The FOC SCAM AND THE DAMAGE IT DOES

The Friend of the Court

First things first...Let's get the basics out of the way. As the name states above in black and white. The Friend of the Court also known as the F.O.C. is not the Friend Of the Parent or Friend Of the Child. Now I would understand  how a lot of people might assume that F.O.C. could or might stand for the "Friend Of the Child" but like it or not it is without a question the Friend Of the COURT. Do not allow thier mission statement below fool you.

Mission Statement

To serve families with Friend of the Court cases, and the Kent County Community at large, in a respectful, fair, and equitable manner.

Now I know that some of you are going to automatically assume that I might be some disgruntle dead beat Dad that simply doesn't or didn't want to pay child support anymore and I have to say that, that couldn't be further from the truth. I actually found out about Title IV section D after doing some research while trying to resolve my own 13 year long nightmare with friend of the court.

Now you should probably know that I was incarcerated when my daughter was born but was released not long after her birth. so that state actually paid for her birth. which landed me a medical bill for $3,465.00. No child support order was ever given or owed. Just the cost of  my daughters birth totalling $3,465.00 

Needless to say even though I paid that 3465.00 dollars off in the first year...over the next 13 years I went to jail several times for months at a time. Had to be bailed out a few times when I could  in order to keep my jobs, and was forced to pay what I now call extortion money averaging $500.00 every show cause hearing,Which was about seven to ten hearings...on top of that... during those thirteen years they garnished all my pay checks and offset (took all ) my tax refunds.

 13 years AND 15 THOUSAND DOLLARS later they, (the Friend Of the Court) still claimed I owed for  my daughters birth...$3,465.00 dollars and they were still ordering me to show cause hearings and threatening to send me to jail if i didn't pay 500.00. every time. So I paid when I could and went to Jail when I couldn't

I know you have to be saying, Mike why didn't you just show them the payment receipts....Well....Many times  over the 13 years I did exactly that, I showed printouts of all my payments, receipts for payments, with state seals all over them. I either had them mailed to me by the FOC or gotten them from the FOC clerk at the window right before  going to a show cause hearing. Every single time... the receipts were either no good...or the print outs weren't exactly proof of my payments and every single damn time I was  threatened  by the case manager with Judge and Jail if I didnt pay $500 right then.

Where the hell was all the money I was paying going?  It sure wasnt going to the original $3,465.00   for the birth of my daughter. Well looking closely at the receipts I discovered the money I was paying was going to  so-called attorney fees, Statutory service fees and sur-charges...not one penny went to the original debt. 

GRRRRRR They were being slick as fuck and keeping me in the system...but why me and why even do it at all

The last time they did it...They extorted the rent and house payment  out of me  while i was holding my little girl and my family and I were evicted for failure to pay our rent.. But before that...while they had me in the office,,, threatening me for what would be the last time...I snapped....I mean fuckin snapped! I got up to leave...he threatened to call the cops cuz I was yelling at him. and I looked around at everyone staring and threatened the life of anyone and everyone who was gonna stand between me and the door outta there. It was  a highly dramatic event. That could have easily went south.

That was when I finally started to figure it out... there had to be something to it.I knew I wasn't the only one having these kind of problems...Over the years I had I found tens of thousands of people going through the same shit I was.

Some very serious money was being extorted from thousands of good men and women whose lives were being destryed, even my best friend of 30 yrs was going thru it and it was all being done by the FOC and the State of Michigan...there had to be some scam going on and well it was either I go postal on them or do it anouther way. A more cool headed approach. So I started doing what I do for a hobby, I started researching. It took some time but ....I found it.

To make this story short...I found (Title 4 section D) of the Social Security Act. I'll tell you more about it soon enough...but needless to say. I got on the phone and the internet with the tens of thousands of people being screwed and organised em a little. and then got on the phone to the  chief prosecutor with the Friend of the Court of Kent County...who at this point knew exactly who I was... And I told him this....

That I was going show up  the very next morning...on the front steps of the Friend of the Court with thousands of copies of Title 4 Section D and a couple hundred people with signs...explaining what (title 4 section d) was. if he ddnt give me what I wanted.

He initailly kinda blew me off and said you do what you have to mike and he hung up....I spent the rest of the day callin attornies. I called  a couple hundred of them in the tri state area. . All of them said I had a case and all of them said I'd never find an attorney that would  take the state on with this case. I was blown away. I had an open and shut case they all admitted it, but not one would take it. Hmmmmm

That very next morning I got another surprise. It was the  Procecuting attorney for the Friend Of the Court giving in to some of my demands asking"Mike what is it you want". I told I wanted off the FOC list and wanted ALL my money back that I over payed, Which would have been about 12 thousand dollars. He said no on the money but agreed to take me off the list If I stopped what I was doing.

I hate to say it...but  I took what I could get. I was very happy to finally be able to get them off my ass and with that I agreed and called the whole thing off. on a promise from him that he'd send me the letter asap. He said he would and believe it or not he did. I have it to this very day.

To this very day I kick myself in the nuts for not takin advantage of the power I had. I instantly become selfish and thought only of myself and well...I think it's time I correct a wrong.

Okay so  briefly what exactly is Title IV section D and how does it affect you. Well to summarise it...it is a federally funded incentive program designed to reward  child support order establishment and fund child support enforcement programs.  This allows the states to generate huge amounts of revenue, the more families and individuals they destroy, finagle to keep in the system the more money or incentive monies the States get from the Federal Government.

FOC and Being Riddled with Guilt

So lately...I've been thinking really hard as to what exactly my purpose in life is. I mean everyone has some kind of a purpose and there is no doubt in my mind that God has spent the last 43 years preparing me to do something for the betterment of mankind and I just haven't been able to figure it out. That was until recently when everything in my world collapsed around me and I have once again been forced to restart life, It was when I was discussing the social security acts Title 4 Section D that involves the Friend of the Court and the evil scam that it is with a dear friend of mine....that I had this most recent epiphany.


Check it out.

For 20 some odd years I have had an insatiable desire to study just about everything related to every kind of conspiracy out there. Now, I could go into an endless list of the specific subjects that I've researched over the decades, but that would be way too time consuming. So to sum it up... just know that I've covered everything from Bigfoot, 9/11 to top secret plutonium experiments on unknowing US civilians and everything in between and in doing so I have uncovered a plethora of major scams and flat out heinous crimes being done by government and non-governmental agencies. Yet to date the only thing I have ever done to stop any of it, only benefited me, and eased my own personal struggle in life.

                                                   
That said...Lately, I have been doing allot of soul searching and pondering as to what my purpose could be.   I really don't think my purpose is to study fervently until the day I die and not do anything substantial with everything I have learned or uncovered. Now don't go thinking what most people think....like why would I waste most of my life studying shit that doesn't matter or studying things that doesn't or wont make the world a better place. The ephipany I had was...they were right.
When I think about that, I have to seriously accept the fact that after almost three decades of research all I've really done was stop Friend of the Court from ripping me off 13 thousand dollars in money I did not owe and stopped them from making me miserable for so many years. So why in the world, did I ever stop?! I mean I had the head prosecutor for kent county by the balls and I fuckin let go. I had all the information I needed to bring to the public attention and bring down the huge multi trillion dollar nation wide scam that will from here on out be known as Title 4 section D.

                                                     
I look back now with some shame and realise that I could have helped so many people male, female and thier children who are stuck in the cruel and insanely greedy revolving door that is the System. But selfishness is the only reason I can figure for my stopping when the head prosecutor for friend of the court asked me what I wanted to stop what I was threatening to do. Which was correct the wrong they were doing to me and draw massive public and media attention to the scam and force a change in the system.

At that time in my life I was more than ready, willing and able to do just that....I just didn't pursue it any further once my own life got easier. I forgot all about everyone the minute he very reluctantly agreed to clear my state created FOC debt.... I had forgotten about all the families, the children and all single parents that have and are falling victim to the systems insatiable greed and evil desire to destroy the family unit.

 I do know that I've reached out to literally millions of people over my lifetime and I know that I opened thousands of peoples eyes and minds to conspiracies, the endtimes and God. That said...I know I can make a much bigger change in the world...and I think it's time  I do it.

After this holiday season passes, I'll be post a more detailed explaination of exactly how this scam works and how it affected me, which is the same way it affects millions. I'll also attempt to find a way that the System can do what it does , which is generate revenue but do it in such a way that that it doesnt destroy so many peoples lives.
