Exhibit 18 Dane Peterson “. . . and have Emory pick up the tab for the difference to the full amount.”

Exhib 18 Tab 18 Dane Peterson: “…and have Emory pick up the tab for the difference to the full amount.”

Baker Donelson Attorneys Steve Hall and Bob Brazier on July 11, 2014, filed Exhibit 18 along with 27 other exhibits in Judge Craig Schwall’s Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia. All these exhibits bring evidence in a lawsuit pitting The Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless, Inc. against Premium Funding Solutions, Inc., Central Atlanta Progress and Atlanta Downtown Improvement District. These defendants are accused among other things of racketeering, tortious interference, seizing property fraudulently, bribery, and defamation. How ironic that on this 18th day of September 2014, Task Force attorneys learned this a.m. that the City of Atlanta is scheduled to shut-off water at the Peachtree-Pine facility that presently houses some 400 man and 90 women and children.

Some of the members of TEAM GOLIATH who want these redundant men, women and children out of sight and out of mind are the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Atlanta Downtown Improvement District, Cousins Properties, Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Atlanta United Way, Rocktenn, Inc., Emory Health Care, Inc. and Emory University. Any person remotely familiar with downtown Atlanta’s inveterate flow of corruption expects behavior that disappears homeless people and shuts off drinking and bathing water to women and their babies. For half a century Central Atlanta Progress leadership has disappeared redundant people from their purview. The Chamber of Commerce across the land is synonymous with exclusivity and selective enforcement. The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce had a hand in the recent Atlanta Public Schools’ cheating scandal. Heads have rolled and will continue to roll. Five‘ll get you ten that no more heads from CAP or the Chamber will roll. A.J. Robinson’s pal “Sammy” Williams left the scene of the crime soon after the scandal broke.

Chicanery and deceit occur as business as usual at CAP and City Hall. But snow white Emory? The nun-run Mercy Housing? These doers of all good, Emory Health Care, Inc.? Emory University? Stainless steel Cousins Properties who employs caddies and turns potential waste dumps into championship golf courses for the rich? No way! Exhibit 18 proves that these untainted members of the TEAM GOLIATH conspiracy employ the soiled Manny Fialkow and CAP to do their dirty when it comes to putting “them into foreclosure” and “kicking them out” of their property.
Exhibit 18 names Central Atlanta Progress, Cousins Properties, Inc., Emory Health Care, Inc. and ROCKTENN, Inc. Manny Fialkow smells the green as he volunteers to put them into foreclosure and to kick them out of the building that he is helping to steal.

Sorry for not catching you by phone. Quick question – is there any value in figuring out how to buy the note with Manny? The idea would be to let Manny get the discount from Mercy / ICE at $800 or so, and have Emory pick up the tab for the difference to the full amount. What John (Head of Emory Health Care, John Fox) was thinking is that Mercy / ICE would be more likely to sell the note if they didn’t have to sell it at a “discount.”
Does this make sense? Probably haven’t figured out all the issues, but this was the reason for my call last week.

RE:

Perhaps possible, Manny could buy at par as well but he rightfully feels like there should be some discount if he was the one to foreclose and kick them out. The issue now which we have not yet confirmed is that Mercy may have agreed with the borrower to not sell to anyone during their next 90 days, or even if they haven’t legally agreed perhaps they told the borrower such. We are trying to get an answer to this question. Stay tuned.

Note: Exposure reaches a new height and a new depth in this Exhibit 18. ROCKTENN is owned by former Emory University Board of Trustees member, Brad Curry. This is the Curry who went along with AJ’s van load of folks to visit Dan Cathy at the Chic-fil-a headquarters. Brad Curry is no part-time English professor or some other low life shuffling around the Emory campus. He’s up there high in the Emory power structure. Brad Curry brings power and influence, Emory muscle to the conspiracy. Dane Peterson mentions “John’s thinking.” And who is John? He’s head of Emory Health Care, Inc. Then Craig Jones of Stainless Steel Cousins Properties is deep in the mix. And Dane “DRIVING MISS DAISY” Peterson parrots John Fox’s suggestion to give Manny Fialkow a discount. And AJ Robinson adds for good measure that Manny deserves a discount since he’s the one putting “them” into foreclosure and then kicking them out. Dane Peterson is the CEO of Emory Hospital downtown, located almost directly across from Peachtree Pine on hallowed Peachtree Street.
Years ago Carl Hartrampf, Anita Beaty and eight men from Peachtree Pine met with Dane Petersen in our conference room. He had called. He then walked across Peachtree Street. While exchanging pleasantries, Dane Peterson, the head of the Emory Hospital said he loved Atlanta so much because as a newcomer to Atlanta he’s reminded often of DRIVING MISS DAISY. What did Dane mean? Is Atlanta nice to drivers and caddies?
The Emory Proton Therapy Center is being built right now on North Avenue some six blocks north of our 96,000 square-foot building. Our building would have been more convenient for Emory.

WATER SHUT-OFF SCHEDULE ALERT!!!

A City of Atlanta attorney and the City’s Commissioner of Watershed Management met this morning, September 18, 2014, with the Task Force’s attorney S. Hall, Task Force Board Member Carl Hartrampf and Task Force Director Anita Beaty. The Commissioner informed the Task Force that the water at the Peachtree-Pine Facility is scheduled to be shut off on Monday, September 22. Only a payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the City’s water department by Friday afternoon can avert the shut-off of water at the emergency facility where last night 432 people resided. Of this total 432 people, 42 are women and 28 are children. Let me ask you to do one thing or three of three things that will help you. One, go to the Task Force website, http://www.atlantataskforceforthehomeless.org and send a donation of money. If you earmark your donation for “water” we will get it to the City of Atlanta Water Department. Two, bring all the bottled water you can gather to 477 Peachtree Street (Pine Street door). Three, pray for the soul of a City of Atlanta that can wrongfully cut funds and then turn around and shut-off water keeping homeless women and their children from water, a basic necessity of life.

Whatever your political persuasion, TEAM GOLIATH conspirator or a sensitive human being, surely you see the cruelty of a shut-off of water to people who have no place to go. The Task Force Attorney Steve Hall inquired about the hundreds of huge debtors to the City for back water bills. Mr. Hall didn’t mention any businesses but he could have. An AJC reporter said recently that the Water Department has “forgiven” many water bills far in excess of what the City claims is owed by Peachtree Pine. The city attorney told Mr. Hall that ONLY the Task Force’s bill would be discussed. Where is Mayor Reed in all this? Could the Superior Court of Fulton County be in all this? Is United Way offering dollars per head to struggling churches for the people they will take in when the county or the court or gog or magog close Peachtree Pine?

Micah 2:1-2, if I may quote Emanuel “God with us” Fialkow’s middle name: “Woe to those who scheme iniquity, who work out evil on their beds! When morning comes, they do it, For it is in the power of their hands. They covet fields and then seize them, and houses and take them away. They rob a man and his house, A man and his inheritance.” I beg you for water.

Exhibit 16 A. J. Robinson: “Craig Jones (Cousins Properties) and I are meeting with Emory in the morning.”

Exhibit 16, Tab 16, along with 27 other exhibits was filed by Baker Donelson Attorneys Steve Hall and Bob Brazier in Judge Craig Schwall’s Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, on July 11, 2014. This lawsuit brings The Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless, Inc., versus Emanuel Fialkow’s Premium Funding Solutions, Inc., Central Atlanta Progress and its sister organization, Atlanta Downtown Improvement District.

This Exhibit 16, Tab 16, entitled “Robinson-Fialkow email 5/21/09” contains a chain of 5 emails written by William Burton, Troutman Sanders attorney; AJ Robinson, Central Atlanta Progress; Emanuel (Micah 2:1-2)Fialkow; recipients include Craig Jones, Cousins Properties, Meg Mojeski, Cousins Properties and Robert Fortson, Troutman Sanders attorney.

Eventually, I will seek his blessing on this. Attached are 2 docs that I used on a note purchase that appear to be rather seller friendly and hence are likely to give M Jacobs a little less trouble. They may save you time as well.

Also, could you provide wiring instructions to your escrow account. Presently, the money is sitting in the escrow account of Samuel L Feldman, P.C. I welcome the opportunity to remain in the background as long as possible. We are thinking about having a florida (sic) or Nevada trust be the sole member of the llc and the manager will be a separate out of state llc. I have this structure in another deal presently.
I am anxious to hear your thoughts on structure and process as you have ridden this thing for a while and I am only jumping in at the last minute.

Note: The power players exposed in this Exhibit 16 beg a jury’s scrutiny. Coming late to this lynching party is the fop, Emanuel “Micah 2:1-2” Fialkow. He warns that he is “informal.” A half dozen far more accurate words come to mind to describe Fialkow’s “business deals.” And the Nuns preferred to do the dirty with him rather than with Central Atlanta Progress. Fialkow comes to the lynching party alongside his equally genteel codefendant, AJ Robinson, who perfectly represents downtown corporate Atlanta.  It’s too bad that the Chamber of Commerce’s Sammy Williams is not present to complete the triumvirate of terror.

Note again that on a clear day from this table on the 52nd floor, the conspirators can look down on the rooftop garden of the Peachtree-Pine building.  This is the roof of the coveted real estate, like Naboth’s vineyard (I Kings 21), that these TEAM GOLIATH swindlers are in the process of stealing. This 52nd floor is part of the Troutman Sanders kingdom that brings justice to all Atlanta and throughout the Southeast. This table is in the Troutman Sanders Law Firm where things get done. These minds bring in Micah 2:1-2 to better the city. At the table with Manny “Micah 2:1-2″ Fialkow and CAP’s Boss Robinson are the Troutman Sanders lawyers. And joining these community giants are representatives from Cousins Properties, Inc. The name Cousins means solid support and real help for the least of these. And best of all, the Cousins man and CAP Boss will “meet with Emory in the morning” and bring “intelligence” from that gathering to this cabal nestled on the 52nd floor.

And we must not forget the reason for this meeting—the Nuns. When Manny (Micah 2:1-2) Fialkow buys the notes from the Nun-run Mercy Housing, Inc., Atlanta will be heavily indebted to these brides of Jesus. Horace Sibley told Goody Gerety that when Mercy Housing helps accomplish this chicanery, all Atlanta will be in Mercy’s debt. These brides of Jesus can pass the hat immediately.  And pass the hat they did.  They passed it so well that the financially troubled St. Joseph’s Hospital was purchased by none other than Emory Health Care, Inc. Tell Russ Hardin of the Woodruff Foundation that Emory has SOME money. The sign at the Hospital now reads EMORY St. Joseph’s.

Remember “Sin City” sung by The Flying Burrito Brothers:

This old earthquake’s gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town’s insane
On the 52nd floor a gold plated door
Won’t keep out the Lord’s burning rain.

“…it will just give these nuts a forum.”

Steve Hall introduced the first piece of evidence to show an example of a decade of abuse heaped upon the plaintiff by the TEAM GOLIATH conspirators. He goes back eleven years using three emails written by Georgia State University Professor of American History, Chuck Steffen, Central Atlanta Progress’s Senior Project Director, Richard Orr and Central Atlanta Progress’s President, A. J. Robinson. In October of 2003 Professor Steffen put together a panel discussion to be held the evening of November 12. His email invites Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) to participate in “a panel discussion of homelessness, poverty, public space, and the ‘Let’s Do Downtown’ Initiative.’” (Mayor Shirley Franklin’s project.)

Steffen lists for Richard Orr the invitees thus far: Colin Campbell of the AJC, Rev. Timothy McDonald of Concerned Black Clergy, Senator Vincent Fort and Anita Beaty of the Atlanta Task Force. Steffen writes, “This would be a diverse panel to say the least. But it would bring together many of the leading voices in the issue of homelessness, and it would create a real dialogue at a critical moment when we most need it.” The Professor ended his email to Orr with the cordial close, “Speaking in behalf of the History Department and the larger GSU community, I do hope that CAP will accept our invitation to participate in the panel discussion.” Richard Orr never responded to Chuck Steffen; however, he forwarded the email to A. J. Robinson and to two CAP lieutenants, Paul Kelman and David Wardell. In this Orr email he wrote only, “Oh boy, here’s a hot one below.”

The next morning A. J. Robinson wrote the following e-mail to Richard Orr: “If we were to do something like this, there need to be ground rules otherwise it will just give these nuts a forum in front of the media and we lose…. Not sure we are the ones to discuss to discuss homelessness rather Sibley or Hardin or even someone from the Mayor’s office.”

Note: Always, CAP leadership chills to the bone at the thought of an open forum. Robinson operates, as he has written, “under a cloak of darkness.” An open forum suggests honest exchange. An open forum suggests the right for all sides to have a voice. An open forum suggests everyone can be heard. An open forum suggests a desire for justice. A. J. Robinson’s “these nuts” statement was written in 2003, over a decade ago. Scholars such as Larry Keating and Charles Rutheiser have shown Central Atlanta Progress to be exclusionists. And anyone who dares to oppose their Draconian policies is put into the “these nuts” category. A. J. Robinson said it best way back in 2003, “…there need to be ground rules otherwise it will just give these nuts a forum in front of the media and we lose.” This fear of being exposed by the truth was written a decade before CAP became defendants in a court of law, accused of tortious interference, racketeering and taking by fraud. In 2003 A. J Robinson avoided facing a panel discussion. Now, in 2014 he avoids at all peril facing a jury panel. Is it any wonder that Central Atlanta Progress and their fellow conspirators for four years have escaped going to trial? It’s no wonder at all; it’s the way the club works. But through it all, through it all the words ring out, “Give these nuts a forum in front of the media we lose.” Can’t unring that bell, “WE LOSE, WE LOSE, WE LOSE.”

If A. J. Robinson is anything, he’s a protector of his lair. My essay, “Justice for CAP” shows that CAP is a champion of and for justice. This great downtown giant stands for justice, every time. That is every time that those mean old NUTS gang up against CAP.  Read my, “Central Atlanta Demands Justice–FOR Central Atlanta Progress” posted December 26, 2009.

Debi Starnes Tied In Knots: Thank you Barrister Steve Hall

I’ve never seen Steve Hall work in a courtroom in front of a jury. That’s ahead. I’ve seen him in depositions. I’ve watched him in hearings against five opposing lawyers. I’ve seen him at my side when I was deposed for five hours answering questions asked by City of Atlanta lawyers. I’ve read his questions in the depositions of Debi Starnes, two times, A. J. Robinson, Richard Orr, Horace Sibley, John Bassett, Rob “Water Mismanagement” Hunter, Dan Cathy and Bonnie “Where am I?” Ware. Words cannot describe the work of Steve Hall. First of all he’s young. I don’t know how young. But when an old hoary head like mine encounters a young lawyer, quite frankly, I anticipate a rookie whose arrogance may exceed his knowledge and his expertise. Not so with Barrister Hall.

I first saw Steve Hall volunteering at The Pine Community helping people get ID’s. etc. Hall’s firm, Baker Donelson, shepherded one resident at The Pine into home ownership. Neither Debi Starnes nor Horace Sibley nor Notip Biswax will mention Steve Merritt. That former resident came by recently to introduce his new wife as they enjoy their new home whose closing Baker Donalson attorneys handled. Steve Merritt completed the two-year transitional program. He is one of the Atlanta citizens at The Pine who Horace Sibley labels, “chronically homeless.” Attorney Steve Hall and others as volunteer attorneys from Baker Donelson helped many residents like Steve Merritt at The Pine.

Steve Hall saves his best for later. No one knows when “later” will come. It may be in Federal Court against the City of Atlanta’s TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE against Black men in The Pine. “Later” may pit him against a half dozen conspirators who have fraudulently “stolen” property from the Task Force through collusion and dirty tricks. “Later” may come when Shirley Franklin faces Steve Hall in a scheduled deposition. “Later” may come when Protip Biswas of Noway United Way faces Steve Hall.

I would not dare, in this blog, give you Steve Hall at his best. I have read a thousand plus pages of depositions where he questioned the unhinged A. J. Robinson, the cocky, Richard Orr, the explosive Horace Sibley and the rehearsed Bonnie Ware. I am limited with the English language. If I were not limited I would not attempt to describe Debi Starnes before Barrister Hall. He was delicate in her first deposition. He only tied her in knots. Before a jury of her peers, he very well may place the noose firmly around her vulnerable neck. The following are the words of Hall and Starnes taken from her first deposition taken on September 2, 2009. Starnes was deposed a second time, yet she still runs free. She’s out there dragging women around the floor on which they sleep at The Gateway. Please read my March 9, 2011, blog entitled “Debi Starnes, Horace Sibley and Protip Biswas, All On Bicycles.”

The following are questions by Steve Hall and answers UNDER OATH by Debi Starnes. The only other words quoted are those of City of Atlanta Attorney Laura Sauriol attempting to rescue Debi Starnes:

Hall: My question is this. You have indicated – – and I’ll define it a little bit – – you have indicated, as we’ve been sitting here today, that these private groups go – – like your citizens in your neighborhood – – go out and do things on their own and it’s not you that’s organizing them.

Starnes: Correct.

Hall: My question to you is: Have you ever directed a group of people to go to potential donors, people you believe might donate to the Task Force, and encourage them not to give money?
Starnes: I do not recall.

Hall: Okay. So from my next question from that is: You are not saying that it didn’t happen; you’re just saying, as you sit here today, you don’t recall.

Starnes: I don’t remember it ever happening, no.

Hall: But it’s not outside the realm of possibility things that might have occurred, in your mind?
Starnes: If I – – it’s back to the whole big picture, and I feel like I’ve explained this to you like five times. So if people are upset and want to try to figure out how they can improve this neighbor that’s causing all this trouble and they ask me for advice, I might give them suggestions. I don’t recall doing that. But mostly, it’s people – – are constantly contacting the city and just demanding that we respond to the – – what they’re suffering around there, and we try to help. We try to assist.

Hall: Exhibit 22. Do you recognize that as an e-mail chain with you at the top of it?

Starnes: Yes.

Hall: Okay. Alll right. Bob Cramer.

Starnes: Uh-huh.

Hall: You understand that he is a member of the board of Peachtree-Pine?

Starnes: Yes.

Hall: Now, I’ve said this a couple of times. I use the term Peachtree-Pine. You understand that we are referring to the facility at the intersection of Peachtree-Pine that’s owned by the Task Force?

Starnes: Yes.

Hall: Now, here is an e-mail from a Steve Gower. Do you know who he is?
Starnes: Perhaps only through e-mail. I don’t know if we’ve met in person.

Hall: Do you know – – are you aware of – – you can pass on that. Do you see the byline down at the bottom on the e-mail: Cousins Properties may be considering sponsoring of Peachtree-Pine?

Starnes: Yes.

Hall: Reading that, you may know what he’s talking about there, is, they may be funding Peachtree-

Pine; they may donate.

Starnes: Right. I mean, that’s what it says. I don’t know that.

Hall: Okay. But that’s what you would take it to mean?

Starnes: Yes.

Hall: All right. And there’s an e-mail from Peggy Denby to you, dated September 16th 2008. Do you see that?

Starnes: Yes.

Hall: “Debi, should we jump into the middle of this, or can you talk with L:isa Borders?

Starnes: Yes.

Hall: Who is Lisa Borders?

Starnes: President of City Council.

Hall: Do you see above there your response on Tuesday, September 26, 2008, 9:20 a.m.?

Starnes: Yes.

Hall: So it looks to me like her e-mail may have come in the morning at 6:50 a.m. and you had a response to her by 9:20.

Starnes: Yes.

Hall: All right. “I doubt that Cousins will help.” You mean, will help them any – – will give them any money.

Starnes: Yes.

Hall: But it wouldn’t hurt to contact them.”

Starnes: Yes.

Hall: “Tom Bell would be the person.” – – who is Tom Bell?

Starnes: I don’t know his title, but the head of Cousins Properties.

Hall: “Lisa doesn’t work there anymore.:

Starnes: Right.

Hall: Who is the “Lisa”?

Starnes: Lisa Borders.

Hall: Okay. So you are telling – – you that Peggy Denby’s orientation is, we don’t want Peachtree-Pine getting funding by anybody.

Starnes: I know Peggy’s orientation, as a Midtown neighbor, is that the impact of poorly-run Peachtree-Pine drives them crazy. So Peggy calls us, writes us, speaks out a lot, so this was another e-mail from Peggy to me.

Hall: Ms. Starnes, you know – I don’t want to mince words – – you know that Peggy Denby does not want to get Peachtree-Pine funded by anybody.

Starnes: I do not know that.

Hall: Okay. Your testimony under oath is that when you read this, you didn’t realize that when she said, Debi, should we jump in the middle of this, or Can you talk with Lisa Borders, that she was saying, What can we do to stop Cousins from doing anything and giving any money.

Starnes: She was probably upset with Tom Cousins or wants Cousins to know what they have to suffer from the impact of Peachtree-Pine. That’s what they talked to us about all the time.

Hall: And your response was”but it wouldn’t hurt to contact them.”

Starnes: That’s correct.

Hall: What did you mean?
Starnes: This if they want to talk to Tom Bell or Cousins – – if they want to try to find out about this, they should contact Cousins – –

Hall: Okay.

Starnes: Not me.

Hall: What’s the byline on the subject line that you wrote back? “Cousins Properties may be considering sponsorship of P. Pine. Do you see that?

Starnes: Yes.
. . .
Hall: Ms. Starnes: are you testifying to the jury under oath that you don’t know that you don’t know that Peggy Denby wants this facility closed down?

Starnes: I do not know that.

Hall: Okay. That’s your testimony under oath.

Starnes: That’s correct.

Hall: You’ve never read anything from Ms. Denby saying, we need this facility closed down. It’s a menace. It’s crime. It’s loitering. It’s drug dealing – –

Starnes: Yes, I have seen that – – I’ve seen their complaints about the crime, the loitering, the drug dealing, the prostitution, the violence. Yes, I’ve seen all that.

Hall: So your testimony to the jury is, despite having seen all that, you have no reason to believe Ms. Denby wants the facility closed down.

Starnes: I want – – I believe Ms. Denby wants all that stuff to stop so that if somebody would run a decent shelter, the crime, the violence, the drug dealing, the prostitution would stop.

Hall: Okay.

Starnes: That if someone really managed the facility, that nonsense wouldn’t have to go on. That’s what I believe Ms. Denby constantly writes about.

Hall: Is it your position that drug dealing, crime, and prostitution goes on within Peachtree-Pine?

Starnes: That’s my opinion. That’s what I hear from residents. That’s what I hear from police.

Hall: Is it?

Starnes: That’s what I hear from various people.

Hall: Have you had a confident – – have you had the Atlanta police find out through confidential informants what goes on within the facility?

Starnes: Have asked them to do what?

Hall: Your testimony now is that Atlanta police have reported to you that prostitution, drug dealing, and other crimes are going on within the facility.

Starnes: No.

Hall: That’s what I thought I heard you – –

Starnes: No.

Hall: Did I mishear you?

Starnes: It is my opinion that that’s what goes on on the inside.

Hall: What is that opinion based on?

Starnes: It is based on various reports I hear from the facility.

Hall: Okay. Now, before, you said the police. Was that an error? Was that a slip of the tongue?

Starnes: We’re talking about outside and inside.

Hall: No. My question was very directly inside. Are you saying that it was a slip of the tongue that you used the word “police” when you used it a moment ago?

Starnes: I believe the police believe that.

Hall: Okay. Let’s stop for a moment. Can we go back – – you can do this on the record. Let’s go back, and if you could read to me her answer where she referred – – my question and her answer on that.
(The record was read by the reporter.)
Hall: Okay. Now, are you saying that the court reporter got that wrong?

Starnes: No. But I thought you were talking about inside and outside.

Note: Having read thousands of pages of depositions, Starnes 2 times, A. J. Robinson, Richard Orr, Rob Hunter, Bonnie Ware and others, I have noted that the words, “I don’t recall” often send up a red flag that says, “I just lied.” Debi Starnes’ not remembering that she tried to stop funding presents a desperate difficulty for TEAM GOLIATH. Tortious Interference and racketeering surround Starnes and her fellow conspirators. The HUD investigation of the City’s spending and blocking funds for seven protected classes of people looms. The ongoing HUD investigation of the City of Atlanta’s spending of HUD $$$ is completely separate from the lawsuit against the City. It is not over until the fat lady sings. And there are several hefties, in good voice, tuning up in the wings.

Tis The Season To Make Clear The Crimes Committed by Atlanta’s Principalities and Powers

By order of Superior Court of Fulton County Judge Craig L. Schwall, Sr., Plaintiff Ichthus Community Trust and the Benevolent Community Investiment Company, Inc., its trustee, agents and attorneys shall appear for a hearing at 2:30pm, December 9 in Courtroom 5E. The public may attend this hearing.

The Order signed by Judge Schwall on December 2, 2010, reads as follows:

“The above referenced consolidated matters have come to the Court on Metro Atlanta Task Force For The Homeless, Inc.’s (the “Task Force”) Emergency Motion to Enforce Order and for Contempt, in which the Task Force seeks to have an expedited hearing on its contention that Ichthus and those have violated the Court’s Order of June 17, 2010, by initiation of a dispossessory action in the Magistrate Court of Fulton County (the “”Dispossessory Action”), seeking to remove the Task Force and Anita Beaty from the Shelter at 477 Peachtree Street. Based on the Court’s understanding that the Magistrate Court Action has been served, that a response will be due within seven (7) days of service, that the Court will hold an emergency hearing on December 9, 2010, which is after the date that response would be due in the Dispossessory Action, and for other good cause:

It is HEREBY ORDERED, that Plaintiff Ichthus Community Trust and the Benevolent Community Investment Company, Inc., its trustee, agents and attorneys, shall take those steps necessary to extend the time for the Task Force, Anita Beaty and any other person or entity from which it seeks to obtain relief to answer or otherwise respond to the Dispossessory Action until ten (10) days after the hearing on the Task Force’s Emergency Motion, through and including at least 19, 2010. All parties and their representatives are further directed to appear before the Court for the hearing on the Task Force’s Emergency Motion on Thursday, December 9, 2010 at 2:30 in courtroom 5E.”

In a layman’s terms, Manny Fialkow’s newly hired attorney, Scott Bonder, has attempted to circumvent the Court’s Order of June 17, 2010. That Order essentially held, is my understanding, that the Task Force and the occupants would and could remain in the building until the ownership is determined in a Court of Law.
Baker, Donelson Attorneys, Steve Hall and Robert Brazier, representing the Task Force countered Bonder’s move by requesting the December 9 hearing. Bonder’s zeal has triggered a Pied Piper effect. He’s now ordered to come before the Judge with a solid lineup following him.

Imagine Steve Riddell ‘s expression when he learned that his fellow TEAM GOLIATH conspirator had caused the tight end to be dragged before the Judge. Reading that Order probably brought to Riddell’s mind the day the Clemson Tigers chased him all over the field as a tight end for the South Carolina Gamecocks. Riddell defends the innocent until proven guilty at Central Atlanta Progress.
Other barristers include:
Lynn M. Roberson, Esq. of Swift Currie McGhee & Hiers LLP; Ms. Roberson represents ADID, The Atlanta Downtown Improvement District. Scott Bonder, Esq. of the Fried & Bonder law firm represents Ichthus Community Trust . Matthew G. Moffet, Esq. works for Gray, Rust, St. Amand, Moffett & Brieske, LLP; Moffett and friends represent Defendant Manny Fialkow. Robert J. Kaufman, Esq. and friends represent The Benevolent Community Community Investment Company, Inc.

What a lineup for the Philistines, TEAM GOLIATH. You can glory in what’s in a name. Ponder them: Rust, Brieske, Fried. These appellations rival Dickens. Imagine having Fried as your defense attorney! Do you remember Dickens’ Barrister Fogg? Having Fried as your lawyer would be like buying your tires from Iffy Tire Co. in Macon or worshipping at the Jiffy Grill Baptist Church in Lancaster, South Carolina.

Who would have thought that we’re off to witness Little Team David, represented by one law firm, Baker Donelson, take on such corporate monoliths. Steve Hall and Robert Brazier ably represent the Task Force. These two attorneys are alone; nonetheless, they hold five smooth stones.

Note: Watch for a nagging snarl ahead for TEAM GOLIATH, specifically Mercy Housing, Inc. and Mercy Loan Fund, Inc. that could give pause to a jury. Steve Riddell, the former Gamecock tight end, is a Troutman Sanders lawyer, representing Central Atlanta Progress. Back in early 2009 when the nuns and Judith Gould and Diane Leavesley and Pete Walker and Andy Slettebac were having hot discussions with A. J. Robinson, the following emails were written. Robinson, to extend the metaphor, is the quarterback of team conspiracy.

An A. J. Robinson email written on February 20, 2009, to Diane Leavesley (Mercy Housing) and Andy Slettebac (ICE) says, “Here’s our suggested way to proceed with a transaction. Please let me know your thoughts.” The transaction he writes of is the foreclosure on the 477 Peachtree Street property. The Subject line of Robinson’s email reads “Peachtree Pine.”

Mark the shrewd questions of Diane Leavesley’s response; note the caution. Leavesley wrote the following on March 2, 2009. “AJ – While we appreciate your efforts to have a lawyer draw up this agreement; we also had discussed additional information that we had expected to receive from you. We would still ask you to tell us who 477 Peachtree LLC is – so that we know this limited liability company has the capacity to purchase the note. Also, we wanted you to offer a price. We would prefer not begin to negotiating the document until we have a “term sheet”. Would you proceed on these things?”

A. J. Robinson responded within the hour to Diane Leavesley, Monday, March 2, 2009. He copied Andy Slettebac , Director, Institute of Community Economics and Sandy Maben. I quote A. J. Robinson:

“Thanks for your email. . . . first a little explanation. I run a non profit business organization that represents the business community of Atlanta and on this issue I speak for the neighborhood around the shelter and the City of Atlanta. Our first preference would be for the Loan Fund to foreclose on the property and the community is willing to work with you afterwards either to buy you out or produce a developer on the property which would make good use of your investment.

Our second choice would be to buy your notes. 477 was formed specifically as a special entity to do just that. Right now it will have multiple investors from the community but until we know what we are buying, there is no reason to fund 477. That is why we took the approach that we did, no one will buy the notes till we have had a chance to look at the specific rights under the notes, etc. I am happy to introduce to you by phone or in person to the two or three major funders we’ve lined up.

As for price, you can assume we will be buying at your loan balance unless we discover something in the documents that would affect that value. Of course if you want to sell at a lower price, that’s ok with us.

As a side note, the 10million price tag that has been placed on the property is about 7 to 7 and half higher than what it’s probably worth in today’s market. Let me know if you have further questions.”

I mentioned above Attorney Steve Riddell of the prestigious Troutman Sanders Law Firm. Depositions and emails have long ago revealed that 477 Peachtree asked about by the cautious Diane Leavesley is none other than Troutman Sanders who were then and now representing Central Atlanta Progress. The plot thickens and the corruption multiplies with each tick of the clock.

Incidentally: Andy Slettebac is ICE’s answer to CAP’s Dave “Great news!” Wardell. Both are screamers! Notes seized by subpoena from Mercy and ICE show that Slettebac exclaims whenever he scores. He exclaims, “Love it!” Let’s call him Andy “Love it” Slettebac.

Discovery Places Mercy Housing Inc. Deep In the Conspiracy with CAP Etc.

The following blog consists of excerpts from documents given the Atlanta Task Force Board of Directors by Baker Donelson Attorney Steve Hall. This Civil Action has been filed within the last fortnight with Judge Craig L. Schwall, Sr., Judge, Superior Court of Fulton County.

METRO ATLANTA TASK FORCE FOR THE HOMELESS, INC. and ANITA BEATY, Plaintiffs
v.
EMANUEL FIALKOW; THE BENEVOLENT COMMUNITY INVESTMENT COMPANY, INC.; CENTRAL ATLANTA PROGRESS, and THE ATLANTA DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, Defendants

Written Discovery:
“Plaintiffs have multiple depositions and thousands of documents that they have offered to make available Defendants (and Ichthus) at a mutual convenient time and location. CAP, ADID and BCIC have not served any discovery. In addition, while Plaintiffs anticipate discovery disputes (Ichthus has refused to provide electronic discovery), Plaintiffs plan on addressing these issues with the Special Master.
“Unfortunately, for reasons it has not disclosed, Ichthus has refused to consent to these depositions being taken jointly in all cases. This places a significant burden on the witnesses and parties.

Motion to Pursue Dispossessory
“At the initial hearing the parties hearing the parties pursued cross-motions for TRO, with Ichthus seeking to evict the Task Force and Anita Beaty from the Shelter (among other things) and the Task Force seeking to prohibit any actions to interfere with their use of the Shelter (among other things). At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court entered an order allowing the Task Force to remain in the Shelter, consolidating the dispossessory actions that were filed by Ichthus separately in the State Court Action, and forming a committee to review the conditions at the Shelter. Plaintiffs believe that the situation even more strongly favors maintenance of the status quo today than it did at the initial hearing. Specifically, Plaintiffs note: (1) the weather is getting much colder and the services they provide to the homeless are even more needed this time of the year; (2) the Committee Report has dispelled Ichthus’ false assertions about the conditions at the Shelter; and (3) Plaintiff’s discovery has uncovered significant additional evidence demonstrating the conspiracy to harm the Task Force and specifically showing that the improper actions of Defendants caused Plaintiff’s lenders to sell the Notes at issue. Attached hereto as Exhibit “A” are a few examples of this evidence, including an email from an influential representative of Task Force’s lenders showing that they were convinced to foreclose or sell the Task Force’s Notes by communications from the City and Defendants falsely stating that the Task Force was not helping the men in the Shelter, an email showing Fialkow congratulating Central Atlanta Progress on the very type of anti-homeless discrimination efforts that are at the heart of this case and notes from communications with A. J. Robinson referring to his plan to use business interests (such as Ichthus) to carry out the plan to acquire the Notes. Accordingly, Plaintiffs believe this Motion should be summarily denied or stayed.

The following notes and e-mails are quoted from Exhibit “A”:

Julie,
I got your voice mail. Thanks. I wanted to talk to you about the possibility of foreclosure on the Peachtree and Pine property in Atlanta. I’ve talked with Pete and with others representing the city and believe that foreclosing is what we should do. It needs to be part of a plan to move the men living in the shelter to other facilities where there are supportive services and a proposal from Mercy Housing for affordable housing on the site. There may be some negative publicity, but I think that can be mitigated by the plan and the proposal. Moving the men is very doable and represents a philosophy that I think is much more enlightened than warehousing them in the present facility. In addition, If Mercy Housing can help to accomplish this, I believe e will be in the debt of the city, the business community and the foundations. Horace Sibley, who chairs the mayor’s commission to end homelessness, told me that if we can get this accomplished, we should pass the hat immediately.

Note: The typed portion of this e-mail ends here. The following “paragraph” contains handwritten notes that read as follows”

“Anita’s vision meets people. Horace wants to get people out of homelessness. 1 by 1 her funding sources have dried up. A proposal to rehab the bldg to maintain the shelter w/sro hsg above. Foreclosure – sensitively & delicately. Horace has a plan to move the men.

Thank you Sr. Jane for sharing these important views! I’m copying Diane Leavesley, the president of the Mercy Loan Fund who is one of the participants on the loan with another nonprofit (we do not own a controlling interest ). I’d suggest we get on the phone if she is able to this morning Denver time. I’ll be here until 12 noon ET. In case we miss Diane’s direct number is 303 – 830 – 3469. I know that she and her partner are working through all the options and are very sensitive to the homeless and the community in doing so. All the best, Julie.

Note: The most devastating lie that TEAM GOLIATH could tell is that The Pine does nothing but “warehouse” the people who stay there. That TEAM has broadcast that lie for ten tears across Atlanta. In 2008 that falsehood was told to nuns et al who bought it hook, line and sinker.

B Wardlaw’s Closing Words of His COCA-COLA ANARCHIST

On Atlanta’s battle of the powerful against the weak, truth speaks to power. In an earlier blog I commented on the opening sentences of COCA-COLA ANARCHIST. The following is quoted verbatim from the last two pages, 436 and 437. I have not read a more accurate summary of TEAM GOLIATH’s conspirata who live to crush Little David. The next four paragraphs just before my “NOTE” are Mr. Wardlaw’s words.

“In 2009, the Battle of Atlanta entered a new phase. After fourteen years of harassment, the Task Force via enormous pro bono efforts by the law firm, Baker Donelson, brought ‘tortious interference’ and civil rights law suits against the City of Atlanta. Through discovery and deposition, our extraordinary lawyers, led by Steve Hall and Bob Brazier, began gathering conclusive evidence of what we have known all along: Task Force funders and partners, actual and potential, have been visited, threatened, and intimidated from offering what would have been life-saving support, and city officials have conspired with leading Atlanta business ‘leaders’ (many of them clustered within a local group with the misnomer ‘Central Atlanta Progress’ to destroy us, so we have also filed suit against Central Atlanta Progress as well as some of the individuals most culpable.

“‘Superfluous’ — that’s what Shakespeare calls those who will not ‘see’ because they do not ‘feel.’ We, all of us, are called to be open to the possibility that former Atlanta mayor Bill Campbell, current mayor Shirley Franklin, and those ‘leaders’ who pull their strings think they are doing what is best for our city, based on what they ‘see.’ But, oh, if they were able, with King Lear, to “feel what wretches feel,” how in the world could they cause such pain, trying to remove homeless people from our streets at whatever cost? If their acts do not rise to level of ‘deliberate cruelty’ — that which Tennessee Williams, through his character Blanche Dubois, identified as the one unforgiveable act — their programs amount at least to tragic ignorance, an ignorance that is our challenge to help cure.

“In his ‘To be or not to be’ soliloquy, Hamlet laments ‘the insolence of office,’ the offense that promises to bring Atlanta to its Days of Reckoning. Beginning in 1996 when they, as I have said, ‘marked the Task Force for extinction,’ Atlanta leaders apparently thought they could, with impunity, use any means they wished — including tampering with Federal funds — in order to crush the community at Peachtree and Pine. After fourteen years of increasingly frantic, virtually psychotic efforts, they have not only failed, but put themselves on the wrong side of The Law which many of them had grown up — as I had — believing they were above. Having failed to study and understand anarchist strengths and values concerning why, when, and how laws need to be broken, Atlanta’s Powers-That-Be are about to take a fall.”

The above is quoted from B Wardlaw’s COCA-COLA ANARCHIST, pp.436-437

Channel 5 Steve Hall/Anita Beaty TONIGHT

Baker Donelson Attorney Steve Hall and Executive Director of the Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless Anita Beaty will be on the ten o’clock news, TV 5 tonight.  They will be talking about the current lawsuit against the City of Atlanta as well as the foreclosure on the Peachtree-Pine Shelter.  Interest and national concern mounts daily around these two subjects.  The City of Atlanta has never before seen a lawsuit of this strength leveled against the status quo GIANTS: The City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress and (ADID), Atlanta Downtown Improvement District. 

The Peachtree-Pine Shelter is HOME for 700 African American.  The “principalities and power” along with the NIMBY, (not  in my backyard racists) are up in arms over the presence of 700 citizens who look very different from them.  These not-look-alikes have lived at PP for years and Rufus Terril and Peggy Denby along with other sterling citizens have had it. 

The locally written news has not yet touched this story except to damn The Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless at every opportunity.

I predict that the momentum building around this lawsuit and the possibly illegal foreclosure of May 5 will force the local rags to mention it, though anything printed will appear most likely with the obituaries.  Be sure to read this blog the next few days as GOD’S BURNING RAIN draws near.

Good night Chet!  Good night United Way!  Goodnight Dave “Great news” Wardell.  I hear Milton “$500,000) Little will be bedding down with 700 Black men over on Edgewood.  Good night Richard “We’re in” Orr.  Good night Horace “Sinon” Sibley.  Good night Paul “toxic waste dump” Kellman.  Good night A. J. “We’re all kind of mystified” Robinson.  Good night Debi “huge on ethics” Starnes.  Good night Greg “bogus letters” Pridgeon.  Good Night Tri-J “HUD’s looking at you” Continuum of Care.  Good night Rhonda “the whole truth” Cook.  Good night Notip “disgusting place” Bizwax. Good night Jim Bob.  Good night The “don’t turn nobody away shelter”) Gateway.  Good night, TEAM GOLIATH.  Good night Little David. And to everyone else, a very Good Night.

TASK FORCE WINS TODAY’S HEARING TO COMPEL!

The weather was cloudy and bleak. Zeus had spoken earlier with flashing lightning and rolling thunder. He’s not happy. However poor little David walked away from court smiling with five smooth stones still at his side. The sun was shining everywhere. In the Superior Court of Fulton County, at 10:30 AM, Judge Ural Glanville denied a motion filed by Atlanta attornys to dismiss the case, The Alanta Task Force for the Homeless v. The City of Atlanta (Mayor’s office). A motion had been filed for this hearing to COMPEL Central Atlanta Progress to produce Documents and to produce A.J. Robinson, President and Richard Orr, Senior Projects Manager, for deposition.

The Judge having said that he found the information in the argument on the motion to COMPEL “relevant” ordered the attorneys, Steve Hall for the Task Force and Steve Riddell for CAP to meet. This meetiing lasted about fifteen minutes. Riddell did not want the Judge to give the order. This means that CAP lawyers will produce all previously subpoenaed documents and all previously subpoenaed persons to be deposed. Those persons so far who have been subpoenaed are Robinson and Orr.
