The Accenture Connection to Defense Logistics Agency - One data breach too many

Dear Accenture Media,

A few months ago I reached out to Accenture about events around me.  Accenture Asset Protection contacted, we spoke and they're looking into it.

Like everyone they've gone "dark" but my reason for making contact on my posting.  There is a long story unfolding filled with FBI, DOD, NSA, and CIA but at the top of the list is NYPD.

The events around me have become quite personal.  Someone murdered my family, girlfriend, her daughter, my roommate, my friends are turning up dead around the country, and my elected officials will not assist in anyway.  I live in Walnut Creek CA, I sleep outside, I've lost everything I own, my assets have been stolen with help of Rouge Police Officers now in Federal Prison.

One core event is about my F-250 exploding into a fireball not unlike the PG&E Explosion on Sept. 9th, 2010, or the FedEx / School Bus in Orland where ten students were killed in April 2014 but the reality of events there are many more.

The long drawn out process where your powerful agenda leads to the murders of my relatives in connection to EB-5 Visa, H-1b, L-1 and outsourcing.

Welfare caseworkers have a tough job. The programs they administer are varied and complex, involving vast amounts of information. Rules for eligibility change from year to year. Any kind of error—from misunderstanding a requirement to making a simple typo—can increase costs for the agency, require more time from caseworkers and delay benefits for customers.

Those customers also have a tough job. To get enrolled in a program, they might need to make repeated trips to the welfare office, answer questions, fill out forms, present documents and then redo parts of the process one or more times when information goes astray. If they’re applying to more than one program, they may have to go through the whole cycle again. And the agency may also be required to duplicate its efforts for processing applications for the various programs.

In 39 California counties, though, getting customers the right benefits is a much simpler process than it used to be. As members of a group called Consortium IV (C-IV), human services departments in those counties enjoy the use of a fully integrated welfare management system. The C-IV solution streamlines and automates many aspects of a caseworker’s job—and also makes life easier for beneficiaries.

OPPORTUNITY

The history of C-IV goes back to 1995, when the California legislature asked county welfare departments to form consortia to design new welfare management systems. Each system would automate the administration of 11 social service programs, such as:
California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs—California’s version of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or TANF program).
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); Medi-Ca (California’s version of Medicaid).
Foster Care.
The Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants.
Emergency assistance.

One of many beatings Bennett has endured via City of Walnut Creek and Contra Costa DA Peterson

San Bernardino County, for instance, relied at the time on an old mainframe system to manage its welfare department. Caseworkers used printing calculators to compute eligibility and then copied the figures onto large paper forms, along with other information. 

“Then the form would go to data entry, where they would key the information in,” said June Hutchison, the C-IV regional project manager who represents San Bernardino County. “If it all went in fine, a couple of days later you’d get a printout back, and then the case was in the system.”

But if the form contained a mistake, the auditing department would send it back to the caseworker for correction. Auditors returned the form again and again as they found more errors, said Donna Gonzales, acting eligibility worker supervisor with the Ontario Transitional Assistance Department in San Bernardino County. “The customer might be waiting two or three weeks to get benefits,” she said.

County welfare departments used multiple software solutions to manage caseloads, calculate benefits, file reports to the state and handle other aspects of their work. Caseworkers who entered data into one system had to provide much of the same information to other systems as well, increasing the chance of data entry errors. Workers also spent hours hunting down the details of different programs in large paper binders.

SOLUTION

With help from Accenture, the welfare departments streamlined their business practices, reducing 205 processes to 58 and creating common procedures for the four counties. Then, based on these improvements, they developed an integrated, Web-based solution to manage all of their functions, with a single database to house information for all four welfare departments.

“You collect the data one time, it’s housed one time, it’s maintained one time and it’s used to calculate across multiple programs,” said John Boule, the consortium’s C-IV project director. That makes it easier for caseworkers to manage customers’ data and easier for customers to get assistance.

The new system greatly decreased the time and effort required to process an application for benefits, said Donna Gonzales, acting eligibility worker supervisor with the Ontario Transitional Assistance Department in San Bernardino County. “As long as you have the information correctly input into the system, you can issue the benefits instantaneously.”

Walnut Creek: City manager gets raise, with one councilmember saying he should resign instead

Walnut Creek: City manager gets raise, with one councilmember saying he should resign instead

By Elisabeth Nardi enardi@bayareanewsgroup.com

POSTED:   12/17/2014 10:52:19 AM PST3 COMMENTS

UPDATED:   12/17/2014 12:20:36 PM PST

WALNUT CREEK -- While the majority of the council Tuesday described City Manager Ken Nordhoff as an excellent leader, praising his management style and saying he deserves a raise, one council member said the city's top chief should resign and has broken the public's trust.

In a blunt and a searing rebuke of Nordhoff, City Councilman Justin Wedel launched into a verbal attack. he said that, based on the city manager's handling of a scandal involving a city employee and abuse at the Lesher Center in 2012, he has proved to be untrustworthy.

"To be clear, the city manager lied directly, or though admission, to me, other council members, to the council as a whole, and to the community, breaking the city's long-standing trust with the community," Wedel said.

This is all fallout from the handling of Lesher Center employee Jason Pedroza, fired in 2012 for inappropriate behavior with teenage girls. This eventually led to internal and criminal investigations into fellow employees' possible failure to report child sex abuse to Walnut Creek police. Last year, Pedroza pleaded guilty in Contra Costa Superior Court to child sexual abuse charges.

While all city employees were cleared of any wrongdoing, and four placed on paid leave by Nordhoff were later brought back, an independent investigation report revealed Nordhoff and others knew of accusations against Pedroza earlier than council members originally thought. Some of the affected employees have since resigned.

"While you may disagree completely with many, if not all of my statements, there is no denying the fact that you have outright failed, by your own admission, in the moral and ethical foundation necessary for your position," he said.While many in the city have worked to move on, Wedel brought all of this up again Tuesday as the council decided whether or not to give Nordhoff a 2.5 percent raise, making his yearly salary $225,030. In the end, the council voted 4-1 to give him the raise -- but not before Wedel implored Nordhoff to resign.

For his part, Nordhoff sat silently. But other council members shook their heads during many of Wedel's comments and blasted his remarks as untrue.

Councilwoman Cindy Silva, on the council when Nordhoff was hired, said he has exceeded expectations. She called him ethical, open and honest, but said she made her decision to give him a raise because of all he has done for this city and what the community's achievements have been under his tenure. She cited everything from improved fiscal strategies to economic development to a fully staffed police force.

"All of this couldn't have been done and achieved without your leadership," Silva said. "We hear repeatedly from your city staff ... that you are the city manager that they want to work for."

Wedel alleged that he and former Mayor Kristina Lawson have tried to prevent "the spectacle that will be occurring here tonight" for months. The decision on Nordhoff's contract occurred at the first meeting after the departure of Lawson, Wedel noted, "removing an additional voice of dissension against the city manager."

Lawson had been vocal in the past, criticizing Nordhoff's handling of the Lesher Center crisis.

New Councilman Rich Carlston said he couldn't comment on Wedel's views on the "Pedroza matter" because he was out of town on a religious mission when that occurred. He pointed out that there are now proper mandated reporting policies in place in Walnut Creek. And from his interactions with Nordhoff he finds his leadership to be inclusive and his service warrants a pay increase. Carlston also noted that the executive staff has received a 5 percent salary increase over the last few years, while Nordhoff has received none.

Wedel later shot back that even though Carlston may not have been in town during the Pedroza investigation, an independent report specifically said Nordhoff was evasive.

"We need to be setting the ethical standard that you are to tell the truth, you are to be forthright and honest and most importantly that you need to follow through with the most important assets of our community, our children," Wedel said.

Mayor Bob Simmons said he flatly disagreed with Wedel's characterization of events as well as his description of Nordhoff's actions.

In the past, Nordhoff has said he never intentionally lied or misled anyone in regards to the Pedroza investigation. Nordhoff's new contract and raise begin Jan. 1.

Arson or Fire in 1998

Walnut Creek -- Fire officials suspect arson in the four-alarm blaze that sent smoke and flames billowing from an office complex near Highway 24 last night.
Workers in the seven-building complex were led out quickly as the fire engulfed a three-story building on Camino Diablo and spread to two other buildings, said Battalion Chief Clark Walker of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. No injuries were reported.
Walker said arson investigators are suspicious because the fire spread so rapidly. The building at 2950 Camino Diablo was most damaged, but the blaze also damaged buildings at 2960 and 2940 Camino Diablo. 
The fire was reported at 5:30 p.m. and was controlled in about two hours, with 60 firefighters at the scene. Some firefighters planned to stay all night putting out hot spots.
"It was a very difficult fire to put out because the buildings are so close," Walker said.
The blaze started on the upper floors of the complex, which hold offices for lawyers, dentists, travel agents, therapists and other businesses.
The damage to the buildings is estimated to be more than half a million dollars.
Although the fire sent a haze of smoke over the nearby Interstate 680-Highway 4 interchange during commute hours, traffic was not affected, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Dear Respective Chief Operating Officers,

I am writing to inform you that numerous law enforcement agencies have defrauded your respective hospitals by distorting public law by constructing deceptive police reports.  The argument I'm presenting involves activities of police agencies directly affecting mandatory care provisions.

The events connected to incidents involve medical staff, murders of former resident physician of the John Muir, Murders near Family, witnesses to civil and criminal cases.

Surviving attacks by police officers, persons near cases, witnesses and victims alike whose civil rights have been repeatedly violated, where victims of accidents are routinely assigned near total blame as pedestrians that  veiled, active or discrete the net sum of events has created impossible adverse scenario

Witness and victim intimidation as business model.  Below are profiles of three separate victims that either alive, suffered permanent long term costs, or deceased but each fall

Failure to deliver adequate care to one resident long term effects has affected his life expectancy, issued a police report with subjective conclusion prevents the victims from realizing recovery in the court room, where the jury would be tainted with arguments that the victim deserved the accident which is akin to be a participant of conspiracy to murder.

The expanding cities, boundaries and property create a property superior race over property-less inferior rights.  The one without legal standing no matter where they stand, sit or lie

Emmon Bodfish - A real transgender murder

Here's this week's article from the Bay Area Reporter.  Thanks to Ed Walsh for
the professional but sensitive reporting he is doing on the case!  (I wonder if
the friends had met the son and have any opinion on his possible involvement.)

Hermit

                       Bodfish likely struggled with killer, report says

                                           by Ed Walsh

         Transgendered murder victim Emmon Bodfish was known for doing
everything he could to be unknown and there was perhaps no greater symbol of
his reclusivity than his home on his seven acre estate in Orinda. Meanwhile,
Bodfish's coroner's report indicates he may have struggled with his killer.

         Last Thursday, August 19, this reporter was allowed to accompany three
of Bodfish's close friends along with his lawyer and executor Garrett Riegg, as
they returned to that home along Miner Road, an area known for some of the
highest priced real estate in the East Bay. The Bodfish home is just a
25-minute drive from San Francisco but the property is so wooded and isolated,
one could easily get the feeling that they are hundreds of miles away from
anything resembling a major city.

         Although Riegg estimates the property to be worth about $2 million,
the house itself is extremely modest and looks more like a cabin in the middle
of the Sierra than a home in an exclusive Bay Area bedroom community. It's just
two bedrooms, one bath, with a smaller cabin on a hill overlooking the home.
The house has a very rustic feel and Bodfish's friends say that was in keeping
with his nature-based Druid faith.

         One of Bodfish's close friends who knew him for more than two decades,
before Margaret became Emmon, said she appreciated the Bay Area Reporter's
sensitivity in its coverage of the case but didn't want to be quoted on the
record. She said she felt very conflicted about discussing her friend's life
because privacy was extremely important to him. When asked if Bodfish would
have preferred to be known as a man or woman, she said Bodfish presented
himself to most of the world as a man but his female identity was something he
chose to keep.

         Another friend, Stacey Weinberger, who has spoken with the B.A.R.
before, said she also felt conflicted about speaking to the media but thought
it was important for people to know that Bodfish wasn't a freak, but a very
good, honest, and caring person.

         A third friend, Doug Handler, also spoke with great affection about
Emmon Bodfish. The friends were allowed to claim a few sentimental items that
had special meaning for them. Handler, who also knew Bodfish before Bodfish
began living as a man, took a tiny photo of Margaret Bodfish as a child. He was
also allowed to keep a plumbing book with a photo of an adult Margaret Bodfish
demonstrating a plumbing job. Before Bodfish worked as an investment advisor,
he ran his own pool maintenance and plumbing business. An old and partially
burned blue truck bearing his company name, "The Blue Lagoon," continues to
stand watch in front of his home.

         Skull, facial bone fractures

         Bodfish died in the solitude of that home that he cherished so much
during his life. Now, almost two months after his bludgeoning death, much of
his home still remains how he left it but much has changed. Bodfish's body was
found on the floor in the living room next to a bookcase. Now, many of the
books that became bloodstained are packed away in plastic bags. A square patch
of carpet is cut away from the Oriental rug where his head lay.

         The B.A.R. obtained a copy of Bodfish's coroner's report which appears
to indicate a struggle he had with his attacker. The official cause of death is
listed as "blunt-force head injuries." The report details fractures to his
skull and facial bones and cuts to the forehead and upper lip. Bruises were
found on his chin, legs, shoulder, and back. "A decorative screen with a glass
front was standing to the right of the body," the report details. "The glass
was broken and there was evidence of blood splatter on this item. The head was
laying near one wall which was totally made up of book shelves."

         The highest bloodstain on the book shelves observed by this reporter
was only about three feet off the floor. The bloodstained books that were
removed came from the lower shelves of the book case. The blood splatter
evidence seems to indicate that Bodfish was struck once or several times while
he was already down and lying next to the bookshelf. Forensic experts say that
the first blow to the head is unlikely to cause blood to splatter. Bodfish may
have been taken down by the first or second hit and then beaten to death while
he was lying helplessly on the floor.

         The report goes into graphic detail over the extent of decomposition
of the body with the opinion being that "the decedent had been dead for several
days." Bodfish's body was found by his ex-mother-in-law, Edith Willes, on June
30 at about 9 a.m. At about 6 p.m. that same day in a phone conversation,
Willes told her grandson, Max Wills, that his mother was dead. Hours later,
Wills checked into a Santa Monica hotel room where he killed himself.

         Orinda police say they don't consider Wills a suspect in Bodfish's
death nor can they rule him out.  Wills had been vacationing in Southern
California when Bodfish was killed but investigators say they can't account for
all his time there. Orinda police Sergeant Mark Hale who told the B.A.R. last
week that investigators are waiting for some potentially important new
information said this week that are still waiting for that information. Hale
wouldn't elaborate on the nature of the information they were expecting.

         Bodfish's coroner's report unveils some striking similarities between
his murder and the last homicide in Orinda almost two years ago. That was the
case in which XY magazine cover boy Josh Puckett confessed to killing Vitaly
Poliakov but said he acted in self-defense to fend off a sexual assault. The
cause of death in both the Bodfish and Poliakov murder cases was ruled as blunt
force head injuries. In both cases, the victims appeared to suffer the most
severe hit on the right side of the head. In addition, investigators say blood
splatter evidence had indicated that Poliakov, like Bodfish, likely suffered
the fatal hit while he was already down. Puckett plead guilty to involuntary
manslaughter and burglary last year and was sentenced to 13 years, eight months
in state prison.

Emmon Bodfish - The Druid Murders of Orinda and the Land Grab

Emmon Bodfish (1943 – 1999) druid, plumber, investment advisorOriginally from Ohio, Emmon Bodfish was active in the Reformed Druids of North America. He produced the Druid Missal-Any Magazine 1983-1991, some of which was reprinted in A Reformed Druid Anthology, 2nd Edition, Volume 3: The Magazine Volume. At this time he corresponded with trans woman Tadhg MacCrossan, in the period before she wrote The Sacred Cauldron. His wisdom is still quoted on Druid sites.

As his prior identity, Margaret, Bodfish ran a pool maintenance and plumbing business, The Blue Lagoon. Later he worked as an investment advisor. He owned a simple home in the affluent Orinda area outside San Francisco. He also owned a town-house in Marin County. In the late nineties he was apparently isolated and depressed, and occasionally reverted to being a woman.

In June 1999 Emmon was found bludgeoned to death. The next day his son Max Wills was found, an apparent suicide in a Santa Monica hotel room. Max was known to have suffered from long term depression but was reluctant to kill himself while his mother was alive.

Later the police discovered a floor safe containing $60,000 in gold and coins. A drill had been found at the same spot but there was no sign that it was used to pry out the safe. In addition a police investigator apparently contracted Q fever in the Bodfish home.

The murder remains unsolved.  Different possibilities have been suggested including transphobia, family involvement, a fustrated robbery and even, based on an entry in his diary, that Emmon contracted his own death.

WALNUT CREEK -- A 44-year-old woman died Saturday morning in a vehicle crash in unincorporated Contra Costa County, a California Highway Patrol officer said.

The accident occurred about 6:30 a.m. when the Walnut Creek woman was driving a 2011 Nissan Versa eastbound on Treat Boulevard, west of Walnut Creek, Officer J. Johnson said.

  

For an unknown reason, she veered off the roadway and crashed into a light pole on the southeast corner of Treat Boulevard, near Cherry Lane, Johnson said.

The woman, who has not been named, was taken by ambulance to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, where she was pronounced dead, he said.

The accident is under investigation, authorities said.

Police said they do not know the speed at which she was driving or if alcohol or drugs played a role.
