RE: California lawlessness is not remotely just migrant labor nor an Ag Industry Problem
California lawlessness is a multi-vectored problem involving white-collar organization in industries parallel to — and even opposing — agriculture.
Proposed B2B Boycott: All Monterey County agriculture products (targeted at processors, distributors, and retailers), escalating quickly to all California agriculture if needed. A California tourism boycott would follow only if necessary.
Dear Monterey County / California Agriculture and Tourism Stakeholder,
This is an initial outreach regarding a proposed national and/or global B2B boycott of California agricultural products. The campaign will be geared to processors, distributors, and retailers, while also informing consumers. As you know, it is the middlemen who ultimately determine whether your business thrives or stalls.
Empathetically, U.S. citizens deserve a lawful society. Lawlessness wrapped in a faux legal industry is not civilized living. When some unilaterally declare federal and state laws “unjust,” it invites others to do the same. The copycats have grown so numerous that even you may now be shocked. California is suffering from a systemic law-nullification disease that is spreading and harming other states now. It must be stopped.
Practically, many companies remain unaware of the political oversight loopholes and faux legal system that have expanded since 1974. Businesses are fleeing California in droves, often citing the visible socio-economic climate. But those following the statewide corruption story since 2021 and many others prior understand deeper governance failures are driving the exodus.
Below are the key vectors where lawlessness currently reigns in California. Agriculture is the largest beneficiary, but it is far from the only one:
Agriculture (corporate scaling): Relies on a flexible (lawless) labor environment, particularly illegal migrant workforce dynamics, to maintain dominance. This creates pressure against strict enforcement. ($11.7 billion total economic contribution, supporting 81,000 jobs)
Tourism/Hospitality: Requires low-cost labor but avoids responsibility for supporting it. ($3.1 billion visitor spending, 27,000 jobs)
Real Estate Brokerage: Brokers use problematic “industry-approved” contracts while pushing development on ag land (often clashing with farmers over water and contamination issues). The attorney/judge ecosystem profits from sustained disputes. (~$1.8 billion in Monterey County sales volume, generating ~$92 million in commissions annually)
Broader Corporatism: Banking, insurance, import/export, oil, defense ($4.9 billion impact), health care (~23,000 jobs), and related sectors benefit from the regulatory capture enabled by FPPC/SEI-700 failures.
County Governance Apparatus: The attorney-heavy “internal law firm” structure (5 supervisors, 20+ judges, 20+ County Counsel attorneys, $1.8 billion budget) taxes and regulates the others while protecting the status quo and non-disclosure patterns.
State Governance & Legal Industrial Complex: Led by figures who openly favor lawlessness; includes civil attorneys, judges, and immigration attorneys who sustain disputes and optional enforcement and seemingly even County Counsels are actively supporting state level legislative frauds.
Illegal immigrants needed for current farming and hospitality practices are largely pawns in far larger white-collar systems. The real drivers are politicians, attorneys (as “officers of the court”), and the Attorneys at the FPPC — the very body created by the 1974 Political Reform Act to oversee economic interests.
The FPPC’s SEI-700 instructions since 1974 have allowed politicians to conceal primary residences, second homes, and spousal information while demanding disclosure of trivial gifts. This is not oversight — it is a distraction system. Improperly implemented E-filing has further broken the chain of custody, enabling “bifurcated” filings (different data submitted to county vs. state).
In the past 30 days, as public scrutiny increased, the FPPC altered its website: downgraded reporting (from clean lists to scattered tiles), broke its complaint system (which now admits it “does not work”), and caused outward-facing emails (e.g., complaints@fppc.ca.gov) to bounce. This is a deliberate digital moat around the controlling capstone.
I discovered the path to the FPPC and these systemic failures while investigating real-estate contract fraud and related commercial issues in multiple white-collar industries — none of which involved immigrants or farmers. When I raised those concerns with Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church starting in January 2024, he showed indifference and responded evasively. A subsequent SEI-700 audit revealed his bifurcated filings (different fact sets to county vs. state), a shocking amount of concealed facts, and apparent intent to mislead local auditors.
The e-filing system breakdown and incomplete data that should never have been accepted exposed a deeper clerical coup: the FPPC, county clerks, and others tacitly ended the pre-stamping review process and document chain of command for the public’s most critical oversight tools.
I have now formalized complaints with the Monterey County Civil Grand Jury, DA, CA AG, FBI, CA DOJ, and US DOJ Public Integrity Section. Additional dialogue this week will further expose Monterey County Counsel’s handling of issues related to Contractor related elder abuse and damage of county property with no proper policing or concern.
After four years of investigative work, I have launched monterey-county-examiner.com and california-examiner.com as public auditing examples and templates for other counties and states. When local media fails, citizens must step in — but without a functional enforcement arm for political, legal, and judicial corruption, stronger tactics become necessary.
California was founded as a Republic. Electing representatives who face no real duty to disclose material economic interests is not republican governance — it is kleptocracy or corporatocracy.
The goal here is to correct California’s law-nullification behavior and/or prevent it from spreading further into other states. The Agriculture industry is the largest economic player that brings attention to the state while generating the most in taxes that are feeding this beast. It has the clout to force correction. I am an ex-robotics engineer, an organic food advocate, and a vegetarian. I don’t like all the chemicals and plastics in strawberry farming or any of the food for that matter. I don’t like strawberries that have white centers. I’m interested in automated farming, but all of that is way beyond the scope of this dialogue. For now, I would prefer to help execute a short-term “de-inversion” at the FPPC before the next election cycle.
30-Day Notice: Attached and linked below is additional documentation (including the full “Monterey Oversight Failure Synopsis” with timeline, pyramid diagram, and evidence). Please reach out within the next 30 days with concrete suggestions for how the agriculture industry can drive radical, verifiable change at the FPPC — or make obvious improvements we cannot miss. If meaningful action is visible, the boycott request will be delayed. Otherwise, the B2B campaign will proceed as the only remaining option.

Below is a list of concerns related to Politicians that should never exist in a “regulated republic”. Can you spot the problems too?
There are politicians and a portion of the medical community swearing children should be able to pick their gender without parental involvement and undergo permanent body mutilation campaigns before puberty. What type of entity typically advocates for that type of thing?
There are Politicians like California State Senator Scott Weiner , an openly gay man with concerning looking S& M photos -- who is working with School Teachers who are making 6 figures a year -- to encourage elementary and middle school kids to “hate ICE” -- while ICE is attempting to use existing Federal Laws to keep us safe from some savage criminals. What type of entity typically preys on kids that way while advocating for the open opposition to existing federal law, before they understand what federal law even is?
There are politically connected “someones” paying $1 to $5 to skid row dwells for ballot signatures while a Politically elected judge rules Eric Swalwell is not disqualified from the CA Governer race, even though there are zero facts showing he has any residence in California. What does that and why?
There were “politically connected someones” who have been openly flouting Federal Marjuanna growing laws for decades in Mendocino County. Who gets to do that and how?
And the list could be a mile long...
For citizens and businesses that want, need, or prefer a lawless society for their own personal profits, “life” in a cruel world is as good as it gets, right? But what about “the rest of us” ?
To date, “the rest of us” have tolerated all of this. Not because we wanted to, but because we could NOT figure out how to leverage our desire for “middle of the road” living as opposed to various extremes.
But what happens if we’ve gained the information needed for leverage? What if we have levers in place now to demand change that is due to us, as a reasonable majority?
If you were us, would you continue to sit back and watch anarchy and lawlessness control the playground because “it was the courteous thing to do for a group of amoral and immoral others who pursued different profits”?

Below is a list of the current state of affairs in California that no other single individual seems to have compiled yet and notice how NONE OF THIS LAWLESSNESS has to do with the Ag industry directly.
CA DRE - California Department of Real Estate is not properly overseeing the Realtors. The Brokers are using “industry approved contracts” that indicate contracts are to be ratified BEFORE seller disclosure documents of condition are given to buyers. (thus nullifying the contract formation and reliance process in a way that screws everything up). The contracts are also misrepresenting As-Is sales and they have a clause in the contract that suggests a buyer must accept all known defects at time of contingency release, not just defects disclosed prior to forming a contract. This inversion started in the late 1970’s and was put formally into play illegally in 1985. It was done to protect the brokers and their sellers -- the only commission paying party -- as well as to create “bread and butter” business for all civil attorneys in CA. It’s estimated well over 1 TRILLION dollars in contracts have been improperly formed since 1985 for the benefit of all but the buyers.
CA Bar - California bar is not properly overseeing attorneys who are engaging in real estate dispute cases with broker / brokerage contracts that obviously violate CA Constitution.
CJP - The Commission on Judicial Performance is NOT holding judges accountable for proper behavior when the real estate Brokerage and Brokerage contract fraud is exposed in court.
CJC - The California Judicial Counsel is not enforcing rules from 2007 related to making digitized civil court records available to the public via internet. Of special interest and need now is all records related to real disclosure estate fraud. They also are not mandating search systems that allow constituents to search records by Attorney Name nor systems that allow for state wide searches when in fact many are in the same system now. We need to find the law firms that have been profiting the most from this and the brokerages using their own in house attorneys the most for this.
CSLB - The Contractors State Licensing Board is not holding contractors engaging in pre-sale work for brokers and property sellers responsible for fraud by claiming they need not investigate because there was no contract for work between the contractor and the harmed buyer (the exact time when their services are required the most)
SPCB - The Structural Pest Control Board is not holding inspectors responsible for engaging in fraud during the home sale preparation and escrow inspection process (and non real estate sale related sales fraud schemes)
Home Inspectors - The home inspectors are not a regulated industry but they are not being properly held accountable by the local County VA judges are no are still elected at the county level supposedly but they are in fact now state employees due to court consolidation and so the oversight of the judges is also now at the state level and we've covered all of this in investigative journalism and particles so this isn't new to you or to our publishing but now if you you can see where the ftpc oversight is just one EPs and a bunch of other over some that's at the state level that's not working that's creating a county that is Lawless
CA Dept of Insurance - the CA Dept of Insurance is not holding Contractor Bond companies accountable for honest representation of dispute handling. They will suggest they are to open any claims against contractors -- yet they will then claim if there is no finding of guilt from a court or theCSLB -- they can not pay out -- which means their advertised investigation services are fake.
