RICO Redux in STL

    Matt Grant’s refiled RICO complaint is rocking St. Louis federal court. The “family court mafia” crusader cut out the most outrageous parts of his first 170-page filing after Judge Joshua Divine shredded it as “plainly deficient many times over.” His new 81-page version strips out the State of Missouri, wild demands to purge judges, and focuses instead on a “criminal enterprise” he says runs family court like a racket. Some say he’s fixed it enough to reach discovery. Others call it still garbage, destined for the shredder. Now the battle lines are drawn over whether this legal Hail Mary survives.

    Colorado Court Cartel: Rabbi Jacob Bellinsky ambushed by Colorado courts after Supreme Court filing service in retaliatory arrest.

    Colorado Court Cartel: Rabbi Jailed After Supreme Court Filing Service Trap

      Rabbi Jacob Bellinsky walked into a routine probation meeting and straight into a trap. The Colorado family court machine—already stung by his federal court victories—pounced on a false report from his ex-wife in Indian River County, Florida. What should have been a simple U.S. Supreme Court filing service became the bait for a retaliatory arrest. Judges Dinsmore Tuttle and Philip Brimmer are accused of weaponizing the law to silence him. On The Unknown Podcast, co-hosts Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe call it “a brazen frame-up” and “retaliation, plain and simple.” The courtroom cartel has been exposed.

      STL RICO Case Falters: Lawyer Matt Grant faces federal court Judge Divine’s rebuke as Sept. 15 deadline looms for amendment or sanctions.

      STL RICO Case Falters

        Matt Grant’s so-called “landmark” RICO case is collapsing under federal scrutiny. The 49-year-old St. Louis lawyer accused judges, lawyers, and even his ex-wife of running the “largest courthouse corruption scheme in Missouri history.” But Judge Joshua Divine torched Grant’s 170-page filing, calling it “scattershot” and “possibly vindictive.” Grant now faces a September 15 deadline to radically amend or face dismissal and sanctions. On The Unknown Podcast, Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe blasted the complaint as suicidal. Meanwhile, sources close to his ex-wife accuse Grant of erratic behavior, endless custody filings, and even delusional paranoia.

        Boyne's Connecticut Justice Fraud: Gag orders, illegal raids, and judicial cover-ups in a First Amendment battle shaking the state system.

        Boyne’s Connecticut Justice Fraud

          Connecticut blogger and journalist Paul Boyne has become the unlikely face of America’s First Amendment fight. Prosecutor Jack Doyle’s two-page gag motion to muzzle Boyne ignited a firestorm, barring him from publishing his own discovery. On The Unknown Podcast, Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe shredded the move as unconstitutional overreach. Boyne accused Governor Ned Lamont’s agents of staging an illegal raid and claimed ex-Justice Joette Katz secretly pulled strings. His lawyer, Todd Bussert, offered only a half-hearted fight. Boyne calls it “pretend justice” — a system that tramples speech and proves Connecticut no longer honors the First Amendment.

          Veronica Sanchez

          Judge Sanchez’s Gag Order War on Mother and Medicine

            A D.C. Family Court judge is facing national backlash after gagging a protective mother and banning emergency medical care for her brain-damaged children without prior court permission. Judge Veronica Sanchez’s draconian orders favor Joseph “Jay” Scallan, a DHS official known for robot sex antics and child neglect. Despite dire medical warnings from top neurologist Dr. S. Gregory Hipskind—dubbed the “Michael Jordan of SPECT scans”—the court has ignored expert advice and punished the mother. Critics are calling it a Deep State cover-up, where politics trumps medicine and justice. The children remain at risk—and their mother silenced by force of law.

            Idaho Senator Tammy Nichols exposes family court abuses—secret custody orders and rogue GALs weaponized to punish parents.

            Idaho Senator Tammy Nichols Exposes Family Court’s Secret ‘Legal Weapons’

              Idaho State Senator Tammy Nichols is blowing the whistle on what she calls the family court system’s “legal weapons.” In a fiery episode of The Unknown Podcast, Nichols joined journalists Michael Volpe and Richard Luthmann to expose how judges and attorneys use ex parte custody orders and unaccountable guardians ad litem (GALs) to steamroll parents—mostly mothers—without hearings, evidence, or appeal. These tools are used nationwide to silence and bankrupt the powerless. Nichols calls it a civil rights crisis and vows sweeping reform through her statewide task force. With media silent, the grassroots are rising—and Idaho just lit the fuse.

              The New Jersey Devil: Diane Womer blames journalist Richard Luthmann for exposing corruption in NJ Family Court.

              THE NEW JERSEY DEVIL IN THE COURTROOM?

                In a fiery moment inside Sussex County Family Court, Diane Womer, head of Family Matters of Morris County, branded journalist Richard Luthmann “the devil.” Her accusation came not in defense of a child’s safety—but in frustration over Luthmann’s growing exposés targeting the shady underside of New Jersey’s family court. From TheFamilyCourtCircus.com to The Unknown Podcast, Luthmann and co-host Michael Volpe are ripping the lid off corruption, favoritism, and profiteering in court-appointed supervision schemes. As public outrage builds and reform efforts mount, insiders like Womer—who wine and dine judges while cashing in on forced visitation—are seeing their empire threatened.
