Intro by Dr.G.:
Our geo-political news coverage is providing insights into how the world economic system is breaking into a new phase of the Cold War between the USA/EU vs. the EEU/SCO. There is an agenda in the various domestic security agencies of the USA, both public and private, to consider all acts of domestic dissent as hostile acts of war. Lately there are troubling examples of classifying certain "leftist" groups as assets of foreign agencies, and in some cases it is true currently or historically. But to brush the paint across a wide spectrum of the so-called "left" is to lay-down the justification for all actions against dissenters. Even stateless "Anarchists" who hold affinity for the non-state democracy in Rojava are suspect as foreign collaborators, as the jurisdiction of Rojava is technically under the administration of the Republic of Syria, an ally of the Federation of Russia, and classified as an "enemy" by the USA.This week we bring you an exclusive report on the pandemic that’s infecting the globe. Insurrecto-Riotosis. The first wave of the pandemic was reported in the city of Nantes in France following the police murder of 21 year old eco-defender Rémi Fraisse [Rabble.org.uk link] [archive.today]. This contagion quickly spread to Belgium where 100,000 peeps hit the streets in Brussels to show their anger to a proposed package of austerity cuts [RT.com link] [archive.today]. In Mexico, insurrecto-riotisis is quickly turning into a full-fledged pandemic, as protests demanding the safe return of 43 students kidnapped on September 26th continue to escalate dramatically [AnarchistNews.org link] [archive.today].

* "Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy" book, pg 275, [begin excerpt]: Another overlooked aspect of Kennedy's attempt to reform American society involves money. Kennedy apparently reasoned that by returning to the Constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest. He moved in this area on June 4, 1963, by signing Executive Order 11110 which called for the issuance of $4,292,893,815 in United States Notes through the U.S. Treasury rather than the traditional Federal Reserve System. That same day, Kennedy signed a bill changing the backing one- and two-dollar bills from silver to gold, adding strength to the weakened U.S. currency. Kennedy's comptroller of the currency, James L. Saxon, had been at odds with the powerful Federal Board for some time, encouraging broader investment and lending powers for banks that were not part of the Federal Reserve System. Saxon also had decided that non-Reserve banks could underwrite state and local general obligation bonds, again weakening the dominant Federal Reserve banks. [end excerpt]

Fascism in the itty-bitty city of Santa Cruz!
The following articles describe the extent of political domination currently seen in this city, a problem which resembles what is happening in cities across the USA...
"Santa Cruz ignoring state law to hide SCPD threw City Council election against Leonie Sherman and Bruce Van Allen", 2014-11-21 message from Dr. John Colby to Bren Lehr, Santa Cruz City Clerk Administrator:
Dear Ms. Lehr,yYou have been ignoring my California Public Records Act (CPRA) request from October 26th, 2014 and then again on November 13th, 2014 to determine the details of Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) Deputy Chief Steve Clark potentially throwing the recent City Council election to David Terrazas and Richelle Noroyan by libeling candidate Leonie Sherman as a dangerous anarchist who promotes violence.
Before the recent November 4th, 2014 election, the Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) interfered in the electoral process: by attacking candidates, by endorsing candidates and by giving preferential treatment to candidates supported by domestic hate group Take Back Santa Cruz (whose members have been waging a hate campaign against me, my sister Patricia Colby, disabled homeless people and other advocates for disabled homeless people).

As I wrote in my CPRA request dated October 26th, 2014 and again on October 13th, 2014, I don’t believe law enforcement officers should interfere in Santa Cruz politics.
SCPD Deputy Chief Steve Clark exploited the media to perpetrate a deplorable attack on City Council candidate Leonie Sherman. Then the SCPD put out a media release about endorsing certain candidates, thus promoting SCPD propaganda.
It appears that City Council candidates Leonie Sherman and Bruce Van Allen’s likely defeat was due to Clark’s character assassination which Take Back Santa Cruz (TBSC) hate mongers amplified on the Internet and in numerous letters to the editor.
There must be a new election for City Council because Clark’s attacks tainted the results of the last one — delegitimizing the electoral process — potentially tipping the election against Leonie Sherman and Bruce Van Allen
Clark’s attack was coordinated with members of domestic hate group TBSC, suggesting collusion between SCPD leadership and this group.

2014-11-20 from Pat Colby:
I was stalked by a TBSC member who trespassed onto my porch, illegally video taped me, pushed my door into my face when I tried to close it and tried to get into my apt!
The details: I was asleep. It was about 12:45. I heard a knock on my door. I got up to check it out. I asked who it was. The person said Eileen. So I opened the door a little. I am confronted by a woman 30-40's with mouse brown hair with a digital camera video taping me. She says she wants to ask me some questions. She said "I want to ask you why you are stalking TBSC on FB." I go to shut the door. She forcibly pushes it back. it hits me in the face. She blocks me from shutting the door with her foot in doorway as if to force her way into my home. Finally I get the door shut and immediately call the police to report her. The officer listens and then says he going to give me an incident report. I say no I demand a crime report this is illegal stalking. I get a crime report.
If I had done this to a TBSC member they would have demanded I be arrested. They would have freaked out if I was even on the public sidewalk in front of their house. Some TBSC members are getting really whacko. Stalking a person to their home because they advocate for homeless and poor. Stalking a person to their home because they don't agree with TBSC's agenda and opinion.
This is clearly a terror campaign to try to intimidate and terrorize me. She (they) are trying to silence me and take away my free speech rights! This crime incident is going to be sent to my senators, the FBI, the DOJ, 40 national media outlets and numerous other government and protective agencies. It time TBSC members stalking of me and my brother are stopped. It is time that the criminal members of TBSC group get prosecuted instead of allowed to freely stalk and terrorize citizens of Santa Cruz whom disagree with them.

"FREEDOM OF INFORMATION request about Col. Ed Lesnowicz", 2014-10-25 from Dr. John Colby to the Staff Judge Advocate, and Information & Privacy Coordinator, [FOIA@) nps.edu] at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) at Monterey, CA:
Dear Information and Privacy Coordinator,
My sister Patricia Colby and I are being gang stalked — based upon gender, (perceived) sexual orientation, (perceived) disabilities and to retaliate for our advocacy for (disabled) homeless people — by Take Back Santa Cruz (TBSC) members. I will advocate for the federal government to classify TBSC as a domestic hate group. This hate fueled gang stalking has been carried out under the leadership of your Field Operations Director’s daughter Analicia Cube AKA Analicia Lesnowicz. Please reference the following links:
Confidential sources informed me that Colonel Ed Lesnowicz has helped plan TBSC operations using skills and methodology learned from his military (intelligence) career. The U.S. Senate has been alerted to TBSC's hate bias motivated gang stalking. I don’t believe they know your Field Operations Director might be involved.
To determine the nature of Colonel Lesnowicz’s skills and methodology, I am submitting a FREEDOM OF INFORMATION request under 5 U.S.C. §552 (commonly known as the FOIA). Pursuant to the FOIA I ask for the following:
• bios maintained by the NPS about Col. Ed Lesnowicz.
• Col. Ed Lesnowicz’s resumes maintained by NPS
• summary reports of operations involving Col. Ed Lesnowicz.
• (research) papers and (case) reports authored by Col. Ed Lesnowicz
• the most current description of job duties for Col. Ed Lesnowicz
• all emails between Col. Ed Lesnowicz, and any official, employee, board, council, agency, department, division, commission and committee of the City/County of Santa Cruz.
• all emails between Col. Ed Lesnowicz and any officials, employees, volunteers and agents of non–governmental organizations located within the County of Santa Cruz.

"SCPD retaliated against our 'cop-watching' for my Gorilla Advocacy", 2014-10-04 message from Dr. John Colby to Santa Cruz Police Department Chief Kein Vogel:
I am petitioning you to serve the public by sanctioning your officers who interfere with "cop-watchers". As you know, "cop-watching" has proliferated, influenced by the tragic events in Ferguson, Missouri, and locally in Salinas, California. In response, police have reacted by trying to shutdown "cop-watching". Relevant links [http://tinyurl.com/n5rqygo] [http://tinyurl.com/k3xswkj].
"Police are less inclined to hurt people when they know they're being videotaped," Crawford, 36, told a group of volunteers undergoing training in one of the apartments Sunday. "Keep it with you. It's your self-defense tool." [http://tinyurl.com/mwayzsb]
This morning my sister and I video recorded an incident in the Downtown where about five Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) officers were arresting a seated man who was handcuffed. We will upload these videos to Youtube, to share with the media and the federal government.
During our video recording, SCPD sergeant Christian LeMoss placed himself between us and the arrest, trying to initiate a conversation with us. I told him I didn't wanr to speak with him.
But LeMoss insisted on engaging us. He asked us why we were "cop-watching". He made implications, trying to invalidate us. He said that I called the police every day — this is a false claim made by Mission Gardens Apartments (MGA) stalker Robin Jansen and her Take Back Santa Cruz (TBSC) friends who have been (cyber)staking us in retaliation for our homeless advocacy. When I pointed out this was false he changed tact, saying that I frequently call the police. I asked LeMoss if any of my calls to the police had been frivolous. He replied "no". I asked him why he was saying this then. My sister gave an example of an aggressive man whom she called in yesterday as a potential 5150, fearing he would assault someone. She asked if she was wrong to call in about that. He replied "no". This represents a culture of callous disregard by the SCPD for the safety of law abiding citizens by your supervising officers who sometimes tried to dissuade us from reporting MGA criminals (to protect them). LeMoss asked us if we (brother and sister) were married — a false claim made by MGA stalker Robin Jansen and her TBSC friends who have been (cyber)stalking us. LeMoss began video recording us with his smartphone from a distance of about three feet. I asked him why he was video recording us. LeMoss replied because we were video recording him. LeMoss continued to try to invalidate us.
- Point: we risked our lives to help clean up the MGA criminals, aiding the SCPD by serving as witnesses to the Carl Reimer murder there, yet your officers — like LeMoss — continue to disrespect and mistreat us.
- Question: when will the SCPD begin serving and protecting us?
The SCPD seems to hate us because of my Gorilla Advocacy with the U.S. Senate, the FBI, the U.S. Department of Justice and now the Department of Transportation about criminal acts by you and your subordinates.
- Request: educate Sergeant LeMoss about treating "cop-watchers" with respect and dignity, about protecting and serving them, not mistreating them.
- Request: under the California Public Records Act (CPRA), I ask for the video recordings Sergeant LeMoss (and other SCPD officers) took of us today. I am willing to pay a fee of up to $5 for this request. If the cost will exceed that, please contact me first before completing it. I ask that the recordings be provided to me in a standard video format so that I can upload them to Youtube, then share them with the media and the federal government.
Thank you for showing that the SCPD will stop retaliating against us for my Gorilla Advocacy with the federal government by calling out crimes by you and your subordinates.

No Ferguson in Santa Cruz!
STOP LOCAL RACIAL AND CLASS PROFILING, ATTACKS ON THE POOR & HOMELESS!
* Police abuse against poor and homeless persons is a widespread reality, empowered by laws that criminalize basic human needs and rights—like sleeping at night & public assembly.
* New laws coming to City Council will criminalize homeless with cop-initiated Stay-Away orders & ban RV parking city-wide. [http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/11/24/18764553.php]
* Recycling centers and needle exchange have already been removed from Santa Cruz City Limits as the new “brand the homeless as criminals” campaign has taken hold.
* Nearly three of every four of Officer Bradly Barnett's citations made downtown were issued to homeless people for essentially victimless crimes, such as sitting, smoking, and skateboarding. [http://www.indybay.org/uploads/2014/10/21/barnett_cites_--homeless.pdf]
* Officer Bill Azua confronted Jasmine Byron & her mother at last year's Thanksgiving Salvation Army meal with a drawn gun for “taking a plate of food outside”. No response from Chief Kevin Vogel of the SCPD. [http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/11/29/18746999.php]
* Officer Arnold Vasquez dropped a handcuffed Richard Hardy to the sidewalk face-first on Pacific Avenue in a video picked up by the Sentinel ([http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/ci_23185274/use-force-investigation-not-complete-videotaped-arrest-santa]) [http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/04/23/18735710.php] )
ATTACKS ON AFRICAN-AMERICANS
* Additionally, nearly 10% of the citations Barnett issued were to African-Americans, in a county where 1.4% of the population is black according to a recent census. [http://www.indybay.org/uploads/2014/10/21/barnett_cites_including_race.pdf]
* Yannidies Brown reports her brother and cousin were brutalized and jailed in another “no smoking or else” Barnett incident. [http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/08/21/18760436.php]
* Officer Azua has been videoed harassing blacks for “smoking on Pacific” while ignoring whites doing the same thing. [http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/08/02/18759451.php]
REAL SOLUTIONS AND VAIN HOPES
* The local ACLU, NAACP, and SCCCCR have named no names, nor acted on any specific complaints in the last decade in spite of the widespread awareness among the black community that racial profiling is a humiliating reality here.
* Police-partial “review” boards, co-opted city council committees, & “law and order” neighborhood organizations will do nothing but support more “tools” for cops.
* Frequent Street Protest, Sit-in's, & Occupations may help deter police violence-as-usual.
Real tools are the camera, the internet, the press, and our own voices !
Video, audio, and post incidents on line when you see them!
Stop and make time to hold police accountable. No one else will.

With the pending grand jury decision in the Michael Brown murder in Ferguson, MO, The Soapbox is replaying a show we did with four extraordinary people whose lives were devastated and changed when a loved one was murdered by cops. Learn about their stories, the stories of their loved ones and the inspiring heart-connection they have made to do something that I know is not easy. None of us asked for "this," let's hear stories that are so difficult to hear, but even harder to tell.
BIOS AND RELEVANT LINKS:
* Christina Arechiga – Sacramento, CA– Prison right activist for over 15 years then changed focus to police brutality when her first cousin Ernest Duenez Jr was murdered by John Moody of the Manteca PD. Now works full time as a private investigator and in the CA Statewide Coalition Against Police Brutality for all families who have been victims of law enforcement corruption and working on changing procedures and laws allowing such corruption.
* Rosemary Duenez – Lathrop, CA – a mother and grandmother whose son Ernest Duenez Jr. was murdered by John Moody of the Manteca PD on June 8, 2011 – Ernest 34 yrs old was a father of an 11 month old son at the time, the Duenez family maintains weekly Sunday protests at the Manteca PD and is actively working with the CA Statewide Coalition Against Police Brutality. They fought to have the dash cam video released to them and they in turn released to the public in their fight for justice. Their civil case is currently in the federal courts in Sacramento, Ca and trial will begin in early 2014. The officer was cleared by the DA’s office but the family maintains an ongoing investigation and continues to put pressure on law enforcement to be accountable and file murder charges. You can view the video here: [youtube.com/watch?v=LhnY17F_eiQ]
* Denika Chatman – Vallejo, Ca – mother of Kenneth Harding 19 years of age was murdered on July 16, 2011 by San Francisco Police and then left to bleed out while medical personal was not allowed through police barricade – she moved her family back to California from Seattle to fight for justice for her son and holds monthly feeds for the homeless in the spot that still is stained with the blood of her son. Aka the Kenny Feeds held by the Kenneth Harding Foundation – they have recently been blessed with a new location in a church to continue their work. She is currently in a civil trial.
You can view the video here: [youtube.com/watch?v=7K9RS34WG7M]
* Cephus Johnson aka “uncle bobby”– uncle of Oscar Grant murdered by Johannes Mehserle on a BART platform in Oakland, works nationally to organize and unite families who have been affected by the injustice system, their story is on screens nationwide in the film FRUITVALE STATION – you can read reviews here: [facebook.com/FruitvaleStationMovie]
Manteca City Police Department Chief Nick Obligacion, mastermind of the ordinance that banned homeless from setting up shelter -even on PRIVATE property, with permission of owner!
Jennifer Friedenbach is the Executive Director for the Coalition on Homelessness in San Francisco. Concerned with the abuse of brushing homeless people out of BART and into the damp curbs of SF, Friedenbach offers a solution that officials are just not investing enough into...even though it is more cost-effective.

* The local ACLU, NAACP, and SCCCCR have named no names, nor acted on any specific complaints in the last decade in spite of the widespread awareness among the black community that racial profiling is a humiliating reality here.
* Police-partial “review” boards, co-opted city council committees, & “law and order” neighborhood organizations will do nothing but support more “tools” for cops.
* Frequent Street Protest, Sit-in's, & Occupations may help deter police violence-as-usual.
Real tools are the camera, the internet, the press, and our own voices !
Video, audio, and post incidents on line when you see them!
Stop and make time to hold police accountable. No one else will.

THE STARK REALITY OF POLICE BRUTALITY,
2014-11-23 from CINDY SHEEHAN'S SOAPBOX,
more links and content at [archive.today/loqyM].
With the pending grand jury decision in the Michael Brown murder in Ferguson, MO, The Soapbox is replaying a show we did with four extraordinary people whose lives were devastated and changed when a loved one was murdered by cops. Learn about their stories, the stories of their loved ones and the inspiring heart-connection they have made to do something that I know is not easy. None of us asked for "this," let's hear stories that are so difficult to hear, but even harder to tell. BIOS AND RELEVANT LINKS:
* Christina Arechiga – Sacramento, CA– Prison right activist for over 15 years then changed focus to police brutality when her first cousin Ernest Duenez Jr was murdered by John Moody of the Manteca PD. Now works full time as a private investigator and in the CA Statewide Coalition Against Police Brutality for all families who have been victims of law enforcement corruption and working on changing procedures and laws allowing such corruption.
* Rosemary Duenez – Lathrop, CA – a mother and grandmother whose son Ernest Duenez Jr. was murdered by John Moody of the Manteca PD on June 8, 2011 – Ernest 34 yrs old was a father of an 11 month old son at the time, the Duenez family maintains weekly Sunday protests at the Manteca PD and is actively working with the CA Statewide Coalition Against Police Brutality. They fought to have the dash cam video released to them and they in turn released to the public in their fight for justice. Their civil case is currently in the federal courts in Sacramento, Ca and trial will begin in early 2014. The officer was cleared by the DA’s office but the family maintains an ongoing investigation and continues to put pressure on law enforcement to be accountable and file murder charges. You can view the video here: [youtube.com/watch?v=LhnY17F_eiQ]
* Denika Chatman – Vallejo, Ca – mother of Kenneth Harding 19 years of age was murdered on July 16, 2011 by San Francisco Police and then left to bleed out while medical personal was not allowed through police barricade – she moved her family back to California from Seattle to fight for justice for her son and holds monthly feeds for the homeless in the spot that still is stained with the blood of her son. Aka the Kenny Feeds held by the Kenneth Harding Foundation – they have recently been blessed with a new location in a church to continue their work. She is currently in a civil trial.

* Cephus Johnson aka “uncle bobby”– uncle of Oscar Grant murdered by Johannes Mehserle on a BART platform in Oakland, works nationally to organize and unite families who have been affected by the injustice system, their story is on screens nationwide in the film FRUITVALE STATION – you can read reviews here: [facebook.com/FruitvaleStationMovie]
Manteca City Police Department Chief Nick Obligacion, mastermind of the ordinance that banned homeless from setting up shelter -even on PRIVATE property, with permission of owner!
Jennifer Friedenbach is the Executive Director for the Coalition on Homelessness in San Francisco. Concerned with the abuse of brushing homeless people out of BART and into the damp curbs of SF, Friedenbach offers a solution that officials are just not investing enough into...even though it is more cost-effective.

"Activists & Attorneys Force Rights Restoration in Palo Alto; Santa Cruz Pushes Stay-Away Orders and RV Exclusion", 2014-11-20 by Robert Norse from HUFF Santa Cruz:
Palo Alto moves to restore rights (partially) to houseless people (or more accurately, those whose vehicles are their housing). It still has taken no action to restore Cubberly Community Center or other public areas for ground sleepers (the majority of homeless people). This latest step forward was prompted by persistent strong persistent activism from attorneys, service-providers, church folk, and the unhoused community--virtually all of this absent in Santa Cruz.
Here we have Bigotry Gone Bananas as the Transportation and Public Works Commission votes unanimously to forward a virtual ban on RV parking in Santa Cruz (permits available only for residents and only for vehicles on their block) with instructions to eliminate oversized parking spaces by banning (and paying for) more than one space. "It will give us more tools," smiled Deputy Chief Martinez. The Quick-to-Cringe Commission also moved to remove the free parking around The Garfield Park Circles Church. This was part of a malicious and successful campaign to shut down church services for the homeless. Front and center was the persistent Public Menace fiction being spread by Take Back Santa Cruz and its reps and sympathizers on the Commission (Brook Crumpton and Councilmember-elect Richelle Noroyan). The usual undocumented horror stories of feces, theft, "menace to children", and "felt insecurity" were the extending forbidden zones at night for those who had been waiting to get in to the 4 AM to 9:30 AM Sunrise Hangout Warming Center program.
That issue was largely academic at the Commission because Pastor Steve ended the program some weeks ago (and announced he was leaving town). But letting this kind of dangerous Big Lie spread (that the presence of homeless people means the presence of crime) is irresponsible behavior--particularly when done by those claiming to be Christian leaders.
Meanwhile at the Tuesday Santa Cruz City Council meeting, all but one Council member voted to give powerful Stay-Away powers to any cop or ranger who issues an infraction without a trial or any requirement to justify why he's doing so. The majority of infractions in the last year (half of them with one-day Stay Aways) have been to homeless people for such "crimes" as sleeping, smoking, and being in a park after closing. All of this under cover of the "Public Safety" label. The issue returns to City Council November 25th for a final vote.
HUFF has called for RV-dwellers to form an association, establish contacts with each other, document harassment from community NIMBY's, cops, and other nightcrawlers. We'll be taking reports at the Food Not Bombs meal Saturday 4-5 PM at Pacific and Front Streets near the main post office. Also bring any homeless-related citations so we can consider helping you file claims against the City and then take them to Small Claims Court. More info: 423-4833.

* "Sonoma County Doctor's Group allowed to deny help, torture, and murder disabled patient!" (2014-11-05) from Bobbie Jenkins [NorthbayMDS.blogspot.com link].
Intro 2014-11-06 from Dr. John Colby [facebook.com/GorillaAdvocacyInc], to whom it may concern: Ms. Jenke is in extreme pain. She is near death. She can barely speak audibly on the telephone (because she is so short of breath). Every email she sends causes her a great deal of pain. She has trouble breathing. She feels — because of her rapidly deteriorating condition — like she's being strangled (because of the nature of her surgically induced injuries). She can't sleep at night — she wakes up choking. One of her medical providers took away her oxygen tank. She desperately needs oxygen, emergency pulmonary care and treatment for severe sleep apnea, all caused by her surgically induced injuries and many years of neglect from the medical industry. I understand from her brief conversations with me that she feels dizzy and lightheaded. This is torture.
This is partly why she needs immediate medical intervention being denied her. On November 02, 2014, I filed a constituent complaint with Senator Barbara Boxer's office although they can't guarantee it will be immediately looked at : it's sitting in a stack of other people's constituent requests — Senator Boxer's staff seemed somewhat lackadaisical about me describing the urgency of this matter. I filed another emergency DHHS OIG complaint about the current denial of medical services under the Medicaid and Medicare insurance programs. DHHS protocol is they can't speak to me about the status of any investigations they might or might not have opened on Ms. Jenke's behalf. Their hotline won't give me the contact information for their Investigations Division nor for their Inspector General's Office. The DHHS is not open, transparent nor accountable.
Who do I appeal to next? Does any government official or legislator care about Ms. Jenke's life?
I hope the media doesn't drop the ball on this, that they report about Ms. Jenke if and when she dies. Potentially this is happening to millions of Americans butchered by our medical system which isn't being reported on — this is a huge story. This demands media attention or nothing will change!

Special Note from Bobbie Jenkins [www.tossurgerynightmare.com]:
Please read this link [ConsumerWatchdog.org link] [archive.today]. Jamie Court and his group behind Prop 46 sound VERY upset that NBC held this investigation until AFTER the elections--as if released earlier--Prop 46 MIGHT have won in CA. I'm CERTAIN NBC reporters HAD to leave Kaiser OUT of the report-probably as one of the conditions that they could even report the small amount they did. Watch... this topic WILL NOT come up again for a long time. Mainstream media owners occasionally allow such important topics to surface, but the BIG owners behind them, like Comcast, etc., will NOT allow must more of this... especially during OPEN enrollment for health insurance right now.

* "WHY IS THERE NO INFORMATION ON KAISER PERMANENTE HMO MEDICAL ERRORS/CRIMES???" 2014-11-21 message from Bobbie Jenke to Stephen Stock of NBCUniversal [Stephen.Stock@) nbcuni.com], [begin message]:
Dear NBC Investigative Unit,
Can you please explain to us why there is NO information on Kaiser Permanente HMO errors / medical crimes? I know MANY patients who died or were disabled due to Kaiser HMO care in CA, including myself! Please explain to us WHY you do not include KAISER PERMANENTE in your hospital surveys of medical HARM? Were you NOT allowed access to their data? It would probably have to come to you from the Department of Managed Health Care. Is the DMHC UNWILLING to release that information to you? Did you do a PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST for it?
Please respond--as I know many of us would like to know. Kaiser should not be allowed a "get out of jail free card" as they are a HUGELY profitable and often very dangerous hospital system in CA!!!!! Please view the many Kaiser Crimes videos on You Tube by Ms. Jupirena Stein--a surgically harmed and disabled former Kaiser patient, surgically harmed BY KAISER in Redwood City, CA-late 1990s.
[end message]
[begin response from Stephen Stock, 2014-11-22]
It is simple. The data breaks down adverse events for hospitals not HMO's. HMO's can include several hospitals. Therefore the data speaks to hospital adverse events not HMO adverse events.
[end response]
[begin reply from Bobbie Jenkins, 2014-11-23]
Dear Stephen Stock:
Thank you for your response--but sorry, I'm not buying it. Kaiser Permanente HMO is one of the BIGGEST offenders and perpetrators of PATIENT HARM in CA! Of course they have many hospitals--but so does Sutter Health and many of the others you mention. For example--I was MUTILATED at "CA Pacific Medical Center" in San Francisco in 2004--a Sutter owned Hospital! Sutter owns many other hospitals in Northern and Central CA. see [www.tossurgerynightmare.com].
Now, if you told me, that Kaiser is one of the largest sponsors of NBC and/or has large financial ties to NBC, and/or your owners and/or subsidiaries--and if you said that you were NOT ALLOWED to report on Kaiser Permanente's "ADVERSE EVENTS". especially during this OPEN ENROLLMENT period in CA for HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS--Kaiser being one of the largest advertisers--THEN: I would believe you!
But, truth be told---I'm fairly certain you are NOT allowed to say that to me even in an email. We need more "TRUTH in reporting," Stephen--just as we heard on Bill Moyers today. This is NOT a personal ATTACK on you ---because NBC probably tells you WHAT you CAN and CAN'T SAY!
But, for anyone reading your NBC report on "ADVERSE EVENTS" in CA Hospitals--this is just a tiny, tiny fraction that you have begun to reveal. And Kaiser Permanente falls under the Department of Managed Health Care--so you might need another Public Records Requests to get that data.
Anyway--you tried--and you got a tiny message out to the public about how ALL patient lives are at risk in CA and the USA. That means ALL of us! Something WORTH REPORTING about on mainstream media!
Thank you for the beginning of hopefully MUCH more TRANSPARENCY to come! And thank NBC and it owners for allowing even the smallest TRUTH to be told. However, it is NOT enough--because PEOPLE ARE DYING and being HARMED by Medical/Surgical error and damage every MINUTE in the USA today and even as I write this email to you.
Keep fighting to TELL MORE--as your HONEST and more thorough reporting CAN SAVE LIVES!
Thank you!

* "Question of fraud — CPRA request for 2014 CHP arrests in Santa Cruz County", message 2014-09-30 from Dr. John Colby to CHP Community Outreach & Media Relations (COMR) Officer John Michael Harris [916-843-3310] [Fax: 916-843-3337] [joharris@) chp.ca.gov]:
Dear Officer Harris,
First I would like to point out that the California Highway Patrol (CHP) gives the impression of a highly secretive, opaque agency. Nowhere on the Internet are the addresses, fax numbers and email contacts for executive CHP offices/officers. There isn't even a listing for you in the California Department of Information's employee directory! The CHP seems more secretive than Homeland Security. Question: Why?
That said, I would like to submit a California Public Records Act (CPRA) request to enforce the civil rights of (disabled) people in the County of Santa Cruz. I ask for a summary report of all arrests made by the CHP in Santa Cruz County between January 1, 2014 and the present day, September 30, 2014.
I ask that this report include the times, dates and locations of these arrests, as well as the case numbers and names of the arresting officers. As these records are of great public interest — since they implicate the CHP in fraud reported to me by a confidential whistleblower — they will be made available to the news media, civil rights advocacy organizations, the U.S. Senate, the USDOJ, the FBI, Governor Brown, the California DOJ and the state legislature.

Hmmmmm... Today it turns out that like LAUSD itself, UTLA has been covering up many millions of dollars of their own personnels' bureaucratic and political waste, and this with duespayers money. Such is where the money really needed to defend duespayers in 'Jails' etc. was flushed. Present treasurer Arlene Inouye, now with a 'Union Power mask on, had already been treasurer for the previous 3 years, another thing the Labor Notes article 'forgot' to point out about UP. The kicker here is Ms. Winslow does not deal with the brazen AWOL desertion of hundreds of UTLA members by not providing the quality Legal insurance members thought they were entitled to. Instead members were handed the grossly inferior, and many say near incompetent, Trygstad/Schwab/Trygstad firm where todays 'Union Power' UTLA Secondary VP Coleen Schwab just happens to be the wife of one of the Trygstad lawfirms top bosses! In addition, over the last 4 years of LAUSD Teacher Jail purges, UTLA has not organized even one major public meeting or mass action to call attention to the plight of, and to seriously defend, the innocent 'Jailed' teachers! A new movement for labor needs to be built from the ranks of working people and allies. [lausd-teachers@) yahoogroups.com].

STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF FERGUSON
Statement from United for Peace and Justice: We stand in solidarity with the people of Ferguson, who are awaiting an announcement from the grand jury about Darren Wilson. We call on groups around the country to express their support by joining or organizing local nonviolent actions. “The senseless killing of Mike Brown is a movement moment for racial justice and an opportunity to advance economic and social justice for all. We in the peace movement have a special role to play in this struggle because our work is global. Our work is for peace at home and peace abroad. We know that war and militarism has no borders. If we are to have peace abroad we must confront injustice, violence and the militarization of police in our own communities. We must build peace at home. The struggle against violence and militarism in Ferguson continues, as it does around the world. It is our charge as peacemakers and justice-seekers to stand with the people of Ferguson and all those who are victims of state violence as we make clear the connections between the war at home and the wars abroad, such as the renewed U.S. bombing of Iraq and Syria.” -Michael McPhearson, Veterans for Peace Interim Executive Director and former United For Peace and Justice (UFPJ) National Coordinator.

That's nonsense," said D'Andre Teter, who was among that crowd. "This is about the violence of the system. Regardless of the decision tonight, across the country, we have to build a movement. Black lives matter, Latino lives matter, all lives matter. (We need) to be able to build a movement, so that we can say, no more genocide in this country. Because what is happening when cops kill innocent people, that's genocide."
Pastor Nicholas Alexander, of Oakland's Do The Word Ministries, took a contrary view, saying that while he protested other police shootings of civilians, he believes Brown fought with Wilson over the officer's gun and the shooting was justified. He held a sign reading "Stop the violence" and condemned those he said were capitalizing on the shooting to commit violence and vandalism in Oakland. "Our message is that we don't appreciate these white organizations coming and speaking for our community," Alexander said. "If we felt that type of response was necessary, we'd be here ourselves."

Account of an eyewitness to the execution of Michael Brown:
The boy backed up and ran ... and he got to a certain spot that was 25 to 30 feet, maybe more. And when he turned to face the officer he raised his hands but he didn't raise them all the way up. He raised them up and looked down like he was looking at his side ... and then he turned and faced the officer like, what happen? Why ya know? I don't know what was going through his mind, but if I had a guy shot I would have came like, why did you shoot me or whatever?
The officer exited the vehicle ... and he said "stop." Because the boy looked up at him and he took two steps, about two or three steps. Pow pow! He fired off about three rounds and he hit him. The boy kinda wiggled. And when he came back up he had the weirdest look on his face, and he started coming forward. Not like he was trying to attack him, it's like he was coming to him, like to plea with him, stop. The officer did say, 'stop, stop, stop.' Well after that third time, he let loose. And the boy was coming forward slowly. Real slowly.
But you could see he was hurt, 'cause he was like this. And rocking back and forth. He wasn't in an upright position, he was kinda hunched over. And as he was coming forward and he fired off the volley, he was falling ... He was walking forward but it was not in a menacing way ... he did not have to fire that last volley. That's what killed him, to me. Because he didn't look like he was ready. You know. To me and I'm going to say it, he was executed. He had made up his mind he was going to kill him.

Just some preliminary insight from Peace & Justice organizer Michael E. Kerr of Diablo Valley:First: The long explanation by the prosecutor as to his presentation to the Grand Jury (GJ). He stated the GJ saw all the evidence. This is absurd. The GJ does not try a case. There is no cross examination to determine facts and witness credibility. The GJ should only be presented enough facts to get approval for an indictment to allow prosecution and a trial. This DA allowed the accused to testify and rated witness testimony without cross-examination and appears to have acted in a manner as to discourage an indictment. Indictment requests are almost automatic- in 2010 U.S. attorneys prosecuted 162,000 federal cases and declined to return an indictment in only 11 of them. Cases involving police shootings, however, seem to always be the exception with few indictments.
Second: There are reports of hundreds of police, the National Guard and some hundred FBI agents in the small community of Ferguson. Yet all this rioting, arson of cars and buildings was allowed to happen. It will be interesting if the people who did all this violence are arrested and prosecuted. It is well know that people working for the authorities often infiltrate, promote and facilitate violence at otherwise peaceful protests to cast negative opinions or create diversions from the serious issue that exposes corruption by authorities. It was also arranged to announce the GJ decision in the evening well after dark to provide cover for those causing violence. Why not announce decision in early morning hours, to allow calm and rational responses to take front and center media attention? Because the authorities wanted riots to be the major media attention promoted to the public.

* Friends Of the River (FOR) has called for volunteers to help make comments on the Delta Tunnels public. It turns out that government agencies aren’t making written comments on the Tunnels available to the public so FOR took legal action to get the comments and putting them up on their website at: [FriendsOfTheRiver.org link]. They’ve posted several already, but they need help to post the rest to ensure a more informed public debate about the project. These comments helped convince state and federal agencies that this plan to divert more water from the San Francisco Bay-Delta through two giant tunnels has major problems. Planners are now revising the plan for re-release sometime in 2015 which will create another valuable opportunity for public comment. People will be able to use these comments to prepare for the next round. The FOR asks that you consider signing up to volunteer for an hour or two at their office in Sacramento if you’re in the area.

* "Trotskyist-Type Revolutions Go On Without the World Even Knowing It" (2014-11-02) [SputnikNews.com link] [archive.today], [begin excerpt]: I think that most of the former American Trotskyists turned to neoconservative ideas. Those are the people like Irving Kristol and his song, people like Robert Kagan and all those elites who are forming the agenda of the contemporary American politics, regardless of which party is in power now. I mean, we had the neoconservative agenda during the administration of George W. Bush, of course. It was very open at that time.
But it is still continuing. We have people like Victoria Nuland, who was actually very active when it comes to the Ukrainian crisis. And she is the wife of Mr. Kagan who is one of the leaders of the neoconservative movement. Which means that the idea that lies behind the American policy, the American way of interfering in the foreign affairs, in the affairs of other countries is actually the same or it is quite similar.This is quite the way the Americans do their international politics since many years. I mean, on the one hand, they are claiming that they are a unique state which is the only one in the world. But, on the other hand, they try to impose all their values and also their way of thinking about the political system and the organization of the public life onto the other countries, doing it, of course, by force. And this is the ideological basis. Of course, we cannot forget about the interests which lie behind all those interventions in different places. Yes, of course, the modified Trotskism is behind all the activities of the US authorities all over the world. And the way of thinking which was presented by Trotsky in the past is still alive in the minds of the American political elites. And this is quite interesting, concerning that, on the one hand, the US is still rejecting all the leftist ideas of the 20th century, regarding them as communist or dangerous left-wing revolutionary ideas, but on the other hand, it uses very successfully the methods which were invented by Trotsky and other Trotskyists. So, in this case, it is just using the left-wing, perhaps, not ideology but methodology of revolutionary activities to achieve its own goals. [end excerpt]

Anti-Fascist Uprising in Mexico!
Thursday, Nov. 20th, Mexico City's central plaza is packed full of people protesting the government-sponsored massacre of 43 students.

* "Mexican Military Threatens Intervention against Mass Protests" (2014-11-22) [GlobalResearch.ca link] [archive.today], [begin excerpt]: Thursday’s demonstrations took place in 30 cities across the country and were the largest since the normalistas disappeared after calling for improvements to rural education. José Luis Abarca, the mayor of Iguala, located in the state of Guerrero, responded to their initial protests by ordering local police to violently attack the student teachers, killing six and abducting 43.The 43 were subsequently turned over to the notorious and state-connected drug gang, the Guerreros Unidos. Reports have emerged that the normalistas were tortured and then burned alive by members of the cartel.
Demonstrators called for the resignation of Peña Nieto, whose effigy was burned as thousands of onlookers cheered. The main speakers were the parents of the disappeared normalistas, who had traveled over 80 miles from Guerrero to make a national appeal.
“Today, the 20th of November, we celebrate the 104th anniversary of the beginning of the Mexican Revolution,” said Felipe de la Cruz, a father of one of the disappeared. “If we are halted here, it is because the governing class has mutilated our Constitution for their benefit and to justify their acts.”
The government had earlier announced the cancellation of its own Revolution Day parade on account of the expected demonstrations—an act that is itself a significant indication of growing political crisis.
Not only Peña Nieto and his Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), but all the major political parties are in one way or another implicated in the massacre. Both the mayor of Iguala (Abarca) and the governor of Guerrero are members of the oppositional PRD, with close ties to drug gangs. The party of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (known as MORENA) backed Abarca and has other ties to officials implicated in the massacre.
All the major parties have also backed Peña Nieto’s “Pact for Mexico,” aimed at introducing free market “reforms” and restructuring the economy to benefit the ruling class and foreign capital.
As the Mexican ruling class prepares to suppress social opposition domestically, it can count on the full support of its counterparts in the United States.
In a February 2014 press conference with President Peña Nieto held in Toluca, Mexico, US President Barack Obama touted “our shared commitment to democratic values and human rights” and praised the “enormous sacrifices” made by the Mexican security forces in the fight against drug cartels.
While the US has remained largely silent about the normalistas, US State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki addressed the Ayotzinapa massacre earlier this month, urging “all parties to remain calm throughout the process,” as though peaceful demonstrators and those responsible for the murder of the normalistas stood on equal ground. Noting that the US government is “concerned about the tensions on the ground,” Psaki added the US was “engaged, also, closely with officials there.” This, no doubt, includes top officials in the Mexican military.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, an ally of USA/EU and Israel that, since 2011, hosted the training camps for Islamic death-squads for war against the people within Syria, is being allowed to develop nuclear technology and uranium resources for capitalist investment and export. This is in contrast to the war by USA/EU and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran to prevent the same from happening there.

The following are examples of how China views the current USA-sponsored uprising in Hong Kong.

* "Hong Kong's People Have Spoken - End the Protests" (2014-11-20) [LandDestroyer.blogspot.ca link] [archive.today].
* "Hong Kong police spray protesters, arrest 80 in bid to clear street" (2014-11-25) [TerraDaily.com link] [archive.today]. China has dealt with, on average, 10,000 social disturbances a year throughout the last 10 years, with repression at varying degrees but without media attention on the monopolist news. The reaction to the social disturbances in Hong Kong is comparable to the USA treatment of the 2011 Occupy Wall Street related social disturbances. While this is indictment on the USA, this is also either an indicator about how China actually has treated its protesters or that the reaction has been toned down because of the monopolist news media being present in Hong Kong in accordance to that jurisdictions "special status" not given to regions within the majority of China's jurisidction.

from the Committee for the Study of History and the Current Context:
Life of lower-income people in the USA is an extension of the values of the private economic dictatorship. During the 1930s, a few monopolist holding companies were able to organize for profit by engineering war in Europe and famine in the USA, leading to the majority of the People to support a move towards economic democracy. After the coup against the socialist Vice-President Wallace in Sept. 1944, and the death (murder) of President Franklin Roosevelt in March, 1945, monopolists in the USA began a process of fascism in the homeland against women, artists, and captive nations while actively supporting fascist government worldwide...Studies in Conservative ideologies:

A message from Peace Movement Aotearoa [facebook.com/events/741949765897555]:
You are invited to join us on Monday, 1 December 2014 at 1pm, at parliament, Wellington, to fly the Morning Star flag in solidarity with the people of West Papua.
West Papua has been occupied by the Indonesian military since it was handed over, against the will of the indigenous population, to Indonesia in 1963. For the past fifty years, the people of West Papua have been subjected to gross human rights violations including rape, torture, cultural genocide, murder and massacre - more than 100,000 West Papuans have been killed. Many live in exile because it is not safe for them to go home.
Multi-national corporations in cahoots with the Indonesian authorities have exploited West Papua's natural resources to an extraordinary degree. This has caused massive social dislocation, devastation of rain forests, pollution of streams and rivers on which the local people depend for their survival, and serious human rights violations in areas where multinationals operate.
1 December is West Papua Independence Day, the anniversary of the 1961 West Papuan Declaration of Independence from Dutch colonial rule. In West Papua, people mark Independence Day in a variety of ways, including raising the Morning Star (the West Papuan flag) - despite the threat of arrest and murder. In previous years, the Indonesian military and police have responded with increased violent oppression around this day, arresting and killing those they perceive as pro-independence activists. West Papua Independence Day is marked by solidarity events around the world, including here in Aotearoa New Zealand.
This year we are marking West Papua Independence Day in Wellington on Monday, 1 December, at 1pm at parliament - during the solidarity gathering there will be an opportunity to write a personal message in support of justice, peace and self-determination for West Papua.

On Saturday, May 25th, 2013, the Hampton Institute was launched with hopes of contributing to the broad movement for social and economic justice by creating a platform for working class folk to comment, analyze and theorize on important (and sometimes complex) matters.
Our founding members, realizing the need for a rebirth (or birth, depending on how you look at it) of working-class-rooted analysis, came together with a humble goal of fitting into a movement that has been courageously prodded along by grizzled stalwarts of activism, a host of alternative media hubs, and a newly-emerging resistance stemming from Occupy Wall Street.
"The Russian Revolution and the struggle to end exploitation of people by people", listen [LiberationRadio.org link], download [mp3 link at pslweb.us]: Brian Becker, a founding member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, explains the Marxist perspective on the Russian Revolution, the Soviet Union, and the gains, challenges and contradictions facing the first socialist government in a world dominated by imperialism. This interview is one part of a larger PSL educational series.
The War Has Come Home:
The weapons companies are selling the idea of a militarized police to make money. This won't stop. The private prisons have a deal with the state to guarantee incarceration rates. Innocent people are kidnapped by the state security agencies to meet the private prison quota. Human Rights and Justice campaigns are being attacked viciously, while police agents agitate for violence among the protesters to justify repression.
