MEMORIAL DAY – A DAY TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE WHO GAVE SO MUCH FOR US! BY BARRY LEVINSON
Posted by Joe Imbriano in The Way on May 29, 2017
When I think about the ultimate sacrifices given by so many brave Americans through the short history of our nation, I am literally in awe. The bravery, the commitment, the honor all those men and women provided for us is overwhelming to me. These were men and women in the prime of their lives.
I do not want to forget the sacrifice my dad made for his country. He fought against the Nazis in both the North African and Italian theaters. He led a group of men whose sole job was to clear fields of land mines before the main forces would come through behind them. So naturally, his unit took heavy casualties.
So he and his men faced many dangers including stepping on a land mine, enemy snipers, and enemy shelling.
One day his best friend was blown literally to bits from enemy shelling. At the same time, his other friend lost both of his legs. My dad was the fortunate one as he only sustained shrapnel wounds to his right wrist and his abdomen. He recovered and was quickly sent back to the front. Luckily he eventually made it home and that is why I am here.
I think of what my dad and so many other brave men and women who served in combat had to deal with day after day. These were basically ordinary Americans who rose to the challenges facing them and by doing so became extraordinary.
I then, unfortunately, have to turn my thoughts to the dishonor and deceit of our elected and appointed officials here in Fullerton. That they recently knowingly have allowed our City Attorney to provide false information about our former Ordinance 3149, the Child Sex Offender Residency Restriction Act, to justify its repeal. Our men and women in uniform gave so so much and we allow our elected and appointed officials in my humble opinion dishonor their sacrifices with their deceitful political games. Those brave men and women died for a cause, an ideal, for a great country with the experiment that democracy could not only work but flourish for the benefit of all Americans.
On this day more than any other, don’t we owe it to those who lost their lives to serve and protect this great nation the dignity of now honoring them by demanding that our elected and appointed officials show a modicum of honor and respect for them and for us the people they swore to serve.
I frequently think about my son when I am standing up against the forces of evil in our government. Yes when our government officials knowing lie to us, I consider that evil. But today I am standing up to those same forces for my dad and the many of his fellow soldiers who did not make it home alive!

A PROCLAMATION TO ALL FULLERTON RESIDENTS. MY POSTINGS ARE HAVING THEIR IMPACT AGAINST THE FORCES OF CORRUPTION IN FULLERTON. IT IS PRECISELY BECAUSE I AM INFORMING THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE TRUE NATURE OF OUR CITY GOVERNMENT, OUR FULLERTON POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OUR CITY COUNCIL THAT HAS FORCED A FEW TO CRAWL OUT OF GUTTER AND TO MAKE TOTALLY FALSE AND UNFOUNDED CLAIMS AGAINST ME! BY BARRY LEVINSON
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Bruce Whitaker, Fullerton politics, FULLERTON PRAVDA, Tony Bushala, Who's who in Fullerton politics on May 29, 2017
P.S. THIS MEANS TWO THINGS FULLERTONIANS. FIRST IT MEANS THAT OUR MESSAGE IS GETTING OUT TO MORE AND MORE PEOPLE. SECOND IT MEANS THAT THE CORRUPT FULLERTON GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP AND THEIR SPECIAL INTEREST SUPPORTERS ARE GETTING VERY WORRIED THAT THEIR PLANS TO DESTROY FULLERTON, AS WE HAVE KNOWN IT MAY NOT COME TO FRUITION.
Here is an excellent example of the depths my enemies will go to try to ruin my reputation straight from the on-line comments of the recently dug up from the ashes Friends for Fullerton’s Future website approved by Travis Kiger
Travis Kiger-administrator FFFF
“The City Attorney explained it to you Barry..remember?
“Barry was let go from P and R due to him repeatedly harassing an employee who was just this side of suing him and the city for not protecting her from Barry. But Barry lies and says he has no clue why.”
The comments quoted above directly from the Friends for Fullerton’s Future website are a total and complete lie. The city attorney explained absolutely nothing to me and I did not harass any city employee or anybody else for that matter.
How very sad and very disgusting at the same time that it was none other than current Appointed Mayor and my former friend Bruce Whitaker who stated this falsehood for the first time in the July 2016 Fullerton Observer approximately 5 weeks after he informed me that he would remove me after stating that he considered doing this for months. For the record , he never gave me an explanation then or did he to this day every contact me with a direct explanation from him. What a guy!
Here is Whitaker’s shameful totally false defamation of me as follows: “The (Fullerton) Observer asked Council member Whitaker for his reason for removing his appointed commissioner. He sent the following response:” ““Faced with an imminent employee action which would have likely generate substantial cost to the City, to avoid that action, I opted to remove the commission member. That member’s term would otherwise have expired in December 2016. As you know there had been an effort by Council members in October 2014 to remove that same appointee from the P&R commission which failed on a 3-2 vote. An involuntary removal required four votes.””
What Whitaker so deceitfully left out was that he voted against removing me and said at the time that there was no evidence to support my removal but that it seemed to be nothing more than a political vendetta against my activism by then Police Chief Dan Hughes and members of the City Government. What a guy you are Bruce. Can you be any more deceptive than with that quoted statement sir from the Fullerton Observer? Here below are your exact words on the City Council dais. You paint a totally different picture on that night of November 4, 2014 as follows:
Now for the readers I can’t tell you how many times in the past after I spoke out on some problem facing Fullerton during a Fullerton Council meeting that Council member Whitaker would call me immediately after the meeting to thank me for my great input and to keep up the good work. I never ever received any criticism for any of my service to the community as a Fullerton resident activist at City Hall or for my service of almost 6 years (well into my second term) as Whitaker’s appointee to the P&R Committee. Funny that he has never mentioned any of this false storyline to me. I guess this would be another example of his failure to do his fiduciary responsibility for the good people of Fullerton. Because if there were any bit of truth to this, if I were his boss, I would have immediately discussed the accusation with him. The first time I hear this total fabrication is indirectly thru the Fullerton Observer article over five weeks after he removed me.
To the anonymous writer of this complete defamation, please give me your full name and address and I will take appropriate action against you. For you are a low life, a coward and a liar all wrapped together in one disgusting human being. (Please note that the only difference between the actions of Bruce Whitaker and the anonymous person commenting on the FFFF website is the fact that Bruce Whitaker gave us his name.) Please also give me the name of the employee that you allege I harassed!
To the administrator of the FFFF website (which was Travis Kiger and I suspect still is), I demand that you give me the IP address of the person who spewed out those defaming comments. I would ask you to do this on your site but you have already seen fit to block any more of my comments. So much for your so-called libertarian beliefs.
Fullertonians please take note that this is all that the phony and corrupt people supporting our corrupt city hall have as a defense. When they can’t handle the truth and when the heat gets too high, they turn to libel, slander and defamation. In other words, they have nothing to defend themselves, for you can’t defend yourself from the truth and the facts. So they make up totally false allegations in an attempt to assassinate someone’s character, namely mine in this case.
Is Bruce Whitaker telling another tall tale or worse?
I seriously doubt you will come out from the shadows because you know you are not being truthful and do not want to get sued. I have asked Bruce Whitaker to provide details to his false character assassination story. He has remained dutifully silent. What does that tell you about our Appointed Mayor?
There are some very morally bankrupt people participating and defending our city government. It it contemptuous that there are allegations given anonymously with the person allegedly harassed by me conveniently not identified, nor the nature of the alleged harassment. It is very simple that you can’t provide a name that does not exist. Your allegations are so, so dishonest, baseless with absolutely no specifics whatsoever. I deal with facts and if you can’t live with the facts I suggest that you change your behavior. I am putting those responsible for the FFFF website on notice that going forward I expect that you either do not post these defamations or respond to the defamations that they are to be ignored without the weight of any evidence.
FFFF’s Travis Kiger eating his …….
Why would these miscreants go to such lengths to defame me, when all I have done is to speak the truth and give the facts? For you see Fullertonians if that were not the case many of these big money special interests would have already filed lawsuits against me. They had nothing before and they have nothing now, but to lower themselves by defaming my character. All I can say when you read or hear these lies….Remember the Source (when they actually give the source, which is very infrequent).
Here’s Bruce Whitaker shovelin’ more …….
It is so very sad that Bruce Whitaker had a golden opportunity to make a difference if only he meant a small portion of the things he told his supporters and constituents. He failed us miserably over the past six and one-half years as a council member and now finds it necessary to defame me without any proof for any of his defaming remarks.

Let’s take a closer look at the Friends For Fullerton’s Future Website by Barry Levinson

FFFF Founder Tony Bushala
FFFF Site Administrator Travis Kiger
If the FFFF website was run by objective straight-forward people they would know that they only had to look into a mirror to find some of the people responsible for the construction disaster, known as the City of Fullerton Hillcrest Park to Lion’s Field Stairs. For you blame Ms. Cox for her phony, contrived and orchestrated statements.
Yet who put Ms. Cox in the position of Park and Recreation Committee member? That person was none other than Council member Jennifer Fitzgerald. And what Council member among others has this website given a pass over the last 5 years? I believe that would be the same aforementioned Ms. Fitzgerald. So FFFF, look no further than into a mirror to place some blame for those hideously constructed stairs.
I believe that would be the same aforementioned Ms. Fitzgerald. So FFFF, look no further than into a mirror to place some blame for those hideously constructed stairs.
It is so obvious to see that this website is exactly the carbon copy of the political careers of Bruce Whitaker and Greg Sebourn who they so often tout.
They acknowledge problems, wring their hands over the issues and then do absolutely nothing to solve the problems. Giving Greg Sebourn credit for stating the obvious after the many problems with the stairs were exposed by the public is so, so ridiculous.
Sebourn failed to bring forth a motion to agendize an internal investigation over whom within the city approved the shoddy and very substandard construction and then Sebourn did not bring a motion to sue the contractor responsible for all the derelict construction. This demonstrates clearly that he is only good at grandstanding. The same could easily and correctly be said about Appointed Mayor Bruce Whitaker who touts limited fiscally conservative government. But did he make either of the above motions as Mayor…of course not. For it is so obvious that neither have the integrity or the courage to do the right thing for the people of Fullerton. However, they are all too often ready to take credit for statements they make that never do the good people of Fullerton any darn good. What a pair they make on that dais!
Questions for those responsible for the Friends for Fullerton’s Future as follows:
- Please explain as libertarians your censorship and your lack of candor about your moderation and canceling comments that you obviously do not want to be posted to your website?
- Please also explain why this web page waited until literally the day after the 2016 election to go back on the Internet. I guess the outcome of the 2016 election for a so-called political reform website was not important enough to restart it prior to rather than immediately after the 2016 elections.
I believe you owe it to your readership to answer the above two questions.
One last comment concerning the name of the website. Friends for Fullerton’s Future can’t be a more vague and nebulous title. Unless you believe that the end of days is quickly approaching, or a meteorite will destroy the entire planet very soon, or if the entire world will cease to exist due to a nuclear annihilation, the future is a given. But it is a very appropriate title for your website because it says nothing, means nothing and your website accomplishes nothing; no solutions, no improvements just grandstanding and allowing undisclosed bloggers to defame good people like myself.
What I am concerned about is the quality of the future we will leave to our children and grandchildren and the honesty and integrity of those we call our leaders including those that work at Fullerton City Hall.
WHY ONLY HIGHLIGHTING UNFUNDED PENSION COSTS BUT IGNORING ALL OTHER FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL FAILINGS BY MAYOR BRUCE WHITAKER, COUNCIL MEMBER GREG SEBOURN, JENNIFER FITZGERALD, DOUG CHAFFEE AND JESUS SILVA IS A BIG MISTAKE AND CERTAINLY WILL NOT HAVE THE DESIRED EFFECT OF FULLERTON GOVERNMENT REFORM BY BARRY LEVINSON
Barry Levinson
There is absolutely no doubt that the biggest financial calamity facing California taxpayers created by our elected officials is the public pension unfunded liabilities followed by the public employee retiree health care unfunded liabilities.
Yet I have been making the point for some time now that as citizens we can’t ignore all the other falsehoods, misinformation and out and out lies given to us by our California elected and appointed officials at all levels of the government and expect to make real headway with pensions.
Why do I say this? It is rather simple really. How do you expect to get an honest handle on pension costs, when we allow our elected and appointed officials to mislead us on just about every important issue facing us today. You want objectivity, transparency, and honesty concerning pensions while letting our officials literally skate on almost everything else. Either we hold all of them accountable and that means they start being honest with us on everything or we throw all of them out and get elected officials who finally have our interests at the forefront of if not everything, at least most official actions they take as our duly elected representatives.
The fact that citizens who only address the big money issue of pensions and actually give cover to those who mislead and lie to us on so much else makes those citizens part of the entire problem and not part of the solution. You can not be honest with pensions and dishonest with everything else and expect a better outcome for both the taxpayers and the citizens of this once great state of California. There is nothing good to come out of supporting your crooked politician because he/she throws us a bone once in a blue moon. Unfortunately, the bone usually is hollow as well. It is usually political grandstanding and not real. So highlighting nothing other than skyrocketing pension costs will not get us where we need to be….which is for once getting a more honest, transparent government led by elected officials with equal parts integrity and courage.
So when will you pension writers start to call out the phonies who say they are for pension reform while lying to us on so many other very important issues and at the same time accomplishing little or nothing in the pension arena either.
A good start in the City of Fullerton would be to ask for the resignations of all Fullerton City Council members,
Whitaker,
Sebourn,
Fitzgerald,
Chaffee
and Silva
for their repealing a very good law based on false information and assumptions.
It was Fullerton Ordinance 3149, the Child Sex Offender Residency Restriction Act. Now formerly convicted child rapists, molesters, etc. can live right next door to any school, park, pre-school and day-care center in Fullerton thanks to each and every council member going along with a deceitful false premise provided by none other than Fullerton City Attorney, James Touchstone. That false premise was that the Fullerton ordinance covered all sex offenders when in fact it explicitly stated that it dealt specifically with only child sex offenders. The fact is that in no California court has the residency restriction of just child sex offenders every been adjudicated or challenged. The question then remains why would all five council members take action to benefit pedophiles while at the same time making it less safe for our children?
City attorney Dick Jones
It is a question that we the citizens of Fullerton deserve a complete and honest answer to! But I can guarantee that will never happen and that is precisely why they all need to be thrown out of office.
Seeking to influence FJUHSD parents and school officials to irradiate all Troy High School students and teachers, Troy teacher Jesse Knowles hosts “junk science” presentation
“I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth, if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.” — Leo Tolstoy
We know today that through direct observation, the microwave levels inside the classrooms at Troy and Sonora High Schools are at least 1000 times higher than in a typical home. Troy and Sonora have metal walls and the students are getting sick. Migraines, general malaise, fatigue, chronic insomnia, students falling asleep, and taking pain medication daily have become the norm at Troy and Sonora where the entire schools have sheet metal walls with industrial strength dual band access points deployed throughout. Sadly, these symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg as cancer and infertility are what await anyone chronically exposed to these emissions.
The microwave deployment was done just after summer and against years of protest and warnings at board meetings. This article is to expose a staff member who is directly responsible for the harms being done to all the students in the FJUHSD. This is pure evil folks. The schools are low power microwave ovens.
THROUGH TOTAL DECEPTION, seeking to influence FJUHSD parents and school officials to irradiate all Troy High School students and teachers,
Troy teacher Jesse Knowles hosts “junk science” presentation.
Jesse Knowles
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY PROMOTER AND TROY MUSIC TEACHER JESSE KNOWLES
Through a document obtained in a California Public Records Act Request, it has been learned that on August 14, 2013, Mr. Jesse Knowles, a Troy High School teacher hosted a meeting in his home in which a “Dr. Ramone”(aka Roman Schulze) made a presentation to FJUHSD parents as well as Troy Principal and Assistant Principal, Amy Avina and Danielle Kenfield, respectively. As the document states, the purpose of the meeting was to “provide an opportunity for interested parents to hear a different viewpoint.” Per the document, the presentation was to address another parent’s research, Mr. Joe Imbriano.
FULLERTON PARENT JOE IMBRIANO
A copy of the presentation was provided to Board Members. Other FJUHSD school officials may have been in attendance. Knowles’ residence is next door to Mr. Imbriano, a parent who has been outspoken in voicing the health hazards of wireless radiation, unnatural EMFs, and who was denied by the Acacia School PTA access to share this information with its’ membership. This is pertinent as THE FJUHSD was considering installing Wi-Fi throughout all of its’ campuses, some of which HAVE METAL WALLS LIKE TROY HIGH SCHOOL AND SONORA HIGH SCHOOL, affecting the health and well being of a population of approximately 15,000 people, most adolescents AND OF COURSE THE ENTIRE STAFF.
The 36-page presentation, dated 8/14/2013, was titled
EMF-U, Electromagnetic Field University. Although no name appears on the document, we assume the author to be Dr. Ramone, (aka Roman Schulze) as he is the presenter.
Dr Ramone (aka Roman Schulze)
Divided into five sub headings, the most significant is EMF, Studies and Literature, which focuses on the work of Dr. Luc Vershaere, Evaluations of International Expert Group Reports on the Biological Effects of Radiofrequency Fields, dated 3/20/2013.
About Dr. Luc Vershaere . . .
The centerpiece of Ramone’s (aka Roman Schulze) presentation featured the work of Dr. Vershaere. The work covers reports published in a two-year window, 2009-2011. There exist decades of science and studies on microwave radiation, numbering in the thousands, that demonstrate it as a health hazard. Ramone (aka Roman Schulze) ignores all of that and chose to extract and advance one work, embodying a mere two years.
Why not look at the thousands of studies and appeals by foreign governments and let the parents have an understanding of that?
A close examination of the funding sources and affiliations is always required to better understand if the science is potentially compromised due to a conflict of interest. Dr. Henry Lai, University of Washington, performed a study of this: Radiofrequency Research: Does Funding Matter?, examining Industry and Non-industry funded studies and whether they found that RF-radiation had harmful effects. “The EMF industry-funded studies found an effect from EMF exposures in 28% of the studies, and the independently funded EMF studies found an effect from EMF exposures 67% of the time.” That was from his database of July, 2007, and published in 2009, page 28, in Cellphones and Brain Tumors, 15 Reasons for Concern, Science, Spin and the Truth Behind Interphone. Ref: http://www.radiationresearch.org/pdfs/reasons_us.pdf
and http://www.emfanalysis.com/research/
That data was available in 2007; did Ramone (aka Roman Schulze) examine the analysis?
As it turns out, Dr. Vershaere’s integrity, as well as many others, is sharply called out in this letter to Lancet Oncology Editor, David Collingridge:
“Luc Verschaeve
Declared COI: research institute received a small research grant (less than 5.000 €, ceased in March 2011) from the GSM Operators Forum on environmental effects of mobile phone base stations.
Undeclared COI: Luc Verschaeve is president of the Belgian BiomelectroMagnetic Group, which is sponsored by power grid operator Elia. He also received research funding from Belgacom.”
Source, with links to evidence of Dr. Verschaeve’s Conflict of Interest: https://pubpeer.com/publications/42E8BEABDD9C5FD5EF43F3378681DC
Why is Dr. Ramone (aka Roman Schulze) presenting information by someone with a known conflict of interest and why did the FJUHSD not use his real name?
Dr. Ramone (aka Roman Schulze)
Cancer?
Why didn’t Ramone (aka Roman Schulze) present the February 2013 video statement Dr. Anthony Miller, cancer epidemiologist who served on a number of research groups for the IARC, who pointed that if RF were classified today, February 2013, it would have to be classified as a Class 2A probable human carcinogen?
In 2012 the Italian Supreme Court ruled that a man’s brain tumor was caused by cell phone radiation. Why didn’t Ramone tell the parents and school officials that?
Peer reviewed science demonstrates that exposure to RF-Radiation causes cancer. As of this date, there are at least three such studies and we are, in fact, seeing the cancer rates increasing in our population. Currently, there is a $1.9 billion lawsuit against Motorola, claiming that cell phones caused a man’s brain tumor. Everyone at Troy knows Jesse Knowles himself just had a brain tumor removed. Was it caused by his deep love affair with his wireless devices?
There was plenty of evidence in August 2013 that wireless radiation exposures cause cancer. Certainly, the parents and school officials should have been given this information. Why did Dr. Ramone (aka Roman Schulze) withhold this critical information?
Instead, the portion devoted to cancer was a shallow walk-through of cancer classifications. Meaningless information considering that researchers were already speaking up and calling for reclassification to a “2a” and that the lawsuit against Motorola in which the plaintiffs demanded a trial by jury was dated May 3, 2010.
Electrohypersensitivity (EHS), Electrosensitivity, Microwave Sickness
This is a hugely significant health matter for a growing number of people.
The last bullet point on page 33 reads: “Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity” Is Not a Valid Diagnosis. Ramone ignores the Austrian Medical Association, which released a consensus paper with guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of EHS. This was adopted in March 2012 a full year and a half prior to Ramone’s presentation. If he had done the research required, Ramone would have discovered that “in 1970, a report from the former Soviet Union described the “microwave syndrome” among military personnel, working with radio and radar equipment, who showed symptoms that included fatigue, dizziness, headaches, problems with concentration and memory, and sleep disturbances. Similar symptoms were found in the 1980s among Swedes working in front of cathode ray tube monitors, with symptoms such as flushing, burning, and tingling of the skin, especially on the face, but also headaches, dizziness, tiredness, and photosensitivity.”
Why did Dr. Ramone (aka Roman Schulze) omit this?
Dr, Ramone (aka Roman Schulze)
“More Info and Links”
Most, if not all, of these referenced sites are known to act as shills for the tech industry, casting doubt on any science that challenges the safety of wireless radiation.
Why didn’t Dr. Ramone (aka Roman Schulze) include the many websites that take a fair look at wireless radiation?
Questions Unanswered
Knowles’ motivation in hosting this meeting in which a one-sided, two-year window of selective and biased EMF science by Dr. Vershaere, a person with verified conflict of interest with the Telecom industry, is unknown but does clearly constitute negligence on his part. Normally, teachers care for their students and their safety is of primary importance. By giving this platform to Ramone (aka Roman Schulze), Knowles was working to influence parents and school staff and convince them that any questions as to wireless radiation being a health hazard would be put to rest and the parents could rest easy. The end result was imminent harm to the children and student body.
Jesse Knowles
What was Knowles’ interest in bringing microwave radiation into the high schools? On whose behalf did he do so?
We know that his wife, Michelle Knowles, began the Acacia Foundation for the local elementary school and worked for years fundraising for iPads that would bring wireless technology to the elementary school.
Is Dr. Ramone really Dr. Roman Schulze ?
This individual name is listed as Dr. Ramone, a “local physician,” and “active parent in the Acacia (elementary school) parent support education.” A computer search for ‘local physician,’ Dr. Ramone, comes up empty.
However, there is a Dr. Roman Schulze, then an ‘Acacia parent’, also a ‘local physician’ and married to a Ms. Michelle Garden, a woman very active in bringing wireless radiation to Acacia Elementary School. On the Fullerton Informer website, Ms. Garden has publicly stated that her husband en joyed arguing about health effects from microwave radiation exposure and that he did that “for sport.”
Thousands of kids’ health and future on the line and physician, Roman Schulze, views his participation in this critical subject matter “as sport.”
Is Dr. Ramone really Dr. Roman Schulze? It seems highly likely. If that is the case, why wouldn’t Dr. Schulze want his correct name in the documentation? Why is no author listed on the EMF-U presentation? Why would a physician not lay claim to his own work? What are the professional ethics of a physician that conveys safety on a substance when no safety assurances can be made even by the tech industry?
“Danielle” Was Likely Convinced
The copy of the EMF-U presentation has a name tag with “Danielle” and handwritten notes on two pages. We could reasonably assume that “Danielle” is Troy Assistant Principal, Danielle Kenfield.
The notes state, “cell phone, wi-fi . . . no relation to causing cancer (unlikely to cause cancer)” and “no worries.” Did Dr. Ramone’s presentation convince Kenfield that microwave radiation exposures in the classroom were not a health hazard? It seems likely. Was Troy Principal Amy Avina convinced? We do not know, but suspect that since the wireless radiation has begun to advance in our children’s school environment that she most likely was. Additionally, there has been no evidence of an outcry against wireless from either of these two and that is probably because the presentation was a dishonest portrayal.
How many parents were convinced that unprecedented, all-day microwave radiation exposures at Troy High School would be okay for their students? Was the Troy PTSA in attendance?
Why was Jesse Knowles allowed this exclusive access to address the parents and school officials, presenting them with corrupted information and science on a matter of huge significance?
Wireless Radiation Science: Ethics, integrity, morality
The study, research of unnatural EMF, microwave radiation, wireless radiation is no straightforward or easy task. In fact, embarking on this adventure the lay researcher and even the seasoned health professional soon learn that it is a bottomless pit, going back decades. The science is pulled, distorted, manipulated, destroyed, not funded, and subverted in the cleverest of ways. One must determinedly stay the course, sifting through evidence, in pursuit of truth. This is truly a labor of love, a love for humanity and truth.
Dr. Ramone appeared to lack the ethics, integrity, and morals to fairly portray the science. Ramone, even as a physician, appears to have no respect for the students or teachers, as he has effectively sold an audience that these emissions are safe. This is no more clearly conveyed than referring back to the Public Request document, with the following statement: “Dr. Ramone’s presentation expressed . . . that in fact there is no correlation between WiFi (microwave exposure) and cancer.”
Astounding. Our children’s and the teacher’s health is determined by deception and lies by a physician that appears to lack morals, ethics, and integrity. What can be said for the Knowles husband and wife team?
Perhaps, Ramone found this whole matter the same as Dr. Roman Schulze – a “sport”.
No excuse
There is no excuse for Knowles hosting Roman Schulze’s presenting one-sided, vastly limited in scope, and corrupted science to the parents. One can readily come to the conclusion that the intent was to deceive them.
Many experts will cite the Precautionary Principal, stating that there is no consensus of science but there is a need to err on the side of caution. That would mean to wire the technology and not take the chance with people’s health.
Why didn’t Ramone apply the Precautionary Principal and err on the side of caution for the kids? Why did Jesse Knowles and his wife Michelle Knowles continue to support and run the Acacia Foundation as it simultaneously raised funds for wireless devices to be brought into the elementary school in the neighborhood?
What is at stake?
The stakes couldn’t be higher. The health, well-being, and future of 15,000 students and teachers is on the line.
Refer to the countless sources referenced in the Demand Letter to Troy High School PTSA that document the health hazards:
The Truth Will Prevail
Appeal to Troy High School teacher, Mr. Jesse Knowles
It is difficult to believe that you are intentionally working to bring microwave radiation, a recognized, known health hazard to Troy High School. The evidence, however, points to that.
It is much too late for denial of the health harms of wireless radiation, as students as well as teachers are becoming sick, dying from these exposures. Lawsuits, nationally and internationally, are already in progress due to exposure in schools and other environments. Laws in other countries, provinces are being passed to remove, reduce exposures. This is starting with the very youngest, as they are the most vulnerable. Schools that have installed wireless are looking for ways to quietly ‘walk it back’ and reduce/remove wireless radiation and, at the same time, limit their financial liability.
Recently a parent of a child in Jesse Knowle’s class forwarded several letters, studies and scientific information on the hazards of microwave radiation to him and HE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE HAD RECEIVED IT.
The lawsuits will continue and schools will continue to pull back and, ultimately, remove wireless radiation.
Every student and teacher has the right to a safe and healthy school environment. We are looking to you, Mr. Knowles, to right the wrong that you have actively participated in creating.
For the health and well being of the students and your fellow teachers at Troy High School Jesse Knowles must:
- Immediately work to remove existing wireless infrastructure at Troy; students should not have to be irradiated in order to receive an education.
- Actively spread the message by educating students and fellow teachers of the “emerging public health crisis”, leading to premature death, and DNA damage and as expressed by over 200 international scientists in an Appeal to the U.N. and World Health Organization.
- Work to develop curriculum, programs for teens advising them on the least hazardous method of handling wireless devices.
It is time for unwinding the damage, it is time for defending the defenseless and to stop yielding students’ and teachers’ health and well being to outside interests.
Truth Will Prevail Indeed
Unconscionable behavior by our Fullerton City Council, Fullerton City Attorney and the Fullerton Police Chief.
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Are they turning their backs on the children?, Pedophile protectors on the Fullerton City Council on May 19, 2017
BELOW IS THE TRANSCRIPT OF MY REMARKS BEFORE THE FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL (MAYOR BRUCE WHITAKER, COUNCIL MEMBERS GREG SEBOURN, JENNIFER FITZGERALD, JESUS SILVA AND MAYOR PRO TEM DOUG CHAFFEE) ON MAY 15, 2017 AS WELL AS SOME ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS
BY BARRY LEVINSON
Back In February I witnessed unconscionable behavior by our Fullerton City Council, Fullerton City Attorney and the Fullerton Police Chief. The behavior was to provide False And Very Misleading Information about The Fullerton Child Sex Offender Residency Restriction Law To Justify Its Repeal! This False Narrative Lead By City Attorney James Touchstone Demonstrated A Lack Of Character By Him And All Who Played Along With This Charade.
Fullerton City attorney James Touchstone
I Am Here To Proclaim Very Loudly That Character Does Count And Not One Individual On The Dais That Evening Demonstrated Any Character! Months ago they knew the facts but ignored them and went ahead anyway. They were warned. See this video below.
Whether you happen to agree with their votes or not, it is never good for the public to have elected and appointed officials who mislead, misinform and sometimes out and out lie to us. Diane Hickey, Joe Imbriano and myself clearly documented on the record here in this chamber that the erroneous information City Attorney James Touchstone spelled out as part of an official presentation to council recommending the repeal of Ordinance 3149 was indeed false. He stated erroneously that the ordinance impacts all sex offenders when the ordinance clearly defines a sex offender as only a child sex offender for purposes of this law.
Here we are months later and still the Fullerton City Council continues to protect the pedophiles and refuses to acknowledge that the official presentation by our city attorney months back on this issue was based on falsehood. What does that tell you about the integrity, honesty and decency of our city council, police chief and our city attorney?
Council person Doug Chaffee”s actions certainly indicate a desire to help protect pedophiles over the safety of our children
Council person Jesus Silva’s actions certainly indicate a desire to help protect pedophiles over the safety of our children
Council person Bruce Whitaker’s actions certainly indicate a desire to help protect pedophiles over the safety of our children
Police Chief Heinig on the right’s actions certainly indicate a desire to help protect pedophiles over the safety of our children
Council person Greg Sebourn’s actions certainly indicate a desire to help protect pedophiles over the safety of our children. What a guy who thinks it ok to cancel an agenda item when the presenter is at the podium.
Vice President of Curt Pringle and associates Jennifer Fitzgerald.’s actions certainly indicate a desire to help protect pedophiles over the safety of our children. She has had to recuse herself because one of her clients got a big payday from the Fullerton City Council.
Fullerton City Attorney Dick Jones’s actions certainly indicate a desire to help protect pedophiles over the safety of our children. Check him out dozing while making big bucks. Could anybody look more disinterested that he?
After we proved that Mr. Touchstone provided false information to the council in support of his recommendation to repeal Ordinance 3149, every city council member ignored that fact and voted to repeal the ordinance, anyway. They in fact by not acknowledging James Touchstone’s egregious error, chose to be part of the deception. Touchstone’s failure to acknowledge his error after we corrected him strongly suggests that it was not an error at all but an intentional ploy/conspiracy to mislead the public on this very important issue. What has City Attorney Dick Jones done in regard to this misinformation given by his partner in his law firm? As far as I know absolutely nothing! This whole scenario is shameless behavior by our City of Fullerton Government and can’t be tolerated going forward.
I can’t for certain claim that each and every one of those individuals will be held to account by the Fullerton public. But what I can say is that God will in fact judge them for their ethical and moral failings as our elected and appointed Fullerton officials.
The only thing I can add to my prepared remarks that i presented at the public comment section of the Fullerton City Council meeting on May 15, 2017 is the following:
We the good people of Fullerton must stand up to demand form our city council and city government, integrity, honesty and representation that only considers the overall well-being of the citizens of Fullerton.
This must include coming regularly to city council meetings and making your voices heard by those who are supposed to represent us the people.
A VERY NECESSARY AND EXTREMELY IMPORTANT OPEN LETTER TO MAYOR BRUCE WHITAKER’S EMAIL RESPONSE TO JOE IMBRIANO BY JOE IMBRIANO AND BARRY LEVINSON
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Bruce Whitaker, Fullerton politics, FULLERTON PRAVDA, Greg Sebourn, Jesus Silva, Pedophile protectors on the Fullerton City Council on May 18, 2017
| receive and file issue |
Well it is obvious Mayor Whitaker that you should have known that the Milliman actuarial consultant was in attendance at the May 15, 2017 Fullerton City Council meeting because it was highlighted as the first sentence under Agenda Item No. 5 as follows: “John Botsford of Milliman, the City’s consulting actuary, will present the City’s updated actuarial analysis of Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liabilities.” Your claim that you had no idea that the consultant was present for the council meeting is ludicrous and ridiculous on its face.
You are telling us that you didn’t even read the agenda as Mayor when in fact it is your responsibility along with the City Manager to put out the Agenda itself. What are we the good people of Fullerton to make of your statement that you did not even read the Fullerton City Council Agenda prior to your leading the city council meeting? You are either totally incompetent or not being truthful with us. There are no other legitimate explanations for your behavior and statements. Shouldn’t you, Mr. so-called Fiscal Conservative, be aware of the costs to the taxpayer to bring that high priced consultant back again after you would have probably spent a few thousand taxpayer dollars to bring him down here for the May 15th meeting already?
Greg Sebourn made the motion to send the consultant packing
When Doug Chaffee is the only voice of reason on the council, you know we are in trouble
Why would you vote to postpone an agenda item that had already cost the city possibly thousands of dollars for this May 15th meeting, which required only the council’s action to Receive and File the item? In other words really no substantial action at all! Why would Greg Sebourn make a motion to postpone a Receive and File item to the next meeting and all of you very quickly concur with him?
Jesus Silva pondering the facts
In all cases when a motion to postpone an agenda item is being considered it should be necessary at the absolute minimum for that council member making that motion to explain why it is necessary to postpone the agenda item, especially at the very last moment as was the case here. The way this was handled was totally derelict by all of you. It demonstrated that you did not care about the great inconvenience you were willing to put the consultant and those Fullerton residents that were at the meeting or at home staying up to that late hour to hear this agenda item. We say shame on all of you for trying to avoid an agendized issue that obviously was embarrassing for all of you. Once again your action shows your complete disregard for the public.
Mayor Whitaker, you even added insult to injury by trying to skip public comments on this issue. How many times have you been mayor, Mr. Whitaker? We believe this is at least your third time. You keep on digging a bigger and bigger hole for yourself and it would take a Houdini like effort to now dig yourself out of this in our opinion.
You claim you quickly reversed the decision? No the city employee had to correct you and point out that it would be a great burden for this person to come down from the Bay Area and present at a later date. Not to mention your silence on the increased cost to the taxpayer by the councils original vote to postpone the item. He was there I assume based on your requested date and time. You have embarrassed yourself with this action and people who are paying attention will have plenty to discuss between now and the next election about your failings and we intend to lead those discussions.
The people of Fullerton more and more know the games you play. It is becoming a more and more common event for you and your fellow council members to mislead and or not to provide proper information on the important subjects we are dealing with. 
We are also confused why David Curlee, Josh Ferguson and Tony Bushala, all present at the meeting had nothing to say on this item? They are people that highlight financial issues and they were all completely silent on a 35 million dollar unfunded liability. David Curlee and yourself have made it a point to discuss the propriety of $300/$400 a night city employee hotel bills in the recent past, yet now not a peep from either of you on a 35 million dollar unfunded Fullerton liability that will be have to come from us the taxpayers.
Finally, Greg Sebourn states that he will put on the agenda a discussion on having the city attempt to get a refund from the staircase contractor for obvious shoddy and substandard workmanship. Yet Sebourn never actually made a motion to get this on the agenda for the next meeting or for any meeting for that matter. Was this just political grandstanding by Sebourn? Why as Mayor and self proclaimed fiscal conservative, Mayor Whitaker did you not make that motion yourself?
How does it feel to remain silent on false claims about our Ordinance 3149, the Child Sex Offender Residency Restriction Act and then based on those false statements repeal a very good law. When will you or any member on the Fullerton City Council dais acknowledge what we have proved that City Attorney James Touchstone provided false information to justify his recommendation to repeal the Fullerton Ordinance? You stated that your votes are all appropriate. You call basing your vote on a previously proven misstatement of fact appropriate voting? You know with regard to that, you don’t have a leg to stand on. Mayor Whitaker, the guilt and the shame of your facial expressions when Diane and we were discussing this issue was so very telling. You voted along with all of your colleagues to repeal a Fullerton law based on a faulty presentation that helped to keep our children safe from pedophiles. You have repeatedly ignored the proof and evidence we showed all of you that the justification for your actions was based on falsehoods about the status and the language of Ordinance NO; 3149. Once again we say shame on all of you. It is hard to imagine a more damning set of circumstances that you now own concerning your action to intentionally lesson the safety of our children based on information you all knew was false. Shame on all of you.
The beginning of the end of development insider Karen Halluza’s career with the City of Fullerton
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Agenda 21, The DCCSP on May 14, 2017
A little over four years ago, Barry Levinson attended a city council meeting and exposed the most corrupt development scheme in Fullerton’s entire history, THE DCCSP. The plan was to pass a blanket zoning change to 13 huge areas of the city encompassing over 100 acres of major arterial thoroughfare frontage and allow for the UNELECTED city manager instead of the elected city council and their appointed planning commissioners to have the final say on development. This would have resulted in the approval of tens of thousands of up to 10 story high density high rise housing units ruining Fullerton for ever and there would be nothing we could have done to stop it.
No need for a planner when there are no plans. Replace her with someone who can fix the roads!
The plan was crooked as hell and the morons on the planning commission approved it and served it up to the council to try to ram it through on a hot summer night in the library room with no live feed when no one was looking. The cold feet that the council had got a warm up from Barry Levinson. Yes Barry was looking, and he sure wasn’t taking this sitting down.
Well watch Barry 2 years later still fighting these dolts as Joe Felz had the gall, audacity and nerve to try to bring back this crooked development plan in pieces instead of in one giant scam.
Watch Karen Halluza’s shifty eyes as she realizes it is truly now the beginning of the end of her career with the City of Fullerton as the community development director because without this revised plan being hatched, the developers will NEVER GET WHAT THEY WANT and her services are no longer needed.
Watch Barry tell the truth about this dirty deal and watch the behavior of all the players on the planning commission with the exception of Bennett and Dunlap who didn’t vote for the DCCSP as they were not on the commission at the time. Pay close attention to the worst one of them all-Karen Halluza, the city’s handsomely paid community development director whose sole purpose was to turn Fullerton into a high density hell hole. A picture is worth a thousand words folks.
For Karen Halluza, we will only spare a few, good riddance.
THE FSD’S NEGLIGENCE REGARDING SEX OFFENDER LAWS BY BARRY LEVINSON
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Are they turning their backs on the children?, Fullerton politics on May 10, 2017
This is an indictment of the FSD leadership under Dr. Pletka. Please note that after both Joe and myself spoke at the FSD Board meeting directing our comments to Dr. Pletka, he as well as the Board of Trustee members, and the other management team members present would not address our concerns as part of the official meeting and did not even have the courtesy of telling us that they would be contacting us to deal with this shortly. The arrogance of our school district leaders is very frightening and it is totally unacceptable. But Board of Trustee Member CHRIS THOMPSON did say on the record that I was full of crap after I spoke and that he would be joyous to prove me wrong. What is your problem Mr. Thompson? An apparent loose cannon about to go off at any moment.
He then proceeded in the middle of the FSD meeting to follow us out of the building and wanted to talk to me and I said I did not want to talk to him. Yet he continued coming at me very angrily and I kept on telling him to back away. Yet again he would not listen to me. I told him that I was concerned that he would hit me. He then out of the blue barraged me with epithets including calling me an Axx-Hxxx three different times and also calling me the slang words for both the male and female genitalia! What a guy? More importantly what a poor excuse for a FSD Board of Trustee member and a terrible role model for our children. It is now 4:30 PM, the next day and I have yet to hear from Dr. Pletka or anyone of his underlings to offer an apology for the outrageous and totally unacceptable behavior and gutter language uttered by Chris Thompson last night. I would also expect an honorable superintendent contacting me with assurances that a complete and accurate message will finally go out to all the parents of the district and allowing me to first make sure it is accurate as I requested previously. Yet as of this time, no communication from Dr. Pletka at all. QUESTION: Can Dr. Pletka finally do the right thing with regard to getting out the real status of the safety of our children with regard to child sex offenders or is he just hoping that his latest fiasco will just quietly go away. Well I have news for Dr. Pletka, this is not going away sir.
As awful as is the above conduct by Mr. Thompson, the most important point was the negligence by Dr. Robert Pletka in his complete failure to know the facts after I handed him the facts on a silver platter via direct emails addressed to him! I believe his actions could be construed to rise to the level of Gross Negligence. Gross Neglience definition is as follows: Carelessness, which is in reckless disregard for the safety or lives of others, and is so great it appears to be a conscious violation of other people’s rights to safely. It is more that simple inadvertence, but it is just shy of being intentionally evil. If gross negligence is found by the trier of fact (judge or jury), it can result in the award of punitive damages on top of general and special damages.
P.S. A note to all my readers that I am considering all options to hold Dr. Pletka, Chris Thompson and the entire FSD accountable for all the above.
THE COMMENTARY BELOW IS BY JOE IMBRIANO
I would like to first give credit to Barry Levinson for showing extreme patience in dealing with the FSD staff as they literally thumbed their noses at the facts that they have been REPEATEDLY provided. The city council stood down as the city attorney lied to them and repealed a solid law that protected children AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RAISED THE STAKES AND DOUBLED DOWN AS THEY PUT OUT A SECOND TEXT TO ALL PARENTS THAT IS, EGREGIOUSLY ERRONEOUS, TO SAY THE LEAST.
AFTER BARRY CLEARLY PROVIDED FACTUAL INFORMATION THAT CONFLICTS WITH THE BULL CRAP THAT THE DISTRICT PUT OUT TO THE PARENTS. THE STUDENTS ARE MORE IN HARMS WAY NOW THAN EVER BEFORE. THE LOCAL ORDINANCE THAT ACTED A S A DETERRENT TO PEDOPHILES IS GONE FOLKS .
THE FSD’S VERY OWN PRESS RELEASE PROVES THAT THE STATE LAW’S ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN CONTINUALLY WEAKENED AND, IN THE ABSENCE OF BARRY’S LAW AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, THE ONLY THING PROTECTING THE CHILDREN IS THEIR PARENTS. THE LAWS PROTECT PEDOPHILES AND THE NEGLIGENT BEHAVIOR OF THE DISTRICT IGNORING THE FACTS PUTTING OUT FALSE HOPE TO PARENTS IS UNCONSCIONABLE.
HERE IS THE PRESS RELEASE FROM THE DISTRICT

IF YOU READ THE ARTICLE THE DISTRICT WANTS YOU TO READ TO FEEL SAFE ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, THE HEADLINE SAYS-
” California loosens Jessica’s Law rules on where sex offenders can live”
WHAT KIND OF IDIOTS WORK AT THE FULLERTON SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO GET THIS ALL WRONG?
WHAT KIND OF IDIOTS ARE ON THE SCHOOL BOARD? WHAT KIND OF IDIOTS ARE ON THE CITY COUNCIL?
MORE TO COME ON THIS FOR SURE FOLKS
The Story of Paul Irish and The FPD-just another example that proves the so-called-reformation of the FPD was nothing more than an orchestrated PR plan headed by former police chief DAN HUGHES-by Barry Levinson
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Agenda 21, Paul Irish, Public safety is becoming an oxymoron, The twighlight's last gleaming on May 8, 2017
Barry Levinson
In early March 2015, Fullerton Police Corporal Paul Irish, a twenty plus year veteran, drug recognition expert with an unblemished record of service was terminated. What did he do that so upset FPD brass lead by Police Chief Danny Hughes that necessitated such severe action?
FPD’s ex chief Dan Hughes
Did he commit some heinous crime such as rape, murder or kidnapping? NO! Did he use excessive force against a member of the public? NO! Did he commit any other felony or even an alleged misdemeanor crime? NO! What got Corporal Paul Irish fired from the FPD?
He conducted an Ethics training course in early September 2014 without specifically telling his bosses that would be the topic of the training. In other words he basically got fired for teaching ethics to members of the FPD.
I could see how that topic would be taboo by a department run by the likes of one Danny Hughes. He even had the audacity to state in general terms that he was aware of past ethical breaches in the FPD. Only in the FPD or in the “Twilight Zone” could such an action take place. (Please remember that the Twilight Zone was fiction but the firing of Paul Irish was and still is reality.)
I guess real ethics and integrity teaching by a FPD officer could not and would not be tolerated by Danny Hughes.
Dan Hughes stated to a City Council member that he hates Barry Levinson and unsucessfully tried to frame Barry Levinson.
Any punishments short of dismissal were not severe enough for our former upstanding police chief. For Danny Hughes that great reformer of the FPD needed to send an internal message to all Fullerton Police Officers and staff that teaching ethics in the department and how the FPD has sometimes fallen short on that subject would result in swift termination.
The swiftness of the FPD action was startling. The very next day after the ethics training, Corporal Paul Irish was placed on administrative leave. Then four months later he received a letter from the FPD informing him that they intended to terminate his City employment and only a month after that was he indeed officially terminated from the FPD.
The Fullerton Police Department rarely acts so quickly in handing out such severe punishment. But above all else, it is apparent that the one thing Police Chief Danny Hughes can’t tolerate is ethics training and the suggestion that the FPD falls short in that area.
Ethics? … Christian ethics?
What is wrong with you Corporal Paul Irish? Why haven’t you got with the Public Relations Program that the newly reformed FPD under Police Chief Danny Hughes has no ethics problems and has absolutely no corruption? After all Acting Police Chief Dan Hughes proclaimed that to a local newspaper during an interview in January 2012.
Not even those responsible for the brutal death of Kelly Thomas were put on administrative leave as quickly as Corporal Paul Irish.
Clearly a RICO investigation by the FBI is warranted and there needs to be a takeover by the US Marshalls of our Fullerton Police Force in order to clean house and get our city police department back on the right course.
As far as the Paul Irish situation is concerned, an honest and fair city council would overrule that termination order and give Corporal Paul Irish, a twenty-year veteran his job back. For to do anything less would be a travesty of justice and just one more clear solid piece of evidence of how corrupt and dirty our FPD and our City of Fullerton still are to this very day!
The Five Alarm soda run at Stater Brothers and our Fullerton Firefighter heroes
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Agenda 21 on May 6, 2017
Fullerton just went through a budget study session and what was evidently clear to me from it all is that the Fire department in Fullerton is run and manned by professionals, professional salary and benefit negotiators. Well the cat is out of the bag that Fullerton is headed for insolvency in a matter of a few years unless we get a handle on expenses.
These heroes are gonna stick it to all of us at tax time because the only way to keep their gravy train on the tracks is to destroy everyone else’s standard of living. Yes folks, huge tax increases are coming. The need for four fire personnel on each rig on each call is questionable. What is not questionable is the multi million dollar overtime scam the Fullerton Fire department has successfully kept rolling along.
Look before you attack me for being anti public safety, remember volunteer fire departments exist all throughout the country and if they dig their heels in deep enough and double down, like they did last week at the Council meeting, we will probably end up with one anyway.
You tell me if purchasing ten 2 liter bottles of carbonated water, laced with artificial colors, brominated vegetable oil, ester of wood rosen, high fructose corn syrup, potassium sorbate, phosphoric acid, sodium benzoate and acesulfame potassium is worth hauling around these 4 million dollar rigs, parking them in the red zone, while obstructing views, blocking the road, almost causing accidents, mentally disturbing the public and of course, worst of all, taking these units out of service for over a half hour? This is an abuse of public property, public employee compensation, time and a general hazard to the public. Most of all this is totally unnecessary.
If you condone the egregious behavior by these public servants, there is little hope for you and none for this community. We are going broke fast folks. I am sure these heroes will drink to that.
