Terrorist Cell and
Terrorist Recruiter in Orange County
Michael Webster: Investigative Reporter
wibcom@aol.com
John
Loftus said on the live national radio talk show coast to coast with host George
Noory, he stated, " I know for sure that a Terrorist cell is operating
in Orange County Mosques and is recruiting young Moslems." Its also
believed both American born
and non- American born youth are receiving terrorist training.
 Mr. Loftus
claims that the cell is operating openly and freely with no apparent
investigation by law enforcement. This is potentially a very dangerous
situation that needs attention by Federal, State and Local law enforcement.
Its believed to be a large cell operating with a number of locally recruited
and trained terrorist who could strike anywhere at anytime if unabated.
John Loftus has more inside information on the terrorists abroad and at home,
and asks, "When are we going to wake up?"
In
June, he warned of the London bombings, and now has more on what we can expect
in our country and right here in Orange County
John Loftus is President of the IntelligenceSummit.org,
and can be heard weeknights on ABC's John Batchelor program. John said, I hate
to say this, but I think the FBI has been asleep at the switch. A lot of
people, including my private investigator Bill Warner, who I think is the best
PI in America, have said there's been a real problem with the FBI leadership
in Washington. People can't get search warrants in time. If it happens outside
the FBI, it doesn't get pursued. If it's not invented here, it's not touched,
it's put on the back burner. Unfortunately, we're in a position where we can't
allow that kind of luxury any more. Because the same organizations in the
United States are directly linked to the ones in London that just pulled off
the subway bombings.
Al-Muhajiroun
According
to John Al-Muhajiroun are here
in America, and the successor organizations. These groups have been
desecrating the American flag, and have demanded an Islamic nation in the
United States.
Hizb
al-Tahrir And al-Tahrir
Al-Muhajiroun has offices in both New York and London. They were the parent
organization, the Finsbury Mosque, of the subway bombings. Their leadership in
New York was responsible for planning the subway bombings. What we're finding
out is that they have a sister organization called Hizb al-Tahrir. And al-Tahrir
is, if you will, the operational or training arm, Muhajiroun is the recruiting
arm. Now the Russian Secret Service says that Hizb al-Tahrir is the secret
radical arm of the Muslim brotherhood. This is the granddaddy of all the
terrorist organizations. It goes back to the old Arab Nazi movement of the
1940s. And they worked for the British Secret Service. Then our CIA dumped
them in Saudi Arabia, where they were running schools for young kids like
Usama Bin Laden. But these folks have come home to roost. We have found out
definitely, Bill Warner has found, that the new elected leader of the
terrorist group Hizb al-Tahrir lives in Orange County, California. And that he
has direct ties with the same groups in London. In fact, the group, the
Islamic Thinkers Society in New York--that used to be the address, the post
office box, of Iyad Kilal, also called Abu Tarik. And he lives at 500 Gerry
Street, in La Habra, Orange County California--
Jihad
Mr. LOFTUS said we've found out that this same guy, Iyad Hilal, has been
the author of a book on self-study on how to become an Islamic extremist, if
you will. And that one of his early neighbors at a previous address was a
young kid named Adam Pearlman, who's now known as Azzam the American, who
became an Al-Qaeda member and promised that America will see a new wave of
terror, and that the streets will run with blood. Now he was recruited into
Muslim society at the mosques where this same guy, Iyad Hilal, was one of the
instructors. So the leader of the most radical terrorist arm of the same
groups that did the London subway bombing, has a whole cell going in Orange
County, California, and has recruited terrorists there. When are we going to
wake up?
Connecting
The Dots
So
it can now be presumed that Al-Muhajiroun and Hizb al-Tahrir.has cells in at
least New York, England, Germany and Orange County California. Al-Muhajiroun
and Hizb al-Tahrir
were the parent organization, of the Finsbury Mosque, they were the London subway
bombers.
Their leadership in New York was responsible for planning the subway
bombings. And that there sister organizations are Hizb al-Tahrir and
al-Tahrir if you will, is the operational or training arm, and Al-Muhajiroun is
the recruiting arm. Add that the Russian Secret Service says that Hizb
al-Tahrir is the secret radical arm of the Muslim brotherhood... and the new
elected leader of the terrorist group Hizb al-Tahrir in America is allegedly Iyad Kilal,
and that he lives in La Habra
in Orange
County, California. And that he has direct ties with the same groups
in London and the Islamic Thinkers Society in New York. Iyad
Kilal, is also
called Abu Tarik.
MOSQUES
Orange
County's Mosques that Iyad Kilal, also
called Abu Tarik may have instructed or attended are: Islamic Educational
Center of Orange County Costa Mesa
,
Darul-Uloom, Santa Ana
,
and OCI Foundation, Mission Viejo.
Attempted
contact of the above Orange County Mosques by phone was made by the Journal
and were answered by machines. By publishing time no return calls had been
received by the Journal.
LEADERS
CHARGED WITH PROTECTING US AGAINST TERRORIST ATTACKS
FBI
Director Mueller
 An
attempt was made to contact the Local FBI by phone at their offices in Santa
Ana California. The Journal was directed by a answering machine to call the
L.A. FBI office. Which we did. A male voice answered. The Journal
reporter Identified himself
and asked to talk with an FBI agent. The reporter had to ask several times if
he was speaking to an FBI agent. After several minutes he was finally transferred
to who claimed to be the FBI Duty Agent.
The FBI Duty Agent said, he did not know
of this terrorist cell nor had he heard of Iyad Kilal,
also called Abu Tarik. The Journal then offered the information and content of this story.
The Duty agent took the information reluctantly and without further inquiry.
Willie
Hulon,
Assistant
Director,
Counterterrorism Division
According
to Willie Hulon, Assistant Director of Counterterrorism Division's web page
stated
"the
FBI is part of a vast national and international campaign dedicated to
defeating terrorism. Working hand-in-hand with partners in law enforcement,
intelligence, the military, and diplomatic circles, our job is to neutralize
terrorist cells and operatives here in the U.S. and to help dismantle
terrorist networks worldwide.
" However if the press or the public can't reach them to report
terror, and if they show little or no interest. How will they be able to
accomplish their mission and protect American citizens. I can't help but
wonder had this been an terrorist related life threatening emergency how
could it had worked any better?

Terrorism Commentary
Orange County Sheriff Michael S. Carona
The La Habra Police Chief Dennis Kis
said, his dept through one of his watch commanders received a tip in the
form of a phone call from a resident of Marina del Rey about a week ago. The
Gerry street address was then checked out by his officers and the subject in
question was not living there. And the chief was not sure if the subject had
lived there at any time in the past. "there is a couple living there now
and they checked out OK. However we did turn the matter over to the joint FBI
task force on terrorism." He also said, he believed the couple was
recently on the popular John and Ken radio talk show on a LA radio station
KFI. He believes the task
force will keep him informed or if they need his help they will contact his
dept.

The FBI is offering rewards
for information leading to the apprehension of Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.
Check each fugitive page for the specific amount. Details
Fund raisers notwithstanding, plans to raise taxes and parking meter increases
aside, the definitive answer to what could/should alleviate the losses of
Bluebird Canyon landslide disaster victims has just surfaced. In a simple
statement issued this week. Independent real estate executive, Michael
Vorobiev, has pledged to donate 50% of all his listing sales commissions
henceforth to assist home owners in recovering from this year's June 1st
tragedy.
Vorobiev, a Laguna Beach resident and President/CEO of Sagamore Hill Realty,
envisions the enormity of what might prevail if even a few brokerage firms
will similarly contribute to this worthy cause. Noting that the basic
clearance of the demolition alone will exceed $10 million, Vorobiev is avid in
stressing that "the real Estate industry which has financially benefited
the most in our city, should certainly re-invest in the rebuilding of the very
product that has enabled them to work & live here in this beautiful beach
community"
Considering the fact that there are in excess of 90 real estate firms in our
town, we came up with some overwhelming ball park figures. To whit, with
Laguna Beach home prices averaging an astounding $2 million, give or take a
few thousand, the average commission to a listing broker is 2 1/2 %.or
approximately $50,000. If only one sale from each of the 90 local firms
contributed one half, or $25,000, we would have an immediate $2,500,000.
Double that amount for two sales from each of the 90 venues and we have
$4,500,000. And that is if each broker contributed one half of only one sale.
Take it from there and note the resulting figures are phenomenal, enabling us
to reach our ultimate goal much more quickly than heretofore imaginable. Over
and above this, think how much the city will save in converting parking meters
to increase revenue which, in turn, will diminish potential income from
adamant tourists as happened a few years back. Raising taxes, similarly, would
be unfair to those of us who already pay dearly, yearly. Local fund raisers,
however, will hopefully continue to further the cause and all personal
contributions will continue to be gratefully welcomed.
All monies will go directly to Laguna Beach Relief Center Charitable Assistant
Fund (phone 497-7121) and are totally tax deductible. Further information:

THE
LAW IS THE LAW
BY Michael Webster
So
if the
US
government determines that it is against the law for the words
"under
God"
to be on our money,
then,
so be it.
And
if that same government decides that the
"Ten
Commandments"
are not to be used in or
on
a government installation,
then,
so be it.
And
since they already have prohibited any prayer in the schools,
on
which they deem their authority,
then
so be it.
I
say,
"so
be it,"
because I would like to be a law abiding
US
citizen.
I
say,
"so
be it,"
because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to
make good decisions.
I
would like to think that those people have the American Publics' best
interests at heart.
BUT,
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?
Since
we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot Post His Commandments in
Government buildings,
I
don't believe the Government and it's employees should participate in the
Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government is
eliminating from many facets of American life.
I'd
like my
mail
delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter.
After
all, it's just another day.
I'd
like the
US
Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving &
Easter as well as Sundays.
After all, it's just another day.
I'd
like the
Senate
and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for
the "Christmas Break."
After all it's just another day.
I'm
thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be
saved, if all government
offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter.
It
shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of
the week to a government that is trying to be
"politically
correct."
In
fact....
I
think that
our
government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God...)
because,
after all, our government says that it should be just another day....
What
do you all think????
If
this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving
in to the minority opinions and begin, once again, to represent the 'majority'
of ALL of
the American people.
SO
BE IT...........
Please
Dear Lord,
Give
us the help needed to keep you in our country!
'Amen'
and 'Amen'
These
are definitely things I never thought about but from now on, I will be sure to
question those, in government, who support these changes.
At
the top, it says
"I
hope this makes its way around the
USA
several times over!!!!!"
Let's
see that it does.
SO
BE IT!!!
Why is This Young Girl DEAD ???
Andrea Jennifer Nelson
January 2003 a known drug dealer, Homayon Bakhtar, drove her
cold dead body into the ER of Hoag hospital saying she passed out at a party.
Was it because Andrea had worked as an informant, for the
Irvine police department, working with officer Mike Hallahan, to try and
arrest her former boyfriend Sammy Johar ?
Was it because Andrea went with Tustin Police officer Joe
Stickels, to I.D. " dirty cops" and
locations of GHB and drug labs in Huntington Beach.
Was it because of what Andrea told her Mother Linda, after a
visit to Buena Park Police,
" She told me the police officer in Buena Park was yelling
at her, calling her a liar and scared her to death."
Officer Stickles informed her Mother " that the reason the
Buena Park officer treated Andrea that way was because he was up for a
promotion and identifying corruption in his department would hinder his
chances."
Officer Stickles said, "Andrea identified 9 of the 10
officers reporting directly to him."
Was it because detectives Yourex and Lewis of New Port told
Andrea's boyfriend, that "Homayan Bakhtar, and Sammy Johar, both Syrian,
were "connected", and that the FBI had been watching Bakhtar,
because he was an International Drug Dealer. When Bakhtar brought the body of
Andrea to the ER she was cold to the touch, according to the attendent who
placed her in the ER and a lawyer was already there with Bakhtar.
has agreed to serve as Spiritual counselor, and pastor to
the family.
Senior Special Agent in Charge (Ret.) of the Los
Angeles FBI, Ted Gunderson, has also asked "The Wiley Drake
Show" to serve in public relations, and to keep the public updated
on his investigation into this case.
( Anyone who has information is encouraged to contact Agent
Gunderson through pastor Drake, 1-714-865-8132)
We need to find out why this 19 year old young lady
died........ and God as our witness, we will.
Please pray for us.
Join us in prayer for this family daily 5-7 a.m...Call

Lord as we seek the TRUTH.
Support Our Fire Fighters
Join the Red Flag Patrol
Additional volunteers are
needed
Wet
Winter + Dry Summer = Dangerous Fire
Season
The Laguna Coast Fire Safe Council established and
coordinates a
Red Flag Patrol program to enhance the early warning
capabilities of our local Fire Departments.
The program augments the official steps taken by
professional fire fighters and has proven to be a useful tool for the Laguna
Beach Fire Department and the Orange Co. Fire Authority.
Volunteers are called into action when a Red Flag Alert
has been issued indicating that fire danger is extremely high.
A condition usually brought about by Santa Ana winds during the fall and
early winter.
Frequency of patrols are determined by the whims of Mother
Nature, last fire season no patrols were needed, the previous season patrols
were activated 6 times between October and January.
These patrols not only assist with early detection and
prevention, they also help to make the community aware of the danger and
encourage extra valiance.
As a volunteer, when available, you and a partner will be
ask to drive a 2 hour patrol to watch for smoke, suspicious behavior or activity
that might cause a fire.
The patrol route takes you to the best vantage points
along the wildland interface and out the Laguna Canyon Road.
We welcome non-drivers, as only one partner needs to be a
licensed driver. There are several
parent/child teams participating in the program. You may train with a designated partner or be assigned a
partner at the time a patrol is needed.
All volunteers are required to attend a two-hour training
session conducted by Battalion Chiefs of the Laguna Beach Fire Dept. and the
Orange County Fire Authority.
After attending the training, volunteers are issued a
ready bag that contains items needed for the patrol including identification and
maps, plus red flags and magnetic signs for your car.

Laguna Beach Landslide: Cont'
Some evacuated residents are being
allowed to go back home following landslide that destroyed 17
expensive houses and damaged nearly 11 others.
About 1,000 people were evacuated from 350 other houses as a
precaution. Many of them are now returning home and others
may be allowed back under supervision to retrieve personal belongings, Orange
County (search)
officials said.
The cause of the disaster was under investigation. But Ed Harp of the U.S.
Geological Survey (search)
said it was almost certainly related to the winter storms that drenched
Southern California. A geologist contracted by the city agreed the cause
was most likely rainfall, but said more tests were needed.
People scrambled for their lives early Wednesday, awakened by the
sounds of cracking walls and exploding pipes. Five people suffered minor
injuries, officials said, and miraculously, no one was killed.
Haley Stevens was getting ready for school when the 14-year-old's
morning routine was shattered by the sounds of trees and wood-frame houses
being torn from their foundation.
The next thing she knew, her family was rushing out the door as a
massive landslide bore down on the neighborhood of hillside homes perched
along one of the most picturesque sections of Southern California's
coastline.
When they made it outside their Bluebird Canyon (search)
home, the ground was collapsing beneath them: "We started to feel the
street move and we just started sprinting," she said.
Wednesday's landslide destroyed 17 multimillion-dollar homes as it sent
structures crashing down a hill. Residents alarmed by the sound of walls
and pipes coming apart ran for their lives — many still in their
pajamas.
"We were very scared, my brother and I. We were freaking
out," said Stevens, who suffered a minor injury from stepping on a
cactus in her bare feet.
Karen Harvey, senior dispatcher with the Laguna Beach Police
Department, said early Thursday that there were no new landslides reported
overnight.
Throughout the day, Laguna Hills High School (search)
doubled as a Red Cross evacuation center where residents filtered in and
out of the school gym, hoping to learn when they might be allowed back
into their homes to retrieve belongings and pets.
"It's just been overwhelming," said Vera Martinez, a
65-year-old retiree.
Earlier this year, scientists warned that destructive landslides would
be possible and they point to Laguna Beach as a wake-up call for other
coastal communities to be on the lookout for any slight earth movement.
"We're not out of the woods yet," geologist Randall Jibson
said.
Laguna Beach has been dry since a trace of rainfall nearly a month ago,
but before that, Southern California had its second-rainiest season on
record. The region has gotten nearly 28 inches of rain since last July,
more than double the annual average.
The daybreak landslide caught dozens of residents by surprise Wednesday
in this Orange County community about 50 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
"You could hear the homes breaking. You could hear the cracking
wood," said Jill Lockhart, who awakened to the noise of shattering
glass and walls.
"It was like a nightmare," said Lockhart, 35. "We had to
run for our lives."
She fled with her son 2-year-old son, Tyson, over her shoulder and his
4-year-old brother, Trey, stumbling along in his pajamas.
The family climbed into a neighbor's SUV, but their path was blocked by
a utility pole, forcing them to flee on foot. They had to abandon the road
when it began to collapse, finally scrambling down a hillside to safety.
Lockhart's two-story home was destroyed.
At the top of the hill, the foundations of several homes were left
exposed, their corners jutting out with nothing underneath to support
them. One road ended abruptly, with the edge of the pavement hanging over
a tangle of debris scattered downhill.
City manager Ken Frank expected about a third of the evacuees — those
farthest from the slide — to be back in their homes in the next day or
two. Others will be allowed to retrieve belongings under supervision
Thursday.
Last January, a landslide crashed down into the coastal community of La
Conchita (search),
in Ventura County northwest of Los Angeles, killing 10 people.
Laguna Beach, offering vistas of the Pacific from coastal bluffs, has
been hit before by flooding, mudslides and wildfire. In 1998, a rainstorm
triggered slides that damaged 300 homes, 18 of them severely, and killed
two people. A fire in 1993 swept down into the city and destroyed some 400
homes. Most were rebuilt within a half-dozen years. And in October 1978, a
slide in the same canyon destroyed 14 homes.
The area has some of Southern California's most desirable real estate.
The damaged homes generally sell for $2 million or more, residents said.
Recently, the community was prominently featured on the MTV show
"Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" that debuted in
September.
State Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi said most residents who
lost their homes probably did not have insurance coverage for landslides
— something that insurers began eliminating more than a decade ago.
Still, many residents said they hope to eventually return to the area.

LETTERS
AND E-MAILS TO THE EDITOR:
To the editor,
What can one person do?
Most people I've spoken with in recent years feel they have no power, no
ability to affect the dreadful course of events unfolding around them,
especially world or national events. Cindy Sheehan shows what one person
can
do.
Whether you agree with her position on Bush and Iraq or not, there can
be no
doubting the magnitude of the effect that has followed her actions. By
standing along a dusty road in Texas with a sign she has done more to
successfully challenge the neo-con New World Order than the entire
worldwide
anti-war movement and the entire Democratic Party combined. If more
people
dared to individually stand up for what they believe in this way the
police
state would wither on the vine.
During a war normal life is suspended. We are in a war, but it's not the
fake war on terror we see on Fox and CNN.
The real war is being made all over the Earth against average everyday
people like Cindy Sheehan. Right now most of the casualties are overseas
but
the real focus is still right here in the US. Unless the American people
can
be subjugated, intimidated, disinformed and made willing to give up
their
rights those making this war will ultimately lose it.
The real war is a war against free speech, against the bill of rights,
against freedom, against conscience and against human decency. It's a
war
against life, against nature and against the Earth itself. As Americans
we
are uniquely both the perpetrators and the victims of this war -
perpetrators because this is all being done in our names and victims
because
it is our freedom that is the ultimate target.
Deny the corporate police state what it wants and you will deny it
power. To
defeat such an enemy, we must use the weapons that are most effective,
the
weapons they most fear.
What are these weapons? Certainly not bombs or bullets or suicide
attacks.
They are the manufacturers, distributors and perpetrators of most of the
violence we see in the world today. Using the techniques of advertising,
propaganda and human psychology, they manipulate young Americans to go
to
war as readily as they brainwash young Muslims to become suicide
bombers.
What they fear most are not weapons of mass destruction but sincere
words.
Cardboard signs. Acts of conscience. A refusal to go along with the
propaganda of fear. A determination to not let them get away with it.
It all comes down to one person at a time non-violently standing up for
what
they believe in. Anyone can refuse to be intimidated into silence or
passive
acceptance. Sometimes, defending your country means fighting against it.
Like the power within a single atom, we all have this power right now

Dear Editor:
My Wife and
I and Millions of other Americans are wondering why people would
build homes, Multi Million dollar homes on the sides of hills
with the knowledge that at some point in time they would end up at
the bottom of the canyon. It's said on the news that there is no
insurance for these pitifully stupid people but they insist on
building there. Myself as a tax payer don't want a dollar of my
money going toward the restoration of these homes. If these folks
have millions to build these home they should have enough to
rebuild without a government handout. After all most people in the
nation have better sense than to build on dirt hills. But then I
keep forgetting, we are talking about California and the people of
California, the land of Fruits and Nuts.
Our Harmonic Concordance Experience
Our local "Harmonic Concordance" ceremonial experience
turned out awesome. We
had planned a small celebration at a local home wth a nice natural
back yard
setting of maybe a dozen or so guests. Then at the last minute we
listed our
celebration of hosting offer with the Harmonic Concordance web
site. The
response was overwhelming. We had 103 requests for information and
47 showed. We
could jam in and accommodate 40 in the canyon home and back yard
so we met the
others at Aliso beach in South Laguna. We had a moving time,
starting with a
spectacular sunset (green flash did not show), followed by the
Lunar Eclipse
(which we could not see do to cloud cover). Though payer,
meditation, drumming,
rattles, flute sounds and camp fire, the evening was filled with
unity joy,
peace and reconciliation.
The concordance harmonic agreement tones formed the basis for the
extraordinary sky that followed the eclipse. The cloud formations
took the shape of a
huge Feather Fan others saw in it step rows of the Anasazi farming
fields of the
American Southwest. Shortly thereafter the unobstructed view of
the full moon
appeared a circle or halo, which we have all seen before. But then
never
before seen, by all there. A spectacular 2nd circle formed which
had all the colors
of the rainbow. We named it "The Harmonic Agreement
Tones". It was one of
those times when humanity was achieving significant progress in
the raising of
consciousness and spiritual growth. From my viewpoint, I've
experienced quite a
number of highly touted moments of great enlightenment. This to me
was a
massive paradigm shift into a new enlightenment of Harmonic
Concordance.
The energy that flowed forth was the light from which all
knowledge and God
given talent comes from. Where dreams are visions while we sleep
and visions
are dreams while wake, but they are always coming and Nov 8, 2003
they were
super charged.
Through this ceremonial experience we reached for the highest
expression
possible for the development of human beings. And for what this
can mean for the
world and peace. As this experience raised our
consciousness, we grow in
spiritual understanding and in our ability to express our world
and the marching on
of mankind.

& LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
Everyone always refers to the Constitution of
the United States as though they know it by heart. We have all
heard the phrase "you are violating my constitutional
rights". However, how many of us have actually read the
document it in its entirety? Most likely, a very small
percentage of us could be included in that group. It would be
wonderful if it was required reading for every citizen of this
great nation of ours. Maybe, then we would understand that the
founding framers gave us a blueprint by which we could be a
government that was by the people and for the people.
This document provides for us a model by which, we are to live
as a free people. It is a constitution meant for all
Americans, for all times. The Constitution instructs us to
elect the President, every four years, elect the Congress and
a Senate and to install a multi- tiered Judiciary system, The
checks and balances instituted in this document was to
perpetuate a democratic nation. Party politics came about to
make for an adversarial climate. For the truth to come forth
there must be a thesis, an antithesis and a synthesis of
opposing ideals. It makes for good competition; after all,
competition in the public sector as well as the private sector
makes for a healthy America.
Now let us focus on the local governments and examine the
obvious lack of competition that exists here in our California
cities. The system called general law government has over 300
cities in the state operating under the format of
council/manager administration. This system prides itself on
being devoid of bipartisan politics and runs counter
productive to the governments that exists at the National as
well as State levels. Why is this the case? The answer can be
found in Richard Stillman's book entitled the "The Rise
of The City Manager". He argues that a city should
operate as a corporation and who best to run the city than the
City Manager. He is the technician, the CEO, the Council is
the Board of Directors and we the people, are the
shareholders. In a perfect world, this system could work for
the benefit of all. However, this is not a perfect world and
we the shareholders are getting a raw deal. A poll could
easily verify voter dissatisfaction here in Laguna Beach. What
we are forced to endure is a faēade of a democratic system,
which in reality is a government controlled by the City
Manager, who is appointed and not elected. There in lies the
unaccountability. Sources tell me that the average salary for
a City Manager in the state of California is $204,000 per
year. Just use common sense, City Councils are not in control
of local governments. How could they be, when they are paid a
mere pittance compared to the City Managers. They are merely
puppets for City Managers. Is that why the City Managers are
the third most powerful lobbying group in the state of
California? They perpetuate their existence and in fact, no
city incorporated in the state of California since 1970, has
been anything but City Manager controlled. We do not have
democracy at the local level, but instead a technocratic
bureaucracy.
In Laguna Beach the City Manager, Ken Frank has been in power
for over 25 years and there are sentiments amongst many of the
citizens that the situation is out of voters' control. It does
not matter who is elected to the City Council, no one will
dare contest Frank. The council is in fear of the man. Why is
this so? They are afraid of his power and the monopoly he
enjoys. However, there are some citizens in Laguna Beach that
have the courage to stand up and expose the emperor for what
he is, a dictatorial leader. Just take an anonymous survey of
what city employees feel and the truth would hurt. As a person
who has lived here over 15 years I talked to many about their
opinions. Is that why the Fire Fighters had to go forth with
their initiative? Would a democratic system purposely endanger
the lives of its citizens? Would a caring government sell its
artistic soul to the highest bidder? Would it have little
regard for the needs of its senior citizens? The answer is no
to all of these questions. The spirit of freedom is in
the air, here in Laguna Beach. When the people are educated
about the Constitution and what it stands for, the closer we
will get to having the representation of a government in
Laguna Beach, that is for the people and by the people.
