ILLEGAL LOCSD SURVEY


After a two-year campaign of terror based on misrepresentations, threats and lies deliberately intended to deceive, subjugate, coerce and intimidate residents of Los Osos, the LOCSD terrorists were faced with their first extremely pivotal deception.

It was a necessary step to avoid laws in order to extort property owners in the Prohibition Zone, making them responsible for the hundreds of millions of dollars for the unaffordable costs of the most expensive (per capita) sewer system in the history of the world.

June 2001 was a very important moment for the terrorists because it was to accomplish a number of goals. It was a carefully conceived ploy intended to create the illusion that once accomplished there was nothing left to do but approve a project design, borrow the money, issue and sell Obligation Bonds and begin construction.

It was a scheme specifically conceived to deprive the residents of Los Osos of their legal rights and open the door for the terrorists to steal hundreds of millions of dollars in order to pay for the forced unneeded, unwanted and unaffordable sewer.  

The June 2001 illegal Assessment District vote was a veiled fraud the terrorists used to ignore specific laws that would have allowed residents to prevent the Reign of Terror.

The first law avoided was one that mandates any District proposing to construct a sewer project to go before the community, present all of the facts (truthfully) as to why a sewer is needed, the costs, the length of time to build, etc., then ask residents through a vote if they will approve the project. They must receive a 51% (or greater) voter approval otherwise they are forbidden to proceed with a project. This was NEVER done.

Another law deliberately avoided addresses the ability to seek and secure an SRF Construction Loan. It requires a District to once again go before the community and present all of the facts (truthfully) regarding how much money the project will cost, how much money is needed to be borrowed from the State Revolving Fund (SRF) and what the financial obligations to residents would be.

Once residents have been thoroughly informed of the facts (truth), the District must again hold a vote to ask permission from the community to seek an SRF Construction Loan and receive a 51% (or greater) voter approval otherwise they are forbidden to apply for an SRF Construction Loan. This was NEVER done.

Before a District can issue and sell Obligation Bonds they must follow the same procedures as before. They must present all of the facts (truth) to residents, why they need to issue the bonds, the total face value of the bonds, how much it will cost each resident and for how long they will be obligated to pay (have their property liened).

Then, as before, the District must ask permission to issue the bonds by placing their request on a ballot. For this they must receive a 75% (or greater) voter approval otherwise Obligation Bonds may not be issued. This was NEVER done.

The law requires that a community approve the project, give their permission to apply for an SRF Loan and permission to issue the bonds before the State Water Board is able to allow a District to apply for an SRF loan.

The Regional Water Quality Control Board was aware of these requirements and aware that the LOCSD terrorists would not satisfy them. In order to avoid community rejection of the project, the RWQCB terrorists allowed the LOCSD terrorists to carry out their illegal ploy and deceptively roll everything into one vote.

In addition to the June 2001 vote being illegal, the LOCSD terrorists increased the fear factor against voters by disallowing a secret ballot. Instead of a separate ballot marked only with lot size and number of sewer connections, the terrorists placed the names of each voter on specific ballots.

Voters were not told of this ahead of time because the terrorists knew that there would have been a community-wide outcry, exposing them and possibly endangering their efforts. Many voters who may not have been fully aware of the machinations of the terrorists to that point would have questioned the reason for disallowing a secret ballot, forcing a public justification of which there was none.

An open ballot had the effect the terrorists wanted which was to prevent a number of voters from voting as they were afraid of reprisals if they voted “No.” Consequently less than half of the registered voters participated. The terrorists counted those as votes in favor of the project despite the fact there were no votes.

Since 1999, the terrorists had done their best through a campaign of terror to castigate and humiliate anyone who spoke out against the fraud. The terrorists had been faced with a number of community challenges including a federal legal action that was dashed by an alleged corrupt federal judge without comment before it was ever allowed to be heard in court.   

Whenever opposition surfaced at town meetings or other public venues the Telegram-Tribune and other local media outlets carried articles and editorials (allegedly scripted by Pandora Nash-Karner) denouncing the opposition as being a small group of “sewer activists” or people who had no knowledge of the facts, and always included the hammer of a RWQCB “mandated” sewer, higher costs for delays and no “low-interest” loans.

It was common for every one letter to the editor in the Tribune opposing the project or condemning the LOCSD and RWQCB terrorists there would be two or more castigating and berating those in opposition. These would always be supported by an unsigned editorial filled with the terrorist’s talking points. Whenever the Tribune editorial staff was asked who wrote a particular damaging editorial the query was met with, “It is not the policy of the paper to release the name of the writer.”

In 2001, the LOCSD terrorists were preparing for an extremely illegal vote that, if successful, would allow them to extort and financially enslave all property owners in the Prohibition Zone. It was a key part of their scheme for which failure was not an option.

In late February, early March 2001, the LOCSD began sending “Messages” to voters that were fraught with lies and threats, intended to coerce and intimidate voters and deprive them of the facts they needed to make an informed, intelligent decision in an upcoming illegal vote.

In conjunction with the “Messages,” a front group directed by Pandora Nash-Karner calling themselves the “Vote Yes For The Sewer Committee” began sending out mailers echoing the disinformation, threats and lies of the LOCSD “Messages.”

They all included the 19-word lie, “The RWQCB has mandated that Los Osos build a sewer. Los Osos has no choice,” as well as empty threats of a more expensive “mandated” project, higher costs for delays, fines of up to $10,000 per household, etc., if the vote failed.

As the June vote drew nearer, the LOCSD, the RWQCB and the Karner organization needed to see how their efforts of coercion and intimidation were working. Despite a veiled confidence, the terrorists were concerned that the opposition might undermine their effort and needed to be certain their Campaign of Terror had succeeded.  

To that end, in March, 2001, they hired the firm of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates, who specialize in “custom-designed quantitative and qualitative opinion research and strategic advice.” A Surveys ’R Us to fit your needs business.

With guidance from the terrorists, they prepare an illegal 18-page survey entitled “Los Osos Community Services District Wastewater Survey, Final. Not Weighted By Assessment.”  Read the final draft replete with instructions to the interviewers and the results of their survey by clicking on the link.

Sentinel note: It is not illegal for an elected official or body to conduct a survey as long as that survey is not slanted in any particular direction and that it is intended to simply provide information that helps the official or body comply with the wishes of the electorate.

It is very illegal to craft a deliberately bias survey that will be used by an elected or civilian body to misinform, intimidate, deceive and/ or coerce voters prior to a vote or to be used by any elected or civilian body to continue or promote any deception in order to deceive or force residents into compliance.

The Sentinel will analyze this survey question-by-question to help you realize how they used it to continue their campaign of fear, deception, coercion and intimidation prior to the illegal vote.

Question 1 clearly seeks out property owners only. Renters were illegally precluded from voting.

Sentinel note: Under the law, if there is a measure on a ballot that would or could impose a rent increase renters, renters must be allowed to participate in the vote.

Renters were deliberately excluded because the LOCSD terrorists knew there were a large number of renters, most or all of which would potentially oppose the illegal Assessment District in order to prevent rent increases.

Question 2 determines how many registered voters would actually vote. According to the survey, 80% would probably vote. This was a significant number of potential unknowns, too many to take chances.

This told the terrorists they needed to continue their campaign of terror in order to give them the best opportunity to either influence a majority of voters to vote “Yes,” or believe there was “no choice” and not vote at all.

Question 3 deliberately lists unrelated issues.The only issue being discussed throughout the community at that time was the wastewater project. When you read the list of issues you quickly see that a majority do not apply to anything the LCOSD is able to address, others are deliberately vague leaving only two related issues directly addressing the sewer: “Wastewater Treatment & Water quality/nitrate pollution in water.”

Notice how they married “water quality” with “nitrate pollution in water.” This was done to continue to deceive voters into believing nitrates from septic tanks were polluting the public water and that a sewer would make things better.

Question 4 is clearly designed to show the terrorists how their propaganda has been working to that point. The pattern of non-issues such as unemployment, public education and other issues had nothing to do with anything the LOCSD was responsible for. The non-issue questions are a way to test the response to the alleged wastewater issue.

The wording of “g,” “The lack of a safe and efficient system to dispose of wastewater” was the key to assessing the affect their lies had to convince people that septic tanks are not safe.

As is clearly seen the “Wastewater treatment/septic tanks” issue received an overwhelming percentage of people who believed that septic tanks were not safe.

Question 5 tests the effect the terrorist propaganda machine has on deceiving the public regarding the perceived image of the agencies. The question begins with, “… let me mention a few government agencies that are active in the Los Osos area.” Number one, LOCSD.

They only listed two “agencies.” The “County” is not an agency. Why not include the Public Health Department and the Planning Commission?

The County mishandling of the Los Osos water issues during their tenure was a failure and the alleged reason for creating the LOCSD. The inclusion of the “County” in the survey had no purpose other than to test public opinion.  

The most important result was the 70% approval of the LOCSD. It indicated that despite the vigorous efforts to expose the fraud, a majority of the community believed the deception. The 7% disapproval of the RWQCB was a positive result as it indicated a majority of the community still believed that the RWQCB had “mandated” the sewer and was therefore responsible for the majority of the chaos the community was suffering.

Question 6 told them a great majority of the community was aware of the sewer project. Since there was no way of predicting how many people might be or had been influenced by the opposition, this told the terrorists they needed to continue to flood the community with the lies, threats and misinformation.

Question 7 began by showing that a little more than one-quarter of the community was aware of a “new system proposed” and that allegedly alternatives were being sought. Of course there was no “new system” or any “alternatives.” This was a smoke and mirrors question to test the knowledge of the community.

Funding and location were tied for second position concern but not a significant number to cause concern. Number three was the underground location and the park. Not much concern there.

The next category was important because it continued the illusion a sewer was needed due to community growth. The response was low which was an indication to the terrorists that the issue of a community build out had not yet caused alarm and that a sewer would answer any questions that a build out would cause water pollution.

This question also told the terrorists how insignificant most of the other issues were to the general public. It was additional reaffirmation that their campaign of fear is working.

Question 8 told them how many respondents believed they were in the Prohibition Zone, the focus of the survey.

Question 9 was extremely important because it told the terrorists how effective their campaign of fear had been to that point. The wording of the question is clever. “Would you support or oppose… a new wastewater treatment system (not a sewer) that would remove and treat wastewater from all homes and businesses in the Los Osos area?”

In fact, the proposed deadly pathogen-producing factory was and is being forced on selected residents inside the Prohibition Zone, not all of Los Osos. This question gave the illusion that the entire community was to be sewered.

This told the terrorists they needed to keep up the propaganda regarding the alleged clean water benefits of a sewer and of how a sewer would centralize wastewater processing, thereby eliminating the possibility of any pollution to the land or bay allegedly caused by septic tanks.

Question 10 is extremely important. The first sentence of this question is an absolute lie. It states that the “special election” is being held to “…give property owners the opportunity to vote … on a wastewater treatment project for Los Osos.”

This was extremely important because it made the respondent/voter believe that the illegal June 2001 vote had been to allow property owners to approve or disapprove the sewer. After the successful vote, the LOCSD terrorists were able to publicly state that the majority of Los Osos had voted to approve the sewer with little contradiction.

The next paragraph was an abbreviated pitch for the sewer replete with all of the terrorist salient talking points, ending with two of the most important tools of intimidation and coercion, safe, protected drinking water and protection against the alleged RWQCB fines.
   
Everyone wants safe drinking water and the alleged RWQCB fines had been one of the key threats used to coerce and intimidate residents. For 2 years the community had been told that the RWQCB had “mandated” the sewer, that Los Osos had no choice and that if we didn’t build it, residents would be fined up to $10,000 per day by the RWQCB.

The third paragraph actually addressed an “assessment.” It deliberately included a small monthly figure of $19 dollars as each property owner’s share to help pay back the cost of municipal bonds.” This accomplished the illusion that the cost to fund the deadly pathogen-producing factory would be small and continued the illusion that this was a vote to approve a sewer and the sale of bonds.

The illegal Assessment District vote was not about approving a sewer or bonds. It was about illegally assessing all of the properties in the PZ while helping to reinforce the illusion that a majority of property owners had approved the sewer and the sale of bonds.

The terrorists were confident that most people would never bother to check the state and federal laws regarding voter approval for the project, for construction loans, for assessments or for bonds.

It was critical hat voters not know that the project could not even be considered without at least an independent 51% voter approval, that no SRF Construction Loan could be applied for without another 51% voter approval, that no Obligation Bonds could be issued without a separate 75% voter approval and that no assessment district could be created until these issues had been resolved.

The figure of $19 per month was a carrot to placate voter fears of large fees and costs. In fact, not long after the vote had passed, the LOCSD illegally issued Obligation Bonds and assessed property owners approximately $350 per year in additional property taxes to pay the interest.

Since the successful outcome of the illegal June 2001 vote and the issuance of the illegal Obligation Bonds, all property owners in the PZ have had their property taxes illegally increased by a minimum of $350 per year and their property liened in order to force compliance. Extortion.

Not only was the June 2001 vote illegal, the sale of bonds illegal and the use of the illegal vote to increase property taxes, Proposition 218 forbids charging property owners for any services they are not receiving. All of the money illegally collected by the LOCSD to pay interest debt on the illegal Obligation Bonds since 2003 must be returned with interest.

The Los Osos R.I.C.O. Civil Action will address this issue.

The last paragraph of Question 10 simply tests the effectiveness of the lies and propaganda of the first three. An overwhelming 72% voter approval is an extremely comfortable position for the terrorists. Their campaign of deceit, coercion and intimidation is working in these areas.

Question 11 tells the terrorists what specific propaganda has been working. The first five choices were all they were interested in. At least 31% believed Los Osos needed a sewer; 18% believed a sewer and the alleged benefits are good for the community; a sewer would protect the water resources (which it does not) and $19 a month (again) is “affordable.”

The threats of RWQCB fines were low on the response list. This was a two-sided monster. On one side, the threats of $10,000 per day fines were a grave concern to a number of residents. This was always an effective tool for the terrorists.

On the other side, the threats of fines appeared to rank low on the respondents list of priorities. This was not a good result as it reduced the confidence level of the terrorists to continue using the threat of fines to coerce and intimidate.

In the end, the terrorists continues to include $10,000 per day threats of fines if the June 2001 measure failed and, later, when delays were caused by residents who were opposed to the project.

Question 12 sets up the voter for additional costs. The survey gives the respondent five choices, the lowest being $80 dollars, the highest, $120 dollars. They were very careful to start at a figure that, when combined with the $19 per month, was under $100 with a top figure not exceeding $139 per month.  

The ploy here was to minimize the actual cost estimates of a minimum of $245 dollars per month that had been publicly revealed by the opposition. They deliberately did not address the cost of de-commissioning each septic tank and connecting to the deadly pathogen-producing factory. Those costs were estimated to be between $3,000 and $7,000.

They did not include the costs to repay the interest on the $24 million dollars in Bond Indebtedness or specify whether the estimates are monthly or annually. They create the illusion that the total amount of cost to each property owner would cover the total costs of the repayment (with interest) of the SRF Construction Loans with the State Water Board and all of the “on-going operation and maintenance of the system.”

Sentinel note: In 2001, the estimated minimum cost to property owners was around $225. As of July, 2009, the monthly cost to property owners will be a minimum of $425– $475 per month.

In order not to panic voters, the survey stops at a top dollar figure of $139 when combined with the $19 dollars. To soften any financial concerns and deceive the respondent into a false sense of comfort, they begin with a total of the two at only $99.

This creates the illusion that the total cost to residents for safe water, no pollution and a central system that will solve all of the wastewater issues would be inexpensive in comparison to $10,000 per day fines and more expensive means of financing the “mandated” deadly pathogen-producing factory. Of course the highest approval ratings are for the $80 and $90 dollar choices.

It gave the terrorists a sense of what residents were willing to accept.

Question 13 prepares the respondent for a low total “one time” fictional amount of $1700 to decommission their septic tank and hook up to the sewer. This question was designed to test the tolerance for the costs which were estimated to be between $2500 and $6000 dollars in 2001.

The estimated cost in 2008 to decommission the average septic tank and hook up to the deadly pathogen-producing factory was a minimum of $3800 and as much as $7500.  With the current out-of-control government spending, the fall of the dollar and double-digit inflation expected, those costs could easily double.

Question 14 was designed to psychologically soften the financial burden while getting a reaction to the idea of loans. The entire premise was based on deceit.  

“Local banks have already agreed to make low-cost loans available…” (the operative phrase is “low-cost loans”), and using figures of $10 to $35 per month in order, once again, to deceive the respondent into believing that the costs would be affordable.

The terrorists created the illusion that it would be easy and inexpensive for a property owner to acquire the money for decommissioning and hook up. They include phrases to further make it psychologically easy to accept and lessen potential resistance: “Loans can be… added on to existing mortgages … or through a new special loan program.”

A “new special loan program” worked out with Mid-State Bank and headed by a terrorist supporter, the manager, Tom Nieve. It was a sweet set up for the bank and a convenient, easy way to hustle residents into accepting the loan concept. Fortunately, Nieve is no longer associated with the bank and Mid-State is no longer in business.

“By taking these loans, property owners would not have to pay an upfront connection charge…” If there were any concerns by residents to that point, the illusion of not having to “pay an upfront connection charge” was the cherry on top.  

By including that line, many respondents believed that they weren’t paying an “upfront connection charge” when, in fact, the “special loan program” was a loan to … “pay an upfront connection charge.”

After deceiving the respondent into believing the financial flimflam, the terrorists again slipped in the text about the June 2001 vote being in support of the construction of the wastewater treatment system.

Question 15 is a very clever tactic deliberately designed to promote all of the deception used by the terrorists to deceive people into believing the deadly pathogen-producing factory is good for the community and that by building one all of the imaginary problems with Los Osos wastewater and drinking water would be solved. Who would not be for that?

In this question, the terrorists appeared to be asking respondents about their concerns when they were actually continuing to deceive people into believing the deadly pathogen-producing factory would accomplish a number of wonderful benefits.

a) Creates the illusion that there is contamination of the drinking water and that a sewer will “limit further contamination of LO drinking water.” If the water was contaminated, and the sewer was the answer, won’t it END the contamination of that water? Of course a sewer has nothing to do with clean water.

b) Continued to reinforce their lies regarding the false negative continued use of septic tanks. Created the illusion that septic tanks are bad and that a sewer is good.

c) Falsely employs the illusion that we are using up our groundwater and that a sewer will prevent that. In fact, groundwater is primarily dependent on rains and returns from agriculture. A sewer does nothing to save groundwater. In fact, it endangers the safety of groundwater caused by leaks and spills that occur in all central sewer plants.

d) Continues the illusion that the sewer is for all properties in Los Osos and that it is preferable to septic systems. In fact, the planned deadly pathogen-producing factory is deliberately planned for the Prohibition Zone only. The costs to build are to be forced on residents in the PZ, thereby causing the mass social genocide and making it very inexpensive for the rest of Los Osos to be connected in the future.

e) Continued to coerce and intimidate respondents by reinforcing the non-existent RWQCB $10,000 per day “fines.” Continued promoting the illusion that failure to approve the illegal June 2001 Assessment District would result in the sewer not being built, thereby opening the door for the non-existent RWQCB $10,000 per day fines.

f) Continues the demonizing of the Pond System that had been proposed by the LOCSD Directors when they were running for office then allegedly condemned by the RWQCB with the false “mandated” sewer statement.

In fact, the Pond System was a smoke and mirrors ploy from the beginning. Yes, it was less expensive than a central sewer but, like the sewer, it was not needed in Los Osos. It was a tool used by the then-wannabe LOCSD Directors to deceive the community into believing they were working for the community against the evil RWQCB.

a) Played on the family issues of parks and a safe place for children to play, to walk dogs, play ball and the like. There was never a park planned that would include most of the features the terrorists falsely promoted. It was a nice feature to deceive people into accepting the project.

b) The sewer would provide “recycled water for use in irrigation.” All septic systems can provide recycled water for use in irrigation. Another false benefit.

c) A sewer will “maintain local control of the community’s water.” By creating the LOCSD, the community had “local control” of the water resources. The deadly pathogen-producing factory had nothing to do with local control.

d) The importing of “expensive water” was another false image created by the LOCSD. There was never a need to import any water, “expensive” or otherwise. This was one of the lies continually used be the terrorists to deceive residents into believing that it would cost more if deadly pathogen-producing factory were not built.

It created the illusion that Los Osos would be dependent on outside, expensive sources for drinking water if the sewer were not built, thereby not only costing residents more for their water but putting residents at risk of rationing or worse being a constant threat during low rainy seasons as well as automatic increases in the costs for that water.

a) Sea water intrusion was an issue along the bay that would be easily addressed by pumping down the groundwater. The terrorists incorporated sea water intrusion in their lost of tools to instill fear in the community, creating the illusion that all of the water was being contaminated by sea water.

b) Addresses odor, another concern since the proposed project was to be built in the center of town. This question created the illusion that there would be no odors when, in fact, there would be an ongoing issue with odors, depending on conditions inside the plant.

c) This statement makes the respondent believe that a sewer is the answer to saving the Bay and Estuary from any future danger. In fact, the only scientifically verified sources of pollution of the Bay and Estuary by nitrates and bacteria was the Morro Bay sewer plant, the prison, agriculture and old vegetation.

Los Osos had repeatedly been told that their septic tanks were polluting the Bay and Estuary and that a sewer would end that. In fact, septic tanks were not (and are not) polluting the Bay or Estuary. In addition to the contamination sources listed above, a serious danger of pollution to the Bay and Estuary arises would arise when the proposed sewer overflows which would happen regularly as it does with all central systems.

a) The removal of “sludge” has to be outside town unless an area is installed that would purify the sludge then return it as fertilizer to the community. The cost of sludge removal increases significantly as dump sites close down. Currently the closest dump site is in another state. This was another smoke-and-mirrors inclusion designed to calm any possible concerns for sludge contamination.

b) “It offsets costs?” What “offsets costs, approving the illegal Assessment District measure: a sewer, what? Another deception to entice voters into approving the illegal measure.

In fact, the LOCSD never applied for “grants” to “offset costs” of the sewer except for the design plan. A “Yes” vote had no affect on “offsetting costs” to residents.

In fact, grants are no cost to anyone. There are a number of Grant Programs available on both the state and federal levels for every type of wastewater and water conservation issue. The LOCSD terrorists were never interested in grants to “offset costs” because that would not have set well with the RWQCB terrorists.
 
a) This cleverly included statement addressed the RWQCB-imposed prohibition on new construction, a concern for a number of residents who owned multiple properties.

The fact is the Prohibition Zone that stopped all building (unless you were a friend of the LOCSD or the RWQCB) was deliberately created as a tool to open the door for social genocide while leveraging support for a sewer by individual investors who wanted to build out their properties.

The terrorists repeatedly used this tool to deceive and leverage property owners into believing the only way they would ever be allowed to build was to support the deadly pathogen-producing factory. This case, it was used to secure ‘Yes” votes for the illegal June 2001 measure.

a) This last statement sets up a future incorporation of Los Osos. “Local control” was a central issue in the creation of the LOCSD because a majority of the community was fed up with the county negligence and bullying.

This statement created the illusion that a “Yes” vote for the illegal measure would guarantee to save Los Osos from massive development when in fact, it would not.

Los Osos had “local control” when it created the LOCSD. The terrorist plan includes a social genocide and massive build-out of the community.  

Question 16 actually addresses “Assessment” issues. If the Assessment District measure were legal, these issues would have been central.

Question 17 dealt with three important areas of concern and strongly continued the terrorist propaganda that the vote was to approve the sewer, not an illegal assessment. This continued to verify that this survey was intended as a tool for the terrorist propaganda to later use as proof that a majority of the community had approved the sewer.

a) Deliberately crafted to deceive, coerce and intimidate residents into voting “Yes” for the illegal measure. “Unless we pass this measure our drinking water is at risk of biological contamination” was a continuation of the deception that without a sewer, Los Osos would suffer serious water consequences.

It continued to hammer the lie that septic systems were polluting the Bay, Estuary and drinking water.
   
The terrorists end with deceptively-crafted language designed to continue the sense of desperation, deceive respondents into believing the illegal measure as about protecting water and the necessity for a “Yes” vote for the illegal Assessment District vote: ”We need to pass this measure now…” Immediacy.  “…to ensure safe, clean drinking water for the future” The false reward for the “Yes” vote.

The margin between believers and non-believers was only 16%. This told the terrorists they needed to increase their propaganda regarding “safe drinking water” with a sewer and toxic water without one.

a) This opens with a blatant lie crafted to give the illusion that smart people have spent “years” on “careful planning of the ‘measure.’” That the “measure” was based on smart engineering of a sewer.

The “measure” was an illegal deception that gave the terrorists the ability to promote a false community-wide approval of the deadly pathogen-producing factory while opening the door for unlimited assessment of property owners in the Prohibition Zone for the repayment of interest on illegal Obligation Bonds, interest on SRF Loans and the costs to decommission septic systems and forced connections to the sewer.

The balance of “b,” “We will not be able to come up with a wastewater treatment plan that offers a better balance of effectiveness, safety and affordability” reinforced terrorist propaganda about a sewer being the answer, continuing the illusion of hopelessness then capped with two words designed to bring relief: “safety” and “affordability.”

Sentinel note: Of course there is no “safety” in a central sewer. The opposite is true. The ever-increasing numbers of vaccine-resistant deadly pathogens bred in central sewers are ever increasing.

The devastation from spills that are guaranteed to occur on a regular basis distribute those deadly pathogens into the air and water and contribute to the destruction of natural habitat. There is no “affordability” or protection of safe, clean drinking water with a central sewer.

The minimum cost of the deadly pathogen-producing factory planned for Los Osos will cost upwards of one billion dollars. The forced decommission and connection fee to each property owner will be at least $4000 to $8500, and the annual minimum forced costs to each property in the Prohibition Zone will exceed $4800.

The cost to upgrade a safe, efficient septic system is between $1200 and $3000. The cost to replace a defective system with a new, technologically advanced system is between $10,000 and $15,000. All of these costs can be “offset” through state or federal grants. All the LOCSD has to do is apply.

Individuals who have a 501(c) (3) can apply to the State Water Board for a grant up to $5,000,000 for an on-site system. The program is limited so early application is recommended.
 
a) Again, the opening sentence, “This measure is our last chance to approve a wastewater system…,” was deliberately inserted to continue the coercion and intimidation of voters.  It was designed to make voters believe that it was the only and last chance for relief from contaminated water and higher costs.

It created a feeling of desperation and hopelessness while continuing to disguise the illegal June vote as an approval of the sewer.

This is followed by a reinforcement of the empty threat that if the “measure” fails to pass,” the powerful state agency “could” severely punish all those in the PZ with owners with fines of as much as $10,000 per day.”

A continuation of the hammer of non-existent fines from the powerful state agency. What is somewhat clever is the use of the word “could” rather than their usual “would.”

This was in direct contrast to their mailings and public statements in which they repeatedly threatened the community with guaranteed RWQCB $10,000 per day fines for failure to build the deadly pathogen-producing factory.

The survey continued to show areas of concern with an 18% margin between believers and non-believers. That was too close for the terrorists comfort level. They determined that they needed to continue to pound the lies of $10,000 per day fines if the Measure failed to pass and the cost affordability card.

a) This continues to focus on the financial interests and security of those who have parcels on which to build and to continue the illusion that the measure was to approve a sewer. A “Yes” vote will guarantee you can build because Los Osos would have a deadly pathogen-producing factory.

The illegal measure had nothing to do with anything other than an illegal instrument designed to allow the CSD terrorists to steal money through ongoing assessments as needed.

a) In this paragraph the terrorists take advantage of certain recreational needs the community in general would like while further misrepresenting the true purpose of the “measure.”

Again, the “measure” is an illegal assessment. One of the illusions the terrorists created from the beginning to soften the placing of the project in the center of town was a park.

When the terrorists decided to place the deadly pathogen-producing factory in the center of town they knew they had to diffuse resistance so they included a community park that created the illusion of a safe project and pacified a number of voters in the community.

a) This was included to continue the illusion that the ”measure” is fair because it
“… was developed with extensive public input…” The “measure” had nothing to do with any “public input.” The “measure” was an illegal assessment. There was NEVER any “public input” regarding assessments.

Sentinel note: What “public input?” Any “public input” that was not in line with the LOCSD central sewer, such as affordable alternatives that would allow retention of on-site systems and the like, were completely dismissed or ignored.

All public comments regarding alternatives were ignored by the LOCSD and those comments in opposition to the deadly pathogen-producing factory were met with contempt. The LOCSD-created Wastewater Committee was chaired by the Queen of Greed, Pandora Nash-Karner. Her husband, Gary Karner chaired another LOCSD committee.

Question 18 was an abbreviated reminder of the lies and illusions crafted in the previous question. It was designed to let the terrorists know where their campaign of fear and deceit in Question 17a had been most effective.

Beginning with “… of the statements I just read which stands out as the best reason why someone should vote FOR this measure?” This question implied that all were good reasons to approve the illegal measure while continuing to falsely create the illusion that the vote was to address the terrorist-created issues

There were no surprises that people cared first about clean, safe water as that is the core necessity of life, followed by fines that address financial concerns. “Last chance” was deliberately included by the terrorists to increase the fear level and an imaginary sense of urgency.  
 
The attention of the respondent was focused on revealing what lies and threats had the most influence by stating their greatest concerns. This told the terrorists the areas of propaganda concentration that had the greater effect and whether or not other areas required increased promotion.

Question 19 was specifically designed to determine if the deception of the previous 18 questions had achieved their desired effect by changing minds.

(Question 20 not available).

Question 21 was included for the same reason as 19, just worded differently. They both sought to see if they had succeeded in increased support for the illegal measure.
 
Questions 19 and 21 resulted in a 71% favorable outcome for the terrorists.

Question 22 was deliberately designed to determine the community opinion of the terrorists and their allies in and out of government. There was no other purpose for the question as it had no bearing on the illegal June vote, the sewer or anything connected with the project. It did have to do with image.

It told the terrorists who would be more believable when it came to public statements, who to use or cite when making statements designed to continue to coerce and intimidate the community and who had the least recognition and public influence.

Question 23 continues the confidence probe. In this question the terrorists are seeking to know which propaganda outlets and means of literature distribution are most effective.

Question 24 focuses on the affects of specific television news programs.

Question 25 focuses on the affects of specific radio stations.

Question 26 targets cable TV subscribers.

Question 27 turns the respondent 180% and deliberately refocuses their attention on water, specifically “tap water.” It is a simple question, “Do you drink the tap water at your property in LO?”

Since the issue of clean, safe water was the primary concern of the majority of residents, by asking this question they continue to infer that tap water is unsafe because of septic systems and continued to reinforce the lie that a sewer will guarantee safe water.

Questions 28 through 33 focused on demographics. The questions had nothing to do with the illegal June 2001 Assessment District vote, everything to do with the effectiveness of the terrorist propaganda, strategy and future areas of concentration.

FOLLOW-UP   


On September 09, 2003, Budd Sanford sent a Public Records Request (PRR) to the LOCSD and asked 1) who constructed the questions in the survey?, 2) did any employee or elected official of the LOCSD contribute to the questions?, and 3) the name or names of those who contributed to, or submitted any and all of the questions to the survey.

The PRR also asked how much was paid to Fairbank, Maslin & Associates to conduct the survey and the “purpose” of the survey, specifically, why did the LOCSD conduct the survey?”

The LOCSD response was to refuse to respond to any request dealing with who constructed the questions, if any employee or elected official of the LOCSD were involved, the names (if any) of those LOCSD employees and/or officials involved and the purpose of the survey.

The LOCSD response was (as was usual), “… these do not constitute public records requests. Please specify the document or documents that you are requesting.”

The LOCSD terrorists did offer to provide documents showing the cost of the survey and the correct contact information for the firm. They added they would also make available a copy of the survey (not requested).

CONCLUSION


There were two primary purposes for this illegal survey. One was to determine a precise measurement of the effectiveness of two years of threats, coercion and propaganda, the other to deceive, intimidate and coerce voters into believing the illegal June 2001 Assessment District vote was a vote to protect water, build a park, approve a sewer, approve an SRF Construction Loan, approve the issuance of Obligation Bonds and approve open assessments by the LOCSD related to the costs of the project.

The Campaign of Terror waged by the the RWQCB, the County, the Queen of Greed and her Hug-a-Turd gang of terrorist supporters and enablers against the community had specifically intended to coerce, intimidate and frighten residents with the single intent to force the most expensive (per capita) deadly pathogen producing factory (sewer) on the backs of selected residents for the purpose of social genocide and a massive build-out of the community for political and economic power.

The terrorists have deliberately ignored the laws as long as it suited their purpose. They have used tactics of coercion and intimidation through threats and lies and have been aided by allies both in and out of city, county and state government as well as the local media primarily the Telegram-Tribune.

The terrorists needed the results of this illegal survey before the June 2001 Assessment District vote to determine the probable success or failure and to guide them in their use of specific propaganda.

This was an illegal survey. It was conducted with the intent to influence an illegal measure that was created to avoid specific legal requirements of community permission.  Under the law, no District can even begin any activity on a sewer project unless and until it has presented its case to the community and placed a request for permission to proceed in the hands of the voters.

When presenting a case, the District must present all of the facts (truth). The law mandates that voters must have all of the truthful, relevant information regarding an issue in order to “… make an informed, intelligent decision.” To do otherwise constitutes election fraud.

Permission to proceed on a sewer requires a 51% majority approval vote. Once approval has been legally obtained, a District can then proceed with cost estimates. Once estimates have been acquired, a District must then go before the voters again and present a full disclosure of all estimated costs.

At this time, the District can ask the voter to approve an Assessment District for the purpose of assessing property owners for their fair share of the debt obligation. Debt obligation would include any SRF Construction Loan repayment and interest on Obligation Bonds.

The District must inform voters of their financial obligations for which they would be assessed including accurate dollar amounts of those obligations. They must receive a 51% voter approval to assess before they can proceed. If they fail to get a 51% (or greater) approval to assess, they are unable to apply for an SRF Construction Loan.

If they have community approval to assess they must present their request, including dollar amount, for an SRF Loan and ask permission from voters to apply for that Loan.  Again, they must secure a 51% (or greater) voter approval before proceeding with the request.

If the District wants to issue Obligation Bonds to fund part of the project it must once again go before the community and present all of the facts as to why, what for, how much and the cost to each property owner. The law requires a 75% (or greater) voter approval before Obligation Bonds can be issued.

The County and later the LOCSD deliberately deprived voters of their legal rights.

In 1999, when the LOCSD officially opened its doors, a conspiracy involving the RWQCB, the County and LOCSD to launch a Campaign of Terror designed to coerce and intimidate residents of Los Osos with the sole intent to force the deadly pathogen-producing factory on Los Osos began in earnest.

This illegal, slanted survey commissioned by the LOCSD terrorists prior to the illegal June 2001 Assessment District vote is another example of their misuse of tax dollars to further their terrorist activities and achieve their goal.

The deliberate wording of the questions in this survey clearly reveal the terrorists’ true intent to continue to deceive, coerce and intimidate residents and in this case, to influence an illegal vote.

Along with the LOCSD “Messages” sent to voters prior to the illegal June 2001 vote, and the mailers sent by the Pandora Nash-Karner group, “Vote Yes For The Sewer Committee,” the continual RWQCB reinforcement of the “mandated” sewer and other deliberate misrepresentations, this survey was another illegal tool in the terrorist arsenal designed to deceive, intimidate and coerce and paid for by you and me.
