An Idyllic Enclave in California, and a Mysterious Cancer Problem

LADERA RANCH, Calif.—In 2019, Kara Bell began firing off a series of emails to her homeowners association, hoping to find out what kind of herbicides gardeners were using on the many sports fields, pocket parks, and schools that pepper the hillside community of Ladera Ranch, a private enclave in the southeastern corner of unincorporated Orange County.

Hard to imagine being lulled to “sleep” only to be “awakened” by being in a “cancer cluster”.  Can’t imaging the reaction of husbands, fathers, mothers, parents, and just plain old ordinary folks.  Time to get out the pitchforks and torches.  In this case, there is a litany of “bad guys” —  the landscaping company, the HOA, the Gooferment’s Gooferment Skrules (i.e., they should be very very interested in ANY chemical used around on their grounds and especially sports fields), and let’s not forget the “Skrule Board” of highly paid politicians and bureaucrats, the many City, County, State, and Federal “regulators”.  Argh!   I suggest that all “Skrule Board” meeting be held in and on the freshly spray “sports” fields; wonder if the politicians and bureaucrats would be then very interested in what they were sitting on —  other than their own arses!

Argh!

California US attorney says multiple election fraud investigations underway
By Sharyl Attkisson | June 6, 2026

Essayli pointed to the case of Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, who pleaded guilty to a felony count of paying another person to register to vote in a federal election.

According to prosecutors, Armstrong paid homeless individuals on Los Angeles’ Skid Row to register to vote and, in some cases, used her address so mail-in ballots would be sent to her home. Authorities say the scheme operated for roughly 20 years.

Sure, Stalin was wrong.

“It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.” — attributed to Joseph Stalin

“As long as I count the Votes, what are you going to do about it. say?” — attributed to William M. “Boss” Tweed in Thomas Nast cartoon, 7 October 1871).

“As long as I count the Votes, what are you going to do about it. say?” — attributed to William M. “Boss” Tweed in Thomas Nast cartoon, 7 October 1871). — Not Stalin 

Maybe not?

These fraudsters eliminate the need to “stuff the ballot box” or “rig the count”.  They just “invent voters”. Are there more votes than register voters?   All the mainstream media “swears” election are totally fair and honest.

So why don’t I believe them?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Will CA fire-ravaged Palisades land become taxpayer-funded low-income housing?

Conspiracy Theory Comes True After California Wildfires | Daily Pulse
The news you weren’t supposed to see.

Jul 16, 2025

*** begin quote ***

STORY #2 – California just proved the “conspiracy theorists” right. Lawmakers passed a bill to cease fire-ravaged Palisades land and turn it into taxpayer-funded low-income housing.

This isn’t theory anymore—it’s reality, and it follows a disturbing national trend. For years, people claimed that disasters like the Maui fires were being used to clear land for Smart Cities. Now it’s happening in plain sight.

Across America, neighborhoods destroyed by fires and floods are being “reimagined” as dense, government-controlled housing zones. California’s SB 549 lets cities buy burned lots for mere pennies, rebuild using your tax dollars, and cram in numerous low-income units. Officials call it “resilient,” but it’s really about controlling where and how you live.

And it’s not just Democrats. The Global Covenant of Mayors unites cities from both parties under a Smart City agenda built on surveillance, permanent renting, and the end of single-family homes.

Is this really about safety and sustainability—or is it about control? Watch Maria Zeee’s shocking report to see just how deep this agenda goes.

Probably AI written.  Note the use of “cease” in place of “seize”.

If true, it’s despicable.

HEALTH: What happened to the Presidential Fitness Challenge?

World’s largest game of red light, green light played in California
By Ben Hooper

*** begin quote ***

June 13 (UPI) — A fitness education group in California broke a Guinness World Record by gathering 1,423 people to play the playground game red light, green light.

CF Fitness Inc., an education-oriented group aimed at promoting physical fitness at schools, gathered students from the Anaheim Elementary School District and their families to play the record-breaking game at Yorbe Park in Anaheim. 

*** end quote ***

As you know as a little L libertarian, I really don’t like Gooferment involvement in anything.

BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), here’s a cheap and easy way to get children, and maybe some adults, moving.

I remember the Presidential Fitness Challenge; do you?

Every Gooferment politician, from mayor to governor, can spark up their own “challenge”.  Make it fun and somewhat competitive.  Get some ribbons and medal to give out at the end of school year.  

Like being an Eagle Scout, that I am not one or had the opportunity to be one, I believe that children can be encouraged to accomplish great things.

Instead of a nation of “thumbs” ((i.e., video game addicts mindlessly spending hours in front of a screen), we could create physical and mental challenges that would prepare then for a healthy and happy life.

SURVIVAL: But we’re not a “serious species”

‘Sleeping giant’ off coast of California is due to wake any moment and could sink parts of US in just MINUTES | Daily Mail Online

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14656853/Cascadia-Subduction-Zone-earthquake-california-sink.html

While “global warming” is the latest version of the “plandemic”, it is not hard to imagine the West Coast having another earthquake.  If humans were a serious people, then there would be some “incentives” to move away from the danger zone (i.e., not permitting new development or expansion in that area; tax and insurance rates to encourage movement; “buy” endangered property owners out to make parks).  But we’re not a “serious species” probably doing nothing, and then be “shocked” when a predicted disaster happens.  Argh!

POLITICAL: The right of self-determination trumps the desires of the status quo elite

Secession: Why Redrawing US State Borders Makes Politicians So Mad – LewRockwell
By Ryan McMaken
<< EDITOR ADDED DATE 2025-02-27>>

*** begin quote ***

The opponents of state-level secession should give it a rest. Few people outside Illinois with families and jobs—and who want to mind their own business—care if the border between Illinois and Indiana is changed. The same is true of the line between Idaho and Oregon. These lines weren’t drawn by the Almighty. Politicians care deeply about such things, however, because they care deeply about power, and about preserving the status quo that has served the ruling class so well.

*** end quote ***

At the risk of reigniting the War for Southern Independence aka the (un) Civil War, what’s wrong with allowing voters to change boundaries or even leave these United States?

From a just Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee POV, why shouldn’t Staten Island escape liberal New York and join the less liberal Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee?

Similarly, Texas, Hawaii, California, Alaska, and New Hampshire should all be allowed to decide their fates.  (Remember that only North Dakota currently has the ability to clear checks thru the (not) Federal Reserve System via their current Bank of North Dakota.)  All throughout the world, people should be allowed the right of self-determination.  Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Straight Line Borders drawn my the English and French to divide ethic groups into “manageable” populations didn’t happen.  Ethinic minorities would be too busy fighting each other to focus on the foreign invaders.

Let’s all agree that the right of self-determination trumps the desires of the status quo elite.

SURVIVAL: Bear spray! Are you kidding me?

Major warning for hikers as apex predator thought to be extinct for a century is spotted in California park

n the past 100 years, there have been fewer than 30 documented attacks by wild wolves on humans in not only the US, but North America as a whole – with only two dying after contracting rabies from bites suffered in Alaska in the 1940s, according to reports. 

Still, carrying a canister of bear spray is advised, officials said – as the animal can become aggressive towards parties it views as competition to its food source.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, meanwhile, has yet to release more information on the sighting.

*** end quote ***

While I’m happy that the wolves are back and I wonder what changes they will bring with them.  Yellowstone experienced a lot less moose damage by the rivers and streams when the wolves came back there.

But if, by some twist of fate, I went hiking in the woods, then bear spray be damned.  Too many two legged and four legged hazards for my taste.  I’d want at least 45 caliber sidearm for my personal protection.  If the varmints don’t like loud noises, I’d fire a warning shot.  If possible.  Otherwise, center of mass, baby.  And keep firing until the threat is no more.  Reload if need be.

No excuse for being unprepared.

After Police Didn’t Take it Seriously He Exposed an International Bike Theft Ring on His Own
By Andy Corbley – Aug 30, 202

*** begin quote ***

As one might imagine, the police in counties like Sonoma, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz didn’t listen to him. “We’re not Interpol” they would say.

*** and ***

Hance had been clued into the Colorado bike smuggling ring with a Modus Operandi extremely similar to that of the one he believed was behind the thefts all over California, but was even more bold—bike thieves at one point smashed through the front of a bike shop with a van, loaded up the van with a dozen bikes, and drove off.

As to the California smugglers, Hance believes the man at the end of the trail is operating out of Jalisco, and Hance’s sleuthing turned up perhaps the chief fence on this side of the border. Victoriano Romero—who was then subsequently raided by police and found to be in possession of bikes similar to ones reported stolen on Bike Index, along with $200,000 cash in a strongbox in his San Jose auto shop.

The arrest of Romero hasn’t disrupted the network, and Hance still sees that the Jalisco seller routinely offers high-end bikes for sale on his social media pages: accessible only because Hance uses a VPN to funnel his connection through Mexico.

*** end quote ***

Maybe the politicians and bureaucrats of Sonoma, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz should put Brian Hance in as their Police Commissioner?  

I can’t imagine a bigger slap in the face than a private individual cracking international crime rings.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Sure, “banning” stuff by “law” works out so well

California lawmakers approve legislation to ban deepfakes, protect workers and regulate AI
By TRÂN NGUYỄN
Updated 3:06 AM EDT, September 1, 2024

*** begin quote ***

Lawmakers approved legislation to ban deepfakes related to elections and require large social media platforms to remove the deceptive material 120 days before Election Day and 60 days thereafter. Campaigns also would be required to publicly disclose if they’re running ads with materials altered by AI.

A pair of proposals would make it illegal to use AI tools to create images and videos of child sexual abuse. Current law does not allow district attorneys to go after people who possess or distribute AI-generated child sexual abuse images if they cannot prove the materials are depicting a real person.

Tech companies and social media platforms would be required to provide AI detection tools to users under another proposal.

*** end quote ***

Yeah, passing “laws” makes everything better.  How is it working for drugs?  

I think the word “LAW” should be restricted to real laws.  Like the Law of Gravity, Law of Unintended Consequences, or Law of Gravity.

What Gooferments passes are diktats.  Bureaucrats make “regulations”.  

Useless for all those who just don’t follow the rules.

Argh!

Assuming that Gooferment Skrules gets Federal money, then where does the Bill of Rights say that?
