The Money flows into one and a River runs through it

Do you have any idea from how many directions the money flows into Mary Pontarolo's pocket? This story in the Zero today details how the City of Olympia just diverted another $20K for Mary's SafePlace of Courage. Wonder if the City Counsel will require any accountability as to how she stuffs that in her pockets, I mean uses it. This tributary would be interesting to explore with PDRs.

The article says "This year the city has budgeted $686,749 from the sparse federal funds." Sparse? Good Lord, that's a lot a coin from our federal deficit account if every rinky dink town like Olympia was spiffed a check like that while in a recession and running a fever (I mean deficit). Adds up to Billions. But, who's counting anymore? Were just stealing from our grandchildren to pay for programs that can't support themselves in a free market or from community support. Yep, domestic financial violence perpetrated on our children's children.

Gregoire signs toothless anti-gang bill

This in the zero today----

The bill says that in order to get grant money- Police departments have to doctor up a couple lines on the grant application about being against gangs.

Hard hitting stuff from the Queen of King County.


WOW- I bet those punks painting up every road sign in rural Thurston just soiled the seats in their lowered Honda Civics. Whether it's in laughter or fear--- I'll let you be the Thurston County Judge and make up the answer to fit your own political view point.

County board of commissioners sets fire to olive branch

Following the anti male art incident, I sent an open invite to the county to meet with some of the stakeholders from the father’s rights movement to assess the degree of the discrimination going on in family court. If such discrimination were based on race or towards the fairer gender- there would already be ambulance chasers taking them to the back of the woodshed for the tune of millions.

Both the Court Clerk’s office and the Superior Court’s office were in receipt of the notice.

The response: Nope. Not interested. Not our problem and crickets.


My response to the lack of a response- WOW- It’s a multiple choice answer on what’s going on. Are they…

1- Too inept to realize the magnitude of damage?
2- Incredibly bigoted and polarized by a militant feminist org culture?
3- Just a bunch of belligerent and stupid party hacks warming comfy chairs?

At any end- this was a VERY dumb move on the part of the county. One would like to believe that if elected officials and civil servants were interested in doing the right thing, they would take immediate action to avoid another embarrassing liability of this magnitude. This should ring especially true in the wake such a blatant show of discrimination over at the courthouse on the art incident AND the earlier incident exposed with the Child Support Workgroup.

The county inboxes are already aware of the next steps.

PS- Paula, thanks for the quote on camera with King 5. Your few words are worth a thousand pictures! Hillary Clinton hasn't got anything on your idiocy.

DV and Fatherhood Research

This is a great list of links if you dare question the wisdom of feminists in Duluth Minnesota who happened to escape the wood chipper in Fargo with some research that is actually current and legitimate.

**UPDATE** on Anti-Father Art

Kudos to the County Commissioners, Keri Brenner of The Olympian, and a bunch of concerned citizens. The anti-father discriminatory "decorations" have been taken down. Read here in Today's Story in the Olympian A sincere thanks to all of these people involved in bringing the truth forward.

I would say we are one step closer to the first bullet point of the Family Court Mission

Mission: The Unified Family Court Advisory Committee’s mission is to:

Recommend ways to create a courthouse environment that is safe and sensitive to issues of families and children

Now let's please address the bias on the county web site where they claim a woman is assaulted in the United States every 15 seconds by an intimate partner (is that male?). Additionally, 95% of abusers are reported to be male . . . more DV Industry propaganda.

The picture above likely depicts how horribly violent lesbian relationships can be. The woman in the picture thought that blowing up a traditional family with the family court's help would finally make her happy. She now lives with the horror of a violent and controlling Lesbian woman that is leaving her kids crying for daddy's protection. "Where's my Daddy?" Link to Lesbian Violence Research

It's about the KIDS

See what the merchants of misery are doing to kids, parents and grandparents through family court sponsored abuse and yes, it's as bad as it gets right here in good ol' Thurston County.

West Virginia Recognizes False DV Charges

West Virginia legislators last week passed a bill that slaps criminal charges on those who falsely report child abuse or neglect in order to influence a custody case.

Non Profit Visitation House Campaigned for Judge Anne Hirsch

SOUTH SOUND FAMILY SERVICES (The only Game in Town)

UBI Number

602371115

NON-PROFIT
Classified under federal code, 26 U.S.C. § 501(c)

Organizations with this classification are prohibited from conducting political campaign activities to influence elections to public office.

That didn't stop South Sound Family Services from advertising Anne Hirsch for Judge (reputed in the legal community as a Misandrist Judge) on the front window of the "visitation" house. Guess they thought the rules didn't apply to them either. Anne Hirsch was overturned by Div. II Appeals court from a Mason County case just prior to her run here in Thurston. She and the breast feeding expert, local Psychologist Dr. Mary Anne Trause were trying to help a mother with a routine daddy-ectomy before the Court of Appeals reversed their handy work. Back to the sign in the window . . . The visitation house later retaliated with their own brand of network justice after a friend politely asked them to remove the sign from the window. They didn't like him much after that and proceeded to help the local racket and Universal Unitarian Dr. Mary Anne Trause process another routine daddy-ectomy. There is nothing pretty about Thurston family law fascist racketeering. Quite "Un-American" if you ask me.

A salty observation

If you own a small business of 5-100 employees, who would you hire?

Candidate A.

• Has to show up to work every day, not complain, and can be fired for any reason.

Candidate B.

• Can sleep with co-workers and sue you for the chaos that follows.*
• Can sue you for remarks co-workers make- substantiated or false.
• Must be given extended leaves of absence and be given a job when they return with no cut in wages.**
• Can sue you if they don't like their salary in comparison to co-workers.
• Can sue you over the dress code.

Most small business owners don't have an axe to grind when it comes to race or gender- but why would any rational person with a few hundred thousand of their net worth wrapped up in a business choose candidate B?

Our state legislature is creating a financial necessity for discrimination through the business requirement of simply staying afloat and reducing risk where once there was none. So to all of you feel good liberals- you're hurting more people by creating and arming special classes of citizens than you are helping.

My generation grew up blind of discrimination- it was government that introduced it to us through entitlement programs.

*Note that a female manager is less likely to have an affair with direct reports than is a male manager.

**This also applies to vets...which is food for thought.

L&I funds raided for protection order vacations

UPDATE:
L&I is paying for a dozen new full time inspectors to fine businesses which call bullshit on the extended DV vacation program. Contrary to my original post- L&I is not paying wages during leave; that money is already available through our state's unemployment office.

The obvious flaws of this bill and the new mouths at the government trough are still as egregious as originally posted.

The Wa Farm Bureau confirmed my suspicions on the funding for the Griego Bill, HB 2606. They are raiding L&I funds enforce work leave to recipients of protection orders. As in turns out, our own Rep Brendan Williams of the 22nd district is a co sponsor of the bill. (side note- Brendan, is this perhaps why you’ve stopped responding in regards to the public records issue with the courts?)

In case you are wondering about the magnitude this new entitlement….one of Washington State’s own money chains counted 26,586 people in 2007 who could tap this program.

It’s not that Republicans were asleep at the wheel here. There was a failed attempt led by Rep Cary Condotta to prevent this highway robbery of workers via HB 3387.

In case your interested- one of the full time lobbyists who helped pushed this through is funded by money funneling through United Way. More on that over at The Daily World. Remember that this is where the United Way sends your cash the next time they come knocking for you to donate at work. Oh- there was also a bunch of VAWA money in the lobbying train too.


Background on protection orders You can get a protection order by simply “asking.” That’s why there are so many- and that’s why they are worthless for protecting real victims. Just ask the Griego girl who had one. There is no qualifying criteria to get one, other than telling a judge you feel scared- oh- and you must be female (sorry dudes). There are literally no consequences to making a totally bogus accusation either. In fact gaming the protection order racket is a very common and usually successful tactic in child custody battles and a big area in need of fixing when it comes to family law reform. Getting a protection order immediately gives a woman the upper hand in a divorce battle and usually full temporary custody of the kids, not to mention mandatory financial support that can be upwards of $2,000 a month plus living expenses. The “accused” will have to spend $10k getting a bogus order removed, which only happens after countless “paid evaluations” by organizations in bed with the domestic violence lobby and who have a steady stream of cash flow to and from the courts.

Give due credit to the devil, the family leave bill is quite a bullet in the family law machine’s arsenal.


The cost. So employers, the next time that nail gun misfires and your employees have a hand or foot that looks like Jesus H Christ- there may not be any of that money the state takes from you each week because a lot of angry ex’s decided to take a vengeance vacation on your dime. If you happen to be one of the poor schmucks caught up in this racket- just remember - you could have helped my peeps lobby against this corruption before it applied to you!

Dead Beat Moms and Dad Beat Dead

Not only is the DV industry not gender neutral but so is the Child Support industry. Imagine that? A correlation between DV, family court and child support and they are all gender biased? Jim Bag-A-Dad McDermott was honored for his work maligning dead beat dads recently by the child support industry. While we are on the topic of statistics and research, here's some more for you . . .

Child Support

The following is sourced from: Technical Analysis Paper No. 42, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Income Security Policy, Oct. 1991, Authors: Meyer and Garansky.

• Custodial mothers who receive a support award: 79.6%
• Custodial fathers who receive a support award: 29.9%
• Non-custodial mothers who totally default on support: 46.9% (Dead Beat Moms)
  
• Non-custodial fathers who totally default on support: 26.9%

• Information from multiple sources show that only 10% of all noncustodial fathers fit the "deadbeat dad" category: 90% of the fathers with joint custody paid the support due. Fathers with visitation rights pay 79.1%; and 44.5% of those with NO visitation rights still financially support their children. (Source: Census Bureau report. Series P-23, No. 173).
• Additionally, of those not paying support, 66% are not doing so because they lack the financial resources to pay (Source: GAO report: GAO/HRD-92-39 FS).
• The Poverty Studies Institute at the University of Wisconsin, Madison discovered in 1993 that 52% of fathers who owe child support earn less than $6,155 per year.
• 66% of single mothers work less than full time while only 10% of fathers fall into this category. In addition, almost 47% of non-custodial mothers default on support compared with the 27% of fathers who default. (Source: Garansky and Meyer, DHHS Technical Analysis Paper No. 42, 1991).
• Total Custodial Mothers: 11,268,000. Total Custodial Fathers 2,907,000 (Source: Current Population Reports, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Series P-20, No. 458, 1991).
• 66% of all support not paid by non-custodial fathers is due to inability to pay. (Source: U.S. General Accounting Office Report, GAO/HRD-92-39FS January 1992). (Dad Beat Dead)
  

Where's is all the Domestic Violence research?

Where is it? Why don't we get any real data offered to refute the credible research we constantly site here in this blog? Answer . . . the DV scam is a house of cards built on a foundation of lies and they know it.

The DV Doctor Peter Jaffe claims that false accusations are only used about 3-5% of the time in "his estimation" while presenting to the Thurston GALs this summer. Research? There was none cited. In fact, a couple out of town GALs spoke up and said they see it in about 35% to 40% of cases given the winner take all bounty given to women in the form of kids, property and money. No incentive there?

Hey Raza Raven, Marconey-Horowitz (or whatever your name is now), Head of GALs at the court house and the big TESC DV, Social "Sciences" expert. Where is your data? Where is your justification for daddy-ectomies? Do you not have some super duper Evergreen College dissertation you can throw up on us?

Surely the Brilliant St. Martins Graduate, Peg Cain, has something to offer other than the feminist Duluth Model rhetoric. Perhaps your attorney/commissioner friend has some light to shed on the matter.

We're waiting. Feel free to post some comments to set the record straight. Let's get it out into the light of day and take a look at what you are doing to children and let's discuss where the money is going and who is benefiting from it and exactly what role you play in the process.
We really want to know how to find Waldo in this complicated picture. Please, we are dying to be indoctrinated with your enlightened and brilliant minds. Go slow, though, we do have some Neanderthal readers. But, we'll try to break it down for them.

Totem kids up to know good

The Herald broke it, Sound Politics noted it- but this is so fantastic, I've got to cross post it.

It warms my heart. Let me pull the string on the Militant Michelle Obama doll.


"For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of today's youth."

Exactly what skills DOOOOO you have?

Let us reflect for a minute on the lost Boeing deal and how Washington State has benefited from the leadership of Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray.

Despite having party majority approaching 2 years:

• You failed to bring this tanker deal and jobs to our state.
• You have failed to bring us federal dollars for our roads.
• You have failed to bring us an alternative energy policy.
• You have kept us cut off from domestic fuel sources.
• You have failed to satisfy your far left constituents on Iraq.

While I’m grateful for your ineptness on the last point, exactly why would any rational voter support you?

Oh, that’s right. You have the skills to blame George W Bush for all the world's problems. That’s quite a resume.

Do we sound angry? It's just part of the daddy-ectomy

Oh joy- we have commenter-s at our little blog against the family law machine.

I'm not picking on Angler here- but I'm quite aware that many speakers for the father's rights movement sound angry. Well that's because many of them have spent upwards of 100k [or more] on top of losing all community property just to have a few more days a month with their kids.

On the other end of that legal battle was a system (court facilitators, family law attorneys, judges, GALS, evaluators, and an ex-wife) who would gain power, money, and in the case of the ex vengeance or at the least "convenience," by completely eliminating daddy from the equation of parenting and custody.

Sounding angry is an unfortunate byproduct of the daddy-ectomy. Being called an abusive person in the process and having to spend an extra 50k to convince a litany of evaluators on the basis of unsubstantiated allegations would certainly boil any one's coffee.

You see- it's free to fling those allegations against daddy- and no one will question them- so fling away- that's what DAWN, the YWCA and tons of other non profits get their money for- true or not- these orgs get paid for playing their part of the daddy-ectomy. Notice that these orgs ONLY represent women. There are no orgs defending daddy against someone gaming the machine. Daddy has to fend for himself. Unless daddy can afford the Duke legal team, he's going to get the daddy-ectomy.

Do notice that for the most part- we don't spend a lot of time vilifying women on this blog. Actually, when it comes down to it- the second wives are often our most vocal and effective lobbying group.

If you want to hear angry, let them give you an earful- because nobody is more pissed about paying for the ex's gym membership and tropical vacation while the kids are dressed in rags than the second wives club.

PS- I've never had children. For me, it's all about justice.

King County Inferior Court hides under a rock with Thurston's most dishonorable

Late last year we busted the make-up-the–law–as–you-go-minds- over at the Thurston Superior Court for declaring themselves to be exempt from all public records laws.

This month- King County's dis-honorables in black bath robes have followed suit.

To clarify for those of you following along at home- Washington State now has an entire arm of the government devoid of any citizen oversight. It's like everything you libs accuse George W Bush of stemming completely from our own little county of the capital! You port protesters should be ecstatic that there is a little bit of evil you could picket in your own back yard.

Our elected Judges are free to use their positions to lobby, cut back room quid pro quo deals on public policy in exchange for grant money and movement on political agenda, run kickback deals with "facilitators" and "nonprofit" groups and John Q Public will have no oversight whatsoever.

This is especially dangerous in the context for which we busted Thurston's courts: Thurston County has 2 judges (Judge Pomeroy and Judge Wickham) that have been actively involved in the legislature's Child Support Workgroup- and VERY active in lobbying against any law which gives non custodial parents (ie losers in custody battles) more time with their kids. Miraculously an employee of Thurston’s court was chosen over private citizens to serve on the committee as a private citizen and was then told by the Court Clerk to bill that time as part of her job. Miraculously that same employee is funded by a grant from the department within DSHS running the committee. In summary, it was a kickback program being run between Thurston Superior Court and DSHS.

Suffice to say- the Child Support Workgroup has again focused its efforts on ways shuffle MORE money into DSHS. Not one thing about what is best for kids of anyone but those of parents making over $80k/year. SORRY, IT SUCKS TO BE YOU poor black and other minority fatherless children of fathers who don’t have MBA’s.

DSHS has mysteriously stopped using email to communicate with regards to this workgroup.

Needless to say there is much going on behind the scenes on the public records front and I’m not going to spoil it for those following along. Do keep in mind- we are dealing with the same Judge[s] that

• In 2004, required radio stations to ‘register’ the time they talk about a political issue on the ballot as a donation.
• In 2005 said that a bank robber could go free because it was a credit union and not a bank that was robbed.
• Routinely rules on family law cases w/out hearing arguments (ruling against fathers of course).
• Has been caught in a kickback agreement with DSHS for grant money.
• Has shown up at the legislature at every turn to fight against non custodial parents having time with their kids.
  

How they use the Duluth Model Power and Control Wheel in Hazard County

There is a good look at the Wheel on Glenn Sacks this week. I thought I would bring it closer to home and take a look at how it plays out in our local court. When you go down to the Thurston County Family Court House, they steer you into a side room to a Domestic Violence Liaison (a woman with a sword and snake tattoo on her arm) and she hands you the Wheel and guides you into a protection order from Commissioner Schaller-Kradjen. It’s as automatic and routine as ordering a Big Mac. Nowhere in the RCWs will you find this language and the concept of power and control. Yet, it is the driving force behind the feminist DV assessment/treatment providers and the Hazard Commissioners and Judges in how they rule and assess. They have been indoctrinated by DV Journeyman for hire (Peter Jaffe) with unsubstantiated feminist DV ideology. The current Commissioner and Judges are unable to separate false allegations from facts and the ability to exercise judgment to follow the RCWs because this ideology is so engrained into their thinking. It gives them the self justification to make up their own rules because they think they are enlightened and the rest of us are just not smart enough to understand what domestic violence really is as they broaden their definition case after case. Hence, the "we are above the law" entitlement mentality that drives their findings and rulings. They think they have special training and skills that allow only highly trained (ie indoctrinated) professionals to be able to find Waldo (DV) in a highly complicated picture. Of course, because of the arrogance of being able to run havoc on peoples lives unchecked by any accountability; they have a warped sense of civil service and self importance. Thanks to the lobbying and false research of Ms. Grace Huang, WA State Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Gender and Justice Commission of the Wa State Courts, Barbara Lucenko and Owen Abbe, from the Washington State Center for Court Research (formerly AOC Research), the legislature has written into the law that the rules of evidence does not apply to create a whole new world of made up reality in the anti-family court. This, of course feeds the social programs and state agencies growth.

Making matters worse is the fact that assessment providers like local provider Peg Cain of Cain and Atwell fill their own “treatment” classes. Conflict of interest? They make $3000 to $6000 off of each man ordered into her system. Adds up to some pretty big numbers for the Keg of Pain at the end of the year and you see the legal rub here is that Peg Cain and her fellow DV "experts" are doing the court's dirty work. The court is only ordering men to follow the recommendation of the local treatment provider. This small group of treatment providers meet regularly and each have their own methodology since there is no standardized industry or state guideline governing thier practices. It's, let's just say, fairly subjective. It is a given that if ordered to get an assessment, it is the beginning of the end for a man as it's called the "automatic intake" for their feminist indoctrination program. It is a well known fact that you either bring Schaller the results she is looking for or you will go back out until you come back with an assessment that serves her agenda. The current commissioner Chris Schaller-Kradjen previously was Peg Cain‘s personal attorney on several personal civil and criminal matters in the Cain family. Somebody recently pointed me to some very damaging “public records” information on this conflict of interest that is driving decisions in Commissioner Schaller-Kradjen’s courtroom. Unfortunately, that is only one of many connections that you won't find in the local Bar newsletter. They ignore credible research that shows the county and the feminist lobbies are lying about DV statistics and THEY KNOW IT. The county web site even has the audacity to claim that men are 95% of the time the perpetrators. Cain and Atwell also receive cases referred directly from DSHS. Again, all from public records down at the Thurston Court files. Thurston is one of the few counties not “online”, yet. But, they say they are close to having this capability that will not only make the legal community more efficient but it will help all of us more efficiently research the court’s rulings and watch these patterns, trends and the good old fashioned Hazard County favoritism in action.

The Thurston County Family Court is doing exactly what they are accusing men of doing with this bogus wheel by using children, isolation, economic and emotional abuse, coercion and threats against men in their rulings. This court punitively rules outside of the law with their own twisted paradigm to “teach men a lesson” and extort money out of divorced dads to grow these state agencies such as DSHS. There is big, big money in destroying father/child relationships and constitutionally protected individual rights.

Grants to the courts and counties are only one facet of the financial motivation at play. In the end, the best interest of the children is rhetoric. These people only care about money and power, children and paternal relationships be damned. I propose that we rename this wheel the Judicial Violence, Power and Control Wheel. I propose the legislature put together some laws for JV (Judicial Violence) treatment programs for these corrupt and morally bankrupt Commissioners, judges and participating attorneys. Of course that will require electing a legislature that truly cares about kids and families and serving the people versus serving the special interests of Grace Huang and state agencies.

Once again the Thurston Pundits providing some hard hitting Truth you won't find in the Olympian Newspaper.
