Saga of drug overdose deaths of wealthy heirs to the Walgreen's fortune,demonstrate how child-slave abuse is JUST as destructive among the wealthy,sometimes more so,than among the poor
Joe1orbit
This item is two days old, but I feel that it provides some fine insights
into how your ultra-diseased, genocidally child-hating & dehumanizing society
chooses to operate, and so is worthy of our attention.
Over in Illinois, 31 year old Loren Walgreen died inside of a crack den, of
an overdose of illegal drugs, a few days ago. If the name WAlgreen seems
familiar, it's because Walgreen's is the name of one of amerikkka's BIGGEST
chains of drug stores, which generates BILLIONS of dollars in sales every year.
Loren was MARRIED to Tad Walgreen, the SON of the Chief Operating Officer of
Walgreen Drug Stores. That would make Tad a SERIOUS millionare, no doubt worth
tens, if not millions of dollars. And yet he died of a cocaine overdose three
years ago.
Below we get just a few of the details of the lives of these two VICTIMS of
your diseased society. It is ABSOLUTELY true that the rate of severe CHILD
ABUSE among the VERY rich, is almost as high as the rate among the VERY poor.
In a sane society, the Mandatory Parental Competency Tests that I have outlined
would be administered on a TOTALLY evenhanded manner, with no type of allowance
or CHANGE in the test criteria, being afforded to either the very poor or the
very rich.
It IS a lot EASIER for the very rich to HIDE their child-slave abuse from
all societal authorities, and that is because society CHOOSES to allow rich
people to IMPRISON their children in "private compounds", isolate them from
anyone who might be able to detect their brutalization, AND it also allows rich
people to INTIMIDATE everyone, such as maids or butlers, who might SEE the
abuse, and yet, knowing that their society does not care about children and
DEMONIZES any POOR person who dares to make a criminal or public accusation
against a rich person, feels COERCED into keeping the Sacred Family Unit
"secret" of abuse, a secret.
We learn below that Loren & Tad had two slaves of their own, and LOST custody
of them to Tad's DADDY and stepMommy. The VERY people who RAISED HIM up to be a
drug addict. During the 1996 custody fight, it was revealed that our Walgreen's
heirs and slaveowners were living in filth, with feces and soiled clothing on
the floor of their apartment, dirty pots and pans and a hole punched in the
wall. The judge ruled that Tad's WEALTHY Daddy & stepmom, who had in fact been
caring for the two slaves for 3+ YEARS already, should KEEP possession of them.
Daddy Tad was DECENT enough to legally give up his parental rights, but Loren
kept on fighting to get her slaves back. She was ARRESTED in 1997 for leaving
her THIRD slave, aged 2, that she was allowed to KEEP, home alone, while she
went to buy heroin, from someome who turned out to be an undercover cop. No
doubt she left the slave home alone DOZENS of times before, but only got CAUGHT
this time, because her drug-buying attempt resulted in an arrest.
Her lawyer has the audacity to blame the Walgreen family for going to court
to take away her parental rights. The FACT is, in reading the details of this
case, any SANE person realizes that the ENTIRE NOTION that any biological
creator, or ANY sacred family unit, no matter how RICH or RESPECTED it is,
should have ANY type of a BLOOD BOND right to POSSESS children, is PERVERSE and
outrageous. Tad's OWN parents were ABUSIVE, inferior, and incompetent. That is
why he became a suicidal, self-destructive adult. And yet those SAME parents
were GIVEN custody of Tad's sperm creations, when he proved himself to be
unable to even put up the PRETENSE of being capable of caring for children. In
a sane society, the ENTIRE notion that a "blood bond" worthy of being
acknowledged and honored by the legal system, when it comes to child custody,
would be ELIMINATED. There is NO valid reason why ANY sort of favoratism should
be shown to CLOSE family members of biological creators who have LOST custody
of their children. In fact, CLOSE family members are MORE LIKELY to be
INCOMPETENT/EVIL, especially if they have RAISED the person who lost custody.
The STRICTEST of Mandatory Parental Competency Tests, should be imposed upon
ALL blood relatives who express an interest in gaining custody of children.
And of course the OUTRAGEOUS nature of Mommy Loren being allowed to KEEP her
third slave, for YEARS, despite her PROVEN and ONGOING history of ILLEGAL,
CRIMINAL, child abusing activity, goes without saying.
The notion that Loren was "driven to kill herself by the unbearable loss of
her children", is derived from the RIDICULOUS initial supposition that all
biological creators DESERVE and DESIRE to possess their offspring. It MIGHT be
TRUE, but if so, that would be because Loren's society had TAUGHT and TOLD her
that her most SACRED OBLIGATION as a human being, is to ACCEPT possession of,
and SERVE as Mommy to, her womb excretions. If only the SANE message was given
to all citizen-slaves, that they do NOT have any obligation to serve as parents
and in fact would be MORALLY PRAISED for having the courage and selflessness to
REJECT their parental rights, very few Mommies or Daddies would suffer
"unbearable pain" over the loss of their children. The REAL CAUSE of the
unbearable pain, is the feeling of being a COMPLETE and PROFOUND FAILURE, that
society CHOOSES to impose upon every parent who "loses" their slave(s), as a
way to COERCE every parent into FIGHTING to retain custody, with NO regard for
whether the parent is COMPETENT or CAPABLE of meeting the needs of their
excreted child-slave.
Very simply: The REASON why Loren felt she HAD to get possession of her womb
excretions had NOTHING to do with love, or a "maternal instinct". She felt that
way because HER SOCIETY chose to TELL her, to DRILL into her mind, that she was
a worthless piece of human garbage, a complete failure as a human being, for
having allowed herself to LOSE possession of her slaves, and not to fulfill the
"maternal obligations" that society CHOOSES to impose upon EVERY womb excretor.
Take care, JOE

Walgreen Widow Dies at Drug House
By MARTHA IRVINE
CHICAGO (AP) - If not for her famous last name, few would have noticed the
death of a young woman found slumped over at a dining room table at a drug
house on Chicago's West Side.
Even her last name was, in fact, hers only by marriage.
By many accounts, Loren Walgreen was a smart and engaging woman in her best
moments. At her worst, she was a junkie haunted by depression.
And according to friends and defenders, she was no match for the power and
influence of the family that owns America's largest drugstore chain.
In the end, her death resembled that of her estranged husband, Tad Walgreen,
son of Walgreen Co.'s retired chief executive. Walgreen - who met Loren while
both were in rehab in 1988 - died three years ago of a cocaine overdose. He was
36.
Loren Walgreen was 31 when she died last week in a basement apartment where she
had been hanging out with friends. For police - who had seen her at that
apartment before - it was all too familiar a scenario.
``It's a sad situation,'' said police Cmdr. Gerard Mahnke, who is still
awaiting toxicology reports but suspects an overdose. ``I mean, here's a girl
who could've had everything in her life.''
It's not that Tad and Loren Walgreen were ever wealthy. Tad, the second of
three sons from retired CEO Charles ``Cork'' Walgreen's first marriage, grew up
in relatively modest surroundings with his mother.
Meanwhile, Loren's mother struggled to raise her two children in suburban
Lincolnwood after their father died when Loren was 10.
In their adult years, Tad and Loren Walgreen had drug problems that came to
light in 1992, when Tad was sent to prison for 18 months for driving under the
influence with a revoked license.
The most sordid details would, however, become public in 1996 in a custody
battle for their two young children against Tad's father and stepmother, who
contended Tad and Loren Walgreen were unfit parents.
According to testimony, the couple were living in filth, with feces and soiled
clothing on the floor of their apartment, dirty pots and pans and a hole
punched in the wall.
A judge threw out the elder Walgreens' attempt to adopt their grandchildren.
But he did allow them to keep the two children - Alex, now 10, and Brooke, now
9 - since they had been caring for them since 1993.
Shortly before his death, Tad signed away his parental rights. But Loren
Walgreen continued to fight, even as she was arrested in 1997 for leaving
unattended her third child - a 2-year-old boy fathered by her boyfriend - while
she tried to buy heroin from an undercover police officer.
She gave up her custody fight a year later - six months before she pleaded
guilty to offering sex for $40 to two undercover sheriff's officers.
Her last run-in with the law came in March of this year, when she admitted
having a small amount of cocaine in jail while being held for breaking curfew.
``When Loren was well, she could hang out with anybody. You could take her to
the best restaurants in town,'' said Alan Toback, her lawyer in the custody
battle. ``But when that chronic depression struck, it got bad.''
Still, he said the Walgreen family went too far in trying to terminate her
parental rights - especially since she never disagreed that her eldest two
children were better off with their grandparents.
Cork and Kathy Walgreen, who live in the well-to-do Chicago suburb of Lake
Forest, issued a statement saying: ``Through years of our trying to help Loren
overcome her addictions, in the end, sadly, these drugs were more powerful. We
pray now, that she has found peace.''
Those words angered Toback.
``Even in her death they're still disingenuous,'' Toback said. ``Clearly, I
believe they are sad - because they would be inhuman if they weren't sad - but
to the best of my recollection, they did nothing to help with her addiction to
drugs.''
At her funeral Friday at a Jewish chapel, Rabbi Victor Weissberg did not deny
Loren Walgreen's problems - ``the monkey on her back,'' he called them.
``There were a lot of people who tormented her,'' the rabbi said, telling how
the Walgreen family had young Alex and Brooke baptized in a Christian church
without informing their mother beforehand.
Her longtime boyfriend, Dennis Clinton, who shared a house with Loren and their
son in suburban Melrose Park, said she was particularly distraught in the week
before her death over the prospect of spending another holiday without her two
older children.
``Loren was not the street trash that the Walgreens make her out to be,''
Clinton said. ``She was a very dedicated mother who was very troubled and who
was pushed beyond the limits by money and power.''

Pain over lost kids crushed Walgreen
December 19, 1999
BY JOHN CARPENTER STAFF REPORTER
It was Nov. 26, 1996, and Loren Walgreen had just won a shocking legal victory,
stopping her in-laws from adopting her two children.
She went out that night and got high on cocaine.
It's yet another sad detail in the even sadder story of the troubled
ex-drugstore heiress, who was found dead at age 31 in a West Side drug house
Tuesday.
The man who shared the story is Dennis Clinton, a former truck driver and
Walgreen's longtime boyfriend.
The world knows the Loren Walgreen who lost custody of her two children to
their grandparents because of her drug problems. People who follow the news
know that she had been arrested many times since she lost contact with the
children.
What the world doesn't know, Clinton insists, is that Walgreen was a good
mother to a third child--a bright, happy 4-year-old named David, Clinton's son
with her.
"She had a drug problem, a serious drug problem," he said. "But it wasn't all
the time."
"We have a son. He's 4 1/2 years old, and he can work a computer," he said.
"He's smart. He's happy. So did she destroy his life? Did someone need to take
him away from her to save him? No."
Charles and Kathleen Walgreen, who are now raising the two children Loren had
with Tad Walgreen--who died of a drug overdose in 1996--believe they did have
to step in to save the children. And, according to an interview Kathleen gave
to the Sun-Times last week, they tried to help the children's mother.
Clinton does not agree. And his bitterness toward the billionaire couple is
unbridled. He said his girlfriend's drug problems became much more severe after
she lost custody of the children. Mostly, though, he wants people to know that
the story is not so simple.
Walgreen had been off illegal drugs for more than a year at the time of the
highly publicized adoption trial, Clinton said.
During the trial, doctors testified about Walgreen's mental illness and drug
problems. She had suffered from depression and been in and out of psychiatric
hospitals since age 14. One doctor testified that he was surprised she could
get up each day, Clinton recalled.
"She was getting up every morning, feeding our son and getting him dressed,
driving him to a baby-sitter, getting on the L downtown to sit at the trial for
eight hours, taking the train back, picking him up and coming home and cooking
dinner," Clinton said.
Then came the verdict, which declared that the adoption of Walgreen's two
children with Tad by their grandparents would have violated Loren's
constitutional rights.
She had won, but the victory didn't win her custody. "Even after she won, she
still couldn't get custody," Clinton said. "She went out that night with a
girlfriend and came home and told me she had used cocaine.
"Things got worse from that time on."
Walgreen's brushes with the law since losing custody of her two children are
well-documented--more than a dozen arrests, mostly for drug possession but also
including prostitution. After many probation violations she was jailed for
several months and was released in September.
Clinton said her drug problem was serious but not an everyday problem. "She'd
be fine for a week or two, maybe a month, then she'd go off for two or three
days and get totally wasted. She'd disappear," he said.
"When it got to where she was thinking about the kids [the two she lost custody
of] then she would go off. When she went off like that, she would go off to the
maximum."
Clinton said Walgreen eventually came around to the idea that her two children
with Tad were better off with their grandparents. But he said she wanted to be
part of their lives, at least through visits.
Kathleen Walgreen said she would have granted Loren visitation rights if she
could have stayed clean and sober for a year. She could not.
Neighbors of Clinton's in unincorporated Melrose Park said police were often
called there, mostly for arguments. Clinton acknowledged this and said any
fights they had were over her drugs.
"Her drug use was our biggest problem," he said. "It was our only problem."
Clinton maintains that Walgreen's drug use was a form of drawn-out suicide over
the loss of her first two children. He argued the same was true of Tad, whose
death was ruled an accidental drug overdose.
"Neither one of them died of drug overdoses," Clinton said. "They died of
broken hearts and suicide."
Clinton and Walgreen talked over breakfast Monday morning. She had been off
drugs since September.
"Prison scared her," he said. "She was determined never to go back to prison
again."
But she was despondent at the prospects of not being able to see the two
children over the holiday season, he said.
"She said she couldn't stand to go through another holiday season without being
able to see or even talk to those children," he said. "I told her she had to
stay strong, stay off the stuff."
About 3:30 p.m. Clinton got a call from Walgreen at the tavern he owns. Police
say she already had been at the West Side drug house for several hours. But she
told him she was still shopping in Evanston and asked him to pick up their son
from school.
"She sounded as straight as an arrow, but I knew there might be a problem,"
Clinton said.
That was the last time she talked to him.
Police said she spent several hours in a basement apartment at 43 N. Menard, a
house where she and others had been arrested for drugs before.
During the evening, she slumped over in her chair; others thought she had
passed out. By 1:45 a.m. Tuesday, they could not wake her and an ambulance was
called. She was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
"She never hurt anybody but herself," Clinton said. "Granted, she was her own
worst enemy."

Sun-Times newspaper:
Penthouse to basement
December 15, 1999
Three years after she strode defiantly into a Cook County courtroom to
fight--clean and sober--for custody of her two children, Loren Walgreen slumped
over a table in a seamy West Side drug house and died.
A life headed for the fast lane with her 1988 marriage to an heir of the $18
billion drugstore fortune had long since plunged into society's dim-lit alleys
when Walgreen, 31, apparently got high for the last time Monday afternoon. She
was pronounced dead early Tuesday morning.
Found in a known drug house where she had been arrested on drug charges before,
police say they believe her death was drug related, though they are awaiting
toxicology tests from the Cook County medical examiner.
If those tests show Walgreen overdosed on drugs, it would be an unsurprising
end to a life spent in and out of jails, prison, drug rehab centers and the
public eye.
"Drugs and depression is a very nasty combination," said Alan Toback, her
former lawyer.
"I loved my daughter," said Walgreen's mother, Patricia Goldbortin. "I didn't
always agree with what she did, but I loved her . . . My heart is broken."
Loren Goldbortin grew up in Lincolnwood where her mother said she loved sports
and was "a normal girl." She was 10 and riding inside her father's car when he
died of a heart attack behind the wheel, Goldbortin said.
Walgreen was hospitalized for psychiatric problems for the first time at age
14, according to Toback. Goldbortin said her daughter went on to graduate from
Niles West High School and studied briefly at Kendall College in Evanston.
"She wanted to be a social worker," Goldbortin said.
Loren Goldbortin was 20 years old and already in drug rehab in 1988, when she
met a fellow patient named Tad Walgreen. He was the wayward son of a drugstore
mogul and they began dating. They were married Nov. 5 that year, after she
became pregnant, according to John Pasulka, Tad Walgreen's former attorney.
Though they had two children, neither could lick their drug problems. And by
1993 Tad was in prison and Loren once again was in rehab.
At first Loren's mother cared for the children, with financial help from
Charles and Kathleen Walgreen, the children's grandparents. When the wealthy
Lake Forest couple became concerned about the care the children were receiving,
they gained custody of them after a nanny testified the situation was
unhealthy.
By May 1996, Loren was proclaiming herself clean and sober for more than a
year, and a highly publicized court fight over the children was under way.
In the middle of the trial, Tad Walgreen--who had divorced Loren and already
agreed to give up custody of the children--died of a drug overdose.
Loren, however, won the first round of her legal fight with her former in-laws,
after a Cook County judge ruled the adoption would have violated her
constitutional rights. The grandparents retained custody during the legal
appeals, however, and Walgreen appeared to slip back into her drug-using ways.
She was arrested in May 1997 after she left her 2-year-old son--not one of her
children with Tad Walgreen--unattended while she tried to buy heroin from an
undercover Chicago Police officer. She was sentenced to 18 months probation,
180 days of home confinement and ordered to seek counseling.
Walgreen was arrested 13 times between 1993 and her death, including arrests
for possession of cocaine and heroin, and a case in which she offered sex to
two undercover police officers in return for $40.
By March of this year, after several probation violations, she was sentenced to
one year in prison. She was released in September.
For most of this time Walgreen lived in unincorporated Melrose Park with a
boyfriend, with whom she had a child. Ray Blaha, who lives across the street,
said there often were domestic disputes.
Toback said Walgreen's boyfriend, a former truck driver, was "straight as an
arrow."
Walgreen settled her legal dispute with her former in-laws in May of last year,
accepting a settlement of about $750,000 to give up her parental rights.
Almost immediately after she relinquished control, however, she filed suit to
regain custody, Toback said.
The cash windfall didn't keep Walgreen out of trouble.
Police say Walgreen showed up at the basement apartment at 43 N. Menard at
about 2 p.m. Monday, a house where she'd been arrested on drug charges before,
on a street lined with boarded buildings.
Residents of the house who called police when they couldn't awaken Walgreen
said the last time they saw her awake was at 8 p.m., playing cards. They
thought she fell asleep and didn't call police until 1:45 a.m.
After an ambulance and police arrived, police Cmdr. Gerard Mahnke said Walgreen
had "been dead for quite some time."
***
Death comes as no surprise to former in-laws
The nightmare of Loren Walgreen's life is over.
And for Kathy and Charles "Cork" Walgreen, who adopted Loren's two children two
years ago after a long court fight, it was not a surprise.
"So much is over now," said Kathy Walgreen in an exclusive interview with the
Sun-Times. "Loren's suffering, the children's fears, the court battles. Drugs
abruptly ended it all. But it was expected."
The multimillion-dollar custody battle, which began in March 1993, was heading
for an Appellate Court hearing next month.
"Loren changed her mind after signing the adoption papers and decided she
wanted the children back," said Walgreen, who lives with her family and Loren's
son, 11, and daughter, 9, at their compound in Florida.
However, Loren Walgreen, who received $750,000 when she signed the adoption
papers, was willing to forgo the Appellate Court battle for an additional
$500,000, court records show.
Last year, Kathy Walgreen was stunned when her grandson took her aside for a
private question.
"It was after Loren's last drug arrest and he asked me if his mother was dead.
I was stunned. I said, `No, honey. Why do you ask?' He said, `Because the kids
in school are talking about what happened. Please promise me you'll tell me if
it happens.' "
Tuesday morning, Walgreen had to tell her grandson it had.
"I told him his mother loved him and his sister very much and wanted to take
care of them . . . but she couldn't take care of herself. She wanted to be a
good mother, but drugs overpowered her . . . and now she is at peace with your
dad [Cork Walgreen's son Tad Walgreen, who also died of a drug overdose] and
can finally be happy."
Walgreen claims the children hadn't seen their mother for almost three years.
"I told Loren that if she could stay off drugs for one year and prove it, she
could see the children," she said. "But she couldn't stay off them. She had
such potential. It's so sad."

I don't agree with you. The maternal instinct has nothing to do with
our society. It is found everywhere in Nature and is not specific to
the human beings.

Hello,
I don't expect you. or any other human, to agree. After all, you have been
MALICIOUSLY COERCED and brainwashed since you were a baby, to accept the
INVALID notion that you, when you become an adult citizen-slave, will possess a
maternal or parernal instinct, and if you do not FEEL such an "instinct", you
must PRETEND that you do, or be negatively judged and condemned as an
abnornal, inferior, freak, at BEST.
>The maternal instinct has nothing to do with

Human beings are GENETICALLY FLAWED. The genetic flaws make them DIFFERENT
from other animals. The ADDITION of HIGH INTELLIGENCE, combined with the
genetic flaws, is what makes the maternal instinct INVALID, among the human
race.
> It is found everywhere in Nature and is not specific to
>the human beings.
Human beings are different from all other "natural" life forms. Human beings
have CHOSEN to adopt and embrace an ARTIFICIAL, lie-based perception of
reality, and this is because their high intelligence renders them UNABLE to
COPE with or accept the HORRIFIC Truths that their intellectual minds are
capable of realizing.
The maternal instincy RELIES upon PURITY of thought, value for TRUTH,
character traits that ANIMALS possess, but humans, as a species, do not. Which
is of course not to say that NO female human possesses any type of a legitimate
maternal instinct. Some do. That has no bearing upon the validity of my posted
insights of Truth.
Take care, JOE
