RE:          California lawlessness is not remotely just migrant labor nor an Ag Industry Problem.

California lawlessness is a multi-vectored problem with White Collar organization in industries parallel to and even opposing the Ag Industry

Proposed Commercial Boycott of all Monterey County Agriculture followed by all CA Agriculture,  because the Ag Industry is the only one with enough clout to correct the damage done by the 1974 Political Reform Act and the FPPC, and because the Ag Industry is currently the largest beneficiary of a lawless CA at this time

Proposed Commercial Boycott of CA Tourism Industry would follow if needed.

Dear Monterey County / California Agriculture and Tourism Stakeholder -

This is an initial outreach letter related to a proposed National and/or Global Boycott of California Agricultural products. It is being conceptualized as a B2B boycott campaign that will be directed to processors,  distributors and retailers, with both an “empathetic” and  “practical” component. Consumers will be informed too, but as you are aware, it’s middlemen that make your business tick or not at all.

Empathetically, US Citizens deserve a lawful society. Lawlessness with a faux Legal Industry in place is not civilized living. The desire to uni-laterally declare some Federal and State laws unjust invites others to do the same. When you see the level to which the copycats have grown, it’s expected even you will be shocked. California is now carrying a deadly sexually transmitted disease called “lawlessness”, it’s spreading in ways that harms other states, and it must be stopped one way or another.

Practically, many companies unaware of the Political oversight loopholes and faux legal system that have been growing since 1974 in California will be shocked by recent reporting. Companies are leaving California in droves and most thought it was due to visible socio economic climate -- but others who’ve been following along on a statewide corruption story since 2021 know some may have chosen to scram before the game was called.  

Below is a list of vectors where lawlessness in California is King right now. Agriculture is the largest benefactor, but it’s not remotely the only industry.

With this it’s easy to see “illegal immigrants” needed for current farming and hospitality practices are but pawns for far larger and more complex white collar fraud systems -- and that brings us to the State and County Politicians, Attorneys (licensed as “Officers of the court”) who are supposed to be managing this mess, and the FPPC which is supposed to be overseeing all Elected and Appointed Officials and those seeking to influence them.

The FPPC was created via the 1974 Political Reform Act. It is staffed by Attorneys who are supposed to be the “game makers” and “referees” in this game of California Commerce.  

The problem --  The instructions given to Politicians by FPPC Attorneys since 1974 for SEI 700 form completion stated the Politicians need not disclose primary residences at all, nor second homes meeting many conditions, nor the names or incomes of spouses also employed in civil service -- all  while an excessive amount of instructions exist to make sure they disclosed miniscule gifts.

That’s not an economic oversight system. That’s a faux system for distraction that has been growing unopposed since 1974.  

Then it gets worse. With the advent of e-filing County Supervisors were allowed to e-file separate data to the county and the state. The chain of custody on disclosure documents was lost. (exemplified by Glenn Church - exposed more later). Who does that and why?

Then it gets worse.  In the past 30 days, as the light shined brighter on the FPPC, they changed their website, they downgraded their disclosure document reporting system calling it an upgrade, they broke their complaint submission system, and all their outward facing emails like complaints@fppc.ca.gov are bouncing.

That is about partnering with a Technology Vendor to create a “digital moat” around the capstone to fight off the battle that is about to ensue.

Rugby is a violent sport. Imagine that with one eyed referees who secretly pass out brass knuckles. That’s what’s transpiring now with California disclosure document referees, it’s gone too far, and the Ag Industry has grown into the position now to be the one to correct the FPPC game or lose it all.

I found these FPPC problems via a series of discoveries listed later that indicated the entire California Real Estate Brokerage industry and 7 related industries including the legal lobby and Judiciary itself were lawless.

These weren’t immigrants and they weren’t farmers or hospitality workers. These were white collar professionals in multiple different companies all acting in decentralized but organized fraud.

When I raised these concerns with my local County Supervisor, Glenn Church, he showed no concern while responding in evasive ways.

That caused me to do an SEI 700 document audit (an audit of his economic interest documents), and in 2024, 2025 and 2026 Church engaged in “bifurcated” filing -- he presented one fact set to the county and a totally different fact set to the state via a separate e-filing process that should never have been available to him. From the data it’s obvious he sought to mislead and frustrate county auditors in a way he knew state auditors would not tolerate. At this time it’s presumed he never thought anyone would check his state filings or that they were not available to the public.

The illogical process that Church exploited indicates the FPPC, County Clerks and Clerks of the Board had all tacitely agreed to end the “document chain of command” for county and state filings on the most important documents needed by the public to oversee political economic interests in a Republic.  

That led me to look into the 1974 Political Reform Act which created the FPPC and instructions for SEI 700 forms -- where the initial problems were disclosed and the rest was explained prior.

No Republic typically survives a legal lobby driven clerical coup that large, and at this time it’s unclear if California will either.  

So, what’s been exposed is 1) a fully lawless system of community and society in all the largest industries 2) a broken Political oversight system since 1974 3) accelerating corruption at the FPPC in the past decade and more in the past month and 4) everyone in the largest industries and on the democratic side of the aisles is now actively promoting the “optionalism of law” more ferociously monthly with seemingly no understanding of a collapsed marketplace via boycott if needed.  

The process to expose Glenn Church, his Bifurcated Filings, the Monterey County Clerks, Environmental Health, Permitting, Social Services and the FPPC have all now been formalized with complaints to the Monterey County Civil Grand Jury, the Monterey County DA, the CA AG, the US DOJ for CA and the US DOJ Public Integrity Unit, but how many of you believe any of those are actually working?

There is other dialogue due back this week that should expose Monterey County Counsel for fabricating facts while ignoring serious elder concerns related to Contractor Fraud and destruction of county property.  

But without the support of others who have the clout to fix this, that work is for naught and that is not something I have any further interest in enjoying.

I’ve done the hard work over the past 4 years to provide the leverage needed to execute a de-inversion.

To share that work I have created and launched the https://www.monterey-county-examiner.com/  . Furthermore, I’ve created the https://www.california-examiner.com/  as an aggregating station for people in 57 other counties who may want to use the Monterey County Examiner website as a template for public document auditing and local investigative journalism. When the local media fails others have to step in. That is being done now, but without a respected and functional enforcement arm, other tactics are required.  

California was formed as a Republic. Electing representatives that have no duties to constituents to disclose material economic interests is not part and parcel of any Republic.  That is about kleptocracy, corporatocracy, anarchy, or one of many other lesser forms of governance.  

When you need a big state wide fix you go to the biggest statewide player benefitting and ask them to correct things using leverage that is relevant to them.  It’s a simple concept but often overlooked by those who don’t understand leverage  or don’t take the time to nurture it. I happen to be an ex robotics engineer and an organic food advocate. One way to change dramatically has already been pioneered in China. I’d be glad to help out in that area if needed, but that is not the “short term fix” that is needed to correct the FPPC prior to this election cycle.

Attached you will find some additional information. It should help frame some of my experiences and thoughts on this more. Please reach out in the next 30 days with suggestions for how the Ag industry can bring about radical change at the FPPC or just make it obvious you all are making changes we can’t miss -- and the request to boycott will be delayed. Otherwise, it’s all that’s left to pursue.
