Tom Cat, arthunter & all,
As usual, I've got to stand on a few soapboxes here. While I do live with much regret; I am never ashamed at expressing the truth of my experience. Especially with so many serious crimes and such great physical and emotional harm already done to many - known, not speculated.
The Press Democrat called me a Carrillo critic. No, I'm a defender of justice; only a "Gadfly" or critic to those on the wrong side of it.
I knew Susan and Eric K. from the locals' coffee shop morning crowd in Graton long before Efren ran. Her demeanor, then as now, was not at all suited for any job dealing with the public to the degree as a Supervisor's aide. You have to deal with the best and worst of a lot of people; hard for anyone to do well. Especially one like her, compounded with having to cover for and propel him.
This is not about my personal judgment, which I am not shy about. My truth is, I have never viewed Susan as a bimbo; which I define as dumb & overtly-sexual. I find her smart in a malicious way; not in a benevolent, greater good one. I did not have the occasion to ever see her flirting. (BTW- I did attempt to be friendly with Susan, Eric, and Efren when I first met them.)
One of the responses to the rape and everything traumatic after was, I lost the will to be kind to mean & harmful people; folks with evil in their eyes. I may have justified anger in mine, but I do not seek violence or revenge - this is not what justice is.
My truth be told - I'm not good yet with giving forgiveness without the offender's acknowledgment of the grievances, and owning the responsibility.
This is one of the best tools I've found for getting through lifeshocks. www.moretolife.org/ Good for everyone, and an excellent addition to AA, etc.
I could really use a refresher course. I'm still raw from dealing with the deep grief from the loss of my daughter, the obstruction of justice in our cases, which relate to Efren's. This is about my family's personal well being, and just as important, it's about the future of the social and environmental well being of the entire 5th district & beyond.
It's about demonstrating how long I have been correct in many conclusions; especially when the Press Democrat, community members & others have spread lies about me, and called me the liar; including the Press Democrat's SC BOS "reporter" - in public regarding my child's death!
To top that off, the Editor - Paul Gullixson, refused to meet with me so I could demonstrate my evidence to back my claims. These are in many forms, which don't all fit in a letter to the Ed.
Dance with the Devil, or fight 'em? I introduced myself to Doug Bosco at a recent Santa Rosa City Council meeting - a Sonoma Clean Power one. I'm always willing to consult/inform anyone if it helps us build a healthier present & future. We all have the power to effect change with what's not working when we're clear on what heals or harms.
Often running from, or fearing the truth does more harm than confronting it & correcting what's wrong. Remember Clinton was recalled for the lie, not the sin.
Here is but one vital issue at risk with our current equation - our water is being exported by how many cases of wine per year? Who else has been asking this question?
Did the Press Democrat report that I asked that after the recent USGS groundwater forum? Of course not - it's in the Public's best interest - not their investor's. The USGS leader of the forum said this vital fact in our water security is not being calculated. (My words - he just said no in answer to my question.)
I'm at risk for being one of the few leading the charge for a wine grape & other water intensive, non-organic ag & development use permit moratorium in Sonoma County regions which have no groundwater study and management plans in place.
(FYI - Rohnert Park's plans are off the chart in hedging their bets on unsustainable growth to pay for water/sewer infrastructure expansion to accommodate the dreadful casinoworld. No surprise the casino is up to it's ears in advertising buys with most all the media here to curry favor. Just saw a Graton casino ball cap and tee shirt sales booth already in the SR Plaza. Looks like a tragic remake of Back to the Future II without the time machine. Maybe there is still hope here.) www.facebook.com/pages/Stop-Graton-Casino/304162052096
How many pounds of bee & fish killing herbicides and pesticides going in OUR air, soil and water under Efren's reign, and possibly Gov Brown's new pick's - which they are not measuring the full consequences of?
Unless we preempt the regulations, soon the drones will be spraying over our heads for these non-organic crops. I'm one of the few brave ones sounding the alarms and taking heat for it. WaCCo, etc. are vital to our course correction before too much more damage is done.
Just this week field workers were rushed to the hospital after being sprayed by a manned pesticide dispensing plane. What further risk is there from a remotely controlled one? Plus the indicator species are in peril from toxic agriculture chemicals; think we are immune?
Scientists find farm pesticides in Sierra frogs

Is this kind of legacy what you voted in because you paid no attention to long winded folks like me, and the rest of us truth-to-power, “tin-hatter” people?
And another thing...just saw a blurb about Monsanto buying the current version of Blackwater - marriage made in hell!?! Must be cheaper than renting them.
Regarding the black helicopter comments - I was surveilled and photographed by one as I gathered signatures for the GE-Free Sonoma County ballot initiative years ago, (we did have the permission of the manager of the home improvement store up on Bicentennial).
Hobbs and others using round-up and how many other poisons, claim to meet the State requirements for acceptable limits. Are those limits adequate? Still, silly conservatives & moderates want to gut the nearly toothless federal EPA!
Will the industrial wine grape and tourist taxes claimed by our county and cities pay for your family's medical care from this round-up, etc. exposure? What about the next 7 generations?
Will the Federal, State and County Supervisors who voted for these conditions help you detox from these poisons? Will they provide the affordable healthcare you'll need for your body's burden of herbicides, fluoride & GMO’s? Even if you don't eat food with GMO's you may inhale the plant's genetically modified pollen; as do the dear bees.
Efren's recent arrest is one is one several crimes I have a detailed knowledge of. This puts me at further risk. That's why it's been essential I go public with it. So many others in the justice & law enforcement system are enabling this, and getting away with crimes and misconduct of their own. Having kangaroo courts leaves only the town hall for a source of justice.
Yet another person in this drama circle has cited being assaulted by the SRPD for un-accused reasons in the last 48 hours. We are not safe when public safety is as much in need of a real investigation as the accused.
For some of the same reasons as Carrillo, Paul Hobbs Winery & Sonoma County area rapists (mine and those of several Latino women) have been able to remain as documented and potential repeat offenders under this Sonoma County's DA's direction. Some of them were never even charged, let alone put before a jury of peers.
This must change; too much is at stake. This rises to the level of Grand Jury and Attorney General investigations. Are they kangaroo too? Not if enough of you demonstrate your oversight.
The State AG must act honorably now to earn your vote for whatever seat she seeks next. Remember, Willie Brown has hosted at least one of her fundraisers. Do his reservoirs of contributions come with corrupted, slimey strings?
Sadly, as a Democrat, I have found little reason to have faith in our Governor. I think he may be part of the team who helped Efren up the ladder for toxic allies.
Nevertheless, I'll offer to advise him too. I'll do it for he and Obama in exchange for paying for my health care benefits. That is - the wellness-care program I/we could help them initiate.
As in the Zimmerman case; sometimes the only way things gets changed is when the public outcry is loud enough. Sometimes even that is not enough.
Have you had enough?
WaCCoLeaks is one of the most transparent paths to justice we have. What are your non-violent efforts to resolve these things beyond just commenting here?
I'll be the first to tell you I'm far from perfect; but I will also make corrections when I find my conclusions are incorrect (eventually); or if I notice my actions are out of line.
Don't shame me, or others for speaking truth to power and the masses. Please don't censor or deny anyone the chance to daylight their truth - Barry & everyone. Sometimes keeping it real isn't pretty.
It was very easy for most folks to be used by, hoodwinked, or benefited by Efren & Susan; they're very skilled. Unfortunately I experienced and knew too much, before, during and after their election.
Susan and Eric & Co. worked together to bring Efren the money & non-environmental white folks votes needed to supplement his Latino base. Just enough well-stuffed bank account holders used the young Latin man to overcome the 5th District's not-broad-enough base of Progressive voters.
For surely the Progressive candidates would have installed checks and balances on land and water use, which may have impinged on the gold rush of relplacing trees, food crops, wildlife corridors and scenic views for chemically sprayed acre after acre of wine grapes, not table grapes. I'd bet many, many non-progressives wished thay had not squandered thier vote in hindsight.
(Please don't mistake this for rascist - it's not, just demographics. I neither have a grievance for those fortunate enough to have honestly and responsibly gained and used great wealth. Just take issue with thoses who do at the expense of our inheritable future.)
Efren and Susan are free to challenge any posts here. This is not behind their back, nor the PD's.
Because someone outed my source of Efren's previous crime to his attorney Chris Adrian; my concerns for my well being have expanded to others. Going public may be the only way to stop the harm and indimidation tactics.
I don't use this bulletin board to gossip. I use it to inform and compel our community members and businesses to learn and share optimal ways of: living, working, playing & emergency preparedness. Sometimes to learn from my mistakes, or theirs. Can't always get there without the raw truth. Often the truth hurts, especially if the wool is removed too swiftly from one's eyes.
Too bad the tempo has had to be moved to such sad, serious issues.
So I'll close on a sweet one, and some sage advice for those in charge - i.e. all of us.
Our active duty civic member, SabastaCat, gleaned enough awesome peaches and GRAVENSTEIN apples to nourish me for a long while! (Thanks again SC.)
There was at least one more important comment I made that the Press Democrat SC BOS "reporter" failed to mention during the Sonoma Clean Power Board meeting last week, (which Efren had to miss, though his excellent alternate, Susan Gorin made it, as did the only 2 Santa Rosa City Council members there - Wysocky & Combs - who happen to be the best picks for SR's SCP Board seats).
Much to her credit, it was Supervisor Gorin who called for transparency at the SCP meeting, suggesting they hold their meetings in a place which could televise them on the public access channels, such as Santa Rosa City Hall or the BOS chambers.
The solutions for a successful Sonoma Clean Power utility & abundant state & local economy are simple and tied together.
Not long ago, California was the world's 6th largest economy. CalPERS is one of the world's largest investors. Why are their board members racking up costs by flying around the world to mind investments overseas, when the rewards for investing truly clean & deep Green in our own backyard, with large and small CALIFORNIA business owners has a huge multiplier effect???
Pensions are not really the problem, ethics & priorities on the local, state and federal level are. Fund local, Made in the USA & CA renewables, not dirty, risky fuels here nor abroad. No fracking land or sea. No unconstitutional wars for oil & gas - ever again!!!
If California is bold enough to step up, or even secede - we can let our nuclear power and weapons (safely) rust in peace!
The radiation from Japan is not getting better, and is not stopping its flow in our direction. Both Japan, the US and CA need to act ASAP to end this madness and remediate the damage; end the cycle of avoidable danger.
This is why we cannot have in place elected officials who repeatedly fumble, falter, and think with their privates in a boozed, and/or drugged haze. Nor government employees & other electeds who enable it by covering it up.
Let's see this Wacko West County, 5th District & all the rest, lead this state and nation to better days for everyone. At least 99.5% of us; the rest need rehabilitation & time behind bars to reflect on the harm they've done.
To everyone who stands of for the truth, no matter how hard it is; and requires those who swore their oath of office to abide by it, Peace Voyager is in deep gratitude and says -
PS Please do our County a favor. Tell Sonoma Clean Power board & BOS chair David Rabbitt, along with all the Supervisors & the Santa Rosa City Council that you request Susan Gorin replace Efren Carrillo on the SCP Board now, not later; and vote Julie Combs & Gary Wysocky onto the SCP board at their next meeting.
Either City of Sonoma's Mayor Ken Brown, or Laurie Gallian would make good choices too. I like them both, though I'm not sure if the conflict of interest re:her husband's employment with PG&E would be an issue. She and I served on the Community Climate Action Plan together so I feel her heart and head are in the right place.
