… for over 20 years to defraud MR WECs of the subdivision (the designated “deep pocket” for LAFCO Annexation Developments outside water license permitted PLACE OF USE!)

THE QUESTION: WHY DID LAFCO APPROVE LDPCSD’s EXPANDED SERVICE BOUNDARY? (below)

THE DECEPTION NEVER ENDS!

YUP! MR WECs (Merced River Water Entitled Customers) of the Lake Don Pedro residential subdivision have been forced to pay for subsidized LAFCO ANNEXATION DEVELOPMENT for over 40 years – thanks to MR WECs “deep pocket” designation as MANDATORY CUSTOMERS OF THE LDPCSD.

(Cute huh? LAFCO sets up a FRAUD OF A CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT to exploit WATER LICENSE 11395 that legally served the residential subdivision – so as to ultimately provide a SPECIAL BENEFIT GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION WATER SERVICE (OUTSIDE THE LICENSE PERMITTED SUBDIVISION) FOR THOUSANDS OF ACRES IN ANNEXATIONS LAFCO MADE INTO THEIR OWN CREATED LDPCSD!

MONEY?

and

WATER LAUNDERING?

https://lakedonpedro.org/?s=slumbering+subdivision

EXCLUDED FROM MEETING (Already knew I would object to approval just as I have since!

This was the meeting I (as a duly elected sitting director on the Lake Don Pedro CSD Board) was PROHIBITED FROM ATTENDING! Gee, how disheartening these “planning professionals” were unconcerned with the fact I had researched and studied those LAFCO ANNEXATIONS into the LDPCSD more extensively than any other LDPCSD representative there that day. (But of course one director permitted to attend had been using expensive groundwater substitution for his cattle ranching business since the first RANCHITO GROUNDWATER WELL WAS FORCED DEVELOPED IN THE EARLY 1990’s AS A RESULT OF A STATE WATER AUDIT OF THE MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT WHICH HOLDS WATER LICENSE 11395! Hum, conflict of interest perhaps? lol)

CRIMINAL CONSPIRATORS PERMITTED?

Yet, how could Emery Ross, a long time sitting director whose business was actually started with a stolen water meter from another rancher; who is rarely prepared for monthly district board meetings through SELF STUDY of the prepared agenda packet (evidenced by the many years of documented questions he has asked whose answers were clearly contained in the packet*, a director who has on numerous occasions intentionally obstructed intended district progress in many important matters (often accompanied with his FAKE COWBOY ANTICS), https://youtu.be/rKSunIuNTIo, and with such clear conflicting and contradictory interests never-the-less be permitted to attend and be involved with that EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS LAFCO DECISION apparently not based on actual fact?

Why are legitimate requests for PUBLIC INFORMATION regarding such past LAFCO AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT annexations refused?

Why is there a gigantic gap in the time line index for records (which are no longer available) on the county website concerning LAFCO ANNEXATIONS INTO AN EXISTING DISTRICT?

Questions only pile on top of more questions.

Serious, very important questions have languished for answers for decades while customers are told they must pay more for “THEIR WATER SERVICE”? OR THE SPECIAL BENEFIT WATER SERVICE FOR OTHERS NOT ENTITLED?

My best to you and yours, Lew

*Apparently, the Lake Don Pedro Community Services District suffers from a ridiculous “all inclusive policy” – which permits ANYONE – regardless if qualified or not, to hold positions that ultimately determine how the rest of us will live in OUR OWN COUNTRY!

You can see this sort of insanity everywhere now….. all these crooks do is just “tweak” the qualifications for ANY POSITION and such ridiculous outcomes – that defy fucking common sense – routinely occur. Like men competing against women in physically demanding sports? Or Communists and Socialists etc. serving in US Government regulatory or defense positions?

Emery Ross is a long time OUTSIDE PLACE OF USE SPECIAL INTEREST COMMERCIAL CATTLE RANCHER WHO HAS BEEN AT THE CENTER OF THIS COMMUNITY WATER NIGHTMARE SINCE HOOKING UP WITH PETE KAMPA BACK IN THE MID 1990s.

HE HAS REMAINED ON THE LAKE DON PEDRO COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS DESPITE THE FACT HE CANNOT READ OR COMPREHEND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN MONTHLY AGENDA PACKETS (or other related materials) WITHOUT ASSISTANCE.

THIS IS THE REASON EMERY IS OFTEN DUMBFOUNDED AT MEETINGS AND ASKS NEEDLESS QUESTIONS (or makes strange and peculiar comments) WHOSE ANSWERS (or discussed information) WERE CLEARLY ALREADY CONTAINED IN THE PACKET MATERIAL.

NO ONE WANTS TO POINT OUT THE DANGERS IN HAVING AN INCOMPETENT DIRECTOR ON A BOARD WHO MENTALLY CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL UPON WHICH HIS DECISIONS ARE BASED.

NO ONE WANTS TO APPEAR MEAN SPIRITED, but considering the current state of our America and the fact it is being led by a career crime family demented sell out politician who has already caused untold death, injury, suffering and destruction to so many …. IN MY COUNTRY?…….

I PERSONALLY DON’T GIVE A FUCK WHAT THE LEFT THINKS!

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE!

Further expansion of a subsidized groundwater special benefit water service for LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES OUTSIDE THE WATER LICENSE PLACE OF USE FOR WHICH THE LDPCSD HAS NO LEGAL DUTY OR MORAL OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE SQUAT …….

DURING ANOTHER EMERGENCY DROUGHT?

Yup, long overdue to point out the absurdity of permitting unqualified and corrupted individuals to FAKE SERVICE IN GOVERNMENT POSITIONS THAT NEGATIVELY AFFECTS ALL CITIZENS –

whether on a local agency water board

or

acting president of the United States of America!

(Don’t let that reading time estimate frighten you as it refers to the entire chronological “page” of whatever posted, not these individual updates, but of course if there is a video ???? lol Heck that reading time advisement almost scared me off from a proof read! lol Still learning new version.)

BOO!

THURSDAY OCTOBER 31ST, 2019 (HALLOWEEN)

HERE IS THE OCTOBER 21ST, 2019 LDPCSD MONTHLY BOARD MEETING AUDIO RECORDING. SURE IS A SHAME THAT OUR NEW GENERAL MANAGER/BOARD TREASURER, PATRICK McGOWAN,

[WHO BY ALL APPEARANCES CERTAINLY SEEMS TO BE DOING A GREAT JOB CLEANING UP THE HORRIBLE MESS LEFT BY PETER KAMPA — COMPLIMENTS OF HIS DO NOTHING “BOBBLE HEADED YES NODDING BOARD OF DEFECTORS” WHO COULD NOT EVEN ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION AS TO THE LEGALITY OF THEIR PUSH TO EXPAND A SUBSIDIZED GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION SPECIAL BENEFIT WATER SERVICE FOR LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES KAMPA WRONGFULLY SET UP 20 YEARS AGO WITH PUBLIC GRANT FUNDS OBTAINED FROM THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INTENDED FOR EMERGENCY DROUGHT RELIEF OF LEGAL CUSTOMERS AND NOT EXPANDING SPECIAL BENEFIT SUBSIDIZED NEW WATER SERVICES]

IS NOW BEING “SETUP” AS THE ANSWER PERSON FOR ALL THE NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE AT THE LDPCSD WITH WHICH HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO INVOLVEMENT!

SYNDIE MARCHSIELLO HAS BEEN THE OFFICE MANAGER AND BOARD SECRETARY FOR MANY YEARS NOW AND HAS BEEN PRIVY TO ALL OFFICIAL PAPERWORK CONCERNING OUR LAKE DON PEDRO CSD. THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FACT REGARDING THE TRADITIONAL PROCESSING OF ANNEXATION PAPERWORK THROUGH MARIPOSA AND TUOLUMNE COUNTY LAFCOS TO ADD OUTSIDE MIDPOU PROPERTIES INTO OUR DISTRICT SERVICE BOUNDARIES.

UNFORTUNATELY, MY PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST SUBMITTED BACK IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR FOR THE MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT (MID) “SHAPE FILE MAPS” WHICH PETE KAMPA STATED HAD BEEN PROVIDED BY THE MID ENGINEERS AS EVIDENCE OF THE OFFICIAL PLACE OF USE (POU) CHANGE FOR MERCED RIVER WATER PER WATER LICENSE 11395 (HELD BY THE MID INCIDENTALLY), HAS NEVER BEEN PROVIDED.

TWICE I HAVE PAID MONEY FOR INCOMPLETE RESPONSES MISSING ONLY THIS MOST IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL PIECE OF INFORMATION CONCERNING KAMPA’S GROUNDWATER SCAM REQUIRING AN ILLEGAL CHANGE IN THE LEGITIMATE POU OF WL11395.

THIS IS PUBLIC INFORMATION THAT WAS APPARENTLY (AND INTENTIONALLY) WRONGFULLY USED BY OUR FORMER GM/TREASURER PETER KAMPA TO COMPLETELY MISREPRESENT THE LEGAL POU BOUNDARY IN FAVOR OF ONE WHICH SUPPORTED HIS PROPOSED EXPANSION OF GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION TO MANY MORE LAFCO ANNEXATIONS INTO THE DISTRICT WHICH THEMSELVES, VIOLATE THE VERY LAFCO RULES SET UP TO PREVENT SUCH MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS AND RESOURCES INTENDED FOR OUR SPECIAL DISTRICT.

YES, THE LDPCSD IS A SPECIAL DISTRICT THAT HAS BEEN CORRUPTED AND MANIPULATED FOR DECADES THANKS TO THE DUPLICITOUS EFFORTS OF A CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT ASSOCIATION (CSDA) 20 YEAR BOARD MEMBER NAMED PETE KAMPA. OBVIOUSLY, SUCH CORRUPTION COULD NOT TAKE PLACE WITHOUT CONTINUED SUPPORT FROM LOCAL INDIVIDUALS IN BOTH THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR.

SO, WHY IS A GENERAL MANAGER WHO IS APPARENTLY DOING EXACTLY WHAT HAS NEEDED TO BE DONE HERE IN LAKE DON PEDRO FOR DECADES (AKA, HONESTLY TAKING CARE OF OUR DISTRICT, INFRASTRUCTURE, EQUIPMENT, ETC.) WRONGFULLY BEING SADDLED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ANSWERING FOR BLATANT DISTRICT CORRUPTION AND “LEGAL CUSTOMER” BETRAYAL (aka THE MR WECS – MERCED RIVER WATER ENTITLED CUSTOMERS OF THE LDP SUBDIVISION) WHICH OCCURRED LONG BEFORE HE WAS APPOINTED GM?

WHY IS THIS GM WHO HAS ALREADY MADE NUMEROUS IMPROVEMENTS, REPAIRS AND PLANNED REPLACEMENT OF CRITICAL EQUIPMENT BEING SABOTAGED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE EMPLOYEE ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH DISTRICT PAPERWORK AND OFFICIAL RECORDS?

MOST WOULD RECOGNIZE THIS BUSINESS SCAM AS

“PASSING THE BUCK”!

OUR OFFICE MANAGER/BOARD SECRETARY RECEIVES VALUABLE COMPENSATION FOR HER LDPCSD EMPLOYMENT ALONG WITH MUCH EXPERT TRAINING BY ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE CSDA (WHERE KAMPA HAS BEEN A BOARD DIRECTOR FOR 20 YEARS – IS THIS A CLUE AS TO THE CSDA’S ACTUAL MISSION?), YET EVEN WITH THE EXCEPTIONAL PAY SCALE FOR THIS AREA AND SPECIALIZED TRAINING (SUPPOSEDLY FOR EFFICIENCY), SHE APPARENTLY REFUSES, OR IS INCAPABLE FOR SOME REASON, TO PROVIDE PUBLIC INFORMATION WHICH EVERY CUSTOMER HAS A RIGHT TO REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND. WHY?

RECENTLY THE OFFICE MANAGER/BOARD SECRETARY RESPONDED TO ANOTHER FOLLOWUP REPEATED REQUEST FOR THE SAME “MID SHAPE FILE MAPS” BUT THIS TIME SYNDIE INSTRUCTED ME TO NOW CONTACT OUR NEW GM FOR THE INFORMATION! ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT MY FRIENDS.

EXCUSE ME, BUT FOR WHAT IS OUR OFFICE MANAGER/BOARD SECRETARY ALREADY BEING PAID AND TRAINED TO DO? WORK FOR THE DISTRICT AND ITS LEGAL CUSTOMERS? OR WORK FOR THE CSDA IN CONCEALING THE CORRUPTION THEIR 20 YEAR BOARD DIRECTOR HAS PERPETRATED HERE IN LAKE DON PEDRO FOR DECADES? CAN YOU IMAGINE THE WASTED PUBLIC FUNDS ALL THESE YEARS? THE ADDED COSTS TO YOUR WATER BILL? AND NOW THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO PROPOSE A RATE AND FEE INCREASES WHILE STILL NOT PERFORMING DUTIES AS REQUIRED BY LAW, MUCH LESS ADMITTING TO THEIR OUTRAGEOUS FAILURES TO SIMPLY FOLLOW CLEAR WATER USE RESTRICTIONS IN THE WATER LICENSE FOR DECADES?

SYNDIE MARCHESIELLO IS IN CHARGE OF DISTRICT RECORDS AND IS INTIMATELY INVOLVED WITH THE PAPERWORK PROCESS OF OUR DISTRICT OPERATION – WHY IS OUR NEW GM (WHO HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH ON HIS PLATE ALREADY WITH THE YEARS OF DISTRICT NEGLECT HAVING ALREADY TAKEN PLACE) BEING REQUIRED TO ANSWER FOR THE CORRUPTION AND NEGLIGENCE OF OTHERS?

I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST ONE MORE VARIABLE AS TO WHY THIS DISTRICT CANNOT HOLD ON TO GOOD RELIABLE EMPLOYEES FOR VERY LONG…..THEY SIMPLY GET BURNED OUT WITH ALL THE NEEDLESS CORRECTIVE WORK WHICH OTHER EMPLOYEES REFUSE TO PERFORM FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER AND SIMPLY PASS ON TO THE “NEW VICTIM GM”!

WE NEED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ABSOLUTE FAILURE BEFORE WE END UP ADVERTISING FOR YET ANOTHER GM WHO WILL ONLY EXPERIENCE THE SAME CORRUPTION AND REFUSAL TO PERFORM DUTIES BY OTHER EMPLOYEES – FOR WHAT EVER REASON.

IF THE LDPCSD OFFICE DOES NOT HAVE THESE RECORDS THE OFFICE MANAGER SHOULD STATE SO IN A RESPONSE TO THE REQUEST RATHER THAN WASTE EVERYONE’S TIME. AHHHHH, THAT IS CERTAINLY PART OF THE PLAN….BURN OUT THE REQUESTING PARTY AT THE SAME TIME WHILE THE TRUE CULPRITS GET AWAY WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY!

BUT I WONDER, WHY WOULD A LOCAL PUBLIC AGENCY NOT POSSESS THE VERY MATERIAL SENT TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN ANSWER TO A NOTICE OF VIOLATION OF WATER RIGHTS? THE NOV WAS SENT TO THE LDPCSD, THE LDPCSD RESPONDED, WHY DOES THE OFFICE MANAGER REFUSE TO PROVIDE THIS REQUESTED INFORMATION?

HOW MUCH OF THIS LOCAL

GOVERNMENT AGENCY WAS ESSENTIALLY SOLD TO

PRIVATE BUSINESS CONCERNS?

WHAT ELSE MIGHT BE MISSING FROM OUR

OFFICIAL RECORDS TO CONCEAL THIS CHARADE OF A

LEGITIMATE PUBLIC AGENCY?

ANYWAY, THERE ARE STILL A FEW MORE DAYS ON THE 10 DAY RESPONSE PERIOD FOR MY MOST RECENT REQUEST – NOW MADE TO GM McGOWAN, BUT IT IS REALLY CURIOUS AS TO WHY OUR OFFICE MANAGER/BOARD SECRETARY HAS WASTED SO MUCH TIME IN REFUSING TO COMPLY WITH A SIMPLE PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST WHICH NOW BECOMES A NEEDLESS HEADACHE FOR SOMEONE NOT INVOLVED IN THIS MESS LIKE SHE HAS BEEN FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

YES, I KNOW, GET AN ATTORNEY AND GO TO COURT – RIGHT? WRONG! CORRUPT OFFICIALS LOVE THAT BECAUSE IT DOESN’T COST THEM A THIN DIME (THEY HAVE ATTORNEYS PAID FOR WITH OUR PUBLIC FUNDS!) BUT CAN FINANCIALLY RUIN THE INNOCENT CITIZEN WHO IS ONLY REQUESTING WHAT THEY HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO OBTAIN AND REVIEW. ATTORNEYS?

PRIVATE FUNDED ATTORNEYS TO CHALLENGE CORRUPT

GOVERNMENT?

ANY PRO BONO ATTORNEYS

WILLING TO HELP?

I CANNOT FORGET WHAT THE DEERWOOD CORPORATION AND HARRY ALFIER OF LAKE DON PEDRO REALTY DID TO JIM AND MARION DEAN ON ALAMO DRIVE…..THEY LOST ALMOST 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS OF THEIR “GOLDEN YEARS RETIREMENT FUND” IN A MARIPOSA SUPERIOR COURT ACTION ONLY REQUESTING THE COUNTY AND STATE OBEY THEIR OWN ESTABLISHED REGULATIONS IN REGARDS TO THE 1991 SRA FIRE SAFE ROADWAY MINIMUM ROADWAY STANDARDS FOR THE LAKE DON PEDRO DESIGNATED HIGH FIRE SEVERITY ZONE!

AND WHAT IS AGAIN SEASONALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN CALIFORNIA?

WE ARE ON FIRE!

YUP, JIM AND MARION BOTH LEFT THIS WORLD WITHIN WEEKS OF EACH OTHER WITH SUCH NEEDLESS WORRIES WEIGHING ON THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS. ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL….AND FOR WHAT? PURE CORRUPTION OF A SYSTEM INTENDED TO PROTECT THOSE IT ACTUALLY VICTIMIZES WHILE BURNING THROUGH PUBLIC FUNDS AND RESOURCES TO PROTECT THE CONTINUING SPECIAL INTEREST CORRUPTION!

AND THEN WHAT? OH! BIG SURPRISE! THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT NEEDS MORE TAX DOLLARS TO COVERUP AND CONTINUE THE CORRUPTION WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY EXPLAINING IT IS FOR THE CITIZEN’S BEST INTERESTS! WHAT A SCAM! (STILL WORKING ON WHAT I WILL WRITE ON MY PROPERTY TAX PAYMENT CHECK NEXT MONTH.)

NEWSOM/DICKEY BOOK

OH YEAH, ALMOST FORGOT….RECEIVED MY AMAZON BOOK “CITIZENVILLE HOW TO TAKE THE TOWN SQUARE DIGITAL AND REINVENT GOVERNMENT” BY GAVIN NEWSOM WITH LISA DICKEY. PRETTY MUCH WHAT I EXPECTED. I’M OVER HALF WAY THROUGH AND HONESTLY NOT SURE IF I WILL FIND THE TIME TO FINISH IT AS IT IS A TYPICAL DEMOCRAT “FEEL GOOD STORY” OF GOOD SOUNDING IDEAS BUT WITHOUT THE REAL LIFE UGLINESS OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS WHEN UTILIZED.

ESSENTIALLY THE BOOK ENCOURAGES THE GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC AND ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO COME UP WITH INNOVATIVE IDEAS TO ASSIST GOVERNMENT AND HELP CITIZENS. NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, BUT IT IGNORES WHAT OFTEN HAPPENS TO GOOD IDEAS IN THE WRONG HANDS.

FOR EXAMPLE, NEWSOM WROTE ABOUT HOW TECHNOLOGY PERMITTED EASY DONATIONS FOR THE HAITI EARTHQUAKE RELIEF FUND BY SIMPLY TEXTING THE WORD “HAITI” TO A DEDICATED NUMBER AND THE DONATION WOULD APPEAR ON THEIR NEXT CELL-PHONE BILL WITHOUT ALL THE HASSLE OF TRADITIONAL DONATION EMAILS, TELEPHONE CALLS, BANKING INFORMATION EXCHANGE, ETC.

THIS “EASY DONATION” THROUGH MOBILE DEVICES WAS CREATED BY ALEC ROSS WHO WAS A “SENIOR ADVISOR FOR INNOVATION” TO SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON. HE ALSO WORKED FOR BARACK OBAMA’S 2008 CAMPAIGN AND JOINED THE STATE DEPARTMENT LATER IN APRIL 2009. THE ROSS GOAL WAS TO USE NEW TECHNOLOGY IN THE FORM OF MOBILE PHONES AND SOCIAL NETWORKS TO FURTHER US DIPLOMACY.

HRC SUPPORTED THE ROSS CONCEPT TO THE POINT, ROSS CALLED HRC THE “GODMOTHER OF TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY STATECRAFT”.

GOOD LORD, ROSS WAS VERY CLOSE TO A PERFECT DESCRIPTION – ONLY MISSING ONE WORD…..

“GODMOTHER OF TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY STATECRAFT CORRUPTION“

2 MILLION AMERICANS DURING THE FIRST FIVE DAYS OF THE EMERGENCY IN HAITI RAISED OVER $22 MILLION – EVERYONE WAS TEXTING FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO HELP WITH THE DISASTER – ALL SOUNDS GOOD YEAH? (AMERICANS ARE TRADITIONALLY VERY COMPASSIONATE AND GENEROUS WHEN IT COMES TO SUCH EMERGENCIES IN OTHER COUNTRIES) – BUT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED WITH ALL THAT MONEY DONATED? SUPPOSEDLY FOR HAITI RELIEF?

EVER HEAR OF THE BOOK “CLINTON CASH” BY PETER SCHWEITZER? JUST ORDERED ONE. MY UNDERSTANDING FROM TELEVISION NEWS IS ONLY SOMETHING LIKE 10% OF THE DONATIONS ACTUALLY MADE IT TO HAITI TO HELP THE VICTIMS OF THAT EARTHQUAKE. THE REST WAS USED BY THE CLINTON FOUNDATION IN SUPPORT OF ITS QUESTIONABLE POLITICAL AND PRIVATE GOALS!

TRUE, THAT DOESN’T MAKE THE IDEA BAD IN ITSELF, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO WILL PERVERT A GOOD IDEA OR INTENTION INTO SELF ENRICHMENT BECAUSE OF GREED OR SPECIAL INTEREST.

(EXAMPLE: WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH USING GOVERNMENT GRANTS TO DEVELOP EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE GROUNDWATER WELLS IN A DROUGHT PRONE AREA DURING A SEVERE MULTI-YEAR STATE DROUGHT? ENTER PETE KAMPA AND HIS FAKE WL11395 POU MAP AND “PET LAFCO PROJECTS” FROM 20 YEARS AGO FOR THE EXPLANATION! THE TRUE EVIL PURPOSE MUST BE CONCEALED FROM THE PUBLIC BECAUSE IT IS A “SIMPLE CHEAT”.)

SO MUCH OF THIS IS ONLY NOW BEING PUBLICIZED. HRC AND SOCIAL MEDIA? LOL LORD KNOWS HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE KILLED, HARMED AND/OR EXPERIENCED SERIOUS LOSS AS A RESULT OF HER OUTRAGEOUS AND LACKADAISICAL APPROACH TO CONFIDENTIAL GOVERNMENT INFORMATION ON HER MOBILE DEVICES WHILE “ACTING” AS SECRETARY OF STATE? OOPS! I ALMOST FORGOT “CRIMINAL” WHICH I BELIEVE IT CERTAINLY WAS AS HRC IS NOT A DUMMY BUT A PROFESSIONAL AND CALCULATING CHEAT.

(OH….BUT TRUMP SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR CLEANING UP THE SWAMP BY ASKING LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAINING TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON? SIMILARLY – THAT WAS THE REASON I DECIDED NOT TO RUN FOR AN LDPCSD DIRECTOR POSITION AGAIN —

A GRAND JURY FOREMAN …..

(FROM THE JURY THAT STARTED OUT GREAT THEN SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL CHANGES THAT SHIFTED FOCUS AWAY FROM THE CRIMINAL PERPETRATORS! WOW! JUST LIKE THE SWRCB INVESTIGATION THAT STARTED OUT VERY PROFESSIONAL BUT AFTER A “PERSONNEL CHANGE” WAS CORRUPTED INTO A MOCKERY OF LEGITIMATE INVESTIGATION THANKS TO WHAT I BELIEVE ARE “KAMPA OPERATIVES/AGENTS” WITHIN THE SWRCB DIVISION OF WATER RIGHTS RUNNING INTERFERENCE FOR THIS APPARENT MARIPOSA/TUOLUMNE COUNTY SUPPORTED FOOTHILL WATER SCAM FOR LAFCO (LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION) ANNEXATIONS CURIOUSLY PLACED WITHIN LDPCSD SERVICE BOUNDARIES IN COMPLETE VIOLATION OF THEIR OWN OPERATING REGULATIONS!)

…….CLEARLY ADVISED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GIVE UP MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH ON THIS WEBSITE IN ORDER TO BE A PUBLIC OFFICIAL AGAIN – WHICH ALTHOUGH ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT AND ILLEGAL – STILL ILLUMINATED TO ME WHAT I WAS UP AGAINST – DIRECT MARIPOSA COUNTY INVOLVEMENT WITH THE LDPCSD CORRUPTION!

THAT GJ FOREMAN WAS A RETIRED CHP OFFICER SERVING ON THAT GRAND JURY WITH ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WHO IS NOW APPARENTLY A SITTING SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE! SINCE THE FOREMAN ADVISED HE PERSONALLY ATTEMPTED TO HAVE CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST ME THROUGH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE (WHICH WAS A LUDICROUS CONCEPT TO BEGIN WITH) I NOW SERIOUSLY WONDER IF THERE WAS COLLABORATION AND SUPPORT FOR THAT NEFARIOUS ENDEAVOR FOR A “PREEMPTIVE RESTRICTION TO FREE SPEECH” FROM THAT NOW SITTING SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE? DEAR GOD I SURE HOPE NOT- BUT WHO KNOWS? HECK, MAYBE THERE IS ANOTHER PERSON WITH THE SAME IDENTICAL NAME? REGARDLESS, I FIGURED I COULD DO MORE GOOD OUTSIDE THE LDPCSD WITH LAKEDONPEDRO.ORG THAN CONSTRAINED WITHIN THAT CORRUPT PUBLIC AGENCY CLEARLY RECEIVING SUPPORT FROM TWO BENEFITING COUNTY GOVERNMENTS. BESIDES, WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE BOARD AND KAMPA WAS BEING BROUGHT IN (WITHOUT EVEN A SIMPLE BACKGROUND CHECK WHICH WOULD HAVE REVEALED HIS PRIOR 20 YEAR LAFCO ANNEXATION SETUPS) IT WAS AN “ALL CLEAR” SIGN FOR EMERY ROSS AND DANNY JOHNSON TO PURSUE THEIR NEFARIOUS GROUNDWATER SCAM UNCHALLENGED BY A ANOTHER SITTING DIRECTOR CLEARLY OPPOSED TO SUCH ILLEGAL SHENANIGANS. WHEN CHEATS BELIEVE NO ONE IS WATCHING THEY BECOME VERY BRAVE WITH THEIR DISHONEST PURSUITS.

ANYWAY, IT WAS AN OK BOOK I GUESS (NEWSOM & DICKEY) I’LL PROBABLY FINISH IT SOME DAY WHEN I HAVE MORE TIME AFTER RECEIVING MY REQUESTED PUBLIC INFORMATION! LOL (GET IT? NEVER GET THE PUBLIC INFORMATION – WON’T BOTHER FINISHING THE BOOK!)

A NEWSOM BOOK ABOUT GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY WITH PUBLIC INFORMATION? SOUNDS LIKE THE SETUP FOR A BAD JOKE, YEAH? WELL IT IS- AND IT’S CALLED

THE CURRENT STATE OF

CALIFUSION

ON THIS WEBSITE!

PERHAPS GOVERNOR NEWSOM SHOULD SEND COPIES OF HIS BOOK TO MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO AND THE LAKE DON PEDRO CSD? MAYBE HIS OWN STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD (SWRCB) AS THEY APPARENTLY STILL BELIEVE THE MERCED RIVER RUNS THROUGH SUTTER COUNTY WAY UP NORTH? (WHY IS THAT MISINFORMATION-DISINFORMATION STILL ON THE SWRCB WATER RIGHTS COMPLAINT WEBPAGE DESPITE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR CORRECTION?)

MAYBE THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES THAT SOMEHOW ALREADY HAD THAT FAKE KAMPA MIDPOU MAP ON FILE IN THEIR RECORDS COULD BENEFIT FROM THE NEWSOM/DICKEY SUGGESTIONS OF OPENING UP PUBLIC INFORMATION? HOW DID THAT BAD INFORMATION RETENTION HAPPEN TO COME ABOUT ANYWAY? (REM? WHEN THE SWRCB STARTED THAT EXCELLENT INVESTIGATION – WHICH WAS LATER QUICKLY CORRUPTED – THEY (SWRCB) OBTAINED THAT INCORRECT INFORMATION FROM ANOTHER STATE WATER AGENCY! HOW?) PERHAPS NEWSOM’S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE – HEADED BY AN ATTORNEY GENERAL INVOLVED WITH THE WASHINGTON DC MISSING DNC SERVER MIGHT BENEFIT FROM HIS WORDS OF WISDOM IN THAT BOOK ABOUT FREE INFORMATION EXCHANGE AND THE RESULTING BENEFITS TO SOCIETY? BLAH, BLAH, BLAH ….JUST NICE SOUNDING WORDS WITH NO HONEST INTENT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN – A SHAM TO DISTRACT FROM THE IMPORTANT ISSUES.

MERELY TALKING ABOUT “GOOD STUFF” IS A FAR CRY FROM “MAKING IT HAPPEN” AND A LOT OF REALLY “BAD STUFF” OFTEN OCCURS IN BETWEEN, WHICH WHEN DISCOVERED BY THE PUBLIC, IS QUICKLY COVERED UP AND LATER DESTROYED (LIKE IN SIMPLY “WIPING OFF A DISK WITH A CLOTH” – LOL) AS THE EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION THAT IT IS.

NO, I DID NOT SEE ANY EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED TO PETER KAMPA IN THE NEWSOM/DICKEY BOOK ON HOW TO CREATE A FAKE WL11395 DIGITAL POU MAP AND USE IT TO REPLACE THE OFFICIAL “HARD COPY” SWRCB MAP ON FILE IN SACRAMENTO IN KAMPA’S ATTEMPT TO LEGITIMIZE EXISTING AND PROPOSED ILLEGAL WATER CONNECTIONS, BUT AS ALWAYS, HINTS ARE EVERYWHERE FOR A DISHONEST PERSON TO UTILIZE OTHERWISE INNOCENT INFORMATION FOR CORRUPT PURPOSES – AND THAT IS SOMETHING PETE KAMPA MIGHT CONSIDER WRITING ABOUT IN HIS OWN BOOK AS AN EXPERT. PERSONALLY I BELIEVE THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SHOULD PROVIDE KAMPA WITH PLENTY OF “QUIET TIME” TO ACCOMPLISH SUCH A PROJECT IF DESIRED.

Sunday, October 13th, 2019

Still think that advisory statement by PETER NAVARRO (trade advisor to President Trump) was brilliant.  Every time you hear the term “IMPEACHMENT”,  – LISTEN to the SIGNAL and IGNORE THE NOISE!   I thought about adding – Listen to the SIGNAL (“KEEPING AMERICA GREAT”), and ignore the NOISE (“ONLY USED TO DELAY and WAIT”) but decided not to complicate that “clean statement” any further.  Heck, as it is I used the wrong recording for uploading that left out the word “and” lol.       My best to you and yours, Lew  

FRIDAY, October 11th, 2019/1015 hrs +/-

POWER BACK ON!

Sitting in the darkness

Breathing forest smoke

Same as when I went to sleep

And this morning when I awoke

Inconvenient but tolerable

“Cheat camping” right at home

By way of portable gas generator

And a working rotary phone

Less than two days, no biggie

Everyday many live with much less

Good reminder how fortunate we are

Despite citizen political distress

but…….

Consider a LEFT PARTY that controlled everything

Especially our communications and power

Subject to shut down anytime it wanted

Compelling citizens to vote as desired

What’s the difference with these LEFT PROTESTS?

Shutting down colleges, businesses, and traffic

Unilaterally demand attention from others

Grownup tantrums with “baby-like colic”.

MBTY&Y, Lew

GOT TO GO JUST LOST POWER AND BATTERY ONLY LAST SO LONG 1532hrs

iT’S BACK, 1533, OFF AGAIN, LATER!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

LISTEN TO THE SIGNAL AND IGNORE THE NOISE!

Started the normal routine – a “good morning conversation” regarding our agenda for the day with Liz (my German Shepherd Dog) at the foot of the bed. Liz often triggers this wake up routine with very soft SIGNALS usually consisting of subdued whines and a playful tail thumping. After our “good morning” acknowledgements I locate the television remote that is concealed somewhere to the right within bedding sheets and blankets where it was abandoned when previously drifting off to sleep.

Turning on the television this morning I heard an unfamiliar voice on the OAN (ONE AMERICAN NEWS) morning report (President Trump Trade Advisor PETER NAVARRO) making a statement which immediately caught my attention. His statement was EXQUISITELY SIMPLE, EXPLANATORY, LOGICAL, and ENCOURAGED EXACTLY WHAT AMERICAN PATRIOTS HAVE BEEN DOING ANYWAY (supporting our duly elected President of the United States and his administration).

“Listen to the signal and

ignore the noise”.

WOW. Obviously this could mean different things to different people, but I think it a great slogan to assist others in sifting through the garbage in recognizing the

SIGNAL OF POSITIVE ACTIVITY FOR OUR COUNTRY

over the actual dangers and threats posed by the DEMO-LEFT that are

camouflaged in the distracting

NOISE OF A FRAUDULENT IMPEACHMENT.

Yup, short and sweet. Directly to the point while simultaneously clarifying the disgusting activities of the DEMOCRAT LEFT whose refusal to properly discharge their elected duties have derailed our system of law and justice – which were specifically designed to protect all citizens in this great country. Mr. NAVARRO delivered that brilliant message with an exquisite style as well.

So, will the American Public ultimately be extremely disappointed with yet another SENATOR PELOSI decision based on a DEMOCRAT-SOCIALIST-LEFT political agenda and not what is best for OUR UNITED STATES of AMERICA and her citizens? REM: That’s ALL US CITIZENS REGARDLESS OF OUR WONDERFULLY DIVERSE CHARACTERISTICS AS INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE WE ARE A FAMILY OF USA CITIZENS AND OUR “COLLECTIVE HOME” AS A COUNTRY IS BEING THREATENED. Enough blah, blah, blah – listen for yourself, what do you think?

I also wanted to post that video comment by (Dem, Tx) AL GREEN so you could hear it for yourself, but unlike all the Anti-Trump “guerilla style short video shots” the media FORCE FEEDS THE PUBLIC, apparently it was decided such “agenda clear video snippets” from the DEM-LEFT should be much more difficult to obtain and share with others. So, this (below gigantic link) is the best I could find on the subject of the AL GREEN comment. (I don’t care the PARAGRAPH SIZED LINK might look bad on the webpage, heck, the information is far more important than appearance.)

You know, I can understand the desperate attempt to lessen the impact of this very clear and illuminating comment as to the actual reason for this continuing charade of a legitimate impeachment process. All that “for the people” rationalization is just plain “NOISE” and is intended to almost hypnotize one into ignoring or forgetting the primary purpose of this fraud of an impeachment:

“I’m concerned if we don’t impeach this president he will get re-elected”

The DEM LEFT is quite aware of their increasing lack of credibility and integrity and more people everyday are waking up and discovering their once beloved and respected Democrat party has been hi-jacked by a highly organized group of unethical cheats and liars determined to destroy OUR AMERICA as we have known it since the beginning.

Anyway, you’ll have to listen to a few minutes of the “AL GREEN NOISE” before getting to the meat of his comment at 1 min 43 seconds.

Interesting, yeah? So much of what Al Green said those few months ago has since already been proven absolutely wrong! Good Heavens. The Mueller Report? lol. FBI biased investigations? Set ups with international spies? IRS targeting DEM opposition? The Russian hoax against Trump? It just never ends – why would it when only evil imagination is required by the LEFT? Wow!

Is it not interesting as to how all these DEMO-LEFT POLITICIANS continually interject what TRUMP, will or will not do? What Trump does, or does not mean when he speaks? Geez, if we listened to the DEMO-LEFT ???—- remember all the guarantees that THERE WAS NO POSSIBLE AVENUE THAT WOULD PERMIT TRUMP TO BE ELECTED PRESIDENT. Well, there you go. Dem-Left has been wrong since day one.

Green refers to himself as the canary in the coal mine (a time when live birds were taken into mines to see if they would die due to harmful gases present. If they lived it was OK for humans to go down there and work, if they died? Get another canary.) WHAT? AL GREEN, a canary? lol Keeping with that coal mine example, if anything, AL GREEN is more like an ignition source for the traditional flammable gases in mines! (Which many Demo-Left politicians are full of incidentally …. hot expanding flammable gas! lol)

Also, using that quote by the Rev. Martin Luther King and taking it OUT OF CONTEXT in an attempt to conceal the DEM-LEFT FABRICATED IMPEACHMENT PROCESS as a coup d’ etat to remove PRESIDENT TRUMP, is an insult to that positive observation which is often shorthanded into “doing the right thing”.

(Boy I like that PETE NAVARRO COMMENT ON OAN this morning!)

Personally I believe that statement should be a conservative talking point that gets hammered like a nail as often as possible!

PLEASE do not forget, although

IMPEACHMENT MAY BE THE NOISE

in reality it is a DEMOCRAT LEFT ATTEMPT

at a COUP D’ ETAT* of OUR PRESIDENT !

(REALIZE ALSO THERE IS A “POSITIVE SIMULTANEOUS SIGNAL” FOR PATRIOTS TO RECOGNIZE ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS AND CORRECTIONS ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED and TO INCREASE THIS UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORT FOR OUR PRESIDENT BY ASSISTING OTHERS IN IDENTIFYING and IGNORING THIS DEMO-LEFT CALCULATED NOISE TO DECEIVE THE AMERICAN VOTER!)

(Naturally your political party does not matter – only a true heart, mind and a willingness to learn the facts and do what is BEST FOR AMERICA!)

*Though certainly not the traditional coup d’ etat (later) make no mistake many American Patriots have been victims of this criminal conspiracy resulting in unwarranted injury and harm by the very institutions they supported and defended for decades with integrity and honor.

SO, WHY IMPEACH?

DEM-LEFT couldn’t beat him in 2016

EVEN WITH THEIR RIGGED ELECTION

so THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES use a

FABRICATED BASIS FOR WRONGFUL IMPEACHMENT!

aka

FAKE IMPEACHMENT =

UNETHICAL ATTEMPT AT A

COUP D’ ETAT!

True, fairly bloodless when compared with the original and literal, “off with their heads political change” meaning of the past but make no mistake blood has been shed as a result of this DEMO-LEFT CORRUPTION within government. Also realize this “over throw plan” did not just begin with the Trump election – but is the result of an incremental process of infiltration and obstructionism spanning decades which has festered within many areas of American society.

WELL EDUCATED? THE DEMO-LEFT IS JUST THE OPPOSITE ONCE AGAIN.

Many point to our failing educational system as a primary factor in creating and maintaining this nightmare of DEMO-LEFT DYSFUNCTION supported and advanced through MEDIA PROPAGANDA SERVICES – consider: Even highly educated people are on the streets protesting and ranting to abolish (are you ready?) OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH! crazy yeah? For some reason this makes me think of a defiant fish demanding to have the water drained from its tank! lol

Yesterday I saw a news report where even the Secretary of Homeland Security was shouted down by protestors and occurred at, of all places, the Georgetown Law School. WHAT? Check it out….

These are our future legally trained scholars and leaders of our country in both the private and government realm? People you may have to trust with your life, property and freedom? So sure their perspective is the only reasonable way to proceed they DESTROY AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY (regardless of current immigration pro or con perspective) FOR THOSE INTERESTED STUDENTS TO HAVE A MEANINGFUL DIALOG? Why? Because they believe “The time is always right to do right” so they shout down a high ranking government representative who was there to discuss and answer legitimate questions about immigration and related matters?

BELIEVING ONE IS RIGHT, DOES NOT MAKE THEM RIGHT.

How many viewers truly believe this is the type of situation the Rev. Martin Luther King envisioned when he made the observation of “doing the right thing”?

Heck, even current CA Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to prevent Trump from being on the ballot in California! He was going to violate the Constitutional Rights of every Californian who would vote for Trump because only his DEMO-LEFT OPINION was controlling! How frigg’n arrogant is that? Sound like freedom to you? Or a dictatorship?

This is the Demo-Left. They say one thing about “FOR THE PEOPLE” then do exactly the opposite by PREVENTING AND CONCEALING RELEVANT INFORMATION, OPTIONS, ALTERNATIVES even CITIZEN CHOICE while blaming President Trump for all that they do as spoiled brats pretending to have concern “FOR THE PEOPLE” as sincere advocates and protesters. They are fakes! Frauds! Imposters desperately trying to hold on to a power they wrongfully obtained through deceit and trickery.

No different than the screaming brats we’ve all observed in markets and stores…..uncontrolled children crying and screaming, ranting, throwing stuff, rolling and flopping around on the dirty store floor pounding at the ground with their tightly clenched little fists, demanding their candy, cookies, soda pop, whatever…… just generally pitching a big public display as the spoiled brat they are who can only win in such situation by way of uncontrolled tantrum. The parent gives in JUST TO MAKE IT STOP!!!

Oh well, guess it works for some folks since they can still obviously grow up (at least physically) and become self-important DEMO-LEFT political officials in the House of Representatives. Or crooked FBI agents. Or international double-triple spies? Perhaps just run of the mill everyday TRAITORS TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND HER CITIZENS?

Sadly, such behavior apparently works even in a top law school environment because it has failed to exercise reasonable control over their own facility. (Conservative parents paying tuition might have a thing to say about their children being denied such a great opportunity to interact with a top US government representative. Think of the public funded time and resources that were wasted on that otherwise positive attempt to “educate” legal scholars?)

So these rude flopping around crying babies got their candy….(no meaningful exchange between the scheduled speaker and students interested in something other than making fools of themselves) because, RIGHTLY SO I MIND YOU, the Secretary had more important things to do than stand there as a target of a bunch of still ignorant and rude “baby like” activists yelling and chanting at him. Frankly, I would have left long before that – so I do admire his patience. (hum, maybe their Democrat Left activist parents should have eaten them as babies before they cried their way into higher educational environments? lol)

Also, with all the conversations about the legitimate use of guns in public and private educational facilities to protect students from would be insane killers, I could not help but extend that concept just a little bit further in protecting our educational process. Like in the above law school situation, perhaps a few* well placed tranquilizer darts (delivered by trained and authorized school personnel) could have permitted that otherwise positive presentation to continue without further interruption while expulsion paperwork was completed in the administration office for all those participating in such childish tantrums? (If not a student, perhaps they could “wake up” for a nice breakfast provided by what ever correctional facility they were transferred while catching a few ZZZZZZs! lol

*I’d be willing to bet money, marbles or chalk after the first few protestors dropped for the “unscheduled rest period” (via tranquilizer darts) the rest of the herd would likely be a bit more attentive to the speaker, or at the very least, would quickly vacate the premises in order to avoid their appropriate, necessary, and long over-due “baby nap”.

HELLO! Tuesday, October 8th, 2019. Trying to prepare something for this page (differing from a regular “post”, with the last one being last July about the continuing water license misrepresentation). Anyway, hang on it will take a bit.

Any old Seinfeld fans out there? The following clip still cracks me up. Good ‘ol Elaine is bored at a social event and tired of hearing this woman going on about her fiancee, so for fun livens things up a bit. That mischievous look says it all – classic Elaine yeah?

Anyway, after hearing that news report the other day about the satirical “We must eat the babies” proposal to AOC during a public speaking engagement – well, I immediately thought of this episode of Seinfeld……

https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=jnazafzv&p=dingo+ate+your+baby#id=1&vid=8333ca0c6c790991805a600090e90f0a&action=click

This is making me a nervous wreck! lol I haven’t used this new software version long enough to be screwing around with live data entry. Let’s see, was unsuccessful in snagging a URL for the “Eat the babies” video but I’m sure you can find it easily. Anyway, I was doing some other recording and in between the multiple attempts to get a part done correctly in “one take” saw this news report on OAN so was able to quickly audio record.

What did you folks think after hearing such a shocking proposal? My first thought was the poor woman had just walked away from some sort of a mental health care facility. Yet,….she had the time to have a nice T-shirt printed up with her baby eating message….? Perhaps multiple “walk a-ways” in preparation for her unique proposal in combating global climate change within the next few months? lol My second thought was, if she were not a resident somewhere, perhaps someone could compassionately assist her in possibly pursuing that avenue of exploration.

There may have been a few other “lightening bolts” of gray matter static connecting other “baby eating references” but Elaine’s was most certainly at the top of a short list.

Well, that didn’t work. Much to large of a file, OK then, into the LAME VIDEO….need to reconfigure some things…later!

OK THEN, let’s see, 1545hrs, not bad, uploaded and basically ready to go (for another incomplete project but I figure accomplishing some of it is better than sacrificing the whole idea to non action…right?)

Ever hear that expression “swatting at mosquitoes when up to your ass in alligators”, or variations such as “why swat mosquitoes when alligators are chewing on your ass”, ……? Well, if not, you’ll get an earful in my characteristic repetitive blah, blah, blah LAME format (Lew’s “Almost Music” Expression) for this mutated cross between “Maybe a Democrat Ate Your Baby” and a “Swatting At Mosquitoes” Democrat theme. Although I really tried to avoid accumulating so many files, I did it again never-the-less with some of the same resulting confusion. Anyway, here is the majority of the project – I need to wrap this up because although Liz has been very tolerant, her patience is growing thin! lol

“MAYBE A DEMOCRAT ATE YOUR BABY?”

GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS. Well, while trying to finish FAIL 2c4 USA FIN (“FIN” was supposed to designate the “FINAL REVISION” (what a joke! I have sooooooo many files with similar names I get confused. Why so many files? I’ve learned the hard way that sometimes a “best take” has been inadequately mixed with something else, so instead of having say, guitar and drums on the same clip (played together at the same time when recording), it is better to have a guitar clip laid over the drums for later playback and recording. Why? Necessary in editing, especially for non musicians like myself who spend and inordinate amount of time “HUNTING FOR A PARTICULAR NOTE” on the guitar or keyboard! LOL! I kid you not. When I hit a sour or bad note while recording (don’t even want to think about that ratio) I can sometimes “remove” it during editing while leaving the background drums. Yeah, kind of confusing when you have many different takes, with corresponding files and folders. Anyway, I screwed up late last night and confused file names and spent hours downloading/uploading the WRONG #$$%^&*! FILE!!! So, now what? Well, besides Liz being pissed and outdoor work piling up…… I must reluctantly return to this project which means trying to discover where the file names got mixed up. For example, the current posted video is “FAIL 2c4 USA FIN” but it has many brothers, sisters, cousins, blah, blah, blah….”FAIL 2c”, “FAIL 2C”, “FAIL 2c wbanjo”, “FAIL 2c4 USA”, “FAIL 2C$USA”, FAIL 2C YUdo this”, (lol). There is also the possibility that prior to uploading to YOUTUBE I inadvertently turned off some tracks while editing for the upload so the missing revisions still exist but I need to find the correct file and turn them on, produce the project, then upload again. Sorry. Lew

Absolutely disgusting what is transpiring within OUR GOVERNMENT under the camouflage of “Public service” by Democrat Socialist politicians, officials, DEEP STATE ACTIVISTS, and their assorted ilk along with the “necessary fuel” received from those who support such anti American activities. (Sad part is, PERHAPS NOT EVEN INTENTIONALLY, but rather due to a severe lack of accurate news from the traditional sources.

PLEASE! IF YOU VALUE AN INFORMED VOTE: CHECK OUT:

OAN: ONE AMERICA NEWS!

Anyway, having watched that ridiculous committee hearing about yet another FAKE WHISTLE BLOWER COMPLAINT against OUR PRESIDENT, the insulting questioning of OUR ACTING INTELLIGENCE CHIEF (JOSEPH MAGUIRE), and the LEFT’s REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRUTH, well, I was inspired to torture you folks with another LAME: [FAIL 2c4 USA (FIN) BELOW]. Yes it is a sort of therapy in a sense, well at least for me. You folks might required therapy after listening. lol

Yes once again it certainly appears that it is the DEMOCRATS who have actually been involved and committing the very violations of law and public trust of which they WRONGFULLY ACCUSE OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP! (Classic defense strategy of the guilty! Companion to the RED FLAG ATTACK: create a problem, blame another, offer solution to problem and regardless of outcome, profit from other people detrimentally relying upon the false information and assurances.)

I am know firmly convinced our NATION’S MOST DANGEROUS ENEMIES are working right here within OUR GOVERNMENT clad in a FAKE (CORRUPT) PUBLIC SERVICE facade.

Consider that for a moment.

Our military can effectively take care of whatever the world may throw at us on that front, but how do you EFFECTIVELY DEAL WITH DOMESTIC POLITICAL OBSTRUCTIONISM and TERRORIST TECHNIQUES USED AGAINST LEGITIMATE USA PATRIOTS? [Individuals/groups actively working WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT against YOUR/OUR COUNTRY’S BEST INTERESTS? aka, infiltrators, spies, disinformation & obstructionism experts – utilitizing (among other things) FALSE ACCUSATIONS OF WRONG DOING resulting in a variety of lengthy (costly) misguided (sham) investigations desparately fishing for any miniscule tidbit of information which could then be blown up into DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST FAKE TALKING POINT FOR FURTHER DISENGENUOUS LEFT POLITICAL ACTION!

“FAIL 2c4 USA FIN” offers a simple solution: SOCIALISTS OUT (because they fail to see for (take care of) the USA!) & COMMON SENSE IN (seriously, who is making more sense in these “MAKE BELIEVE ACCUSATIONS by Democrats” against President Trump?

How has America come to be in such a better position in only a few years? (DESPITE CONSTANT HARASSMENT AND OBSTRUCTION? IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITH SUPPORT (rather a lack of constant obstruction) FROM THE LEFT?

“GOOD NATIONAL NEWS” is a result of President Trump and his evolving administration! (EVOLVING IS GOOD – STAGNANT – like the Democrat Socialist LEFT is ALWAYS BAD. Stuck in that “old DEMO rut”, complete with smoking spinning tires but going nowhere.)

Extremely positive and multi dimensional achievements for our USA and CITIZENS are clear but constantly covered/concealed by the left with more FAKE & CORRUPT PROPAGANDA BY THE MAIN NEWS OUTLETS.

You know, I never watched those old Trump shows (Apprentice, etc) as I prefer truthful legitimate news with some thought provoking space science fiction for desert and balanced entertainment -(actually, there is often a valid cross over between the two! lol) but I’ve been wondering for some time now about this obvious contempt and hatred the left displays for the President. It is truly vicious. What causes such blind hatred?
Could it be that some easily impressional folks who so disliked, were offended and/or outraged by those old Trump’s entertainment shows actually PASSED THEIR NEGATIVE FEELINGS, either by design or accident, to their growing families and younger friends and acquaintances? Could they have played a role in creating a core group of Trump Haters just because of some television shows they didn’t approve of or like? Who knows? Maybe they are now indeed proud parents and mentors of those ANTIFA ACTIVISTS (which itself is an oxymoron – rather like active arsonists advocating fire safety while burning down a community) who mask faces and disguise identities for the purpose of LAW VIOLATION in PROTEST TO “MADE UP ISSUES” by other comrades? Protests which include (but are not limited to) traffic obstruction, closure of public facilities, destruction of property, assault and battery on innocent nonviolent adversaries and bystanders – EVEN ACCOSTING ELDERLY WOMEN WITH WALKERS ON A STREET CROSSWALK! Yup, they (parents/mentors of the LEFT) must be very pleased and proud of what they have vicariously created through their own childish and immature television entertainment intolerance and bias. Just a thought. My best to you and yours, Lew

WAS IT ALWAYS LIKE THIS?

I really never had a great interest in, or experienced an attractive pull towards, political involvement other than the traditional attempt to stay informed (reading all election material presented in voter pamphlets) and always voting when provided the opportunity.  Of course in my “later years” (due to concerns about the legal misdirection this area had experiienced, and was continuing to follow) did run as a candidate, was elected, and served on both, local private and public boards.  Oh no, I assure you I am not forgetting being recalled with an entire board as well . 

That was an excellent move by the land development/real estate backed group that ONLY orchestrated another TEMPORARY obstruction to this area finally reaching and being exposed to TRUTHFUL AND LEGAL FACT which had so meticulously been concealed for decades to preserve the ever increasing corruption of an entire community. Why? What is it usually?

Obtaining influential money/power and maintaining both – regardless of the obvious harm and detriment to those sacrificed for private third party profit. Guess who that usually is? That’s right! The “DEEP POCKET ALREADY VICTIMIZED PUBLIC”!!! After all, what can they do in response, quit paying taxes and imposed fees? Where will that get them? Nope.

Honest, truthful fact and accountability for those who intentionally violate public law for private profit is the only thing that will correct such continuing corruption.

Actually, I wear that RECALL as a BADGE OF HONOR considering who and why it was orchestrated! I had complete strangers for years apologize to me for falling prey to the absolute lies and carefully constructed disinformation spread by those SPECIAL INTERESTS – who are professionals at such deception. And I am a semi-hermit! lol!

What were we just listening to at the last LDPCSD meeting…..

“we were told we could get water too”!

Translation: SUBSIDIZED EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION FOR THE SAME PRICE AS THOSE MERCED RIVER WATER ENTITLED CUSTOMERS WITHIN THE WATER LICENSE APPROVED RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION WHO ARE MANDATORY CUSTOMERS OF THE DISTRICT AND WHO MUST PAY ALL THE ADDITIONAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH SPECIAL BENEFIT WATER SERVICE OUR DISTRICT HAS NO LEGAL DUTY OR MORAL OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE THESE PROPERTIES OUTSIDE THE MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT PLACE OF USE PER WATER LICENSE 11395.

Anyway, the point I was trying to make was:  I never wanted to be a politician and have never made any “living-wage money” from such participation other than the traditional $100/month stipend through the LDPCSD for directors attending a monthly board meeting. 

Perhaps an antiquated view, but in my mind that $100 carried with it the responsibility (duty?) of reading all meeting preparation materials, ie, the AGENDA PACKET and related, attending all meetings, and understanding the material in order to make informed, reasonable, common sense decisions on behalf of the customers I served.  Naturally all of the above assumes there are no SPECIAL INTERESTS POSSESSED BY DIRECTORS who might serve on a board. Unfortunately, there is no requirement that a director must possess the ability to read (or otherwise consume) the information, much less understand the same. This obligation to actually do the work is simply a personal choice.

So what is a special interest?  Good question and there are all sorts of complicated legal definitions and interpretations to apply to ever widening situations (as people attempt to cheat the system more and more), but the term to which I reference is a common, reasonable person type general definition:

some personal/business interest or concern which might reasonably produce (whether by designed intent, likely outcome, chance, accident, happenstance etc.) a more favorable outcome to the side of the DECIDING INDIVIDUAL (family, friends, supporters, etc) OVER THAT OF THE INTENDED BENEFICIARY (the public). 

Classic example, a town needs a new highway bypass yet local politicians orchestrate with planners and financial backers a much MORE EXPENSIVE and LESS EFFICIENT highway bypass through locations where the land required must be purchased by a family member, associate or other designated beneficiaries/recipients, rather than the cheaper, COMMON SENSE, and more accommodating land available for such project which would benefit the public and local taxpayers.    

RESULT:  The INTENDED BENEFICIARY WAS THE PUBLIC but they actually received a poorly designed, inconvenient, and very expensive lousy section of highway, but the “honest graft” (a term I picked up in a Public Administration course many years ago – intended to take the “STING” out of being perceived as just a common public law violator for profit) by those politicians benefited, not only, those selling “bypass land” for greatly exaggerated values – but also the value of all the adjacent properties to that project which would be re-zoned commercial to capitalize on the increased traffic patterns and sales potential.  (Like a big rock thrown into a still pond, the financial rippling effects continue outward increasing property values in some areas, while perhaps decreasing them in others. Zoning, property uses, taxation, permitting, blah, blah, blah, lots of money to be made while going completely in the wrong direction of honest public benefit and service.

ANYWAY….. not a politician, but due to continued schooling and public service employment I was informed on most general political topics, but I’ve noticed something lately and do not recall it existing, and if it did, being so DARN OBVIOUS as it is now.

There appears to be a long political parade of government officials who are OVER STEPPING THE ACTUAL SCOPE AND PERFORMANCE OF THEIR DULY ELECTED/APPOINTED POSITIONS.

Rather like an active POLITICAL TRESPASS into SUBJECT AREAS THAT ARE formally and specifically designated to other elected/appointed/employed government officials for them to manage, administer, report, blah, blah, blah, whatever! It is someone else’s assigned duties that are being addressed by politicians elected to do something else…..like running the COLLAPSING STATE OF CALIFUSION!

Take a look at the below article about the Governor Gavin Newsom trips to Denmark and the United Nations in New York regarding global climate change.

SERIOUSLY? Are there not enough very serious problems and failures right here in

“THIS CURRENT STATE OF CALIFUSION”

to occupy the governor’s time and energy? While Califusion sinks further and further into disrepair and mismanagement, Newsom is jetting all over the world to combat climate change on a global level? Good grief. (I seriously doubt Newsom took (rather, “would take”) a cruise ship to Denmark, but who knows? How will he visit his ULTRA LIBERAL LEFTIST COMRADES IN DENMARK IF THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE IS TO BE ABOLISHED IN A COUPLE OF DECADES BY A PARTY OF ANTI AMERICAN SOCIALIST LEFTISTS?)

Well, this isn’t the first visible connection with the LEFT EU that sure might explain the reluctance of Sacramento officials to seriously investigate and prosecute our former LDPCSD GM/Treasurer who had previously stated on the internet (much of his digital background has since been sanitized for some reason) he was a plant manager at DELFT UNIVERSITY in Europe. Strange yeah? Wonder if American Citizenship had anything to do with his initial refusal to take the OATH OF OFFICE at multiple CSD’s he was “remote managing” in the heyday of KAMPA COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS, LLC, KAMPACS, KCS, blah, blah, blah…..whatever! Who really knows?

2248hrs

1646hrs, still Sunday Sept 22nd

Availability fees – why no increase since first raised from the $10/ac to $60/ac formula many  years ago?  Because the real estate/land development industry pitches such a fit!   Harder to sell properties in the subdivision with higher property tax assessments for water; picking on absentee owners, “whaa, whaa, whaa, this is unfair” ….but it works. Cowardly boards threatened with recall don’t stand up and do what is best for the district and legal customers, and just “go with the flow”.

Ever think about how many of the serious difficulties with the LDPCSD can be directly related to what is considered best for the outside MIDPOU LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES, or even those property owners with unimproved land within the subdivision, over that of the LDP subdivision residents who pay the lion’s share of the bills and actually receive water service?

Why no legally required MSR?  Municipal Service Review which is required for changing SOI (Sphere of Influence) which is basically the logical expansion area for a limited service special district. Emery brought that up during the last meeting – funny huh? Golly gee, why no MSR in all these years? I brought it up while on the board a number of times, the very day his (Emery Ross’s) orchestrated plan of hiring this former rogue employee to be our new GM/Treasurer with access to over one million dollars in cash of CSD money, …..our former GM stated quite clearly on the record his advocacy for pursuing the MSR along with a traditional search for a new GM. But the Ross plan worked. Kampa was hired on the spot without even an employment background check – not even here! Evidently being a CSDA (CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT ASSOCIATION) 20 year BOARD MEMBER trumped even the REASONABLE AND BASIC IDEA OF CHECKING HIS PREVIOUS EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE RECORD AT THE VERY PUBLIC AGENCY THEY WERE ABOUT TO HAND OVER TO HIM ALONG WITH A MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH!

That’s something else.  COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT implies a much larger service area than say a residential subdivision which just happened to have been the actual PLACE OF USE entitled to the Merced River water impounded at Lake McClure per Water License 11395.  SOI and WATER, a major consideration that even the 1987 detailed Mariposa County SOI Study and Report curiously never mentioned.  That report more than adequately documented with exquisite precision all the parcels signing up for E-Z LAFCO ANNEXATION INTO THE LDPCSD which could then provide QUALITY BLENDED GROUNDWATER/RIVER WATER (completely circumventing the restrictions on Merced River water service outside the subdivision POU) for the same price as subdivision entitled properties and without the same use conditions subject to the subdivision properties! Best part for the county and their LAFCO ANNEXATIONS? The added and increasing costs were paid for by MR WECs (Merced River Water Entitled Customers) of the subdivision who were MANDATORY CUSTOMERS OF THE LDPCSD a water company formed by LAFCO to serve LAFCO ANNEXATIONS while forcing all MR WECS to pay for the extra costs!

That sounds incredible, yeah? This in depth massive endeavor to research, study and report on the most reasonable and feasible areas to receive future water service from a TWO COUNTY LAFCO CREATED CSD (which I believe is just a SPECIAL DISTRICT WITH MULTIPLE LIMITED SERVICES). 

So, what other services are currently provided by the LDPCSD?  None that I am aware of, but Mariposa County formed the LDPCSD in August 1980 with the condition that LDPCSD would eventually take over and run that waste water plant once it was repaired and operating correctly.

STOP!

Catch that little “qualifier” as to the acceptance of that waste water facility by the LDPCSD?   Operating correctly? 

Sorry, but to me that was/is a BIG CLUE (complete with yellow flashing caution lights and loud klaxons sounding in the background!)

So, time goes on, the old system is obviously not going to support the UNCONTROLLED DEVELOPMENT AROUND THE GOLF COURSE THAT WAS IN VIOLATION OF SUBDIVISION CC&Rs, but the COUNTY kept issuing and approving permits anyway.  Heck, at one time if you were on the Mariposa County website, there were numerous links to the massive TOWNSHIP project proposed by the land development/mortgage Corporation DEERWOOD, out of San Ramon.  REM? 

Then what does the County do? Have a new waste water plant constructed not on the golf course like the last one, but OUTSIDE THE MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT PLACE OF USE FOR Merced River water! Expensive groundwater must now be used for sewer service around the golf course. So? Well, MR WECs has been subsidizing the water service there as well due to the cost of the GROUNDWATER WELLS Kampa had developed with PUBLIC FUNDS.

Heck, Mariposa County was approving stuff so fast when Deerwood was in motion it was the perfect opportunity for the unscrupulous to pull some fast ones, or so the county might have you believe, personally I think Deerwood had to have knowingly and co-operating officials within key positions in the county to successfully conduct his MANY CUT-CORNERS DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES TO INCREASE HIS PROFIT MARGIN.

ENCROACHMENT PERMIT SCAM -WRONGFULLY USED TO CONSTRUCT ACTUAL NON-CONFORMING ROADWAYS IN VIOLATION OF STATE LAW

Many nonconforming DEVELOPER CONVENIENCE ROADS, carved into hillsides and valleys to enable low cost easy access to traditionally difficult to develop properties because of terrain (steep, rocky, etc.) never obtained the proper CONSTRUCTION BUILDING PERMITS much less APPROVALS. A Deerwood “local representative” would pull an encroachment permit (typically for a 20’ connection from the subdivision lot to county or state maintained roadway) and then with a “driveway permit” actually CONSTRUCT A SUBSTANDARD ROADWAY IN VIOLATION OF EXISTING COUNTY AND STATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS!   

So instead of having to construct four separate, and potentially very expensive – depending upon the “view to be obtained”, and legally conforming driveways per REQUIRED SRA FIRE SAFE CODES to each residence, THE DEERWOOD CORPORATION began cutting single lane access roads along the adjacent property boundaries so as to reach each proposed house construction parcel with only one ROADWAY that DEERWOOD and HARRY ALFIER consistently, and incorrectly, refer to as a simple driveway!

Folks, how many times have we seen this through the years?   Video on the news involving communities destroyed by wildfire and lives lost because of “hair pin turns”, “bottle-necks”, “one lane roads”, “escape limited areas”, etc, preventing not only fire equipment response, but even more importantly, AN OPEN AND ACCESSIBLE ESCAPE PATH FOR THOSE FLEEING THE CONFLAGRATION!  Imagine, thick smoke, bumper to bumper emergency and resident traffic on a 10’ wide winding hillside road, with a steep ravine on the downhill side of the inferior road base, then some vehicle ahead of you breaks down and your are trapped as the fire approaches.

Every time I think about JIM AND MARION DEAN losing close to half a million dollars of their “GOLDEN YEARS RETIREMENT FUND” and leaving this world within weeks of each other with such troubles on their hearts and minds due to a failed attempt to simply get MARIPOSA COUNTY ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES and THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA to obey their own existing regulations IN THIS HIGH FIRE SEVERITY DESIGNATED FIRE ZONE…… well, like right now, my blood pressure is up and I am angry that such OUTRAGEOUS NEGLIGENCE AND LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY BY OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ON BOTH THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL IS PERMITTED TO CONTINUE DAY AFTER DAY, WEEK AFTER WEEK, MONTH AFTER MONTH, YEAR AFTER YEAR…… WITHOUT ANY ACCOUNTABILITY BY THOSE WHO CONSPIRE TO COMMITT SUCH WRONGDOINGS!  

What next? Of course! The State of California would then pass an illegal SRA FIRE FEE on all property owners in SRA and later refuse to refund the money.  Well, at least I got ½ back from DMV (another great example of state efficiency and low cost services), but to this day DMV still attempts to wrongfully bill me an extra $22 on each of my registered vehicles every year, after year, after. Can’t use the online registration feature.)

So 1991, California Fire Safe Minimum Roadway standards, SRA (State Responsibility Area) regulations (seven separate PUBLIC SAFETY CODES specifically created to protect life and property), County roadway development/grading regulations, and much more were violated for developer profit on just that one example of a single lane DEVELOPER CONVENIENCE ROAD ON A STEEP HILLSIDE!   A 10’ wide road that diagonally divided my friends’ rectangular lot making it useless for the intended purpose of residence construction!  So much for property value resale! Just like theft in my mind as the county and state stood by as PUBLIC SAFETY REGULATIONS EXTABLISHED 13 YEARS EARLIER WERE INTENTIONALLY IGNORED! Just so the owner of LAKE DON PEDRO REALTY and the DEERWOOD CORPORATION could have cheap, easy access to their properties with gorgeous views of the high Sierras and Yosemite National Park to sell to someone else.  All those carefully designed and existing laws and regulations specifically meant to protect lives and property ignored for increased profit. 

My geriatric, innocent, and severely victimized friends, during the very end of their lives, were needlessly tortured through a legal system which placed private convenience profit above justice while simultaneously ignoring the entire public safety aspect of why the CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE EVEN PASSED SRA FIRE SAFE REGULATIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE1!      

Can’t do this anymore right now, maybe later. MBTYAY, Lew

DID THE BOOK BY GOVERNOR NEWSOM INSPIRE CSDA BOARD DIRECTOR PETER KAMPA TO FABRICATE A PLACE OF USE MAP FOR MERCED RIVER WATER?

Let’s try to “unpack” that interesting question:   

Was CSDA (CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT ASSOCIATION) 20 year board director, Peter Kampa, inspired by Governor Newsom’s 2013 book – [“CITIZENVILLE: How to Take the Town Square Digital and Reinvent Government”], in regards to Kampa’s management activities with the Lake Don Pedro Community Services District between the years 2014-2019?

Did Kampa correctly, or wrongfully, utilize information from that book in his CLEAR ATTEMPT to permanently continue the unethical exploitation of thousands of customers in a California Special District?

NOTE: I HAVE NOT READ THE GOVERNOR’S BOOK!  Actually just learned of it this morning and ordered a paperback version on Amazon, I have, however, read some comments by others who have read the book.  (below)   

Using social media to change society and break government grid-lock

Using social media and technology to modernize local government

Future of digital democracy

Citizen engagement and the next political order

Encourages citizen involvement rather than waiting for government to solve problems.

Problems to be solved by  popular opinion

Ordinary peoples’ voices are being drowned out by special interests

Newsom argues that we can end a lot of the Washington political gridlock if Government were to open up its data troves and allow other (more motivated) parties invent their own solutions.”

“He (Newsom) shows how the government has so much data that they don’t know what they really have or what to do with it.  So others have discovered what to do with it and benefited many people.  And it didn’t cost the government one cent.” 

I found the above/below two comments particularly interesting and perhaps applicable to our Lake Don Pedro CSD in the following respects:

1. Open government data to more motivated parties to invent their own solutions – Kampa was obviously motivated to complete the LAFCO ANNEXED PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS he  {wrongfully} orchestrated into the LDPCSD between the years 1994-1997.  He is certainly inventive when it comes to truthful fact. He returned to the LDPCSD in 2014 to create an ALTERNATE SOURCE OF WATER through development of extremely expensive GROUNDWATER WELLS with government grants. {Which includes misrepresentation of facts in application, and misappropriation of funds for actual purpose of expanding water services and license compliance for violations}.   Yup, that groundwater was (and still is) being used for a water license compliance purpose and remedy for intentional violations by replacing all Merced River water illegally leaving the subdivision approved Place of Use.  This new publicly funded groundwater production was also secretly intended to facilitate further development outside the license POU for many other LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES, including a 900 acre proposed subdivision which was apparently concealed from the public for over 20 years (if it was legally annexed in 1995 which I seriously doubt based on the available evidence since the County of Mariposa has REFUSED FURTHER PUBLIC ACCESS TO THEIR LAFCO ANNEXATION RECORDS) , HOW THAT NEW GROUNDWATER PRODUCTION IS BEING USED IS A FAR CRY FROM ITS INTENDED PURPOSE OF ASSISTING EXISTING CUSTOMERS DURING EXTENDED EMERGENCY DROUGHT!   
2. Government is unaware of exactly what data they have – Since government is unaware of what it actually possessed, all Pete Kampa had to do was quietly “slip in” or “Plant”, the DISINFORMATION HE REQUIRED FOR HIS WATER EXPANSION PLANS somewhere in the state system.  Once residing there, he could then later reference that particular information as being a legitimate record of that government entity and continue utilizing it in support of his decades old “foothill water scam”.  (Can you imagine how many private individuals/companies and government officials have signed off on this PUBLIC DECEPTION AND ABUSE OF GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY in the attempt to increase revenue streams for their respective, and benefiting, counties?)    Apparently, the DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES was the data repository chosen for Kampa’s FAKE POU MAP IMPLANTATION.  (Imagine what else has been “planted” by this well known CSDA “mover and shaker” in the last 20 years?)  Obviously there are many other government and private entities working within the state water industry which will continue to use and pass on this “BAD INFORMATION”.  We know from the initial SWRCB investigation …..(which was EXCELLENT WHEN INITIATED but when the primary investigator was curiously transferred to another division, apparent operatives for Kampa took over and have attempted multiple times to close the investigation based only on THE FURTHER FALSE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY KAMPA.   Despite requests to both the state and LDPCSD – critical information as to this continuing “digital map deception” has been denied for public review.  Ie, using media format that cannot be viewed in answer to REQUESTS FOR PUBLIC INFORMATION – rather like a secret code between Kampa and the investigator!) ….. that the NOTICE OF VIOLATION was based on a DIGITAL SHAPE FILE MAP from back in 1993 which “somehow” ended up in DWR as the OFFICIAL POU FOR WL11395, which as we all should know by now, certainly is not. But how did it get there? Who has used that information since and for what purposes?

We’ve heard KAMPA’s own words many times – “from the files of others”, “not my work, others work”, “official files of others”, etc.. all in that failing effort to appear and sound as though Pete Kampa had nothing to do with the implantation disinformation for his own purposes.  

Perhaps after reading the book I’ll have some other thoughts, although as written above, I seriously doubt there will be any examples or instruction by the California Governor on how to commit a criminal conspiracy and falsify government records to achieve victories over the traditional stalling gridlock of government.   Decisions like that are left to highly motivated and unethical followers in other positions of public trust.

My best to you and yours, Lew

My Friday, September 20, 2019 response to this polite refusal and offer of worthless information (just like the LDPCSD and Public Information Requests, yeah? Lol):

Dear Kurtis, or rather, Joni; first of all, yes unreported apparent organized criminal conspiracies by government officials to defraud a large group of innocent citizen consumers in a CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT can get rather complex.  It is almost as though the perpetrators don’t want to get caught, exposed, or punished for their intentional wrongdoings.  Imagine that.   “My complaint”?  Technically yes, but a serious problem for every California citizen. I never asked for any legal representation or for you to debate laws and bylaws…… only to publicly report verified undisputed fact.    Sorry but you folks just joined the many others who talk about consumer protections and positive activism for change yet simply refuse to become involved even when correction might only require minimal research and honest reporting for the public’s benefit –  AS THEY ARE THE ONES TO MAKE NECESSARY CHANGE DUE TO GOVERNMENT FAILURE TO CORRECT ITSELF.  Most of the information is already available and easy to confirm yet your failure (refusal) to report the truth only assists in permitting such outrageous activities in our once great state to continue unchecked.   Seriously, a decades old foothill water scam in a drought prone California Special District that was orchestrated by one of the most influential CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT ASSOCIATION BOARD DIRECTORS in the last 20 years?  And you claim to be investigators working for consumers and righting wrongs?  Oh please.  Pursuing “low hanging fruit” for ratings is disingenuous.  For your information, since even your limited background inquiry for the last few weeks is also incorrect, the Stanislaus County Grand Jury has nothing to do with this matter and is just one more variable as to how this continuing corruption and fraud is confused and facilitated — through a zip code representing areas in the three different counties of Stanislaus, Tuolumne and Mariposa!  Did you know tens of thousands of dollars are likely AND WRONGFULLY collected by the DMV every year in this area due to INCORRECTLY CHARGING MARIPOSA RESIDENTS FOR STANISLAUS REQUIRED SMOG CHECKS FOR REGISTRATION!  All this started in 2013 with a new DMV DEPARTMENT HEAD (recently replaced) yet corrections (despite complaints at every registration period) cannot be made.  Humm, maybe it is just “pay back harassment” by some DEEP STATE ACTIVIST for those who speak up against wrongful government activities?  I cannot register my vehicles online and must use USPS mail to a specific address just to obtain registration tags.  When I finally received only ½ of my excess payments to the DMV I later received a CUSTOMER SURVEY that was already filled out with the highest positive remarks available!  Lol   I often get jury summons from Stanislaus despite years of correcting telephone calls that never fix the problem.  Then there’s the added insurance difficulties.   Heck, even the STATE WATER BOARD HAS INCORRECTLY LISTED STANISLAUS AND SUTTER COUNTIES AS THE VIOLATION LOCATIONS ON THEIR WATER RIGHT VIOLATIONS WEBPAGE INSTEAD OF TUOLUMNE AND MARIPOASA where that incorrect information has remained for over year despite complaints as to the inaccuracy!)  Our state information system is a mess! And this refusal of yours missed a perfect opportunity of illustrating one of the ways this BAD INFORMATION GETS INTO THE DATA STREAM….INTENTIONALLY TO CONCEAL CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR!   Thanks for the suggestion but I have already appeared before the Mariposa Grand Jury in the past which is incapable of correcting this continuing criminal conspiracy to defraud thousands of Merced River Water Entitled Customers of the Lake Don Pedro subdivision.  Wonder if that inability (refusal) to correct the matter could be related to these two counties apparently setting up, and permitting, the eventual hi-jacking of our surface water treatment plant in order to provide a SPECIAL BENEFIT GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION SERVICE to their many highly suspicious LAFCO ANNEXATIONS INTO THE WATER DISTRICT outside the PLACE OF USE OF THE WATER LICENSE?  (Wow, I wonder, could that be why the County of Mariposa has closed access to  LAFCO ANNEXATION FILES and refuses PUBLIC REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION?)  

 Golly gee, could the two counties simply be refusing to investigate what they intentionally set up in August 1980 through a MASSIVE PUBLIC DECEPTION AS TO THE CLEAR WATER LICENSE RESTRICTIONS REGARDING SERVICE OUTSIDE THE SUBDIVISON?  Did these counties form the LAKE DON PEDRO CSD as an instrument to be used to redirect LICENSED WATER to various developments outside the POU without the financial obligation to the respective counties?  Not that you’re interested, but, how could a LAFCO commissioned 1987 in-depth Sphere of Influence study (for future district service expansion outside the license POU) omit acknowledgement of the CLEAR MERCED RIVER WATER RESTRICTIONS IN WL11395?   Yes SIR! A detailed LAFCO COMMISSIONED report CLEARLY ENCOURAGING WATER SERVICE FOR THOUSANDS OF ACRES OUTSIDE THE LICENSE POU yet it failed to even mention the fact the district could not legally provide that water under the license which resulted in forcing thousands of innocent property owners in the subdivision (MANDATORY LDPCSD CUSTOMERS DUE TO PROPERTY REGULATIONS) to quietly SUBSIDIZE A GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM DEDICATED TO SERVING WATER TO MANY SUSPICIOUS LAFCO ANNEXATIONS?  Does that not sound a bit SELF SERVING TO YOU?   Counties creating a SPECIAL DISTRICT to secretly serve their own development interests while passing the expenses on to entitled water users of the subdivision?  I did not believe you and your organization would do anything either (you have no idea how many such polite refusals to REPORT THE TRUTH AND ASSIST EXPLOITED LEGAL CITIZENS I have received through the years….but then again, maybe you do?  Perhaps your California media controlled industry has some sort of NONINTERVENTION PACT regarding matters which might be uncomplimentary to current DEMOCRATIC-PROGRESSIVE-SOCIALIST-LEFT government?) Who knows, but thought I’d try anyway based on what appeared to be a sincere effort of assistance to California consumers ON YOUR PART, but you didn’t even present this “refusal to report” yourself.   That’s essentially the entire problem: media refusing to investigate and report as to the truths and facts in California which are pulling us down every single day.  Citizens don’t know what’s going on because organizations like yours refuse to inform them.   Your carefully manufactured façade of diligent investigation and correction of wrongs is only a distraction from a far more serious reality.  Are you fearful that a LEGITIMATE HONEST INVESTIGATION AND NEWS REPORT WOULD CAST AN UNFAVORABLE LIGHT ON THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION?   This is another perfect example of why Our beloved California has sunk into chaos and disrepair so rapidly – everyone can see the unethical and illegal things going on yet every single government promoted public option for corrective change ….from the local sheriff/DA/Grand Jury all the way to the Governor and Department of Justice and Attorney General (who evidently has his own character and integrity issues in Washington DC with that substituted DNC server) is an ineffectual, frustrating waste of time….just as intended!   Such anti-American criminal enterprises orchestrated within and around government entities are not only tolerated, but actually encouraged and flourish due to a lack of legitimate enforcement and accountability of those responsible for citizen betrayal and treachery. {How can the public cry for change occur if the public is uninformed?}  FIY, I was not seeking any legal remedy from your organization – just a legitimate investigation and some publicity of the cold hard facts which you apparently already understand.  You just don’t want to become involved.   You are part of the problem – not the solution for California.  You and your organization should be ashamed for your refusal to report on something so patently wrong and damaging to our state and citizen consumers.   Thanks for the late notice and refusal to become advocates for justice.   Your acquiescence to such active discrimination and harm to thousands of innocent water entitled consumers in a drought prone area (during a state wide emergency multi-year drought no less); who have been victimized by their own SPECIAL DISTRICT – hi-jacked by special interest board directors who appointed a former rogue employee and current CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT ASSOCIATION BOARD DIRECTOR as our GM/Treasurer in 2014, is almost amusing if not so outrageously dangerous, counterproductive, and simply UNAMERICAN.   No worries though, be assured I won’t bother you again about this failed opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to “DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS”.

CONTINUED LDPCSD REFUSAL TO PROVIDE PUBLIC INFORMATION ALL MR WECs SHOULD HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW AND UNDERSTAND!

SURE WOULD HELP IN UNDERSTANDING WHY THE LDPCSD BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS AGAIN ATTEMPTING TO RAISE OUR RATES AND FEES WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY CONCEALING RELEVANT AND EXPLANATORY INFORMATION AS TO WHAT THIS BOARD AND OUR PREVIOUS GM/TREASURER, and his staff, HAD BEEN DOING SINCE OCTOBER 2014!

After again reading the same non-responsive information “they” provided last time, I sent the below email to the LDPCSD office this morning……

Syndie, thank you for the most recent and highly suspicious attempt to provide information I have been requesting since April 2019.  Unfortunately, this most recent Lake Don Pedro CSD response – September 19^th, 2019 – some five months past the original request (along with other failures to adequately and properly respond) cost me another $12 for  worthless repeated information I already possess.  In fact, you only provided the same identical material again.   In other words, yesterday’s response was also INCOMPLETE/NONRESPONSIVE FOR THE SPECIFIC INFORMATION I HAVE BEEN REQUESTING, thus, ANOTHER REFUSAL.  Not surprising, but extremely frustrating, is the fact what I am requesting is indeed the most important and relevant information forwarded to the SWRCB from the LDPCSD:   the SHAPEFILE MAP INFORMATION which our former GM/Treasurer Pete Kampa provided the California SWRCB, Division of Water Rights in answer to their February 2017 Notice of Water Right Violations.   

PLEASE REFER to the “HIGH IMORTANCE” CLASSIFICATION OF THE EMAIL PETE KAMPA SENT TO SWRCB OFFICIAL VICTOR VASQUEZ ON February 22, 2018 – THIS IS THE EMAIL CONTAINING THE INFORMATION I AM REQUESTING which either you and/or Kampa have repeatedly and EFFECTIVELY removed from the correspondence material furnished to the state.  KAMPA STATES IN HIS (again I paid for this incorrect assertion) MAY 2, 2019 EMAIL that his response attachments TO MY REQUEST FOR PUBLIC INFORMATION  “ARE THE TOTALITY OF THE RECORDS” which is obviously AN INCORRECT STATEMENT when you read his February 22, 2018 email,  which in the first sentence states:

“ATTACHED PLEASE FIND SHAPE FILES CONTAINING MAPS WHICH PROVIDES OVERLAYS OF ALL THE FOLLOWING:  the license POU, the LDPCSD boundaries, and all parcels served with water by the LDPCSD.”

Syndie, please read the above sentence again, THIS IS THE INFORMATION I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN SINCE APRIL…..THE ATTACHED MAPS KAMPA SENT TO THE SWRCB – which evidently completely MISREPRESENTED OUR DISTRICTS MOST IMPORTANT BOUNDARIES,  everything else you and/or Kampa have provided I already possess (and have paid for) which is absolutely worthless in regards to what is actually being sought and apparently refused.

SO again, I would appreciate paper copies of those attached maps (paper copies which are clearly available as documented in Kampa’s own offer to provide them if Mr. Vasquez so desired, ie, first sentence third paragraph, or the 15^th sentence down from the “Mr. Vasquez” in the email).   

CONTINUING INTENTIONAL REFUSAL TO PROVIDE PUBLIC INFORMATION.  Pete Kampa’s use of a media format to respond to an OFFICIAL VIOLATION NOTICE BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA that cannot be shared with the public (in multiple agenda packets) or provided when legally requested multiple times in Public Information Requests, certainly appears to be an INTENTIONAL REFUSAL TO PROVIDE THIS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PUBLIC INFORMATION.  

OFFICIAL DISTRICT CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE STATE.   The fact such material is official LDPCSD correspondence I would think it would reside in our official LDPCSD records yet the vast amount of delay time it takes a LONG EMPLOYEED DISTRICT OFFICE MANAGER / BOARD SECRETARY TO RESPOND, suggests this information may be in the SOLE POSSESSION OF OUR FORMER GM/TREASURER which certainly encourages the possibility that this official district information has been stolen from the district office, or in the alternative, never properly filed for accurate record retention.

“SECRET PRIVACY CODE” BETWEEN INVESTIGATOR AND RESPONSIBLE PARTY FOR THE VIOLATION. When you stop and think about this situation,  PETE KAMPA has essentially answered an OFFICIAL NOTICE OF WATER LICENSE VIOLATION BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA with much associated material which only attempts to conceal the fact that the primary and most important pieces of information (the attached shape file maps) have been provided in A CODE WHICH ONLY THE INVESTIGATOR AND THE ALLLEGED PERPETRATOR CAN UNDERSTAND.  (An investigator/perpetrator relationship which I believe encourages such concealment of relevant fact.

WAITED LONG ENOUGH FOR THIS PUBLIC INFORMATION AND SHOULD BE CREDITED FOR PAST NONRESPONSIVE PAYMENTS.  Please have paper copies of these maps created and furnished to me within the traditional 10 day period, and please apply the last $12 payment towards this bill, since the LDPCSD RESPONSE YESTERDAY was again clearly nonresponsive and only intended to further delay efforts in obtaining PUBLIC INFORMATION THAT ALL MERCED RIVER WATER ENTITLED CUSTOMERS OF THE LDP SUBDIVISION SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND AS IT IS CRITICAL AS TO UNDERSTANDING (among other issues) WHY THE LDPCSD IS CURRENTLY ATTEMPTING TO RAISE RATES AND FEES with another PROPOSITION 218 WHILE ACTIVELY IGNORING the primary reason why customers are charged more while consistently receiving less, with emphasis on honest and efficient district management and administration. 

Sincerely, Lew Richardson

PS:  I am specifically requesting paper copies of these SHAPE FILE MAPS but as you are well  aware with your advanced CSDA office managing and secretary training courses, an alternative and accepted production of the information might also consist of providing the appropriate viewing equipment in the LDPCSD office and a reasonable time for me to study and review the information might also be acceptable, as I could then make my own copies of the information if desired.  Unfortunately, l was never offered or provided this option either.  Such secret communications between an investigator and suspected perpetrator of the violation smacks of a conspiracy to actively deny customers relevant public information which should have been provided in a Brown Act conforming district agenda packet, or at the very least posted on the LDPCSD webpage as the digital information that it is. 

Wednesday, September 18th, 2019

The LPDCSD Administration Office has been closed on Wednesdays for many years in the effort to provide “staff” with more “uninterrupted time” since (apparently) customers calling the office to pay bills, request service assistance, district information, etc. disrupts the office schedule to the point that Wednesdays are simply closed to the public – all other days the office is closed after 1430 hours [2:30PM] for the same intended purpose of “catching up on district work” which reportedly accumulates during the other days of the week (due to public interruptions) thus slowing down optimum efficiency or something along those lines.

Therefore, the below traditional requested opportunity to purchase and pickup a $3.00 audio CD of the LDPCSD Monday September 16th, 2019 Board of Directors meeting won’t be available until sometime after this “office closed to public Wednesday”.

Someone joked to me that the cost should only be $1.50 considering there was only one action item on that bare bones agenda. lol

Don’t think that would fly, because after all, with all the CSDA related information Pete Kampa use to cram into those agendas to make them “appear extremely busy with important work”, charges for that “facade of actual work” would have cost much more than $3.00!

Why must an LDPCSD customer pay more for public information that should already be on our GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY AWARDED CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT WEBSITE? All of that and much, much more should already be posted on our CSDA affiliated website. Certificate of Excellence? lol Why do some special districts receive timely, accurate and FREE PUBLIC INFORMATION but in Lake Don Pedro customers must pay extra? (Yes, I see it…..legal MR WECS already pay much more for their water service than they should, why not just extend that philosophy and make LDPCSD customers pay more for ANYTHING district related?)

Gosh, wouldn’t you think an influential 20 year CSDA (California Special District Association) experienced/trained Board Member like Pete Kampa could have pulled some CSDA strings and insured our LDPCSD would have an up to date, properly functioning, and factually informative website for our customers? Golly Gee professor…. if a CSDA SUPER-STAR BOARD DIRECTOR LIKE PETE KAMPA CAN’T GET THE JOB DONE – PERHAPS THOSE WEBSITE OPTIONS OTHER SPECIAL DISTRICTS POSSESS AND ENJOY JUST CAN’T BE DONE IN LAKE DON PEDRO FOR SOME REASON?

REM? THE OLD MICKY MOUSE SONG? SING ALONG WITH ME FOR THE ANSWER TO THE ABOVE QUESTION:

COR – RUP – Teee IO N!

[MIC KEY MO US E]

I digress…..anyway, below is the most recent and, as of yet, unanswered request for the VERY BUSY “ONE ACTION ITEM AGENDA” FROM LAST MONDAY (of course there were other important matters to address as well ….approval of past Minutes (Consent Calendar) and having yet another CLOSED SESSION MEETING (where confidential information is not available to the public) for directors to discuss POTENTIAL DISTRICT LITIGATION with our attorney. But don’t fret MR WECS….surely we will be advised if such “POTENTIAL LITIGATION” materializes into a fine, penalty, or some other monetary demand required as a result of improper activities by district officials or their contracted employees.

Another worn out old song:

THEY PLAY, WE PAY!

TO: Syndie Marchesiello, LDPCSD Office Manager and Board Secretary

Tuesday, September 17, 2019 @ 0740hrs

“Please advise when the CD is ready and I will make arrangements for pickup and payment.  Incidentally, the Groveland CSD has a great example of how such public information can be posted on their website (as Peter Kampa previously agreed would be a good addition as to “transparency” for the LDPCSD rather than having customers once again pay for something that should be provided for free).  Lew Richardson

PS I still have not heard from the GM regarding my information request from last July regarding the additional materials Pete Kampa sent to the SWRCB in response to the second corrected response in regards to the NOTICE OF VIOLATION.“

???????????????

I wonder, considering how the LDPCSD does everything else …..

(such as…. concealing from the GENERAL PUBLIC, LEGAL CUSTOMERS and even SITTING DIRECTORS – an alleged 1995 Mariposa County LAFCO APPROVED ANNEXATION for a proposed 900 acre OUTSIDE MIDPOU residential subdivision across the street from the LDPCSD administration building which had been submitted and rejected multiple times through the decades – a subdivision IF LEGALLY APPROVED must be furnished our LIMITED AND VERY EXPENSIVE EMERGENCY DROUGHT GROUNDWATER developed with state and federal grant money intended for existing customers during a STATE WIDE EMERGENCY DROUGHT!)

(still wondering) ….. is there any potential danger our Board of Defectors, their new general manager (and in-training Board Treasurer) boasting a “classified past employment background” per Board President Danny Johnson, and their long time Office Manager/Board Secretary might realize the office, in fact their entire misdirected district operation, would “OPERATE MUCH MORE LIKE THEY DESIRE” if ALL CUSTOMER INTERRUPTIONS were eliminated completely?

Much easier for us MANDATORY CUSTOMERS TOO! Just continue writing larger checks, charging greater amounts on plastic credit cards, but most importantly, simply approve any district proposed PROPOSITION 218 rate and fee increase without bothersome questions as to why it is necessary. After all, the board has just spent another $30,000 in public funds in hopes of encouraging us to willfully pay more without research as to why. Gosh, should we just co-operate and financially surrender? Perhaps “blank checks” written to the LDPCSD that they could fill in later as required?

After all, won’t everything run much better for those currently in control of our district when our money is the only thing with which they must deal? (Or was that “steal”? I forget sometimes.) lol

Cheer up MR WECS, I believe one heck of a POSITIVE POLITICAL STORM is brewing for the 2020 elections……tax and fee paying Californians are sick of such public corruption and absolute waste of public funds and resources!

Monday, Sept 16, 2019

You know, there is a possible explanation as to why the State of California and its law enforcement departments and agencies do not aggressively prosecute those who so clearly and intentionally violate  water license restrictions and/or continue fabricating government documents regarding service areas in order to wrongfully provide water to those not entitled under the law. 

Think about the possibility that people like Pete Kampa are doing exactly what the SOCIALIST LEFT DEMOCRATS DESIRE – he is effectively redistributing wealth for those NOT ENTITLED.  (Water is certainly wealth, especially in a drought prone area with relatively cheap foothill land.  Simple formula for success and wealth:  LOW COST DRY DROUGHT LAND +  A QUALITY WATER SUPPLY = MASSIVE REAL ESTATE PROFITS!

All accomplished with water that was legally allocated to property owners who have paid dearly for that water service in numerous ways for decades – besides just the initial price tag on the actual RESIDENTIAL LOT IN THE APPROVED SUBDIVISION.  Primarily these subdivision owners pay for that right to water thanks to the COVENANTS, CODES and RESTRICTIONS (CC&Rs) on their property which run with title for perpetuity – or until the property owners association is dissolved, which is highly unlikely considering the revenue it generates for a vast number of individuals and companies involved with CID (Common Interest Development) industry – not to mention the lawyers and courts!

CC&Rs make predicting a future water demand for a large area much easier, primarily by curtailing further subdivision of those lands.   (Imagine a one acre residential lot being divided into quarters, therefore, three more homes (and associated water use for landscaping and such)  = 4 times the water consumed other than the original one residence.  Now multiply that by the thousands of subdivision properties.)  These LAFCO ANNEXATIONS outside the PLACE OF USE FOR MERCED RIVER WATER have no such CC&Rs on their land and they can therefore consume water at a much greater rate than LEGALLY CONTROLLED DEVELOPMENT IN A CID SUBDIVISION.  They can use water in ways prohibited in the subdivision – especially during emergency drought conditions when subdivision owners could be hit with a heavy fine for violating restrictions.

The fact an outside PLACE OF USE commercial cattle rancher (originally denied water service decades ago by the district), who has been utilizing treated chlorinated water for a “for profit cattle business” (with water clearly intended for human consumption in the approved subdivision) can also serve on the LDPCSD board of directors for so many years (thanks to LAFCO GERRYMANDERING where non stakeholders of LAFCO ANNEXED LAND can participate in director elections even when not receiving water or paying a thin dime to the district), also speaks quite clearly as to this unethical water scam MR WECS (Merced River Water Entitled Customers) of the subdivision, have been forced to financially support for decades.  Subdivision property owners are MANDATORY LDPCSD CUSTOMERS due to CC&Rs!   SO, MR WECS became the designated DEEP POCKET for SUBSIDIZED LAFCO ANNEXATION WATER SERVICE thanks to the criminal antics of  DEEP STATE ACTIVISTS?

So, consider.    Perhaps the State of California actually “boxed itself in” concerning further desired development” with all the laws, regulations, EPA conditions, etc. it creates, passes, and imposes on citizens?   The “state” (rather individuals within state government representing/using state authority) to its dismay finds itself in the same position as the citizens it OVER REGULATES AND CONTROLS – SIMPLY STUCK and CONSTRAINED by its own existing laws, regulations, EPA conditions, etc..  that it legislated and passed.  

Ahhhh, but there is a BIG DIFFERENCE –  UNLIKE THE AVERAGE CITIZEN who must abide by these government regulations or face very severe penalties, state employees/officials have another “secret viable option” : THEY JUST PLAIN CHEAT!   “THE DEEP STATE” accepted program for “needed change”.  (These individuals place their own personal, political, business beliefs over that of the citizens they ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SERVING ACCORDING TO EXISTING LAW.)

These people violate their own rules while patting each other on the back and whispering they do it “FOR THE GOOD OF THE PUBLIC” (or whatever excuse is convenient, acceptable and helps take the sting out of being recognized as just a common law violating criminal).  You see, their “good intentions” transform clear criminal activities into palatable and acceptable “activism for good”. 

They intentionally “short-circuit” the legal process by refusing to perform their assigned duties, and become a CORRUPTED PROCESS FOR THEIR DESIRED CHANGE from within an otherwise legitimate government entity.  But they cannot do this alone.  Enter characters like PETER KAMPA and his long time professional lobbyist organization the CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICTS ASSOCIATION (CSDA) to quietly move into stubborn “development stalled area” and (in Lake Don Pedro’s case) reconfigure an existing SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT (specifically constructed for the subdivision) into an EXPENSIVE GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION FACILITY CATERING TO LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES (suspiciously brought into district boundaries) WHICH SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PERMITTED ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN ESTABLISHED LAFCO REGULATIONS! (LAFCO violating its own rules in order to serve water to properties it annexed? Hum, sounds rather self-serving, yeah?)

So, could this “CALIFORNIA ACCEPTED DEEP STATE ACTIVITY” explain why the folks

DOWN IN SACRAMENTO

(lol)

don’t give a squat about an ACTIVE CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO VIOLATE STATE WATER LAW THAT HAS CONTINUED AND FESTERED FOR DECADES BRINGING NOTHING BUT MISERY TO COUNTLESS PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION?

QUESTIONS AS TO “WHAT TYPE” OF TRANSPARENCY?

So very sad how public funded deceptions of fact can be “planted” within legitimate government data repositories for later use in the continued distortion of history to the benefit of “special interest” others. As taxpaying citizens we deserve much better than this.  What a nightmare of tangled falsehoods with fabricated written documents, drawings, maps, dishonored Oaths of Office, etc., all used to convey false information and encourage detrimental reliance upon what appears at first blush to be reasonable and authentic, yet turnout to be just another in a long line of fake LDPCSD documents.  Forgeries that blur reality to only permit more wrongdoing while pursing the special interests of land development and real estate.   Just throw MR WECS (Merced River Water Entitled Customers) under the bus because dry, drought prone foothill land + a dependable supply of quality water  =  BIG PROFIT!   Consider, a criminal conspiracy spanning decades to violate known water right restrictions while simultaneously subjecting thousands of innocent property owners in the LDP subdivision (and MANDATORY CUSTOMERS of the Lake Don Pedro CSD) to subsidize an extremely expensive groundwater substitution program for owners of LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES INTO THE DISTRICT which our CSD had no legal duty or moral obligation to provide service.   Apparently LAFCOs formed the district to be the “deep pocket” and “water source” for rural county land development without their responsibility for providing the “alternate source water” for these developments on OUTSIDE MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT PLACE OF USE LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES.   LAFCO FORMED THE CSD, BUT THEN STARTED DUMPING ANNEXATION AFTER ANNEXATION ON A DISTRICT THAT COULD NOT LEGALLY SUPPLY THE WATER OUTSIDE THE SUBDIVISION THUS FORCING ALL CUSTOMERS (99% legal MR WECS) TO EVENTUALLY PAY FOR EXPENSIVE GROUNDWATER WELLS  FOR THE  “LEGAL REMEDY” OF REPLACING ALL THE MERCED RIVER WATER ILLEGALLY LEAVING THE ENTITLED RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION!  WE PAY FOR THE CONTINUED THEFT!    

 Sorry, but I believe all those who were knowingly involved with such special district exploitation, mismanagement, continued fraud, and a host of other unethical practices …

[especially the falsification of records and apparently permitting such to be used to obtain state and federal grant money INTENDED for EMERGENCY DROUGHT RELIEF BUT ACTUALLY MISAPPROPRIATED TO DEVELOP a massive “alternate water source”  FOR MANDATORY WATER LICENSE COMPLIANCE REPORTING DUE TO THE MANY PAST INTENTIONAL USE VIOLATIONS OUTSIDE THE CLEAR POU RESTRICTIONS OF THE WATER LICENSE!  – JUST THINK…..NOW Mariposa County is pressuring the LDPCSD to take control and operation of their NIGHTMARE OF AN OUTSIDE MIDPOU CONSTRUCTED WASTE WATER PLANT WHICH MUST ALSO FUNCTION ON A GROUNDWATER SUPPLY PRIMARILY PAID FOR BY MR WECS WHO UTILIZE THEIR OWN ON-SITE SEPTIC DISPOSAL SYSTEMS AND ARE NOT TIED INTO THE ONE AROUND THE GOLF COURSE. 

—  should all be prosecuted, but most importantly, prohibited from any future involvement with public employment or community services.    YUP!  This would be especially appropriate for the primary perpetrator who is a 20 year experienced board member with the California Special District Association who should be held to a higher standard of conduct and certainly prosecuted with the same vigor in which he successfully polluted the government information stream for local, State and Federal entities with known false information.   The “rippling sociological effects” of such criminal conduct is difficult to imagine.  Can you imagine the number of people that purchased land with the misrepresented understanding water would be available from the LDPCSD?  Such property sales are simply wrong but the new owner’s argument is with the person who sold the property and their own failure to exercise due diligence in researching the facts prior to purchase.  Yup, unfair all the way around when the rules are intentionally violated for the private profit and/or convenience of those with “influence” in local matters. 

Such is life in the “new normal” “Deep State” California?

My best to you and yours, Lew

ONLY 1 AGENDA ACTION ITEM: Another real estate request for more OMIDPOU* groundwater substituted water service? (oh yeah, and 2 of our 4 groundwater wells are currently offline)

Yesterday reminded me to follow up on a request for public information that has been ignored by the LDPCSD for some reason.

Tuesday, September 10th, 2019 – Below request sent this morning.

TO: Board Secretary/Office Manager Syndie Marchesiello and GM Patrick McGowen:

RE: Continuing request for information former GM KAMPA provided the SWRCB in response to WATER RIGHT NOTICE OF VIOLATION

“I was advised my (multiple) requests have now been referred to GM McGowan since Pete Kampa resigned his position, however, the ten day response period since the last request (August 19^th) has again passed.  I am confused why this is such a difficult public information request to provide.  Surely the LDPCSD is aware of the information Mr. Kampa provided the SWRCB in response to the NOTICE OF VIOLATION issued September 28, 2016.   I would appreciate “hard copies” of this information since the digital files Pete Kampa forwarded to me in the initial response months ago were worthless as they could not be opened and viewed (“trial version” of the software did not work and I should not be forced to purchase new software – as already reported in the previous “follow up request”).   I would appreciate a response concerning this matter as I believe I have been quite patient with these continued delays in providing this important public information.  Information which certainly appears to have had a serious (and continuing) detrimental effect upon our district and the thousands of legal Merced River Water using customers of the subdivision who have been forced (as MANDATORY CUSTOMERS OF THE LDPCSD DUE TO PROPERTY CCRs) to SUBSIDIZE A GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM for LAFCO ANNEXATIONS outside the PLACE OF USE of water license 11395.  (Annexations which PETE KAMPA clearly set up over 20 years ago when beginning his infamous water career here in Lake Don Pedro between the years 1994-1997.)    Surely the district can appreciate such activity (forced subsidies for LAFCO ANNEXATIONS) has completely negated the purpose and characteristics of a CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT.   (The fact former GM  PETE KAMPA has been a board director with the CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICTS ASSOCIATION (CSDA) for the last 20 years is yet another curious aspect to the activities taking place between 2014-2019 while “voice of the district” as Board President Danny Johnson proclaimed him years ago.  That “voice” may now have been replaced, however, the past activities of Pete Kampa still resonate throughout district operations, negatively affect the water entitled district customers,  and are still subject to public review.   Legal rate paying customers deserve to know exactly what information was forwarded to the State of California Water Rights Division by our then district GM since it is quite clear state investigators STILL DO NOT FULLY COMPREHEND THE FACTS of the matter and have attempted three times now to close that investigation with patently false information.   Did that incorrect information originate from the LDPCSD through Pete Kampa?  Did officials at the SWRCB Water Rights Division insert the information?  Perhaps a combination of the two?   The public’s right to know is especially important now since the district is clearly proceeding towards implementation of another Proposition 218 to raise rates and fees due to a claimed lack of adequate operating funds.   Is the district’s current refusal to provide this public information related to the current plan of raising rates and fees again on the thousands of innocent, yet continually victimized, legal Merced River Water consuming customers of the subdivision?   Seems to me such action would only compound the seriousness of the situation and draw more attention and perhaps even force new avenues for the acquisition of public information that could, and should, be easily provided.     Sincerely,  Lew Richardson”

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY A.J.! Looking forward to meeting you!

Yes indeed, I’m still here! lol

On to this post. Recently found some old meeting recordings of mine. Strange how this November 10th, 2014 LDPCSD Board meeting (clip of audio below) is not on the LDPCSD website considering PETER KAMPA was just hired only the month before and given complete control of our former SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. Interesting yeah?

So here is our Lake Don Pedro Community Services District (LDPCSD), a California Special District incidentally, being completely controlled by a former rogue employee from 20 years earlier who was unethically brought back into the LDPCSD through a CLOSED GM RECRUITMENT PROCESS to insure only PETER KAMPA could be the replacement General Manager. So what does this 20 year CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT ASSOCIATION (CSDA) professional Board Director do when totally in control of a SPECIAL DISTRICT? Anything he wanted including selling out every single legitimate water customer of our district along with the concept and purpose of a California Special District! What an example.

(Come to think of it, even the meeting where KAMPA was appointed “supreme commander of the district” in October 2014 is missing from the LDPCSD website as well.)

Shoot! That reminds me, still haven’t heard a response from Kampa’s replacement GM about my request for public information regarding Kampa’s communications with the SWRCB and how terribly confused the WATER RIGHTS DIVISION is regarding WL11395 and the legal PLACE OF USE (POU) for Merced River water in Lake Don Pedro.

Yup, still no information on that request. Almost like someone is hiding something, yeah? So many things to do….lol

(RECALL: When in OCT 2014 Kampa was appointed GM? and eventually Treasurer with complete access to over one million in cash obtained through the last successful PROP 218 to raise our water rates and fees—- look what became of that cash – Kampa’s pocket book for district expansion for his past annexation interests with groundwater wells! BUSTED!

Yet now they want to raise rates and fees again with the promise of doing what they should have done the first time? Where’s the promise they will not redirect this next rate increase in the same way for other special interests? What happened to the service to the MERCED RIVER WATER ENTITLED CUSTOMERS of the LDP subdivision?

Recall how Kampa became GM through acceptance of a management contract that was already prepared and awaiting signature due to confidential board information being passed on to Kampa in advance by his long time friend, and outside POU commercial cattle rancher, Director Emery Ross.

REM? The meeting where I had to leave due to being sick to my stomach because our board would even consider such an irresponsible appointment ON THE SPOT WITHOUT ANY REASONABLE RESEARCH OR INVESTIGATION AS TO KAMPA’S PRIOR EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE WITH THE LDPCSD? Performance which clearly indicated he was a ROGUE EMPLOYEE PURSUING HIS OWN PRIVATE AND BUSINESS INTERESTS WITH PUBLIC AUTHORITY AND FUNDS aka, without board direction or approval. Kampa was only finishing up on what he started 20 years ago with his special interest annexations into our district.)

The little excerpt below (the next meeting after Kampa’s appointment) clearly indicates (in Kampa’s OWN WORDS) that DESPITE HIS YEARS OF PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH WATER LICENSE 11395, and the related decades of POU (PLACE OF USE) TUMULTUOUS LEGAL ISSUES RIGHT HERE IN LAKE DON PEDRO, PETE KAMPA NEVER ONCE CONSIDERED THE LEGAL PLACE OF USE FOR MERCED RIVER WATER WHEN SETTING UP FUNDING FOR HIS PLAN TO EXPAND EXPENSIVE GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION TO LAFCO ANNEXATIONS WITH GOVERNMENT GRANTS…. WHICH WERE ALSO APPARENTLY APPLIED FOR AND OBTAINED THROUGH FURNISHING FALSE INFORMATION AS TO OUR ACTUAL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES and SERVICES. The infamous KAMPA FAKE WL11395 POU MAP! And what have we discovered since then? Kampa was aware of even further outside POU properties that were NEVER REPORTED FOR LICENSE COMPLIANCE purposes.

An absolute betrayal of the 99% of legal customers of the LDPCSD. There’s more too (that I just found- or rather rediscovered while organizing information…. damn good thing I had my own personal recordings of these meetings) which I’ll try to post soon – but I have much on my plate right now (more on later too). Anyway, hope all is well with you folks and as always, my best to you and yours, Lew

Damn good question. 

Here’s another:

IS IT WORTH YEARS OF HARDSHIP, FRUSTRATION, AND PAIN TO PURSUE WHAT IS ETHICALLY, MORALLY, AND LEGALLY CORRECT DESPITE THE STATUS QUO OF WELL DEFENDED CORRUPTION?

Absolutely.

THANKS FRANK

Phew.  Well, there goes another 15 minutes of your life down the tubes, eh?   Lol (Ref last “Give Us” video-“almost music” presentation )  [GOOD NEWS EVERYONE (Farnsworth! lol) – only added 20 seconds or so to the overall video time by chopping some of the clouds out……BAD NEWS….realized (too late) and got my COMMUNITY confused with my COMMON!  lol    COMMON INTEREST DEVELOPMENT…..NOT COMMUNITY INTEREST DEVELOPMENT.  Oh well, stuff happens.

Really hate to rush projects like that but there are always other legitimate competing interests at play screaming for adequate time as well.  So WWW?  (So Where Were We) Need to get back to that someday, thought it a good idea at the time (OOPS!)   ….humm, maybe this should be a returning quick blah blah blah?)

Continuation of the GIVE US SONG (GUS)?   Yes, not sure if this will work – not so much of a resurrection of a past project. but more like incremental completions or fine tunings time did not permit (regular tuning of  the guitar might help as well because I’ll put a project away for a while then pick up later without tuning – bad habit since the differing temperatures in the house change everything. – we’ll just file that with other excuses, shall we? lol)

Anyway, here’s the first major addendum to this little experiment:  Recall how in the original the Tarantula called for “more”?  Well, here’s the part I was working on at the time but could not finish for posting.  No biggie really, just one more missing tooth from the smile I was attempting to encourage in your mind/face.

THANK YOU FRANK ZAPPA

Boy.  No doubt I’m going to step into it again because without an extremely carefully prepared detailed explanation, chances of miscommunication are probably quite high, but here it is never-the-less.

Generally I believe we have all been influenced by others (and environments) in profound ways, both good and bad, that have irrevocably changed or influenced our lives in some fashion.   Everything from fairly insignificant stuff that assists in developing/defining our individual tastes for say food, art, music, etc. to major life changing events that are exceptionally life altering, for one reason or another in respect to what is considered “normal” (whatever the heck that is! lol).

WHOA!  Even I can see arguments popping up all over the above paragraph, but again, this little journey has been about MY EXPRESSION of what I believe, think, feel, etc., not what is, or might be, appropriate for anyone else.   (ie, experience may only provide the stimulus for us to positively make required changes in our lives (good or bad) that we believe beneficial or desirable at the time.

Obviously, I express myself publicly primarily through this website.   A WEB Log or blog.   And just like people, there are many different types of “blogging” and variations of expressive communication, presentation styles, but they generally orbit around some centralized theme, interest, purpose, concept, etc.

Think of lakedonpedro.org as only a glimpse into my grey matter about what I personally believe or think about any particular subject I thought worthy of my “blah blah blah blogging” at the time.   Certainly not the final word on ANYTHING…..except what I thought at the moment I chose to publish the material – heck, my strongly held opinion in these Lake Don Pedro CSD matters could dramatically change in the beat of a heart with factual evidence strong enough to encourage a different perspective and conclusion.  Listening to other perspectives or opinions is always useful in formulating an opinion about something.   That is what is so curious about this OUTSIDE PLACE OF USE CONTROVERSY – WHERE ARE THE DEFENDERS OF THIS UNETHICAL AND LIKELY ILLEGAL LDPCSD UNWRITTEN POLICY SPANNING DECADES?

However, even after years of searching for this different “interpretation of known facts” (and requesting public information in hopes of explaining this continuing nightmare) I am still, unfortunately, of the opinion the LDPCSD was a sham of an organization specifically formed to surreptitiously get “local hooks into WL11395” for distribution of MERCED RIVER WATER anywhere THE SPECIAL LAND DEVELOPMENT INTERESTS WANTED FOR THEIR OUTSIDE WATER LICENSE POU (Place of Use) DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

IMAGINE only 88 people voting yes encumbered thousands of property owners within the subdivision.

88 votes.

Yes, I know, sounds terribly sinister and conspiratorial, but seriously, hasn’t 40 years of community turmoil been enough?   The Lake Don Pedro subdivision has suffered the most – it’s most precious natural resource AND GREATEST PROPERTY SELLING POINT has been incrementally “liberated” from the legal PLACE OF USE (POU) and provided to property owners OUTSIDE THE SUBDIVISION who have a variety of proposed uses.  Uses which may be prohibited in the very subdivision from which they intend to receive water for their project because of subdivision CC&Rs – but hey!  properties outside that CID POA subdivision don’t have CC&Rs!.   Imagine, supplying water to an adjacent proposed subdivision which claims to be much better than the “failing Lake Don Pedro subdivision” whose thousands of owners have been quietly financing (subsidizing) such special interest groundwater substitution water service for all properties outside the legal POU subdivision for decades, and now, current LDPCSD leadership/management intend to expand this special benefit water service even further!

Where was the LDPOA (Lake Don Pedro Owners Association) VOICE in defending this most valuable property asset and required development resource?   Ahhhh, some of the same people expanding water service outside the subdivision back then were involved in the POA.  wow.  Imagine that.   Conflict of interest regulations only develop after negative ramifications experienced in the past right?  Things are different now.  Not quite as blatant but I digress.

As said before, who can seriously blame a property owner who simply wanted water to develop their foothill dream?

If water service was provided outside the legal boundary of the operating water license restrictions, seems to me it was a violation committed by those charged with the duty of legally operating the water company and hooking up the meter and providing the service and billing.   It was the district committing the wrong, not the consumer asking for water (this assumes of course there was no illegal under the table arrangements made by the consumer/customer such as bribes, pay-offs, land-real estate deals, etc. used as consideration for the illegal service – because then the consumer would be just as guilty of wrongdoing.  ie, bribing public officials to  provide services known to be prohibited by law.

Yup, baring criminal activity on their part, it would be unreasonable to blame a property owner for just asking if water service was available and receiving such.    For some reason I think of blaming a child for having bad teeth when the parent/guardian routinely provides too much candy.    But I digress.

WWW?  Oh yeah, can’t blame a property owner wanting to live in these beautiful foothills…..

I certainly do not.  But…….STOP!  What sort of dream was that exactly because THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS.

Dream of buying or building a home and living in these beautiful western Sierra Nevada foothills?   If that is the goal – “GOOD NEWS EVERYONE” (as Professor Farnsworth says on the animated television program FUTURAMA.   SIDE NOTE:  one episode of Futurama dealt with one of Farnsworth’s crazy projects dealing with time travel that was only waiting for sufficient funding through (are you ready?) DUMP TRUCK LOADS OF FLAMING GRANT MONEY – lol),…. anyway,

…..so if living in the foothills is the goal – the LAKE DON PEDRO SUBDIVISION has had several hundred parcels to chose from in both TUOLUMNE COUNTY and MARIPOSA COUNTY for decades— ready for more “GOOD NEWS EVERYONE”?—- EVERY SINGLE PROPERTY IN THAT SUBDIVISION (in this highly drought prone region) IS ENTITLED TO QUALITY MERCED RIVER WATER straight from Yosemite National Park which is then impounded behind Merced Irrigation District Exchequer Dam forming Lake McClure – where it is then pumped, treated, stored and distributed to subdivision property owners (vacant parcel owners only have to ask for service connection and it MUST BE PROVIDED!)

Ahhhh, but here lies the problem……  some of those having dreams of living in this area SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED THE SUBDIVISION THAT WAS ENTITLED TO THE WATER preferring to purchase land outside a common interest development TO AVOID THAT WHOLE OTHER LAYER OF GOVERNMENT IN THE FORM OF A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION AND CCRS.

Some land “developers”, set on making money a different way, do not want Lake Don Pedro subdivision property with quality water (and originally intended subdivision infrastructure), but rather, just the subdivision quality water on their property (far majority with additional infrastructure requirements) so they can build whatever they want without the much more restrictive subdivision CC&Rs.  

OBVIOUSLY OUTSIDE THE LEGAL SUBDIVISION MEANS it is – ILLEGAL to provide Merced River Water!   AND THEY KNEW THIS MANY YEARS BEFORE THE LAKE DON PEDRO COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT WAS FORMED IN AUGUST OF 1980!

Thus the continuing LDPCSD SPECIAL BENEFIT program to pump groundwater (with extremely expensive and unreliable groundwater wells paid for by subdivision entitled water users) to the treatment plant, remove the arsenic and other contaminants, blend it with the quality Merced River water, and sell and pipe it outside the subdivision to the land owners in other areas for their water service.  Yup, all that extra equipment, processing, monitoring, reporting, etc.  paid for by MR WECs who does not require groundwater replacement for their water service within the residential subdivision. (ok…ready for large print?  Not yelling, just don’t want you to miss it.  lol)

PLUS! 

The thousands of MR WECs (now and for perpetuity) must consume a “BLENDED WATER PRODUCT” specifically created so that water could be distributed OUTSIDE THEIR INTENDED SUBDIVISION!

(The state water board evidently permits this under the theory of  “GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION” although I have not  read where such substitution of groundwater for surface water (lake) is permitted for the specific purpose of  CIRCUMVENTING CLEAR WATER RESTRICTIONS in the operative license.   Seems to me (and I am nobody but a victim customer here too) for such a SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM to be fair and equitable, ALL  PARTIES SHOULD BE LEGALLY ENTITLED WATER USERS IN THE FIRST PLACE.)

ANYWAY, lakedonpedro.org (as well as any other opinion/commentary type posting sites) can only express a previously held opinion at that time of posting.   (Seriously, think about it…. Until we are “linked” with something that can transmit and receive our simultaneous “bio-electrical signals” of thought and action, who really knows what another may or may not think or believe?)   I still wait for another legitimate interpretation of this outside WL11395 POU mess but fear the responsible parties are only sanitizing their records for the next wave of misrepresentation to achieve their goals.  Oh what a tangled web eh?  Seems like, as humans operating under our all too common A&I (apathy & ignorance), we only pack our troubles – like luggage for any trip – even if escaping and moving to our dream Lunar Lot.

Anyway, back to Frank.

Already mentioned my appreciation for Frank Zappa and his presentations before – I recall the photos (don’t know if post or page), – but you should know me by now… it’s a real personality flaw, I repeat things a lot.   I mean a lot.    An awful lot.  really, I do.  A lot.   Lol

The below two Frank Zappa albums,

Joe’ Garage part I,

and Joe’s Garage parts II and III,

influenced my taste and appreciation for a different form of music long ago.   Sure, some might argue an unfortunate occurrence during my impressionable formative adolescent years, lol, yet I believe it was actually a wonderfully  intended gift from a brilliant composing/performing musical artist far ahead of his time.

Please, understand my appreciation for Zappa’s expression did not/does not equate to agreeing with whatever presented, or what might appear to be advocated (under that inclusive umbrella recognized as entertainment) such as the album cover utilizing “Blackface” or the humorous audio robotic porno-episodes unveiled in song, (other album graphic art was pretty wild too) – but rather, it was for the unique style of his presentations coupled with Zappa’s exquisite skill and performance abilities.

What were four defining aspects of Zappa’s lifetime work?  Nonconformity, free form expression, sound experiments (1963 Steve Allen Show where Zappa plays a bicycle wheel), and satire (lots of highly political stuff – like when congress tackled VOLUNTARY LABELING FOR ALBUMS (Frank Zappa and the MOTHERS OF PREVENTION ALBUM – instead of invention LOL)

Yup, Frank Zappa did not connect with everyone, which again, is neither good or bad (I would say unfortunate) just an observation regarding personal preferences, but for those that his music did touch……altering.

“THE CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER”

During Joe’s musical journey through these two albums the “Central Scrutinizer”, a robotic digitized voice, narrates the action and fills in missing pieces to the story (really should be a movie – guess in some ways many of the components have already been illustrated in film) which is hilarious in itself with his little side comments of perspective and attempts at humor.

Yes indeed nothing new about the last video and my “almost music” composition with that reoccurring robotic voice – as a matter of fact, if anything, only 20 – 30 years stale!  lol

Look what’s happened since then.  Who could afford the required equipment back then to make such sounds?   Only the pioneers and those truly dedicated to becoming successful in the tough “dog eat dog” entertainment industry.  Ever notice how a musical innovation may be introduced by a particular artist/group then suddenly that “sound” is reproduced everywhere?   Just like everything else I suppose.   The USA develops a stealth fighter then suddenly adversaries are sporting the same technology in their aircraft.     Of course entity infiltration, espionage, theft, etc.  fuels that repetitive cycle and it goes on and on in many different situations.

OLD FOR PROS, NEW FOR LEW

How things change, eh?  What was once large and expensive is now small and affordable.   (Not sure, but didn’t I tell you about how I paid $80 overseas for a state of the art hand held Panasonic calculator with only the four functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division?   And how when I returned stateside calculators (with advanced functions) were being given away free with a carton of cigarettes?  WIlD!)   Anyway,  I use a small hand held digitized recorder, Casio keyboard, Yamaha Guitar and a harmonica Mom sent in a Christmas “CARE PACKAGE” years ago.  I combine whatever those might finally produce with scribbled musings and wannabe poetic lyrics.   Perfect combination yeah?  Wannabe lyrics and almost music!

Anyway, the other night I was reflecting on some of the problem audio tracks and suddenly realized that even with those headaches of program crashes/lost material, incompetent planning, and lack of skills, the process never-the-less was fun, made me feel good – almost young again!  That classic pounding beat with a meandering flow of melodies was relaxing and comfortable.  I could express what I truly felt to others in a form that was comfortable.  I could breath easier, feel the sound, and think clearer – rather like I’m feeling and thinking right now, which is, thank you Frank, rest in peace.

Here’s another good example of the

CAPTIONING

vs

WHAT WAS ACTUALLY SAID PROBLEM

The OAN (One America News) Channel has been running a couple of commercials highlighting portions of some old Malcolm X speeches/statements, yet even this EXCELLENT SOURCE FOR FAST & ACCURATE NEWS uses material with inaccurate captioning.

Does this suggest some sort of “universal captioning process” by particular entities doing most of the television captioning for whatever is presented to the public?  (Is it “captioning software”?)

Who/what is confusing information that should be presented in a clear understandable form?

ANYWAY, while listening to this commercial (while engaged in doing something else) I couldn’t understand a particular word so I looked up at the television to view the captioning for clarification (keep it on because it is sometimes correct – lol) only to see the word “forced”.   “Strange,I don’t recall hearing the word forced in that speech” I said to myself – prompting the impromptu research of what was presented versus actually spoken.

   CAPTIONING:

“When you live in a poor neighborhood you’re living in an area where you have forced to when you have four schools you have poor teachers?  When you have poor teachers you get a poor education when you have poor education you can only work on?  The job and you live again in a poor neighborhood.  So it’s a vicious cycle.”

NOW, WHAT WAS ACTUALLY SAID:

“When you live in a poor neighborhood you’re living in an area where you have poor schools.  When you have poor schools you have poor teachers.  When you have poor teachers you get  a poor education.  When you have poor education you can only work on a poor paying job and you live, again, in a poor neighborhood so it is a very vicious cycle.  We have a self help program, a do it yourself philosophy and the best place to start is right in the community where we live.”

Yes, I realize: the time allotted dictates commercial speed and the available space for text, just seems like another way of presenting the information might preserve the brilliance of this cause and effect observation.  Perhaps more words in larger “blocks” super-imposed, or layered, on the background video image?  Must be some way to protect the integrity of the thought process because, after all, this obviously wasn’t a “live performance”.   Not only inaccurate but seems disrespectful to the original author.

My best to you and yours, Lew

Just a thought. ???

Peculiar.  Look at the timing of the LAFCo creation of the Lake Don Pedro CSD, in August of 1980.

What had just happened only a month before regarding water license 11395 that the LDPCSD has used since that creation?

July 24, 1980: STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROOF OF MAXIMUM BENEFICIAL USE OF WATER UNDER THE LICENSE – the Merced River was fully appropriated — then the next month Mariposa County LAFCO apparently secretly expands the water service area outside the Lake Don Pedro residential subdivision  5 months before the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) approved the transfer of Sierra Highland’s facility and assets to the new district effective February 1981!

Everyone knew exactly what the CPUC was prepared to approve as a service area for the new district and all these “PROPOSED OUTSIDE POU WATER SERVICES FOR LAFCO ANNEXATIONS” were clearly not accepted in the transfer.  Such OUTSIDE POU water agreements WERE NOT TO BECOME OBLIGATIONS OF THE NEW DISTRICT!

Yup, the service area was evidently greatly, and quietly, expanded beyond the Place of Use restrictions only weeks after the State of California declared the Merced River fully appropriated and the water per WL11395 was being used to maximum beneficial use.

Is this the SIMPLE EXPLANATION as to why the original water service boundary map created in 1980 (based on the existing 11 pages of metes and bounds survey language) has never been produced in 38 years despite multiple requests from various individuals and government entities?

Because it would evidence the major differences in the APPROVED LDPCSD WATER SERVICE AREA by the State Water Board, the CPUC, and the POU restrictions contained in WL11395 – with what is represented by Mariposa County LAFCO, and “interpreted” by LDPCSD GM Pete Kampa?

Could that original map possibly be “interpreted” as evidence of a sophisticated and calculated deception in creating a special services district to gain access to WL11395 which could then be surreptitiously exploited into developing the vast acreage of rural foothill grazing lands within Tuolumne and Mariposa counties?   What a benefit to those local governments and  their land development speculators who don’t want to finance their own groundwater wells.

Yup.  Foothill development with a special benefit groundwater substitution program paid for by the unorganized and oblivious thousands of MERCED RIVER WATER ENTITLED CUSTOMERS OF THE Lake Don Pedro residential subdivision (half absentee owners) who were the perfect perpetual victims since they are mandatory customers of the LDPCSD due to CCRs which run with their subdivision property purchase!  Can’t escape, can’t drill their own private water wells and must pay whatever the LDPCSD demands regardless of the fact the district has violated every single characteristic of a California Special District.

No defined geographic area of service – or map of such service area; the defined group of entitled customers in the subdivision has been, and continues to be, expanded beyond the POU, and water service charges are much more expensive due to the district simultaneously providing a special benefit groundwater substitution program for LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES outside the POU which our district has no legal duty or moral obligation to provide water service.  This appears to be a “gift” of public funds and resources for private land developer benefit.

Counties get all the development inspection and permitting fees, taxes due, and such without the financial liability of having to provide those necessary and extremely expensive groundwater wells in a drought prone area.

This whole thing stinks and the fact that extremely important public records regarding these LAFCO ANNEXATIONS into the Lake Don Pedro CSD have been denied to the public for inspection is disconcerting and only encourages distrust.

Below is a link to some interesting reading about water right Due Diligence in western states:

Extroverted hermit

Internet the key

Blogging personal thoughts and such

Inexpensive therapy?

No chitchat two way blah blah blah

No time to read and reply

Only one-way personal weBLOG blasts

Public corruption the reason why.

What to do when heart and mind

Agree something is terribly wrong?

Use what capabilities I have left

Composing “almost music” songs?

All my life too embarrassed

To consider such performance attempts

But like a switch, inhibitions turned off

Thanks to deceitful government events!

The other day I commented

How one party consistently misrepresents

Here’s a perfect California example

The Prop 6 title the AG “bent”

PROPOSED LAW SECTION 1. Statement of Findings and Purposes.(a)California’s taxes on gasoline and car ownership are among the highest in the nation. (b) These taxes have been raised without the consent of the people. (c) Therefore, the people hereby amend the Constitution to require voter approval of the recent increase in the gas and car tax enacted by Chapter 5 of the Statutes of 2017 and any future increases in the gas and car tax. SEC. 2. Voter Approval for Increases in Gas and Car Tax. SEC. 2.1. Section 3.5 is added to Article XIII A of the California Constitution, to read: seC. 3.5. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Legislature shall not impose, increase or extend any tax, as defined in Section 3, on the sale, storage, use, or consumption of motor vehicle gasoline or diesel fuel, or on the privilege of a resident of California to operate on the public highways a vehicle or trailer coach, unless and until that proposed tax is submitted to the electorate and approved by a majority vote. (b) This section does not apply to taxes on motor vehicle gasoline or diesel fuel, or on the privilege of operating a vehicle or trailer coach at the rates that were in effect on January 1, 2017. Any increase in the rate of such taxes imposed after January 1, 2017, shall cease to be imposed unless and until approved by the electorate as required by this section.

The entire proposition was

Less than half a page- distinguished from others

Yet still this clear common sense proposal

Was corrupted with party druthers.

AG restated “repeal the gas tax”

Transformed it into threatened losses

For better roads, bridges, and infrastructure

Failing due to current political bosses.

Just like our CSD GM

When officials consistently misrepresent fact

What they are doing is likely a scam

When integrity is something they lack.

I for one will vote yes on Prop 6

They already stole illegal fire tax funds

A CA surplus without ethical bounds?

Time to change how California runs.

Retired Judge Steven Bailey

Is absolutely correct on this:

Answers are not “party limited”

And “right answers” will not miss!

That other party is “off the rail”

For average USA supporting constituents

Apparently morphing into aggressive mobs

Of disrespectful often paid miscreants.

My party isn’t perfect either

Yet it meets most serious concerns

Republic form of democracy, strong national defense,

Honest public service, and together, the rest we can earn.

?????&&&&&!!!!!

HOWDY!  It is Saturday,  October 20th, 2018 and looks to be a beautiful day up here in the foothills of Lake Don Pedro.

Did a quick check of the MARIPOSA COUNTY WEBSITE FOR LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission)  RESOLUTIONS but 13 years of official LAFCO records still have not been posted for public review.   I am still looking for legitimate information regarding the DOSCHER/LAKE SHORE RANCH proposed 900 acre residential subdivision across the street from the LDPCSD administration office which was stated to have been approved for DISTRICT ANNEXATION in 1995 when Kampa was here the first time, yet was actively kept a secret from the public and board members until early in 2014 only a few months before Pete Kampa returned through an unethical “closed recruitment process” for GM.

The announcement that the property had been approved was agreed to between LAFCO and LDPCSD officials in a “semi-closed public meeting” in Mariposa to update the LAFCO manual.    Strange, I had been planning on attending that meeting for some time with one of the civilian commissioners, Ken Kennedy also from Lake Don Pedro – and was even going to catch a ride with him to Mariposa.  Then all of a sudden both the  LDPCSD President and GM repeatedly advised that I could not attend due to the Brown Act and the fact outside  WL11395 Place of Use commercial cattle rancher and sitting LDPCSD Director Emery Ross was going to attend with the CSD president.  (A quorum of directors could be considered a Brown Act violation if all participated in LDPCSD business decisions without proper notice to the public of the meeting.  I contend Ross should not have been there to begin with due to his conflict of interest in being an outside WL11395 POU customer receiving special benefit GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION and being on record as to advocating further outside POU water service for other LAFCO annexations.)

What?   Emery Ross runs a commercial cattle ranching business outside the POU of WL11395 with chlorinated water intended for domestic human consumption for the residential subdivision!  Considering the concept of CONFLICT OF INTEREST –  how could Emery Ross be attending a meeting discussing whether certain property had previously (much less legally) been annexed into the district when Ross  had clearly circumvented the repeated denials by the LDPCSD in refusing GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION SERVICES for his proposed cattle ranch – yet Ross has been successfully watering his cattle for over 20 years with a water meter belonging to another cattle rancher?  What is more, as a result of that  investigation, it turned out there were several other properties also received GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION WATER SERVICE through water meters wrongfully taken from that same rancher.

Why would a clearly SPECIAL INTEREST DIRECTOR be permitted to attend that “SEMI CLOSED MEETING” when another sitting LDPCSD director had no such CONFLICT OF INTEREST and had studied the POU matter for almost four years but denied access? 

That is unless of course, LAFCO and the LDPCSD wanted a unanimous decision by all those involved THAT A PROPOSED 900 acre residential  subdivision had been annexed in 1995 just as the Mariposa County Planning Director and LAFCO Executive Officer  later relayed to me in Mariposa.  Sorry, don’t believe this story.

What I have seen of that annexation record is extremely unprofessional and clearly lacking in basic information and also appears to have been  resuscitated many times during on again, off again annexation attempts by the LDPCSD.  Even the proper name of the project is unreadable in the alleged approved annexation resolution.  (The possibility exists that multiple poorly constructed annexation resolutions (with limited information) have been utilized and merged to produce the purported annexation of this special project of Pete Kampa’s from over twenty years ago during 1994-1997 when he started his infamous career in the California water industry?)

The fact extremely important LAFCO annexation records are still not on the Mariposa County website is frustrating and I believe cause for concern for anyone who believes in the concept of TRANSPARENCY OF GOVERNMENT PROCESS.  If everything was above board and legal, why isn’t that information posted on the website for public  review and research?  Why have repeated requests to the Mariposa County Planning Department/LAFCO not even received a courtesy acknowledgement of receipt or reasonable explanation as to why the requested information is not provided?  (My original request was actually dictated by the Planning Director/LAFCO Executive in front of another Planning Department witness inside the Planning Department Office when I questioned how the request should best be written!)

Pertinent records for years 1996-2004 and 2015-2018 are still absent.  Why if such annexations into the LDPCSD were following LAFCO and other related laws as to how properties should be annexed for special district services.

Gosh, and now we find out that PETE KAMPA was working with CSDA and CALAFCO up in Sacramento during 2016 on the proper formation of LAFCOs?   This state is in severe trouble with “SPECIAL DISTRICT CHARACTERS” like Pete Kampa orchestrating the “proper way” to do things between LAFCOs  and SPECIAL DISTRICTS.  Consider the districts  Kampa has exploited since transplanting his apparent ultra liberal European socialist agenda into the Lake Don Pedro area in 1993.

WHY ARE OVER A DOZEN YEARS OF PUBLIC RECORDS MISSING FROM THE MARIPOSA COUNTY WEBSITE UNDER THE TITLE LAFCO RESOLUTIONS?

(1996-2004 and 2015-2018)

Are these records being studied by interested law enforcement entities or simply “sanitized” to removed all the suspicious indications of substandard work, special interest tampering or corruption?  Did Mariposa County Planning usurp the LAFCO resolution business for those years?  What has happened to LAFCO in Mariposa County?  Seems much of the LAFCO process has been taken over by the Planning Department.

NESTLES BACKLASH OVER BOTTLED WATER

PAST KAMPA CONCERN FOR ANOTHER CSD HE REPRESENTED

NESTLES BOTTLING IN MICHIGAN

NESTLES AND OUR WATER

Pete Kampa’s potential connection with European interests exploiting “the Waters of the United States of America” for business profit certainly wouldn’t be earth shattering news considering his reported past employment as General Manager of Delft University, Netherlands (I seriously doubt he was permitted to “remote manage” that position), AND his special interest management activities assisting LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) ANNEXED PROPERTIES he worked with 20 years ago when starting his infamous water career here at the Lake Don Pedro Community Services District (LDPCSD).

You may recall that all these COUNTY LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES (located in both Tuolumne and Mariposa) must be served with an ALTERNATE SOURCE of water to actually develop the various proposed projects (which even includes an adjacent – therefore “competing subdivision” next to the MERCED RIVER WATER ENTITLED LAKE DON PEDRO SUBDIVISION).

“Alternate source water” in the drought prone fractured rock foothills of the Lake Don Pedro area meant developing extremely expensive and often unreliable GROUNDWATER WELLS to produce the “REPLACEMENT WATER” for every unit of MERCED RIVER WATER from Lake McClure that LEAVES THE ENTITLED SUBDIVISION AND GOLF COURSE AREA to THESE LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES.   

WHY?

(you know this one)

BEC

WHY?

(you know this one)

BECAUSE LAFCO ANNEXATIONS ARE OUTSIDE THE PLACE OF USE FOR MERCED RIVER WATER per WATER LICENSE 11395.

Sure, LAFCO could “annex” those other properties into the “LDPCSD DISTRICT BOUNDARY”  but not the boundary that really meant something for projects requiring water –

THE PLACE OF USE BOUNDARY PER THE STATE WATER LICENSE!

Which is under the jurisdiction of……????

YES!

THE CALIFORNIA STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD

aka

STATE WATER BOARD!

Gosh, all this sounds so familiar…..do I repeat myself?  I was asking myself that just yesterday.

Hum, do I repeat myself?

I wonder……

HAS MID “STEPPED BACK” FROM LICENSE INTEGRITY RESPONSIBILITIES WITH “SILENT SUPPORT” FOR “KAMPA-GANDA”  ATTEMPTED POU CHANGE?

ANY SUGGESTION OF ACTIVE PARTICIPATION WITH “KAMPA LDPCSD” IN MISREPRESENTING THE LONG ESTABLISHED WL11395 POU SINCE 2014? BEFORE THAT? 

WHEN WAS MID FIRST MADE AWARE OF MERCED RIVER WATER SERVICE OUTSIDE THE POU? 

WHAT ACTIONS WERE TAKEN TO STOP AND PREVENT FUTURE WATER RIGHT VIOLATIONS?

HASN’T MID PROPOSED, ADVOCATED, NEGOTIATED AND APPROVED ANNEXATIONS OUTSIDE THEIR OWN WL11395 IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE ANNEXED OWNER’S WATER RIGHTS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THE LDPCSD WOULD PROVIDE FUTURE WATER SERVICE OUTSIDE THEIR LICENSE POU FOR PROJECT DEVELOPMENT?

WASN’T THE PINEY CREEK LARGE “SERVICE ISLAND” OF LAFCO ANNEXATIONS BASED ON OBTAINING WATER RIGHTS THAT ULTIMATELY WERE LATER DISCOVERED NOT TO HAVE EXISTED AFTER ANNEXATION INTO THE LDPCSD SERVICE AREA THAT WAS STILL OUTSIDE THE PERMITTED POU FOR MERCED RIVER WATER?

WERE THE ABOVE MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT INTENDED BENEFITS ESSENTIALLY PAID FOR WITH A CORRESPONDING IMPOSED FINANCIAL BURDEN/LIABILITY ON THE LDPCSD AND MR WECsTO PROVIDE AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE “ALTERNATE SOURCE GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM” IN THE FUTURE TO CIRCUMVENT THE POU RESTRICTIONS IN MID’S LICENSE REGARDING MERCED RIVER WATER DIVERSION AND USE?

A GRANT FUNDING PLAN TO PROVIDE GROUNDWATER WELLS FOR “ALTERNATE SOURCE WATER PRODUCTION” FOR VARIOUS LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES WOULD HAVE BEEN QUITE HELPFUL, YEAH?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

???

Now June 2018?  Had our first day of Summer already?

Phew!  Time flies when you get preoccupied with what appears to have all the earmarks of a continuing CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO SUBSTITUTE AN INCORRECT WATER LICENSE PLACE OF USE “shapefile” (digital map) obtained from a conditionally approved 1993 project that failed to meet state development conditions and was abandoned FOR THE OFFICIAL, AND LEGITIMATE,  WL11395 POU MAP on file with the SWRCB (State Water Resources Control Board) since June 1978. 

[IMPORTANT NOTE AS TO PRIOR POU ATTEMPTED DECEPTION FROM THE BEGINNING:

The prior 1977 POU MAP, initially submitted to the state for licensing purposes, was apparently found to have included NUMEROUS PROPERTIES RESERVING FUTURE WATER that were not entitled to Merced River water per WL11395 (INCLUDING KAMPAS “SLUMBERING 1995 PROPOSED SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION) – as was also clearly documented in the January 1981 CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION (CPUC) Transfer of Facilities and Assets of  Sierra Highlands Water Company to the August 1980 LAFCO FORMED Lake Don Pedro CSD.

The 1977 INCORRECT MAP is what PETE KAMPA continues to display on the LDPCSD WEBSITE which is a great example of his arrogant and contemptuous disregard for the truth much less our legal system of justice in this country.

SIDE NOTE:  POSSIBLE NETHERLANDS CONNECTION?  Kampa was doing this “if you’re not going to use all this water I know property owners who will” attitude in Lake Don Pedro in 1994.  Prior internet advertisements for his KAMPA COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS, llc  aka KAMPACS, special district management company, reported he had been manager and general manager at Delft University, Netherlands.  While researching property ownership laws I ran across the “squatter movement” in the Netherlands.  Absolutely wild.  I ended up watching a 1+ hour film documentary on the issue entitled “THE STREET IS OURS”  “De stad was van ons” “The city was ours” — fortunately it had English captioning.

Not that it necessarily has anything to do with what Kampa was doing in Lake Don Pedro around the same time period, but what was happening in the Netherlands where Kampa likely was before being hired here in the United States in 1994?

Due to widespread homelessness in the country, especially cities, organized gangs of homeless people were breaking into various vacant homes, apartments, commercial buildings, etc., and claiming the property has their home despite repeated requests (and some violence) by the lawful owners of the property for the trespassers to leave.   I believe the phrase “use it or loose it” was used in this particular “squatting documentary” but I’m not going to spend almost and hour and a half to review it again – especially since I also watched a couple of videos regarding individuals claiming an adverse possession to another person’s property in the Netherlands.  I believe this “squatters movement” also occurred in San Francisco a decade or two earlier.   The rationale was, “why should a building sit vacant if a bunch of people could live in it instead of on the street?”   Can you imagine the destruction, vandalism and health concerns if there was no running water, electric, or sewer and  sanitation disposal service?   So what happens?  The judicial system upholds that the “squatters could stay” if they had certain common household furniture and necessities in the occupied buildings so the squatters would cause a disturbance in one part of the region to draw law enforcement while simultaneously breaking into buildings in the city and hauling truck and bus loads of furniture and such for placement in the “squatted building” to prove residency!   Anyway, this adversarial possession stuff continued for a while until someone purchased the property and negotiated a settlement with the squatters, with some of them surprisingly quite angry that such a settlement obviously recognized a new owner of the property they were adversely possessing.

The United States of America is not the Netherlands.

We are a republican form of democracy with a Constitution that protects the rights of each individual citizen.

Our system of government does not operate by a simple direct majority type rule that can arbitrarily violate the rights of the individual because it might be more convenient.

Taking someone’s building under some adverse possession rationalized cry of “use it or lose it” might work in the Netherlands but not in this country.  Other than situations of eminent domain proceedings in the name of pubic good it is the property owners right to do what he wants with his own property so long as it conforms to established land use regulations of that jurisdiction. 

A water right violation is a trespass also.  Someone’s RIGHT to water per the license has been trespassed upon when the “licensed water” is put to other uses or used in areas outside the PLACE OF USE authorized in the license.

Thank Heavens there are SWRCB employees hired, trained and dedicated to enforcing the laws of this state in protecting the rights of water license holders and other junior users of this precious natural resource.

SURE WOULD LIKE TO MEET ONE.

OK, let’s see if I can figure out how to post this as a new page for 2018 (just in case I decide to “drop in” next year!   lol

I KNEW THIS CURRENT BLAH BLAH BLAH SOUNDED FAMILIAR!

Just found a draft WITH the film link!

???

Was Pete Kampa hired by the LDPCSD in 1994 to continue the same type of LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) expansion of district water services previously attempted/accomplished by his predecessor General Manager Wes Snyder who was the first GM inherited from the prior SIERRA HIGHLANDS WATER COMPANY?

(OH YEAH, our 50 year old consulting engineers (who have also been pushing expansion since BEFORE LDPCSD FORMATION in August 1980) announced (June 18th, 2018 agenda packet) they are leaving and we need a new engineering consultant.  Gee, wonder what qualifications KAMPA will accept for his purposes?   His proposed selection process was very detailed and outlined much information that the engineer should have but DID NOT MENTION THE GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM one time that I could see strange, don’t you think?)

DID PETE KAMPA PLANT THE SEEDS FOR FURTHER annexed property water demand 20 years earlier

UTILIZING PUBLIC FUNDS & RESOURCES,

LETTING DEMAND GROW with special interest organized district dysfunction and

apparent self-serving assistance of co-operative PARENT COUNTY LAFCOs?

Did he return in 2014 through a BOARD ORCHESTRATED UNETHICAL APPOINTMENT

SELECTION PROCESS AS GENERAL MANAGER AND BOARD TREASURER

with the added cover and assistance of his limited liability management company and a

20 year Board Member affiliation with one of the largest special district and water lobbying associations in the state?

Did he not use one million dollars in LDPCSD cash saved after near bankruptcy and resulting passage of a Prop 218  to leverage government grants?

DID KAMPA MISREPRESENT THE ACTUAL PURPOSE for acquiring those grants

that were intended and conditioned upon exclusive use in assistance of existing customers during historic drought?

Was he SPECIFICALLY ADVISED THE GRANTS WERE NOT FOR INCREASING CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS?

Did KAMPA from the start intend to USE THOSE FURTHER SUBSTANTIAL PUBLIC FUNDS to expand a SPECIAL BENEFIT GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM BY DEVELOPING MORE GROUNDWATER WELLS required for creation of an ALTERNATE SOURCE OF WATER PRODUCTION NEEDED to replace the MERCED RIVER WATER BEING DIVERTED FROM THE SUBDIVISION POU SO AS TO LEGALLY CIRCUMVENT THE PLACE OF USE RESTRICTIONS OF WL11395?

(While simultaneously destroying the intent and purpose of those license restrictions no less.)

Was PETE KAMPA returned  to provide the subsidized water necessary for development and ultimate INCREASED PROFIT HARVESTS that he planted 20 years earlier?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Many facts and questions about PETER KAMPA remain unknown and unanswered, from the original board that hired him without a background check, to the one that supports him today despite his continued not telling the truth and repeated attempts at deception.  This leaves others concerned about his (& Board’s) suspicious activities in the difficult position of having to surmise, assume, extrapolate, and JUST GUESS at the actual motives for his continuing disingenuous behavior against the interests of <MR WECs> of the LAKE DON PEDRO SUBDIVISION.

IF that’s the way they want it? 

Fine by me. 

Let’s guess!

WHY CONCEAL HIS NETHERLANDS BACKGROUND?

One aspect that I find particularly curious is why PETE KAMPA removed his prior NETHERLANDS EMPLOYMENT BACKGROUND from the internet as well as other little tidbits and clues to his past and present activities?  Could that Netherlands connection have anything to do with this nation’s recent focus on citizenship status?   Indicative of environmental development regarding education, employment, perspectives on personal property ownership, etc.  Did Kampa attend and graduate from Delft University?  Was Kampa actually employed at Delft University, Netherlands as a manager then General Manager as previously reported?

(Just because the information has been taken down, don’t forget the NSA (National Security Administration) probably has it backed up and stored in Utah!   Not sure whether to “lol” on that one or not considering some of my own internet research …ahh, you know,   ….emmm, ahhh,…. well,…ahhhhhh..nervously clearing throat…..ahhh, well……. back to the topic in at hand……..  LOL!    Finally had another use for strike out.)

Was Kampa from the Netherlands prior to being employed by LDPCSD in 1994?

Could there be a family/friend relationship or business connection going back to the Netherlands regarding the “slumbering 1995 proposed subdivision” Kampa has actively concealed from the public?

What about any of the other proposed large developments back then – are they to be brought back to life with this new KAMPA POU MAP SCAM?

I DO NOT KNOW

BUT HAVE BEEN STUDYING AND TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT FOR YEARS BECAUSE IT SURE APPEARS AS THOUGH SERIOUS FELONIES HAVE BEEN COMMITTED……but why?

WHAT AM I MISSING?

FAR MORE SERIOUS VIOLATIONS OF LAW HAVE BEEN COMMITTED WITH COMPLEX DAMAGES TO THE PUBLIC INFORMATION SYSTEM, YET EVERY DAY REGULAR CITIZENS CONVICTED OF FAR LESS SERIOUS TRANSGRESSIONS ARE SENT TO JAIL AND PRISON BECAUSE THEY INTENTIONALLY VIOLATED SOME LAW.

Please take some time to view the below documentary which explains why it was considered appropriate for many homeless individuals in the Netherlands to form “gangs” and forcibly break into homes and buildings belonging to others claiming them as their own – even to the point of armed resistance against the police.

AND THE NETHERLANDS COURT CAVED INTO THE SQUATTERS!

How did such a situation play out here in America with its distinction between private vs public property ownership and the specific protections afforded the former?

Why such apparent apathy for the continuing corruption of our local public agency and victimization of MR WECs by special interests clearly being served by a public official who refuses to tell the truth?

I must say the video and information accompanying it was rather surprising but it might possibly shed some light on Kampa’s personal philosophy and how he apparently believes his perspective and business goals should overrule STATE WATER BOARD regulations and general law?   Evidently he believed it 20 years ago as he does today.  Maybe other significant players in this nightmare performance of public betrayal are of a similar background, belief and perspective?

Maybe there has been a “KRACKEN GANG” regarding water operations in Lake Don Pedro even before the LDPCSD was formed so they consider it theirs to be used as they wish and the law be damned?

“KRACKEN”

<<<HOUSE SQUATTING IN THE NETHERLANDS>>>

Notice a similarity with KAMPA’s apparent ideology that the SUBDIVISION’S ENTITLED WATER belongs to everyone and should be taken through any means possible?

Shades of the in your face BERKLEY FREE SPEECH MOVEMENT IN THE 1960’s?

WHICH HAS NOW ALSO APPARENTLY BEEN REPLACED WITH THE FASCIST INTOLERANCE OF THE ANTI-AMERICAN FAR LEFT!

What has happened to this country?

Why do so many people come to the UNITED STATES

claiming to seek OUR CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS

then IMMEDIATELY BEGIN WORKING TO

CHANGE OUR AMERICAN SYSTEM INTO

A FORM OF THE GOVERNMENT THEY LEFT?

I was aware of some facts about the Netherlands such as the many political factions governing their geographically separate entities, the far left and liberal perspectives on drugs and prostitution (not being judgemental), but really not much else except for what I occasionally hear on the national news.

My comments are certainly not intended to be insulting, judgemental, or dismissive of another recognized government, way of life, culture, perspective, etc.  The Netherlands appears to be a very beautiful area with a rich and interesting history, however, it is not my home.   Yes!  diversity is good but how the citizens of the Netherlands want to run their home is their business and if it works for them – fantastic.  I am concerned with my home country, not the Netherlands, and US LAW should be respected and enforced regardless of what PRIVATE THIRD PARTY PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS PETE KAMPA MIGHT POSSIBLY BELIEVE SHOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH PUBLIC FUNDS AND RESOURCES.

I believe my financial investment in, and hard work for, my Lake Don Pedro Subdivision property has been severely devalued due to the failure of:  the Lake Don Pedro Owners Association (LDPOA); LAFCO and Planning Departments of both Tuolumne County and Mariposa County; and now even the SWRCB to protect the subdivision’s entitled water under WL11395 which is the most valuable selling point for any LDPOA property served water by the LDPCSD in these drought prone foothills.  Worse yet, property values will continue to decline so long as the special interests of land developers owning LAFCO annexed parcels (requiring GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION FOR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT) continues to misdirect our CSD operations to the further financial detriment of mandatory customers who are forced to subsidize such development.

PUBLIC OFFICIALS WHO INTENTIONALLY VIOLATE LAW AND USE PUBLIC FUNDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF PRIVATE SPECIAL INTEREST PROFIT SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THE SAME DEGREE AS THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF, AND PARTICIPATION IN, SUCH BETRAYAL OF PUBLIC TRUST.

Sounds familiar…..

Oh yeah,

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

I’ve had it with this foolishness and outrageously corrupt public agency management.

LAKE DON PEDRO CSD is only a microcosm of the same type of garbage in Washington D.C. and Sacramento, heck, probably every where to one degree or another.  Frankly I’m glad OUR PRESIDENT voices his preferences for candidates running for office – saves me the time of reading all the other “sounds too good to be true junk” which also provides more time to focus on draining our own local swamp.

President Trump is taking common sense, long overdue, hard stands on difficult issues that have detrimentally affected THIS NATION AND  ALL HER CITIZENS for a very long time – and if he prefers to work with a particular individual – that is where my vote will go if I have the option!  More on this later-

and as George Costanza on Seinfeld would say,

“I’M OUT BABY!  

I AM OUT!”
