Like...
Parker S. Kennedy...Destroyer of the US
Housing Market & Economy!
Ousted Governor Spitzer may have
been a flawed public figure, but he had a low tolerance for Wall Street's
culture of corruption. Coming from money he seemed to despise those
billionaires who fed on the poor and the middle class:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article3559410.ece
In his role as New York Attorney General, he aggressively prosecuted Wall Streets crooks and big money institutions that betrayed the public trust. One of those companies was FIRST AMERICAN TITLE (Click Here for CNN story).
Is it a coincidence that Spitzer was targeted at a time when First American Corporation's central role in the sub-prime mortgage disaster was coming to a head and becoming a national news story? Here is a 3/14/08 CBS Evening News story on this subject:
A lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Cuomo indicates that the unlawful and unethical practice of inflating assessments was spearheaded by giant First American Corporation in collusion with mortgage issuers.
As governor Mr. Spitzer would have had the power to marshal state resources to drag complicit criminal enterprises like First American into civil and criminal courts.
The Spitzer case is eerily
similar to the case of ousted California Insurance Commissioner Chuck
Quackenbush. No sooner had Quackenbush levied a massive 2.5-million dollar
fine against First American Title than he was accused of corruption and run out
of office. http://realtytimes.com/rtpages/19991108_firstamtitle.htm
Keep in mind that as a well-connected billionaire and campaign donor, Parker S. Kennedy could merely pick up a phone and have the sympathetic ear of state or federal investigators. If federal and state authorities had devoted one-tenth of the resources to investigating the unlawful activities of First American as they did Quackenbush and Spitzer, we might have been spared the destruction of our economy by this predatory, virtual monopoly!
The question now is, will New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is suing First American Corporation for bogus property assessments, be bought off, scared off or have some skeleton discovered in his closet by friends of Parker S. Kennedy?
WE MUST SUPPORT MR. CUOMO!
Title Industry Report:
Forgery Of Title Documents On The Rise!
http://www.titlelibrary.com/forgery_a_cause_for_alarm.htm
Notice that this article talks about the exploding problem of title forgery but fails to mention that TITLE INSURERS themselves are the most dangerous potential perpetrators of such forgery! They have easy access to the public records and influence in the judicial system if they are caught. When title forgery is committed by individuals it is a serious felony. When such forgery is committed by a title insurance executive it's considered 'an adjustment'! The fox is in charge of guarding the henhouse!
Dane County Corruption & Conflicts of Interest Explain How a Counterfeit, Forged Deed is Given the Full Weight of Law in Theft of Dorrough Land!
"Crimes committed against us by Santa Ana-based First American Title Insurance Company are part of a long pattern of unlawful conduct that we have repeatedly attempted to bring to the attention of law enforcement." Mike Dorrough
"How can a forged, COUNTERFEIT TITLE continue to be
on file in Dane County?
It wasn't just the theft of a strip of land, it was the destruction of an entire
property and media archiving complex. 
The
seller in collusion with First American Title stole over an acre of land to
create an access corridor to her large parcel at the expense of making our
property worthless and our home and building non-compliant!" Mike Dorrough

Wisconsin
Court System,
More Like Cartel Than Hall of Justice!
Wisconsin's Corrupt & Incompetent Jurists:
DIS-Honorable
Judge Steven D. Ebert, Dane County Circuit Court...
...made an outrageous and unlawful decision, claiming that clandestine forgery of title documents is a valid method for transferring land. It needs to be stated again, Steven D. Ebert used the power of his Dane County 'super venue' to codify FORGERY as a valid method of transferring land from party 'A' to party 'B'. Imagine your title insurance company forging your name to a bogus deed to transfer a portion of your land back to the seller to allow the company to mitigate its liability in helping a crooked seller to convey a defective lot. Imagine a judge rewarding the forgery and fraud by putting the court's seal of approval on the resulting bogus deed. That would be like a court finding a bank robber innocent by simply retroactively declaring the stolen funds the property of robber! Ebert's role is to find in favor of the connected corporation without ever really allowing full presentation of the disfavored party's case. From that time on the large criminal enterprise (First American Title, etc.) claims that the case was 'adjudicated', when in fact only one side has been heard.
Ebert was recently reversed by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals for doing this to former State Assembly Speaker Scott Jensen.
"The Court of Appeals says the judge made two mistakes. First Judge Steven Ebert did not allow Jensen to testify about his intent when Jensen ordered state workers to illegally campaign on state time.
Second, Judge Ebert issued an erroneous jury instruction which could have had an impact on their guilty verdict." NBC15
Ebert's conduct of the Dorrough case short-circuits every precept of Western law. 'The due process clause, originating in Magna Carta and included in our Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, protects people against deprivation by government of their life, liberty, or property without a judicial determination that they had engaged in conduct warranting such deprivation (Professor Bernard H. Siegan).'
DIS-Honorable
Paul B. Higginbotham, Former Dane County Circuit Court Judge...
...openly conspired with crony Stoughton Municipal Judge/Dane County Commissioner/opposing counsel Jonathan Hajny (yes, that's one man acting in all three capacities) to deprive the Dorroughs of a level playing field in court and due process rights. Higginbotham promised Dorroughs to personally bring a notoriously incompetent and negligent attorney before the 'Board of Attorneys Professional Responsibility' but apparently was not professional or responsible enough to follow through. A wildly incompetent jurist predictably PROMOTED to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals!
DIS-Honorable
Barbara Crabb, Federal District Court Judge...
...was supposed to act as a federal check on the rampant state government corruption. In the Dorrough case she refused to hear irrefutable evidence of forgery, fraud, civil rights violations and misconduct within the Wisconsin government and court systems. Crabb's real function is to contain the stench of Wisconsin's festering boil of judicial corruption so that the feds won't get wind of the lack of due process for average citizens. A 'Good Old Girl' in the worst sense of Madison's inbred elitist system. Like Governor James Doyle, Barbara Crabb can always be counted upon to protect cartels with no regard for the 'little guy'.
DIS-Honorable
Jonathan Hajny, Stoughton Municipal Judge...
...created the defective subdivision at the core of the Dorrough case. Lied about the receipt of a response to bogus defamation counterclaims to achieve an undeserved default judgment. Used position as county commissioner to harass Dorroughs, even going so far as attempting to have their radio towers condemned. Suborned perjury & false affidavits. Used position as sitting judge to influence judges & court process.
DIS-Honorable
Shirley S. Abrahamson, Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice...
Leona Helmsley was 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms' compared to the imperious, self-promoting Shirley Abrahamson. This carpetbagger brought corrupt judicial values to the Badger State instituting a sham attorney ethics enforcement system (Office of Lawyer Regulation). That was merely an act of putting lipstick on the pig known as the 'Board of Attorney Professional Responsibility'. The Dorroughs REPEATEDLY informed this woman of the gross irregularities in their case and the outrageous misconduct of both attorneys and jurists but she refused to act. She set the tone for lawlessness, literally turning the court system into a 'prisons for profit' collection agency for connected cartels. She openly admires Chinese and Russian courts and believes that America should subject itself to the tyranny of global law where THERE ARE NO CONSTITUTIONAL or PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.
"Lawyers in the United States can now communicate with lawyers in the eastern European countries who are building new structures for democratic governance. As legal practice becomes increasingly globalized, American lawyers will be challenged to learn new legal systems...." Shirley S. Abrahamson (Fall 1997) http://www.legalexplorer.com/resources/database/PubPDFs/54-OPPLAW.pdf
The
Six Federal Crimes Committed by First American Title in the Theft of Mike
Dorrough's Land:
1- Wire-fraud across state lines from Wisconsin to the detriment of
California residents.
3- Conspiracy / Document Tampering / Criminal Slander of Title.
4- Obstruction of Justice / Perjury.
5- Forgery facilitated by social security identifier.
6- Interference with a facility and persons serving a group protected
by the ADA.
Wrongful Acts Committed by First American Title:
1-
Wire
fraud across state lines to the detriment of California residents: First American Title
Insurance Company Vice President and Chief Legal Counsel, Marvin P. Ripp faxed a blank Wisconsin Real
Estate Transfer Return form to us in Los Angeles with the specific intent of
attempting to convince his secretary, Ms. Mary Beth Heitland that the signed
(forged) return handed to her for filing with the Dane County Register of Deeds
was signed by Mrs. Dorrough. Karen
Dorrough would naturally assume that as long as she did not sign the faxed form
that no ‘correction’ could be executed.
Co-owner Michael Dorrough was never consulted.
2-
Conspiracy/Using
the judicial system to impose Prior Restraint: Marvin P. Ripp conspired with attorneys for
codefendants to improperly influence the court regarding our ongoing efforts to
make law enforcement officials aware of connected CRIMINAL ACTS not addressed in
then-pending civil litigation regarding the theft through forgery of
plaintiff’s land. Our rights under
the First Amendment and Noerr Pennington Doctrine as victims of crime were
infringed.
3-
Misrepresentation & False Advertising across
state lines through company (Ripp is an officer):
By
naming itself First American Title INSURANCE Company, Marvin P. Ripp’s company
has created a de facto consumer contract to INSURE.
That logical expectation and recent case law support the basic concept
that an insurance company has a ‘DUTY TO DEFEND’ policyholders.
In light of this expectation Mr. Ripp’s conduct is unconscionable.
Please also see <www.firstam.com> to see First American Title’s
national advertising touting a service that is supposed to PROTECT home and
property buyers. During the
discovery phase of the litigation it became clear that there was a conspiracy in
Mr. Ripp’s office to falsely represent that we had a duty to cooperate with
the land theft. First
American’s so-called “Claims Chronicles” gives many examples of
the company’s purported policy of protecting policyholders against any and all
title errors committed by any party. First
American admitted to committing the so-called ‘error’ at the heart of our
case.
4-
Obstruction
of Justice in concert with public officials and private parties (Documents
withheld/destroyed/altered):
In
1998 when we first became aware that a portion of our land had been illegally
transferred back to the seller, one of our first acts was to request any
documents that might have been required to file the new bogus deed.
First American Title Insurance Company (Ripp) responded by claiming that
they couldn’t be found. After the
forged Wisconsin Real Estate Transfer Return was finally produced law
enforcement at the state and local level refused to act due to the influence
exerted by First American and its co-defendants.
Altered documents regarding the seller’s land ownership were discovered
in the Dane County Planning Office and still law enforcement refused to act.
5-
Forgery
facilitated by social security identifier:
On
6-
Interference
with a facility and persons serving a group (sightless persons) protected
by the Americans with Disabilities Act: From
the outset the main purpose of building in Oregon, Wisconsin was to acquire
sufficient space to fulfill a lifetime dream of providing a safe campus-style
environment for visually impaired and blind people to work archiving a century
of rare recordings.
The
pivotal act in this crime is a forgery accomplished through wire fraud.
