THE UNRESPONSIVE SCUSD AND WILDLIFE CORRIDOR PROTECTION AT PETERSON FIELD

X = BRIAN OSBORNE NATURE CENTER @ PETERSON MIDDLE SCHOOL

Back during May 2017 John found out from some fellow Birdland neighbors that chickens were going to be removed from the old Full Circle farm parcel at the Peterson Middle School field in Sunnyvale, California -- so John started an effort to keep the chickens at the farm. And it is not clear how it all happened; but John spoke to the new farm manager a few months back and he said chickens were going to be brought back to new farm. According to these neighbors the school district was going to take over operations of the new farm; and a wildlife biologist was being hired to oversee the Peterson field wildlife. 

But now California ground squirrels are being mass-poisoned at the Peterson field once again; and dogs who are being walked at the field are being sickened from the poison again as well -- leaving people wondering how an alleged new wildlife biologist could have allowed this kind of wholesale slaughter of such important animals to occur. The entire field parcel was supposed to be added as an extension of the Peterson nature area; not turned into an environmental dead zone as it has as of late. 

The main focus of this blog post is the fact that SCUSD trustees are all but unresponsive to the emails sent by neighbors to them. I have heard from a few neighbors that every time they try to communicate with SCUSD trustees; they do not respond whatsoever. Not even a "Thank you for your comments". Nothing. It's as if just because they are overseeing operations that deal with school children; they see this as being a noble act and anything they do is ok. I suppose it is somewhat of a noble act; but then again all this says is that when these children grow up into adults -- they will eventually be ignored as well.

I can understand (for instance) North Korea being largely unresponsive to folks who are trying to communicate with them; but not the SCUSD. Below is the segment added to the BIRDLAND FREE PRESS in May of 2017:

 <><><>

16 MAY 2017 UPDATE / BREAKING NEWS: The Full Circle Farm in Sunnyvale has become financially insolvent as of late; therefore unable to continue on as it was -- but the good news is the Santa Clara Unifed School District (SCUSD) has decided to officially take over management duties of the farm due to its' obvious educational/scientific etc purposes.

But the SCUSD has unfortunately also decided the various farm animals need to be removed and relocated elsewhere -- through a Yahoo Birdland Neighbors newsgroup discussion group that I was eliminated from many years ago (a civil rights violation; as private web sites of public accommodation = private businesses of public accommodation) for exposing local police misconduct; when I was one of the main people who spearheaded the effort to bring about the farm with a massive 10,000 piece self-funded neighborhood flyering effort.

I can understand moving some of the larger animals due to their need for more space; but the chickens and ducks and turkeys need to stay right where they are.

I heard it through 'the grapevine' (in other words; various covert neighborhood intelligence sources) that one old man who lives near the field complained about a rooster crowing; and that was part of the reason this knee jerk decision to remove the chickens etc occurred...

(while I complained for a decade about noise and harassment and stalking at my place of residence with no official action taken to stop it by the City of Sunnyvale).

But! what about the hoards of noisy, messy soccer folks who are allowed to speed through and/or clog our once quiet neighborhood with speeding traffic etc; leaving litter all over the place down at the Patrick Henry field (littering carries a $1000 dollar fine) on what would otherwise be nice quiet weekends and/or weeknights? 

Generating loud soccer crowd noise when some adjacent neighbors would perhaps like to sleep in or just have some peace and quiet? Chickens are obviously not the main problem here; people are. So don't be a chicken! Stand up for the birds of Birdland Neighborhood!

These free range birds are not only more free than most non-free range children (who quite often have their rights violated when they are being held against their will by their paranoid TV watching parents); but they are also more free and live a better life than about 99.9% of the chickens on this earth. So let us fully appreciate; protect and save this vestige of chicken freedom; and allow it to affect our own freedoms in a positive way. Because freedom is not free until chickens are free as well...

THE BOTTOM LINE: Unless these said chickens can be guaranteed a quality of life as good or better than what they have already experienced (happy free range chickens roaming about instead of being in cramped cages) I am asking you to email the SCUSD Board of Trustees and OPPOSE THE SCUSD ORDER TO REMOVE THE CHICKENS (etc) FROM FULL CIRCLE FARM! 

EMAIL THE SCUSD AND TELL THEM: "THIS IS THE BIRDLAND NEIGHBORHOOD!
PLEASE KEEP THE CHICKENS; TURKEYS AND DUCKS AT THE NEW PETERSON MIDDLE SCHOOL FARM!..."

LAWS GOVERNING THE PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE CORRIDORS: 

AB 498, Levine. Wildlife conservation: wildlife corridors. / Existing law requires the Department of Fish and Wildlife to administer the Significant Natural Areas Program, and requires the department, among other things, to develop and maintain a spatial data system that identifies those areas in the state that are most essential for maintaining habitat connectivity, including wildlife corridors and habitat linkages. Existing law requires the department, contingent upon the provision of certain funding, to investigate, study, and identify those areas in the state that are most essential as wildlife corridors and habitat linkages and prioritize vegetative data development in those areas. Existing law requires the department to seek input from representatives of other state agencies, local government, federal agencies, nongovernmental conservation organizations, landowners, agriculture, recreation, scientific entities, and industry in determining essential wildlife corridors and habitat linkages.

CALIFORNIA GROUND SQUIRRELS @ PETERSON MIDDLE SCHOOL FIELD IN SUNNYVALE

RED TAILED HAWK @ PETERSON FIELD

"A keystone species for the state's grasslands, the California ground squirrel provides food and shelter to numerous other species. Golden eagles, coyotes, and rattlesnakes depend on squirrels for food, while rare amphibians like the California tiger salamander spend most of their lives in the squirrels' burrows..." > GO TO: Lord of the Burrows @ https://baynature.org/article/lord-of-the-burrows/

On 26 October 2017 as I was exercising at the Peterson field; I spoke to a Birdland neighbor who saw me looking at the tags marking various ground squirrel burrows around the field. (see photos below) I heard from neighbors that the wildlife habitat at the Peterson field was now being protected as an extension of the Peterson nature area (something I have repeatedly suggested for years) and that the SCUSD hired a new wildlife biologist to oversee operations at the field. So I initially thought these markers were to protect the ground squirrels until I looked a little closer yesterday and learned the truth. Ground squirrels at the Peterson field are being mass poisoned once again; and local dogs who run at the field have been falling ill in the last week or so from this applied poison.

Now that Full Circle Farm is gone; it is becoming quite apparent that even though the farm was not financially solvent; they ran their operations with more of a heart for the animals and wildlife at the Peterson field than the new operators. I have spoken to the new farmer and he seems like a nice enough guy; but even nice people allow bad things to occur sometimes. And this may not have even been his idea as the SCUSD has been doing this same thing repeatedly for a long time; and Principal Susan Harris and/or the SCUSD grounds maintenance crew is likely behind it. 

SIGN THE PETITION! DEMAND AND END TO THE SCUSD POISONING OF CALIFORNIA GROUND SQUIRRELS AT PETERSON FIELD IN SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA! @ https://www.thepetitionsite.com/573/889/888/demand-and-end-to-the-poisoning-of-california-ground-squirrels-at-peterson-field/ + PETITION TO TERMINATE THE EMPLOYMENT OF PETERSON MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL SUSAN HARRIS MYSTERIOUSLY DELETED!? @ http://addendumblog2.blogspot.com/2016/06/petition-to-terminate-employment-of.html

Note: With all the recent talk about the Trump administration retaliating against whistle blowers (VA whistle blowers; scientists etc) it should be of grave concern to many that a political enemy has been focused upon by the SCUSD and/or Principal Susan Harris then repeatedly retaliated against for activism. Not only did Principal Susan Harris allegedly directly retaliate against Lik Roper after getting actively involved in the political process in the early 2000s -- but Mister Roper also ended up as a "targeted individual" and/or "T.I." (police-sponsored harassment; stalking; menacing etc). The bottom line is science shows that California ground squirrels are an important keystone species worthy of increased protections; and the actions as of late are proof that largely Democratically controlled regions like the Santa Clara Valley suppress scientific knowledge as well.

OWL BOX INSTALLED BY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA FOR FULL CIRCLE FARM

THIS IS BIRDLAND! BIRDS ARE THE NATURAL SOLUTION!

1) CONTACT THE SCUSD MAINTENANCE AND FACILITIES DEPARTMENT AND TELL THEM TO STOP ALLOWING THE MASS POISONING OF GROUND SQUIRRELS AT THE PETERSON FIELD!

GOPHER 'TRAPPING' TAG? THE LACK OF TRAPPING BOXES
MAKES IT OBVIOUS THESE ANIMALS WERE BURIED ALIVE
AND POISONED BY THE SCUSD

8 nov 2011 @ 7:24 AM -- The dog seen on the left mysteriously fell ill and was put to sleep after dangerous pesticides were applied to the Peterson field a few years back. A tumor appeared in the dogs' nose which he used to sniff around on the field where the poison was applied. Can anyone say LAWSUIT?

THIS NESTING KILLDEER PROTECTION FLYER WAS FOUND AT THE PETERSON FIELD A FEW MONTHS AGO -- QUESTION: WHY IS THE KILLDEER POPULATION BEING PROTECTED BUT NOT THE KEYSTONE SPECIES GROUND SQUIRREL THAT SO MANY OTHER ANIMALS RELY ON FOR SURVIVAL?

The Peterson field has red tailed hawks that have frequented this spot for many years; a last vestige of biologically diverse wildlife habitat left on the Santa Clara Valley floor. Small song birds have been seen exiting the ground Squirrel burrows at the Peterson field on particularly cold mornings; and at one point in time endangered burrowing owls lived at the field as well. But due to lax environmental protections by the City of Sunnyvale etc they have disappeared from this parcel.  The last known burrowing owl was seen at the Raynor Park kiddie playground. 

The City of Sunnyvale actually closed the Raynor playground for one breeding season; but failed to continue protecting the owls -- and since then they have disappeared from this area. When the Full Circle Farm first began operations at the field; there was a burrowing owl living right under a large shipping storage container -- but the container was moved without knowledge of the nest and burrowing owls have been gone from the Peterson field ever since then. Where is the outrage?

SQUIRRELS ARE PEOPLE TOO!

GOOGLE CENSORSHIP

I tend to think that one of the main problems here is the a major difference between the the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1 of the California Constitution. The First Amendment allows free speech and expression almost without limits; while Article 1 of the California Constitution is a contradictory two-faced law that alternately allows and disallows free speech at the same time.

Whoever drafted: "Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press..." is and/or was either really stupid and/or really stupid. One or the other.

Why? Because "being responsible for the abuse of this right" and "a law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press" are two segments of the exact same article that are obviously in direct contradiction with each other; creating a "bait and switch" quandary of sorts.

The California Constitution Article 1 opinion stating: "You can speak freely ~ but you can't speak freely" doesn't hold water. It's essentially a sinking ship that always needs the S.O.S. of federal court assistance to make things right. We can all either speak freely or we cannot ~ therefore we all can speak freely. 

And Google is probably leaning more towards the California view rather than the federal view of free speech at this point in time. But that is a bad precedent to set for a company in charge of regulating the free speech of the entire world through You Tube and/or Google blogger etc.

That's why many free speech matters coming before the courts refer to federal law over state law. Unless the speech in question has denied or threatened to deny an individual and/or individuals of their basic constitutional requirements (life; liberty and the pursuit of happiness -- and/or perhaps breach of peace and/or threatening cruel and unusual punishment) it's anything goes when it comes to free speech. 

And most can agree that California privacy laws are obviously a great thing for all people; while Californias' arbitrarily applied thought censorship laws are generally a bad thing for all people. Why?

Because all people think differently with their individual expression so there is no obvious and/or established 'right' or 'wrong'. (all thoughts that stray from the 'liberal' bastion are not necessarily 'conservative' or 'wrong') And the First Amendment is not without limits. For example; making criminal threats is obviously and rightfully against the law.

And for all intents and purposes; while most judges enjoy a certain amount of freedom that all of us mere mortals do not enjoy; they are also bound by the high expectations of others -- making them generally unable to speak freely unless they are making a judgement in court. But judges are rarely terminated for their faulty judgements and/or opinions. These sometimes questionable judgements are for appellate courts to sort out.

The bottom line: the First Amendment was argued for roughly 14 years before final ratification on December 15th, 1791; so it's a done deal. It is written in stone. You can keep your mouth shut for self-protection due to the heinous thoughts you think; but we are all free to speak and express ourselves. We are all free to continue arguing. The Founding Fathers probably went around and around in circles until they realized that everyone is offensive to someone; eventually likely coming to the uncomfortable conclusion that it's ok to be offended. 

Note: "I'm deeply offended that you're deeply offended": It's ok to be deeply offended because someone else is deeply offended. Everyone is right because everyone is wrong. I'm ok -- you're ok.

And speaking of that; John met a female Google employee a few months ago at a karaoke bar; and she was one of the most verbally abusive; malicious; foul mouthed; abusive bitches John has met in a long time -- making sexual comments about genitals etc. While it did not necessarily bother John; it shows there is likely a very toxic "boys against girls and/or girls against boys" culture (Hillary) existent at Google. 

(By the way; the female in question is a South African Caucasian with a British accent who is in charge of music videos at Google)

Leading me directly to: Google firing one of it's employees for exercising his rights to free speech and expression.

"In ideology-driven authoritarian regimes, locking someone out of the labor market because you don't like their ideas is a common approach. Behind the Iron Curtain, for instance, if you weren't sufficiently Marxist, it didn't necessarily mean a trip to the gulag. You would just find that you were out of a job. Of course, the blowback against this Google employee is not top-down authoritarianism or orthodoxy enforced by the state. No, in America when you violate the PC code of conduct, a small cadre of people will dust off the outrage machine -- and millions of people will fuel it...

The result of such a lynch-mob mentality fueled by intolerance for different points of view is twofold. First, it winnows out those who might disagree, making the cone of tolerance and ideological pluralism ever-more narrow. Second, it drives holders of minority viewpoints or people with differing ideas underground, and causes them to seek out and communicate only those who agree with them -- which can push them to radicalization..." -- Mark Randazza 

GO TO: http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/07/opinions/google-employee-manifesto-against-diversity-opinion-randazza/index.html 

Constitution of United States of America 1789 (rev. 1992) AMENDMENT I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION / ARTICLE 1  DECLARATION OF RIGHTS / SEC. 2. (a) Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press.

NOTE: You Tube (in other words; Google) recently deleted important evidence related to a potential court case spanning roughly a decade of abuse; saying it "violated community standards". Question: Why the hell didn't it violate neighborhood community standards when it occurred in reality as opposed to the virtual reality of You Tube? 

Adding to this: there is likely very good reason why the First Amendment came before the Second Amendment; because we can say whatever (the fuck) we want and not get shot for saying it. You can have a gun and others can speak their minds and no one can shoot anyone for talking. Adding to this; if you can kill an animal with a gun -- I can say whatever I damn well please and you can't shoot me for saying it.
 

This opinion is more liberal than most liberal opinions. It is somewhat of a "progressive liberal" stance that breaks through the log jam of liberal censorship and takes into consideration the needs of all people.

"I keep thinking the order of the first and second amendment was done this way for good reason; because "first off: I can say whatever the fuck I want; and second: you can't shoot me for saying it"...why? probably because in the old days when someone mouthed off they often got shot (at saloons etc) for "spewin' them fightin' werds!"...but nowadays we simply resort to softer tactics like blocking people on Facebook and/or firing Google employees etc...it's the same basic feeling that manifests as different modern action: "you are saying something that i don't like; therefore you have to be officially punished somehow" etc...but it always gets back to the First Amendment being argued for roughly 14 years before final ratification; and the inevitable conclusion that we are all free to continue arguing...which makes perfect sense...everyone can say something seen as being abhorrent to another person; so we all just need to keep talking...but since the rise of free speech on the internet roughly 20 years ago; 200+ years later Americans are still struggling with the same exact question: are we free to express ourselves or not? the argument is done; we're all free to continue arguing..."

THE 9/11 INCIDENT: FRAUDULENT CLAIMS ETC

At some point the United States government will have to finally admit some fault in this matter. There is way too much at stake to do otherwise. In the case of the 9/11 incident and the follow up investigation; there are too many lies to count -- with no official affirmative action taken to correct these various discrepancies as of yet. The American people have been fed a false 9/11 dialogue that needs drastic revision. There is not only way too much exculpatory evidence to continue ignoring; but also way too many rights that stand to be wrongfully violated in the future from this egregious, overarching multifarious conduct. Someone has to finally; forcefully break down this wall of silence and speak the truth -- once and literally FOR ALL. For instance; in a court case dealing with law enforcement -- one single lie can upend an entire case and causing mistrial, false verdict or appeal.

At least part of the problem with the U.S. no-fly list is population-based; in that numerous people became expeditiously semi-criminalized lacking due process (using secret evidence unavailable to the accused) therein creating a logistical nightmare of sorts for all affected; mainly the judiciary. Therefore some new system of due process needs to be created to deal with this formidable population-based judicial quandary.

Perhaps some form of court-based online submission/exoneration due process system for the affected. Suspects need to increasingly own and/or control their own data so they can more effectively defend themselves and overcome this justice obstructing, due process log jam.

The bottom line: most of the rights violations and/or police misconduct etc that John experienced happened during this post-911 era of overarching multifarious corruption and deceit.

NOTE: After touring with a rock band many years back; John flew so much that he swore he would never fly again -- and John has by choice not flown since. So this no-fly list does not necessarily affect John -- but there are countless others who it does affect and/or who need to have this legally required due process to clear their good names. > SEE ALSO: The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution each contain a due process clause. Due process deals with the administration of justice and thus the due process clause acts as a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property by the Government outside the sanction of law. > Go To: Due Process Clause - Wikipedia @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Due_Process_Clause 

NOTE: Shortly after September 11, 2001 the FBI admitted to actively actively destabilizing activists for 25 years prior to the 9-11 attacks (and especially black activists); and the USA Patriot Act later turned this dirty little secret into law. (source: ACLU) + "The USA Patriot act did more harm to Americans than help them, they've used the 9/11 event to abuse our rights and invade our privacy and claim it's for our safety..." -- Anonymous
