There comes a time when a California labor lawyer must choose which state or federal agency to file a complaint with for a client's age discrimination, and a California labor attorney has a tough choice. Equally tough are the short statutes of limitation a labor lawyer in California has to file age discrimination complaints.
If you've been the victim of age discrimination in California, visit our website at http://www.CaliforniaAttorneysLawyers.com and call us at any of the numbers easily found on our website.
Congress passed the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967 to address the practice of employment discrimination against older workers, and especially to redress the difficulty such workers face in obtaining new employment after being displaced from their jobs. It applies to employers with 20 or more full-time or regular part-time employees for each working day, in each of 20 or more calendar weeks, in either the current or preceding calendar year.
But for most California labor attorneys and CA labor lawyers, the choice of government agencies to contact to file an age discrimination complaint, much less for their clients, is a maze of confusing acronyms. The time limits to file such complaints are also hazardous to both the clients and their California labor lawyers.
The ADEA prohibits discrimination in employment against workers age 40 or older and makes it unlawful for an employer to discharge any individual or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his or her compensation, terms, conditions or privileges of employment.
The Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), can and are willing to investigate such matters jointly, though one agency will usually take the lead.
The Supreme Court has made it significantly easier for the elderly client of a California labor attorney to prove age discrimination. Disparate treatment may be proved by circumstantial evidence. Where an employer has already hired significantly younger women to replace a person over 40 that they have fired, this evidence may be persuasive.
Where the employer has obtained any waiver of rights from the fired person, even a valid ADEA waiver does not affect the EEOC's rights and responsibilities to enforce the law.
With the DFEH, the fired worker need only make an appointment to begin the process. The statute starts to run when the employee files a claim. With the EEOC, once the employee or the employee, with or without the assistance of a California labor lawyer, files an intake questionnaire and an affidavit describing the discrimination, the filing requirement will be met with the EEOC, after which the EEOC will notify the employer of the filed charge. Any further disparate actions taken against the fired worker after the ex-employee begins the process will be considered retaliatory by both agencies.
The ADEA incorporates the enforcement and remedial provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). FLSA remedies include awards for backpay, reinstatement or front pay. The amount of front pay may be affected by the lack of availability of employment opportunities open to the fired employee. In addition, the employee may be entitled to an additional amount in liquidated damages upon establishing that the employer's actions were willful. Indeed such an award is mandatory upon a finding of willfulness.
If the ex-employee is successful in his or her ADEA case, she may also recover attorney fees. Employers who think they can prevail and obtain attorney fees themselves are incorrect, as a California labor attorney might tell them, as that is not the case. The ADEA does not authorize fee awards to a prevailing defendant.
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act also prohibits age discrimination in employment and its remedies are in addition to those with the EEOC. With the FEHA, the fired employee is also be eligible to receive damages for emotional distress as well as punitive damages. The FEHA applies to all employers with five or more employees. And as with the federal rules, discrimination based on age over 40 is prohibited.
Should the employer take any retaliatory actions against the ex-employee for filing a claim with the EEOC, the DFEH, or the Department of Industrial Relations, each agency prohibits such actions and will consider them to be further violations of the law.
So where should a California Labor Lawyer file his or her client's claim if they have been the victim of age discrimination, harassment or retaliation? And how long do they have to file it?
Age discrimination complaints can be filed with the DFEH, with the EEOC and with the Department of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) but are most commonly filed with the DFEH and the EEOC.
With the DFEH, the interviewing consultant drafts a formal complaint. If the complaint is accepted for investigation, the complaint is also filed with the EEOC. After the DFEH issues an accusation, the DFEH may litigate the case in a public hearing before the Fair Employment and Housing Commission. If emotional distress damages or administrative fines are sought, the employee can have the case moved to a civil court. If the case is moved to court, the DFEH prosecutes, but the complainant is the real party in interest.
Government codes section 12965(b) requires that individuals, with or without their California labor attorneys, must exhaust their administrative remedies with the DFEH by filing a complaint and obtaining a "right-to-sue notice" from the Department before filing a lawsuit. The DFEH, however, will accept requests for an immediate "right-to-sue-notice" from persons who have decided to proceed in court. A DFEH complaint must be filed within one year from the last act of discrimination or you may lose your right to file a lawsuit.
Once a "right-to-sue-notice" is received from the DFEH, the employee and his or her California labor lawyer, has one year to file a civil lawsuit. Failure to do so may again cause you to lose your right to sue.
Common mistakes by harassment victims are not telling the person doing the harassment to stop, not documenting the harassment by that person, not reporting the harassment to your superiors, not making sure the employer is taking action to end the harassment, not obtaining medical or psychological help when needed, not realizing that retaliation is illegal, accepting the word of your employer that you do not have a case for harassment or discrimination, not filing a DFEH, EEOC or DLSE/DIR complaint within the time allowed, not having an attorney assess whether any arbitration agreement is binding, and not consulting with an attorney.
A complaint to the EEOC under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 must be made within 180 days from the date of the incident. This period, however, is extended to 300 days if the employee also files a complaint with the DFEH. Complaints of discrimination commonly include discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, sexual orientation and retaliation or reprisal. That time period, however, can be reduced to as little as 30 days after a complainant receives notice that a state agency such as the DFEH has terminated its processing of a charge. It is thus best to contact the EEOC immediately whenever discrimination is suspected because of its short statutes of limitations.
In addition, many governmental agencies require that for an employee or applicant for employment to preserve their rights under EEO laws, they must contact an EEO Counselor within 45 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory action. There are exceptions and grounds for extending this period, but a complainant does not want to be in a position to be having to argue those grounds as the complaint may be deemed too late to be accepted.
Once a complaint is filed with the EEOC, if the EEOC finds substantial evidence of discrimination, it will file a lawsuit. If the EEOC does not find sufficient facts to support the complaint, it dismisses the complaint and issues a "right to sue" letter to the complaining party. A lawsuit must then be brought by the complaining party within 90 days of receiving the Right to Sue letter from the EEOC.
A much less publicized and less known agency in the State of California at which complaints for retaliation and discrimination can be filed is with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) of the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). An employee or job applicant alleging violation of any law under the jurisdiction of the Labor Commissioner must file a complaint with the DLSE within six months of the adverse action. Adverse actions include unlawful discharge, demotion, suspension, reduction in pay or hours, refusal to hire or promote and other actions. There are, however, some exceptions to the 6-month deadline, but again, it is best to file a complaint as soon as possible to ensure that it is timely.
Filing a complaint with the Labor Commissioner does not prevent a person from filing a private lawsuit. While it can be costly to hire a California labor lawyer on an hourly rate to file such a lawsuit, some California labor attorneys will handle the case on contingency.
Finally, an employee or job applicant who alleges retaliation for having complained about a workplace health or safety issue has the right to file a concurrent complaint with the federal OSHA within 30 days of the occurrence of the adverse action.
Having said all of that, it is clearly within the jurisdiction of the EEOC to enforce the Age Discrimination Act of 1967 which protects against discrimination against people who are 40 years or older. The shorter time limits one has to file a complaint with the EEOC, however, causes many to file complaints with the DFEH instead. And for the most part, most people don't even know about their rights to file complaints with the DLSE.
An advantage of filing with the EEOC, is that some applicants find that they also have a valid complaint under the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the laws of which are also enforced by the EEOC (although California also has an Equal Pay Law). The EEOC also enforces the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as amended in 2008 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

As a result of the first bill signed by President Obama, women finally have a much greater chance of receiving pay that is equal to what men receive for the same work from an employer. However, it is still likely to require the filing of numerous lawsuits before employers come to grips with the fact that they can no longer get away with paying less money to women.
On January 29, 2009, President Obama signed into law, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, the first bill signed into law by the President paving the way for these lawsuits to require that equal pay be given to women, by way of seeking back pay awards for the difference they were paid and what men were paid for the same work.
If you have been discriminated against in your employment in California by receiving less pay for the same work performed by persons of the other gender, even though the statute of limitations has been extended by this Act, you still need to speak with a women's rights lawyer or an employment attorney as soon as possible.
If you are a woman and you've been receiving less pay than men are receiving for the same work from the same employer, visit our website at http://www.sebastiangibsonlaw.com and call us at any of the numbers easily found on our website.
Prior to the Act becoming law, as a result of a Supreme Court ruling, women were required to file suit within 180 days after first being paid unfairly, even if the discrimination of being paid less than male workers in the same jobs continued.
And if a woman failed to discover that male workers were being paid more for the same work, a woman still could not hold her employer accountable if she didn't learn of the unfairness and take action within 180 days of first being paid the lesser rate.
Under the Fair Pay Act of 2009 signed into law by President Obama, the statute of limitations of 180 days starts with each discriminatory paycheck, rather than when the employer starts to discriminate. So long as a woman in CA files her claim within 180 days of receiving any discriminatory paycheck, not just the first one, she is considered timely in bringing her claim.
An important aspect of the Act is that the effective date of the Act is retroactively set at May 28, 2007, which will allow it to apply to all compensation discrimination claims that have been filed on or after that date.
Women can sue for back pay awards for up to two years before she files her employment discrimination claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Fair Pay Act of 2009 does not change the two-year back pay limit.
The Fair Pay Act is a major victory for women in California who have long been discriminated against in the pay they receive for the same work that men perform and are paid substantially more in many places. It has been determined that women have been earning only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns. This Act will likely go a long way in addressing that unfairness, although it will likely require a good many lawsuits to hammer this home to employers who discriminate against women in their pay guidelines.
With the signing of this Act into law, initial victories in CA against an employer will likely lead to settlement of other lawsuits for co-employees who have been discriminated against in the same manner by the same employer.
Those who would say that the Act will lead to the employment of less women in such positions by employers fearful of such lawsuits simply don't understand the anti-discrimination laws in this country and the greater risk employers would be taking if they adopted such a discriminatory stance in their hiring practices.
Even with the retroactive effect of the Act, employers in California may be slow to increase the salaries and hourly rates of their women employees until lawsuits begin to fly. Employers who have previously gotten away with discriminating against women in CA may only react in more numbers when they begin to feel the full weight of the law themselves or see large judgements against other employers who have discriminated against women.

The votes in favor of the bill in the Senate included every Democratic senator except Senator Edward Kennedy who was absent because of his health, and all four Republican women senators. Every Republican male senator except Arlen Spector voted against it. If that won't come back to haunt the Republicans in the next election, it is hard to imagine what else they will do to alienate themselves more from the women's vote.
Under the Act, an unlawful practice occurs when a discriminatory compensation decision or other practice is adopted, when a person becomes subject to the decision or practice, or when a person is affected by the decision or practice, including each time wages, benefits or other compensation is paid.

What I need to know in high school to become a lawyer?
I'm going into my sophomore year of high school and everyone's asking "What are you going to do after high school?" Well I want to be a lawyer, specializing in Employment I think. I live in Fresno, California. What do I need to know while i'm in high school, and after high school?
ALL information is appreciated.
Hi Jess,
I hope you have much success in life. Getting into law school is the first step to become a lawyer. Law school is a three-year program of full-time, concentrated study that leads to the JD degree. You usually need a college degree to apply for law school, but sometimes exceptions are made for special students. To get into law school, your next step is to take the Law School Admissions Test, affectionately known as the LSAT. The LSAT test does not focus on law or legal concepts, but on logic problems and puzzles, which test your ability to reason logically.
After you graduate from law school, and after you pass the Bar Exam, you will be licensed to practice law in your state.
If you want to know a little more about what law school is like, here's a good source

Understanding Your Contract
As a business owner, one of the things that you have to be familiar with is the various labor laws. Knowledge of this set of laws can ensure that you treat your employees fairly and that you and your business are protected from any possible lawsuit as well as payment of fines and penalties. Knowledge of these laws would also be of great help when you are forming your company’s policies and procedures.
Under federal law, if you would be doing business in Colorado, you can hire anybody for the job that you have provided that you do not base your selection on physical and personal characteristics such as age, sex, religion, race, national origin, and disability. Aside from this, you are also warned against asking personal questions that concern the marriage plans or status of the applicant, their sexual orientation, and the presence of previous arrest records.
In the state of Colorado, the at-will employment rule being practiced by most states is limited by two legal principles. According to the principle of public policy, you cannot fire an employee for performing a legal duty or exercising a legal right. On the other hand, the principle of implied contract established employment relationships based on an implied or expressed contract. This means that handing out a personnel guidebook can be seen as a solid establishment of an employer-employee relationship.
In order to ensure that the at-will employment does not become a disadvantage to your company, your contract law attorney will most likely advise you to provide a clause in your contract that sets down the terms on how both parties can terminate the said contract, including how much grace period should there be before the termination takes effect.
Attorneys Denver Colorado have would also advise you that, should there be a need to terminate an employee, you can still be held liable for defamation if you make a negative or damaging statement about an employee to a third party. Although there are a number of defenses available for you, it is still better that you keep from giving out such statements.
There are a number of commercial attorneys within the state of Colorado who can help you determine how you should go about hiring and firing employees. As long as everything is done in good faith and you have proper documentation, you may not have to worry about lawsuits.

Denver injury and civil rights attorneys interviewed on CBS Haystack
First time dwi conviction in late 2005. I completed my terms of probation almost immediately...80hrs comm. service, MADD/DWI classes, fines, alcohol/drug screening (passed), steady employment, I've reported to my PO every month w/payment, etc., etc. The entire process has been a struggle emotionally and physically; of course, I deserved it for the night I tried to drive home drunk. It's affected my employment eligibility despite my having no prior records, great skills, good manners, and a college education. I've learned a hard lesson the hard way...but I feel like 2yrs probation is a lot; especially considering probation is designed to make probationers fail. What I'm wondering is that in three more months, when I've completed half of my probation term, is there any way to get my probation terminated early for good behavior? And is this ever done through a PO instead of a lawyer? I'm in Texas & our laws are strict. Please no lectures...
thats the state of texas for yeah. careful next offense is 25 to life. lol

BCG Search
BCGSearch has take attorney placement and recruiting far beyond what is expected of people. We all assume a certain level of professionalism and standards but BCGSearch sounds too good to be true. BCGSearch updates legal careers seven days a week throughout the entire year. Not one day goes by when BCGSearch doesn’t find at least one available position open to bring to the public’s attention. If you are sick and tired of your current legal employment then you should start your new life - and that is by investing in BCGSearch (you won’t be disappointed you did).
BCGSearch places attorneys inside law firms - that is BCGSearch only purpose. BCGSearch does not do in-house attorney placements, does not place contract attorneys, and does not place legal secretaries or paralegals. It is very important for a company (no matter what they sell, promote or manufacturer) to be up front on what they can’t and can do for their client. BCGSearch is straight forward and 100% honest in what is offered.
BCGSearch is headquartered in Pasadena, California, with offices throughout the United States. BCGSearch is CareerMission's smallest attorney-placement company. BCGSearch prides itself on being the biggest, smallest guys on the block - and for good reason.
With the market taking a downward spiral over the last several years, BCGSearch has remarkably had success in the legal placement market despite the downward turn. What does this mean? This means that BCGSearch recruiters still maintain a certain level of commitment and dedication even when the market says “You should fail.” If BCGSearch can succeed when the market is down, what will happen when the market bubbles back again?

Harrison Barneshas taken a simple idea that was previously done, legal recruitment and placement, and turned the volume way up on it to level that can’t be ignored. People have ideas all the time. Those who can take that idea and improve upon it are those individuals who have even greater success perhaps.

You won’t have to worry about costumer service because BCGSearch has outstanding recruiters who will be your right-hand men (and women) to find you a quality legal career in your desired location if possible.

There are several other legal forms depending on the type of case that you have, that the lawyer may ask you to sign. Next, the Massachusetts Personal Injury Law Center will begin an initial investigation to determine both the facts and the circumstances that gave rise to your injuries and the nature of the injuries suffered. In certain situations where necessary, we will hire private investigators to collect information, and, following the investigation, your attorney at the Massachusetts Personal Injury Law Center will send notice claim letters and letters of representation to the person or company responsible for your injuries and attempt to establish communication with their insurance company. From here, we will engage in exchanging information with the representative or insurance company of who caused your injuries. After we have received and evaluated all of your medical records and bills from your doctors or health care providers, we will assemble a settlement package and send it to the insurance company to first try to settle your case out of court. If the claim cannot be settled, or, after consultation, you are not happy with the settlement offer, then your attorney at the Massachusetts Personal Injury Law Center may file a lawsuit in court or file a demand for arbitration or mediation to try to resolve your case, after discussion with you. Once a lawsuit is filed, the case may take a year or more to reach trial. While the suit is pending, your attorney will continue engaging with the opposing party, including provoking any further settlement offers and undertaking discovery, which is a further investigation of the facts of the case. If necessary, the Massachusetts Personal Injury Law Center’s experienced trial counsel will proceed through a jury trial or bench trial, arguing on your behalf in order to achieve the best possible outcome for you. After you receive your FREE Consultation and Case Evaluation, if you decide to proceed, our attorneys with the assistance of our personal injury paralegals will conduct a detailed interview concerning your incident, your background and any relevant factors to the case. You will also be asked to sign authorizations so that the attorney may obtain the medical records and employment information in the case of lost wages. Under the laws of Massachusetts, a hospital or doctor is prohibited from releasing your medical records or any information regarding medical care without a written authorization signed by you. Our attorneys will also review with you and have you sign a contingent fee agreement which explains the terms of the representation. In addition to the pain and suffering experienced from being injured, dealing with insurance companies and the legal system on your own can be frustrating, overwhelming, and discouraging. Our main priority is to win your case. We use aggressive negotiation and trial tactic strategies, relying on our techniques to ensure the most effective action on your behalf. Because the facts and goals of each legal case are different, we will tailor our approach to achieve the best possible resolution for you. Our attorneys and support staff are here for you. A simple call puts you in contact with a committed, friendly, local attorney who will handle all aspects of your case and work hard to help you get what you deserve. We will fight for your rights if you have suffered at the hands of another. Our lawyers are extremely responsive and available to provide a free consultation to you regarding your case immediately. Uninsured Driver – Where the at-fault driver is uninsured, it can be difficult for a person who is injured in a car accident to obtain a suitable recovery. In Massachusetts, drivers carry “uninsured motorist coverage” through their own automobile insurance policies so that they have a source of recovery in the event that the other driver fails to carry insurance or cannot be identified. Underinsured Driver - Similar to the uninsured driver, some drivers carry inadequate insurance coverage, often at the minimum level required by state law. Insurance Company Bad Faith - When people make claims with their insurance companies, they sometimes run into difficulty with the insurance company’s refusal to negotiate the claim fairly. In Massachusetts, and other “no fault” states where drivers insure for their own accident-related medical care, it can involve the improper denial of coverage or reimbursement by the insurance company. Personal Injury Lawyers fight for the future well being of their clients. In many cases, success or failure of a case determines the financial, emotional and physical well being of their clients, and therefore we will do everything in our power to succeed for you. If you have been injured or are experiencing physical or mental pain due to the negligence of someone else, the Attorneys here can help you obtain the resources you need to ease your suffering.

Help me with some leads or maybe some Law Firms that is willing to hire a Paralegal/Legal Secretary with just only my certificate or an Attorney thats needs some help receptionist,legal secretary,paralegal something remeber I only have my certificate I'm in the Detroit area also Thank you for your help and support.
Start with entry level positions like any open receptionist or even file clerk or mailroom in a huge firm. Depending on your school you might be able to get placement assistance. If you lived in a few other places, entry level level jobs can be easy to find if you have a very professional appearance and demeanor, even with zero training. You need national certification to get a very good job, not just educational certification....They are 2 different things....
Good luck!
Firm Tackles Tough Labor & Employment Litigation with TERIS
I work for a large company that is in financial trouble & they have announced that they will be closing quite a few locations and will supposedly be offering full time employees who are "laid off" a severance package commensurate with tenure. However, some locations have already begun closing & it appears they are using frivolous reasons to begin writing up & firing the full time employees to avoid paying severance while simultaneously screwing those same individuals out of the possibility of collecting unemployment. I would like to know if this is legal (sadly, I'm sure it is) and if there is anything I can do when they come after me....not if, but when. Also, I am in Texas, an at will state.
If they're writing them up (so as to give the employee the blame for the firing) all one would have to do is prove that the company has announced that it will close several locations (and therefore needs to downsize its employee base.) Keep any memos regarding the downsizing or financial trouble or anything like that. Start a conversation with someone in management (someone who knows you and will feel comfortable talking with you) and talk about the firings, ask them if you're at risk, or better yet, ask them if you've been a good employee or if they have any reason to fire you. Record this conversation with your cel phone. In Texas only one party has to b informed that a conversation is being recorded, so long as you know, one party is informed
If you get written up and fired and denied unemployment because it was "your fault" that you were fired, bring all of the evidence to the unemployment commission (whoever is handling your claim in particular).
If that doesn't work, get a lawyer.

Isn't it considered discrimination when waitresses at Hooters are employed by their looks?
Not that I'm complaining, I think their waitresses are awesome!! But I was just wondering how do they get away with California laws, policies, and procedures regarding Equal Opportunity Employment when they do not hire girls who are not that sexy.
Well, the fact is, if you have more applicants than positions, you are going to take the more qualified persons. The qualifications at Hooters are sexy looks. Its kinda stupid, but thats how it is. I mean look, if you have a smart man and a dumb man, are you going to take the dumb man 'cause all are supposed to have equal opportunities? No, of course not, you will take the smart man. Are we then supposed to protest against discrimination against dumb people? I don't think so.
Now if there was a very hot black lady, and Hooters took a less good looking white lady 'cause she was white, that might be considered discrimination. But even then, if the employer thinks that his customers will come more because he has a white waitress, then I think he is justified for taking the white lady over the black.
In companies where the employees deal directly with the general public, the employer has to take into account the prejudices of his customers. You have to make a good impression. Customers might think that a black guy may be able to help them out more with some 'hip' rap clothes, then a 'more regular' white guy. So if the black guy will be able to sell more merchandise, then he is better for the job.
So you have to take into account the qualifications of the job, and the prejudices of your customers. And the fact is that not all men are created exactly equal on all fronts. They all have different talents, personalities, etc. So that is how you determine who you pick for the job.
Sorry for the long answer, but I think your question deserves a little more attention than a simple 'yes' or 'no'. Cheers!

Starting a Landscaping Business
A landscaping business can be started from your home or you could buy an existing business. An interesting combination might be a nursery business with a landscaping business as an equal side business. The focus of the business could be homeowners, commercial accounts or both. The way to acquire customers will combine advertising, referrals and maybe help from a franchise commitment. The cost of getting started will depend greatly on the size of the business you buy or if you start a lawn care business from your home. This range opens the door for many potential owners to get into the business. The up-front expense can be very high dollars to the cost of an old pickup, a gas mower and a gas weed eater. Home customers are probably easier to get than commercial customers. Insurance coverage and legal employees is another factor in the cost of doing business.
Lawn care, tree care and outdoor plant care are all part of the landscaping business. Bushes and shrubs can be part of the mix also. Whether you are doing it for a commercial establishment or old Mrs. Smith’s tiny lawn there are similarities in the landscaping business. The private home may be easier to land, as companies are not constantly approaching them. The commercial building owner or a shopping center manager would be called upon often to consider a new landscape company. The competition and the requirements a commercial account may have can eliminate many small companies. The fastest way to grow is to buy a business with a built in clientele. You can build a business one customer at a time, but this will take time and weeks of frustration. On the other hand the small business is not a huge capital investment.
A large commercial landscaping company is going to have a steep asking price as the clients are in place and are likely to stay in place unless the company causes a rip in the relationship. A change of ownership will not be a big item as long as the service stays solid. A sharp increase in the monthly bill would not be the smart thing to do just after the purchase. If things stay relatively the same, the business would likely continue as before the ownership change.
A small home-based lawn care service would not be costly to start and could grow fairly fast in a decent location. People that need their lawns taken care of are expanding every year. Retirees are sometimes prevented from doing the work due to physical limitations or they just are willing to pay for the service. This group is easily contacted and referrals from existing customers could be obtained without a great deal of trouble.
Finding businesses for sale
A check on the Net, for landscape businesses for sale, shows a number of high dollar businesses for sale. The listings are interesting as most are in larger cities. There are few lower priced or small businesses listed individually. A business broker would have a more detailed list of possible purchases. Also they could help with the information about requirements for insurance and employment laws that need to be followed. The broker can help in the negotiation with the current owner if terms are the only way you can purchase the business.
Using the Net to uncover important information about this business area will save time and quickly let you know if you can pull it off with the money and skills you possess. A very large company purchase may not be available to all buyers, but it is worthwhile to know what is required to get in the game. Smaller entry companies may be open to purchase and with terms that are within your reach. The big advantage of a purchase of an existing business is the clients they bring with the purchase. This means there will be immediate cash flow from the purchase. This is a big plus with some people, as they like to see they are getting their purchase money back.
A really large company may be in need of good management rather than the work of a job foreman. A shake up of the sales force may be order to get the company growing again. This type of information will become rather obvious when studied by a person that knows what to look for and how to solve the discovered problems.
Money is the name of the game
A small company purchase or starting a company from scratch may be well within the resources of the buyer. A larger purchase may need terms from the old owner to complete the sale. The other sources for extra money could be a bank loan, business lenders loan or personal loans from friends or relatives.
A very large purchase of several million dollars may take corporate type financing as seen every day in large business buy-outs. This kind of a sale could be completed through private stock or ownership through an LLC. It is the amount of money needed to make the sale that would make this purchase far more difficult to bring about. Raising the needed funds would have a lot to do with who was heading the investment team and their history of success in the business world.
It is surprising to see some of the asking prices for some of the landscaping companies listed on the Internet sites. If these prices are backed up by profits, then this is a highly profitable business. A company in this high priced neighborhood could be in need of better management as its size has made it more difficult to run properly. This could open the door to a conglomerate offer from well-financed people.
A combination business possibility
A nursery and landscaping business would seem to be a natural combination for an owner to consider. They need each other’s skill and products so they could provide both to the customer. A person could find a small nursery for sale and piggy back a landscaping business on it. This may not be a common business, but it is worth looking at as a possibility.
Conclusion
The need for quality service from a landscaping company is growing as our population grows and gets older. Private homes make up the largest group of customers, but maybe not the most lucrative to have on the books. Commercial customers are what every company would like to have, but the competition is tough.
Finding companies for sale that you can afford to purchase is going to take some very good detective work and maybe the help of a solid business broker. The listings on the Net seem to be found in large cities and have substantial asking prices. Business brokers will have a more thorough list to work from. They are very worthwhile to seek out and ask questions. Once you have found a property that you think you can buy, the negotiating will start for real. A business broker may be very useful in the negotiations to make the deal. The deal, the financing and the property are all critical elements in the purchase of a business. Several situations should be looked at and compared as to their individual merits.

Career of Fellow Texan Lance Armstrong Highlights the Need for More Sports Law Attorneys
Some superstar athletes develop such a close association with the city or state in which they perform that you cannot mention one without the other quickly coming to mind. Do you think of Peyton Manning without the city of Indianapolis being part of the picture? Of course not. Unless, that is, you are from Tennessee and you still associate the Hall of Fame quarterback with that “other” UT school that drapes itself in bright orange. Michael Jordan may have studied and played ball at the University of North Carolina and had an awkward late stint with the Washington Wizards, but he always will be associated with Chicago. Here in Texas, we have developed or displayed plenty of amazing athletic talent on the fields and in the arenas. There is a reason that every movie and television program revolving around high school football takes place in Texas. Just think about some of the household names that have played their sport in our state—Troy Aikman, Vince Young, David Robinson, Tony Parker, Nolan Ryan, and Fred Biggio just to name a few. One athlete of whom we are especially proud is native (Austin) Texan Lance Armstrong. Everyone by now, knows his amazing accomplishments and compelling personal story.
Just after his twenty-fifth birthday in 1996, Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his abdomen, lungs, and brain. Even after drastic surgeries and treatments to remove the diseased areas of his organs, doctors gave Armstrong less than a fifty percent chance of survival. Obviously, he did make a full recovery following this devastating diagnosis and went on to win the Tour de France for a record-breaking seven consecutive years, from 1999 to 2005. Lance Armstrong used his celebrity status to create the Live Strong Foundation, an organization which works to inspire and empower people affected by cancer. Who doesn’t own, or know someone who owns, one of those famous yellow bracelets that have become a marketing phenomenon for the cause? Armstrong’s dedication to shining a light on cancer research is closely felt here in Texas, as well as in the halls of Congress and in charitable circles around the world.
With his high profile and healthy bank account, there certainly have been times at which Lance Armstrong has needed the services of an aggressive attorney to defend his name and image. Most notably, Armstrong has faced ongoing allegations that he has used steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs, a claim, which he has always adamantly denied. A book titled L.A. Confidentiel: Les secrets de Lance Armstrong was published in France in 2004 and purported to include interviews with those close to Armstrong who could account for his supposed use of steroids. Even though its author, David Walsh admitted that it contained only circumstantial evidence, the allegations caused a great deal of unwanted publicity. In 2005, a former employee named Mike Anderson testified in court filings that he found suspicious drugs without an attached doctor’s prescription in Armstrong’s hotel room in Spain. The following year, Armstrong’s former teammate, Frankie Andreau, and his wife shared in court testimony that they had witnessed conversations between Lance Armstrong and his doctor back in 1996 during which he admitted to use of various drugs. The accusations that Lance Armstrong used illegal drugs to boost his performance, particularly during his recovery from cancer, continue to follow the athlete. He has vowed to continue to use legal and media channels aggressively to clear his name, guaranteeing that attorneys in Texas will be revisiting the relevant laws concerning steroid use, defamation, and other content that may prove helpful to Armstrong’s efforts.
Last week, Lance Armstrong encountered another challenge to his professional standing. During the first stage of the Vuelta of Castilla and Leon race in northern Spain, Armstrong broke his collarbone and is now back home in Austin for surgery and recovery. He had a steel plate and twelve screws inserted in an effort to stabilize the collarbone. Despite this obvious setback, Lance Armstrong still has hopes to race in the Tour de France in July. As his team manager Johan Bruyneel said, "A broken collar bone in the month of March does not at all compromise the start of the Tour de France or your performance in the Tour de France." In Armstrong’s case, it appears that the time he will spend away from his chosen profession is not going to be extensive. For some other athletes, the time out of the limelight can prove to be more problematic. If a long-term injury or personal circumstances keep someone away from the playing field or racing circuit for an extended period and the public starts to forget about his star power, the financial and marketing commitments that have been made to the athlete might be unceremoniously dropped. Effective legal counsel can be crucial in an athlete’s desire to maintain standing in his profession and its related monetary perks.
There is strong evidence to support the idea that athletes, as well as celebrities who have followed other avenues of public notoriety, should always keep a sports and entertainment lawyer nearby. From the first professional contract that is signed to the allegations against one’s character that are inevitably made in hopes of financial gain to the unfortunate instances in which an athlete makes a decision to engage in illegal activity, there will be legal issues that need to be addressed. Lance Armstrong has discovered this truth through the unending reports of his use of performance-enhancing drugs. Undoubtedly, Armstrong’s Live Strong Foundation also employs attorneys to ensure that contributions are being used effectively and that cancer patients seeking assistance are given proper advice. He may find more cause for an attorney’s expertise if this current injury threatens his promised livelihood or negotiations over missed engagements are required. With opportunities to defend such high-profile personalities and protect their futures, the area of sports and entertainment law is a specialized one of high stakes and great reward. http://www.belolaw.com

Protecting Yourself against Claims of Discrimination and Wrongful Termination
Most employers these days are being faced with the need to make some changes to the way in which their businesses are structured. During these difficult economic times, I am sure that each choice is weighed carefully. As of April 2009, the unemployment rate in Texas stood at 6.7%, which is better than the 9.4% rate of unemployment that the country as a whole is experiencing. This relative good fortune is of little comfort to those whose lives are affected. When you hold the livelihood of others in your hands, there is a great sense of responsibility. You need to make the decisions that are best for your business and family as well as give consideration to the people who work for you. Unfortunately, after issuing a painful but necessary cut to your staff, you still may be accused of discrimination or wrongful termination. Good jobs are hard to come by these days, and employees may try any tactic to keep their positions. You need to be familiar with both federal and state laws that apply to employment practices, as well as know that steps you can take if faced with such a lawsuit.
Let me start with a piece of good news. Texas is one of the friendliest states in terms of employer protection. Our state follows the "employment at will" rule, which means that, with limited exceptions, an employee can be fired without warning and without cause. Even if there is a written contract establishing employment, the employer must specifically indicate that he or she will not terminate anyone except for under certain circumstances, which must be laid out. So, even if you signed on the dotted line when hiring someone to assist you in your office, you likely have retained the right to let that person go at any moment that you choose.
The "at will" policy does reach its boundaries when it comes into conflict with the federal and state laws that are in place to protect employees. Texas employers cannot discriminate against or fire employees who fit into the following categories:
1. Whistle blowers - If any employee reports fraudulent activity or safety or environmental concerns to authorities, this person cannot be fired as a result.
2. Refusing to Break the Law - This should not be surprising. If you ask an employee to commit an illegal act and your request is refused, you may not use this decision as cause for termination.
3. Victim of Discrimination against Protected Class - An employee cannot be fired simply based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age (with exceptions), disability, or for taking maternity or family medical leave
If you are dealing with a former employee who is suing you for discrimination or wrongful termination and his reasoning does not fit into one of the categories listed above, the case should be dismissed quickly. This is certainly the desired outcome, as the cost for further legal defense can be quite difficult for employers to handle. Out of the discrimination claims that are not dismissed outright, eighty-one percent wind up in front of arbitrators of in administrative hearings. These proceedings cost the employer an average of between $22,000 and $40,000. Cases that end up going to trial, of course, will be exponentially higher in cost. An employer's best course of action is to know his rights and his boundaries when dealing with employees and always to operate within these guidelines.
Keeping up with this issue is crucial for employers because accusations of discrimination are on the rise, both here in Texas and around the country. Age discrimination is one area that perhaps does not get much publicity, but is a growing problem. As shared by Joe Bontke from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), "The older the workforce gets, the more age discrimination claims come. 16,585 out of 86,000 cases received in Texas last year were regarding some form of age discrimination." This represents a 20% increase in claims since 2004. Section 21 of the Texas Labor Code, as well as the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, protects individuals who are at least forty years old from facing employment discrimination based on age. In addition, charges of racial discrimination in the workplace are at their highest levels nationally since 1994. With the diverse population that resides in Texas, this issue is one that needs to be of concern to all employers. And, with layoffs and office closures continuing to occur in the wake of the current recession, you can be certain that disgruntled employees will be looking for legal reasons to protect their jobs or promotions when paychecks are on the line.
What can you expect if an employee does seek legal action against you? A complaint will be filed with the EEOC within 180 days of the alleged wrongdoing. The EEOC may present the option of mediation as a first step to both parties if such a service is available. Mediation is free and the resulting settlements are confidential. If an investigation is determined to be necessary, someone from EEOC will be assigned to the case and embark upon a study of the case that usually takes at least six months. The EEOC then will send the employee a "right to sue" letter, which indicates that the employee either has a cause for a complaint, no cause for further action, or insufficient evidence to proceed further. Regardless of the decision reached by the EEOC investigator, the employee still has the right to sue you in federal or state court for up to ninety days after receiving the "right to sue" letter. Be prepared for the possibility that an employee who is unhappy with his situation will pursue his or her case to the fullest extent possible.
It is in your best interest to hire an employment attorney as soon as you receive notice that an investigation concerning possible discrimination at your workplace is underway. An experienced lawyer will assist you in the important process of being fully compliant with the request for materials. Your attorney also will be your advocate in presenting the best possible argument in your defense and ensure that all relevant state and federal laws are being applied on your behalf. If you are facing a complaint concerning employment discrimination or wrongful termination, please place a call to an attorney today.

It is Christmas Eve and you are surrounded by family as you admire the ornaments on the tree and enjoy a warm beverage by the fireplace. You have left all of the crowds at the mall behind and, wrapped in brightly colored packages, you have the perfect presents for everyone on your list. The kids went to sleep without a fight, knowing that morning would bring the discovery of what Santa had left during his annual visit. This is supposed to be the happiest time of the year. Why, then, are you throwing sideway glances of disdain at the person with whom you exchanged wedding rings years ago? What is it about this season that makes you realize how unhappy you are in your marriage? And, what will compel you to join thousands of others in a few weeks to do your part in making January the busiest month of the year for divorce attorneys? There are several reasons to explain this very real winter of marital discontent.
The coming of the New Year always brings a period of self-reflection. People make promises to themselves ranging from the ever-popular determination to lose weight to other resolutions such as to quit smoking or to smile more. Some feel that the fresh start that accompanies the countdown to midnight and the singing of “Auld Lang Syne” should include beginning the year without a husband or wife. As New York lawyer Sue Moss puts it, “It seems everyone's New Year's resolution is to lose weight and lose the husband, and not in that order." Those who have struggled in what they believe to be bad marriages, sometimes for years, make the decision that they will not start yet another year in the same environment.
On a more practical note, there are also financial issues to be considered when determining the timing for a divorce. There are tax advantages that come with sticking with the marriage until the end of the fiscal year. Where the old saying was, “We’re staying together for the children,” many couples now claim, “We’re staying together for the tax benefits.” Also, there is usually a great deal of financial information that needs to be exchanged when an estranged couple is making decisions about property division, child support, and other issues that involve money. Employment and tax information for the previous year will begin to be available at the end of January. In relationships that are heading for divorce, it is not surprising to discover that one or both parties have not been completely forthcoming concerning finances. The New Year brings evidence of earnings, bonuses, and investment dividends that may have been conveniently hidden until now.
Finally, do not underestimate the influence of the holidays themselves on a person’s state of mind. Spending time with extended family can either remind someone of what is lacking in his own marriage or create additional stress in an already fragile marital relationship. If you come from a home that Norman Rockwell could have used as a model for one of his paintings, you may wonder why your current home life cannot measure up. If visits to Mom and Dad usually end up with fists being thrown or the cops being called, such tension will exacerbate personal problems. And, there is also the issue of the infamous holiday party at the office. Infidelity is the number one reason for divorce any time of the year, but the alcohol that often accompanies end-of-year celebrations may increase the chance for inappropriate behavior.
In the state of Texas, there are approximately 100,000 divorces every year and half of these splits involve children who are under the age of eighteen. Naturally, the people of our state are no more or less immune to the effect that the holidays can have on the marriage relationship than any other state in the union. Therefore, divorce attorneys in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and elsewhere across the Lone Star State should expect their phones to be busier and their waiting room to be more crowded once 2010 arrives. Once initial divorce papers are filed with the appropriate court, Texas law requires a sixty-day waiting period and this time frame is only possible if both parties agree to all terms. If there are issues of contention, divorcing couples can expect the process to take a year or even longer. So, it is possible that even though you begin a divorce proceeding in January with the intention of getting a fresh start with the New Year, you may still be engaged in disputes with your spouse when the next holiday season approaches.
If you are a resident of Texas and you are finding that the holidays are bringing serious marital discord to light and you need to start 2010 by taking the first steps in the divorce process, plan to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible. Emotions are often running high when a spouse files for divorce, and these feelings are intensified by the high expectations and conflicts that arise with the holidays. A good lawyer can guide you through the difficult decisions that must be made with sensitivity and with the mindset of an advocate. Do not start a life-changing year without the best counsel possible and find yourself wishing you had done things differently when 2011 approaches.

Can a person be sued for child support for time they were in a hospital for combat related injuries?
A friend of mine claims his wages were garnished for child support after he was released from the Army. He had lost one leg in combat and along with other conditions to cause him to be released under combat related disability. Years later he owes over $22,000 for child support directed at the time period he was 1) in combat, 2) in the hospital 3) released from service with a Prosthetic below the knee. He has been unable to gain employment since his discharge. His bank account which contains his disability check may be garnished AGAIN, as per a letter received from the office of the Director County of Los Angeles, Child Support Services Department dated June 30, 2008.
Do you think this is the respectful way to treat the American soldier who lost a leg in combat and who could not pay because of it?
My question is: is there a law that protects the disabled Veteran from this type of abuse?
Please let me know if someone can assist.
A lot of people seem to have a disgraceful attitude about this subject.
"A soldier's child needs support, whether the soldier is dead or not." Heh. And where is this support going to come from?
Why are people so darn quick to insist that someone else do what is impossible? That's nothing but bombast, pure self-righteous moral grandstanding. "Oh look see how good I am to insist that someone else do what is right, even if it is impossible."
In my opinion, anyone who says that a soldier, injured in his country's defense so that he cannot work, should pay child support nonetheless, that person should be required to pay the soldier's back support personally. Children must be supported, you know. So grab one of these slimy liberals and make HIM do the supporting! For example, I think that "Justbeingher" should have to pay this fellow's child support, since he is too injured to do so and... the child MUST be supported!
Another thing you might try: switch custody from the parent who is not injured (and who can, presumably, still work) to the parent who is injured too badly to work. How about that, liberals? Good idea, yes?

SJC backs dismissed Lowell teacher
A former Lowell teacher who was fired because she failed state-mandated English fluency tests may get her job back as a result of a decision yesterday by the Supreme Judicial Court. Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court - Teacher - English language - United States - Massachusetts Massachusetts Employment Lawyer - "How To Let Your Workers Go"
Can I sue for "conspiracy for termination of employment"?
I recently got fired from being a teacher in a prison.
My former boss told me that when he decided to hire me, his supervisors asked him why he wanted to hire non-american citizen, if american citizens were applying for the job. When my supervisor was fired, I was assigned to work with one of the most dangerous criminals in the prison. The inmate was trying to manipulate me, and I made several complaints to my new supervisor, but my worries were ignored.
Is an accusation of "conspiracy for termination of employement" a valid argument in a lawsuit? Can I get a case in the court of law?
More importantly, WHAT conspiracy? You were expected, i would assume, to work with all the inmates. If you were incapable of doing so, you stood to be fired.
They were under not obligation to present you with a special, sugar coated clientele. Surprise, some of the people in prison aren't nice guys. You either learn to work with them or find another job.

Can an employer (Texas) withhold my final pay check because I refuse an exit interview?
I have had nothing but problems with my employer, and am finally (thankfully) moving to a much better job. My last day is next week, and the office manager has stated I must complete an exit interview. I have stated I will not complete an exit interview as it is not required by state or federal law (Texas). She has threatened to withhold my final check if I don't complete the interview. I am 99% sure this is illegal. Can someone please verify? Please cite either Texas or Federal employment laws.
You are NOT required to give an exit interview. While they may threaten to hold your paycheck, legally they cannot withhold it if you don't give an exit interview. Texas is an "at-will" state which means you can leave (or your employer can ask you to leave) anytime, for any reason.
I would suggest you print out some of the Payday laws etc. from the Texas Workforce website in case they try messing with you. You can find them here:

FOREWARD The corporate media harbors hundreds of CIA propagandists and fawning loyalists who find revelations concerning domestic political assassinations inconvenient and stroll by with little comment. The agency and organized crime have, for over thirty years, engaged in a program to silence popular musicians whose influence subverts the cynical thought control tactics of American government and media.
This book is an attempt to return that evidence to the historical record.
PRELUDE.. Assassination Politics of the Vietnam War period.
Former CIA Richard Ober, director of OPERATION CHAOS... the most expansive domestic surveillance and covert ops net-work in America’s history. The intelligence sectors response to the anti-war and civil rights movements, ran covert assassinations programs as well. The Nixon administration rose on a foundation of political murder. The C.I.A. had assembled a thick concordia of lethal methods. The project began with an anonymous , undated memo on assassination by "natural cause." Knock off key people the heavily censored document specified, " how to knock off key guys, natural causes, a declassified memo.. 1 Bodies left with no hope if the cause of death being determined by the most complete autopsy and chemical examinations, 2 Bodies left in such circumstances as to simulate accidental death 3 Bodies left in such circumstances as to simulate accidental suicide 4 Bodies left with residue that simulate those caused by natural diseases.
April 2, 1977 Washington Post reported that the agency had experimented in exotic poisons.
CHAPTER 1
In 1967 a subversive form of music melded with politics in San Francisco. Thus, destabilization tactics were summarized in a leaked memo, excerpt: "show them as depraved” call attention to their habits, and every possible embarrassment. Send articles to the newspaper showing their depravity. Use misinformation to confuse and corrupt. Provoke target groups into rivalries that might result in death."
For the first time since it's creation the warfare state erected by the Dulles brothers, Hoover, MacArthur, Kissinger, Nixon, etc. was threatened by an increasingly militant segment of society. The FBI rose to the challenge. On July 30, 1994, Intelligence files on Leonard Bernstein reveal the bureau spent countless hours examining his links with associations deemed communist to subversive. FBI agent Jane Moore said the FBI saw the strength and power of the idea of socialism, realized it represented a very real danger to our profit-motivated corporate state and had declared total covert war against not only the denim clad revolutionaries but all progressive forces The bureaus tactic was to cut them down or burn them out before they realized their potential. At the federal level, the CIA. was already pursuing similar objectives under code name Operation Chaos. Targets of Chaos Blank Panther Movement (Geronimo Pratt, jailed for 27 yrs. for murders he did not commit. He was also a target of COINTELPRO, the FBI "counter-surveillance program) Politically active hippies were also targets. Many underground papers were put out of business when they were abandoned by advertisers who had been pressured by the FBI. From 1967 to 1972 the operation compiled 13,000 files, which concerned 300,000 individuals and organizations. The CIA directorate of operations created an index of 7 million names.
CHAPTER 2
THE MACHINE CIA AND MOB INFLUENCES ON THE ROCK INDUSTRY....
The mafia was to be enlisted for the covert war against the counter-culture. In the mid-60's CHAOS officials and the mob both eyed the rise of political rock music. The CIA saw them as long haired communists screaming for revolution and the end to the Vietnam War. The mafia wanted more constrictive financial control over the recording industry. Top 40, the reigning broadcast format in America owes its very existence to the CIA and mafia combo. Drugs would enter the equation, plus youth and LSD with the politics of heroin and LSD drugs were only one contribution the agency has made to the American culture.
The National Security Council was patterned after Hitler’s security council , and its jurisdiction was to oversee the CIA by dictate of the NSA of 1947.
CHAPTER 3 PARAPOLITICAL STARS IN THE DOPE SHOW
Books were burned, book stores closed down, offices and social centers were broken into, artists, writers, musicians and countless hippies got dragged into court., to answer trumped up charges of corruption, obscenity, drug-abuse, and anything that might silence their voices. LSD appeared on the streets, as if on cue to destroy student descent. More potent drugs used in federally sponsored behavior modification studies (translates mind-control) also found their way to society at large. STP created by Dow-Chemical Co. in 1964 was considered incapacitating agent by the CIA Emergency wards was choked in San Francisco with freaking bohemians. PCP an animal tranquilizer, also fed to the hippies by the CIA. The Mob opened mass production labs and a meticulously organized network of traffickers to move black market drugs..
A CIA agent who claims to have infiltrated the covert LSD network, provided a clue when he referred to Height-Asbury as a human guinea pig farm. A dozen years earlier in the same city , George Hunter White and his CIA colleagues had set up a "safe house" and began testing hallucinogenic drugs on unwitting citizens. Now suddenly there was a neighborhood packed with young people who were ready and willing to gobble experimental chemicals. Charles Manson and Timothy Leary arrived in San Francisco and each had a keen interest in mind-control.
Dulles mentioned in his memo that the agency was testing drugs on groups of people. CIA personnel mingled with the drug dealers.. Monitoring stations were set up, among them was Louis J West, Jack Ruby’s shrink, West oversaw Dr Jose Delgado, author of Physical Control of the Mind and Ross Addey, a veteran of operation Paperclip (Nazi's entry into CIA and NASA and else where), Dr. Margaret Singer of the CIA created False Memory Syndrome. All participated in the study of LSD as a politically destabilizing weapon. One CIA memo named the drug as a potential new agent for unconscious warfare. In 1967 as CHAOS was launched by CIA White House. Timothy Leary, tossed out of the army for erratic behavior, left experimenting with LSD on prisoners in N.Y. for the CIA, and donned the robes of the designated LSD media prelate. He later admitted to knowing at the time that some powerful people in Washington have sponsored this drug research. Leary was constantly surrounded by ops of intelligent agents.
CHAPTER 4 The death of Cass Elliot (of the Mamas and the Papas)and other restless youth
According to Mae Brussell, researcher, in 1968 orders went out to proceed to neutralize segments of society. including those restless youth. By 1969 the SSS (Special Services Section of the FBI), combined with the Justice department and with the CIA operation Chaos.
Thus. Manson Murders, etc. Manson joined the Process church, a Satanist church , who also worshipped Lucifer and Jehovah. It was (is) big in Hollywood at the time. (Manson clearly a mind-controlled dupe).
One FBI report on Cass Elliot marked urgent states she attended a fund raiser in Hollywood , for Peace and Justice. Cass had political ambitions and wanted to be a senator, maybe, in 20 yrs or so. An underground paper called The Realist suggested Cass was the target of political foul play. The editor Paul Krassner said, "I believe she might have been killed. She knew a lot about the incredible criminal links between Hollywood and Washington and Las Vegas.
CHAPTER 5 THE MURDER IN THE HOUSE OF POOH BRIAN JONES OF THE ROLLING STONES.
The fusion of music and politics made the stones an enemy of the state. There were infiltrators and drug set-ups and busts thus, Jagger said " This is a protest against the system, war stems from power-mad politicians and patriots, we must end all these mindless men from seats of power, and replace them with real people, people of compassion.” The stones were stalked harassed and getting paranoid.
An odd construction crew came to restore the house of Brian Jones, the former cottage of AA Milne, author of Pooh books. They muscled their way into his private life, and had a weird hold over Brian. One worker, Thorogood, made a death bed confession, that he had drowned Wilson The tell-tale signs of cover-up by authorities are unmistakable. He was off drugs at the time. his death was not caused by a life of abuse as was claimed, he was murdered.
CHAPTER 6 THE END OF ROCK FESTIVALS
Five Months later, a music festival happened near San Francisco, and became murderous. The band would be forever tainted by the surreal violence..
Editor of Rolling Stone, Jan Wenner, put the Rolling Stones Band in touch with Melvin Belli, attorney of California well-heeled conservative base, whose eulogy at his funeral was, "a man of law against the CHAOS of life, a man of CHAOS against the law of life." He was one of CIA's most trusted court room wonders. Belli chose the Altamount for the Stones concert. It had all the charm of a grave yard, and not fit to draw 300,000 people.! Ralph Sonny Barger of the Hells Angels was hired to keep the peace, (an informant hit-man, who was hired by feds to kill labor activist Cesar Chavez, but was arrested instead on an old charge.) Hells Angels are represented in 18 countries now, largest crime family export. Who in 1969 suspected the Hells Angels was a death squad in employ of the political agencies? (a refreshing break from the status quo?)
At the Stone’s concert the Hells Angels beat up on the youth to excited to see Jagger and Leary arrive, an 18 year old girl was stabbed to death for allegedly having a gun, by the Hells Angels. There ended up 3 dead and many wounded..
A CANCER WAS PLANTED AND GROWING IN THE COUNTER-CULTURE
CHAPTER 7 JIMI HENDRIX POLITICAL HARASSMENT AND MURDER.
He didn't die from a drug overdose, he was not an out of control dope fiend. He was not a junkie.
FBI COUNTELPRO was out to do more than prevent a communist menace, from overtaking the U.S.! (or to control black power movement). It was out to obliterate its opposition and ruin the representatives of the people involved in the anti-war movement, Civil Rights Movement, and the rock revolution.
Hendrix manager, Mike Jeffery, by his own admission was an intelligence agent. He frequently boasted he had powerful underworld connections. There were many mafia managed "acts". The CIA/Mafia connection had exercised considerable influence in the music industry for decades. Hendrix wanted out of the contract. He felt he was under surveillance and felt more and more unsafe in New York, his former safe haven. His manager, thus, might have created a Toronto arrest, to silence Jimi. He preferred him to be isolated. He had always been a trusting and open person before, and now he didn't know who to trust.
He was getting 10 grand for a 50 grand concert. Hendrix friends said Jeffrey’s would get more money from a dead Hendrix than a living one. There was also a possible million dollar insurance policy in Jeffrey’s name.
Was Hendrix murdered? The official cause of death was asphyxiation caused by vomit? The pathologist report left the cause of death open. Monica Danneman (investigator), had long insisted Hendrix was murdered. At the time of her own death, she had brought media attention to the case in a letter and highly publicized court battle. Monica's body was found in a fume-filled car near her home, in south England. It was called a suicide.
She had a lot of death threats, and people who knew her said "she didn't believe in the concept of suicide"
CHAPTER 8 Death of Jim Morrison, lead singer of the doors.
Two years after the death of Brian Jones, Jim Morrison's body was found in a bath-tub in his flat in Paris. Death was attributed to natural causes, possibly heart failure. Morrison’s political outbursts attracted the FBI. He had said, " I like the idea about the breaking away or over-throw of the established order." In another interview Manzerek (of the Doors) considered possible motives for the elimination of the Anarchistic Lizard King " they were going to stop all rock and roll by stopping the Doors. He was considered the most dangerous because he was saying . “We want the world and we want it NOW.”
FBI harassment rendered Morrison so anxiety ridden that he had an ulcer by mid-twenties. Paranoia struck deep and it was thought he was a marked man. Bob Seymore wrote a book re: Jim called The End and conceded" you could say the CIA and the other intelligence agencies may have had a hand in the deaths of Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison etc., simply because they were the leaders of the generation of the 60's.
A book " The Bank of America in Louisiana" appeared in 1975, after his death, supposedly written by Morrison. Some say he survived Paris and lived a life free from celebrity and the FBI. A James Douglas Morrison, claimed to be operating as an intelligence agent for a number of groups including the CIA and Interpol, and also had connections with various occult groups. This JM2 also claims to be the dead rock star. There are stacks of official looking document, and letters between the agencies, CNN, NBC, and JM2. This claim was made by researcher Thomas Lyttle who claims to have seen what looks like authentic documents. There seems to be hundreds if not thousands of miscellaneous files under the name. No autopsy was performed after his death, a probable violation of French law. Pamela Courson, who was with him at the time, died later of an overdose that some said was a "Hot Shot" or poisoned opiate.
CHAPTER 9 JOAN BAEZ PHIL OCHS
Joan Baez survived the chaos backlash, she fully understood that political assassination could be her reward for openly castigating military-industrial masters of war. Her close friend Martin Luther King Jr., the worlds most honored civil rights leader told her and a group of activists before delivering his famed speech how the police had dumped him in the hole and it was black and he couldn’t see. They shoved food in the room but he wouldn’t eat it for fear it was poisoned starving and afraid he got on his knees and prayed and when he got up he said it didn’t matter anymore.
Kings entourage hid their pain when they knew what he meant. We knew he was going to die, and he was ready to die, and he was ready to make a commitment to Vietnam etc. He said, “I have been to the mountaintop and I have seen the Promised Land and it doesn’t matter anymore.”
Joan Baez wrote a memoir, And a Voice to Sing With, (1987) of her childhood and her father as a bright young Stanford scientist "Albert Baez recognized the danger of the unleashed atom even in the early days" He took a job at Cornell University in Ithica, New York (Cornell is the base of CIA Mind Control experiments and Joan is a survivor of ritual abuse and mind control experimentation, according to letters she has written to researchers and other survivors), a common cover for trauma-based-mind-control programming. She has a song about it
”I am paying for protection, Smoking out the truth...chasing recollections...nailing down the roof”
Baez entertained no illusions about the CIA, and promoted State of Siege, film she saw as exposing the corrupt element of AID (Agency for International Development, overseas), which funded the teaching of techniques of torture tactics in Latin America. We solicited signatures against the use of torture. Torture was made more prevalent than it had been since the Middle Ages, thus the danger was its common use as government policy. The hands of the US government were far from clean.
Joan did years of intensive therapy to confront her inner demons ,fears, insomnia, panic attacks, phobias, anxieties, etc. Therapists kept Joan glued together, to get me to the next gig, she said.
Joan’s father was invited to become the head of Operations at Cornell, which would bring him in contact with CIA Human Ecology Foundation, (re: Academic Mind Control Studies) behind the fences of the Ivy League campuses across the country. Joan said it was classified. She was not buried by Chaos, but she lived under its intolerant eye and it could silence her. An example is a mistranslation in Japanese re her comments on Vietnam and Nagasaki. The interpreter was threatened and complied. A year later sale of her records were banned from all Army PXs and when she denounced the draft on the Smother‘s Brothers Hour, she was censored by CBS, her comments cut, and CBS cancelled the Brothers soon after. The same year her then David Harris was sentenced to three years for draft evasion.
Civil rights activists were falsely linked to Communist organizations. A common smear tactic.
JOAN BAEZ AND BOB DYLAN MIMI FARINA AND RICHARD FARINA
In 1961 Joan Baez met Bob Dylan. Whose songs had such stark political flavor. Bob nearly died in 1966 after a motorcycle accident. Joan's brother-in-law Richard Farina did die a few months later in a motorcycle accident. It was suspicious and happened on his wife Mimi Farina birthday. He was on his way back from a promotional party for his book "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up". Before his death he had been producing an album to be performed by Joan, but it got shelved.
Mimi Farina, sister of Joan, is an equally talented and politically active woman who sings in prisons and goes out hands on to the poor, last I heard, and I believe Joan’s heart is also with the poor folk (My Note)
After Dylan’s accident he went thru a political change . He dropped the broadside lyrics grating on the nerves of the establishment. Mark Edmundson wrote: He wasn't ruined by drugs. His work combines art and politics and the harshest truth about the world. He is a visionary skeptic ,he loves the promise of America and yet is disgusted by much of its reality.
His songs tell about the cane murder of black servant Hattie Carroll, the death of boxer Davie Moore, the unbroken chains of injustice. They go to the heart of the decades most recurring preoccupation ,that in a time of irreversible technical progress , moral civilization has pathetically faltered, that no matter how much international attention is focused on the macro-cosmic affairs, the plight of the individual must be considered.
Five years after the accident he wrote "George Jackson", a fiercely driven ballad about the Black Panther leader " "George Jackson" who was consiciously murdered by a prison guard.
PHIL OCHS ( THE OUT LAW AND HIS BRAIN) MIND CONTRO AND MPD
"U.S. agents were able to destroy any persons reputation by inducing hysteria or excessive emotional responses, temporary or permanent insanity, suggest or encourage suicide , erase memory , invent double or triple personalities, inside ones mind." ---quote by the late Mae Brussells Operation Chaos investigator etc.
Ochs was a close chum of Bob Dylan , and thought Bob was the greatest poet ever. Ochs ,Bob, and Farina set out on the Folk minstrels path in the village in the early 1960's. Together with others they dragged folk music away from the migration camps and union halls into direct confrontation with the Eisenhower’s looming military-industrial complex. Ochs denounced the American politics in the "Cops of the world". song
" and when we've butchered your sons boys, have a stick of gum boys, we own half the world...."OH CAN YOU SEE"? AND THE NAME OF OUR PROFITS IS DEMOCRACY.
He was the ultimate dissident song quote" the comic and the beauty queen are dancing on the stage .The raw recruits are lining up like coffins in a cage." "Oh we are fighting in a war we lost before the war began"
Not long before he died, one night after too many drinks, he drew down the CIA Director Wm. Colby, director of the murderous Phoenix Project in Vietnam. He claimed he put a contract out on his life for 100,000 dollars. "I told Colby he's got a half of year to live or get out of Vietnam or he is dead. They can kill me but he is dead" he said.( He as well was certain that Gloria Steinem, editor of Ms. magazine and famous feminist is a CIA agent) Ochs was founder of the Yippee party, sang with protesters, and appeared as a witness for the trail of the Chicago Seven. His lyrics were considered so inflammatory that he was banned from the air-waves. The FBI did not refrain form amassing a huge file on him, and the feeling that he was never alone unnerved him. He wrote " take everything I own, take the tap from my phone, and leave my life alone, My life alone! He was tarred as a communist and a threat to national security. His friends said Ochs was convinced he would be assassinated. He was driven to drink by the radio black-listing his music and the ongoing surveillance and harassments and his nerve gave out. He lived in a perpetual state of paranoia His vocal cords were crushed by thugs.
He developed a right wing pseudo personality called John Train who he wrote about ( Beth’s note: Who created John Train? Was he like his good friend Joan Baez, a mind-controlled MPD(DID), from abuse and experimentation? On the first day of summer ,1975," Phil Ochs "was murdered in the Chelsea Hotel by John Train, Ochs said in a taped interview. "for the good of societies public and "secret," he needed to be gotten rid of." He also made reference to his Pseudo personality in song fragments in an album never recorded re: "Phil Ochs checked into the Chelse a Hotel, there was blood on his clothes, Train Train Train, the outlaw and his brain. (my note: I have read accounts of cloning since the 50's. Lots of hi-tech knowledge kept secret, including in Jim Keith’s book "Secret and Suppressed").
Ochs actually now believed he was working for the CIA., writes biographer Marc Elliot.( Ochs also referred to N.Y. Cornell Hospital in mysterious lists) "Train hinted that if Ochs had been a commercial success "they"(CIA) would have killed his host personality.. " Colby and Co. would have been more than happy to put a slug thru his head at that point, "said Train, the alternate personality. Ochs committed suicide on April 9, 1976, by hanging. This was the same year of the book " the Control of Candy Jones" by Donald Bain., ( a study of CIA mind control experimentation, Candy was also an MPD, created personalities, who carried out covert assignments , a marionette with an inner Nazi personality. She worked without her knowledge as a CIA op. for 12 years. Her final post-hypnotic command was suicide, which was intervened by her husband, talk show host John Nebel. ( the book is out of print, I have a copy) It is very probable that "John Train" was programmed to kill Philip Ochs the host personality.
Another musician with repressed memory of child-hood trauma was Peter Townsend ("Who" guitarist). In 1999 it occurred to him that certain phrases from rock opera "TOMMY" were not fiction but his life. He filled in the blanks from his childhood amnesia.
CHAPTER 10 WHO KILLED THE KENNEDYS AND SAL MINEO (REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE)
Actor Sal Mineo was stabbed to death in a parking lot after signing on to play Sirhan Sirhan in an upcoming movie regarding JFK. (CIA assassination and post-hypnotic programming were the major themes of the movie.) Elliot Mintz talk show host for ABC, later Bob Dylan and the Lennon’s publicist was buried in research with Mineo, regarding JFK killing. They became convinced Sirhan was innocent. The movie production disagreed and Mineo pulled out of the picture. After he was killed the media revealed in his secret life of bi-sexuality, and the murder was taken as homophobia. Gay Bars were closing in fear, and Hollywood stars took refuge behind locked doors.
Michael Ruppert a former LAPD officer left the department to expose his CIA trained colleagues. He claims "Sirhan was hypno-programmed using hypnosis, drugs and torture by Rev. Jerry Owen and CIA Mind-Control Specialist Wm. Bryan at the stable where he worked months before the shooting. The LAPD concealed evidence implicating the CIA in shooting. The channels of the intelligence world swarmed with crooks and killers.
Conservative Evangelist Billy Graham was Presidents Nixon’s celebrated "spiritual advisor". Then there was LA's gangster corrupt public servant and wealthy gambling czar Mickey Cohen.(who "claimed "to be a friend of Sal Mineo) The former hit-man Cohen contacted the press after Mineos death t o boost that he was his pal. Cohen was also chummy with Nixon, and his entourage. In 1968, Cohen was coined the godfather of the West Coast Mafia gambling ops. When Cohen was close to death he opened up to investigative reporter Chuck Ashman, and he said, "Mickey Cohen told me the tale of his being paid off to fake a conversion and dose of Christianity for Billy Grahams N.Y. crusade. Two of Graham’s staff had passed more than 10,000 dollars to Mickey and his family." We found the dates and the amounts and even the checks" Cashmon said.
Cohen was the first bridge linking the killers of Robert Kennedy and Sal Mineo. He was on friendly terms with Carlos Marcellos, mob boss, who ran with David Ferrie, CIA corrupt ops., who was investigated by Jim Garrison in the connection of killing of JFK. Cohen was also a chum with Jack Ruby. Cohen was also a friend of Melvin Belli, Jack Ruby’s defense attorney. He also controlled the Santa Anita race-track where Sirhan was employed. Mickey Cohen’s circle of friends and his appearance in the limelight after the Mineo killing begs question on Hollywood power brokers. Sirhan and Cohen were close to Desi Arnez, (Producer) of I Love Lucy .Arnez was an anti Castro Cuban exile leader. In 1966 Sirhan wrote in his notebook that he landed a job at the stables Corona Breeding Farm co-owned by Desi Arnez, Buddy Ebsen, Dale Robertson, ultra conservatives, and TV personalities were well acquainted with Sirhan. Sirhan was known as a fervent anti-communist. Attorney, Russell Parsons, Sirhan's attorney, showed no effort to make known that Sirhan was in the wrong position to kill senator Kennedy, he was shot from behind and Sirhan stood in front of Kennedy.
CHAPTER 11 PROJECT WALRUS..JOHN LENNON..
Mark-David Chapman chose to plead not guilty due to following the direction of his voices.. His attorney J. .Marks, punctuated the plea "by reason of insanity". Chapman testified "I can hear their thoughts, I can hear them talking, but not from the outside, from the inside" Not one of the three psychiatrists at the trial explored the possibility of Mind-Control. In 1977 Chapman lost his fundamentalist religion and became a Satanist..
At 19, 1n 1975,Chapman signed onto the YMCA,(international camp counselor program) and was sent to Beirut where he allegedly received instructions in lethal arts at the CIA training camp school of terror. (there was a known "experiment in Mind Control unit" for the army in Lebanon.). In 1980 he surfaced in New York, and mailed a letter to an Italian address. The Dakota (residence of the Lennon’s) was given as a return address. There was a reference to his" mission " in N.Y.. It was returned to New York, the address not found in Italy, where it sat for three years in the dead letter bin, and finally delivered to the Dakota. Yoko Ono glanced at the letter and dropped it in her deranged file. In 1983, head of security, Mahoney, found the letter. This was evidence of premeditated murder and conspiracy. The letter vanished and reappeared slightly altered, the post-date now was 1981. The "mission" statement was missing...
Elliot Mintz, friend of Sal Mineo ,was instrumental in exposing "Project Walrus" as a conspiracy regarding Lennon. He had been Lennon’s chum too and publicist since 1971 Mintz recalls that some of Yoko body guards were at the time New York Police officers.. It is very difficult for a private citizen to legally possess a weapon in New York. The people who can are off duty officers. It is thus, a common celebrity arrangement. There were many files with missing contents at Yoko's apt. after Lennon was killed. Listening devices were planted at the Dakota and once swept clean would reappear. There had been numerous attempts on Yoko's life. One man was arrested at airport who had made a call that he was coming to finish the job and kill Yoko and Sean. There were also calls made to tell her body guards were going to kill her. Sean Lennon said, "I grew up afraid my mother and I were going to be killed".
After John's murder the first promoting of Project Walrus was the ruining of his reputation. John had known he was wire-tapped and was paranoid. After Watergate he filed a lawsuit for wiretap and surveillance and made some progress. Justice Dept. never would admit it actually carried out the wiretap and blamed it on other possibilities. After he got his green card he gave up the litigation. Lennon overcame his fear of federal harassment and gave public statements that were anti-republican.
Killing Lennon was only the first step. All that he signified must be defaced. That was the principle objective of Walrus. His diaries were stolen and returned later with extra entries and some entries altered. Fred Seaman wrote a defamatory book on Lennon. Seaman was to be executive of Lennon’s archives, and much was feigned regarding their bond. He told friends he was going to discredit Ono at all costs. The goal was to drive her to a nervous breakdown and discredit her attempt to set straight the public record. The walrus crew anticipated immense profits. Dead Lennon’s money’s The events at the Dakota began to sound like the Movie "Gaslight"..( in which a husband tries to drive his wife crazy by reality distortion) Yoko began sleeping badly. One of Yoko’s assistants, wracked by stress began packing a gun at all times. He said " you do not know how big this is. The people doing this are too big to fight." To discredit Lennon and Yoko and the Peace movement was a major part of Operation Walrus. (but it didn't and IT WILL NOT)
CHAPTER 12 WHAT CHA GONNA DO?..THE DEATHS OF MARLEY AND TOSH.
Quote: “Vampires do not come out to bite your neck anymore, instead they cause something destructive to happen that will spill blood., and those invisible vampires will get their meal " Peter Tosh.
Peter Tosh , like Marley was a widely influential civil rights agitator, and like other black activists before him he was gunned down. He died in 1987 at age 43. He was upset with the treatment of his people. Tosh went to Trench Town to live with an uncle after the aunt he was living with died. It was there he met the young Bob Marley, and taught him to play guitar. They got together with Bunny Wailer and the trio called themselves the Wailin Wailers. They were drastically underpaid. Record producers are notorious for pocketing money. (dem pirates and dem thieves). Peter Tosh always let his feelings be known. He cared more about principles and morals than popularity and fame. He said "they know I do not support POLITRICKS and games, my duty is to unify the people." He and Marlew had some wrangling and he left the group, and went on his own. Destabalsation tactics were employed, and political violence and sabotage etc. from the CIA with pernicious attempts to wreck the economy of their country.. The new weapon and the new menace was destabilization..
Bob Marley held onto the Wailer name and took on new members. The peoples National Party asked them to play at Smile Jamaica concert. He agreed.
In Nov. a death squad came to Marley’s home and started shooting. They shot bullets into his manager, and one in his wife’s’ Rita's head , as she tried to get their 5 children out of the house. They survived. The last bullet creased Marley’s breast below his heart and drilled deep into his arm. Marley would sing "Ambush in the night, all guns aiming at me." This did not stop them performing at the Smile Jamaica concert.. ("War") "Until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that now hold our brothers, in Angola, in Mozambique, in subhuman bondage, have been toppled utterly destroyed...everywhere is war......
Carl Colby , son of CIA head Wm. Colby, came to the concert and posed as crew and got back stage where he gave a gift to Marley, a pair of boots. Former black Panther Lee Lew-Lee was close to Marley and he thinks Marley’s cancer started with the boots He claims there was a link of copper wire attached to the boots, which hurt his foot when he tried them on and had to be removed..(it might have been treated chemically with a carcinogenic toxin. Marley later broke his toe and found out it was cancerous, it spread. He did not trust main-stream medicine and continued to perform. He knew by 1977 he was dying and compressed a lifetime of music into a few years
Something of a Caribbean CIA POGROM was underway via Kissinger and Co. There was emphasis on psychological Ops. which became arson, banking assassination disruption of the now Manley's democratic socialist rule. Political violence was stoked and arsenal of weapons supplied. This was all mostly financed by Hard Drugs, which disrupted the Rasta movement and marijuana. They wanted it legalized. Their chosen weapon in the Rasta Movement was free expression and they were crucified for it. Tosh was busted and beaten almost to death and it made his music more vengeful.. Secret Police and the CIA tailed him thru it all. Grotesque human rights violations were commonplace. Marley found out he had a brain tumor. He sang " these songs of freedom is all I ever had, emancipate yourself from MENTAL SLAVERY. "He was observed rubbing his forehead and grimacing while performing. One woman explained "Hidden lasers were fixed to spotlights above the stage and burned out his brain" Fellow Rasta’s heard about an alternative doctor in Jamaica, who advised Marley to talk to a Doctor Josef Issels, a holistic immuno therapist in a Bavarian village. He went. The Dr. said "I hear you are one of the most dangerous black men in the world.” Issels medical career did not hold up under scrutiny, during WW2 he had worked hand in hand with Dr. Mengele (angel of death) in research in Poland, at the Auschwitz camp. The Wailers found this out after his death.
Issels told Bob he could cure him and did sadistic procedures that left him in agony. After visits the Wailor’s said "he is killing Bob" He also cut off his dreadlocks. He was in the hands of the doctor who had been the accomplice of Mengele in horrific Medical experiments against what they considered "sub humans". His mother said " he was starving and wasting away , and he would fall into fits of shaking, etc" Marley weighed 82 pounds on the day of his death. May 11, 1980. (HIS MUSIC LIVES ON)
Peter Tosh found the bloodshed and hypocrisy of death squad justice in the Third World unbearable He was obsessed with the hidden evil. By 1987 the year of Tosh murder Jamaica musicians were censored by the prevailing politics. Witnesses and friends insist his murder was a political hit. They were convinced Tosh was killed for his statements on Human Rights, Black liberation and the legalization of Marijuana. Tosh was throwing a small party at home when Mike Robertson, a local radio host answered the door. Leppo Leppan, an old buddy from Trenchtown days stepped in. Behind him were two clean-cut looking strangers, professional hit men, they insisted on talking to Tosh at gunpoint. Shots were fired and three people were dead.
Shortly afterward the N.Y. City apartment of Tosh was entered and burglarized, (such as the aftermath of Hendrix death). Two out of three of the Tosh killers remain at large. One hit man was said to be a policeman, (of course Leppan was convicted.)
Chapter 13 GANG WAR Sons of Chaos.
Rap artist Tupac Shakur was gunned down at a stop-light in Las Vegas in 1996. It will be evident re: the police strategy of disinformation, ignoring of witnesses, and the presence of undercover agents from L.A. and N.Y. at the murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G.
This suggests that both rappers were murdered by hit squads under the sanction of federal officers. Tupac's father said "It was clear to me form day one that the Las Vegas police never had any interest in solving the case of my sons murder..".. It was said “ we dealt extensively with COINTELPRO (FBI) issues. We worked around a lot of political prisoners and the black liberation movement over the years. This shaped Tupac into the person he was. The family operated the "Centre for Black Survival! They had a youth group called "The New African Panthers" and Tupac became the chairperson for it."
The agony of the Rap industry was exacerbated in March 1997 by killing 24 yr. old Brooklyn rap artist Notorious B.I.G. in L.A. This happened after he had attended the annual 'Soul Train' Music awards, by an unidentified gunman. Tupacs father said in a letter (excerpt)"we do know that Brother Biggie was a part of an industry that has been under attack from the highest form of government officials." " They have targeted Tupac, Sister Souljah, and IceT. Ice Cube, just to name a few. This is reportedly due to the content of the lyrics. "IF" this was the case why would devil-worshippers (music-artists) not be hounded out also?????(They openly worship the devil in a so-called God fearing country.) Their lyrics preach mayhem, destruction. Death to parents, and even government; whereas our rapper loved-ones wanted to explain their pain and identify from where they came, with hopes for a better tomorrow; if all things were fair.
We believe that history has demonstrated that the murders of black people (young and old) who can have a profound impact, those who refuse to bow down, have been targeted by government at its highest level.
What we must understand is that our warriors are needed when it has been proven beyond contradiction that the C.I.A. were principal importers of Crack Cocaine and Cocaine into the 'HOOD’, with blatantly racist drug laws, to set into motion tactics of genocide to destroy or lock away our brothers and sisters or the rest of their lives.
Pay attention to the game that is being played on/against us! SEARCH FOR TRUTH! Don't look at who shot them, but why? Don’t be fooled by the media that has never shown real concern for our welfare. DR. MUTULU SHAKUR
Mutulu Shakur's conviction that SECRET POLICE killed his stepson and Notorious B.I.G. proves to be increasingly feasible.
Chapter 14 FALSE GOD SYNDROME
DEATH OF MICHAEL HUTCHENE
.... 1997-----M. Hutchence was found tethered by his neck to a door frame. He too was an activist, who willed the lion share of his fortune to Amnesty International and the Green Party. He was found at the Ritz-Carleton in Sydney Australia. The media concocted scenes of SM but he was found with a broken hand and lacerations and had taken a bad beaten. His friends said he was not depressed and he was against suicide. There were rumors of the "MOB" involved in his investments possibly unknown to him. He died penniless due to investments and trusts and his family had to fight for his money.
He knew Gianni Versace, famous designer who was gunned down, and was also said to be possibly mafia involved, although he denied it angrily (A dead mourning bird was found by the Versace body, a symbol of a hit-man).
Diana Spencer, the Princess of Wales, and a month before her own death attended the funeral of Versace. As it happened another friend of Hutchence was Dodi Fayed , someone said to have mob links. Dodi's uncle was arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi of the Iran-Contra Fame.
Dodi and Diana were killed in a car accident four months before Hutchence died.
THE DEEP POLITIICS OF MUSIC
Roger Bunn director of the Music Industry, Human Rights Assoc. (MIHRA), in the U>K> lives in the eye of the corporate music beast. These are excerpts from letters form Bunn:
"Re: M. Hutchene..."so that's it, huh? Death due to hanging? Sort of unusual that...even for the music industry. Those wonderful featured artist really light up the sky every now and then. Maybe we should consider making the poor darlings an endangered species? When they reach their peak it probably means worth more to the conglomerates dead than live. Think about that next time you go out to buy your conglomerate primitive/folk music, or a well-known movie.... you add strength to the cartel Monopoly. The music industry turns over 120 billion dollars a year. In the music industry there is no such thing as Real Competition".

Fearing New Law, Arizona Immigrants Forego Health Services
-It was early on November 27, her daughter’s birthday, when Ana got the call from a social worker.
“Are you in the country legally?” the person asked.
“No, I’m undocumented,” Ana replied. She had applied for health insurance for her children, both U.S. citizens.
The worker paused for a moment and then informed Ana that under a new Arizona state law she would have to report her to immigration authorities, although she did not want to.
Since the law was passed last month an estimated 700 individuals who applied for public benefits have been reported to federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to ICE. It is unknown how many were applying for public benefits that their U.S.-born children are entitled to.
“I dug my own grave, but I wasn’t asking something for me, it was for my kids,” said the woman, 31, who asked that her real name not be used.
After they celebrated her daughter’s birthday, Ana and her family picked up and moved out of fear that immigration officials would come looking for them. Now, they all share a room at a neighbor’s house.
As stories like Ana’s spread in Arizona’s immigrant communities, the climate of fear is growing. The law’s impact is having a chilling effect on the provision of health services for a population of children and women that is already underserved. About one third of Arizona children have immigrant parents, according to a recent Pew Hispanic Center survey.
Children of undocumented immigrants are less likely to have health insurance than those born to legal immigrants or U.S. citizens. In 2007, nearly half of the children born to unauthorized immigrants were uninsured and 25 percent of those who were born in the United States were uninsured.
The new law’s impacts are emerging just as healthcare officials are urging undocumented people to get immunized against the H1N1. Meanwhile, implementation of the new law by state agencies is characterized by confusion.
“The situation is explosive. If the H1N1 virus reaches people and they are not going to the doctor or receiving services, what will happen?” said Alfredo Gutiérrez, editor of La Frontera Times and a former Democratic senator.
Ana had provided the state Department of Economic Security (DES) with all her information in an application for AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System), the state subsidized insurance program. Under, the new law, HB 2008, DES employees are required to report anyone who is illegally in the country and tries to apply for public benefits.
The immigration status of a parent applying on behalf of a child is not supposed to keep the child from receiving the benefit, according to DES.
Ana believes the DES worker inquired about her status because she gave information about her husband’s employment and his real social security number. The number issued by the Social Security Administration was given to him when he was younger, so that his father, who is a legal permanent resident, could claim him as a dependent. But it doesn’t authorize him to work.
DES does not ask about people’s immigration status when they complete an application, but nothing in the rules indicate that their employees cannot inquire about it. Workers must file a report if someone admits to being in the country illegally.
Employees who don’t do that could face fines, lose their job and face up to four months in jail.
Undocumented immigrants like Ana wonder if immigration authorities will come looking for her. That depends on Homeland Security’s priorities, as set by Sec. Janet Napolitano. As Arizona governor, she opposed measures similar to HB 2008. ICE spokesperson Vinnie Piccard said his agency has improved the reporting system for state agencies in light of the new law.
“ICE will evaluate referrals to determine the individual's immigration status and criminal history,” he said. “Top priority is given to aliens who pose the greatest threat to public safety, such as those with prior convictions for major drug offenses, murder, rape, robbery and kidnapping, burglary and other serious property crimes.”
But that doesn’t clarify matters for employees of Arizona agencies facing a new law and federal requirements to serve anyone regardless of immigration status. They are caught between a rock and a hard place.
“Everybody is afraid of the perception that they’re not complying with the state law,” said Tara McCollum, director of government and media relations for the Arizona Association of Health Centers. “Our centers are struggling with how to comply and still serve our patients.”
McCollum said the 16 centers and their 140 sites serve a large number of undocumented immigrants and have seen a patient drop off, fewer people going to get immunized and cancellations because of the fear.
“This is very sad because a lot of women are not receiving pre-natal care for their babies,” said McCollum. “There are people who desperately need healthcare and are not getting it.”
The centers are independent not-for-profit agencies that receive federal grants and some state funding. But they claim they should be exempt from the reporting requirements because they are meant to be a safety net mandated to provide services to anyone regardless of immigration status.
AAHC awaits a legal opinion by State Attorney General Terry Goddard on the impact of the law and whether the center will be required to report their clients.
The centers serve about 20 per cent of the uninsured population in Arizona. Often they’re the only option in rural areas.
“This is why this so problematic for us,” said McCollum. “These people don’t have any other choices,”
Among them there are women like Guadalupe, 29, who is two months pregnant but hasn’t visited a doctor. Her husband is legally in the United States but can’t afford to pay insurance for her second pregnancy in 10 years.
“It was an accident, we didn’t plan it,” said Guadalupe, who asked that her real name not be used because she is undocumented.
That’s part of the reason she doesn’t want to apply for emergency health care services she is entitled to under federal law.
“I never asked anything of the government, and my husband pays taxes,” she said. “With the new laws they have in place, you’re automatically a criminal.”
Guadalupe said she believes abortion is wrong but fears that will be her only choice. A regular delivery could cost her $5,000 at a local hospital.
Rosie Villegas-Smith, director of the anti-abortion group Voces Por La Vida, has been in touch with women like Ana. She’s worried that many of them are not applying for an emergency services card, provided by AHCCCS, which would help them get pre-natal care.
“Republicans say that they’re pro-life, but they don’t realize that this affects those who are most vulnerable, like pregnant women,” said Villegas-Smith.
The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) has received questions from politicians regarding pre-natal care under this new law.
“We feel we were already in compliance with this bill,” said Duane Huffman, chief legislative liaison for ADHS, who acknowledged the confusion regarding the new law.
HB 2008 doesn’t directly affect emergency services, immunizations, and Woman and Infant Care (WIC), a nutritional service. While there are concerns, programs like WIC have not reported a decrease in applicants, said Huffman.
But immigrant advocates think the law’s negative impacts are real and intentional.
“This law was designed to generate panic and for people to self-deport,” said Antonio Velazquez, director of the Maya-Chapin organization, which represents over 3,000 indigenous Guatemalans in metropolitan Phoenix. “But the truth is that they don’t have the funding or the personnel to enforce it.”
Proponents of HB 2008 argue that it was necessary to stop undocumented immigrants from fraudulently receiving welfare and healthcare insurance.
In a recent column published in the East Valley Tribune, Republican State Senator Russell Pearce claimed that undocumented immigrants receiving public benefits are one reason the ACHCCS budget has increased.
But AHCCCS statistics reveal few cases of fraud in the application process. In fiscal year 2009, the AHCCCS fraud unit investigated 215 cases, but there’s no break down of how many were related to undocumented immigrants. In 2009, the state insurance program grew by 214,000 new members. Before the new law, AHCCCS already had a system in place to check eligibility requirements, which include U.S. citizenship or permanent legal residence for at least five years.
“We are turning everybody into immigration agents,” said attorney Isabel Garcia, director of the Coalición de Derechos Humanos, a human rights organization in Tucson, “when the reality is that immigration is a complex area of the law.”

Government Turns up the Heat on Employers
Jerry Erickson Published: May 6, 2009
U.S. employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers will now face harsher scrutiny and penalties. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the government agency that oversees immigration in the U.S., has just announced its intentions to up the pressure on U.S. businesses hiring unauthorized workers.
Janet Napolitano, the current Secretary of DHS and the former governor of Arizona, made it clear in an announcement on April 30 that DHS will focus on the employers who cultivate illegal workplaces by breaking the country’s laws and knowingly hiring illegal workers. In essence, the policy will focus the attention of DHS on employers, rather than primarily on the unauthorized worker. In recent weeks, Napolitano has delayed a series of proposed immigration raids in an attempt to focus more on U.S. employers and less on unauthorized workers.
The DHS policy is aimed at striking at a serious cause of illegal immigration — employers who illegally hire unauthorized workers. The strategy behind the policy is to make it perfectly clear to employers that they can no longer hire someone who isn’t authorized for employment. The expectation is that there will be less motivation for individuals to illegally enter the U.S.
While the government will continue to arrest unauthorized workers found in the course of their investigations, the focus of these investigations will also now be on the employers who allow the employment to occur.
In my column of April 8, I noted the recent increase in worksite raids. The policy by the Obama administration refocuses the scope and direction of immigration raids to specifically target the employer. Under the Bush administration, immigration raids led to the arrest and deportation of thousands of unauthorized workers, but only the prosecution of a few employers. For example, in 2008 there were over 6,000 arrests as a result of worksite raids, yet only 135 criminal charges were filed against employers. The new policy of DHS now directs Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to conduct careful criminal investigations of the employers who are employing the unauthorized workers.
The policy being implemented by DHS should come as no surprise given that just hours after being sworn in, Napolitano stated “You have to deal with illegal immigration from the demand side as well as the supply side.” DHS is now looking to minimize the supply by vigorously prosecuting employers who are creating the demand for unauthorized workers.
Napolitano provided specifics on the DHS strategy during an interview with The Associated Press last month. During the interview Napolitano explained that cases against employers will be built by auditing the documents that employees fill out when they join a company, having undocumented workers go undercover and from talking to people who regularly interact with the employers. “What I want to do is deter more employers from intentionally and knowingly hiring illegal workers,” Napolitano said.
Even in situations where a criminal case cannot be established against an employer, DHS has instructed agents to seek civil penalties, including fines and disbarment from federal contracts. The guidelines require that a 14-day notice be issued from the ICE field agents to ICE headquarters, prior to a raid, with information regarding the investigation. The guidelines also require that field agents either have an arrest, indictment, search warrant or at least a commitment from a U.S. Attorney’s Office to prosecute an employer before arresting employees for civil violations at a work site.
The shift away from the previous policy should be seen as the Obama administration’s focus on addressing the underlying cause of illegal employment in our country — employers that allow it to happen. Because the employer is seen as assisting in the ebb and flow of illegal immigration, the first priority listed in the new DHS guidelines is to file criminal charges against employers who knowingly and intentionally hire undocumented workers. This should get the attention of every employer who knowingly makes the decision to hire those without work authorization. As the focus of the government shifts from employee to employer, it is imperative that employers also shift their focus — from cheap unauthorized labor to lawful labor.

Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorney’s Top Ten Ways to Know You May Have Brain Damage After a Los Angeles Car Accident
1. You wonder why alcohol gives you headaches when other people seem to enjoy it so much on TV.
2. You are sure you could do your boss’s job better than your boss does.
3. If you are self employed, you are still sure you could do a better job than you do.
4. You wonder how life ever got this crazy.
5. You know what causes all of the crop signs but refuse to tell people.
6. You watch a rabbit eat and play with other rabbits and decide that’s the life you want to lead.
7. You decide that a hummingbird does way too much work.
8. Some day you would just like to eat pizza all day.
9. The stock market just makes you dizzy.
10. You wish you could sit on your roof but you can’t find a way up.
Now here are ten useful tips of advice from a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a personal injury in Los Angeles, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com and learning how we can assist you.
Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it may have been a few hours since the accident. However, if you ever have another accident, or if it’s only been a few hours since you were hurt, here’s what you should do from the start.
First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.
Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.
Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.
Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.
Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.
Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.
Seventh, call a good Los Angeles personal injury attorney as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the lawyer can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good Los Angeles personal injury attorney can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good Los Angeles personal injury lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most Los Angeles personal injury lawyers advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.
Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.
Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.
Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.
