Going back to Jane Phelan article that discusses the manipulation of language in the legal system and Politics, particularly focusing on the misuse of terms like “Fascism” and the implications of the judicial corruption.
Language Manipulation on Politics and Law
The term “fascism” has become diluted and misused in political discourse, losing its original significance. Politicians exploit this term to manipulate public opinion, paralleling concerns raised by George Orwell about labeling opponents as fascists. The legal system similarly employs obfuscating language, with terms like “guardianship” often masking predatory practices against the elderly.
Guardianships and Elder Abuse: The term “adult guardianships”, which is supposed to signify protection for the elderly, is described as achieving the opposite, instead of safeguarding the elderly these guardianships often result in the predation of their assets and medicalized harm, which the document bluntly refers to as “theft” and “murder”
Judicial Corruption and Misconduct
Allegations of corruption involve judges accepting bribes linked to fraudulent home loans, undermining the integrity of the judicial process.
Attorney Paul Cook’s efforts to recuse Judge Upinder Kalra highlight issues of bias and unprofessional conduct, with Kalra dismissing concerns about financial impropriety as “untimely.”
Judge Kalra’s refusal to acknowledge the motion to recuse reflects a broader trend of judicial protectionism, particularly regarding elder abuse cases.
Two examples of Judge Kalra and Judge Murphy from Los Angeles.
There is an allegation that Judges receiving bribes and payoffs through fraudulent home loans and goes like this-Judge takes out a loan, and Another party pays it back like “laundering money” it is called “loanbacking” a way for judges to enrich themselves illegally while ensuring CASES REMAIN LOCKED OR MANIPULATED IN THEIR FAVOR.
JUDGE KALRA HAS EXECUTED NEARLY $4 MILLION IN SUCH TRANSACTIONS, VERY CONCERNING ABOUT FINANCIAL IMPROPRIETY AND JUDICIAL CORRUPTION.
Judge Kalra’s dismissal of attorney Paul Cook’s Motion to Recuse is framed as Orwellian. By striking the motion from the record and treating it as if it does not exist, the judge’s actions are likened to the ’Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984, which erased politically inconvenient events from the official record.
Apparently Paul Cook has tons of evidence against the Notary who was pivotal in executing a financial elder abuse scheme against Cooks’s Father. The fraud was to affix a $730,000 loan to his father. While Judge Kalra claimed Cook had no evidence, then an article en ZeroHedge appeared with some information then Kalra reconsidered whether Cook can proceed with his lawsuit against the notary. Despite all the Machiavelli’s maneuvers by Judge Karla Paul Cook will continue filing an appeal, Cook is continuing his efforts despite the Judge’s dismissal of his concerns.
Then we have Judge Mary Ann Murphy an L.A. Superior Court judge that despite having 17 declarations from attorneys Murphy refused to step down and prevailed in remaining on it. Another example of judicial misconduct and resistance and to accountability.
Unfortunately this is not the first time a Judge has been accused of trying to protect elder abuse in the best reference is in the Dr. Sam Sugar’s book- “
Guardianships and the Elderly, the Perfect crime” this suggests a broader pattern OF JUDICIAL COMPLICITY OR NEGLIGENCE IN CASES INVOLVING ELDER ABUSE.
Conclusion Janet emphasizes the need for scrutiny of judicial practices and the language used in
legal contexts, advocating for transparency and accountability in the courts.
Groundbreaking Court Filing Targets Judicial Corruption

A groundbreaking recusal motion has been filed in a case currently active in Los Angeles Superior court, alleging that the judge in the elder abuse case of Kwon Whan Cook has been involved in excessive and suspicious loan activity.
This motion, filed by attorney Paul Cook, takes the issue of the compromised judiciary out of the realm of speculative journalism and puts it squarely in front of the court. This reporter has been stating that this is exactly what needs to take place, if much needed reforms are to happen.
The issue of a compromised judiciary goes directly to the perception that we have suffered a quiet “coup” and that the promise of the Founding Fathers of a level playing field for everyone no longer exists. If, in fact, the judiciary is now compromised and is littered with individuals, posing as independent judges, who appear paid off or under outside influences to violate the law and to promote specific agendas, then what does that say about the other two branches of government?
Are Congressmen and state legislators also on the take? Are we being treated to a theatre production which is meant to quell our concerns about the nature of this quiet coup? Is the US a Carefully Constructed “Mock-Up?”
Legal reforms have clearly failed. A compromised judiciary does not need to follow new laws as they have equally failed to adhere to old laws.
Cook, in his petition for recusal, cites a number of factual concerns:
From “August 4, 2012 to October 29, 2020, Judge Kalra took out $3,952,000 in mortgages on one of his houses. (Dec. of Paul Cook.) Between March 20, 2020 to October 9, 2020, a substantial amount of these loans were paid off in rapid succession, totaling $1,296,000 to $1,546,000.2 The most rapid turnaround was for a loan of $796,000, which was repaid in less than 6 months. (Id.) Although the MERS system says a loan of $646,000 was paid off, no reconveyance was publicly recorded. (Id.) 14. Judge Kalra was doing business as Sol Properties and Sol Investment, which focused on real estate investments. These holdings were not reported in [the judge’s] economic interest forms.”
Following the financial thread, Cook also notes that judge Kalra made disparaging comments concerning Cook’s competence and threatened him with sanctions for filing Exhibits which would buttress his case and expose the bad faith and unprofessionalism of the main defense attorney.

Will there be prison time for this corrupt Judge?

Cook appeared before judge Kalra on September 17 in LA Superior Court. Judge Kalra looked ruffled and quickly told Cook that he would be striking his Motion from the record. The matter was put over until next week.
Striking a Motion from the record is the same as burying it and acting as if it never took place. Having reviewed transcripts from previous hearings I can verify that the disparaging comments took place. And having reviewed the records relevant to Kalra from the County Recorder’s office, I can equally verify that Kalra has a suspicious loan history.
Pursuant to the aims of justice and integrity, Judge Kalra and the Chief Judge Sergio Tapia were contacted by this reporter this week. The correspondence follows:
“Judge Kalra,
A deep dive into your loan history has produced some questions. For example, I see where you took out a home loan for $796,000 and paid it back within six months. In fact, you have reconveyed nearly 4 million in home loans since ascending to the bench.
Based upon my research on the federal reserve interest rates, it appears some of these subsequent loans you have taken out are at a higher interest rate, negating any perceptions that you are simply refinancing these loans. No one refinances a loan at a higher interest rate
Pursuant to these concerns, would you please provide me evidence that you have personally paid off these loans. Canceled checks will suffice. Would you also please provide the documents reflecting the interest rate of each loan?
Just so you know, I am a reporter… and also the author of a number of books. I also maintain a vibrant radio presence, having been interviewed on a number of prominent networks and shows, including WBAI, KPFK and Coast to Coast.
Thank you,
Janet Phelan”
Something has to break with the compromised judiciary. I would like to take this moment to congratulate attorney Paul Cook on standing up against judicial tyranny and squarely facing this issue, head on, as well as attempting to protect his indigent and mentally handicapped father against predators and seeking the justice he wants.
Paul Cook is an attorney at law and an independent journalist. He received his bachelors of arts and bachelors of science from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He has a Masters of Strategy from Victoria University at Wellington, New Zealand. In May of 2012, he graduated with a juris doctorate from UCLA as well.
Since being licensed in June of 2013, Cook has been a visiting legal scholar at UCLA and has published various academic articles and newspaper commentaries. One thing that stands out in his online bio is that his actions appear to be faith based. His bio, and this is unusual for one in the legal profession, states the following–
“Commands he tries to live by: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ . .
Love your neighbor as you love yourself.'” (Matt. 22:37, 39, GNT).
At the time of going to press, there has been no response from the court to the query entered on Judge Kalra’s loan history.
