Decades Long Cover Up in California Shows Children Just Might Be Left Behind, In the Rubble

California politics have blamed so many for its financial woes.

The Mexicans.
The Gangs.
The Liberals.
The Greedy People who Bought Homes Above their Means.
Homophobic Black People Who Voted Against Proposition 8.
Charlie Sheen.

And lastly, they finally figured it out. It had to be the teachers.

Those no-good, lazy, money-hungry Jezebels and pimps who work at under-resourced schools, attempting to teach children with a union that makes deals like used car salesmen in a dusty, desert car lot.

Teachers were the ones who have undermined the financial progress of California.

Until proper poetic justice has given teachers a needed trump card; and has given all of California to really see the real corruption embedded in California politics.

This weekend, California Watch dropped a series of stories revealing the State has collected tens of billions of dollars to fix schools to be prepared for earthquakes, and have not delivered.

Here is a quote from one of the article,"Lax of Oversight School Construction Raises Doubt About Earthquake Safety."

Taxpayers spent $52 million to build the campus on a former General Motors factory site in South Gate, near Los Angeles. The school, which opened in 2004, sits in a liquefaction zone that could turn to mush in an earthquake, according to a report by a geological firm hired by the Los Angeles Unified School District.

And that was just for one building.

Here are some of the things that the stories uncovered.

• Millions of children's lives are at extremely high risk if a quake happens.
• 7,500 schools throughout the state of California have been identified by state inventory as potentially dangerous for high seismic activity
• 20,000 projects have not been approved by the mandatory Field Act, a certification process that says all building repairs and the structure of buildings are within the guidelines of proper construction
• 1626 schools are in liquidation zones (Liquidation zone means that in a strong earthquake, the earth liquifies)
• 18 schools' instability with structural issues and sit in a landslide zone. (A zone where if an earthquake occurs, these schools sit on slopes and inclines that are dangerously unstable)
• Hundreds of inspectors who received unfavorable marks regarding their work performance, and even one with a felony regarding fraudulent assessment on a construction site, are still getting $70 - $100 an hour to inspect buildings in which they have filed inaccurate reports.
• The Schwarzenegger Administration made "adjustments" that crippled efforts for schools to receive funding in repairing these potential dangerous structural issues.
• This all equals of funky as cover up and coffers that have been generously filled for decades.

You think Japan was bad. It an 8.9 rocks anywhere in California, we are talking about a possible tsumani that happens with land, in regards to the San Andreas fault.

It took an outsider, a black man from the South named Corey Johnson, to peel the thick layers of corruption.


Why California?
California is critical in talking about the future of the US, because it is the richest state in the country. If it were a country, it would be the sixth wealthiest nation. So when California shakes, then the rest of the country violently trembles.

What does this unveiling mean?

One, it shows that money and privileged didn't mean anything. Schools and hospital facilities built in the wealthiest communities from San Francisco to San Diego were built on fault lines and were given money to be properly constructed, but never happened.

Two, this story provides an excellent template of people investigating the real issues behind the fiscal failures in their own States and the federal government.

Three, it removes the culpability of teachers being the "problem" and gets to the real issue, systemic corruption that will even put children as sacrificial lambs in the quest for money and power.

Four, if this is happening in California, it is happening everywhere.

Lastly, being vigilante in holding the true people accountable will put billions of dollars back into education and into the US.

Credit & Bullsh*t: Fighting a Credit Lawsuit and Winning

This is a real story, no bullshit and no pitch; but in today's world where the paycheck-by-paycheck folk are taking the brunt of greedy multi-corporations, I had to give you this information on how I beat a credit lawsuit a couple of months ago.

Here's my story....
One day I got a letter in the mail saying that a law firm was suing me on behalf of two alleged credit card accounts that I had taken out in my name.

I froze.

I was pissed and stressed. As a (semi-employed) graduate student, who needs the threat of their slave wages being garnished.

In the past, I have heard stories from several women who got their wages garnished from a lawsuit like mine. I was shook because the total was close to $4,000. For real, my bowels got a little slushy because here I was dealing with these credit hustlers once again.

But somehow, the current economic crisis gave me a boost. Not only was I determined to win, but also get the phone calls at my house stopped and the all of the collection agencies attempting to collect a debt from 10 years ago, out of my life.

As I saw AIG, Lehman Brothers, General Motors, Bank of America, and all these financial industries receive the largest welfare checks ever cut by the United States government, I thought to myself, I will fight against a bill that is not only mine, but fight against the others that are a crock.

The reason I am so adamant about this issue is because banks, credit agencies, and many institutions survive off of the pennies of people who are barely making ends meet. These people, including myself, are vulnerable in legal representation or ignorant to how they can fight.

I was disgusted by a $250 credit limit coming out to $1000 because I did not pay the full amount for a couple of months. Moreso, I was totally furious by a company given billions of dollars for fucking up, and here I was getting penalized for some pennies in comparison, and having to pay more interest than they ever would.

Time for some action...
I used my $100,000 degrees (my total in student loans) and did serious research (in one of my seminars on my laptop) and found out some facts. I counteracted and responded to the lawsuit.

In my response to the courts, I indicated that the law firm/collection agency did not prove or send information that I was the actual person (fiduciary) connected to the account. This meant, they did not provide an original agreement with my signature in their attempt to collect. Even if you are the person, you can still state this because collection agencies do not have the original contract.

My response turned into a trial date. When I got there, there were a lot of people who did not show up. The credit card automatically won. There were three people who did, including me, and we all walked out of there clean as a whistle due to our cases being dropped because a representative from the agency or firm did not show.

In my case, the law firm attempted to shaft me on both court dates by sending me a letter the day before the case went to court saying that they had requested the case to be dismissed. If I would have gone by their words, and not presented myself in court, than I would have lost. So NEVER trust your opponent in court matters, have the courts tell you the deal.

I am passing this information on to you in hopes that you can use this to your advantage. It is not a foolproof plan, and I don't know what it will get you, but it will help. Standing up will help.

There is also a template of a letter you can send to collection agencies to stop them from collecting. I found it online back in January 2009 and copied it for my records. Unfortunately, my computer crashed in May or June of this year and the one copy I had was lost.

No worries, below is an actual letter to an alleged debtor telling them to back the fuck up and back the fuck off of me. I took some of this verbage and put it in my response to the courts. Just copy and paste, or tell the credit representatives who call you this shit and trust me, they stop. I've been getting more sleep, except for this morning when one of them called.

Midland Credit Management did not produce any proof that they had the legal authority to collect on behalf of First National Bank.

Midland Credit Management called my home more than three times a week, the legal allotted time to contact alleged creditors.

I demand that I am removed from your files.

I demand that you stop requesting credit agencies to place negative reports on my file for bogus charges.

Good Luck, I hope this helps.

Dirty Little Secrets of Credit Cards in Today's Financial Depression


Here are some other facts about Credit Card Companies & Collection Agencies that Might be Helpful
1. When a collection agency contacts you that means your credit card company has sold your account for pennies to a credit agency and/or law firm who then attempts to collect the debt. The original debt is gone because it became a tax write-off for Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX, etc. The new debt is your original credit fees plus whatever the new agency has tacked on.

2. The new debtor takes your account and updates it credit scoring agencies (Experian and all those fuckers) along with a new debt that is usually 400 percent higher than your original debt. Technically, your debt is really gone because it was written off, but the collection agency can tell credit scoring company that your account is active and your balance has increased.

3. HOWEVER, the new debtor must have all of the original paperwork to prove that you are indeed the person who opened the account with the credit card company. Additionally, they must tell you how much they paid for your account, and the new charges they've added on. If they cannot prove you are the person who established the fiduciary (fancy legal word for saying you represent one of the parties in the business agreement).

4. If the debtor cannot prove these things than, they cannot collect shit from you.

5. If you are sued, you ALWAYS RESPOND TO THE SUIT IN WRITING. If you do not respond than you will automatically lose. What they don't tell you is that these law suits are a dime-a-dozen, and these companies do not have the legal labor force to fight every suit. These are scare tactics to get people to pay.

“Roses Really Smell Like Boo-Boo” in the Garden State

Something is reeking in New Jersey and it is not country flowers. If you did not know, yesterday, FBI and IRS agents arrested over 40 people for allegedly being involved in a money laundering and bribery network that ran from Israel to New Jersey.

Some of the arrestees consisted of three mayors (Hoboken, Seacaucus, Ridge), a deputy mayor (Jersey City), two state legislatures, and a handful of rabbis who allegedly funneled money through yeshivas and non-profit organizations, and were involved in other illegal activities.

As well, New Jersey’s Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs, unexpectedly resigned on the same day the arrests took place and right after the FBI ran up into his home to search his residence for possible evidence related to the case.

On the surface, this looks like a dismal blow to the Democrats who have been enjoying a consistent flow of Republican politicians screwing up in the media. With the shoe on the other foot, it might be the Democrats once again, not knowing how to handle blow jobs, funny money and ruthless red elephants shitting in the blue donkey’s stall.

But my conspiracy theory nose is twitching in this “age of transparency” because these busts, just so happened to occur, right as the gubernatorial race for New Jersey is beginning to heat up and get very interesting.

Democrat, John Corzine who is the current governor is also seeking re-election. According to news reports, he is said to not be doing well in the polls. Corzine is up against political bulldog and self-proclaimed corruption ball-buster, Christopher Christie, the former U.S. Attorney for District of New Jersey who left his job for the election sometime last year.

(photo caption: Christie doing the Durty Jersey jig when he convicted former Newark mayor. Are you supposed to celebrate like that?)

Christie is an unforgettable face because the Star Ledger paper took a photo of him celebrating the conviction of former Newark mayor, Sharp James, in 2008. While Christie served in his former position as a big-wig attorney, his stance against those in public office who “betray [ed] public trust” was that they all should go to prison. Oh really, all of them, or your political foes?

So why is it that a 2-year sting operation comes out right before elections?

In this recent sting operation, reports have confirmed that this investigation started while Christie was still serving as a U.S. District Attorney. He knew what the deal was then and he knows that this is a one-up to help him now.

What nice timing to expose these bribes, or alleged bribes! I tell you something is foul in the air.

As a new resident of Jersey, I am still trying to understand the deep layers of corruption that are thoroughly and in most cases, openly, intertwined into every facet of every institution in the state. To me, this is just a fight over who will control the honey pots, and if it is the conservatives I think I might have to move to Philly.

If you would’ve seen some of these Conservatives and Republicans when Obama won last Fall, you would’ve thought you had just witnessed the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation in Confederate country along a dusty Georgia road. And it wasn’t just the old heads, but younguns’ vying to seek revenge for the “stupid” Americans who voted for the Moslem.

Now do I think that bribery was involved? Uhh, yeah, most likely somebody’s palms were being rubbed very well. Maybe I’m pissed that they were not mine. Could help pay some of these $80,000 loans. On second thought, I'll pass, maybe I can win something free on Oprah today.
