HOW THE GRINCH, DAWN MCSWEENEY, STOLE ALL MY CHRISTMASES

 

 

Doesn't she look sweet?

 

 

 

But here is the truth about Dawn McSweeney

 

This is the real Dawn McSweeney

 

 

Happy Tree Yoga Guru,

Dawn McSweeney

 

 

I have had no Christmases since Dawn McSweeney robbed me of every precious thing I had worked for all my life, every precious gift given to me by my beloved husband, by family and friends through all the years. And then - because the Montreal Police refused to act - along with those she calls her "partners in crime", Dawn McSweeney went on to steal everything my father had worked for all his life.

 

 

As I was being attacked, I managed to call 911.

The Montreal Police I called to help me -

helped the thief instead.

 

Marlene Jennings,

Member of Parliament

and

Quebec Deputy Police Ethics Commissioner

stated at two public meetings in Montreal,

"Mrs. Carter's rights were violated three times."

 

Six months after  Dawn McSweeney robbed me -

After I had been pleading with the Montreal Police for six months, Dawn McSweeney finally returned my belongings - that is - the ones she didn't want.

 

If I didn't die then, I won't until I get back everything Dawn McSweeney stole.

The robbery took place on October 7, 1996 . Now it was mid March, 1997. I believe it was March 17, St. Patrick's Day.

 

With my heart aching, I carried the suitcase full of empty jewel boxes to the Montreal Police station on Mariette Street in NDG. It is a big old school building taken over at that time by the Montreal Police as their NDG headquarters. The place was dark except for a dim light in the entry hall. There wasn't a sign of a policeman or a police car.

It was the edge of a bitter cold evening. I crossed the street and knocked on the door of a house facing the station. I sat crying my heart out on the icy steps while the people there phoned 911. They were told that I should return to the station and ring the bell. Then a police officer came and answered the door.

What joy it would have given Dawn McSweeney to be witness to my agony when I opened my boxes and cases and found she had stolen everything I had worked for all my life, every precious gift, my every treasure. A lifetime, gone at the hands of a malicious and greedy teenager with the help of the Montreal Police and my mother, a mentally troubled old woman.

The suitcase had been full of my rings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, silver, gold, opals, diamonds, amethyst, onyx, topaz, designer works of art. She had taken everything - and spitefully sent back all the empty little velvet and cardboard boxes with friends from my church that had gone to 4995 Prince of Wales, NDG, to recover my things when Dawn called.

She had even opened one box from the bottom and removed my husband's rings from a pill vial, replaced the cotton in the vial and put it back in the middle of the box where I had hidden it among my lingerie and socks, and she resealed the box - at the bottom.

How did she know where I had hidden Cliff's rings? She had been listening when my emissary had gone to the house on my behalf a few days earlier and begged my mother specifically to return three of my most precious items, identifying them by labels I had affixed to all my belongings - stored in the house - some since 1988.

 

How do I know Dawn was listening behind the kitchen door? She opened the door and laughed and told my messenger and my mother that she and Alex - her boyfriend who had moved in with along with her a few days earlier - had heard every word.
And the Montreal Police - do nothing.

Mid-March, 1997: I showed the police the suitcase full of empty jewel boxes. Then they ostensibly "opened" an investigation. Two male and one female detective came to my place and dusted for fingerprints and finally took the suitcase and the cardboard box to test - they said - at their lab. It really looked serious, official, lots of gadgets. I thought, "At last ! At last !"

Soon afterward, the police told me "There were no fingerprints." They did not say there were many smudged prints. They insisted there were none.

How is that possible? I handled those things. Dawn McSweeney handled those things. Debbie McSweeney handled those things. Boxes that were returned by them were initialled with the letter "D" in felt pen to show they had been checked by either Dawn or Debbie McSweeney ! Friends from my church who picked up the boxes and cases handled them. But the detectives insisted that there were no prints whatsoever. Does anyone wonder why I don't believe them?

The detectives told me that Dawn McSweeney and Alex Lavergne had agreed to take polygraph tests and then changed their minds - "on advice of counsel".

 

Day after day, night after night, year after year, I plead for the return of my precious belongings while, somewhere in the darkness, the Yoga Guru, Dawn McSweeney, and those she calls her "partners in crime" continue to enjoy all the benefits of everything they stole from me and from my aged parents, and from my siblings and their children -  with the help of the Montreal Police.

And the Montreal Police - do nothing.

And so my battle continues, relentlessly, day and night, until everything that Dawn McSweeney and her partners in crime return everything they stole from me and from the Rubin Family and until the criminals and their accomplices pay for their crimes.

 

I am offering a $5,000. reward for the return of everything Dawn McSweeney stole from me and from my family, and I am seeking a lawyer to sue the Montreal Police for their participation in these crimes.

 

The lawyer who wins my case can keep the entire amount I am asking for, $100,000. for damages the Montreal Police caused me and my family through their negligence, irresponsibility and their repeated refusal to take appropriate legal action against the thieves and their repeated refusal to make any attempt to recover my precious belongings. I do not want money. I want what is my own.

Because the Montreal Police repeatedly refused to recover my precious belongings or to prosecute the thief, Dawn McSweeney and those she calls her "partners in crime", the thieves went on to steal everything my father worked for all his life.

 

Since the day of the robbery, the Montreal Police have been covering up these crimes.

 

I am offering a $5,000. REWARD for the return of everything Dawn McSweeney and her partners in crime stole from me and from my family with the help of the Montreal Police.

 

I am also seeking a lawyer to sue the Montreal Police in the amount of $100,000. for the severe damages they have caused to me and to my family by their negligence and irresponsibility and their deliberate and repeated refusal to take appropriate legal action.

 

The lawyer who wins my case can keep the entire $100,000. I do not want that money. I want what was stolen from me and from my family. I want justice.

 

I have fought for justice in this case day and night for 17 years, at great cost. My family was destroyed and my immune system was overwhelmed by these crimes - by this struggle for justice in an unjust system that pretends to be honourable. I am fighting cancer even as I fight for what is my own.

 

The cover-up of these crimes

by the Montreal Police continues,

And my struggle for justice continues

Relentlessly.

 

I DEMAND JUSTICE.

DEBBIE RUBIN MCSWEENEY COME BACK TO US - AN APPEAL TO DAWN'S MOTHER

 

I reach out to my baby sister. Debbie, who is now a grandmother.

 

Debbie,

 

I know that your daughter, Dawn McSweeney is a thief.

 

Dawn robbed me.

 

But her boyfriend, Alex Lavergne, writes again and again that YOU are the thief. And a stranger named Andrew Frankl writes that you are the thief. Where did he get that from? Alex Lavergne.

 

Sheila believes you are responsible for the crimes.

 

I know you never cared for money or jewels or material things. But I also know that you would do anything to protect your children.

 

I also know that you were always weak. Men control you and you obey.You are always afraid.

 

I am sure that Alex Lavergne, Ed McSweeney and Kenneth Gregoire Prud'homme are behind the crimes committed by Dawn.

 

How do I know? From my personal experiences and from common sense. By their actions. Plus motive, means and opportunity.

 

You would never have become a thief. Dawn and Alex and Ed and Prud'homme have made you an accomplice, a criminal - and a hermit. You are alone because you are afraid.

 

Ma was afraid. She did not fear death, she told me, but she was terrified of being placed in a public facility. That's why she gave you all that power that Dawn and her partners used to rob and destroy our family.

 

Debbie, I have always loved you and I can forgive you. Just return everything you have stolen and I will forgive you for the years of agony your actions have caused me.

 

I will never forgive Dawn and her accomplices, but you are my baby sister, and I will forgive you, You don't have to be alone. Just tell the truth and show the police where my belongings are.

 

I will share this with the world. Somewhere, someone will care enough to bring justice to me and to the rest of the family that Dawn and her partners in crime robbed - with the help of the Montreal Police.

 

Truth is the most powerful weapon on earth. You can't change it or escape from it. You have the rest of your life to live. Will you live it in fear and isolation, or come forward and end this nightmare?

 

If you are afraid, ask the police to help you get to a women's shelter. There, counsellors will help you and you can start to return to a normal life.

DAWN MCSWEENEY STOLE SEVEN PAGES OF INVENTORY OF PRECIOUS GEMS AND MORE

 

 

Dawn McSweeney stole

Coins, diamonds, gemstone, gold and silver rings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches,

irreplaceable personal belongings and much, much more.

 

With the help of a Montreal Police officer.

 

This ring looks similar to my grandmother's diamond and sapphire dinner ring that Dawn McSweeney stole on October 7, 1996.

 

I provided the Montreal Police with photos and appraisals for my ring and many other precious items in March. 1997. But the Montreal Police still do nothing.

 

Detailed reports of these crimes are open to the world at -

 

DAWN MCSWEENEY, GURU THIEF - http://dawnmcsweeney.blogspot.com.

 

She could not have succeeded in her crimes without the help of the Montreal Police.

 

Phyllis Carter 

 

My aged grandmother spent many years as a resident of Providence Villa in Toronto. As she was getting older, she decided to give me her diamond and sapphire dinner ring.

 

My mother wanted Bobbe Sol to break up the ring and give one diamond to each of her daughters, but my grandmother refused. She wanted me to have her ring - perhaps because I was the eldest daughter; perhaps because she knew me better than the others and I was closest to my father.

 

So my father and I took the train to Toronto where my grandmother gave me her ring and she made out a little note to prove her intention to give the ring to me for a nominal sum so the transfer of ownership would be legal and no one could take it away from me.

 

But Dawn McSweeney stole my grandmother's ring along with all my best jewellery and much more - with the help of a Montreal Police officer on October 7, 1996.

 

The ring was insured along with all my valuables. I made my insurance payments to Prudential "The Rock" Insurance via Thorniley Insurance at Pointe Claire, Montreal for THIRTY years. But when I was robbed  - with the help of a Montreal Police officer - Prudential dropped me like a hot potato.

 

I told the Prudential agent and Brian Thorniley that I did not want the insurance money, I wanted Prudential to investigate, go to my home at 4995 Prince of Wales, NDG, Montreal - from where the Montreal Police officer had removed me without any legal process or justification - and bring back my belongings. But they refused.

 

The Prudential agent told me it was because the police waited too long to file a report.

WHO IS INVESTIGATING THE MONTREAL POLICE ? THEY ARE HELPING THESE CRIMINALS

 

Dawn McSweeney's crimes, lies and manipulation tore our family apart. My siblings, their children and I were separated from my mother for ten years until her death in 2007 because of Dawn's crimes.

 

But Dawn could not have succeeded without the help of the Montreal Police.

and

Quebec Deputy Police Ethics Commissioner

"Mrs. Carter's rights were violated three times."

 

But there is no justice for victims of the Montreal Police. Since a Montreal Police officer helped Dawn execute the initial robbery, no one in authority has been willing to charge Dawn McSweeney and those she calls her "partners in crime" on her own blog, and the Montreal Police have refused again and again from the day of the initial robbery to recover my precious stolen belongings and everything Dawn and her accomplices stole from my aged parents, my siblings and their children..

 

Crime pays in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

 

The corruption in Montreal City Hall has brought about an investigation, but the commission is focused on the Mafia, not on the Montreal Police who have destroyed my family through their negligence, irresponsibility, complicity and a deliberate and sustained cover-up that has continued from the day the Montreal Police officer helped Dawn rob me to this very day.

 

I am offering a $5,000. reward for the return of everything Dawn McSweeney stole with the help of the Montreal Police and her accomplices.

 

And I am looking for a lawyer to sue the Montreal Police for $100,000. in damages to my life and to my family.

 

The lawyer who wins my case can keep the entire $100,000. I do not want money. I want that which is my own  -  everything Dawn McSweeney stole.

 

I demand justice. I will not settle for less.

 

If I have said or published anything that is less than the absolute truth in all these years, why has no one sued me? I am eager to have this case heard in criminal court, and I am available to take a polygraph test at any time.

DEBBIE MCSWEENEY HAS DISAPPEARED. HAS SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO HER ?

 

A stranger named Andrew Frankl wrote to me saying that my sister, Debbie Rubin McSweeney, "fell off the grid". Does this mean she has disappeared? What else could it mean? And what does this stranger have to do with my family?

 

I have no knowledge of where Debbie is or how she is. Does this mean that Kenneth Gregoire Prud'homme has done something to Debbie? Someone has to care enough to check to see if she is alive and safe.

 

I am 77 years old and fighting cancer. I can't do anything myself to help her. There must be some authority that can check to see if she is safe. The Montreal Police have repeatedly refused to investigate this case.

 

When my mother disappeared from her home years ago, I pleaded with the Montreal Police to try to find out if she was safe. They refused. After that, Dawn McSweeney's "partners in crime" - as she calls them on her own blog - kept my mother in total seclusion for a decade until her death in 2007.

 

The last I know of Debbie's circumstances came to me through a phone call my sister Sheila made to Debbie while I was in hospital in the summer of 2009. Sheila had me and Debbie on the phone at the same time. Since then I have no idea of where Debbie is or in what condition.

 

Debbie McSweeney's last address that I know of was on Cedar in Pfds circa 1993. But since then, a man named Kenneth Gregoire Prud'homme made a will in my mother's name (2005) and when my mother died in 2007, he took all of my father's estate, our family home at 4995 Prince of Wales, NDG, my father's life's savings, everything. So they may have moved.

 

Debbie suffers from narcolepsy. She is a simple, naive, very vulnerable person. Someone, please look into this.

Hello Phyllis.

 

Your baseless accusations are laughable. Truly. The first place to look, Phyllis, would be your sister, Debbie. Coincidence that after everything went missing, she fell off the grid? I think not. There is no such thing as coincidence.

 

Judging from your entire family history, lunacy runs deep. Save your father. He was a good man. A veritable paragon of a human being really, for sticking around until the end, but I digress. I drop you this line to share some thoughts.

 

Evolution is a really interesting thing. Evolution of law, as lunacy knows no bounds so every once in awhile laws need to be adjusted to protect those from lunatics such as yourself. Simply being a l unatic does not make you stupid, evidently. You knew that you wouldn't be able to be pursued in a civil case, because being the troll that you are you only choose to victimize those who don't have the means to protect themselves. You're quite clever, aren't you? Yuu must be so proud. As proud as I am disgusted on THIS LOYAL DOG HAS HIS BADGE - DAWN MCSWEENEY STOLE MY HUSBAND'S BADGE

 

 

THE THIEF, DAWN MCSWEENEY - I NAMED HER - I SAVED HER LIFE - SHE STOLE MINE

 

When my niece, Dawn McSweeney, was born, the family was at the hospital. My sister Debbie had the baby in her arms when suddenly she stopped breathing. Debbie was frantic ! Dawn was turning blue, but the nurse was more concerned about Debbie being hysterical and making noise than she was that the baby was not breathing and becoming bluer every second.

I ran out into the hall screaming for help ! I ran to the elevator where I saw a doctor and I begged him to hurry. He hesitated, saying this was not his patient, not even his department, but he rushed to the room and got the baby breathing again.

 

It was I who proposed the baby be named " Dawn". She was a beautiful child.

 

How could I ever have imagined that Dawn would lie and steal and tear my life and my family apart.

I'LL FIGHT TO MY DYING BREATH FOR THE RETURN OF EVERYTHING DAWN MCSWEENEY STOLE

 

 

 

 

Just looking at this photograph of the Royal Crown Derby Posies plate takes my breath away.

 

Dawn McSweeney stole so much beauty from me, from  my life, from my family.

 

Her greed and cruelty tore apart our family and destroyed my health.

 

I will fight to my last breath for what is mine, for everything Dawn McSweeney stole from me and from our family.

 

Even after my death, I will haunt her until she confesses and returns everything she stole.

 

LAWYER WANTED TO SUE THE MONTREAL POLICE FOR ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS

 

 

 

This diamond and sapphire antique dinner ring resembles my grandmother's ring which was among seven pages of precious inventory Dawn McSweeney stole - with the help of a Montreal Police officer.

 

The police cover-up continues to this day.

 

I am offering a $5,000. reward for the return of everything Dawn McSweeney stole from me and from my parents and from my siblings and their children.

 

I am also looking for a lawyer to take up my case against the Montreal Police for all the damages they have done to me and to my family through negligence, irresponsibility, dishonesty - in short - corruption.

 

I am offering the lawyer who wins my case against the Montreal Police the entire award of $100,000 - one hundred thousand dollars to win this case. This does not affect my claim for the return of everything Dawn stole from me and from my family.

LAWYER WANTED - ONE HUNDRED PERCENT PROFIT - ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS

 

I was attacked and robbed in my home at 4995 Prince of Wales, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. 

 

While being attacked, I manage to call 911.

 

The Montreal Police who responded to my call, helped the thief.

 

Since then, the Montreal Police have refused repeatedly to recover my precious stolen belongings or to take any action against the thief, Dawn McSweeney, and those she calls her "partners in crime" on her own blog.

 

Member of Parliament and Quebec Deputy Police Ethics Commissioner, Marlene Jennings, stated at two public meetings in Montreal in 2008, "Mrs. Carter's rights have been violated three times."

 

I do not want money. I want what is my own.

 

To support my claim, I am offering  $5,000. reward for the return of everything Dawn McSweeney and her associates stole from me and from my family.

 

Now I am considering another way of opening this case.

 

I would like to meet a lawyer who would sue the Montreal Police for what they have done and failed to do in this case, With the exposed corruption at Montreal City Hall, and all the information I have of the crimes of Dawn McSweeney and her friends, I think there is plenty evidence to support my case.

 

I am considering having a lawyer sue the Montreal Police for $100,000. in damages, not affecting  my claim for the return of all my precious, irreplaceable belongings and everything these thieves have stolen from my parents, my siblings and their children.

 

But I do not want the $100,000. for myself. I am willing to give the whole $100,000. to the lawyer who wins my case against the Montreal Police.

WHY DO PEOPLE FOLLOW EVANGELISTS AND GURUS ?

  

 

DAWN MCSWEENEY

Happy Tree Yoga Guru

 

 

The thief who destroyed my family, Dawn McSweeney, is employed as a yoga guru by Happy Tree Yoga in Montreal, Quebec. I have been reporting the crimes of Dawn McSweeney openly for many years. I can't understand why people follow gurus, even when their wrongs have been revealed. How can people give over their money and their minds to leaders whose actions have done so much harm?

I decided to review history - to research the question of why people follow evangelists and gurus without question, even when their misdeeds are well known. Here is what I found.

There was Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker

Tammy Faye Bakker

American televangelist Tammy Messner was born on March 7, 1942, in International Falls, Minnesota. She married fellow devout Christian Jim Bakker, and together they hosted television ministry shows in the 1960s and '70s, including The 700 Club and the Praise the Lord Club. In 1980, scandal ensued when Jim Bakker was caught having an affair with his church secretary, Jessica Hahn. Numerous other affairs surfaced, and the Bakkers fell from grace. In 1989,

Jim Bakker was convicted of fraud and conspiracy. Around the same time, Tammy filed for divorce, which was finalized in 1992.

 

And

This is a list of scandals related to American evangelical Christians.

(Roman Catholic clergy and high-profile leaders from New Religious Movements are not within the scope of this list.)

List of American evangelical Christians involved in scandals 1.1 Aimee Semple McPherson, 1920s–1940s 1.2 Lonnie Frisbee, 1970s–1980s 1.3 Marjoe Gortner, early 1970s 1.4 Billy James Hargis, early 1970s 1.5 Neville Johnson, 1983 1.6 Jimmy Swaggart, Marvin Gorman, Jim and Tammy Bakker, 1986 and 1991 1.7 Peter Popoff, 1987 1.8 Morris Cerullo, 1990s 1.9 Mike Warnke, 1991 1.10 Robert Tilton, 1991 1.11 Melissa Scott, 1992 1.12 Jim Williams, 1994 1.13 W.

AND THERE WAS JIM JONES 

Jim Jones, byname of James Warren Jones    (born May 13, 1931, near Lynn, Ind., U.S.—died Nov. 18, 1978, Jonestown, Guyana), American cult leader who promised his followers a utopia in the jungles of South America after proclaiming himself messiah of the Peoples Temple, a San Francisco-based evangelist group. He ultimately led his followers into a mass suicide, which came to be known as the Jonestown Massacre (Nov. 18, 1978).

                             

In the 1950s and '60s in Indianapolis, Ind., Jones gained a reputation as a charismatic churchman, and, after moving his headquarters to northern California in 1965 (first settling near Ukiah and then in San Francisco in 1971), he apparently became obsessed with the exercise of power. In the face of mounting accusations by journalists and defectors from the cult that he was illegally diverting the income of cult members to his own use, Jones and hundreds of his followers emigrated to Guyana and set up an agricultural commune called Jonestown (1977). As ruler of the sect, Jones confiscated passports and millions of dollars and manipulated his followers with threats of blackmail, beatings, and probable death. He also staged bizarre rehearsals for a ritual mass suicide.

On Nov. 14, 1978, U.S. Rep. Leo Ryan of California arrived in Guyana with a group of newsmen and relatives of cultists to conduct an unofficial investigation of alleged abuses. Four days later, as Ryan's party and 14 defectors from the cult prepared to leave from an airstrip near Jonestown, Jones ordered the group assassinated. When he learned that only Ryan and four others (including three newsmen) had been killed and that those that had escaped might bring in authorities, Jones activated his suicide plan. On November 18, he commanded his followers to drink cyanide-adulterated punch, an order that the vast majority of them passively and inexplicably obeyed. Jones himself died of a gunshot wound in the head, possibly self-inflicted. Guyanese troops reached Jonestown the next day, and the death toll of cultists was eventually placed at 913 (including 276 children).

 But I still don't know why people give their lives into the hands of gurus.

All I want from Dawn McSweeney is the return of everything she stole from me and from my family, with the help of those she called her "partners in crime" on her own blog - and the Montreal Police. I am offering a $5,000. reward at http://dawnmcsweeney.blogspot.com

 

THIS LOYAL DOG HAS HIS BADGE - DAWN MCSWEENEY STOLE MY HUSBAND'S BADGE

FACEBOOK

May 14, 2013

Cheryl L Bullock shared K-9 Officer's photo.

 

K-9 Officer recognizes K-9 Officer Bodi whose end of watch was this past Sunday. In more than seven years with the Colorado Police Department, Bodi, an 11-year-old Belgian malinois went on 509 deployments, helped locate 49 suspects and assisted with 119 arrests.

Bodi joined the department in February 2003 and served his time with Officer Troy Rosenoff. During his time, Bodi helped sniff out evidence from numerous crime scenes including clothing, guns and knives.

In 2009, Bodi was deployed with a SWAT team to search for an armed felon who had barricaded himself inside a building. Bodi led officers into the building after negotiations failed, and the suspect was arrested after Bodi found him hiding in a bathroom. The dog helped drag the man - who weighted 240 pounds - into the hallway.

In 2010, Bodi helped officers arrest eight men who were armed and suspected of robbery. The suspects were accused of several robberies throughout the county and allegedly shot at people during one of the robberies. Bodi was called in to search for two of the suspects, armed with a shotgun, who led officers on a short foot chase. A short time later, Bodi located officers to the pair.

RIP Officer Bodi
