Too Much Power in the Hands of Unfit Persons Breeds God Complexes — and Wreaks Havoc on Society

I have treated many patients with god complexes, but the ones who are hospitalized with the belief that they are God, in a desperate attempt to escape the painful reality of their helplessness, are not the ones who are the most dangerous. The most dangerous are those out in society who actually act like they are God, having taken power positions that they neither deserve nor can handle, for being psychologically, morally, and spiritually unfit. They are largely unrecognized in society, despite being more dangerous for their devious and deceptive ways of using power to disguise their incompetence. In Family Courts, the lack of public scrutiny, the cooptation of existing structures through a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) scheme, and “court seals” have covered up child kidnapping, child sex trafficking, child pornography production, and the mayhem and murder of children and loving parents (as well as reporters) to keep the business going.

I came to learn of this secret world of organized crime through my sister’s divorce, in which her peaceful household was torn apart when her children were raided, kidnapped, and “sold” to their formerly absentee father and violent abuser. Never had I seen such violence in my life, despite specializing in treating violent offenders! This is because, when violent offenders can “legalize” their own actions, there is no limit to the harm they can do. Now, my sister is being actively targeted for murder — by an ironically-named, Family “Court”! And the reason? She is an impeccable former government official and model mother they did everything to try to “break” but could not, having underestimated a former New York State governor’s executive assistant who acted as his “right-hand woman” and directed all First Responders on Ground Zero after the greatest enemy attack on U.S. soil, September 11 — all while she was still in her twenties. The usual course is that Family Courts would assault the loving mother so viciously and unexpectedly, that any ordinary person would be broken psychologically — especially as their children are taken from them to be tortured and brutalized. Then, once the mothers are broken, they can be declared “unfit” and be permanently barred from seeing their children, while forced to pay exorbitant “child support,” the abuser’s legal fees, and court appointees’ salaries, until they lose everything, including their homes, possessions, life savings, retirement, and human rights. I have seen this happen over and over, to Ivy League-trained doctors, accomplished lawyers, and even multi-millionaires — who lose everything to Family Court. The Courts have no deference for credentials, reputation, track record, wealth (unless it comes to them), or certainly innocence, only that they have full power over you, no matter who you are.

The “guardian ad litem” (“GAL”) in my sister’s case came close to killing her at least twice. Since I started writing public articles trying to expose her abuses of authority after the law professor’s advice, the “GAL” abrogated my First Amendment rights through the guise of a “protective order” against me. She tried to silence me before by sanctioning my sister with 27,000 dollars, for my articles that my sister had no control over and did not even know about. The GAL’s mindset is much like her protective judge, Jane Gallina-Mecca, who was written up in the Washington Post for making up laws to violate the First Amendment rights of a reporter. Still, the judge did not learn, and was recently rebuked again by the legal department of a major magazine for trying to “unpublish” an article containing my interview, again in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

The GAL recruited Judge Michael Antoniewicz, whom she works with extensively and who is a subordinate of Judge Gallina-Mecca. Any reasonable judge would have recused himself, but she would not have recruited him if he were a reasonable judge. Family Courts operate almost exclusively through incestuous conflicts of interest and corrupt abuses of process. Because their activities are basically criminal, they cannot allow in outside experts or independent evaluators — which is why the GAL, too, has been repeatedly appointed by the same judges in the same court, and the most ignorant and incompetent “attorney” I have ever seen — not to mention immoral — has no trouble finding work. These are the same low-level, poor-quality Family Courts that do everything not to appoint me as an expert witness, when even the highest-level criminal courts have treated me with only deference and gratitude for my work.

Needless to say, there is no “threat” to the GAL’s safety — but so intoxicated with power is she, the slightest nuisance to her feels like a “threat”! The GAL has literally very nearly killed my sister multiple times, irreversibly damaged her children, and injured her in the most extreme ways my sister ever experienced in her life — this is the typical experience of loving mothers, rarely loving fathers, in Family Courts, where they lose all their constitutional and human rights. Yet, despite my sister having actual medical evidence of threats to her life, the compromised judge predictably would not issue a protective order for my sister. My engagement in Family Court cases as a forensic psychiatrist has shown me that, whatever Family Courts decide, the opposite extreme is likely the correct decision (in the approximately forty cases in which I served as an expert witness, 98 percent went the wrong way — sending children to their rapists, batterers, and would-be murderers, while the good parent lost custody).

What most people do not recognize is that the greatest human violence happens not in battlefields or war zones but in the home. Thus, when a corrupt “court” system capitalizes on this violence as an opportunity to profit by further victimizing the victims — as well as to satisfy their lust for cruelty — it is providing a haven for the most dangerous individuals our society produces. Not only that, just like Family “Court” actors themselves, undue power in the hands of the incompetent amplifies their dangerousness multifold, borne out of now ballooned expectations morphing into out-of-control megalomania and grotesque delusions of grandeur. This is what turns into god complexes that do not hesitate to “justify” their arbitrary rulings by falsifying “evidence”, decimating good parents to the point where they cannot fight back, and sacrificing children to lifetimes of torture, sexual slavery, and suicide if not murder. Violent perpetrators, who believe they are not only being “gifted” with impunity but financial bonanzas, are further affirmed in their violence — until it intensifies into spousal murder, child murder, and murder-suicide.

It is tragic that I must write a letter as the below to a so-called “judge”, but money is all that speaks to her:

September 4, 2024

Judge Gallina-Mecca:

I am updating my demand that you address the financial responsibilities of a litigant whose crimes you have so far covered for in every possible way — which is the real reason you have shunned me, as the primary and most qualified witness of his violence against his children — even though I do not expect anything. If kidnapping, child rape, battery, and attempted murder are nothing to you, what is a third person’s entire savings? Theft of others’ entire wealth is a given to you — and I am not just speaking of the damage you have caused me but countless others, who are coming out to speak up against you (see the attached petition for your impeachment).

You gave my niece and nephew to a violent psychopath and destroyed the lives of not only these children but all those who love them, because you thought it would be profitable. You employed a psychiatrically sick, sadistic torturer of children to be their “guardian ad litem,” because she is efficient to your goals. You may believe that your black robe allows you to play God, but judicial immunity is not impunity. There is something called truth, and numbers do not lie; facts and evidence do not simply disappear.

As a reminder, here is what your darling litigant, Alan T. Chan, owes me:

$ 883,120.94

(Eight hundred eighty-three thousand one hundred twenty dollars and ninety-four cents)

These are all marital expenses, including house and status quo maintenance ($321,228.03), legal fees ($470,235.56), and medical costs ($91,657.35), up to and including August 31, 2024, only. All receipts and itemizations in an Excel spreadsheet are available if you ever looked for them. Additionally, minimal house maintenance costs we have been urgently waiting for since the beginning of the year are $43,755.00 (forty-three thousand seven hundred fifty-five dollars), and the arrears of the minimum deposits you ordered him to make, on which he is still delinquent, are $19,847.09 (nineteen thousand eight hundred forty-seven dollars and nine cents).

For the final time, do what is right.

Sincerely,

Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div.

She gave a repetitive response, and so I wrote her back the next day:

September 5, 2024

Judge Gallina-Mecca:

Your robotic, mindlessly repeated response, that I am “not a party” to this matter, is irresponsible and unacceptable. You are the one who forcibly made me an unwilling participant in your illegal and unconstitutional rulings — causing me to expend almost a million dollars, as I never have before in my entire life — purely to protect your favored litigant’s illicit financial schemes.

Being a judge does not mean you are above the Law.

Your hand was revealed when you refused to do what any normal and responsible judge would do: have me testify as a fact witness against Alan T. Chan’s daily violent abuse of his children and his spouse, which nearly killed each of them on multiple occasions.

Instead, you extended your hand in all manner of places where it does not belong: interfering with Child Protection Services (CPS) investigations by canceling their interview with me; ordering the Child Abuse Hotline not to take reports on this case; falsely attempting to incriminate me with the State Police (which they dropped); falsely arresting me and a renowned, elderly psychiatrist at the children’s school (which the prosecutor called “obviously overblown” and dropped); attempting to “unpublish” national magazine articles containing my interview (for which you were rebuked for violating the U.S. Constitution) — which reminds me of your rebuffing a foremost Constitutional scholar in the nation warning that you were violating the U.S. Constitution in this case — and enabling Alan T. Chan to slander and character-assassinate me in order to discredit me as a witness.

This is why a petition for your impeachment is gaining record momentum (with 1500 signatures, dozens of witnesses against you, and the governor and senators willing to hear them) — please do not forget to read the comments — and why I and my sister have a federal case against you, which will only be the first of many among the numerous loving parents you have victimized.

Regrettably,

Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div.
