Marty Prehn - Nashville or Bust!

There's an almost surreal electricity in the air here at CoM HQ as, once again, the Moronic Mongoose is proving just how worthless and stupid he really is!

As Marty attempted to yet again hijack someone else's hard work in order to make himself seem legitimate, he took things just a little too far. In the process, he did this blog a great favor by showing that he does the exact things we've been trying to point out for years. For now, I'll just provide the coverage of Marty's latest fake advocacy attempt and save the "I told you so" for another time.

With Marty's promise to be in Nashville Tuesday fast approaching, there was suddenly a bump in the road to Tennessee. It seems that Marty once again tried to insert himself into a situation he wasn't included in or had anything to do with. You know, the standard Elder Dawg hijack attempt. I'll only share a few of the many comments in this thread, but suffice it to say, I've archived them all in our massive idiot database We'll start with this doozy:

We previously covered Marty's attempt to latch onto Ms Falk, including his claim of being a distant relative of the family (it's all in the dimples). As she mentions in this comment, Marty spewed so many of his greatness delusions on her organization's page she was forced to delete and block the loon. She's totally hip to just how the Mongoose operates - find something he can claim to be an advocate for, act like a driving force behind it, claim to be a representative of someone involved and generally try to create the illusion that he engineered the whole thing. Ms Falk's comment is a spot-on description of what we've been saying about Marty since the beginning of this blog. I'm sure every claim she made is very recognizable to anyone who reads here. Same old Marty, only the dates and names are different.

To me, the best part of that comment is the ending. Ms Falk points out exactly what Marty does to his victims with laser beam accuracy. She even compares him to the very people he claims to be fighting against. I don't think Catherine fully understands why Marty reminds her of these people, but we do. Marty is a proven Elder Abuser of both his mom and Florence Iverson.

There are a high number of comments in this thread, but of course Marty has already deleted it. CoM to the rescue! Here are a few more:

These side comments are some of my favorites. Ms Falk starts out by pointing out this very blog (Thanks for the link drop, Catherine). She then continues listing all of the stupid things Marty did in his latest hijack attempt. Once again, it's all stuff Marty has done many times before. He's following the standard Mongoose Tutoring syllabus on how to insert yourself into something just to make yourself look important. Unfortunately for Marty, this time someone caught on to his bullshit.

Marty, being the childish idiot we all know so well, follows her comment with some juvenile idiocy and his standard Facebook cease and desist thrown in for good measure. Marty still hasn't figured out that the truth is not slander or defamation. I'm still waiting for Marty to claim Ms Falk will soon be charged with felony cyber stalking. We all know it's coming soon. Is the time now, Marty?

Ms Falk quickly points out just how stupid Marty's comment is and that he needs mental help. She even goes so far as to point out how delusional Marty is by referencing Marty's go-to greatness claim. He was responsible for the tearing down of the Berlin Wall? Any sane individual fully understands that claim is ridiculous. The fact that Marty still claims it even while he's being exposed as the dumb ass liar he is, just proves how mentally ill he really is. Upon information and belief of course, right Marty? Then, Marty gives Ms Falk the same mental diagnosis he does anyone who points out he's a con artist wannabe lying pile of crap. Must be bi polar! We've heard that at least a dozen times, Marty, starting with your brother, Richard - the brother who filed a restraining order on your retarded ass. "I know you are but what am I?!?"

This truth assault on Marty wasn't just Catherine Falk. Her partner in the work on this proposed legislation also joined the conversation. Here is a sample of how that went for the Elder Avenger:

Our loyal readers surely immediately recognized who this commenter is. Marcia is a past Marty supporter and subject of a couple of posts on this blog. She decides to come to the defense of Catherine and agrees that what Marty attempted to do "seemed bizarre" and Ms Falk was justified in calling him out. Somehow, Marty finds a way to insert some form of sexual reference by comparing Catherine's truth assault to a woman falsely crying rape. Only perverted Marty could come up with that analogy. Marcia attempts to point out the absurdity of this stupid comment while also telling Marty to not go away mad, just go away.

Marcia leaves another comment that confirmed what we here at CoM already knew. She was one of the NASGA members who attempted to support Marty with an anonymous comment here. This is her comment:

Marcia points out to Marty that he's not involved and very unqualified to use the insertion tactic he tried ("Who are you?" Hmm? Marty who?). This is true of every hijack attempt Marty makes, so it's not really breaking news. Marcia should be well aware of who and what she's dealing with. She was given many warnings by those involved with this blog. After she and her NASGA friends finally discovered Marty was a fraud, he was kicked out of the group and his comments disappeared from any of the group's sites. They then just pretended Marty was never a part of their group and that he hadn't been able to dupe them into believing his lies.

I'll wrap up this latest Elder Dawg stupidity coverage with some thoughts for the people involved to ponder:

Marty; Nice try, dumb ass, but you've been spotted again. Maybe someday you'll get the mental help you need so you can move past your desperate need to look powerful and important. You're still a loser in real life, regardless of what lies you tell on Facebook.

Ms Falk; I commend you for not only working hard for a cause you believe in, but also being wise enough to know when someone is just trying to use you. You recognized what Marty really is and you've now twice called him out as the liar he is.

Campbell children and extended family; I'm sorry you have become the latest scam target of the Mongoose and I hope that you will point out to all of your contacts that Marty is a fraud so he can't prey on them as well. Editorially speaking, I truly loved Glen's music.

Marcia Southwick and NASGA; You are advocating for a cause that you believe in. When people like Marty are permitted to join you and then be defended by you when someone points out what he really is, you risk your credibility while Marty has no credibility to lose. Being conned by the Mongoose isn't shameful, it's happened to a lot of people. The shame comes when attempting to hide the fact that you were fooled, you don't warn the others that you are advocating with. This leaves your friends and partners open to be conned by the same man you once defended. Think of how many fewer victims Marty would have if you had only spoken up when you first learned he was a fraud.

I wish you all luck Tuesday in Nashville and don't worry about Marty showing up. Every claim he makes is a lie and his rally against Elder Abuse on the steps of the capital is as well. That idiot can't afford gas money to get him to the next county, much less a plane ticket and hotel room. 

Besides, those brake pads and wiper blades aren't going to deliver themselves, you know...

Marty: Does This Look Familiar?

Marty, when you have to use someone's computer for your scams, you really should do a better job of deleting. You sure left some great stuff behind. This is just a tease so you know I have it now. YOU'RE AN IDIOT!

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?

Dissing NASGA, Marty Prehn Pushes For Guardianship!

Today the CoM discovered some startling new information. I believe we have uncovered Marty's newest devious plot and latest victim. After receiving an alarming tip that Marty was the driving force behind having a man committed to a mental institution until April 1st for a mental evaluation, we began researching. It appears that shortly after Marty moved in with Linda Fergan Bowery a petition was filed to have her brother committed to a psychiatric hospital. This public record combined with a phone call to a concerned third party looks like confirmation that Marty has convinced his new girlfriend, unknowingly or otherwise, to help him find his latest scam. Based on Marty's past we can only guess at what the real reason is behind this. 

Is Marty hoping Linda might become her brother's guardian which would give her, therefore Marty, access to his assets? Wouldn't this go against everything NASGA, Marty's favorite organization, fights against? Does her brother own a home that Marty hopes to be able to move into? Did Linda's brother voice concern about Marty worming his way into a family with money to scam off of? What could be Marty's reason to force this man to now have to fight for his freedom?

If any of this sounds familiar with our continuing coverage of Marty, it should.  Same story, different victims. He'll do another 180 when he finds that the court will not appoint either Marty or his goofy girlfriend as guardian, just like he did with his mother.

I guess we'll have to wait until April 1st for those details. Perhaps there is a justifiable reason for this court action, until you get Marty Prehn involved. Based on all of our previous observations, we know that everything Marty does is for self benefit. He has never helped anyone with anything unless he stood to profit somehow from it. Apparently he has found his local version of Florence Iverson. A woman he has somehow brainwashed so that he can manipulate her into helping him. How many more people will this monster hurt before somebody puts a stop to it? There is no limit to how low Marty will stoop when he sees his next gravy train.

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"?
