Michael Voris Sucks


"The only way to prevent a democracy from committing suicide is to limit the vote to faithful Catholics," Michael Voris, 2018

For those of you just now tuning in, the christians, intentionally spelled with a lower case 'c', seem to be having a a bit of an issue with its public image when it comes to its DOJ investigation into its operations of trafficking tiny humans, which has been presented to the public as a "sex abuse scandal".

The Holy See Residuals Of The Peculiar Institution - Part Two - Civil Rights & Chattel Law - DOJ Issues Spoliation Letter To Conference Of Catholic Bishops


I must admit, I was a bit disturbed that I could not find the actual letter source from DOJ to the Conference of Catholic Bishops, which just so happens to include:

  1. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America;
  2. Diocese of the Armenian Church of America;
  3. Episcopal Church (United States).

So, what you do is call in your psychoptic propaganda image maker to clean up your image around the world for preparation of international prosecutions.

In walks Michael Voris.

Let me sum up the interview he did in response to the "christian church crisis" (a.k.a. pedophilia and the trafficking of tiny humans through child welfare programs like foster care and adoption), he refused to mention children, the land, or the votes.

Boy, oh, boy was he good.

Not one mention of mention of the federal and international investigations, or even the ongoing trail dealing with the insolvency of the Vatican Bank or its 'questionable' banking through Deutsche Bank and its international children's Trusts Funds.

That is how you know you have a pro.


Michael has a long and illustrious career in Detroit religious propaganda of the imperialistic morality parade going all the ways back to the days of when the North Oakland Republican Party was emboldening the Family Rights Council of Michigan, that I just so happened to be the Government Relations Director with my old crew, I so affectionately refer to as my "husbands" because they all loved me.

John Stahl, Jack Hoegendyk, Pete Hoekstra, Bill Hardiman, Mark Jansen.

The christian women hated me.

Whatever.

Yes, these same christian power structures took a hold of the Grand Rapids region where I used to roll hard out there in DeVos country, too.

These were very sophisticated spiritual operations to take over the voting powers (I call them powers because I was not up on voting rights at the time) by bringing together the down and out fathers who were victims of divorce and child support, to put them back into positions of financial and social glory through the tax exempt god, in the acquisition of land, to make them all manly and stuff, again, by setting them up in business and making money the christian way, through children's charitable organizations.

I know.

Even Mike Cox* used to have a child support non-profit, something or other, for laundering Title IV-D in state contracts for whatever it claimed it was doing, because it was only up for a hot second before it cashed out, so there are no IRS filings, which was one of the "hit-n-quit" models they set up to become financially re-empowered, again, as a social conservative, you know, conserving their status in society, by any means, christianly necessary.

(Ssshhh...Mikey used to be a Dem before he got to Livonia.)

*We have not forgotten about Strawberry.

I was in D.C. for the first gathering when they asked me to run data for policy development.

So, I did.

It was all financials and they did not like that I was showing them child welfare fraud so they kicked me out the family.

Oh well.

Here is backgrounder to the positions he is claiming the Catholic Church should be taking because only he can save the church, because he said so.

Oh, he is not a priest, but I swear he has a military background, hence, its name, Church Militant.

It also seems the Church Militant folks have a fundraising project called Funding Morality which looks like a propaganda campaign to protect...oh, how shall we say this....the pedophilic lifestyle of prominent leaders in the Catholic Church, which just so happens to be called the Jewish Institute for Global Awareness, registered in New Jersey, with no updates on its IRS filings.

Even Nancy Schaffer from Georgia was in on the operation with the christian hate rhetoric.

The cyberverse chatters have it there was a dark money scheme to help out Team Kavanaugh through JIGA, perhaps through GoFundMe, but, hey, what do I know?

Welcome to what I believe is going to be the Final Battle in the world of child welfare fraud: Religion.

Even though this particular post focuses on the republican christian facet in this highly evolved, complex financial fraud scheme known as privatization under chattel law, there is a direct, financial partnership with jewish and muslim religious factions, operating deeply within these political institutions of human history, on both sides of the aisle, with an extremely odious agenda.

The black churches have been infiltrated, too.

I have always said, the propaganda started in child welfare because no one cares.

Detroit was the pilot model city to steal the children, the land and the votes.

Michael Voris was mean to my Sweetie.

This is why Michael Voris Sucks.

Ex-Gay Crowdfunding Site Raises $100K To Help “Death To Gays” Chicago Priest Who Burned Rainbow Flag


Views on provocative Real Catholic TV station anger Detroit archdiocese and others


As a Catholic TV station based in Ferndale becomes increasingly popular around the world, church officials are trying to tell the public that the media outlet does not represent Catholicism.

In two public statements, the Archdiocese of Detroit has taken the unusual step of publicly criticizing Real Catholic TV, saying "that it does not have the authorization required under church law to identify or promote itself as Catholic."

The dispute comes as the TV station, which operates mainly over the Internet, has exploded in popularity since it started in 2008. Its videos have attracted 10 million views on YouTube and its public face, Michael Voris, has become a well-known, aggressive global advocate for conservative Catholics.

Voris returned from Nigeria last Monday, where he visited the church that terrorists attacked on Christmas Day. And on Friday, he left for the Philippines to help make the case against contraception use.

But as Real Catholic TV's popularity rises, the station is facing its share of detractors concerned about how its traditional views are sometimes expressed in a blunt manner.

"The only way to prevent a democracy from committing suicide is to limit the vote to faithful Catholics," Voris said on a show that stoked controversy.

On a mission to save the Catholic Church from itself, Michael Voris isn't afraid to offend

For much of his life, Michael Voris of Ferndale was a lukewarm Catholic, someone who usually just went through the motions at church.

But after the sudden death of his brother in 2003 from a heart attack and the death of his mother from stomach cancer the following year, the former TV reporter became a changed man.

"Her dying really kind of started to wake me up," Voris recalled. "You have to face mortality. And then the questions came pouring in: What is the meaning of life? Who are we as human beings? Is there life after death? Those are fundamental questions everyone has to look for."

Voris found those answers in the Catholic Church. In 2006, he formed St. Michael's Media, a Catholic TV production company and studio in Ferndale. And in 2008, he helped launch Real Catholic TV. Today, the never-married 50-year-old is consumed by his passion to promote what he considers the one true faith. Working up to 18 hours a day, seven days a week, Voris is on a burning mission to save Catholicism and America by trying to warn the public about what he sees as a decline of morality in society.

But it's a vision that has rubbed some the wrong way. His critics said his remarks, at times, promote division and extremism. Catholic officials from Pennsylvania to Spain to Detroit have warned people that he doesn't speak for the Catholic Church. The Archdiocese of Detroit released two public statements on Voris, saying in December that the TV station was not permitted to have the word "Catholic" in its title. After receiving complaints from Voris' supporters, it sent out a second release last month reiterating its stance.

But Voris and his supporters said it's their critics who violate the core teachings of the church. They're not surprised by the attacks because they see them as part of an effort to water down the faith.
"Chaos has run through the church for the last 40 to 50 years," Voris said. "For people who are faithful Catholics, it's a source of great sorrow. It's definitely broken."

The Catholic divide
The tension between the two sides reflects an intense debate among Catholics over how to stem the number of Catholics leaving the faith. Liberals argue that people are leaving because the church is too strict and outdated, but conservatives such as Voris say the opposite is true.

Voris said the church's liberal tilt in the years after the 1960s reforms of the Second Vatican led to declining mass attendance and the decline of morality in the West. In his videos -- which on YouTube have drawn more than 10 million views -- Voris criticizes everything from abortion (comparing it to a holocaust) to contraception to liberal Catholics who promote feminism and homosexuality. In one of his more controversial videos, Voris said:

"The only way to run a country is by benevolent dictatorship, a Catholic monarch who protects his people from themselves and bestows on them what they need, not necessarily what they want."
After an uproar, Voris apologized, saying that he misspoke but he stands by his larger point, which is that a society needs strong morals in order to survive.

Defending the faith
Last April, the diocese in Scranton, Pa., banned him from speaking in its facilities after it received complaints about his comments on other faiths.

In response to the criticism, Voris told the Free Press:

"Current culture doesn't let things be said plainspokenly. It's ... political correctness. Anything somebody takes offense at, whether it's true or not, seems to be out of bounds."
Despite the controversy, Voris travels the world to promote the Catholic faith. He has done shows in Nigeria, the Philippines, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium and Germany and has upcoming trips to New Zealand and Australia.

Voris' efforts are financed by Marc Brammer, a business developer for Moody's who lives in South Bend, Ind., and is a member of Opus Dei, a somewhat controversial group known for its traditional views.

Voris started and owns a media company, St. Michael's Media, which Brammer contracts to produce Real Catholic TV.

Like Voris, Brammer is concerned about what he feels is the liberal shift of the Catholic Church. They both criticize what they call "Americanism," a term they use to describe a post-1960s culture that they say has negatively influenced Catholics.

"Our Catholic Church is infected with Americanism that has gone wrong," said Brammer. "Not that America is wrong. But America's best days are not today; it was in the past, just like the Catholic Church."

While in Madrid, Voris bemoaned the American Catholics who attended, saying they were dressed immodestly.

"It made you downright cringe to see so many Americanized Catholics standing there at mass half-naked," he said in a video.

Voris and his backers are committed to forging ahead on a mission to save the Catholic Church and the U.S.

Many current church leaders are "namby-pamby," Voris said. "It's all about, 'Love your neighbor.' "
What's needed instead, he said, is a muscular Catholicism that isn't afraid to encourage battle and sacrifice.

"Sometimes, you have to provocative," Brammer said.

Michigan Amer Act Is Already Federal Law

Some years ago, right around the time the State of Michigan, particularly Wayne County, under the prosecutorial authority of former Wayne County Assistant Attorney General, Attorney General and Governor, Jennifer Granholm, there was a massive multi-billion dollar chattel ranching revenue maximization scheme.  Fortunately, the state anointed me as the chosen one as I am an original source.

Children were being Legally Kidnapped.  The Amer children were prized possessions as they would bring top dollar in Medicaid services for being determined by the court as special needs and they became the poster children of the child abuse propaganda industry.  All this was done in the name of God because God cannot be audited.

I am very familiar with the Michigan Amer Act and this is why I am going to share my work history on this piece of legislation.

I worked very closely with Representatives John Stahl (R) and Jack Hoogendyk (R), members of the Committee on Children and Family Services.  I swing both ways across the aisle.  When the Amer Bill was initially introduced, it was filled with a number of constitutional erroneous artifacts which made its original format D.O.A.

The original Amer Bill was crafted to establish religious consideration of placement.

The first issue with religious placements is the fact that, as child welfare is a federally funded program,  Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.  This is taken from the First Amendment of the Constitution.  So, what we did was to submit a revised draft to attempt to come into federal compliance with Title IV-E.  There had just been a state single audit and it was not pretty, at all.

As a matter of fact, the audit was so bad, pursuant to OMB Cir A-133, the State Auditor General had to report the instances of non-compliance to HHS OIG.  Representative Brenda Clack (D) and her buddies wanted to sweep this under the rug.

What came next was the unleashing of financial hell upon Michigan with their Title IV-E compliance.  Michigan appealed and lost.  So the state had to address the non-compliance which was establishing relative placement provisions in foster care placement.  Our bi-partisan solution worked well when presented to Committee and was on fast track for law.

Understanding that the Amers were but only one of a myriad of hell stories of Michigan foster care,  (we should never forget the courageous work of Starletta Banks) Representative John Stahl and I began crafting our remedy, House Resolution NN of 2008 which was referred to the House Judiciary Committee.  What happened was we presented to U.S. Representative Pete Hoekstra who horribly modified and introduced it as a Parental Rights amendment to the U.S. Constitution, currently going through the ratification process.

I do not support the proposed Parental Rights Amendment and these are the reasons why:

1.     Parental Rights do not exist in a form readily understood outside a court of law.

2.     There is no codification of "governmental interest" or even "highest order".  This would be state      interpretation, taking everything back to square one.

3.     No one national tenet should have the power to interfere with international engagements.

4.     This Amendment is supportive of expanding the scope and powers of Child Protective Services.

I wrote a book on Parental Rights.  Of Parental Rights: The Acquisition of Goods.  I have given multiple testimony to Congress.  I have been engaged with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General.  My authority has yet to be challenged so what I say, I expect to be widely disseminated.



U.S. Representative John Conyers, Jr. will not be addressing a national "Amer Act" and this is why:  The law is already on the books. 42 U.S.C. § 671(a)(19)

It is such a shame one of his assistant staffers did not properly vet this issue but that is what Systemsucks do.
What is a System Suck? 
The simple answer to this question is this:  A system suck is one who profits in one way or another from, or makes their living from the legal kidnapping of your children.   There are two types, although both types can be present in one person.  One does it for the money, the other does it to make themselves feel important.  A sort of self gratification.


Rulemaking in the administration of a state program is left to the States as our government is a federalist structure.  That is why there compliance mandates.  Authorization of funding is a state judicial determination.  Grant compliance of Title IV-E is housed in the venue of the federal executive branch.

The Gentleman and I have been investigating the proper course of action to illuminate the inner workings of the child welfare system.   It is not going to be pretty because I am conducting the symphony.

How Federal Legislation Impacts Child Welfare Service Delivery

Thanks, George.  Great work!

Cocktails & Popcorn: Schiff & Jolly Jerry Cannot Figure Out Who The Celestial Authority Whistleblower Is

First, this happened...


Then this happened...



Yet, no one has yet to identify the Celestial Authority ready to bring down the heavens.

Whoever could this Goddess be?

#sayhisname

Perhaps, there is no illegally withholding of "urgent" whistleblower complaint if the whistleblower complaint materials are already public?

But, hey, what do I know?

I know Trump has yet to nominate a new Director of National Intelligence and Pete Hoekstra's name has been floating around.

Schiff accuses top intel official of illegally withholding 'urgent' whistleblower complaint

The nation's top intelligence official is illegally withholding a whistleblower complaint, possibly to protect President Donald Trump or senior White House officials, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff alleged Friday.

Schiff issued a subpoena for the complaint, accusing acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire of taking extraordinary steps to withhold the complaint from Congress, even after the intel community's inspector general characterized the complaint as credible and of "urgent concern."


“A Director of National Intelligence has never prevented a properly submitted whistleblower complaint that the [inspector general] determined to be credible and urgent from being provided to the congressional intelligence committees. Never," Schiff said in a statement. "This raises serious concerns about whether White House, Department of Justice or other executive branch officials are trying to prevent a legitimate whistleblower complaint from reaching its intended recipient, the Congress, in order to cover up serious misconduct."

Schiff indicated that he learned the matter involved "potentially privileged communications by persons outside the Intelligence Community," raising the specter that it is "being withheld to protect the President or other Administration officials." In addition, Schiff slammed Maguire for consulting the Justice Department about the whistleblower complaint "even though the statute does not provide you discretion to review, appeal, reverse, or countermand in any way the [inspector general's] independent determination, let alone to involve another entity within the Executive Branch."

"The Committee can only conclude, based on this remarkable confluence of factors, that the serious misconduct at issue involves the President of the United States and/or other senior White House or Administration officials," Schiff wrote in a letter to Maguire on Friday.

The initial whistleblower complaint was filed last month, and Schiff indicated that it was required by law to be shared with Congress nearly two weeks ago. His subpoena requires the information to be turned over by Sept. 17 or else he intends to compel Maguire to appear before Congress in a public hearing on Sept. 19.

Schiff said Maguire declined to confirm or deny whether the whistleblower's complaint relates to anything the Intelligence Committee is currently investigating or whether White House lawyers were involved in the decision-making about the complaint.



Officials in Maguire’s office acknowledged Schiff’s subpoena late Friday.

“We received the HPSCI's subpoena this evening. We are reviewing the request and will respond appropriately,” said a senior intelligence official. “The ODNI and Acting DNI Maguire are committed to fully complying with the law and upholding whistleblower protections and have done so here.”

When a youth would file one of those Recipient Rights Complaints, it was always tossed.

I know.

I used to talk to them.

Then I would file a grievance with Michigan, strictly for documentational purposes, only, because all they did was toss, or send me a gratuitous phone call, or dismissive missive, letting me know everything was status quo.

See, there are no civil rights in child welfare because it is all privatized under foreign corporate shape shifters who like to use LLCs because it is easy to dissolve, or bankrupt, or sell, gift, trust or something, right after you get the state grants. contracts and the fake ass Medicaid cost reimbursements because, more than likely, they took out some mortgages, DLA Small Business loan, TARP, then quiet titled, then mortgaged again, or some stealin' like that.

Let me check right quickly.

Yippers.

All they ever want is to turn a profit.

How is it one can turn a profit when engaging in the healing of a child?

Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare, of course.

Oh, there are so many fraudulent billing scams that go on in child welfare.

I used to let them take me in their offices and show me everything, including voicing their grievances that Michigan will not do a damn thing for these children.

Many of the staff should not even be in the field of human services, ever, seriously, there should be some form of ethics involved when it comes to hiring practices in human resources... when it comes to human asset management for foreign, privatized, entities.

Remember, there are no civil rights in child welfare because it is privatized, where the foreign entity comes up with its own, self-reporting, of all the wonderful things they do for kids.

Luay Haddad & The Academic Journalism Secret Society Sucks

You can run fake ass studies.

You can run human lab rat experiments.

You can run kiddy kickback ops for your buddies who like to Praise the Lord alot.

Heck, you can even help run a fake ass mortgage program in Detroit to profit off human trafficking, funded by Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare.

Just ask Bill Clinton.

State didn't investigate psych patient deaths after release from Detroit hospital

Lawmakers call for more review of post-release deaths


Notification of Death Report
LANSING (WXYZ) — Since 2017, at least four patients have died within two days of being released from StoneCrest Hospital, a private inpatient psychiatric facility in Detroit. Despite being notified of each of the deaths, state officials never investigated.

Officials with LARA, the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, say they’re not legally required to follow up on deaths like these, nor are they empowered to by statute. Today, in response to an investigation by 7 Action News, two state senators are calling for changes to ensure that post-release deaths are investigated.

RELATED: A Detroit psychiatric hospital released him Thursday, he took his life Friday

At 162 beds, StoneCrest is one of the largest private psychiatric facilities in the state. 7 Action News first investigated the hospital earlier this year, after one of its patients, Joe Sadlak, admitted to murder only two days after he was discharged.

He had been treated at StoneCrest for less than a week.

“You put my son on four different kinds of medication and knew his drug history,” said Pamela Rowley, Joe’s mother, “and you let him go.”

In Michigan, when a psychiatric patient dies within two days of being released from a hospital, the state requires the hospital to report it. Those reports come to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.

In September 2017, StoneCrest reported that a patient came to its hospital after stating he “was not happy in his life and wanted to die.” After treatment, he was released and died shortly thereafter. StoneCrest reported the death to the state, listing the cause as “not known.”

Less than a month later, another patient came to Stonecrest after saying he wanted to “jump off a bridge.” Within 2 days of release, he was found dead in his bathtub with his throat cut. State officials from LARA didn’t investigate.

A third death would be reported the following July. A woman came to Stonecrest with a history of suicidal behavior. She was treated, released and—the next day—found dead in a river. The cause of death was listed as “unknown.” Again, state officials didn’t investigate.

Then, this past June, a 29-year-old Detroit man came to Stonecrest after displaying severe psychotic behavior. He was deemed well enough to be released, but took his life the next day.

“Did your office ask any questions about that?” asked Channel 7’s Ross Jones.

“Again, we’ve been doing our statutory requirement,” said Larry Horvath, the Director of the Bureau of Community and Health System at LARA

“Did you ask any questions about that?” Jones asked again.

“We required the report to be filled out,” Horvath said.

“And that’s it,” Jones replied.

“Yes,” Horvath said.

Officials asked no questions, according to a spokesman, because “LARA is not by law or rule required to follow up on these reported deaths,” nor—they say— does the law give them the express authority to. State watchdogs are empowered to investigate only deaths that occur in restraints, Horvath said.

The death reports are reviewed during regular inspections, but no investigations are launched. Horvath said he hopes hospitals use the reports to guide their treatment.

"If they're starting to notice a pattern with a cause of death that occurs have discharge, hopefully they're starting to work with their medical directors, their nursing staff, their social workers to put corrections in place to address it," he said.

“It’s inexcusable,” said Mark Reinstein, President and CEO of the Mental Health Association in Michigan. “To hide behind, ‘It’s not our legal responsibility.’ Well then whose is it?”

By law, LARA is required to report all psychiatric deaths reported to them to the state legislature. But they haven’t been, 7 Action News has learned, for at least the last three years. In August, prompted by our reporting, the state submitted reports for 2016, 2017 and 2018, though they did not include post-release deaths.

Following our questions, LARA changed the reporting requirements for post-release deaths—no longer requiring that deaths occurring within 48 hours of discharge be reported. Spokesman Jason Moon said changing the policy aligns LARA with state law, which doesn’t require notification of post-release deaths.

The decision stunned multiple mental health advocates, including Andrea Rizor, the Director of Advocacy for Michigan Protection and Advocacy Services,.

“It looks like they don’t want to know if it’s a suspicious death or not,” she said. "It doesn't make sense."

This week, in response to 7 Action News' findings, the Democratic leader in the state senate is calling for changes.

“Stories like these are deeply concerning, and as a state we should be doing all that we can to help stop these preventable deaths,” said Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich (D-Flint). “The department should have the ability to identify concerning patterns, and if it requires a legislative fix to make sure they are empowered to do so, we will write the bill.”
