Seeing the forest behind the agencies - The
Diana Luppi Story (c)
By Muriel Sluyter
Do you
remember what a conservator is? It is a person who is assigned to
protect the interests of someone who is incapable of caring for
his/her own affairs.
If someone is too young or is incapable for some reason, a conservator
is given the job of conserving his or her assets, which means
protecting them.
At least that is what it meant before we found out that there was a
question as to the meaning of the word "is," as in "It
all depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.
We also found that we didn't know the meaning of the word
"alone."
Well, now we can add the word "conservator" to that list of
words we don't understand.
At this stage, it all depends on what the meaning of the word
"conservator" is.
Unfortunately, it no longer means what it used to mean.
Now it means the person who is assigned by the court to sign away the
rights of someone who refuses to sign away his/her own rights.
That's the problem Diana Luppi was having with the Forest Service.
[It was] demanding that she sign a special-use authorization so
she could drive on the access road that led to her driveway.
Problem was, she already had the right of access that was superior to
the one they wanted her to sign. Hers had been secured by a patent
that the first owner of the property had obtained from the federal
government way back before the Forest Service even existed.
The Forest Service has taken over that road, although it is actually a county road owned by Archuleta County, Colorado. The paperwork says it is a county road, and the county is responsible for its upkeep, but the Forest Service has taken the road and forced the owners to sign away their rights. Miss Luppi refused to sign away her rights: she was given a ticket for driving on the road without the "special" permit, even though she had paid them money for upkeep.
She was tried and convicted of driving on the road without
authorization.
She was tried and convicted without the benefit of counsel.
She was put on probation and ordered to sign the authorization by the
court, under penalty of incarceration.
She wouldn't sign.
Then the court decided it had better appoint an attorney.
He was appointed by the court, and it was job to get her to sign the
paper, but she still refused.
She was being charged with violating her probation, because she was ordered to sign away her rights as a condition of probation.
She wouldn't do it.
The Judge said the authorization was going to be signed even if she
[the judge] had to appoint a conservator to do it.
Now the court is indeed going to appoint a conservator for Miss Luppi,
whose specific job will be to sign that special-use authorization.
Miss Luppi is not being assigned a conservator because she is
incompetent; the court is just indulging in tyranny.
Does that surprise any of us? It shouldn't, after watching Clinton thumb his nose at the Constitution and sign hundreds of executive orders that deprive the citizens of their civil rights. But now Diana Luppi is speaking out!
She wants everyone to know that "this could happen to
anyone."
It's like the show Scams-n-Scandals? says: You could be next.
Remember that saying that came out of Europe after Hitler's day. It went something like this. When they came for the Jews, I didn't object, because I wasn't a Jew. When they came for the Christians, I didn't object, because I wasn't a Christian. By the time they came for me, there wasn't anyone left to object.
