Angry SF Occupy Protesters Storm BofA Office, Pitch Tent

Yesterday I wasn't at my office at 50 California Street so I didn't learn until this morning from the The Bay Citizen that my office building was under siege by San Francisco occupy protesters and riot police.  Late afternoon, around 100 people stormed the ground floor Bank of America office while pitching a large tent to occupy it.  A couple hundred others sat in the street outside the building.

"Sgt. Michael Andraychak, a spokesman for the San Francisco Police Department, said that when the officers who were outside attempted to enter the bank, a group of protesters surged forward, pinning a lieutenant in a doorway and several other officers against the bank's windows.

Protesters threw bottles at officers, shouted 'Get the police,' and attempted to grab the officers' batons, Andraychak said. At least one officer said protesters attempted unsuccessfully to take her gun." - 95 Arrested After Protesters Pitch Tent in Bank - Bay Citizen

Because the bank is a private business that is open to the public, the bank's manager had to sign a citizen's arrest form before the police could take action. The adults who were arrested were transported to county jail, issued misdemeanor citations for trespassing, and released.

The Latest Face On Mars Discovery

It's amazing how people are locating unusual images on Mars from Google Earth.  The first face on Mars was over a Viking 1 photo taken in 1976.  Discovered years later, the face intrigued millions and numerous books were written about it such as by NASA's former Richard C. Hoagland.

This latest discovery was by Matteo Lanneo, an Italian surfing Google Earth's Mars data. He discovered the strange face at the Google coordinates  Latitude  33°12'29.82"N, Longitude  12°55'51.21"W.  Here's a link for those who may want to download the program to see the images on Google. Matteo's unsure if the photo's an optical illusion or real sculptured face.

Richard C. Hoagland discusses the Face on Mars explaining what happened following years of its discovery.

Here is the second face on Mars discovered back in 2001 that a press conference was conducted for in New York.

The announcement of the second face on mars was made by Tom Van Flandern, a former Chief Astronomer for the United States Naval Observatory, who is president of Meta Research based in Washington, D.C., Brian O'Leary, a former Apollo scientist-astronaut trained for America's first manned mission to Mars, and Michael C. Luckman, director of the New York Center for UFO Research.

In addition to the second new face on Mars, they also released photos claiming there were strange tube tunnels seen on the Martian surface.

At the press conference, they said series of glass-like tubes measuring 60 feet in diameter with exposed 1,000 foot sections and other artificial structures, are proof that Mars once was inhabited by an intelligent civilization.

The first face on Mars also was alleged to have evidence of a civilization similar to Egypt's built nearby known as Pyramid Cities.  An interesting site to see all the math calculations and other photo evidence can be found here.

Finally, there's a face on Earth many people haven't seen yet I thought I'd throw in here of an alleged native American. 

Apple should consider doing an advertisement with the iPod for this image because it appears the Indian has an earbud. 

If you'd like to check out the image, the coordinates are 50° 0'38.20"N 110° 6'48.32"W in Google Earth.  This image was discovered back in 2006 and is located in Canada.

I Miss Good Music! Boz Scaggs, Toto and All Kinds of Great Bands Are Truly Missed

I feel bad for the young people of this day and age who in my opinion have a lot of soulless commercial garbage to listen to. In comparison, here's some of the music I spent my money on beginning in 1976 when I was 16.  Well worth the investment, it was real music back then with real talented musicians, not synthesized loop trash!

Yup, I had the Boz Scaggs Grammy album Silk Degrees the late drummer Jeff Porcaro played on, one of the most influential drummers of all time.  Jeff eventually played with Toto as one of the most sought after studio drummers in the music industry.  They say Jeff Porcaro influenced music as a studio musician from the mid 1970's through the 1990s up to when he died from a reaction to pesticides in his garden. After he died, Michael Jackson gave tribute to Porcaro on his Thriller CD notes since he had played on four of Jackson's tracks including Beat It.  Jeff Porcaro was so huge I remember hearing about his death in 1992.

I haven't heard this Boz Scaggs 1976 song Georgia in over 30 years!  I miss this music.  For some reason I rarely listened to the meaning of lyrics, I only listened to music.

Toto was one of my favorite bands and Jeff Porcaro my favorite drummer of all time. They were real musicians and singers back then.  Several of these band members played on Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees album.  Jeff Porcaro played on several Michael Jackson Thriller album tracks.  Note the suspenders? I remember having the stylish 80's suspenders too.

Written by a Canadian Police officer in 1973, back when they were normal guys, not brutal thugs. This is one of the  most performed songs in all of Canadian music history by a Vancouver group named Skylark.  Notice they weren't singing about ho's back then.

This was one of Michael Jackson's underrated songs, a Stevie Wonder composition.

They could really sing back then and had musical talent like this band Ambrosia. They weren't that stereotypically attractive and some of these guys looked a lot like girls, but they were very talented nonetheless, not like many of today's over commercialized performers.  This band was one of my favorites cause they had great vocals and musicality.

This guy Christopher Cross was very lucky to rise to the top of the charts, he had a strange voice and his success was attributed to his music producer and Michael McDonald's background vocals. Still, I liked this song and remember sailing to Catalina and in Marina del Rey listening to this Christopher Cross music.

As someone raised on this kind of music, rap music is horror to my ears and I'm not the only one who feels this way. Many are aware of how special it was when these truly awesome musicians played from the heart, not just for money.  You can hear it in their music, it wasn't all about money.  Many of us who grew up in that 1970's and 80's era will never forget these awesome performers and they will live forever in our memories as timeless. 

A Senile Judge Lovelace Threatens Violence, Steals Children From Parents

I've posted crazy judge rulings on this blog, but this one takes the cake.  An obvious senile judge is shown in the videos below giving reasons why he wants to take a divorced couple's children, simply because they "don't get along" and "others want children all over the country."  This is an example of the crimes committed by the Nazish U.S. Family Court system in violation of the Constitution.

“It has been over two months since the children were taken and there has been no hearing as the law requires,” she continues. “This is because they already ignored the law when they took the children, so why have a hearing? We are awaiting a decision by the Kentucky Court of Appeals on a writ that my daughter filed. This should scare the hell out of parents everywhere.” - Judges Now Grabbing Kids in Divorce Cases - PrisonPlanet.com

Caution: The sound opening on the video is loud and distorted. Regardless, well worth watching a judge's injustice in action:

The beast senile Judge Lovelace speaks from three chins.

This demonic beast Judge Lovelace threatens violence in a court of law!

This video shows beautiful happy kids prior to the court dispute.  

Obviously the judicial system isn't managing its senile and dementia ill judges very well, making victims out of many innocent children and their parents in the United States. It's really nothing but child trafficking.

"As Melinda Pillsbury-Foster and others have documented, state CPS units grab children and treat them as commodities to be sold. 'The CPS steals children using the system paid for by citizens who believe it is being used to protect those in need. That is a fraud,' Pillsbury-Foster writes, 'the system actually pumps money into the personal accounts of all those involved in the system, converting children into cash while destroying them and their families. The number of children who emerge from the system, able to function normally, are near zero. Some are never seen again.'” - Judges Now Grabbing Kids in Divorce Cases - PrisonPlanet.com

One person's comment:

This judge needs to be removed from family court. I think he is in the early stages of dementia or maybe he has always been crazy. I hope there is someone in the Kentucky judicial system who overrides this travesty of the law and see that this family has their children returned immediately.
This is disgusting!

My advice to the family is to get out of Kentucky if they can or at least find a county there where the judges adjudicate the law according to the US Constitution.

How sad!

Happy Binary Veteran's Day 11/11/11 - Feds Planning For Possible Draft in U.S.

Much like asteroids visit the vicinity of our earth every few hundred years, here comes a rare binary date configuration of 11/11/11.  This date is as rare as it gets and only comes once every 100 years. In fact, the last time this date came around was November 11, 1911. Coincidentally, the temperatures on that day in the U.S. fell a jaw-dropping 60 degrees in a single day.

Needless to say, due to the unusual date configuration many around the world are looking for something special to happen, others are making something happen: 

"But like many odd dates, everyone has some odd prediction for the historic day. In fact, Egyptian officials have decided to close the Great Pyramid of Giza over fears that 'strange rituals' may take place, according to Breitbart." - HuffPost.com

 Interesting video about 11/11/11. 

Many have chosen to mark this historic day by having their wedding. 

"'This has given a lift to Las Vegas' wedding-related businesses up and down The Strip, where at least 100 wedding chapels are promoting 11/11/11 packages.  Logistically, it will be a challenge, but a lot of fun,' said David Nye of the A Elvis Chapel, where 40 couples were expected to exchange vows on the day. That's compared to the chapel's average of 40 a week. 'It's been pretty spectacular and has given us a tremendous boost,' said Aimee Stephens of Chapel of the Flowers." - Thousands Flock to Vegas for 11/11/11 Wedding - MSNBC.com

Since this is also Veteran's Day I wanted to share I heard from various credible sources that if Israel does indeed attack Iran as many are claiming, there will most definitely be a draft in the U.S. in order to defend Israel from retribution.  Gas prices would also double or triple and the world would be turned into absolute chaos.

Speculation over a potential Israeli attack on Iran has circulated via media reports and governmental agencies, and was heightened following the release of an IAEA report this week that portrayed Iran as a major nuclear threat. According to a United Kingdom foreign official, an attack on Iran by Israel could take place as early as next month. A senior Foreign Office figure told the Daily Mail newspaper, “We’re expecting something as early as Christmas, or very early in the new year,” adding that Israel will attack Iran’s nuclear sites “sooner rather than later.” - UK Foreign Official Predicts Israeli Attack on Iran in a Month - New American

In any event, I don't see how today's young men in the U.S. could possibly participate in any war against their will on behalf of another country such as Israel.  The U.S. government will never get most of its citizens to cooperate involuntary to die on behalf of Israel and its reckless unjustified decisions. Instead these citizens will simply turn against the U.S. government.  Period!  The Feds can dream on planning for a draft.

Hit the Road Jack! Why N3 Notary Services Sucks In San Francisco

It's very rare that I write a post addressing a conflict related to my notary public business in San Francisco. I know this won't cause much interest for typical visitors of this blog who usually visit to read all kinds of interesting stuff I write about but I really have no choice. I must set aside what I would normally write today to address this issue of out-of-state businesses stealing business from the San Francisco local community mobile notary publics undercutting our fees while delaying payment for 30 or more days.  

You see, as a mobile notary public I don't go to other states stealing other notaries' local business from them.  I perform my services within a small 10 mile radius of San Francisco.  So when businesses such as N3 Notary Services based in Portland Oregon begin calling on me to perform heavily discounted mobile notary services for their San Francisco business clients they are essentially stealing potential clients as my competitor as well as my mobile fee.  N3 Notary Service clients actually receive no discount because N3 is simply stealing half of my fee in the arrangement while causing me to wait 30 days for payment.  In other words, they're nothing but a pain in the rear.  In fact, clients may very well be paying N3 Notary Services more then what I would have charged them directly.

N3 Notary has called me twice recently while insulting my intelligence requesting I sign a contract and perform their pathetic $20 mobile notary jobs I would normally charge $40 as the typical rate in San Francisco.  Not only are they asking I get half my rate, but they take 30 days to pay, if at all.  What N3 Notary Services is essentially doing is attempting to make a $20-30 commission off my work, something they should be ashamed of because they're not at all needed in this market.  We don't need N3 Notary Services in San Francisco, we have plenty of local notaries here to do this work without these out-of-state businesses trying to get commissions off of us. All a local business owner has to do is call me and I would be able to accommodate most all of their mobile notary needs.

N3 Notary also requested I sign a contract agreeing not to solicit its clients, in other words, steal them away for myself asking that I not hand out my business cards.  This is my town! This is my city where I've lived 17 years.  How dare these Portland people steal business from this market and undercut the notary mobile fees attempting to make a commission on our work?  I responded by explaining I couldn't possibly sign a contract honestly because I would most definitely take N3 Notary's clients from them.  I urge all other local notaries to do the same.  

Unlike Portland Oregon, San Francisco's cost of living is far higher as are its state taxes.  In my opinion it should be a crime for these agencies to take business away from local notaries this way.  Notaries typically use agencies for loan signing work they coordinate with title companies, not for these dime and nickel jobs they should keep their noses out of.

Other Issues Mobile Notaries Deal With - 90 Day Past Due Invoices

The other issue mobile notaries have to deal with is when agencies, such as the one I recently dealt with in Walnut Creek, CA, give us the runaround for months upon months to get paid for our work.  I checked with the title escrow companies and this particular agency got paid in a timely fashion for my work but didn't pay me for 90 days.  Even then the agency sent a post dated check so when I went to deposit it, the bank refused.

Any agency that seeks to take business away from local mobile notaries such as N3 Notary has should be immediately pegged as unethical.  We notaries service our local community and don't need these out-of-state businesses seeking commissions off of our work over these one notarization requests. Assigning loan refinance work from title companies is one thing, but attempting to take away local businesses from us for small mobile notary jobs is just plain stealing in my book.

I'm not asking that San Franciscans give me and other locals their business simply because I'm a mobile notary near to them. I'm simply asking that they consider the harm these out-of-state businesses do to the local community robbing us of revenue in a high cost of living city and highly taxed State of California.  Why give your business to a Portland Oregon based business that merely in turn calls local notaries when there are mobile notaries in San Francisco 15 minutes away who are highly networked  in the community?  


For these reasons, I ask that potential clients in San Francisco please choose local mobile notaries for their mobile notary service needs.  Everyone knows how to locate their community notary in Google, it's not brain surgery.  Notary publics use various listing services that are too numerous to mention.  To choose an out-of-state notary service, one would have to likely make a conscious choice to rob local notaries of their well deserved income.

Most importantly, please don't give out-of-state business to those who obviously don't reinvest in our local community.  I take my income and reinvest much of it into the local San Francisco community while these people in Portland Oregon simply don't.  I pay all kinds of businesses in San Francisco in turn that stimulates the local economy.  This Portland based N3 Notary Services should stick to their own local economy and notaries instead of feeding off of another city they're genuinely stealing from under these circumstances.

For those who may be thinking, "what's she complaining about, it's just typical capitalist competition she's dealing with", that's not so.  If your local mobile notary can't afford to stay in business the community suffers for it one way or another. We mobile notaries go to hospitals, senior homes and to elderly folks who can't leave their homes. We're desperately needed in our communities.  We also go to families homes who don't want to have to drive to a bank office to perform their refinance signings. I always try to make the borrowers' experience signing loan documents as pleasant and painless as possible.

Please always consider using a local community notary directly prior to contacting an out-of-state business such as N3 Notary Services.  It would make all of us here in San Francisco very grateful and happy. Thank you!

A Call to Arms: San Francisco mobile notaries who have any brains whatsoever should turn down all non-loan signing work from N3 Notary Services that's seeking to steal local business clients and undercut their fees significantly.

'Close to You' Asteroid Reminds Us How Fragile We Are

This is exciting because for the first time since 1976, the Earth will rendezvous closely with a large celestial body hereby christened on this blog the 'close to you' asteroid.  Tomorrow asteroid 2005 YU will sweep by Earth at 3:28 PM PCT Tuesday, November 8th, giving astronomer enthusiasts a thrill of a lifetime.  This particular asteroid last visited earth 200 years ago.

The quarter mile wide asteroid will be so close that it will pass between the earth and moon!  Just think what a rare event this really is, to have such a large object come so close to earth. I love these astral events because when they occur it reminds people on earth of the bigger picture of the universe they belong.

"It is the first time since 1976 that an object of this size has passed this closely to the Earth. It gives us a great -- and rare -- chance to study a near-Earth object like this," astronomer Scott Fisher, a program director with the National Science Foundation, said on Thursday during a Web chat with reporters.

The orbit and position of the asteroid, which is about 1,312 feet (400 meters) in diameter, is well known, added senior research scientist Don Yeomans, with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "There is no chance that this object will collide with the Earth or moon," Yeomans said.  - Reuters

Some are wondering if the asteroid will bring any debris with it that could possibly cause fireballs to appear in the sky.

Asteroids don't get much attention compared to planets and stars. They don't have the same flashy features, such as Jupiter's red spot, Saturn's rings or the ice volcanoes of the moon Enceladus. But while they may be small, asteroids, along with comets, are the only celestial objects that can hit our planet. And they have hit us many times in the past, sometimes with life- changing results. - Another Close Call For Earth - CBC.ca

 Asteroid Aftermath-Dinosaur Extinction - Discovery Channel

Indeed, asteroids can be a dramatic life changing event to reset and affect evolution on earth. Had it not been for an asteroid hitting Earth millions of years ago, dinosaurs would still roam the planet and humans may not have ever emerged at all.  Asteroids can be beneficial in the long term while being very destructive in the short term clearing out the old and bringing in the new.  Regardless, life always finds a way to overcome death and destruction.

College Bubble Crisis Set To Change America Forever

This is a must see for all Americans. Times are a changing, the old education system is quickly deteriorating.

This outstanding video on the college bubble went super viral and received 2.5 million views since May, 2011. 

From attorney Matt Weidner's blog:

You think Fraudclosure is bad….well hold onto your hats because you ain’t seen nothing yet.  The coming war over student loan debt is going to make Fraudclosure look like a lazy warm up for an Ironman race. (more on that later)

The economics and politics behind student loan costs and inflation are far more disturbing than the sub prime bubble.  College tuition has increased more than 5% each year over the last 5 years, with other costs (like textbooks) continuing to increasing exponentially.  The class of victim preyed upon in the student loan scam are necessarily not as sophisticated as those who engineered the system against them.

Now the reality for most students is utterly impossible….they’ll graduate school hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt….debt with creeping interest rates…debt that cannot be bankrupted and….as a practical matter, debt that can never be repayed.

Total student loan debt in this country will exceed $1 trillion dollars…..and thanks to the magic of compounding interest (and a declining economy) it’s a debt that this country can never be repaid!

And just like the subprime loan boom, the same players exist in student loan…..Fannie Mae, meet your cousin Sallie Mae!  And then lurking right below the surface are all the banking players who are siphoning off the interest and fees….for the rest of the student’s life! -Fraudclosure is Nothing. .

Judge William Adams Faces Public Outrage Over Video of Beating Daughter Who Has Cerebral Palsy

In just another example of a psycho judge I've posted throughout this blog, Judge William Adams of Rockport Texas is facing the public's outrage over a viral video his daughter uploaded of a brutal beating from seven years ago.  The sweet soft spoken young woman, whose disabled with cerebral palsy, finally broke free of her abusive father  from years of harassment, then posted a video that's since gone viral.

Matt Lauer seems a bit up tight in this interview to say the least.

As can be expected, this self-justified judge, who sits over child and juvenile cases, doesn't believe he did anything wrong.  It's likely due to their unchecked positions of authority that many of these judges lose a common sense perspective between what's right and wrong. 

"We were made aware of the video last night and it has been assigned to our criminal investigation division. An investigation is ongoing at this time," Rockport Police Chief Tim Jayroe told The Huffington Post.

The seven-and-a-half minute clip, which has nearly a half-million views, shows a teenage girl being brutally beaten with belts by an older male and female. According to a description of the clip, the girl has ataxic cerebral palsy and is being punished for "using the Internet to acquire music and games that were unavailable for legal purchase" at the time. - Judge William Adams Beating Of Teen With Cerebral Palsy Sparks Outrage - HuffPost.com

This is exactly why judges don't like the Internet since it can quickly expose their evil deeds to public scrutiny.  The majority of judges want complete control over what's placed on the Internet.  Needless to say many including myself believe this judge should be removed from the bench.  Judge Adams is clearly mentally ill and in need of psychiatric help.

Woman Who Sold Dime Bag of Marijuana Given 10 Year Sentence Had No Prior Convictions - Criminal Justice Failure

This is an updated repost from March, 2011.

As someone who grew up in the 1960's and 70's when pot was a common drug used en masse at parties and rock concerts, it's shocking to read about stories such as the one I'm posting today.  I believe this is a huge fail for the criminal justice system.

The American justice system is looking for any excuse to incarcerate Americans these days. As was reported by News Oklahoma, back in 2009 an Oklahoma woman, Patricia Spottedcrow, 25, and her mother Delita Starr, 50, neither with any prior convictions, were hard up for cash.  Spottedcrow was a worker in a senior home facility.  A mother of two, Spottedcrow sold a small dime bag of marijuana to an under cover police officer for $31.

Because two children were in the room when Spottedcrow sold the drugs, a now retired judge of Kingfisher County, Judge Susie Pritchett, thought it worthy of a 10 year prison sentence.  The judge claimed drug dealing was a way of life for the mother and daughter duo in spite of the fact the mother had a job working at a senior care facility.  So let me get this straight, these are hard core drug dealers?   These are the people we train those with criminal justice degrees to arrest?  If they were a major drug operation, you know the government would have had more on them then this case. The fact the government couldn't produce any further evidence of hard core drug dealing makes the judge statements baseless.  It was a first time offense!

The grandmother Delita Starr claimed the cases have been “blown out of proportion” by lawmen and criticizes the sentences as stiff.  “It shocked me and we cried for days,” she said. In addition, Starr was fined $8,600. News Ok.com

So lets get this straight, times are getting tough for many people, and especially those with children, thanks much to the government's wasteful policies, tax payer bailouts, mortgage fraud and billions of dollars in fraudulent war mongering.  A mother makes a mistake in desperation as such and the judge has the audacity to give her a 10 year prison sentence?  People who committed manslaughter have received lesser sentences.  White collar criminals have received far less sentences who embezzled thousands of dollars from their employers as I've denoted on the Fraud Talk Blog in my various posts the past few months.

As I've stated previously throughout this blog, the court system is out-of-whack.  I would like to call on the ACLU to help this poor mother appeal her sentence. This is an example of how police officers and the judicial system work against good common sense to burden tax payers and people who make small first offense mistakes.  Our government is clearly looking for any lame excuse to incarcerate Americans and we must be vigilant to prevent this obscene pension hungry monster from running amok like this.

It's interesting to denote how many hundreds of thousands of dollars tax payers will have to pay to have the luxury of incarcerating Ms. Starr for the next 10 years of her life over a $31 pot transaction. Obviously the government isn't operating in the best interests of the tax payers under these circumstances.  In fact, I beg to say those judges and police officers across the country who are raping tax payers with their obscene pensions can be considered criminal as such.
