An Open Letter to Detroit Mayoral Candidate Benny Napoleon: From 8 Mile to the River

I support Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon for becoming Detroit’s next mayor because he is the sheriff and has been Detroit’s police chief.  A law enforcement background will become important in the days ahead.  Let’s review my earlier posts:

1. I live in Detroit, Michigan, USA, Planet Earth.  I share this planet with approximately 7 billion other human beings.  My planet is part of a galaxy in which the nearest star, the sun, is in solar maximum.  During solar maximum, the spots on the sun shoot off flares that could cause solar storms on Earth. Right now, the sun is quiet, but it may be the quiet before storm.
2. Earth is overdue for a solar super-storm.  Such a solar super-storm could knock out satellites, gas pipelines, and electrical transformers.  When electrical transformers are knocked out, they take months and years to build and replace, so the power grid goes into an extended blackout.
3. The first danger of an extended blackout is that many municipal water systems, including Detroit’s, depend on electricity to pump and clean water.  Without electrical power to clean the water, cities are at risk of outbreaks of potentially deadly diseases.
4. The second danger of an extended blackout is that water and the power grid is needed to cool down nuclear reactors.  Without the water and electrical power, the nuclear reactors could meltdown.  Populations within 50 miles of a nuclear reactor should be evacuated to prevent exposing residents to nuclear fallout.
5. More than 120 million Americans live within 50 miles of a nuclear reactor.  Detroit is less than 50 miles from the Fermi nuclear plant in Monroe County, Michigan.

Currently, the nuclear safety protocols only call for evacuation of residents within a 10 mile radius of a major nuclear reactor emergency.  However, what I want from Detroit’s mayor, and Detroit’s first responders, is that when a major nuclear emergency happens, declare a mandatory evacuation for Detroit.  All of Detroit.  Not just Downtown.  Not just Midtown.  Not just Palmer Woods or Indian Village of the other exclusive neighborhoods, but evacuate from the river to 8 Mile.  (I am one of those residents who live near the city’s border at 8 Mile.) Don’t wait for the President, the Governor, or even the Emergency Manager to save us, because the solar storm will affect the satellites responsible for communications and navigation. You save us! And as you protect and serve all of us, not just some of us, may God protect you. Of course, part of protection is wisdom and emergency preparedness, so money should be allocated to for first responders to have the proper nuclear radiation protection gear.

Now, to quickly address Detroit’s financial problems:

Detroit need not be bankrupt.  Wayne County need not go bankrupt.  This solution takes courage, but it is simple.  Sue the banks.

Why?

Property values in Detroit are approximately 10-20% of what they were 10 years ago.  Many properties went into foreclosure, either because residents lost their jobs or their mortgages were drastically underwater that it made more financial sense to move elsewhere rather than stay. In Michigan, who does the nonjudicial foreclosure sales?  The sheriff.

What happened to all the thousands of properties that were foreclosed, the banks now own the properties, but the banks couldn’t sell them?  Many bank-owned properties are now abandoned, stripped of metal, and burned out.  Did the banks pay the taxes?  Did they demolish the eye sores?  Or did they just walk away? But they got a $700 billion bailout from the federal government because they were “too big to fail”.  Did they fail us?

It wasn’t just mismanagement that put Detroit or Wayne County in its financial mess.  The root word of bankruptcy is bank.

Would such a lawsuit succeed?  I don’t know.  But we owe it to the city workers, especially the first responders we expect to protect and serve us in a disaster, to try and protect their pensions.

Detroit is also too big to fail.

Lawsuits are potentially slow money, but with bigger payoffs. Faster money may be realized by Detroit keeping its water and sewage departments, but saving costs by eliminating fluoride from the water supply. Everyone’s teeth won’t fall out. In fact, fluoride is a neurotoxin, and it damages health beyond the brain. It is absorbed by the brain more than the teeth.

Eliminating fluoride from the water supply may have the added benefit of decreasing crime, decreasing drug dependency, and increasing academic achievement. Eliminating the fluoride chemical from the water department’s budget would result in an immediate savings of millions of dollars. The millions saved could then be allocated to fund the pensions. Be warned: With fluoride out of the water, people will be smarter, healthier, and less violent. That means they may live longer.

If these ideas are implemented, then Detroit’s bankruptcy case could be dismissed. Detroit would still have an emergency manager for a year afterwards. We would still have to keep him from looting the city. Detroit’s jewels go beyond the world-class treasures in the Detroit Institute of Arts. Detroit’s jewels go beyond its parks and water department. Detroit’s jewels go from 8 Mile to the river. All of our jewels mean the world to us, and all of our jewels deserve our protection.

Tuesday, August 6, 2013 is not just another election. Don’t let the bankruptcy and emergency manager situation discourage you from voting. Your voice. Your choice. Counts!

Tip for Title Insurers

The tip for title insurers is to stop insuring title for Oakland County real estate that has a sheriff deed signed between April 1, 2009-December 31, 2012. Why? Because Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard rigged a contract to go to some of his friends who also happened to be deputies at the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. This violated Michigan law regarding employee conflict of interest and federal law regarding conspiracy and perjury before a federal judge. The evidence was part of an Oakland County Circuit Court case, New Jerusalem Deliverance Church v. Evangelical Christian Credit Union, case number 11-119411-CH, Judge Daniel Patrick O’Brien presiding. The case is currently on appeal, COA case number 309571.

In summary, New Jerusalem is arguing that the sheriff deed foreclosing upon its Pontiac church building is invalid because the sheriff deed was signed by a special deputy who was not properly appointed by the sheriff.

• The special deputy who signed their sheriff deed was Thomas Rabette, an attorney. Prior to 2009, Rabette served as a marine special deputy.

• In early January 2009, Rabette was the attorney who filed the articles of incorporation for American Process Service, Inc., (APS). John Roehrig was the incorporator, but Rabette’s wife, Judith Boaks, a CPA, was the registered agent for APS.

• Later in January 2009, the contract for civil processing for the sheriff’s office went up for bid. The new company, APS, won the bid.

• Sheriff Bouchard and the chairman of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners in April 2009, Bill Bullard, signed the contract. Usually, for a chairperson to sign a contract on behalf of the entire group of elected officials, the group must vote on the contract. New Jerusalem argued that Michigan’s conflict of interest laws required that the elected officials approve the contract via a 2/3 vote recorded in the minutes of a noticed public meeting. Nowhere in the 2009 minutes of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners is recorded a vote on the civil process servicing contract.

• In 2010, APS submitted an annual report that lists Rabette as the registered agent. In addition to John Roehrig, the annual report also lists Rabette and another Oakland County Sheriff’s Office deputy, Roger St. Jean, as officers of APS.

• Thomas Rabette, his wife Judith Boaks, Roger St. Jean and his wife Linda, and John Roehrig each contributed the statutory maximum to Bouchard’s failed gubernatorial campaign. New Jerusalem argued that these campaign contributions served as pay-to-play for Bouchard rigging the civil process service contract to APS. In total, APS officers contributed $17,000 to Mike Bouchard’s 2010 campaign to become the governor of Michigan.

• New Jerusalem therefore argued before Judge O’Brien and on appeal that, not only did Bouchard and Bullard misappropriate millions in taxpayers’ funds, but that the sheriff deed is invalid because Oakland County’s civil process servicing contract with APS is null and void. By implication, all the Oakland County foreclosure sales since 2009 are invalid if APS employees conducted the sheriff sale.

• New Jerusalem accused Thomas Rabette of committing perjury before federal judge Robert H. Cleland in an affidavit submitted in New Jerusalem’s predecessor federal case, case #10-cv-12566. In Rabette’s affidavit, he said that he was never contemporaneously employed by both the sheriff’s office and American Process Service. Rabette’s affidavit contradicts Bouchard’s April 1, 2009 appointments in which Rabette was appointed both a reserve special deputy employed by the sheriff’s office and a civil process service special deputy employed by American Process Service.

Of course, I wouldn’t expect title insurers to deny insurance coverage for an entire county’s foreclosed properties without proof of the cloud in the chain of titles. Moreover, if title insurers incur any losses due to clouds on title from invalid sheriff deeds, title insurers would need evidence to recover their losses from Rabette’s bond and insurance. 

For a copy of the evidence that is or has been before the courts, title insurers can use the case numbers provided above in order to download the documents from the courts.  Be advised that the courts charge for copies of their documents.  The most complete set of evidence could be found in the Oakland County Circuit Court case.  The link to its website is http://www.oakgov.com/clerkrod/pages/courtexplorer.aspx .  However, Oakland County charges $1.00 per page for court documents.  There are over 300 pages of documents, thus title insurers could pay more than $300 to Oakland County for copies of the documents.  Alternatively, New Jerusalem’s attorney, Arthur C. Kirkland Jr., can provide a digital copy from his work product for $200.  To purchase a copy, please click on the button below.

Title Insurers’ Ebook of Bouchard’s Corruption

Hearing on Evidence that Bouchard & Bullard Misappropriated Oakland County Funds

Pontiac, Michigan – As part of a case to set aside a foreclosure, a Pontiac church submitted evidence to Oakland County Circuit Judge Daniel Patrick O’Brien that Sheriff Mike Bouchard and former Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson Bill Bullard Jr. signed a controversial contract without the approval of the Board of Commissioners. As a result, since April 2009, more than $2.8 million in Oakland County taxpayer funds have been going to American Process Service Inc., without lawful authorization. Bill Bullard Jr. is now the Oakland County Clerk and Register of Deeds.

The news about Bouchard and Bullard’s misappropriation of taxpayer funds was first reported on WCHB talk radio journalist Mildred Gaddis’ Morning Show on January 26, 2012. See the write-up of Attorney Arthur C. Kirkland’s interview on the Mildred Gaddis show at http://wchbnewsdetroit.com/detroit/mildredgaddis/public-corruption-in-the-oakland-county-sheriff%E2%80%99s-office-exposed-by-foreclosure-case/

On February 15, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. EST, Judge Daniel Patrick O’Brien will be ruling on the evidence that Sheriff Mike Bouchard and others violated laws that prohibit conflicts of interest, contract bid rigging, pay-to-pay/kickbacks, perjury, misconduct in office, and now, misappropriation of taxpayer funds. This evidence was filed on January 25-27, 2012 in New Jerusalem Deliverance Church v. Evangelical Christian Credit Union, case number 11-119411-CH. The public is invited to attend the hearing that will be held at the Oakland County Circuit Courthouse, 1200 North Telegraph, in Pontiac, Michigan.

Copies of the documents supporting New Jerusalem’s allegations of public corruption are published on http://www.docstoc.com. For more information, please contact Anita Belle, legal assistant to New Jerusalem’s attorney Arthur C. Kirkland Jr., at 313-740-4644.

Corruption in Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Exposed by Church Foreclosure Case

Pontiac, Michigan – Although bad things can happen to good people, Melanie Rutherford is outraged about how corruption in the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office that has impacted Bishop Robert E. Joyce’s church.

“Our church is not just another church in the black community. Life Worship and Training Center is the cornerstone of the community!” she explains.

Melanie then recounts how Bishop Joyce, who is also the senior chaplain for the Detroit Pistons, led marches that closed 27 crack houses in the community. Rutherford asks, “Would the pastor of any other church take his life into his own hands like that? How dangerous would Pontiac if Bishop Joyce’s church is foreclosed out of this building?”

However, while fighting the foreclosure of his church, Bishop Joyce is again rooting out crime in his community by asking Oakland County Circuit Judge Daniel Patrick O’Brien to set aside the sheriff sale because of corruption in the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.

In Oakland County Circuit Court case number 11-119411-CH, New Jerusalem Deliverance Church challenges that the sheriff foreclosure deed signed by Oakland County special deputy Thomas Rabette is invalid. New Jerusalem alleges that:

· On 12/29/2008, Bouchard appointed Thomas Rabette as a marine special deputy.

· On 1/6/2009, Thomas Rabette, who is an attorney, transmitted the Articles of Incorporation for American Process Service Inc. to the State of Michigan Corporations’ division.

· On 1/26/2009, the Michigan Inter-Governmental Trade Network (MITN) published bidding on the civil process service contract for the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.

· The newly-incorporated American Process Service Inc. is awarded the civil process service contract on 4/1/2009. The contract is worth at least $800,000 a year.

· On 4/1/2009, the same day that Bouchard appointed Rabette as a reserve special deputy employed by the Sheriff’s Office, Bouchard also appointed Rabette a civil process service special deputy employed by American Process Service. This violated MCL 15.321et seq., particularly MCL 15.327 that makes it a misdemeanor to violate the public servant conflict of interest statutes. New Jerusalem alleges that if it is a misdemeanor for the public servant to have a conflict of interest, then Bouchard’s appointment of Rabette is invalid and the sheriff deed signed by Rabette is also invalid.

· In 2010, American Process Service filed its annual report with the State of Michigan, listing Thomas Rabette, Roger St. Jean, and John Roehrig as the corporate officers. (In addition to Rabette, there is a pattern of conflict-of-interest corruption because Roger St. Jean, Mike Bouchard’s longtime close friend and personal driver, is another American Process Service corporate officer who is also employed with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.)

· In 2009 and 2010, all of American Process Service’s corporate officers, and their wives, made the maximum allowable contributions to Bouchard’s campaign for governor.

· On 2/1/2011, as part of a federal motion, Rabette committed perjury by stating he was never employed at the same time by both the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office and American Process Service Inc. This affidavit is contradicted by Bouchard’s documented appointments and Rabette’s oaths of office.

Evidence of the above allegations was filed in the New Jerusalem case on 12/27/2011. New Jerusalem will be defending these allegations at a hearing at 8:30 a.m. on January 18, 2012 before Oakland County Circuit Judge Daniel Patrick O’Brien.

New Jerusalem believes that all citizens of Oakland County, including those going through foreclosure, deserve honest government. The sheriff, who is the chief law enforcement officer of the county, cannot be above the law.

The New Jerusalem foreclosure case should not be over-simplified as another deadbeat debtor using or abusing legal loopholes to avoid eviction. The plight of New Jerusalem’s foreclosure is bigger than another class struggle between the haves and the have-nots. To dismiss, wink at, or tolerate deputies’ crimes against the “little guys” in foreclosure gives license for the same deputies to serve and protect themselves rather than the taxpayers who pay their salaries.

Eviction By Any Means Necessary, Including By Invalid Sheriff Deeds

We tell children all the time that one person can make a difference, both for good and for bad.

A person who could be making the difference for bad is Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard. He wanted to be Governor of Michigan. Nothing illegal about that. However, another thing we tell children is that the end doesn’t always justify the means, especially if the means by which you raise campaign finances is through kickbacks from pay-to-play schemes.

The case of New Jerusalem Deliverance Church was published recently. (See link: http://voiceofdetroit.net/?p=7043)

Robert Joyce, Bishop of New Jerusalem Deliverance Church, the 'private attorney general'

An example of one woman making a difference for good is Diane Bukowski. The Voice of Detroit is an independent newspaper that is truly “unbossed and unbought”. In this newspaper, Diane Bukowski published the exclusive scoop that gives hope to everyone who has gone through foreclosure in Oakland County since 2009. She told property owners that the sheriff deed in their foreclosure might be invalid, if the auctioneer who conducted the sheriff sale had a conflict of interest. The New Jerusalem case highlights the potential conflict of interest of Attorney Thomas Rabette.

If the RICO allegations in New Jerusalem’s proposed amended complaint are true, then two people can make a difference, those two people being Thomas Rabette and Sheriff Mike Bouchard. If Rabette was employed with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office when Sheriff Bouchard steered a no-bid contract to a company that Rabette represented as an attorney, and Rabette worked for that company while he was still working for the Sheriff’s Office, then Rabette had a conflict of interest. Michigan law makes it a crime for anyone, including sheriff’s, to have a conflict of interest, so if it was unlawful for Bouchard to authorize Rabette to sign sheriff deeds, then the sheriff deeds Rabette signed are invalid. But the plot thickens: What if Rabette, the company’s other officers, and their wives then all made the statutory maximum political campaign contributions to Bouchard’s bid to become Michigan’s Governor in 2010? Was the contract steering a pay-to-play scheme?

According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Annual Report for 2010, (see link: http://www.oakgov.com/sheriff/assets/docs/OCSO_annualreport2010.pdf there were 8818 foreclosures in 2009 and 9727 in 2010. For the sake of argument, let’s assume that, of the more than 18,000 foreclosures in Oakland County in 2009-2010, Thomas Rabette was the auctioneer for only 10%, or 1800 sheriff sales. According to City-Data, the median value of homes and condos in Oakland County was $186,800. (See link: http://www.city-data.com/county/Oakland_County-MI.html) If Thomas Rabette unlawfully signed the sheriff deeds for 1800 Oakland County properties valued at an average of $186,800 each, then he alone has caused more than $336 million in sheriff deeds to have clouded title. Because federal RICO laws permit civil litigants to sue for triple damages, then the economic impact of Bouchard and Rabette’s alleged pay-to-play scheme potentially exposes Oakland County to more than a billion dollars in liability! If Rabette signed more than 10% of the Oakland County sheriff deeds executed since 2009, then the economic impact of his alleged corruption increases exponentially.

Given Michigan’s fragile economy, the media outlets who are bossed and bought would not want to publicize that millions, if not billions, of dollars in Oakland County titles to banks are clouded due to Bouchard’s corruption. Only Voice of Detroit wants to tell property owners that their rights are being violated!

This is the problem. A big problem! What is the solution? It’s easy to do as federal Judge Robert Cleland seems to have done, to simply turn a blind eye to Sheriff Bouchard’s corruption, and allow people who can’t afford their mortgage to be evicted by any means necessary, including by means of invalid sheriff deeds. The end doesn’t justify the means, particularly if the means require us to compromise our standards of government integrity. You’d think the banks, just as much, (if not more than foreclosed homeowners), would want to put a stop to Bouchard if he is guilty of what New Jerusalem accuses him of. Then, the banks’ sheriff deeds wouldn’t have clouded title. Honest government isn’t a privilege. It’s everyone’s right!

Ultimately, turning a blind eye to corruption costs everyone so much more than $336 million. Even people who don’t live in Oakland County suffer if that county is bankrupted and blighted by unpunished, corrupt politicians. We all pay the price of evil triumphing because good people do nothing. It would be wise of Oakland County to investigate Bouchard and Rabette.

RE: Public Corruption in the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office exposed in New Jerusalem v. Rabette, EDMI case number 10-cv-12566

Dear Ms: McCarthy:

I am a resident of southeastern Michigan and a member (or supporter) of New Jerusalem Deliverance Church. My church is suing the Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard in federal court, yet the civil case has uncovered evidence of public corruption that deserves criminal prosecution by your office.

Sheriff Bouchard outsources the county’s civil process service to a private company. The church’s federal case sought evidence about whether the outsourcing contract was awarded on an exclusive, no bid basis. The judge denied us all discovery, but we found out, from other sources that the three officers of the company donated thousands of dollars to Sheriff Bouchard’s campaign for governor. Is this a kickback for being awarded the contract? In addition, the sheriff and at least one special deputy involved in this contract, namely Thomas Rabette, are breaking Michigan’s conflict of interest laws.

Sheriff Bouchard’s government corruption has cost Oakland County taxpayers and property owners thousands and millions of dollars. Please investigate Sheriff Bouchard and prosecute him and his corrupt deputies to the fullest extent of the law. We would appreciate your office keeping our church updated on the progress of any investigation.

Sincerely,

Ignoring a Corrupt Conflict of Interest

My family is still in our house, thanks to Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans’ failing to sign the special deputy appointment of Sterling Harrison. Actually, my gratitude should go to Judge Robert Ziolkowski for doing the right thing and obeying the law. Other judges turn a blind eye to the law.

Let’s take federal judge Robert Cleland for example. Oh, you thought I was going to mention Detroit’s 36th District Court Judge E. Lynise Bryant-Weekes again? Well, maybe I will: Just because litigants aren’t supposed to have ex-parte communication with the judges doesn’t mean that judges can’t talk to each other. I have no proof, but I imagine that when Judge Ziolkowski, while sitting as an appellate judge over Bryant-Weekes, he remanded our case back to Bryant-Weekes, but she played dumb, asking for clarification of his remand. I imagine his clarification was a phone call giving her a choice to either set aside her order of possession or he will do it by reversing her. Judges have egos. They don’t like to be reversed, so Judge Bryant-Weekes finally set aside the possession judgment to the bank. Now, all I need is three or more Judge Zs over Robert Cleland.

What is Judge Cleland doing now? He is ignoring a corrupt conflict of interest in the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. The Wayne County sheriff deeds were invalid because Sheriff Warren Evans improperly delegated the task of appointing special deputies to his undersheriff. The Michigan statutes don’t grant the sheriff that kind of authority. Maybe Cleland is covering up for fellow Republicans, or fellow freemasons. Whatever the reason for Cleland’s bias, it does not change the fact that Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, a proud Arab American, is proving that corrupt politicians are not segregated south of 8 Mile Road.

Unlike Warren Evans, Mike Bouchard signs his own special deputy appointments, but Bouchard outsourced the task of sheriff sales to a private corporation. Because Judge Cleland denied the black Plaintiffs all discovery, as if participating in a conspiracy to cover up Bouchard’s corruption, it is unknown whether the government contract to the private corporation, American Process Service, Inc., was awarded on an exclusive, no-bid basis. That alone would violate plenty of laws and Constitutional provisions regarding equal opportunity. However, credible evidence shows the following:

1. At least as early as 2008, Bouchard appointed Attorney Thomas Rabette to work for him at the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, because in 2008, Bouchard gave Rabette a commendation as “Reserve Deputy of the Year”.

2. In January 2009, Attorney Rabette filed the American Process Service incorporation papers for John Roehrig, the former Lake Angelus Police Chief.

3. In April 2009, American Process Service, a home business headquartered in Roehrig’s house, was awarded the multi-million dollar civil process contract with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.

4. While Rabette was still working at the Sheriff’s Office, Bouchard appointed Rabette to be a special deputy employed with American Process Service Inc.

This appointment violates Michigan’s conflict of interest laws. Because the appointment violates state law, it should be invalid. If Rabette’s appointment is invalid, then the sheriff deeds executed by Rabette should be invalid. This might make sense to a judge like Robert Ziolkowski, but Judge Cleland seems to need clarification.

Oh, and to add insult to injury, in the 2010 Annual Report filed with the State, Rabette lists himself as secretary and registered agent of the corporation, Roehrig is President, and Roger St. Jean is Treasurer. All three are on the corporation’s board of directors. And all three, Rabette, Roehrig, and Roger St. Jean, (another Sheriff Office and American Process Service dual employee) contributed the maximum to Bouchard’s failed gubernatorial campaign. Rabette and St. Jean’s wives contributed the maximum, also.

Not too shabby, Sheriff Bouchard! That’s one way to finance political campaigns and lots of TV commercials! But didn’t former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick get charged with RICO on evidence like this? Didn’t Kilpatrick’s RICO charge spark the present (as if it ever-ended) city-suburb water war? I’m not afraid to play the race card: In one federal courtroom, black politicians are criminally indicted, but in the same courthouse, Judge Cleland lets white politicians violate state and federal laws with impunity, particularly if the ones complaining about being hurt by government corruption are black property owners. Or maybe this isn’t about black and white. Maybe it’s about Democrats versus Republicans. Or mason versus non-mason.

I wonder if the Oakland County Commission knows about Rabette and St. Jean’s conflict of interest? Or the Michigan Bar? Or the Justice Dept.? Or voters and taxpayers? Shouldn’t Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson know about and correct the corruption in his own glass house before he starts throwing stones at Detroit? If Kilpatrick’s corruption affects water, shouldn’t we care just as much if Bouchard’s corruption affects the land?

A Tribute to Human Rights Activists

Some people may be wondering why a blog about preventing foreclosure would take time out to honor Martin Luther King Jr. and other human rights activists. Because, when homeowners ask lawyers and paralegals to defend their property rights, they are appealing to the human rights activist in these legal professionals. Many legal professionals accept cases for no money or at low retainers (compared to the amount of work involved). The clients might not even know the tribulations and retaliation these unsung legal professionals suffer as “punishment” for their good deeds. It takes a day like Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday for all of us to thank these modern day civil/human rights activists who continue carrying King’s torch.

The day Americans set aside to honor this martyr continues to be relevant, even though Americans have a black President. As I recall one Gospel musical artist saying in a song, “It ain’t over.” The it, which ain’t over, is the violation of civil rights/ human rights.

African-Americans are still the targets of a great deal of racial discrimination, but I will say that what has changed, (or was always true but is now more readily apparent), is that American has gone from a racist to a class-segregated society. What this means is that even whites experience discrimination based upon their perceived class, as illustrated by the insult “poor white trash”. Notice that the trash is poor. Shouldn’t “trashiness” be based upon behavior, not a person’s socioeconomic status? After all, I have seen plenty of trashy behavior exhibited by rich white people. I won’t name names, but think of some of the movie stars who have gone to jail, or rehab, or both.

I want to commend and give a “shout out” to those movie stars, like Don Cheadle and George Clooney, who use their celebrity and socioeconomic status to bring public awareness to the ongoing battle of human rights in wartorn Africa. Some cynics question their motives, as if George Clooney is a CIA-operative with a movie star cover, but I have a different perspective: Because I believe blacks are the biological descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I (and others) have been tracking the parts of Africa where Israelites went into exile after the Northern kingdom was conquered by the Assyrians and the Southern kingdom by the Babylonians and Greco-Romans. The blacks of South Sudan, like the blacks of eastern Nigeria, are now called “Christian”, but their so-called Christianity is really a coverup or code word for their ancient ties to Israel. I appreciate Clooney, Cheadle, Brad Pitt, and everyone else, regardless of race, helping my fellow Israelites.

I am less than a week younger than Martin Luther King Junior’s youngest son, Dexter. We were both only seven years old when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968. Dr. King said in his famous “I Have a Dream” speech the following:

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Dexter, Bernice, Yolanda, and Martin Luther King III.

I hope we are now living in the nation where, at least some of the time, people can be judged by the content of their character. Who are the torchbearers of Martin Luther King’s legacy today? One way of answering that question is by weighing who values life.

I know of a white reporter in Detroit, Diane Bukowski, who has relentless reported about police killings of Detroit’s black citizens, and a black prosecutor, Kym Worthy, who refuses to prosecute the police officers for murder. This prosecutor then prosecuted Diane, as a felon, for photographing and reporting on Michigan State Police killing two black Detroiters, one of whom was returning from the polls after voting. The deaths and the reporter’s arrest occurred on the same day that America voted in its first black President. See http://freedianebukowski.org .

I know of a white father, Attorney Barry King (no relation to Martin Luther King, at least not one that we know of), who has tirelessly worked to uncover evidence about the Oakland County Child Killer, his son’s rapist/killer. (A nickname for the Oakland County Child Killer is the Babysitter.) The Michigan State Police had covered up the evidence for 33 years because the accused killer, Christopher Busch, was the son of Harold Lee Busch, General Motors’ executive financial director for the U.S. and Europe. Here again, the class struggle illustrates that even a middle class white attorney’s son gets no respect compared to the convicted pedophile son of a high-ranking, upper class GM executive. Sadly, Barry King got a taste of what blacks still go through, being treated like our children’s lives don’t matter. Mind you, I’m not relating history from a generation ago. Barry King just received the evidence regarding his son’s 1977 death a month ago, in December, 2010.

Mark Stebbins, Kristine Mihelich, Jill Robinson and Timothy King.

These are just a few of the injustices occurring in Michigan. A friend of mine, in Toronto (Canada), asked, in disbelief, if Michigan is really so corrupt. I replied, “Not only Michigan.”

Be encouraged, all activists. Even though martyrdom still takes place in America and throughout the rest of the world, there is a God. He still judges. One blogger even dared to say the following:

The worst part of this story is that the last child to be murdered, King’s son Timothy, age 11, didn’t have to die. Christopher Busch was in custody and released after (my guess) passing a lie detector test. I hope you all know that people can pass them, even when people are lying. I wonder what the former Oakland County Prosecutor (at the time of these murders), L. Brooks Patterson, will be thinking this morning when he reads the latest news about “The Babysitter.” Will Patterson wonder if his own son died young because he couldn’t prevent the death of Timothy King?

Who Will Be on NOAA’s Ark?

I have been spending the last few blog posts describing the coming culling of America and the world. This is beyond TOP SECRET.

When God destroyed the world with a flood of water, a total of eight people (Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their respective wives) boarded Noah’s Ark. If the solar tsunami, predicted to come during our present solar maximum that climaxes in 2013, is the equivalent of the Biblical prophecy of fire and brimstone, then shouldn’t there be an ark?

America, like other countries, has a sense of humor. America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has the acronym of NOAA. Let’s suppose, as dramatized in the motion picture “2012”, that NOAA has an ark. Let’s suppose that the modern day “ark” is a vessel that will either go into space or into the ocean or submerge into the subterranean earth to avoid the fire and brimstone on the surface. Who will be on that ark?

America has three branches of the federal government, 50 states, and a few territories. Starting with the Executive Branch: Let’s suppose this hypothetical NOAA’s ark will rescue the President, his family, the Vice President, his family, and a few Cabinet members and their families. Let’s suppose the ark will rescue former presidents and their families. Will former vice presidents be rescued? What about former Cabinet members?

Will Bo Obama, the family dog, be rescued? What about former presidents’ dogs? What about cats, goldfish, parakeets, and other pets?

Who will be executing these rescue orders? Presumably, the military, FEMA, and Homeland Security. Will high-ranking military and intelligence officers who be among those rescued? What about other bureaucrats? Will the rank and file, executing the orders of the military elite, be ordered (like drones) to save the family pets of the super-rich or powerful queen bees but not rescue their families? Or themselves?

Let’s move on to the Legislative Branch: There are 100 Senators, 435 voting members of the House of Representatives, 5 non-voting delegates from the territories (namely the District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands), and 1 Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico. Total: 541 members of Congress. Can they bring their families? What about staff members? Or their families?

Last, but not least, is the Judicial Branch: There are nine Justices to the U.S. Supreme Court, but approximately 1232 lower federal judges. May they bring their families? And what about staff members? Or magistrates? Keep in mind, the lower court judges are not located in Washington, DC. They are scattered across the country, in each state. Logistically, how quickly can they be rounded up and rescued?

The total number of “important” federal public servants exceeds 1800 people, not including spouses and minor children. Heaven help if the children are adults and no longer living with their parents. Who will search and rescue them?

Let’s move on to state government: There are 50 Governors who, like federal judges, are scattered across the country. Presumably, each state will also have lieutenant governors. Each state will have state senators and legislators. There may be hundreds of judges. (Michigan, alone, has over 600 state-court judges.) Most of these public servants will have spouses. Some will have children. Who will rescue all of these people?

America has 7.8 million households earning more than $1 million annually and 980,000 households that earn more than $5 million annually. There are 1,011 billionaires scattered throughout the world.

These are the “legal” billionaires. What about those in the criminal underworld? They have money, too. Can they buy a seat onto NOAA’s Ark and bring their illicit drugs, prostitutes, illegal weapons, and other vices? Will a drug kingpin have a suite next to the Pope? If so, then this ark will not be rescuing the righteous.

If the total number of troops in the U.S. military is around 2.4 million, and if the total number of police officers in America is only 800,000, then who will rescue all of these people? And that is America alone: Who will rescue the heads of state and the super rich throughout the rest of the world? This is assuming every member of the military and law enforcement forsakes their own lives and their own families, follows orders, and saves the “elites”. This is also assuming that the military and law enforcement will not be busy responding to other conflicts, crimes, or riots.

Are seats on NOAA’s Ark being double-booked? Are folks being promised that they’ll be rescued, perhaps even paying an “insurance policy” to be rescued, a claim that will be denied with no time or ability to appeal? What if the double-booking, “insurance policy” is a massive Ponzi scheme, where the ones being scammed are merely paying for the luxury accommodations of the real ones being rescued?

Bottom line is that, unlike Noah’s Ark in the Bible, a modern-day NOAA’s Ark will evacuate more than eight people, but probably far fewer than the thousands of federal and state public servants. Why is this important to people going through foreclosure? Because judges, both in state and federal court, seem to be biased in favor of their version of the Golden Rule. The judges’ version of the Golden Rule is “He who has the gold, rules”. However, these judges, both state and federal, are probably considered low on the totem pole for priority seating for NOAA’s Ark. Just like the low-ranking military and law enforcement officer that may be ordered to rescue the “elite”, the lower court judges may want to rethink their bias of ruling in favor of the elites, the same elites who will ultimately betray them and leave them behind, in the fire and brimstone, with the rest of us.

All those who will probably be left behind , excluded from NOAA’ Ark, would do well to help each other. Our mutual survival depends on cooperation. And if our mutual survival depends upon cooperation and justice AFTER a solar tsunami, then doesn’t our mutual survival depend on cooperation BEFORE a solar storm?

Culling America

At the risk of being labeled the prophetess of doom and gloom, I’d like to warn others about where America is heading.

I am not a Tea Party-er or criticizing President Barack Obama. An unseen hand of freemasons, Catholics, Illuminati, and etc. really run America and the rest of the world. Presidents, kings, queens, and prime ministers are often ceremonial figureheads, scapegoats, and/or puppets. Occasionally, a puppet master will put himself in the limelight, but usually the puppeteers operate in the shadows.

2010 has been rough, but these are the good old days compared to what is to come.

Even without a solar storm, America is on a path that is mathematically unsustainable, but no one wants to tell the ugly truth. We’re spoiled Americans. We can’t handle the truth! For the following points, I obtained statistics from on December 31, 2010:

1. As of 3:21 pm EST, America’s national debt is nearly $14 trillion. Broken down into terms the average person can more readily understand, America’s debt is nearly $45,000 per every man, woman, and child or nearly $126,000 per taxpayer.

2. As of 3:25 pm EST, America’s federal tax revenue is nearly $2 trillion. However, the better indicator of the country’s financial health is America’s gross domestic product, which is $14.666 trillion as of 3:29pm EST.

3. As of 3:30 pm EST, America’s debt to gross domestic product is at a ratio of nearly 95%. Let me break that down so that average people can understand: If you have $1000 coming in during a week (or a month), and spend 95% of it, then you have only 5% in reserve for an emergency, charity, research and development, to waste, etc.

4. According to www.usdebtclock.org, America’s biggest expenditures are on Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, and Defense, each totaling near or in excess of $700 billion. Keep in mind that the magic number, $700 billion, is the price tag of the federal bailout to the banking industry. Imagine that the horrifically expensive number, $700 billion, is the health care cost of taking care of America’s elders, the disabled, and poor. This means, that in order to balance the federal budget, even if America pulled out of every conflict and pretended there was peace on earth, the government can’t really afford to give Grandma a heart monitor and have Medicare pay for it. It’s cheaper to let Grandma die, so that the government would not only save on health care costs, but Social Security, too. The longer she lives, the more America goes into debt, even if Grandma is healthy. God forbid she gets sick.

In case you think I’m being disrespectful of elders, I’ll insert at least one reference: The Congressional Budget Office has also declared, in April 2010, that America’s fiscal path is unsustainable. See

This is the scenario, even without a solar storm. Ironically, a solar storm, with a blackout of communications and the electrical power grid, could put America back on its feet, but only if there was a drastic reduction in the population. A definition of culling is to select, collect, or remove rejected members from a group. Could America’s budget woes be solved by culling the population? How many would need to die? More than 13%, the number of African-Americans. More than an additional 21%, the number of Hispanics and Latinos. If racial/ethnic minorities compose more than 1/3 of America’s population, then eliminating every one of them still wouldn’t be enough to balance America’s budget. One estimate is that the 90% of the population needs to be culled, which ultimately means that many white supremacists/eugenicists must also be culled.

This is the direction in which the world is heading. As America prepares to welcome 2011, please take the time to take care of yourself and your family. Invest in preparing for the emergency that is to come. Keep abreast of solar weather by referring to the website
