FOOL ME ONCE SHAME ON YOU, FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ALL OF US. THE SAD STORY OF THE NORTH ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT’S HISTORY WITH BOND ISSUES.

I REPORT, YOU DECIDE.  Barry Levinson

This Tuesday evening at 5:30 PM, the North Orange County Community College Board will meet to consider approving a $574 million dollar bond issue, which the proponents say will be primarily used to revamp two Veteran’s Buildings within its facilities.

First, over a half billion dollars for two buildings should in and of itself sound warning bells for all taxpayers throughout all of North Orange County.

Second, if the language of the bond is not specific, the Community College Board could spend the money on items not having anything to do with the Veterans.

Third, do you want to give some bureaucrats the power to have over a half billion additional dollars at their disposal to spend probably at their own discretion. I for one say absolutely not.

The Fullerton Joint Union High School District Will Try To Place A $175 Million Bond Issue On The November Ballot.

I REPORT YOU DECIDE-By Barry Levinson

Barry Levinson

Barry Levinson

 Yesterday, like most of you who live in the Fullerton Joint Union High School District (FJUHSD), I received a four-page color brochure from those bureaucratic “friends”.

F.J.U.H.S.D. BOARD OF TRUSTEES


Marilyn Buchi

Andy Montoya

Robert N. Hathaway

Barbara Kilponen

Robert Singer Ph.D.

This is the third full color brochure that has been sent out by the FJUHSD this year.  Each time they have written that they are considering a new bond issue. Well, now they have set a date — August 5th, 2014 — where they will consider placing this $175 million bond issue on the November 4, 2014 ballot.

FJUHSD'S SUPERITNENDENT Dr. George Giokaris

FJUHSD’S  Dr. George Giokaris

My understanding is that this bond issue will be long-term, maybe 25 years or so in length. It is irresponsible that the board would be considering this so late in the year.  Read the rest of this entry »

DOES COUNCIL MEMBER JENNIFER FITZGERALD DO REAL DAMAGE TO HER OWN CREDIBILITY?

I report you decide- BY BARRY LEVINSON

On Tuesday evening, Council Member Bruce Whitaker explained with great specificity why he would be voting against the Fullerton Counterfeit C.O.I.N. ordinance.

 JENNIFER FITZGERALD

JENNIFER FITZGERALD

Council Member Jennifer Fitzgerald,who appears to have taken up the role of an attack dog for the City of Fullerton’s power structure, immediately responded as follows: “You are absolutely wrong.” However, she did not address one of the many specific points that Mr. Whitaker spoke to about the deficiencies in our version of C.O.I.N.  Ms. Fitzgerald it is so, so easy for you to say you are absolutely wrong. If you were a member of a debate team you would receive a failing grade of F. Let me proceed with Ms. Fitzgerald’s remarks. “It follows in the path of C.O.I.N.” Mr. Whitaker explained exactly why it does not follow in the path of C.O.I.N. as represented by the Costa Mesa law. Let me provide you with one last quote from Ms. Fitzgerald. “We are not far enough along in this reform to quibble about these small, little differences.”

Again, Ms. Fitzgerald offers no words of substance, no factual support for her conclusions whatsoever.

Once again, she casts her vote with the two status quo council members, Chaffee and Flory and turns her back on her supposed natural allies, Whitaker and Sebourn as well as the people of Fullerton.  In fact, except for some 5 to 0 votes, I do not believe that Ms. Fitzgerald has ever cast her vote in agreement with Mr. Whitaker on any substantive issue.  What does that tell you folks about Ms. Fitzgerald?

In my opinion, her comments at the July 15, 2014 council meeting were a purely political ploy, which should not be surprising based on her chosen profession as political consultant.  Only now when she speaks she has the backing of her new employer, the consulting firm of Curt Pringle and Associates. I wonder how many Fullerton voters who cast their ballot for Ms. Fitzgerald in 2012, are lamenting their decisions.

Ms. Fitzgerald did plenty of damage to her already eroding credibility by her unsubstantiated statements above.  However, she further damaged her reputation by the following comment.

According Ms. Fitzgerald, Council member Bruce Whitaker is against the Fullerton version of C.O.I.N. because it was not his idea. Ms. Fitzgerald did you not hear Mr. Whitaker’s eloquently provided specific reasons not to be in favor of the Fullerton Counterfeit version of C.O.I.N. just a few minutes before your personal attack? It seems to me that you have a real problem responding to facts presented by opposing positions.

I guess your love for Fullerton Ms. Fitzgerald does not extend to all your fellow council members. You had absolutely no excuse for your behavior toward Council member Whitaker. An apology from you at the next council meeting would be most appropriate. After all, your comments fell way below any basic standards of decency and respect that you should always demonstrate to all your fellow council members.

IS EDWARD SNOWDEN MARK ZUCKERBERG’S COUSIN?

Welcome to 1984 ladies and gentlemen. We really have been there for 30 years.The web of lies is in fact, so intricate that it requires almost 2 brains to navigate it. The screens are lying to us all and that is just the beginning. And you thought the smart TV replaced the idiot box. Would they sterilize all of you by DEPLOYING wireless infrastructure everywhere? Never.
https://thefullertoninformer.com/the-inconvenient-truth-of-the-wireless-agenda/

Would they sterilize children by forcing them to be vaccinated with nano tech laden injections to enter school, force them to use wireless devices once they get inside the classroom and then get them addicted to them at home? Never.

CONTRACTING FOR A NEW TOW TRUCK COMPANY FOR THE CITY OF FULLERTON’S POLICE DEPARTMENT.

BY BARRY LEVINSON

download (9)download (10)

DID ANYONE SUSPECT IT WOULD TAKE THIS LONG FOR THE FPD AND CITY MANAGER TO COME TO THE SAME RECOMMENDATION THAT HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY SHOT DOWN FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS?

Fullerton's Police Chief Dan Hughes

Fullerton’s City Manager Joe Felz

I wonder how many Fullertonians know that the city has given one tow truck company a monopoly on all Fullerton city business since the 1960’s, approximately 50 years. We all know that a lack of competition is bad for the consumer and for the taxpayer. It drives prices up. So why has the FPD including new chief Dan Hughes fought so hard to keep that business in the hands of just one tow truck company, Anaheim Towing. I asked Dan Hughes that question shortly after he became Acting Police Chief. He denied that he cared one way or the other but then the consultant report the FPD contracted for proposed to give all the business again to Anaheim Towing,with only a very small amount of actual work to go to a back-up company that would only be called if Anaheim Towing was not able to handle all work.

The city council had specifically instructed our city manager, Joe Felz to initiate a RFP (Request for Proposal) to go out soliciting bids to divide up the Fullerton City tow truck work between at least two or three different companies equally. What was Mr. Felz’s answer when asked by the council why he had failed to do what the council instructed him to do? He said he misunderstood the council’s  instructions. So many more months were wasted because the city manager did not understand the instructions and for some reason never thought to ask the council for clarification or go back to the video that is online for every council meeting.This consultant report was done by former police officers, now consultants. After they presented it to the council in 2012, they had to admit that all their data was straight from the FPD without any verification by the consultants themselves. This is not an audit but in the accounting business is known as a compilation because all they are doing is compiling information given to them into a user-friendly format. These reports are understood to provide no assurances that the information is correct since no effort was undertaken to verify any of the information contained in this compilation report. So the city paid these consultants tens of thousands of dollars for a report that added little or no value. Good job FPD! Unfortunately, many city governments request this type of consultant report rather frequently. A city tells the consultant what conclusions they want to see and the consultant for a handsome fee is glad to provide a very nice report that supports the cities desired results. These reports may not be completely inaccurate or misleading but fall short of the totally objective reports that the public both deserves and should demand.Based on this revelation it was back to the drawing board for the FPD to come up with a better plan! That was supposed to take 4-6 months. Now two years later, I see another attempt by the FPD, the presenting department to get a new tow-trucking contract passed by council on March 18, 2014. After all these many years, with various different councils trying to get a new towing contract with several new tow trucking companies to support our FPD, we see a very familiar recommendation from our FPD. They have rated the same company we have given a monopoly to for over 50 years as the top rated company, Anaheim-Fullerton (formerly Anaheim Towing) and they recommend that we give all the business to only one or at most two companies. FPD must believe that monopolies are good and competition is bad!However, FPD should know that monopolies with the same company are not the way to go forward. We have seen the problems related to towing companies and their relationships with several California cities including El Monte. Should we not heed some of the past and current council members who state it is time to give this contract to different tow companies? I am just having a real hard time understanding what the FPD considers fair andcompetitive when they continue to cling to recommending one company above all others for the last 50 plus years! My education,(MBA), work experience (Ernst & Young CPA firm and Northrop Grumman), in the financial, accounting and auditing fields informs me that having a monopoly with the same company for over 50 years is a terrible business practice. The fact that the FPD wants to extend this practice should send up red flags over every residence and business in this city.

Fullerton’s City wide WiFi proposal-An Agenda 21/NSA trial run Trojan Horse?

images (36)

Folks, there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch and every gimmick has a catch. Whether or not you agree with the thousands of peer reviewed scientific studies and researchers that conclude wireless is harmful, the privacy aspect of city wide WiFi is a whole other issue.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, Agenda 21 is a Fullerton thing. Make no bones about it. You all need to be aware that the euphemism “sustainable development” has been whispered into your ear instead of the real deal which is Agenda 21.

HIGH RISE, SARDINE CAN HOUSING CLOAKED BY AN ALL SEEING WIRELESS MICROWAVE MATRIX IS THE MODEL.

STACK ‘EM HIGH, PACK ‘EM IN, FLIP THE SWITCH AND BATHE THEM IN THE EMISSIONS.

Several months ago, I mentioned to the council that building codes should be amended to include RF shielding in multifamily housing units.  Ironically, Jan Flory feebly attempted to mock my Autism/wireless hypothesis and publicly conjure up the notion that my wireless concerns have no business being presented to the council, I politely reminded her that a lot more towers were coming. Well maybe they finally are. Folks you cannot afford to look the other way on this one.>

Wireless  infrastructure and wireless devices are being peddled to us as a benefit. They are being jammed down our children’s throats in the classrooms as a necessity and the infrastructure is creeping ever closer to our homes and businesses disguised as palm trees or literally in plain view. By no means am  I alone in believing the general health, well being, and most importantly, the fertility of us and our children is on the line.

HERE ARE  ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX  Reference Links to Peer-Reviewed Studies re RF Microwave Radiation  RIGHT HERE

http://citizensforsafetechnology.org/Electrosmog-Bibliography-COLLECTIONS,28,3376

What Citywide WiFi amounts to is a massive V.I.P. back door entrance to the wireless devices’ trap doors for electronic eavesdropping purposes. They also make the entire matrix including anything connected to it extremely vulnerable to cyber attacks.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/proofpoint-uncovers-internet-things-iot-173000187.html

Don’t kid yourselves folks, the NSA is as strong as ever and WiFi networks are about as secure as a Brazilian bank account.

Don’t fall for the latest  smoke and mirrors filled theater to get your eyes off of the ball. http://benswann.com/breaking-maryland-legislators-move-to-kill-nsa-headquarters/

Yeah, and next they will tell about the layoffs that are coming at the NSA.
They don’t need the building anymore because they moved to the basement long ago.

EVERY WIRELESS, WIFI ENABLED DEVICE IS A TWO WAY TRANSMITTER. THEY ALL HAVE BUILT IN TRAP DOORS THAT CAN BE ACCESSED REMOTELY.

images (39)

WHETHER IT BE A CELLPHONE, TABLET, LAPTOP, DESKTOP, TV, DVR, DECT PHONE, SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEM, BABY MONITOR, SMART APPLIANCES, STOVE, OVEN, FRIDGE, XBOX, PLAYSTATION, AND WHATEVER ELSE THAT GETS ADDED TO THE LIST, THEY ALL CAN OR DO OPERATE AND BROADCAST ON A FREQUENCY OF EITHER 2.4 OR 5.0 GHz. THIS COULD BESTOW THE WIFI NETWORKS’ OPERATORS, AUTHORIZED OR NOT, CARTE BLANCE ACCESS TO EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE. WITH THE OLD WIRED CONNECTIONS, THEY WOULD NEED TO TAP INTO EACH OF THE DEVICES’ WIRES. NOW WHAT THEY HAVE EFFECTIVELY DONE IS WIRED ALL THE CONNECTIONS TO THEIR SYSTEM WITHOUT A WIRE. AND YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING ALL THIS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER? YEAH RIGHT. 

Snowden is leaking because they want you to look at the dinosaur and the outdated building hooked up to the old copper wires. You see, while behind your backs, and under your noses, in your bedrooms,  living rooms, kitchens and classrooms and even in your kids laps, they now potentially have unlimited access. Now they could theoretically just push a button and tap into all of the wireless networks and decide what channel they want to watch. Warrants? What are those? Fusion centers? Are those  Japanese restaurants?

The old copper wire infrastructure used to require several city blocks of  Cray computers and a 10,000 heads to log and keep tabs on us. Well, now with everything wireless, they can take the show on the road, utilize other infrastructure and some of the apparatuses can now fit into a  large van on a street corner with current advances in technology.

City wide WiFi also amounts to a form of forced irradiation at both 2.4 and 5.0 GHz at power levels that are trillions of times the normal background levels in that particular part of the electromagnetic spectrum. For the record, Fukashima is elevating our background levels of ionizing radiation by less than a factor of one. WiFi by a factor of a trillion, so  tell me about all this “low power” nonsense. FCC exposure guidelines green light emission levels below cooking of tissue. They deviously, totally ignore non-thermal effects.

https://thefullertoninformer.com/the-epa-tells-it-like-it-is-will-the-fsd/

Waves of non ionizing radiation  have energy and in the presence of metals can be amplified tremendously. Stick a fork in a microwave and watch 3 million volts in action come out of a 110 volt appliance.

WiFi is low power compared to what?  A microwave oven?  Long term, the residents will be paying for it in more ways than they can imagine. The RF industry’s irresponsible, reckless, and unabated proliferation of these devices along with their pulse modulated microwave emissions has been given the green light by design. Slick Willy got the Agenda 21 ball rolling in 1993  when he doled out the dough for the APA to write a land use legislative blueprint for every municipality in The U.S. Then he signed the Telecom Act after a night on the town with his Glass Steagall repealing party buddies and set it all in motion. Come to think of it, this was right around the time he mandated the chiva slamming  hooker vaccine(the hepatitis shot) for newborns which is given to babies within minutes of birth. The point is that there are and have been problems at the highest levels for some time now and they have us running on a treadmill chasing our tails while they cook our goose and close the walls in. Oh yeah and the lip service begins while the trojan horse rolls into town.

Regardless of whether or not you have health concerns about wireless, you are not alone and this site contains no less than 75 unique posts containing studies and links to thousands of other studies that are sure to get your attention and maybe even prove to you that beyond a shadow of a doubt, at the very least, wireless has no place in our children’s classrooms, much less on the light pole next to your child’s bedroom window. Even if you remain unconvinced of the health hazards, you still would have reason to be gravely concerned over the potential for 4th amendment violations with this technology.

I think what Snowden leaked is just the tip of the iceberg. The technology is decades ahead of what they allow us to be privy too.
If you ever had any privacy concerns, I would say the following article would be worthy of your undivided attention.

CSEC used airport Wi-Fi to track Canadian travellers: Edward Snowden documents

Electronic snooping was part of a trial run for U.S. NSA and other foreign services

A top secret document retrieved by U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden and obtained by CBC News shows that Canada’s electronic spy agency used information from the free internet service at a major Canadian airport to track the wireless devices of thousands of ordinary airline passengers for days after they left the terminal.
After reviewing the document, one of Canada’s foremost authorities on cyber-security says the clandestine operation by the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) was almost certainly illegal.
Ronald Deibert told CBC News: “I can’t see any circumstance in which this would not be unlawful, under current Canadian law, under our Charter, under CSEC’s mandates.”
The spy agency is supposed to be collecting primarily foreign intelligence by intercepting overseas phone and internet traffic, and is prohibited by law from targeting Canadians or anyone in Canada without a judicial warrant.
As CSEC chief John Forster recently stated: “I can tell you that we do not target Canadians at home or abroad in our foreign intelligence activities, nor do we target anyone in Canada.
“In fact, it’s prohibited by law. Protecting the privacy of Canadians is our most important principle.”
But security experts who have been apprised of the document point out the airline passengers in a Canadian airport were clearly in Canada.
CSEC said in a written statement to CBC News that it is “mandated to collect foreign signals intelligence to protect Canada and Canadians. And in order to fulfill that key foreign intelligence role for the country, CSEC is legally authorized to collect and analyze metadata.”
Metadata reveals a trove of information including, for example, the location and telephone numbers of all calls a person makes and receives — but not the content of the call, which would legally be considered a private communication and cannot be intercepted without a warrant.
“No Canadian communications were (or are) targeted, collected or used,” the agency says.
In the case of the airport tracking operation, the metadata apparently identified travelers’ wireless devices, but not the content of calls made or emails sent from them.

Black Code

Deibert is author of the book Black Code: Inside the Battle for Cyberspace, which is about internet surveillance, and he heads the world-renowned Citizen Lab cyber research program at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs.
He says that whatever CSEC calls it, the tracking of those passengers was nothing less than an “indiscriminate collection and analysis of Canadians’ communications data,” and he could not imagine any circumstances that would have convinced a judge to authorize it.

Cellphone-travel

A passenger checks his cellphone while boarding a flight in Boston in October. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued new guidelines under which passengers will be able to use electronic devices from the time they board to the time they leave the plane, which will also help electronic spies to keep tabs on them. (Associated Press)
The latest Snowden document indicates the spy service was provided with information captured from unsuspecting travellers’ wireless devices by the airport’s free Wi-Fi system over a two-week period.
Experts say that probably included many Canadians whose smartphone and laptop signals were intercepted without their knowledge as they passed through the terminal.
The document shows the federal intelligence agency was then able to track the travellers for a week or more as they — and their wireless devices — showed up in other Wi-Fi “hot spots” in cities across Canada and even at U.S. airports.
That included people visiting other airports, hotels, coffee shops and restaurants, libraries, ground transportation hubs, and any number of places among the literally thousands with public wireless internet access.
The document shows CSEC had so much data it could even track the travellers back in time through the days leading up to their arrival at the airport, these experts say.
While the documents make no mention of specific individuals, Deibert and other cyber experts say it would be simple for the spy agency to have put names to all the Canadians swept up in the operation.
All Canadians with a smartphone, tablet or laptop are “essentially carrying around digital dog tags as we go about our daily lives,” Deibert says.
Anyone able to access the data that those devices leave behind on wireless hotspots, he says, can obtain “extraordinarily precise information about our movements and social relationships.”

Trial run for NSA

The document indicates the passenger tracking operation was a trial run of a powerful new software program CSEC was developing with help from its U.S. counterpart, the National Security Agency.
In the document, CSEC called the new technologies “game-changing,” and said they could be used for tracking “any target that makes occasional forays into other cities/regions.”
Sources tell CBC News the technologies tested on Canadians in 2012 have since become fully operational.
CSEC claims “no Canadian or foreign travellers’ movements were ‘tracked,'” although it does not explain why it put the word “tracked” in quotation marks.
Deibert says metadata is “way more powerful than the content of communications. You can tell a lot more about people, their habits, their relationships, their friendships, even their political preferences, based on that type of metadata.”
The document does not say exactly how the Canadian spy service managed to get its hands on two weeks’ of travellers’ wireless data from the airport Wi-Fi system, although there are indications it was provided voluntarily by a “special source.”
The country’s two largest airports — Toronto and Vancouver — both say they have never supplied CSEC or other Canadian intelligence agency with information on passengers’ Wi-Fi use.
Alana Lawrence, a spokesperson for the Vancouver Airport Authority, says it operates the free Wi-Fi there, but does “not in any way store any personal data associated with it,” and has never received a request from any Canadian intelligence agency for it.
A U.S.-based company, Boingo, is the largest independent supplier of Wi-Fi services at other Canadian airports, including Pearson International in Toronto.
Spokesperson Katie O’Neill tells CBC News: “To the best of our knowledge, [Boingo] has not provided any information about any of our users to the Canadian government, law enforcement or intelligence agencies.”
It is also unclear from the document how CSEC managed to penetrate so many wireless systems to see who was using them — specifically, to know every time someone targeted at the airport showed up on one of those other Wi-Fi networks elsewhere.
Deibert and other experts say the federal intelligence agency must have gained direct access to at least some of the country’s main telephone and internet pipelines, allowing the mass-surveillance of Canadian emails and phone calls.

‘Blown away’

Ontario’s privacy commissioner Ann Cavoukian says she is “blown away” by the revelations.
“It is really unbelievable that CSEC would engage in that kind of surveillance of Canadians. Of us.
“I mean that could have been me at the airport walking around… This resembles the activities of a totalitarian state, not a free and open society.”

 Ann Cavoukian

Experts say the document makes clear CSEC intended to share both the technologies and future information generated by it with Canada’s official spying partners — the U.S., Britain, New Zealand and Australia, the so-called Five Eyes intelligence network.
Indeed, the spy agency boasts in its leaked document that, in an apparently separate pilot project, it obtained access to two communications systems with more than 300,000 users, and was then able to “sweep” an entire mid-sized Canadian city to pinpoint a specific imaginary target in a fictional kidnapping.
The document dated May 2012 is a 27-page power-point presentation by CSEC describing its airport tracking operation.
While the document was in the trove of secret NSA files retrieved by Snowden, it bears CSEC’s logo and clearly originated with the Canadian spy service.
Wesley Wark, a renowned authority on international security and intelligence, agrees with Deibert.
“I cannot see any way in which it fits CSEC’s legal mandate.”
Wark says the document suggests CSEC was “trying to push the technological boundaries” in part to impress its other international counterparts in the Five-Eyes intelligence network.
“This document is kind of suffused with the language of technological gee-whiz.”
Wark says if CSEC’s use of “very powerful and intrusive technological tools” puts it outside its mandate and even the law, “then you are in a situation for democracy where you simply don’t want to be.”
Like Wark and other experts interviewed for this story, Deibert says there’s no question Canada needs CSEC to be gathering foreign intelligence, “but they must do it within a framework of proper checks and balances so their formidable powers can never be abused. And that’s the missing ingredient right now in Canada.”
The only official oversight of CSEC’s spying operations is a retired judge appointed by the prime minister, and reporting to the minister of defence who is also responsible for the intelligence agency.
“Here we clearly have an agency of the state collecting in an indiscriminate and bulk fashion all of Canadian communications and the oversight mechanism is flimsy at best,” Deibert says.
“Those to me are circumstances ripe for potential abuse.”
CSEC spends over $400 million a year, and employs about 2,000 people, almost half of whom are involved in intercepting phone conversations, and hacking into computer systems supposedly in other countries.
It has long been Canada’s most secretive spy agency, responding to almost all questions about its operations with reassurances it is doing nothing wrong.
Privacy watchdog Cavoukian says there has to be “greater openness and transparency because without that there can be no accountability.
“This trust-me model that the government is advancing and CSEC is advancing – ‘Oh just trust us, we’re doing the right thing, don’t worry’ — yes, worry! We have very good reason to worry.”
In the U.S., Snowden exposed massive metadata collection by the National Security Agency, which is said to have scooped up private phone and internet records of more than 100 million Americans.
A U.S. judge recently called the NSA’s metadata collection an Orwellian surveillance program that is likely unconstitutional.
The public furor over NSA snooping prompted a White House review of the American spy agency’s operations, and President Barack Obama recently vowed to clamp down on the collection and use of metadata.
Cavoukian says Canadians deserve nothing less.
“Look at the U.S. — they’ve been talking about these matters involving national security for months now very publicly because the public deserves answers.
“And that’s what I would tell our government, our minister of national defence and our prime minister: We demand some answers to this.”
