TIMELINE: ACTIVIST TARGETED FOR DISSENT?


After reviewing "THE SUNNYVALE FIRE DEPARTMENT" Addendum Blog post (see above) it occurred to John that this incident happened back in November 2005. Then after reviewing the very first SUPERBIRDLAND! web page @ http://likroper.com > click on the SUPERBIRDLAND! web page @ http://likroper.com/superbirdlandarchive.html (see excerpts below) > it occurred to John that this targeted stalking and harassment campaign was happening due to Johns' vapid dissent. John had attended a Sunnyvale City Council meeting in February 2005 -- and by November 2005; Johns' residence was apparently under attack by rogue 'covert' local government forces -- then later by Santa Clara Police Officer Don Paolinettis' sons and their friends; etc etc etc. > GO TO: THANKS FOR NOTHING @ http://addendumblog1.blogspot.com/2015/04/thanks-for-nothing.html.
 
The following text is an excerpt from Johns' SUPERBIRDLAND! web page. Aware of the way many friendly and/or insulting folks within government tend to think; the following text will likely be considered to be "a rambling response" (it was typed in small case on purpose; as John obviously knows how to capitalize correctly > see questions 1-21 below). Regardless; it clearly shows how determined John was to save the Peterson field. 

And not only did John successfully stop a widely despised new building development in the Peterson field; but he also brought on the wrath of local government trying to destabilize Johns' valiant efforts during the bogus post 911 era of fear and/or lies and/or corruption. 

(YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! > GO TO: A MOUNTAIN RANGE OF EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE @ http://addendumblog1.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-mountain-range-of-exculpatory-evidence.html)

5 feb 2006 / VERBAL ASSESSMENT - a city council meeting regarding the peterson middle school field was held in the sunnyvale city council chambers on tuesday january 24th 2006...among many verbal interjections, i made a comment around the end of the meeting regarding the british parliamentarty system of governance...the parliamentary system allows for free expression throughout the proceedings, allowing thoughts and ideas that would otherwise be ignored or forgotten to get through and become part of the 'mass consciousness' so to speak, and i believe that this produces a better end result...this system needs to be applied to american politics everywhere from city council meetings to the US congress...

there are no rules when it comes to the political process, as the sky is the limit - so by 'wrongfully' interjecting my ideas during the council meeting in a parliamentary fashion, i made my voice rise up above the relative silence and added a much needed dissenting perspective to the proceedings...i see medea benjamin doing this kind of stuff all the time, and she has definitely influenced me...medea has been thrown out of countless government meetings for mouthing off and muckraking in general; thus i almost got thrown out by otto lee at the end of the meeting...

but you know; if the SCUSD can poison a protected species and suffer no recourse, why should i be worried about exercising my unalienable rights?...not worried about it...let's put it this way; i have many asian friends and i do not mean to be disrespectful but - maybe otto lee should move over china for a year then come back and see if he still wants me to shut up...i think we need to take 'decorum' and forcefully throw it out the window...

(but! i got a good vibe from council members chris moylan, dean chu and melinda hamilton - as they seem to be on our neighborhood's side, so here are their email addresses: CHRIS MOYLAN @ cmoylan@stanford.edu DEAN CHU @ CouncilDeanChu@yahoo.com MELINDA HAMILTON @ mhamilton@ci.sunnyvale.ca.us)

one should not be afraid to express one's outrage, and if i broke any rules, well - i didn't see any rules displayed anywhere, did you?...and besides; some rules are meant to be broken if their implementation breaks other rules which may supersede them (like the first amendment, for instance)...many in government really do not want us to speak completely freely at hearings because it just gets too messy and they can't always get what they want; they cannot fully control us and therefore the political process...maybe they prefer us all to be a bit mentally constipated like them...

unfortunately i see the first amendment as a BIG wide open door allowing all of us to do and say pretty much whatever we damn well please, as this was the original intent of the amendment - but some in government would obviously beg to differ...oh, and by the way; i recently found out that some of my ancestors came over on the mayflower to start this country, so i take this 'first amendment' stuff seriously... 

anyway, i see the city council proceedings as being very similar to the highly controlled atmosphere of court rooms, churches and schools - and let's just say while i respect the establishment of organized religion, i am not a big fan of the post-newtonian era of order first imposed upon organized religion - then to the rest of society later on...there is supposed to be a separation between church and state... 

just as one man's treasure is another man's trash; evolution to one person can often spell devolution to another; as this 'new' newtonian universe appears to be somewhat limited if you look at it sideways...newton only explained the basic physics of a falling STATIONARY object, not a falling SPINNING object - a falling, spinning object travels and/or falls farther and at a higher rate of speed than the falling stationary object (see: richard c hoagland 'hyperdimensional physics @ http://www.enterprisemission.com/) and if this is arcanely applied to politics, then the order imposed upon society at large by the post-newtonian judeo-christian tradition was in a sense unnecessary restraint, and could in fact be an impediment of sorts; as in a sense stationary suggests stagnation while spinning suggests progression...american democracy has been in a constant state of flux since 1776, and this will not change anytime soon...the only thing that never changes is that things will always be the same...

> also! i heard the sunnyvale city officials talking around the end of the meeting about doing 'outreach'...hmmm...well, haven't we just had almost two years of meetings and/or 'outreach' so far?...the ozaki/roper plaza idea (see below) was well received at one of the 'outreach' meetings a few months back in the peterson cafeteria, but roger barnes of the SCUSD ignored the idea...why?...do they actually want to follow a plan that the neighbors approve of, or is this just all for show?...

mister barnes from the SCUSD was saying something about dogs on the peterson field and kids being in danger (yeh right) etc etc etc - the usual 'what about the children!?!' nonsense...it is one thing to 'protect the children' - and another to use it as an excuse to get what you want, and i think the SCUSD and the government in general is beginning to use the 'what about the children' thing to violate everyone's rights and get whatever the hell they want at every turn... 

it used to be that elvis and his shaking hips were a 'threat' to the children, then the beatles and/or john lennon, (etc) now anything and everything any paranoid, neurotic parent wants it to be falls into the same dangerous category as elvis and the beatles; janet jackson's breast; howard stern; twisted sister; etc...so how is all this neurotic overprotection of children through mind control of others and/or censorship really any different than the actions of oppressive north korean leader kim jong-il?...

(both republicans and democrats use the 'what about the children' thing to violate individual 'unalienable' rights; and republicans often use terrorists as an excuse to violate individual rights as well, so that in a sense puts children on the same level as terrorists when it comes to manipulating those around them)...

well, i've got news for you all; i used to play with my friends in the patrick henry/peterson field when i was a kid, and there was a pack of wild dogs who roamed just behind a fence inside an area where old farm equipment was stored (right where the condos adjacent to the peterson tennis courts now are)...we used to taunt them, then run over and jump up on the monkey bars to escape them...they would eventually go away, and none of us ever got bit...so, if i never got officially attacked amidst all that, the kids nowadays have nothing to worry about, trust me; because the dogs that are walked on the peterson field now are all pretty tame...people worry too much nowadays about everything and nothing if you ask me...

back in high school i had a friend name kip bautista who could literally ride a wheelie all the way from home to school without having his front tire touch the ground, so seeing all these kids with bicycle helmets seems a little wimpy to me - sorry about that!...as a kid i wiped out, got thrown from my bike and fell on my head with no helmet a couple times, and i'm just fine...

the most amazing thing about all of this (besides having a zit on my nose the night of the city council meeting and still going on camera anyway - and the fact that i still get zits) is that i actually dropped out of peterson high school way back in 1978 or so...i'de have been happy if they bull dozed the school back then, but i have changed dramatically since and want to save the school as it was then...and let's face it; since lik roper sort of attended peterson high school with the class of 1981, it should be considered a historic site, should it not?... 

at meetings' end i still had no idea what the outcome was, because those city people speak in legal double speak on purpose to confuse us all...all i know is this; now that the honorable lik roper has officially entered the picture, sunnyvale politics will never be the same...it looks like the peterson field will be spared for now, but the neighborhood must remain vigilant to ensure its' preservation as open space, so STAY TUNED...

and just remember; the peterson property was once slated to be the future location of the amusement park 'frontier village, but the neighbors successfully fought the plan - and the patrick henry property was once targeted to be a high density housing complex, and the neighbors stopped that as well - SO WE CAN DO THIS PEOPLE - WE CAN STOP THE SCUSD FROM SELLING OFF THE PETERSON FIELD!... 

i think we have been focusing on the wrong parcel; if any land is sold to a developer, it should be the acreage which consists of the tennis courts and part of the parking lot that is 85% empty most of the time anyway...middle school students to not drive yet, so the space is not needed...

and i question the $200,000 price tag of land upkeep when it comes to field maintenance...they should open the books, show us the costs behind everything and allow us to create a low cost solution to solve the problem...i have at least five people willing to volunteer for field maintenance, but the SCUSD doesn't want to talk about it...and! if part of the land was dedicated as wildlife habitat, then it would costs little or nothing to maintain, as ecosystems pretty much run on their own once they get up and running...

oh, and i talked to a girl who said that the city of sunnyvale IS NOT the one to call if you need to report animal abuse - she said santa clara county is much better in dealing with this kind of thing, as sunnyvale is reknowned for being half-assed when it comes to animal protection...apparently the county is helping to protect wild animals by ignoring most complaints coming from residential areas...people often want to build on or move into areas that are smack dab in the middle of a complicated ecosystem, and animals within those ecosystems must be protected to ensure their survival and future population recovery...

> 25 jan 2005 / A SUNNYVALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING REGARDING THE PETERSON FIELD ON TUESDAY JANUARY 24TH 2006 @ 7PM WAS HELD IN THE COUNCIL TORTURE CHAMBERS!?! 

I had a laundry list of questionable items to spew out (on camera) in rapid fire succession at the city council meeting, but i only got to a few; here are some of the issues i discussed and some i did not: - 1) WHY DID SUNNYVALE ANIMAL CONTROL RESCUE AND RETURN AN IMPERILED CAT FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ONE WEEK, BUT REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SCUSD POISONING OF THE FEDERALLY PROTECTED GROUND SQUIRRELS IN THE PETERSON FIELD? - 2) HOW COULD I HAVE SENT A COMPLAINT BY EMAIL ABOUT ABUSE OF THE PETERSON FIELD ONE WEEK - AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW DEVELOPMENT PLANS WERE DRAWN UP IN SECRET AS IF IT WAS A DONE DEAL WITH NO NEIGHBORHOOD INPUT? SINCE I STARTED THIS WHOLE PROCESS, I CAN STOP IT AS WELL WITH FIRM RESOLVE...I WILL NOT BUDGE ON THIS ONE - 3) WHO BRIBED WHO TO RAM THIS DEAL THROUGH WITHOUT NEIGHBORHOOD APPROVAL? - 4) WHY HAVE I BEEN REPEATEDLY HASSLED BY THE SUNNYVALE POLICE ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM PICKING UP LITTER TO PUTTING A SAFETY CONE OUT IN THE STREET SINCE STARTING MY OPPOSITION TO THE FIELD PLAN? - AND! WHO IS GOING TO JAIL FOR POISONING THOSE GROUND SQUIRRELS? - 5) HOW CAN YOU ALL CONSIDER YOURSELF GOOD DEMOCRATS IF YOU ARE EVEN FOR A SECOND CONSIDERING THE DESTRUCTION OF PROTECTED SPECIES HABITAT AND/OR ECO-TERRORISM AND/OR TERRORISM AGAINST AN ECOSYSTEM IN THE PETERSON FIELD? - 6) DID YOU KNOW THAT ENDANGERED BURROWING OWLS HAVE BEEN SEEN ON THE PETERSON PROPERTY AS RECENTLY AS A YEAR AGO, AND I POSSESS EVIDENCE OF THEIR INADVERTENT HABITAT DESTRUCTION? - 7) DID YOU KNOW THAT THE LAST THING I SPOKE TO ROGER BARNES ABOUT AT ONE OF THE LAST SCUSD MEETINGS WAS THE WILDLIFE LIVING IN THE PETERSON FIELD THAT MAY HALT DEVELOPMENT, AND SHORTLY AFTER THIS MEETING THE WILDLIFE WAS THEN POISONED TO IN A SENSE DESTROY EVIDENCE OF A PROTECTED SPECIES AND THEREFORE MAKE WAY FOR DEVELOPMENT? - 8) IS THAT YOUR IDEA OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW? - 9) WE HAVE HAD ABOUT 5 MEETINGS REGARDING THE PETERSON FIELD NOW, SO HOW MANY PUBLIC HEARINGS DO WE NEED BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY HEAR WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY? - 10) ARE YOU ALL DEAF, OR WHAT? - 11) WHY IS IT WHEN DUCKS GOT RUN OVER IN CAMPBELL, THE POLICE PURSUED THE PERPETRATOR AND THE STORY BECAME A NATIONAL OUTRAGE, BUT WHEN FEDERALLY PROTECTED DUCKS GOT REPEATEDLY RUN OVER IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE LAST SPRING, THE SUNNYVALE POLICE DID NOTHING ABOUT IT? - 12) WHY WOULD THE CITY OF SUNNYVALE HAVE RECENTLY AGREED TO TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF MAINTAINING THE PATRICK HENRY FIELD - WHILE DECLINING TO TAKE CARE OF THE PETERSON FIELD, UNLESS THEY HAVE ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MINDS ABOUT THE PETERSON FIELD? - 13) WHAT IS THE TOTAL CO$T OF MAINTAINING THE PETERSON FIELD? - 14) THE COST OF MAINTAINING THE PETERSON FIELD HAS BEEN ESTIMATED AT AROUND $250,000 PER YEAR, BUT DON'T YOU THINK THE FIELD CAN BE MAINTAINED FOR WAY LESS MONEY USING NEIGHBORHOOD VOLUNTEERS? - 15) WHY DID THE OLD PETERSON FIELD MAINTENANCE GUY (CRAIG) REGULARLY CLEAN UP LITTER IN THE FIELD, BUT THE NEW GUY REFUSES TO DO SO? - 16) WHY WON'T THE SUNNYVALE POLICE PATROL MY STREET FOR SPEEDERS SINCE THEY HAVE RECENTLY AND OPPORTUNISTICALLY DECIDED THAT THIS END OF THE STREET IS WITHIN THEIR JURISDICTION? - 17) WHY DID I RECEIVE A BOGUS RESTRAINING ORDER AFTER BEING ATTACKED BY A NEIGHBOR IN THE STREET A FEW YEARS BACK? - 18) AND WHY DIDN'T THE SUNNYVALE POLICE ARREST THE VIOLENT HATE-CRIMER WHO CAME TO MY DOOR AT 2 AM MAKING THREATS A FEW MONTHS AGO? - 19) WHY DID IT TAKE 13 YEARS TO GET A NEW TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICE INSTALLED IN THE RAYNOR PARK AREA? (SEE: 'CHECK OUT THIS TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICE' STORY BELOW) - 20) WHAT ARE THE TRAFFIC TOLERANCE LEVELS OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD? - 21) WHO ARE THE IDIOTS IN CONTROL OF ALL THIS CRAP?...etcetcetc... 

i did this same kind of thing at a santa clara city council meeting a few years back, and they bumped our next neighborhood meeting over to a tiny isolated room so i would not be on camera at the next meeting; a form of damage control...that mean-spirited city council member bitch patricia mahan gave me the most EVIL look i have EVER gotten from ANYONE while i was speaking, and in a HUGE violation of my unalienable civil rights; i was WRONGFULLY threatened with arrest the very next day!...ms. mahan was focusing her dark energies on me with a vengence, but i cut through the mustard and got my message through anyway, obviously much to her chagrine....they're all just lucky i didn't sue their pants off!...

i strongly suspect that the city of santa clara refuses to patrol our street for speeders (our end of the street is santa clara jurisdiction, not sunnyvale, you jokers down at the sunnyvale police department!...get your shit together!) and/or place any permanent traffic calming measures because of this; MY DISSENT (patricia mahan is now mayor)...why would that anonymous santa clara traffic engineer have told me the holdup on the traffic calming on our street was 'a political one'? (see: apolitical holdup' story below)... 

the bottom line is this: the government often makes people pay for speaking out by DOING NOTHING when they need help, while corporations pay for their influence through campaign contributions etc...some pay for what they say; others pay to play...anyway...

furthermore; let's look at the facts, people - we all know that everything from: 1) the reduction of global warming gases through stepped-up industrial constraints and/or increased enforcement of current environmental regulations; 2) to the protection of carbon sinks and/or forest canopies through increased forest protections; 3) to the protection of wildlife habitat and/or biological diversity - is essential to the protection of our planetary homeostasis and/or the future of the human race - so let us not take this 'environmental protection' stuff lightly... 

the county of santa clara has recently embarked on a large scale wildlife and open space conservation effort, and the peterson field is a good place for the county to start their valiant efforts - please email your SANTA CLARA COUNTY SUPERVISORS - DONALD F. GAGE @ don.gage@bos.co.santa-clara.ca.us / BLANCA ALVARADO @ blanca.alvarado@bos.co.santa-clara.ca.us / PETE MCHUGH @ primo.mchugh@bos.co.scl.ca.us / JAMES T.

Subject: JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER! - IF THE CITY OF SUNNYVALE AND/OR THE SCUSD PLANS ON BUILDING ANY NEW HOUSES IN THE PETERSON FIELD - I WILL GET IN FRONT OF THE BULL DOZERS!" - (tiananmen square note: what is the difference between a tank and a bull dozer?) 

> 20 jan 2006 - just like i predicted, the justice department released some bogus ELF/ALF (and/or the FBI/CIA) propaganda today just in time for the city council meeting on tuesday!...tell you what; tell dick cheney and his entire crooked crew to take their 'top-down' authority and GO STRAIGHT TO HELL EARLIER THAN THEY ARE EXPECTED! - i will not spend ONE MINUTE in jail nor in court for usage of my UNALIENABLE first amendment rights - I DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH GOVERNMENT TERRORISTS - TAKE YOUR PATRIOT ACT AND STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE, MISTER BUSH! - you will have to use your terrorist government police thugs to shoot me dead or run me over with a bull dozer if you want houses in the peterson field! - yup; i plan on a LEGAL, NON-VIOLENT PROTEST - i'm serious as a fucking heart attack, bush administration and/or city of sunnyvale; take your bogus ELF-ALF propaganda AND FUCK OFF! - i am willing to die to protect and defend my homeland, i just refuse to join the US military and kill anyone to do it - there is a big difference between being willing to die - and willing to kill - to protect your homeland - i am willing to die as i do not fear death...

the bottom line is this: OVER MY DEAD BODY WILL ANY HOUSES GO INTO THE PETERSON FIELD; and! if the government would just as soon have me dead to put a few houses into that field, then I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD THAT PLACES THEIR MONEY BEFORE MY LIFE - YOU GOT IT?...i'm not crazy, in fact i'm the only sane one left!...furthermore; WHEN THE PEOPLE FEAR THEIR GOVERNMENT - THERE IS TYRANNY - BUT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT FEARS THE PEOPLE - THERE IS LIBERTY - (THOMAS JEFFERSON) and some things never change... 

> 30 dec 2005 / WHAT HAPPENED? - i talked to a neighbor friend today and got the scoop on the december 14th hearing at sunnyvale city hall regarding the peterson middle school field; 1) apparently the SCUSD has offered the 8 acres of land in question at the reduced price of 45% off the original price of roughly 3 million dollars per acre plus the cost of inflation, but - 2) the sunnyvale planning commission has recommended against the sale of the land (partially due to the large amount of neighbors against the plan), and this could stop any development from happening, but - 3) the city council does not necesarily have to follow the recommendation of the planning commission, as it can be ignored if they so desire, and - 4) apparently three members of the city council (and i'm not sure which three) have gone on the record as being pro-development while one is against it, but i'm not sure about the others - 5) an open space organization like the trust for public land (or TPL) @ http://www.tpl.org/ could aquire a portion of the land for open space, and that would in theory make the rest of the land off limits to development / go to: http://www.tpl.org/ext_contact_us.cfm or email TPL @  webmaster@tpl.org and ask them to look at aquiring a portion of the peterson field for open space and/or wildlife habitat - 6) the saber cats football team was originally going to relocate elsewhere, but recent negotiations will keep them at the patrick henry property for the next two years minimum (fry's electronics owns the saber cats) - 7) there is no number seven right now, but if i think of one i will tell you...
