The "Protection Racket" – You Can Steal More With a Pen Than With a Gun!
May 24, 2010
PICTURE THIS! A knock on the door – the police are there to remove you, and you don’t know why; you’re not a criminal!
And by the time you find out why, you are no longer in control of your life, liberty or property.
Not until your assets are seized and secured by an unlawful court order which you knew nothing about, do you get the constitutionally required notice telling you to come to court for a hearing.
It wasn’t until NASGA member Danny Tate got to court and asked for an adjournment so he could hire a lawyer, that he found out he could not, because he had no money!
Where was the money? In his estranged brother’s control – his brother, the “temporary” conservator!
Danny’s future was and still is under the control of a judge and his court-appointed guardian/conservator and other appointed “fiduciaries” and experts.
He’s fighting back now to escape this awful two-and-a-half-year nightmare.
Guardianship is an ancient law. In Olde England, the King had to provide for the welfare of his subjects. The historical purpose of guardianship – or “lunatic proceedings” – as they were then known, was to protect that person and his/her property. If they became well, their property was returned.
That idea was adopted in America, and also known as “lunatic proceedings” in the early years – with one difference – you rarely get your money back! The “protection” statutes are promulgated under the police power of the state, from its duty to protect its citizens – “parens patriae” (parent of the country)!
Those adjudged to be incapacitated become wards of the State under what are now known as guardianships or conservatorships. A fiduciary – supposedly a person of trust – is appointed by the court to take charge of the person’s life, liberty and property. To PROTECT and CONSERVE is the ostensible purpose of the law.
But are these vulnerable people being protected and their property and assets conserved according to law? Not according to NASGA! Unfortunately, guardianship/conservatorship has grown into something very different, more like a feeding frenzy for professionals and for a growing number of nonprofit corporations.
“Guardianizing” an innocent person based on unfounded allegations, false information and exaggeration in the petition, for nefarious purposes, without due process, is becoming increasingly easier due to the lack of monitoring of the state courts. “Incapacitated” now replaces “incompetent” in a growing number of state statutes, thereby exposing even persons with minor or temporary physical disabilities to a complete and potentially permanent loss of life, liberty and property, most often to the day they die. It’s like a whirlpool – once you get sucked in, it’s hard to get out – even in one of those nasty new “emergency” guardianships! The emergency is supposed to be dealt with on a short-term basis. But not in this case before Nashville Probate judge Randy Kennedy!
Danny Tate, a Nashville musician, was sucked into the sick “protection” machine by an unlawful process: TN law says he should have notice in advance of a “hearing.” So what did Judge Kennedy of the Seventh Circuit Court in Nashville, TN, do? On 10/23/07, instead of holding a “hearing,” relying on only the unsubstantiated and fraudulent petition of Danny’s brother as “evidence” of an “emergency,” he issued an order finding Danny to be in need of a “temporary” conservatorship. But even a sworn petition, with nothing more, does not constitute “evidence.” Besides, you don’t take evidence from only one side in a case. That’s sneaky! They have a fancy name for it in the law: “ex parte”! That means “one side without the other,” but it really sounds more like “Let’s Party!” The other legal words to describe Kennedy’s actions are “colorable” and “under color of law.”
Without the constitutionally required personal service, Kennedy had no lawful authority to even issue such an order, but Kennedy is unconcerned, because he’s obviously been getting away with that kind of thing for a long time, as the only judge in the probate court!
Well, after he appointed Danny Tate’s brother to be his “temporary” conservator, and allowed him to grab all Danny’s assets, not only could Danny not then hire a lawyer of his choice; he couldn’t work, either, because most of his music equipment was confiscated by his brother, along with his assets!
Nice, huh?
In order to finish the job, after the money grab was a done deal, Kennedy had one of his appointees arrange for personal service on Danny, with the assistance of the police, for a hearing at a later date. On 11/14/07, Danny appeared in court and asked for an adjournment of the “hearing” to get a lawyer. Kennedy wouldn’t allow it; he forced Danny to proceed without counsel, and without notice or warning Judge Kennedy ordered Danny removed in handcuffs from the courtroom.
How would you like to be hauled into court, there to learn that your money has already been grabbed by your adversary – these proceedings are not supposed to be adversarial, by the way, but they surely are – and you’re not able to hire an honest lawyer to protect you? “Honest”? Sure! If the judge appoints a lawyer for you, fuggedaboutit! That lawyer is a team player, and you haven’t got a prayer! Danny had a few of those – all paid for from his own assets under his brother’s control – before he found an honest lawyer on his own. Michael Hoskins worked seven months without pay because Kennedy initially denied his application for payment – until ten Facebook “Friends” wearing “Free Danny Tate” tee-shirts to court convinced Kennedy otherwise.
Mind you, Danny’s money paid his brother’s lawyer all along, including a generous up-front $25,000 “retainer.” The court-appointed guardian or conservator, if there’s enough money/property in the ward’s estate, will gladly share it with his friends, hiring lawyers and accountants to help with plundering the estate in the name of “fee billings” until the Ward is indigent, leaving his/her lifetime care, on Medicaid, to the American taxpaupers! That’s Medicaid fraud; isn’t it?
Danny’s “temporary” conservatorship has been “temporary” ever since 2007, but now an appellate court has straightened Kennedy out on that issue, and a final hearing on permanency will be held this morning: Seventh Circuit Probate Court, 1 Public Square in Nashville, TN.
So much for constitutional due process, civil rights, human rights, life, liberty and happiness! How do you get free from this insanity? It’s like a rotting cancer, growing out of control, all across the country today.
What happened to NASGA member Danny Tate can happen to anyone! But with the help of Facebook and other “Friends,” we hope he will soon be free of his nightmare!
Danny’s brother cancelled his health insurance, the insurance on his studio and music equipment, without notice to Danny. Everything was lost in the recent flooding. Most recently, he stopped Danny’s support payments to his children. PROTECT and CONSERVE, indeed!
We must question why a judge would knowingly violate the law and individual rights and protections. He/she must be incompetent or corrupt; there is no other explanation.
Something is very wrong when government allows things like this to happen to its citizens, in gross violation of all basic rights and protections.
The protection program as presently operated across the states has now become “THE PROTECTION RACKET”! That’s why NASGA has asked Congress to intervene, even before we learned about Danny’s story: http://www.AnOpenLetterToCongress.info.
