IT NEVER RAINS IN JERRY BROWN’S AGENDA 21 CALIFORNIA
Posted by Joe Imbriano in AERIAL POISONING, Agenda 21, Bruce Whitaker, Doug Chafee, Fullerton politics, FULLERTON PRAVDA, Greg Sebourn, Jennifer Fitzgerald, Jesus Silva on June 26, 2018
HERE IS A LITTLE PREDICTIVE PROGRAMMING FROM 45 YEARS AGO.
Jerry Brown signed an Agenda 21 executive order four years ago.
Not to be outdone, Jerry Brown recently signed two bills, SB 606 by Sen. Robert Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys) and AB 1668 by Assemblywoman Laura Friedman. These bills officially put the death knell to our ability to access water, AND maintain a single family home where we can grow our own food and grow our families. Of course in addition, this ensures massive tree death to pave the way for the 5G kill grid that is being rolled out all over California starting in Los Angeles by the end of the year. Trees block the millimeter wave signals that would otherwise blanket the open air prison they are setting up for the Hunger Games scenario.
IT ONLY LOGICALLY FOLLOWS THAT IT IS NOW OFFICIAL: ALL NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN FULLERTON MUST BE OFFICIALLY HALTED BECAUSE CALIFORNIA DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH WATER FOR ITS RESIDENTS.
I wonder what this woman is going to do in order to get the next round of Agenda 21 High Density stack and pack housing past the council for her boss Curt Pringle now that we are going under permanent water restrictions? Fullerton’s queen of Agenda 21 high density housing Jennifer Fitzgerald.
These new laws require cities and water districts across the state to set permanent water conservation rules, even in non-drought years. I warned the Fullerton City Council members for years about the how and the why of this. Now we are facing the ramifications of their collective cognitive dissonance.
“In preparation for the next drought and our changing environment, we must use our precious resources wisely,” Brown said in a statement. “We have efficiency goals for energy and cars – and now we have them for water.” -Jerry Brown
Bushala’s handpicked hireling Greg Seaborn wont be approving any big development projects anytime soon as he is forced to kill his lawn.
Water use Standards will be based on a formula that is made up of three main factors: an allowance of 55 gallons per person per day for indoor water use and a yet-to-be determined amount for residential outdoor use that will vary depending on regional climates; and a standard for water loss due to leak rates in water system pipes.
Bushala’s other handmaiden developer tool. Bruce Whitaker believes property rights mean no restrictions on development. That is why Tony Bushala spent hundreds of thousands of dollars getting his cronies stacked up on the council. The prospects of more high density in Fullerton are looking bleak.
There are now no options for development because years of drought have created a nightmare for residents as they will be forced to limit their water usage to 55 gallons per person by 2020. There is no water for the build it and they will come crowd. The geo engineering agenda has come to fruition.
For years I have been warning people about the reason for the drought and how it all ties into Agenda 21. We have arrived.
Sex Ed Silva’s husband Fullerton councilman Jesus Silva who stands for nothing and falls for anything has some homework to do. He will be reeling from his study on Title 23 any day now.
SO THE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION ASIDE FROM WHERE THE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS MISSING FROM FULLERTON’S ROAD REPAIR COFFERS WENT IS HOW THEY CAN EVEN CONSIDER TURNING THE KIMBERLY CLARK PROPERTY INTO EIGHT THOUSAND APARTMENTS WHEN WE ARE OUT OF WATER?
Mayor Doug Chaffee can;t figure that out and yet he wants to be your county supervisor.
THE 100 MILLION DOLLAR ANSWER IS A FORENSIC AUDIT OF THE CITY’S FINANCES BY AN OUTSIDE, INDEPENDENT AUDITING FIRM AND A COMPLETE MORATORIUM ON ALL NEW HIGH DENSITY HOUSING PROJECTS UNTIL THESE LAWS ARE REPEALED.
This is only one of many reasons to NOT VOTE for phony BRUCE WHITAKER for State Senate and to NOT VOTE for phony DOUG CHAFFEE for Orange Country Supervisor

Our Fullerton City Council Accepted Totally False Information from A Presentation Given By Our City Attorney Office To Be Used Specifically To Repeal a Law A Year Ago February (Ordinance No 3149) That Helped To Protect Our Children From Disgusting Child Sex Offenders! It Does Not Get Any More Vile And Disgusting Than That Piece of Information!
What do you call elected officials that ignore when an official presentation by their own city attorney’s office is false? You call them Mayor Doug Chaffee, Council members Bruce Whitaker, Jennifer Fitzgerald, Greg Sebourn and Jesus Silva.
Question: Why would a proven lie about which sex offenders are covered (all sex offenders in California’s Jessica’s Law vs. only Child Sex Offenders in the former Fullerton City Ordinance, No. 3149) be allowed to stand without not one person on the Fullerton City Council dais acknowledging the falsehood presented by City Attorney James Touchstone? Touchstone erroneously stated that Ordinance No. 3149 covered all sex offenders, which is a blatant falsehood. It covered CHILD SEX OFFENDERS ONLY! At that time there had been no California court that ruled against residence restrictions for only child sex offenders. Why would they not correct the record when I pointed it out to them at council real time, prior to making a decision to rescind that ordinance based largely on that proven falsehood?
I say specifically to BRUCE WHITAKER our Mayor at the Time (and now running for the State Senate) and Council member Doug Chaffee (now running for Orange County Supervisor), CHARACTER COUNTS. Not one person on the dais including the City Attorney Dick Jones, nor our Interim Police Chief acknowledged the egregious error/lie. When an egregious error from our city attorney in an official presentation to council is brought to the attention of our city leaders, and they ignore correcting it, one could easily conclude that the error was in fact intentional. The fact that not one of the council members responded to me leads one to believe their was collusion on this issue, a clear Brown Act violation. So Dick Jones our City Attorney not only ignored the fact that his partner in his law firm Jones and Mayer, James Touchstone misinformed the public with his false presentation and then Jones refused to acknowledge that error but also apparently ignored a very likely Brown Act violation.
Their actions potentially made our kids less safe by siding with a formerly convicted sex offender who filed lawsuits against 17 municipalities in California. The fact that our law was much more specific on who it impacted and covered was something that our city wanted not only to desperately ignore but to attempt to fool the public as well in the process. These are the actions of morally bankrupt elected and appointed officials and they should be roundly condemned for their scurrilous actions.
If you remember one thing come next election day, it is the above charade carried out by our City of Fullerton government at the expense of our children’s safety. With the knowledge what our entire city council did above, I know all of you will do the right thing and kick their corrupt, morally bankrupt backsides out of office permanently.
This is only one of many reasons to NOT VOTE for phony BRUCE WHITAKER for State Senate and to NOT VOTE for phony DOUG CHAFFEE for Orange Country Supervisor. Do not vote for these two poor excuses for elected representatives, when they knowingly accepted false information to vote for pedophiles and against the safety of all of our children.
I think my readership from outside Southern California must be in total shock to find out that our Fullerton City Council on a 5 to 0 vote, sided with convicted child sex offenders over the protection of our children. The Fullerton Law which my wife Susan and I pushed for in 2010 gave penalties to a state wide referendum known as Jessica’s Law passed in 2006 with over 70% of the vote that restricted all Sex Offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school or park. The law I championed and got passed in 2010 did the same with penalties but only for CHILD SEX OFFENDERS. Now two of them that repealed this very good law, want to be rewarded with promotions: Bruce Whitaker running for State Senate and Doug Chaffee running for Orange County Supervisor. Chaffee told us repeatedly that he will not run again for City Council and being in his mid 70’s almost all of us assumed that meant his retirement from politics. Now we learn his wife is running for the 5th District Seat for Fullerton City council even though she has lived in the 2nd District for the last 15 to 20 years. Send a very clear and loud message that Bruce Whitaker and Doug Chaffee need to be removed from elected office as soon as possible and do not deserve promotions. They are all looking for more power, hundred thousand dollar plus paychecks for part-time work and huge pensions to boot. All for supporting the rights of convicted pedophiles over the safety of our children.
I report, you decide.

THIS ARTICLE IS DIRECTED TO FULLERTON MAYOR DOUG CHAFFEE WHO DESERVES TO GO TO HELL; COUNCIL MEMBER JENNIFER FITZGERALD WHO HAD TO ADD HER PHONY PR STATEMENT AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF MERCY HOUSE, LARRY HAYNES WHO WAS UNFORTUNATELY LESS THAN CANDID WITH THE GOOD PEOPLE OF FULLERTON!

I watched this wife and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Sharma tell their family’s incredibly scary story and I could not believe the inhuman, insensitive and uncaring treatment by Fullerton Mayor and OC Supervisor want a be Doug Chaffee. Mrs. Sharma was very distraught, yet the Mayor cut her off before she could finish her story because she had gone over her allotted three minutes of time.
Apparently the Mayor was more concerned that the meeting end a few minutes earlier for him than with this woman’s heart breaking story and making sure that the city takes proper and complete action to make it more unlikely that it would every happen again. Doug Chaffee is a poor excuse for a human being. He now incredulously wants to be our OC Supervisor. To quote you Mayor Chaffee….”YOUR TIME IS UP!!!! Joe Imbriano calls Doug Chaffee the Mayor from Hell. Well Joe I do not know if that is where he comes from but I can assure you that Mayor Doug Chaffee will at the end of his life end up in HELL and Deservedly So!!
The arrogant, pompous Doug Chaffee gave this distraught mother 260 SECONDS to attempt to tell her frightening story about what transpired and how both EV Free and Mercy House had some responsibly for apparently violating the city code for dealing with the homeless. Doug Chaffee said at the end that the daughter needs medical i.e. psychiatric help. How about you Mayor Doug Chaffee enforce the city code on EV Free and Mercy House? How about you do your F-ing job? Unfortunately, he was in too much of a rush to get home a few minutes earlier by cutting off this distraught woman. I remember not to long ago when ex-council member Jan Flory got up to speak during public comments and the council members, many the same as today gave her well over 10 minutes to go on and on and on! They only enforce the rules when members of the public who are not their buddies get up to speak no matter how important the topic as was the case here! Chaffee is a pompous, arrogant, unfeeling, insensitive piece of garbage who is much more concerned about how much time is given to a Fullerton citizen then actually making sure this failure by Mercy House, EV Free and the City of Fullerton does not happen again!! Remember this atrocious behavior by Doug Chaffee who is running for OC Supervisor when you go to vote for that position later this year!
Could it be that Doug Chaffee who is a big supporter of Mercy House did not want to hold them accountable for their apparent failure to run a homeless shelter within the rules for shelters of the City of Fullerton? Want to hear a really good joke? This poor excuse for a Mayor and a human being now wants to be our next OC Supervisor! You got to be kidding us!!
Her husband told Mayor Chaffee that it was unfortunate that he cut off his wife’s comments. In response Mayor Chaffee stated “we extended the time well beyond” the 3 minutes allotted to her. Well I went back to the video Mr. Mayor and I guess your definition to going well beyond the allotted 3 minutes is to give her a whopping additional 80 seconds to tell her very important story. I do not know how many tens of hours of comments others and I have had to endure about your various vacation trips or which function you and your wife attended. All of that is such self-serving drivel. But when it comes to something really important you gave her an additional 80 SECONDS! How incredibly magnanimous of you Mr. Mayor!
Council member Jennifer Fitzgerald as usual was as phony as a three-dollar bill. It is not her fault really; because it is the only way she knows how to deal with the Fullerton public. She made this PR statement after all the public speakers had spoken for the evening. She said as follows: “I want to say to the Sharma’s how sorry I am that this happened to you and your family and um to your neighbors who came. It really is obviously um awkward for us up here, I mean we have, we do have a protocol we follow with 3 minutes of speakers speaking on public comments.” She goes on to state “We don’t get into discussions with people who come up during public comment”.
Jennifer Fitzgerald became Vice President of Curt Pringle & Associates only after her election to the council
Why don’t you Council member Fitzgerald respond to people with city issues especially when it deals with our safety It is your choice to ignore us at the podium Council member Fitzgerald. It is more than just awkward for the public who you and your cohorts choose to ignore us. I have seen many instances when someone has praised the council and you respond to them all the time. Like I said Jennifer Fitzgerald is as phony as a 3-dollar bill. The only restraint you have as a council member Ms. Fitzgerald is talking about an upcoming scheduled agenda item. You could have spoken to this issue to your hearts content if you really wanted to serve the people. But we both know that is not why you sit on that dais Ms. Fitzgerald.
Jennifer Fitzgerald became Vice President of Curt Pringle & Associates only after her election to the council
The Executive Director of Mercy House sounded very sincere and I do not mean to ignore the good works his organization does in the community. However, he must be totally honest with Fullertonians when it comes to a situation like the one disuccsed above. Unfortunately, he was not entirely forthcoming with his statements. He stated as follows: “I can’t prevent human movement.” Yet it is my understanding that your non-profit along with EV Free picked up these homeless from Santa Ana and dropped them off in Fullerton. So Mr. Larry Haynes you did in fact have a lot of control as to where these homeless people were the day and night in question because it was your group that brought them into our community sir. Mr. Sharma also stated that to run a homeless shelter in Fullerton you are required to find the homeless another place if you turn them away. You did not follow that rule and according to Mr. Sharma you failed to follow other rules as well. This is in your purview sir and certainly not out of your control. So when you all stop doing your PR cover-up, it would be very appropriate if you would at the very least actually run your homeless shelter within the rules the City of Fullerton has laid out for you and that the City of Fullerton actually enforce those rules. Isn’t that a novel idea Fullertonians? It would be appropriate if before you made the decision to pick up the homeless from other locations and then bring them into our city that you attempted to do some kind of background check of those people. It would be nice that once you brought them here that you had some responsibility for their whereabouts and their actions. Mr. Sharma indicated that EV Free has security guards to assist them with dealing with the homeless. It shows that they have real concerns for their own safety. It is a darn shame that they apparently do not have the same level of concern for their fellow Fullertonians. That is NOT the definition of a Good Neighbor!
One more point about Mercy House. I pulled up their website and I learned that there one member of the organization, James Brooks who is their Orange County Program Director, Emergency Services and also on their Board of Directors. That very much appears to be a conflict of interest and I will ask Mr. Haynes to explain why this person has this dual role.
Everyone who spoke from the City of Fullerton and those responsible for the shelter, i.e. Mercy House and EV Free took no real responsibility at the last council meeting. And saying your sorry without taking responsibility and without taking real steps to ensure that this is much less likely to occur again is just a bunch of empty words. We demand that such organizations such as EV Free and Mercy House do more than come to our Fullerton City Council with words that amounts to not much more than CYA’s in my humble opinion! Finally, we expect that the City of Fullerton take action against these organizations when they fail to live up to the City Codes for running a homeless shelter. You noticed that none of the above was specifically dealt with or addressed during the council meeting.
And to the Sharma family and to all families in Fullerton, I SAY WE DESERVE BETTER FROM OUR CITY GOVERNMENT AND FROM OUR NON-PROFIT INSTITUTIONS.
PS: Council member’s Bruce Whitaker’s comments after all the public comments were over and he was asked by Mayor Chaffee if he had anything to say at this time were as follows: “Not at this time Mr. Mayor.” Once again Bruce Whitaker displayed his total lack of courage to speak out about the most important issues facing the good people of Fullerton. What a guy! What a poor example of leadership Whitaker displayed by being as quiet as a church mouse!
THE FREE FALL OF COUNCIL MEMBER BRUCE WHITAKER’S STATE SENATE CAMPAIGN LED TO HIS LOOSING THE CRA ENDORSEMENT TO NEWCOMER GEORGE SHEN By Barry Levinson
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Bruce Whitaker, Bruce Whitaker.com on April 17, 2018
Barry Levinson
What is the current result of all my hard work documenting the many failures of Council member Bruce Whitaker’s Fullerton City Council career? It was the California Republican Assembly’s rejection of his attempt to gain the CRA’s endorsement of his candidacy for the State Senate Seat from the 29th District on April 14, 2018. Instead the CRA endorsement went to newcomer George Shen with at least a two thirds majority on the very first ballot.
CRA was not too long ago a hot bed of Bruce Whitaker support…. the oldest and some would say the most conservative Republican organization in the State of California. Not only did he fail to get the endorsement but he snubbed our members by stating he could not attend due to some undisclosed scheduling conflict. He could have easily sent a representative to talk on his behalf. This happens all the time. Yet Whitaker chose not to do this either.
SHOULD READ PROTECTING ILLEGAL ALIENS AND CORRUPTION IN FULLERTON
An organization that he used to virtually own based on his past level of support does not even get an appearance from a man seeking our endorsement. Why? Well you do not have to look any further than two members of the Fullerton CRA Chapter, Joe Imbriano and yours truly, the President of the Fullerton chapter. The man who claims he is running to stamp out Sacramento corruption can’t garner enough courage to face two of his local detractors. Cowardice just reached a new level for one Bruce Whitaker. No one will ever make a real difference in Sacramento without a backbone.
Now that his dwindling chances to win this Senate seat has been dealt another severe and most likely fatal blow, we must fight on to make sure that come November 2020 that he is voted off the Fullerton City Council. A politician that was all talk and no action has wasted eight precious years accomplishing virtually nothing. He had such a golden opportunity to make a real difference but in the end he just took up space and sucked up air on the Fullerton City Council dais.
Congratulations to George Shen who won the CRA endorsement for the 29th State Senate District seat. He was the only Republican candidate brave enough and caring enough to speak to us prior to our endorsement vote. Obviously a two thirds majority liked what he had to say to us and appreciated his appearance before our group.
Below I am counting the many ways that Council Member Bruce Whitaker has failed the good people of Fullerton as follows:
1. Bruce Whitaker abstained from voting for a Receive and File motion concerning April 3, 2018 Agenda Item No. 3 entitled “Consideration Of Support For The Department Of Justice Lawsuit Against the State Of California Regarding Sanctuary City Laws”. Whitaker did this about face right after he spoke about his support for the lawsuit and the federal governments authority to deal with immigration. Below is Council member Bruce Whitaker’s key statements as follows:
“Since immigration is predominately and really entirely a federal jurisdiction, it leads me to lean in that direction, to lean in the direction of at least to preserving the federal government’s right to enforce immigration law.”
Whitaker continued: “But as far as being pressed into having to make a call on this, my lean is too support the federal attempts to make California as a border state comply with at least the minimum requirements of immigration law.”
Whitaker goes on to state: “There is more than a little bit of partisanship at play here and there is more than a little bit of political one-upmanship and the tactics of labeling and to shout down people from the other side of the situation. I will not be cowered by those tactics.”
Bruce Whitaker was a total sellout and proved beyond any shadow of a doubt not to be a man of his word. He proved in my opinion that whatever comes out of his mouth should never be taken seriously. He in fact proved himself to be a worthless, spineless, cowardly, self-serving politician who betrayed his own position in the blink of an eye.
This historic betrayal by Republican Bruce Whitaker, a self-proclaimed Constitutional Conservative must be forever remembered by all of you.
How could anyone ever trust him with his or her votes again? I for one will never support him again.
When a politician’s word literally means absolutely nothing, trust has been forever broken between the people they serve and themselves.
Does anyone after all this documentation, still believe that Bruce Whitaker is the right person to serve us in Sacramento from the 29th Senate District?
For this alone Bruce Whitaker’s political career deserves to be ended as soon as possible. That means that you do not vote for Bruce Whitaker for California State Senate for the 29th Senate District or for another term as Fullerton Council member (if he chooses to run). But there is so much more compelling factual information that supports we the voters ending once and for all the political career of one Bruce Whitaker as follows:
2. Bruce Whitaker voted to place Ma’Ayn Johnson, a S.C.A.G. senior planner to our Fullerton Planning Committee. S.C.A.G, the Southern California Association of Governments, has been pushing for high-rise, high-density development and the elimination of the automobile as agents of the United Nations Agenda 21 for decades. S.C.A.G is the largest unelected, taxpayer funded, governmental agency in the country and so-called limited government, Bruce Whitaker voted for her to be on our Fullerton Planning Commission when he himself stated there were 17 well-qualified candidates. This from a politician who claims to be for limited government. So what does total phony politician Bruce Whitaker do but vote for someone who is part of an unelected government body? That Fullertonians is taxation without representation. That goes against the principles of a constitutional republic. His wife incredulously stated sometime after this vote by Whitaker that he is against S.C.A.G. Whitaker to this day has never explained why he voted for a senior planner working for S.C.A.G. What a guy! What a phony politician!
3. Bruce Whitaker refused to respond verbally or in writing to my (Barry Levinson’s) extremely well documented analysis of a 4 to 5 million-dollar finding concerning the Fullerton Golf Course. I am a trained auditor with an MBA and work experience with Ernst and Young, a worldwide CPA firm as well as 12 years as an Internal auditor at the Corporate Headquarters of Northrop Grumman Corporation. I have a total of 35 years of accounting and auditing experience ignored by Council member Bruce Whitaker who appointed me not once but twice to the Parks and Recreation Committee, (which had oversight on the Fullerton Municipal Golf Course). There is absolutely no good reason why Council member Whitaker ignored the Fullerton Golf Course issue. But the reason he removed me is simple. I was apparently getting in the way of the city doing its corrupt, phony deals. I am referring to deals such as the DCCSP, College Town, the Summit House lease extension, and the Revised DCCSP (which would have also removed Polly’s Pies from its current long-time address and basically removed one of the few shopping centers in the eastern part of Fullerton). What a guy! What a phony politician!
4. Bruce Whitaker voted to repeal our Pedophile Residency Restriction Ordinance based on false information that the Fullerton law restricted all sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school, park or licensed day-care center provided by City Attorney James Touchstone. In my public comments I made the point that our law specifically applies to only child sex offenders, not all sex offenders. The only negative court decisions related to laws that restricted all sex-offenders. There was no case law against our much narrower Fullerton law, which impacted only child sex offenders.
Mr. Touchstone in presenting this agenda item to the Fullerton City Council took exception with my comments. He stated as follows:
“With respect, I must disagree with Mr. Levinson and his comments. Specifically, I am looking at the language before you right now of the municipal; code and it states that any sex offender is prohibited from residing within 2,000 feet of any school, park or day care center.” What Touchstone who helped write the law failed to tell the city council members was the definition of sex offender provided by the ordinance at 7.150.020H of the Fullerton Municipal Code is as follows:
“Sex offender means any person required by law to register with government entity as a sex offender for an offense against or involving a child or children, including, but not limited to, the California Sex Offender Registration Act, Penal Code Section 290, et seq.”
Mayor Bruce Whitaker ignored my comments completely and the Fullerton City Council never acknowledged the correction that I brought forth. But more importantly the city council voted at the second hearing for the ordinance to make it law with a unanimous vote again after I proved the City Attorney’s presentation was fatally flawed. Bruce Whitaker and the rest of the city council should be ashamed of themselves to allow a complete and proven falsehood to be used as an excuse to repeal a very important law for the protection of all our children from pedophiles. What kind of a guy allows false information from our City Attorney to be used to support the repeal of a law helping to protect children? The answer is Mayor Bruce Whitaker and the rest of the city council members. What a guy! What a phony and unethical politician!
5. Bruce Whitaker in a November 2014 council meeting stated that there was absolutely no evidence to support the charges brought against me by former Police Chief Dan Hughes. At that meeting Dan Hughes admitted that he could hate that guy (referring to me) and that he took total control of the investigation himself. When was the last time that any police chief took total control of an investigation including contacting people to interview them and then write the police report to the OC District Attorney recommending that they prosecute me? The answer is probably never or at least never in an honest police department. All this time the city, i.e. the police department would not make public the video camera tape where this so-called incident took place. A few weeks after the OCDA refused to charge me with a crime for lack of evidence, the city video was made public and it showed that no crime, no incident took place. Yet after a few others and I asked Bruce Whitaker and the rest of the council to open up an independent investigation on this matter, Whitaker and the rest of the council totally ignored our requests. What kind of a man acknowledges that the police chief’s attempt to railroad me into jail certainly to him appeared to be entirely political payback and yet drops the matter totally? Well that kind of a weak, cowardly man is none other than California 29thSenate District candidate Bruce Whitaker. The fact that he still sits on the Fullerton City council dais is shameful enough but to now want a huge promotion after the shameful way he has handled himself is something only an extremely arrogant, self-center phony politician could do with a straight face. What a guy! What a phony politician!
6. Bruce Whitaker voted for the absolute worst redistricting map, which I call the high-density, high-rise developers and downtown nightclub owners’ map. It is the only map presented to the council that basically disenfranchises the good people who live in and around the downtown area of Fullerton. Rather than being in primarily one district, Popoff’s map divides our downtown residents into five small pieces attached to other neighborhoods throughout Fullerton. This is taxation without adequate representation. Jeremy Popoff, the owner of the Downtown Fullerton Slidebar and a $1,500 contributor to Bruce Whitaker’s past campaigns, wrote this map. Is this a coincidence or not? What a guy! What a phony politician!
7. Bruce Whitaker voted to make Jennifer Fitzgerald our Mayor almost guaranteeing her to be reelected with the help of the title Mayor on the ballot. I bring this up because so very often in speaking with me he stated how much he disagreed with so many of Council member Fitzgerald’s votes. What a guy! What a phony politician!
8. The Agenda item to extend an existing Summit House Restaurant lease deal, which sits on Fullerton City Park land was shameful. The Summit House, not the city already controlled options with the exact same terms including lease revenue to the city to the year 2041. In other words the Summit House was in the drivers seat until the year 2041 or 26 years from the date of this agenda item. But the Summit House wanted more and our totally inept and/or corrupt city council and city manager wanted to give them two additional 10-year lease extensions with the exact same terms all the way to October 2061.
This meant that the city council intentionally bypassed the Park and Recreation Committee for this important agenda issue. I was the only speaker at public comments to point out how the city manager and the city council wrongly bypassed the Park and Recreation Committee. Based on my bringing this failure by the city to the attention of all that night, it resulted in it supposedly going back to our committee for its recommendation before it went to council. Guess what, a little over a month later I learned that the agenda item was withdrawn by the Summit House Restaurant owner.
Question: Would any reasonable businessman leasing out property accept extending a lease with the same current terms for the next 46 years? Why didn’t Bruce Whitaker inform me as his appointee to the Park and Recreation Committee, that this agenda item had wrongly bypassed the Park and Recreation Committee by the city?
Question: Was Bruce Whitaker part of this plan to bypass the P and R Committee? If not, why did he not contact me as his appointee to that committee when he received his council member agenda package several days in advance. The agenda package clearly stated that the lease extension was recommended by the Park and Recreation Department and not the Park and Recreation Committee, which is the normal procedure. What a guy! What a phony politician!
9. Late last year, Bruce Whitaker complained about having to vote on a grant application due to a fast approaching deadline that had not yet been actually filled out by the city. I spoke at the very next city council meeting and informed Whitaker and the rest of the council that all they had to do to solve this problem permanently was to make it mandatory that staff present agenda items not at the last minute but rather at least 2 meetings prior to any deadline. In this way any information absent could be provided by the next meeting assuring that the council and the public had all the information necessary to make a fully informed decision. You would think that every council member especially Bruce Whitaker would be thrilled to finally have a permanent solution to an ongoing problem. But neither Council member Whitaker nor any other council members ever referred to my very easy and quick solution. I have to surmise that Bruce Whitaker’s objection to a grant application without it being filled out was just political gamesmanship to win some points with his constituents. For if he was serious about fixing the ongoing problem he would have pounced on my easy solution immediately. No he ignored my suggestion completely. How sad it is when our politicians are exposed for what they all too often are, which are totally phony self-centered individuals. What a guy! What a phony politician!
10. Just a few short month’s ago as Mayor he led a unanimous vote to appoint David Hendricks our next Fullerton Police Chief. Forty percent of the council was absent that night but Whitaker led the charge to appoint him nevertheless. This shows the arrogance of Whitaker and the council to not wait until all were present to hear all the comments by the public about Hendricks prior to making their final decision. That vote with only 60% of the council present should have never taken place. Yet Whitaker allowed it to happen on his watch as Mayor. I guess we can conclude that this was just another of one of his mental lapses concerning his fiduciary responsibility to his constituents. What a guy! What a phony politician!
11. Whitaker takes no responsibility for all of his political failures. When confronted with the facts that except for legalizing fireworks he has accomplished nothing in his 7 plus years of service, his lame answer is always the same. His answer to these legitimate critiques is that he is only 1 person out of 5 on the dais. What he fails to tell us that Bruce Whitaker has been part of the majority as a Republican the entire time he has represented Fullerton. In fact, he has had either a 4 to 1 majority or a 3 to 2 majority the entire time of his service. Yet now he wants to represent us in the State Senate where he will be one voice out of dozens and his party will be a small minority not the majority he has had for all his time on the Fullerton City Council dais.
12. To those who believed and trusted Bruce Whitaker to represent us honestly based on his many years of his pontificating fiscally conservative values and limited government solutions, he has let us all down. He had such a golden opportunity to make a real difference in our City and instead especially over the past 2 years he decided to place politics and his own ambition in front of the needs of the people he swore to represent.
Concluding Remarks:
With all this factual documentation showing Bruce Whitaker’s actions goes against his so-called constitutional, limited government philosophy, any good conservative would be betraying our cause for transparent, honest conservative leadership by casting a vote for him. The only smart move by the electorate and by the CRA is to not ignore all the facts that I have presented in this article. His turning his back on his most loyal supporters can’t and should not be rewarded with a large promotion. You have let us down big time Council member Bruce Whitaker and hopefully now you will have to pay a political price for your phony political choices and your lack of leadership.
We have now come to learn that the image is so, so different than reality. All of the above examples prove Bruce Whitaker’s betrayal of his so-called constitutional conservative, limited government philosophy. Anyone objective enough to absorb the facts presented here now knows that the reality falls far short from the carefully cultivated image.
Let me state for the record that anyone who decides to vote for Bruce Whitaker with the “lesser of two evils” argument is only fooling themselves. A public servant who in my opinion is deceptive, disingenuous and repeatedly fails to follow his own supposed principles does not deserve your vote.
A Few Final Questions For The 29th State Senate District Voters As Follows:
1. How in good conscience could any parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle vote for a man, Bruce Whitaker who allowed proven false information about a Fullerton ordinance to be justification to repeal a very good law protecting Fullerton children from pedophiles?
2. How in good conscience can any voter support Bruce Whitaker who repeatedly has failed to stand up to Fullerton City corruption over a 7 plus year period while on the Fullerton City Council? Yet now he has the unmitigated gall to base his campaign on pledging to get rid of corruption in Sacramento.
3. How in good conscience could anyone in the 29th California Senate District now cast his or her precious vote for a man who makes a mockery of the very things he has told us he stands for time and time again over his too long and not very distinguished political career?
Fullerton Council Member Bruce Whitaker And Fullerton Council Member Greg Sebourn Both Incredibly Caused Their Own Political Obituaries On April 3, 2018 At The Fullerton City Council. By Barry Levinson

Here are the pertinent quotes of Fullerton City Council member Bruce Whitaker during the discussion on Agenda Item No. 3 entitled “Consideration Of Support For The Department Of Justice Lawsuit Against The State Of California Regarding Sanctuary City Laws”.
“Since immigration is predominately and really entirely a federal jurisdiction, it leads me to lean in that direction, to lean in the direction of at least to preserving the federal government’s right to enforce immigration law.”
Whitaker continues: “But as far as being pressed into having to make a call on this, my lean is too support the federal attempts to make California as a border state comply with at least the minimum requirements of immigration law.”
Whitaker goes on to state: “There is more than a little bit of partisanship at play here and there is more than a little bit of political one-upmanship and the tactics of labeling and to shout down people from the other side of the situation. I will not be cowered by those tactics.”
Bruce Whitaker wrapping himself in the American flag
With three council members just prior to the vote indicating support in varying degrees for the Agenda Item (Whitaker, Sebourn and Fitzgerald), the vote to approve the Agenda Item incredibly never happened. Instead Council member Jesus Silva made an alternative motion seconded by Mayor Doug Chaffee to Receive and File, which means to file the agenda item away without taking any action on it.
open borders Silva
The Final Vote to Receive and File was as follows:
Doug Chaffee, Jesus Silva and Greg Sebourn: YES
Jennifer Fitzgerald: NO
Bruce Whitaker: ABSTAINING
Political fraud Whitaker shoveling more of the ….
The vote to Receive and File had indeed Bruce Whitaker cowering with an Abstention Vote.
Here are the pertinent statements from Fullerton Council member Greg Sebourn during the discussion on Agenda Item No. 3.
Seaborn
He started by providing the very recent results of a UC Berkley poll that indicated that 74% of all respondents agreed that local authorities should not be able to ignore any request to detain any person who is in this country illegally. The poll found that 82% of Republicans, 73% of Democrats and 71% of Independents opposed California’s Sanctuary State Laws.
He then went on to state that he was in favor of the City of Fullerton writing a letter in support of the repeal of SB54, AB 450 and AB103. These are all laws that foster Sanctuary State policies.
But two minutes after he expressed this support he caved like a demolished building by casting the deciding vote for an alternative motion to Receive and File the Agenda item. This effectively approved doing absolutely nothing to support his just disclosed opposition to SB54, AB450 and AB103. With a backbone like that, I do not know how Sebourn can walk on his own.
Greg Sebourn is a political fraud
Both Bruce Whitaker and Greg Sebourn were total sellouts and proved beyond any shadow of a doubt not to be men of their word. They proved that whatever comes out of their mouths should never be taken seriously. They in fact proved themselves to be worthless, spineless, and totally self-serving politicians who betrayed their own positions in the blink of an eye.
Please remember this historic betrayal by Republican Bruce Whitaker, a self-proclaimed Constitutional Conservative and Republican Greg Sebourn.
Whitaker “Give me your tired and your ………”
How could anyone ever trust them with their votes again? I for one will never support them again.
Bruce Whitaker is the untimate betrayer of the taxpayers
When a politicians’ word literally means absolutely nothing, trust has been forever broken between the people they serve and themselves.
Bruce Whitaker is a political fraud
Does anyone in his or her right mind, still believe that Bruce Whitaker is the right person to serve us in Sacramento from the 29thSenate District?
Bushala puppet and plant, phony empty suit career politician Bruce Whitaker is now officially a coward
Does anyone in his or her right mind still believe that Greg Sebourn is the right person to continue to be on the Fullerton City Council?
Bushala puppet and plant, phony empty suit politician Greg Sebourn is now officially a coward
For this and many more reasons, Bruce Whitaker’s political career and Greg Sebourn’s political career both deserve to be ended as soon as possible. That means that you do not vote for Bruce Whitaker for California State Senate for the 29th Senate District and you do not vote to reelect Greg Sebourn to the Fullerton City Council.
Bruce Whitaker is all about protecting illegal aliens
In conclusion, they have both proved that whatever comes out of their mouths can never be counted on by the Fullerton public. They deserve are scorn and our pity but not our precious votes.
THIS IS WHAT TYRANTS LOOK LIKE WHEN THEY ARE BEING TOLD TO UPHOLD THEIR OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION.

Shawn Nelson’s 2 term on the council darling, Jennifer Fitzgerald
https://youtu.be/nMItitO18iM
Agenda 21, sustainability, SCAG operative, RINO Shawn Nelson wants to drain the swamp while he fills it, backfills it and sits on the drain plug.
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Agenda 21, Bruce Whitaker, Fullerton politics on March 9, 2018
MEET SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER SHAWN NELSON
Shawn Nelson is an Agenda 21, sustainability, SCAG operative, establishment politician. With deep connections to regional governments including the biggest and the worst of them all SCAG, and local corrupt polictians he has mentored, I believe he cannot be trusted.
One of the most concerning elements of his behavior on the OC Board of supervisors continues to be his coziness with our corrupt District Attorney’s office and his refusal to act on a Fullerton issue that has been staring him in the face for almost 2 years now.
OC DA Tony Rackaukus
I had contacted his office on several occasions seeking his assistance with a Fullerton issue. It involved what many and myself to believe to be textbook felony obstruction of justice commited by our former police chief Dan Hughes and others in the Fullerton Police department and a Mr. Bayetieh at the DA’s office that refuses to file charges in spite of overwhelming evidence that his agency is in posession of.
THE DA’S Bayetieh
The County Board of Supervisors are called SUPERVISORS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. The OC Board of Supervisors is the DA’s boss.
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER SHAWN NELSON IS TOTALLY AFRAID TO STAND UP TO CORRUPTION AT THE DA’S OFFICE
Shawn Nelson and his office continued ignoring this issue involving our former city manager and former police chief. It was a major local issue that was the subject of massive media exposure, but like the DA’s watchdogs’ questionable connections, our pathetic Fullerton watchdog Shawn Nelson on the Board of Supervisors, appears to also have questionable connections and that perhaps is why he remains silent protecting what we believe is criminal behavior involving high ranking Fullerton Police department personell. He never responded to any of my attempts to contact his office for assistance.
This issue is so flagrant that the investigator at the DA’s office that was pulled off the case has now had to go to Federal Court to seek redress of his greivances. Santos-Conklin_v_Rackauckas (1)
The Supervisors are supposed to keep their subordinate agencies like the DA in check. Equally troubling was his absolute and total silence on the choice of the watchdog with clearly troubling ties chosen to oversee the Orange County District Attorney’s office as well as his refusal to allow an audit of the Board of Supervisors. These should be of major concern to anyone paying attention. Nelson also has had his share of playing fast and loose with campaign finance rules raising money for a public office he knows he couldn’t run for very recently, funneling tens of thousands of dollars into an account whose future is in question.
THE LOVE OF MONEY…….
Nelson mentors to his lackey underlings who protect corruption and are aligned idealogically with Agenda 21, globalist agendas. Locally he has stacked the city council in Fullerton to vote for all Agenda 21 programs such as adopting international building codes, energy use master plans, legislative support for Agenda 21 regulations, Agenda 21 land use and development master plans, regional government agendas, and various ancillary boards and commissions that are directly involved in Agenda 21 activities such as massive high density development, poisoning our drinking water, spraying us and our trees with dangerous pesticides, restricting water use, forcibly irradiating us with microwave systems and their proliferation, turning our bedroom community into an Agenda 21 compact city, and establishing joint powers authorities at the municipal level which are really all about forced vaccinations. At the core of Agenda 21 is really depopulation which we discussed at legnth here on this site and on you tube. It should come as no surprise that all of the affiliates of this swamp filler and swamp dweller are at odds with what we bring to their attention. It is where we are folks.
So is this some sort of a joke ladies and gentlemen? He wants to help Trump drain the swamp?
Next to Ed Royce, Shawn Nelson has done more to fill the Fullerton swamp than anyone else folks. This is Shawn Nelson’s legacy in Fullerton. He and his wife Sharon filled the Fullerton swamp to the brim with the political pawns that for years expended tremendous effort to maintain the funding and the protecting of the corrupt murderous Fullerton police department,
and protecting the fiscal corruption that has run rampant for decades in a first world city with third world roads. Fullerton is missing hundreds of millions of dollars that should have gone into repairing roads.
The Agenda 21 operatives are well connected in Fullerton. Nelson’s connections to many of them are right out in the open. Take for instance Young Kim, who he is running against in this race ironically,
Agenda 21 Young Kim pictured 2nd from the left-forced vaccinator (SB277) and forced irradiator (AB57) who has receieved staunch support for years from his wife Sharon pictured at the far left.
She was the Agenda 21 Fullerton representative in the State Assembly that gave California forced vaccinations which is clearly an Agenda 21 first rate, top shelf priority.
The mega city model is another Agenda 21 top shelf priority,
As a current SCAG board appointee, he is a bonafide Agenda 21 operative. His past behavior, votes and candidates he supports are all Agenda 21 operatives. Agenda 21 is the most evil and obscene land use, social reingineering experiment in human history. This man must never set foot in Washinton DC unless he is on a tour bus as a tourist.
SCAG is an Unelected, Unconstitutional Regional Government. SCAG (Southern CA Assn. of Governments) is the largest regional government in the US covering 6 counties and 191 cities. SCAG has a $540 Billion plan to remake SoCal in the next 2 decades and operates in Near Darkness.
SCAG is the heartbeat of Agenda 21 and has plans to cram everyone into scientific kill grid compact cities, re wild 95 percent of the United States, get you out of your cars, end fossil fuel consumption, destroy the economy, get you onto public transportation and destroy your our way of life and the freedoms we currently enjoy.
I believe that this man is a dangerous man because he is extremely deceptive, untruthful, knows exactly what he is doing, Yes he is also an attorney. What a shame because God given talent should be used for good and not for evil or selfish gain. Take for example how Shawn Nelson tried to put a homeless shelter right next to a Title I elementary school and right next to an apartment complex in Fullerton that would have netted his good friend Cameron Irons a $100,000 real estate comission. This was resoundingly opposed by Fullerton residents.
Step right up and get your Shawn Nelson endorsement. You know the one Bruce Whitaker and Jennifer Fitzgerald wrap themselves in as they both voted to install a SCAG senior palnner Mayan Johnson to the Fullerton planning commission. Here she is leading the charge to add tens of thousands of apartment units with ten story buildings all over the place on hundreds of acres of Fullerton with the DCCSP.
THIS VIDEO BELOW IS CRUCIAL IN EXPOSING WHAT A TOTAL POLITICAL FRAUD SHAWN NELSON IS.
2 years ago, The Fullerton Republican Women Federated hosted a candidate forum for the City Council Candidates of which it just so happened that I was one of them. He and his wife did everything they could to make sure I was not invited. I managed to attend. Shawn Nelson should have never been the moderator of this forum because he was not impartial by any means and his wife was running the group at the time. A member of the audience had asked a question about the SOUTHER CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS otherwise know as SCAG. SCAG is about as relevant to City business as you can get because they dictate planning and social engineering plans for the State. This was not only a fair question, but the most important question of the election.
He refused to allow this question to be asked and listen to his reason why. This is Shawn Nelson, in Agenda 21 mode folks.
Agenda 21 Trojan Horse operative dishonest political fraud Shawn Nelson shows his underbelly as he refers to SCAG as “esoteric”. Yes it is .a secret organization that is ruining our lives and is part of a sinister plan to carry out Agenda 21. Listen to this Orwellian double speak SCAG operative- County Supervisor Shawn Nelson who wants to become your congressman and listen carefully as he talks out of both sides of his mouth.
This SCAG political operative along with his pal Tony Bushala used their influence out in the open to put people in key positions within the city of Fullerton city government to try to pass massive development schemes to add upwards of 100,000 more people to this city. Yes the Agenda 21 DCCSP would have done just that with tens of thousands of apartment units in 10 story buildings on hundreds of acres on just about every major street in town.
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER SHAWN NELSON
If that wasn’t bad enough, we all know that Agenda 21 Trojan Horse RINO phony conservative Shawn Nelson gave us phony conservative RINO, political fraud and liar Jennifer Fitzgerald for our city council and endorsed her for the past 8 years throught 2 election cycles.
Jennifer Fitzgerald REPEATEDLY votes to bankrupt the city with endless raises and giveaways for the police, refuses to take action against criminal behavior by the police and caters to their unions every chance she gets.
Nelson is Jennifer Fitzgerald’s mentor. Jennifer Fitzgerald is Fullerton’s worst nightmare that it hasn’t been able to wake up from for nearly 6 long years. She is a Curt Pringle Fullerton lobbyist for Agenda 21 high density housing and all sorts of eugnenics policies in Fullerton such as microwave system deployment, water fluoridation, Led street light installation and high density housing just to name a few.
SWAMP DWELLER Agenda 21 Fitzpringle LOBBYIST minus the stripes in her hair
She votes for every Agenda 21 massive development and plan that has ever come across her desk.
Jennifer Fitzgerald votes for forced pesticide spraying over all of Fullerton with her position on the vector control board.
Jennifer Fitzgerald makes sure she continues the Agenda 21, deadly, cancer causing water fluoridation with her position on the Metropolitan Water District as an appointee from Fullerton.
On the Fullerton City Council, Jennifer Fitzgerald promotes the consumption of cancer causing and tooth decay causing beverages as the impetus to continue the MWD fluoridation programs.
She continues to vote for dangerous cell tower sitings and 5G deployments right next to homes which guarantee the destruction of wildlife and human health as well as harming our children.
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER Shawn Nelson
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER Shawn Nelson backed this woman on the Fullerton City Council for two consecutive terms now and this is the legacy. How would you like to have your bedroom on the second or third floor of one of these Fitzgerald dream projects with the antennae agt eye level?
SWAMP DWELLER Fitzgerald has ignored calls for investigating the missing hundreds of millions of dollars that should have gone into Fullerton’s road repairs. Shame on this horrible SWAMP DWELLING Nelson plant sellout that has turned her back on the residents and sold her soul to telecom and developers.
SWAMP DWELLER Fitzgerald’s swing vote has destroyed Fullerton.
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER Nelson along with his wife has also backed school board candidates like Janny Meyer
SWAMP DWELLERS Janny Meyer , Jennifer Fitzgerald, and SWAMP FILLER Sharon Nelson
and SWAMP DWELLER Chris Thompson
SWAMP DWELLER Nelson’s water boy Chris Thompson (left)
who voted to destroy our schools and our children BY SPENDING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON horrible child abusing, mentally destroying common core curriculum, common core technology and upgrades, forcing dangerous, highly addictive wireless devices that result in screen time addictions on students while forcing students to be exposed to forced sterilizing microwave exposures, and all while they refuses to protect the children in the district from dangerous pedophiles.
In addition they still refuse to address the serious safety concerns at Parks Junior High like how none of the classrooms have any doors.
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER Shawn Nelson
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER Shawn Nelson continues to support political frauds like Bruce Whitaker.
SWAMP DWELLER BRUCE WHITAKER LYING AGAIN
SWAMP DWELLER Nelson plant Agenda 21 sellout phony Bruce Whitaker is one of the biggest political frauds in Fullerton history. Like SWAMP DWELLER Jennifer Fitzgerald, SWAMP DWELLER Bruce Whitaker is an Agenda 21 operative who voted to put the SCAG senior planner on our planning commission so they could add tens of thousands of high density housing units in Fullerton with the DCCSP. He and his appointee to the planning commission refuse to speak a work against this Agenda 21 development scheme to this day. Bruce Whitaker is a political fraud.
SWAMP DWELLER Bruce Whitaker (right)
Bruce continues to ignore the aerosol spraying operations in the skies over Fullerton, ignores the warnings and pleas to end the Agenda 21 geo engineered drought while continues to vote for water restrictions.
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER SHAWN NELSON
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER SHAWN NELSON has continued to support Bruce Whitaker through two election cycles.
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER SHAWN NELSON’s lackey SWAMP DWELLER Bruce Whitaker continues to IGNORE AND REFUSES to call for an audit of the city’s finances inspite of repeated calls for an investigation and an audit to fine the missing hundreds of millions of dollars that should have gone into Fullerton road repair.
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER Shawn Nelson and Tony Bushala have long since worked together to shape Fullerton’s political landscape to suit their own corrupt agendas for years.
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER SHAWN NELSON
SWAMP FILLER AND SWAMP DWELLER SHAWN NELSON ‘s plants Whitaker and Fitzgerald refused to deal with this local taxpayer ripoff issue as well for almost a year.
SWAMP DWELLER AND SWAMP FILLER SHAWN NELSON

Below Is A City News Service Article About The Kelly Thomas Murder Trial And Specifically The Testimony Of One Fullerton Police Department (FPD) Training Officer Steven Rubio With My Comments As Well. By Barry Levinson
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Barry Levinson, Bruce Whitaker, Bruce Whitaker.com, Doug Chafee, Government sponsored terrorism, Greg Sebourn, Hidden in plain view, Jesus Silva, KELLY THOMAS, Public safety is becoming an oxymoron, The Fullerton Police department, The twighlight's last gleaming on February 26, 2018
“SANTA ANA — A corporal who trained two officers on trial in the fatal beating of a homeless man in Fullerton testified today that they acted mostly within the city’s policy when they dealt with the suspect.
Cpl. Stephen Rubio testified that ex-Officer Manuel Ramos may have strayed from policy when he used profanity as he spoke with Kelly Thomas prior to the deadly struggle at the Fullerton Transportation Center on July 5, 2011, but otherwise acted properly.
Rubio added that ex-Cpl. Jay Cicinelli used his stun gun properly, including when he deployed it as an “improvisational tool” for punching the transient in the head.
“In the video, I honestly don’t see anything out of policy there,” Rubio said when discussing Cicinelli striking Thomas with the butt of the gun.
Cicinelli was trained in how to keep a suspect from taking away his weapon, which defense attorneys claim Thomas was trying to do during the struggle, Rubio testified.
It wouldn’t be “practical” for Cicinelli to have discarded the weapon during the struggle if it wasn’t working because Thomas could have retrieved it, Rubio said. The “loud clacking” of the stun gun that can be heard on the video indicates it was not working as it should to subdue the suspect, he said.
When asked if Cicinelli was right to strike Thomas in the head with the stun gun, Rubio testified the police department’s policy “allows for the improvisation of a tool or weapon under certain circumstances.”
As for Ramos putting on latex gloves and then holding up his fists to Thomas before threatening to “(expletive) you up” if he didn’t follow orders, Rubio said the defendant properly used a “conditional threat.”
Rubio added, “The profanity is a little off color, a slight policy violation.”
Although the profanity was “unprofessional,” using the threat to avoid a physical fight was OK “for the greater good,” Rubio testified.
Assistant District Attorney Jim Tanizaki got Rubio to acknowledge that “improvised weapons” are OK under the department’s policy when “reasonable,” and that there’s an admonition against head strikes with an impact weapon.
Rubio also testified, under questioning by Tanizaki, that after the first deployment of a stun gun, a suspect must be given time to comply with orders because the immediate reaction to a Taser might be improperly construed as resistance.
When Tanizaki pressed Rubio on whether a suspect should be given more than one chance to comply, the corporal resisted.
Rubio testified that he recalled Cicinelli struck Thomas four to six times with the stun gun. But after he was shown the video in court, he revised his estimate to three times.
“I see his arm moving back in a circular motion, but I can’t tell if that’s a strike or not,” Rubio testified.
Officer Kenton Hampton can be seen on the video jumping away from the struggle, an “indication he got a bit of that Taser discharge,” Rubio testified.
Tanizaki questioned Rubio on whether Ramos’ threat to Thomas could be viewed as a provocative act.
“Do you agree words can foster and create an environment for confrontation?” the prosecutor asked.
“It’s possible,” Rubio responded.
Tanizaki also questioned Rubio about a part of the policy that discourages threats to mentally disabled suspects.
“With respect to individuals who are mentally disabled, aren’t you taught to avoid threats?” Tanizaki asked.
“Once again, it depends,” Rubio replied.
The prosecutor asked Rubio if he trained Ramos to not threaten mentally disabled suspects.
“I taught him to communicate with people effectively whether they were mentally ill or not,” Rubio said. “You try to treat everyone with calming language … That’s what we try to teach.”
Rubio also testified that blows to some parts of the head are less dangerous than others, and that the plastic stun gun would be “not as dangerous” as a police baton, or asp.
Retired FBI use-of-force expert John Wilson Jr. testified for the prosecution last week that Ramos and Cicinelli did not follow proper procedures. Wilson testified that Ramos “aggressively slapped” at Thomas and that he had reason to fear the police and run from them.
“I have problems with everything that happened after” Ramos put on the gloves and held up his fists to the homeless man, Wilson testified.
Wilson also testified that it was “not be good proper police procedure” for Cicinelli to strike Thomas with the butt of a stun gun.
Ramos is charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter and Cicinelli is charged with involuntary manslaughter and excessive force.”
This is a must read: Pure evil- Who did this to Kelly Thomas and what they did to Kelly Thomas must never be forgotten until justice is served.

EMOTIONAL EVENING LISTENING TO PUBLIC COMMENTS ABOUT KELLY THOMAS AT THE FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL. By Barry Levinson
https://youtu.be/a6GfxBA-Wdo
Dana Pape, the step mom of Kelly Thomas and Tina, the sister of Kelly Thomas both spoke at Public Comments last night at the Fullerton City Council.
They spoke from their hearts and they spoke the truth. The pain of loosing a loved one does not diminish much over time especially when justice was not served at all.
Comment To Those That Are Heartless! Yes you should care about what happened to Kelly Thomas and not rationalize that because he was homeless and mentally ill that he was somehow less of a person. He died a horrific death, murdered by members of the FPD. They were not found guilty but what do you call that senseless brutal beating with three, then four, then five and finally six officers present at various times during the horrific assault carried out by some of FPD’s so-called finest? What do you call that beating death of an innocent man as proclaimed by none other than former Police Chief Danny Hughes. Hughes stated that he was an innocent man officially at a City Council meeting. Yet his training officer Steven Rubio testified under oath that no Fullerton policies or procedures were broken that fateful night.
Meet Training officer Rubio “In the video, all things considered, I don’t see anything out of policy,” Rubio said.
Kelly Thomas after no procedures were violated according to Rubio
Training officer Rubio on the right pictured with Pat McKinley on the left who proudly proclaimed on TV that “I hired em all” referring to the killers cops that murdered Kelly Thomas including hiring a one eyed cop Jay Cicinelli who failed to meet even the most minimum standards-
Pat Mckinley pictured on the right- a police chief who didn’t even follow his own departments rules or procedures when it came to hiring a one eyed cop-
The highest ranking officer on the scene, Sgt. Kevin Craig testified under oath that no Fullerton policies or procedures were broken that fateful night.
Sgt Kevin Craig was named supervisor of the year by his union after helping the killers go free.
Kelly Thomas after no procedures were violated according to Craig
Question to Danny Hughes now retired and VP of Security for the self proclaimed Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland. How could two of your officers testify under oath that no FPD policies or procedures were broken that night let alone criminal statutes, when you proclaimed he was an innocent man?
Hughes
Kelly Thomas after no procedures were violated
Is that what your Fullerton Policies and Procedures manual calls for former Police Chief Danny Hughes? Does your FPD Policies and Procedure Manual state that it is within procedure for FPD officers to start a savage gang attack on an innocent man resulting in his death? Not one of the officers present had the decency to say to all the other officers enough already, while Kelly was repeatedly and incredibly courteously pleading for his life, referring to all of them as sir.
When I watched the entire video, there were so many thoughts floating through my mind.
First I thought as bad as I had heard the beating was there was nothing to prepare me for the savagery and the total lack of any reason to hit Kelly Thomas not even once let alone hundreds of times.
Second, it hit me that a homeless mentally ill man was the only person who acted sanely that evening. In my humble opinion it was the cops who acted like mentally deranged savages.
Thirdly, I thought how horrible, how unimaginable to die needlessly in that fashion. The actions of those police officers present was so brutal, so inhuman and so barbaric.
And now two of them Cincinelli and Wolfe are suing the City of Fullerton for their jobs back with back pay.
Wolfe
Cicinelli
Finally, in my opinion due to the statements of one Danny Hughes
Dan Hughes pictured on the right with one of “his untouchables” FPD PIO Radus on the left. “One piece of evidence introduced in the Irish arbitration that shed some light on the Fullerton Culture of Corruption was a copy of a poster that was hanging in the locker of Fullerton Police PIO Sgt. Jon Radus. It is a photo-shop likeness of a movie poster from the movie the “Untouchables”. It depicts the face of Dan Hughes overlooking a gun toting gang of thirty’s era cops with the faces of Sgt. Corbett, Sgt. Radus, Sgt. Garah and Sgt. Petropulos superimposed on the bodies. All of these police supervisors played a dubious role in the termination of Corporal Paul Irish.”
and the testimony under oath of the FPD trainer and Sgt Craig, they will probably end up with multimillion dollar settlements from the Fullerton taxpayer. How do you uphold their firing when two of the FPD’s so-called finest testified under oath that no FPD Policies or Procedures were broken that night.
This should be a case study presented in every police academy on what every officer should never do concerning the brutal death of Kelly Thomas. It should also be training as how to not as law enforcement employees try to justify those dastardly police actions after the fact in court by an official training officer.
And to all the City Council weasels siting on the dais last night, not one of you had the decency to state that what was done to Kelly Thomas was a low point in the entire history of the FPD and that you feel for the loss suffered by Dana and Tina and will do everything possible to make sure it can never ever happen again in the City of Fullerton. Instead some legal mumbo jumbo by the Mayor and total silence from the other four council members.
Heartless and cold blooded Jennifer Fitzgerald once again ignored the pleas for justice by the decedents family
Downtown bar owner sycophant Greg Seborn pictured on the right ignored the impassioned pleas for justice by the bereaved family members even after the city attorney cleared them to speak on the incident.
Jesus Silva was given the green light to give his condolences to the family members present and couldn’t give the simple we are sorry for what happened to Kelly Thomas.
Mayor Doug Chaffee failed to show any humanity towards the community or the family of Kelly Thomas last night when all he could muster was some legal jargon
Downtown bar owner sycophant State Senate candidate Bruce Whitaker chooses to do the wrong thing once again by remaining silent ignoring the hearyt wrenching testimony of Kelly Thomas’s family.
HAS STATE SENATE CANDIDATE BRUCE WHITAKER FULLERTON SPENT MONEY FROM HIS PRECIOUS LITTLE WAR CHEST ON CLEANING UP HIS REPUTATION ON THE INTERNET? by Barry Levinson
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Bruce Whitaker, Bruce Whitaker.com on January 15, 2018
It certainly appears that way to me Fullertonians. There have been many, many negative articles on the internet spelling out the many failures of one Bruce Whitaker Fullerton City Council member.
https://thefullertoninformer.com/category/bruce-whitaker/
Yet one day a few weeks ago I noticed that when I put his name in the Google or Yahoo browser almost no negative articles appeared about him. How strange, how curious….or is it? Did our so-called libertarian candidate spend money to alter what articles appears on the internet when anyone looks up his name?
Phony empty suit career politician Bruce Whitaker is now officially a coward
Like I said it certainly appears to be the case. Is this just another example of the phoniness of one Bruce Whitaker?

It has been approximately 8 to 9 months since the City’s Christening of the Pinewood Stairs connecting Hillcrest Park and Lion’s Field. The FFFF website has posted new pictures rendering the condition of those stairs. They are simply falling apart with the problems increasing at a very rapid rate.
Yet where is State Senate Candidate Bruce Whitaker on this issue? The answer is that Bruce Whitaker has been totally silent since the beginning. It is very troubling that someone whose only theme for running for State Senate is to fight Sacramento Corruption is once again totally silent on this City of Fullerton corruption and there is no doubt that is what Pinewood Stairs represents.
Public Works director Don Hoppie needs to be fired over signing off on this outrageous fraud perpetrated on taxpayers.
$196,000 a year for Hugo Curiel and $148,000 a year for these Fullerton park and rec department managers Curiel and Loya who presided over this disaster (compensation source transparent california.com)
Sebourn mentioned his concern in response to citizen complaints and then failed to follow-up at all. Nice phony PR work Sebourn.
Worthless Bushala plant Greg Seaborn who doubles down every time with lipservice and ignores the corruption.
Fitzgerald’s response was to totally praise the stairs as a great triumph of city engineering and development.
Shawn Nelson plant Fitzgerald ignores the problem, doubles down and praises this construction defect lawsuit in the making as magnificent.
Who is one of her main supporters and mentors but none other than Shawn Nelson who is now running to replace Congressman Ed Royce. You remember Nelson, the guy who tried to put in a homeless shelter across the street from an elementary school that has many special needs children in attendance and tried to hand over a 100K commission to one of his supporters denying others the right to bid for that commission. The same supervisor who was against setting up an independent commission to look into OC Supervisor corruption. Here is Nelson hiding SCAG from the public at a candidate forum, yes the one who lobbied his head off to make sure Jennifer Fitzgerald got elected twice and he wants to be your Congressman?
Is this the best the Republican Party can provide as candidates, Bruce Whitaker for State Senate and Shawn Nelson for U.S. Congress? How pathetic? And the State Republican party wonders why Republicans have become pretty much meaningless throughout the entire state. A state that gave us Governor and then President Ronald Reagan. Should those true conservatives that care about our constitution and limited government providing freedom for its citizens, start a new Conservative Party in California? If the State Republican Party does not shape up and shape up really fast, the answer is probably yes!
As for the stairs, well you know you can’t put wood in concrete like that. It swells every time it gets wet. It should have had metal anchors with straps and bolts. So if the City doesn’t sue the contractor for construction defects, no one gets fired, no one goes to jail for this total ripoff, and someone gets hurt when this thing ends up red tagged after the next big rainstorm, well you know it will be you picking up the tab once again.
I report, you decide.
THE DEFINITIVE CRITIQUE OF BRUCE WHITAKER’S SIX PLUS YEARS ON THE FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL OR TO PUT IT ANOTHER WAY: LET US COUNT THE WAYS HE HAS FAILED US! (Updated August 25, 2017) BY Barry Levinson
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Barry Levinson, Bruce Whitaker, Fullerton politics on January 13, 2018
Question to Mayor Whitaker. As he prepares to have the last of his “Talk Around the Town” meetings with the public where he asks people to bring him questions, why has he not answered specific and direct questions that were posed by his then Park and Recreation Committee appointee, namely myself, one Barry Levinson? I SMELL A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD AND PHONY HERE! I ask that someone take the above list and ask the good Mayor for answers to any and all of the above ignored issues by him!
Nothing to be proud of
BARRY LEVINSON COUNTING THE MANY WAYS THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WHITAKER HAS FAILED THE GOOD PEOPLE OF FULLERTON AS FOLLOWS:
- Bruce Whitaker voted to place Ma’Ayn Johnson, a S.C.A.G. senior planner to our Fullerton Planning Committee. S.C.A.G, the Southern California Association of Governments, has been pushing for high-rise, high-density development and the elimination of the automobile as agents of the United Nations Agenda 21 for decades. S.C.A.G is the largest unelected, taxpayer funded, governmental agency in the country and so-called limited government, Bruce Whitaker voted for her to be on our Fullerton Planning Commission when he himself stated there were 17 well-qualified candidates. This from a politician who claims to be for limited government. So what does total phony politician Bruce Whitaker do but vote for someone who is part of an unelected government body. That Fullertonians is taxation without representation. That goes against the principles of a constitutional republic. His wife incredulously stated sometime after this vote by Whitaker that he is against S.C.A.G. Whitaker to this day has never explained why he voted for a senior planner working for S.C.A.G. What a guy! What a phony politician!
- Bruce Whitaker refused to respond verbally or in writing to my (Barry Levinson’s) extremely well documented analysis of a 4 to 5 million-dollar finding concerning the Fullerton Golf Course. I am a trained auditor with an MBA and work experience with Ernst and Young, a worldwide CPA firm as well as 12 years as an Internal auditor at the Corporate Headquarters of Northrop Grumman Corporation. A total of 35 years of accounting and auditing experience ignored by the Council member who appointed me to the Fullerton Park and Recreation Commission and gave no reason. I believe the reason he removed me is simple. I was apparently getting in the way of the city doing its corrupt, phony deals. I am referring to deals such as the DCCSP, College Town, the Summit House lease extension, and the Revised DCCSP (which would have also removed Polly’s Pies from its current long-time address and basically removed one of the few shopping centers in the eastern part of Fullerton). What a guy! What a phony politician!
- A short time after he chose not to deal with my very large, extremely well documenting and supported finding, he asks for the establishment of an Audit Committee for our City. Of course his motion got no support and it died immediately. Was this by design? Was Bruce Whitaker being a hypocrite? Did Bruce ever discuss an audit committee with me or ask me as an auditor by trade to sit on such a Committee or give him input as to how to best set one up? NO. What a guy! What a phony politician!
- Bruce Whitaker voted to repeal our Pedophile Residency Restriction Ordinance based on false information that the Fullerton law restricted all sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school, park or licensed day-care center provided by City Attorney James Touchstone. In my public comments I made the point that our law specifically applies to only child sex offenders, not all sex offenders. The only negative court decisions related to laws that restricted all sex offenders. There was no case law against our much narrower Fullerton law, which impacted only child sex offenders.
Mr. Touchstone in presenting this agenda item to the Fullerton City Council took exception with my comments. He stated as follows:
“With respect, I must disagree with Mr. Levinson and his comments. Specifically, I am looking at the language before you right now of the municipal; code and it states that any sex offender is prohibited from residing within 2,000 feet of any school, park or day care center.” What Touchstone who helped write the law failed to tell the city council members was the definition of sex offender provided by the ordinance at 7.150.020H of the Fullerton Municipal Code is as follows:
“Sex offender means any person required by law to register with government entity as a sex offender for an offense against or involving a child or children, including, but not limited to, the California Sex Offender Registration Act, Penal Code Section 290, et seq.”
Mayor Bruce Whitaker ignored my comments completely and the Fullerton City Council never acknowledged the correction that I brought forth. But more importantly the city council voted at the second hearing for the ordinance to make it law with a unanimous vote again after I proved the City Attorney’s presentation was fatally flawed. Bruce Whitaker and the rest of the city council should be ashamed of themselves to allow a complete and proven falsehood to be used as an excuse to repeal a very important law for the protection of all our children from pedophiles. What kind of a guy allows false information from our City Attorney to be used to support the repeal of a law helping to protect children? The answer is Mayor Bruce Whitaker and the rest of the city council members. What a guy! What a phony and unethical politician!
- Bruce Whitaker in a November 2014 council meeting stated that there was absolutely no evidence to support the charges brought against me by former Police Chief Dan Hughes. At that meeting Dan Hughes admitted that he could hate that guy (referring to me) and that he took total control of the investigation himself. When was the last time that any police chief took total control of an investigation including contacting people to interview them and then write the police report to the OC District Attorney recommending that they prosecute me? The answer is probably never or at least never in an honest police department. All this time the city, i.e. the police department would not make public the video camera tape where this so-called incident took place. A few weeks after the OCDA refused to charge me with a crime for lack of evidence, the city video was made public and it showed that no crime, no incident took place. Yet after a few others and I asked Bruce Whitaker and the rest of the council to open up an independent investigation on this matter, Whitaker and the rest of the council totally ignored our requests. What kind of a man acknowledges that the police pursuit of me certainly seemed to be all political payback based on nothing and yet drops the matter totally? That kind of a weak, cowardly man is none other than current Mayor Bruce Whitaker. The fact that he still sits on the Fullerton City council dais is shameful enough but to now want a huge promotion after the scandalous way he has handled himself is something only an extremely arrogant, self-center phony politician could do with a straight face. What a guy! What a phony politician!
- Bruce Whitaker voted for the absolute worst redistricting map, which I call the high-density, high-rise developers and downtown nightclub owners’ map. It is the only map presented to the council that basically disenfranchises the good people who live in and around the downtown area of Fullerton. Rather than being in primarily one district, Popoff’s map divides our downtown residents into five small pieces attached to other neighborhoods throughout Fullerton. This is taxation without adequate representation. Jeremy Popoff, the owner of the Downtown Fullerton Slidebar and a $1,500 contributor to Bruce Whitaker’s past campaigns, wrote this map. Is this a coincidence or not? What a guy! What a phony politician!
- Bruce Whitaker voted to make Jennifer Fitzgerald our Mayor almost guaranteeing her to be reelected with the help of the title Mayor on the ballot. I bring this up because so very often in speaking with me he stated how much he disagreed with so many of Council member Fitzgerald’s votes. What a guy! What a phony politician!
- The Agenda item to extend an existing Summit House Restaurant lease deal, which sits on Fullerton City Park land was shameful. The Summit House, not the city already controlled options with the exact same terms including lease revenue to the city to the year 2041. In other words the Summit House was in the drivers seat until the year 2041 or 26 years from the date of this agenda item. But the Summit House wanted more and our totally inept and/or corrupt city council and city manager wanted to give them two additional 10-year lease extensions with the exact same terms all the way to October 2061.
This meant that the city council intentionally bypassed the Park and Recreation Committee for this important agenda issue. I was the only speaker at public comments to point out how the city manager and the city council wrongly bypassed the Park and Recreation Committee. Based on my bringing this failure by the city to the attention of all that night, it resulted in it supposedly going back to our committee for its recommendation before it went to council. Guess what, a little over a month later I learned that the agenda item was withdrawn by the Summit House Restaurant owner.
Question: Would any reasonable businessman leasing out property accept extending a lease with the same current terms for the next 46 years? Why didn’t Bruce Whitaker inform me as his appointee to the Park and Recreation Committee, that this agenda item had wrongly bypassed the Park and Recreation Committee by the city?
Question: Was Bruce Whitaker part of this plan to bypass the P and R Committee? If not, why did he not contact me as his appointed to that committee when he received his council member agenda package several days in advance. The agenda package clearly stated that the lease extension was recommended by the Park and Recreation Department and not the Park and Recreation Committee, which is the normal procedure. What a guy! What a phony politician!
- Late last year, Bruce Whitaker complained about having to vote on a grant application due to a fast approaching deadline that had not yet been actually filled out by the city. I spoke at the very next city council meeting and informed Whitaker and the rest of the council that all they had to do to solve this problem permanently was to make it mandatory that staff present agenda items not at the last minute but rather at least 2 meetings prior to any deadline. In this way any information absent could be provided by the next meeting assuring that the council and the public had all the information necessary to make a fully informed decision. You would think that every council member especially Bruce Whitaker would be thrilled to finally have a permanent solution to an ongoing problem. But neither Council member Whitaker nor any other council members ever referred to my very easy and quick solution. I have to surmise that Bruce Whitaker’s objection to a grant application without it being filled out was just political gamesmanship to win some points with his constituents. For if he was serious about fixing the ongoing problem he would have pounced on my easy solution immediately. No he ignored my suggestion completely. How sad it is when our politicians are exposed for what they all too often are, which are totally phony self-centered individuals. What a guy! What a phony politician!
- Just last month as Mayor he lead a unanimous vote to appoint David Hendricks our next Fullerton Police Chief. Forty percent of the council was absent that night but Whitaker led the charge to appoint him nevertheless. This shows the arrogance of Whitaker and the council to not wait until all were present to hear all the comments by the public about Hendricks prior to making their final decision. That vote with only 60% of the council present should have never taken place. Yet Whitaker allowed it to happen on his watch as Mayor. I guess we can conclude that this was just another of one of his mental lapses concerning his fiduciary responsibility to his constituents. What a guy! What a phony politician!
- Whitaker takes no responsibility for all of his political failures. When confronted with the facts that except for legalizing fireworks he has accomplished nothing in his 6 plus years of service, his lame answer is always the same. His answer to these legitimate critiques is that he is only 1 person out of 5 on the dais. What he fails to tell us that Bruce Whitaker has been part of the majority as a Republican the entire time he has represented Fullerton. In fact, he has had either a 4 to 1 majority or a 3 to 2 majority the entire time of his service. Yet now he wants to represent us in the State Senate where he will be one voice out of dozens and his party will be a small minority not the majority he has had for all his time on the Fullerton City Council dais.
- To those who believed and trusted Bruce Whitaker to represent us honestly based on his many years of his pontificating fiscally conservative values and limited government solutions, he has let us all down. He had such a golden opportunity to make a real difference in our City and instead especially over the past 2 years he decided to place politics and his own ambition in front of the needs of the people he swore to represent.
Concluding Remarks: Bruce Whitaker told me almost two year’s ago that he was planning to run for Shawn Nelson’s OC Supervisory seat when it became available in November 2018. As recently as a month or two ago on a local news show, he reiterated that he intended to run for Nelson’s Supervisor’s seat. Yet at the last minute he has changed his mind to run for the 29thCa. Senate seat, now held by Josh Newman. First he wants to represent the people in his District of Orange County on local county issues and now he wants to be in the State Senate dealing with statewide issues. Why the sudden switch? I would guess that after Young Kim threw her hat into the supervisor’s race and got the lion’s share of support from local Republican Ca. elected officials, he decided to abruptly change course. Or maybe he just saw an opportunity to snag a large six-figure paycheck a year earlier. Does he really care about Fullertonians or is he just looking for that big six-figure paycheck on the government dole for a part-time job whether it is as a member of the OC Supervisors or whether it be a State representative?
With all this factual documentation showing Bruce Whitaker’s actions that goes against his so-called constitutional, limited government philosophy, any conservative who still votes for Bruce Whitaker must have his or her head buried deep in the ground. The only smart move by the electorate is to not ignore all the facts that I have presented in this article. His turning his back on his most loyal supporters can’t and should not be rewarded with a large promotion. You have let us down big time Council member Bruce Whitaker and hopefully now you will have to pay a political price for your phony political choices and your lack of leadership.
We have now come to learn that the image is so, so different than reality. All of the above examples prove Bruce Whitaker’s betrayal of his so-called constitutional conservative, limited government philosophy. Anyone objective enough to absorb the facts presented here now knows that the reality falls far short from the carefully cultivated image.
Let me state for the record that anyone who decides to vote for Bruce Whitaker with the “lesser of two evils” argument is only fooling themselves. A public servant who in my opinion is deceptive, disingenuous and repeatedly fails to follow his own supposed principles does not deserve your vote.
A Few Final Questions For The Fullerton Public As Follows:
- How in good conscience could any parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle vote for a man, Bruce Whitaker who allowed proven false information about a Fullerton ordinance to be justification to repeal a very good law protecting Fullerton children from pedophiles?
- How in good conscience can any voter support Bruce Whitaker after stating during a city council meeting that there was no evidence to support the recommendation by Police Chief Dan Hughes to have the OCDA indict me with a misdemeanor crime and then totally drops the ball? There was certainly much evidence that the investigation led by former Police Chief Dan Hughes, was extremely biased based on his stating to Whitaker that he hated the guy, referring to myself and his acknowledgement that he himself led the entire investigation, i.e. witch hunt from start to finish against me. There was however, incontrovertible evidence that proved my innocence and it was totally ignored by Dan Hughes. Why do you think Dan Hughes ignored evidence that was always controlled by the city namely the City videotape, which would have proven that there was no evidence to accuse me of any crime whatsoever? This is a textbook case of police abuse of power and a blatant attempt by Dan Hughes to make me a political prisoner. At the same time this evidence, the videotape, was hidden from the public for months, which 100% proved my innocence. Even though the investigation of the handling of this case by the FPD was requested by at least three people, two others and myself at city council meetings, Whitaker remained shamefully and cowardly silent on getting to the bottom of this apparent criminal misuse of police power. When you state there is a serious possible criminal misbehavior by the head of the Fullerton police department and Whitaker strongly inferred the same and then failed to take any action to investigate the alleged criminal abuse by the FPD, this defines the antithesis of a leader or a statesman. Again phony, corrupt and cowardly politician Bruce Whitaker never requested that any investigation be conducted to get to the bottom of this apparent total disregard for the law by our own police chief.
- How in good conscience could any Fullerton voter cast his or her precious vote for a man who makes a mockery of the very things he has told us he stands for time and time again over his long and not very distinguished political career?
In 2012, Fullertonians by almost a 2 to 1 majority informed Bankhead, McKinley and Jones that we have had enough of them. Let us send a loud and very clear message that now we have no confidence in Bruce Whitaker in any position of political power.
I report, you decide.

BRUCE WHITAKER’S CAMPAIGN FOR JOSH NEWMAN’S CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE SEAT IS DOA (DEAD ON ARRIVAL). By Barry Levinson
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Bruce Whitaker, Bruce Whitaker.com on January 2, 2018
Over on the FFFF Website, one of Bruce Whitaker’s remaining political buddies, self-described The Fullerton Harpoon, tried to drum up support for Bruce Whitaker as follows:
Bushala plant and political fraud Bruce Whitaker
“One of our Friends has notified FFFF that Fullerton councilman and State Senate Recall candidate Bruce Whitaker has a website dedicated to his Senate run which is supposed to happen in 2018 – if the Democrats in the legislature quit stalling and stop making up new rules as they see fit.
You can access the new venture through the old address www.brucewhitaker.com
Feel free to share your thoughts.”
Tony Bushala’s disastrous line up for Fullerton
Well, the once extremely friendly website for Bruce Whitaker did garner many responses over one day’s time and all but the Fullerton Harpoon’s comments were decidedly and consistently negative.
If a website that has a history of being extremely friendly to Bruce Whitaker can’t drum up support among its readership than I suspect his support is truly very meager and not even what it used to be before the facts about Bruce Whitaker’s council record became widely known.
(click the image and link below for all the video you need to see about what a political phony he is)
All I can say is that it is gratifying that the truth is now widely known about Bruce Whitaker’s failures as our Council member, including his fiduciary responsibilities to the taxpayers of Fullerton. His site is lacking any real tangible goals if elected, while not stating one accomplishment as our city council member and twice Mayor over the last 7 plus years.
Rather than calling this his campaign website, it is more accurate and appropriate to call it his political epitaph. I for one will not be sad to see him go!

THE CHARADE OF FULLERTON POLICE DEPARTMENT REFORM UNDER FORMER POLICE CHIEF DAN HUGHES AND THE SILENCE OF OUR FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS…MAYOR BRUCE WHITAKER, MAYOR PRO-TEM DOUG CHAFFEE AND COUNCIL MEMBERS JENNIFER FITZGERALD, GREG SEBOURN AND JESUS SILVA. BY BARRY LEVINSON
Barry Levinson
Our streets are the joke of Southern California, we are drowning in millions of dollars in red ink caused by overly generous salary and pension increases, our traffic congestion is quickly reaching big city proportions and our elected representatives are the poster children for corruption and crony capitalism, yet the biggest problem still remains the corruption throughout the ranks of our Fullerton Police Department. They have the power to use lethal force against the public and the ability to put innocent people in jail. I have first hand experience with the latter statement. This can definitely impact adversely every citizen in Fullerton. It does not matter if you are an activist or you are someone who does not know the names of any of our elected officials. We are all at risk and will continue to be at risk until we clean house at the FPD!
So with this as the backdrop, I spoke at the Fullerton City Council during Public Comments on April 18, 2017. They give you a “generous” 3 whole minutes to speak. In reality, with the current group of council members, it would not matter if they gave you three hours or even three days to speak because they ignore everything out of the public’s mouths unless you choose to kiss their you now what!
I spoke about two very important subjects. The first subject was the failure of our “reformed” Fullerton Police Department to take the statements from Joe Imbriano and myself to report the crime of obstruction of justice by recently retired Police Chief, Dan Hughes in regard to his failure to allow his officers to follow normal police procedure to arrest Joe Felz for DUI and for leaving the scene of an accident with damages. Joe Felz was eventually charged with those two counts, months after the incident by the OCDA Office. I admonished the entire council for its continued failure to discuss this very important issue.
With my remaining 30 seconds I dropped a bombshell in the laps of our distinguished dais. I told them that I was informed by Banc of California employees at the Euclid and Rosecrans Avenue branch that it is closing because a developer bought the property to be part of the development of the entire Sunrise Village Shopping Center to become mixed-use high-density high-rise residential units. The city desperately needs the short-term infusion of money that would be generated by the Park and Recreation Department Park Dwelling fees of $11,700 per residential unit. If they build 500 units for example that would generate an additional $5,850,000 in revenue. This would help to cover the extremely generous salary and benefit employee raises approved by the council last year. More development approvals would be needed to continue paying for these salary and benefit increases approved under Mayor Jennifer Fitzgerald in 2016 for subsequent years. I put the council on notice that I smelled a rat. Namely that the city in my opinion has been dealing with developers to make this mixed use project a reality in the near future. Why else would these landlords create vacant properties with the absence of valuable rents if they only had a hope that they could convert the shopping center to a concrete jungle of mixed use high-density housing units. I told them it was not zoned for that use and that the people of that neighborhood would fight to make sure it never ever came to fruition. You should have seen the faces of Bruce Whitaker and Jennifer Fitzgerald after I finished with my comments. They did not look pleased at all.
Of course, there was no response by any council members to these comments and the Interim Police Chief also was silent after he learned that his department would not take a simple police report by two members of the community. Gee silly me, I thought it was their job to take the statement and then go and investigate; not determine that no crime was committed so therefore no police report was necessary to be taken by them in the first place.
The first order of business has to be from the OCDA Office by filing obstruction of justice charges against Dan Hughes.
Like I said at the beginning of this post, the City of Fullerton and the Fullerton Police Department are corrupt and the Fullerton Police Department needs to clean house
FAA Grant Assurance Violation investigation opened against the city of Fullerton-puts the brakes on the lease agreement with Hangar 21 Helicopters and the potentially illegal proposed public land use zone change at the airport
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Air Combat USA, Bruce Whitaker, Fullerton politics, FULLERTON PRAVDA, Hangar 21, The Fullerton Airport on December 1, 2017
Ladies and gentlemen, hospitals are for sick people, churches are for sinners, bars are for drunks and Airports are for aircraft. I wonder how some people in this community have attempted to cleverly devise a way to make an airport into the place for all of that?
Well it appears that the best laid plans of mice and men combined with what I believe to be the worst intentions of some have amalgamated into a huge problem for city officials and ultimately, you guessed it, the taxpayers.
Fullerton is being sued again, and this time it is not by the parents of someone murdered by some deranged cops, or someone who was molested by some pervert wearing a badge, nor someone whose ball joints have been busted by these busted up shitty roads. This time it is over what appears to be a case of crooked cronyism. The city of Fullerton is the subject of a 500 million dollar lawsuit between a local business and city officials and now the Feds are involved.
Public works director Don Hoppe. He is the airport manager Brendon Oreily’s boss.
City manager Domer needs to check his email today
Well, word to the Fullerton Informer is The City of Fullerton is now the subject of an open FAA investigation. The phone call and letter to city officials from the FAA is on its way to stop the agenda item on Tuesday night’s council meeting docket.
An official FAA Grants Assurance 22 non discrimination violation investigation has been opened at the Federal level brought about by allegations made by Mr. Blackstone on behalf of Air Combat USA who is also involved in a 500 million dollar breach of contract lawsuit with the city of Fullerton. The lawsuit alleges that actions of city officials involving collusion, alleged intentional misrepresentations and alleged interference, all allegedly intended to breach Air Combat USA’s contract.
The battle over the hangar at the Fullerton airport is between a 20 year Reserve La Habra PD Narcotics officer named Rob Sims who owns Hangar 21 helicopters who has operated at the Fullerton airport since 2016. He wants to expand his helicopter and events business.
Rob Sims
and a 25 year commercial airline pilot, named Mike Blackstone, who owns an aviation company called Air Combat USA who has operated at the Fullerton airport for nearly 30 years. He wants to stay at the airport and expand his business.
Mike Blackstone
In spite of the city being made aware of the lawsuit which I have posted here —-FAC_Blackstone_8 , the potential grant violations, and requests of Mike Blackstone, Barry and myself to remove this item from the agenda forecast at the previous meeting, city staff, under the auspices of our new city manager, Mr. Domer,
and with the clearance of our city attorney, Dick Jones,
still doubled down and had decided to place the item on the agenda anyway, ignoring everything before them. Even the entire city council ignored the lawsuit and everything that the three of us presented in public comments. The worst offender of all is the mayor (Tony Bushala bought and paid for plant) Bruce Whitaker who, as Barry Levinson had pointed out, ignored the potential for this action to compound the outcome of the lawsuit. He said and did nothing and still put this potentially crooked scheme on the agenda for the next meeting.
The other (Tony Bushala bought and paid for plant) Greg Sebourn, also just ignored everything presented and rocked back and forth in his chair waiting for it all to end.
(Police, and fire Union plant, bought and paid for union puppet) Doug Chaffee could barely keep his eyes open the entire time as this issue was brought up, He did nothing, and said nothing.
(Poker faced master of the municipal time card) City attorney Dick Jones just sat there ignoring and digesting (no pun intended) everything as usual.
(Shawn Nelson darling, Royce Hack, Curt Pringle operative, Tony Bushala’s teflon girl, Union puppet and Agenda 21 operative) Jennifer Fitzgerald actually had the nerve to laugh at the speakers during the public comment period.
I also might add that I received an anonymous comment that I should remove the picture of Rob Sims and that for my safety I should remove the entire article about the Fullerton Municipal Airport and the Air Combat USA, Inc. lawsuit, I take that as a threat against both Mr. Levinson and myself. We have taken the necessary precautions as well as have alerted those necessary. Both Mr. Levinson and myself have instructed several different people of this threat and who law enforcement including the FBI should look at if anything happens to either of us.
Fullerton is broke folks, these people are not helping and depending upon their behavior on Tuesday night, it may just get a whole lot worse for everyone. Huge lawsuits are not a good thing for a city that has no money left for even a firework show on the fourth of July.
Holding leaders accountable is 6th grade civics, and boy scout basic material. It is time for all of you to get involved because Fullerton’s leaders are not who you think you voted for and the city government is run by people that are not who you think they are. Like Barry Levinson said at the last meeting he attended, the chickens are indeed coming home to roost. Yes they are one at a time.
