Hillside Covenant Church - Magnolia Drive Walnut Creek

Hillside Covenant Church

Meeting Hillside members and receiving their free lunch was supposed to be a good thing but for me it wasn't as unknown to me was Kieth Lynds who was their Youth Director arranged with others to have me killed en-route from Walnut Creek to Lafayette where the plan was he was going to meet for Karaoke.  My car was totaled at First/Deer Hill Road and Lynds never showed.  

Within six months my car was totaled, I was in jail and my sons were gone.  The accident was July 20th, 2011, I was being followed through Walnut Creek by a Contra Costa District Attorney Investigator where I was able get his plates which were passed to the FBI. 

I was forced to sell my car for scrap, the tow company dropped me off at the Walnut Creek Library where I fell asleep in Civic Park awoken by a grounds keeper riding a mower.  Within minutes I was stopped by police with allegations that I'd attacked a city worker riding a mower.  
That was Captain Tim Schultz, Sgt. Mike Chan and I believe the guy following me through Walnut Creek, he's a DA inspector or Walnut Creek Detective.  Either way this group was trying to kill me but worse is the Chief and City Managers offices have clear views of events including me chasing Sgt. Chan with my laptop camera on

FBI Agent Frank Doyle Jr. - The FBI Bomb School Bombed Judi Bari

PER0005_Smith

Frank Doyle Jr. and the FBI Bomb School 

In 1988, IRS Agent Shannon Hodges car explodes in Walnut Creek near Citrus Circle are, not far from Safeway Offices on Oak Road / Ygnacio Valley Road.

In March 1988, the FBI arrived at 546 Bliss Ave, Pittsburg CA, his name FBI Agent Frank Doyle Jr., his message was to sell my my million dollar operation before I was killed.  

Little did I realize his connections to the bombing case with Judi Bari, that leads to the attempt on the life of an IRS Agent, and the murder of Police Officer Lester Garnier and Safeway Manager Cynthia Kempf. 

Perfectly Framed

On my other posts about FBI Agent Frank Doyle Jr. my goal has been to introduce his name to the CNET Scandal, Bomb Squads and show is direct connection to
Southern Pacific, my cabinet shop and moving lumber from the North Coast to the Bay Area.

The biggest clue came from the old Interstate Commerce Commission where they forced SP to keep open several rail lines from Eureka to the Bay Area but with Bennett v. Southern
Pacific my story introduces a murder case in Concord CA.

Watch the movie but I will be posting a modified version with my story merged into this story but I am adding in the 1988 bombing of an IRS Agent and introduce on why Chief Alex
Fagan was murdered to cover-up his knowledge of events.  It was his girlfriend car that exploded in Walnut Creek just happened to work with parties very
close my family.

Twisted Tale Of Theater In Danville / Money woes, suit postpone opening

Published 4:00 am, Thursday, March 29, 2001

By John King

2001-03-29 04:00:00 PDT Danville -- By now, the Mount Diablo Center for the Arts was to be the cultural hub of Danville -- a posh oasis of theater, sophisticated and social all at once.

Instead, it's a handsome building with a hollow core. One contractor says he's owed $130,000, the land's former owner wants his day in court, and the theater inside the fieldstone-covered shell can't be finished unless donors kick in another $2.6 million.

But as landscapers put finishing touches around the office building that shares the site, and a torn canvas banner that reads "The Curtain Can't Go Up Without You" flaps in the wind, the center's creators say it's only a matter of time before everything works out.

"When it's done, it's going to be bloody gorgeous," says William McCann, the Danville attorney who came up with the idea of fusing a nonprofit theater with a for-profit development five years ago. "This is a very different project. It's unique."

The saga of the arts center is more tangled than a Victorian melodrama, with no end in sight. Already, though, it serves as a cautionary tale to other cities that dream of having their own full-scale theater -- by showing that culture and commerce don't necessarily mix.

Four years after McCann embarked on the project with partner Gordon Bingham, a former BMW dealer who lives in Alamo, what they have to show for their efforts is a striking 39,000 square foot office building linked to a 299-seat theater by a rotunda that will serve as the theater's lobby.

The link isn't just physical: the pair say they conceived of the office project as a way to help create what one fund-raising brochure promises will be "the place for performing arts and arts education for all valley residents."

"Promote the flowering of arts," McCann explains. "That's why we did it."

The theater was supposed to open last summer, but construction is at a crawl because there isn't the money to finish the theater's interior -- even though the office building is almost ready for occupancy, with a $15 million offer to purchase it on the table.

Clouding the sale is a lawsuit filed last month by the land's former owner - - Dublin developer Sid Corrie, who says that the pair used fraud to purchase the site from him at a below-market price.

The lawsuit charges that McCann persuaded Corrie to contribute a portion of the land to the Belasco Children's Theater, a small Walnut Creek company; McCann was president of the company's board. McCann and Bingham agreed to pay $1.4 million for the remainder of the property. The lawsuit charges that McCann later transferred control of the theater site from the Belasco company to McCann and Bingham at no cost.

Corrie claimed a charitable deduction for the land donation in 1997. Last year, the Internal Revenue Service last year disallowed it.

McCann's reaction to the suit?

"I would characterize the lawsuit as destructive, malicious and libelous," he says. "I hope that's direct enough."

Whatever the facts, Belasco no longer is on the list of possible tenants for the center: "The Belasco Theater Company has no relation or affiliation" with Mount Diablo Center, Belasco attorney Randy Rogers says pointedly. "It hasn't had any contact with anyone at the center in years."

Corrie's not the only one with claims against the project. Delta Steel Erectors, which built the structure, filed a complaint in December saying it is owed $130,000. McCann characterizes the action as "a blip on the screen. . .

. What's at issue are extra charges which are disputed."

Assuming that the legal troubles are settled and the sale goes through, you might think any profits would be used to finish the theater. Not so -- Bingham and McCann say the office building has contributed enough already.

"There's $4 million of infrastructure here -- parking, landscaping, the rotunda," Bingham maintains, "and the theater hasn't paid for any of it."

For the record, Bingham and McCann aren't the only ones calling the shots. They are limited partners in the company building the complex; the managing partner is Bill Tauscher, a former computer services firm owner best known as Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher's former husband.

Tauscher could not be reached yesterday, but McCann describes him in glowing terms.

"Bill Tauscher is a saint," McCann says. "The idea was to subsidize the arts. Bill Tauscher was enough of a visionary to see the potential."



Even if work on the theater slows to a halt, Bingham and McCann say the future is secure: the arts center is owned by a nonprofit foundation they created, and there's a 99-year lease at $1 a year. In the meantime, $3.4 million has been pledged to the project -- but McCann says another $2.6 million is needed to finish everything in style.

And who waits, figuratively, in the wings? Many groups besides Belasco have been mentioned as possible performers, but only one is signed on: Playhouse West, a Walnut Creek company with 900 subscribers.

As for potential donors, don't look for Danville to help close the gap. The Town Council approved the unusual project, and waived some development fees, but a request for $500,000 last summer was rebuffed.

"It's a private project," points out council member Newell Arnerich. "I'm sure they're the type of individuals who will pull this through. It may take a little longer than expected, but I look forward to attending the opening night celebration."

Count on it, Bingham promises: "Everyone says the second half of a fund- raising campaign is easier than the first. . . . We've had hundreds of donors. I believe it's the most successful fund-raising campaign in Contra Costa."

One last question for McCann. If he could turn the clock back, would he do all this again?

"Yes I would," McCann says. "When you try to give birth to beauty, there's always a concomitant crucifixion."

It the theater succeeds, that phrase should be carved in stone above the entryway. If not . . . it's a striking epitaph

Pleasant Hill: Multiple fires gut DVC police building

By ROMAN GOKHMAN | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: June 23, 2008 at 8:54 pm | UPDATED: August 15, 2016 at 6:22 pm
PLEASANT HILL — An arson likely destroyed the police services building at Diablo Valley College early Monday, investigators said.
“We had two (fires) on the outside and one on the inside in the lobby,” said Contra Costa County Fire Marshal Richard Carpenter. “Probably, the whole building will have to be replaced.”
The fire was reported at 2:25 a.m. in the 1,700-square-foot building located in the southeast corner of the campus by Parking Lot 2. The school runs along Golf Club Road.
The Contra Costa Fire Protection District responded with four engines, one truck and about 20 firefighters.
Carpenter said the fire destroyed the lobby and the rest of the building sustained heavy heat and smoke damage.
DVC spokeswoman Chrisanne Knox said police services, an actual law enforcement department that patrols several campuses within the Contra Costa Community College District, is based at Diablo Valley.
The department has about 20 sworn officers — five to six of whom work at DVC — four higher-ranking officers including a chief, about four dispatchers, two parking officers and 10 to 15 student aides.
On an interim basis, the police department will operate out of a conference room in the business and foreign language department.
“It was designed as an emergency command center and has all the (required communications equipment),” Knox said.
The college is looking at several other locations for a longer-term temporary home for the department.
She said the cost of the damages to the building has not been determined and it is not clear if it will be knocked down or restored.
“There was very little that was salvageable,” she said.
The criminal investigation is being led by the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Office, Knox said, with Pleasant Hill police and the school district police department assisting.
Carpenter said fire investigators are still trying to determine what kind of fuel was used by the arsonist.

When Congressman DeSaulnier plus others decided to boycott the inauguration his actions emboldened protesters but he also eroded his credibility with his peers on the other side of the aisle.

The Pathetic Congressman DeSaulnier, the lynching of a black man near his former bar TR’s home of the Political power lunch crowd.

Dear Constituents and Readers

I have colorful but a tragic history connected to Congressman Mark DeSaulnier.  I was was once a heavy drinker in his bar.  We met in 1981 when m crew was building Hobies Roadhouse Bar and Restaurant when the City of Concord was a different place. 

There was a rough and tumble crowd near downtown off Sixth Street, there was urban sprawl extending to Clayton, but two blocks south a black man was lynched which is one of the original staged suicides,

Concord has many chapters of cover-ups and viscous political plays.   My personal connection is losing millions when my witness was murdered 1989.  The big problem was no one from the District Attorneys office asked my attorneys if his testimony was important. 

Public Meetings and Police
IN the coming days I am filing a claim with Diablo Valley College over the Affordable Care Act (ACA) meeting held on the DVC Campus.  Arriving early left a wide open clear space where the first row was empty.
Within minutes the College Police were called then later I was escorted out during a conversation with the President of DVC where we were discussing the murder of John T. Nejedly.
I know that Former Concord Officer Foley time as Concord Officer overlaps Congressman DeSaulnier business and political career that he and Foley would have met.
Too bad for the FBI I know enough about the CNET Scandal to know that anyone serving in SWAT would know Commander Norman Wielsch now inmate Wielsch sitting in Federal Prison.


In 1986 a black man found himself on he last train leading to the last stop leading to the Concord BART.   He called family for a ride but the next morning he was found hanging from a tree between TR’s Bar and Grill and the Concord BART. 

In 2003, less than 500 feet from the 1986 lynching Kevin Flanagan took his life in the B of A parking garage on the last day of job after being outsource.   There I am in 2003 holding a protest about American Jobs where I felt like the Baton Death March of WWII.  For us it was a war for B of A and IBM you got a bonus.

Congressman Mark DeSaulnier

Congressman DeSaulnier history is extremely important to Congressional Comittees like Transportation.house.gov or to US Attorney Jeff Sessions who already knows about the tight lipped murder near former US Attorney John Ashcroft linked to Ashcroft In-laws Attorney James Greenan hired by Contra Costa County to sue Chevron in a tax case. 

These slides will help you understand the possibility that Contra Costa County barely infamous lynching occurred two blocks from the power center bar once owned by Mark. 

When I was trapped in drugs everyone knew that TR’s had the best blow in town including no risk of arrest.  That was the 1980's where the Venture Intrepid landed Pittsburg CA which is Albert a D Seeno Country and his firm the target of a large FBI Raid in 2010.   DEA / DOJ Employee Bud Heng lived in Walnut Creek who recent passing allowed me to connect a local face to an international case in international waters with Russian connection to drug running ocean going barges.

The drug business sees no borders just customers, bankers and money. 

Mark and I have several truly unusual overlays of even more unusual deaths. 

By the Way: this story also about a murder near the US Department of Justice, President Bush who as Lt. Bush was a drunk in bar in Ft. Meyers Beach when these DC-3s ran out of fuel while the Medellin Cartel was doing two things - using pilots to fly to Mena and laundering money through Wall Street Banks - that's why USOS Ellen O. Tauscher was so successful as money laundering makes you very smart, buys privileges over at the NYSE.

Once I learned about the Mena Airport Stories it made perfect sense that the Clinton's were key parties in drug running.

Down in Cape Coral several of my friends are dead plus a couple of other hate crimes where five migrant workers were burned alive in trailer arson - more later.

City Manager Ken Nordoff

The City of Walnut Creek has far too many suicides, dubious jumpers, and has a history of covering up investigations. 
The City Manager resigned effective Dec. 31, 2016 but my first successful use of the Brown Act occurred on Nov 2nd, 2011. 
Not knowing the specifics of the Brown Act uses and timing relevant to the Agenda Items.  I stood up. 
Later I learned one of my oldest customers Bill Hoot was ranting at the correct time.  We basically said the same thing to the Council. 
We’ve been robbed, our cases are stalled and the Walnut Creek Police were corrupt. 

Pete Bennett was holding a protest at the B of A tech Center in 2003, a year later just about every employee at the Town of Danville witnessed Bennett’s truck explode.  I know I have witnesses and those employed in Danville could end up dead like my other witness. 

The prior day I’d met with City Manager Ken Nordoff and then Chief Joel Bryden.   There was late June conversation with Bryden about the recent Federal Indictments of officers connected to the Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Taskforce linked to an attack by Gary Vinson Collins who was a building inspector who nearly beat me to death in my house.  
The Bennett/Bryden/Nordoff meeting was about Bennett v.  Collins (2004) with then Chief Chris Wenzel.

H-1B lottery’s game of chance is legal, judge rules

The government will be able to distribute H-1B visas via lottery in April as usual 

By Patrick Thibodeau

The judge's ruling means that there will no changes to the H-1B distribution system this year.


On April 1, the U.S. will receive visa petitions, or applications, for the 2018 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. The U.S. holds a lottery if the petitions exceed the 85,000 cap -- an almost certain outcome.


The U.S. last year received 236,000 H-1B petitions, reducing the odds of approval to about one-in-three.


The case was brought by two Portland, Ore. firms, Tenrec Inc., a web development company, and Walker Macy, a landscape architecture firm. Each sought to hire an H-1B visa worker, but lost the lottery. The lawsuit argued that the law requires visa petitions to be processed "in the order" they are filed and not randomly.


Employers submit H-1B petitions and if they lose the annual lottery the only other option is to try again the following year.


The lawsuit charged that the lottery was being gamed at the expense of smaller employers.



The government "left open the door to large companies with multiple business units or subsidiaries to file more than one petition for the same employee in the lottery, and thus receive twice or more the chance of securing a number in the random lottery than a small company," said the plaintiffs in a summary judgment motion.


Following the ruling, plaintiff lead attorney Brent Renison, at Parrilli Renison in Portland, Ore., said: "The court did not say the lottery was the best way to distribute visas, only a permissible way. While we disagree with the court's ultimate ruling which defers to the agency, we note that Congress can change the system for the better."


Simon appeared to consider the merits of a filing date system for H-1B petitions, but said such a system could could be random as well.


"For example, the Fedex driver may have had a flat tire or took a long lunch, resulting in the UPS truck delivering its petitions before Fedex," the judge wrote. "The U.S. Mail delivery may always be delivered in the afternoon for a particular location on the mail route, making its delivery last. Is it fair to process the UPS petitions first, simply because they 'arrived' at the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service) office first?"


It is possible that President Donald Trump may attempt to make a last-minute change to the system. Some have been urging him to replace it with one that favors smaller H-1B users over large IT outsourcing firms.

A lawsuit that challenged the fairness and legality of the H-1B lottery system, describing it as a "never ending game of chance," has been thrown out by a federal judge.  The case was heard by U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon in Oregon; in a 31-page opinion, Simon said that the government's random visa distribution method does not violate the law.
