GO BLUE: Predictive Modelling Crappers Share Their Child Welfare Gerrymandering False Claims Methodologies For Stealin' Children, Land & Votes

Image may contain: text

Look at this shit.

This is straight up, forced migration operations.

This is how they predict to redraw voting districts.

This is gerrymandering by navigating population flows through Michigan’s privatized child welfare and juvenile justice systems.

This is forecasting due process by generating mutational algorithms to privatize the justice system and determine the statistical likelihood that one will be poor, or rather, "abused and neglected".

This is predictive modeling crap and I am going to prove it.

These people are doing quantitative variables of how much money they can make off these kids in econometrics, you know, to maximize revenues, to generate the best interests of the child in financial forecasts of Social Impact Bonds by co-signing and hustling their crap as policy for the State of Michigan through the Department of Health and Human Services and State Court Administrative Office.

Yes, this is a Public Private Partnership, where we have no freaking clue as to what they do with the data, other than lobby it through their publications that say they are the experts because they came up with this crap all by themselves.

 These people have data sets for the double jacket populations, or rather kids who are in foster care and juvenile justice at the same time, you know, like they were doing for years in Wayne County under the "Bill Smith, Will Smith" model where they change the first name of the kid, then copy and paste the data into another child welfare program.

They are doing live, human subject research on "The Poors" through predictive modeling crap, because this is Evolutionary Psychology.

Lifeboat Foundation - Children's Trusts

They have full access to all the data.

Your medical records, education, legal history, family history, then they predict on which program they come up with to bill Medicaid they can make off you when they assign all your rights over to the corporate parent.

They even have your social data.

These people have full access to all our state and local meshed systems information and they do it through those Public Private Partnerships, which are a just a Gordian Knot of what they like to call corporate layering, through complex financial fraud schemes.

Think about that, organ donor data, blood bank data, DNA, RNA, even voting data.

These assholes have already linked through Microsoft with the county register of deeds offices so they can do a click of the button transfer of property and taxes.

U of M runs the land bank studies that come up with this is civil asset forfeiture to the trust under the corporate parent for the civil debt of being poor, more intuitively understood as economic eugenics under chattel law.

 They redistrict neighborhoods through CPS and you can look at Grand Rapids zip codes and generational cohorts.

Look at the Wayne County Property Tax Foreclosures fore 2016 and what these Predictive Modeling Crappers call "abuse and neglect".

This is modern human trafficking, a residual of the peculiar institution.

This is forced migration, a crime of war and they promulgated to "The Elected Ones" to cover up their nefarious activities they call maximizing revenues.

They groom their legislative spokestokens.

You will not find one whisper of missing data, researcher bias, dirty data, or straight up fraud, well documented in legal actions, audits, and media on the Michigan Child Welfare System.

What these Predictive Modeling Crappers are trying to do is to take over the world, one kid at a time.

There is not single peep about what went on in Detroit or Flint, yet they publish their findings on why the state needs to pump more money to make more laws to privatize more programs they come up with to make kids learn better without acknowledging the massive foreclosures or federal investigations addressing the manufactured child poverty, homelessness, blight and child trafficking that makes it hard for a kid to learn.

That means they are all working together because I believe Nancy Edmunds is done presiding over this matter and is about to hand off to federal oversight.

There is no verification that these data are not from fake identities because we know they are.


There is no passion nor human compassion in predictive modeling because the individuals who purport this crap of controlling humans do not even come from the United States and are a very, very, very twisted group of individuals when it comes to their personal time.

You heard me.

I bet I could run a very simple regression to show a perfect correlation between rates of child removals and redistricting.

Oh, wait, I already did.

I formally enter these Predictive Modeling Crappers and their work into the public record as more evidence of false claims.

How can you even construct your models when you know damn well your data are not just corrupt, but fake?

This research is a false claim.

This is treason.
  1. They cheat the government out of money or property;  They steal the children;
  2. They interfere or obstruct legitimate Government activity; or They steal the land;
  3. They make wrongful use of a governmental instrumentality. They steal the vote.
I see you, Psychobaby.

CHILD AND ADOLESCENT ANALYTICS

Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and State Court Administrative Office

The Child and Adolescent Data Lab is working to better understand how children and adolescent move through (and at times between) the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. To do this, the Child and Adolescent Data Lab is partnering with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the State Court Administrative Offices. A primary objective of this work is to move beyond simple population counts and estimates. Through the sharing of individual (de­identified) records starting in 2009, the Child and Adolescent Data Lab will develop data visualizations that capture important system indicators at the State and individual county levels. Topic specific research briefs will also be developed to help guide policy and practice decisions. Specifically, the Child and Adolescent Data Lab will look at:
  1. Maltreatment in substitute care settings rape, torture, drugging, suicide, murder
  2. Transition to adulthood and the Michigan voluntary foster care program homelessness, human trafficking, institutionalization
  3. Population flow through Michigan’s child welfare and juvenile justice systems rates of child poverty
  4. Initial offending patterns and recidivism in juvenile court access to mental health
  5. Disproportionate minority contact (DMC) Targeted populations
  6. Adolescents simultaneously or sequentially open in child welfare and juvenile justice (crossover youth) double-billing, phantom services, false claims
After they steal the children, they merge their other predictive modeling crap to steal the land, which redraws the districts to steal the votes.

Oh, The Possibilities - The New Michigan Court Asset Forfeiture Privatization Schemes For The Poors

Boy, just when you think these people could not come up with any more ways of implementing asset forfeiture schemes on "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth), the  "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) have, once again, failed to shock me.

So, from what I have gathered, an individual is now legally obligated to to pay operational and administrative court costs, above and beyond the court fees and penalties, for the purposes of sustainability of the courts to continue to assess more operational and administrative court costs, above and beyond the court fees and penalties....

With that illogical tautology said, what exactly do you think happens when one does not have the financial resources to pay their portion of the courtroom light bill?

Asset forfeiture proceedings!

Yes, that is correct.

The court will file up to get that certified judgment to file up a lien on your property, if you own a home, that is.

Then, the courts could, if they wanted to, file a quiet title, or probably just initiate foreclosure proceedings through the counties, where the properties will go up for sheriff auctions because you know "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth) have no money, or access to funding, or even credit, being poor and all, to even redeem the property, that is if it even goes through this process, and become part of the many land banks of Michigan.

Or, the state could just snatch the property through a conveyance to a state trust, or something.

Oh, the possibilities of asset forfeiture!

Since this seems to have originated from the Michigan State Court Administrative Office, the Madame Maura Corrigan's old playground, I am just going to go out there and say that the model came out of child welfare.

Yes, they do the same thing in child welfare.

If you cannot pay the court costs for a Child Protective Services case, they will proceed with Termination of Parental Rights based on the failure to provide for the necessary needs of the child [code for "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth)].

So much for those civil rights legacies because you know darn well the SCAO is going to farm out the entire operation as a Public Private Partnership.

Enjoy the choices of machination when it comes to constructing another one of those crafty artifices when it comes to Michigan fraud schemes of asset forfeiture.

Think of all the leveraging that can be done once the properties are patented!

And never forget the gerrymandering stripping voting rights possibilities for the 2020 election.

Case could upset a key source of cash for local courts

Detroit – The Michigan Supreme Court is hearing a dispute over $1,611. The result, however, will carry a much higher price, impacting millions of dollars now raked in from criminal defendants who must pay to keep the heat turned up, the air conditioners humming and the floors waxed in local courts all over the state.

The Legislature and Gov. Rick Snyder have given local governments sweeping authority to put a portion of court operating costs on the backs of people convicted of crimes, often the poor. The question for the Supreme Court on Monday is whether the law is an illegal tax.

Counties, prosecutors and the attorney general’s office are urging the Supreme Court to keep the money flowing. On the other side is an alliance of defense lawyers and judges who call the practice unconstitutional. Many District Court judges, who are on the front line of Michigan’s justice system, handling traffic tickets and drunken-driving cases, say they’re pressured to hit financial targets or face consequences, including cuts in staff.

“Judges who determine innocence or guilt of an individual, with the ability to impose jail, should not be forced to think about bringing in finances for the court and county from these defendants,” said Maria Ladas Hoopes, a judge at Muskegon County’s District Court, who calls it an “inherent ethical dilemma.”

Thomas Boyd, a District Court judge in Ingham County, said he’s comfortable with crimes carrying financial penalties.

“But there’s a difference between someone paying for their poor choice and paying to keep the lights on,” he said. “The question is: Can we create a system where that isn’t directly related to keeping the lights on in the courthouse?”

The case at the Supreme Court involves Shawn Cameron Jr., who was convicted of assault in Washtenaw County. As part of his sentence, he was ordered to pay $1,611 in court costs, based on a local formula that included a 10-year average of the Circuit Court’s budget and an average number of felony cases.

The law is broadly written. When computing costs, courts can consider staff salaries, services necessary to operate the court and maintenance expenses. Courts and local governments don’t have to charge anyone, but the money is hard to resist.

“It is an unconstitutional tax because it is set by the courts, rather than the Legislature, and set in an undefined amount. … Criminal defendants are not a special class of citizens who must bear the expenses of government by means of a higher tax imposed on them alone,” said Cameron’s lawyer, Marilena David-Martin.

About $80 million was collected statewide in 2016 and 2017, with 80 percent coming from hundreds of thousands of District Court cases, according to the State Court Administrative Office.

The Michigan Association of Counties argues that criminal defendants simply are paying a “user fee,” not a tax. The group compared the cost to a homeowner who puts out two trash cans instead of one and is charged more than a neighbor.

“Those who are convicted have, by their wrongful conduct, imposed expenses on the justice system, which in fairness should be at least partially charged to their accounts,” attorney Mattis Nordfjord said in a filing at the Supreme Court.

Coincidentally, the case comes at a time when Michigan is studying possible changes to how courts are funded. Led by Boyd, the 14-member commission has been hearing from experts across the country and diving into data. Recommendations are due by next September, but lawmakers and the next governor might need advice sooner, depending on the outcome of the Supreme Court case.

“Our recommendations are going to be about values and public safety, not necessarily about how to generate the most cash from every interaction with law enforcement. That’s not what anybody should want,” Boyd said.

Michigan Is Trying To Get Its Contracting Act Together

Here is a link to the most recently released Michigan Auditor General Follow Up Report on Department of Human Services Contracting.

It seems the state is trying to get itself together, but I still have serious questions surrounding child welfare services, which is classified as a different division.  As a matter of fact, it was the illustrious Bill Johnson of Michigan's Children Institute that was dabbling in the black art of child welfare contracting.

Please keep in mind as you read this report that the state still, to this day, has no mechanism of referral to the Attorney General if it is suspect of violations of material provisions of federal and state law or policy.

Here is a laundry list of what the state refuses to adopt and implement in child welfare services policy and its Medicaid Fraud Control Unit:

No contactual debarment


No license revocation


No sanctions


No recovery mechanism


No comparative rate policy


No bidding

Michigan Adopts Transparency and Accountability

It is always easy to stand up and complain, but it is more honorable to create and present solutions. Michigan has stood up to take a leadership role in transparency and accountability in child welfare through information technology.

This pilot program is only the first step, breaking grounds to erect a national edifice to end fraud, waste and abuse in child welfare.

I cannot hail the work of the Michigan State Court Administrative Offices, Department of Human Services, and Department of Community Health enough on this initiative.

This centralized database has so many future implications and applications, the most important being the dismantling of the archaic Michigan Children's Institute, because I am sure the Superintendent would not grant the state consent to this adoption. Let's come together as a nation and help Michigan raise its two newly adopted children, Transparency and Accountability.

Congratulations, Michigan, Welcome to the 21st Century! Bravissimo!! And thank you, Ingenix!!!

Michigan State Government Uses Technology to Enhance Child Protection Services


LANSING, Mich. & EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Two branches of Michigan state government are sharing information and using advanced analytics to better protect and care for children in a program slated to expand this year.
The State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) and the Michigan Department of Human Services (MDHS) have piloted a program in Genesee, Saginaw and Livingston counties aimed at measuring and improving performance and accountability in cases involving child abuse, neglect, foster care, adoption, and legal guardianship among the 16,000 children enrolled in child welfare services in Michigan. The program will expand to include additional performance measures this year.
The goal is to improve children’s safety, health and living situation stability – known as “permanency” – and to improve compliance with due process and timeliness in the court’s disposition of cases.
Both agencies are working in partnership with Ingenix, a leading health information, technology and consulting company, which is developing the analytics and performance measurements for the program. SCAO and MDHS data are included in Michigan’s statewide data warehouse – one of the most comprehensive in the nation – which serves as the informational and analytical backbone for the project.
“This collaboration with MDHS and the use of advanced technologies will help us achieve our ultimate goal of improving the lives of Michigan’s children,” said State Court Administrator Carl Gromek. “Our goal is to do a better job protecting the children in our care, who may be in an abusive or neglectful environment, by measuring our performance and prioritizing the areas that need improvement most.”
“We’re pleased to work with SCAO on this ambitious effort,” said DHS Director Ismael Ahmed. “It’s an excellent example of working not only across agencies, but across branches of government, to achieve a worthwhile goal – in this case, doing everything we can to protect children.”
The specific performance measurements, 62 in all, are based on recommendations in a white paper titled Building a Better Court: Measuring and Improving Court Performance and Judicial Workload in Child Abuse and Neglect Cases, published jointly by the American Bar Association’s Center of Children and the Law, the National Center for State Courts, and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges.
The measurements are divided into five areas:
  • Safety: To ensure that children are safe from abuse and neglect while under court jurisdiction
  • Permanency: To ensure that children have stability and permanency in their living situations
  • Due Process: To ensure that cases are dealt with impartially and based on evidence before the court
  • Timeliness: To enhance the “expedition to permanency” by minimizing the time from filing of the petition to take jurisdiction over the child to permanency
  • Well-being: To examine and address factors other than safety and permanency that relate to a child’s future welfare. There are specific measures within this area that focus on physical health, mental health, and special education needs.
The Michigan program has been in the pilot stage for the past year. So far nine of the 62 measures for Genesee, Saginaw and Livingston counties have been completed. The nine measures, compiled from data already stored on the data warehouse, will be expanded during 2010. SCAO’s Child Welfare Services (CWS) division was awarded a federal Court Improvement Program (CIP) grant to help fund the project.
Measurements in the five areas provide officials with the opportunity to improve performance in very specific ways. For example, the “Timeliness” category measurements include: “Number of days from initial petition to adjudication” of court cases, and “number of hours from initial complaint intake to the commencement of the investigation.” The “Permanency” measurements include: “number of placement changes each child has had during each foster care episode;” and “number of children who are dismissed from court jurisdiction at age 18 and over and have two or more of the following within 6 months of emancipation,” with the choices that follow including high school diploma/GED, steady employment, housing, entering college or trade-school, and several others. “Well-being” measurements include “percentage of cases where children are placed together” and “percentage of children with identified health needs receiving services to address the need.”
The program is already delivering results. For example, from late 2008 through August of 2009, the State increased family reunifications 34 percent among temporary court wards (TCW). This is a group of children who were identified in a Michigan children’s rights lawsuit as having remained in the system for one year or longer. By combining the “timeliness” and “permanency” measures, the State can identify and work on reuniting children with their families, thereby bringing them to a more permanent living situation faster.
“Michigan has once again shown its national leadership by using advanced technologies to address pressing societal issues – in this case, the protection of children,” said Shelby Solomon, executive vice president, commercial and government health plan solutions at Ingenix. “We are pleased to be part of this breakthrough initiative that facilitates collaboration between two branches of Michigan’s government to conduct the analysis necessary to improve the well-being of these children.”
Michigan began its work with Ingenix in 1994 with the creation of the nation’s first Medicaid data warehouse to monitor claims for quality of care, overpayment and fraud/abuse. Since then, Ingenix and Michigan have worked closely to expand the data warehouse to include information from most of the state’s largest programs, agencies and departments, including SCAO, MDHS, and the State’s Department of Community Health (MDCH).
