted as welfare reform, it is also seen as an anti-crime measure. Its partisans believe it would help reduce illegitimacy, which many people think stimulates crime.

Another partisan of the orphanage movement is Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation. Dr. Rector credited President Clinton for having spoken out about the problem of illegitimacy as a key cause of crime. But he faulted the president for failing to reform the system to reduce the national illegitimacy rate, now one out of every three births.

The Republican proposal in the House of Representatives, Dr. Rector believes, would do that by cutting off AFDC and housing assistance to young unmarried women for the care of their children. This, he said, would make having illegitimate children less attractive.

The main author of the GOP measure is Rep. James M. Talent of Missouri. He said the money withheld from the mothers -- both for housing and child support -- would go to the states. They would be encouraged to use it to create group homes, where several mothers and their children would live closely supervised lives.

Part of the federal money diverted to the states would finance the orphanages for the children of those mothers who did not want to keep them, or couldn't.

Child-care professionals argue strenuously against this. Said Earl Stuck, the director of residential care services of the Child Welfare League of America, a national children's lobby: "I don't see any connection between putting kids in orphanages and illegitimacy. Women don't get pregnant to get higher welfare payments."

And on the matter of costs, he said: "One of the things Gingrich talks of is warm, caring, loving orphanages. To produce that would be very costly [over $100 a day per child]. You will not save money if you start throwing kids into residential care unless you cut the costs [of running the institutions], and then we're talking about the Dickensian orphanages."

Currently, according to Mr. Stuck, about a half-million children are in "out of home care." About 400,000 are in foster homes, and the remaining 100,000, nearly all suffering from learning difficulties or behavioral problems, live temporarily in residential care facilities.

These are not orphanages, nor, Mr. Stuck said, are there many "dictionary definition orphans" -- that is, children with no parent at all -- in the United States. Accordingly, there are few actual orphanages left.

The orphanage had its heyday in America during the last century. Most were religious institutions, and among them most were affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. Protestant orphanages began to sharply increase in number during the latter part of the century. The two Christian sects competed to bring more and more children under their care.

Contemporaneously, according to Dr. Crenson, the foster home movement began to grow starting in the 1850s. It was seen as a remedy for the squalor found in many orphanages. It was also a response to what became an apparent syndrome displayed by children raised in them.

"They argued that these children became passive and dependent," said Dr. Crenson. "They described the syndrome as institutionalism."

In an effort to mediate the unhealthy Catholic-Protestant competition, President Theodore Roosevelt called a White House conference shortly before the end of his term in 1909. It produced an agreement between representatives of the two sects that any child who had a mother should be left with her, and she should be paid to take care of the child at home.

"What that did was to short-circuit all the religious controversy," said Dr. Crenson. "If you left the kid at home, religion became a non-issue."

Two years later, Illinois and Missouri (Representative Talent's state) created the mother's pension. It helped women keep their children instead of sending them to orphanages. It was seen as a more humane alternative, and a cheaper one.

This was the beginning of the now generally accepted belief that care within a family context, except for a small minority, is always preferable to an institution.

Today family preservation remains the central principle of the child-care profession. That principle has been undermined, but not turned over, by "a significant and steady rise in the number of cases of abuse" within families, owing to the increase in drug use, said Richard Small, director of the Walker School in Needham, Mass., which cares for disturbed young boys.

Following the laws enacted in Illinois and Missouri, "the idea spread like wildfire," said Dr. Crenson. "By 1920 some 40 states, including Maryland, had enacted similar legislation. Eventually, almost every state except a few in the South had mother's pensions."

Seventeen years later the mother's pension became the model for Aid to Families with Dependent Children, passed as part of the Social Security Act of 1935. By that time, orphanages were on their way to history's scrap heap.

Will they be coming back? That will depend on who is the more determined: those who want to see that, or those who want to them to remain an artifact of history.

So far wider reaction to the Republican proposal on AFDC has been slow to form. But not everywhere. Sen. Patty Murray, a Washington Democrat, said: "It frightens me that people think it has the possibility of passing. Our job now as the minority party is to clearly set out the fallacies of these proposals, and that's what I intend to do."

Rachel Kunzler, an aid to Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, Democrat of Maryland, quoted what she described as the senator's guiding principle with regard to welfare reform. It should not "be punitive against women and children. Reform policies shouldn't break up families."

Other Democratic opposition has manifested itself. David E. Bonior of Michigan, the House Democratic whip, came out strongly against the orphanage proposal.

Despite the disarray, and the shell-shocked state of many Democrats in Washington as a consequence of the recent elections, there are a few other indications the Republican initiative will be resisted.

"We will try to talk to as many people as possible and communicate with people in Washington and outside of Washington," said David Kass, a spokesman for the Children's Defense Fund in Washington, another national children's lobby. "The fundamental question we will be asking is, what is going to happen to those children?"

As for the Republicans themselves, there is evidence of a distinct lack of conformity on the question of orphanages. Margaret Camp, an aide to Sen. Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania, asked whether the same kind of zeal for orphanages shown by the incoming House leadership is evident in the Senate, said: "I've read the same things you have, and I guess that implies there's not."

Nor, she said, has anything been written by Senate Republicans similar to the House Republicans' Personal Responsibility Act.

Kent Weaver, a political scientist at the Brookings Institution who specializes in welfare issues, also said Senate Republicans are much less likely to be eager to bring back orphanages than their House counterparts. "I think they're going to be a little bit more worried about the median position of voters on this issue," he said. "Senate Republicans will worry about being perceived as unfair, the issue that constantly dogged the presidential administration of President Reagan."

Michigan Foster Care Rates And Age Out Lies

Effective October 2012, Michigan has published its foster care rates.  This is how much it pays a day for the keep of a child under the auspices of the state.  It's about $20 bucks.

Upon examination there seems to be a slight issue with the payment plan.

See, there is this new program, well, it has been around for a minute and it is called Supervised Independent Living (SIL).  SIL is a unique program being used for Youth In Transition (YIT) and is not required to be licensed as a child welfare program due to its federal funding source. For a more readily understanding it can be referred to as a temporary answer to the issue of what to do with foster care youth who were either never adopted and are aging out the system.

In Michigan, and just about every other state, there are no data on what happens to youth who age out of foster care.  Wayne State University did a study a while back which produce some not too surprising results.  In a nutshell about 70% of foster youth who age out the system find themselves institutionalized again within the first three years.  

Institutionalized means homeless, welfare recipients, pregnant, incarceration, etc.  This is not a very good track record for the state or its foster care system.  Unfortunately the situation is even worse.

Right around that magical era of the end of Personal Responsibility Work Opportunity Reauthoriation Act (PRWORA) there was an anamolous event: a signifiant spike, an upward trend in the number of Child Protective Services cases.  Oddly enough there was a parallel trend in the federal funding of foster care while there was a converse trend in social assistance program funding.

Simply put, the States began to remove large amounts of children from certain zip codes with high concentrations of poverty.  Neighborhoods became baron to the sound of children playing in the street for fear of removal.  Grand Rapids is a good example.

I shall assume, from the apparent lack of obviation, that Michigan did not think very far on what would happen with the kids who end up never getting adopted out or going back home.  One reason why many of these kids were never placed out was because of what happened to them in the foster care system.  Let's briefly examine:

Mental health is poorly addressed.  Education in foster care virtually does not exist.  Then, foster youth have the tales of the other side to let them know they face a life of homelessness, prostitution, drugs once they age out.  Michigan had to do something so it came up with SIL.

Starting around the age of 16, Michigan will pay the absolute minimum to provide a youth a bed and a meal.  In return, the provider, according to the brochures, supervises.  What "supervises" means is a mystery.  What is expected is for the direct service provider to do the work of the agency and state workers.

SIL is not foster care and does not require a foster care license yet it applies foster care polices to its program.  Better yet, Michigan policy denotes that it cannot use foster care funding to fund SIL.  What is happening is that Michigan is jacking up a good thing because the state refuses to clean house of its moronic administrators, including the cover ups of Maura Corrigan.

I will be reporting more on the SIL program as I investigate its operations in Michigan.  Until then, ask yourself this question:  Would you take in a wild teenager, who no one wanted to adopt, who has a mental health record you know the workers will never share with you and who has a poor educational track record which is incomplete and fraudulently generated to make it look like the youth in on track for high school graduation, if you are lucky enough to be told about it, who has seen and experienced more trauma while in foster care than most will in a lifetime, who is probably using street drugs and drinking with possible violent and abnormal sexual tendencies, with a baby in another placement, while you, the direct service provider, never being allowed to leave your own home because the state is holding you under foster care standards without even telling you?  

Michigan SIL program pays a direct service provider less than $0.88 an hour to be locked in their home 24 hours a day to "supervise" a ward of the state under the stringent polices of an entirely different program called foster care.

It very clearly states that Title IV-E funds are not to be used for Independent Living or Supervised Living yet Michigan does it anyway.  That's right, Michigan uses foster care policy in SIL programs because the state is still trying to cover up how it neglected the kids in its own care.

So the next time you see a cute advertisement for being a foster parent for an older child, you just remember that it is a lie and it is called SIL.

And that ends another chapter of child welfare fraud in Michigan.

Michigan Foster Care Rates 10-12-2012
I will be submitting my own SIL program and policy to the state because Michigan will not get rid of its idiot administrators who continue to screw these kids over.

Clinton Foundation and Its Child Welfare Issues With Norway and Australia

This entire Clinton Foundation investigation is about Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare.

Period.

Here, we have Norway and Australia pulling out of its contribution agreements with the Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) by and through its child welfare programs.

Norway Slashes Clinton Foundation Donations By 87% As Political Clout Dries Up

Australia Cuts Clinton Foundation Donations To $0

The money to contribute to the Clinton Foundation originated in the generation of false claims and manipulation of the public record through political campaign activities to ensure its child welfare schemes continued, exempt and excluded from public scrutiny, fraudulently maximized revenue by billing the taxpayers, in the best interests of the child.

These nations would, in turn, enter memorandum of understandings to implement these same child welfare schemes in economically emerging nations to further generate, leverage and hedge in their so-called regime change schemes.

  

This is the new form of public record, the internet, including Wikileaks.

The Library of Congress has been so slow and far behind, with an extremely out-dated and completely political Copyright Office because electronic communications have never been even addressed, hence, the Gmail situation.

NSA is in possess of all this information, and it is my belief that it is the one who has been pushing the proverbial envelope on testing the boundaries of ethical governance and the technological issues dealing with oversight of data.

Quintessentially, the question is, "Who is the recordkeeper."

On the issue of child welfare, Legally Kidnapped is the recordkeeper because no one else will do it, so this is what I did.

I did a quick and dirty search on Norway and Australia child welfare systems and it is really, really, not good.

In fact, it is so bad that it imported the child protection model from Michigan and transposed the entire U.S. child welfare system.

If the media will not cover this, then we shall through social media.

This is a public investigation where the public can engage, debate, share and directly participate in the investigations.

The investigation must be conducted in this manner as it is a form of metadata analysis, like Legally Kidnapped, and the fact that the U.S. Department of Justice has....for the longest...ignored me, just like the States Attorney General when it comes to that nasty conflict of interest in child welfare.

The entire model started on the ground level of the States, and now has become a global initiative (pun intended).

This is beyond historic because selling chattel may no longer be an option survival.

They can no longer raid the Social Security Trust Fund.

Hillary Clinton, Child Poverty, & A Campaign In Flint, Michigan

Mayor Karen Weaver and Secretary Hillary Clinton
in Flint, Michigan

The times when I stumble across child abuse related propaganda which is so perversely distorted that it literally brings me to tears in disgust are quite rare.

This is one of those moments.

For U.S. Congresswoman Karen Bass to shamelessly come out and support a political candidate by controlling the narrative of the national foster care system as a success is an utter embarrassment to my intelligence and my mission.

Yes, this is a wonderful story and I am proud of this gentleman, but now is the time to show courage by standing up and admitting that the Adoption and Safe Families Act has codified poverty as the crime of abuse and neglect.

As Secretary Hillary Clinton wishes to tout her work with child welfare, I believe it is only fitting to let her know that my entire blog is dedicated to inspire anyone in leadership to admit the reality of the secrecy behind the iron curtain of foster care.

Everyday, children in foster care are raped, drugged and tortured, yet, due to privacy constraints, very few even know that the majority of these children were removed due to poverty.

In 1997, the Adoption and Safe Families Act created an expedited, cost reimbursement system and launched a campaign to end poverty from the platform of "the best interest of the child" and Michigan led the nation in the development of policies to maximize revenue from the chattel of the poor,

The federal funding flood gates were opened as direct funding to assist families in need was shut down under the Personal Responsibility Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act.

PRWORA also stripped what little civil rights protections that existed from the poor to raise children.

The Children's Defense Fund is nothing more than the propaganda machine to criminalize poverty and sugar coat the entire child welfare industry as it is too big to fail.

I will even go so far to allege that this non-profit has, contributed and/or coordinated, in some for or fashion, to her Super PAC.

ASFA, for which the States have failed to meet one single benchmark, allows for children to be Legally Kidnapped.

Until I hear Madame Clinton speak upon the targeting of populations, the horrors of foster care, the ills of poverty and the culture of rampant fraud in child welfare, for which ASFA has promulgated, I will make it my hobby to call her out, and any other individual who fails to address the reality of hell for any child who survives foster care and those who did not.

I did not just write a book on this, I am an original source.  Hillary Clinton is not.

Welcome, Secretary Clinton to Genesee County, Flint, Michigan, second to Detroit in child poverty rates, where children would be typically removed from the homes in these lead related issues as a situation of environmental neglect..

This time, there are too many.

I am glad you find the urgency to protect vulnerable children of Flint, but I ask you, "Where were you all these years?"

How Hillary Clinton Inspired a Foster Youth to Become a Lawyer

As the Co-Chair of the Congressional Caucus on Foster Youth, I have time and again seen the power of positive mentorship. With encouragement and opportunity, many of the roughly 424,000 children in America's foster system go on to lead successful lives. That said, I was still deeply moved by this Hillary Clinton inspired video featuring Jelani Freeman, a foster youth turned government lawyer.

If you haven't watched the video yet, you absolutely should! Jelani describes a moment from his 2003 internship in Hillary's Senate office when he came across his boss talking with Sen. Ted Kennedy. As Jelani tells it, Hillary was "bragging about" him as an incredible young man who had rocketed from foster care to Capitol Hill.

That encounter meant the world to Jelani. "I grew up... just wanting someone to be proud of me," he says. "It was moments like that when Hillary would brag about me and build me up that I really, really treasure."

It's not often we get these glimpses into a presidential candidate's personal side. I'm thrilled that Jelani shared his story, as part of the "Let's Talk Hillary" project, and I'm hopeful that Hillary's example can inspire others in this country to offer support. After all, role models like her make all the difference.

In Hillary's case, Jelani is a single but important example of a long career helping young people. As a lawyer with the Children's Defense Fund, Hillary advocated for juvenile justice reform. She later worked as First Lady to push the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, which boosted foster adoptions by 64 percent by 2005. And as Secretary of State she created a special advisor on international children's issues while bolstering foster care worldwide.

Hillary's current platform is equally ambitious. She calls for universal preschool, so that children with fewer resources can make strides alongside their wealthier peers. Meanwhile, her New College Compact promises lower tuition rates, which means people like Jelani can continue to succeed from foster care onto college.

Too Small to Fail, family planning, criminal justice--the list goes on. My point is this: when it comes to helping children, Hillary has far more experience and far more detailed proposals than her opponents, Democrat and Republican alike. That fact, alone, earns her my vote.

Congress can only do so much, even on issues where both parties agree. The power to protect foster children will largely rest with a bully pulpit and executive actions--with the next leader in the White House. Four (or eight) more years are too many to wait around on this issue.

Jelani's story follows a pattern. If you had successful former foster children how they came to succeed, I'd be willing to bet a person like Hillary played a role. And with Hillary's nuanced proposals, many more foster kids can be business leaders or civil rights activists--maybe, one day, the President of the United States.

Linda Tripp Has Been Extracted From Humanity

Linda Tripp ran the Monica Lewinsky operation to redirect Whitewater in a series of absolute chaos of a sex scandal, between two legally consenting adults, to function as a distraction for the Adoption Safe Families Act (ASFA) and the Personal Work Responsibility Opportunity Reauthorizaiton Act (PRWORA), and it all started in Detroit.

Listen to Linda not talk about what is known as the corporate parent of the Arkansas Development Finance Authority, the fake ass parent of the Detroit Land Bank Authority.

You were mean to my Sweetie, which is never a good thing to do, now is it, Bitch Boy?

Where is Julian Epstein, of whom I prefer my own appellation of Slimy, Slime, Slime?

"Come out, come out, wherever you are..."

Where is George Bush?

These "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) attempted to run the exact, same, damn scheme in Detroit.

Idiots.

Linda Tripp, whose tapes were pivotal in Clinton impeachment scandal, dies

(CNN)Linda Tripp, who secretly recorded her conversations with Monica Lewinsky about the then-intern's relationship with President Bill Clinton in the White House, has died, according to her mother, Inge Carotenuto, and her former attorney, Joseph Murtha.

Tripp had previously been treated for breast cancer. She was 70.

Tripp, a friend of Lewinsky's at the time, turned the 20 hours of tapes over to special prosecutor Kenneth Starr. The scandal ultimately led to Clinton's impeachment for perjury and obstruction of justice, though he was ultimately acquitted in the Senate.

Lewinsky, despite their prior experiences, expressed well wishes to Tripp as reports indicated Wednesday that her health was failing.

"(No) matter the past, upon hearing that linda tripp is very seriously ill, i hope for her recovery. i can't imagine how difficult this is for her family," Lewinsky tweeted.

Lewinsky began to tell Tripp, a coworker of hers at the Pentagon, of her relationship with Clinton in the summer of 1996. Tripp began taping their conversations in the fall of 1997.

After contacting Starr about the tapes in January 1998, she met with Lewinsky again while wearing a wire, at which point Lewinsky coached Tripp on what to tell lawyers about Kathleen Willey, another former White House staffer who had testified about alleged unsolicited sexual advances made by Clinton in 1993.

When asked on Larry King Live in 2003 whether she regretted it, Tripp replied, "No, I would do it again."

"I told (Lewinsky) I would not fix a court case. I would not help fix a court case," Tripp said. "Yet I knew the President of the United States and Monica were intending to do that."

Speaking on the podcast "Slow Burn" in 2018, Tripp defended her actions as motivated by the idea that it would ultimately help Lewinsky.

"This was flying by the seat of my pants, terrified, out of my wits, completely guilt-ridden that I was having to manipulate her, but convinced in my soul that in the end it would benefit her. That he would no longer be able to do this to hurt anyone else," she recounted.

Tripp told the podcast that, at the time, she was being disingenuous while taping Lewinsky but only because she felt that she had to be.

"There wasn't a thing about those three months that were authentic. Everything prior to that was, but I needed everything to be recreated and it was beyond manipulative," she said. "Did I want to do that? Not necessarily, but I felt like I had no choice."

Tripp was open that she sought to go after Clinton, saying that Lewinsky's story established "a pattern of behavior that otherwise I believe wouldn't have had credibility" and that she "was eager for this information to fall into the hands of the Paula Jones attorneys," who sued the President on sexual harassment charges.

"But to say it was distasteful, to this day I have enormous guilt about" disseminating information to the press and FBI, she said.

"And of all the people I care about understanding, she's the one I wish I could convince," Tripp added, referring to Lewinsky. "And that'll never happen, so."

Ivanka Trump & Bill "Boo Boo" Barr Discussion On DOJ Human Trafficking Grants & Its New Silent Sub-recipient Grant Management - The Beginning To The End Of CAPTA & ASFA

Bill "Boo Boo" Barr was not very comfortable in discussing the transfer of funding and oversight of human trafficking grants to the DOJ Office of Victim Assistance, nor did he seem very excited about DHS escalating their activities in stopping the trafficking of tiny humans.

DOJ now has subrecipient grant management over the human trafficking grants, which means there is direct guidance and communication, unlike what goes on behind the iron curtain of child welfare, today.

https://alternativesforgirls.org/

I think the reason why Boo Boo had the Saddy Face was because it makes his job of covering up for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops robust activities of trying to restructure their activities of trafficking tiny humans, simply for the fact that they are losing their hegemonic status over the administration of the residuals of the peculiar institution, most notably known as Foster Care and Adoption, which is the industry of human trafficking, because slavery was never abolished, due to the 13th Exception.

I wonder why Callista Gingrich was not in attendance?

But, I digress.

TRUMP Celebrates The End Of Trafficking Tiny Humans Month With A Summit - Meet The Human Traffickers

How is Boo Boo supposed to contemporaneously advise and advocate in the capacity of U.S. Attorney General, when it comes to his promulgating Corporate Parental Rights to foreign nations while, in the same breath, advising these same foreign nations on how to maximize revenues in the trafficking of tiny humans?

Newt Gingrich, PRWORA, ASFA & The Christians - The U.S. History Of Trafficking Tiny Humans - Happy Child Abuse Propaganda Month

Boo Boo has no excuse anymore to claim he did not know Detroit is the epicenter of human trafficking, thanks to Alternative For Girls testimony.

I am quite sure Boo Boo is catching heat because these DOJ grants are not going to his foreign interests - these DOJ grants are going to the people who are actually being trafficked - humans.

Those foreign corporations for which Boo Boo promulgates Corporate Parental Rights are losing their sustainability because they are not human.

There is life after foster care, but it is no longer a life of human trafficking.

Praise the lord.

On a side note, longer hair on Ivanka is very flattering.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Eleven members or close associates of the MS-13 gang were arrested this week relating to the sexual exploitation and physical abuse of a minor in northern Virginia and Maryland.

“Sex traffickers often prey upon the most vulnerable victims in our society, and when combined with the horrific abuses of a gang like MS-13, the effects can be devastating,” said G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “I have personally handled the prosecution of MS-13 members in northern Virginia for over a decade, including for gang-controlled sex trafficking, and I have led meaningful outreach efforts with the Hispanic community in order to raise public awareness of these serious threats. As I’ve noted before, no one suffers more at the hands of MS-13 than other individuals of Central American birth or ancestry, and cases like this are proof of the need for community leaders to step up, acknowledge this reality, and work together to be part of the solution. I want to thank our law enforcement partners for conducting this complex investigation and arrest operation in a diligent and professional manner, and for their sustained commitment to eradicating MS-13 from our communities. These defendants are charged with heinous offenses, but are appropriately presumed innocent unless or until proven otherwise.”

According to court documents, in Aug. 2018, a 13-year-old identified as MINOR 2 ran away from a youth home in northern Virginia. Shortly after running away, MINOR 2 was introduced to members of MS-13. Members of the gang beat MINOR 2 26 times with a baseball bat as part of a gang initiation. Gang members then sex trafficked MINOR 2 in Virginia and Maryland using the currency of cash and drugs. While in Virginia, men lined up to have sex with her in a wooded area behind one target’s apartment complex. The men gave her drugs in exchange for sex. She also was harbored in various apartments in northern Virginia where men paid her and her handlers cash for sex.

“MS-13 is known for their violence and intimidation, but the horrific crimes alleged in this case show how their cruelty and depravity know no bounds,” said Robert E. Bornstein, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office Criminal Division. “The FBI and our community will not stand by while children are beaten, plied with drugs, and trafficked for sex. We will continue to work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to disrupt violent gang activity and bring justice on behalf of the innocent victims on whom they prey.”

According to court documents, MINOR 2 was later beaten again with a bat 26 times. After the second bat beating, MINOR 2 was transported to Maryland, where she was sold to numerous gang members and other customers in exchange for cash. Law enforcement recovered photographs and videos of MINOR 2 while being sexually exploited, along with numerous social media messages regarding the trafficking and sexual exploitation of MINOR 2.

“Today’s arrests are a prime example of the commitment and dedication of local police officers and federal agents to safeguard northern Virginia against crime and violence,” said Edwin C. Roessler Jr., Chief of Fairfax County Police. “The Fairfax County police department will continue to use every resource and leverage the full weight of our agency and our federal partners to prevent violence by interdicting organized crime and holding alleged criminal street gangs accountable.”
