DAVOS Predictive Modeling Crappers - Pitching Their Latest Plan For Foreign Public Private Partnerships To Continue Taking Over The U.S. Government - White House Budget 2021

Once upon a time, a bunch of Predictive Modeling Crappers got together at DAVOS to pitch more of their latest and greatest human asset management Social Impact Bond programs so they can make U.S. law and policy without any public input, completely ignoring the APA because they are all foreign corporations and they intentionally falsely advise Trump.

Mastercard and Rockefeller Announce Data.org: A Platform for Data Science Partnerships

$10 Million Challenge launched to help crowdsource solutions to social challenges

The Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth and The Rockefeller Foundation today announced data.org as a platform for partnerships that will continue to build the field of data science for social impact. This is the next chapter of a $50 million commitment Mastercard and the Rockefeller Foundation made last year to launch a transformational model for philanthropy. 

As part of today’s announcement, data.org launched a new $10 million impact challenge to crowdsource scalable and sustainable data science solutions for non-profit, civic and government organizations. 

Michael Froman

VICE CHAIRMAN OF MASTERCARD

With the data.org domain name, The Rockefeller Foundation and the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth are building on the success of the original DATA.org—launched in 2002 by a group of innovative social entrepreneurs, including rock star and philanthropist Bono, to alleviate debt, AIDS and trade inequalities in Africa. In what ultimately became the ONE Campaign, they focused on driving evidence-based approaches to development. 

“Our commitment to building the field of data science is rooted in the belief that data-driven insights can deliver transformational change that improves the lives of vulnerable people and helps solve the world’s most pressing challenges,” said Michael Froman, vice chairman of Mastercard. “We must make sure that even as people have unprecedented access to technology, we don’t allow a new digital divide to emerge.”     

“While the private sector has been gathering data and using data science analytics, such as artificial intelligence for many years, most non-profit, civic and public sector institutions still lack the resources to do so,” said Dr. Rajiv Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation. “Just as these tools have given businesses competitive edges, enabling them to find nuanced ways to improve productivity and market impact, data science can increase the speed, depth, and accuracy of analyzing a social challenge, pointing to solutions, partnerships, and innovative investments that can provide impact.”

“Data science can increase the speed, depth, and accuracy of analyzing a social challenge, pointing to solutions, partnerships, and innovative investments that can provide impact.”

Rajiv Shah

PRESIDENT OF THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION

The new data.org seeks to build the capacity of non-profit organizations with training resources, access to data sets and open-sourced tools that help these organizations harness the power of data insights and analytics to enhance their efforts. This will be done in a way that brings more people and organizations together to effect positive social change, all while adhering to principles of responsible data use. Its current partners include DataKind, Benefits Data Trust, Community Solutions and Tableau Foundation. All of these organizations are leveraging data science to help solve complex societal challenges.

For example, in partnership with nonprofit organization DataKind, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice was able to use predictive analytics to identify students at risk of dropping out and intervene with resources to support them, resulting in a dramatic improvement in their graduation rates. Community Solutions, a nonprofit working in more than 80 cities and counties to measurably end homelessness, partnered with Tableau Foundation, to fuel the initiative’s progress through the use of data analytics. And finally, Benefits Data Trust, a national nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia, is helping millions of low-income American families access the safety net benefits available to help them through the use of artificial intelligence and leveraging the power of data.

2018 CR Budget Allows Child Welfare Whistleblowers To Report Privatized Fraud

If you steal, we are snitching.

#DOJ

#FBI

This is historic because there are no civil rights in privatization nor can one execute FOIA, but now we can blow the whistle on fraud in child welfare.

There are a few areas of the Continuing Resolution 2018 for the Budget to extend governmental operations until March 23, 2018 I would like to highlight.

Social Impact Bonds: From its language, I believe that this is going to be a bait and switch for private funding of social programs and this is why:

$100 million is dedicated to the U.S. Treasury, and not Department of Health and Human Services.

U.S. Treasury has some really super duper special enforcement powers of financial accountability, like SIGTARP.

This means if these NGO "Pay For Success" privatized programs do not demonstrate success, they do not get a penny!

Why is this so funny to me?

Well, it is going to be virtually impossible for these NGOs to meet any of the benchmarks set as criteria for success because all one has to do is look out their front window or in their refridgerator to see if these PFS have met the federal benchmarks.

Now, allow us to move on the Families First Act.

I always had issues with it as it just established more and more layers of privatized contractual billing opportunities for fraud, but, considering there are now benchmarks and law enforcement oversight through the U.S. Treasury, I think we finally have a neotin form of oversight from the people.

Did you know the U.S. Treasury has a whistleblower program?

Well, now you do.

U.S. Treasury Office of Inspector General Whistleblower Fraud Program

You may use the following form to submit your complaint or you may phone, fax, or mail your complaint. Prior to submitting your complaint to the Treasury OIG Hotline, we recommend you review the information located on the main Treasury OIG Hotline page.

Per Treasury Employee Rules of Conduct, 31 C.F.R. §0.207, and Treasury Order 114-01, all Treasury employees and officials are under the affirmative duty to report to the Inspector General any complaints or information concerning the possible existence of any activity constituting a violation of law, rules or regulations relating to the Department. Please be aware that if you intentionally report false information to the Treasury OIG, in some instances, you may be subject to possible criminal or civil penalties. We may make disclosures of information you submit to other parties, including other Federal and State law enforcement agencies, as necessary to complete our investigation, or as required under Federal law. We may also refer your allegation to the appropriate law enforcement agency if we believe you have alleged a criminal or civil violation within their jurisdiction.

You are not required to complete all of the presented information fields. Completion of the fields that are strongly recommended are marked by a * red asterisk. If you wish to elect anonymity or confidentiality, select the appropriate options within Part I of the form and follow the corresponding instructions. Please keep in mind that your decision to elect anonymity may limit our ability to conduct a complete investigation, if one is warranted.

There are other public fraud reporting programs, but I shall save those for another time.

Quintessentially, the public will be conducting the oversight of these privatized child welfare programs through whistleblowers.

"HA-HA!  You will lose your funding if you
sell and/or kill tiny humans."

Fatality Prevention Plans: The States can no longer cover up kids dying in foster care and adoption programs and must come up with a plan to properly report data to the feds, which in this instance, I shall assume, no, I am claiming oversight will be with the U.S. Treasury.

If they lie, the States get their federal grants snatched and face serious reprisal, and I do not limit the reprisals to be only through civil penalties.  These state administrators should be looking at federal criminal investigation referrals and criminal prosecutions.

This concept I am attributing to Senators Hatch-Wyden and their report findings of privatization in of child welfare, I shall leave below.

Michigan sold and killed Ricky Holland for profit, using federal taxpayer dollars, and nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing happened to the perpetrators, and none of "The Elected Ones" did a damn thing about it, which is why I am on a mission.

This is strictly personal.

DACA:  The is nothing but a cover for the international trafficking of tiny humans.  Period.

Home-based, Community-based Visitation Program:  We, the people can now snitch on the States and privatized programs is they violate our civil rights. (See U.S. Treasury Fraud Reporting Program). 

U.S. Senate Finance Committee Study On Privatization In Foster Care

Stay tuned.  More to come and it will not be pretty, trust me.  I am the original source and I am going to be very, very busy for years to come.

One Month of Spending, Years of Child Welfare Reform

The continuing resolution (CR) signed by President Donald Trump this morning funds the government until March 23. But it changed the landscape of federal child welfare funding for the foreseeable future.

Here is Youth Services Insider’s breakdown of the many long-term implications for youth and family services in the spending bill.

Family First Act Is Law of the Land

H.R.1892 - Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018

A few years back, Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) – the chair and ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee – merged their child welfare priorities into one bill. Hatch wanted to pressure states to cut down on the use of congregate care and group home placements; Wyden wanted to give child welfare systems more ability to fund services that prevented the use of foster care in more cases.

These were the seeds from which the Family First Prevention Services Act grew, a bill that now has significantly altered the child welfare financing landscape. The Title IV-E entitlement, currently reserved for foster care and adoption assistance expenses, can now be used for 12 months of services aimed at helping families without the use of foster care (well, sort of: many will surely require the assistance of relative caregivers).

The spending bill signed by President Trump includes funding through March 23, and provisions that permanently change the federal entitlement for foster care.

As opioids and meth continue to wreak havoc on American families, the act will enable child welfare systems to tap into IV-E to get addiction treatment for parents that they determine, with the right amount of support, are not a danger to their children. So too for parents suffering from mental illness or basic parenting deficits.

On the other end of the spectrum, proponents of Family First hope that its restrictions on federal funds for congregate care settings is enough to pressure states into relying more on foster homes. There is no current limit to how long IV-E can be used for such placements. Under the new law, states will have only two weeks of federal support guaranteed.

“I cried for about 10 minutes this morning,” said Amy Harfeld, national policy director for the Children’s Advocacy Institute, speaking in celebration of the bill. “There are not a lot of things that shock the hell out of me, but seeing this long fight culminate in victory did. It’s revolutionary. This presents a really exciting challenge to folks in our field to think about the way we do finance child welfare and where we should be making investments.”

“Challenge” is an appropriate word. On the front end, the Family First’s prospects to keep more families together is contingent on states’ willingness to put in their own funds for substance abuse, mental health and parenting services. And success will further be contingent on greater knowledge and proliferation of evidence-based interventions that work to help these parents.

On the back end, use of congregate care has declined over the years as states have come to rely more on relatives and some have built their roster of foster homes. But as The Chronicle of Social Change reported this fall, in more than half of the states, foster home recruitment and retention has not kept pace with the rise in youth placed in foster care.

The Family First Act injects into that situation fiscal pressure to keep youth out of congregate care, where the feds won’t help pay for it, and into foster homes, where the feds will. The Family First Act does include a slate of exceptions to the congregate care limits, chief among them a pass for settings that can be deemed “qualified resident treatment placements.”

Ten years ago, such restrictions on congregate care would have occurred as foster care numbers were ticking down across the country. Today, states will have to find more foster home capacity while some accommodate rapidly rising numbers of kids.

John Sciamanna, vice president of public policy for the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA), summed up the challenges nicely in an e-mail to Youth Services Insider:

Like all child welfare legislation, this is a work in progress. There is great potential to add in new post-reunification and adoption services as well as up-front intervention services. The challenge will be to make sure as many states as possible take the option to draw down the new IV-E services fund. 

In addition, we need to make sure that HHS [the Department of Health and Human Services] is flexible in the programs that can be funded. As part of this we also have to work to make sure that youth in particular are not pushed into another system (juvenile justice, for example) as oversight on institutional care is increased.

YSI will certainly dive deeper into the implications of and details in the Family First Act in the coming weeks.

Home Visiting’s Last-Minute Save

The Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program, which pairs professionals with new and expecting mothers to help prepare them for parenthood, faced a shortfall that likely would have prompted program eliminations and staff layoffs across the country.

On Tuesday, the House did not include reauthorization of MIECHV in its spending plans. That is sort of incredible when you consider that the House did include Family First, a new law with massive implications for a federal entitlement, and MIECHV has had bipartisan support for more than a decade.

By Wednesday, when the Senate introduced the CR that actually became law, MIECHV had received a five-year extension at its current rate of $400 million per year. Last year, advocates for the program might have been glum that the authorization wasn’t doubled or at least increased; today, they are surely relieved to just get out with a win.

“Today is a great day for children and families,” said Diedra Spires, CEO of the Dalton Daley Group, which helped coordinate the Home Visiting Coalition, in an e-mail to YSI.  “A five-year reauthorization of MIECHV is tremendous. We are also gladdened by the increased impact that the passage of multiple programs that serve and protect children and families will have over the next five years and beyond.”

The level extension of MIECHV sidesteps House Republicans’ desire to turn it into a match program, requiring equal fiscal participation by states by 2022. That plan had potential in theory to increase the overall investment in home visiting, but MIECHV proponents argued that the opposite would be the reality. Many states, they argued, would not be in a position to meet the federal allocations, leaving millions in MIECHV funds on the table.

Fatality Prevention Plans

Slipped into the original construct of the Family First Act is a provision from a separate law introduced in October by Hatch and Wyden following the Senate Finance Committee’s investigation of privatization in foster care.

Each state would be required under Title IV-B of the Social Security Act to conduct an annual review of child fatalities, collecting data on both the circumstances of the death and facts about the child’s history (siblings, presence of mental health or substance abuse issues, etc.).

The provision embeds the idea of a regular assessment of child fatalities envisioned in the recommendations last year by the Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities.

The language in the CR is a little looser than the October version, but requires two things from states on this issue: A description of the steps the state is taking to compile complete and accurate information on maltreatment-related deaths, and a description of steps that state is taking to implement a “plan to prevent the fatalities.”

$100 Million for Social Impact Projects

Pay for Success (PFS) projects, also known as social impact bonds, offer governments a sneak peak at the impact of evidence-based interventions and services before they (hopefully) commit to embedding them in policy. Private money is put up to fund the services with agreed-upon benchmarks for success; if the marks are met or exceeded, funders get their money back with potential bonuses. If the benchmarks are not met, the government doesn’t pay a dime.

The CR includes legislation providing $100 million to the Treasury Department to issue for PFS projects around the country. The department has a year to launch the competition for these funds, and another six months to select winners.

The legislation includes a laundry list of acceptable issues and populations for the projects to focus on. Among them:

• Improving birth outcomes and early childhood health
• Increasing the number of children living in two-parent households
• Reducing the number of children living in foster care and returning to foster care
• Increasing graduation rates
• Increasing employment rates among youth and young adults
• Reducing reliance among low-income families on the social safety net

The U.S. accounts for fewer than 20 percent of the 108 projects that have launched worldwide, but it accounts for about half of the total funding committed to PFS ventures, according to new numbers released by Social Finance.

CHIP Extension Extended, Community Health Centers Get Boost

The Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was built as a protective wall to prevent health care costs from making families poor. It helps insure children whose parents make too much to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough money to afford the premiums for quality care for the whole family.

Like MIECHV, CHIP expired in September, and states were making noise about halting enrollment before last month’s CR extended the program for six years.

This deal added an additional four years, giving CHIP a full decade extension, which the Congressional Budget Office estimates will actually save the federal government $6 billion over the decade.

Community health centers serve about 27 million people a year in America, many of them low-income families. Federal funding expired in September, and is renewed in this bill with an increase from last year’s $3.6 billion. The centers will receive $3.8 billion this year, and $4 billion next year.

No DACA

Noticeably absent from the spending agreement is a fix for Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the program through which people who arrived illegally in America as young children can move toward lawful residency. DACA was rolled out by executive order under President Obama after Congress failed to pass the DREAM Act, a legislative attempt to help this population.

President Trump has set the DACA program to expire in early March, weeks before the next funding deadline for the government. He wants DACA tied to a broader immigration reform.

CONYERS: Heartless Trump Budget Hurts Nation's Most Vulnerable And Undermines Access To Justice

Washington, D.C. – House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI), today released the following statement on President Donald Trump’s proposed fiscal year 2018 budget:

Dean of the U.S, House
of Representatives
John Conyers, Jr.

“There is no doubt that President Trump’s budget starves many essential government programs across the board.  These proposed cuts threaten to undermine the Justice Department’s critical public safety efforts and jeopardize essential community-based justice programs,” said Conyers. 

Guts Legal Services Program for America’s Most Vulnerable:

Conyers continued, “The Trump Budget effectively eliminates the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), a program that for more than 40 years, with bipartisan support, has provided civil legal representation of hundreds of thousands of Americans in every county in every state and the territories.  By cutting all LSC funding, the Trump Budget would harm America's most vulnerable: seniors victimized by consumer fraud scams, families facing foreclosure and eviction, women trying to escape domestic abuse, and veterans seeking promised benefits.  Last year alone, LSC grantees helped nearly 100,000 veterans and their family members nationwide.  Rather than address the enormous gap between the number of people who need legal services and the resources currently available to LSC to meet their needs, the Trump budget instead guts this critical program, which is particularly needed in rural communities where 20% of the Nation’s population resides in rural areas, but only 2% of lawyers serve these communities.”

Strips Funding from National Instant Criminal Background Check Improvement Program:

“After the Virginia Tech mass shooting in 2007, Congress passed the NICS Improvement Amendments Act, a bipartisan measure to require and fund the addition of qualifying mental health information into the background check system,” said Conyers.  “The Trump budget reduces funding for this effort. We must maintain our commitment to making sure this system is as comprehensive as possible to reduce the chances that guns are sold in error to people who are legally prohibited from possessing them.”

Harms Crime Prevention Efforts:

Conyers continued, “The Trump budget severely underfunds programs that help the formerly incarcerated get back on their feet. At a time when we must focus our efforts on programs that actually work to reduce crime, we must not back away from funding critical programs under the Second Chance Act that help prisoners successfully transition back to their communities and thereby reduce recidivism.” 

Americans Foot the Bill for Trump’s Border Wall:

“This budget funds a militarized police force which has the potential to expose Americans to greater racial profiling and additional interrogations at the border. With this budget, Americans will foot the bill for Trump’s un-American border wall,” Conyers concluded.

CONYERS: Trump Budget Fails To Make USA Safer, Undermines Access To Justice & Jeopardizes Millions Fleeing Violence, Famine & War

Washington, D.C. – House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) today released the following statement on President Donald Trump’s proposed fiscal year 2018 budget blueprint:

Dean of the U.S. House
of Representatives
John Conyers, Jr.

“President Trump’s budget blueprint starves essential government programs across the board.  Under the guise of reprioritizing federal spending in the name of advancing the “safety and security of the American people,” the Trump Budget will make Americans less safe, deny them access to justice, and fund discriminatory immigration policies at the expense of hardworking Americans who need vital federal services such as “meals on wheels,” public broadcasting and critical environmental protections. 

“The President’s shortsighted budget cuts threaten to undermine the Justice Department’s critical public safety efforts.  Cutting DOJ funding could very well jeopardize essential community-based justice programs such as the Community Oriented Policing Service (COPS) Program and the Violence against Women Act (VAWA) Program.            

“The Trump Budget also proposes to cut all funding for the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), a program that for more than 40 years, with bipartisan support, has provided civil legal representation of hundreds of thousands of Americans in every county in every state and the territories.  By eliminating all LSC funding, the Trump Budget would harm America's most vulnerable: families facing foreclosure and eviction, women struggling to escape domestic abuse, and veterans trying to obtain promised benefits.  More than 150 of the Nation’s largest law firms agree that funding LSC is essential so that it continue to provide civil legal services to the poor.       

“While slashing these critical federal programs, the Trump Budget would build a wall and deport millions of immigrants – increasing spending on immigration enforcement by $3 billion. It invests $2.6 billion in border technology, including the border wall;  requests an additional $1.5 billion to detain and deport our neighbors, our friends, and our family; and proposes an additional $314 million to hire more Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents to create the promised “deportation force.” 

“With this budget, Americans are being asked to foot the bill for Trump’s border wall through their tax dollars and every time they fly on an airplane. The Trump Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to pay for TSA security operations, while simultaneously slashing funding for TSA security screenings. This budget reduces state and local Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants by $667 million and eliminates FEMA no cost match grants. In exchange for these cuts, Americans will be exposed to greater racial profiling and additional interrogations at the border.”

The First Flavor Of The Trump Administration

Well, well, well, what do we have here besides a new president?

A new administration!

It looks like the ACLU has formally taken the reins (REINS, pun intended) and has made the first public declaration that the Trump Presidency is about to be congressionally challenged through the legal network, public and private.

Well, well, well, it is about damn time.

What we have here is a foreshadowing of what is about to come in the form of law and policy.

Never before have the powers vested in the Congress been, well, how can I say, "bifurcated" (pun, intended) to let loose the checks and balances doctrine and the "old school, iconic, legal geniuses" who have been salivating in the shadows of time, to put on the greatest show in the history of this great nation, to "challenge the constitutionality of the Executive Office", ya know, like, um, well, Executive Orders, and um, ya know, the other stuff ya keep saying POTUS could not do.

But think of all these jobs, high tech, legal jobs, which shall be created.

For another historic milestone, the practice areas of constitutional and civil rights law, there will be opportunity to actually make a living, which means they will start actually teaching this in law school, because what is out there at the curriculum sucks.   I am including political science, also.

Then, there will be all the databases that are being created, ya know, like, um, the "Registered-BLM-Gay-Jewish-Muslim-Nazi-Mass-Pacifist-Database"?

See, while the congressional majority is busy putting together a Bill to fund this "Registered-BLM-Gay-Jewish-Muslim-Nazi-Mass-Pacifist--Database", it will have to legally battle it, first.

Now, I am not going to specify, but the public sector will come strong, hence, this public declaration, below.

Then, let us just say if the majority will be able to find, let alone build a legal team, because, um, ya know, some of the top law firms have a history of dropping those pesky congressional lawsuits about those Executive Orders constitutionality stuff, I would, being quite pragmatic, say that, just on this "Registered-BLM-Gay-Jewish-Muslim-Nazi-Mass-Deportation-Database" funding component, oh, and the current condition of SCOTUS lacking a Justice, it may take about a year for the case just to hit for orals.

OYEZ, baby, oh, yes.

Main stream media will have the opportunity to make amends with all the horrifically filtered, asymmetrically constructed 2016 campaign coverage.

This is my public declaration, in which it is my pray that The Congress call upon these fraudfeasors, to testify at hearings, on the pattern and practice of manipulating the public record for the sole purpose of personal inurement, through the stripping of the right to vote.

The Wikileaks Podesta files contains a neat lil' list of all the anchors who need to be called in front of Congress about how their play-play distorted the historic record.

See, what public may not know is that everything the media puts out, ya %0.000000000000000000001 error rating, ya know, they were all into those sampling biased polls which would have garnered a political science graduate program grade of  ridicule and expulsion, well, ya know, is copyright, ya know, registered with the U.S. Library of Congress, ya know, that lil franking, © , federal seal which represents a constitutional agreement that, yup, "it's mine and I made money off that crap", and you idiots actually voted because of it.

Even the idiots in the Congress followed the "advice and counsel" of main stream media.

Not only was the historic, public record manipulated, but also was the honor of those who have served elected office.

Remember, the political majority, well, actually it was mostly Trump,  made sure to let the entire world know that the media was biased.

So, not only was the media biased, it is alleged it violated constitutional law in the suppression of free speech, which is another whole other legal argument.

More jobs in the legal communities of constitutional and civil rights law will be generated, based upon the proposed Trump Administrative policies introduced..

Yes, the election was rigged and .must be properly, pro forma, of course, as previously announced by President Trump, in the proper jurisdictions, <=== notice the plurality of the "s" (pun intended), of The Congress and The Court.

The DNC Sucks and we all know why thanks to Guccifer 2.0. and the NSA, and all the other foreign nationals who moving, quiet quickly towards global, economic peace via this election.

Now, look at all the possible legal and technical jobs to be created in the realms of intellectual property, which will be created through the proposed polices of the Trump Administration,

#DrainTheSwamp

Gotta keep the public record constitutional through those checks and balance, ya know, you guys asked for through the last two terms of the Obama Administration.

People like consistency and drama, ya know.

Perhaps, just perhaps, that is why the FBI Director, James Comey, did not recommend any legal action pertaining to the Hillary Clinton, well, ya know, let us just call it a situation we are waiting to play out, because some staffers, appointed, in the FBI may have been on her proverbial payroll, which may mean that, once again, the historic record has been historically manipulated by providing fraudulent advice for the purposes of political and person inurement for the Clintons.

Leave my FBI Director Jimmy Comey, ALONE!!!

Just replace Brittany Spears' name with James Comey. 

' He is a human!!  He has been through so  much!!  We were just another Clinton victim

of lies that made us lie, again,  into the public, historic record, to promulgate  recommendations for  no indictments, even though there are multi-jursdictional, concurrent investigations on how and why Hillary lied to us.  Leave Jimmy alone!!!!  

(I love my #Superfans)

All I am saying is that it looks like we are about to have a whole lot of fun witnessing the ultimate epic battle between the political majority and SCOTUS, or .as I have to call it, "the battle of wits", where the rules are strictly: F.R.C.P,;  U.S.C, and other such codes and statutes.

No Bibles, allowed.

Remember, SCOTUS is short one Justice, which means any legislation and/or policy promoting the political agenda outlined in the ACLU public declaration to litigate, will make the highest court in the land, the one where the majority down right refused to confirm the SCOTUS appointment, docket constipated, oh, and the court's agenda, too, that ain't nothin' gonna be done in relation to the subsequent proposed policies and the Trump Administration, that nothing will probably get down during the 4-year term.

Michigan Senator Curtis Hertel, Jr. Speaks On Detroit Public Schools Funding Failure

Detroit Public Schools may be the only school district in the state without certified teachers and deplorable school buildings.

I have seen CPS remove children for lesser safety offenses, yet, the state will do nothing to protect the children.

But, fear not, there is a plan and thy name is privatization.

What is even scarier is that not one of "The Elected Ones" has spoken out upon privatization.

The Governor will sign the Bill and we shall watch the end of Public Schools as we know it because Michigan is the socio-economic policy experiment of the nation.

Puerto Rico To Meet Michigan's Emergency Manager Law 2.0

Looks like Puerto Rico is about to get an Emergency Manager, so the socio-economic experiment of privatization has hit level 2.0.

This is going to be very interesting as there is political discussion of an unelected body taking over the democratic process of a geo-political region already on the table in multiple Bills.

First it was a state, the State of Michigan, to be specific, taking over financially stressed city child welfare programs, including the public schools, then graduated to taking over municipalities, now there is the United States of America taking over a Territory, which, of course, is not fully afforded inclusive participation in the democratic process of national elections.

Makes ya wonder when Privatization 3.0 is going to be launched.

Level 3.0 is already on the books and it is called receivership, but for the federal government to take receivership of an entire state is something which has yet to happen.

Yes, it is true that the feds have taken receivership of a city and even departments within the executive branch of a state government, but never before have the feds taken receivership of an entire state.

What's next?  The U.S. taking over another nation starting by global non-profits setting up shop in child welfare initiatives?

Privatization sounds like the new imperialistic morality parade and is much more peaceful and compassionate alternative to that barbaric thing called war.

Besides, look at the profitable returns these social impact bonds will generate!  (sarcasm intentional)

This is why I am sitting here, eating my popcorn, watching intently, waiting for the next big wave of backdoor political drama, because issues such as privatization, gets swept under rugs of main stream media, and rightfully so, they are stakeholders, to be explained at a later date.

These trends are easy to spot if one follows path to privatization which I have been clearing for the world to see.

Just remember, this all began with child welfare, and this is nothing but chattel law, revisiting the ultra vires over human capital.

Hispanic lawmakers face painful decision on Puerto Rico

Hispanic lawmakers are sharply divided over what to do about Puerto Rico's debt crisis.

 PuertoRico's delegate to Congress and several members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus have begrudgingly endorsed a House bill backed by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) It's far from sufficient, they say, but the only viable option to help the island avoid a catastrophic default.

Reps. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), though, are opposing the bill and seeking changes that could cost Republican support and blow up months of arduous negotiations.

Each side insists it’s putting the Puerto Rican people above political ambitions in a fight that dwells on the contentious and, for many, painful issue of the island's territorial status.

"This is not about winning or losing. This is about taking a principled position for the people of Puerto Rico,” Gutierrez told reporters Thursday. “People didn't send me here, to the Congress of the United States, to roll over and play dead."

The Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act — called PROMESA, from the Spanish word for “promise — cleared the House Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday. It establishes a seven-person oversight board that will decide how to restructure Puerto Rico’s more than $70 billion in debt.

The bill is the result of months of deliberations between House leaders, the White House and Treasury Department. Negotiators had to balance Democratic concerns about the control board’s power and Republican concerns about protecting bondholders and Puerto Rico’s long-term fiscal health.

Despite deep reservations, Hispanic lawmakers who back the bill say there is no other option. Puerto Rico's shrinking economy, crumbling infrastructure and the mass emigration of the island's residents is too dangerous to go unaddressed, they argue.

“When measured against a perfect bill, this legislation is inadequate. When measured against the worsening crisis in Puerto Rico, this legislation is necessary,’ said Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) a caucus member and top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee.

Hispanic Caucus Chairwoman Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) said she expected a majority of the caucus to support it, but said members “have to weigh, does the good in the bill outweigh the bad?”

The bill sailed through the Natural Resources Committee with wide bipartisan support, but the Obama administration is paying close to Hispanic lawmakers ahead of a likely floor vote next month.

Antonio Weiss, a top aide to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, briefed the caucus on the bill Thursday, and members said they’ve received personal calls from Lew.

“Freshman year members of Congress don’t usually get calls from the Secretary of Treasury,” said first-term Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), who supports the bill.

Gallego said he still has concerns about the makeup of the control board, a worry shared by many Democrats. Even so, conversations with Lew, other administration figures and Puerto Rican officials convinced him to give the bill “a fighting chance.”

“I just couldn’t let my personal political ideology stand in the way of relief for 3.5 million people when there was no other option,” said Gallego. “And I hate that I got put in this position, but this is sometimes things that happen in politics.”

The oversight board is the most contentious issue for many Hispanic lawmakers, including Gutierrez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, and Menendez. They worry about an unelected body armed with the power to override the Puerto Rican government.

Those concerns reflect decades of tension over Puerto Rico’s territorial status. Menendez called the bill “blatant colonialism,” while Gutierrez insisted that reporters identify the island as “a colony of the United States.”

That tension is openly apparent and personal within the caucus.

Puerto Rico’s non-voting delegate to Congress, Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi (D), supports the bill. He says the oversight board is hard to support “personally and politically,” but a necessary evil to get the bill through Congress.

“Puerto Rico has not ceded or lost anything, because we have never had sovereignty,” said Pierluisi, a gubernatorial candidate who supports statehood for Puerto Rico.

Gutierrez, who supports Puerto Rican independence, implied that Pierluisi supports the bill so he can pave a path to statehood.

"You think you're going to have statehood declaring Puerto Rico bankrupt?,” said Gutierrez. "That's always the problem with politicians. They put their own personal ambitions and political ideology ahead of the political framework."

Pierluisi's office hit back at Gutierrez's remarks.

"As Puerto Rico’s only elected representative in Congress, Mr. Pierluisi is focused entirely on what is best for his constituents. He believes that while PROMESA is not perfect, it is indispensable, which is why he is fighting for its passage," said spokeswoman Dennise Perez.

"He has absolutely no time or desire to respond to petty personal comments made by others." 

Hispanic lawmakers also have concerns about a provision in the bill allowing Puerto Rico’s governor to lower the minimum wage.

Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rob Bishop (R-Utah.) blocked an amendment offered by caucus member Rep. Norma Torres (D-Calif.) to remove that language.

“There is no question that Puerto Rico will need to make sacrifices, but it can’t do so on the backs of these hard-working, young American citizens,” said Torres, who voted “present” at the markup. 

Adding to the pressure Hispanic lawmakers feel is the clock, with Puerto Rico facing a massive $2 billion debt payment on July 1. Some are convinced the bill can't be changed in time.

U.S. House Passes 3 Amendments By Rep. Conyers To Defense Spending Bill To Protect Civilians From Dangers Of Arming And Training Foreign Forces

WASHINGTON— Late yesterday evening, the U.S. House of Representatives considered H.R. 2685, the “Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2015.”  During consideration of the legislation, Congressman John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.) and Congressman Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) offered bipartisan amendments to block the training of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi paramilitary militia “Azov Battalion,” and to prevent the transfer of shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles—otherwise known as Man-Portable Air-Defense Systems (MANPADS)—to Iraq or Ukraine.

Dean of the U.S. House
of Representatives
John Conyers, Jr.

“If there’s one simple lesson we can take away from US involvement in conflicts overseas, it’s this: Beware of unintended consequences.  As was made vividly clear with U.S. involvement in Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion decades ago, overzealous military assistance or the hyper-weaponization of conflicts can have destabilizing consequences and ultimately undercut our own national interests,” said Rep. John Conyers.  “I am grateful that the House of Representatives unanimously passed my amendments last night to ensure that our military does not train members of the repulsive neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, along with my measures to keep the dangerous and easily trafficked MANPADs out of these unstable regions.”

Ukraine’s Azov Battalion is a 1,000-man volunteer militia of the Ukrainian National Guard that Foreign Policy Magazinehas characterized as “openly neo-Nazi,” and “fascist.”  Ukraine’s Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, who oversees Ukraine’s armed militias, announced that Azov troops would be among the first units to be trained by the Pentagon in Operation Fearless Guardian, prompting significant international concern.

Since their initial use on a battlefield in 1978, MANPAD attacks have resulted in nearly 1,000 civilian deaths.

Added Conyers, “Both U.S. and Israeli officials have feared that these weapons could be used by terrorists to bring down commercial jets.  As the boundaries are increasingly blurred between insurgents fighting the Syrian government and those fighting the Iraqi government, providing additional arms could further destabilize the Middle East.  The same can be said for Ukraine, where an anti-aircraft missile allegedly downed Flight MH17 last September, killing 298 civilians. The possibility that MANPADS—or any weapon—could fall into the hands of radical groups in Iraq, Syria, or Ukraine, would unquestionably increase the already-devastating human toll in both of these volatile regions.”

According to Reuters, The Azov battalion originated from a paramilitary national socialist group called "Patriot of Ukraine", which propagated slogans of white supremacy, racial purity, the need for authoritarian power and a centralized national economy. Azov’s controversial founder, Andriy Biletsky, organized the neo-Nazi group the Social-National Assembly (SNA) in 2008.

“The Azov men use the neo-Nazi Wolfsangel (Wolf’s Hook) symbol on their banner and members of the battalion are openly white supremacists, or anti-Semites,” wrote The Telegraph.  Since Azov was enrolled as a regiment of Ukraine's National Guard in September and started receiving increased supplies of heavy arms, however, Biletsky has toned down his rhetoric, Reuters reported. According to the Washington Post, battalion members “could potentially strike pro-Russian targets on their own — or even turn on the [Ukrainian] government” if it pursues a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
