DID THEY OR DIDN'T THEY?

APPARENTLY, THEY DID - i was out taking photos of ravens in the patrick henry field when some people drove up and spoke to me for a moment before their walk - they complained about all the new unnecessary fences, and among other things said they heard from a full circle farm member that some ground squirrels had been trapped and killed etc (click here)...

i then went over to the peterson field and secretly interviewed what appeared to be one of the farm managers, and he denied the squirrels were being harmed other than through natural means such as gopher snakes, which have not been introduced as of yet (a creature neighbors will absolutely LOVE slithering around their backyards) and while i have not seen the last of the original two red tailed hawks for at least a month, he claimed it has been seen at the field as of late (click here)...

then today a friend came by and told me the president of the local raynor park neighborhood organization heard at least some squirrels had in fact been trapped and drowned, AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY DID IT WITH THE HELP OF THE REPUBLICAN-FREE ZONE DOWN AT CITY OF SUNNYVALE!? read this

NOTE: i saw this coming a mile away; 1) the SCUSD brought in full circle farm under false pretenses by illegally covering-up the presence of wildlife at the peterson field with their bogus 'white paper'; and 2) the SVPD and the sunnyvale city council worked in concert to destabilize and/or silence my efforts to bring the presence of wildlife to the publics' attention by either stalking me at public meetings and/or shutting me up and kicking me out of a city council meeting [see: CCP AND/OR CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY]; 3) and now ground squirrels are the problem?! -- I THINK NOT! -- humans are the real problem here; stupid humans who think they can get away with MURDER - and those humans had better think again > QUESTIONS: 1) what does this say about our environmental review process here in chiphead valley; and 2) what does this say about the validity of our public process here in america?...

WILDLIFE HABITAT UNDER SIEGE

FULL CIRLE FARM finally tilled the ground at the peterson field last week, and when i saw the environmental devastation, i spoke to a farm worker who arrived at dawn and asked about the reckless field tilling, reminding him 1) an incidental take permit was needed - and 2) i was going to contact the EPA and report this environmental abuse - he told me they initially expected 'a bloodbath' [driving a multi-ton tractor over damp soil during the sensitive winter hibernation, possibly crushing ground squirrel burrows etc] but was surprised to see many ground squirrels pop up after the tilling, munching on the newly unearthed food [insects etc] i had a hard time believing this due to the devastation, so i carefully watched the ground for signs of life, but saw no movement whatsoever [i will continue to keep an eye on the field to see if he is indeed correct about their survival]...

the most ridiculous thing about all of this is; the large area of ground between the football field and the street has absolutely no wildlife living on it, but it was not tilled!? they plan on putting buildings there instead of crops!? who are the idiots behind this planning process, anyway?...

also; the red tailed hawks who sat on the post which was placed there for them (see photos) initially showed up early in the morning, but then abruptly left due to the drastic changes in its' habitat - this is the coldest time of the year, so if those hawks do not have something to eat...

and when irrigation eventually occurs, the ground squirrels will likely be forced out of their burrows and/or drowned...

> it appears that various environmental laws have been broken in this process and your voice makes a difference! report this abuse! - call EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson @ 202-564-4700 and/or contact CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME @ http://www.dfg.ca.gov/about/contact.html and/or call Cal-TIP toll-free @ 1-888-DFG-CALTIP (888-334-2258) and/or call (916) 445-0411

NOTE: an activist lady friend of mine recently rode in a vehicle with the head of the california coastal commission - she had been part of a successful lawsuit which went to a federal magistrate who agreed to stop the US navy's dangerous use of sonar in the oceans due to environmental concerns [by the way; there is a newer sub hunting system based upon electromagnetics which essentially does the same thing the present sonar system does, but the technology is presently being ignored] then that idiot mister bush stepped in and ordered the US navy to continue using the sonar ~ similarly; the cities of santa clara and sunnyvale placed duck crossing signs in lik roper's neighborhood way back in the environmentally friendly 1990s - then our psychotic government went psycho as usual and arrested mister roper for feeding the same ducks he got permission to feed from mayor judy nadler at an october 2000 santa clara city council meeting!? [after he had been repeatedly attacked, and with all exculpatory evidence ignored and duty derelicted etc]...

it is quite clear the US government does not discriminate when it comes to discrimination; not only do they fail to care for almost all forms of wildlife [whales, ducks, ground squirrels etc] but also -- unless you are an unborn fetus -- between the depopulation of warfare, carcinogenic pollution and global warming etc, it seems all other life is at risk as well...

KEEPING WILDLIFE HABITAT SAFE?

San Benito County farmers put up fences to keep animals out of their crops; they test water samples monthly from every well and pipeline on their many acres; they also keep thick binders of paperwork to show inspectors from distributors who buy their crops (click here)...

So why has the SCUSD ordered their maintenance crew to build a fence surrounding sensitive wildlife habitat, with a plan of eventually planting row crops within it for a new organic farm at the Peterson field? (see photos) - Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? - I said long ago the wildlife which was here first would eventually be demonized, so why don't they just use a portion of the Patrick Henry field for row crops, which supports no wildlife habitat? - There would still be enough space for 3 soccer fields at the Patrick Henry property, and another field over at Raynor Park - You know; what is the difference between Michael Vick's animal abuse, and the SCUSD's destruction of sensitive wildlife habitat? (click here X) And how has the Corn Palace managed all these years without any fences surrounding its' property? (click here) - MANY QUESTIONS; FEW ANSWERS...

GREAT HORNED OWL

i talked to the old man with the dog today, and he said there is a GREAT HORNED OWL in the vicinity of the peterson field - many people witnessed the bird last night at dusk, and someone supposedly even got photos of the bird - click here to see video - photo source: http://www.nps.gov/

'WILD' DOGS AND BABY GROUND SQUIRRELS

i talked to 'the old man with the dog' today and he said that some people are allowing their dogs to roam around and catch baby ground squirrels at the peterson field (see photos above and below & click here) the dog in the photo below is just doing what comes naturally, and most of the year ground squirrels are almost impossible for dogs to catch, but during the spring and summer months until around september, fledgling babies come up for some sunshine and can be quite vulnerable -

SEE PHOTOS BELOW: i found large boulders (photo A &B) dirt (photo C) and what appears to be sand (photo D) covering various ground squirrel burrows that were active as of last week!? (what kind of monsters would do such a thing?) someone else at the field told me that they were 'letting the field die' (!?) to make way for the new farm (?!) i asked the SCUSD maintenance guys what was up with the farm, and they told me they knew nothing about it - what is the difference between poisoning ground squirrels, and starving them to death by denying them of water by turning off the sprinkler system?

the trees that line the peterson field would be a good place to install owl boxes for barn owl introduction (see photo E below) this would provide a form of natural ground squirrel population maintenance other than dogs and SCUSD maintenance people...

SIGN THE PETITION! - THE PETERSON FIELD IS HOME TO MANY SPECIES OF AVIAN WILDLIFE (SEE PHOTO ABOVE) - IN FACT; 'THE OLD MAN WITH THE DOG' TOLD ME TODAY THAT HE SAW A RED TAILED HAWK HUNTING AT THE FIELD JUST YESTERDAY!? ~ YOU CAN SIGN A PETITION TO PROTECT WILDLIFE HABITAT AT THE PETERSON MIDDLE SCHOOL FIELD IN SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA @ http://www.petitiononline.com/ROPER9/petition.html

ALSO; I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO REGISTER WITH THE GREEN PARTY (@ http://www.cagreens.org/register/) TO SEND A MUCH NEEDED ENVIRONMENTAL MESSAGE - THEN VOTE STRATEGICALLY DEMOCRATIC TO KEEP KEY DEMOCRATIC PLAYERS IN POWER!

SCUSD COVER-UP - KILL 'EM ALL!?

i went down to the peterson field this morning to run at the track and noticed SCUSD maintenance workers covering-up ground squirrel burrows with dirt from a large truck - i eventually approached the workers with a video camera and asked them what they were doing to the ground squirrels, and one of the workers jumped out of the truck and said this...

the SCUSD has a long record of abuse against animals (click here) so attention absolutely must be drawn to this story to bring an end to this heartless cruelty once and for all...

after witnessing this event and returning home to secure the video evidence gathered, i found two plain clothes santa clara cops at my front door asking me about duck feeding again - as you all probably know; i was attacked several times while feeding ducks and the police never arrested anyone regardless of my evidence gathered (click here)...

the santa clara PIGS at my door have everything to do with a lawsuit i filed against the city of santa clara last week regarding discrimination, violating their oath by failing to protect and serve, wrongful arrest, violation of civil rights statutes, etc etc etc...

(i probably got officer pablo lopez in trouble, and now he's pissed off - but that's just too damn bad, now isn't it? i realized later that i made what he probably considers a 'plea bargain' to get out of jail; but what i really made was essentially an agreement under duress to my abductor during an illegal extraordinary duck feeder rendition, so until they come up with a valid ordinance that applies to this situation, as far as i am concerned the city of santa clara doesn't have a pot to piss in, because the ducks will be back next year and they will continue to be cared for; PERIOD - i told you all before that i would rather be shot dead than sacrifice my civil liberties and/or freedoms by sitting in jail for one more minute for feeding ducks i received official permission to feed - you know; the US government needs to realize that there are some things they cannot stop, and compassion is one of those things - so they can [and probably will] continue on being the demonically possessed monsters they are, but they just need to LEAVE ME OUT OF IT, thanks! - you see; this may seem a little weird to some of you out there, but i knew that when i posted this on 21 jun 2007, there would be some sort of 'repercussive payback' so to speak; as one cannot do good deeds for the universe without reprisal from 'the dark side' - and basically; i looked straight into the face of evil when that SCUSD maintenance man said "we're gonna kill 'em all!" (and also when pablo lopez showed up at my door with his gun, and no; this is not some sort of delusionary statement from a religious fanatic, quite simply; there is good and evil and the only law is 'do what you will but harm none', and both of these people had clear intent to harm - if there is a devil, it is within devolution) and while we all generally want a diverse police force, sending a lesbian and latino cop to talk to a caucasian duck feeder opens the door for reverse sexism/racism - for example; i really don't care if the SF chronicle recently ran a feel-good article about a lesbian SF cop, there is another side to things; if i was mister olenak's lesbian daughter and got repeatedly attacked, the lesbian cop would not be ignoring and/or suppressing my gathered evidence - and the same goes for the latino cop, who would have warned or even arrested mister olenak for making his threats early on if i was a latino - also; 1) if i was an old lady; someone would have been arrested; and/or 2) if i was an old man; someone would have been arrested; and/or 3) if i was a black man; someone would have been arrested; and/or if i was a teenage girl; someone would have been arrested - so why has no one been arrested? [can anyone say "discrimination"? - how about "political retaliation"? - hmmm...i didn't think so] tell you what; i have already called the office of the california attorney general, so if our cop-lovin' santa clara county DA decides to obstruct justice by covering-up her cop husbands' violent conspiracy, i plan to appeal her decision as well)

anyway; they brought up ordinance 6.15.010 (which clearly does not apply to this situation) then ordered me to stop feeding ducks in the city of santa clara blah blah blah - the city of santa clara will stop at nothing to retaliate and intimidate whistleblowers, and this is just further proof -- as they left i said "i'll see you in court!" (they even insinuated that i was 'creating a nuisance', when the only real nuisance i know of is the excess traffic travelling to and from the various SCUSD properties; traffic which our neighborhood has been complaining about for years - and this just happens to be the same traffic that is 'inconvenienced' by the presence of ducks crossing the street in front of city-installed duck crossing signs!? - question: if a commercial enterprise like 7-11 would not be allowed to do business at the patrick henry property -- mainly due to traffic congestion issues -- why are several entities allowed to do the same? - and what about the MASSIVE nuisance the city of santa clara is planning on shoving down our neighborhoods' collective throat with the proposed new 8 story mixed-usage KOHLS structure? X)

(i will now be starting a campaign educating apartment dwelling folks about animal rights and/or human rights and/or the protection of civil liberties and/or civil rights - not encouraging, but also not discouraging further duck feeding at the apartments so our beloved ducks can be cared for in a compassionate fashion - and isn't it a bit strange that people can get away with poisoning ground squirrels, violently attacking duck feeders, lying to investigators, ignoring exculpatory evidence and violating civil rights statutes etc - but i can't feed the ducks?...hmmm - i think those little SC piggies need to go f#%k themselves - and as for the democrats in control of the city of sunnyvale and/or santa clara; all this green this and green that is leading to the inevitable; the green party taking your shit over, so i think both of your crooked backscratching political parties better get with the program or get the f#%k out of our faces, cuz we don't need any more bullshit than we already have, got it?) related story: X

> 14 jun 2006 - SCUSD COVER-UP - last year at this time there was a burgeoning ground squirrel population in the peterson field just behind the peterson middle school bleachers, but after telling roger barnes of the SCUSD about the wildlife in the field at a public hearing, someone ordered the squirrels to be poisoned and no one has ever been brought to justice for it (15-30 protected animals were illegally poisoned)...the SCUSD failed do a complete environmental impact report (EIR) and instead tried to cover-up the presence of protected wildlife by destroying the evidence of it, and the sunnyvale animal control failed to press charges against the SCUSD etc - this heinous crime will not be forgotten any time soon, and here is the photographic evidence; 1) EXHIBIT A - 2) EXHIBIT B - 3) EXHIBIT C - when i went to peterson high school they had a proud tradition of environmental protection, and it absolutely sickens me to see the state the SCUSD is in at the present time when it comes to this same issue - ground squirrels are almost cuter than bunny rabbits and anyone who harms them is not only a criminal, BUT ALSO A BIG OLD STINKIN' PIECE OF DOG POOP! - related stories: (1) (2) (3) > 17 jun 2006 / BURROWING OWLS - interesting fact: i talked to the long-time maintenance man of the cabana club on friday morning and he said that back in the 1970s there were somewhere between 15-20 burrowing owls who lived just behind the peterson field bleachers...
