   Wisan: “The tragic irony behind this emergency petition and the other contrived attacks against the District Court and its Fiduciary, is that there would be no Trust property for the Petitioner to accuse the District Court and Fiduciary of “mismanaging” and “wrongfully taking” had the District Court not acted to prevent Warren Jeffs from looting the Trust and abandoning what was left in default judgments to tort plaintiffs . . .”

   . . . who were funded and hypnotized by Dan Fischer as part of a scheme for taking over the trust (as described in Lost Boy), a scheme in which the court and its fiduciary are obvious participants.

   It is way obvious the UEP was created to support a culture. The seizure and control by the state is the means in which the government can destroy it. I started reading the response but was too repelling for me to continue reading it, I can’t do it.

   First Amendment, if what you say is true, all they had to do was answer the petition and file a motion for summary judgment. The FLDS couldn’t be bothered to even respond. That lack of response is what propelled the State to take over. Do you realize that if the State hadn’t stepped in the UEP trust would be owned by the Lost Boys.

   People file frivolous lawsuits all the time. Sure it takes time and money to answer them, but it would have been a heck of a lot cheaper to answer them sooner rather than later. If you read the dictations of Warren Jeffs, you will note that he specifically told him people not to respond. He was aching for a head on collision with the government and took very deliberate steps to make sure that it happened.

   The losers in the long run are the rank and file FLDS people. They are footing the bill for all the legal expenses Warren deliberately caused by his inaction in some cases and his very specific actions in others. He is quoted as saying that he took to 14 year old girls as brides to provoke a response. He got one all right, but I’m not sure he really expected all that he got.

   Indeed, proudtexan, it does appear from Brent Jeffs in “Lost Boy” that Dan Fischer cultivated a number of former members and sent them to Larry Beall to be hypnotized. He paid for lawyers to sue the trust, and in Brent’s case at least, got him a lawyer even before Brent had recovered his memory of abuse (a memory that is, without a doubt, no more than a fantasy). These boys were told to expect seven figure settlements, but then Fischer’s lawyers talked them out of that when they realized they could grab the whole trust. This was a great prize and everyone was very excited. But the takeover could only work if Wisan were secretly Fischer’s man. Thus, what we have here is a conspiracy by which meritless proxy lawsuits (meritless because hypnotized testimony is not allowed in Utah) were spun into a takeover of the entire trust, installing a fiduciary who owes his allegiance to the very man he was supposed to be protecting the trust from. With the AG and judge winking like crazy at this travesty.

   Yes, WJ did screw up when he told the lawyers not to respond. He was going by something Jesus said, apparently, but Jesus was not a lawyer and this mistake allowed Fischer and Wisan to grab the trust. I doubt that anyone knew what had really happened until Brent put it into his book, but doesn’t matter, because once the conspiracy is recognized, the state cannot let it go on. Justice demands that Fischer and Wisan be investigated (along with this judge and the AG), and that the looting of the trust be stopped.
