Trainwrecked Americans: land contracts, mortgages, lawyers and IRAs

Now that former N.C. governor Mike Easley is in the hot seat, we learn of all the opportunities and assets made available to him as governor. He had trips abroad, free travel, land opportunities and the rich-and-famous at his service. Perhaps he’s about to experience the trauma of trainwrecked Americans––those who’ve had the doors of opportunity closed, because they’re targeted, despised or socially written off.

Let’s hope he nor his family ever experiences the despair and loneliness of social blacklisting. If he does, perhaps he will still have enough power to enact laws against those forms of hate crimes.
When a person finds himself set up for derailment, nothing will happen as expected. There will be difficulty, errors and omissions in nearly every endeavor. Rumors will travel ahead carefully whispered by well-connected, secretive people.

Christianity carries the age-old stories of betrayal, deception, corruption, unjust lawyers, judges, politics and social detachment. In the Bible Jesus would arrive at a town knowing rumors, whether good or bad, had arrived before him. He was up against the elites of his day for threatening their power and control over the masses. He would quiz curious crowds learning of gossip and rumors preceding his arrival. Human nature changes little through the centuries, and the beauty of good religions lies within its wisdoms.

Easley was governor of North Carolina for eight years. Before that, he was Attorney General for eight years. While he was Attorney General Amy Frink was murdered, and a few years later I gave North Carolina authorities new information regarding her murder. Within six months my own son disappeared and was dead in Alabama with similar circumstances. Easley was still Attorney General.

With former governors, Alabama’s Siegelman and Carolina’s Easley both in the hot-seat, there are several things-in-common: NASCAR affiliations, Democrat party, Catholic religion, lottery proponents, maybe more. Several entities and industries connect the two states.

I’ve joked if they took three things out of the South, they’d take the D out of Dixie: country music, race cars, & fishin.’ All three are connected to this ongoing story, and sailboats, planes and yachts are others.

Land Contract:
When I entered into the land contract in Kentucky the papers were drawn for the seller by Senator Dan Kelly. The terms were $25,000 cash down and within a year I would have to find financing. Having lived in the streets with a credit card awaiting the divorce settlement I had some debts which would prohibit an easy loan. But when the courts are sitting on money, it destroys credit, and that’s a part of the “game.” Having been married 23 years I had no credit of my own. Therefore I saw little other choice of having a home than a land contract.

Initially I contacted Conseco, a company that offered loans to higher risk customers for a price. What I found is the telephone quote was not the same when it arrived on paper. The papers requiring signature for the '30 year noose,' were two percentage points higher than the verbal quote.
For those unaware who are conditioned to trust this system, be sure to ALWAYS carefully read the fine print, every word, every number. NEVER, EVER trust a person's word-of-mouth before signing any document or agreement. If there is any question or confusion as to terms, do not be afraid to postpone the signature. Then find help before signing anything.

The Conseco loan officer was very nice, and I believe she discovered she’d been caught up in trouble, she left to work for Wells Fargo, but before leaving advised that the land contract and financing situation was “an extortion issue.” It did no good to seek any form of help from lawyers or otherwise, in my position in any endeavor. The upper eschelons were poised to look the other way.

So, the seller went around telling people he’d scare me off the farm, keep the cash and get his farm back. In essence, $25,000 would disappear. It wasn’t long before I realized how serious this was for myself and the only friends I had left.

My Georgia lawyer had already pulled what I considered some shifty moves, so couldn’t be trusted, still the courts had ordered him to fulfill the decree, which is called being stuck. He advised me of the divorce trial a day before, giving me less than 24 hours to be in Georgia. He avoided and would not return phone calls, and he, like George Childs, the previous lawyer, had taken a personal vacation when I was in trouble. Schatten played the waiting game with results. It was as though the lawyers were “in on” the destruction game. Schatten had even said he and the Judge were at a Cobb County Christmas cocktail party with the opposing lawyer, Michael Broadbear laughing about me and my case. It was a part of his strategy, and I so wondered who was on the other side of it all.

Only a man from so affluent a family could know the power of ridicule so well. It’s what the elites do best. Easley might be finding it out soon and I certainly hope not, because it’s very painful.

What these types of lawyers do is wear a client’s patience, make them so angry they’ll do something stupid. Then the lawyer flips the story against his client, playing the harassment or “crazy" card. George Childs used the harassment accusation, and Schatten kept the game going. Childs, at least, saw the case through my son’s disappearance and death before he dropped out of the game.

Now apparently he’s in collections, and maybe should join the the Lexington attorney Sherman, or Sherman Aquisitions who seemed to be involved in all of this from the get-go.

The sad thing about attorneys is their system is set so a person can be stuck because the attorney has the last word, and bar associations are weak with reprimands. In finding an alternate lawyer the original lawyer is noted with the possibility of a contact. Somewhere along the way there's a possible meeting of the minds, and whatever transpires in those conversations can ruin a client for good in every area of his/her life following from state to state, town to town.

Somehow in contacting Willie Gary of Florida, Schatten later ended up with Gary’s Atlanta paternity suit, and I’ve wondered since whether now deceased,Tommy Schlette, in recommending Gary was somehow connected to Schatten. There’s no way to know, because although I suspect foul play in Tommy Schlette’s death, going to police with the Amy Frink murder was the beginning of my ten-year-ongoing-nightmare. There are some things I believe law enforcement and police never question and I've learned with the loss of my own son, and other witnesses to have died in all of this mess, it's best not to get involved.

Schlette had maintained my son was still alive, and I have contacted his family to notify them I strongly suspected foul play in their brother's death. Schatten had advised me he believed my husband had murdered our son, and that he and his P.I. could get information about his death––for a price. Contacting authorities was discouraged.
Kentucky attorney O’Koon said no Georgia lawyers would handle my case. So, there is a blacklisting network among them.

Schatten is from a prominent family strongly supportive of the college two of my talented children attended. The “deceased” musically talented son had auditioned for a private, one-man musical presentation at Kennesaw State University, just before he disappeared.

  • The IRA issue works much the same way as attorneys, because if an entity controls an individual's IRA savings and the customer desires to move it, the company's rep will say they have to know where the assets are going. So that creates another chain-of-fools group privy to a person’s personal information and assets.

    The people who make all of these laws, in Congress through lobbyists and lawyers are not the ones who will be abused by them. Like Mike Easley knows, for those on top, everything is delivered on a silver platter, well-secured and protected from hassle and delays.

    For the rest of us, life and finance isn’t quite so well-lubricated.
