Marti Oakley Doubles Down on Marty Prehn



By Ninja:

Did Marti Oakley put Marty Prehn on the bench while she's still out playing the game?

A few months ago, I wrote an article about Marty Prehn's relationship with Marti Oakley, NASGA, and their affiliates Boomers Against Elder Abuse. It was very alarming to see that Oakley had interviewed Prehn and allowed him to spew outrageous lies about alleged abuse of his mother, when all the evidence proves that it was actually in Marty Prehn's care that his mother's health deteriorated until other family members stepped in and rescued her from his neglect.

Brief recap of her health: She was malnourished, thin, had fallen and was badly bruised when Prehn left her alone for the day. He even rationed her medicine because he didn't want to pay the deductable despite having control of the entire family fortune. 

After she went to live with her daughter, her health flourished, and she was well taken care of. Marty however, had nothing negative to say about how his sister and other family members were taking care of their mother UNTIL the money Marty had been greedily swindling was cut off from his grubby mits. That is the entire issue with Marty and his fake stories about his mothers abuse.

So, when I started looking into Oakley, I wondered why this woman wouldn't check into this story if she is such a wonderful advocate for such a notable cause. I won't rehash everything I wrote, but you can go back and read it here.

 
Oakley and her cohorts had every opportunity to right the wrong they did when they allowed Marty to take over their facebook pages and groups spreading his lies. Not just in his mothers case, but also in the case of Dr. Chism. Marty seems to glom on to stories for self made notoriety. It is apparent by reading this blog, the lengths Marty goes to with his demented stories and outright lies. He has slandered, harassed, libeled, and defamed numerous innocent people along his way. Now, just how effective is a spokes person for an Elder Abuse Organization when they don't verify stories? What are the recourses for innocent family members, maliciously slandered on her radio shows?  How reckless and ruthless is this woman, to pretend she is standing up against Elder Abuse, when she interviewed the abuser?

It is beyond appalling that Oakley chose to pretend to "bench" Marty by deleting a few posts he made, without offering an apology to the family members her platform slandered. She chose to completely ignore the entire situation, which she knew about, and hid. The discussion on LinkedIn was appalling to say the least.  And to add insult to injury, Marty is still re posting the NASGA and Boomers Against Elder Abuse Facebook updates and Oakley is boasting about her new radio shows. It is terrible journalism in my honest opinion, when people purport to be advocates, yet they aren't telling the listeners the truth. If you or your family has been viciously lied about by someone on Oakley's radio shows I hope you speak out. There is nothing admirable about an advocate who supports abusers.


Listed below is Oakley's bragging list of stations. Maybe people should call these stations and their advertisers to point out what type of programming they've decided to add:


Tampa, FL (102.1 FM and 1630 AM),
Las Vegas, NV (1520 AM and 107.1 FM),
Lancaster, PA (102.1 FM & 1640 AM),
Macon, GA (98.3 FM & 810 AM) and now
Boulder, CO (100.7 FM).

How's that whole ignore it and it'll go away thing working out Marti?

What's up with Marti Oakley, her "Truth Squad", NASGA, and theirsupport of Marty Prehn?



We're going to bifurcate from the endless adventures of Marty Prehn for just a moment to discuss one of his...who are we kidding.. his only media contact named Marti Oakley, who works with the group National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse (NASGA). One of their other names is Boomers Against Elder Abuse (BAEA).


By Ninja. 

Marti Oakley works with the group who's main name is National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse “NASGA.” One of their other names is “Boomers Against Elder Abuse” BAEA. Marti produces an internet talk show called “Truth Squad.” In looking at the words, “Truth Squad” one would think the focus would be on “Truth.”  Seems pretty cut and dry, but upon further investigations perhaps Marti Oakley's definition of “Truth” differs a great deal from actual “Truth.” NASGA proudly promotes their relationship with Oakley. A quote on one of their numerous web pages says, NASGA is very pleased to know and affiliate with Marti Oakley, host of the “T.S.Radio” internet talk program and author of “The PPJ Gazette” Blog. On the bottom of the page they say, “Note: We post the weekly T.S. Shows on the NASGA blog. On the blog, do a search for T.S. Radio, and then click the “listen live” link which, after the show has aired will take you to the archive.”

Recently a group called “TeamX,” put together a very compelling video about Marty Prehn and focused on court documents available on the PACER website, that no one, up until this point had bothered to view. Not even Marti Oakley. Marty Prehn's story is a complete fabrication of the factual events that took place and led to him being exposed as an abuser of his elderly mother.
Here are just a few of those blatant fabrications, that had Marti Oakley cared enough to research, could have saved herself, NASGA, BAEA and others a lot of embarrassment.

1. Marty claims the CO court ignored his mothers will. He never submitted the will & was even held in contempt for not producing it. 

2. Marty claimed he requested a mental exam for his mother. His siblings are the ones who requested the exam. 

3. Marty claimed Mrs Prehn's signature was forged on documents. The signature matched previous signatures by Mrs Prehn. It didn't match the appearance of her signature while under Martys care. This is because Marty kept his mother over sedated so she would sleep all day while he left her alone. 

After being alerted to the Team X video by a fellow NASGA member in a LinkedIn conversation, the comments by Oakley were extremely concerning. How can some of the main mouth pieces for a group, just minimize, downplay, and outright ignore the abuse of an elder, when faced with some very compelling information? Contradicting Oakley's own PPJ Gazette motto, "In the age of information....Ignorance is a choice.”

Quote from Marcia S: (BAEA's admin)
 “The disclaimer says that the video wasn't put out by his family. So who is Team X?”

Quote from Oakley:
 “Probably from the site that hates him so much. But even so, why would you waste your valuable time doing something like this? Stuff like this discredits all of us who are working so hard to change things. I would suggest keeping an eye on it, but don't forward it or pass it around and get your name associated with it. Just my thoughts.”

Ok Marti, here it goes. There is nothing truthful about your “Truth Squad” that I can see.  Let me answer some of your questions, which is more than you do. Why waste valuable time? Let me explain. Because people like you that pretend to bring it real, only focus on buzz and hype. If you were anything about “truth” you would have made sure the story you were going to report was true. How is researching court documents a waste of time? Waste of your time perhaps, but not ours. Using your own words, you are ignorant. “Stuff like this discredits you”? Well DUH. You chose to interview Marty Prehn without researching his story. You discredited yourself, and you also linked NASGA and all affiliated names (BAEA etc) in with you.

You would rather sweep this connection under the rug, than lift it up and expose the dirty little secrets about abusers, that you pretend you are against. The fact that you knowingly chose to delete the very thread these comments were posted on, is proof of just how sick you are, and how low you are willing to go to hide the “TRUTH” from being exposed. Marti Oakley, your actions speak louder than the words you typed, although they are pretty loud too.

Quote by Oakley:
  “Very true Tony. We don't have to do anything but be vigilant and cautious. IF what they are saying is true, we don't have to do one thing. This stuff only works IF we agree to participate. IF we don't, these people get bored need their negative “fix” and will move on to someone else to attack. Don't give them any fuel for their cannons. The last thing we need is to get sucked into something we can do nothing about......but we also don't want to be tagged as having been part of the attack. Having been the target of more than one of these attacks by a person that I consider to be somewhat running short of brain bricks, I simply refused to respond......eventually......the attacker is left out there twisting on that rope that you speak of and they have no one to blame but themselves. If anyone is going to be tagged an a## let it be them.....not you.”

The first part of this is the most disgusting. Do not do anything if they are telling the truth. They will just go away. The truth will not go away Oakley. Since when is telling the truth, a negative fix? When is telling the truth an “attack?” Marti, you are tagged whether you like it or not. You say this “stuff” only works if you agree to participate. You did participate, you interviewed a liar, who you gladly allowed to use your “Truth Squad” platform to further promote his lies. This is not an attack as you call it, this what advocates/activists are supposed to do. Call people out, when they aren't being honest. Put a stop to further abuses, which you seem to state you are against, yet you support. No, what you mean is that you don't want to do anything because you are trying so hard to sweep your own ignorance under the rug. You did not do your due diligence. By your choice.  

Speaking of sweeping this under the rug, seems your team of abuser protectors will also put protecting themselves over protecting the public from abusers.

Quote from Marcia S.(BAEA admin)
 “I personally don't plan to get involved. No one has mentioned this on BAEA, and if they do, I'll probably delete it. Who needs it?”

Really Marcia? You'll just delete the truth as well? Why? What are you so afraid of? The TRUTH? What a disgusting group to be affiliated with, when they would rather hide the truth, instead of admitting they were not diligent in their investigations of a story they so proudly promoted? Oakley, you are very transparent. You may have deleted the thread, but you can't delete the past/present. Your support of the liar/elder abuser/con man Marty Prehn has been documented. I suggest you not sweep this further under the rug. The truth will always surface no matter how far you think you've swept it. Such a dirty little mess you could have cleaned up easily, but chose not to. Not once, not twice, but numerous times.  It would appear that the “Truth Squad” has been exposed, and in this particular case is the Fraud Squad.

In wanting to promote the truth, we encourage everyone to listen to the Marti Oakley interview with Marty Prehn, then compare it to the court documents on Pacer. This is simple due diligence that any activist/advocate should do to make sure they are presenting factual information to the public.

A few quotes from Marty Prehn, that we agree with. Smile Marty, you've been exposed.

“You have to get educated, that there are despicable people like that.”
“Desperately evil and wicked.”
“They do not want to be exposed doing the criminal things I believe they are doing.”
“The way to expose this, is we have to get the media attention.”
“The word is getting out there, we just have to get more than a handful of people to say that this is a problem.”

AMEN! Thank you Team X, The Chronicles of Marty, and everyone who understands when there are bad advocates out there, they make it twice as hard to achieve Justice for the rest.

Marty cons Marti!



Having been completely ignored by the Detroit and national media, Marty Prehn has found a little known (and little listened to) internet radio host named Marti Oakley, who has a broadcast ironically enough called "The Truth Squad".  Marty Prehn is a recurring guest interviewee.

Apparently, Oakley frequently provides a platform for a group called NASGA - The National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse, an admirable enough cause.  I can see how such an organization with little funding would enjoy having any publicity, as long as it coincided with their mission.  

That's where things get dicey. 

There is compelling evidence presented by this and other blogs that Marty Prehn is not what he claims to be.  In fact, he is quite the opposite.  He abused his late mother financially, physically and emotionally. Documents available online for anyone, including Marti Oakley and NASGA, are accessible at Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER), a website often utilized by real journalists everywhere.

Had Oakley done her due diligence before turning the microphone over to Marty, she never would have permitted his claims of his mother's mental health when with her daughter, the existence of records that Marty was held in contempt for not providing to the court and about a dozen other crazy assertions.  I do not know of Marty's relationship to NASGA, but their website leads me to believe that it's members pay dues and make cash donations, as they are a 501(c)3.  

Readers: We all know that Marty doesn't pay for anything. Ever!

Marty Prehn: Get a job, you bum, and quit scamming people.

NASGA: Do you really want Marty to represent your organization when he not only doesn't pay his dues, but regularly cites your organization as being called "NASAGA" and has a documented history of abusing the very people you advocate for? 

Marti Oakley: Would you like to rename your show to... umm... gee, I don't know, "The Scam Squad"?
