LINDBERG DOESN'T GET BITCH SLAPPED BY FEDS, SHE GETS RAPED.

In a 48 page Decision, a Federal Judge in Utah told the State of Utah, that they NEVER had any business in the religion business is the first place.

As a result, The U.E.P. Trust will go back to it's rightful owners, the people of the F LDS Chuch, and things will HAVE to revert back to where they were prior to the illegal taking. Among other things, that means that those who worked with Bruce Wisan at destroying the F LDS Church, will find themselves out on the street, rather than Church members.

The Article Below came off the front page of the Salt Lake Tribune. The Story was about the Federal Court's Decision that the taking of the Trust was un Constitutional, and therefore, illegal.

In the Decision the Judge literally said that Warren S Jeff's legal problems had NOTHING to do with the legitimacy of the taking.

SO WHAT PICTURE DID THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE PUT UP CONCERNING THE DECISION?

 

The story was about a Trust, land, property, houses, business, dairies, a wiped-out zoo with all it's animals, and people being evicted from their homes.

Like Denise Lindberg, the Tribune goes back to the old whipping boy approach, the "Evil" Warren Steed Jeffs.

In 48 pages, the Federal Court said Warren's problems and the taking of the Trust are two different matters. Maybe the Tribune needs to read that Decision, and stop pandering to the haters and bigots of the F LDS Church.

In a decision that could have major implications on a long-running court battle, a federal judge ruled Thursday that the state of Utah violated the Constitution when it took over a polygamous sect’s property trust nearly six years ago.

U.S. District Judge Dee Benson’s decision is a victory for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints. Its leader, Warren S. Jeffs, reinstated his legal control over the church last week from the Texas jail cell where he is awaiting trial on charges of bigamy and sexual assault.

"Virtually from its first step after it decided to reform the trust, the state court was in forbidden territory," Benson wrote. 

"The defendants speak at long length about how bad — even criminal — Warren Jeffs’ behavior was, but they say little that is relevant to defend their own wholesale interference with an established church."

(The Salt Lake Tribune needs to read these words again, they don't seem to understand the English language.)

While state attorneys appeared to argue that the $110 million trust was supporting Jeffs’ criminal acts, that wasn’t the case officials made for taking it over in 2005 — and it hasn’t been proven in court, Benson wrote. The church’s property was inextricably tied to its religion, and the state’s attempt to pull the two apart was a violation of the separation between church and state, he decided.

"It’s a really great day for constitutional rights," said FLDS attorney Rod Parker, who represented 6,000 members of the church in the case. "It takes a lot of courage on the part of judge to say, ‘OK, I know this group is out of favor, but this isn’t right.’ "

In the short term, the decision grants a preliminary injunction blocking the sale of the 700-acre Berry Knoll Farm, considered sacred by the church. The long-term future of the trust, however, wasn’t immediately clear. A separate order will define the "precise extent" of the injunction, Benson wrote, though no hearings or deadlines were immediately set.

Attorneys for the state will likely appeal.

"We strongly disagree with Judge Benson’s ruling, and now we’re going to look at our options, including an appeal," said Paul Murphy, spokesman for the Utah Attorney General’s Office. Officials will consider their next move in a meeting next week. 

(I read the Decision. The Federal Court Answered each and every Argument used by Utah for the Taking. Yes, they will probably Appeal, why not, it's certainly not their money going down the tube. 

In the Decision, the Federal Court ripped Judge Lindberg a new one. This was no mere bitch slap, she got raped, justifiably.)

Valued at $110 million, the trust contains nearly all the property in the group’s home base in the twin towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz., along with its settlement in Canada.

Called the United Effort Plan, the trust was created in 1942 to fulfill the fundamentalist Mormon principle of communally holding property.

Before the state takeover, it suffused nearly all aspects of life for the church’s approximately 10,000 members. Their homes belonged to the trust, they worked in trust fields, factories and dairies, and the food they ate came from the trust, Benson wrote. All decisions were made by church leaders based on FLDS principles such as commitment to the faith.

The 2005 state takeover was virtually unprecedented, Benson wrote.

"The defendants cite no case that is even suggested to be remotely similar enough to the instant case to support their defense. This is because there isn’t one," he wrote.

(This is a Legal fact that NOT ONE LAWYER OR JUDGE IN UTAH UNDERSTOOD?)

The Attorney General’s Office made the move after FLDS trustees failed to respond to lawsuits filed in 2004 by former members seeking damages for abuse they suffered under Jeffs. The plaintiffs included a nephew who said Jeffs and other uncles sexually assaulted him as a child and six "lost boys," young men who said they were forced to leave the community to reduce the competition for wives.

(Three points for the Tribune for including child sex into the story, this will sell.)

State officials said they feared people could lose their homes if those plaintiffs were awarded hefty sums in damages. 

(Which explains why UTAH took over and started evicting F LDS Church members from their homes and gave bogus "Dead's" to non-members only.)

The trust was structured so that if it failed, ownership reverted to Jeffs, who, in 2006, was charged with rape as an accomplice for presiding over the marriage between an unwilling 14-year-old girl and her cousin. His conviction was later overturned.

(I'm shocked the Tribune acknowledged the over turning of the case. Usually the story line is merely that he was an accomplice to allowing a man to "Rape" his cousin. By the way, there was NEVER anyone convicted of raping the girl, so being an accomplise to something that never happened was a neat trick on Warren's part, but had WHAT to do with the Trust? According to the Federal Judge; SQUAT!) 

Third District Judge Denise Lindberg decided to reform the trust. She tried to avoid running afoul of the separation of church and state by removing religion from the trust itself. But for the FLDS, religion and property were so intertwined that any action was unconstitutional, Benson said.

"One may as well attempt to make Deuteronomy secular, or the Koran, or to eliminate football from the Super Bowl," he wrote. 

(Or give her a brain.)

The only option the court had was revoking the trust — but that might have meant it reverted to Jeffs.

(Actually, revoking the Trust was NEVER an option; it is written, almost word for word, to the same exact Trust used by the LDS Church. If the F LDS Church Trust was "Illegal", so was the LDS Trust. Now as a member of the LDS Church, Denise couldn't choose that option, now could she?) 

Instead, the court appointed accountant Bruce Wisan to run the trust.He began the process of separating the homes into subdivisions and giving back property to excommunicated members. At first, no FLDS members protested the decision or responded to repeated efforts to involve them in the case. Jeffs apparently ordered his followers to "answer them nothing" and disdained the land on the Utah-Arizona border in favor of a compound built in Texas, Benson wrote.

But the members no longer donated their time, labor and money to the trust. They stopped paying property taxes. With little money coming in and fees mounting, the trust fell into debt.

Then, in 2008, the same year Texas authorities raided Yearning for Zion Ranch, "Jeffs apparently had a change of opinion," Benson wrote. When Wisan proposed selling Berry Knoll Farm, the FLDS entered the legal fray.

A cascade of court hearings in St. George, Salt Lake City and Kingman, Ariz., followed. When the state court denied their petition to intervene in the case, the FLDS filed a federal lawsuit in 2008. Benson decided then to wait and let it play out in state court.

With additional legal costs adding to the financial woes, the trust fell more than $3 million in debt by August 2009. Conflicts over who had rights to farms, homes and the church cemetery proliferated. Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff admitted the situation was a "mess."

(His "Mess", he is in the pocket of dentist Dan Fisher, and was the front man for the Taking from day one.)

The church won delays of the Berry Knoll Farm sale, but it lost in Utah Supreme Court, which unanimously ruled last year that members had waited too long to challenge the takeover and restructuring. In October, FLDS attorneys revived the federal suit. Benson granted their request for a temporary restraining order.

"It is one thing for a state to tell a church and its members that they, just like all other residents of the state, may not smoke peyote, or commit child sexual abuse, or violate any other law of general application," Benson wrote. "But it is quite another thing, altogether, to reorganize the religious activities of such churches and their members to make them conform to the states’ version of appropriate secular behavior."

(There goes that pesky Constitution once again, Denise.)

But Wisan’s partner, W. Val Oveson, said he has been "preserving property and protecting the homes for families living on the UEP property ... for the last six years. 

(For NON-F LDS Church members only.)

Clearly, the federal court is directly at odds with all five members of the Utah Supreme Court. 

(Yes, the Federal Judge understands what the Constitution has to say about separation of Church and State. Do the 5 LDS members of the Utah Supreme Court bow to the Constitution, or the Quorum of the 12?) 

We will continue to do our best to administer the trust while an even higher court resolves this dispute."

($1,000.00 bet says that Wisan is already lobbying the State to pay his bill for pilfering and ravaging the Trust assets over the past 7 years. He most certainly isn't going to be paid through the Trust for stealing it from the F LDS Church. Besides, cousin Bruce has a bigger problem on his hands; his "Trespassing" on F LDS property has now become Burglery of an Occupied dwelling since the Federal Court has Decided he had no Legal right on the properties to begin with. 

Bruce may end up in prison with a Felony conviction added to his Resume'.) 

And that's my opinion.

THE WHITEWASH IS PROGRESSING

The rotund head of the Childrens Abuse Center of San Angelo, Texass, Judge Browns wife, Debra,  seems to be on-track to skate away from her Las Vegas junkets easier than Peggy Fleming.


When the damsel and a gaggle of her gal-pals began cavorting around the Country with IRS 501 (c) (3) Federal Tax Free Dollars, the question was asked how and why she would be doing that. 

Like Dan Fisher, the Utah dentist who uses his Tax Free money in his vendetta against the Churches he doesn't like, Debra and the broad broards of San Angelo CASA seem to think that they have their own personal piggy banks to harass and persecute them dreaded Mormon men who have the audacity of actually wearing the pants in their families, something these versions of females despise. 

Below is the story in one local rag. I found it fascinating in several respects, not the LEAST of which was the way CASA has managed to make damned sure their name was not associated with that of the judges wife. For the past 3 years now, a story was NEVER printed in this very same paper without claiming the junketeer was the Head of the San Angelo CASA, never mentioning a word about the Children's Abuse Center (CAC). Talk about throwing poor Deb under the bus!   

Here's the good old boy version of the cover-up, followed by what is REALLY going on in babyland.

SAN ANGELO, Texas — An out-of-town firm will interview members of the Children's Advocacy Center next week and go over the center's documents as part of an internal investigation concerning Debra Brown, the center's executive director.
(Like who? The Girl Scout's? 4-H Club?). 

Brown was still on administrative paid leave while board members conduct an "internal personnel investigation" that solely targets Brown, agency president Monty Stanley said.
(Get that distance between her and CASA!)

The investigation could produce findings within a week, Stanley said Friday.
According to a 2009 annual report, the center operated on an $810,000 budget. In the 2008 annual report, its total funding was more than $1 million. Funding sources include largely grants and contracts, contributions and money raised through special events.
(Horseshit! Read the 990 from the IRS. Funding comes mostly from the Government. That makes them Taxpayor dollars sending her fat ass to Las Vegas)

Heather Ward, a senior staff member, was made acting executive director. Stanley declined to reveal the reason Brown was placed on paid leave but said the board saw a need for extra scrutiny in December.
(Heather Ward is a CASA. The story tries to imply she is a staff member of the Childrens Abuse Center (CAC), when in fact, she is a CASA.) 

"I'm not at liberty to discuss the particulars out of fairness to Debra and the center," said Stanley, who also is the human resources director for the Standard-Times.
(Heaven forbid the rag comment on any on-going investigation, right?)

The matter first came to light when Champagne and Diamonds, an annual Valentine's Day fundraising event for the CAC, was postponed indefinitely. The CAC will be better able to set a date for the fundraiser after the investigation is complete, Stanley said.
(Horseshit! The paper needs to read it's own paper. FIRST she was fired, THEN the "Fundraiser" was canceled. The paper is trying to deflect the real purpose of the audit, which has nothing to do with a silly little 20 grand party.) 

The event is the agency's biggest fundraiser of the year, bringing in about $20,000 in past years. Stanley said a "virtually none" of the Champagne and Diamonds sponsors wanted a refund. Those who did told board members they planned on donating for future fundraisers.
(Texan's aren't known for their brains, they would NEVER admit they were taken) 

"The common response was, 'Keep it and use it as you see fit. We trust it will be put back to good use,' " he said.
(Gee guys, who ever said this had anything to do with money?)

Diedre McCoy, a spokeswoman for the CAC, said the San Angelo CAC began in 1992, a couple of years after a need was seen across the nation for a place where law enforcement, Child Protective Services and advocates could communicate with one another.
(There's money to made in stealing children.)

McCoy said Brown became the second executive director in 1995 or 1996.
Brown, the wife of Tom Green County Judge Mike Brown, could not be reached for comment. Judge Brown did not return messages.
(Be very careful boys, Judge Brown decides who gets paid, and how much in that town, you DON"T want to piss him off!)

The San Angelo Police Department made the decision weeks ago to recuse itself from playing a role in the investigation. Assistant Chief Jeff Fant said the department was alerted that something would be made public shortly before it was printed in the Standard-Times.
(Gee guys, who said the "Investigation" was possibly criminal?)

Fant said the reason the police chief and his executive staff recused themselves was that detectives with the department work closely with Hope House, one of the CAC's programs.
(So the Chief says if there's any nexus between his Office and the accussed, he recuses himself? Since WHEN?)

Chief Tim Vasquez's position on the CAC board also was taken into consideration.
(The Chief is afraid he can't do his job fairly because he knows the accused?)

Spokespeople from the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office and Texas Rangers said they were not involved in the investigation.
(Hi guys, would you like to investigate the wife of Judge Mike Brown?)

A spokesman for the National Children's Advocacy Center said each charter is "self-supporting and self-governing."
(Taking a page from CASA and distancing herself from the front of the fan.)

A San Angelo city spokesman said no city funds go toward CAC.
(Now ask him about City funds for CASA)

Employees can contribute their own money to the organization through the United Way.

In 2009 and 2010, the United Way of the Concho Valley gave $82,000 to CAC's Project Healing Feelings, according to an e-mail from the United Way. Project Healing Feelings provides children in crisis with forensic interviews, therapy, a friend of the court, social service referrals and court preparation.
(82 grand and 20 grand make 102 grand. We're talking a million here folks, so let's keep our eye on the ball.)

According to the agency, 952 children were served in 2009, and 99.2 percent of the children helped in the past five years have found permanent homes safe from abuse and neglect.
(Very strange claim! According to Texas CPS, 1 in every 6 children in Tom Green County in abused and or neglected. Is San Angelo full of shit or is Texas?)

(As for where the money went, we have to look towards those Caribbean Cruises she took and the Vegas junkets. Here's a few pics of Ms. Judge Brown and the CASA blimps in action.)
