   Knowledge and the exercise of free speech, press and opinion are slowly evolving into crimes in OC.

   Who can we thank for this twisted and sick management strategy? Corrupt and arrogant persons who intimidate, extort and abuse authority, each time someone with knowledge or the courage to speak out at a judicial proceeding or in the press, threatens to throw stones at the glass houses of the wealthy and politically connected OC Republican GOP.

   To Mayor Mansoor: What are you hiding? Why are you discouraging public participation in matters of interest and public safety? Why, What and Who are you afraid of? If you discourage free speech at public hearings selectively targetting persons that believe federal immigration laws should have been enforced decades ago, will the wealthy and influential religious institutions in the OC reward you at election time? Afterall, it is no secret that Catholic communities contain large percentages of Hispanic citizens and non-citizens. However, do not ever forget that many Hispanic Americans have followed immigration laws and refused to break the law to become United States citizens.

   Or, is it that many retired or disabled Costa Mesa city employees and law enforcement officers collecting full pensions on the dime of the Costa Mesa taxpayers, who are now employed by politically connected religious institutions who are notorious for obstructing justice and failing to protect God's most precious gift to the world, influencing your decisions as Costa Mesa's Mayor?

   Discouraging free speech, press and opinion is a violation of California's SLAPP legislation. Are you now managing the City of Costa Mesa like a STRATEGIC LAWSUIT AGAINST PUBLIC PARTICIPATION?

   It was great to learn that the Department of Homeland Security will complete 70 miles of new border fencing this month, despite earlier predictions otherwise, as reported by the LA Times.

   It was also great to learn that DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff went to Arizona yesterday to celebrate the wall. This is one step closer to enforcing federal immigration laws that have been ignored and obstructed for decades, without someone or something taking responsibility for the breakdown in failures to enforce federal laws in the first place. Is the new wall a band-aid fix?

   The Wall worked for China and today, China's technology companies have turned to sophisticated computer "hacker" resources, attempting to hack into computers in the United States, without the permission of United States citizens.

   One has to wonder if the new wall will force technology development in Mexico?

   Moxley's Saturday headlines post touched on matters that require public participation and debate. Thanks to the OC Weekly for providing a forum that ENCOURAGES public participation, without fear of employment loss, religious persecution or political backroom hate crimes.

   The California Coastal Commission's release rejecting a long list of silly claims in support of a new toll road by Orange County’s Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) does not even touch the tip of the TCA iceberg as it relates to the business and billing practices continuing within the TCA retained legal advisors and supporters, without accountability for wrongdoing.

   The reality check should be focused on who, why and what has allowed the TCA to enter judgments against users of the toll roads in the tens of thousands of dollars, without guaranteeing a day in a court of law to those accused and garnished with tens of thousands of dollars in judgments. Check the civil public court records in the Orange County Superior Court. Both the Nossman firm and sole practitioner Rex Brady, Esq., are financially gaining a lifestyle for entering judgments against users of the toll road, with the hope that judgments will be turned over to homeowner insurance policies for payment. Think about it, a brilliant investment scheme:

   1. The more homes that are built by developers, the more homeowners that are mandated to carry homeowners' insurance policies to insure against judgments and liability claims.

   2. The sooner the new toll road is built in South County, the richer developers of the new homes will be, leaving many more unsuspecting users of the roll roads open for judgments.

   3. Increasing new homes require increasing homeowner insurance policies, which allows for TCA attorneys' collection of fraudulent judgments, especially if homeowners are told to turn the judgments over to their homeowners insurers.

   4. In reality, the TCA may or may not be a sophisticated Ponzi scheme, with intent for financial gain. Afterall, the TCA's proposed new toll road through one of the most beautiful beaches in California is a self-contained money making venture available for anyone who wants to support the project via bond purchases and/or financing.

   All of the above would be a fair and equal exercise of freedoms guaranteed in the U.S., the right to seek liberty, life, the pursuit of happiness and financial stability. However, there is just ONE major problem, the TCA investment strategy denies due process of the law to the many unsuspecting judgment debtors that are victimized by judgments entered in a court of law, without a day in court.

   Are these types of due process of the law denials reserved for the Orange County developers and elitists that refuse to acknowledge conflicts of interest?
