Luthmann's Family Court Bombshells: Journo joins Maryann Petri exposing CPS corruption, Title IV fraud, missing children, and cancel culture.

LUTHMANN FAMILY COURT BOMBSHELLS: The Gauntlet is Thrown on Slam the Gavel Podcast

    Richard Luthmann lit a match and tossed it straight into America’s family court system.

    Appearing on Maryann Petri’s Slam the Gavel podcast, Luthmann accused CPS, family courts, and federally funded contractors of running a profit-driven racket fueled by Title IV money — with children treated as inventory and, in some cases, vanishing altogether.

    From a 935% spike in missing Illinois foster kids to fake “advocates,” career criminals, and cancel-culture enforcers weaponizing the courts, Luthmann pulled no punches.

    His message was blunt: follow the money, expose the fraud, and prosecute the predators — or shut the whole thing down.

    Scumbag Jason Samaritano Arrested Again in New Jersey: Career criminal and fake family court advocate faces charges and probation trouble.

    Scumbag Jason Samaritano Arrested Again in New Jersey

      Jason “Jay” Samaritano is back where he belongs: under arrest. The self-styled “family court advocate” was busted again in New Jersey, adding another charge to a criminal history that already includes fraud, theft by deception, stalking, and probation violations. A judge warned just months ago that Samaritano was a “repetitive offender” who was “highly likely to reoffend.” That warning proved prophetic. Instead of reform, Samaritano escalated—harassing real family court advocates, targeting their families, and terrorizing critics online. Now, with probation hanging by a thread, New Jersey’s most notorious fake crusader is facing the consequences he long evaded.

      Black Widow's 400‑Page Meltdown: Elizabeth Faulkner’s smear collapses as Judge Rakov recuses. Weigel: “Venom and vengeance, not justice.”

      Black Widow’s 400‑Page Meltdown

        Elizabeth Faulkner, known across the Hudson Valley as the “Ulster County Black Widow,” just hit a wall. Her 400-page legal broadside against protective mother Helen Garber—stuffed with falsehoods and personal vendettas—was swatted down by Judge Sarah Rakov, who recused herself rather than dignify the spectacle. According to Family Court Fraud Warrior Project founder Dave Weigel, Faulkner’s motion was “a smear campaign dressed up as law.” Court insiders say it was pure retaliation—an attempt to jail Garber and steal her child. But this time, the Black Widow’s web may finally be unraveling under public scrutiny and legal sunlight.

        Black Widow Lawyer Seductress and Destroyer: Ulster lawyer Elizabeth Faulkner accused of sex, corruption, and silencing Helen Garber.

        Black Widow Lawyer Seductress and Destroyer

          In Ulster County, New York, a lawyer dubbed the “Black Widow” has spun a web of deceit around the family court system. Elizabeth Faulkner, infamous for seducing and marrying her clients, now stands accused of masterminding a courtroom racket built on lies, intimidation, and sex-for-service deals. Nurse practitioner Helen Garber dared to expose her—and paid the price. Missing evidence, gag orders, and judicial cover-ups followed. Investigative journalists Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe, with Family Court watchdog Dave Weigel, are pulling back the curtain on what they call “a court of injustice.” The question: Who will stop it?

          Bergen NJ Banana Republic: Bandy Lee vs. the Family Court Cartel

            In Hackensack, a courtroom erupted as Dr. Bandy X. Lee, Yale- and Harvard-trained forensic psychiatrist, stood pro se against Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca’s gag order. With Guardian ad Litem Evelyn Nissirios accused of running a “child slave trade,” the fight was no ordinary custody squabble. Legendary constitutional attorney Bruce Fein watched from the gallery, while activist Dave Weigel and his Family Court Fraud Warriors broadcast the spectacle. Dozens of reform advocates filled the room, demanding justice. Dr. Lee’s stand against judicial corruption isn’t just about Bergen County—it’s a battle for the Constitution, family integrity, and America’s soul.

            Family Court Free Press: Wall Street dad Dave Weigel and journalist Richard Luthmann expose corruption, betrayal, and “journalistic treason.”

            Family Court Free Press Showdown: Wall Street Dad and Firebrand Journo Expose “Treason” in the System

              Wall Street whistleblower Dave Weigel and firebrand journalist Richard Luthmann are teaming up to blow the lid off America’s family court racket. Together with the Family Court Fraud Warrior Project, they accuse the system of systemic dishonesty, judicial corruption, and “journalistic treason.” Weigel calls Luthmann “a rare bird” with the guts to publish names and faces the mainstream media won’t touch. Their exposés have shifted power dynamics, sparked outrage, and ignited reform. But the fight has fractured reformers, with California journalist Susan Bassi accused of betraying victims by burying stories. The stakes are clear: Is press freedom already dead in family court?

              Susan Bassi’s Journalistic Treason

                A bitter feud has erupted inside the family court reform movement, now dubbed “Susan Bassi’s Journalistic Treason.” Once hailed as a transparency crusader, California journalist Susan Bassi stands accused of betraying protective parents by torpedoing the case of Julie Holburn, a mother fighting to expose abuse and corruption in Orange County. Richard Luthmann, Michael Volpe, and Family Court Fraud Warrior Project leader Dave Weigel have blasted Bassi as a turncoat protecting the very system she once vowed to fight. The fallout has sparked a civil war, leaving the reform movement fractured and Bassi’s credibility under fire.

                Brain Scans Broken Systems: Family Court Warriors join Amen Clinics in using SPECT scans to expose trauma, fight injustice, and drive reform.

                BRAIN SCANS BROKEN SYSTEMS

                  The Family Court Fraud Warrior Project (FCFWP) is turning pain into proof. In a powerful alliance with the Amen Clinics, founder Dave Weigel and over 2,200 family court survivors are becoming educated about how brain scans can expose trauma the courts ignored. Amen’s SPECT imaging doesn’t just diagnose—it visualizes PTSD, anxiety, and abuse-related brain damage. “This isn’t emotional fluff,” said Weigel. “This is hard data the courts can’t deny.” Legal and Forensics Manager Marla Owens put it bluntly: “We can prove the trauma.” Together, they’re building a revolution: a movement where brain science is justice’s new weapon.
