08/03/04 - Dave?
What condition is Dave in and who has him?
Are the horrors associated with this type situation being compounded?
When the whole community is being so severely impacted by greed-driven forced prostitution, both of individuals and of the community, itself, are there still
people being tempted to further exploit this situation?
Where does this sickness end?

re:
illegal detainment in U.S., possibly to hamper
anti-slavery efforts > 08/17/04 - I'm home
[modified]
I'm home now
- exhausted! I couldn't have lasted another day
without really blowing up.
The
hospital, the doctors, anyway, at the hearing
yesterday were now saying that they really weren't
sure if I was really "gravely disabled,"
the diagnosis they gave me at the hearing last
Thursday. The doctor also said yesterday that
"perhaps" my refusing to be
"medicated," i.e., drugged, could
"also" be possibly viewed as a matter of
"personal preference."
At the
hearing yesterday, the police officer, Waterford
Officer M. Willard, and "complainant,"
Ebon H. Vanborrhies, both of whom had reportedly
said that I'd been found walking through the complainant's
backyard with a flashlight looking for people who
had been abducted admitted that that was not true.
That had been recorded in the police incident
report, Waterford Police Department Incident
#2004-02371, - no, I wasn't arrested. It was also
given as the "circumstances under which
person to be examined was taken into custody"
on the Police Emergency Examination Request ,
supposedly, that I'd been brought to the hospital
for evaluation. (This request was completed by
Waterford Police Officer W.C. Naholnick #35, who
was not present at the hearing.) It was the thing
that, supposedly, led the hospital to - in
actuality, illegally - detain me from just about 1
pm 8/9/04 - the second anniversary of Dave's
abduction, almost to the minute - until about 6 pm
tonight. (Reference "History of Present
Condition" in Physician's Emergency
Certificate for No More than 15 Days Care and
Treatment In A Hospital for Psychiatric
Disabilities form completed by "examining
physician" "Witt, M.D."
(In a
meeting just prior to my release, Dr. Catalin
Pralea, M.D., explained that the
"evaluation" he had conducted of me had
been through his review of the medical records
there at this facility. What this means is that
not only he was using the incorrect information
contained in that, but that I was not providing me
with any opportunity for comments, explanations,
etc., despite the considerable adverse impact
action he would take, as a result of such shoddy,
unprofessional and, possibly, unethical,
practices, may have on widespread aspects of my
welfare, including my emotional and psychological
well being. Dr. Pralea, Douglas Brandt, M.D., and
Ada Jemison, M.D. are the three doctors who signed
the following 08/10/04 statement submitted to
Probate Judge Matthew H. Greene:
Marianne
Labrecque is incapable of giving her consent to
recommended medications. Without these
medications, Ms. Labrecques [as typed]
psychiatric disability will progress. She is at
risk of harm because she is debilitated to the
degree that she is unable to meet her basic
needs. There is no less intrusive treatment
available.
None of
these three doctors evaluated me in person. The
only evaluation that was done in which I was a
part was the one done by the Crisis Counselor in
Lawrence and Memorial Hospitals' Emergency Room
just after being brought there early morning
08/09/04. At the time, I was told that that
resulted in a "favorable diagnosis" and,
at the time, I was led to believe that I was going
to be free to return home just after that.)
At the
hearing yesterday, it finally became the judge's
(Matthew H. Greene) call - per him - that I was to
be considered incompetent, or whatever label they
were using, and the reason he was saying it was
justified that I'd been detained, was because I'd
knocked on the door of the neighbor's house across
the street from me at that time of night, even
though the person/people had supposedly just
arrived home - the long story of my rationale I
won't get into right now.
In the
meeting before I left, I believe it was the one
that included Dr. Catalin Pralea, there was a
comment that the court, also, was now backing off
from what it had said. There seemed to be an
attempt at negotiation with me through the
"conservator" who, I was told, works for
the court. A long story but, eventually, she did
not approve the forced drugging of me which was
given by her, by the court, and by the hospital
social worker as the reason she'd been appointed
in the first place. (Quick & dirty analysis,
therefore subject to revision upon more careful
reflection, is that she really wants to do the
right thing but is also displaying signs of being,
or thinking that she is, "under
pressure.") She wanted to know if, if the
hospital did not charge me all the $charges that
had accumulated - probably about $20K - it was at
about $8K, I think, on the printout I got about
last Thursday - if that would satisfy me. I told
her that there was also that I had to have all of
this reversed so that it could not be said that I
now had a "history of mental illness,"
etc., if only because it may jeopardize future
endeavors of mine. I also pointed to the time lost
in my work, which was at a particularly critical
point just now, etc.. And, yes, there was probably
more but I'm too tired of it all, for the time
being, to even try to remember what else.
Yes,
hospital personnel continued in their usual
protocol, possibly because they have not yet had
time to have it thoroughly reviewed by Risk
Management. My release is classified as
"AMA" which is "against medical
advise," and personnel was trying to go the
route of recording that they have prescribed that
I be taking 2 mg of Risperdal M tabs each day at 9
pm, but also said that they knew I wouldn't. It
was just the charge whatever there at the time of
my release who was doing that because, it seems
and most probably was that, she wasn't really sure
what she was supposed to do. They were also going
to set me up for follow-up counseling. I told her
that she should alert "them" that they
may not want to continue to forward what should be
my confidential information to what later may be
found to be "disinterested" parties,
pending the later outcome of all of this.
They are
also trying to put some of the blame on my primary
physician. I'm not sure what that is all about
and, again, right now I'm too exhausted to think
about it.
Yes, there
are much more significant implications of all of
this, of which they seem to have been finally also
aware by the time of my release, but, right now,
I'm too exhausted to determine if I should relay
all of that, so I won't. There's a lot more to
probably all I've just said.
Right now,
I'm just trying to get word out that I'm home.

08/22/04 - Status report as of 08/22/04 [modified] & addition
Response
sent in reply to email I received:
Hi
Marianne, good to hear that you are home. How
has everything been? Any update/contact on
David?
Well, that
relayed in Re: illegal detainment in U.S.,
possibly to hamper anti-slavery efforts >
08/17/04 - I'm home [modified] is going to take
some major effort to get straightened out, which
was probably also one of the many, many reasons it
was carried out, if suspicions are accurate. Yes,
it's a very small town community and it is now
appearing that the spg has friends in the local
office of the CT Probate Court, as well - very
complying "friends." (I wonder what they
get in return for such cooperation.)
Even though
CT Statutes require that I receive copies of all
of the paperwork that the CT Probate Court has
supposedly issued against me, including the
appointment of an attorney and, also, a temporary
conservator to handle my "estate," make
decisions for me regarding such things as
"medication" and treatment I am to
receive, etc., and also the final determinations
that were made through the hearing, I have
"officially" received nothing. ( I did,
merely by accident, receive some copies by
demanding copies of some of the paperwork in my
medical records.)
It was
evident through my call to the Probate Court the
other day that they are on the
"look-out" for me, are very familiar
with my name, and have specific instructions on
how to deal with me. My call was to request
transcripts of the two sessions of the hearing,
something I should have before beginning to take
action against some of the bills that I am already
receiving ($425 bill received for the ambulance.)
They are telling me that the person who had been
coordinating all of this will now be out of the
office for "a few" weeks. The call was
turned over to someone who told me I have to
contact my "conservator" to receive
anything like that. Yet I have still not even seen
anything official that proves that a conservator
was even appointed and/or that it was determined
that the court ordered a conservator appointed!
Shortly
after my call to the court, the
"conservator" called me and
"chastised" me for my contact with that
office, my behavior, etc.. This is a total
stranger who has not only, supposedly, been given
such control of my affairs, and to whom,
evidently, I am expected to be humbly submissive,
she has also been given access to what should be
my private and confidential records.
As for Dave,
I have not received any word since finally being
released from my illegal detainment last Tuesday
evening. There HAD been increased activity
relating to the local trafficking operations, and
possibly even Dave, in the week or so prior to my
detainment. I was even hoping that he'd, somehow,
escaped. That may also account for why what was
done to me was done to me - yes, I facilitated it
by going out that night, and going across the
street to knock on my neighbor's door, but I'd
been receiving anonymous emails all the week or so
before that appear to have been warnings that
SOMETHING was planned for me and/or for Dave,
should he try to reach me. I am watched so
closely, it will be very difficult for him to
safely do so, even if he is now, freed.
But I may
have now received messages that additional victims
have been taken, who are friends of ours, i.e.,
Dave's and mine. I may also have received messages
that . . . . There definitely appears that efforts
to hamper victim rescue, as well as helping to
prevent investigation and apprehension of
perpetrators, if only through what was recently
done of me, have been beefed up recently.
All of this
makes it, again and again, so much more urgent
that action be taken against this, . . . .. And,
most likely, many are also possibly being
additionally tortured and abused in retaliation
for what perpetrators may be guessing of my
possible recent actions and/or that of the local
Coalition and other possible groups and entities,
etc. Having such possible messages
"leak" out are also intended to further
threaten, intimidate and warn those who may be
trying to help victims.
But I don't
yet know what I may be able to do, just yet. I
feel that I am still suffering the residual
effects of the trauma of experiences of my illegal
detainment and it's aftermath, which is probably
still unfolding.
Thank you
for asking. Marianne
. . . ..
From what
I've read, [various areas are] considered by the
U.S. government . . . hot spots for U.S.
modern-day slavery, which means that probably
[these areas, in particular, have] a very well
developed and sophisticated network supporting
this crime.
. . . .
There is also a chance that some local victims
have been auctioned, or otherwise
"sold," to other trafficking rings,
which will also hamper tracking these victims'
whereabouts and welfare.
addition to
08/22/04 - Status report as of 08/22/04 & ____
:
There are
also additional indications that these sleaze may
be (continuing to) possibly threaten/carry out
forced prostitution/other sexual
exploitation/other harm to a person's, even very
young, children in order to coerce someone, gain
his or her submissiveness and lure them into the
control of these criminals. Yes, most likely,
there isn't anything too low for these sociopaths,
this scum among us, to attempt to carry out.

08/26/04 - jellyfish (eeeuuwweeh!!!) in my GARDEN!!!!!
No, this
isn't fun. Not in the least.
Yes, I've
come to know some really wonderful people - I
think! I mean, if they are so wonderful, why is it
that they seem to not be able to speak about
certain things? And why is it that so many of
these "wonderful people" appear to still
be going along with - "charitably
speaking" - shady business?
Perhaps I'm
only being human. Perhaps I'm just reacting in a
normal way to something I've been experiencing for
over two years that is just "abnormal"?!
ABNORMAL?????? F___NG BIZARRE!!!!!!
Can any of
you relate to this at all? Can you understand what
it is like to have things going on that are so
unbelievable that your mind tends to want you to
think that it is really only a dream, because
things like this don't really happen in real life?
Especially when these things are going on now and
here even though you are in the same place you've
been for so, so many years? When many of the
people who may somehow be involved in this are
people you've known for so, so, so many years -
FRIENDS! - from even before I moved to this area
so, so long ago?
Do you know
what this is like? Can you relate to any of this?
Can you understand what this may possibly do to a
person's mind? (But, then, isn't that most
probably part of the reason these things are being
done, or, at least, being done in a way that, if
you try to talk about what is going on, those
hearing it may need to say that you are crazy,
that that proves that you are so - click! - don't
pay any attention?)
And, in the
meantime, flip with her some more [yes, a copy and
paste (c&p) from an earlier communication]:
...
when I was being detained in Pond House, [I was]
told ... that there would be no charges ...
relating to that [particular service]. However,
today I received a statement [relating to that
particular service] for ... a total of $253 in
charges.
[This]
is in addition to a letter I also received today
from L&M referring to a bill I've never even
received for $10,894 for services of 8/9/04
[they claim they sent it to me on 8/23/04.]
In the
meantime, the Probate Court is refusing to give
me access to the transcripts of the two sessions
of my hearing relating to that detainment. They
are claiming that I need to go through my
"conservator" even though I have never
received any formal communication from that
court that it found reason to order a
conservator appointed for me or that a
conservator had been appointed. Such
communication is required by CT State Statutes.
And yet the
sky still looks the same, etc.?
And, yes,
now I'm even starting to wonder where Dave's head
really is. Yes, in between wondering what horror
he's being subjected to right now, and yes, yes,
very much hurting
Nothing
would ever change my love for him.
So, so many
people, especially most recently, have demandedly
asked of me how much I really know him.
Yes, I know
and he knows how so much the horror of all of this
has played in what we had a right to be
experiencing, otherwise. We both know what that
played in the way we were forced to try to
communicate with one another.
But, because
of this, so much is missed or lost. There is so
much that we try to communicate to one another
that ....
Is he still
experiencing this horror - Isn't it enough that
there are so many of our friends who appear to
still be held? - or has he been able to escape?
And, if he's escaped, why is it so difficult for
him to be here, where I need him so badly - no, he
can/would be able to speak for himself, if that
were the situation, so I don't need to do so -
why, why, if there are so many wonderful people in
all of this, is it so hard for him to be here so
that we can hold each other and ... etc., etc.,
etc.

Hello,
This following is a "community email"
that is going out right now and is being sent to
you based on the assumption that you are, perhaps,
wishing to follow these developments. Please let
me know if occasionally receiving these routine
emails becomes too much for you or if, for any
reason, you don't wish to receive them.
Sincerely,
Marianne LaBrecque

Hi,
_________ ,
Thank you for your thoughtful words.
Yes, I agree
that one could say that, currently, there is no
balance in the world that I have entered. I'm
referring to the imbalance of power and influence
of corruption and organized crime over people,
such as myself and other innocents, who are both
being targeted, or at least, victimized through
that influence of corruption and organized crime,
while being unprotected by the laws and other
entities that are supposed to prevent and fight
such influence of corruption and organized crime.
One of the
things that I am working toward, as part of the
efforts in which I've been involved, is to help
bring that world back into balance.
I fully
realize that, to some people, this may seem like
an impossible thing to achieve. However, the only
rationale I can think of that may support such
negative thinking is that, once things and people
get really bad, there is no way to ever right it.
I don't agree with such negative thinking for a
number of reasons - and, as you probably know, I
can write volumes on all of those reasons. But
I'll just relay two here:
- One is
that, throughout my experiences in the work
world, I have been involved in bringing about
some type of "righting" or change.
Change management has become an area in which
I've had particularly significant success,
despite the negative thinking of those around
me, peers as well as higher ups, when I first
came on board or, one way or another, began
the various efforts to bring about change in
those various scenarios.
Change
management is a major part of my function as a
Corporate Resource Consultant and the skills and
techniques that I am using in these efforts are
all the same as I've, pretty much, always used
in the work I've often done. This includes the
communications, and what I try to achieve in
those, as well as the network development that
requires contact and development of a rapport
with other people involved in similar efforts,
whether it is locally, nationally or even
internationally.
Excuse my
pride, my unhumbleness, when I say that, if you
and others admire my creativity in my art, you'd
be bowled over to see how I'm able to use my
creativity and other capabilities in my
"Corporate Resource Consultant" work.
And, judging from the projects I've been
assigned/been hired to perform, others have
recognized my expertise in this area. One
person, for example, explained to me during an
initial meeting as I was coming on board, that
she was very much aware that I was a "do-er
and shaker."
The
expectation of me, in all of these assignments,
is to do things such as take the bull by the
horns and bring about swift and drastic change.
Being able to do such, while avoiding the very
human resistance to change, is where the art
comes in. It also requires me being able to use
well above average initiative and
resourcefulness and, yes, to have brass balls.
In almost every position I've held, I've been
given the latitude and the autonomy to do what I
had to do to be successful in this type of
thing.
What I'm
doing in these efforts is the same type of work.
And, in the continual analysis that's required
to "take the bull by the horns and bring
about swift and drastic change" I'm finding
that the complex dynamics involved in the
smaller scale projects in which I've been
involved are pretty much the same as we have
here, on this much larger scale, that are
involved, for example, in this imbalance of
power and influence of corruption and organized
crime.
- Another
is that, throughout history, there have been
times when things got "really bad"
and were then righted. Think of some of the
biblical reports, such as "Noah's
flood" and Sodom and Gomorra. Think of
other history such as the decadence in the
fall of the Roman Empire, the Spanish
Inquisition, Hitler's reign, etc..
Some of
the "righting" of those required even
centuries to achieve, such as the
"righting" after the fall of the Roman
Empire. Others took less time.
But the
reasons those were eventually
"righted" is something that exists
here and now, as well: There are many more
"good" people in the world than bad.
In addition, it is human nature to, in the very
least, resent being tyranized/terrorized and,
eventually, people find a way to repel and
overpower tyrants and terrorists.
Some very
positive things to realize:
Yes, we do learn from history. As time has
progressed, it's become easier to recognize
tyrants and terrorists as well as their tactics.
In addition, as time has progressed, we've
enhanced our capabilities to deal with such
problems. Some of what is facilitating the efforts
here, for example, is the current level of
communication technology as well as the
intellectual level of the general population which
enables many to be able to quickly decipher what
is happening, grasp the complex dynamics behind
it's proliferation, and, almost immediately
develop sophisticated strategies for helping in
this fight.
Regarding
what you say that "there is no shame in being
supplemented via vitamins/medications to return us
to center," shame is not the reason I've
refused to be psychologically medicated nor should
it be automatically presumed that what was trying
to be forced on me would "return me to
center." Based on the description of the
effects and possible side effects of Risperdal,
what Dr. Brandt said "they" (?) wanted
me to take, and what was "offered" to me
each night of my detainment, it would more likely
cause me to be very much "off center" in
a wide variety of ways - won't get into all of
that just now.
In addition
to the rest of what was included in the re:
illegal detainment in U.S., possibly to hamper
anti-slavery efforts > 08/17/04 - I'm home
[modified] version that you received, you
should know that, although, "personnel was
trying to go the route of recording that they have
prescribed that I be taking 2 mg of Risperdal M
tabs each day at 9 pm, " no prescription was
written up for me that would enable me to acquire
that after my release from that illegal
detainment.
And it's
also important to be aware/remember that I tend to
try to offer as much as possible of what is
happening in it's "plain vanilla" form,
rather than continuing with theories based on just
my own analysis of those events. Readers often
more highly value such conclusions when they
arrive at them themselves, through their own
analysis of situations. But the fact that, despite
what may sometimes appear, I am often taking this
approach is important to be aware/remember because
it often requires readers to be aware/remember
that deciphering may be needed on their part.
As far as
"return me to center," that is a phrase
which also assumes that being not in
"center," or the "norm" is not
acceptable. This was actually part of the
discussion that took place at the hearing between
the judge and the doctor, etc.. It surrounded a
question of whether me, or anyone, doing the type
of things that many other people may not do/be
willing to do should, automatically and in itself,
be grounds for diagnosing me, or anyone, as having
psychological problems.
Things that
were given as illustrations were that I've
contacted various local, state and federal
officials in these efforts, that I've devoted all
my time and much of resources to them and - get
this - that I believe that modern-day slavery
exists in the U.S. (?) or it may have been said
that because I thought it exists in our local
area. (I don't recall all of that verbatim, mostly
because I was shocked to hear that, there in a
formal court hearing, that was actually being
presented as an argument against my sanity, and by
a "doctor," no less, who evidently
specializes in psychiatry!) My having a copy of
the "Coalition Information" page of the
U.S. Campaign to Rescue & Restore Victims of
Human Trafficking website, www.acf.hhs.gov/trafficking,
helped shoot much of those arguments to hell.
I got
relatively little opportunity to speak in my
defense. Most of what little defense of me was
offered was by the judge, the "court
appointed" attorney and, eventually, as you
may have read in re:
illegal detainment in U.S., possibly to hamper
anti-slavery efforts > 08/17/04 - I'm home
[modified], by the doctor, himself, for
example, when he "said ... that 'perhaps' my
refusing to be 'medicated,' i.e., drugged, could
"also" be possibly viewed as a matter of
'personal preference.' "
It was
pointed out that, particularly in our local area,
many people devote the same amount/type of time
and their personal resources to the
casino/gambling, and that the efforts in which
I've been involved should "possibly" be
seen as perhaps at least a little more worthwhile.
The judge also pointed out the fact that my having
become involved in these efforts was due to my
"concern" for someone very dear to me
should also be weighed heavily in considering if
my behavior may fall within the parameters of the
"norm."
And, again:
At the
hearing ... the police officer ... and [the]
"complainant" ..., both of whom had
reportedly said that I'd been found walking
through the complainant's backyard with a
flashlight looking for people who had been
abducted admitted that that was not true. That
had been recorded in the police incident report
[and] was also given as the "circumstances
under which person to be examined was taken into
custody" ... so reportedly the reason that
I'd been brought to the hospital for evaluation.
...In a
meeting just prior to my release [one of the
three doctors who had "signed me in"
to be detained] explained that the
"evaluation" he had conducted of me
had been through his review of the medical
records there at this facility [which] means...
that not only was he using the incorrect
information contained in that, but that he was
not providing me with any opportunity for
comments, explanations, etc. ...
Eventually,
the "lasting" argument for my
"imbalance" - the reason given that I
was being released "AMA," i.e.,
"against medical advise" - was that I
was refusing to take the "medication"
that "they" wanted me to take due to my
"imbalance." Kind of a Catch 22, huh?!
So, that's
much of that in a nutshell - excuse the pun - and,
right now, there is still very much that has to be
done before I would even be able to have the
patience to do any other type of artwork.
Again, thank
you for your words.
Love,
Marianne
P.S. - and,
again, you've "inspired" another
community email.

Marianna,
I think
there is no balance in this world that you have
entered. However, I believe there is balance in
your art. Go back to it. That is real. That is
actual. That is clear. It is not disconcerting.
Your art has boundaries and it is true. By the
way, there is no shame in being supplemented via
vitamins/medications to return us to center.
Be well my
dear.
