Anyone who thinks Paul Hobbs Winery constitutes an "oasis" really must look further .

A true oasis is the breathtaking and beloved historic piece of West Sonoma County's wooded scape that Paul Hobbs acquired in a quiet and eyebrow-raising quick transaction with the County-- natural beauty that now visitors can only imagine, because as soon as his signature on the deed was dry -- without an ounce of shame and or acknowledgment of the horrified residents who pass by everyday-- Paul Hobbs brought in heavy equipment and hideously razed and destroyed everything, even date palms which could have been moved elsewhere, to make a profit charming and selling wine to tourists who have no idea of the winery's unfortunate history..
>
A nature-destroying cookie-cutter winery like the one Paul Hobbs built belongs in Disney World. How many more pop-up wineries before before californians are forced to go to Disney World to look at nature?

Please boycott Paul Hobbs Winery.

Amen to That, Citizen Zvone !


Kudos to you Zvone, for your contribution and the labor you have already dedicated in the good fight to help right -{ or at least expose }- this vast wrong that has been done : to the Earth, to the Ecology, to the local Environment, to the local Community, to the Public, to the very Concept & Practice of Equity and Justice in the Courts of Law, - and last, but not least, to John Jenkel, himself, self described "coachman-turned-corruption fighter."

All of the above have been wronged by the above, and wounded, too, by the actions of Paul Hobbs Winery, LLP - and whoever their silent Partners may be - and by the egregious disregard for Justice that has been displayed by Members of the Bench of the Superior Court of Sonoma County, State of California, in the conduct of how the Court dealt with the series of Mandmuses and Torts, that were served in the Court, since 2006, by the Paul Hobbs Winery, LLP, against their neighbor, John Jenkel.

I would encourage everyone who cares about any or all of the points enumerated in the litany in the first paragraph, to visit the wild old codger, himself. Bring a Notepad, or a Tape Recorder and ask him a few Questions. And while you're at it, assemble a few Facts, will ya? That way you can acquit yourselves as having the "first-hand experience" that the Yelp Guidelines call for...


Hi inezelia,

We're writing to inform you that we've decided to remove your review of Paul Hobbs Winery. We don't take this decision lightly, and appreciate the seriousness of the allegations in your review. Nevertheless our Content Guidelines ( https://www.yelp.com/guidelines) are very clear in outlining the need for a first-hand experience, and we think this an important requirement for maintaining Yelp as a useful site for consumer reviews. Responding to a news story or other users' reviews falls outside of a core first-hand experience of the business.

That being said, we would never wish to stifle discussion on any of the issues you've raised, and our Talk section ( https://www.yelp.com/talk) may be a great forum for your opinions regarding this incident.

Please know that we review every situation with great attention and take this matter very seriously.
We need Facts, to understand this thing = and the Nature, as they say, of the Beast. We also need first-hand scoping-out of the Scene, as they call it. No mayhem, please.

Let John Jenkel take you up on the roof of his study, where you can see the Paul Hobbs Winery LLP operation in all its Auschwitzian banality. Indeed, the whole operation should be called "Stalag 116" as John Jenkel has termed it. The Paul Hobbs Winery, LLP is a blight on the landscape. Architecturally, die Fabrik is a dead-ringer for Auschwitz.

It only lacks gas chambers, crematoria, smoke-stacks, and the unpleasant odor of smoke.

Censorship @ The Press Democrat...



Womens & Mens: May I get your attention? The following missive, which I wrote, in early June, and posted almost simultaneously on both WaccoBB and the forum section of the Press Democrat, has been pulled from the on-line edition of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.

MY statement, which came from my gut - as well as my heart and mind, and which has been - Surprise ! - pulled; read as follows :








J'Accuse !

The Judgment In John Jenkel's Case is not "Justice."



The Judgment in John Jenkel's Case Is not Justice. It is wrong, very wrong, that this should be the outcome of Mr. Jenkel’s trial. I am in shock that such an egregious miscarriage of Justice could have happened in the Courts of Sonoma County.

I reflect on the last several times I passed Harmony Farms and Mr. Jenkel's farm was still intact, where those bold Anti-War banners of his used to flap in the wind on the opposite hedgerow just across highway 116, all during the last decade... And now, I shudder to think what I shall feel when once again I shall pass by, or visit Harmony Farms, and see a clear-cut across the road. What a travesty.

Yes, John Jenkel is a difficult man; a cantankerous old-right maverick, and an “unhappy camper” to boot. Everyone says so - it seems to be the consensus that fits everyone's comfort quotient. The details of his anti-Afghanistan War position - that Willie Brown was a player behind the scenes in the whole 9/11 fandango, did not resonate with the various shades of left analysis. His assertion that Willie Brown is “the most powerful political broker in California,” is at least debatable.

He does understand - articulately - that the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan had nothing to do with the cover story of going after Osama bin Laden, and everything to do with where the oil pipeline from Kazakhstan would go.

John Jenkel has never been popular. He does not know how to be. But John Jenkel has shown himself to be a brave and an outspoken Soul; a civil-libertarian who has the courage to express his own convictions; an unrelenting political human being, who has stuck his neck out as a Citizen – which is more than most of us do. He has shown himself to be a passionate opponent of two illegal Wars of occupation, who carries in his heart, as the ashes of Klaes, the suffering these Wars have engendered.

This so-called “Judgment” in the Court that awarded the $350,000 settlement to Paul Hobbs is not “Justice” at all ! It is full of malice and malfeasance. It is a transparent political misuse of the Court, using Mr. Hobbs as a convenient proxy, to persecute and silence one of the last voices among us of the species of Anthropos Politicanus. A subliminal message may be read in this: "This is what happens when you step out of line and become too political."

Yes, we all are vulnerable Now, and we are all also somewhere among the next in Line. What was it that pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer said? O yes: “First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”

You can paraphrase Bonhoeffer, in this case: "First they came for the eccentric Conservative Constitutionalists..." We have all let John Jenkel down. We did not support him in his lonely ordeal, nor show up at his Court hearings, though we were vaguely aware that all this was going on, and that his property was hanging in the balance. Let the clear-cutting of the redwoods on the lot opposite Harmony Farms become a rallying point. “We must all hang together or assuredly we will all hang separately.” Benjamin Franklin said that.

That op-Ed of mine, all too true, which was Up on the Press Democrat website, is now gone. Now the editorial department down town at the Press Democrat might have done this for a number of reasons: Perhaps they took offense at this:

"Pentagon Papers Whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg Says That
the Government Has ORDERED the Media Not to Cover 9/11"

https://www.washingtonsblog.com/2011/...er-daniel.html (https://www.washingtonsblog.com/2011/06/pentagon-papers-whistleblower-daniel.html)

To quote from WASHINGTON'S BLOG:


"What Does Ellsberg Say? "


"Ellsberg says (https://www.bradblog.com/?p=5260#more-5260) that the government has ordered the media not to cover 9/11:
Ellsberg seemed hardly surprised that today's American mainstream broadcast media has so far failed to take [former FBI translator and 9/11 whistleblower Sibel] Edmonds up on her offer, despite the blockbuster nature of her allegations [which Ellsberg calls "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers"].

As Edmonds has also alluded, Ellsberg pointed to the New York Times, who "sat on the NSA spying story for over a year" when they "could have put it out before the 2004 election, which might have changed the outcome."

"There will be phone calls going out to the media saying 'don't even think of touching it, you will be prosecuted for violating national security,'" he told us.

"I am confident that there is conversation inside the Government as to 'How do we deal with Sibel?'" contends Ellsberg. "The first line of defense is to ensure that she doesn't get into the media. I think any outlet that thought of using her materials would go to to the government and they would be told 'don't touch this . . . .'" He [Ellsberg] supports (https://www.washingtonsblog.com/2011/03/pentagon-papers-whistleblowers.html) a new 9/11 investigation.

He says (https://www.bradblog.com/?p=5260) that the case of a certain 9/11 whistleblower is "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers". (Here's some (https://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/7/31/760117/-Bombshell:-Bin-Laden-worked-for-US-till-9-11) of what that whistleblower says.) He also said that the government is ordering the media to cover up her allegations about 9/11.

And he says that some of the claims concerning government involvement in 9/11 are credible, that "very serious questions have been raised about what they knew beforehand and how much involvement there might have been", that engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or psychologically beyond the scope of those in office, and that there's enough evidence to justify a new, "hard-hitting" investigation into 9/11 with subpoenas and testimony taken under oath (see [U]this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJhWhItqYCc) and this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VirlkZq1pLY))."

We all know that our local daily, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, known as the Times Light (as in Bud Light) by the smart alecs among us, and which has given local 9/11 dissident John Jenkel such “wonderful press,” is an affiliate of the New York Times.

Consider, also, this missive from WASHINGTON'S BLOG,
May 25, 2011:

https://www.washingtonsblog.com/2011/...n-be-kept.html (https://www.washingtonsblog.com/2011/05/daniel-ellsberg-secrets-can-be-kept.html)

One begins to wonder just how far-fetched the so-called “conspiracy theories” of Citizen John Jenkel really are…

The Banality of evil & the fires of Bosnia, Kosovo, & Graton



Attachment 13165 (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=13165)


As a Not-so-innocent by-stander to Life, and as an Outsider to the West-County Community, who dwells on, and still "possesses" a clear title to fifteen acres of land facing the ridge which is the eastern perimeter and rim of the bowl of Sonoma County, I find the portent of this fire down in the valley, in Graton, to be very ominous - and the account that was rendered in the Press Democrat, to be really very appalling: The article, which accompanied the photograph above, was entitled:


“Two houses burned in Graton fire exercise”



https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article...-fire-exercise


Reading the article in the Link above, I was reminded of Hannah Arendt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Arendt)'s observations about the "banality of evil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banality-of-evil)," in her book, "Eichmann in Jerusalem (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/books.google.com/books?id=yGoxZEdw36oC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false)." Neither the author of the article in the Press Democrat, nor the fire chief and captain quoted in the article, question what they are doing - either the legality of the seizure of the lands of this heretic - nor the injustice inherent in the act of burning down the houses on it - houses that rightfully should still belong to a seventy-two year old senior citizen; who was once a respected and honored Country Squire, in the days when Graton and Sebastopol were still the apples towns (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XG1B_7r4y8) of my lang memory; and in the days before September 11, 2001 (https://www.google.com/search&q=%22September+11%2C+2001%22&hl=en&num=100&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=images&tbs=)...





I do not know.



Anyway, like the lonesome hobo in Dylan's song, I'd like to tell you all - before I do pass on, that i bear no ill will to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. Like Adolf Eichmann, they, too, are only following orders. Orders which come, according to Daniel Ellsberg, from the current Administration of our dearly beloved high brown pres, who himself, is only following orders -{ Orders which come from David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and the Presidium of the Trilateral Commission} - but whom one may not criticize in some circles without running the risk of being thought a racist.

Also, I have nothing personal against the Press Democrat, and must state - for the Record - that it has only been since I read that missive on Washington's BLOG, that came from the desk of Daniel Ellsberg, that I started to use the common street lingo expression, "Times Light " when referring to our local Daily Newspaper.

Members of my own family - I would add, have worked for the New York Times. My mother's maiden uncle, Walter Fletcher {nee Fleischer} was the Picture Editor of the New York Times for many years - & throughout World War II. My mother's father, Walter W. Liggett also worked for the Times, in the Nineteen-twenties. It was on his Resume as it appeared in Who's Who.

So I have nothing Personal against your paper, dear editors. I just think that it is time that we learn the truth about 9-11; and that the "professional journalists" of the mainstream media should stop strait-jacketing themselves on this score...

Also, I will add, I do not like Censorship myself. I protest ! And I also Stand by my Words, which have been deleted from your forum, and which I do reprint here, above, since they are still timely ...

Sincerely,

Mark Walter Evans

My entry on Yelp regarding Paul Hobbs was also rescinded with the same provisos you quoted here. I'm dismayed at the apparent collusion of government and press to censor concerned citizens regarding issues of great import. And I appreciate the opportunity to "speak out" here on Wacco. Thanks so much, Barry, for this forum. Perhaps prayers and meditations are our best tools for shifts and changes in the status quo.

Open Letter to the International Action Center, Re: John Jenkel
Attn: Ramsey Clark, Attorney General, retired.


Thank you, Jim, for your concern.

John Jenkel is a very unique, and - in some ways - a very difficult Individual. He just turned seventy-three, last Friday. He was born into a wealthy family of the the lower upper-class - but of the sort who like to work hard, and do not mind getting callouses on their hands, and dirt under their fingernails. John Jenkel has worked hard all his life. He is still very vigorous, and vital for someone his age.

John had the advantage of having a father who put him through Stanford, where he graduated at the age of twenty-one. Although he is not a lawyer, he knows a great deal about law, and has always been aware of developments in Civic Law as they relate to Freedom in the Polis. That is one of the positive points of the ideology of the old-right libertarians, aka Paleo-Conservatives - which is the tendency that John Jenkel comes from. Thus, quite soon after 9-11, John Jenkel read, and was able to understand, comprehend, dissect, measure, and take stock of the significance of the fascist legislation known as Public Law 107-243.

Until September 11, 2001, John was a well-respected Country Squire of the apple country of western Sonoma County - and had been so for many years. Politically, he was a sort of Whig, and a registered Republican. John was a building contractor, who built many houses in the neighborhood of Graton, and Sebastopol. He also was a serious horseman, and a collector of antique horse-drawn buggies, carriages & wagons. Significantly, he worked for years, as a high-level employee for the Bohemian Grove, pulling the Casket with his team & wagon, in the "Cremation of Care Ceremony."

Thus, when John Jenkel "came out" as an anti-War activist, & an anti- Imperialist, after 9-11, he had a lot to lose. He is very brave, and very principled. But, I warn you: he is also quite irascible, and in some ways, [almost] his own worst enemy. {He has other enemies, and they are lively, and they are very real and very powerful.} Somehow, since that fateful day, September 11, 2001, John Jenkel has morphed into a kind of 21st Century Jacobin, who would send the perpetrators of 9-11 to the gallows or the guillotine. As a Quaker, I think it is enough to leave their judgment - and their ultimate punishment - in the hands of the unseen, eternal One who sees and knows all - and who does judge all human beings, ultimately...

As an unreconstructed old - left '60's Berkeley boy with my roots planted firmly in the non- violent tradition of the Quaker Left, and the Civil Rights movement, as led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I do not - and also, I can not - agree with John Jenkel's adamant, unbending, harsh, and remorseless insistence on the necessity of the death penalty for George W. Bush, and all of his accomplices who were complicit in the events of 9-11, and in the imposition of the Fascist legislation known as Public Law 107-243.

But I do think that John Jenkel should be heard and known, far beyond the Shire of western Sonoma County- and that his case merits a review in some higher Court than the Superior Court of Sonoma County, which has committed such egregious injustice in his case. His persecutors, also, who have hounded, and beaten, and oppressed him only because he has ceaselessly and very relentlessly exercised his First Amendment Rights in the Polis, should also be exposed, and put to public shame.

And whether this is done through the Judicial process, or in the Court of the Commons, or must wait until the Judgment seat of the Lamb, I for one, do not care... I only know that it shall happen.

Sincerely,

Mark Walter Evans

Dear People of the International Action Center, Greetings:

Please regard this as a Letter that carries with it a certain amount of Responsibility. Please Read it, and check out the Links. It is an important story - one which concerns everyone who loves trees and people; who cares about the environment, ecology, and also civil rights, property rights, and vast weighty realities like “free speech,” political persecution of dissidents, and social Justice - and Injustice. Please, feel free, also to pass this e-letter on to all of your friends and relations...

A Newsworthy Under-reported Story


At a time when tens of thousands of mortgaged home-owners in the United States are still losing their houses and lands to banks and holding companies every week, another trend, akin to the Assizes of the late Seventeenth century in England, seems to have begun in California. We wonder if there are incidents of this happening elsewhere around the Country...

We, the citizens and earth-dwellers on a portion of Mother Terra that Luther Burbank likened to the Garden of Eden; known, juristically, as Sonoma County, California, are witnesses to it.

A very ugly example of ruthless Elder Abuse followed by Arbicide, and what appears to many in this locality to be a politically-motivated, Court-sanctioned Land-grab, has occurred before our eyes, in a very in-your-face manner, on a California State highway designated as a “Scenic Corridor” – a section of State highway 116, just north of the town of Sebastopol, and adjacent to the hamlet of Graton, California. Here are the Links:

Since this has been, for many of us, a very alarming, eye-opening, and disturbing incident, We, the citizens and earth dwellers of this region think it is fitting that you, who dwell outside our little fish-bowl of Western Sonoma County be made aware of this incident, for it appears to be political in Nature, and an example of political persecution-by-proxy of an unorthodox maverick, a certain John Jenkel, citizen activist, Jacobin republican, and “9-11 Truth” self-defined ”coachman-turned-corruption-fighter;” a man who has made himself a thorn-in-the-side to City Hall, and the local powers-that-be, by his relentless decade-long, one-man campaign for 9-11 accountability. Here is his contact information :

Phone #s : 1-707-823-7083; 1-800-500-7083
E-mail: [email protected]

We think that it fitting that Civil Libertarians & Reporters & Investigative Journalists from elsewhere on the planet contact Mr. Jenkel, and interview him; towards the ends that a more objective (and perhaps somewhat less biased) Account may emerge…

Why I Have Stuck My Own Neck Out


Just in case some of you out there in Waccovia think that this one {me-uns} has taken on the thankless task of keeping this “…Hobbs Takeover of the Jenkel Property” thread up & running on this bulletin board, because I have been in the pay – or have tae’en d’Argent frae John Jenkel, hi’sel, former money-bags of anti-War banners in our local Sonoma County scene, please do, disabuse your’ selves o’ that illusion.

Fact is, I have never ever taken a cent frae the auld disgruntled anti-War warrior. Fact is, the past several times I’ve seen him, or spoken on the phone, he’s taken it upon hi’sel to brand me as his enemy – sent to betray or discredit him.

And if you – any of you would simply go to the horse’s mouth at this hour, on Today, and would call the auld curmudgeon up {1-800-500-7083} and ask him, your ain selves about the bona fides of this one { i.e., me’sel} you’d probably hear a bit o’ cursin’ in the midst o’ the heated expletives he’d offer you on my account.

No, he does not – nor has he ever given me a cent mair than the breakfast he bought for me on June 10th at the Willow-Wood Café, in beautiful downtown Graton. So why do I do it? – Why have I taken on the thankless job of writing my poor pathetic screeds on his miserable account, Our latter-day Dreyfus, who at least, unlike old Alfred, is not boring?

Simple Answer: I must. & indeed, someone must take the time, to keep this thread alive and active – and also post a series o’ cover-letters all around the internet, alertin’ other folks who dwell elsewhere, about the events that have taken place up on highway one sixteen, even if the sae-called “Conscious Community” of the beautiful West County hae got a case o’ collective A.D.D. for grown-ups on the matter of the Hobbs takeover of the Jenkel property...

I must do it in spite of the fact that I have made myself Vulnerable and Next-in-line by doing so. Truly, I also have a lot to lose, by coming out – even in this silly little forum [no offence tae yuir lovely website, Barry,] because I, Also own property here in beautiful, green Sonoma County. And I am an owner-builder, who never final-ed my beautiful Elizabethan Cottage, because it is not hooked up to a septic system, but instead has an Excel model, Sun-Mar toilet (https://www.sun-mar.com/prod_self_exce.html) in the bathroom.

Yes, I also have something to lose - although I won a kind of Mexican Stand-off, fair and square, by my ain combative para-legal paperwork with the Sonoma County honchos, with regards to the status us of my own house & land. I suppose, if I go down in flames, and a winery corporation gobbles up my acreage, others may rise to pontificate over the “unsavory lightness of my undoing” – and still others may say that I “brought it all upon myself.”

The owners of The GAP do own hundreds of acres on the ridge to the North of me, approximately half a mile, as the crow flies, across a canyon. Every morning their hired Mexican workforce are up at the crack of dawn, converting more of the indigenous Mayacama hill country into vineyard. I thank the Higher Power for the favor of having put a canyon in between me and my nearest neighbors.

So why do I do it? – Why have I taken this task on? It is not about John Jenkel – though he, involved as he is, in his own drama, may think himself to be the center of the West County universe, we all know that he is not.

But as a symbol of what the powers-that-be are capable of doing to a man who bravely stuck his own neck out, and doggedly railed against Martial Law, imposed under Public Law 107-243, his case is exceptional and the wrong done unto him is an affront to the Rights of all Citizens in the United States of America.

And this case must be heard, and known, far and wide – that this has happened, and that the Court has colluded with a Winery LLP to defraud an old gentleman rancher of houses & lands & wealth, all because he diligently exercised his First Amendment Right to express himself in the traditional forums of the Polis.

The fact that this has taken place in this County should alert anybody who is astute about the nature of Fascism as to the hour we are living in and the utter audacity of the entrenched politico-criminals who currently occupy the seats of power.


Sincerely,

Mark Walter Evans

Can't trust Congress


Organized crime can control martial law Congress, but it can't control the Dow. Its going down. Go, economic collapse from criminal profiteering and fascist agenda!


You can't fool the market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 513 points on August 4, 2011, two days after an organized crime-sponsored/MARTIAL LAW installing /mass murdering/world terrorizing Congress made a "compromise" to put every man, woman, and child in America further in debt, when we already own over $45,000 per person.


Over half of our Congress-imposed $14.3 trillion dollar dysfunction is for Hoover Institute-advised United State mass murder and world terrorism in unconstitutional undeclared wars of congressional choice, never necessity, against CIA-fabricated enemies for fascist gain, population management, genocide by bottom feeders in the Christian right, and ALL levels of organized crime, at the expense of we the Congressionally betrayed and media deceived people, and our Democracy.


Democracy died in our country on October 16, 2002, when sell-out Joseph Biden, pretend Constitutionalist /good Catholic John Boehner, Hillary (Mrs. Taliban) Clinton, John Kerry, Communist China's doll Dianne Feinstein, "worst foreign policy mistake" making gambler's man Harry Reid, 2,798 unplanned murder cover boy Charles Schumer, and 367 other traitors in the 106th Congress authorized the President " to use armed forces as he determines to be necessary," under Public Law 107-243. This fascist law created an elected dictatorship in the White House and installed MARTIAL LAW. If the reader has ANY doubt about this, look at my confiscated horse farm. I am THE most suppressed man in California history! The 3rd unreasonable seizure was personally driven by former constitutionalist Obama.


Yesterday, the organized crime-sponsored Associated Press anonymously reported "Dow Jones industrial average opens 150 points higher after strong jobs report." Reporter Lucia Mutikai, at organized crime-sponsored Reuters came out with "July payrolls rise soothes recession fears." But fiercely independent Standard & Poor's lowered our Congressionally betrayed country's credit rating. You can't fool S&P!


Maybe Congress will return FROM VACATION and void its vague and possibly fabricated "compromise" which, as always, favored domestic enemies who profit from mass murder, human suffering, and conflict now costing we the betrayed people $3 billion dollars per day to murder two Americans and dozens of our earth neighbors each day.


Or maybe our top creditors, Japan and China, will loan us more money for mass murder and terrorism so the rest of the world will kill us for them. Japan will never get over being atomic bombed. Communists hate private property owners.


One thing is certain. We the people can not trust our MARTIAL LAW Congress! When the average American realizes that she or he has been scammed by Congress again, maybe we the congressionally betrayed people will demand cease fires in unconstitutional undeclared wars of congressional choice, never necessity, and the annulment of democracy ending Public Law 107-243, which was authorized by the dirt bags mentioned above, and 9-11 attempted wife killer George war Bush.

Naturally,

P.S.: Google Search: Public Law 107-243.



Scroll down through the b.s. to "Sec. 3. AUTHORIZATION FOR THE USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCE. This fascist law has been used to justify my 17 false arrests and the theft of over $1 million dollars of my hard earned real property by my County of Sonoma, and to destroy over $4 million dollars of my sacred property and to deprive three of my colleagues of motherhood under MARTIAL LAW. MARTIAL LAW is subordinate to constitutional law everywhere in the State of California except against 9-11 Truth Campaigners.


Fix-it Governor Jerry Brown: Where are you? Help we the congressionally betrayed People of the $153 trillion dysfunctional and $153 trillion congressionally robbed and 651 elected dictator murdered Californians from being suppressed by elected dictators in the Oral Office. Sign the attached executive order, or be part of the problem.

Proposed order ending MARTIAL LAW

and the murder of 6 Californians per month:




State of California

Executive Order by the

Office of Governor



On October 16, 2002, 373 members of the United States Congress, including Senator Dianne Feinstein and Representatives Howard Berman, Ken Calvert, David Drier, Elton Gallegly, Darrell Issa, Jerry Lewis, Mary Bono Mack, Howard McKeon, Gary Miller, Dana Roharabacher, Edward Royce and Adam Schiff from California, and President George w. Bush, installed MARTIAL LAW in the United States. They authorized the President "to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary," under Public Law 107-243.



MARTIAL LAW is not in pursuance of the Constitution for, not of, our United States and its 27 amendments. Public Law 107-243, under which Congress authorizes "the President to use Armed Forces" at will, converted the Office of the President of the United States into an elected dictatorship and installed military rule in America without we the people being invaded or suffering domestic violence. As a result, California has been robbed of over $153.9 billion of its resources to fund United States mass murder in unconstitutional undeclared wars, and 651 Californians have been murdered by presidents who have criminally and treasonously used armed forces for their criminal profiteering sponsors.
In our Constitution for, never of, the $153.6 billion dysfunctional and $26 billion insolvent State of California ("CC"), Section 5 of our DECLARATION OF RIGHTS, Article I, mandates: "The military is subordinate to civil power. A standing army may not be maintained in peacetime ."



Congress has not declared war since it declared wars against Japan, Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania in World War II. Therefore, the union of states, including the State of California, is officially "in peacetime." Consequently, it is my duty as the Governor of the State of 651 elected dictator murdered Californians to order that not one cent of California's resources may be used to maintain any army in peacetime. My Office will take action against the United States to recover $153 billion of our public resources which were stolen by Congress for self-appointed commanders in chief and their fascist sponsors. It is also my duty to insure that all public officers in California understand that MARTIAL LAW in the State of California is subordinate to CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. I will use my supreme executive power to annul any action by any public officer in this state who administers martial law in conflict with constitutional law.


Specifically, under the supreme executive power of this State that is vested in my Office under Section 1 of Article V, CC, to "see that the law is faithfully executed," I hereby annul the unreasonable seizures of Sonoma County Assessor's Parcel Numbers 130-180-051, 130-180-049, and 130-180-065 which were confiscated under Martial Law on November 4, 2009, August 25, 2010, and April 21, 2011. I compel the County of Sonoma to quitclaim these parcels back to the rightful owner, John Jenkel. These parcels were taken by the County of Sonoma under the pretense of legal authority in two harassing civil cases. They were seized without court orders under MARTIAL LAW installed by democracy ending Public betrayal 107-243. All of this was designed to terrorize my childhood friend John Jenkel and to destroy his vitally important 9-11 Truth Campaign. I will not stand for it!


SO COMPELLED.
Dated: By_________________________

Governor of California

Request for Help to Make Documentary,
Take Two:



Hey ! If there are people in the WaaccoBB circuit who would be interested in forming a “Cabal,” let’s call it, of five people, to approach John Jenkel himself, and interview him and make a Documentary of him and his spiel, I throw my own hat in the ring as a challenge to all you locals. We need a camera-man, or better yet a Camerawoman! We could also use the skills of a tough, focused Woman who possesses plenty of chuztpa; and who is familiar with, and has interviewing skills on a par with the late Oriana Fallachi (https://www.google.com/search?q=Oriana+Fallachi%2C&hl=en&num=10&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=); and who can get Mr. Jenkel to focus, and stay on track with her pointed Questions.

We could also utilize a Producer and a Director in the Cabal, for said Documentary - tentatively entitled “LAND-GRAB” ... We also could use a digital or video-cam Film Editor, with the skills to polish the final product, and post it on YouTube.

Meanwhile, If you would like to spread this story even further, you may copy the following missive or you may write your own, and post it all over the internet, as I have been doing.

A Newsworthy Under-reported Story



At a time when, in spite of the fact that the "Change" that Barack Obama promised us has failed to come about, and tens of thousands of mortgaged home-owners in the United States are still losing their houses and lands to banks and holding companies every week, Another trend, akin to the Assizes of the late Seventeenth Century in England, seems to have begun in California. We wonder if there are incidents of this happening elsewhere around the Country...

We, the citizens and earth-dwellers on a portion of Mother Terra that Luther Burbank likened to the Garden of Eden; known, Juristically, as Sonoma County, California, United States of America, are witnesses to it.

A very ugly example of ruthless Elder Abuse followed by Arbicide, and what appears to many in this locality to be a politically-motivated, Court-sanctioned Land-grab, has occurred before our eyes, in a very in-your-face manner, on a California State highway designated as a “Scenic Corridor” – a section of State highway 116, just north of the town of Sebastopol, and adjacent to the hamlet of Graton, California. Here are a few Links:

Since this has been, for many of us, a very alarming, eye-opening, and disturbing incident, We, the citizens and earth-dwellers of this region think it is fitting that you, who dwell outside our little fish-bowl of Western Sonoma County be made aware of this incident, for it appears to be political in Nature, and an example of political persecution-by-proxy of an unorthodox maverick, a certain John Jenkel, citizen, self-proclaimed "coachman turned corruption-fighter," and “9-11 truth” dissident; a man who has made himself a thorn-in-the-side to City Hall, and the powers-that-be, by his relentless, eight+ year, one-man campaign for 9/11 accountability.

The Facts of the Matter :




Let us not be afraid to take this issue on, and stay with it, and not “just let it peter out.” Let us establish a Fact-finding Committee. Let us begin by establishing some of the Facts, as they may be ascertained, and are known:

A) John Jenkel was born into a lower-Upper Class family in San Francisco, in 1938. He is a Stanford man; he graduated at the age of twenty-one. He "may be crazy, but he sure is smart." Facts.

B) John Jenkel purchased his original 15 acres on hwy 116, in 1965, at the age of twenty-six, with his own hard-earned money – and with only a little help towards the down payment, from his wealthy father. Fact.

C) All his adult life, John Jenkel has been a hard-working man - as a building contractor, rancher & horseman. He was rich; once, and was, for years, a respected member of the Graton & Sebastopol Community. He raised his children – four of them, in the Community. Fact.

D) John Jenkel has always been – and still is - a registered Republican; from the Secular, Humanist, Constitutionalist wing of the Republican Party. Fact.

E) John Jenkel used to work for the Bohemian Grove - as the driver of his own team of horses; he pulled the Casket in their “Cremation of Care Ceremony” for many years. Fact.

F) In 1998, A young wiz-kid vintner, Paul Hobbs, and his brother Matthew Hobbs, bought nineteen land-locked acres adjacent, and just to the North of Mr. Jenkel’s 15 acres on hwy 116. Fact.

G) The Hobbs brothers approached Mr. Jenkel and asked him if he would grant them an easement through his property so that they could gain access by road to their land-locked 19 acres; allowing them to build a winery – which was represented to Mr. Jenkel as a wooden, Mid-Western style, Barn. Fact.

H) John Jenkel agreed to grant them this easement; asking for no money at all – merely the consideration: 1) That they would leave intact, and agree not to log a grove of sixty trees which he loved, that were one hundred and twenty-five years old, adjacent to his own land, and 2) That they would grant an easement for a Public trail along the northern boundary of their property, that would link a foot-trail from Santa Rosa, with a foot-trail to the Coast. The Hobbs brothers agreed to these terms. Fact

I) On September 11, 2001, Mr. John Jenkel, Republican, gentleman Equestrian, West-County Squire, had a life-changing epiphany – an inciting incident, that forever changed his life: he was able to see through the media send-up of the staged “Attack” on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, and realized that it was “an Inside Job.” Fact.

J) From that point on Mr. John Jenkel became obsessed about the events of 9/11, and a man with a mission. In a manner similar to the way that the late Mae Brussell (https://maebrussell.com/About%20Mae%20Brussell/About%20Mae%20Brussell.html), liberal Kennedy Democrat, saw through the Media version of November 22, 1963, and was galvanized to begin years of Research & activism, exposing the perpetrators of the Kennedy assassination and cover-up; John Jenkel was galvanized by the events of September 11, 2001. He became, in like manner, a compiler of a vast corpus of Information, which he assembled in his study, in a plethora of white binders. Fact.

K) John Jenkel came to the conclusion - through careful clipping of numerous news articles and data from the internet - that some of the favorite sons of Bohemian Grove, notably Ken Lay, of Enron, Inc, and George W. Bush, were behind the planning & execution of 9/11. Fact.

L) In 2002, John Jenkel began to go public, at Peace Rallies and anti-War Marches, taking his Conservative stand against the invasion of Afghanistan, and the Un-constitutionality of Public Law 107-243, to the streets. He began to pro-actively express his First Amendment prerogative, and speak openly in every public forum he could find, and state publicly that 9/11 was an Inside Job, because of which, Public Law 107-243 was the equivalent of a Coup d’etat against the Constitution. Fact.

M) Public Law 107-243 is the Law that gave W. unlimited war powers to conduct unlimited wars against “Terrorism” anywhere on the planet, in violation of the U.S. Constitution. As a Constitutionalist, John Jenkel was opposed, in principle, to this abrogation of the Constitution. Fact.

N) Also, in 2002, the Hobbs brothers cut down four of the trees in the grove that they had promised to protect under the terms of the easement agreement they had signed with Mr. Jenkel. From that time, Mr. Jenkel informed them that he wanted nothing more to do with them. Fact.

O) John Jenkel, having morphed from being a privileged, if lower echelon, & hired member of the Bohemian Grove, to being an outcast, & pariah to the Republican Party top brass, attributed his ostracism to the machinations of Willie Brown. Factoid – to be examined…

P) John Jenkel took his mission for 9/11 Accountability very seriously, and at every opportunity stumped for the Cause, to demand publicly of various elected officials that they get behind his push to repeal Public Law 107-243, and to end Martial Law, and to withdraw the troops from Afghanistan and Iraq… Fact.

Q) He also hired many part-time employees to carry and hold signs and banners with bold statements decrying the guilt of the perpetrators of 9/11. He says that he has spent over one million dollars in this Cause. Fact.

R) By his incessant public appearances, over the course of nine years, stumping for 9/11 accountability, in the Sebastopol City Council, before the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, in the Sonoma County Court-house, and in Sacramento, John Jenkel eventually made himself tiresome to the powers-that-be, even to some of those who had been, in closet, somewhat in agreement with his “good intentions.” Factoid - to be examined…

S) In a similar manner, the local Left, and the Peace & Justice Community, though originally considering him to be interesting, & something of a novelty, eventually tired of him, when the novelty wore off. Through his combative, in-your-face manner, John Jenkel was in part responsible for some of this eventual ennui surrounding his one-man 9/11 Truth crusade.

The "audacity of hype" syndrome also may have contributed to his coming to sound like a broken record to some... Another plausible explanation is the human tendency to despise Cassandras and to stone the bearers of bad news; as well as the Left’s own unconscious shame at being outdone and out-distanced in anti-War zeal by a man they perceived to be of the Right.

In Reality, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality) John Jenkel’s own political path may have led him, unconsciously, to a political position somewhat akin to the camp of the old Jacobin (https://www.jstor.org/pss/650153) wing of the early Republican Party - with Charles Sumner, Wade Davis, Zachariah Chandler, and Thaddeus Stevens (https://www.mrlincolnswhitehouse.org/inside.asp?ID=161&subjectID=2). Hypothesis – to be examined…

T) On the home front, even while he was out on the streets, and in the city councils and Courthouses, fighting the "good fight," John Jenkel found himself being put upon by his winery neighbors, through a series of mandamuses and torts. He retaliated, in Court, with a series of Responses & Petitions; and at home, by lining up a bunch of old junk cars along the driveway of the easement he had granted to the Hobbs Winery, LLP, and placing anti-war and anti-winery propaganda on the rusted hulks of these junk cars. Fact.

U) Somehow – no one who was not present in the Courtroom for all of the pre-trial motions, & hearings, et cetera, et cetera, knows how - John Jenkel was found guilty of god knows what by the Superior Court of Sonoma County, and ordered to pay 350,000 dollars in damages to his winery neighbors, for allegedly damaging some of the trees in the grove they had promised to maintain for the consideration he had requested; for the easement he had freely granted them in the first place. Convoluted, I know; I didn’t make it up… Facts? – Please! - Open to Inquiry…

V) This alleged “damage” was supposedly done because Mr. Jenkel’s well was spitting out sand for a period of seven months one winter, after it had run dry on account of the winery having run the water-table down. Water from Mr. Jenkel’s well supposedly ran down a thirteen degree slope above the trees, and caused one of the trees to fall down. Fact? – Open to Inquiry…

W) The trees – all of them - were cut down, anyway, by the Hobbs LLP, and instead of one “Mid-western wooden barn,” there is a complex of four very ugly steel-beamed buildings that Mr. Jenkel likens to Auschwitz, and calls “Stalag 116.” Fact.


= I agree with him: it does look like Auschwitz. =


X) Mr. Paul Hobbs and his LLP partners, were then able, somehow – again God knows how - to swing a sweetheart deal with the Court and purchase seven acres of what was formerly Mr. Jenkel's land in three allegedly closed to the general public “Auctions” in a back room of the Sheriffs Department, for cents on the dollar. The last piece, a parcel of three acres, was acquired by Paul Hobbs in a closed “auction” for a mere one thousand dollars. – Facts? - Allegations ? – Worthy points of Inquiry, certainly.

Y) Mr. John Jenkel maintains that he has been defrauded of his property and tenements by a Limited Liability Partnership who were willing to be used as a proxy by former governor Arnold Shwarzenegger and his sponsor and financial uncle, Enron investor Warren Buffett in their vendetta to punish him because of his nine-year political career of tirelessly stumping for repeal of Public Law 107-243, and the repeal of Martial Law, that has been in place, ever since the traumatic aftermath of 9/11. John Jenkel maintains that such procedures and land- seizures are inherently un-Constitutional, and could only happen because we are still under Martial Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law). And - lo and behold - Public Law 107-243 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Resolution) is still in effect. Fact.

Z) The Sum of all these circumstances and points - and all of the unresolved Questions that still remain in the minds of many people do merit a worthy Subject for an Open, Public Hearing – and a Committee of Inquiry into all of the allegations of Citizen John Jenkel. Fact. I would encourage everyone who cares about any or all of the points enumerated in the litany Above, to visit the wild old codger, himself.

Bring a Notepad, or a Tape Recorder and ask him a few Questions. And while you're at it, assemble a few Facts, will ya? That way you can acquit yourselves as having the "first-hand experience" that the Yelp Guidelines call for...




Hi inezelia,


We're writing to inform you that we've decided to remove your review of Paul Hobbs Winery. We don't take this decision lightly, and appreciate the seriousness of the allegations in your review. Nevertheless our Content Guidelines ( https://www.yelp.com/guidelines) are very clear in outlining the need for a first-hand experience, and we think this an important requirement for maintaining Yelp as a useful site for consumer reviews. Responding to a news story or other users' reviews falls outside of a core first-hand experience of the business.

That being said, we would never wish to stifle discussion on any of the issues you've raised, and our Talk section ( https://www.yelp.com/talk) may be a great forum for your opinions regarding this incident.

Please know that we review every situation with great attention and take this matter very seriously.
We need Facts, to understand this thing = and the Nature, as they say, of the Beast. We also need first-hand scoping-out of the Scene, as they call it. No mayhem, please.

Let John Jenkel take you up on the roof of his study, where you can see the Paul Hobbs Winery LLP operation in all its Auschwitzian banality. Indeed, the whole operation should be called "Stalag 116" as John Jenkel has termed it. The Paul Hobbs Winery, LLP is a blight on the landscape. Architecturally, die Fabrik is a dead-ringer for Auschwitz.

It only lacks gas chambers, crematoria, smoke-stacks, and the unpleasant odor of smoke.

Seriously,

a few more bits of info gathered in my wanderings;

the painting contractor i talked to when i drove into hobbs land a few weeks ago told me that hobbs bought his first land from jenkel!

the story about the civil suit on the pd watch sonoma county forum is that jenkels new sand filter did malfunction for a few months (running constantly), before it was fixed. this did damage a few of hobbs old trees, though not the one which fell and clipped the winery. most of the 160k hobbs wanted in the suit was for tree removal. judge nadler doubled the ask in the judgement and didn't say why.

negative reviews of hobbs wine on yelp do get removed, but only when flagged by hobbsians. my last one has been up for about two weeks.

when i listened to carrillo at the sebastopol library a week ago he trashed hobbs (he also said he would probably vote again for the massive new winery at occidental and 116 and would judge the merits of "preservation" ranch, a 1600 acre deep rip of coastal timberland for vines, when the eir is delivered). from the county government perspective, hobbs is now the bad boy of grape growers.

i wrote a letter to the pd when hobbs wine was promoted naming paul hobbs as a "bad cork" among sonoma wineries. not published. a recent letter from his winery neighbor was, basically saying, "its not us!"

thanks for keeping this thread alive mark, when is comes to environmental destruction locally, the grape industry is an active force. and water is the biggest issue.

Fir Trees ?



Redwood trees



I recently found out that the Redwood trees recently logged on the property on Hwy. 116 N. were all milled and donated to Ft. Ross. At least a little spark of light!

Does anyone know what ever happened to the milled Lumber that was in the one hundred twenty-five year old Grove of fir trees that John Jenkel requested the Hobbs brothers preserve, as the price of his granting free access and right-of-way across the back-side of his (former) *Land* to their initially land-locked nineteen acres?

* Seven Acres of which, of course, have since been severed, and rendered to the HOBBS Winery, L.L.P., on a Silver Platter.

Convoluted, I know; I didn’t make it up… Facts? – Please! - Open to Inquiry…

V) This alleged “damage” was supposedly done because Mr. Jenkel’s well was spitting out sand for a period of seven months one winter, after it had run dry on account of the winery having run the water-table down. Water from Mr. Jenkel’s well supposedly ran down a thirteen degree slope above the trees, and caused one of the trees to fall down. Fact? – Open to Inquiry…

W) The trees – all of them - were cut down, anyway, by the Hobbs LLP, and instead of one “Mid-western wooden barn,” there is a complex of four very ugly steel-beamed buildings that Mr. Jenkel likens to Auschwitz, and calls “Stalag 116.” Fact.


= I agree with him: it does look like Auschwitz. =


X) Mr. Paul Hobbs and his LLP partners, were then able, somehow – again God knows how - to swing a sweetheart deal with the Court and purchase seven acres of what was formerly Mr. Jenkel's land in three allegedly closed to the general public “Auctions” in a back room of the Sheriffs Department, for cents on the dollar. The last piece, a parcel of three acres, was acquired by Paul Hobbs in a closed “auction” for a mere one thousand dollars. – Facts? - Allegations ? – Worthy points of Inquiry, certainly.

Y) Mr. John Jenkel maintains that he has been defrauded of his property and tenements by a Limited Liability Partnership who were willing to be used as a proxy by former governor Arnold Shwarzenegger and his sponsor and financial uncle, Enron investor Warren Buffett in their vendetta to punish him because of his nine-year political career of tirelessly stumping for repeal of Public Law 107-243, and the repeal of Martial Law, that has been in place, ever since the traumatic aftermath of 9/11. John Jenkel maintains that such procedures and land- seizures are inherently un-Constitutional, and could only happen because we are still under Martial Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law). And - lo and behold - Public Law 107-243 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Resolution) is still in effect. Fact.

I recently found out that the Rdwood trees recently logged on the property on Hw. 116 N. were all milled and donated to Ft. Ross. At least a little spark of light!
Where on 116? Are you talking about near the 101 interchange or the Jenkel property (near Harmony Farm Supply) or ?

If it's from the Jenkel property, I piss on that "spark of light". Property stolen in a back room deal, permits rushed through in record time so no one could have due process on the raping of the landscape in order to expand the vineyards...

...and the only reason this f***er would donate anything is for the tax write-off he'd be receiving. He's bound to rape the land even further...'cause he doesn't give a f*** about anything but money.

When I listened to Carrillo at the Sebastopol Library a week ago he trashed Hobbs (he also said he would probably vote again for the massive new winery at occidental and 116 and would judge the merits of "preservation" ranch, a 1600 acre deep rip of coastal timberland for vines, when the eir is delivered). from the county government perspective, hobbs is now the bad boy of grape growers.

I have to wonder, did the room wind up smelling like the "Sonoma Aroma" after he finished speaking? Did you have to wipe the cow dung off your trousers? Paul Hobbs will simply make a significant "contribution" to the re-election campaign, and Efren will be bought and paid for - and listen to his puppet master and vote what he's told to vote. Notice the "probably" - gives him wiggle room in case Mr. Hobbs does make his "contribution".

Having Efren Carrillo "judge the merits" of Preservation Ranch is very much like having a fox judge the tastiest chicken in the coop contest...

...he'll NEVER vote against big business, or the monoculture of wine.

i went there to check out carrillo, having not met him before. i was impressed, smart, well spoken, willing to take risks, comes across as caring about people. not so much about the natural world.

pretty clear he intends to vote for preservation rip. his take on hobbs was a possible redo of scenic road regulations. jenkel, no mention. when i asked him about the elephant in the room, the black industry of indoor grow, sucking increasing juice off the grid, prohibition insanity, he was stimulated and mostly clueless. a local power company? this guy does not have it to make this happen. oh well...
