Museum of Innocence

Museum of Innocence



November 30, 2007



If the practice of child abuse is to be diminished or ultimately stopped it must be publicly identified and understood. Since the judicial/socio system promotes silence, denial, and ignorance, there is little opportunity for the public to become informed, aware, and decisive. The Museum of Innocence fills this social gap by creating a safe environment to identify and define the problem in a dignified, poetic, artistic and objective way in a safe, nurturing environment of a museum.

The Museum of Innocence is intended to be visible, beautiful and prestigious part of the community for many future generations. As a cultural center, it will serve the local communities, and it will attract visitors nationally and internationally.


Because there has never been a museum designed to deal exclusively with family dynamics in the history of this planet, it will set precedence for the rest of the world. It will become a role model and inspiration to all.

The planned exhibits will deal with major aspects of child abuse which are adults suffering from past abuse, survivors who have overcome past devastation, perpetrators and the present day victims. Many visitors will discover themselves to be in one or more of these stages of child abuse. Some may have intense reaction to what they see. Through the well designed exhibits, visitors will learn how to identify the many forms of abuse practiced and where to find help. They will discover there is hope and recovery from past unhealed injuries. For some viewers, a visit to the museum may even bring long desired closure in their lives. Some exhibits will be only for viewing or listening and others will invite visitor participation and opinion. All the exhibits will be in coordination with a psychiatric and forensic advisory board. Included in the permanent exhibits will be a presentation demonstrating the high price society pays for the indulgence of child abuse, the denial of its existence, and society-s refusal to resolve it.

Teddy Bear OK – Muhammad, Not OK


Teddy Bear OK – Muhammad, Not OK

November 29, 2007

“Hooray for San Francisco; we need these people in” in South Florida, reads an article posted in the Internet by the Broward County Atheists Group, immediately following the desecration of a Catholic Church in San Francisco, California and in response to Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly, who brought national attention to the incident.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom dismissed O'Reilly's comments and characterized the incident as a non-issue

"This debate really is about San Francisco values. The Bill O'Reillys of the world are threatened by San Francisco because we value diversity, universal health care and civil rights for all. They will exploit any controversy to attack our values." Said Newsom

Now comes word that teacher Gillin Gibbons, charged with inciting religious hatred, was convicted today of the less-serious charge of insulting Islam for letting her pupils name a teddy bear "Muhammad," and was sentenced to 15 days in prison. Gibbons could have received 40 lashes and six months in prison if found guilty of inciting religious hatred.

No, this is not another example of how San Francisco, or California for that matter,
is run by "far-left secular progressives who despise the military, traditional values and religion," as Mr. O'Reilly might opine. This incident is unfolding in Khartoum, Sudan. Gibbons, a British teach found guilty under Article 125 of the Sudanese criminal code, faces deportation to Britain. On the other hand, if the secular progressives continue to advance their agenda, this incident could be a common occurrence in the US – consider that the Christina Bible is now being viewed as containing hate speech!

November 30, 2007 Update

A popular, all-female TV show this morning discussed the issue, in essence indicted Ms. Gibbons for being "culturally insensitive". One of them mentioned how prior to her performance in Turkey, she was given a voluminous tome to study so she would not be out of line. In the same breadth she described how when she went to Germany, she was expecting everyone there, including airline pilots to speak English - apparently these ladies feel more qualified than Ms. Gibbons, to teach in the Sudan. It is fair to say that Mr O'Reilly would categorize these ladies as" far-left secular progressives who despise the military, traditional values and religion", who may feel that the desecration of the Catholic Church in San Francisco is just an expression of the First Amendment rights in the US.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press' Mohamed Osman reports today that "Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam ..... saying, "No tolerance: Execution," and "Kill her, kill her by firing squad."" Osman goes on to report that "A Muslim cleric at Khartoum's main Martyrs Mosque denounced Gibbons during one sermon, saying she intentionally insulted Islam" - the hypersensitivity toward Islamic issues continues, while insulting Christianism seems to be just fine.

Breaking News: LWV 3rd Mutual Lessons Learned: If at first you don’t succeed, hide and hide again


Breaking News: LWV 3rd Mutual Lessons Learned: If at first you don’t succeed, hide and hide again

November 29, 2007

Immediately after last night’s closed meeting that ended up being an open-non-board-meeting and subsequent failed attempt at the political assassination of board president Stanley Feldstein, inside sources tell us that a quorum of six directors met anent and voted to unseat Mr. Feldstein as president, rejecting the overwhelming support expressed by residents, and disregarding the message sent to the board during the recent election.

We have not been successful in reaching Mr. Feldstein to confirm that he has been unseated, but do have a copy of his prepared remarks during the open portion of the meeting

We understand, but have not been able to confirm as of now, that the directors who met last night in closed session and voted to remove Mr. Feldstein include:

Jim Matson, former president of Third Mutual who was re-elected to the board but lost to Stan as president.

Cynthia Conners, a 13 month resident of LWV who as an attorney reportedly used the American Heritage Dictionary to define "personnel" rather than Black's Law Dictionary.

Bob Hatch, a long time member of the Third board who claims to have been one of the authors along with Milt Johns of the most recent Management Agreement.

Larry Souza - long term member

Isabel Meuennichow former secretary of the board

Gunter Vogt - Allegedly out of touch with the community.

Political Assassination Foiled By Residents


Political Assassination Foiled By Residents

LWV 3rd Mutual besmirch meeting to overthrow board president fails - this time!

November 29, 2007

The scheduled “assassination meeting’ last night was indeed public and featured over 2 hours of public comment. Stan Feldstein is still standing as President of the Board- in part due to an overflow crowd, necessitating opening another room and using closed circuit camera coverage. The attendance for the most part was outraged by what is characterized as “crass and clumsy attempt to unseat him.

The target of the besmirch political assassination, Feldstein started off by reading a prepared statement arguing the illegality of the meeting. Feldstein then declined to participate in the meeting and VP Carol Moore (who cut short her vacation when she heard of the purpose of this alleged meeting) took possession of the lares and penates of a board meeting-not-a-board-meeting”, termed instead an open forum.

As Ms Moore called for open comments from the public, residents of both 3rd and United Mutual spoke for hours. Eventually they adjourned without formally opening a board meeting— Such skullduggery allows the agent to avoid having to broadcast the meeting. However, several residents came prepared and tape the meeting themselves.

Meanwhile what board critics call “the Village Gestapo” patrolled the halls with minatory appearance, mulctually wearing their nightsticks, just in case the native senior residents became bellicose!

Board president Stan Feldstein has not responded to requests for comment.

“The biggest loser of the process was probably newly elected board member Cynthia Conners who rode to the board on a reform ticket and has now lost all credibility, having sided with the dissidents”, said a resident attending the meeting. “The others who were trying to participate in this coup had little credibility to lose; but the public made it clear that these board members just did not understand what the recent election was saying”, he continued.

Several residents made statements in support of Mr. Feldstein asserting that he was the "first director who actually lived up to his campaign promises and was doing the job he was elected to do”

From the discussion, it became transpicuous that Director Isabel Munichow believes that anything agent Milt Johns says is a legal opinion, although the information we have is that Mr. Johns is not an attorney.

Director and former board president Jim Matson kept trying to make a motion to adjourn the meeting, prompting presiding director Moore to say that the meeting had not formally been opened and thus was the meeting was a not-a-aboard-meeting so motions were unnecessary.

Chavez vows referendum 'cannot fail' – Coto de Caza CC&Rs Changes will not fail


Chavez vows referendum 'cannot fail' – Coto de Caza CC&Rs Changes will not fail



November 27, 2007

Rallies for and against constitutional changes proposed by Venezuela President Hugo Chavez surged Tuesday as the leader declared that a weekend referendum on the proposed charter "cannot fail."

Sunday's referendum on reforms would allow Chavez indefinite reelection, increase presidential terms from six to seven years and help the Venezuelan leader establish socialism in Venezuela.

According to AP’s Fabiola Sanchez published today titled Chavez vows referendum 'cannot fail' “about 300 students gathered Tuesday outside the Catholic University Andres Belo in Caracas, occupying a highway for four hours and causing rush-hour traffic jams. …”we the students will keep coming out onto the street to demand freedom and democracy," said Roberto Diaz, a 21-year old law student at the university” and goes on to say that “still, according to recent polls, the "no" could give Chavez his first defeat Chavez at the polls since he first won office in 1998. Chavez himself has suggested that losing, his government "would have to enter a period of profound reflection."”

Meanwhile, despite state law promoting direct democracy, the CZ Master Association in Coto de Caza is desperately promoting “constitutional changes” allowing the association to keep a useless and some argue, a corrupt delegate system. The delegate system using cumulative voting assures a small minority to remain in power. With direct elections in the horizon, it is not clear what the role of the delegates may be, other than to tell residents how to vote, who to vote for and when to vote.

Political Assassinations in Orange County – It’s the Water!


Political Assassinations in Orange County – It’s the Water!

Apparently what appeared to be equine waste emanating from the venue was not coming from horses after all!



November 27, 2007

A few months back, the Orange County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to create an oversight board, indicating the supervisors had little trust in Sheriff Carona.

Early last month, internal memos released by Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector Chriss Street undercut his own account of a controversial $18,000 contract with a private company, leading his long time friend and Orange County supervisor Moorlach to ask that Mr. Street step down, otherwise the the threat was that the supervisors would strip him of any real power.

Most Orange County residents by now have heard about the beleaguered Sheriff Carona and his alleged long-time mistress.

Just this Monday, a state appellate court overturned a jury's finding that Orange County Supervisor Chris Norby engaged in sexual harassment of a former employee and ordered a new trial to determine how much in damages the woman should get for being wrongfully terminated.

Then there was the alleged political assassination of CZ Master Association board of directors’ president, and the alleged pre-mediated political assassination of Laguna Woods Village Third Mutual president Stanley Feinstein scheduled for Wednesday November 28, 2007, in what apparently is being called a closed meeting, to keep nosey people away.

We understand the reason Stanley Feinstein is the target of a political assassination is because he is asking the hard questions and in return, he is being referred to by his critic as fascist and Hitler, among other names. Feinstein is asking potential supporters who may plan to attend tomorrow’s meeting to “conduct themselves with decorum, not shout, stomp and in general be other than purely supportive in a positive and civilized manner”. Mr. Feinstein’s supporters “fully expect the management to have the security department out in full force and turning people away from the meeting and now allowing them entrance as has happened so often before”

So what is the common denominator, you ask? It is the water!

On November 30. 2007 the Orange County Water District will turn on a switch enabling millions of people to start drinking sewer water using a process called indirect potable water reuse

According to the NY Times’ article by Randal Archibald published today and titled titled From Sewage, Added Water for Drinking, the The finished product, will not flow directly into kitchen and bathroom taps. “Instead it will be injected underground, with half of it helping to form a barrier against seawater intruding on groundwater sources and the other half gradually filtering into aquifers that supply 2.3 million people, about three-quarters of the county” The article goes on to explain how “the Groundwater Replenishment System, as the $481 million plant here is known, is a labyrinth of tubing and tanks that sucks in treated sewer water the color of dark beer from a sanitation plant next door” works.

A recent CZ Master Association board of directors centered around the various wells in the area wondering how to best manage them – Apparently what appeared to be equine waste emanating from the venue was not coming from horses after all!

Serial Assassin in the Loose In Orange County?


Serial Assassin in the Loose In Orange County?



November 25, 2007

After the alleged attempted political assassination of self-described professional fighter and naïve politician, the CZ board president resigns his post. The December 2007 CZ Newsletter announces, again, a proposal to make changes to the association’s CC&Rs similar to the mulct contained in the changes to the Venezuelan Constitution Hugo Chavez gas vowed Venezuelan’s will approve.

Now comes word from Laguna Woods Village that another political assassination is being planned. Sources tell us that the Laguna Woods Village the 3rd Housing Mutual is calling a special meeting Wednesday. After a mandatory open session the word is that directors sympathetic to the property management company will try to remove Third Mutual president Stanley Feldstein. “PCM and their henchmen apparently waited for the Thanksgiving Holiday so that no one would be around until too late to speak up”, our sources tell us. In the case of the CZ Master Association, the president's resignation and subsequent board appointee was announced post facto. Our sources tell us that Mr. Feldstein is not planning to play dead.

We have left word with Stanley Feldstein and PCM to see if they would comment. We have not heard from them as of now.

Interestingly enough, immediately after the attempted political assassination of the CZ board president and his ensuing resignation, the CZ board approved a property management contract: KPPM 2008 Management Contract.

Unscrupulous Actions

Unscrupulous Actions

November 18, 2007

The question is, what do these unscrupulous actions have to do with Orange County, or Coto de Caza for that matter? - Do they provide a lenitive effect?

Irreconcilable conflict of interest

In Wade Vs. Soo Line Railroad, a routine worker’s compensation suit in 2003 leads to conflict of interest during appeal filed in the 7th District in Northern District if Illinois, Judge Frank Eastbrook questions attorney George Brugess, a Chicago-based attorney with Hoey & Farina: I do not understand how you can file an appeal, the result of which is to shift a very large monetary obligation off of your shoulders and onto your client’s. It looks to me that you an irreconcilable conflict of interest with Wade”. The writing in his opinion, the judge writes “Arguments designed to protect the attorney at the expense of the client are precisely the sort of acts that invite discipline”. Eastbrook eventually referred all of the attorneys to a disciplinary commission in Illinois, where they could face disbarment.

Rampant Fraud

According to a survey of senior executives conducted by consulting firm Kroll Inc.

Companies suffering corporate fraud in the previous three years – 80%
Companies that experienced theft of physical assets or stock – 34%
Companies that cited high staff turnover for increased fraud exposure – 32%

Paying protection money

Chiquita® executives plead guilty to paying “protection money” to a Colombian paramilitary group and agree to pay $25 million for allegedly making illegal payments to AUC. The US designated the AUC a terrorist group in 2001.

Auditors SOXED

The SEC charged 60 auditors in September with failure to compy with SOX requirements

Without admitting or denying the findings of the Orders, each of the settling firms and partners consented to the entry of an order finding that they violated Section 102(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The firms and partners who settled the proceedings are named in the following 29 settled Orders.

Chiefly, Mum is the Word on Coto de Caza Public Safety Awareness


Chiefly, Mum is the Word on Coto de Caza Public Safety Awareness

November 17, 2007

CHP’s chief Elzig actively promotes public awareness in order to prevent traffic accidents (she refers to traffic accidents as preventable incidents) – The Varo/Mezger CZ board of directors instead of allowing her to send a public safety awareness message during board meetings, the CZ board of directors instead, turned control of a board meeting to a producer to promote a trashy TV reality show.

Fast forward to November 2007 – the trashy TV show is constantlyferatureds on local media, but this time there is a Chief’s Corner in the official CZ newsletter. Lt. Griffin pledges additional patrols, “not because of any crime increase in the area”.

Noting that the Sheriff is Coming, the Sheriff is Coming! line has often been used by the CZ board, and the sheriff never comes, we asked Lt. Griffin and Sheriff’s spokesperson Jim Amormino for a breakdown of enforcement hours per month allocated to the Coto de Caza and Ladera Ranch communities for 2007.

Further, to pick up on any potential public awareness momentum, we offered Lt. Griffin space in the Cot oBuzz Journal for a Chief’s Corner using either the same content or a variant of the one used in the CZ newsletter.

We also notified Lt. Griffin that the OCSD statistics does show an increase in crime and vandalism around the Coto de Caza community.

We have not heard from either Lt. Griffin or Jim Amormino.

However, history seems to be repeating itself, as there has not been any visible Sheriff’s presence around the community in 2007.

Russian Vote Credibility Takes Hit – Coto de Caza Elections Have None


Russian Vote Credibility Takes Hit – Coto de Caza Elections Have None



November 17, 2007

According to Wall Street Journal’s reporter Andrew Osborn, “Leading international election observers said they have scrapped a plan to monitor Russia’s parliamentary vote next month because of unprecedented restrictions”. President Vladimir Putin is seeking international stamp of approval on these elections to remain influential on the world stage even after his presidential term expires.
The Centre for the Study of Public Policy University of Aberdeen (CSPP) has been conducting Barometer surveys monitoring mass response to transformation across Central and East Europe and the former Soviet Union, since the launch of the Russian Federation in January, 1992. The Levada Center (formerly VCIOM) earlier started monitoring changes in what was then the Soviet Union. In response to the question “Do you think the upcoming parliamentary elections in Russia will be honest”, the Levada Center reports 48% of respondents believe elections will be manipulated, with 17% claiming not to know.

Ever since Messrs Varo and Mezger took control of the CZ Master Association affairs, the largest homeowners association in Coto de Caza, they have consistently refused to consider reforming what is widely recognized as a “corrupt electoral system”, as a former member of the CZ board of directors often says. Even after California adopted direct election laws, the CZ Master Association board of directors arbitrarily decided to maintain the system. Such law took effect July 1, 2006, mandating associations to adopt election rules that apply to all elections requiring a vote by the membership, i.e., special assessments, CC&R and Bylaw changes, etc.

Within months of being named association president, Messrs Varo/Mezger's chuck-will's-widow comes-a-calling with a williwaw on Coto De Caza, after self-described professional fighter, CZ board president Steven Zipperman resigns his post, rather than face what he described a political assassination – refer to political assassination scenarios below.

Getting rid of Zipperman allows Messrs Varo and Mezger to regain control of the CZ board by making cosmetics changes to the association’s CC&Rs making them appear compliant with the new election law and retain the corrupt delegate system.

Russian Vote credibility Takes Hit – CZ Master Association Elections Have None


Political Assassination Scenarios
To view the recent CZ Political Assassination in context, the following is a summary of director removal causation, as well as vote slate scenarios before and after:

Directors may remove fellow directors from the board under the following conditions:

1. For Cause. The board may declare vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound mind by a final order of court, or convicted of a felony or, if at the time a director is elected, the bylaws provide that a director may be removed for missing a specified number of board meetings or fails to attend the specified number of meetings.

2. Disqualification. The board, by a majority vote, may declare vacant the office of any director who fails or ceases to meet any required qualification that was in effect at the beginning of that director's current term of office.

3. Appointed Directors. If the board appointed a director to fill an empty seat, the board, by a majority vote, may remove that director from the board, with or without cause, unless the bylaws state otherwise.

Replacement of a director removed by the board shall be in accordance with the association's bylaws. Some bylaws require the calling of a special election.

During the brief Zipperman/Yocham board (roughly six months), the votes along the lines of direct democracy including the taping of open board meetings and direct elections were Varo/Mezger Vs. Zipperman, Yocham and Hylka (2-3). With Zipperman as president during this period, he gets to pursue home office capital expenditure CC&R changes.

However, the trio of Zipperman, Hylka and Yocham quickly became a crowd and at least one jumped at the chance of a bone, say the presidency? - the taping of board meetings was discontinued, talk of direct democracy is being obfuscated with legaleeze from alleged paragons of the legal profession, and Zipperman becomes the target of a political assassination: Is it the Treasonator or Malitzin making flop jacks?

The process used to appoint a Zipperman assassination and his replacement was transpicuosly done without prior resident notification, and the process being used to ram down CZ resident’s throats CC&R changes denegates CZ residents any say on association matters.

Wealthy Home Invasions Puts the Wealthy on Alert – WSJ


Wealthy Home Invasions Puts the Wealthy on Alert – WSJ



The CZ Gate Access Process Does Not Prevent Crime of Opportunity, Rather it Provides an Opportunity for Crime





November 15, 2007

Today’s WSJ article titled Wealthy Home Invasions Puts the Wealthy on Alert, Lax Security Often Open Doors to Increasingly Brazen Crimes; the Buffets Uninvited Guest, echoes the message often delivered by the CotoBuzz Journal: The CZ Gate Access Process Does Not Prevent Crime of Opportunity, Rather it Provides an Opportunity for Crime

The article makes the argument that the reason for an increase in home invasions is because the “the numbers of rich people with homes to plunder has risen fast”, but more importantly, traditional targets such as banks, stores and offices are now more fortified than ever.

The article goes on to urge wealthy and high profile individuals to step up security at home. Among the recommendations are:

Do not accept unscheduled deliveries
Install voice-video intercom system
Order background checks on all employees and contractors.


Coto de Caza Gate access control as currently implemented is a waste. There are those who argue that the Sheriff is responsible for crime and vandalism – missing the crime of opportunity concept altogether.

Consider the attempted rape in December 2006: The CZ BOD was quick to say that the perpetrator was not a CZ resident – however, for all practical purposes, the fact that he was allowed in with no questions asked, makes him a “CZ insider”.

The 10 principles of crime opportunity

1. Opportunities play a role in causing all crime, not just common property crime

2. Crime opportunities are highly specific

3. Crime opportunities are concentrated in time and space – Dramatic differences are found from one address to another even in a high crime area.

4. Crime opportunities depend on everyday movements of activity – Offenders and targets shift according to their routine activities (eg. work, school leisure). For example burglars visit houses in the day when the occupants are out at work or school.

5. One crime produces the opportunities for another – For example, a successful break-in may encourage the offender to return in the future or a youth who has his bike stolen may feel justified in taking someone else's as a replacement.

6. Some products offer more tempting crime opportunities – For example easily accessible electrical items such as DVD players and mobile phones are attractive to burglars and robbers.

7. Social and technological changes produce new crime opportunities – Products are most vulnerable in their 'growth' and 'mass marketing' stages, as demand for them is at its highest.

8. Crime can be prevented by reducing opportunities – The opportunity reducing methods of situational crime prevention cut across everyday life, though they can be tailored to specific situations.

9. Reducing opportunities does not usually displace crime

Is Malintzin in our midst (Coto de Caza's Puppet Board?) - or is it the Treasonator?


Is Malintzin in our midst (Coto de Caza's Puppet Board?) - or is it the Treasonator?





November 13, 2007

Think of Malintzin as the Benedict Arnold - Arnold originally fought for American independence from the British Empire as a general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War until he obtained a bone, err.. command of the American fort at West Point, New York and, opting for a switcharoo, then plotted unsuccessfully to surrender it to the British

Malintzin was used to interpret between Cortés and the Aztecs. Malintzin learned of several plans by natives to destroy the small Spanish army, and she alerted Cortés of the danger and even played along with the natives in order to lead them into traps.

Given the unexpected coup at the CZ board, the question is, is Malintzin in Coto’s midst, or is this a local version of the Treasonator?

From Assassination to Hostage Crisis in Coto de Caza


From Assassination to Hostage Crisis in Coto de Caza



Bringing in Hugo Chavez to Coto de Caza to negotiate the release of direct democracy is like asking President Clinton to help clean up the DC Intern program!

November 12, 2007

The Coto de Caza governing body has been in disarray for quite some time culminating in the resignation of board president S. Zipperman because of an alleged “political assassination” plot.

Matters have quickly turned to a hostage crisis. Some have argued that perhaps the best person to resolve the crisis is Venezuela president Hugo Sanchez, after all, Chavez is negotiating on behalf of the Colombian government with leftist rebels holding dozens of hostages.

Others are not so sure, pointing out the hostage situation originated with the Varo/Mezger administration some five years back – even before the California state law was changed in favor of direct democracy, they point out that Messrs Varo and Mezger would not even consider proposals to ban a corrupt delegate system hence holding direct democracy hostage.

They also point out that President Hugo Chavez already controls the High Court, the National Electoral Council, the National Assembly and the only thing left were the elections and the possibility of regime change. In the new constitution being championed by Chavez, the first thing is still there, but the second is not. Chávez can stay in power forever – bringing in Chavez to Coto de Caza to negotiate the release of direct democracy ( held hostage by the CZ board of directors) is like asking President Clinton to help clean up the DC Intern program!.
