1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: The following presentation isn't del Marvis Studio's production. 2 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: Welcome back truth seekers from around the world. It's time 3 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,960 for another edition of The fact Hunter podcast. As we 4 00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:41,799 record on this late Sunday afternoon, July the twenty sixth, 5 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,039 twenty twenty six. Hope everybody had a great weekend. A 6 00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:51,280 special Sunday edition of The fact Hunter. This past Wednesday, 7 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,799 we had rabbit Hole Wednesday and we put three kind 8 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,240 of obscure rabbit holes out there, and I asked you 9 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,479 which one you know was the most interesting, and it 10 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,840 was overwhelming. The story about Georgia tan aka Bulah George 11 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,200 tan born in July eighteenth, eighteen ninety one, died September fifteenth, 12 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,239 nineteen fifty basically the same day that the story broke. 13 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,560 And I'm sure that was just a coincidence, whether she 14 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,439 truly died of cancer, took her own life, or the 15 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:30,200 powers that be took her out, because listen, she had judges, governors. 16 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,560 She would have been a threat. And you know, when 17 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,959 it comes down to things like that, when it's a 18 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,120 power play, usually the people with the most power come 19 00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:42,840 out victorious. And what's very interesting when you take the 20 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,040 time to look at the Wikipedia. It's an extremely sanitized 21 00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,640 which is kind of mind blowing when a child trafficking 22 00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:52,599 scheme can come out sanitized when you look at the 23 00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:56,159 true story. Another thing I should mention, I strongly encourage 24 00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:58,200 every one of you to get a newspaper dot com 25 00:01:58,239 --> 00:02:01,920 subscription if you can. Normally you can get it for 26 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,040 a dollar for the first week, do all the research, 27 00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:07,480 you can clip it, and then you can cancel that. 28 00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:10,719 We only spent a dollar. But going back to the 29 00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:14,280 original timeframe of these stories and seeing how they were 30 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,199 viewed and written back then is truly mind blowing. But 31 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,240 before we get into the story, I just wanted to 32 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,280 throw something out there, big shout out to one of 33 00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:27,719 our listeners. You know, you look at the roots of 34 00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:33,520 these names, and Beulah and Hebrew is metaphorically of Judea, right, 35 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,039 and then you have her last name Tan, which again 36 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,000 was ta n before it was americanized with double N, 37 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,080 which means dragon. So it's basically you can look at 38 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,240 it as the dragon of Judea. And you know what 39 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,560 an evil woman she truly was. And we're going to 40 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,759 just jump right into it. It's again, she was born 41 00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:00,960 Beulah George Tan. She was an American child trafficker who 42 00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:05,000 operated the Tennessee Children's Home Society, which was an adoption 43 00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:09,599 to agency in Memphis, Tennessee. She used the unlicensed home 44 00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:12,360 as a front for her black market baby adoption scheme 45 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,479 from the nineteen twenties until a state investigation into numerous 46 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,479 instances of adoption fraud being perpetrated by her closed the 47 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:26,080 institution in nineteen fifty, and she legitimately died within twenty 48 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,599 four hours of the story going public of cancer. Whether 49 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,599 or not you know, this came to light when she 50 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,240 was dying and she said, hey, you know, don't release 51 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,520 the story till I'm gone or again. It was a 52 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,560 power play and they took her out. We don't know, 53 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,080 but how did she do this? While she used pressure tactics, 54 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,240 she used threats of legal action and other methods to 55 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,159 take children from their birth parents, mostly single, poor mothers, 56 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,680 and sold them to wealthy patrons. Tan also arranged for 57 00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:59,400 the taking of children to born that were born to 58 00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:04,000 inmates should say at Tennessee mental institutions, and those born 59 00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:08,039 to wards of the state. Through her connections truly evil stuff. 60 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,199 Tan also arranged for what her victims, who were now 61 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,960 adult referred to as kidnapping. In some cases, single parents 62 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,480 would drop their children off at nursery schools, only to 63 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:22,879 be told that welfare agents had taken the children. In 64 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,000 other cases, children would be temporarily placed with the society 65 00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:30,439 because a family was experiencing, say illness or unemployment, only 66 00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:33,680 to find out later that the society had adopted them 67 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,480 or had no record of the children ever being placed. 68 00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:40,920 And again a lot of this happened, you know, at 69 00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:45,079 the turn of the century everybody started depending on the 70 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,879 state and the government. Before then it was more community 71 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,439 and even the church. And here you have this woman 72 00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:56,120 Tan documented as taking children born to unwed mothers. And 73 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,399 back then, you know, what was the old story. You know, 74 00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:02,759 if she went off to fat camp, she'll be back 75 00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:05,800 in you know, six or seven months, yeah, you know, 76 00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:12,360 and or you know that the newborns required long term 77 00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:15,639 medical care. And when the mothers asked about the children, 78 00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:19,079 Tan told them that the babies had died, but they 79 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,399 were actually placed in foster homes or adopted, and her 80 00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:27,240 crimes were accomplished with the aid. And how many times 81 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,120 have we had a podcast, whether it was the Cash 82 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,560 for Kids podcast. These corrupt judges who the wrath should 83 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,680 be tenfold what an ordinary citizen should be right. With 84 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,240 the aid of Memphis Family Court Judge Camille Kelly, who 85 00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:46,680 used her position of authority to sanction Tan's tactics and activities, 86 00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:49,680 Tan would identify children as being from homes which could 87 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,279 not provide for their care, and then Kelly would push 88 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,879 the matter through her dockets. So Kelly also severed custody 89 00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:01,199 of divorce mothers. She would put the children with Tan, 90 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,040 who arranged for adoption of the children, into homes better 91 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,120 able to provide for the children's care. Now, many of 92 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,680 the children were placed into homes where they were actually 93 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:18,319 used as child labor on farms with abusive families. You know, 94 00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:21,199 to say this is evil stuff is like saying the 95 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,600 Atlantic Ocean is a little wet. It's awful. And when 96 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:28,360 the adoptive parent discovered that the information on the child 97 00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:32,920 was incorrect, right, whether it was cases of falsified medical 98 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,639 histories or whatever the case may be, Tan would often 99 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,000 threaten the adoptive parents with possible legal action that would 100 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,560 force the surrender of their children and that would be 101 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,279 ordered by Judge Kelly, and then Tan would destroy the 102 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,959 records of the children that were processed through the Society 103 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:54,959 and conduct minimal background checks on the adoptive homes as 104 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,120 long as they had the cash right and even many 105 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,680 of the files of the children were fictionalized before being 106 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,120 presented to the adoptive parents, which covered up the child's circumstances. 107 00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:09,519 How they were placed with the Society, and as a result, 108 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,319 the Child Welfare League of America dropped the Society from 109 00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:16,720 the list of qualifying institutions in nineteen forty one. But 110 00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:20,720 remember nineteen forty one, the world, the state, the country 111 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,639 was focused on the beginning of World War II, or 112 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,920 at least the America's involvement. Obviously it started before that, 113 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,199 but the Georgia Tan Tennessee Children's Home Society scandal resulted 114 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,319 in adoption reform laws in nineteen fifty one. Now, how 115 00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:41,040 did the out of state adoptions work with the Tennessee law. 116 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,800 At the time, the home charged about seven dollars per adoption, 117 00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:49,680 and you had adoptions in surrounding states such as Mississippi, Arkansas, 118 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,000 and Missouri, they were about seven hundred and fifty dollars 119 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,439 to be arranged. However, Tan also had arranged for out 120 00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:02,079 of state private adoptions or she charged a premium upwards 121 00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:06,360 of five thousand dollars per child. And this is nineteen thirties, 122 00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:11,040 forties and fifties. That's a lot of money. Now, she 123 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:15,120 pocketed about seventy five percent of the fees for her 124 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,879 personal use, and obviously the other twenty five percent probably 125 00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:22,959 went to paying off judges, maybe a police if he 126 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,680 got a sniff, and the governor. There's a lot of 127 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,759 people who were getting some cash. Now. The Tennessee Children's 128 00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:35,720 Home Society was closed in nineteen fifty. And here's the thing. 129 00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:42,840 Ten made millions millions of dollars selling children. Now here's 130 00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:46,559 the thing. Ninety percent of the children sold went to 131 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,639 New York in California. New York and California did vow 132 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,759 to take action, but the adoptions were never investigated, so 133 00:08:56,919 --> 00:09:01,240 no children were ever restored to their adopted or their 134 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:07,600 original family, I should say, and it's just awful. Now. 135 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:15,039 There were notable personalities which we mentioned on Wednesday. Joan Crawford, right, 136 00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:19,519 daughters of Christina, I should say, daughters Christina Crawford and 137 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,679 twins Kathy and Cynthia were adopted through the agency. June 138 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,440 Allison and husband Dick Powell also used the Memphis base 139 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,000 home for adopting a child, as did the adoptive parents 140 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:36,000 of professional wrestler Rick Flair and New York Governor Herbert Lehman, 141 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,960 who signed a law sealing birth certificates from New York 142 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:49,360 adoptees in nineteen thirty five. And man, I think there's 143 00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:52,440 been two movies made, Missing Children A Mother's Story from 144 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,320 nineteen eighty two Stolen Babies from nineteen ninety three, and 145 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,480 the subject of Georgia tan Does appear in an episode 146 00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:08,399 of Investigation Discovery series Deadly Women entitled Above the Law 147 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,080 that aired September thirteenth, twenty thirteen, and also appeared on 148 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:23,000 an episode of the Infamous Unsolved Mysteries. So it's something, 149 00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:28,039 it truly is, you know, becoming the director of this 150 00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:33,159 Memphis chapter of the Society in nineteen twenty seven, ran 151 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:39,480 through nineteen fifty you're talking twenty three years, and through trickery, deceit, 152 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,320 and outright fraud, she stole children from parents through a 153 00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:48,440 variety of sources such as baby scouts, corrupt judges, and 154 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:55,480 even more corrupt politicians. And she placed over five thousand children. 155 00:10:55,519 --> 00:10:57,759 And that's just the ones they could account for all 156 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,399 over the country, and again many of them to Jewish 157 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,240 families in New York and to some very big names 158 00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:10,879 in California. How did they do it well? Birth certificates 159 00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:15,960 were rewritten to make the children's background fit the desires 160 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:23,879 of prospective parents. They are taking Christian children and giving 161 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:29,399 them Jewish sounding names. Other records were destroyed to cover 162 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:35,240 the tracks of the Oran Orphanage and their criminal acts 163 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,360 of kidnapping. Pardon me a tongue twist there, and you 164 00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:43,320 know it's just it's vile, and if you're a follower 165 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:49,840 of Christ, her operation was satanic in both method and consequence. 166 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,440 She stole children from their God given families, buried their 167 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,279 true identities beneath these forged documents, and sold them them 168 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:07,120 into lives built on deception. Christian children were deliberately severed 169 00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:11,679 from parents who would have possibly, maybe hopefully, taught them scripture, 170 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,679 prayed with them, and raised them in the knowledge of 171 00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:17,279 Jesus Christ. Maybe not. But to take them out of 172 00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:21,799 that background, give them Jewish names under false circumstances is 173 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:27,799 so evil. Giving those children fabricated names and religious backgrounds 174 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:35,080 wasn't just paperwork, man, That's the calculated erasure of their 175 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:41,480 Christian heritage and the spiritual inheritance their families had every 176 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:48,440 right to pass down. The consequences reached far beyond those 177 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,000 five thousand children. She Georgia Tan and the power so 178 00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:56,080 that be the governor, the judge, and listen, there was 179 00:12:56,159 --> 00:13:01,559 many people involved, and we'll talk about them. Them. They 180 00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:08,519 shoutered bloodlines, and they've redirected generations away from the faith 181 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,519 of their forefathers. Some of those children may never have 182 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,080 heard the gospel within the homes that God originally gave them, 183 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,720 and their own children were then raised beneath an identity 184 00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:27,360 founded upon kidnapping and lies. This was warfare against the family, 185 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,720 the truth, and the souls of children. And it was 186 00:13:30,759 --> 00:13:35,240 an enterprise that was fueled by greed and protected by 187 00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:40,320 powerful people. John ten Ten says, the thief cometh not 188 00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:44,759 but for to steal and to kill and destroy. And 189 00:13:44,879 --> 00:13:52,000 a few descriptions fit Georgia Tan's work precisely, Evil Dragon 190 00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:57,000 of Judea. And you know, children were often taken from 191 00:13:57,039 --> 00:14:01,240 their mothers under the pretense of seeking medical care. The 192 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,600 mothers were later told their children died and had buried 193 00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:09,039 without notification. I mean, how do you even keep up 194 00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:15,000 with all the lies. So Tan would run ads and 195 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,879 newspapers throughout the country with captions like you want a 196 00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:23,720 real live Christmas present, that's how, which she would put 197 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,759 in the newspaper. Children would be delivered throughout the country 198 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:35,759 by her workers and her lesbian lover partner and adopted daughter, 199 00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:42,639 Anne at Wood Hollinsworth, who quote volunteered at the Tennessee 200 00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:47,279 Children's Home Society. And you had more political clout behind it, 201 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,240 Edward Hall boss Crump. He was the political clout behind 202 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,399 Georgia Tan. He wielded great power and influence in Memphis 203 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,919 and Tennessee. So he would send his cronies to hand 204 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:06,399 any disputes, whether they be threats or maybe grease the 205 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,519 palms with a fifty dollars bill, which in nineteen thirty 206 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,639 or forty would have meant the world to some people. 207 00:15:15,919 --> 00:15:19,080 He would also use his influence to change laws to 208 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:26,240 fit the needs of Georgia, Abe d Walldouer. And this 209 00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:29,559 is the part of the story that doesn't get enough, 210 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,240 and I don't even think you'll find it on a Wikipedia. 211 00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:35,679 As a matter of fact, we're in real time. Let 212 00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:41,080 me just do a quick command, Fwald, he isn't here 213 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,879 one time. In Wikipedia, it says in a nineteen forty 214 00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:48,440 seven letter, Tans attorney Abe Waaldauer said that the prospective 215 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,399 adoptive couple had complete custody and control of the child 216 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,519 for one year. They may submit the child to a 217 00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:57,320 physical or mental examination. The wish totation any steps. If not, 218 00:15:57,399 --> 00:16:00,720 the Tennessee Children's Home takes it back without question. So 219 00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:07,480 her protector, her confidant, her legal arm was a Jewish guy. 220 00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:13,320 And again his name was Abe Waldauer, and he was 221 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,440 an assistant city attorney under Krump. He was Georgia Tann's 222 00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:22,480 personal attorney. He was appointed Collector of Customs for the 223 00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:32,919 Tennessee Arkansas District by FDR. This story reaches through obviously connections, 224 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,120 reaches the top of the food chain in the United 225 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,519 States of America. He also served as chairman of the 226 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:48,919 Tennessee Board of Elections. Again, he was implicated in the 227 00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:52,360 State of Tennessee investigation regarding the black market selling of 228 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,759 children by Georgia tan. The investigation claim that Boss Krump 229 00:16:56,799 --> 00:17:00,720 protected Georgia Tann by his political influence and Abe used 230 00:17:00,759 --> 00:17:13,000 his office to rewrite laws and protect criminal activities. I'm 231 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,440 just reading it here. A Baldour was also the longtime 232 00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:22,279 chairman of the board of Trustees, and he was also 233 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,119 chairman of the Memphis Jewish Welfare Fund and President of 234 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,039 the Jewish Welfare Fund. Okay, so the local and the 235 00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:37,680 big one got it. Charges were never filed against Waldour. 236 00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:43,359 So everyone either died or nothing to see here, right 237 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,079 rewriting laws to cover her tracks man and of course 238 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:54,160 she contributed generously to Boss Crump's campaigns. Juvenile Court Judge 239 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:59,440 Camille Kelly provided upwards of about twenty percent of all 240 00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:03,359 the children Georgia had, she would direct them her way. 241 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,759 So Judge Kelly would use the court to remove parental 242 00:18:05,839 --> 00:18:09,400 rights and to give George of the necessary documentation to 243 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,759 take children and place them as she wished. Later inquiries 244 00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:17,359 estimated that upward of five hundred children that were not 245 00:18:17,559 --> 00:18:24,440 quote easy to adopt died, mostly through starvation and neglect, 246 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,079 and in some cases many of the bodies have never 247 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,480 been found again. It's estimated that Tan made millions of 248 00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:35,559 dollars through trafficking children. Fees for her services ran between 249 00:18:35,599 --> 00:18:39,160 seven hundred and fifty dollars and five thousand dollars each 250 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,839 and again. Famous people who used her services, Joan Crawford, 251 00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:52,759 June Allison, actress Lanna Turner, obviously the parents of Rick Flair, 252 00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:57,359 Governor Herbert Lehman of New York, who again sealed birth 253 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,920 certificates Mobster Frank. I think the Enforcer Nitty and his 254 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,680 wife adopted their son Joseph from tam Even. Mary Tyler 255 00:19:08,759 --> 00:19:12,720 Moore actually won an Emmy for her portrayal of Tan 256 00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:15,920 in the television movie Stolen Babies in nineteen ninety three. 257 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,480 And again here's the thing. They say. She died of 258 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:23,400 cancer carsonosis, which is I guess in the uterus according 259 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,319 to doctor Alma Richards death certificate. I'll have to do 260 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,400 a background check on doctor Alma Richards again three days 261 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:39,960 before the files were charged. And here's her obituary. Services 262 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,079 for Miss Georgia ten who had headed the Memphis branch 263 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,960 of the Tennessee Children's Home Society for twenty six years, 264 00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:48,440 will be held at four pm today at the National 265 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,440 Funeral Home. The Reverend James Watston Watson Bardon, pastor of 266 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,559 Whitehaven Presbyterian Church, will officiate. Burial will be at Hickory, Mississippi, 267 00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:04,000 her former home, at thirty tomorrow. The veterans social worker 268 00:20:04,079 --> 00:20:06,640 died at her home at ninety one Stonewall at four 269 00:20:06,759 --> 00:20:11,400 twenty am yesterday, four to twenty April twentieth. Wow, that's interesting. 270 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,319 Yesterday after a long illness which had confined her to 271 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,359 bed since last Easter, which had become critical in the 272 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,480 past few days. She was fifty nine years old, and 273 00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:27,160 I get it, people aged differently back then. You look 274 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,839 at her pictures, she didn't look like she was in 275 00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:34,920 her seventies. But again, it's just all positive. She operated 276 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,039 the home since nineteen twenty four, which she had placed 277 00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:41,759 more than five thousand babies for adoption and was recognized 278 00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:46,960 as a national authority on adoption laws. These people, these monsters, 279 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,839 will go out of their way to protect each other. 280 00:20:53,519 --> 00:21:01,599 And it's so evil. It is just so evil. Moving along. 281 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:06,240 So again. Four years ago she estimated that up to 282 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,559 that time she had placed five thousand children for adoption, 283 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,519 and while she kept no record of of course, she 284 00:21:10,599 --> 00:21:15,039 kept no record of the total. Mistan was educated at 285 00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:19,119 Martha Washington College in Virginia and took social courses at 286 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:25,920 Columbia University for two summers. And I'm looking for the 287 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,640 important stuff because much of the thing, much of these 288 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,119 things we've talked about I did want to go back 289 00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:37,599 and read these articles in real time. And this is 290 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,519 from the Memphis Press skimatar and this is from September 291 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,519 of nineteen fifty. How it was written on that day. 292 00:21:45,559 --> 00:21:48,599 And I got this Adobe document. I'm blowing it up 293 00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:52,920 so I can read it. And again this is real time. 294 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,240 The headline on page one written by Clark Portius, who 295 00:21:58,319 --> 00:22:03,279 was a Press skimitar staff right, others figure in Tan case. 296 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:09,599 Taylor thinks reports suggests Confederates were behind this. Robert Taylor, 297 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,079 special counsel in the investigation of Shelby County Branch of 298 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,960 Tennessee Children's Society, said the late Miss Georgia Tan apparently 299 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,960 had Confederates in her scheme of what he calls illegal 300 00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:27,519 adoption practices. The charges made in Taylor's final report included 301 00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:31,160 with the report of Miss Valley Miller, State Supervisor of 302 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,480 Adoptions submitted to the Tennessee Welfare Commission to Governor Browning, 303 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,319 and the reports are in a ninety four page blue 304 00:22:39,319 --> 00:22:43,799 covered pamphlet on slick paper printed by Wimmer Brothers three 305 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,119 thirty seven, Madison. This is how they used to write 306 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:51,119 back that every detail was included. Taylor's report said the 307 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,400 operation was too large and too extensive and too detailed 308 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,799 to have been promoted by one person. She Mistan must 309 00:22:59,839 --> 00:23:06,079 have had stenographic assistants and advisors. So the state has 310 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,880 charged that Miss Tan, executive secretary of the Memphis Home 311 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:16,519 superintendent of the state organization, misappropriated nearly half a million 312 00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:19,240 dollars and suit has been filed to recover it from 313 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:24,759 her estate. So after she passed, the state took everything back. 314 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,960 Taylor's report said Misstan charged about seven to fifty per child, 315 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,759 with an actual cost of one hundred per adoption. Now 316 00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:38,000 the state charges this was done by having home employees 317 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:42,440 take several children to California or New York on one 318 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,160 plane trip and then charging each set of foster parents 319 00:23:46,319 --> 00:23:50,599 for a trip. Missus Miller, who operated the home after 320 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,440 the investigation started and until it closed, charged that records 321 00:23:55,519 --> 00:24:00,720 were falsified in order to make Jewish foster parents believed 322 00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:05,039 they were adopting Jewish children. And remember during that time, 323 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:12,640 Jewish people generally couldn't adopt Christian Obviously, of course, now 324 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,880 the church has been so infiltrated, it doesn't make any 325 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,240 difference whatsoever. But Miss Miller told him an inquiry from 326 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,119 a couple after she took over. They were from an 327 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,279 eastern city and had paid cost of delivery of the child. 328 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,920 The wife was so overwrought with anxiety she had to 329 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,880 consult psychiatrists. And that's how they wrote back then as well. 330 00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:38,640 My grandfather he died in a plane crash, and the 331 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,680 newspaper literally said in the article the Wilmington News Journal, 332 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,400 you know when they told my grandmother news, she fainted. 333 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,960 That's how they wrote back then. The records indicated this 334 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,079 Jewish couple were people of considerable means and maintained a 335 00:24:54,279 --> 00:24:58,759 high cultural and social standard of living. There was little 336 00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:01,519 information to indicate that their reasons for wishing to adopt 337 00:25:01,559 --> 00:25:06,880 a child, especially distance, or concerning their childlessness. The record 338 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,960 of the two month old infant scheduled to go to 339 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,680 this home was sketchy and contain no medical history or verifications. 340 00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:16,480 The record had been altered to give the child fictitious 341 00:25:16,599 --> 00:25:20,480 Jewish paternity to conform to the request and the story 342 00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:23,599 given to the adoptive parents. Missus Miller said forty one 343 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,200 children placed in homes of New York residents whose adoptions 344 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,200 are pending were placed with Jewish families, although verifications are incomplete, 345 00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:36,279 it appears that it will be impossible to establish from 346 00:25:36,319 --> 00:25:38,920 more than three or four of the children that there 347 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,920 is any Jewishness in their natural family heritage. While the 348 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:49,400 factor of religion as determinative above all others, this is 349 00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:54,440 how people were back then. While the factor of religion 350 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,720 as determinative above all others in the selection of an 351 00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:02,720 adoptive home may be quite es, especially when the natural 352 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,640 parent has expressed no preference and the child has no 353 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,480 religious training yet for no older children, the adjustment to 354 00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:13,240 very different culture standards can be a contributing factor to 355 00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:16,759 the child's lack of acceptance of his adoptive parents, with 356 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,240 resulting emotional disturbance. And I mean, this is just so evil, 357 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,079 and they understood it back then. It was more significant 358 00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:30,079 the stories seventy six years ago than understanding the religious 359 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,279 side of it than when you look at the Wikipedia, 360 00:26:32,319 --> 00:26:34,480 the vanilla side of it. They going to say. It 361 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,400 should be noted that the study of records thus far 362 00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:40,319 has revealed only two instances where maladjustment of children placed 363 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,519 in Jewish homes have been recognized. Like at that point 364 00:26:43,839 --> 00:26:46,039 that short period of time, they've done a full study, 365 00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:48,720 it's and then you know that goes on to talk 366 00:26:48,759 --> 00:26:54,279 about babies dying, the juvenile court, and of course the 367 00:26:54,599 --> 00:26:59,839 later involvement of that name right that we talked to. 368 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,799 And it was also I'm sure there was more people 369 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,759 in this, right, it was just the names that came out. 370 00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:13,640 There are always many, many more people, right, Judge Kelly, 371 00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:16,799 all these other people. There's one other story I found, 372 00:27:16,839 --> 00:27:21,000 and this would have been the Memphis This is called 373 00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:26,799 the commercial from Memphis, Tennessee, Saturday morning, September sixteenth, nineteen 374 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,359 fifty and the headline was capture in Sean or I'm sorry, allies, 375 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:37,400 capture in Sean Drive for Soul, powerful offensive launched from South. 376 00:27:37,559 --> 00:27:42,960 Congress approves martial appointment and then on the left side, 377 00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:46,799 investigating groups as foster parents paid duplicate fees, and it 378 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:54,079 just goes on about the baby sales and it's just horrific. 379 00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:59,079 I really encourage everyone to go get a subscription to 380 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,880 this newspapers and to go back and to see how 381 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,839 here's the thing I know, that's why I wanted to 382 00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:07,279 bring this article up. Bear with me, this is real time, 383 00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:10,920 and I've got paper clippings, digital paper clippings up and 384 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,440 some of them are easy to read. But they came 385 00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:16,799 up with a report and this reminds me of the 386 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:24,319 nine to eleven Commission and the Warren Commission. So executive 387 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,880 head of institution dies, the board will attempt to recover 388 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:33,000 funds to return to the source. A three man committee 389 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,160 of the Board of the Tennessee Children's Home Society here 390 00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:43,839 yesterday reported that Miss Georgia Tan of Tennessee, the society's 391 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,680 executive director, profited by collecting duplicate fees from foster parents. 392 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,079 The committee said Tan made her profits by charging we 393 00:28:52,119 --> 00:28:56,680 already talked about that report. Clear's board. That's the next 394 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,400 mini headline in the story. Are you ready? The report 395 00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:05,279 was released only a few hours after the death yesterday 396 00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:08,480 morning of the fifty nine year old welfare worker. Mistann 397 00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:12,200 died of cancer, unaware that she was even involved in 398 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:17,400 a scandal. The committee report said she profited without the 399 00:29:17,559 --> 00:29:22,119 knowledge or consent of the home or the directors, adding 400 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:28,119 that the money involved was paid directly to Mistan. The 401 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,200 report highlights several days of searching investigation into activities of 402 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,640 the agency by the Homes Board and state investigators. The 403 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,240 inquiry was touched off Monday night when Governor Browning said 404 00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:43,480 state agents told him that I can't tell if that's 405 00:29:43,519 --> 00:29:45,880 fifty or ninety because this paper the weight was scanned. 406 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,559 It looks like ninety percent of the baby's placed by 407 00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:53,839 the home were exported to New York and California in 408 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,599 the one million dollar baby black market. The Society's report 409 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,720 said that after a full investigation, we do not find 410 00:30:02,839 --> 00:30:07,240 any evidence whatsoever of the sale for adoption of any 411 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:13,200 child or children. It called upon Robert Taylor, Memphis attorney, 412 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,200 who was named special state investigator in the case, to 413 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,559 make all information he had regarding the charges available to 414 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,039 the board. It also promised that all efforts will be 415 00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:26,400 made to recover all the money and properly collected by 416 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,759 mistand and return the funds to the parents. The report 417 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,240 this is the giant asterisk before we sign off here. 418 00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:41,839 The report was signed by Abe Waldour attorney, John Brown, 419 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:47,720 United States District Attorney, and Dick Trippier business executive. All 420 00:30:47,759 --> 00:30:51,160 three are members of the Society's board. So Abe Waldeer, 421 00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:55,559 who played a large part in this, was part of 422 00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:03,839 the three man investigative committee. Your sub committee heretofore appointed 423 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,079 to make an investigation of the charges against the Tennessee 424 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,759 Children's home appearing in both Memphis newspaper beg leave to 425 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,720 make the following report. After full investigation, we do not 426 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,839 find any evidence whatsoever of the sale for adoption of 427 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,079 any child or children, but on the contrary, find that 428 00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:26,119 each and every adoption has been for the best interest 429 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,680 and welfare of the child. We do, however, find that 430 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,880 on occasions our executive Secretary Mistan, without the knowledge or 431 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,440 the consent of the home or the directors, has collected 432 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,319 from out the state foster parents more money for expensive 433 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,160 such as investigation services transportations than was warranted for proper 434 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,599 in that where special investigations or placements were to be 435 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,400 made in the same city, each foster parent was charged 436 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,480 the full fee for this investigation or transportation, whereas the 437 00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:04,240 expense should have been appointed among all the foster parents. 438 00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:08,160 This was wrong. This money was paid directly to Miss 439 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,279 Tan No part of the home. Neither the home nor 440 00:32:12,319 --> 00:32:16,240 any of its directors knew anything about this as wrong 441 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,519 and does not now condone or ratify it. And then 442 00:32:19,559 --> 00:32:21,640 they go on to say the home does not suffer 443 00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:26,440 the excess money collected you know, from the foster parents 444 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,680 by Miss Tann has explained herein has never come into 445 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,480 the possession of the home. It was just her nobody else, 446 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:40,440 and on it goes. And to see those three people 447 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,519 in charge of it, it's just like everything else in 448 00:32:42,559 --> 00:32:47,359 this world, whether it's Kennedy, the Apollo one right, even 449 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,519 the guy who tried to expose the Apollo one, right, 450 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,880 Gus Grisselm hangs the lemon, you know, he's how are 451 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,000 we going to go to the moon if we can't 452 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,480 even talk to a tower that's fifty yards away from us. 453 00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:01,920 And the next day all three die in a fire. 454 00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:06,200 And then there's a guy, an independent investigator. He finds 455 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,599 all kinds of inconsistencies. He writes like one hundred and 456 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,559 seventy five page letter to I don't remember it was 457 00:33:12,599 --> 00:33:15,839 Congress or who it was. And a couple of days later, 458 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,039 his car just stalls out on the train tracks and 459 00:33:19,119 --> 00:33:22,559 train hits his car, kills him, his wife, and his stepdaughter. 460 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,240 Just a coincidence, all these coincidences in the fifties and sixties. 461 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:32,240 But there you go, next level evil, next level cover up. 462 00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:37,400 And you know, in this case, many children could have 463 00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:40,759 grown up not knowing Jesus because of this evil and 464 00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:46,000 the depths of it. It's just brutal. So thanks for 465 00:33:46,039 --> 00:33:48,440 your time.
