How Russia is copycatting a big American disaster - perfectly. A tale of American foxies and chickens, and how to shit another planet after you have thoroughly shitted your own.

We have in the United States what economists call "absolute attorney monopoly".

Lawyers have clinched the market of legal services for themselves and do not allow anybody else to do anything in it.

Does not matter that "the practice of law" - the subject of regulation is not clearly defined by statute in any of the 255+ court jurisdictions across the United States, and that such regulation, under a standing and, supposedly, binding U.S. Supreme Court precedent, is unconstitutional based not on just one, but on several points.

Does not matter that it is non-sensical to allow the fox to regulate themselves for the benefit of the chickens (consumers) - without letting chickens have a say in the regulation, that is, supposedly, for their benefit.

Does not matter that the chickens may want to choose their own foxy to represent themselves in court - and, possibly, not from the pack approved by big bad foxes (the government).

Does not matter that there are - in abundance - situations when the "outside foxies" are knowledgeable in how to defend chickens against the big bad fox, while the "inside foxies" are not.  The big bad fox still tells the chickens then - you must choose the dumb inside foxies to represent yourself against me in my court, rather than the outside smart foxies, because I said so.

Does not matter that big bad foxes have long ruled that lack of a law license (not being a member of the monopoly) does not mean that services of such a person are ineffective 

• in Texas - Henson v State, 915 S.W.2d 186 (Tex. App. 1996);  
• in California - People v. Ngo, 14 Cal.4th 30 , 57 Cal.Rptr.2d 456; 924 P.2d 97 (1996);  
• in Michigan - People v. Pubrat, 548 N.W.2d 595, 451 Mich. 589 (1996). 
  

- making such a regulation/monopoly nonsensical.

Does not matter that big bad foxes have long been punishing the outside foxies, for doing HIGH QUALITY, GOOD work for indigent chickens - because they were doing that GOOD work for the indigent chickens that no inside foxies wanted to do, but without permission from the big bad fox, and without paying their ways through the required "golden path" (see below).

That is a criminal offense in the United States, doing good work ("practice of law") without permission of the big bad fox - who cannot define what the practice of law is in the first place, but will put you in jail if you practice it without its permission.

Does not matter that it makes no sense, when the big bad fox (the government) sues the chicken, that the chicken's rights (the big bad fox says) are protected in the best way only (supposedly) if their own opponent, the big bad fox, chooses a foxy for the chicken, out of a list of foxies pre-approved by the big bad fox.

Does not matter that it makes no sense to allow the big bad fox (courts) to regulate all foxies while the absolute majority of foxies do not litigate (do not work in courts).

Does not matter that any monopoly - and attorney monopoly is no exception:

• increases prices for consumer;
• cuts diversity of products and services;
• cuts quality of products and services - all by reducing competition,
• stifles innovation,
• stifles social progress by putting a high price on entry into the monopoly by requiring every new foxy to pay his way through a "golden path":

1/ graduate from high school;

2/ pay for and stay out of the job market for 4 years of college (does not matter what degree - it is useless, its role is to make candidates to enter the monopoly WAIT for 4 more years and pay for it through their noses - the poor will fall off the wagon of candidates on their own 

3/ pay for and stay out of the job market for 3 more years of law school (200,000 dollars all in all for not the best of law schools nowadays - on to of college student loans);

4/ pay for an "ethics" exam 

5/ pay a Board licensing fee

6/ pay for a super-expensive bar exam preparation fee

7/ pay a bar exam fee;

8/ regularly pay the ever-increasing biennial licensing fees and

9/ Continued Legal education - not cheap, but mandatory amount of hours to maintain a license

10/ it is very advisable for foxies (individually and as firms and associations) to make "contributions" to election campaign of judges - to win cases in front of them.

All of the above - inevitably - has led to the current situation (and it has been for some time this way) in the United States where the absolute majority of American chickens cannot afford legal services of foxies, and where the majority of inside foxies do not even want to represent the American chickens, instead preferring to work for big chicken farms ( less than 0.6% of American attorneys work for the poor, while 75% of American attorneys work for corporations) - since all foxies must necessarily put into their prices the cost of the "golden path".

Under such circumstances, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued a rule 40 (!) years ago:  if the monopoly causes the poor not to have access to legal services, ONLY THEN the poor can hire non-members of the monopoly, the outside foxies, people without a law license, without a permission from the big bad fox to do what the big bad fox cannot define - represent the indigent chickens in the big bad fox's court.

But, we have long passed that point - and the poor STILL cannot hire outside foxies, cannot make a choice any legally competent adult must be able to make for himself - who is going to be his trusted person to represent him in court.

In 2011, a group of economists have published a book saying - well, it is time to call it a day, foxes.  You have caused enough harm, you have caused a crises of access to justice in the country, time to deregulate and bury the attorney monopoly.

Attorneys, instead, buried the economists in heated discussions, arguing that the chickens will absolutely suffer if they are given free choice of their own foxies, outside of the control of the big bad fox and of the foxies' monopoly - and the "justice gap" continued to grow.

It has gotten so bad that in 2015 a U.S. Supreme Court justice (Sotomayor) has pledged that she would allow violation of the 13th Amendment (slave labor of attorneys) in order to "bridge the justice gap".

And, the Democratic and law-loving State of New York actually does require attorney slavery - 50 hours of pro bono service from the least experience attorneys, recent graduates - in order to be allowed into the foxies' barn, the 13th Amendment can go fly South.

Meanwhile, the same justice Sotomayor (and her brothers and sisters) STILL continued to reject petitions of attorneys for the poor disbarred or suspended and taken out of the rich of their indigent clients, thus broadening the justice gap over which this "Democratic" justice has shed her crocodile tears.

Well.  

Attorney monopoly in the United States DID start to give way - albeit slowly.

1.  Casetext.com has introduced an AI (artificial intelligence)-assisted legal research, available to anyone, for 65 bucks a month.  That's 18 cents an hour, folks, 1667 TIMES cheaper than to pay a fee to an attorney who may not even know the subject, but will take your money anyway.

You scan in and upload your legal document, the software, assisted by artificial intelligence, spots legal issues in it and pops up for you statutes and court decisions on points of those decisions - you can read it and form your own impression what are your chances in a particular court proceeding.

2.  5 states so far (California, Utah, Arizona, Maine, and Illinois) at the moment are contemplating deregulation, allowing non-lawyers to practice law.  A month ago it was only California.  So, the snowball of deregulation has started rolling.  Slowly, imperfectly, but it did start rolling.

But, foxes are called foxes because they are tricky.

And, American foxes (attorneys) have seen the writing of deregulation on the wall a wrong time ago.  And made precautionary arrangements.

Tell me, what do you do if you bomb and poison and burn your own planet into extinction?

You try to find another one to bomb and poison and burn into extinction, of course.

And that's what the American legal profession has done.

It has founded a project - funded by American taxpayers, mind, those same taxpayers who the American legal profession has caused not to be able to afford a lawyer, so they go without legal help.  The project started at the fall of the Berlin wall, and, of course, is called "The Rule of Law".    

It has recently celebrated 25 years of existence - and boy did it transplant the American shit over countries that did not put up enough resistance to oust the American neo-colonial efforts.  The shit-spreaders do not even try to conceal their goals or methods.  After all, they are judges and children of judges - and they have learnt in the U.S. that judges are royalty and that they are above the law, they can give THEMSELVES immunity for CORRUPTION - and get away with it.

The essence of the project is, of course, nothing close to spreading the Rule of Law over the welcoming world.  

It is a project transplanting all that is bad in the U.S. - its corrupt and ineffective court system, its attorney monopoly that has caused a dire crises of access to justice - to the so-called 3rd world and post-Soviet countries, including Russia.

To transplant their home Armageddon overseas to be able to operate under homelike conditions, the American legal profession did not spare millions over millions - of taxpayer money, of course, they work through and with USAID - which keeps contracts with the ABA on this project secret, blocking Freedom of Information requests from the likes of me.

But, judging by certain tax returns of certain organizations available on guidestar.org, the ABA works on the global shit-spreading project the same way as they work at home.

They bribed the necessary people, brought them on world and U.S. tours, educated them in Harvard, employed their friends and relatives - and, thus, changed country Constitutions and legislations, and instilled American-type attorney monopolies across the world.

Russia has fallen into this trap, too.

It was not easy to instill attorney monopoly in Russia.  Well, it was not easy to do that in the U.S. either.  It required nearly a century to do that - but it was done.  And so it was - nearly completely now - in Russia.

In 1993 American lawyers have "helped" Russia re-write its Constitution, putting into it an "Article 48" that provided a guarantee to Russians not for just legal "help", but for "qualified legal help".  That was later used as a pretext to restrict those who are allowed to provide "legal help" to the population - because they need to be "qualified", and their qualifications are to be determined by - guess who - members of the monopoly, of course, not the public.

In 9 years, in 2002 - a group of attorneys called "advocates" (about 80 000 out of the current 1-2 mln of Russian attorneys, nobody counted them, it is an educated guess), have gained monopoly in criminal cases, through a statute.

17 years further down the road, in less than a week, on October 1, 2019 - a yet another new statute goes into effect in Russia, by which all attorneys gained monopoly for court representation in civil cases.

On September 30, 2019 - the third and final stage of instilling American-type attorney monopoly starts, when the Russian Legislature, Gosduma, starts to discuss - behind closed doors, in a "working group" of unknown membership - how to put the final nail into Russian people's access to justice and how to gain submission of all Russian attorneys to government-controlled rich attorney elites. 

Just like we have it in our United States of America.

And we are saying that Russia has interfered into our elections.  

It's not even funny, foxies.

But - well, now indigent Americans can hope that the aurora is arising for them with the slowly coming deregulation of the rule of foxies in the US - while indigent Russians get plunged upon the conveniently offered American rake.

In order to keep up its budgets, the Delaware County DSS steps up its child-hunt., now hiring a really good trial lawyer, Erin Neale. Parents, beware.

My personal opinion: NO self-respecting attorney will agree to work for DSS, especially for the corrupt Delaware County (NY) DSS.

Especially under the unethical County Attorney Amy Merklen, who has just committed an ultimate unethical act - instead of obeying direction of her client, DSS Commissioner Dana Scuderi-Hunter, Merklen reported her to the County Board, obtaining her removal from her position.

Amy Merklen has, as I wrote before, a short fuse and a history of questionable behavior, but in the removal of Scuderi-Hunter she has outdone herself - while knowing full well that she can commit any unethical conduct as an attorney, and her rear end will be covered by the local corrupt clique of the DA's office (former Becker's law partner John Hubbard) and his boss (also Judge Becker's friend Richard Northrup).

Erin Neale must know just what kind of dirt-pool she has plunged herself in - but nobody makes people accept such jobs, so, she did it voluntarily.  

Official court records from Family e-courts show that Erin Neale - a good trial lawyer whom I respected - has joined Delaware County DSS.

Here is attorney Neale's docket report from the New York State e-courts, as if today.

It is a very long list of court cases, and, in all of these listed court cases for Erin Neale, she is listed in the following way:

Erin Neale did not yet reflect joining Delaware County DSS in her official attorney registration information,

 so the switch must be recent.

Apparently, Erin Neale has split from her ... interesting former law partner Renee Albaugh, of Delhi, NY (see different P.O. Box numbers and see that Erin Neale no longer listed that she worked in Albaugh's law firm).

The interesting law partner who, upon my personal knowledge, has ardently fought for very close access to other people's children for a client, Justin Crandall, whom local law enforcement (including this particular DSS Department) protected - so it had to be the feds who has had to deal with him.

He was recently sent to federal prison for 50 years for sexual abuse of a 17 month old child and production of child porn.


So, now, possibly, to distance from Albaugh, Neale switched to the "very right side", the most corrupt DSS department?  

Knowing very well it is corrupt after representing so many private clients against it in Family Court?

What the switch means for Delaware County parents.

1.  Erin Neale is a very good trial lawyer, so, the chance of losing your kids to DSS has just got higher.

2.  Just because Erin Neale (who I knew as an honest attorney) has joined the DSS - while its new Commissioner was dumped with the help of the former corrupt Commissioner Bill Moon - DSS is not going to turn honest and will not change its policies based on financial (federal and state) incentives to fabricate cases and grab children from parents.  Erin Neale will have to follow those policies and help DSS implement them - while using her good trial lawyer skills for DSS.

The bottom line for Delaware County parents:

1.  If you can - run, literally, leave Delaware County with your precious children;

2.  If you cannot leave, but if one of the parents can switch to homeschooling - switch to homeschooling.  

It is from schools that DSS most readily grabs children, and now, with introduction of New York "red flag law", teachers received an additional tool of helping DSS grab children, by reporting gunowner/hunter parents to court as "dangerous to themselves or others";

3.  Be very afraid, and very alert for tricks of DSS.

4.  Educate yourself as to how to fight CPS in court yourself.  It is highly unlikely that your assigned counsel will help you.  

If even such a trial lawyer as Erin Neale does not have enough business in the area, to the point that she accepted a job from DSS (that is hitting the rock bottom for a trial lawyer of her class), your assigned counsel, even if they wanted to go against her, have no chance.

But they won't.  They will remember the example of attorney David Roosa who has stopped getting assigned cases from Judge Becker and then was suspended - for performing as much work and as effectively for assigned clients, as for private clients.

The recent Albany Law School study says that upstate attorneys are leaving - or starving.

Assigned cases (paying $75 an hour for in- and out-of-court work, including travel to and from court and the time spent waiting in court, which in neglect cases is considerable) may be the only for assigned attorneys to survive.

Since that is so, your assigned attorney, will not "stir the pot" just to help you out.

If they do their job for you, they will not be assigned again - and will starve.  So - they won't do it for you.   

Your only chances to beat DSS at their child-hunting game is, as I said above,

1. run from the County (better from the State), or
2. homeschool, and
3. learn how to represent yourself efficiently in court.

Don't be lazy.

Law is not rocket science, you can do it.


Read the law, research your case, use AI-assisted research (it is cheap nowadays, just 65 bucks a month, 18 cents an hour at Casetext.com).

Otherwise, you are doomed, I am serious.

Remember that there are less children born in the US nowadays and in New York State, and there are increasingly less children in Delaware County - people are fleeing New York.

See that schools are closing, see that maternity hospitals are closing, see that the size of classes in local public schools are getting much, much smaller - that's an indicator that there are less children.

But, DSS workers, and their attorneys,  still want to eat, as good or better than before.  

They do not want budget cuts.  

To prevent budget cuts, they want to steal the same number of children as before from Delaware County parents, even if there are less children in the County.

And they have already bulked up on their resources to do just that.

They now have a child interrogation bus.

They now booted out a not-so-corrupt new DSS Commissioner (who was against acquiring this bus, by the way) with the help of the previous, very corrupt,  DSS Commissioner, Bill Moon, so you know something kind of tricks are being prepared.

Now they have gone even further and, for the first time in several decades, they have hired a real litigation attorney, a really good trial lawyer, Erin Neale.

So - be prepared for an offensive operation to steal your children - they are a very much needed commodity for DSS at this time.

For an illustration of what kind of financial and other tricks DSS are doing with the kids, watch this excellent interview.  It is a little bit emotional at the beginning, but bear with it, later on really interesting details come out.

It is from the State of Michigan, but, since financial incentives for DSS to steal children come from federal law, DSS acts the same (corrupt) way throughout the country.

I cannot stress it enough - the situation is very serious.

Every parent and every child is at risk.

If you think that "it will not happen to me", think again.
When people want to keep their jobs, keep their budgets up, and your child is a commodity that will help them do that - no law or ethics will stand in the way.

The shortage of children as a commodity to fill out DSS budgets and make a living for numerous DSS partners is now so bad that presidential candidate Joe Biden, for example, suggested that the government should attach social workers to every single family, to teach parents how to raise their kids - or, rather, to be able to have a ready access to the family in order to snatch children.

And, of course, to be able to control parents, including their political views, by threatening to remove their children.

And, another presidential candidate's, Senator Bernie Sanders', wife IS a social worker.

You may expect a lot of good things if either of these 2 get elected in 2020.

So.  Read ahead of time.  Be prepared ahead of time.

Nobody will be able to help you, but yourself now.
