Janet Phelan on "Human Ownership"

The Gravest story Ever Told...

Conservatorship conjures up images of the aged being cared for with gentle kindness in a flowery bower, warm and safe...
Take that image and flip it: The victim of Conservatorship Gone Wrong, aged, stripped of all assetss - and I mean bank accounts, home, belongings, even food and medicine  - by a triad comprised of corrupt conservator, corrupt attorney and a corrupt judge.  The triad rounds up a bunch of people and pays them to sign a affadavit stting that the victim is not competant to run a life.  And that's it.  End of story.
The book is closed.  
The victim of the scam is as good as death for all the self-determination that remains. 
And forget  the courts and the legal system; those doors are closed.
And this "Human Ownership" is not just a threat to the elderly...Oh Ho Ho No:  It can happen to anybody for any reason or no reason. It can be used to silence activists of all ages.
Here is investigative reposter - and exile -  Janet Phelan.
Listen to the audio.  It will indeed shock you
