Why I Am An Abolitionist

The long-awaited guardianship reform bill by U.S. Senator Klobuchar, S.1744, the “Guardian Accountability and Senior Protection Act,” has been published and is available for public scrutiny.

GAO Pushes to Share Incapacity Declarations of Veterans and Disabled

Public Guardian to Expand Powers to Seize Assets

AB 1288, which  is now in front of the California Legislature,   would expand the time frame in which the Public Guardian’s office could take control of an elder’s assets, prior to filing for conservatorship over that individual. Now hold on a minute. Does this bill actually state that the Public Guardian can come in and take over assets without a guardianship being in place? How in the world can that be allowed? Well, the law authorizing this is already on the books, as Probate Code 2900, which allows the PG to... Read article

Jeff Rense: “Hitler wasn’t such a bad guy”

Concerns are swirling around the conspiracy circuit as to who Jeff Rense really is and what his real agenda might be. Allegations of neo Nazi affiliations have followed Rense since he first began to host a radio show, back in the nineties. These are the facts: When approached to run a story on the guardianship crisis, which has been likened to the T-4 program in Hitler’s Germany, Rense responded with an apologia for the Nazis: “It would have moderated after awhile.” When the retort was that it would have “moderated”... Read article

Attorney Defies Subpoena in Alleged “Murder-For-Money” Scheme

“I Wants Your House!” Strange Case of Conservatorship Gets Stranger

It seemed that the  struggle over the conservatorship of Jean Tanaka couldn’t get more bizarre. Well, it just did.

Cotterman is apparently steaming that Jeannie Tanaka, who is the  Trustee for the Tanaka Trust, has asserted her rights as Trustee and... Read article

Chisculub Diary–A Case of the American Meme

I first came to Mexico in the early seventies. Straining at the confines of the small midwestern liberal arts college where I was in my second year, I responded decisively to a small ad in a progressive magazine, advertising a free university in Cuernavaca, Morelos. The founder of this project, Ivan Illych, had been gaining some notoriety for his concept of “De-schooling America,” and his institute, CIDOC, featured an array of radical thinksters of the post-flower power era.–most notably, Paul Goodman and John... Read article
