Kasim Reed: No Water for Homeless People

Prison investors say, "Hurry and evict Atlanta's homeless people. Arresting them for vagrancy increases our prison profits!"
Georgia Supreme Court Takes Homeless Task Force Case, as City Threatens Water Shut-off Again

(APN) ATLANTA -- On August 29, 2014, the Supreme Court of Georgia issued a ruling in two related emergency appeals brought by the Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless. The court accepted the Task Force's direct appeal; and dismissed the other appeal, an application for immediate review, as duplicative. The appeals case going forward is S14M1956.

  

Meanwhile, the City of Atlanta has again threatened to turn off the Task Force's water due to unpaid bills that the City claims amount to approximately 580,000 dollars, unless the Task Force pays the amount purportedly due by Monday, September 22, 2014.

Yesterday, Friday, September 19, the City refused to accept a cashier's check from the Task Force for 100,000 dollars, or to make a payment plan for the past amounts owed.

Atlanta's corporate media, particularly the "Fresh Loaf" blog, have predicted the Task Force may have to close, even quoting the United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta as saying they have an alleged transition plan in place for the homeless men, women, and children at the shelter.

However, the Task Force tells Atlanta Progressive News that they have emergency plans to transition to an independent water supply, which includes a rainwater catchment system and contracting with a private entity to ship in water.

"The rainwater catchment system we're already done implementing. In the meantime, we have private resources coming in with water on Monday. We expect to have alternative sources of potable water, and we're asking people to bring water," Anita Beaty, Executive Director of the Task Force, told APN.

"The main thing is, right now, this is part of our plan to become sustainable, and not to depend on funding, public or private, but to be sustainable in this building, with our residents. This could be a model project. This is our first step toward that," Beaty said.

"If anybody [such as the United Way] has alternative space, we've needed to know it every single day. Now they say they are going to open up 150 beds at Springdale, we say hallelujah, where have they been?" Beaty said.

"We don't expect to go anywhere, there's no eviction order. The sharks are swimming, the sharks are circling. They smell blood, but we say, wait a minute, you're a little premature. They can turn off our water. If we have... alternative sources for potable water, we cannot be evicted. It would take a process that really belongs to Fulton County. We have to have potable water available - it has to be drinkable. That's what we're planning to do," Beaty said.

SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA TAKES DIRECT APPEAL

The Supreme Court of Georgia accepted the Task Force's direct appeal of an order by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Craig Schwall, dated August 08, 2014, in the Task Force's litigation with Premium Funding Solutions (PFS), Central Atlanta Progress, Manny Fialkow, and other co-conspirators in the effort to sabotage the homeless shelter.

As previously reported by APN, that August 08 order allowed PFS to file a dispossessory action against the Task Force in Superior Court, lifting a stay that has been in place for four years.

Presumably, the dispossessory action would have been transferred to Schwall, where it would have been stayed.

PFS did not even wait one day, filing their dispossessory action onAugust 08, following up with a Motion to Compel Payment of Rent on August 11, 2014.

The Task Force then filed a notice of appeal in Superior Court, giving notice of its plans to undertake a direct appeal to the Supreme Court.

On August 25, 2014, the Task Force filed a Motion for Stay/Supersedeas, asking the Supreme Court to stay the lower court's proceedings; and on August 26 the Task Force filed an Interlocutory Application with the Supreme Court.

The Task Force enumerated several errors in its Motion, including:

"1. Having all of the parties before it and jurisdiction to hear all claims, the Court erred in finding it was compelled to authorize one party to bring a separate dispossessory action over the same transactions and occurrences.

We are now in our 2014 fundraising cycle. Our goal is to raise 5,000 dollars throughout the year in 2014. So far, we've raised $2,329.98, with only $2,670.02 left to go! Can you help us reach our goal for the year with a donation of five dollars or more? Thank you to our readers for your support!

Atlanta plans a big, beautiful new stadium that will cost billions. Atlanta opened its new Center for Civil and Human Rights this spring, which cost roughly $2 million. But the city will turn off the WATER at the homeless center. Good job, Reed and prison investors. See photographs below.

Wells Fargo Protest September 13


MEDIA ADVISORY

WHAT:     Protest at Wells Fargo
WHERE:   40 Journal Square in Jersey City
WHEN:     Saturday September 13th, 2014, from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm

Grandmother’s Supporters to Hold Protest at Wells Fargo 
40 Journal Square Plaza in Jersey City

Orange, NJ – More than twenty years ago Susie Johnson – affectionately known as “Grandma Susie” – purchased her home in Orange, NJ. She instantly fell in love with the home and the neighborhood, frequently hosting barbeques and spending her days sitting on her front porch talking to neighbors. Now, more than 20 years later, Grandma Susie is elderly, disabled, and has been evicted from her home by Wells Fargo.

In addition, Wells Fargo has been torturing Ms. Susie with their cruel and unnecessary behaviors to cause her more distress. Chris Beck, owner, Express Asset Recovery, scrapped her cars including her deceased husbands’ custom van. They stole her appliances and broke and damaged many of her antiques and destroyed televisions and her refrigerator. Stephanie Soondar, their attorney, has been calling Grandma Susie's attorney threatening to dispose of her belongings even after the title and contract had been turned over to Grandma Susie.

We will be protesting the continued abuses of Susie Johnson, 80, an elderly and disabled woman who did not and does not deserve this abuse. All she says she wants to do is go home! Allow Susie to go home!

Mrs. Johnson is being represented by Jon Rory Skolnick, an attorney located in Springfield, N.J. The interesting part of this case is that Mrs. Johnson was foreclosed by Washington Mutual Bank, then J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. The foreclosure and sheriff sale was illegal, as three years prior to the commencing of foreclosure, Mrs. Johnson's loan was sold to Mass Mutual Insurance Company. Throughout the foreclosure proceedings, Washington Mutual, then J.P. Morgan misrepresented to the Court that they owned the note and mortgage, when in fact they had no interest by reason of the prior sale to Mass Mutual.

We are pleased to announce our upcoming September 11th Blogtalkradio show. I know this is a day when we honor the fallen in the 9/11 tragedy, but I also want us to remember that there is a war on our children and families through our courts and social service systems in North America. We are being terrorized daily by the hundreds of thousands and the casualties are immeasurable. Tonight we are doing a show on Parental Alienation, a brutal crime that is destroying our families and our children's future. This is an important topic and although a difficult one, it needs to be addressed to stop the devastation.

It is our privilege to welcome on Wendy Archer from Watauga, Texas, Co-Founder at Parental Alienation Awareness Organization USA and Parental Alienation Awareness Advocate. Wendy was inspired and motivated to become an advocate after becoming the victim of what many called the worst known case of Parental Alienation and the most corrupt family court case in the history of Tarrant County, Texas. Wendy's infamous case prompted the filmmakers of the most important documentary of our time Divorce Corp to feature her story and to especially focus on the corruption and judicial misconduct in her case. She is also a Family Court Reform Advocate who has met with legislators in Washington, D.C. on the issues of child abuse through Parental Alienation, an epidemic crisis facing our families in North America today.

We are also pleased to be bringing on Trena Thompson from Ontario, Canada, speaking from the unique perspective of one of those children. She has been speaking out in honour of her late father, Ken Thompson and wants her father to be honoured and recognized as a hero to all other parents who have endured such oppression. She is not only talking about systemic abuse, she has the documents to prove it. After his death from the stress of his ordeal, Trena discovered that her father had hidden over 500 of his documents amongst her own files. It is a paper trail which tells clearly the story of one of the worst cases of abuse of power orchestrated against a man whose only wish was to be a dad.

Finally we have Glen Gibellina from Sarasota Florida, a father who has been fighting a 10 year battle in the family court system to see his daughter. Glen has become a Judicial Court Watcher and now fights tirelessly as an advocate to help others going through the same systemic abuses. Glen has been working with the Legislature to pass 'Malachi's Law' to prevent Parental Alienation and create accountablility in our family courts. After having his daughter full time after removing her from an abusive environment Glen became the victim of Parental Alienation and Judicial Misconduct and has now only seen his daughter 5 days in 5 years. Despite going through this type of pain Glen has become an inspiration to others on how to speak out and fight for your rights as a parent.
