The FPPC ( "Fair Political Practice Commission" ) was established as part of the Political Reform Act of 1974.  It was established to oversee and regulate Statement of Economic Interest documents (SEI 700 documents) as well as many other documents and processes for elected officials (  state, county, and city)  as well as other civil servants that may affect their own self interest.  

Unfortunately, as with many things in California in the 1960s and 1970s, there were Attorneys and Attorneys in Legislature who seemed to be hijacking the entire California Political, Judicial and Commercial System. That was the time when Willie Brown was coming into power,  he was an Attorney, and when you see what he and those he served with did "systemically" to take California off the tracks, most will find it worse than anything they currently think of now.  Most people were looking at individual corruption and few were paying attention to the systems they were rigging for long term control.

With regards to SEI 700 forms,  from the outside looking in, the idea of detailed forms asking for all Assets, Income,. gifts and more looks and sounds great. Unfortunately, in the instructions, which are not on the forms themselves,  FPPC Attorneys were telling aspiring politicians and other required filers they need not disclose real estate related to their primary residence, nor second homes, nor homes outside of the jurisdiction which they were serving.   This would NOT be intuitive just from looking at the forms. 

People gain special consideration on loans, special consideration on tax assessments, engage in above and below market value transfers, and frankly they could have been given a home,  with no proper oversight. It also allowed people to be given homes to live in for reduced rent and rent free -- and if a required filer happened to be European or Asian Royalty, with a  Castle in their own name outside the jurisdiction of their assignment,  no reporting was required. 

The oversight system was a robust and complex HOAX.   This "non-oversight",  "oversight system" was put in place by Attorneys and the legal lobby in 1974 and it's being  under the direction of California Attorneys since 1974. 

Prior to getting into specific concerns about the FPPC and its Attorneys today,  you need to understand larger concerns with the entire CA Legal Lobby and Court System landscape first. 

In the 1960s judges did not have to have a law license. They were elected from the most respected people in the community. From the 1960s to 1980s the legal lobby and their members in legislature changed the rules to require licenses for Criminal Judges first, then Civil Judges then all Judges had to be members of the Bar for 10 years before qualifying to run for Judge. This was a coup by people who realized if they settled lawsuits properly -- they couldn't make a living -- but if they strung out the work they could get, they could make a living.   By requiring 10 years of tenure of their own,  they prevented naive people who went through law school from becoming Judges before they figured out they games they had to play to earn a living.  Thus there is NOT a Judge on the Superior Court today who didn't first figure out how the game had to be played to keep their legal lobby brethren financially stable AND none of their behavior is or has been in the best interest of the public since the 1980s.   

1974 - Political Reform Act -- implemented with proper forms but bad instructions. Encouraged cheating and attracted unethical people. That is all good for legal lobby business. More criminal behavior means more lawsuits.  This was a legal lobby driven hoax. 

1985 - CIV 1102 - Attorneys in Legislature passed a law for Real Estate disclosure that told buyers they were to  ratify contracts BEFORE being given seller disclosure documents  of condition.   This created "not contracts" that protected brokers, seller and errors and omissions insurance companies. The additional harm via this is the destruction of the reliance element  needed to pursue cases for fraud. This was a legal lobby driven hoax.

1985-1990 - CCP 1032 / 1033.5 -- Attorneys in Legislature modified benign looking rules for "cost shifting" by adding "as a matter of right" and "attorney fees" as costs when no such blur had ever existed prior.   The result statue read at face value violates  long standing case precedent and 120 years of history but the Attorneys involved stated it was NOT to change law (the people most interested in parsing words said "don't worry about the vagueness or confusion, that's not what we meant").  A simple analysis will show what this actually did was change the sales pitch civil defense attorneys could give malfeasant clients and it changed the cautionary disclosure civil plaintiff attorneys had to give -- which forced  settlements for pennies on the dollar with non-disclosure agreements for harmed parties and it allowed for repeat criminal behavior with little to no court exposure.  It unlawfully tilted the entire legal system towards defendants and all attorneys. This was a legal lobby driven hoax.

Willi Brown was engaged as a leader during all of this legislation.  Other people who went on to become Attorney Generals were also involved.  Attorney John R. McDonough Jr, the key legal driver behind the CIV 1102 manipulation may have also been behind others. He started treating the CA Legal System as his own petri dish in 1949 when he got the CA Legislature to terminate reliance on Common Law  -- which only lasted 2 years due to the chaos he created then.

What has just been described was a systematic engineering / destruction of the civil legal system in California, to the benefit of Attorneys and the Legal Lobby -- and this is only what's known now. It's presumed others contributed to this control grid -- and it’s known case precedent was then unlawfully wrapped around the CCP 1032 / 1033.5 fraud.  This was a legal lobby driven hoax.

There use to be Municipal Courts and Justice of the Peace Courts (for non-incorporated area courts).  The Judges were elected from the community and they did not have to be licensed.    The attorneys were more like clerks who provided legal facts for all to consider. 

In such a system, everyone was local, and thus had a vested interest in making sure right prevailed. Attorneys were not high paid in general. They were civil servants. Most forget they are  sworn in as "Officers of the Court".  

These courts started getting consolidated in the 1990s. Some  said it was due to technology needs.  In 2000 , in a state level coup, all remaining municipal and justice of peace courts were "merged" with the Superior Courts, which would have been appellate courts for county business prior.  

Communities lost their contact with their own local court systems, local judges, and local attorneys.  Currently,  a person in south county is over an hour away from the only court house that serves them , when prior court may have been held in a local grange on a saturday where everybody could come and express concern.  

In theory, the Superior Court Judge are elected officials.  However, many retire before their term is up and the Governor, not the Board of Supervisors appoints a new Judge and often from outside the County. Then come election time, it's rare for a contest to transpire, because no other judges exist in the county to get practice. 

Of even greater concern, these County Judges are now in fact State Employees -- and all their oversight comes from one centralized Commission for the entire state.  If they are committing fraud in our county, we have no local oversight board to hold them accountable. 

Do you see what was lost now?  Do you see how all this has been "federalized" now?  This was a legal lobby driven hoax.

As stated above, Superior Court Judges are "elected" by county constituents, but they are in fact state employees with ZERO county oversight or reporting obligations.  

Self Help in Monterey County offers no help for limited and unlimited Civil Claims at all. No process info. No form completion info. Nothing (they do offer help for family law, probate and small claims but not regular civil).   

Links on the Monterey County website point to help pages but the pages show up blank.  Judges in the Court rooms will tell unrepresented people they can get help in self help when none exist and they all did or should have known that when given the false instructions.   

The Civil Courts STOPPED all recording  (audio/video) for all proceedings other than trials themselves -- which only involves 1% of filed cases -- in 2022 due to "costs".  At no time in history has it been less expensive to record and store data yet they stopped recording?  The judges and their processes are now "un-auditable".    

The Superior Court of Monterey County is NOT publishing court documents via the internet as has been required since 2007 by statute.  

The Court Document room is only open from 8:30 - 4pm weekdays with a lunch break -- and the cost for printing documents is $1-$2 per page.  

The court system which is supposed to be by the people and for the people has been inverted. 

The CA Bar gets over 15,000 complaints a year for 260,000 licensed Attorneys (190,000 active).  That's 1 in 8 attorneys getting a complaint filed against them each year.  Yet less than 50 complaints are typically adjudicated and for the most part they only pursue senior attorneys for manipulation of escrows.  Other than that, they are generally lawless. 

If you are not aware, the State Bar was recently sued for Racketeering.   Attorney Tom Girardi  bribed bar reviewer(s) to bury complaints against him while also mis-appropriating client funds.  Girardi's wife was on the House Wives of Beverly Hills series and in fact he was Erin Brockovich's boss for the past few decades. And yes, there are now serious concerns about the legitimacy of the Brockovich story as well.  People seemed to be getting sick, but the legitimacy of the correlation to HexChrome is the concern now.  

It's well known that PGE was caught faking science to refute Brokovich's claims, but nobody seems to have questioned the idea that maybe they were just returning fraudulent science with fraudulent science -- such that they could avoid a larger correlation exposure that may or may not have been known to Brockovich.  The real concerns with her and them can be seen if you ask AI for a detailed breakdown of cases Brokovich was involved in after that. She and her boss were hit with a $400,000 frivolous lawsuit sanctioned by a judge a few years later. After that she has bounced around the country with little success and a lot of concern about pseudo science. 

If you have ever tried to do anything with the California Bar Association -- you may have noticed  some links on their website go to dead ends.The process for filing a Bar Complaint may seem straight forward, but the confirmation emails and documents are often missing information and they are blanket ignoring 10,000's of complaints a year.

With the above history understood, it now may be easier to accept a few facts at this time with an more instant understanding of ramifications: 

1. The FPPC is instructing people to engage in loophole use that runs contra to the best interest of the Citizens of California, but benefits the political class of California and the legal lobby who benefits from a criminal political class. 

2. The FPPC is not properly reviewing forms submitted to them. They are accepting forms that are incomplete. 

3. The FPPC has created a separate e-filing system from the county. They are now asking some county filers (board of Supervisors and all Elected officials) who's forms use to be forwarded to the FPPC to file directly with them as opposed to filing with their County Clerk and having that document forwarded.  

   1. 1.  This has created an opportunity for officials to engage in "bifurcated filing"  - where different data sets are being submitted to county vs state (as evidenced by Glenn Church).   

      2. It's suspected this was / is to draw more attention to the instructions they can provide -- which in fact support less disclosure than filers would intuit by reading the forms. 

      3. It's suspected their next move will be to eliminate county filing completely -- and the problems there are many -- because they will be educating on every loophole available AND at this point, with all facts known about legal lobby corruption,  it's impossible to believe they may not be modifying filing data for people when they see too much information or information they feel should be hidden. There's no way for anybody to truly audit their e-file system.  If they want to hide things they will be hidden.  

4. Superior Court Judges have only been filing their SEI 700 forms with the FPPC for 25+ years due to the consolidation situation. .  There has been no  county filing since the early 2000's.  FPPC officials reviewing forms and e-filed data could have identified compromised judges just from their forms and exploited them various ways.  (as will become evident when you learn to audit SEI 700 forms too).  We can also show an example of a Judge who filed as one might expect when appointed , but then, just 8 months later he had nothing to disclose.  It's presumed he got training or insight from somebody. 

5. FPPC emails to executives and their publicly facing email addresses are bouncing.  It appears they have built a digital moat around themselves making it impossible to engage them via email. 

6. other...

Emails and documents will be provided.  What is transpiring is further loss of control of oversight -- and the people overseeing them are all Attorneys and all part of a system that has just been exposed for egregious , unlawful manipulation of the legal system for decades. 

More coming soon.
