Posted by CotoBlogzz

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA  -Travis Christopher Unholz, an Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) deputy was convicted today of committing domestic violence against his wife and then violating a protective order by attempting to obtain a firearm.

Unholz, 36, Trabuco Canyon, pleaded guilty to one felony count of attempted possession of a firearm in violation of a protective order and one misdemeanor count of domestic battery with corporal injury. He was sentenced to 19 days in jail and three years of formal probation with domestic violence terms including participation in a 52-week batterer's treatment program. He is also barred from owning or possessing any firearms and a protective order was issued prohibiting him from having any contact with the victim or his two children.

According to the Orange County District Attorney's (OCDA) office, sometime after 5:00 p.m. on Jan. 30, 2011, Unholz got into an argument with his wife, Jane Doe, and committed domestic violence by pushing her to the floor and causing her to hit her head. The defendant's two children from a previous relationship were in the home at the time. Jane Doe called a friend, who reported the abuse to OCSD. OCSD investigated this case and deputies arrested the defendant that night. He was booked into the Orange County Jail.

On Jan. 31, 2011, Unholz posted $50,000 bail and was released from custody. A protective order was served on the defendant barring him from having any direct or indirect contact through a non-attorney third party with the victim. The order also barred the defendant from possessing or attempting to acquire any firearms.

On Feb. 2, 2011, Unholz contacted a friend and requested that his friend assist him in acquiring an automatic weapon and survival kit. The friend reported the conversation to OCSD, who arrested Unholz that evening.

Final Categories of the Davy HOA Awards announced

Posted By CotoBlogzz 027-2011

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – The CotoBuzz Journal, a community journal with a focus on HOA/CID, public safety and government corruption in general,  today announced the official categories of the 2011 Homeowners Association  Davy Awards.  View the Davy Awards as the Un-CAI Awards:  For example, the Orange County Chapter of the Community Association’s Industry (CAI)  presented the homeowners’ association industry awards  at the chapter's leadership awards dinner  February 25, 2011.  

Now, considering that the CAI has asserted that the David-VS-Goliath stories are mostly AstroTurf®  manufactured by the media, including the CotoBuzz Journal, despite evidence to the contrary,  we figured the industry needed balance, and hence the Davy Awards.

Consider for example the California Supreme Court Decision on Golden Rain Foundation vs Franzand Golden Rain Foundation vs Lyon:  On  January 5, 2009, Judge Ronald L. Bauer ruled on David Lyon’s favor on his motion for an award of fees incurred during the litigation – even then, GRF still refuses to abide by the disclosure rules: David-VS-Goliath you think?

Arguably, the  CAI Awards are designed as a public relations ploy, a way to legitimize and attempt to polish the image of members who may have been tarnished in the media, fairly or not.

For example, Swedelson & Gottlieb associate Alex Noland was nominated for three CAI Awards, while property Management Company PCM has at least two employees, including spokesperson Wendy Buckman.  Additionally, PCM has managed to get Laguna Woods Village director Heather Gerson, as Director of the Year, even though MS. Gerson was appointed, not elected, but happens to be a staunch supporter of PCM- who just happens to have been sued by the lthe local Board of Directors.  

And the categories are?

The Davy Award categories:

The Rudy Award – the Rudy Award will be issued to a deserving David:  A homeowners who doggedly stands for fairness and justice in the common interest development environment, even it means that he or she has to fight the local Goliath.

The Real Jeroboam Award – the CAI issues a Jeroboam Award.  Consider that the Biblical Jeroboam Jer-o-bo'-am (yarobh`am irefers to  Septuagint Hieroboam, usually assumed to have been derived from riyb and `am, and signifying "the people contend," or, "he pleads the people's cause"): The name was borne by two kings of Israel. And yet, the CAI issues this award to legal counsel.  Hence the Real Jeroboam Award.

The Real Servant Award – this award is issues to the most deserving member of the board of directors who works for the people and not for the property management company, legal counsel and or other interests.

Most Abusive Board – issued to the most abusive HOA board of directors.

The DODO Award – issued to the directors who most exhibit symptoms of the Bell Syndrome

The Vulture Award – Issued to the most deserving legal counsel

The Sleazy Award – Issued to the most deserving property management company

The Ostrich Award – Issued to the resident most supportive of a board usually disconnected from reality

A recipient of the Davy award must be nominated by a resident in his or her respective CID and is the one getting the most votes – One vote per  home.  Nominations are open nation-wide.

The CotoBuzz Journal  will issue a list of finalists  for the Davy Award by June 22, 2011, with an award ceremony scheduled for August 2011 -  the venue and exact date to be determined.

The Real Adult Conversation: Place the US on Chapter 11

View organized public labor as legalized prostitution

Posted By CotoBlogzz

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – The more Washington DC politicians talk about the need for an adult conversation to tackle out-of-control spending, the more they sound like spoiled teenagers - on both sides of the aisle.

On the one hand the President of the United States fails to lead by proposing a non-starter budget for fear the opposition will demagogue his message – something he has been guilty of for the last two years.  On the other hand, were it not for the Tea Party, Governor Christie and Governor Walker, the Republicans would not even consider tougher cuts and do not have the intestinal fortitude  to shut down the government for fear the opposition will demagogue it. 

Where is the adult conversation taking place, if any?

We have been warning about  the Triple Threat:  1) Unions, 2) Lobbyists and 3) Parasitic Bureaucracies for years:  Unquestionably and consistent with President Reagan’s views, public unions are an anachronism and have little in common with private unions – there is no competition in government – it is not like we can go and hire the German government to manage the US Economic System, for instance. View organized labor as legalized prostitution.  Union leaders raise money for politicians and the politicians pay the leaders back with unsustainable benefits.

We have also been warning about the US Economic Freedom’s Triple Constraint:  1) ObamaCare, 2)  Card Check and 3)  Cap & Trade.  Some have argue that Card Check is dead – it is not.  Just wit the most often visitor to the White House and what public union leaders are doing in Wisconsin.  Cap & Trade is now being taken up by Parasitic Bureaucracy EPA.

The point?  The Real Adult Conversation is this:  Shut down the federal government.  More than 80% of the bureaucracies are parasitic and should be shut down any way.  The EPA, the DOE, the EEOC and so on.  The US Foreign Policy as being implemented would be laughable if the consequences were not as serious.

So what happens when the government shuts down? At that point  leave the The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) as the only funded agency. Additionally  have the United States Intelligence Community (IC) report  to the JCS  on a temporary basis-  Consider that the IC  is a cooperative federation of 16 separate United States government agencies that work together to conduct intelligence activities considered.  Member organizations of the IC include intelligence agencies, military intelligence, and civilian intelligence and analysis offices within federal executive departments. Consider that to support these 16 main agencies,  there are some  1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies in 10,000 locations in the United States that are working on counterterorrism, homeland security, and intelligence, and that the intelligence community as a whole includes 854,000 people who hold top-secret clearance

Another point is the most vital federal government work is enormous; just imagine the energy and resources required to manage the parasitic bureaucracies -  that is more than 80% of the federal bureaucracies.

The last point is that after the partial shutdown of the federal government, more than 80% of the federal bureaucracies either disappear or merge with others.  Now, can we have a REAL adult conversation?

What is good for the Presidential Goose is too Obtuse for the Gander

Posted by CotoBlogzz 02-24-2011

During the first two years of the Obama Administration, the US Congress and the President passed major legislation concocted in smoke-filled backrooms using tactics such as the Lousiana Purchase, The Sale of Stupak’s Soul, the Cornhuskers Kickback and so on.  Such legislation includes the recently deemed unconstitutional ObamaCare.  The usual response to critics of such approach to governance usually was “Get over it, I won, that’s what elections are for”.

Now that the majority in the US House of Representatives want to responsibly deal with the national debt and derail ObamaCare, the opposition wants cooperation.

Worse – When Governor Walker in Wisconsin decided he was going to tackle the state’s fiscal irresponsibility head on, the President not only argue that it was an attack against public unions, the same ones President Reagan characterizes as an anachronism in the 21^st century, Mr. Obama in essence endorsed the Lame Drain – the minority legislators fleeing the state to avoid quorum- what happened to the argument that “that is what elections are for”

Then there is the government’s indefensible act against DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) on the grounds that it may be unconstitutional,  while it actively defends the unconstitutionality of ObamaCare.

Or the Middle East Policy Psychosis – denouncing a US ally, while simply watching along with other world leaders as Libya burns for some nine days, without saying and or doing anything other than to wallow in the never never nebulosities of open ended possibilities.


What takes the cake is the "Let's Get Bloody"  message to union,  in Boston by Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) in the aftermath of the Arizona Massacre where the president denounced the vitriol blaming the enemy in a speech that sounded more like the launching of a 2012 presidential bid, rather than trying to comfort  nation. You may recall that a psychotic Arizona Sheriff blamed the Tea Party for the massacre while failing to take any responsibility for total lack of security.  In the aforementioned message, Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) fired up a group of union members in Boston wi urging them to work down in the trenches to fend off limits to workers' rights like those proposed in Wisconsin. "I'm proud to be here with people who understand that it's more than just sending an email to get you going," Capuano said, according to the Statehouse News. "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary."

While Capuano issued a brief apology: "I strongly believe in standing up for worker rights and my passion for preserving those rights may have gotten the best of me yesterday in an unscripted speech. I wish I had used different language to express my passion and I regret my choice of words." the silence from the White House and other Democrats and the psychotic Sheriff, has been deafening

 

The only plausible conclusion is that what is good for the presidential goose is too obtuse for the gander.  That is, an excellent impersonation of  Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi, where the minority rules.

Coto de Caza's Psychosis: Form over Substance

Posted By CotoBlogzz 02-24-2011

Coto de Caza, CA - The March 2011 edition of the CZ Master Association's- the largest homeowners association in Coto de Caza -  letter highlights theCZ Master Associations’  concern with Coto being “marred with graffiti by some unknown perpetrators,” according to president Bob Varo,  while completely neglecting to take any action in word and or deed when confronted with the worst public safety scenario in the history of Coto de Caza.He goes on to say I am uncertain what drives young people to do this vandalism, but I am certain that the parents of these perpetrators would be aghast if it were their child who is caught."  What Mr,. Varo does not say is that in Coto de Caza, the majority of crime and vandalism perpetrators are  not kids, but  adults, in what we refer to as the Michael Jackson Syndrome - the same thing applies to traffic violations, by the way.

Refer to the piece published in the CotoBuzz Journal titled Coto de Caza, A den of Thieves & Rebel Rousers.  Seems like the association is more concerned with form than substance.  Perhaps taking a page out of the US Middle East Poilicy playbook, as it watches along with other leaders, for days saying and doing nothing, then wallowing in the never never nebulosities of open-ended possibilities.

Worse.  Varo issues a call to action:  "Do something.  Don't just drive by an pass it off as a teenage prank.  It is serious and getting more so."  It is indeed serious and getting more so.  In fact it is dangerous, but the association and Mr. Varo refuse to do anything about it.

We pray that such depraved indifference will not result in a fatality, such as the one we warned the 2005 CZ board of directors, dismissed it, and the next day we had the first traffic fatality in the community.

New HOA Awards Announced

Posted by CotoBlogzz February 10.2011

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – The Orange County Chapter of the Community Association’s Industry (CAI)  will be presenting  industry awards  at the chapter's leadership awards dinner to be held on February 25, 2011 at Disney's grand Californian Hotel. Considering that the CAI has asserted that the David-VS-Goliath stories are mostly AstroTurf®  and manufactured by the media, including the CotoBuzz Journal, despite evidence to the contrary, such as the California Supreme Court Decision on Golden Rain Foundation vs Franzand Golden Rain Foundation vs Lyon,  on  January 5, 2009, Judge Ronald L. Bauer ruled on David Lyon’s favor on his motion for an award of fees incurred during the litigation, for example.

The  aforementioned CAI Awards by all appearances, seem to be designed as a public relations ploy, a way to legitimize and attempt to polish the image of members who may have been tarnished in the media, fairly or not. We have asked the Orange County Chapter of the CAI, for the criteria and list of finalists, but as of this writing, we do not have such information.

Swedelson &  Gottlieb associate Alex Noland has been nominated for three CAI Awards, while property Management Company PCM has at least two employees, including PCM's spokesperson Wendy Buckman.  Additionally, PCM has managed to get Laguna Woods Village director Heather Gerson nominated for Director of the Year, even though MS. Gerson was appointed, not elected, but happens to be a staunch supporter of PCM.  We should note that each time we have contacted PCM and or Swedelson & Gottlieb to comment on the veracity of what we published, both have refused to comment.

Now, take a peak at the series, a HOA’s Legal Mind – a Terrible Thing to Waste, and the PCM Ultimatum to the Laguna Woods Village local governance, as prototypical behavior.  Now consider that PCM is a CAI Vintner Title Sponsors at $2000 a pop, while, Swedelson & Gottlieb  is the paradoxically-named Jeroboam sponsor at  $750

In response, we have proposed the yearly Davy Awards to include at least four categories:  1)  Board of Directors 2)  Legal Counsel 3)  Pro-Board Residents 4)  Property Management Company and 5) Other Service Providers.

Some of the specific Awards suggested to date are listed below.  Nominations in any of the aforementioned categories are accepted for CID's in California, as well as nation-wide.  Specific award  and or category suggestions are accepted now.

We shall publish the final names February 25, 2011 and will issue a list of finalists by June 22, 2011, with an award ceremony scheduled for August 2011, the venue and exact date to be determined.

Laguna Nigel woman charged with copy-cat false report

Posted By CotoBlogzz February 10, 2011

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA  - Danielle Rene Deichman has been charged with filing a false police report for fabricating a story that she was a victim of an attack with details matching a similar crime covered by the media one week prior, according to the Orange County District Attorney's (OCDA) office.  

Deichman, 20, Laguna Niguel, was charged late yesterday, Feb. 9, 2011, with one misdemeanor count of filing a false police report and one misdemeanor count of resisting arrest. . She is scheduled to be arraigned March 4, 2011.

On Feb. 2, 2011, Deichman reported to the Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) that she had been attacked several hours earlier while walking on La Paz Road in Laguna Niguel. Deichman is accused of falsely claiming that a man had grabbed her from behind and tried to push her to the ground, but she was able to kick him in the groin and escape.   Turns out that according to the OCDA, the  incident was almost identical in detail to an attack that had occurred exactly one week earlier in the same location, which was covered by the media.

Following investigation and a review of the statements provided by Deichman, OCSD investigators concluded that the defendant had filed a false police report after fabricating the story. On Feb. 3, 2011, investigators arrested the defendant after conducting a follow-up interview.

While she was being handcuffed, Deichman is accused of struggling and resisting arrest. The arresting officers sustained minor injuries while subduing the defendant.
